II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is releasing for public comment its human health and
environmental fate and effects risk assessments and related documents
for dicamba, and soliciting public comment on risk management ideas or
proposals. Dicamba is a selective benzoic acid herbicide registered for
the control of certain broadleaf weeds and woody plants before their
emergence. EPA developed the risk assessments and risk characterization
for dicamba through a modified version of its public process for making
pesticide reregistration eligibility and tolerance reassessment
decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that pesticides meet
current standards under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA).
    Dicamba causes sensitive plants to exhibit rapid uncontrolled
growth. There are six different forms of dicamba acid and salts being
considered for reregistration including the dicamba acid, dimethylamine
(DMAS) salt, sodium (Na) salt, isopropylamine (IPA) salt, diglycolamine
(DGA) salt, and potassium (K) salt. Dicamba is registered for use on
rights of way areas, asparagus, barley, corn (field and pop), grasses,
oats, proso millet, rye, sorghum, soybeans, sugarcane, wheat, golf
courses, and residential lawns.
    EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice, for
interested parties to provide comments and input on the Agency's risk
assessments for dicamba. Such comments and input could address, for
example, the availability of additional data to further refine the risk
assessments, or could address the Agency's risk assessment
methodologies and assumptions as applied to this specific pesticide.
    Through this notice, EPA also is providing an opportunity for
interested parties to provide risk management proposals or otherwise
comment on risk management for dicamba. Risks of concern associated
with the use of dicamba are for plants, birds, and small mammals. In
targeting these risks of concern, the Agency solicits information on
effective and practical risk reduction measures.
    EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income, in the development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks
information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a
result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may
have atypical, unusually high exposure to dicamba, compared to the
general population.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these
programs, the Agency is tailoring its public participation process to
be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of
the issues, and degree of public concern associated with each
pesticide.

 For dicamba, a modified, 4-Phase process with one comment period and
ample opportunity for public consultation seems appropriate in view of
its relatively low risks. However, if as a result of comments received
during this comment period EPA finds that additional issues warranting
further discussion are raised, the Agency may lengthen the process and
include a second comment period, as needed.
    All comments should be submitted using the methods in Unit I. of
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, and must be received by EPA on or before
the closing date. Comments will become part of the Agency Docket for
dicamba. Comments received after the close of the comment period will
be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, directs that, after
submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ``the
Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active
ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' before calling in product
specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering
products or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.``
    Section 408(q) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review
tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August
2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the
requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review is to
be completed by August 3, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On July 24, 2015, we issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 to revise AD 2015-12-09, Amendment 39-18184 (80
FR 34831, June 18, 2015), which applied to Airbus Helicopters Model
EC135P1, EC135T1, EC135P2, EC135T2, EC135P2+, EC135T2+, and MBB-BK 117
C-2 helicopters. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August
3, 2015 (80 FR 45900). The NPRM was prompted by the discovery of an
incorrectly dated Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) in the Credit for
Previous Actions section of AD 2015-12-09. The NPRM proposed to retain
the actions required by AD 2015-12-09 and correct the ASB date and
revise other information throughout the AD.
    AD 2015-12-09 was prompted by AD No. 2013-0176, dated August 7,
2013, issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member
States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition for
Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH Model EC 135 P1 (CDS), EC 135 P1 (CPDS), EC
135 P2+, EC 135 P2 (CPDS), EC 135 T1 (CDS), EC 135 T1 (CPDS), EC 135
T2+, EC 135 T2 (CPDS), EC 635 P2+, EC 635 T1 (CPDS), EC 635 T2+, and
MBB-BK 117 C-2 helicopters. EASA advises that during installation work
on a helicopter, it was discovered that it was not possible to install
attachment hardware on a threaded blind borehole between the Smart
Electro Mechanical Actuator (SEMA) and the control rod without play.
EASA advises that this condition, if not detected and corrected, could
lead to loss of the concerned control axis, possibly resulting in loss
of helicopter control. For these reasons, EASA AD No. 2013-0176
requires a one-time inspection of the affected SEMA attachment hardware
to detect improper connection and play and, depending on the findings,
replacement of the affected hardware. After the issuance of EASA AD No.
2013-0176, Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH changed its name to Airbus
Helicopters Deutschland GmbH.
    When AD 2015-12-09 was published, an incorrect reference to the
date of Eurocopter ASB EC135-22A-015, Revision 0, dated May 13, 2008,
appeared in the text of the rule. Specifically, AD 2015-12-09 includes
the following under paragraph (f), Credit for Previous Actions: ``If
you performed the actions in Eurocopter Alert Service Bulletin EC135-
22A-015, Revision 0, dated May 13, 2018, or Eurocopter Alert Service
Bulletin MBB BK117 C-2-22A-009, Revision 0, May 13, 2008, before the
effective date of this AD, you met the requirements of this AD.'' As
published, the reference to May 13, 2018, is incorrect. The correct
date for Eurocopter ASB EC135-22A-015, Revision 0, is May 13, 2008.
    Accordingly, we are revising AD 2015-12-09 to correct the date for
Eurocopter ASB EC135-22A-015, Revision 0. Further, we updated the
physical address of the FAA Southwest Regional Office throughout this
AD and the email address for requesting an Alternative Method of
Compliance (AMOC). We did not change any other part of the preamble or
regulatory information. The final rule is reprinted in its entirety for
the convenience of affected operators.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we received no comments on the NPRM (80 FR 45900, August
3, 2015).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Germany and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with Germany, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these same
type designs.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Eurocopter reported in ASBs EC135-22A-015, Revision 1, dated
January 28, 2013, and MBB BK117 C-2-22A-009, Revision 1, dated August
3, 2009, that it was discovered during the installation work on a
helicopter that it was not possible to establish attachment hardware on
a threaded blind borehole between the SEMA and the control rod without
play. The ASBs state that ``unfavourable adding of the tolerances'' of
the individual attachment hardware elements caused the screw to push
against the bottom of the threaded blind borehole on the SEMA,
preventing any clamping force on the screw head. The ASBs call for
inspecting the SEMA attachment hardware connected to their respective
control rods for play and making the proper adjustments to eliminate
any play. This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 385 helicopters of U.S. Registry
and that labor costs average $85 per work-hour. Based on these
estimates, we expect the following costs:
     Inspecting for movement of the washers requires 1.5 work-
hours for a labor cost of $128 per helicopter and $49,280 for the U.S.
fleet.
     Replacing the screws and related work requires an
additional 0.5 work-hours for a labor cost of $43. Screws cost $4 each
while washers cost $10 each. We estimate the cost at $79 per repair.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and

responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:

    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0066; Airspace Docket No. 09-ACE-1]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Ord, NE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Ord, NE. Additional
controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate Area Navigation (RNAV)
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) at Evelyn Sharp Field
Airport, Ord, NE. This action also updates the geographic coordinates
of the airport to coincide with the FAA's National Aeronautical
Charting Office. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety
and management of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at Evelyn
Sharp Field Airport.

DATES: 0901 UTC, October 22, 2009. The Director of the Federal Register
approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR Part 51,
subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of
conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone (817) 321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 21, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Ord, NE,
adding additional controlled airspace at Evelyn Sharp Field Airport,
Ord, NE. (74 FR 18167, Docket No. FAA-2009-0066). Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by amending Class E airspace at Ord, NE, adding additional
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at
Evelyn Sharp Field Airport, Ord, NE, for the safety and management of
IFR operations. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA's National Aeronautical Charting
Office.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it adds additional controlled airspace at Evelyn Sharp Field
Airport, Ord, NE.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BCAQMD....................................          207  Wood Burning Devices.........     12/11/08     04/25/12
SMAQMD....................................          417  Wood Burning Appliances......     10/26/06     09/21/12
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 7, 2012 and October 11, 2012, EPA determined that the
submittals for BCAQMD Rule 207 and SMAQMD Rule 417 respectively, met
the completeness criteria in 40 CFR Part 51 Appendix V, which must be
met before formal EPA review.

B. Are there other versions of these rules?

    There are no previous versions of Rules 207 and 417 in the SIP.

C. What is the purpose of the submitted rules?

    VOCs help produce ground-level ozone and smog, which harm human
health and the environment. NOX helps produce ground-level
ozone, smog and particulate matter, which harm human health and the
environment. PM contributes to effects that are harmful to human health
and the environment, including premature mortality, aggravation of
respiratory and cardiovascular disease, decreased lung function,
visibility impairment, and damage to vegetation and ecosystems. Section
110(a) of the CAA requires States to submit regulations that control
VOC, NOX, and PM emissions. Rules 207 and 417 are designed
to minimize the impacts of smoke and other air pollutants generated
during the use of wood burning devices.
    BCAQMD Rule 207 includes requirements that (a) Retailers of wood
burning devices provide public awareness materials with each wood
burning device sold, (b) newly installed wood burning devices be
District-approved and inspected upon installation, (c) all newly
installed outdoor wood-fired boilers meet certain EPA or equivalent
emission standards, (d) no person shall advertise, sell, supply, or
transfer ownership of a used wood burning device, unless it has been
deemed permanently inoperable or is a District-approved device, and (e)
fuel

used in wood burning devices include only firewood or other wood/plant-
based products. The rule also outlines the criteria for District-
approval of wood burning devices and exempts devices deemed of
historical significance or those transferred via property sale. EPA's
technical support document (TSD) has more information about this rule,
including identification of several additional control options that are
generally reasonably available.
    SMAQMD Rule 417 includes requirements that (a) No person sell,
offer for sale, supply, install or transfer a wood burning appliance
unless it is a U.S. EPA Phase II wood burning heater, a pellet fueled
or masonry heater, or an appliance or fireplace that meets the emission
standard set forth in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart AAA and is approved by the
Air Pollution Control Officer (APCO), (b) retailers of wood burning
devices provide public awareness materials with each wood burning
device sold, (c) no person advertise, sell, supply, or transfer
ownership of a used wood burning device, unless it has been deemed
permanently inoperable or is an approved device, (d) the burning of
materials not intended for use in a fireplace/heater is prohibited, and
(e) wood sold within the District as ``seasoned'' or ``dry'' must have
a moisture content of 20 percent or less by weight. The TSD has more
information about this rule, including the basis and conclusion that
the rule requires all control measures that are reasonably available.

II. EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is EPA evaluating these rules?

    Generally, SIP rules must be enforceable (see section 110(a) of the
Act) and must not relax existing requirements (see sections 110(l) and
193).
    Guidance and policy documents that we use to evaluate
enforceability requirements consistently include the following:
    1. ``Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and
Deviations; Clarification to Appendix D of November 24, 1987 Federal
Register Notice,'' (Blue Book), notice of availability published in the
May 25, 1988 Federal Register.
    2. ``Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule
Deficiencies,'' EPA Region 9, August 21, 2001 (the Little Bluebook).
    Effective December 14, 2009, EPA designated portions of Chico
(Butte County), California and Sacramento, California as nonattainment
for the 2006 24-Hour PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS). 40 CFR 81.305 (2010); 74 FR 58688, 58705-58706
(November 13, 2009). For nonattainment areas, a State Implementation
Plan (SIP) submittal addressing implementation of all Reasonably
Available Control Measures (RACM) as expeditiously as practicable,
including Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for existing
sources was due by December 14, 2012. CAA Sec.  172(b) & (c)(1), 74 FR
58689, September 21, 2012. On October 26, 2012 and October 30, 2012 EPA
published proposed determinations that the Sacramento and Chico
nonattainment areas had attained the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS based upon complete, quality-assured, and certified ambient air
monitoring data showing that these areas had monitored attainment of
the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS based on the 2009-2011
monitoring period. See 77 FR 65346 and 77 FR 65651. If EPA finalizes
the determinations of attainment, the requirements for these areas to
submit an attainment demonstration, together with RACM, a reasonable
further progress (RFP) plan, and contingency measures for failure to
meet RFP and attainment deadlines would be suspended for so long as the
areas continues to attain the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. For
purposes of implementing the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, EPA
recommends that states evaluate potential RACM/RACT control measures
for sources of direct PM2.5 (including condensable PM),
SO2, and NOx in specific nonattainment areas, consistent
with the approach to evaluating RACM/RACT provided in EPA's
implementing regulations for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS at 40 CFR
part 51, subpart Z. See Memorandum from Stephen D. Page, Director, EPA
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards to Regional Air Directors,
Regions I-X, ``Implementation Guidance for the 2006 24-Hour Fine
Particle (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS).'' If EPA does not finalize the determinations of attainment
for the Chico and Sacramento nonattainment areas, the BCAQMD and SMAQMD
will need to adopt as RACM/RACT any potential PM2.5,
SO2, or NOx control measures that are reasonably available
considering technological and economic feasibility and that would,
considered collectively, advance the attainment date by one year or
more in the Chico or Sacramento nonattainment area. Id. Because Rules
207 and 417 regulate direct PM2.5 emissions from residential
wood-burning devices, the BCAQMD and SMAQMD should consider whether
reasonably available control measures for these emission sources could,
in combination with other reasonably available control measures,
advance attainment of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS in the area by at
least one year. If necessary, in separate rulemakings, EPA will act on
the State's RACM demonstration for the 2006 PM2.5 standard
based on an evaluation of the control measures submitted as a whole and
their overall potential to advance the applicable attainment date in
Chico, California and Sacramento, California. For additional control
options for BCAQMD that are generally reasonably available see the Rule
207's TSD's ``Additional Recommendations for the Next Rule Revision''.

B. Do the rules meet the evaluation criteria?

    We believe these rules are consistent with the relevant policy and
guidance regarding enforceability, and SIP revisions. The TSDs have
more information on our evaluation.

C. EPA Recommendations To Further Improve The Rule

    The TSDs describe additional rule revisions that we recommend for
the next time the local agencies modify these rules.

D. Public Comment and Final Action

    As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully
approving the submitted rules because we believe they fulfill all
relevant requirements. We do not think anyone will object to this
approval, so we are finalizing it without proposing it in advance.
However, in the Proposed Rules section of this Federal Register, we are
simultaneously proposing approval of the same submitted rule. If we
receive adverse comments by May 13, 2013, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register to notify the public that the direct
final approval will not take effect and we will address the comments in
a subsequent final action based on the proposal. If we do not receive
timely adverse comments, the direct final approval will be effective
without further notice on June 10, 2013. This will incorporate the rule
into the federally enforceable SIP.
    Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of the rules and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rules that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves State law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by State law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with
practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State,
and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 10, 2013. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. Parties with objections to this direct final
rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel
notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the Proposed
Rules section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an
immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so
that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in
the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-28229; Directorate Identifier 2006-SW-23-AD;
Amendment 39-15434; AD 2008-06-22]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model EC130 B4
Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
the specified Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model EC 130 B4
helicopters, with certain twist grip assemblies installed, that
requires inspecting the pilot and co-pilot collective levers for proper
bonding between the twist grip drive tubes and the control pinions and
if debonding is present, replacing the collective levers before further
flight. This amendment is prompted by one incident in which the engine
remained at idle speed although the twist grip had been turned to the
flight position. The actions specified by this AD are intended to
detect debonding between the twist grip drive tubes and the control
pinions on the pilot and co-pilot collective levers to prevent loss of
cockpit throttle control of the engine, and subsequent loss of control
of the helicopter.

DATES: Effective April 28, 2008.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of April 28, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may get the service information identified in this AD
from American Eurocopter Corporation, 2701 Forum Drive, Grand Prairie,
Texas 75053-4005, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Examining the Docket: You may examine the docket that contains this
AD, any comments, and other information on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or at the Docket Operations office, West Building
Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington,
DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Cuevas, Aviation Safety Engineer,
FAA, Rotorcraft Directorate, Safety Management Group, Fort Worth, Texas
76193-0111, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposal to amend 14 CFR part 39 to
include an AD for the specified model helicopters was published in the
Federal Register on May 21, 2007 (72 FR 28456). That action proposed to
require, within 110 hours time-in-service (TIS) or 4 months, whichever
occurs first, or before installing a collective lever with an affected
grip assembly on a helicopter, inspecting the bonding between the twist
grip drive tube and the control pinion on both the pilot and co-pilot
collective lever. If debonding is present, replacing the collective
lever before further flight was proposed.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) notified us that an
unsafe condition may exist on Eurocopter Model EC 130 B4 helicopters,
with a twist grip assembly, part number (P/N) 350A27520900,
350A27520901, 350A27520902, or 350A27520903, with a serial number below
64, installed on the pilot's side, and a twist grip assembly, P/N
350A27521201, with a serial number below 67, installed on the co-
pilot's side. EASA advises that analysis of an incident that occurred
during autorotation training revealed a failure of the twist grip drive
tube and control pinion bonded attachment. The engine remained at idle
speed although the twist grip had been turned back to the flight
position. The autorotation procedure continued to the ground without
damage to the helicopter. The failure has been attributed to non-
compliant surface preparation during manufacture.
    Eurocopter, an EADS Company, has issued Alert Service Bulletin
EC130 No. 76A001, dated February 10, 2006, which specifies a check by
use of a twist grip adjusting gauge of the bonding between the twist
grip drive tube and the control pinion on both the pilot and co-pilot
collective lever. EASA classified this service bulletin as mandatory
and issued AD No. 2006-0079, dated April

3, 2006, to ensure the continued airworthiness of these helicopters in
France.
    This helicopter model is manufactured in France and is type
certificated for operation in the United States under the provisions of
14 CFR 21.29 and the applicable bilateral agreement. Pursuant to the
applicable bilateral agreement, France, through the EASA, has kept the
FAA informed of the situation described above. The FAA has examined the
findings of the EASA, reviewed all available information, and
determined that AD action is necessary for products of this type design
that are certificated for operation in the United States.
    Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate
in the making of this amendment. No comments were received on the
proposal or the FAA's determination of the cost to the public. The FAA
has determined that air safety and the public interest require the
adoption of the rule as proposed.
    The FAA estimates that this AD will affect 73 helicopters of U.S.
registry. The debonding inspection will take approximately 0.25 work
hours per helicopter and replacing a collective lever will take
approximately 2 work hours at an average labor rate of $80 per work
hour. If replacement is necessary, required parts will cost
approximately:
     $8,651 for a co-pilot twist grip assembly, part number (P/
N) 350A27521201;
     $12,542 for a pilot twist grip assembly, P/N 350A27520903;
     $5 for a clamp, P/N ASNA0021;
     $2 for a bolt, P/N 22125BC050014L; and
     $1 for a nut, P/N 22431BC050L.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost impact of this
AD on U.S. operators to be $10,271, assuming one co-pilot twist grip
assembly is replaced in one helicopter, that the twist grip adjusting
gage (tool) and spring scale needed are on-site and available, and that
the co-pilot twist grip assembly is not covered by warranty, and no
pilot twist grip assembly will need to be replaced. The manufacturer
has indicated that parts are covered by warranty up to 1,000 hours or 2
years after the purchase of a new helicopter, however, it indicated
that labor is not covered by a warranty.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD. See the AD docket to examine the economic evaluation.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    NACOSH was established by Section 7(a) of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651, 656) to advise,
consult with, and make recommendations to the Secretary of Labor and
the Secretary of Health and Human Services on matters relating to the
administration of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing advisory
committee of indefinite duration.
    NACOSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), its implementing regulations (41 CFR part
102-3), and OSHA's regulations on NACOSH (29 CFR 1912.5 and 29 CFR part
1912a).
    The establishment of subcommittees and subgroups, such as the
NACOSH Heat Injury and Illness Prevention Work Group, is contemplated
by both the FACA's implementing regulations and OSHA's regulations on
NACOSH (see, e.g., 41 CFR 102-3.135; 29 CFR 1912a.13). The NACOSH Work
Group will operate in accordance with the FACA and these regulations.

develop recommendations for guidance materials, evaluate stakeholder
input, and develop recommendations on potential elements of a proposed
