SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 3, 2014, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to remove Class E airspace at
Forrest City, AR (79 FR 71710). 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 7400.9Y,
dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15, 2014, 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by removing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Forrest City Municipal Airport, Forrest City, AR.
Controlled airspace is no longer needed due to cancellation of standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the airport.
    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore, (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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does 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 United States Code. 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. 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 removes controlled airspace at Forrest City Municipal Airport,
Forrest City, AR.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace
action is not expected to cause any potentially significant
environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records Notice

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice to establish a system of records.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Transportation's Office of the Secretary of
Transportation (DOT/OST) proposes to establish a DOT-wide system of
records under the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) to cover
emergency contact records that are not covered by the government-wide
System of Records Notice (SORN) of the Office of Personnel Management,
OPM/GOVT-1. (OPM/GOVT-1 covers some but not all employee contact
records that are maintained outside the Official Personnel File, does
not cover agencies' emergency-program-related contact records, and does
not cover contact information about contractor personnel.) The DOT-wide
system, known as the Emergency Contact Records system (ECR), is more
thoroughly detailed below.

DATES: Effective December 27, 2010. Written comments should be
submitted on or before the effective date. DOT/OST may publish an
amended SORN in light of any comments received.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Habib Azarsina, Departmental
Privacy Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer, U.S.
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington,
DC 20590 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For privacy issues please contact:
Habib Azarsina, Departmental Privacy Officer, Office of the Chief
Information Officer, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or (202)
366-1965.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. DOT Emergency Contact Records

    This System of Records Notice covers all Privacy Act systems within
DOT that maintain emergency contact records about DOT personnel
(including employees, detailees and contractor personnel), other than
those covered by OPM/GOVT-1. Examples of such systems include, but are
not limited to, the following:
     DOT offices that administer emergency-related programs
(such as emergency response, building evacuation, continuity of
operations) maintain emergency contact records about emergency,
mission-critical emergency, and other personnel as required for those
programs.
     Supervisors and administrative assistants in offices
throughout DOT maintain emergency contact records about personnel in
their work units for general office administrative purposes.
     Some DOT components maintain automated systems to
communicate mass notifications to all of their employees, including
those who are not involved in emergency and mission-critical programs.

II. The Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) governs the means by which the
United States Government collects, maintains, and uses personally
identifiable information (PII) in a system of records. A ``system of
records'' is a group of any records under the control of a Federal
agency from which information about individuals is retrieved by name or
other personal identifier.
    The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal
Register a system of records notice (SORN) identifying and describing
each system of records the agency maintains, including the purposes for
which the agency uses PII in the system, the routine uses for which the
agency discloses such information outside the agency, and how
individuals to whom a Privacy Act record pertains can exercise their
rights under the Privacy Act (e.g., to determine if the system contains
information about them).
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), a report on the establishment
of this system of records has been sent to Congress and to the Office
of Management and Budget.
System Number: DOT/ALL 22

SYSTEM NAME:
    Emergency Contact Records (ECR)--Not Covered by Notices of Other
Agencies.

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
    Unclassified, sensitive.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    These records are maintained at all Department of Transportation
(DOT) Headquarters offices and field locations, for all DOT components.
Locations are available from http://www.dot.gov.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM OF RECORDS:
    Record subjects are current and former DOT employees, detailees and
contractor personnel.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    The system includes emergency contact records not covered by OPM/
GOVT-1, including but not limited to records that particular DOT
offices create for emergency-related programs (such as emergency
response, building evacuation and continuity of operations); that DOT
supervisors and administrative assistants create for their general
office administrative purposes; and that DOT components use to provide
mass notifications to employees. The records contain personal contact
information for employees, detailees and contractor

personnel and for their designated contacts (e.g., relatives, friends),
and may include the following personally-identifiable information (PII)
about them:
     Personal cell phone number, home telephone number, home
fax number, home address, home e-mail address;
     Information about the personnel member's skills, position,
and assignment to or membership on an emergency response team (such as
a continuity of operations cadre or a field incident response team), to
facilitate their deployment in an emergency;
     Work location information, which may include zip code or
geophysical information system data to facilitate mapping of locations
where the personnel member is working;
     Special needs information such as medical conditions or
mobility requirements (such information is not routinely collected but
may be included if a personnel member provides it voluntarily); and
     The personnel member's relationship to any third-party
contacts he or she designates.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    The National Security Act of 1947, as amended; the Homeland
Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296), dated November 25, 2002;

specialists, security, safety and emergency response coordinators,
members of emergency response teams and other work units, and
supervisors and administrative assistants, on a need to know basis, for
the reasons such as the following:
     To identify and locate emergency personnel to work during
emergencies, office dismissal or closure situations;
     To identify and locate mission-critical emergency
personnel to participate in continuity of operations exercises and to
provide continuity of operations during national security, natural
disaster, pandemic flu and similar situations;
     To account for and maintain communication with personnel
during an office closure, building evacuation, natural disaster,
pandemic flu or other office emergency (e.g., to make telework or leave
arrangements), or to contact them about an urgent work matter (e.g.,
during off-duty hours);
     To notify designated third-party contact(s) to help locate
a personnel member who is absent without leave, or to assist a
personnel member in an evacuation or if he or she is injured, ill or
incapacitated at work; and
     To deliver an identical automated message to all of the
component's or office's personnel, alerting them to conditions such as
power outages, road closings and extreme weather.
    Any special needs, medical condition or similar information
contained in the records is maintained and used in accordance with
relevant provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29
U.S.C. 791, et seq., and implementing regulations at 29 CFR parts 1614
and 1630, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The EPA approved North Dakota's UIC program as meeting the
requirements for primary enforcement responsibility (primacy) for Class
I, III, IV, and V injection wells, under section 1422 of the Safe
Drinking Water Act, on September 21, 1984. The State is revising its
UIC Class I, III, IV, and V program statutes and regulations to
transfer this authority from the North Dakota Department of Health to
the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality.

II. Legal Authorities

    These regulations are being promulgated under authority of sections
1422 and 1450 of the SDWA, 42 U.S.C. 300h-1 and 300j-9.

A. Revision of State UIC Programs

    As required by section 1421 of the SDWA, the EPA promulgated
minimum requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR
part 145, for effective State UIC programs, to prevent underground
injection activities that endanger underground sources of drinking
water (USDWs). Under section 1422 of the SDWA, once the EPA approves a
State UIC program, the State has primary enforcement responsibility for
underground water sources. A State may revise its UIC program as
provided under 40 CFR 145.32(a) and by following the procedures
described under 40 CFR 145.32(b), which require the State to submit a
modified program description, an Attorney General's statement, a
Memorandum of Agreement, or other such documentation as the EPA
determines to be necessary under the circumstances (40 CFR
145.32(b)(1)). States with approved programs are required to notify the
EPA whenever they propose to transfer all or part of the approved State
agency to any other State agency and to identify any new division of
responsibilities amongst the agencies involved. Organizational charts
required in the State's original primacy approval package must be
revised and resubmitted. The new agency is not authorized to administer
the program until approval by the Administrator (40 CFR 145.32(c)).
    All revisions to the UIC program would be federally enforceable as
of the effective date of the EPA's approval of the respective revision
and 40 CFR part 147 codification. The State plans to rely on the date
when the EPA signs the final notice for purposes of notifying the State
legislature that the EPA has approved these revisions, which will
provide for the transfer authority from the North Dakota Department of
Health to the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ)
to be effective under State law. Thus, prior to the effective date of
this approval, the State intends to take the necessary additional steps
as specified in S.L. 2017, ch. 199, Section 1, to ensure that the NDDEQ
rules would become federally enforceable on the effective date of the
EPA's approval and codification of the approved program in 40 CFR part
147.
    Consistent with the EPA Guidance 16, the EPA considers State-
initiated program revisions to transfer all or part of any program from
the approved authority to another State agency as substantial program
revisions. Under the EPA regulations, this means there is an
opportunity for public comment and to request a public hearing (40 CFR
145.32(b)(2)).

B. Indian Country

    The EPA's approval of North Dakota's application to transfer its
SDWA UIC Class I, III, IV, and V primary enforcement authority from the
North Dakota Department of Health to the North Dakota Department of
Environmental Quality does not extend to Indian lands. Pursuant to the
EPA's UIC regulations at 40 CFR 144.3, Indian lands ``means `Indian
country' as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151.'' As defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151,
Indian country generally includes lands within the exterior boundaries
of the following Indian reservations located within North Dakota: The
Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, The Spirit Lake Reservation, The
Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, and The Turtle Mountain Reservation;
any land held in trust by the United States for an Indian tribe; and
any other areas that are Indian country within the meaning of 18 U.S.C.
1151. The EPA, or eligible Indian tribes, as appropriate, will retain
responsibilities under the SDWA UIC program for Class I, III, IV, and V
injection wells in Indian country.

III. North Dakota's Application

A. Notice of Completion

    On September 18, 2018, the EPA received a complete program revision
package from the State of North Dakota, requesting approval of its
revised UIC regulations for Class I, III, IV, and V injection wells, to
transfer primary enforcement authority from the North Dakota Department
of Health to the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality. The
EPA has determined the application contains all the required elements;
the application and supplemental materials are available electronically
at https://www.regulations.gov; and a copy of the application can be
accessed for inspection and copying at: The EPA Region VIII, 1595
Wynkoop Street, Denver, Colorado 80202-1129, by contacting Omar Sierra-
Lopez at: Telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
email address: [email protected]. Public comments are
requested, and a public hearing will be held if requests are received
within 30 days of publication (see ADDRESSES for further information on
how to request a public hearing).
    The UIC program revision package from the State of North Dakota
includes revised versions of: (1) The description of the State's UIC
program (40 CFR 145.23); (2) copies of all applicable State statutes,
regulations, and forms (40 CFR 145.22(a)(5)); (3) the Attorney
General's statement that the State has adequate legal authority to
carry out the program described and to meet the requirements of 40 CFR
part 145; and (4) the Memorandum of Agreement between the State of
North Dakota and the EPA's Region VIII Administrator (40 CFR 145.25).

B. Public Participation Activities Conducted by the State of North
Dakota

    On April 12, 2018, the North Dakota Department of Environmental
Quality provided public notice of its intent to amend and adopt North
Dakota's 1422 Underground Injection Control Rules. The public notice
was published in 52 North Dakota newspapers. Written comments on the
proposed rule changes were accepted between April 12, 2018 and May 31,
2018; no comments were received. A public hearing regarding the UIC
rules was held on March 21, 2018; the hearing was unattended.

C. Public Participation Activities Conducted by the EPA

    On December 4, 2018, a public notice announcing this proposed
approval, request for public comment, and notice of a public hearing to
be held on January 8, 2019, was published in the Bismarck Tribune and
posted to the EPA Region VIII's website at: https://www.epa.gov/uic/underground-injection-control-epa-region-8-co-mt-nd-sd-ut-and-wy.
Confirmation or cancellation of the public hearing will be announced on
January 3, 2019 and on the EPA Region VIII's website at: https://
www.epa.gov/uic/underground-injection-control-epa-

region-8-co-mt-nd-sd-ut-and-wy. For information regarding the public
hearing, including a request to hold a hearing, please contact Omar-
Sierra Lopez, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, Mail
Code: 8WP-SUI, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, Colorado 80202-1129, or
[email protected].

IV. The EPA's Proposed Action

A. What is the EPA proposing?

    In this action, the EPA is proposing to approve the State of North
Dakota's application to transfer its Class I, III, IV, and V primary
enforcement authority from the North Dakota Department of Health to the
North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality and to make conforming
changes to its regulations to reflect such transfer. Regulations under
40 CFR part 147 set forth the applicable UIC programs for each of the
States. This rule would update 40 CFR part 147 subpart JJ to reflect
the transfer of authority.
    Support of this proposed approval is part of the public record in
the EPA's Docket No. EPA-HQ-OW-2018-0669. When finalized, this action
will amend 40 CFR part 147 Subpart JJ to incorporate by reference the
revised EPA-approved State statutes and regulations. The EPA will
continue to administer its UIC program for Class I, III, IV, and V
injection wells in Indian country.
    The EPA will continue to oversee the State of North Dakota's
administration of UIC Class I, III, IV, V and VI programs as authorized
under the SDWA. Part of the EPA's oversight responsibility will require
State quarterly reports of non-compliance and annual UIC performance
reports pursuant to 40 CFR 144.8. The Memorandum of Agreement between
the EPA and the State of North Dakota, signed by the Regional
Administrator on September 18, 2018, provides the EPA with the
opportunity to review and comment on all draft permits.

B. What codification decisions is the EPA proposing in this rule?

    In this rule, the EPA is proposing to finalize the federal
regulatory text that incorporates by reference the federally authorized
North Dakota UIC program for Class I, III, IV, and V injection wells,
except those in Indian country. In accordance with the requirements of
1 CFR 51.5, we are proposing to finalize the incorporation by reference
of the North Dakota rules described in the amendments to 40 CFR part
147 set forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, Library 2nd Floor,
1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, Colorado 80202-1129.
    The EPA will revise the binder at 40 CFR 147.1751 that contains the
EPA-approved North Dakota Statutes and Regulations for Well Classes I,
III, IV, V, and VI. This binder will be incorporated by reference into
40 CFR 147.1751. The EPA will also revise the table listing the EPA-
approved North Dakota Statutes and Regulations for Well Classes I, III,
IV, V, and VI in 40 CFR 147.1751. Section 147.1751 also references the
Memorandum of Agreement, the statement of legal authority (the Attorney
General's Statement), and the Program Description, which are approved
as part of the UIC program authorized under the SDWA.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.

B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs

    This action is not expected to be an Executive Order 13771
regulatory action because this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the PRA. OMB has previously approved the information collection
activities contained in the existing regulations and has assigned OMB
control number 2040-0042. Reporting or record-keeping requirements will
be based on the State of North Dakota UIC Regulations, and the State of
North Dakota is not subject to the PRA.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no
net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This rule does not impose any
requirements on small entities as this rule approves the State of North
Dakota's UIC program revisions. We have therefore concluded that this
action will have no net regulatory burden for all directly regulated
small entities.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state,
local or tribal governments or the private sector. The EPA's approval
of the State of North Dakota's program revisions will not constitute a
federal mandate because there is no requirement that a State establish
UIC regulatory programs and because the program is a State, rather than
a federal program.

F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects 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.

G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This action contains no federal mandates for
tribal governments and does not impose any enforceable duties on tribal
governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health & Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it approves the State of North Dakota's
UIC program revisions.

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    The EPA has determined that this action is not subject to Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) because it does not
establish an environmental health or safety standard. This action will
simply provide that the State of North Dakota is transferring its
primary enforcement authority for its Class I, III, IV, and V wells,
pursuant to which the State of North Dakota will be implementing and
enforcing a State UIC regulatory program that is as stringent as the
existing federal program.

Airworthiness Directives; Agusta S.p.A. Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are publishing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model A109A and A109AII helicopters, which was
sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of these
helicopters. This AD requires checking and inspecting each main rotor
blade (blade) for a crack and replacing any cracked blade before
further flight. This AD is prompted by abnormal vibrations leading to a
precautionary landing and a post-flight inspection finding of a crack
in a blade. These actions are intended to detect a crack in a blade and
prevent failure of a blade and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective February 16, 2016 to all persons except
those persons to whom it was made immediately effective by Emergency AD
2015-22-51 issued on October 23, 2015, which contains the requirements
of this AD.
    We must receive comments on this AD by March 17, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments prior to it becoming effective. However, we
invite you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written
comments, data, or views. We also invite comments relating to the
economic, environmental, energy, or federalism impacts that resulted
from adopting this AD. The most helpful comments reference a specific
portion of the AD, explain the reason for any recommended change, and
include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not contain
duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of written
comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should
submit them only one time. We will file in the docket all comments that
we receive, as well as a report summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerning this rulemaking during the
comment period. We will consider all the comments we receive and may
conduct additional rulemaking based on those comments.

Discussion

    On October 23, 2015, we issued Emergency AD 2015-22-51 to correct
an unsafe condition for Agusta Model A109A and A109AII helicopters with
certain part-numbered blades installed. Emergency AD 2015-22-51
requires inspecting each blade for a crack before further flight and
then once each day, checking each blade for a crack before each flight,
and replacing any cracked blade. The manufacturer's maintenance program
specifies inspecting each blade every 25 hours time-in-service (TIS).
The actions in Emergency AD 2015-22-51 were prompted by abnormal
vibrations leading to a precautionary landing and a post-flight
inspection finding of a crack in a blade. The crack extended from the
trailing edge to the rear face of the spar at the joint between the
spar and the body of the blade. This condition, if not detected, could
result in failure of a blade and subsequent loss of control of a
helicopter.
    Emergency AD 2015-22-51 was prompted by AD No. 2015-0190-E, dated
September 18, 2015, issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for
the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition
for Agusta Model A109A and A109A II helicopters. EASA advises that
abnormal vibrations were reported during a flight on a Model A109A II
helicopter. During a post-flight inspection, a crack was found on a
part number (P/N) 109-0103-01-9 blade. EASA AD 2015-0190-E requires
pre-flight inspections and repetitive

inspections of each blade. EASA advises that due to similarity of
design, the inspections also apply to P/N 109-0103-01-7 and P/N 109-
0103-01-115 blades. EASA advises that a cracked blade, if not detected
and corrected, could affect the structural integrity of the blade,
possibly resulting in blade failure and loss of control of the
helicopter.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Italy and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Italy, 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

    We reviewed AgustaWestland Mandatory Alert Bollettino Tecnico No.
109-150, dated September 17, 2015 (ABT). The ABT specifies for blades
with more than 500 flight hours, before the next flight and then before
each flight, visually inspecting each affected blade for a crack in the
area between the station at the end of the doublers and the station at
the beginning of the abrasion strip (both top and bottom surfaces for a
crack. The ABT also specifies inspecting the blades for a crack at
every airworthiness check and, in case of doubt about a crack, dye
penetrant inspecting each blade. If a crack is found, the ABT specifies
replacing the blade with a serviceable one.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires for each blade P/N 109-0103-01-7, P/N 109-0103-01-
9, or P/N 109-0103-01-115 that has 500 or more hours TIS:
     Before further flight and thereafter at intervals not
exceeding 24 clock-hours, using a 3X or higher power magnifying glass,
visually inspecting the top and bottom surface of each blade for a
crack in the area between the station at the end of the doublers and
the station at the beginning of the abrasion strip. If there is a
crack, before further flight, replacing the blade with an airworthy
blade.
     Before each flight, checking the top and bottom surface of
each blade for a crack in the area between the station at the end of
the doublers and the station at the beginning of the abrasion strip.
This check may be performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at
least a private pilot certificate and must be entered into the aircraft
records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9
(a)(1) through (a)(4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be
maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439. This
check is an exception to our standard maintenance regulations. If there
is a crack, the blade must be inspected using a 3X or higher power
magnifying glass.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    This AD does not require a change to the Rotorcraft Flight Manual
nor does it require a dye-penetrant inspection, whereas the EASA AD
does. This AD requires the blade inspection before further flight,
whereas the EASA AD allows an initial check prior to the inspection.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action. If final action is later
identified, we might consider further rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 33 helicopters of U.S. registry.
We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order to
comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour. We
estimate 1 work-hour to inspect a blade at a cost of $85 per helicopter
and $2,805 for the fleet. We estimate 4 work-hours to replace a blade
at a cost of $340 per helicopter, and the required parts will cost
$30,000 for a total of $30,340 per helicopter.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    Providing an opportunity for public comments prior to adopting
these AD requirements would delay implementing the safety actions
needed to correct this known unsafe condition. Therefore, we found and
continue to find that the risk to the flying public justifies waiving
notice and comment prior to the adoption of this rule because the
previously described unsafe condition can adversely affect the
controllability of the helicopter and the required actions must be
accomplished before each flight and daily.
    Since it was found that immediate corrective action was required,
notice and opportunity for prior public comment before issuing this AD
were impracticable and contrary to public interest and good cause
existed to make the AD effective immediately by issuing Emergency AD
2015-22-51 on October 23, 2015, to all known U.S. owners and operators
of these helicopters. These conditions still exist and the AD is hereby
published in the Federal Register as an amendment to section 39.13 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.13) to make it effective to
all persons.

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 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 to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

2069 Directorate Identifier 2015-SW-070-AD.

(a) Applicability

    This AD applies to Model A109A and A109AII helicopters with a
main rotor blade (blade) part number (P/N) 109-0103-01-7, P/N 109-
0103-01-9, or P/N 109-0103-01-115 that has 500 or more hours time-
in-service installed, certificated in any category.

(b) Unsafe Condition

    This AD defines the unsafe condition as a crack in a blade. This
condition, if not detected, could result in failure of a blade and
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

(c) Effective Date

    This AD becomes effective February 16, 2016 to all persons
except those persons to whom it was made immediately effective by
Emergency AD 2015-22-51, issued on October 23, 2015, which contains
the requirements of this AD.

(d) Compliance

    You are responsible for performing each action required by this
AD within the specified compliance time unless it has already been
accomplished prior to that time.

(e) Required Actions

    (1) Before further flight, and thereafter at intervals not to
exceed 24 clock-hours, using a 3X or higher power magnifying glass,
visually inspect the top and bottom surface of each blade for a
crack in the area between the station at the end of the doublers and
the station at the beginning of the abrasion strip. If there is a
crack, before further flight, replace the blade with an airworthy
blade.
    (2) Before each flight, check the top and bottom surface of each
blade for a crack in the area between the station at the end of the
doublers and the station at the beginning of the abrasion strip. If
there is a crack, inspect the blade in accordance with paragraph
(e)(1) of this AD. The check required by this paragraph may be
performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a private
pilot certificate and must be entered into the aircraft records
showing compliance with this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9
(a)(1) through (a)(4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be
maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439.

(f) Special Flight Permits

    A special flight permit may be permitted for the inspection in
paragraph (e)(1) of this AD provided there is no crack in a blade.

(g) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Safety Management Group, FAA, may approve AMOCs
for this AD. Send your proposal to: Matt Fuller, Senior Aviation
Safety Engineer, Safety Management Group, Rotorcraft Directorate,
FAA, 10101 Hillwood Pkwy., Fort Worth, TX 76177; telephone (817)
222-5110; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) For operations conducted under a 14 CFR part 119 operating
certificate or under 14 CFR part 91, subpart K, we suggest that you
notify your principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector,
the manager of the local flight standards district office or
certificate holding district office, before operating any aircraft
complying with this AD through an AMOC.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC
20549.

Extension:
    Rule 17a-25, SEC File No. 270-482, OMB Control No. 3235-0540.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget request for extension of the previously approved collection
of information discussed below.
    Rule 17a-25 (17 CFR 240.17a-25) requires registered broker-dealers
to electronically submit securities transaction information, including
identifiers for prime brokerage arrangements, average price accounts,
and depository institutions, in a standardized format when requested by
the Commission staff. In addition, the rule also requires broker-
dealers to submit, and keep current, contact person information for
electronic blue

sheets (``EBS'') requests. The Commission uses the information for
enforcement inquiries or investigations and trading reconstructions, as
well as for inspections and examinations.
    The Commission estimates that it sends approximately 27,000
electronic blue sheet requests per year. Accordingly, the annual
aggregate hour burden for electronic and manual response firms is
estimated to be 3,564 hours and 405 hours, respectively. In addition,
the Commission estimates that it will request 1,400 broker-dealers to
supply the contact information identified in Rule 17a-25(c) and
estimates the total aggregate burden hours to be 350. Thus, the annual
aggregate burden for all respondents to the collection of information
requirements of Rule 17a-25 is estimated at 4,319 hours.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    General comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be
directed to the Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission
at the address below. Any comments concerning the accuracy of the
estimated average burden hours for compliance with Commission rules and
forms should be directed to (i) the Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an e-mail to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief

Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312 or send
an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted to OMB
within 30 days of this notice.
