14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0024; Product Identifier 2000-NE-12-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A.,
Turboshaft Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2013-11-
09 that applies to all Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A., Arrius 2B1 and
2F turboshaft engines. Depending on the engine model, AD 2013-11-09
requires the repetitive replacement of the fuel injector manifolds and
privilege injector, or only the privilege injector. Since we issued AD
2013-11-09, we received reports of engine flameouts as a result of
reduced fuel flow due to the presence of coking. This proposed AD would
retain the repetitive hardware replacement requirements of AD 2013-11-
09, but only allow replacement pipe injector preferred assembly, part
number (P/N) 0 319 73 044 0, on the Arrius 2F engines. We are proposing
this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 10,
2017.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    On May 23, 2013, we issued AD 2013-11-09, Amendment 39-17469 (78 FR
32551, May 31, 2013), ``AD 2013-11-09'' for all Turbomeca S.A. Arrius
2B, 2B1, and 2F turboshaft engines. Depending on the engine model, AD
2013-11-09 requires the repetitive replacement of the fuel injector
manifolds and privilege injector, or only the privilege injector. AD
2013-11-09 resulted from a report that the corrective actions of AD
2001-08-14, R1, Amendment 39-14423 (71 FR 2993, January 19, 2006) were
insufficient to eliminate the unsafe condition. We issued AD 2013-11-09
to prevent an engine flameout of Arrius 2B1 and 2F turboshaft engines
and damage to the helicopter.

Actions Since AD 2013-11-09 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2013-11-09, we received reports of engine
flameouts as a result of reduced fuel flow due to the presence of
coking. Also since we issued AD 2013-11-09, the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) has issued AD 2017-0070, dated April 25, 2017,
which requires replacement of pipe injector preferred assemblies, P/N 0
319 73 835 0, with improved assembly, P/N 0 319 73 044 0, on Arrius 2F
engines.

Related Service Information

    We reviewed Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A., Service Bulletin (SB)
No. 319 73 4839, Version A, dated December 13, 2016. The SB describes
procedures for replacing pipe injector preferred assemblies.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require, for Arrius 2B1 turboshaft engines,
initial and repetitive replacement of the main fuel injector half-
manifolds and preferred injector with a part eligible for installation
within the compliance times specified. This proposed AD would also
require, for Arrius 2F turboshaft engines, initial and repetitive
replacement of the preferred injector and replacing pipe injector
preferred assemblies, P/N 0 319 73 835 0, with assembly, P/N 0 319 73
044 0.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 50 Arrius 2B1 and 105
Arrius 2F turboshaft engines installed on helicopters of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

Arrius 2B1 fuel injector manifolds and  3 work-hours x $85 per                $0            $255         $12,750
 injector replacement.                   hour = $255.
Arrius 2F pipe injector preferred       3 work-hours x $85 per             3,154           3,409         357,945
 assembly replacement.                   hour = $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed
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),
    (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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

[Docket No. CP09-43-000]

Heavenly Valley, L.P.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Powderbowl Pipeline Project
and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

January 28, 2009.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the potential environmental impacts of a pipeline project
proposed by Heavenly Valley, L.P. (Heavenly Valley). The Powderbowl
Pipeline Project involves the construction of a 1.86-mile-long, 4-inch-
diameter natural gas pipeline in Douglas County, Nevada and El Dorado
County, California. The EA will be used by the Commission in its
decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the
public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help determine which issues
need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period
will close on February 27, 2009. Details on how to submit comments are
provided in the ``Public Participation'' section of this notice.
    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
Native American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. State and local government representatives are asked to
notify their constituents of this proposed project and to encourage
them to comment on their areas of concern. We anticipate that the U.S.
Forest Service (USFS) will participate as a cooperating agency in the
preparation of the EA.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' addresses a number
of typically-asked questions and how to participate in the Commission's
proceedings. It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site
(http://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Heavenly Valley proposes to construct 1.86 miles of 4-inch-diameter
natural gas pipeline to service the future Powderbowl Lodge (planned
for construction in 2009). The pipeline would begin at an existing
Southwest Gas Corporation meter station in Douglas County, Nevada and
terminate approximately 1.86 miles southwest at the Powderbowl Lodge
site in El Dorado County, California. The pipeline would parallel an
existing access road and utility corridor. Existing access roads would
be used for pipeline construction. The project is located entirely
within the Heavenly Mountain Ski Resort, on land owned by the USFS and
leased to Heavenly Valley under a 40 year Ski Area Special Use Permit
issued in 1997. Construction of the project would temporarily impact
approximately 7.9 acres. Upon completion of the project, 2.3 acres
would be maintained as permanent easement.
    In addition, Heavenly Valley seeks approval to continue operation
of a 4,500-foot-long, 2- and 3-inch diameter pipeline installed in 2000
by the previous resort owner to provide natural gas to resort
facilities\1\. This existing

pipeline, referred to as the Gondala/Mid-Station Pipeline, is also
located entirely within the Heavenly Valley property. No ground
disturbance or new environmental impacts would occur from continued
operation of this pipeline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Heavenly Valley stated that the prior resort owners believed
the pipeline could be constructed as a ``house'' line or ``plant''
line not subject to FERC jurisdiction. Heavenly Valley was alerted
to the fact that the existing pipeline may be subject to FERC
jurisdiction when it initiated discussions with Southwest Gas to
obtain increased service for the Powderbowl Pipeline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A map showing the general location of the proposed project is
included as appendix 1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendix referenced in this notice is not being printed
in the Federal Register. Copies of the appendix are available on the
Commission's Web site at the ``eLibrary'' link or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions
on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the ``Additional Information''
section of this notice. Copies of the appendix were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail. Requests for detailed maps
of the proposed facilities should be made directly to Heavenly
Valley.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals.
This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent (NOI), the Commission
staff requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in
the EA. All comments received will be considered during the preparation
of the EA.
    In the EA, we\3\ will discuss impacts that could occur as a result
of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the FERC's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Geology and soils;
     land use;
     cultural resources;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     air quality and noise;
     endangered and threatened species;
     public safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending
on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be
published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies; public
interest groups; interested individuals; affected landowners;
newspapers; libraries; and the Commission's official service list for
this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for the review if
the EA is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we
make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments are
considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the public
participation section below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Statutory Background

    Under section 513 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360c), FDA must classify devices into one of three
regulatory classes: Class I, class II, or class III. FDA classification
of a device is determined by the amount of regulation necessary to
provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. Under the
Medical Device Amendments of 1976 (1976 amendments) (Public Law 94-
295), as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (Public Law
101-629), devices are to be classified into class I (general controls)
if there is information showing that the general controls of the FD&C
Act are sufficient to assure safety and effectiveness; into class II
(special controls) if general controls, by themselves, are insufficient
to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, but there
is sufficient information to establish special controls to provide such
assurance; and into class III (premarket approval) if there is
insufficient information to support classifying a device into class I
or class II and the device is a life sustaining or life supporting
device, or is for a use which is of substantial importance in
preventing impairment of human health or presents a potential
unreasonable risk of illness or injury.
    Most generic types of devices that were on the market before the
date of the 1976 amendments (May 28, 1976) (generally referred to as
preamendments devices) have been classified by FDA under the procedures
set forth in section 513(c) and (d) of the FD&C Act through the
issuance of classification regulations into one of these three
regulatory classes. Devices introduced into interstate commerce for the
first time on or after May 28, 1976 (generally referred to as
postamendments devices), are classified through the premarket
notification process under section 510(k) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
360(k). Section 510(k) of the FD&C Act and the implementing
regulations, 21 CFR part 807, require persons who intend to market a
new device to submit a premarket notification (510(k)) containing
information that allows FDA to determine whether the new device is
``substantially equivalent'' within the meaning of section 513(i) of
the FD&C Act to a legally marketed device that does not require
premarket approval.
    On November 21, 1997, the President signed into law FDAMA (Public
Law 105-115). Section 206 of FDAMA, in part, added a new section,
510(m), to the FD&C Act. Section 510(m)(1) of the FD&C Act requires
FDA, within 60 days after enactment of FDAMA, to publish in the Federal
Register a list of each type of class II device that does not require a
report under section 510(k) of the FD&C Act to provide reasonable
assurance of safety and effectiveness. Section 510(m) of the FD&C Act
further provides that a 510(k) will no longer be required for these
devices upon the date of publication of the list in the Federal
Register. FDA published that list in the Federal Register of January
21, 1998 (63 FR 3142).
    Section 510(m)(2) of the FD&C Act provides that 1 day after date of
publication of the list under section 510(m)(1), FDA may exempt a
device on its own initiative or upon petition of an interested person
if FDA determines that a 510(k) is not necessary to provide reasonable
assurance of the safety and

effectiveness of the device. This section requires FDA to publish in
the Federal Register a notice of intent to exempt a device, or of the
petition, and to provide a 30-day comment period. Within 120 days of
publication of this document, FDA must publish in the Federal Register
its final determination regarding the exemption of the device that was
the subject of the notice. If FDA fails to respond to a petition under
this section within 180 days of receiving it, the petition shall be
deemed granted.

II. Criteria for Exemption

    There are a number of factors FDA may consider to determine whether
a 510(k) is necessary to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and
effectiveness of a class II device. These factors are discussed in the
guidance the Agency issued on February 19, 1998, entitled ``Procedures
for Class II Device Exemptions from Premarket Notification, Guidance
for Industry and CDRH Staff.'' That guidance is available through the
Internet at http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/UCM080199.pdf. Send an
email request to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to receive an electronic copy of
the document or send a fax request to<PHONE_NUMBER> to receive a hard
copy. Please use the document number 159 to identify the guidance you
are requesting.

III. Proposed Class II Device Exemptions

    FDA has received the following petition requesting an exemption
from premarket notification for a class II device: Dave Smith, on
behalf of Adaptive Engineering, Inc., for its wheelchair elevator
device (commonly known as a manually operated portable wheelchair
lift), classified under 21 CFR 890.3930.

IV. Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to
send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number
found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments
may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4
p.m., Monday through Friday.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0430; Directorate Identifier 2007-SW-42-AD;
Amendment 39-15694; AD 2008-21-10]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model AS332 C, L, L1
and L2 Helicopters

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
specified Eurocopter France (ECF) model helicopters. This AD results
from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated
by the aviation authority of France to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The aviation authority of France,
with which we have a bilateral agreement, states in the MCAI: ``This
Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued following two cases of LH
hydraulic power system loss on two AS332 helicopters. In both cases,
the pilot received the ``low level'' hydraulic failure alarm. The
investigations conducted on the two helicopters revealed a hydraulic
fluid leak from the hydraulic pump casing. In both cases, incorrect
position of the liner of the compensating piston had caused the seals
to deteriorate. This incorrect positioning of the liner is due to non-
compliant application of the repair process by a repair station.
Deterioration of hydraulic pumps causes:
     The loss of the RH and LH hydraulic power systems in the
event of a substantial hydraulic fluid leak from both hydraulic pumps
during a given flight.
     The loss of the hydraulic system concerned, in the event
of a substantial hydraulic fluid leak from only one pump.''
    This AD requires actions that are intended to address this unsafe
condition.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on December 5, 2008.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications is approved
by the Director of the Federal Register as of December 5, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
regulations.gov or in person at the Docket Operations office, U.S.
Department of Transportation, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room
W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC between 9 a.m. and
5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
    You may get the service information identified in this AD from
American Eurocopter Corporation, 2701 Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX
75053-4005, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>, or at http://
www.eurocopter.com.
    Examining the AD Docket: The AD docket contains the Notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM), the economic evaluation, any comments
received, and other information. The street address and operating hours
for the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) are in the
ADDRESSES section of this AD. Comments will be available in the AD
docket shortly after they are received.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Uday Garadi, Aviation Safety Engineer,
FAA, Rotorcraft Directorate, Regulations and Guidance Group, Fort
Worth, Texas 76193-0110, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that
would apply to the specified Eurocopter model helicopters on April 3,
2008. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2008
(73 FR 21553). That NPRM proposed to replace

certain unairworthy hydraulic pumps with airworthy pumps. You may
obtain further information by examining the MCAI and any related
service information in the AD docket.

Comments

    By publishing the NPRM, we gave the public an opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. However, we received no comment on
the NPRM or on our determination of the cost to the public. Therefore,
based on our review and evaluation of the available data, we have
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD as proposed.

Relevant Service Information

    Eurocopter France has issued Emergency Alert Service Bulletin No.
01.00.73, dated August 23, 2007 (ASB). The actions described in the
MCAI are intended to correct the same unsafe condition as that
identified in the ASB.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

     We do not require the operator to return the hydraulic
pump to the manufacturer nor any action on non-installed hydraulic
pumps.
     We changed ``flying hours'' to ``hours time-in-service.''
    In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively
from the information provided in the MCAI. These differences are
highlighted in the ``Differences Between the FAA and the MCAI'' section
in the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 4 helicopters of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 2.5 work-hours per
helicopter to inspect and replace one hydraulic pump. The average labor
rate is $80 per work-hour. Each pump will cost about $26,000 and
require two hydraulic pumps per helicopter. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of the AD on U.S. operators will be $209,600 to
replace all the hydraulic pumps on the U.S. fleet.

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 product(s) 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.
    Therefore, I certify this AD:
    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 and placed it in the AD docket.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2008-21-10 Eurocopter France: Amendment 39-15694; Docket No. FAA-
2008-0430; Directorate Identifier 2007-SW-42-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective on
December 5, 2008.

Other Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Models AS332C, L, L1, and L2 helicopters,
with a hydraulic pump made by Messier-Bugatti, part number C24160-X,
C24160-XXX, C241600XX, C241600XX-X, and C241600XX-XXX, with a serial
number without the suffix letter ``V'', listed in paragraph 1.A.1.,
of Eurocopter France Emergency Alert Service Bulletin 01.00.73,
dated August 23, 2007 (ASB) installed, certificated in any category.

    Note: The letter ``V'' is a suffix marked after the serial
number on the pump's identification plate to signify that the pump
has been determined to conform to the approved design data.

Reason

    (d) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states: ``This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued following two
cases of LH hydraulic power system loss on two AS332 helicopters. In
both cases, the pilot received the `low level' hydraulic failure
alarm. The investigations conducted on the two helicopters revealed
a hydraulic fluid leak from the hydraulic pump casing. In both
cases, incorrect position of the liner of the compensating piston
had caused the seals to deteriorate. This incorrect positioning of
the liner is due to non-compliant application of the repair process
by a repair station. Deterioration of hydraulic pumps causes:
     The loss of the RH and LH hydraulic power systems in
the event of a substantial hydraulic fluid leak from both hydraulic
pumps during a given flight.
     The loss of the hydraulic system concerned, in the
event of a substantial hydraulic fluid leak from only one pump.''
    This AD requires actions that are intended to address this
unsafe condition.

Actions and Compliance

    (e) Unless already done, do the following actions:
    (1) Within 15 hours time-in-service (TIS), determine the part
number and serial number of the installed hydraulic pumps. If the
serial number of both the hydraulic pumps are listed in paragraph
1.A.1. of the ASB, before further flight, replace at least one of
the pumps with an airworthy pump with a serial number other than one
listed in paragraph 1.A.1 of the ASB or one with a serial number
containing the letter ``V''. Replace the pump by following the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 2. B. of the ASB, except this
AD does not require you to return the hydraulic pump to the
manufacturer.
    (2) Within the next 12 months, replace all remaining hydraulic
pumps having a serial number listed in paragraph 1.A.1 of the ASB by
following the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 2.B. of the
ASB, except this AD does not require you to return the hydraulic
pump to the manufacturer.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    (f) We do not require the operator to return the hydraulic pump
to the manufacturer nor do we require any action on non-installed
hydraulic pumps. Also, we changed ``flying hours'' to ``hours time-
in-service.''

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 25

[Docket No. FAA-2015-1495; Special Conditions No. 25-641-SC]

Special Conditions: Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVII-
G500 Airplanes; Electronic Flight-Control-System Mode Annunciation

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final special conditions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for the Gulfstream
Aerospace Corporation (Gulfstream) Model GVII-G500 airplane. This
airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to
the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for
transport-category airplanes. This design feature is electronic flight-
control-system (EFCS) mode annunciation. The applicable airworthiness
regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for
this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional
safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to
establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the
existing airworthiness standards.

DATES: This action is effective on Gulfstream on December 2, 2016. We
must receive your comments by January 17, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Send comments identified by docket number FAA-2015-1495
using any of the following methods:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joe Jacobsen, FAA, Airplane and
Flightcrew Interface Branch, ANM-111, Transport Airplane Directorate,
Aircraft Certification Service, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; facsimile<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA has determined that the substance of
these special conditions has been subject to the public comment process
in several prior instances with no substantive comments received. The
FAA therefore finds that good cause exists for making these special
conditions effective upon publication in the Federal Register.

Comments Invited

    We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive by the closing date for
comments. We may change these special conditions based on the comments
we receive.

Background

    On March 29, 2012, Gulfstream applied for a type certificate for
their new Model GVII-G500 airplane. The Model GVII-G500 airplane will
be a business jet capable of accommodating up to 19 passengers. It will
incorporate a low, swept-wing design with winglets and a T-tail. The
powerplant will consist of two aft-fuselage-mounted Pratt & Whitney
turbofan engines.

Type Certification Basis

    Under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 21.17,
Gulfstream must show that the Model GVII-G500 airplane meets the
applicable provisions of 14 CFR part 25, as amended by Amendments 25-1
through 25-129.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., part 25) do not contain adequate or appropriate
safety standards for the Model GVII-G500 airplane because of a novel or
unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed under the
provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar
novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also
apply to the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, Model GVII-G500 airplanes must comply with the fuel-vent
and exhaust-emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34, and the noise-
certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36. The FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under section 611 of Public Law 92-574,
the ``Noise Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Model GVII-G500 airplane will incorporate the following novel
or unusual design feature:
    Electronic flight-control-system mode annunciation.

Discussion

    These special conditions for flight-control-system mode
annunciation, applicable to the Gulfstream Model GVII-G500 airplane,
require that suitable mode annunciation be provided to the flightcrew
for events that significantly change the operating mode of the system
but do not merit the classic ``failure warning.''
    These special conditions contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of
safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness
standards.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Gulfstream Model GVII-G500 airplane. Should Gulfstream apply at a later
date for a change to the type certificate to include another model
incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature, these special
conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only a certain novel or unusual design feature
on one model series of airplane. It is not a rule of general
applicability.
    The substance of these special conditions has been subjected to the
notice and comment period in several prior instances and has been
derived without substantive change from those previously issued. It is
unlikely that prior public comment would result in a significant change
from the substance contained herein. Therefore, the FAA has determined
that prior public notice and comment is unnecessary, and good cause
exists for adopting these special conditions upon publication in the
Federal Register.
    The FAA is requesting comments to allow interested persons to
submit views that may not have been submitted in response to the prior
opportunities for comment described above.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Special Conditions

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of
the type certification basis for Gulfstream Model GVII-G500 airplanes:
    If the design of the flight-control system has multiple modes of
operation, a means must be provided to indicate to the flightcrew any
mode that significantly changes or degrades the normal handling or
operational characteristics of the airplane.

    Title: NESHAP for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1679.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0289.
    ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on July 31, 2011. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to

valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in both 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and
displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain-EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Marine Tank Vessel Loading Operations were
proposed on May 13, 1994, promulgated on September 19, 1995, and a
proposed amendment on October 21, 2010 was promulgated on April 21,
2011.
    These regulations apply maximum achievable control technology
(MACT) standards to existing facilities and new facilities that load
marine tank vessels with petroleum or gasoline and have aggregate
actual Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) emissions of 10 tons or more of
HAP, or 25 tons or more of all HAP combined. In addition, these
regulations apply reasonably available control technology (RACT)
standards to facilities with an annual throughput of 10 million or more
barrels of gasoline or 200 million or more barrels of crude oil. This
ICR also covers owners or operators of existing marine tank vessel
loading operations (MTVLO) that emit less than 10 tons per year of each
individual HAP, and less than 25 tons/year of all HAP combined, located
at major sources of HAP that loads more than 1 million barrels/yr of
gasoline, as well as owners or operators of existing off-shore
terminals that load gasoline.
    Owners or operators of marine tank vessel loading facilities
subject to the rule must maintain a file of these measurements, and
retain the file for at least five years following the date of such
measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to
the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no
such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office. This information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart Y and 40 CFR part 63, subpart
A, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
required information consists of emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.

    In order to ensure compliance with these standards, adequate
reporting and recordkeeping are necessary. In the absence of such
information, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether
the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the
Clean Air Act.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 12
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining, information, and disclosing and providing information. All
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Marine tank vessel loading
operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 804.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, annually, and
semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,872.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $926,209, which includes $926,209 in
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and no operation and maintenance
(O&M) costs.
    There is no increase in the number of affected facilities or the
number of responses as compared to the previous ICR. There is, however,
an increase in the estimated burden cost as currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in burden cost is due to
the use of a more recent labor rates.

Michigan: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final authorization.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting Michigan
final authorization for changes to its hazardous waste program under
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Agency published
a proposed rule on December 13, 2021 and provided for public comment.
One comment was submitted by the State of Michigan in which the State
identified a rule that was part of their application for authorization
that was not addressed in the proposed authorization. EPA acknowledges
this oversight and will address this rule in a future action.

DATES: This final authorization is effective June 15, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. What changes to Michigan's hazardous waste program is EPA
authorizing with this action?

    On March 15, 2021, Michigan submitted a complete program revision
application seeking authorization of changes to its hazardous waste
program in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. EPA now makes a final
decision that Michigan's hazardous waste program revisions that are
being authorized are equivalent to, consistent with, and no less
stringent than the Federal program, and therefore satisfy all of the
requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. For a list
of State rules being authorized with this Final Authorization, please
see the Proposed Rule published in the December 13, 2021, Federal
Register at Michigan: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Program Revisions (86 FR 70790, December 13, 2021).

B. What is codification and is EPA codifying the Michigan's hazardous
waste program as authorized in this rule?

    Codification is the process of placing citations and references to
the State's

statutes and regulations that comprise the State's authorized hazardous
waste program into the Code of Federal Regulations. EPA does this by
adding those citations and references to the authorized State rules in
40 CFR part 272. EPA is not codifying the authorization of Michigan's
revisions at this time. However, EPA reserves the ability to amend 40
CFR part 272, subpart X for the authorization of Michigan's program
changes at a later date.

C. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final authorization revises Michigan's authorized hazardous
waste management program pursuant to Section 3006 of RCRA and imposes
no requirements other than those currently imposed by State law. For
further information on how this authorization complies with applicable
executive orders and statutory provisions, please see the Proposed Rule
published in the December 13, 2021, Federal Register at Michigan:
Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Program Revisions (86
FR 70790, December 13, 2021). 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 document 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 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). This final action is effective June 15, 2022.

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 271

    Environmental protection, Administrative practice and procedure,
Confidential business information, Hazardous waste, Hazardous waste
transportation, Indian lands, Intergovernmental relations, Penalties,
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Authority: This action is issued under the authority of sections
2002(a), 3006, and 7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, and 6974(b).
