Expendable Launch Vehicle at Wallops Flight Facility (SEA)

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

ACTIONS:  Notice of availability of the FONSI.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 United States Code 4321 et seq.), Council on
Environmental Quality NEPA implementing regulations (40 Code of Federal
Regulations parts 1500 to 1508), and FAA Order 1050.1E, Change 1,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, the FAA is announcing
the availability of the FAA's FONSI for the SEA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Douglas W. Graham, Office of
Commercial Space Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, 800
Independence Ave. SW., Suite 325, Washington, DC 20591; email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SEA was prepared by NASA to analyze the
potential environmental impacts of the FAA modifying Orbital ATK's
Launch Operator License to include launches of the modified Antares 200
medium lift launch vehicle from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in
Virginia. NASA issued a FONSI on August 29, 2015. Based on its
independent review and consideration of the SEA, the FAA concurs with
the analysis of impacts and findings in the SEA and formally adopts the
SEA in its entirety. After reviewing and analyzing available data and
information on existing conditions and potential impacts, including the
SEA, the FAA has determined that its Proposed Action of modifying
Orbital ATK's launch license to conduct 200 Configuration Antares
launch operations at MARS Pad 0-A would not significantly affect the
quality of the human environment within the meaning of NEPA. Therefore,
the preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required,
and the FAA is issuing this FONSI. The FAA made this determination in
accordance with applicable environmental laws and FAA regulations.
    The FAA has posted the FONSI on the FAA Office of Commercial Space
Transportation Web site: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ast/environmental/nepa_docs/review/operator/.
    A copy of the SEA may be found at: http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/code250/Antares_FSEA.html.

Airworthiness Directives; Slingsby Aviation Ltd. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2015-11-01 for
Slingsby Aviation Ltd. Models T67M260 and T67M260-T3A airplanes. This
AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information

(MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify
and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI
describes the unsafe condition as failure of a brake master cylinder
pivot pin, which could cause the rudder pedal mechanism to detach from
the brake cylinder. We are issuing this AD to require actions to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective June 29, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of June 29,
2017.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Slingsby Aviation Ltd.
Models T67M260 and T67M260-T3A airplanes. That NPRM was published in
the Federal Register on February 7, 2017 (82 FR 9537), and proposed to
supersede AD 2015-11-01, Amendment 39-18164 (80 FR 30136, May 27, 2015)
(``AD 2015-11-01'').
    Since we issued AD 2015-11-01, new service information was issued
to revise the inspection instructions and to add a new initial
inspection period after replacement of the brake master cylinder pivot
pins.
    The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products and was based on mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country. The MCAI states that:

    An occurrence was reported where pivot pin Part Number (P/N)
T67M-45-539, of rudder pedal assembly #4, installed on the right
hand (RH) side of the aeroplane (RH seat, RH pedal) failed during
taxi. This caused the rudder pedal mechanism to detach from the
brake master cylinder.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could cause the
rudder linkages to rotate out of their normal orientation, possibly
resulting in jammed rudder controls and consequent loss of control
of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Slingsby Advanced
Composites Ltd, trading as Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group
(hereafter called ``Marshall'' in this [EASA] AD) issued Service
Bulletin (SB) SBM 200 to provide inspection instructions.
    Consequently, EASA issued Emergency AD 2015-0065-E to require
repetitive inspections of the brake cylinder pivot pins of rudder
pedal assemblies #1 and #4 and, depending on findings, replacement
of the affected pivot pin(s).
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, Marshall published SBM 200
Revision 2 to revise the inspection instructions and to introduce a
new initial inspection period after replacement of brake master
cylinder pivot pins on an aeroplane.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2015-065-E, which is superseded, but
requires the use of the revised inspection instructions. This [EASA]
AD also allows deferring the next due inspection after replacement
of the pins.

    The MCAI can be found in the AD docket on the Internet at: https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=FAA-2017-0048-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information

    Slingsby Aviation Ltd. trading as Marshall Aerospace and Defence
Group has issued Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group Service Bulletin
SBM 200, Revision 2, dated December 2015. The service bulletin
describes procedures for inspection of the brake master cylinder pivot
pin. 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 will affect 3 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take about 6 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $50 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the AD on U.S.
operators to be $1,680, or $560 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about .5 work-hour and require parts costing $100, for a cost of
$142.50 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
products that may need these actions.

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 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),
    (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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About the Document

    Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the EPA Administrator
to identify certain pollutants that ``cause or contribute to air
pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health
or welfare'' and to issue air quality criteria for them. These air
quality criteria are to ``accurately reflect the latest scientific
knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable
effects on public health or welfare which may be expected from the
presence of such pollutant in the ambient air * * *.'' Under section
109 of the Act, EPA is to establish national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria.
Section 109(d) of the Act requires periodic review and, if appropriate,
revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect advances in
scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on public health
or welfare. EPA is also to revise the NAAQS, if appropriate, based on
the revised air quality criteria.
    Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of six ``criteria'' pollutants for
which EPA has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA reviews the
scientific basis for these standards by preparing an Integrated Science
Assessment (ISA) (formerly called an Air Quality Criteria Document).
The ISA and supplementary annexes, in conjunction with additional
technical and policy assessments, provide the scientific basis for EPA
decisions on the adequacy of the current NAAQS and the appropriateness
of possible alternative standards. The Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee whose
review and advisory functions are mandated by Section 109(d)(2) of the
Clean Air Act, is charged (among other things) with independent
scientific review of EPA's air quality criteria.
    On September 13, 2007 (72 FR 52369), EPA formally initiated its
current review of the air quality criteria for CO, requesting the
submission of recent scientific information on specified topics. A
workshop was held on January 28-29, 2008 (73 FR 2490) to discuss
policy-relevant science to inform EPA's planning for the CO NAAQS
review. Following the workshop, a draft of EPA's ``Plan for Review of
the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Carbon Monoxide'' (EPA-
452/D-08-001) was made available in March 2008 for public comment and
was discussed by the CASAC via a publicly accessible teleconference
consultation on April 8, 2008 (73 FR 12998). EPA finalized the plan and
made it available in August 2008 (EPA/452/R-08/005; http://www.epa.gov/
ttn/naaqs/standards/co/s_co_cr_pd.html). In November 2008, EPA held
an authors' teleconference to discuss, with invited scientific experts,
preliminary draft materials prepared during the ongoing development of
the CO ISA and its supplementary annexes.
    The First External Review Draft ISA for CO (EPA/600/R-09/019;
http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/recordisplay.cfm?deid=203935) was
released on March 12, 2009 (74 FR 10734). This document was reviewed by
the CASAC review panel and discussed at a public meeting held May 12-
13, 2009 (74 FR 15265). The CASAC held a follow-up public
teleconference on June 17, 2009 (74 FR 25530) to review and approve the
CASAC CO Review Panel's draft letter providing comments to EPA on the
First External Review Draft ISA for CO. Following the teleconference,
CASAC sent a final letter report to EPA on June 24, 2009 (http://
yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/4620a620d0120f93852572410080d786/
6E648129288BF930852575DF0070A528/$File/EPA-CASAC-09-011-unsigned.pdf).
    After the end of the comment period on the Second External Review
Draft ISA for CO, the CASAC review panel will review the draft at a
public meeting. Timely public comments received will be provided to the
CASAC review panel. A future Federal Register notice will inform the
public of the exact date and time of that meeting.

Airworthiness Directives; PILATUS Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
PILATUS Aircraft Ltd. Model PC-7 airplanes. This AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the
aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as chafing on the wiring harness attached to the engine
mounting frame on the right-hand side of the engine compartment, which
could cause a short circuit and could result in a fire in the engine
compartment. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 29, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of November 29,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA), which is the aviation
authority for Switzerland, has issued AD HB-2013-009, dated October 7,
2013 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted due to a report of
chafing of the wiring harness attached to the engine mounting frame
on the RH side of the engine compartment. Due to the limited space
available in this area the wiring harness can chafe against the RH
flexible duct for the condenser.
    Such a condition, if left uncorrected, could lead to a short
circuit which could cause a fire in the engine compartment.
    In order to correct and control the situation, this AD requires
a one-time inspection of the wiring harness and flexible duct of the
condenser for chafing. If major damage is found, the damaged parts
must be replaced. If minor damage is found, this AD requires the
installation of a protective sleeve on the wiring harness.

You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating it in Docket No. FAA-2013-0928.

Relevant Service Information

    PILATUS Aircraft Ltd. has issued PILATUS PC-7 Service Bulletin No.
24-009, dated September 6, 2013. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and
determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same type design.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because
chafing of the wiring harness in the engine compartment could cause a
short circuit and could result in a fire in the engine compartment.
Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment
before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for
making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2013-0928; Directorate
Identifier 2013-CE-036-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 10 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $850, or $85 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that necessary follow-on actions will take
about 5 work-hours to install a protective sleeve on the wiring
harness, if minor damage is found, and require parts costing
approximately $100, for a cost of $525 per product. We also estimate
that it will take about 12 work-hours to replace damaged parts, if
major damage is found, and require parts costing approximately $500,
for a cost of $1,520 per product. We have no way of determining the
number of products that may need these actions.

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 the 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.

Background

    The FAA is posting this notice to inform the public of the intent
to designate as abandoned Aviation Composite Technologies, Inc., STC
No. SH4537SW, for the installation of a radome in Bell Model 206A,
206B, 206L, and 206L-1 helicopters, and subsequently release the
related engineering data.
    The FAA has received a third-party request for the release of the
aforementioned engineering data under the provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. The FAA cannot release commercial
or financial information under FOIA without the permission of the data
owner. However, in accordance with title 49 of the United States Code
section 44704(a)(5), the FAA can make STC ``engineering data'' in
possession of the FAA available upon request if the FAA determines that
the STC has been inactive for three years or more and, using due
diligence, the FAA is unable to locate the owner of record or the owner
of record's heir, and the availability of such data will enhance
aviation safety. There has been no activity on this STC for more than
three years.
    On December 15, 2022, the FAA sent a registered letter to Mr.
Stephen B. Squires, President of Aviation Composites Technologies,
Inc., at its last known address, 601-2 Hawwood Road, Suite 132,
Bedford, TX 76021. The letter informed Aviation Composite Technologies,
Inc., that the FAA had received a request for engineering data related
to STC No. SH4537SW and was conducting a due diligence search to
determine whether the STC was inactive and may be considered abandoned.
The letter further requested Aviation Composite Technologies, Inc., to
respond in writing within 60 days and state whether it is the holder of
the STC. The FAA also attempted to make contact with Aviation
Composites Technologies, Inc., by other means, including telephone
communication, without success.

Information Requested

    If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of STC No. SH4537SW or
have any knowledge regarding who may now hold STC No. SH4537SW please
contact Trong Pham using a method described in this notice under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If you are the heir of the owner, or the
owner by transfer, of STC No. SH4537SW, you must provide a notarized
copy of your government-issued identification with a letter and
background establishing your ownership of the STC and, if applicable,
your relationship as the heir to the deceased holder of the STC.

Conclusion

    If the FAA does not receive any response by January 9, 2024, the
FAA will consider STC No. SH4537SW abandoned, and the FAA will proceed

with the release of the requested data. This action is for the purpose
of maintaining the airworthiness of an aircraft and enhancing aviation
safety.
