33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0970]
RIN 1625-AA11

Regulated Navigation Area; Thea Foss and Wheeler-Osgood Waterways
EPA Superfund Cleanup Site, Commencement Bay, Tacoma, WA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; withdrawal of two previous
notices of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to amend the Thea Foss and Wheeler-
Osgood Regulated Navigation Area (RNA) for Commencement Bay to include
portions of the Middle Waterway in Tacoma, Washington. This proposed
amendment would protect sediment cap areas in the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's Commencement Bay Nearshore-Tideflats Superfund
Cleanup Site within the Middle Waterway Problem Area that are not
geographically encompassed by the existing Thea Foss and Wheeler-Osgood
RNA. The modified RNA would prohibit certain activities that could
disrupt the integrity of the engineered sediment caps that have been
placed within the Middle Waterway Problem Area. We invite your comments
on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before April 5, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0970 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Petty Officer Zachary Spence, Sector
Puget Sound Waterways Management Branch, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Middle Waterway is part of the Commencement Bay Nearshore-
Tideflats Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Cleanup Site, and
is located between the Thea Foss Waterway and the St. Paul Waterway in
Commencement Bay, Washington. The Coast Guard has engaged in
preliminary discussions with the Middle Waterway Action Committee to
establish a RNA for certain portions of the Middle

Waterway of Commencement Bay, Tacoma, WA, to protect five engineered
sediment caps from activities that could disrupt the integrity of the
caps within the CB-NT Superfund Cleanup Site. While the Thea Foss and
Wheeler-Osgood Waterways EPA Superfund Cleanup Site, 33 CFR 165.1329,
protects certain sites outside the Middle Waterway, sediment caps
within the Middle Waterway are not currently protected.
    Under the Ports and Waterways Safety Act, the Coast Guard has the
authority to establish RNAs in defined water areas that are determined
to have hazardous conditions and in which vessel traffic can be
regulated in the interest of safety. See 33 U.S.C. 1231 and Department
of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1. Coast Guard District
Commanders are granted authority under 33 CFR 165.11 to regulate vessel
traffic in areas with hazardous conditions.
    This proposed rule is necessary to prevent disturbance of the
sediment caps established in the Middle Waterway Problem Area of the
Superfund Cleanup Site that are not geographically encompassed by the
Thea Foss and Wheeler-Osgood Waterways RNA. Disruption of the integrity
of the caps in this area may result in a hazardous condition and harm
to the marine environment and the public. Therefore, this proposed RNA
expansion is necessary to protect the integrity of the caps and will do
so by prohibiting maritime activities that could disturb or damage
them. Enforcement of this amended RNA would be managed by Coast Guard
assets including Vessel Traffic Service Puget Sound through vessel
Automated Identification System monitoring. The Captain of the Port
Puget Sound might also be assisted by other state, local, or government
agencies in the enforcement of this proposed rule.
    In 2006 and 2015, the Coast Guard issued NPRMs related to this
issue. As reflected in their identical titles, ``Regulated Navigation
Area; Middle Waterway EPA Superfund Cleanup Site, Commencement Bay,
Tacoma, WA,'' both were focused on the Middle Waterway site. No
comments were submitted in response to either NPRM (71 FR 12654, March
13, 2006, and 80 FR 42440, July 17, 2015) nor did we publish any other
documents in either of those rulemakings. We are withdrawing those
NPRMs because we have decided to start with this new NPRM to address
this issue by expanding the Thea Foss and Wheeler-Osgood Waterways EPA
Superfund Cleanup Site, Commencement Bay, Tacoma, WA RNA, which was
established in 2010, to encompass the Middle Waterway sediment caps.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to amend an existing RNA, the Thea Foss
and Wheeler-Osgood Waterways EPA Superfund Cleanup Site, 33 CFR
165.1329, to include the Middle Waterway. Within this designated area,
vessels would be prohibited from conducting certain activities,
including anchoring, trawling, spudding, or other activities that
involve disturbing the integrity of the sediment caps. Activities that
involve remediation efforts of the CB-NT Superfund Cleanup Site would
not be prohibited. In addition, we propose to amend the title of the
section to include the Middle Waterway. The amended portion of this RNA
encompasses approximately 0.074 additional square miles of the
waterway. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of
this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the small
geographic area encompassed by the RNA, and the limited amount of
commercial and recreational traffic passing through the area.
Additionally, prohibited activities are not routine in the designated
area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
regulated navigation area may be small entities, for the reasons stated
in section IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant
economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    In preparation for this rulemaking, we identified the area
encompassed by the proposed rule overlaps with the usual and accustomed
fishing grounds for the Puyallup and Muckleshoot tribes. We

informed both tribes of the proposed rulemaking, but only received a
response from the Muckleshoot tribe. We conducted a meeting with the
Muckleshoot tribe's Fish Commission on September 12, 2018. During this
meeting, the Muckleshoot Fish Commission and the Coast Guard discussed
potential impacts of the proposed rulemaking on the Muckleshoot tribe.
Following the meeting, the Coast Guard concluded that this proposed
rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175,
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, as it
would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian
tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
    If you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism
or Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a preliminary
determination that this action is one of a category of actions that do
not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This proposed rule involves amending a regulated
navigation area that would prohibit activities that could disturb the
engineered sediment caps on the seabed. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.
    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be
submitted using http://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate
instructions.
    We accept anonymous comments. All comments received will be posted
without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and the
docket, visit http://www.regulations.gov/privacyNotice.

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-02-10 for
all Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes; Model A330-200
and -300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200 and -300 series
airplanes. AD 2013-02-10 required an inspection of the rods to
determine the manufacturer; and for affected parts, an inspection for
any cracking of the rods, and related investigative and corrective
actions if necessary. This AD revises the affected airplanes of a
certain paragraph of AD 2013-02-10 due to the discovery of an error. We
are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the rods, which
could result in rupture of rods that attach the belly fairing to the
airframe, leading to separation of the belly fairing from the airframe,
and consequent damage to airplane structure and airplane systems.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On January 16, 2013, we issued AD 2013-02-10, Amendment 39-17331
(78 FR 7257, February 1, 2013), which applied to all Airbus Model A330-
200 Freighter series airplanes; Model A330-200 and -300 series
airplanes; and Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes. AD 2013-02-10
was prompted by a report of a manufacturing defect in certain rods
installed in the belly fairing, which could lead to cracks at the
crimped end of the rod. AD 2013-02-10 required an inspection of the
rods to determine the manufacturer; and for

affected parts, an inspection for any cracking of the rods, and related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We issued AD 2013-
02-10 to detect and correct cracking of the rods, which could result in
rupture of rods that attach the belly fairing to the airframe, leading
to separation of the belly fairing from the airframe, and consequent
damage to airplane structure and airplane systems.
    Since we issued AD 2013-02-10, Amendment 39-17331 (78 FR 7257,
February 1, 2013), we have discovered an inadvertent error in the
identification of the affected airplane models in the inspection
requirements of AD 2013-02-10. Paragraph (g) of AD 2013-02-10 referred
to Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, and -313 airplanes, but did
not limit the affected airplanes to certain manufacturer serial
numbers.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2012-0005, dated January 10, 2012 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter series
airplanes; Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200
and -300 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    A rod manufacturing process defect has been identified at the
supplier, Technical Airborne Components Industries (TAC), which
could lead to cracks at the crimped end of the rod.
    A design review of all affected rods has demonstrated that
rupture of rods which attach the belly fairing can lead to
separation of the belly fairing from the airframe, which would
constitute an unsafe condition.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires detailed
visual inspections of the 21 affected rods installed in the belly
fairing for manufacturer identification, and if TAC is identified as
manufacturer, or if the manufacturer cannot be identified, to
further inspect the rods to find any crack, using a high frequency
eddy current (HFEC) method and, depending on findings,
accomplishment of the applicable corrective actions, to ensure
structural integrity of the belly fairing rods. This AD also
prohibits installation of an affected TAC rod as replacement part in
the belly fairing to all aeroplanes.

    You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
3981.

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 the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these
same type designs.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Service Bulletins A330-53-3186 and A340-53-4185,
both Revision 01, both dated April 7, 2011. The service information
describes procedures for an inspection of the rods to determine the
manufacturer; and for affected parts, an inspection for any cracking of
the rods, and related investigative and corrective actions if
necessary. 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 of this
AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    We are superseding AD 2013-02-10, Amendment 39-17331 (78 FR 7257,
February 1, 2013), to correct an error in the identification of the
affected airplane models in the inspection requirements of paragraph
(g) of AD 2013-02-10. We have made no other changes to the requirements
published in AD 2013-02-10. Also, we have determined that this change
is relieving to certain operators of the Airbus Model A340-211, -212, -
213, -311, -312, and -313 airplanes and imposes no additional burden on
any operator. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for
public comment before issuing this AD are unnecessary.

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-2015-3981; Directorate
Identifier 2015-NM-126-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 affects 54 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions required by AD 2013-02-10, Amendment 39-17331 (78 FR
7257, February 1, 2013), and retained in this AD take about 13 work-
hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based
on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that were required
by AD 2013-02-10 is $59,670, or $1,105 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 28 work-hours and require parts costing $0, for a cost of
$2,380 per product. Where the service information lists required parts
costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will
be no charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage
for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than
estimated here. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft
that might 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

    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 removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2013-02-10, Amendment 39-17331 (78 FR 7257, February 1, 2013), and
adding the following new AD:

2015-20-02 Airbus: Amendment 39-18280. Docket No. FAA-2015-3981;
Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-126-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD becomes effective October 16, 2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2013-02-10, Amendment 39-17331 (78 FR 7257,
February 1, 2013).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1)
and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category.
    (1) Airbus Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -223F, -243, -243F,
-301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes.

Revision 01, dated April 7, 2011 (for Model A340 airplanes); for rod
manufacturer identification. A review of airplane maintenance
records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the manufacturer
of the rods can be conclusively determined from that review.
    (2) If the rod manufacturer is found to be Technical Airborne
Components Industries (TAC), or if the manufacturer cannot be
identified, do a high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection for
cracking of the crimped end of the rod body and, if any crack is
found, before further flight, do all applicable related
investigative and corrective actions.

(h) Retained Parts Installation Limitations With No Changes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD
2013-02-10, Amendment 39-17331 (78 FR 7257, February 1, 2013), with
no changes. As of March 8, 2013 (the effective date of AD 2013-02-
10), no person may install any affected TAC rod, as identified in
Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3186, Revision 01, dated April 7,
2011; or A340-53-4185, Revision 01, dated April 7, 2011; as
applicable; on any airplane unless the rod has passed (found to have
no cracking) the inspection as required by paragraph (g)(2) of this
AD.

(i) Retained Credit for Previous Actions With No Changes

    This paragraph restates the credit provided by paragraph (i) of
AD 2013-02-10, Amendment 39-17331 (78 FR 7257, February 1, 2013),
with no changes. This paragraph provides credit for the inspections

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0841; Airspace Docket No. 10-ACE-11]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Johnson, KS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Johnson, KS, to
accommodate new Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAP) at Stanton County Municipal Airport, Johnson, KS.
Minor adjustments to geographic coordinates would also be made. The FAA
is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of
Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, March 10, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 21, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for Johnson,
KS, creating additional controlled airspace at Stanton County Municipal
Airport (75 FR 64968) Docket No. FAA-2010-0841. 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
7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface

to accommodate SIAPs at Stanton County Municipal Airport, Johnson, KS.
This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport. Adjustments to the geographic coordinates
for the airport would also be made in accordance with the FAA's
National Aeronautical Navigation Services.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends controlled airspace at Stanton County Municipal Airport,
Johnson, KS.

Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that
published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to all BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. As published, the Product
Identification line of the regulatory text contains an error. This
document corrects that error. In all other respects, the original
document remains the same.

DATES: This correction is effective March 22, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of February 7,
2017 (82 FR 7, January 3, 2017).

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The address for the
Docket Office (phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>) is Docket Management Facility, U.S.
Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-25-25,
Amendment 39-18751 (82 FR 7, January 3, 2017) (``AD 2016-25-25''),
currently requires repetitive detailed inspections for cracks,
corrosion, and other defects of the rear face of the wing rear spar,
and repair if necessary, for all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model
4101 airplanes.
    As published, the Product Identification line of the regulatory
text contains an error. The Product Identification line incorrectly
identifies Bombardier as the product manufacturer, but should have
identified BAE Systems (Operations) Limited. All other references to
the product manufacturer appear correctly as BAE Systems (Operations)
Limited throughout the preamble and regulatory text of AD 2016-25-25.
    No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been
changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the final rule is being
published in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains February 7, 2017.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Correction

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (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  [Corrected]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-17079 (77 FR
36127, June 18, 2012), and adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2016-25-25 BAE Systems (Operations) Limited: Amendment 39-18751;
Docket No. FAA-2016-0457; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-084-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective February 7, 2017.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2012-11-15, Amendment 39-17079 (77 FR 36127,
June 18, 2012) (``AD 2012-11-15'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model 4101
airplanes, certificated in any category, all models and all serial
numbers.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57, Wings.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by new reports of cracking found in the
wing rear spar and technical analysis results, which confirmed that
the crack initiation and propagation are due to fatigue, with no
indication of any other crack initiation mechanism (e.g., stress
corrosion). We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking in
the wing rear spar, which could propagate to a critical length,
possibly affecting the structural integrity of the area and
resulting in a fuel tank rupture, with consequent damage to the
airplane and possible injury to its occupants.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Repetitive Inspections and Repair

    Within 30 days after February 7, 2017 (the effective date of
this AD), or within 1,600 flight cycles since the most recent
detailed inspection was done as specified in BAE Systems Alert
Service Bulletin J41-A57-029, whichever occurs later: Do a detailed
inspection for cracks, corrosion, and other defects (defects include
scratches, dents, holes, damage to fastener holes, or damage to
surface protection and finish) of the rear face of the wing rear
spars, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of BAE
Systems Alert Service Bulletin J41-A57-029, Revision 3, dated April
8, 2014. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed
1,600 flight cycles.
    (1) If any cracking, corrosion, or other defect is found within
the criteria defined in Chapter 57, Wings, of the Jetstream Series
4100 Structural Repair Manual (SRM), Volume 1, Publication Ref. No.
(Transmittal No.) SA 4-4100/SRM/400, Revision 32, dated October 15,
2014 (``Chapter 57 of the SRM''): Before further flight, repair the
affected area, in accordance with the repair instructions of Chapter
57 of the SRM.

    (2) If any cracking, corrosion, or other defect is found
exceeding the criteria defined in Chapter 57 of the SRM: Before
further flight, repair using a method approved by the Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA;
or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); or BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA).

(h) Repair Does Not Constitute Terminating Action Except for Certain
Repairs

    Accomplishment of a repair, as required by paragraphs (g)(1) and
(g)(2) of this AD, does not constitute terminating action for the
repetitive inspections required by paragraph (g) of this AD, unless
the approved repair required by paragraph (g)(2) of this AD states
otherwise (e.g., the approved repair states the repair terminates
the inspections for the repaired area only).

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR
39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight

    Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal
inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the
local flight standards district office/certificate holding district
office. The AMOC approval letter must specifically reference this
AD.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: As of February 7, 2017 (the
effective date of this AD), for any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer, the action must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International
Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the EASA;
or BAE Systems (Operations) Limited's EASA DOA. If approved by the
DOA, the approval must include the DOA-authorized signature.
