Airworthiness Directives; Beechcraft Corporation (Type
Certificate Previously Held by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation; Raytheon
Aircraft Company) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Beechcraft Corporation (Type Certificate Previously Held by Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation; Raytheon Aircraft Company) Model Hawker 800XP,
850XP, and 900XP airplanes. This AD was prompted by a design review
that revealed there were no instructions to apply sealant to structural
components in the fuel tank during the winglet installation process.
This AD requires an inspection for the presence of sealant on doubler
plate edges, doubler plate rivets, and adjacent skin in the fuel vent
surge tanks; and corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this
AD to detect and correct missing sealant, which, during a lightning
strike, could result in a potential source of ignition in a fuel tank
and consequent explosion or

fire and subsequent in-flight breakup of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective September 5, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of September 5,
2014.

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 certain Beechcraft
Corporation (Type Certificate Previously Held by Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation; Raytheon Aircraft Company) Model Hawker 800XP, 850XP, and
900XP airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April
24, 2014 (79 FR 22783). The NPRM was prompted by a design review that
revealed there were no instructions to apply sealant to structural
components in the fuel tank during the winglet installation process.
The sealant is part of the lightning protection design for the fuel
tanks. The NPRM proposed to require an inspection for the presence of
sealant on doubler plate edges, doubler plate rivets, and adjacent skin
in the fuel vent surge tanks; and corrective actions if necessary. We
are issuing this AD to detect and correct missing sealant, which,
during a lightning strike, could result in a potential source of
ignition in a fuel tank and consequent explosion or fire and subsequent
in-flight breakup of the airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (79 FR 22783, April 24,
2014) 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 this 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 (79 FR 22783, April 24, 2014) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 22783, April 24, 2014).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 50 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
              Action                     Labor cost            Parts cost           product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection........................  2 work-hours x $85    None................            $170           $8,500
                                     per hour = $170.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs that
would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have no
way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these
repairs:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per
                    Action                                Labor cost               Parts cost        product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sealant application..........................  36 work-hours x $85 per hour =              $32           $3,092
                                                $3,060.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, all of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

visual examination of an interior or exterior area, installation, or
assembly to detect obvious damage, failure, or irregularity. This
level of inspection is made from within touching distance unless
otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to ensure visual
access to all surfaces in the inspection area. This level of
inspection is made under normally available lighting conditions such
as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or droplight and may
require removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands,
ladders, or platforms may be required to gain proximity to the area
being checked.

(i) Exception to the Service Information

33 CFR Part 100

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0662]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Marine City Water Ski Show, St. Clair
River, Marine City, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a special local regulation for
certain navigable waters of the St. Clair River, Marine City, MI. This
action is necessary and is intended to ensure safety of life on
navigable waters immediately prior to, during, and immediately after
the Marine City Water Ski Show.

DATES: This temporary final rule is effective from 1 p.m. though 5 p.m.
on August 4, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Sec.  Section
COTP Captain of the Port
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable. The
Coast Guard just recently received the final details of this water ski
show, which does not provide sufficient time to publish an NPRM prior
to the event. Thus, delaying the effective date of this rule to wait
for a comment period to run would be contrary to public interest
because it would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to protect
participants, mariners and vessels from the hazards associated with
this event. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we lack
sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment period and then
consider those comments before issuing this rule.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to protect
participants, mariners and vessels from the hazards associated with
this event.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1233. The Captain of the Port Detroit (COTP) has determined that the
likely combination of recreation vessels, commercial vessels, and an
unknown number of spectators in close proximity to a water ski show
along the water pose extra and unusual hazards to public safety and
property. Therefore, the COTP is establishing a special local
regulation around the event location to help minimize risks to safety
of life and property during this event.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a special local regulation from 1 p.m. though
5 p.m. on August 4, 2018. The special local regulation will encompass
all U.S. navigable waters of the St. Clair River, Marine City, MI,
bound by: 200 feet seaward of latitude position 42[deg]43.382' N and
200 feet seaward of latitude position 42[deg]42.983' N (NAD 83). The
special local regulation will be enforced from 1 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. and
from 4 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. on August 4, 2018. No vessel or person will be
permitted to enter the special local regulation without obtaining
permission from the COTP or his designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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 rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule 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 size,
location, duration, and time-of-year of the special local regulation.
Vessel traffic will be able to safely transit around this special local
regulation zone which will impact a small designated area of the St.
Clair River from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. on August 4, 2018. Moreover, the
Coast Guard will issue Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine
channel 16 about the special local regulation and the rule allows
vessels to seek permission to enter the 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 rule
will not have a

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
special local regulation may be small entities, for the reasons stated
in section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    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 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.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will 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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on

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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this 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 determined 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 rule involves
a special local regulation lasting less than four hours that will
prohibit entry into a designated area. It is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph L[61] of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

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.
