    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), for which
Construction, Re-construction, or Modification Commenced after May 14,
2007 (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja) apply to the following affected
facilities in petroleum refineries: Fluid catalytic cracking units
(FCCU), fluid coking units (FCU), delayed coking units, fuel gas
combustion devices (FGCD), process heaters, flares and sulfur recovery
plants. Except for flares, these regulations apply to affected
facilities at existing and new petroleum refineries that are
constructed, reconstructed, or modified after May 14, 2007. The
provisions of this subpart apply to flares which commence construction,
modification or reconstruction after June 24, 2008. New facilities
include those that commenced construction, modification or
reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja.
    In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum refineries constructed,
reconstructed, or modified after May 14, 2007.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart Ja).
    Estimated number of respondents: 150 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 355,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $143,000,000 (per year), which includes
$102,000,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The adjustment increase in burden from
the most recently-approved ICR is due to an increase in the estimates
for the number of existing facilities located at petroleum refineries
that become subject to the requirements of Subpart Ja because they are
newly constructed, reconstructed or modified. The previous ICR renewal
estimated that approximately 54 facilities with 2 CEMS each would
become affected facilities subject to the rule each year. In this
renewal ICR, that estimate has been increased to 100 facilities with 3
CEMS/CPMS each. The increase in burden is

due to an increase in the estimates for the number of new,
reconstructed, or modified facilities that are required to conduct
initial performance tests on the equipment and the emissions and
parameter monitors (CEMS and CPMS). For each startup and test of new,
modified, or reconstructed equipment, there are numerous notifications
and reports that must be submitted and reviewed. The adjustment
increase in burden also reflects an increase in the number of CEMS and
CPMS monitors on existing affected facilities that require routine
performance audits (Relative Accuracy Audits or Cylinder Gas Audits)
and relative accuracy testing; these costs were not included in the
prior ICR.
    The increase in burden also reflects an increase in the estimates
for the costs of new equipment and the required CEMS/CPMS monitors. The
previous ICR renewal did not include the capital/startup costs for new,
modified, or reconstructed equipment/process lines. This ICR estimates
that, out of 100 facilities per year that become subject to the rule
due to construction, modification, or reconstruction, 50 of these
affected facilities per year will incur significant capital/startup
costs.
    The increase in capital and O&M costs from the most recently
approved ICR also reflects an increase in the estimates for the number
of existing facilities located at petroleum refineries that are already
subject to the requirements of Subpart Ja. The O&M costs for the CEMS
and CPMS monitors on these existing facilities (280 flares and 600
other process units) were not accounted for in the prior ICR and are
significant. The estimates of O&M costs for CEMS monitors have also
been increased from approximately $15,000 per year to $25,000 per year
based on comments provided by industry.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The information collected is used by employers and workers whenever
welding, cutting and brazing are performed. The purpose of the
information is to ensure that employers evaluate hazards associated
with welding and ensure that adequate measures are taken to make the
process safe.

    Section 1910.255(e) requires that a periodic inspection of
resistance welding equipment be made by qualified maintenance
personnel, and that a certification record be generated and maintained.
The certification shall include the date of the inspection, the
signature of the person who performed the inspection and the serial
number, or other identifier, for the equipment inspected. The record
shall be made available to an OSHA inspector upon request. The
maintenance inspection ensures that welding equipment is in safe
operating condition while the maintenance record provides evidence to
workers and Agency compliance officers that employers performed the
required inspections.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    The Agency requests an adjustment increase of 97 burden hours (from
5,635 burden hours to 5,732 burden hours) associated with the
collection of information in the Welding, Cutting, and Brazing
Standard. OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to
this notice, and will include this summary in its request to OMB to
extend the approval of the information collection requirements
contained in the Standard.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Welding, Cutting, and Brazing (29 CFR part, subpart Q).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0207.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 20,471.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Total Responses: 81,884.
    Average Time per Response: OSHA estimates it will take 1 minute
(.02 hour) to maintain the inspection certification record to 5 minutes
(.08 hour) for each welder to perform the inspection periodically
(semi-annually).
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 5,732.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 airplanes. This AD was prompted
by reports of failures of the emergency slide on the forward passenger
door, which prevented the door from opening. This AD requires
repetitive re-packing of certain forward door escape slides. We are
issuing this AD to prevent failure of the emergency slide, which can
prevent the forward passenger door from opening, and which could result
in impeded emergency evacuation and possible subsequent injury to
passengers and flightcrew.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 10, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of February 10,
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 the specified products. The
NPRM was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2012 (77 FR
65144). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o
Civil (ANAC), which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued
Brazilian Airworthiness Directives 2011-12-01 and 2011-12-02, both
effective December 27, 2011 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products. MCAI Brazilian
Airworthiness Directive 2011-12-01 states:

During operational checks of escape slide P/N [part number] 4A4030-
5, some operators have reported failure in the escape slide
preventing the forward passenger door opening. This [Brazilian] AD
is being issued to prevent failure of this system which could impede
an emergency evacuation and increase the chance of injury to
passengers and flight crew.

* * * * *
MCAI Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2011-12-02 states:

During scheduled deployment tests of escape slide P/N 104003-2, some
operators have reported failure in the escape slide preventing the
forward passenger door opening. This [Brazilian] AD is being issued
to prevent failure of this system which could impede an emergency
evacuation and increase the chance of injury to passengers and
flight crew.

* * * * *
The required action is repetitive re-packing of certain forward door
escape slides. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2012-
1108-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request to Reference Newer Revisions of Service Information

    Embraer requested that paragraphs (h), (j)(1)(i), and (j)(1)(ii) of
the NPRM (77 FR 65144, October 25, 2012) reference newer revisions of
the maintenance review board reports. These new revisions are EMBRAER
170/175 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1621, Revision 8, dated
August 20, 2012; and EMBRAER 190/195 Maintenance Review Board Report,
MRB-1928, Revision 6, dated August 20, 2012.
    We agree to revise paragraph (h) of this final rule to also
reference the newer revisions. However, paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and
(j)(1)(ii), along with paragraphs (j)(1)(iii), (j)(1)(iv), and (j)(2)
of the NPRM (77 FR 65144, October 25, 2012), were removed from this
final rule and are identified in the Incorporation by Reference section
(paragraph (k) of this final rule).

Request To Add Alternative Maintenance Instructions for Model ERJ 190-
100 ECJ Airplanes

    Embraer requested that the NPRM (77 FR 65144, October 25, 2012)
reference Task 25-65-01-001, Emergency Evacuation Slide Assembly, in
EMBRAER Lineage 1000 Maintenance Planning Guide, MPG-2928, Revision 3,
dated September 28, 2012 (for Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ airplanes), instead
of Section 1, ``System and Powerplant Maintenance Requirements,'' of
EMBRAER 190 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1928, Revision 5,
dated November 11, 2010. Task 25-65-01-001 of the EMBRAER 190/195
Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1928, Revision 6, dated August 20,
2012; and Task 25-65-01-001 of Section 1, ``System and Powerplant
Maintenance Requirements,'' of EMBRAER 190 Maintenance Review Board
Report, MRB-1928, Revision 5, dated November 11, 2010; are not
applicable to the ERJ 190-100 ECJ model.
    We agree. Since operators of Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ airplanes are
not able to comply with the requirements of this final rule using
EMBRAER 190/195 Maintenance Review Board Reports, we have added
paragraph (h)(2) to this final

rule to allow those operators to use the EMBRAER Lineage 1000 (ERJ 190-
100 ECJ) Maintenance Planning Guide instead. This change does not
expand the scope of the NPRM (77 FR 65144, October 25, 2012).

Request To Extend Repetitive Re-packing Interval

    US Airways requested that the repetitive re-packing interval in its
current slide maintenance program be left at 36 months instead changing
it to the 18 months proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 65144, October 25,
2012). US Airways suggested a one-time re-pack interval of 18 months
and a repetitive re-pack interval of 36 months; otherwise, the reduced
interval would add extensive work-hours and cost to change to and
maintain an 18-month repetitive re-pack interval.
    We disagree with the requested change. To allow a 36-month
repetitive re-pack interval instead of an 18-month re-pack interval
would defeat/counteract the intent of this AD. Over time, the slide can
develop a ``set'' position, which prevents the slide from properly
deploying in an emergency. Re-packing at the reduced interval of 18
months is intended to prevent the ``set'' and improves reliability of
the slide in an emergency. We have not changed this final rule in this
regard.

Request To Allow Credit for Previously Re-packed Slides

    US Airways requested a time allowance for slides that have been
previously re-packed using the Goodrich service information. US Airways
stated that regardless if its slides have been re-packed, the 18-month
requirement is enforced. US Airways requested that those slides that
have been previously re-packed using the applicable Goodrich service
information be exempt from the 18-month re-packing requirement and be
allowed to enter the repetitive maintenance schedule at the 36-month
overhaul interval.
    We disagree. As explained in the comment response to ``Request to
Extend Repetitive Re-packing Interval,'' the intent of this AD is to
prevent ``set'' by re-packing the slide at 18-month intervals instead
of only at the 36-month maintenance overhaul. Paragraphs (g) and (h) of
this AD specify that re-packing must be done at least every 18 months,
but accomplishing an overhaul instead is also acceptable since the
overhaul process includes re-packing the slide. An operator could
choose to re-pack the slide at 18 months, overhaul the slide at 36
months, re-pack at 54 months, overhaul at 72 months, and so on.
However, operators should note that once the slide is 15 years old, the
task specified in paragraph (h) of this final rule currently requires
that the slides be overhauled at intervals not to exceed 12 months. We
have not changed this final rule in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 65144, October 25, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 65144, October 25, 2012).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 235 products of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost between $435 and $542
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. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to U.S.
operators to be between $153,065 and $180,136, or $605 and $712 per
product.

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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=FAA-2012-1108; or in person at the
Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Release From Federal Surplus Property and Grant
Assurance Obligations at Porterville Municipal Airport, Porterville, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of request to release airport land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and
invites public comment on the application for a release of
approximately 26 acres of airport property at the Porterville Municipal
Airport (Airport), Porterville, California from all conditions
contained in the Surplus Property Deed and Grant Assurances because the
parcel of land is not needed for airport purposes. The land requested
to be released is located at the southwest corner of the airport and
distant from the airfield. The land had previously been set aside as
mitigation for a kit fox preserve, which prevented any airport activity
on the property. The wildlife designation was recently eliminated
allowing the City of Porterville (City) to acquire the property at its
fair market value, thereby serving the interest of civil aviation. It
will be developed for another purpose compatible with the airport and
the new use will not interfere with the airport or its operation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 20, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed
or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Robert Lee, Airports
Compliance Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, San Francisco
Airports District Office, Federal Register Comment, 1000 Marina
Boulevard, Suite 220, Brisbane, CA 94005. In addition, one copy of the
comment submitted to the FAA must be mailed or delivered to Mr. Bradley
D. Dunlap, Community Development Director, 291 N. Main Street,
Porterville, CA 93257.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The City of Porterville, California requested a release from
Federal surplus property and grant assurance obligations for
approximately 26 acres of airport land to allow for its sale. The
property was originally acquired pursuant to the Surplus Property Act
of 1944 and was deeded to the City of Porterville on June 16, 1948. The
parcel of land is located some distance from the airfield in the
southwest corner of the airport; outside of the airport fence line;
east of the secondary access road; and north of Teapot Dome Avenue. Due
to its location and undeveloped condition, the property cannot be
readily used and will not be needed for airport purposes.
    The property had been set aside as part of a 40-acre kit fox
preserve and could not be used for any other purpose. Based on
biological surveys in 2005 and 2006, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
determined that the preserve site was no longer needed. By purchasing
conservation credits, the City of Porterville was able to obtain an
amendment to the 1990 Biological Opinion that established the kit fox
preserve in order to eliminate the wildlife designation. The land was
never used for airport purposes and is not needed for future airport
use. The City of Porterville will acquire the property and use
approximately 16 acres for City related purposes and future
development. The City will compensate the Airport fund for the fair
market value of the land.
    The sale price of the parcel will be based on an appraisal of its
fair market value. The sales proceeds are being devoted to airport
operations and capital projects. The reuse of the property will not
interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby serving the
interests of civil aviation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On February 12, 2020, at 85 FR 7894, the Federal Register published
the FAA's notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to amend
14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Airbus Helicopters
Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, AS332L1, AS332L2, and EC225LP
helicopters with a hoist arm and with RH sliding door reinforced
bracket modification (MOD) 0726841 installed. The NPRM proposed to
require revising the RFM for your helicopter by adding emergency and
normal procedures and installing placards to require using the normal
door handle instead of the jettison handle for the RH side sliding
door. Alternatively, the NPRM proposed to allow removing the hoist arm
instead of installing the placards. The proposed requirements were
intended to prevent interference between the hoist arm and the
reinforced bracket, which results in failure of the sliding door to
jettison, and could prevent helicopter occupants from evacuating the
helicopter during an emergency.
    The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD No. 2018-0140-E, dated June 29,
2018 (EASA AD 2018-0140-E), issued by EASA, which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe
condition for Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter, Eurocopter
France, Aerospatiale) Model AS 332 C, AS 332 C1, AS 332 L, AS 332 L1,
AS 332 L2, and EC 225 LP helicopters. EASA

advises that during a jettison test of the RH side sliding door, the
sliding door became blocked between the hoist, airframe, and access
step. Interference was identified between the hoist arm and the sliding
door median fitting (reinforced bracket). EASA identifies the
reinforced bracket as Airbus Helicopter MOD 0726841, which was required
by EASA AD No. 2015-0167, dated August 12, 2015. EASA states that this
condition could prevent jettisoning of the RH sliding door in an
emergency, subsequently obstructing evacuation, and possibly resulting
in injury to occupants. To correct this unsafe condition, EASA AD 2018-
0140-E requires removing the hoist arm, or alternatively revising the
applicable RFM and installing placards to specify using the normal door
handle instead of the jettison handle for the RH side sliding door.
    EASA states that Airbus Helicopters is developing a modification to
eliminate the interference between the hoist arm and the reinforced
bracket. As a result, EASA considers its AD an interim action and
states that further AD action may follow.

Comments

    After the NPRM was published, the FAA received comments from one
commenter. However, the comments addressed neither the proposed actions
nor the determination of the cost to the public. Therefore, the FAA has
made no changes based on the comments.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA of the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is issuing this AD after
evaluating all information provided by EASA, reviewing the relevant
information, considering the comments received, and determining the
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
helicopters of these same type designs and that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD to be an interim action. The design
approval holder is currently developing a modification that will
address the unsafe condition identified in this AD. Once this
modification is developed, approved, and available, the FAA might
consider additional rulemaking.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires either removing the hoist arm or prohibiting
use of the RH sliding door jettison handle by revising the RFM and
installing placards. This AD requires revising the applicable RFM for
your helicopter regardless of whether the hoist arm is removed.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus Helicopters has co-published as one document Emergency Alert
Service Bulletin (EASB) No. 01.00.89, Revision 1, dated June 28, 2018
(EASB 01.00.89), for Model AS332-series helicopters; EASB No. 04A014,
Revision 1, dated June 28, 2018 (EASB 04A014), for Model EC225
helicopters; and EASB No. 01.00.52, Revision 1, dated June 28, 2018,
for non-FAA type certificated Model AS532 helicopters (EASB 01.00.52).
EASBs 01.00.89 and 04A014 are incorporated by reference in this AD.
EASB 01.00.52 is not incorporated by reference in this AD.
    This service information provides pages to add to the emergency and
normal procedures sections of the RFM, and specifies either removing
the hoist arm or installing placards that require using the normal door
handle instead of the jettison handle for the RH side sliding door.
This service information further allows installing the placards during
each installation of the hoist arm and removing the placards with each
removal of the hoist arm.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    Airbus Helicopters has issued Service Bulletin (SB) No. AS332-
52.00.43 for Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, AS332L1, and AS332L2
helicopters and SB No. EC225-52-008 for Model EC225LP helicopters, both
Revision 0 and dated June 23, 2015. This service information contains
procedures for installing the reinforced bracket identified as MOD
0726841.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 36 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this AD.
    Revising the RFM for your helicopter takes about 1 work-hour for an
estimated cost of $85 per helicopter or $3,060 for the U.S. fleet.
    Installing the placards takes about 1 work-hour for an estimated
cost of $85 per helicopter or $3,060 for the U.S. fleet. Alternatively,
removing the hoist arm takes about 1 work-hour for an estimated cost of
$85 per helicopter.

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.
    The FAA is 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 helicopters 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

BY CERTIFIED U. S. MAIL; RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED ( Name, title, and address of the [ designated] representative of the affected business)

Re: [ Description of the information that is the subject of the advance or final confidentiality determination]

Dear ( Addressee):

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (" EPA" or " Agency") is seeking to determine the entitlement to confidentiality of [ description of the information that is the subject of the advance or final confidentiality determination] that you submitted to the Agency. You have claimed ( all or part) of this information as confidential business information (" CBI").

This letter is to notify you that the EPA ( appropriate legal office) will be making a( n) ( advance or final) confidentiality determination concerning this information. If you feel that some or all of the above information is entitled to confidential treatment, please specify which portions of the information you consider confidential. Please be specific by page, paragraph, and sentence when identifying the information subject to your claim. Any information not specifically identified as subject to a confidentiality claim will be disclosed to the public without further notice to you. For each item or class of information that you identify as being subject to your claim, please answer the following questions, giving as much detail as possible:

1. For what period of time do you request that the information be maintained as confidential? If the occurrence of a specific event will eliminate the need for confidentiality, please specify that event.

2. Information submitted to EPA becomes stale over time. Why should the information you claim as confidential be protected for the time period specified in your answer to question # 1? 2 3. What measures have you taken to protect the information claimed as confidential? Have you disclosed the information to anyone other than a governmental body or someone who is bound by an agreement not to disclose the information further? If so, why should the information still be considered confidential?

4. Is the information contained in any publicly available material such as the Internet, publicly available databases, promotional publications, annual reports, or articles? Is there any means by which a member of the public could obtain access to the information? Is the information of a kind that you would customarily not release to the public?

5. Has any governmental body made a determination as to the confidentiality of the information? If so, please attach a copy of the determination.

6. For each category of information claimed as confidential, explain with specificity why release of the information is likely to cause substantial harm to your competitive position. Explain the specific nature of those harmful effects, why they should be viewed as substantial, and the causal relationship between disclosure and such harmful effects. How is the information used in your business, and how could your competitors make use of this information to your detriment?

7. Do you assert that the information is submitted on a voluntary or a mandatory basis? Please explain the reason for your assertion.

8. Any other issue you deem relevant.

Please note that you bear the burden of substantiating your confidentiality claim. Conclusory allegations will be given little or no weight in the determination. If you wish to claim any of the information in your response as confidential, you must mark the response " CONFIDENTIAL" or with a similar designation, and must bracket all text so claimed. Information so designated will be disclosed by EPA only to the extent allowed by, and by means of the procedures set forth in, 40 C. F. R. Part 2, Subpart B. If you fail to claim the information as confidential, it may be made available to the public without further notice to you.

Your comments must be postmarked or hand delivered to this office, or e mailed to ( email address), by the 15th working day after your receipt of this letter. You may seek an extension of time to submit your comments to this office, but the request must be made before the end of the 15 day period. Except in extraordinary circumstances, no extension will be approved. Failure to submit your comments within that time will be regarded as a waiver of your confidentiality claim or claims, and EPA will be free to release the information. 3 Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please call me at ( telephone number).

Sincerely,
