Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model EC135P1, EC135P2,
EC135P2+, EC135P3, EC135T1, EC135T2, EC135T2+, and EC135T3 helicopters.
This proposed AD was prompted by reduced life limits being established
for certain part-numbered tail rotor (TR) blades. This proposed AD
would require determining the total hours time-in-service (TIS) of
certain part-numbered TR blades, establishing a life limit for certain
part-numbered TR blades, removing from service any TR blade that has
reached or exceeded its life limit, creating a component history card,
re-identifying certain part-numbered TR blades, and removing any TR
blade from service before reaching its retirement life. This proposed
AD would also prohibit installing certain TR blades on certain model
helicopters. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 8,
2021.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0050, dated February 23, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0050), to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus
Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD), formerly Eurocopter Deutschland
GmbH, Eurocopter Espa[ntilde]a S.A., Model EC135 P1, EC135 P2, EC135
P2+, EC135 P3, EC135 T1, EC135 T2, EC135 T2+, EC135 T3, EC635 P2+,
EC635 P3, EC635 T1, EC635 T2+, and EC635 T3 helicopters, all variants,
and all serial numbers. EASA advises that a reduced life limit has been
established for certain part-numbered TR blades due to higher loads
experienced in service. This condition, if not addressed, could result
in fatigue and failure of a TR blade and loss of control of the
helicopter.
    Accordingly, EASA AD 2021-0050 requires determining the total hours
TIS for certain part-numbered TR blades, recalculating the TIS for
affected parts, and implementing a reduced life limit. EASA AD 2021-
0050 also prohibits installing certain part-numbered TR blades and TR
head assemblies and provides conditions for re-installation of certain
TR blades.

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 about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other helicopters of these same type designs.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin ASB
EC135H-04A-002 and Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin ASB EC135-
04A-014, both Revision 1, and both dated December 21, 2020. This
service information specifies procedures to determine the total hours
TIS of certain TR blades and provides instructions to re-identify
certain part-numbered TR blades.
    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.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require within 350 hours time-in-service
(TIS), determining the total hours TIS of certain part-numbered TR
blades and removing from service certain part-numbered TR blades that
have accumulated or exceeded 6,800 total hours TIS. This proposed AD
would also require for certain part-numbered TR blades with less than
6,800 total hours TIS, creating a component history card or equivalent
record to establish a life limit of 6,800 total hours TIS, and removing
these TR blades from service before accumulating 6,800 total hours TIS.
This proposed AD would require for certain model helicopters re-
identifying certain part-numbered TR blades with new part numbers and
removing those newly re-identified TR blades from service before
exceeding 6,800 total hours TIS.
    This proposed AD would also require for certain model helicopters
with certain part-numbered TR blades installed that have been
previously installed on certain model helicopters determining the total
hours TIS of the TR blade in accordance with a method approved by the
FAA or EASA. Finally, for certain model helicopters this proposed AD
would prohibit installing certain part-numbered TR blades and for
certain model helicopters this proposed AD would prohibit installing
certain part-numbered TR blades that have exceeded or accumulated 500
total hours TIS while previously installed on certain model
helicopters.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and EASA AD 2021-0050

    EASA AD 2021-0050 requires compliance using calendar time, whereas
this proposed AD would require compliance using hours TIS instead. EASA
AD 2021-0050 applies to Model EC635 P2+, EC635 P3, EC635 T1, EC635 T2+,
and EC635 T3 helicopters, which are not certificated by the FAA and are
not included on the U.S. type certificate data sheet, except where the
U.S. type certificate data sheet explains that the model EC635 T2+
helicopter having serial number 0858 was converted from Model EC635 T2+
to Model EC135 T2+. This proposed AD, therefore, does not include Model
EC635 P2+, EC635 P3, EC635 T1, EC635 T2+, and EC635 T3 helicopters in
the applicability. EASA AD 2021-0050 specifies contacting Airbus
Helicopters Deutschland GmbH to determine the total hours TIS
accumulated by certain TR blades whereas this proposed AD would require
determining the total hours TIS accumulated by the TR blade in
accordance with a method approved by the FAA or EASA. EASA AD 2021-0050
prohibits installing certain part-numbered TR head assemblies as
defined in its AD, whereas this AD would not contain this prohibition.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 341 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Labor rates are estimated at
$85 per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this proposed AD.
    Determining the total hours TIS of each TR blade, updating the
helicopter records and re-identifying each TR blade would take about 10
work-hours for each TR blade, for an estimated cost of $850 per TR
blade.
    Replacing each TR blade would take about 10 work-hours and parts
would

cost about $4,400 for an estimated cost of $5,250 per TR blade
replacement.

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 products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify this proposed regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would 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: The Onslow Beach Swing Bridge at Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway, mile 240.7, at Camp Lejeune NC, has a vertical
clearance in the closed position to vessels of approximately 12 feet,
above mean high water.
    The U.S. Marine Corps at Camp Lejeune NC, who owns and operates
this swing-type drawbridge, has requested a temporary deviation from
the current operating regulations set out in 33 CFR 117.821(a)(1) to
facilitate urgent replacement of the main hydraulic system.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Onslow Beach Swing Bridge will
be maintained in the closed-to-navigation position from 1 a.m. on
Wednesday, September 8, 2010 through 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, September
14, 2010.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge without a bridge opening may
do so at anytime. There are no alternate routes for vessels transiting
this section of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the drawbridge
will be unable to open in the event of an emergency.
    The Coast Guard has coordinated the restrictions with the local
users of the waterway, the Steamship Trade Committee, the Virginia
Maritime Association, and marinas and will inform unexpected users
through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the closure
period for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

action may be of particular interest to persons who produce or use
pesticides, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the information in this notice, consult the person listed

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.

    A request to waive the 180-day comment period has been received for
the following registrations: 432-1288; 769-638; 5481-9; 5481-341; 5481-
342; 5481-343; 5481-345 5481-346; 5481-347. Therefore, the 30-day
comment period will apply for these registrations.
    Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant by October 10, 2007
or by May 14, 2007 for those registrations with a 30-day comment
period, orders will be issued canceling all of these registrations. A
person may submit comments to EPA as provided in ADDRESSES and Unit I.
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION above. However, because FIFRA section
6(f)(1)(A) allows a registrant to request cancellation of its pesticide
registrations at any time, users or anyone else desiring retention of
those pesticides listed in Table 1 may want to contact the applicable
registrant in Table 2 directly during this period to request that the
registrant retain the pesticide registration or to discuss the
possibility of transferring the registration. A user seeking to apply
for its own registration of that pesticide may submit comments
requesting EPA not to cancel a registration until its ``me-too''
registration is granted.
    Table 2 of this unit includes the names and ADDRESSES of record for
all registrants of the products in Table 1 of this unit, in sequence by
EPA company number:

III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a
pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide
registrations be canceled. FIFRA further provides that, before acting
on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such
request in the Federal Register and provide for a 30-day public comment
period. In addition, where a pesticide is registered for a minor
agricultural use and the Administrator determines that cancellation or
termination of that use would adversely affect the availability of the
pesticide for use, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) requires EPA to provide a
180-day period before approving or rejecting the section 6(f) request
unless:
    1. The registrant requests a waiver of the 180-day period, or
    2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before October 10, 2007 or
before May 14, 2007 for those registrations where the 180-day comment
period has been waived. This written withdrawal of the request for
cancellation will apply only to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1)
request listed in this notice. If the product(s) have been subject to a
previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and
all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are
controlling. The withdrawal request must also include a commitment to
pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill any applicable
unsatisfied data requirements.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the
cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations
will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing
stocks for 1 year after the date the cancellation request was received.
This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of policy as
prescribed in the Federal Register of June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL-
3846-4). Exceptions to this general rule will be made if a product
poses a risk concern, or is in noncompliance with reregistration
requirements, or is subject to a data call-in. In all cases, product-
specific disposition dates will be given in the cancellation orders.
    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply,
existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be
distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided
that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-approved label and
labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will
be made in specific

cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of
the products or their ingredients have already been imposed, as in a
Special Review action, or where the Agency has identified significant
potential risk concerns associated with a particular chemical.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2022-1237; Project Identifier MCAI-2022-00434-T;
Amendment 39-22264; AD 2022-25-08]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes; Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and
F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes
(collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes); and Model A310
series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that a Model A319
airplane lost the right-hand front windshield in flight. Due to the
design similarity, this condition can also exist or develop on Model
A300, A300-600, and A310 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive
inspections and electrical test measurements (ETMs) of the affected
parts, and applicable corrective actions, and prohibits the
installation of affected parts under certain conditions, as specified
in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is
incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 20, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 20,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model
A300 B2-1A, B2-1C, B2K-3C, B2-203, B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 airplanes;
Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-620, and B4-622 airplanes; Model A300 B4-
605R and B4-622R airplanes; Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes;
Model A300 F4-605R and F4-622R airplanes; and Model A310-203, -204, -
221, -222, -304, -322, -324, and -325 airplanes. The NPRM published in
the Federal Register on September 27, 2022 (87 FR 58463). The NPRM was
prompted by AD 2022-0058, dated March 28, 2022, issued by EASA, which
is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union
(EASA AD 2022-0058) (referred to after this as the MCAI). The MCAI
states that a Model A319 airplane lost the right-hand front windshield
in flight, with consequent rapid flight deck depressurization, causing
damage to flight deck items and systems, and significant increase of
flightcrew workload. The investigations identified several contributing
factors, including manufacturing variability, fretting between
windshield components, water ingress, and electrical braids corrosion,
which led to a thermal shock and overheat, damaging more than one
windshield structural ply and impairing the structural integrity of the
windshield. Due to the design similarity, this condition can also exist
or develop on Model A300, A300-600, and A310 series airplanes. This
condition, if not addressed, could lead to failure of the windshield,
possibly result in injury to the flightcrew and in-flight
depressurization of the airplane, and would significantly increase
pilot workload.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require repetitive inspections and
ETMs of the affected parts, and applicable corrective actions, and
prohibit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions,
as specified in EASA AD 2022-0058. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address possible windshield failure. This condition, if not addressed,
could possibly result in injury to the flightcrew and in-flight
depressurization of the airplane, and would significantly increase
pilot workload.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1237.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from the Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) and FedEx Express who supported the NPRM without
change.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the
comments received, and determined that air safety requires adopting
this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on this product. This AD is adopted as proposed in
the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2022-0058 specifies procedures for repetitive detailed
inspections and ETMs of the affected parts, and applicable corrective
actions. The corrective actions include replacing any affected window
with a serviceable window. EASA AD 2022-0058 also prohibits installing
certain part numbers.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 120 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Labor cost                   Parts cost         Cost per product         Cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 work-hours x $85 per hour = $340......              $0  $340 per inspection cycle.  $40,800 per inspection
                                                                                cycle
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition action that would be required based on the results of the
inspection. The agency has no way of determining the number of aircraft
that might need this on-condition action:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
               Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 work-hours x $85 per hour = $1,700...         $11,393         $13,093
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact
on affected operators.

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 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) 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.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12862 directs Federal
agencies to provide service to the public that matches or exceeds the
best service available in the private sector. In order to work
continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet our
customers' needs, Federal Emergency management Agency (FEMA) (hereafter
``the Agency'') seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to
collect qualitative feedback on our service delivery. By qualitative
feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on
perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of
study.

Collection of Information

    Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.

    Type of Information Collection: Extension, without change, of a
currently approved information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-0130.
    FEMA Forms: None.
    Abstract: The information collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely
manner, in accordance with the Administration's commitment to improving
service delivery. This feedback will provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early
warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery
of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its
customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected
under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it
will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be
used for quantitative information collections that are designed to
yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time
or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more
rigorous designs that address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements
or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the
expected response rate, methods for assessing potential non-response
bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending
on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such
collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Number of Respondents: 1,075,000.
    Number of Responses: 1,075,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 181,995 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost: $6,340,705.80.
    Estimated Respondents' Operation and Maintenance Costs: None.
    Estimated Respondents' Capital and Start-Up Costs: None.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to the Federal Government:
$2,079,000.95.

Comments

    Comments may be submitted as indicated in the ADDRESSES caption
above. Comments are solicited to (a) evaluate whether the proposed data
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the agency,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b)
evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
