14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2020-1114; Project Identifier 2019-SW-058-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus 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 Model EC120B helicopters. This proposed
AD was prompted by a report of broken and bent attachment bolts of the
main rotor (MR) hub scissors assembly. This proposed AD would require
an inspection of the attachment bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly
for discrepancies and repair if necessary; part marking of the
attachment bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly; and repetitive
inspections of the part marking of the attachment bolts, and repair if
necessary; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which will be incorporated by reference. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0139, dated June 12, 2019 (EASA
AD 2019-0139) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for all Airbus Helicopters Model EC120B helicopters.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a report of broken and bent
attachment bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly. The FAA is proposing
this AD to address broken and bent attachment bolts of the MR hub
scissors assembly, which could lead to detachment of a MR hub scissors
attachment bolt, possibly resulting in complete loss of control of the
helicopter. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0139 describes procedures for an inspection of the
attachment bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly for discrepancies
(discrepancies include corrosion, fretting, wear, cracking, bolt play,
and bolt tightening torque); and repair if necessary; part marking of
the attachment bolts of the MR hub scissors assembly; and repetitive
inspections, after part marking, of the attachment bolts for
discrepancies, and repair if necessary. The inspections of the
attachment bolts of the MR hub assembly include checking the play and
torque of the scissors attachment bolts and making sure that there are
no hard spots in the scissors link hinge.
    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 the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the FAA
evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other
products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2019-0139, described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2019-0139
will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed
AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2019-0139 in its
entirety, through that incorporation, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular
section in the EASA AD does not mean that operators need comply only
with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to
``all required actions and compliance times,'' compliance with this AD
requirement is not limited to the section titled ``Required Action(s)
and Compliance Time(s)'' in the EASA AD. Service information specified
in EASA AD 2019-0139 that is required for compliance with EASA AD 2019-
0139 will be available on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2020-1114 after the FAA
final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 160 helicopters of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 work-hours x $85 per hour = $425...........................              $0             $425          $68,000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 hour per product to
comply with the proposed reporting requirement in this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA
estimates the cost of reporting on U.S. operators to be $13,600, or $85
per product.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
helicopters that might need these on-condition actions:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 work-hours x $85 per hour = $340....             $40             $380
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this proposed AD
is 2120-0056. The paperwork cost associated with this proposed AD has
been detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and
includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting
associated with this proposed AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the
accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should
be directed to Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal
Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-
1524.

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 above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

[Docket No. FAA-2019-0613; Airspace Docket No. 19-ASW-9]
RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Revocation and Amendment of the Class E Airspace;
Lafayette, LA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revoke the Class E airspace designated
as an extension to a Class C surface area at Lafayette Regional
Airport/Paul Fournet Field, Lafayette, LA, and amend the Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Lafayette
Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field and Acadiana Regional Airport, New
Iberia, LA, which is contained within the Lafayette, LA, airspace legal
description. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of the
decommissioning of the Acadi non-directional beacon (NDB), which
provided navigation information for the instrument procedures at
Acadiana Regional Airport, and the development of new instrument
procedures at Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field. The
geographic coordinates of Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field
and the names of Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field,
Acadiana Regional Airport, and Abbeville Chris Crusta Memorial Airport,
Abbeville, LA, which is contained within the Lafayette, LA, airspace
legal description, would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 4, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. 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 would revoke the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a
Class C surface area at Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field,
Lafayette, LA, and amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field
and Acadiana Regional Airport, New Iberia, LA, to support instrument
flight rule operations at these airports.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2019-0613/
Airspace Docket No. 19-ASW-9.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by:
    Removing the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class
C surface area at Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field,
Lafayette, LA, as it is no longer required;
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 7.5-mile radius (decreasing from a 7.7-
mile radius) of the Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field;
within a 6.7-mile radius (decreased from a 6.9-mile radius) of Acadiana
Regional Airport, New Iberia, LA; updating the names of Lafayette
Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field (previously Lafayette Regional
Airport), Abbeville Chris Crusta Memorial Airport (previously Abbeville
Municipal Airport), and Acadiana Regional Airport (previously Acadiana
Regional) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and
updating the geographic coordinates of Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul
Fournet Field to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and
removing the city associated with the Acadiana Regional Airport from
the airspace legal description to comply with a change to FAA Order
7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Acadi NDB, which provided navigation information
for the instrument procedures at Acadiana Regional Airport and the
development of new instrument procedures at Lafayette Regional Airport/
Paul Fournet Field.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6003 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and
effective September 15, 2018, 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.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

[Release No. 34-76402; File No. SR-NYSEARCA-2015-103]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Making Certain
Representations Relating to the NYSE Best Quote & Trades Data Feed

November 10, 2015.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on October 29, 2015, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Arca'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to make certain representations relating to
the NYSE Best Quote & Trades (NYSE BQT) data feed. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at
www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the
Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The NYSE Best Quotes and Trades (``NYSE BQT'') data feed, a market
data product offered by the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''),
provides best bid and offer (``BBO'') and last sale information for the
Exchange and its affiliates, NYSE and NYSE MKT LLC (``NYSE MKT'').\4\
Specifically, the NYSE BQT data feed consists of certain data elements
from six market data feeds--NYSE Trades, NYSE BBO, NYSE Arca Trades,
NYSE Arca BBO, NYSE MKT Trades, and NYSE MKT BBO.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-73553 (Nov. 6,
2014), 79 FR 67491 (Nov. 13, 2014) (SR-NYSE-2014-40) (``NYSE BQT
Approval Order'').
    \5\ These data feeds are offered pursuant to preexisting and
effective rules and fees filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''). This filing does not affect those rules
or the fees associated with these underlying data feeds or the
ability for the NYSE Arca, the NYSE or NYSE MKT to amend the data
feeds or fees associated with those data feeds pursuant to separate
rule filings. For NYSE Arca Trades, see Securities Exchange Act
Release Nos. 59289 (Jan. 23, 2009), 74 FR 5711 (Jan. 30, 2009) (SR-
NYSEArca-2009-06) and 59598 (Mar. 18, 2009), 74 FR 12919 (Mar. 25,
2009) (SR-NYSEArca-2009-05). For NYSE Arca BBO, see Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 62188 (May 27, 2010), 75 FR 31484 (June 3,
2010) (SR-NYSEArca-2010-23). For NYSE Trades, see Securities
Exchange Act Release Nos. 59290 (Jan. 23, 2009), 74 FR 5707 (Jan.
30, 2009) (SR-NYSE-2009-05) and 59606 (Mar. 19, 2009), 74 FR 13293
(Mar. 26, 2009) (SR-NYSE-2009-04). For NYSE BBO, see Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 62181 (May 26, 2010), 75 FR 31488 (June 3,
2010) (SR-NYSE-2010-30). For NYSE MKT Trades and NYSE MKT BBO, see
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62187 (May 27, 2010), 75 FR
31500 (June 3, 2010) (SR-NYSEAmex-2010-35).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While NYSE Arca, NYSE and NYSE MKT are the exclusive distributors
of their BBO and Trades feeds from which the data elements are taken to
create the NYSE BQT data feed, the NYSE represented that it would not
have any unfair advantage over competing vendors with respect to
obtaining data from NYSE, NYSE Arca and NYSE MKT.\6\ The NYSE
represented that it would not be the exclusive distributor of the
aggregated and consolidated information that comprises the NYSE BQT
data feed and that it designed the NYSE BQT data feed so that it would
not have a competitive advantage over a competing vendor with respect
to the speed of access to those six underlying data feeds. In
recognition that NYSE Arca is the source of its own market data, NYSE
Arca represents that it will continue to make available the individual
underlying feeds, NYSE Arca Trades and NYSE Arca BBO, and that the
source for these feeds for use by NYSE to create the NYSE BQT data feed
is the same as the source available to other vendors.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See supra note 4 at 67492.
    \7\ NYSE MKT is filing a similar proposal regarding the NYSE BQT
data feed (SR-NYSEMKT-2015-92).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that the proposed change is not otherwise
intended to address any other issues, and the Exchange is not aware of
any problems that member organizations or others would have in
complying with the proposed rule change.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) \8\ of the Act, in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \9\ of the Act, in particular, in that it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest, and it is not
designed to permit unfair discrimination among customers, brokers, or
dealers. This proposal is in keeping with those principles in that it
promotes increased transparency through the dissemination

of the NYSE BQT data feed to those interested in receiving it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Arca is the source of its own market data, including the NYSE
Arca market data that the NYSE includes in the NYSE BQT data feed. NYSE
Arca represents that it will continue to make available the individual
underlying NYSE Arca market data products, NYSE Arca Trades and NYSE
Arca BBO, that are included in NYSE BQT, and that the source of the
NYSE Arca market data the NYSE uses to create the NYSE BQT data feed is
the same as the source available to other vendors. Thus, a vendor
creating a product to compete with NYSE BQT could also obtain the six
underlying data feeds in NYSE BQT and perform a similar aggregation and
consolidation function to create the same data product with the same
latency.
    The NYSE BQT data feed helps to protect a free and open market by
providing vendors and subscribers with additional choices in receiving
this type of market data, thus promoting competition and innovation.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\10\ the Exchange
does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden
on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. As noted above, the NYSE BQT data feed
represents aggregated and consolidated information of six existing
market data feeds. Although NYSE Arca, the NYSE and NYSE MKT are the
exclusive distributors of the six BBO and Trades feeds from which
certain data elements are taken to create the NYSE BQT data feed, the
NYSE may not be the exclusive distributor of the aggregated and
consolidated information that comprises the NYSE BQT data feed. Any
other market data recipient of the six BBO and Trades feeds would be
able, if they chose, to create a data feed with the same information as
the NYSE BQT data feed and distribute it to their clients on a level-
playing field with respect to latency and cost as compared to the
NYSE's product.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 78 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
    \11\ See NYSE BQT Approval Order, supra note 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \14\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative upon filing. The Exchange notes that the NYSE BQT
data feed has been the subject of prior rule filings and believes that
waiver of the 30-day operative delay will provide more transparency and
consistency with respect to the description of the NYSE BQT data feed.
Based on the foregoing, the Commission believes that the waiver of the
operative delay is appropriate and is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.\15\ The Commission hereby grants the
waiver and designates the proposal operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \16\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The
Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-
200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP
series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in the main
entry door number 1 upper main sill outer chord, along the bend radius
of the chord on several airplanes. This AD requires a general visual
inspection to identify any existing structural repair manual (SRM)
repairs of the upper main sill outer chord of the left and right side
main entry door number 1, repetitive detailed inspections for cracks in
the upper main sill of the door(s); and related investigative and
corrective actions, if necessary. This AD also requires repetitive
inspections for airplanes on which a certain repair is done, and
corrective actions if necessary, and reduces certain compliance times.
We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the main entry
door number 1 upper main sill outer chord, along the bend radius of the
chord, which could result in loss of structural integrity of the
airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective December 31, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of December 31,
2012.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that
would apply to the specified products. That supplemental NPRM published
in the Federal Register on December 29, 2011 (76 FR 81879). The
original NPRM (74 FR 49351, September 28, 2009) proposed to require a
general visual inspection to identify any existing SRM repairs of the
upper main sill outer chord of the left and right side main entry door
number 1, as applicable; repetitive detailed inspections for cracks in
the upper main sill of the door(s); and related investigative and
corrective actions, if necessary. The original NPRM also proposed to
require repetitive inspections for airplanes on which a certain repair
is done, and corrective actions if necessary The supplemental NPRM
proposed to revise the original NPRM by reducing certain compliance
times.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(76 FR 81879, December 29, 2011) and the FAA's response to each
comment.

Request To Repair Crack by Using SRM

    Boeing requested that we revise paragraph (k) of the supplemental
NPRM (76 FR 81879, December 29, 2011) to allow, for repair of any crack
found during any inspection specified

in paragraph (g) or (h) of the supplemental NPRM, using ``the FAA
approved Boeing 747-400 SRM 53-10-15, Fig 201 Repair 1-``MED 1
Upper Main Sill web'' or a method approved in accordance with the
procedures specified in paragraph (s) of this AD.'' Boeing explained
that the Boeing 747-400 SRM provides an FAA-approved repair, and that
allowing its use for repairs would reduce the resource requirements of
providing alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approvals.
    We agree to include the SRM reference requested by Boeing for Model
747-400 series airplanes. We have revised paragraph (k) of this final
rule accordingly.

Request To Revise Inspection Compliance

    Boeing requested that we revise paragraph (l) of the supplemental
NPRM (76 FR 81879, December 29, 2011) to explain that the specified
inspection is repeated only until the outer chord repair is installed
(as specified in Part 3 of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2785, Revision 1, dated July 15, 2010).
Boeing explained that paragraphs (g) and (h) of the supplemental NPRM
allow termination of repetitive inspections if that repair has been
accomplished. Boeing reasoned that paragraph (l) of the supplemental
NPRM implies that inspections are ongoing.
    We agree with the commenter's request for the reasons stated by
Boeing. We have revised paragraph (l) of this final rule accordingly.

Request To Include Certain Paragraphs as Acceptable for Repair
Requirements of AD 2010-01-01, Amendment 39-16157 (75 FR 1533, January
12, 2010)

    All Nippon Airways (ANA) requested that we revise paragraph (o) of
the supplemental NPRM (76 FR 81879, December 29, 2011) to reference
paragraphs (j) and (k) of the supplemental NPRM as acceptable for
compliance with AD 2010-01-01, Amendment 39-16157 (75 FR 1533, January
12, 2010). ANA explained that, otherwise, operators would have to
obtain an AMOC for the requirements of AD 2010-01-01 when they repair
the subject area per paragraph (j) or (k) of the supplemental NPRM.
    We agree that accomplishment of the repairs required by paragraphs
(j) and (k) of this AD are acceptable for compliance with the repair
requirements of paragraph (h) of AD 2010-01-01, Amendment 39-16157 (75
FR 1533, January 12, 2010). In addition, we have determined that
accomplishment of the repairs required by paragraphs (j) and (k) of
this AD are acceptable for compliance with paragraph (l) of AD 2009-18-
07, Amendment 39-16003 (74 FR 43629, August 27, 2009). We have revised
paragraph (o) of this final rule accordingly.

Explanation of Additional Changes Made to This AD

    We have revised the heading and wording for paragraph (r) of this
AD to provide appropriate credit for previous accomplishment of certain
actions. This change does not affect the intent of that paragraph.
    We have re-identified Note 1 to paragraph (o) of the supplemental
NPRM (76 FR 81879, December 29, 2011) as paragraph (o)(2) in this final
rule.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously--and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     [Agr]re consistent with the intent that was proposed in
the supplemental NPRM (76 FR 81879, December 29, 2011) for correcting
the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the supplemental NPRM (76 FR 81879, December 29,
2011).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 165 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.

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.
