Discussion

    We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that
would apply to all ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model
ATR42 and

Model ATR72 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
March 29, 2018 (83 FR 13436). The NPRM was prompted by reports of
cracking in main landing gear (MLG) universal joints (U-joints). The
NPRM proposed to require repetitive detailed inspections of the
affected U-joints for cracks, and replacement if necessary. The NPRM
also provided an optional terminating action for the repetitive
inspections.

Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued

    Since we issued the NPRM, the number of affected parts that must be
inspected has increased. In addition, the European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of
the European Union, issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2018-0080,
dated April 11, 2018 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), which
supersedes EASA AD 2017-0172, dated September 7, 2017 (referred to in
the NPRM).
    The MCAI was issued to correct an unsafe condition on all ATR-GIE
Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and Model ATR72
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Occurrences were reported of finding cracks in certain MLG U-
joints. Subsequent investigation identified a batch of affected U-
joints which have possibly been subjected to non-detected thermal
abuse during the grinding process by the U-joint manufacturer in
production, or by a maintenance organization during overhaul and/or
repair.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to MLG
structural failure and subsequent collapse of the MLG, possibly
resulting in damage to the aeroplane and injury to the occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, SLS [Safran Landing
Systems] published the applicable SB [service bulletin] to provide
inspection instructions. Consequently, EASA issued AD 2017-0172 to
require repetitive detailed visual inspection (DVI) of the affected
U-joints for cracks, and, depending on findings, replacement.
    Since that AD was issued, SLS identified that certain s/n
[serial numbers] of affected U-joints were inadvertently not
included in the list of the original issue of the applicable SB.
Consequently, SLS issued Revision 02 of the applicable SB to clarify
the s/n tables of P/N [part number] D56805 and P/N D56805-2, and to
add those missed s/n of affected U-joints.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2017-0172, which is superseded, and includes
reference to Revision 02 of the applicable SB.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0167.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Safran Landing Systems has issued Service Bulletin 631-32-249,
Revision 2, dated February 13, 2018; Service Bulletin 631-32-250,
Revision 2, dated February 13, 2018; and Service Bulletin 631-32-251,
Revision 2, dated February 13, 2018. The service information describes
procedures for detailed inspections of the affected U-joints for
cracking, and replacement if necessary. These documents are distinct
since they apply to different airplane models. 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.

Comments

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

Request To Refer to Revised Service Information

    Empire Airlines requested that we refer to Service Bulletin 631-32-
249, Revision 2, dated February 13, 2018; Service Bulletin 631-32-250,
Revision 2, dated February 13, 2018; and Service Bulletin 631-32-251,
Revision 2, dated February 13, 2018, because the number of affected
parts increased with these revisions.
    We agree with the commenter's request. We have revised this
proposed AD to refer to the new service bulletins. We have given credit
for affected parts listed in Service Bulletin 631-32-249, Revision 1,
dated June 26, 2017; Service Bulletin 631-32-250, Revision 1, dated
June 26, 2017; and Service Bulletin 631-32-251, Revision 1, dated June
26, 2017. Any affected parts not identified in Revision 1 of the
applicable service bulletins must still comply with the requirements of
paragraphs (h) and (i) of this proposed AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This SNPRM

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these
same type designs.
    Certain changes described above expand the scope of the NPRM. As a
result, we have determined that it is necessary to reopen the comment
period to provide additional opportunity for the public to comment on
this SNPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 62 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes to the Director of the System Oversight
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We 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. 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.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0553]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Swim for Alligator Lighthouse, Islamorada, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on
certain navigable waters near Islamorada, Florida, during the Swim for
Alligator Lighthouse open water swim event. A permanent safety zone
exists for this event; however, for this year's event the date has
changed. This temporary safety zone is a short-term modification of the
existing permanent safety zone, due to a change in the date for this
year's event. The safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
event participants and spectators. Persons and non-participant vessels
are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or
remaining within the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port (COTP) Key West or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. on September
11, 2021.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2021-0553 in the ``SEARCH'' box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open
Docket Folder on the line associated with this rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

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

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is impracticable and contrary to
the public interest. The Coast Guard did not receive necessary
information from the event sponsor for this year's event until July 10,
2021. The Coast Guard has an existing safety zone for this event in 33
CFR 165.786, Table to Sec.  165.786, Line No. 9.1; however, the
existing regulation only covers the event when it is scheduled on the
third Saturday of September.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because the event is taking place on
September 11, 2021, and immediate action is needed to respond to the
potential safety hazards associated with this event.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under the authority in 46
U.S.C. 70034. The Captain of the Port Key West (COTP) has determined
that potential hazards associated with open water swim events will be a
safety concern for persons and vessels in the regulated area. This rule
is needed to ensure the safety of the event participants, the general
public, vessels and the marine environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone during the Swim for Alligator Lighthouse open
water swim event.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone on September 11, 2021, for a
period of 9 hours, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The safety zone will cover
all waters of the Atlantic Ocean beginning at a point Latitude
24[deg]54.82' N, longitude 080[deg]38.03' W, thence to latitude
24[deg]54.36' N, longitude 080[deg]37.72' W, thence to latitude
24[deg]51.07' N, longitude 080[deg]37.14' W, thence to latitude
24[deg]54.36' N, longitude 080[deg]37.72' W, thence to point of origin
at latitude 24[deg]54.82' N, longitude 080[deg]38.03' W. The event
course begins and ends at Amara Cay Resort in Islamorada, Florida, and
extends through Hawks Channel, with a turnaround at Alligator Reef
Lighthouse. Approximately 400 swimmers with kayak escorts and eight
safety vessels are anticipated to participate in the event. The size
and duration of the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and
the marine environment in these navigable waters during the open water
swim. Persons and non-participant vessels are prohibited from entering,
transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the COTP Key West or a designated
representative. If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in,
or remain within the safety zone is granted by the COTP Key West or a
designated representative, all persons and vessels receiving such
authorization must comply with the instructions of the COTP Key West or
a designated representative. The Coast Guard will provide notice of the
safety zone by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners,
or by on-scene designated representatives.

V. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a

budgeting process. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements
of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration and available exceptions to the enforcement of the
safety zone. The regulated area will impact small designated areas of
the Atlantic Ocean between Islamorada, Florida, and the Alligator Reef
Lighthouse for only 9 hours and thus is limited in time and scope.
Furthermore, the rule will allow vessels to seek permission to enter
the zone. Non-participant persons and vessels may enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area during the
enforcement periods if authorized by the COTP or a designated
representative. Vessels not able to enter, transit through, anchor in,
or remain within the regulated area without authorization from the COTP
or a designated representative may operate in the surrounding areas
during the 9 hour enforcement period. The Coast Guard will issue a
Local Notice to Mariners and a Broadcast Notice to Mariners, allowing
mariners to make alternative plans or seek permission to transit the
zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

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

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. The regulated area will impact small designated areas of
the Atlantic Ocean between Islamorada, Florida and the Alligator Reef
Lighthouse for only 9 hours and thus is limited in time and scope. It
is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01. A Record
of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see
the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

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