14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0676; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-280-AD;
Amendment 39-15676; AD 2008-19-09]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100
Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    Service experience has shown that heavy MLG (main landing gear)
shimmy vibration can occur due to faulty/empty dampers or due to
excessive free play in the T/L (torque link) apex joint. In several
cases this shimmy vibration resulted in a MLG main fitting failure *
* * finally resulting in a collapse of the MLG causing extensive
damage to the wingtip, aileron and flaps. * * *

We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 3, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 3,
2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on July 2, 2008 (73 FR
37898). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Service experience has shown that heavy MLG (main landing gear)
shimmy vibration can occur due to faulty/empty dampers or due to
excessive free play in the T/L (torque link) apex joint. In several
cases this shimmy vibration resulted in a MLG main fitting failure.
In those cases where only the upper torque link attachment lug
failed the damage to the aircraft was limited. In all other cases
the MLG main fitting cracked, finally resulting in a collapse of the
MLG causing extensive damage to the wingtip, aileron and flaps. To
prevent the collapse of the MLG, Messier-Dowty has designed an upper
torque link fuse pin with a static strength lower than the
demonstrated strength of the MLG main fitting. In case of a heavy
shimmy vibration the upper torque link fuse pin will fail before the
main fitting. Therefore the installation of an upper torque link
fuse pin will protect the LH and RH (left- and right-hand) MLG main
fitting against extreme shimmy loads and thus against a MLG main
fitting failure and a MLG collapse. Since an unsafe condition has
been identified that may exist or develop on aircraft of the same
type design this Airworthiness Directive requires the modification
of the MLG by replacing the upper torque link pin with a new fuse
pin.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 2 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 15 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $0 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 the
U.S. operators to be $2,400, or $1,200 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 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); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2008-19-09 Fokker Services B.V.: Amendment 39-15676. Docket No. FAA-
2008-0676; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-280-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective November
3, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and F.28 Mark
0100, serial numbers 11244 thru 11585, certificated in any category,
equipped with Messier-Dowty main landing gears.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32: Landing
Gear.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    Service experience has shown that heavy MLG (main landing gear)
shimmy vibration can occur due to faulty/empty dampers or due to
excessive free play in the T/L (torque link) apex joint. In several
cases this shimmy vibration resulted in a MLG main fitting failure.
In those cases where only the upper torque link attachment lug
failed the damage to the aircraft was limited. In all other cases
the MLG main fitting cracked, finally resulting in a collapse of the
MLG causing extensive damage to the wingtip, aileron and flaps. To
prevent the collapse of the MLG, Messier-Dowty has designed an upper
torque link fuse pin with a static strength lower than the
demonstrated strength of the MLG main fitting. In case of a heavy
shimmy vibration the upper torque link fuse pin will fail before the
main fitting. Therefore the installation of an upper torque link
fuse pin will protect the LH and RH (left- and right-hand) MLG main
fitting against extreme shimmy loads and thus against a MLG main
fitting failure and a MLG collapse. Since an unsafe condition has
been identified that may exist or develop on aircraft of the same
type design this Airworthiness Directive requires the modification
of the MLG by replacing the upper torque link pin with a new fuse
pin.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done: Within the applicable compliance time
specified in paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD, do the
following actions.
    (1) For Messier-Dowty MLG in a pre-mod Messier-Dowty Service
Bulletin F100-32-050 configuration: Within 12 months after the
effective date of this AD, replace the upper torque link pin with a
new fuse pin in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-148, Revision 1, dated February
26, 2007.
    (2) For Messier-Dowty MLG in a post-mod Messier-Dowty Service
Bulletin F100-32-050 configuration: Within 30 months after the
effective date of this AD, replace the upper torque link pin with a
new fuse pin in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-148, Revision 1, dated February
26, 2007.

FAA AD Differences

    Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: The MCAI references the original version of the service
bulletin or a later approved version. The original version of the
service bulletin specifies to use an incorrect part number. This AD
refers to Revision 1 of the service bulletin.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using

Rodriguez, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-
0056.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57007; File No. SR-CHX-2007-17]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Regarding the Elimination of Provisions Relating to Rule 10a-1

December 20, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on August 31, 2007, the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (``CHX'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), and on October 22, 2007 amended, the proposed rule
change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been
substantially prepared by CHX. CHX has designated the proposed rule
change as constituting a ``non-controversial'' rule change under
paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 under the Act.\3\ The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Through this filing, the Exchange proposes to amend its rules to
eliminate all provisions that would impose a ``price test'' in
connection with the short sale of securities or require that CHX's
Matching System operate in a manner consistent with such a price test.
    The text of this proposed rule change is available at the Exchange,
on the Exchange's Web site at http://www.chx.com/rules/proposed_rules.htm
, and in 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 CHX included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received regarding the proposed rule change.
The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The CHX has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    On June 28, 2007, the Commission approved final rules eliminating
the price test of Rule 10a-1 \4\ and amending Regulation SHO.\5\ The
Commission's action prohibits any self-regulatory organization from
having a price test and removes the ``short exempt'' marking
requirement of Rule 200(g). The compliance date for these changes
(``Compliance Date'') was July 6, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.10a-1.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-55970 (June 28,
2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's rules currently include several provisions that
should be eliminated to ensure that the Exchange's rules do not
improperly impose a price test or otherwise require handling of short
sale orders in a manner inconsistent with the Commission's latest
action. Among others, these provisions include a requirement that
participants effect short sales in compliance with Rule 10a-1; a
description of the Matching System's repricing of sell short orders,
when necessary to comply with Rule 10a-1; and a requirement that
participants mark orders as ``short exempt.'' \6\ Through this filing,
the Exchange would eliminate these provisions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Article 9, Rule 23(a); Article 20, Rule 8(e)(5); and
Article 11, Rules 3 and 4, respectively. Other provisions that must
be eliminated are ones that relate to the ``short exempt'' order
type and that refer to Rule 10a-1. See Article 1, Rule 2(hh) and
Article 20, Rule 4(b)(23) (the ``short exempt'' order type); and
Article 1, Rule 1(w) (referring to Rule 10a-1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposal to confirm that
it is not eliminating a section of its ``Short Sales'' rule that
imposes a requirement that a market maker notify the Exchange if it has
a position in a security that is greater than or equal to 5% of the
outstanding public float of that security, as determined by the
company's most recent report on Form 10-K.\7\ The Exchange's original
proposal had sought to remove this provision from its rules.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Article 9, Rule 23(b).
    \8\ This provision is one that apparently was inadvertently
carried over from the Exchange's old trading model and is not
necessary in the Exchange's new trading model. A separate provision
of the Exchange's new trading model rules specifically requires that
market makers keep data about their positions and report that
information to the Exchange upon request. See Article 16, Rule 10.
The Exchange will file a separate proposal to eliminate this
provision, if it continues to believe that it is appropriate to do
so.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder that are applicable to a national
securities exchange, and, in particular, with the requirements of
Section 6(b).\9\ The Exchange believes that the proposed change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ because it would
promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to,
and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general, protect investors and the public
interest by modifying CHX's rules to comply with the Commission's
amendments to Rule 10a-1 and Regulation SHO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received.

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

    Because the foregoing 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 for 30 days from the date on which it was
filed, or such shorter time as the Commission

may designate, it has become effective upon filing pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act\11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\ At any
time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 5-day pre-
filing notice requirement and the 30-day operative delay of the
proposal. The Commission believes that such waivers are consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest because the
proposed rule change conforms CHX's rules to currently effective
Commission Rules.\13\ For this reason, the Commission designates the
proposal to be operative upon filing with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the 30 day pre-operative
period, the Commission has considered the impact of the proposed
rule change on efficiency, competition and capital formation. 15
U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 200

[Release No. 34-60448]

Delegation of Authority to Director of Division of Enforcement

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission is amending its rules to delegate authority to
the Director of the Division of Enforcement to issue formal orders of
investigation. These orders designate the enforcement staff authorized
to issue subpoenas in connection with investigations under the federal
securities laws. This action is intended to expedite the investigative
process by removing the need for enforcement staff to seek Commission
approval prior to performing routine functions. The Commission is
adopting this delegation for a one-year period, and at the end of the
period will evaluate whether to extend the delegation (though any
formal orders issued during this period will remain in effect).

DATES: Effective Date: August 11, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth H. Hall,<PHONE_NUMBER>, Office
of Chief Counsel, Division of Enforcement, Securities and Exchange
Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549-6553.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission is authorized to conduct
investigations of possible violations of the federal securities laws,
which provide that ``any member of the Commission or any officer
designated by it is empowered to administer oaths and affirmations,
subpoena witnesses, compel their attendance, take evidence, and require
the production of any books, papers, correspondence, memoranda, or
other records which the Commission deems relevant or material to the
inquiry.'' Section 21(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15
U.S.C. 78u(b). See also, Section 19(c) of the Securities Act of 1933,
15 U.S.C. 77s(c); Section 42(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
15 U.S.C. 80a-41(b); and Section 209(b) of the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, 15 U.S.C. 80b-9(b). The Commission issues formal orders of
investigation that authorize specifically designated enforcement staff
to exercise the Commission's statutory power to subpoena witnesses and
take the other actions authorized by the relevant cited provisions. The
Commission is delegating the authority to issue formal orders of
investigation to the Director of the Division of Enforcement. This
delegation will expedite the investigative process by reducing the time
and paperwork previously associated with obtaining Commission
authorization prior to issuing subpoenas.
    In any case the Division Director deems appropriate, the
recommendation that a formal order be issued may be submitted to the
Commission for review.

Administrative Law Matters

    The Commission finds, in accordance with the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A)), that this amendment
relates solely to agency organization, procedure, or practice.
Accordingly, the provisions of the APA regarding notice of the proposed
rulemaking and opportunities for public participation, 5 U.S.C. 553,
are not applicable. For the same reason, and because this amendment
does not substantively affect the rights or obligations of non-agency
parties, the provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act, 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(C), are not applicable. Additionally, the
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which apply only when
notice and comment are required by the APA or other law, 5 U.S.C. 603,
are not applicable. Section 23(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act, 15
U.S.C. 78w, requires the Commission, in adopting rules under that Act,
to consider the anticompetitive effects of any rules it adopts. Because
the amendment imposes no new burdens on parties in investigations, the
Commission does not believe it will have any impact on competition.
Finally, this amendment does not contain any collection of information
requirements as defined by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, as

amended. Accordingly, the amendment is effective August 11, 2009.

Proposed Amendment of Class D Airspace, and Revocation of Class E
Airspace; Fort Pierce, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D airspace and remove
Class E airspace area designated as an extension to Class D airspace in
Fort Pierce, FL, as the Fort Pierce non-directional beacon (NDB) has
been decommissioned and associated approaches into Treasure Coast
International Airport cancelled. This action would also update the
airport's name and geographic coordinates. Controlled airspace is
necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations in the area.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 18, 2022.

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 amend airspace in Fort Pierce, FL, to support IFR
operations in the area.

Comments Invited

    Interested persons are invited to comment on 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 (Docket No. FAA-
2022-0668 and Airspace Docket No. 22-ASO-13) and be submitted in
triplicate to DOT Docket Operations (see ADDRESSES section for the
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov.
    Persons wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments on
this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed stamped
postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments to FAA
Docket No. FAA-2022-0668; Airspace Docket No. 22-ASO-13.'' 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 document may be changed in light of the
comments received. All comments submitted will be available for
examination in the public docket both before and after the comment
closing date. 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 https://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at https://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 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 between 8:00 a.m. and
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal holidays, at the
office of the Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration,
Room 350, 1701 Columbia Avenue, College Park, GA 30337.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA proposes an amendment to Title 14 CFR part 71 to amend
Class D airspace and remove Class E airspace designated as an extension
to a Class D surface area for Treasure Coast International Airport
(formerly St. Lucie County International Airport), Fort Pierce, FL, due
to the decommissioning of the Fort Pierce NDB. The Class D airspace
would be increased to a 4.6-mile radius (formerly 4.2 miles) and the
surface extensions eliminated, as the NDB approaches have been
cancelled. Additionally, this action would update the airport's name,
and the airport's geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's
database, as well as remove the city from the airport descriptor. Also,
this action would replace the term Airport/Facility Directory with the
term Chart Supplement in the Class D description.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000, and 6004, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F,
dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace

designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
FAA Order JO 7400.11F.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
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 proposed rule, when promulgated, will 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2018-0082, dated April 11, 2018
(EASA AD 2018-0082) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW189 helicopters, if equipped with bubble
windows kit part number 8G5620F00111.
    This AD was prompted by a report of a bubble window departing from
the helicopter during flight. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
degradation of the installation of the bubble windows, which could
cause loss of a bubble window during flight, possibly resulting in
damage to the helicopter and injury to persons on the ground. See the
MCAI for additional background information.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2018-0082 specifies procedures for, among other actions,
modifying the left-hand and right-hand bubble windows with an improved
bubble window kit. 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

    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 the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD after evaluating all
pertinent information and determining that the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2018-0082, described previously, as incorporated by reference, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this AD and except as discussed under ``Differences Between this AD and
the MCAI.''

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 2018-0082 is incorporated by
reference in this final rule. This AD, therefore, requires compliance
with EASA AD 2018-0082 in its entirety, through that incorporation,
except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory
text of this 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 2018-0082 that is required for
compliance with EASA AD 2018-0082 is available on the internet at
https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2021-0446.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    The requirements specified in paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (5) of
EASA AD 2018-0082 do not apply to this AD.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.)
authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment procedures for
rules when the agency, for ``good cause'' finds that those procedures
are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.''
Under this section, an agency, upon finding good cause, may issue a
final rule without seeking comment prior to the rulemaking.
    There are currently no domestic operators of these products.
Therefore, the FAA finds that notice and opportunity for prior public
comment are unnecessary and that good cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0446; Project Identifier 2018-
SW-029-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the AD, explain the reason for
any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA will
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this
AD because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this AD.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Andrea
Jimenez, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe and Propulsion Section, FAA, New
York ACO Branch, 1600 Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, NY 11590;
phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
Any commentary that the FAA receives that is not specifically
designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this
rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    Currently, there are no affected U.S.-registered helicopters. If an
affected helicopter is imported and placed on the U.S. Register in the
future, the FAA provides the following cost estimates to comply with
this AD:

                  Estimated Costs for Required Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
32 work-hours x $85 per hour = $2,720.          $2,000           $4,720
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, the FAA has included all known costs
in the 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.
    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 AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This 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 regulation:

    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.
