14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2016-0733; Directorate Identifier 2015-SW-040-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Robinson Helicopter Company Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Robinson Helicopter Company (Robinson) Model R44, R44 II, and R66
helicopters. This proposed AD would require a visual inspection of the
main rotor blade (MRB) and either removing or altering it. This
proposed AD is prompted by a report that a fatigue crack was found at
an MRB's trailing edge and a determination that some MRBs may have
reduced blade thickness due to blending out corrosion. The proposed

actions are intended to prevent an MRB fatigue crack, which could lead
to MRB failure and subsequent loss of helicopter control.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 26, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    We propose to adopt a new AD for Robinson Model R44 and R44 II
helicopters with an MRB part number (P/N) C016-7, Revisions N/C, A
through Z, and AA through AE; and Model R66 helicopters with an MRB P/N
F016-2, Revisions A through E. The proposed AD would require a one-time
inspection of the MRB for a crack, corrosion, dent, nick, or scratch,
and either altering the MRB or removing it from service.
    On February 23, 2015, we issued Special Airworthiness Information
Bulletin (SAIB) SW-15-08 for Robinson Model R44 and R44 II helicopters
with part numbered C016-7 MRBs. SAIB SW-15-08 was prompted by a report
of an in-flight failure of a MRB on a Robinson Model R44 II helicopter,
which resulted in severe MRB vibration that prompted an emergency
landing. SAIB SW-15-08 recommended daily pre-flight visual checks of
the MRB trailing edge and having a qualified technician examine any
damage before further flight. SAIB SW-15-08 also recommended, if
unusual rotor system vibration was detected in flight, landing
immediately and having a qualified mechanic examine the MRBs.
    After we issued SAIB SW-15-08, Robinson published R44 Service
Bulletin SB-89, dated March 30, 2015 (SB-89), and R66 Service Bulletin
SB-13, dated March 30, 2015 (SB-13), recommending inspecting and
modifying the MRB trailing edge. Therefore, on March 31, 2015, we
revised the SAIB and issued SAIB SW-15-08R1 to advise that the MRB
trailing edge has a corner where the blade chord begins to increase
that can result in high stresses. SAIB SW-15-08R1 recommends inspecting
and modifying the MRB by following the actions in the service
information.
    When the SAIBs were issued, we did not consider the reported
incident to be an airworthiness concern that would warrant AD action.
The FAA subsequently determined that some of the affected blades have
been repaired by blending out corrosion in the area of the crack site
radius, resulting in a reduced blade thickness. Also, reports to
Robinson following the SB-89 and SB-13 inspections revealed corrosion
remaining undetected between scheduled maintenance intervals. The
presence of corrosion and a reduction in blade thickness could result
in the development of a fatigue crack on the trailing edge at the
transition radius before the MRB reaches its retirement life. Altering
the MRB by smoothing the transition at the chord increase, as specified
in SB-89 and SB-13, reduces the stress concentration and corrects this
unsafe condition. The proposed actions are intended to prevent a
fatigue crack, which could lead to failure of the MRB and subsequent
loss of helicopter control.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all known relevant
information and determined that an unsafe condition exists and is
likely to exist or develop on other products of these same type
designs.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed SB-89 for Model R44 and R44 II helicopters and SB-13
for Model R66 helicopters. SB-89 and SB-13 provide a one-time procedure
to inspect each MRB for cracks, corrosion, and damage that may indicate
a crack. If there is a crack, corrosion, or any damage, SB-89 and SB-13
specify removing the MRB from service and contacting Robinson.
Otherwise, SB-89 and SB-13 describe procedures to smooth the transition
at the chord increase of each MRB to reduce the stress concentration.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require within 100 hours time-in-service
(TIS) or at the next annual inspection, whichever occurs first,
cleaning the MRB and visually inspecting it for a crack, nick,
corrosion, scratch, or dent.

If there is any crack, nick, corrosion, scratch or dent, this proposed
AD would require repairing it or removing the MRB from service. If the
MRB is repaired, or if there are no cracks, nicks, corrosion,
scratches, or dents, this proposed AD would require altering the MRB.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    This proposed AD would require compliance within the next 100 hours
TIS or at the next annual inspection, whichever occurs first. The
service information recommends compliance within 15 hours TIS or by May
31, 2015, whichever occurs first, for the R44 and R44II helicopters and
10 hours TIS or by May 31, 2015, whichever occurs first, for the R66
helicopters.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 2,236 helicopters of
U.S. Registry and that labor costs average $85 per work hour. Based on
these estimates, we expect the following costs:
     The visual inspection would require 1 work hour. No parts
would be needed, so the cost per helicopter would total $85. The cost
for the U.S. fleet would total $190,060.
     Altering each MRB, if necessary, would require 2 work
hours and $65 for parts. We estimate a total cost of $235 per
helicopter and $525,460 for the U.S. fleet.
     Replacing a MRB, if necessary, would require 3 work hours.
Parts would cost $19,900 for the Model R44 and R44 II and $20,900 for
the R66 helicopter for a total cost of $20,155 and $21,155,
respectively, per MRB.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. 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 to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

    Title: NESHAP for Publicly Owned Treatment Works (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1891.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0428.
    ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on August 31, 2009.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Publicly Owned Treatment Works were proposed on
December 1, 1998 and promulgated on October 26, 1999. These regulations
apply to owners or operators of waste treatment processes and
operations in the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) source
category.
    All new sources must be in compliance with subpart VVV upon startup
or the promulgation date, whichever is later. Owners and operators of
affected sources are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 63,
subpart A, the General Provisions, unless the regulation specifies
otherwise. New sources constructed or reconstructed after the effected
date of the standard are required to submit an application for approval
of construction or reconstruction.
    Generally, respondents are required to submit one-time reports of:
(1) Start of construction of new facilities, and (2) anticipated and
actual startup dates for new facilities. The subpart also requires new
affected sources to submit a notification of compliance status.
    Emission and control requirements for ``existing'' industrial POTWs
are specified by the appropriate NESHAP for the industrial user. In
addition, there are no control requirements for ``existing'' non-
industrial POTW treatment plants. Therefore, there are no subpart VVV
recordkeeping or reporting requirements for ``existing'' sources
covered by this ICR.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at
least five years following the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated
State or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated
authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.
    An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15 are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one
hour per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose and provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions, develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information. All
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Publicly owned treatment works.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 6.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially, semiannually and
annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 14.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,114.06 in labor costs exclusively.
There are neither capital/startup nor operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1)

The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the current
growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so
there is no significant change in the overall burden.

Airworthiness Directives; Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); rescission.

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

SUMMARY: We propose to rescind Airworthiness Directive (AD) 200-07-11
for all Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A Model P-180 airplanes. That AD
was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by the airworthiness authority for Italy. We issued that AD to
prevent the brake hydraulic fluid from leaking because of the brake
assembly rods contacting the brake valve tubing, which could result in
the inability to adequately stop the airplane during ground operations.
Since we issued that AD, we have determined this is no longer an unsafe
condition and that regularly scheduled annual inspections address this
subject.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 4,
2012.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

Discussion

    On March 29, 2000, we issued AD 2000-07-11, Amendment 39-11665 (65
FR 19305, April 11, 2000). That AD required actions intended to address
an unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2000-07-11 (65 FR 19305, April 11, 2000), we
determined the unsafe condition no longer exists. Review of the Piaggio
Model P-180 service history and maintenance requirements shows that
regularly scheduled annual inspections address this issue. Therefore,
the need to continue to address this subject as an unsafe condition
through an AD is not necessary.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued 2012-
0095-CN, dated May 31, 2012 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI'').
The MCAI states:

    After a 1999 training session during which conflicting inputs
were given to the brake pads between pilot and copilot, a brake
system rod was found deflected. The rod, in this bent condition,
could possibly wear and damage the tubings connected to the brake
valves, with consequent fluid leakage.
    Prompted by these findings, PAI issued Service Bulletin (SB) 80-
0107, providing instructions for repetitive inspections of the
affected rods and tubings. As this was considered to be a
potentially unsafe condition, Registro Aeronautico Italiano (RAI),
the predecessor of ENAC (Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile),
issued Prescrizione di Aeronavigabilit[agrave] (PA) No. 1999-219,
which required the repetitive inspections as detailed in PAI SB 80-
0107 and, depending on findings, replacement of rod or tubing.
    Since that AD was issued, the repetitive inspections of SB 80-
0107 have been included as regular tasks into the maintenance
schedule of both Avanti and Avanti II aeroplanes. In addition, no
other cases of brake system bent rods have been reported, nor have
any rods been replaced for damage in the P.180 fleet since that
occurrence. Based on the available information, this is no longer
considered to be an unsafe condition. Prompted by this
determination, PAI issued Revision ZZ of SB 80-0107, which cancels
the original SB 80-0107.
    For the reasons described above, this Notice is issued to cancel
ENAC PA no. 1999-219 dated 03 May 1999.

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

FAA's Determination

    We propose this AD because we evaluated all available information
and determined the existing AD is no longer necessary.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would rescind AD 2000-07-11 (65 FR 19305, April
11, 2000).

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify this proposed regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) 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 to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-11665 (65 FR
19305, April 11, 2000), and adding the following new AD:

Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A.: Docket No. FAA-2012-0755;
Directorate Identifier 99-CE-65-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by September 4, 2012.

(b) Applicability

    This AD applies to Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Model P-180
airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(c) Affected ADs

    This AD rescinds AD 2000-07-11 (65 FR 19305, April 11, 2000).

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association
(ATA) of America Code 32; Landing Gear.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 13, 2012.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Rule 15a-4; SEC File No. 270-7; OMB Control No. 3235-0010]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension: Rule 15a-4, SEC File No. 270-7, OMB Control No. 3235-
0010.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 15a-4 (17 CFR 240.15a-4) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et. seq.) (the ``Exchange Act'') permits a natural
person member of a securities exchange who terminates his or her
association with a registered broker-dealer to continue to transact
business on the exchange while the Commission reviews his or her
application for registration as a broker-dealer if the exchange files a
statement indicating that there does not appear to be any ground for
disapproving the application. The total annual burden imposed by Rule
15a-4 is approximately 42 hours, based on approximately 10 responses
(10 Respondents x 1 Response/Respondent), each requiring approximately
4.23 hours to complete.
    The Commission uses the information disclosed by applicants in Form
BD: (1) To determine whether the applicant meets the standards for
registration set forth in the provisions of the Exchange Act; (2) to
develop a central information resource where members of the public may
obtain relevant, up-to-date information about broker-dealers, municipal
securities dealers and government securities broker-dealers, and where
the Commission, other regulators and SROs may obtain information for
investigatory purposes in connection with securities litigation; and
(3) to develop statistical information about broker-dealers, municipal
securities dealers and government securities broker-dealers. Without
the information disclosed in Form BD, the Commission could not
effectively implement policy objectives of the Exchange Act with
respect to its investor protection function.
    The statement submitted by the exchange assures the Commission that
the applicant, in the opinion of the exchange, is qualified to transact
business on the exchange during the time that the applications are
reviewed.
    Completing and filing Form BD is mandatory in order for a natural
person member of a securities exchange who terminates his or her
association with a registered broker-dealer to obtain the 45-day
extension under Rule 15a-4. Compliance with Rule 15a-4 does not involve
the collection of confidential information. Please note that an agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid
control number.
    Comments should be directed to (i) Desk Officer for the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an e-mail to: Shagufta_
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley Martinson,
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an e-mail to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days
of this notice.

    Dated: May 19, 2010.

Deputy Secretary.
