further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 147

[Docket No. USCG-2010-0448]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; DEEPWATER HORIZON at Mississippi Canyon 252 Outer
Continental Shelf MODU in the Gulf of Mexico

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule; change of effective period.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is extending the effective period for the
temporary safety zone around the riser for the DEEPWATER HORIZON, a
Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), at Mississippi Canyon 252, in the
Outer Continental Shelf. The safety zone in place at 33 CFR 147.T08-849
terminates on August 26, 2010. Extending the effective period for this
safety zone provides continued and uninterrupted protection of
personnel involved in ongoing response efforts. Continuing the safety
zone around the riser will significantly reduce the threat of
collisions, oil spills, and releases of natural gas, and thereby
protect the safety of life, property, and the environment. Response
efforts continue at the water's surface and subsurface.

DATES: 33 CFR 147.T08-849 temporarily added at 75 FR 32273, June 8,
2010, effective from June 8, 2010 to August 26, 2010, will continue in
effect through November 26, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2010-0448 and are available online
by going to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG-2010-0448 in the
``Keyword'' box, and then clicking ``Search.'' They are also available
for inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility (M-30),
U.S. Department of Transportation, West Building Ground Floor, Room
W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590, between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    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 an NPRM. This rule extends the existing
temporary safety zone around the riser for the DEEPWATER HORIZON, a
Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), which is currently set to expire
on August 26, 2010. This extension is necessary to continue protecting
the responders and to prevent entry into the area where both response
and relief efforts are still ongoing and are expected to continue after
the spill is stopped. Failing to delay the effective day of this
extension pending completion of notice and comment rulemaking is
impracticable and contrary to the public interest because it would
cause a gap in the ability to enforce the needed safety zone for
protection of all responders, the response efforts, and the
environment.
    For the same reasons, 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.

Basis and Purpose

    The safety zone in place pursuant to the Temporary Final Rule at
docket USCG-2010-0448 extended the safety zone initially enforced for
the DEEPWATER HORIZON riser from April 26, 2010 through May 26, 2010.
The safety zone was enforced through actual notice from May 26, 2010
until June 8, 2010 to ensure seamless protection of those involved in
the response efforts. On June 8, 2010, the Coast Guard established a
safety zone in the deepwater area of the Gulf of Mexico in response to
the sinking of the DEEPWATER HORIZON, a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit
(MODU), near Mississippi Canyon 252 with a center point at 28-44-18N
and 088-21-54W. See 75 FR 32273. This temporary safety zone is set to
expire on August 26, 2010. The temporary safety zone created by this
rule ensures that there is no gap in authority to protect all
responders, the response efforts, and the environment.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is extending the effective date of a safety zone
encompassing all areas within 500 meters around the position 28-44-18N
latitude and 088-21-54W longitude.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    This rule is not a significant regulatory action due to the
location of the riser for the MODU DEEPWATER HORIZON--on the Outer
Continental Shelf--and its distance from both land and safety fairways.
Vessels traversing waters near the proposed safety zone will be able to
safely travel around the zone without incurring additional costs.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. 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. This rule will affect the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending
to transit or anchor in Mississippi Canyon block 252.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact or a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will enforce a safety zone around a MODU that is in an area of the
Gulf of Mexico not frequented by vessel traffic and is not in close
proximity to a safety fairway. Further, vessel traffic can pass safely
around the safety zone without incurring additional costs.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    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.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

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 an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g), of
the Instruction, from further environmental documentation since
implementation of this action will not result in any significant
cumulative impacts on the human environment; does not involve a
substantial change to existing environmental conditions; and is
consistent with Federal, State, and/or local laws or administrative
determinations relating to the environment. This rule involves
establishing a safety zone.
    Pursuant to paragraph (34)(g) of the Instruction, an environmental
checklist and a categorical exclusion checklist are available in the
docket indicated under ADDRESSES.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)),
EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What information collection activity or ICR does this action apply
to?

    Title: Request for Contractor Access to TSCA CBI.
    ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1250.11.
    OMB control number: OMB Control No. 2070-0075.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on August 31,
2018. 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 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after
appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, are 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 for certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Certain employees of companies working under contract to
EPA require access to TSCA confidential business information collected
under the authority of TSCA in order to perform their official duties.
The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), which is
responsible for maintaining the security of TSCA confidential business
information, requires that all individuals desiring access to TSCA CBI
obtain and annually renew official clearance to TSCA CBI. As part of
the process for obtaining TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires certain
information about the contracting company and about each contractor
employee requesting TSCA CBI clearance, primarily the name, Social
Security Number and EPA identification badge number of the employee,
the type of TSCA CBI clearance requested and the justification for such
clearance, and the signature of the employee to an agreement with
respect to access to and use of TSCA CBI. This information collection
applies to the reporting activities associated with contractor
personnel applying for new or renewed clearance for TSCA CBI.
    Responses to the collection of information are voluntary but
failure to provide the requested information will prevent a contractor
employee from obtaining clearance for TSCA CBI. Respondents may claim
all or part of a response confidential. EPA will disclose information
that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent
permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14
and 40 CFR part 2.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.6
hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related
materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities
and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here:
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR are companies under contract to the Environmental Protection
Agency to provide certain services, whose employees must have access to
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) confidential business information
to perform their duties.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 21.
    Frequency of response: Annually.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
1.0.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 341 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $19,305. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $19,305 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease of 142 hours in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease reflects a decrease in the number of contractor
employees that need TSCA CBI clearance. This change is an adjustment.

IV. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

" Grahame, Thomas" < Thomas. Grahame@ HQ. DOE. GOV>

06/ 19/ 2006 06: 26 PM T o Jason Burnett/ DC/ USEPA/ US@ EPA c c " Daniels, Jarad" < Jarad. Daniels@ hq. doe. gov> S u b j e c t is it fine PM or traffic emissions? the need to use multi pollutant models to ensure robust findings Jason, I would like to add to the discussion about whether it is fine PM generally, or traffic emissions, which are most likely to be associated with morbidity and mortality, especially in daily health effects studies. A new 2006 study ( not previously brought to the attention of EPA, at least by me, and attached below the signature block) has come to my attention. I have included a short analysis of it in the attached MS Word document, which also includes a fuller discussion of the Stieb et al ( 2000) study, now that I have got hold of a copy of it.

<< ADDITIONAL DAILY MORTALITY STUDY ANALYSIS. doc>>

Long story short, a summary of both this new study, as well as of the seven studies ( including Stieb et al) in the R& L memo examining 24 hour mortality and morbidity with 98th percentile concentrations below that of the Lipfert et al ( 2000) study of Philadelphia ( e. g., below 44.2 µ g/ m3), is this: fine PM is never significantly associated with morbidity or mortality in such studies in a multi pollutant model. In several cases fine PM wasn't significantly associated even in single pollutant models.

Further, authors of studies included in the R& L memo state that single pollution model results are not robust, compared to the multi pollutant model results which find no PM associations. Here is a quote from a 1998 Delfino et al study examined and referenced in the attachment and which I believe is also included in the CD: " Although there were adverse effects of estimated PM2.5 on ER visits for respiratory illnesses among the elderly, the association was unstable and completely confounded by both temperature and O3... it is reasonable to accept only the most robust findings as meaningful to community health  therefore the present discussion will focus on the most notable finding of adverse affects of O3 among the elderly " ( italics ours)

In summary, then, a careful reading of the seven studies in the R& L memo as well as supporting evidence suggests that:

( 1) There is no robust evidence that fine PM mass per se is associated with daily adverse health effects, certainly in studies with concentrations at levels below 44.2 µ g/ m3, in the studies cited in the R& L memo. ( I haven't examined the Lipfert et al ( 2000) study which is said to have made findings at that 98th percentile concentration.)

( 2) The studies consistently find, in robust multi pollutant modeling, that it is vehicular emissions and not fine PM per se, which is consistently linked with daily health effects ( the Stieb et al study is of a town with a refinery, and some emissions associated with health effects might reflect refinery activities there).

( 3) The findings   that in multi pollutant modeling it is not fine PM but rather other emissions, usually vehicular emission, which are associated with adverse health effects   are the same findings as made in the new 2006 study which is attached. This new study shows that although the traffic volume density variable is most strongly related to health effects in single pollutant models, several pollution variables ( including fine PM) are also significantly associated. But in multi pollutant models, while the traffic volume density variable remains significant and barely changes in size, none of the pollution variables retain significance except peak ozone.

( 4) These findings are consistent with other studies examined in the lengthier DOE comments that have been provided, e. g. studies using the newest epidemiology. Such studies, such as those of Schwartz et al ( 2005) and Gold et al ( 2005), use vehicular emissions data ( black carbon fine PM) which accurately reflects the exposure of subjects to these emissions, and these studies   although of different design that the 24 hour studies using gases with fine PM in multi pollutant analysis   find that it is the vehicular PM but not the other types of PM which are associated with adverse health effects.

In short, the evidence appears to be strong that a national 24 hour standard should not be based upon findings in any of the seven studies in the R& L memo with 98th percentile concentrations below 44.2 µ g/ m3, including especially Burnett and Goldberg ( 2003), because ( 1) these findings are from non robust single pollutant models; ( 2) three of the seven have insignificant results even in single pollutant models; ( 3) significant single pollutant findings are contradicted by later, robust multi pollutant studies by the same authors ( or within the same study, e. g., Stieb et al, 2000); and ( 4) are also contradicted by the strong weight of evidence in the newer, more sophisticated studies, including the 2006 study attached. Such weak and contradictory evidence does not appear to have the analytical strength upon which to base new a national ambient air quality standard for fine PM at 35 µ g/ m3, a level which seems to be based upon the 98th percentile concentration in Burnett and Goldberg ( 2003), with an added " margin of safety."

39-19633; AD 2019-08-12]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.; Canadair Limited) Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Viking Air Limited Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-215T Variant) and CL-215-6B11
(CL-415 Variant) airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that a
supplier fabricated Teflon parts with a charge of 15 percent fiberglass
content instead of the specified 5 percent fiberglass content. This AD
requires repetitive detailed visual inspections of the aileron control
system cables and flap interconnect system cables for damage or
disconnected cables, corrective actions if necessary, and replacement
of the Teflon parts in the aileron control systems, aileron/rudder
interconnect, and aileron power unit beam. The replacement of these
parts terminates the repetitive inspections. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective June 13, 2019.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of June 13,
2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Viking Air Limited
Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-215T Variant) and CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant)
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on February 8,
2019 (84 FR 2791). The NPRM was prompted by a report that a supplier
fabricated Teflon parts with a charge of 15 percent fiberglass content
instead of the specified 5 percent fiberglass content. The NPRM
proposed to require repetitive detailed visual inspections of the
aileron control system cables and flap interconnect system cables for
damage or disconnected cables, corrective actions if necessary, and
replacement of the Teflon parts in the aileron control systems,
aileron/rudder interconnect, and aileron power unit beam. The NPRM
proposed that the replacement of these parts would terminate the
repetitive inspections.
    We are issuing this AD to address parts manufactured with this
higher percentage of fiberglass, which may cause deterioration of
control cables and adjacent parts due to greater friction should they
come into contact, which could lead to reduced controllability of the
airplane.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2018-27, dated October
12, 2018 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Viking Air Limited Model CL-215-6B11 (CL-215T
Variant) and CL-215-6B11 (CL-415 Variant) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    It was found that a supplier fabricated TeflonTM
parts with a charge of 15% fiberglass content in lieu of the
required 5%. Parts manufactured with this higher percentage of
fiberglass may cause wear and rupture of control cables due to
greater friction if contacted [which could lead to reduced
controllability of the airplane].
    This [Canadian] AD mandates a [detailed] visual inspection of
the aileron control system cables and flap interconnect system
cables in the area of the aileron power control unit. The inspection
is required to ensure that there is no cable damage or disconnect
until the replacement of the TeflonTM parts has been
completed in the aileron control system, the aileron/rudder
interconnect and the aileron power unit beam. This [Canadian] AD
also requires replacement of the TeflonTM parts.

    Signs of damage include broken wires, unusual wear, or fraying
cables. 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-2018-1070.

Comments

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

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 215-3185, Revision 1, dated
January 28, 2014; and Service Bulletin 215-4476, Revision 1, dated
January 28, 2014. The service information describes procedures for a
detailed visual inspection in the area of the aileron power control
unit for damaged or disconnected aileron control system cables or flap
interconnect system cables, and corrective actions. These documents are
distinct since they apply to different airplane models in different
configurations.
    Bombardier has also issued Service Bulletin 215-3186, Revision 3,
dated September 29, 2015; and Service

Bulletin 215-4477, Revision 2, dated September 29, 2015. The service
information describes procedures for replacement of Teflon parts in the
aileron control system, the aileron/rudder interconnect, and the
aileron power unit beam. These documents are distinct since they apply
to different airplane models in different configurations.
    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.

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 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 and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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 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.
