Airworthiness Directives; 328 Support Services GmbH (Type
Certificate Previously Held by AvCraft Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild
Dornier GmbH; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH) Model 328-100 and -300 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed 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:

    During maintenance, it has been discovered that at the
installation of the fixation brackets for rudder spring tabs and
trim tabs an incorrect installation of the fixation brackets may
have occurred. * * *

    If the orientation of the fixation bracket is reversed or upside
down the screws may not reach into the helicoil thread to a
sufficient depth.
    An incorrect installation, if not detected and corrected, could
lead to an in-flight failure of the fixation brackets for rudder
spring tabs and trim tabs resulting in and reduced control of the
aeroplane.

The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 23, 2011.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2010-0134, dated June 30, 2010 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    During maintenance, it has been discovered that at the
installation of the fixation brackets for rudder spring tabs and
trim tabs an incorrect installation of the fixation brackets may
have occurred. It is possible that the fixation bracket assembly may
be incorrectly orientated and as a result the position of the
helicoil inserts on the fixation bracket may be incorrect.
    If the orientation of the fixation bracket is reversed or upside
down the screws may not reach into the helicoil thread to a
sufficient depth.
    An incorrect installation, if not detected and corrected, could
lead to an in-flight failure of the fixation brackets for rudder
spring tabs and trim tabs resulting in and reduced control of the
aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, the TC [type
certificate] holder has developed a one-time inspection to detect
and correct any incorrect installations of the fixation brackets for
rudder spring tabs and trim tabs.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires a one-time
[detailed] inspection of all rudder trim- and spring tab fixation
brackets, the correction of any parts that are incorrectly installed
and the reporting of all findings to the TC holder. This AD is
considered to be an interim action and an improved design bracket
attachment is expected to be developed.

The detailed inspection includes determining if the helicoil inserts of
the rudder trim tab and spring tab fixation brackets are correctly
oriented and are facing the fitting surface, and if not, inspecting the
fittings and helicoil inserts for correct installation. The corrective
actions include re-orienting the fittings and helicoil inserts, and
replacing the fitting with a serviceable one. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    328 Support Services has issued Service Bulletins SB-328-55-493
(for Model 328-100 airplanes) and SB-328J-55-245 (for Model 328-300
airplanes), both dated April 21, 2010, both including a Compliance
Report. The actions described in this service information are intended
to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

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 proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 55 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 2 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor

rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $9,350, or $170 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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-560, OMB Control No. 3235-0622]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Interagency Statement on Sound Practices.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in the
Interagency Statement on Sound Practices Concerning Elevated Risk
Complex Structured Finance Activities (``Statement'') under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange
Act'') and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b et seq.)
(``Advisers Act'').
    The Statement was issued by the Commission, together with the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
and the Office of Thrift Supervision (together, the ``Agencies''), in
May 2006. The Statement describes the types of internal controls and
risk management procedures that the Agencies believe are particularly
effective in assisting financial institutions to identify and address
the reputational, legal, and other risks associated with elevated risk
complex structured finance transactions.
    The primary purpose of the Statement is to ensure that these
transactions receive enhanced scrutiny by the institution and to ensure
that the institution does not participate in illegal or inappropriate
transactions.
    The Commission estimates that approximately 5 registered broker-
dealers or investment advisers will spend an average of approximately
25 hours per year complying with the Statement. Thus, the total
compliance burden is estimated to be approximately 125 burden-hours per
year.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. 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 email to:
