    Abstract: In accordance with the regulations at 40 CFR 79, Subparts
A, B C, and D, Registration of Fuels and Fuel Additives, manufacturers
(including importers) of motor-vehicle gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel
fuel, and additives for those fuels are required to have these products
registered by the EPA prior to their introduction into commerce.
Registration involves providing a chemical description of the fuel or
additive, and certain technical, marketing, and health-effects

information. The development of health-effects data, as required by 40
CFR 79, Subpart F, is the subject of this ICR. The information
collection requirements for Subparts A through D, and the supplemental
notification requirements of Subpart F (indicating how the manufacturer
will satisfy the health-effects data requirements) are covered by a
separate ICR (EPA ICR No. 0309.14, OMB Control No. 2060-0150). The
health-effects data will be used to determine if there are any products
which have evaporative or combustion emissions that may pose an
unreasonable risk to public health, thus meriting further investigation
and potential regulation. This information is required for specific
groups of fuels and additives as defined in the regulations.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers of motor-vehicle
gasoline, motor-vehicle diesel fuel, and additives for those fuels.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 79).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 17,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,053,800 (per year), includes $597,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is a decrease of 1,600 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a revision in the estimate for
conducting the Tier 1 literature search.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments prior to it becoming effective. However, we
invite you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written
comments, data, or views. We also invite comments relating to the
economic, environmental, energy, or federalism impacts that resulted
from adopting this AD. The most helpful comments reference a specific
portion of the AD, explain the reason for any recommended change, and
include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not contain
duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of written
comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should
submit them only one time.
    We will file in the docket all comments that we receive, as well as
a report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA personnel
concerning this rulemaking during the comment period. We will consider
all the comments we receive and may conduct additional rulemaking based
on those comments.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) issued TCCA AD No. CF-2011-
44R1, on February 1, 2012, to correct this same unsafe condition on the
Bell Model 206 L, L-1, L-3, and L-4 helicopters. TCCA advises that
there is no reliable inspection method to detect the cracks on these
blades before blade failure and has reduced the life limit on all
affected blades from 3,600 hours time-in-service (TIS) to 1,400 hours
TIS and mandated removal from service of those blades that exceed the
new life limit. Bell has determined that the fatigue cracks occurred as
a result of the use by a Bell supplier of unapproved manufacturing
processes, which have since been corrected, and are limited to a
specific range of part numbers and serial numbers.
    We issued EAD 2012-02-51 also on February 1, 2012, for Bell Model
206L, 206L-1, 206L-3, and 206L-4 helicopters with certain main rotor
blades installed and reduced the life limit on these blades to correct
the unsafe condition caused by this fatigue cracking.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Canada and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Canada, TCCA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the TCCA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by the TCCA and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these
same type designs.

Related Service Information

    Bell Helicopter Alert Service Bulletin No. 206L-09-159 Revision A,
dated November 13, 2009, describes

procedures to identify and mark the affected main rotor blades,
requires a ``recurring wipe check,'' and requires performing a one-time
radiographic inspection with the results to be determined by Bell.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires reducing the life limit from 3,600 hours time-in-
service (TIS) to 1,400 hours TIS for certain part-numbered and serial-
numbered main rotor blades, revising the life limit in the
Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness or maintenance manual, and recording the revised life
limit on the component history card or equivalent record.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 697 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. At an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour, we estimate
the following costs:
     Determining the main rotor blades' part and serial numbers
will require about 1 work-hour for a cost per helicopter of $85, or
$59,245 for the U.S. fleet.
     Replacing an affected main rotor blade will require about
8 work-hours for labor cost of $680 per helicopter and parts costs of
about $44,958 per helicopter, for a total cost per helicopter of
$45,638.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    Providing an opportunity for public comments prior to adopting
these AD requirements would delay implementing the safety actions
needed to correct this known unsafe condition. Therefore, we find that
the risk to the flying public justifies waiving notice and comment
prior to the adoption of this rule because the required corrective
actions must be accomplished before further flight, a very short period
of time.
    Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate
adoption of this AD, we determined that notice and opportunity for
public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable and contrary to
the public interest and that good cause exists for making this
amendment effective in less than 30 days.

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, I certify that this AD:
    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);
    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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Regulatory Information

    On September 23, 2008, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Security Zone; Port of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico in the
Federal Register (73 FR 54757). We received no letters commenting on
the proposed rule. No public meeting was requested, and none was held.

Background and Purpose

    Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade
Center in New York, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and Flight 93,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued several warnings
concerning the potential for additional terrorist attacks within the
United States. In addition, the ongoing operations in the Middle East
have made it prudent for U.S. ports to be on a higher state of alert
because the Al-Qaeda organization and other similar organizations have
declared an ongoing intention to conduct armed attacks on U.S.
interests worldwide. Due to these concerns, security zones around
passenger vessels are necessary to ensure the safety and protection of
the passengers aboard. As part of the Diplomatic Security and
Antiterrorism Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-399), Congress amended section 7
of the Ports and Waterways Safety Act (PWSA), 33 U.S.C. 1226, to allow
the Coast Guard to take actions, including the establishment of
security zones, to prevent or respond to acts of terrorism against
individuals, vessels, or public or commercial structures. Moreover, the
Coast Guard has authority to establish security zones pursuant to the
Act of June 15, 1917, as amended by the Magnuson Act of August 9, 1950
(50 U.S.C. 191 et seq.) (the ``Magnuson Act''), and implementing the
regulations promulgated by the President in subparts 6.01 and 6.04 of
part 6 of title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The Coast Guard has established similar rules in the ports of San
Juan, St. Thomas, and Frederiksted, St. Croix. This regulation was not
necessary in the past because cruise ships only recently began to hail
at the Port of Mayaguez.
    For the aforementioned reasons, the Coast Guard is establishing
moving and fixed security zones to prevent vessels or persons from
accessing the navigable waters around and under passenger vessels in
the Port of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Due to the continued heightened
security concerns, this rule is necessary to provide for the safety of
the port, the vessels, and the passengers and crew on the vessels.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    Although no comments were received on the NPRM, the COTP would like
to receive comments on a proposed change to the regulated text before
issuing a final rule. The purpose of this change would be to clarify
which vessels are considered cruise ship vessels.
    The pertinent sentence from the regulatory text in the NPRM reads
as follows:

    Cruise ship means a passenger vessel greater than 100 feet in
length that is authorized to carry more than 150 passengers for
hire, except for a ferry.
    The replacement language proposed for the final rule would read as
follows:

    Cruise ship means any vessel over 100 gross register tons,
carrying more than 12 passengers for hire.

    The difference between the two versions is that in the final rule,
instead of being defined by its length, a cruise ship would be defined
by its gross tonnage and can carry more than 12

passengers instead of more than 150 passengers.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this interim 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.
    We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
    This rule may have impact on the public, but these potential
impacts will be minimized for the following reason: there is ample room
for vessels to navigate around this proposed security zone. Also, the
Captain of the Port San Juan may, on a case-by-case basis, allow
persons or vessels to enter the proposed security zone.

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 would affect the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending
to transit, anchor, or moor within 50 yards of a cruise ship in the
Port of Mayaguez. This rule will not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities because cruise ships infrequently
visit the Port of Mayaguez and small vessel traffic would be able to
safely transit around the security zones.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could
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 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 effect 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 5100.1 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 which 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. Paragraph (34)(g) covers regulations
establishing, disestablishing, or changing security zones. This rule
involves establishing a security zone in the Port of Mayaguez. An
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0675; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-192-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

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

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) that applies to certain Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and
0100 airplanes. The existing AD currently requires a one-time
inspection of the main landing gear (MLG) main fitting for cracks, and
repair if necessary. The existing AD also currently requires installing
a placard and revising the airplane flight manual to include procedures
to prohibit the application of brakes during backward movement of the
airplane. This proposed AD would require repetitive eddy current
inspections of the MLG main fitting and rework before further flight as
applicable. This proposed AD results from reports that a final solution
eliminating the cause of the crack initiation mechanism is not yet
available and that repetitive inspections are necessary. We are
proposing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the MLG main fitting,
which could result in reduced structural integrity of the MLG main
fitting.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 1, 2008.

Discussion

    On March 10, 2006, we issued AD 2006-06-07, amendment 39-14516 (71
FR 14363, March 22, 2006), for certain Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and
Mark 0100 airplanes. That AD requires inspecting the main landing gear
(MLG) main fitting for cracks, and repairing if necessary. That AD also
requires installing a placard and revising the airplane flight manual
to include procedures to prohibit the application of brakes during
backward movement of the airplane. That AD resulted from a report that
an MLG main fitting failed on an airplane that was braking while moving
backward. We issued that AD to detect and correct cracks in the MLG
main fitting, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the
MLG main fitting.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2006-06-07, we received reports from The Civil
Aviation Authority--The Netherlands (CAA-NL), which is the
airworthiness authority for the Netherlands, that a final solution
eliminating the cause of the crack initiation mechanism is not yet
available. Therefore, the inspection required by AD 2006-06-07 must now
be done repetitively, until a final solution is developed to adequately
address the identified unsafe condition of this AD.

Relevant Service Information

    Messier-Dowty has issued Service Bulletin F100-32-111, dated
December 20, 2005. The service bulletin describes procedures for doing
a repetitive eddy current inspection of the MLG main fitting for
cracks, and reworking the MLG main fitting as applicable. Accomplishing
the actions specified in the service information is intended to
adequately address the unsafe condition. The CAA-NL mandated the
service information and issued airworthiness directive NL-2006-003,
dated February 7, 2006, to ensure the continued airworthiness of these
airplanes in the Netherlands.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    These airplanes are manufactured in the Netherlands and are type
certificated for operation in the United States under the provisions of
section 21.29 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and
the applicable bilateral airworthiness agreement. Pursuant to this
bilateral airworthiness agreement, the CAA-NL has kept the FAA informed
of the situation described above. We have examined the CAA-NL's
findings, evaluated all pertinent information, and determined that AD
action is necessary for airplanes of this type design that are
certificated for operation in the United States.
    This proposed AD would supersede AD 2006-06-07 and would retain the
requirements of the existing AD. This proposed AD would also require
accomplishing the actions specified in the service information
described previously, except as discussed under ``Differences Between
the Proposed AD and the Service Bulletin.''

Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service Bulletin

    Operators should note that, unlike the procedures described in the
referenced Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin F100-32-111, dated December
20, 2005, the proposed AD would not permit further flight with any
cracks in the MLG main fitting. Due to the safety implications and
consequences of such cracking operators must repair all cracked MGL
main fittings before further flight.

Costs of Compliance

    The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators
to comply with this proposed AD.

                                                                     Estimated Costs

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 have 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 that the 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. See the
ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.
