RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Leonardo S.p.a Model AW189 helicopters. This proposed AD
was prompted by a report of an incorrect connection of the inflation
hoses to the tee manifolds of the inflation line on the emergency
flotation system (EFS) assembly. This proposed AD would require
visually inspecting the yellow sleeves and hoses installed on each EFS
assembly and depending on the inspection results, accomplishing the
corrective actions in the applicable service information as specified
in a European Aviation Safety Agency (now European Union Aviation
Safety Agency) (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by
reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 30,
2021.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2018-0279, dated December 14, 2018
(EASA AD 2018-0279), to correct an unsafe condition for Leonardo S.p.a.
(formerly Finmeccanica Helicopter Division, AgustaWestland) Model AW189
helicopters.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a discrepancy found
during a maintenance inspection related to the connection of the
inflation hoses to the helicopter tee manifolds. EASA states the yellow
sleeve on the right-hand (RH) aft EFS assembly was installed on the
straight-to-straight hose instead of the straight-to-45 degree hose,
which caused the two hoses to be incorrectly connected to the tee
manifolds at the inflation line. The FAA is proposing this AD to
prevent partial inflation of the flotation bags which could prevent a
timely egress from the helicopter and consequent injury to helicopter
occupants. See EASA AD 2018-0279 for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2018-0279 requires a visual inspection of each affected EFS
assembly for correct installation of the yellow sleeves and proper
connection of the inflation hoses to the float assembly and the bottle
assembly. Depending on these inspection results, if an incorrect
installation of the yellow sleeve or an incorrect connection of the
inflation hoses is detected, EASA AD 2018-0279 requires, before next
flight, removing incorrectly installed yellow sleeves, and incorrectly
installed hoses, restoring markings on re-installed yellow sleeves, and
re-connecting or re-installing hoses

in accordance with the applicable service information. EASA AD 2018-
0279 also prohibits installing any affected EFS assembly on any
helicopter.
    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

    These products have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other helicopters of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2018-0279, described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this proposed AD and except as discussed under
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the EASA AD.''

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use certain civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2018-0279 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2018-0279 in its entirety through that incorporation, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading
of a particular section in EASA AD 2018-0279 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 EASA AD 2018-
0279. Service information specified in EASA AD 2018-0279 that is
required for compliance with it will be available at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-
0565 after the FAA final rule is published.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2018-0279 applies to Model AW189 helicopters, all serial
numbers (S/Ns), whereas this proposed AD would only apply to Model
AW189 helicopters with EFS assemblies having certain part-numbered aft
assemblies with certain S/Ns installed.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 4 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85
per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD.
    Visually inspecting each EFS assembly would take about 0.75 work-
hours for an estimated cost of $64 per inspection and $260 for the U.S.
fleet.
    Performing the corrective actions on each EFS assembly would take
about 1.25 work-hours for an estimated cost of $113 per EFS assembly.

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 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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

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 airworthiness
directive:

Leonardo S.p.a.: Docket No. FAA-2021-0565; Project Identifier 2018-
SW-111-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by August 30, 2021.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW189 helicopters,
certificated in any category, with an affected emergency flotation
system (EFS) assembly as defined in European Aviation Safety Agency
(now European Union Aviation Safety Agency) (EASA) AD 2018-0279,
dated December 14, 2018 (EASA AD 2018-0279).

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft Service Component (JASC) Codes: 3212, Emergency
Flotation Section; 2560, Emergency Equipment.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This proposed AD was prompted by a report of an incorrect
connection of the inflation hoses to the tee manifolds of the
inflation line on the EFS assembly. The FAA is issuing this AD to
detect incorrect installation of the inflation hoses on the EFS
assembly. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in
partial inflation of

the flotation bags in a ditching event, preventing a timely egress
from the helicopter and consequent injury to the helicopter
occupants.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, EASA AD 2018-0279.

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2018-0279

    (1) Where EASA AD 2018-0279 requires compliance in terms of
flight hours, this AD requires using hours time-in-service.
    (2) Where EASA AD 2018-0279 requires compliance from its
effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this
AD.
    (3) Where the service information required by EASA AD 2018-0279
specifies recording compliance with the service bulletin in the
helicopter logbook, this AD does not include that requirement.
    (4) Where EASA AD 2018-0279 identifies all Model AW189
helicopters, all serial numbers in the applicability, this AD is
only applicable to Model AW189 with an affected EFS assembly as
defined in the definitions paragraph of the EASA AD.
    (5) This AD does not require the ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD
2018-0279.

(i) No Reporting Requirement

    Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2018-0279
specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD
does not include that requirement.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
directly to the manager of the International Validation Branch, send
it to the attention of the person identified in paragraph (k)(2) of

40 CFR Part 55

[OAR-2004-0091; FRL-8731-5]

Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations Consistency Update for
California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'').

ACTION: Final rule; consistency update.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing the updates of the Outer Continental Shelf
(``OCS'') Air Regulations proposed in the Federal Register on August 13
and 20, 2008. Requirements applying to OCS sources located within 25
miles of states' seaward boundaries must be updated periodically to
remain consistent with the requirements of the corresponding onshore
area (``COA''), as mandated by section 328(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 (``the Act''). The portions of the OCS air
regulations that are being updated pertain to the requirements for OCS
sources for which the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control
District (Santa Barbara County APCD) and Ventura County Air Pollution
Control District (Ventura County APCD) are the designated COA. The
intended effect of approving the requirements contained in ``Santa
Barbara County Air Pollution Control District Requirements Applicable
to OCS Sources'' (August, 2008) and ``Ventura County Air Pollution
Control District Requirements Applicable to OCS Sources'' (July, 2008)
is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the
requirements onshore.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on November 21, 2008.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of
November 21, 2008.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number OAR-2004-0091 for this
action. The index to the docket is available electronically at
www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne
Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents in the docket
are listed in the index, some information may be publicly available
only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material), and some

Table of Contents

I. Background
II. Public Comment
III. EPA Action
IV. Administrative Requirements

I. Background

    On August 13, 2008 (73 FR 47114) and August 20, 2008 (73 FR 49136),
EPA proposed to approve requirements into the OCS Air Regulations
pertaining to Santa Barbara County APCD and Ventura County APCD. These
requirements are being promulgated in response to the submittal of
rules from these California air pollution control agencies. EPA has
evaluated the proposed requirements to ensure that they are rationally
related to the attainment or maintenance of federal or state ambient
air quality standards or Part C of title I of the Act, that they are
not designed expressly to prevent exploration and development of the
OCS and that they are applicable to OCS sources. 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has
also evaluated the rules to ensure that they are not arbitrary or
capricious. 40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded
administrative or procedural rules.
    Section 328(a) of the Act requires that EPA establish requirements
to control air pollution from OCS sources located within 25 miles of
states' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore requirements.
To comply with this statutory mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable
onshore rules into part 55 as they exist onshore. This limits EPA's
flexibility in deciding which requirements will be incorporated into
part 55 and prevents EPA from making substantive changes to the
requirements it incorporates. As a result, EPA may be incorporating
rules into part 55 that do not conform to all of EPA's state
implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain requirements of the Act.
Consistency updates may result in the inclusion of state or local rules
or regulations into part 55, even though the same rules may ultimately
be disapproved for inclusion as part of the SIP. Inclusion in the OCS
rule does not imply that a rule meets the requirements of the Act for
SIP approval, nor does it imply that the rule will be approved by EPA
for inclusion in the SIP.

II. Public Comment

    EPA's proposed actions provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received no comments on the proposed actions.

III. EPA Action

    In this document, EPA takes final action to incorporate the
proposed changes into 40 CFR part 55. No changes were made to the
proposed actions. EPA is approving the proposed actions under section
328(a)(1) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7627. Section 328(a) of the Act
requires that EPA establish requirements to control air pollution from
OCS sources located within 25 miles of states' seaward boundaries that
are the same as onshore requirements. To comply with this statutory
mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into Part 55 as
they exist onshore.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to establish
requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources located within
25 miles of States' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore air
control requirements. To comply with this statutory mandate, EPA must
incorporate applicable onshore rules into part 55 as they exist
onshore. 42 U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40 CFR 55.12. Thus, in promulgating OCS
consistency updates, EPA's role is to maintain consistency between OCS
regulations and the regulations of onshore areas, provided that they
meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this action simply
updates the existing OCS requirements to make them consistent with
requirements onshore, without the exercise of any policy discretion by
EPA. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or

safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
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, nor does it impose
substantial direct compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempt
tribal law.
    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq., OMB has approved the information collection requirements
contained in 40 CFR part 55 and, by extension, this update to the
rules, and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0249. Notice of OMB's
approval of EPA Information Collection Request (``ICR'') No. 1601.06
was published in the Federal Register on March 1, 2006 (71 FR 10499-
10500). The approval expires January 31, 2009. As EPA previously
indicated (70 FR 65897-65898 (November 1, 2005)), the annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for collection of information under
40 CFR part 55 is estimated to average 549 hours per response. Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or 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; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
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.
    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 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on
the form and/or instrument, if applicable. In addition, the table in 40
CFR part 9 of currently approved OMB control numbers for various
regulations lists the regulatory citations for the information
requirements contained in 40 CFR part 55.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by December 22, 2008. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

Extensions:
    Rule 12d1-3

    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 this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Exchange Act Rule 12d1-3 (17 CFR 240.12d1-3) requires a
certification that a security has been approved by an exchange for
listing and registration pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78l(d)) to be filed with the
Commission. The information required under Rule 12d1-3 must be filed
with the Commission and is publicly available. We estimate that it
takes approximately one-half hour to provide the information required
under Rule 12d1-3 and that the information is filed by approximately
688 respondents annually for a total annual reporting burden of 344
burden hours (0.5 hours per response x 688 responses).
    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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following website, 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:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Charles Riddle, Acting Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o
Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30
days of this notice.
