RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Eclipse Aviation Corporation Model
EA500 Airplanes

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-13-
11, which applies to all Eclipse Aviation Corporation (Eclipse) Model
EA500 airplanes. AD 2007-13-11 was prompted by reports of loss of
primary airspeed indication due to freezing condensation within the
pitot system. AD 2007-13-11 requires operational limitations consisting
of operation only in day visual flight rules (VFR), allowing only a VFR
flight plan, and maintaining operation with two pilots. Since we issued
AD 2007-13-11, Eclipse has developed a design modification to the
pitot/angle-of-attack (AOA) system to eliminate the possibility of
freezing condensation within the pitot/AOA system. Eclipse is
incorporating this modification during production on Model EA500
airplanes starting with serial number (S/N) 000065. Consequently, this
proposed AD would limit the applicability to airplanes under S/N 000065
and require incorporating the modification. This proposed AD would also
retain the operating limitations in AD 2007-13-11 until the
modification is incorporated. We are proposing this AD to prevent long-
term reliance on special operating limitations when a design change
exists that would eliminate the need for the operating limitations.
Incorporating the proposed modification would prevent loss of air
pressure in the pitot system, which could cause erroneous AOA and
airspeed information with consequent loss of control.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 18,
2007.

Discussion

    Reports of three instances of loss of primary airspeed indication
due to freezing condensation within the pitot system on Eclipse Model
EA500 airplanes caused us to issue AD 2007-13-11, Amendment 39-15115
(72 FR 34363, June 22, 2007). The loss of air pressure in the pitot
system could cause the stall warning to become unreliable and the stick
pusher, overspeed warning, and autopilot to not function. The concern
is heightened by the aerodynamic characteristics of the Eclipse Model
EA500 airplane, which relies on the stall warning and the stick pusher
to alert the pilot prior to the loss of aircraft control. The standby
airspeed is reliable and not affected by this failure mode.
    AD 2007-13-11 currently requires the following on all Eclipse Model
EA500 airplanes:
     Incorporating information into the Limitations section of
the airplane flight manual (AFM) requiring operation only in day VFR;
     Allowing only a VFR flight plan; and
     Maintaining operation with two pilots.
    AD 2007-13-11 was considered an interim action until Eclipse could
develop a design modification to the pitot/AOA system that will
eliminate the possibility of freezing condensation within the pitot/AOA
system.
    Eclipse has now developed this design modification and it is being
incorporated at the factory during production on Model EA500 airplanes
starting with S/N 000065.
    We have determined that continued reliance on operating limitations
carries an unnecessary safety risk when there is a known design change
to eliminate the need for the operating limitations. Incorporating the
proposed modification would prevent loss of air pressure in the pitot
system, which could cause erroneous AOA and airspeed information with
consequent loss of control.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Eclipse Aviation Alert Service Bulletin Number SB
500-34-005, Rev B, issued July 10, 2007.
    The service information describes procedures for upgrading the
pitot/AOA

system and modifying the related tubing assembly, which terminates the
operating limitations required in AD 2007-13-11 when incorporated.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all information and
determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist
or develop on other products of the same type design. This proposed AD
would supersede AD 2007-13-11 with a new AD that would change the
Applicability section and would require you to incorporate the design
modification of the pitot/AOA system. This proposed AD would also
retain the operating limitations in AD 2007-13-11 until the
modification is incorporated. This proposed AD would require you to use
the service information described previously to perform these actions.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 64 airplanes in the
U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to do the proposed modification:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Total cost  per   Total cost on
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        airplane      U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 work-hours x $80 per hour = $2,400........................          $7,000           $9,400         $601,600
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Warranty credit will be given to the extent specified in the
service bulletin.

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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket that contains the proposed AD, the
regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information on
the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket

Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>)
is located at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section.
Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive
(AD) 2007-13-11, Amendment 39-15115 (72 FR 34363, June 22, 2007), and
adding the following new AD:

Eclipse Aviation Corporation: Docket No. FAA-2007-29316; Directorate
Identifier 2007-CE-078-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) action by December 18, 2007.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2007-13-11, Amendment 39-15115.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Model EA500 airplanes, serial numbers
000001 through 000064, that are certificated in any category.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) Reports of three instances of loss of primary airspeed
indication due to freezing condensation within the pitot system
prompted us to issue AD 2007-13-11. This AD results from Eclipse
developing a design modification to the pitot/angle-of-attack (AOA)
system that eliminates the possibility of freezing condensation
within the pitot/AOA system. Eclipse is incorporating this
modification during production on Model EA500 airplanes starting
with serial number 000065. We are issuing this AD to prevent long-
term reliance on special operating limitations when a design change
exists that would eliminate the need for the operating limitations.
Incorporating the modification would prevent loss of air pressure in
the pitot system, which could cause erroneous AOA and airspeed
information with consequent loss of control.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0835; Airspace Docket No. 12-ANE-15]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Morrisville, VT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E Airspace at Morrisville, VT, as the
Morrisville-Stowe Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) has been decommissioned
and new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have been developed at
Morrisville-Stowe State Airport. This action enhances the safety and
management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 2, 2013. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under title 1,
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Fornito, Operations Support
Group, Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O.
Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 21, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Morrisville,
VT (77 FR 75596) Docket No. FAA-2012-0835. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E
airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Morrisville, VT, to accommodate the new Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures developed for Morrisville-Stowe State
Airport . The Morrisville-Stowe NDB has been decommissioned, and the
NDB approach cancelled. Accordingly, the extension of Class E airspace
to the northeast of the airport based on the cancelled NDB is
eliminated and the basic radius of controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface is extended from 4 miles to 14.8 miles.
This action is necessary due to the elevated terrain surrounding the
airport.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore, (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends controlled airspace at Morrisville-Stowe State Airport,
Morrisville, VT.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9779-6]

Notice of Availability for Public Review and Comment: Draft EPA
Climate Change Adaptation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Scientific evidence demonstrates that the climate is changing
at an increasingly rapid rate, outside the range to which society has
adapted in the past. Climate change can pose significant challenges to
the EPA's ability to fulfill its mission. The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency is committed to identifying and responding to the
challenges that a changing climate poses to human health and the
environment. It is essential; therefore, that the EPA adapt to climate
change in order to continue fulfilling its statutory, regulatory and
programmatic requirements, chief among these protection of human health
and the environment. Adaptation will involve anticipating and planning
for changes in climate and incorporating considerations of climate
change into many of the Agency's programs, policies, rules and
operations to ensure they are effective under changing climatic
conditions. Adaptation also necessitates close coordination between EPA
and its many partners and stakeholders.
    EPA and other Federal Agencies and Departments have developed draft
Agency Climate Change Adaptation Plans in response to the President's
October 2009 Executive Order (E.O. 13514--``Federal Leadership in
Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance'') and the March, 2011
Implementing Instructions to all Federal Department and Agencies.
Today, EPA announces the availability of a public review draft of its
Agency Plan. The draft Plan will be available for a 60-day public
review.

DATES: The public should respond to the EPA with comment via the public
docket no later than April 9, 2013. Only

comments received by the deadline can be considered by the Agency in
finalizing its plan.

ADDRESSES: If you have questions about responding to this notice,
please contact Catherine Allen by phone<PHONE_NUMBER>), or by mail
(1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460).
    The public review draft of EPA's Climate Change Adaptation Plan has
been posted to a public docket and is available on the Agency docket
Web site at this URL address: http://www.epa.gov/dockets/index.htm. It
is Docket Number EPA-HQ-OA-2012-0247.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is working to fulfill its mission to
protect human health and the environment. Many of the goals EPA is
working to attain (e.g., clean air, safe drinking water) are sensitive
to changes in weather and climate. Until now, EPA has been able to
assume that climate is relatively stable and future climate would
mirror past climate. However, with climate changing at an increasingly
rapid rate and outside the range to which society has adapted in the
past, climate change is posing new challenges to EPA's ability to
fulfill its mission.
    This Plan will help guide the Agency to prepare for future changes
in climate and to incorporate considerations of climate change into its
mission-driven activities. Climate adaptation planning will help EPA
continue to fulfill its mission of protecting human health and the
environment even as the climate changes.
    EPA considers public input to be essential for the development of
this Plan. This input will also help the Agency strengthen its
partnerships with states, tribes, local communities, and non-
governmental organizations--many of which have already begun to develop
and implement adaptation measures.

    Dated: January 24, 2013.

Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request;
Information Collection Request Renewal for the NOX Budget Trading
Program To Reduce the Regional Transport of Ozone

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) is planning to submit
an information collection request (ICR), ``Information Collection

the Regional Transport of Ozone'' (EPA ICR No. 1857.07, OMB Control No.
2060-0445) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing
so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the
proposed information collection as described below. This is a proposed
extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through August 31,
2017. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 28, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2006-0947, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), by

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen VanSickle, Clean Air Markets
Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs (6204J), Environmental
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460;
telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email
address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) 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; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or

technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. 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. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The NOX Budget Trading Program was a market-
based cap and trade program created to reduce emissions of nitrogen
oxides (NOX) from

power plants and other large combustion sources in the eastern United
States. NOX is a prime ingredient in the formation of
ground-level ozone (smog), a pervasive air pollution problem in many
areas of the eastern United States. The NOX Budget Trading
Program was designed to reduce NOX emissions during the warm
summer months, referred to as the ozone season, when ground-level ozone
concentrations are highest. In 2009 the program was replaced by an
ozone-season NOX trading program under the Clean Air
Interstate Rule (CAIR), which has in turn been replaced by ozone-season
NOX trading programs under the Cross-State Air Pollution
Rule (CSAPR). Although the NOX Budget Trading Program was
replaced after the 2008 compliance season, this information collection
is being renewed because some industrial sources in certain States are
still required to monitor and report emissions data to EPA under these
rules, so we will account for their burden. All data received by EPA
will be treated as public 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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are those which participate in the NOX Budget
Trading Program to Reduce the Regional Transport of Ozone.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: mandatory (Sections 110(a) and
301(a) of the Clean Air Act).
    Estimated number of respondents: EPA estimates that there are 122
former NOX Budget Trading Program units that will continue
to conduct monitoring in accordance with Part 75 solely under the
NOX SIP call.
    Frequency of response: Yearly, quarterly, occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 57,586 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
    Total estimated cost: $8,066,616 (per year), includes $3,777,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is no increase in hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB.
