[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: Each LOMR was finalized as in the table below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication.
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation has
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and also are used to
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0409; Directorate Identifier 2011-SW-055-AD;
Amendment 39-17020; AD 2011-18-52]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Agusta S.p.A. Helicopters

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

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are publishing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model AB139 and AW139 helicopters that
requires establishing a revised life limit for each tail rotor (T/R)
blade and updating the helicopter's historical records, repetitively
inspecting T/R blades for a crack, and replacing certain T/R blades.
This AD is prompted by a fatal accident involving an Agusta Model AW139
helicopter, which may have been caused by cracks in a T/R blade. These
actions are intended to detect and prevent a crack in a T/R blade,
which could lead to failure of a T/R blade and subsequent loss of
control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 3, 2012 to all persons except
those persons to whom it was made immediately effective by Emergency AD
2011-18-52, issued on August 25, 2011, which contained the requirements
of this AD.

Discussion

    On August 26, 2011, we issued Emergency AD No. 2011-18-52 for the
Agusta AB139 and AW139 helicopters. The Emergency AD incorrectly lists
the effective date as August 26, 2011, when the correct date is August
25, 2011, which is the issue date listed above the signature block.
That Emergency AD requires establishing a revised life limit for each
T/R blade and updating the helicopter's historical records,
repetitively inspecting T/R blades for a crack, and replacing certain
T/R blades. That action was prompted by a fatal accident involving an
Agusta Model AW139 helicopter, which may have been caused by cracks in
a T/R blade. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could
result in failure of a T/R blade and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued has
issued EASA Emergency AD No. 2011-0156-E, dated August 25, 2011, to
correct an unsafe condition for the Agusta Model AB139 and AW139
helicopters. EASA advises that in early 2011, there was a reported
occurrence of T/R dynamic ``unbalance'' on a Model AW139 helicopter.
Pending the results of the investigation into that occurrence, EASA
issued AD No. 2011-0081, dated May 9, 2011, to require, as a
precautionary measure, repetitive inspections of the T/R blades. After
that AD was issued, a fatal accident occurred with another Model AW139
helicopter on August 19, 2011, possibly caused by cracks in a T/R
blade. EASA advises that this condition, if not detected and corrected,
could lead to a T/R structural

failure, resulting in loss of control of the helicopter.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Italy and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Italy, EASA, its technical representative,
has notified us of the unsafe condition described in their AD. We are
issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by EASA
and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other helicopters of these same type designs. This AD
contains minor editorial changes but is otherwise consistent with the
Emergency AD, and will neither increase to economic burden on any
operator nor increase the scope of the Emergency AD.

Related Service Information

    Agusta has issued Mandatory Bollettino Tecnico (BT) No. 139-265,
dated August 25, 2011 (BT No. 139-265), which supersedes Agusta BT No.
139-251, dated May 6, 2011, for the Model AB139 and AW139 helicopters.
The BT specifies, within 25 flight hours and at subsequent intervals of
every 25 flight hours thereafter, visually inspecting the T/R blades,
part number (P/N) 3G6410A00131 or P/N 4G6410A00131, for a crack or
signs of damage using a mirror, magnifying glass (5X or greater), and a
``hand torch'' (flashlight). If there is a crack or signs of damage,
the BT specifies sending the damaged blade along with certain data to
the manufacturer. In addition, for helicopters with more than 600
flight hours or more than 1,500 landings, whichever occurs first, the
BT specifies replacing the T/R blades with blades that have less than
600 flight hours and less than 1,500 landings. The BT specifies sending
certain data to the manufacturer regarding the removed T/R blades. EASA
classified the BT as mandatory and issued Emergency AD No. 2011-0156-E,
dated August 25, 2011, to ensure the continued airworthiness of these
helicopters.

AD Requirements

    For Agusta Model AB139 and AW139 helicopters with a T/R blade, P/N
3G6410A00131 or 4G6410A00131, this AD requires:
     Within 5 hours time-in-service (TIS), establish a life
limit of 600 hours TIS or 1,500 takeoff and landing cycles (cycles),
whichever occurs first, on the affected T/R blades and update the
helicopter's historical records. If a T/R blade's total number of
cycles is unknown, determine the T/R blade cycles by multiplying the T/
R blade's hours TIS by 4.
     For a T/R blade that, on the effective date of this AD,
has already exceeded 600 hours TIS or 1,500 cycles, within 5 hours TIS
replace the T/R blade with an airworthy T/R blade.
     Within 25 hours TIS, and thereafter at intervals not to
exceed 25 hours TIS, visually inspect the T/R blade for a crack or
damage that exceeds the limits of the applicable maintenance manual.
Inspect the T/R blade using a mirror, magnifying glass (5X or greater),
and light source; or borescope.
     If there is a crack, or if there is damage that exceeds
the limits of the applicable maintenance manual, before further flight,
replace the T/R blade with an airworthy T/R blade.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The AD differs from the EASA AD in that we use the term ``take-off
and landing cycles'' and EASA uses the term ``flight cycles.'' In
addition, we use the term ``hours time-in-service'' to describe
compliance times, and EASA uses ``flight hours''. EASA's AD requires
you to contact the manufacturer if there is a crack in a T/R blade, and
our AD does not require that action. Finally, our AD requires, within 5
hours TIS, replacing a T/R blade that has exceeded the newly revised
life limits. EASA's AD requires replacing the T/R blade within 5 flight
hours or 30 days, whichever occurs first.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD to be an interim action. If final action is
later identified, we might consider further rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 46 helicopers of U.S.
Registry.
    We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order
to comply with this AD: each inspection will take 1 work-hour and a
blade replacement will take 8 work-hours. Required parts will cost
about $35,000 per T/R blade. Based on these figures, we estimate the
total cost impact of the AD on U.S. operators to be $237,050, assuming
all T/R blades will require 15 recurring visual inspections, a one-time
inspection, and that 5 T/R blades are replaced.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    The short compliance time involved is required because the
previously described critical unsafe condition can adversely affect the
structural integrity and controllability of the helicopter. Therefore,
the actions previously described are required at the specified
intervals, and this AD must be issued immediately.
    Since it was found that immediate corrective action was required,
notice and opportunity for prior public comment thereon were
impracticable and contrary to the public interest, and good cause
existed to make the AD effective immediately by individual letters
issued on August 26, 2011 to all known U.S. owners and operators of
Agusta Model AB139 and AW139 helicopters. These conditions still exist,
and the AD is hereby published in the Federal Register as an amendment
to 14 CFR 39.13 to make it effective to all persons.

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.

Procedures for the Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Fish
and Fishery Products--21 CFR Part 123

OMB Control Number 0910-0354--Extension

    This information collection supports regulations in part 123 (21
CFR part 123), which mandate the application of hazard analysis and
critical control point (HACCP) principles to the processing of seafood.
HACCP is a preventive system of hazard control designed to help ensure
the safety of foods. The regulations were issued under FDA's statutory
authority to regulate food safety, including section 402(a)(1) and (4)
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(1) and
(4)).
    Certain provisions in part 123 require that processors and
importers of seafood collect and record information. The HACCP records
compiled and maintained by a seafood processor primarily consist of the
periodic observations recorded at selected monitoring points during
processing and packaging operations, as called for in a processor's
HACCP plan (e.g., the values for processing times, temperatures,
acidity, etc., as observed at critical control points). The primary
purpose of HACCP records is to permit a processor to verify that
products have been produced within carefully established processing
parameters (critical limits) that ensure that hazards have been
avoided.
    HACCP records are normally reviewed by appropriately trained
employees at the end of a production lot or at the end of a day or week
of production to verify that control limits have been maintained, or
that appropriate corrective actions were taken if the critical limits
were not maintained. Such verification activities are essential to
ensure that the HACCP system is working as planned. A review of these
records during the conduct of periodic plant inspections also permits
FDA to determine whether the products have been consistently processed
in conformance with appropriate HACCP food safety controls.
    Section 123.12 requires that importers of seafood products take
affirmative steps and maintain records that verify that the fish and
fishery products they offer for import into the United States were
processed in accordance with the HACCP and sanitation provisions set
forth in part 123. These records are also to be made available for
review by FDA as provided in Sec.  123.12(c).
    The time and costs of these recordkeeping activities will vary
considerably among processors and importers of fish and fishery
products, depending on the type and number of products involved, and on
the nature of the equipment or instruments required to monitor critical
control points. The burden estimate in table 1 includes only those
collections of information under the seafood HACCP regulations that are
not already required under other statutes and regulations. The estimate
also does not include collections of

information that are a usual and customary part of businesses' normal
activities. For example, the tagging and labeling of molluscan
shellfish (21 CFR 1240.60) is a customary and usual practice among
seafood processors. Consequently, the estimates in table 1 account only
for information collection and recording requirements attributable to
part 123.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of
information include processors and importers of seafood.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.
\2\ These estimates include the information collection requirements in the following sections: Sec.   123.16--
  Smoked Fish--process controls (see Sec.   123.6(b)); Sec.   123.28(a)--Source Controls--molluscan shellfish
  (see Sec.   123.6(b)); Sec.   123.28(c) and (d)--Records--molluscan shellfish (see Sec.   123.6(c)(7).
\3\ Based on an estimated 280 working days per year.
\4\ Estimated average time per 8-hour work day unless one-time response.

    Based on a review of the information collection since our last OMB
approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden estimate. We base
this hour burden estimate on our experience with the application of
HACCP principles in food processing. Further, the burdens have been
estimated using typical small seafood processing firms as a model
because these firms represent a significant proportion of the industry.
The hour burden of HACCP recordkeeping activities will vary
considerably among processors and importers of fish and fishery
products, depending on the size of the facility and complexity of the
HACCP control scheme (i.e., the number of products and the number of
hazards controlled); the daily frequency that control points are
monitored and values recorded; and also on the extent that data
recording time and cost are minimized by the use of automated data
logging technology. The burden estimate does not include burden hours
for activities that are a usual and customary part of businesses'
normal activities. For example, the tagging and labeling of molluscan
shellfish (Sec.  1240.60) is a customary and usual practice among
seafood processors.
