Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0913]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Delaware River, Dredging Operation Equipment
Recovery, Marcus Hook Range, Chester, PA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters within a 250-yard radius of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock
Company vessels and machinery conducting emergency diving and equipment
removal operations in the Delaware River within Marcus Hook Range near
Chester, Pennsylvania. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by
broken equipment removal operations. Entry of vessels or persons into
this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain
of the Port Delaware Bay or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from November 19,
2018 through November 26, 2018. For the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be used from November 26, 2018 through November 30, 2018.
This rule may be withdrawn if the project is completed before the
stated end date. This rule will be enforced continuously each day the
rule is in effect.

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is impracticable and contrary to
the public interest to do so. The rule must be established by November
18, 2018, to serve its purpose of providing safety during the recovery
of a broken hydro-hammer associated with dredging operations. The Coast
Guard was notified of the recovery operation schedule on November 18,
2018, and a safety zone must be established by November 18, 2018 to
address the hazards associated with diving and equipment removal
operations.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest
because immediate action is needed to mitigate the potential safety
hazards associated with diving and equipment removal operations.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Delaware Bay (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with emergency diving and equipment
recovery operations beginning November 19, 2018, will be a safety
concern for anyone within a 250-yard radius of diving and equipment
recovery vessels and machinery. This rule is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters
within the safety zone while the operations to recover the broken
hydro-hammer are being conducted.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone on November 19, 2018
through November 30, 2018, within 250 yards of vessels and machinery
being used by personnel to conduct diving and equipment recovery
operations, at approximately 39[deg]49.3002' N Latitude, -
75[deg]22.8966' W Longitude, in the Marcus Hook Range of the Delaware
River. During diving and equipment recovery operations, persons or
vessels will not be permitted to enter the safety zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP or the COTP's designated
representative. Vessels wishing to transit the safety zone in the clear
side of the main navigational channel may do so if they can make
satisfactory passing arrangements with dredge NEW YORK or tug INDIAN
DAWN in accordance with the Navigational Rules in 33 CFR subchapter E
via VHF-FM 88 at least 1 hour prior to arrival and at 30 minutes prior
to arrival to arrange safe passage. If vessels are unable to make
satisfactory passing arrangements with the dredge NEW YORK or tug
INDIAN DAWN, they may request permission from the COTP, or his
designated representative, to enter and transit the safety zone on VHF-
FM channel 16. All vessels must operate at the minimum safe speed
necessary to maintain steerage and reduce wake while transiting the
safety zone. The Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners
via VHF-FM marine channel 16 and Marine Safety Information Bulletin
further defining specific work locations and traffic patterns.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt

from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
will be able to safely transit around this safety zone, which will
impact a small designated area of the Delaware River. Although persons
and vessels may not enter the safety zone without authorization from
the COTP or a designated representative of the COTP, they may operate
in the surrounding area during the enforcement period. Moreover, the
Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine
channel 16 and Marine Safety Information Bulletin about the zone, and
the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    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.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, 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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. 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 (adjusted for
inflation) 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.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the
Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is
one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves
an emergency safety zone that will prohibit persons and vessels from
entering a limited area on the navigable water in the Delaware Bay,
during an emergency diving and equipment recovery operation. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(c) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Airbus Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series
airplanes; and all A340-200 and A340-300 series airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by reports that a bracket that attaches the
cockpit instrument panel to the airplane structure, does not sustain
the fatigue loads of the design service goal. This proposed AD would
require repetitive inspections of that bracket for cracking and to
determine if both lugs are fully broken, an inspection for cracking of
an adjacent bracket, if necessary, and corrective actions if necessary.
This AD would also provide an optional modification, which would
terminate the repetitive inspections. We are proposing this AD to
detect and correct cracking on a bracket of the cockpit instrument
panel, which, combined with failure of the horizontal beam, could lead
to collapse of the cockpit panel, and reduced controllability of the
airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 30, 2015.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0127, dated May 15, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model
A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes; and all
A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During flight tests, high stress levels have been measured on
the bracket No 6 which attaches the cockpit instrument panel to the
aeroplane structure, apparently introduced through the nose landing
gear due to bumps on the runway. Airbus determined that the bracket
does not sustain the fatigue loads during the Design Service Goal
(DSG). This condition, if not detected and corrected, combined with
failure of the horizontal beam, could lead to collapse of the
cockpit panel, possibly resulting in reduced control of the
aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus developed a
program to inspect the condition of the affected cockpit instrument
panel bracket No 6, and designed a stronger (reinforced titanium
undrilled) bracket. The new bracket can be installed in-service
through Airbus Service Bulletin (SB) A330-25-3548 or SB A340-25-
4354, as applicable to aeroplane type.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive inspections of the cockpit instrument panel bracket No 6
and, depending on findings, the accomplishment of applicable
corrective actions. This [EASA] AD also provides the installation of
the stronger bracket as optional terminating action for the
repetitive actions required by this [EASA] AD.

The corrective actions include replacing bracket No. 6 and bracket No.
7 with serviceable parts, and repair, as applicable.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
0083.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued the following service information.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-25-3538, Revision 02, dated
April 24, 2014, which provides procedures for inspection of cockpit
instrument panel bracket 6.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-25-3548, dated October 31,
2013, which provides procedures for reinforcement of cockpit instrument
panel bracket 6.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-25-4351, Revision 01, dated
January 31, 2014, which provides procedures for inspection of cockpit
instrument panel bracket 6.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-25-4354, dated October 31,
2013, which provides procedures for reinforcement of cockpit instrument
panel bracket 6.
    The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI. This service
information is reasonably available; see ADDRESSES for ways to access
this service information.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

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

Explanation of ``RC'' Procedures and Tests in Service Information

    The FAA worked in conjunction with industry, under the
Airworthiness Directives Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee
(AD ARC), to enhance the AD system. One enhancement was a new process
for annotating which procedures and tests in the service information
are required for compliance with an AD. Differentiating these
procedures and tests from other tasks in the service information is
expected to improve an owner's/operator's understanding of crucial AD
requirements and help provide consistent judgment in AD compliance. The
actions specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A330-25-3538, Revision 02,
dated April 24, 2014; and Airbus Service Bulletin A340-25-4351,
Revision 01, dated January 31, 2014; include procedures and tests that
are identified as RC (required for compliance) because these procedures
have a direct effect on detecting, preventing, resolving, or
eliminating an identified unsafe condition.
    As specified in a NOTE under the Accomplishment Instructions of the
specified service information, procedures and tests identified as RC
must be done to comply with the proposed AD. However, procedures and
tests that are not identified as RC are recommended. Those procedures
and tests that are not identified as RC may be deviated from using
accepted methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or
inspection program without obtaining approval of an alternative method
of compliance (AMOC), provided the procedures and tests identified as
RC can be done and the airplane can be put back in a serviceable
condition. Any substitutions or changes to procedures or tests
identified as RC will require approval of an AMOC.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 76 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 8 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $51,680, or $680
per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the follow-on repairs specified in this AD.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on replacements
would take about 23 work-hours and require parts costing $0, for a cost
of $1,955 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these actions.
    We estimate that the optional modification would take about 9 work
hours and require parts costing $1,770, for a cost of $2,535.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:

[Docket No. FDA-2011-D-0649]

Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration
Staff; Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: External Pacemaker
Pulse Generator; Withdrawal of Draft Guidance

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
withdrawal of the draft guidance entitled ``Class II Special Controls
Guidance Document: External Pacemaker Pulse Generator,'' dated October
2011, in response to the requirements of the Food and Drug
Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) and new input
received during a panel meeting.

DATES: The withdrawal is effective September 15, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hina Pinto, Center for Devices and
Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire
Ave. Bldg. 66, Rm. 1652, Silver Spring, MD 20993,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    In a notice published in the Federal Register of October 17, 2011
(76 FR 64228), FDA announced the availability of a draft special
controls guidance document that, if finalized, would serve as a special
control if FDA reclassified these devices. FDA believed that the
special controls described in the draft guidance entitled, ``Class II
Special Controls Guidance Document: External Pacemaker Pulse
Generator'' would be sufficient to mitigate the risks to health
associated with the external pacemaker pulse generator (EPPG) (Ref. 1).
    On July 9, 2012, FDASIA (Pub. L. 112-144) was enacted. Section
608(a) of FDASIA amended section 513(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360c(a)) changing the process
for reclassifying a device from rulemaking to an administrative order.
Subsequent to the publication of the proposed rule, FDASIA's amendments
to section 513 of the FD&C Act required FDA to hold a classification
panel (an FDA advisory committee) meeting to discuss the classification
of this device type. On September 11, 2013, a meeting of the
Circulatory System Devices Panel (the Panel) was held to discuss
whether EPPG devices should be reclassified or remain as class III
devices (Ref. 2). The Panel recommended that EPPG devices be
reclassified to class II with special controls when intended for
cardiac rate control or prophylactic arrhythmia prevention.
    FDA provided an opportunity for interested parties to comment on
the special control guidance on EPPG. FDA did not receive any comments
to the docket. As a result of the Panel recommendation and the
amendment to section 513(e) of the FD&C Act, FDA will now include the
special controls for EPPG devices in a proposed order published
elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register and withdraw the draft
guidance through this notice.

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD No. 2019-0019, dated January 30,
2019 (EASA AD 2019-0019) to correct an unsafe condition for Leonardo
S.p.A. (formerly Finmeccanica S.p.A., AgustaWestland S.p.A.) Model
AW169 and AW189 helicopters with T/R actuator part number (P/N)
6F6730V00331 and a serial number (S/N) up to 489 inclusive, except
those marked with ``SB 67-0007,'' installed. EASA advises of reports of
non-conformities of the T/R actuator back-end input lever, indicating
incorrect orientation of the lever with its trunnion locking pin.
    EASA states this condition could lead to de-bonding and slippage of
one of the two redundant lever bearings and possibly affect the
functionality of the T/R actuator. A batch of T/R actuators was
identified that may be also affected. Accordingly, EASA AD 2019-0019
requires one-time conformity checks of certain T/R actuator input
levers, sending information and photos to Leonardo S.p.A., and
depending on inspection findings, marking a part, inspecting the
bonding of each bearing, and replacing the T/R actuator. EASA AD 2019-
0019 also prohibits installation of the affected parts.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters 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 of the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is issuing this AD after
evaluating all information provided by EASA and determining the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters
of these same type designs.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    UTC Aerospace Systems (Collins Aerospace) has issued Service
Bulletin 67-0007, Basic Issue, dated January 17, 2019 (SB 67-0007). SB
67-0007 specifies verifying that the width of the bearing circular
collar of the input lever is within the allowable limits of 4 0.3 mm, and checking the input lever pin head, and the nut and
cotter pin of the intermediate bolt for proper installation. Depending
on the inspection results, SB 67-0007 specifies replacing the T/R
actuator, or marking the input lever and sending its completed
registration form and photos of each side of the input lever to
Leonardo Helicopters. SB 67-0007 is incorporated by reference in this
AD.
    SB 67-0007 is attached as Annex A to Leonardo Helicopters Alert
Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 169-129, dated January 30, 2019 (ASB 169-
129), for Model AW169 helicopters, and Leonardo Helicopters ASB No.
189-220, dated January 30, 2019 (ASB 189-220), for Model AW189
helicopters. ASB 169-129 and ASB 189-220 are not incorporated by
reference in this AD.
    This service information 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.

Other Related Service Information

    Leonardo Helicopters has issued ASB 169-129 and ASB 189-220. This
service information refers to SB 67-0007 for instructions to inspect
certain part-numbered and serial-numbered T/R actuator input lever
assemblies. Depending on findings, this service information specifies
marking the input lever, inspecting the bonding of each bearing, and
replacing the T/R actuator on a specified compliance time schedule
based on findings. This service information also specifies sending
information, photos, and certain T/R actuators to Leonardo Helicopters.

AD Requirements

    For Model AW169 and AW189 helicopters with a T/R actuator P/N
6F6730V00331 and an S/N up to 489 inclusive, except those marked with
``SB 67-0007,'' installed, this AD requires inspecting the T/R actuator
input lever assembly by determining if the width of the bearing
circular collar of the input lever is within allowable limits, and
inspecting for proper installation of the pin and of the intermediate
bolt's nut and cotter pin. This AD requires reporting certain
information and photos to Leonardo S.p.A. Based on the inspection
outcome, this AD requires marking ``SB 67-0007'' on the input lever,
inspecting each bearing for correct bonding, and removing the T/R
actuator from service at different compliance times. This AD also
prohibits installation of affected T/R actuators.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires returning a removed T/R actuator to Leonardo
Helicopters, whereas this AD does not. Depending on the inspection
results of the T/R actuator input lever assembly, one of the compliance
times to replace the T/R actuator in the EASA AD is 200 hours TIS or 2
months, whichever occurs first. This AD requires removing the T/R
actuator from service within 60 hours TIS for the same inspection
results instead.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 10 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs in order to comply
with this AD.
    Inspecting the T/R actuator input lever assembly takes about 1
work-hour, and reporting information and photos to Leonardo S.p.A.
takes about 1 work-hour, for an estimated cost of $170 per helicopter
and $1,700 for the U.S. fleet. Marking a part takes a minimal amount of
time for a nominal cost. Replacing a T/R actuator takes about 6 work-
hours and parts cost about $20,000, for an estimated cost of $20,510
per helicopter.
    According to Leonardo Helicopter's service information, some of the
costs of this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty
coverage by Leonardo Helicopters. Accordingly, the FAA has included all
costs in the cost estimate.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public
reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be
approximately 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the

data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of
information. All responses to this collection of information are
mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for
reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer,
Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX
76177-1524.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment
procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause'' finds that
those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without seeking comment prior to the
rulemaking.
    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies foregoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because the initial inspection requirements must be completed within 30
hours time-in-service. Therefore notice and opportunity for prior
public comment are impracticable and contrary to public interest
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). In addition, for the reason stated
above, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)
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.
    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 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, and
    2. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.
    The FAA prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

0813; Product Identifier 2019-SW-006-AD.

(a) Applicability

    This AD applies to Leonardo S.p.A. Model AW169 and AW189
helicopters, certificated in any category, with a tail rotor (T/R)
actuator part number (P/N) 6F6730V00331 with a serial number (S/N)
up to 489 inclusive, except those marked with ``SB 67-0007.''

(b) Unsafe Condition

    This AD defines the unsafe condition as incorrect installation
of the T/R actuator back-end input lever. This condition could
result in de-bonding and slippage of one or both of the two
redundant lever bearings, a reduction or loss of T/R control, and
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

(c) Effective Date

    This AD becomes effective January 7, 2020.
