14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2010-1103 Airspace Docket No. 10-AAL-18]

Revision of Class E Airspace; Savoonga, AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action revises Class E airspace at the Savoonga Airport,
Savoonga, AK. The amendment of three Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAPs) plus the creation of one new SIAP at the Savoonga
Airport has made this action necessary to enhance safety and air
traffic management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 5, 2011. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Monday, December 13, 2010, the FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register to amend Class E airspace
at Savoonga, AK (75 FR 77574).
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.

One comment was received. The commenter suggested that the portion of
the proposed Class E airspace overlaying Russian airspace should be
excluded. The FAA has found merit in this and has adjusted the airspace
area to exclude that area outside of U.S. airspace. The FAA also noted
that the geographic coordinates for the Savoonga Airport cited in the
NPRM were not rounded. This action corrects that error.
    The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1,200 ft. transition
areas are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9U, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 18, 2010, and effective
September 15, 2010, 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 action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by revising Class E airspace to accommodate three amended SIAPs
and one new SIAP at the Savoonga Airport, Savoonga, AK. This Class E
airspace will provide adequate controlled airspace upward from 700 feet
and 1,200 feet above the surface for the safety and management of IFR
operations at Savoonga Airport. The 1,200 foot controlled airspace will
extend into the Norton Sound Low Offshore Airspace Area and that
airspace will be redefined in a future rulemaking action. With the
exception of editorial changes, and the changes described above, this
rule is the same as that proposed in the NPRM.
    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.
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. Because this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule 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 1, 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 1, section 40103, Sovereignty and use of
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because
it creates Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft
executing instrument procedures for the Savoonga Airport and represents
the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable
airspace.

Airworthiness Directives; Lycoming Engines Reciprocating Engines
(Type Certificate Previously Held by Textron Lycoming Division, AVCO
Corporation)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A reciprocating engines. This proposed AD
was prompted by several reports of cracked engine exhaust pipes. This
proposed AD would require inspection of the engine exhaust pipes for
cracks and replacement of the turbocharger mounting bracket. We are
proposing this AD to prevent failure of the exhaust system due to
cracking, which could lead to uncontrolled engine fire, harmful exhaust
gases entering the cabin resulting in crew incapacitation, and damage
to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 3, 2015.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this NPRM. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2014-0940;
Directorate Identifier 2014-NE-15-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this NPRM. We will
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this
NPRM because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each

substantive verbal contact we receive about this NPRM.

Discussion

    We issued Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) CE-04-
22 on December 17, 2003. The SAIB recommended pre-flight and repetitive
inspection of exhaust system components for signs of cracking. This
NPRM was prompted by additional reports of exhaust pipe cracking.
Probable causes of exhaust pipe cracks are questionable exhaust pipe
welds or misalignment of the exhaust pipe during installation.
Additionally, non-conforming turbocharger mounting brackets were found
during Lycoming engine assembly trials of new engine exhaust pipes.
These out-of-tolerance mounting brackets may place stresses on exhaust
system components. Taken alone, or in combination, these conditions may
overstress certain exhaust pipe locations and cause cracks to develop.
With the presence of cracks, hot exhaust gases collect in the engine
compartment and carbon monoxide gas is now able to enter the airplane
cabin. The conditions identified above, if not corrected, could result
in uncontrolled engine fire, harmful exhaust gases entering the cabin
resulting in crew incapacitation, and damage to the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Lycoming Engines Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No.
614A, dated October 10, 2014. The MSB describes procedures for exhaust
system inspection and turbocharger mounting bracket replacement.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this NPRM because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This NPRM would require inspection of the exhaust system and
replacement of the turbocharger mounting bracket.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 111 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will
take about 8 hours per engine to comply with this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Parts replacement will cost about $6,782 per
engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $828,282. Our cost estimate is exclusive of
possible warranty coverage.

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:
    (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),
    (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.

(d) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by several reports of cracked engine
exhaust pipes. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the
exhaust system due to cracking, which could lead to uncontrolled
engine fire, harmful exhaust gases entering the cabin resulting in
crew incapacitation, and damage to the airplane.

(e) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
    (1) For affected engines with an S/N listed in Figure 1 to
paragraph (c) of this AD with 400 hours or less time since new (TSN)
or time since last overhaul (TSLO), and for any TIO-540-AJ1A
reciprocating engine with a replacement turbocharger mounting
bracket installed that was purchased between April 5, 2012 and May
29, 2014, that has accumulated 400 hours or less time-in-service
(TIS), within 25 hours after the effective date of this AD, replace
the turbocharger mounting bracket with a part eligible for
installation, and inspect the exhaust pipes for cracks. Use Lycoming
Engines Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. 614A, dated October 10,
2014, Exhaust System Disassembly and Removal, paragraphs 1 through
22 to replace the bracket, and Exhaust System Inspection, paragraphs
1 through 5 to do the inspection.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0160, dated July 5, 2021 (EASA
AD 2021-0160), to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters
Deutschland GmbH (AHD), formerly Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH, Model
MBB-BK117 D-3 helicopters, all serial numbers, including Model MBB-
BK117 D-2 helicopters that have been converted into Model MBB-BK117 D-3
helicopters through Airbus Helicopters Service Bulletin MBB-BK117 D-2-
00-003.
    This proposed AD was prompted by reports of an M/R blade lead-lag
damper in a tilted position. EASA advises that subsequent investigation
results determined that the tolerances stack-up may lead to an
insufficient clamping on the bearing pin. The FAA is proposing this AD
to address this unsafe condition, which if not detected and corrected,
could result in an unbalance of the M/R system, excessive vibration,
and reduced control of the helicopter. See EASA AD 2021-0160 for
additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0160 requires a one-time inspection of the affected
FCU and depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective
actions. EASA AD 2021-0160 also requires after the initial FCU
inspection, re-working and re-identifying each affected part by marking
the part with a letter ``M.'' EASA AD 2021-0160 prohibits installing an
affected FCU or affected part 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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin ASB MBB-
BK117 D-3-62A-002, dated June 29, 2021, which specifies procedures for
a one-time inspection of the FCU and re-work of the bearing pin
installed on the support assembly.

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 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 2021-0160, described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this proposed 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 some 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 2021-0160 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2021-0160 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 2021-0160 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 2021-
0160. Service information referenced in EASA AD 2021-0160 for
compliance will be available at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-1180 after the FAA final
rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 41 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.
    Inspecting each FCU, including inspecting each rotor hub-shaft,
hexagonal screw, nut, damper assembly, bearing pin, support assembly,
spherical bearing, and integrated bearing sleeve, would take about 3
work-hours for an estimated cost of $255 per FCU inspection and $10,455
for the U.S. fleet per FCU inspection.
    Reworking and re-identifying the bearing pin would take about 0.5
work-hour for an estimated cost of $43 per helicopter and $1,763 for
the U.S. fleet per bearing pin.
    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition repairs specified in this proposed AD.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, 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:

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 9

[Docket ID: FEMA-2015-0006]
RIN 1660-AA85

Updates to Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands
Regulations To Implement Executive Order 13690 and the Federal Flood
Risk Management Standard

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) withdraws a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that published on August 22, 2016.
The NPRM proposed changes to FEMA's ``Floodplain Management and
Protection of Wetlands'' regulations to implement Executive Order
13690, which established the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard
(FFRMS). FEMA also withdraws the proposed supplementary policy (FEMA
Policy: 078-3), which clarified how FEMA would apply the FFRMS. On
August 15, 2017, the President issued Executive Order 13807, which
revoked Executive Order 13690. Accordingly, the NPRM and supplementary
policy are withdrawn.

DATES: FEMA is withdrawing the proposed rule published August 22, 2016
(81 FR 57402) as of March 6, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this withdrawn rulemaking is available on the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristin Fontenot, Director, Office of
Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (OEHP), Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administration, DHS/FEMA, 400 C Street SW,
Suite 313, Washington, DC 20472-3020. Phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; Email:
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 22, 2016, FEMA published an NPRM
entitled ``Updates to Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands
Regulations To Implement Executive Order 13690 and the Federal Flood
Risk Management Standard'' in the Federal Register (81 FR 57402). This
rulemaking proposed to revise FEMA's regulations on ``Floodplain
Management and Protection of Wetlands'' to implement Executive Order
13690 (``Establishing a Federal Flood Risk Management Standard and a
Process for Further Soliciting and Considering Stakeholder Input''),
which amended Executive Order 11988 (``Floodplain Management'') and
established the FFRMS. FEMA also proposed a supplementary policy
entitled ``FEMA Policy: Guidance for Implementing the Federal Flood
Risk Management Standard (FFRMS)'' (FEMA Policy 078-3), which would
have further clarified how FEMA would apply the FFRMS. The notice of
availability and request for comments for the supplementary policy also
published in the August 22, 2016 Federal Register at 81 FR 56558.
    On August 15, 2017, the President issued Executive Order 13807
(``Establishing Discipline and Accountability in the Environmental
Review and Permitting Process for Infrastructure Projects'') which
revoked Executive Order 13690. See 82 FR 40463, Aug. 24, 2017.
Executive Order 13807 left in place Executive Order 11988, which
provides for uniform floodplain management standards and procedures
across the Executive Branch, and which is currently reflected in FEMA
regulations. See 44 CFR part 9. Accordingly, in light of the revocation
of Executive Order 13690, FEMA is withdrawing the NPRM and
supplementary policy. FEMA will continue to seek more effective ways in
its programs to assess and reduce the risk of current and future
flooding and increase community resilience.

Executive Order 13771

    The withdrawal of the NPRM qualifies as a deregulatory action under
Executive Order 13771. See OMB's Memorandum titled ``Guidance
Implementing Executive Order 13771, Titled `Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs' '' (April 5, 2017).

Authority

    Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, as amended; 42 U.S.C.
5201 et seq.

    Dated: February 27, 2018.
Brock Long,
Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency.
