Reflex & Allen USA, Incorporated, Grant of Petition for Decision
of Inconsequential Noncompliance

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Grant of petition.

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

SUMMARY: Reflex & Allen USA, Incorporated (RAUS), has determined that
certain Reflex & Allen air brake tubing products do not fully comply
with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 106, Brake
Hoses. RAUS filed a noncompliance information report dated September 1,
2016, and amended it on September 13, 2016. RAUS also petitioned NHTSA
on September 30, 2016, for a decision that the subject noncompliance is
inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety.

ADDRESSES: For further information regarding this decision please
contact Leroy Angeles, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), telephone (202)
366-5304, facsimile<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    I. Overview: Reflex & Allen USA, Incorporated (RAUS), has
determined that certain Reflex & Allen air brake tubing products do not
fully comply with paragraph S7.2.1 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 106, Brake Hoses. RAUS filed a report dated
September 1, 2016, and amended it on September 13, 2016, pursuant to 49
CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports. RAUS
also petitioned NHTSA

on September 30, 2016, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and
49 CFR part 556, for an exemption from the notification and remedy
requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this
noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety.
    Notice of receipt of the petition was published, with a 30-day
public comment period, on November 25, 2016, in the Federal Register
(81 FR 85323). No comments were received. To view the petition and all
supporting documents log onto the Federal Docket Management System
(FDMS) Web site at: https://www.regulations.gov/. Then follow the
online search instructions to locate docket number ``NHTSA-2016-0108.''
    II. Hoses Involved: Approximately 4,500 Reflex & Allen air brake
hose products manufactured between October 16, 2015, and August 30,
2016, are potentially involved.
    III. Noncompliance: RAUS explains that the noncompliance is that
the subject brake hoses are labeled at intervals ranging from 6.5
inches to 11.5 inches, thereby exceeding 6-inch maximum spacing
required by paragraph S7.2.1 of FMVSS No. 106.
    IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S7.2.1 of FMVSS No. 106 states:

    S7.2.1 Hose. Each air brake hose shall be labeled, or cut from
bulk hose that is labeled, at intervals of not more than 6 inches,
measured from the end of one legend to the beginning of the next, in
block capital letters and numerals at least one-eighth of an inch
high, with the information listed in paragraphs (a) through (e) of
this section. The information need not be present on hose that is
sold as part of a brake hose assembly or a motor vehicle.

    V. Summary of RAUS's Petition: RAUS described the subject
noncompliance and stated its belief that the noncompliance is
inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety.
    In support of its petition, RAUS submitted the following reasoning:
    (a) RAUS notified NHTSA in a 573 report in early September of 2016,
of a potential noncompliance within a population of air brake tubing
products. The report was subsequently amended to correct affected part
numbers. As described in RAUS's noncompliance notification, the subject
air brake tubing is labeled with the complete and correct identifying
data, but due to a production error, the labeling appears at intervals
that exceed the 6-inch maximum spacing required by the standard.
    (b) RAUS noted that all affected products are labeled in accordance
with the requirements of FMVSS No. 106 S7.2.1 except for the print
legend spacing.
    (c) These products are sold only to one Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM), Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA), which then
paints the complete chassis to include painting over the tubing. These
products meet all applicable performance requirements of FMVSS No. 106.
These products perform exactly as designed. The safety of the vehicle
is uncompromised.
    (d) The noncompliant products were produced between October 16,
2015 and August 30, 2016. VTNA first notified RAUS of the noncompliance
on August 30, 2016. Immediately on that date, RAUS recalibrated the
equipment to ensure compliance on all future tubing products and is
conducting initial and secondary quality checks to guarantee compliance
prior to shipment to VTNA. VTNA is the only customer that receives
these products and is fully aware of the situation. RAUS fully believes
that these labeling errors are inconsequential to motor vehicle safety
because the tubing is properly identified with all required identifiers
and meets the standards in every other way. The only noncompliance is
the spacing in which the print legends exceed 6 inch intervals in
various measurements ranging from 6.5 inches to 11.5 inches.
    (e) This noncompliance does not create an unreasonable risk of
death or injury in an accident, nor does it create any operational
issues or safety concerns regarding the vehicle. The Safety Act allows
for exemptions for manufacturers from the Safety Act's notice and
remedy requirements particularly when the noncompliance does not create
an unreasonable risk of death or injury in an accident.
    (f) The subject brake tubing was marked correctly with all required
identifiers yet the print legends fell beyond the maximum 6 inch
intervals. This error is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. One
of the main purposes FMVSS No. 106, S7.2.1 is to identify the
manufacturer of the brake tubing in the event of a product recall. If a
recall of this air brake tubing were to become necessary in the future,
the affected products could still be easily identified by the markings
which are conspicuously printed on all of the tubing.
    (g) There are several examples of NHTSA granting petitions from the
reporting and notification requirements based on determinations of
inconsequential noncompliance for similar marking/labeling issues
including the granting of the Grote Industries LLC petition on January
23, 2015.
    RAUS concluded by expressing the belief that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety,
and that its petition to be exempted from providing notification of the
noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the
noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120, should be granted.

NHTSA Decision

    NHTSA Analyses: NHTSA has reviewed and accepts RAUS's analysis that
the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Specifically, the labeling interval of the brake hose ranging from 6.5
inches to 11.5 inches poses little if any risk to motor vehicle safety
given the fact that every product manufactured by RAUS is labeled with
all information required by FMVSS No. 106.
    RAUS stated that the subject hoses are sold to only one vehicle
manufacturer, Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) and are marked with all
the required identifiers. In addition, RAUS states that the subject
hoses meet all FMVSS No. 106 requirements other than the labeling
interval. As part of NHTSA's review of RAUS's petition, NHTSA contacted
RAUS to verify that every hose produced is in fact labeled. RAUS
responded that the subject hoses are manufactured in continuous lengths
that are labeled. Then the subject bulk hose is shipped or transported
from RAUS's facilities to VTNA on cardboard reels. RAUS stated that
VTNA cuts individual hoses from the bulk hose and installs them onto
vehicle chassis frames. The chassis frames and hoses are painted after
the brake hoses are installed on the chassis.
    NHTSA evaluated if having the required labeling information in
intervals of 6.5 to 11.5 inches was inconsequential to safety under
these circumstances. NHTSA reiterates the need for brake hose labeling
required by paragraph S7.2 of FMVSS No. 106 which can be summarized as:
(a) The symbol DOT, constituting the manufacturer's certification that
the hose conforms to all applicable FMVSS; (b) manufacturer's
designation; (c) date of manufacture; (d) nominal inside hose diameter;
and (e) hose type designation. In this situation, all required labeling
was present on every item sold by RAUS to VTNA. The bulk hose was
labeled at an interval that ranged from 6.5 to 11.5 inch. NHTSA agrees
that the users of the bulk brake hose would have ready access to all
required information during handling and processing of the bulk hose.
Furthermore, NHTSA agrees with RAUS, that in the event of a recall,
RAUS or VTNA would be able to easily identify the subject hoses by the
required markings on the bulk hose

before the hose is cut or installed in vehicles.
    As part of its analysis, NHTSA also considered if the hoses need to
be labeled after they are installed on vehicles. Paragraph S7.2.1 of
FMVSS No. 106 states ``. . . The information need not be present on
hose that is sold as part of a brake hose assembly or a motor
vehicle.'' The vehicle manufacturer who installs the subject hoses into
their vehicles, in this case VTNA, is required to certify the vehicles
they manufacture meet all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards, including FMVSS No. 106. Therefore, VTNA, by cutting and
installing the hose on its vehicles takes responsibility for the hose
as part of the vehicle. Should there be an issue with the brake hoses
installed on VTNA vehicles, VTNA would be responsible for identifying
scope and conducting a recall of the vehicles.
    RAUS stated that on August 30, 2016, they recalibrated their
equipment and implemented quality checks to ensure compliance of all
future hoses delivered to VTNA.
    NHTSA's Decision: In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA finds
that RAUS has met its burden of persuasion that the subject FMVSS No.
106 noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Accordingly, NHTSA hereby grants RAUS's petition and RAUS is
consequently exempted from the obligation of providing notification of,
and a free remedy for, that noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and
30120.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this decision
only applies to the subject hoses that RAUS no longer controlled at the
time it determined that the noncompliance existed. However, the
granting of this petition does not relieve equipment distributors and
dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, or
introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant hoses under their control after RAUS notified them
that the subject noncompliance existed.

    Authority: (49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8).

Airworthiness Directives; the Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-24-07 for
certain the Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, and -800 series
airplanes. AD 2009-24-07 required repetitive lubrications of the right
and left main landing gear (MLG) forward trunnion pins. AD 2009-24-07
also required an inspection for discrepancies of the transition radius
of the MLG forward trunnion pins, and corrective actions if necessary.
For certain airplanes, AD 2009-24-07 required repetitive detailed
inspections for discrepancies (including finish damage, corrosion,
pitting, and base metal scratches) of the transition radius of the left
and right MLG trunnion pins, and corrective action if necessary.
Replacing or overhauling the trunnion pins terminates the actions
required by AD 2009-24-07. This new AD adds airplanes to the
applicability of AD 2009-24-07. This AD was prompted by reports of
corrosion protection damage to the forward trunnion pin on additional
airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent stress corrosion cracking
of the forward trunnion pins, which could result in fracture of the
pins and consequent collapse of the MLG.

DATES: This AD is effective June 3, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of June 3,
2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2009-24-07, Amendment 39-16095 (74 FR 62231,
November 27, 2009). AD 2009-24-07 applied to certain The Boeing Company
Model 737-600, -700, -700C, and -800 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2013 (78 FR 49229). The
NPRM was prompted by reports of corrosion protection damage to the
forward trunnion pin on additional airplanes. The NPRM proposed to
continue to require repetitive lubrications of the right and left main
landing gear (MLG) forward trunnion pins. The NPRM also proposed to
continue to require an inspection for discrepancies of the transition
radius of the MLG forward trunnion pins, and corrective actions if
necessary. For certain airplanes, the NPRM proposed to continue to
require repetitive detailed inspections for discrepancies (including
finish damage, corrosion, pitting, and base metal scratches) of the
transition radius of the left and right MLG trunnion pins, and
corrective action if necessary. Replacing or overhauling the trunnion
pins would terminate the actions required by AD 2009-24-07. The NPRM
proposed to add airplanes to the applicability of AD 2009-24-07. We are
issuing this AD to prevent stress corrosion cracking of the forward
trunnion pins, which could result in fracture of the pins and
consequent collapse of the MLG.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(78 FR 49229, August 13, 2013) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Concurrence With the NPRM (78 FR 49229, August 13, 2013)

    Boeing stated that it concurs with the content of the NPRM (78 FR
49229, August 13, 2013).

Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Winglet Comment

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that the installation of winglets
per STC ST00830SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/408E012E008616A7862578880060456C?OpenDocument&Highlight=st00830se) does
not affect the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service
instructions.
    We have redesignated paragraph (c) of the NPRM (78 FR 49229, August
13, 2013) as paragraph (c)(1) of this AD, and added paragraph (c)(2) to
this AD to state that installation of STC ST00830SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/408E012E008616A7862578880060456C?OpenDocument&Highlight=st00830se) does
not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD.
Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST00830SE is installed, a
``change in product'' alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval
request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR
39.17. For all other AMOC requests, the operator must request approval
of an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (l)
of this AD.

Request for Clarification of Location of Trunnion Pins

    Delta asked for clarification of the term ``trunnion pins'' as
specified in the

NPRM (78 FR 49229, August 13, 2013). Delta stated that throughout the
preamble of the NPRM, the subject pins are referred to as ``forward
trunnion pins;'' however, in paragraphs (h) and (i) of the NPRM, the
location is omitted and the term ``trunnion pins'' is used. Delta noted
that since forward and aft trunnion pins are installed, failing to
identify the affected pin as a ``forward trunnion pin'' adds a
potential for errors.
    We agree that the term ``trunnion pins'' should be clarified to
include the pin location. We have changed paragraphs (h) and (i) of
this final rule to specify ``forward trunnion pins.''

Request To Use Alternate Grease for Lubrication of the Forward Trunnion
Pins

    Delta asked that paragraph (g) of the NPRM (78 FR 49229, August 13,
2013) be changed to allow the use of Royco-11MS grease as an alternate
to the BMS 3-33 grease specified in Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 737-32-1402, Revision 1, dated February 7, 2013. Delta stated
that Royco-11MS is the standard grease used on Delta aircraft landing
gear applications, and it would like to continue using this grease when
lubricating the forward trunnion pins.
    We do not agree to allow the use of an alternative type of grease.
Approval of an operator's unique maintenance actions is dependent on
its ability to provide acceptable data supporting the request. We would
not provide such an approval to all operators via a change to the NPRM
(78 FR 49229, August 13, 2013). However, we would consider this request
for approval of unique maintenance practices in accordance with the
procedures identified in paragraph (l) of this AD. We have made no
change to this final rule in this regard.

Request To Further Clarify Certain Language

    Ryanair (RYR) asked that clarification be provided to reflect new
information it received from Boeing. RYR stated that the intent of
paragraphs (g) and (h) of the NPRM (78 FR 49229, August 13, 2013)
appears to be to require that the 30-day repetitive lubrication task
continue until all repetitive inspections are completed, as stated in
Notes (a) and (b) of paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-1402, Revision 1, dated February 7,
2013. RYR received correspondence from Boeing stating that the 30-day
lubrication task is terminated after accomplishing the first in-situ
detailed inspection. RYR recommends the information from Boeing be
included in the NPRM.
    RYR has correctly interpreted the requirements in paragraphs (g)
and (h) of this AD. However, we find that further clarification is
necessary. If certain discrepancies are found during the detailed
inspection of the forward trunnion pins, replacing the affected
trunnion pins terminates the repetitive requirements in this AD. If no
discrepancies are found during the detailed inspection of the forward
trunnion pins, an additional lubrication of the left and right MLG
forward trunnion is required, which terminates the repetitive
requirements in this AD. If certain other discrepancies are found
during the detailed inspection of the forward trunnion pins, the
lubrications and detailed inspections must be repeated until overhaul
or replacement of the affected trunnion pins.
    Additionally, Boeing did not provide any new information or data to
the FAA, nor are we aware of any intention to revise its service
information. However, under the provisions of paragraph (l) of this AD,
we may consider requests for approval of an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that
terminating the repetitive lubrications after doing the first detailed
inspection would provide an acceptable level of safety. In light of
these factors, we have made no change to this final rule.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that
these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 431 airplanes of U.S. registry.

                                                                     Estimated Costs

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 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 above, 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, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2009-24-07, Amendment 39-16095 (74 FR 62231, November 27, 2009), and
adding the following new AD:

2014-08-11 Boeing: Amendment 39-17835; Docket No. FAA-2013-0690;
Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-088-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective June 3, 2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2009-24-07, Amendment 39-16095 (74 FR
62231, November 27, 2009).

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -
700C, -800 and -900 series airplanes, certificated in any category;
as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-
1402, Revision 1, dated February 7, 2013.
    (2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
ST00830SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/408E012E008616A7862578880060456C?OpenDocument&Highlight=st00830se)
does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by
this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST00830SE is
installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32, Landing
gear.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a report that the protective finishes on
the forward trunnion pins for the left and right MLG might have been
damaged during final assembly. We are issuing this AD to prevent
stress corrosion cracking of the forward trunnion pins, which could
result in fracture of the pins and consequent collapse of the MLG.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Repetitive Lubrications

    At the applicable compliance time specified in paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-
1402, Revision 1, dated February 7, 2013, except as required by
paragraph (j) of this AD: Lubricate the left and right MLG forward
trunnion pins, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-1402, Revision 1,
dated February 7, 2013. Repeat the lubrication thereafter at the
applicable time specified in paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' until
all applicable requirements of paragraph (h) of this AD have been
accomplished.

(h) Inspection

    At the applicable compliance time specified in paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-
1402, Revision 1, dated February 7, 2013, except as required by
paragraph (j) of this AD: Except as provided by paragraph (i) of
this AD, do a detailed inspection for discrepancies (including
finish damage, corrosion, pitting, and base metal scratches) of the
transition radius of the left and right MLG forward trunnion pins,
and do all applicable repetitive inspections and related
investigative and corrective actions, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 737-32-1402, Revision 1, dated February 7, 2013.
Accomplishing the detailed inspections (initial and repetitive) and
all applicable corrective actions specified in this paragraph
terminates the repetitive lubrication requirements of paragraph (g)
of this AD.

(i) Optional Terminating Action

    Overhauling or replacing a forward trunnion pin, in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 737-32-1402, Revision 1, dated February 7, 2013,
ends the repetitive lubrication requirements of paragraph (g) of
this AD, and the actions required by paragraph (h) of this AD, for
that forward trunnion pin only.

(j) Exception to Service Information Specifications

    Where Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-1402,
Revision 1, dated February 7, 2013, specifies a compliance time
``from the date of Revision 1 of this service bulletin,'' this AD
requires compliance within the specified compliance time after the
effective date of this AD.

(k) Credit for Previous Actions

    This paragraph provides credit for the actions required by this
AD, if those actions were performed before the effective date of
this AD using Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-1402,
dated August 6, 2008, which was incorporated by reference in AD
2009-24-07, Amendment 39-16095 (74 FR 62231, November 27, 2009).

(l) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On August 26, 2011, EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPR) which proposed approval of Pennsylvania's adhesives and sealants
regulations in order to control emissions of VOCs from the manufacture,
sale, use, or application of adhesives, sealants, primers, and solvents
(76 FR 53369, August 26, 2011). The formal SIP revision was submitted
by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through PADEP on January 12, 2011.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    Pennsylvania's SIP submission contains amendments to 25 Pa. Code
Chapters 121, 129, and 130 relating to general provisions, standards
for sources, and standards for products. The SIP revision includes
amendments to the existing regulation in 25 Pa. Code section 129.51,
general provisions for VOC sources, and adds new provisions under 25
Pa. Code sections 129.77 and 130.701 through 130.708, relating to
control of emissions from the use or application of adhesives,
sealants, primers and solvents and for the control of emissions of VOCs
from the manufacture, sale, use, or application of adhesives, sealants,
primers, and solvents. The SIP revision also includes amendments to 25
Pa. Code section 121.1, which contains definitions applicable to 25 Pa.
Code sections 129.77 and 130.701 through 130.708.
    The SIP revision is based on the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC)
model rule, ``OTC Model Rule For Adhesives and Sealants,'' dated 2006,
which was based on the 1998 California Air Resources Board (CARB)
reasonably available control technology (RACT) determination which
applied to both the manufacture and use of adhesives, sealants,
adhesive primers, or sealant primers, in both industrial and
manufacturing facilities and in the field. California Air Districts
used this determination to develop regulations for this category. EPA
addressed this source category with a Control Techniques Guideline
(CTG) document ``Control Techniques Guidelines for Miscellaneous
Industrial Adhesives, EPA-453/R-08-005'' in September 2008
(Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesive CTG).
    EPA has determined that the SIP revision contains the required
elements for a federally enforceable rule: Emission limitations,
compliance procedures and test methods, compliance dates, and record
keeping provisions. In comparison to the CTG, the OTC model rule and 25
Pa. Code section 129.77 are applicable to all stationary sources
including those applications that occur outside of the factory setting
in the field. The OTC model rule and 25 Pa. Code sections 129.77 and
130.701 through 130.708 also regulate the VOC content and vapor
pressure of surface-preparation and clean-up solvents for which the CTG
did not make recommendations other than including work practices. The
rationale for EPA's proposed action is explained in the NPR and will
not be restated here. On September 26, 2011, EPA received one comment
letter on the August 26, 2011 NPR. The complete comment letter
submitted by the Graphic Arts Coalition (hereafter referred to as the
Commenter) may be found in the docket (EPA-R03-OAR-2011-0617) for
today's final action. A summary of the comments and EPA's responses are
provided in Section III of this document.

III. Summary of Public Comments and EPA Responses

    Comment: The Commenter requests that EPA not approve the SIP
amendment until PADEP clearly exempts graphic arts operations from the
rule. The Commenter believes that adhesives used in printing operations
were not considered in PADEP's rulemaking and were not intended to be
covered by the revised regulation or by the OTC or EPA. The Commenter
believes that all adhesives used in the printing process operation, not
only adhesives applied at stations that are physically connected to a
printing line, should be excluded from the rule because these adhesives
will be captured/controlled under rules applicable to lithographic
operations being developed by PADEP.
    Response: Pennsylvania's regulation for adhesives and sealants
clearly addresses the adhesives and adhesive application activities
regulated. In 25 Pa. Code section 129.77 at Tables V and VI, the
Commonwealth clearly specified the adhesives for which a VOC limit is
set and 25 Pa. Code section 129.77(a) clearly states that the limits
apply in Tables V and VI unless excluded by 25 Pa. Code section
129.77(k). Also, the additional terms in 25 Pa. Code section 121.1
define each of the adhesive categories found in Tables V and VI. Thus,
we believe the Pennsylvania regulations are clear that the adhesives
used in printing operations were considered and that the state intended
to cover those adhesives.
    EPA addressed a portion of the adhesives and adhesive primers
category in the Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesive CTG. EPA's
Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesive CTG provides state and local air
pollution control authorities information that may assist them in
determining RACT for VOCs from miscellaneous industrial adhesive
application processes. In developing this Miscellaneous Industrial
Adhesive CTG, EPA, among other things, evaluated the sources of VOC
emissions from miscellaneous industrial adhesives application processes
and the available control approaches for addressing these emissions,
including the costs of such approaches. Based on available information
and data, EPA provided recommendations for RACT for miscellaneous
industrial adhesives. States can use the recommendations in the
Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesive CTG to inform their own determination
as to what constitutes RACT for VOCs for miscellaneous industrial
adhesive application processes in their particular nonattainment areas.
The Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesive CTG does not impose any legally
binding requirements on any entity nor are States required to adopt the
approach that EPA sets forth in a CTG. It provides only recommendations
for state and local air pollution control agencies to consider in
determining RACT. State and local pollution control agencies are free
to implement other technically-sound approaches that are consistent
with the CAA and EPA's implementing regulations or are more stringent.
Thus, whether or not the CTG expressly addressed the adhesives at issue
here is not relevant for determining whether Pennsylvania's rule
addressing those adhesives could be approved as part of the SIP.
    Section 110(k) of the CAA provides that EPA shall approve a SIP
revision submittal if it meets all of the applicable requirements of
the CAA. The primary CAA requirement for the adhesives and sealants
rule is that Pennsylvania set RACT for the Miscellaneous Industrial
Adhesive CTG category. For the reasons outlined in the NPR, EPA
believes that Pennsylvania has fulfilled this requirement (76 FR
53369). To the extent that Pennsylvania's rule goes beyond the
recommendation of the Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesive CTG, it does
not prohibit EPA from approving this rulemaking action. The OTC
developed a model rule as part of a regional effort to attain and
maintain the eight-hour ozone standard and reduce eight-hour ozone
levels. States opting to

promulgate rules based on this model rule utilize state-specific
administrative requirements and procedures. Similar to CTGs, the OTC
model rules are merely recommendations and are not required by the
Commonwealth for regulation purposes. However, Pennsylvania's adopted
25 Pa. Code Chapters 121, 129, and 130 are based on the OTC model rule.
The Commenter also suggests that these adhesives would be better
addressed in a separate rule on which the Commonwealth is currently
working. If the Commonwealth determines that the adhesives should be
addressed in a different rule, it can request that the SIP be revised.
However, the fact that the Commonwealth may choose at some future point
to regulate the adhesives under a separate rule is not a basis for
disapproving the current rule.

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving the Pennsylvania SIP revision which includes
amendments to 25 Pa. Code section 121.1 ``Definitions'' and section
129.51(a) ``Equivalency.'' EPA is also approving the Pennsylvania SIP
revisions adding 25 Pa. Code section 129.77 ``Control of emissions from
the use or application of adhesives, sealants, primers, and solvents''
and 25 Pa. Code sections 130.701-130.708 ``Adhesives, Sealants,
Primers, and Solvents General Provisions.'' EPA has determined that 25
Pa. Code sections 129.77 and 130.701 through 130.708 meet the
requirement for RACT for the Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesive CTG. EPA
has determined that the regulations will result in the reduction of VOC
emissions from the affected sources and meet the applicable
requirements of the CAA and applicable EPA regulations, guidance, and
policy and can therefore be approved.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 26, 2012. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action pertaining to pertaining to Pennsylvania's control
of VOCs from adhesives and sealants may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2) of the
CAA.)

    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be

    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    Under section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow manufacturers to
field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers are required to
obtain an EUP before testing new pesticides or new uses of pesticides
if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or more of land or
one acre or more of water. Following the review of the application and
any comments and data received in response to this solicitation, EPA
will decide whether to issue or deny the EUP request, and if issued,
the conditions under which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of an
EUP will be announced in the Federal Register. Therefore, pursuant to
40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the following EUP
application may be of regional and national significance, and therefore
is seeking public comment on the following EUP application:
    264-EUP-RUI. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2013-0732). Submitter: Bayer CropScience,
2 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709. Pesticide
chemical: Fluoxastrobin. Type of chemical: Fungicide. Summary of
request: For use as a seed treatment on corn for efficacy against
seedling infections of soilborne plant pathogenic fungi Fusarium,
Rhizoctonia, Pythium and Colletotrichum, and to aid in suppression of
late season stalk rot. This is a crop-destruct EUP. Amount of product
to be used: maximum of 0.162 milligram (mg) fluoxastrobin per seed with
a seed/pound (lb) average of 1,681 for field corn. Final planting no
later than March 1, 2014, with field testing complete within 2 years.

Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Model PC-6 Series
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted due to the
discovery of cracked or broken leaf springs P/N 6232.0175.01
installed in the overhead flap-operating mechanism of some PC-6
aircraft. A broken leaf spring could lead to an uncommanded flap
retraction which could lead to hazardous situations and subsequent
loss of control of the aircraft.

This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: This AD becomes effective August 11, 2008.
    On August 11, 2008, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this
AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA), which is the aviation
authority for Switzerland, has issued FOCA EMERGENCY AD HB-2008-242

(referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted due to the
discovery of cracked or broken leaf springs P/N 6232.0175.01
installed in the overhead flap-operating mechanism of some PC-6
aircraft. A broken leaf spring could lead to an uncommanded flap
retraction which could lead to hazardous situations and subsequent
loss of control of the aircraft.
    This AD is published by Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA)
Switzerland, as State of production and because it is possible that
the leaf springs were not manufactured properly.
    In order to correct and control the situation, this AD requires
the initial and repetitive inspections of the leaf springs in the
flap operating mechanism and the replacement of broken parts.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Pilatus Aircraft Limited has issued Pilatus PC-6 Service Bulletin
No. 27-002 and Pilatus PC-6 Service Bulletin 27-003, both dated July 2,
2008. The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the 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 this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and
determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    The MCAI allows for replacement parts with like parts that are
prone to cracking. The reason for the 25-hour repetitive inspection is
because the cracks are occurring quickly. We believe that allowing
replacement with the same part numbers that are cracking when improved
design part numbers exist allows the unsafe condition to continue.
Therefore we are requiring replacement with the new improved part
numbers if cracks are found.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because a
broken leaf spring could lead to an uncommanded flap retraction and
lead to loss of control during final approach. Therefore, we determined
that notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD
are impracticable and that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2008-0822; Directorate
Identifier 2008-CE-045-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD 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 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.
    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 above, 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); 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.
