DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0425; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-273-AD;
Amendment 39-17604; AD 2013-19-22]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The
Boeing Company Model 717-200 airplanes. This AD was prompted by
multiple reports of cracks of overwing frames. This AD requires
repetitive inspections for cracking of the overwing frames, and
corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct such cracking that could sever a frame, which may increase the
loading of adjacent frames, and result in damage to the adjacent
structure and consequent loss of structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective November 6, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of November 6,
2013.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued an SNPRM (supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an airworthiness directive (AD) that
would apply to the specified products. The SNPRM published in the
Federal Register on May 6, 2013 (78 FR 26286). We preceded the SNPRM
with a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that published in the
Federal Register on May 9, 2012 (77 FR 27142). The NPRM (77 FR 27142,
May 9, 2012) proposed to require repetitive inspections for cracking of
the overwing frames, and corrective actions if necessary. The SNPRM
proposed to revise the initial compliance time and provide an optional
modification that would extend the compliance time for the next
repetitive inspection.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the SNPRM (78
FR 26286, May 6, 2013) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Correct Service Bulletin Title

    Boeing noted an error in the title of a service bulletin referenced
in paragraphs (h) and (h)(2) of the SNPRM (78 FR 26286, May 6, 2013).
Boeing requested the word ``Alert'' be removed with reference to
``Boeing `Alert' Service Bulletin 717-53-0035, dated June 8, 2012.''
    We agree with Boeing's request. We have revised paragraphs (h) and
(h)(2) of this final rule to correct the service bulletin title
accordingly, since the referenced service bulletin is not an ``Alert''
service bulletin.

Request To Provide Credit for Previous Actions

    Boeing stated that cracked overwing frames had been found during
scheduled inspections done in accordance with 717 Maintenance Task 53-
129-01, and that the frames were replaced as a consequence. Boeing
requested that we revise the SNPRM (78

FR 26286, May 6, 2013) to allow credit for work done prior to the
effective date of the SNPRM using 717 Maintenance Task 53-129-01.
Boeing stated those new frames should be given the same credit as the
frames that were replaced using Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 717-
53A0034, dated October 5, 2011.
    We disagree with the request to allow credit for frames replaced
using 717 Maintenance Task 53-129-01, which references the
manufacturer's original production drawing. Paragraph (i) of the SNPRM
(78 FR 26286, May 6, 2013) was added to allow credit for work done
prior to the effective date of this final rule using Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 717-53A0034, dated October 5, 2011, which references
Service Rework Drawing SR95530013. We disagree with changing this final
rule because due to a large number of configurations, Boeing would be
required to release numerous proprietary production drawings. However,
operators may apply for approval of an alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) (for credit for previously replaced frames) in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph (j) of this AD. We have not changed this
final rule in this regard.

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--and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
SNPRM (78 FR 26286, May 6, 2013) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM (78 FR 26286, May 6, 2013).
    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 129 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs

                                    per inspection
                                    cycle.

                                    cycle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements/
repairs that would be required based on the results of the inspections.
We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need
these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs

                                  $85 per hour =
                                  $1,020.
Replacement of a frame station.  130 work-hours x    Up to $86,977................  Up to $98,027.
                                  $85 per hour =
                                  $11,050.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    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.

Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Leonardo S.p.a. Model A109E helicopters. This AD was prompted
by reports that certain tail rotor gearbox assemblies were installed on
Model A109E helicopters and those parts are not approved for
installation on that helicopter model. Because those assemblies are not
part of the type design for Model A109E helicopters, there are no
overhaul or life limits included in the applicable maintenance manuals.
This AD requires replacement of each affected tail rotor gearbox
assembly with a serviceable part, as specified in a European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 27, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 27,
2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0031, dated January 22, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0031) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for Leonardo S.p.A., formerly Finmeccanica S.p.A., AgustaWestland
S.p.A., and Agusta S.p.A., Model A109E helicopters, all serial numbers
up to 11160 inclusive.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Leonardo S.p.a.
Model A109E helicopters. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
August 25, 2021 (86 FR 47427). The NPRM was prompted by reports that
certain tail rotor gearbox assemblies were installed on Model A109E
helicopters and those parts are not approved for installation on that

helicopter model. During revisions to the Model A109E technical
publications it was noted that the 90-degree tail rotor gearbox
assembly, part number (P/N) 109-0440-01-115, is included in the
illustrated parts catalog (IPC) for helicopters with serial numbers (S/
N) up to and including S/N 11160. The IPC incorrectly identifies this
part number as a replacement part for P/N 109-0440-01-119 or P/N 109-
0440-01-121. The NPRM proposed to require replacement of each affected
tail rotor gearbox assembly with a serviceable part, as specified in
EASA AD 2021-0031.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address installation of tail rotor
gearbox assembly P/N 109-0440-01-115 that is not approved for
installation on Model A109E helicopters. Because P/N 109-0440-01-115 is
not part of the type design for Model A109E helicopters, there are no
overhaul or life limits included in the applicable maintenance manuals.
If a tail rotor gearbox is not properly maintained it could fail,
resulting in reduced control of the helicopter. See EASA AD 2021-0031
for additional background information.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
requires adopting this AD as proposed. Except for minor editorial
changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the
changes will increase the economic burden on any operator. Accordingly,
the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0031 requires replacement of a tail rotor gearbox
assembly P/N 109-0440-01-115 with a serviceable part. EASA AD 2021-0031
also prohibits installation of tail rotor gearbox assembly P/N 109-
0440-01-115 on any Leonardo S.p.A. Model A109E 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 70 helicopters of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
                Action                         Labor cost           Parts cost        product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replacement...........................  12 work-hours x $85 per          $82,500         $83,520      $5,846,400
                                         hour = $1,020.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
operators.

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

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

2021-22-10 Leonardo S.p.a.: Amendment 39-21783; Docket No. FAA-2021-
0695; Project Identifier MCAI-2021-00096-R.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective December 27,
2021.

(b) Affected ADs

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft Service Component (JASC) Code: 6520, Tail Rotor
Gearbox.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports that certain tail rotor gearbox
assemblies were installed on Model A109E helicopters and those parts
are not approved for installation on that helicopter model. Because
tail rotor gearbox assembly part number (P/N) 109-0440-01-115 is not
part of the type design for Model A109E helicopters, there are no
overhaul or life limits included in the applicable maintenance
manuals. The FAA is issuing this AD to address installation of tail

rotor gearbox assembly P/N 109-0440-01-115 on Model A109E
helicopters that do not have overhaul or life limits for that part.
If a tail rotor gearbox is not properly maintained it could fail,
resulting in reduced control of the helicopter.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, EASA AD 2021-0031.

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2021-0031

    (1) Where EASA AD 2021-0031 requires compliance in terms of
flight hours, this AD requires using hours time-in-service.
    (2) Where EASA AD 2021-0031 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    (3) This AD does not mandate compliance with the ``Remarks''
section of EASA AD 2021-0031.

(i) No Reporting Requirement

    Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2021-0031
specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD
does not include that requirement.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, International Validation Branch, 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 International Validation Branch, send

Dewey, Assistant General Counsel, Colorado Interstate Gas Company,
L.L.C., P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, by telephone
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by fax at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's
public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary
reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA
(18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the
service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other
parties. A party must submit seven copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for
court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the eFiling link at
http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington,
DC 20426.
