PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

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

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 

2012–0424; Directorate Identifier 2011– 

NM–004–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by June 15, 

2012. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to The Boeing Company 

Model 777–200, –200LR, –300, –300ER, and 

777F series airplanes, certificated in any 

category, as identified in Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 777–32A0082, dated 

December 9, 2010. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/ 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of America 

Code 32, Landing Gear. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by heat damage 

and cracks at the pivot joint location of the 

main landing gear (MLG) cylinder/truck 

beam. We are issuing this AD to detect and 

correct cracking in the MLG center axle and 

shock strut inner cylinder lugs (pivot joint), 

which could result in fracture of the MLG 

pivot joint components and consequent 

collapse of the MLG. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Repetitive Lubrication and Inspections 

At the applicable compliance times 

specified in paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777–32A0082, 

dated December 9, 2010, except as provided 

by paragraph (i) of this AD: Lubricate the 

MLG pivot joints; do a detailed inspection of 

the outer diameter chrome on the center 

axles of the MLG for chicken-wire cracks, 

corrosion, and chrome plate distress; do a 

magnetic particle inspection of the outer 

diameter chrome on the center axles of the 

MLG for cracks; and do all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions; in 

accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

777–32A0082, dated December 9, 2010. 

Repeat the lubrication and inspections

December 9, 2010. Do all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions before 

further flight. 

(h) Definition 

For the purposes of this AD, chicken-wire 

cracks are defined as cracks that occur when 

stress created in the chrome deposit during 

plating is relieved. The cracks are evident in 

the deposited chrome when viewed from a 

perpendicular plane as a pattern similar to 

chicken wire. Crack size can vary with 

plating conditions. 

(i) Exception to Service Information 

Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777– 

32A0082, dated December 9, 2010, specifies 

a compliance time after the original issue 

date of that service bulletin, this AD requires 

compliance within the specified compliance 

time after the effective date of this AD. 

(j) Optional Actions for Compliance With 

Paragraph (g) of This AD 

(1) Doing the detailed and magnetic 

particle inspections in accordance with Part 

2 of the Accomplishment Instructions of 

Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 

777–32–0080, dated July 10, 2008; or Boeing 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 777–32– 

0080, Revision 1, dated April 16, 2009; is 

considered acceptable for compliance with 

the inspections of the center axle of the MLG 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD. 

(2) Replacing the MLG left and right center 

axles with new, overhauled, or serviceable 

center axles, or changing the center axles by

with the Accomplishment Instructions of 

Boeing Service Bulletin 777–32A0085, dated 

April 14, 2011; is considered acceptable for 

compliance with lubricating of the MLG 

pivot joints and inspecting the center axles 

of the MLG as required by paragraph (g) of 

this AD. 

(k) Special Flight Permit 

Special flight permits may be issued in 

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to 

a location where the airplane can be

Background and Purpose 

On September 15 and 16, 2012, the 

Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association 

will sponsor power boat races on the 

Patuxent River near Solomons, MD. The 

event consists of offshore power boats 

racing in a counter-clockwise direction 

on an irregularly-shaped course located 

between the Governor Thomas Johnson 

Memorial (SR–4) Bridge and the U.S. 

Naval Air Station Patuxent River, MD. 

The start and finish lines will be located 

near the Solomons Pier. A large 

spectator fleet is expected during the 

event. Due to the need for vessel control 

during the event, the Coast Guard will 

temporarily restrict vessel traffic in the 

event area to provide for the safety of 

participants, spectators, and other 

transiting vessels. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Coast Guard proposes to establish 

temporary special local regulations on 

specified waters of the Patuxent River. 

The regulations will be in effect from 10 

a.m. on September 15, 2012 through 6 

p.m. on September 16, 2012. The 

regulated area, approximately 4,000 

yards in length and 1,700 yards in 

width, includes all waters of the 

Patuxent River, within lines connecting 

the following positions: From latitude 

38°19′45′′ N, longitude 076°28′06′′ W, 

thence to latitude 38°19′24′′ N, 

longitude 076°28′30′′ W, thence to 

latitude 38°18′32′′ N, longitude 

076°28′14′′ W; and from latitude 

38°17′38′′ N, longitude 076°27′26′′ W, 

thence to latitude 38°18′00′′ N, 

longitude 076°26′41′′ W, thence to 

latitude 38°18′59′′ N, longitude 

076°27′20′′ W, located in Solomons, 

Maryland. The effect of this proposed 

rule will be to restrict general navigation 

in the regulated area during the event. 

Spectator vessels will be allowed to 

view the event from a designated 

spectator area within the regulated area, 

which will be located within a line 

connecting the following positions: 

latitude 38°19′00′′ N, longitude 

076°28′22′′ W, thence to latitude 

38°19′07′′ N, longitude 076°28′12′′ W, 

thence to latitude 38°18′53′′ N, 

longitude 076°27′55′′; W, thence to 

latitude 38°18′30′′ N, longitude 

076°27′45′′ W, thence to latitude 

38°18′00′′ N, longitude 076°27′11′′ W, 

thence to latitude 38°17′54′′ N, 

longitude 076°27′20′′ W, thence to the 

point of origin at latitude 38°19′00′′ N, 

longitude 076°28′22′′ W. Spectator

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 84 / Tuesday, May 1, 2012 / Proposed Rules 25651 

regulated area may not block the 

navigable channel. Other vessels 

intending to transit the Patuxent River 

will be allowed to safely transit around 

the regulated area. These regulations are 

needed to control vessel traffic during 

the event to ensure the safety of 

participants, spectators, and transiting 

vessels. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as supplemented 

by Executive Order 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 

does not require an assessment of 

potential costs and benefits under 

section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 

or under section 1 of Executive Order 

13563. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under those 

Orders. We expect the economic impact 

of this proposed rule to be so minimal 

that a full Regulatory Evaluation under 

the regulatory policies and procedures 

of DHS is unnecessary. Although this 

regulation will prevent traffic from 

transiting a portion of the Patuxent 

River during the event, the effect of this 

regulation will not be significant due to 

the limited duration that the regulated 

area will be in effect and the extensive 

advance notifications that will be made 

to the maritime community via the 

Local Notice to Mariners and marine 

information broadcasts, so mariners can 

adjust their plans accordingly. 

Additionally, the regulated area has 

been narrowly tailored to impose the 

least impact on general navigation yet 

provide the level of safety determined to 

be necessary. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

whether this proposed rule would have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises 

small businesses, not-for-profit 

organizations that are independently 

owned and operated and are not 

dominant in their fields, and 

governmental jurisdictions with 

populations of less than 50,000. 

The Coast Guard certifies under 5 

U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. This proposed rule would affect 

the following entities, some of which 

might be small entities: The owners or 

operators of vessels intending to transit 

or anchor in the affected portions of the 

Patuxent River during the event. 

Although this regulation prevents 

traffic from transiting a portion of the 

Patuxent River at Solomons, MD during 

the event, this proposed rule will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

for the following reasons. This proposed 

rule would be in effect for only a limited 

period. Before the enforcement period, 

we will issue maritime advisories so 

mariners can adjust their plans 

accordingly. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on it, 

please submit a comment (see 

ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it 

qualifies and how and to what degree 

this rule would economically affect it. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this proposed rule so that 

they can better evaluate its effects on 

them and participate in the rulemaking. 

If the rule would affect your small 

business, organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please contact Coast Guard 

Sector Baltimore, MD. The Coast Guard 

will not retaliate against small entities 

that question or complain about this 

proposed rule or any policy or action of 

the Coast Guard. 

Collection of Information 

This proposed rule would call for no 

new collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on the States, on the relationship 

between the national government and 

the States, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government. We have 

analyzed this proposed rule under that 

Order and determined that this rule 

does not have implications for 

federalism. 

Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places, or vessels. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this 

proposed rule would not result in such 

an expenditure, we do discuss the 

effects of this rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule would not cause a 

taking of private property or otherwise 

have taking implications under 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference with 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights. 

Civil Justice Reform 

This proposed rule meets applicable 

standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform, to minimize litigation, 

eliminate ambiguity, and reduce 

burden. 

Protection of Children 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Executive Order 13045, 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks. This rule is not an economically 

significant rule and would not create an 

environmental risk to health or risk to 

safety that might disproportionately 

affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

This proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications under Executive 

Order 13175, Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments, because it would not have 

a substantial direct effect on one or 

more Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects 

This proposed rule is not a 

‘‘significant energy action’’ under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

Technical Standards 

This proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, which guide the Coast 

Guard in complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have made a preliminary determination 

that this action is one of a category of 

actions that do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. This proposed 

rule involves implementation of 

regulations within 33 CFR part 100 

applicable to organized marine events 

on the navigable waters of the United 

States that could negatively impact the 

safety of waterway users and shore side 

activities in the event area. The category 

of water activities includes but is not 

limited to sail boat regattas, boat 

parades, power boat racing, swimming 

events, crew racing, canoe and sail 

board racing. We seek any comments or 

information that may lead to the 

discovery of a significant environmental 

impact from this proposed rule.
