AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

EVEKTOR, spol. s.r.o. Models L 13 SEH 

VIVAT and L 13 SDM VIVAT gliders 

(type certificate previously held by

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as lack of distinct color 

marking of the elevator drive. We are 

issuing this AD to require actions to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 12, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of July 12, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to EVEKTOR, spol. s.r.o. Models 

L 13 SEH VIVAT and L 13 SDM VIVAT 

gliders. The NPRM was published in the 

Federal Register on March 4, 2016 (81 

FR 11475). The NPRM proposed to 

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products and was based on 

mandatory continuing airworthiness 

information (MCAI) originated by an 

aviation authority of another country. 

The MCAI states: 

Colour marking of elevator drive is not 

inspected or re-painted during sailplane 

operation. The elevator drive is asymmetrical 

and improper installation causes significant 

elevator deflection changes. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at: https://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2016-4232- 

0003. 

A review of records revealed that the 

FAA inadvertently did not address this 

MCAI for the EVEKTOR, spol. s.r.o. 

Models L 13 SEH VIVAT and L 13 SDM 

VIVAT gliders and the BLANIK 

LIMITED Model L–13 AC Blanik gliders. 

This AD addresses this MCAI for the 

EVEKTOR, spol. s.r.o. Models L 13 SEH 

VIVAT and L 13 SDM VIVAT gliders 

and requires painting or re-painting the 

elevator drive mechanism a contrasting 

color to prevent the backward 

installation of the elevator drive 

bellcrank. 

The FAA is addressing the BLANIK 

LIMITED Model L–13 AC Blanik gliders 

in another AD action. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (81 

FR 11475, March 4, 2016) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 

11475, March 4, 2016) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 11475, 

March 4, 2016). 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed AEROTECHNIK CZ 

s.r.o. Mandatory Service Bulletin SEH 

13–003a, dated December 15, 1998. The 

service information describes 

procedures for painting the left arm of 

the elevator drive. This service 

information is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section of the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 9 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 1 

work-hour per product to comply with 

the basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts would cost about $10 per 

product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the AD on U.S. operators to 

be $855, or $95 per product. 

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 this AD: 

(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, 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. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2016– 

4232; or in person at the Docket
