14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA–2004–19001; Directorate 

Identifier 2004–NM–98–AD; Amendment 39–

13842; AD 2004–22–14] 

RIN 2120–AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Saab Model 

SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B Series 

Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Saab Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 

340B series airplanes. This AD requires 

an inspection of the elevator and aileron 

trim-tab fittings, and related 

investigative/corrective actions if 

necessary. This AD is prompted by 

reports of improperly installed rivets in 

the retainers that hold the elevator trimtab bearings. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent the elevator and aileron trim-tab 

bearings from coming loose, which 

could result in excessive play in the 

elevator and aileron trim systems, and 

reduced controllability of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

December 10, 2004. 

The incorporation by reference of a 

certain publication listed in the AD is 

approved by the Director of the Federal 

Register as of December 10, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

proposed to amend 14 CFR Part 39 with 

an AD for certain Saab Model SAAB 

SF340A and SAAB 340B series 

airplanes. That action, published in the 

Federal Register on September 3, 2004 

(69 FR 53846), proposed to require an 

inspection of the elevator and aileron 

trim-tab fittings, and related 

investigative/corrective actions if 

necessary. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. No comments 

have been submitted on the proposed 

AD or on the determination of the cost 

to the public. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data and determined that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

The following table provides the 

estimated costs for U.S. operators to 

comply with this AD.

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); 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. See the ADDRESSES section for 

a location to examine the regulatory 

evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 4, 2002, BIS published a 

notice of inquiry (67 FR 39675), 

requesting information from industry to 

assist BIS in evaluating the license 

exception eligibility level of 33,000 

MTOPS for exports and reexports of 

computer technology and software 

controlled under ECCNs 4D001 and 

4E001. BIS received four comments in 

response to the notice of inquiry, all 

stating that the license exception 

threshold should be adjusted. 

On October 24, 2003, BIS published a 

proposed rule with request for 

comments from industry (68 FR 60891) 

to expand the availability of License 

Exception CTP for exports and reexports 

of computer technology and software on 

the Commerce Control List (CCL) of the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR) under Export Classification 

Control Numbers (ECCNs) 4D001 and 

4E001. These ECCNs control technology 

and software that can be used for the 

development, production, or use of 

computers. The proposed rule also 

requested comments to assist BIS in 

evaluating microprocessor technology 

controlled under ECCN 3E002. BIS 

received eleven comments in response 

to the proposed rule and the questions 

posed in the preamble. BIS has decided 

to address computer technology and 

software and microprocessor technology 

in two different final rules. This final 

rule implements the license exception 

expansion for computer technology and 

software. The corresponding rule on 

license exception eligibility for 

microprocessor technology is published 

elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 

Register. 

Current Controls on Computer 

Technology and Software 

Export controls for computer 

technology and software are controlled 

multilaterally through the Wassenaar 

Arrangement. The current Wassenaar 

Arrangement (WA) control thresholds 

for computer technology and software 

are: 28,000 MTOPS for the Basic List 

(BL), 75,000 MTOPS for the Sensitive 

List (SL); and 150,000 MTOPS for the 

Very Sensitive List (VSL). (Note: the 

computer hardware level within WA 

(under the BL) and in the United States 

is currently at 190,000 MTOPS. 

Computer hardware is not controlled on 

WA’s SL and VSL.). 

The EAR control the export and 

reexport of technology and software for 

the development, production, or use of
