Airworthiness Directives; Piaggio Aero 

Industries S.p.A. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for Piaggio 

Aero Industries S.p.A. Model P–180 

airplanes. This AD results 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: 

Some lock sleeves (part number (P/N) 

114146681), which were installed in some 

Main Landing Gear (MLG) actuators, had 

been incorrectly manufactured. 

If left uncorrected, this condition could 

lead to failure to lock the MLG actuator or 

to its unlock from the correct position, with 

subsequent possible damage to the aeroplane 

and injuries to occupants during landing. 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective December 

22, 2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of December 22, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on September 1, 2011 (76 FR 

54403). That NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Some lock sleeves (part number (P/N) 

114146681), which were installed in some 

Main Landing Gear (MLG) actuators, had 

been incorrectly manufactured. 

If left uncorrected, this condition could 

lead to failure to lock the MLG actuator or 

to its unlock from the correct position, with 

subsequent possible damage to the aeroplane 

and injuries to occupants during landing. 

This AD requires replacing defective MLG 

actuators with serviceable ones. 

Defective actuators can be repaired by the 

manufacturer and identified with the ‘‘P180– 

32–29’’ marking on the name plate. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comments received. 

Comment Issue: MLG Actuator 

Compliance Time 

Carlo Cardu, Piaggio Aero Industries, 

stated the MLG actuator has a life-limit 

based on landings and most operators 

note the landings accrued on the 

actuator. Mr. Cardu reasoned that for 

operators with a higher hours time-inservice (TIS)/landing ratio (more than 

1), the AD compliance limit presented 

in hours TIS would be more stringent 

than required. As for operators with a 

lower hours TIS/landing ratio, the AD 

compliance limit presented in hours TIS 

would be relaxed with reference to the 

compliance time of the service 

information. Mr. Cardu recommended 

changing the actuator replacement 

compliances times to read: 

before affected MLG actuators reach 3000 

landings, replace * * *; only if landings data 

are not available, replace the affected 

actuator before 3000 FH TIS * * * or similar 

statement 

The FAA agrees with the commenter 

and we changed paragraph (f)(3) of the 

AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We determined that these changes will 

not increase the economic burden on 

any operator or increase the scope of the 

AD. 

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. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. 

Any such differences are highlighted in 

a NOTE within the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

102 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 0.5 workhour per product to comply with the 

basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts will cost about $0 per 

product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

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

be $4,335, or $43 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions will take 

about 7 work-hours and require parts 

costing $64,822, for a cost of $65,417 

per product. There are a maximum of 17 

actuators that are identified by the 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 222 / Thursday, November 17, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 71247 

manufacturer that will be required to be 

replaced. We have no way of 

determining the number of affected 

airplanes on the U.S. registry that may 

have these actuators that may have to be 

replaced by these actions. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

There is a warranty expiration date for 

the replacement of the actuators. The 

FAA recommends owners/operators that 

have affected main landing gear 

actuators contact the manufacturer 

immediately and replace the actuators 

under warranty. 

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 

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. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Management Facility between 

9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD 

docket contains the NPRM (76 FR 

54403), the regulatory evaluation, any 

comments received, and other 

information. The street address for the 

Docket Office (telephone (800) 647– 

5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. 

Comments will be available in the AD 

docket shortly after receipt.

SA0703801, SA0705520, SA0706219, 

SA0706960, or SA0706961. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 32: Landing Gear. 

(e) Reason 

The mandatory continuing airworthiness 

information (MCAI) states: 

Some lock sleeves (part number (P/N) 

114146681), which were installed in some 

Main Landing Gear (MLG) actuators, had 

been incorrectly manufactured. 

If left uncorrected, this condition could 

lead to failure to lock the MLG actuator or 

to its unlock from the correct position, with 

subsequent possible damage to the aeroplane 

and injuries to occupants during landing. 

This AD requires replacing defective MLG 

actuators with serviceable ones. 

Defective actuators can be repaired by the 

manufacturer and identified with the ‘‘P180– 

32–29’’ marking on the name plate. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions: 

(1) Within 25 hours time-in-service (TIS) 

after December 22, 2011 (the effective date of 

this AD), inspect both installed MLG 

actuators to determine if an affected P/N and 

S/N actuator is installed. 

(2) If any affected P/N and S/N actuator is 

identified with the ‘‘P180–32–29’’ marking 

on the name plate, no further action is 

required by this AD on that actuator. 

(3) If one or both affected MLG actuators 

are not identified with the ‘‘P180–32–29’’ 

marking on the name plate, before reaching 

a total of 3,000 landings on the actuator or 

within the next 150 landings after December 

22, 2011 (the effective date of this AD), 

whichever occurs later, replace the affected 

actuator(s) with serviceable parts following 

Part B of the Accomplishments Instructions 

of Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Mandatory 

Service Bulletin No. 80–0304, dated July 9, 

2010. If landing data is not available, the use 

of a one-to-one landing to flight hour 

conversion must be applied (example: 3,000 

landings equal 3,000 hours TIS). 

(4) After December 22, 2011 (the effective 

date of this AD), do not install any MLG 

actuator having an affected P/N and S/N, 

unless it is identified with the ‘‘P180–32–29’’ 

marking on the name plate. 

Note 1: There is a warranty expiration date 

for the replacement of the actuators. The 

FAA recommends owners/operators that 

have affected main landing gear actuators 

contact the manufacturer immediately and 

replace the actuators under warranty. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: None.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) is amending its 

regulations regarding the declaration of 

certified color additives on the labels of 

animal food including animal feeds and 

pet foods. FDA is issuing a final 

regulation in response to the Nutrition 

Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (the 

1990 amendments), which amended the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(the FD&C Act) by requiring, among 

other things, the listing on food labels 

of the common or usual names of all 

color additives required to be certified 

by FDA. An additional purpose of this 

final rule is to make these regulations 

consistent with the regulations 

regarding the declaration of certified 

color additives on the labels of human 

food. The final rule also suggests 

appropriate terminology for the 

declaration of certification-exempt color 

additives on the labels of animal food. 

DATES: This rule is effective November 

18, 2013.
