Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca 

S.A. Turboshaft Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 2B and 2B1 

turboshaft engines. This AD was 

prompted by the discovery of nonconformities of certain power turbine 

(PT) blade fir-tree roots. This AD 

requires removing the affected PT 

blades from service on or before 

reaching a new reduced life limit for 

those certain PT blades. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent PT blade rupture, 

which could result in an uncommanded 

in-flight engine shutdown, forced 

autorotation landing, or accident. 

DATES: This AD is effective May 30, 

2012. 

ADDRESSES: For service information 

identified in this AD, contact 

Turbomeca, 40220 Tarnos, France; 

phone: 33 05 59 74 40 00; fax: 33 05 59

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 published in the Federal 

Register on January 20, 2012 (77 FR 

2930). That NPRM proposed to require 

removing the affected PT blades from 

service on or before reaching a new 

reduced life limit for those certain PT 

blades. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM 

(77 FR 2930, January 20, 2012). 

Clarification of Compliance Time 

Since we issued the proposed AD, we 

determined that we need to clarify the 

compliance time. The proposed AD 

stated 5,000 flight cycles. We changed 

the AD to state 5,000 flight cycles-sincenew. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the change described previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this AD will affect about 

150 engines installed on helicopters of 

U.S. registry. We also estimate that it 

will take about 4 work-hours per 

product to comply with this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

A prorated replacement M04 module 

will cost about $20,000 per engine. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

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

$3,051,000. 

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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

Addition of Certain Persons to the 

Entity List; and Implementation of 

Entity List Annual Review Changes 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) by 

adding to the Entity List two persons 

who have been determined by the U.S. 

Government to be acting contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. These 

persons will be listed on the Entity List 

under the country of France. 

This rule also amends the Entity List 

on the basis of the annual review of the 

Entity List conducted by the End-User 

Review Committee (ERC). The ERC 

conducts the annual review to 

determine if any entries on the Entity 

List should be removed or modified. 

This rule reflects the results of the ERC’s 

annual review of fifteen countries, i.e. 

Armenia, Belarus, Egypt, Germany, Iran, 

Ireland, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, 

Norway, Russia, South Korea, Syria, the 

United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), and the 

United Kingdom (U.K.). As a result of 

these reviews, this rule makes 

amendments to the Entity List 

including: The removal of three entries 

(one each in Germany, South Korea, and 

the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.)); the 

addition of four entities (one each in 

Canada, Egypt, France and the United 

Kingdom); and the amendments of 

seventeen entries to provide alternate 

addresses, alternate spellings of names, 

and/or aliases for listed persons. The 

amended entries are in Armenia, 

Germany, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and the 

U.A.E. sections of the Entity List. 

The Entity List provides notice to the 

public that certain exports, reexports, 

and transfers (in-country) to entities 

identified on the Entity List require a 

license from the Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS) and that availability of 

license exceptions in such transactions 

is limited. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is 

effective April 25, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to 

Part 744) provides notice to the public 

that certain exports, reexports, and 

transfers (in-country) to entities 

identified on the Entity List require a 

license from the Bureau of Industry and 

Security and that the availability of 

license exceptions in such transactions 

is limited. Entities are placed on the 

Entity List on the basis of certain 

sections of part 744 (Control Policy: 

End-User and End-Use Based) of the 

EAR. 

The ERC, composed of representatives 

of the Departments of Commerce 

(Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, 

when appropriate, the Treasury, makes 

all decisions regarding additions to, 

removals from, or other modifications to 

the Entity List. The ERC makes all 

decisions to add an entry to the Entity 

List by majority vote and all decisions 

to remove or modify an entry by 

unanimous vote. 

ERC Entity List Decisions 

Additions to the Entity List 

This rule implements the decision of 

the ERC to add two persons, located in 

France, to the Entity List on the basis of 

Section 744.11 (license requirements 

that apply to entities acting contrary to 

the national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States) of the 

EAR. The ERC reviewed Section 

744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity 

List) in making the determination to add 

the two persons located in France to the 

Entity List. Under that paragraph, 

persons for which there is reasonable 

cause to believe, based on specific and 

articulable facts, that the persons have 

been involved, are involved, or pose a 

significant risk of being or becoming 

involved in, activities that are contrary 

to the national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States and those 

acting on behalf of such persons may be 

added to the Entity List pursuant to 

Section 744.11. Paragraphs (b)(1)–(b)(5) 

of Section 744.11 include an illustrative 

list of activities that could be contrary 

to the national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. 

The ERC has reasonable cause to 

believe that the two persons in France 

(one company and one individual, an 

employee of the company) have been 

involved, are involved, or pose a 

significant risk of being or becoming 

involved in, activities that could be 

contrary to the national security or 

foreign policy interests of the United 

States. Specifically, BIS’s investigation 

of the company, Toulouse Air Spares 

SAS, indicates direct physical and 

corporate nexus with Aerotechnic 

France SAS, an Entity List person (76 

FR 37632, 6/28/2011). Therefore, 

pursuant to Section 744.11(b)(5) of the 

EAR, the ERC determined that the 

company Toulouse Air Spares SAS and 

Laurence Mattiucci, the company’s 

president, are engaging in conduct that 

poses a risk of violating the EAR and 

that such conduct raises sufficient 

concern that prior review of exports, 

reexports or transfers (in-country) of 

items subject to the EAR involving 

either of the two persons, and the 

possible imposition of license 

conditions or license denials, will 

enhance BIS’s ability to prevent 

violations of the EAR. 

For both of the persons added to the 

Entity List, the ERC specified a license 

requirement for all items subject to the 

EAR and established a license 

application review policy of a 

presumption of denial. The license 

requirement applies to any transaction 

in which items are to be exported, 

reexported, or transferred (in-country) to 

such persons or in which such persons 

act as purchaser, intermediate 

consignee, ultimate consignee, or enduser. In addition, no license exceptions 

are available for exports, reexports, or 

transfers (in-country) to those persons 

being added to the Entity List. 

This final rule adds the following two 

persons to the Entity List: 

France 

(1) Toulouse Air Spares SAS, 8 Rue de 

la Bruyere, 31120 Pinsaguel, Toulouse, 

France; and 

(2) Laurence Mattiucci, 8 Rue de la 

Bruyere, 31120 Pinsaguel, Toulouse, 

France. 

Annual Review of the Entity List 

This rule also amends the Entity List 

on the basis of the annual review of the
