**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 wasprompted 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 74 45 15.

. **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 changedthe 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

**RIN 0694–AF57**

**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.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Karen Nies-Vogel, Chair, End-User Review Committee, Office of the Assistant Secretary, Export Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, Phone: (202) 482–5991, Fax: (202) 482– 3911, Email: ERC@bis.doc.gov.

**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, intermediateconsignee, 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
