Discussion 

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), 

which is the aviation authority for New 

Zealand, has issued AD DCA/750XL/ 

16A, dated June 18, 2014 (referred to 

after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

42722 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 141 / Wednesday, July 23, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

unsafe condition for Pacific Aerospace 

Limited Model 750XL airplanes and was 

based on mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information originated by 

an aviation authority of another country. 

The MCAI states: 

To prevent failure of the fin forward 

pickup due to possible fatigue cracks, inspect 

the fitting per the instructions in Pacific 

Aerospace Limited Mandatory Service 

Bulletin (MSB) PACSB/XL/068 issue 3, dated 

29 May 2014. 

If any cracks are found, replace both plates 

per PACSB/XL/068, before further flight. 

You may examine the MCAI on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2014–0494. 

Relevant Service Information 

Pacific Aerospace Limited has issued 

Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) 

PACSB/XL/068, issue 3, dated May 29, 

2014. The actions described in this 

service information are intended to 

correct the unsafe condition identified 

in the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, they have notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all 

information and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

will affect 17 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 proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $1,445, or $85 per 

product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 5 work-hours and require parts 

costing $328, for a cost of $753 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

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 proposed 

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 proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would 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 proposed regulation: 

(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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

Pacific Aerospace Limited: Docket No. FAA– 

2014–0494; Directorate Identifier 2014– 

CE–017–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by September 

8, 2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Pacific Aerospace 

Limited Model 750XL airplanes, all serial 

numbers, certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 53: Fuselage. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated 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 failure of 

the fin forward pickup due to possible fatigue 

cracks. We are issuing this proposed AD to 

detect and correct cracked fin forward pickup 

fittings to prevent failure of the fin forward 

pickup. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Do the following actions as specified in 

paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(2), including all 

subparagraphs, of this AD, unless already 

done: 

(1) Inspect the fin forward pickup fittings 

for cracks on or before 2,000 hours total timein-service (TTIS) or 150 hours time-in-service 

(TIS) after the effective date of this AD, 

whichever occurs later, and repetitively 

thereafter at intervals not to exceed 600 hours 

TIS or annual inspection, whichever occurs 

first. Follow Pacific Aerospace Limited 

Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) PACSB/ 

XL/068, issue 3, dated May 29, 2014. 

Note 1 to paragraph (f)(1) of this AD: The 

MCAI mentions actions that are different for 

standard category versus restricted category 

airplanes. The Pacific Aerospace Limited 

Model 750XL airplane is only type 

certificated in the normal (standard) category 

in the United States so these are the actions 

that are specified in this AD. 

(2) If you find any cracks as a result of any 

inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this 

AD, before further flight, replace both plates. 

Do the replacement following Pacific 

Aerospace Limited Mandatory Service 

Bulletin (MSB) PACSB/XL/068, issue 3, 

dated May 29, 2014. 

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by creating Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 4-mile 

radius of Lampson Field, Lakeport, CA. 

Controlled airspace is needed for RNAV 

(GPS) standard instrument approaches 

and departures. This action would 

enhance the safety and management of 

aircraft operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

Part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in this 

Order. 

The FAA has determined this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated
