AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

PILATUS Aircraft Ltd. Model PC–7 

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 the 

potential for a spring on the air 

conditioning compressor clutch plate to 

shear the oil cooler inlet-hose due to the 

close routing of these parts without a 

protective cover. We are issuing this AD 

to require actions to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective May 19, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of May 19, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to adding an AD that would 

apply to PILATUS Aircraft Ltd. Model 

PC–7 airplanes. The NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 29, 2015 (80 FR 4810). The 

NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products and 

was based on mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
19882 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 71 / Tuesday, April 14, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country. The MCAI states: 

This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is 

prompted due to an unprotected routing of 

the oil cooler inlet-hose close to the air 

conditioning compressor clutch plate. 

If a spring on the compressor clutch plate 

shears it could lead to a damage of the oil 

hose and the engine oil can spill into the 

engine bay. 

In order to correct and control the 

situation, this AD requires the installation of 

a cover assembly which will be mounted on 

the attachment points of the compressor. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at: http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-1002- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (80 

FR 4810, January 29, 2015) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (80 FR 4810, 

January 29, 2015) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (80 FR 4810, 

January 29, 2015). 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed PILATUS Aircraft Ltd. 

PILATUS PC–7 Service Bulletin No: 21– 

012, dated November 4, 2014. The 

service information describes actions for 

installation of a cover assembly 

(between the compressor clutch plate 

and the oil hose) to protect the oil hose. 

This information is reasonably available 

at http://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2015–0132, or see ADDRESSES for 

other ways to access this service 

information. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

10 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 6 

work-hours per product to comply with 

the basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts would cost about $1,250 

per product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

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

be $17,600, or $1,760 per product. 

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 

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. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

0132; or in person at the Docket

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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: 

2015–07–04 Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.: 

Amendment 39–18132; Docket No. 

FAA–2015–0132; Directorate Identifier 

2014–CE–038–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes 

effective May 19, 2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. 

Model PC–7 airplanes, all serial numbers, 

that: 

(1) have not incorporated the actions of any 

version of PILATUS PC–7 Service Bulletin 

No: 21–006, which allows for the installation 

of a different air conditioning compressor 

mounted at a different location and makes 

the unsafe condition nonexistent; and 

(2) are certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 21: Air Conditioning. 

(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 the 

potential for a spring on the air conditioning 

compressor clutch plate to shear the oil 

cooler inlet-hose due to the close routing of 

these parts without a protective cover. We are 

issuing this AD to correct the unprotected 

routing of the oil cooler inlet-hose, which 

could lead to damage of the oil hose resulting 

in an engine oil spill into the engine bay. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, within the next 120 

days after May 19, 2015 (the effective date of 

this AD), install a cover assembly on the 

attachment points of the compressor 

following the Accomplishment Instructions 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, New 

Orleans, LA 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of deviation from 

drawbridge regulations. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule that governs the Senator Ted 

Hickey (Leon C. Simon Blvd./Seabrook) 

bascule bridge across the Inner Harbor 

Navigation Canal, mile 4.6, at New 

Orleans, Louisiana. The deviation is 

necessary to ensure the safety of 

participants in the Ochsner Ironman 

70.3 New Orleans event as they travel 

across the bridge as part of the bike and 

run courses. This deviation allows the 

bridge to remain in the closed-tonavigation position continuously during 

the event. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

8 a.m. through 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 

19, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: The docket for this 

deviation, [USCG–2015–0258] is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast 

Guard received a request for a 

temporary deviation for the Senator Ted 

Hickey (Leon C. Simon Blvd./Seabrook) 

crossing the Inner Harbor Navigation 

Canal, mile 4.6, in New Orleans, 

Louisiana to remain in the closed-tonavigation position for a nine-hour 

period during the Ochsner Ironman 

70.3, on April 19, 2015. The bridge 

owner also received a request to close 

the bridge to all traffic during the 

Ironman event, which was approved. 

The bridge provides 45 feet in the 

closed-to-navigation position above 

mean sea level. Currently, according to 

33 CFR 117.458(c), the draw of the 

Senator Ted Hickey (Leon C. Simon 

Blvd./Seabrook), mile 4.6, shall open on 

signal from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.; except the 

bridge need not open from 7 a.m. to 8:30 

a.m. and 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday 

through Friday. From 8 p.m. to 7 a.m., 

the draw shall open on signal if at least 

two hours notice is given. This 

deviation allows the draw span of the 

bridge to remain closed to navigation 

between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Sunday, 

April 19, 2015, while the Ironman 

participants travel across the bridge as 

part of the race course. Navigation on 

the waterway consists mainly of tugs 

with tows. As a result of coordination 

between the Coast Guard and the 

waterway users, it has been determined 

that this closure will not have a 

significant effect on these vessels. The 

Coast Guard will inform users through 

the Local and Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners of the closure period. There is 

an alternate route available via the 

Rigolets Pass to vessel traffic. Vessels 

that can pass under the bridge in the 

closed-to-navigation position can do so 

at any time. For the duration of the
