AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for Fuji 

Heavy Industries, Ltd. Models FA–200– 

160, FA–200–180, and FA–200–180AO 

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 

deterioration of brake performance due 

to seal defects caused by deterioration 

due to age of the O-rings of the brake 

master cylinder. We are issuing this AD 

to require actions to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective September 9, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of September 9, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to add an AD that would apply 

to Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. Models 

FA–200–160, FA–200–180, and FA– 

200–180AO airplanes. The NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 19, 2014 (79 FR 28647). The NPRM 

proposed to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products and was 

based on mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country. The MCAI was issued 

based on reports of deterioration of 

brake performance due to seal defects 

caused by deterioration due to age of the 

O-rings of the brake master cylinder on 

the affected airplanes, which could 

result in reduced or loss of control 

during ground operations. The MCAI 

requires repetitive replacement of any 

O-ring of the brake master cylinders. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at: http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0311- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 28647, May 19, 2014) 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 this 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 (79 FR 

28647, May 19, 2014) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 28647, 

May 19, 2014). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 3 

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 AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

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

be $255, or $85 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 8 work-hours and require parts 

costing $10, for a cost of $690 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 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–2014– 

0311; or in person at the Docket

play of the Lower Half Scissor Spherical 

Bearing (bearing) and removing the 

bearing if there is play beyond allowable 

limits. This AD also requires removing 

all affected bearings. This AD is 

prompted by reports of certain bearings 

dislodging from certain M/R Rotating 

Scissors. These actions are intended to 

detect excessive play of the bearing and 

prevent failure of the M/R Rotating 

Scissors and subsequent loss of control 

of the helicopter.
