Airworthiness Directives; SOCATA 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

SOCATA Model TBM 700 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: 

A TBM 700 operator reported a case of 

elevator trim tab actuator jamming once the 

trim tab arrived to stop. 

The investigations conducted by the trim 

tab actuator manufacturer have shown that 

there was a discrepancy with PRECILEC 

manufacturing process of elevator trim tab 

actuator which caused this event. It has been 

determined as well that this discrepancy is 

limited to a batch of Serial Numbers (S/N). 

If not detected and corrected, a jammed 

trim tab could lead to unusual control forces, 

resulting in lower controllability, particularly 

if combined with adverse flight conditions at 

landing. 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

September 19, 2011. 

On September 19, 2011, the Director 

of the Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in this AD.

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 was published in the Federal 

Register on May 25, 2011 (76 FR 30295). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

A TBM 700 operator reported a case of 

elevator trim tab actuator jamming once the 

trim tab arrived to stop. 

The investigations conducted by the trim 

tab actuator manufacturer have shown that 

there was a discrepancy with PRECILEC 

manufacturing process of elevator trim tab 

actuator which caused this event. It has been 

determined as well that this discrepancy is 

limited to a batch of Serial Numbers (S/N). 

If not detected and corrected, a jammed 

trim tab could lead to unusual control forces, 

resulting in lower controllability, particularly 

if combined with adverse flight conditions at 

landing. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires the inspection of the elevators trim 

tab actuator P/N 6071017251 for 

identification of S/N and, in case of findings, 

the replacement of the affected ones with 

serviceable units. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. 

Any such differences are highlighted in 

a NOTE within the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

377 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. 

Required parts would cost about $0 per 

product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

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

be $32,045, or $85 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 7 work-hours and require parts 

costing $0, for a cost of $595 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with RULES
50406 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 157 / Monday, August 15, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

(3) 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD Docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Management Facility between 

9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD 

docket contains the NPRM, the 

regulatory evaluation, any comments 

received, and other information. The 

street address for the Docket Office 

(telephone (800) 647–5527) is in the 

ADDRESSES section. Comments will be 

available in the AD docket shortly after 

receipt.

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: 

2011–17–06 SOCATA: Amendment 39– 

16770; Docket No. FAA–2011–0530; 

Directorate Identifier 2011–CE–012–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective September 19, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to SOCATA Model 

TBM 700 airplanes, serial numbers 1 through 

530, certificated in any category. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 27: Flight Controls. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

A TBM 700 operator reported a case of 

elevator trim tab actuator jamming once the 

trim tab arrived to stop. 

The investigations conducted by the trim 

tab actuator manufacturer have shown that 

there was a discrepancy with PRECILEC 

manufacturing process of elevator trim tab 

actuator which caused this event. It has been 

determined as well that this discrepancy is 

limited to a batch of Serial Numbers (S/N). 

If not detected and corrected, a jammed 

trim tab could lead to unusual control forces, 

resulting in lower controllability, particularly 

if combined with adverse flight conditions at 

landing. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires the inspection of the elevators trim 

tab actuator P/N 6071017251 for 

identification of S/N and, in case of findings, 

the replacement of the affected ones with 

serviceable units. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions: 

(1) Within 12 months after September 19, 

2011 (the effective date of this AD), identify 

the serial number (S/N) of Left Hand and 

Right Hand PRECILEC elevator trim tab 

actuators following DAHER–SOCATA 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70–190–27, 

dated January 2011. 

(2) If, as a result of the inspection required 

by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD you find any 

affected elevator trim tab actuator as listed in 

DAHER–SOCATA Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB 70–190–27, dated January 2011, 

installed on an airplane, before further flight, 

replace it with a serviceable part following 

DAHER–SOCATA Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB 70–190–27, dated January 2011. 

(3) After September 19, 2011 (the effective 

date of this AD), do not install on an airplane 

any PRECILEC elevator trim tab actuator part 

number 6071017251 with an S/N listed in 

DAHER–SOCATA Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB 70–190–27, dated January 2011, 

unless it has been repaired in accordance 

with DAHER–SOCATA Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB 70–190–27, dated January 2011. 

Note 1: Trim tab actuators repaired by a 

service center are identified with screw green 

colored locking varnish as shown in figure 2 

of DAHER–SOCATA Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB 70–190–27, dated January 2011. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: No

Addition of Persons Acting Contrary to 

the National Security or Foreign Policy 

Interests of the United States to the 

Entity List; and Implementation of 

Additional Changes From the Annual 

Review of the Entity List 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) by 

adding fifteen persons under twenty 

entries to the Entity List (Supplement 

No. 4 to Part 744) on the basis of section 

744.11 of the EAR. The persons being 

added to the Entity List 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 under the following six 

destinations on the Entity List: Cyprus, 

Greece, Iran, Syria, Ukraine, and the 

United Kingdom (U.K.). 

In addition, this rule amends the EAR 

to implement modifications to the 

Entity List on the basis of the annual 

review of the Entity List conducted by 

the End-User Review Committee (ERC), 

which the ERC conducts to determine if 

any entities on the Entity List should be 

removed or modified. This rule 

implements the results of the annual 

review for entities located in Syria. 

Lastly, this rule makes a clarification 

to an existing entry located in China to 

clarify the relationship of a listed alias 

to the existing entry and to provide 

additional information on the alias. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is 

effective August 15, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Entity List notifies the public that 

certain exports, reexports, and transfers 

(in-country) to entities identified on the 

Entity List require a license from BIS 

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 End-User Review Committee 

(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 changes 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 

This rule implements decisions of the 

ERC to add persons to the Entity List 

and modify existing entries based on the 

annual review of the Entity List. First, 

this rule implements the decision of the 

ERC to add fifteen persons under twenty 

entries 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. Second, this rule implements the 

results of the annual review for entities 

located in Syria by making 

modifications to seven existing entries 

under Syria on the Entity List. 

Additions to the Entity List 

This rule implements the decision of 

the ERC to add fifteen persons under 

twenty entries (including five additional 

entries) to the Entity List on the basis of 

section 744.11 of the EAR. The twenty 

entries added to the Entity List consist 

of one person in Cyprus, three persons 

in Greece, four persons in Iran, two 

persons in Syria, five persons in 

Ukraine, and five persons in the U.K. 

The additional five entries cover five 

additional addresses of persons added 

to the Entity List—these persons are 

being listed under multiple countries to 

account for alternate addresses of these 

persons in those countries. Specifically, 

these five additional entries cover one 

person in Ukraine who also has 

addresses in Iran and Syria (resulting in 

two additional entries for the Iran and 

Syria addresses), one person in Ukraine 

who also has addresses in Greece and in 

the U.K. (resulting in two additional 

entries for the Greece and U.K. 

addresses), and one person in the U.K. 

who also has an address in Cyprus 

(resulting in one additional entry for the 

Cyprus address). 

The ERC reviewed section 744.11(b) 

(Criteria for revising the Entity List) in 

making the determination to add these 

persons to the Entity List. Under that 

paragraph, persons for whom, based on 

specific and articulable facts, there is 

reasonable cause to believe 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) 

include an illustrative list of activities 

that could be contrary to the national 

security or foreign policy interests of the 

United States. 

The persons being added to the Entity 

List under this rule have been 

determined by the ERC to be involved 

in activities that could be contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. Examples 

of the specific activities these persons 

have been involved with that are 

contrary to the national security or 

foreign policy interests of the United 

States pursuant to section 744.11 

include the violation of the license 

requirements imposed for exports and 

reexports to Syria as specified in 

General Order No. 2 of Supplement No.
