25592 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 86 / Tuesday, May 5, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On September 5, 2014, we issued AD 

2013–22–14 R1, Amendment 39–17968 

(79 FR 54895; September 15, 2014). That 

AD required actions intended to address 

an unsafe condition on DG Flugzeugbau 

GmbH Model DG–1000T gliders 

equipped with a Solo Kleinmotoren 

Model 2350 C engine and was based on 

mandatory continuing airworthiness 

information (MCAI) originated by an 

aviation authority of another country. 

Since we issued AD 2013–22–14 R1, 

another occurrence of engine shaft 

failure and propeller detachment was 

reported on a Solo Kleinmotoren Model 

2350 C engine that had been modified 

following Solo Kleinmotoren Service 

Bulletin 4603–14, dated April 28, 2014. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA AD No.: 

2015–0052–E, dated March 27, 2015 

(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to 

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

An occurrence of engine shaft failure and 

consequent propeller detachment was 

reported on a Solo 2350 C engine. 

This condition, if not corrected, could lead 

to additional cases of release of the propeller 

from the engine, possible resulting in damage 

to the sailplane, or injury to persons on the 

ground. 

To address this unsafe condition, EASA 

issued Emergency AD 2013–0217–E to 

prohibit operation of the engine. 

After that AD was issued, Solo 

Kleinmotoren GmbH developed instructions 

to install a modified excenter axle-pulley 

assembly, allowing to resume operation of 

the engine. This optional modification was 

introduced through EASA AD 2013–0217R1. 

Since that AD was issued, another 

occurrence of engine shaft failure and 

propeller detachment was reported on a Solo 

2350 C engine which had been modified in 

accordance with Solo Kleinmotoren Service 

Bulletin (SB) 4603–14. 

For reasons described above, this AD 

supersedes EASA AD 2013–0217R1 and, 

pending the availability of EASA approved 

modification instructions, prohibits 

operation of all Solo 2350 C engines, 

including those engines which have been 

modified in accordance with Solo 

Kleinmotoren SB 4603–14. This AD also 

requires a one-time inspection of the 

propeller shaft to detect cracks and the 

reporting of findings. 

This AD is considered to be temporary 

measure and further AD action will follow. 

You may examine the MCAI on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2015–116. 

Relative Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Solo Kleinmotoren 

GmbH Anleitung zur Inspektion 

(English translation: Inspection 

Instruction), Nr. 4603–1, Ausgabe 

(English translation: dated) March 26, 

2015. The service information describes 

procedures for inspecting the propeller 

shaft for cracking and reporting the 

results to the manufacturer. This 

information is reasonably available at 

http://www.regulations.gov by searching 

for and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

1130 or see ADDRESSES for other ways to 

access this service information. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the 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 issuing this 

AD because we evaluated all 

information provided by the State of 

Design Authority and determined the 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other products of the 

same type design. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because failure of the engine shaft 

with consequent propeller detachment 

could result in damage to the glider or 

injury to persons on the ground. 

Therefore, we determined that notice 

and opportunity for public comment 

before issuing this AD are impracticable 

and that good cause exists for making 

this amendment effective in fewer than 

30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not precede it by notice and 

opportunity for public comment. We 

invite you to send any written relevant 

data, views, or arguments about this AD. 

Send your comments to an address 

listed under the ADDRESSES section. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2015–1130; 

Directorate Identifier 2015–CE–008– 

AD’’ at the beginning of your comments. 

We specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 2 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 2 

work-hours 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 $340, or $170 per product. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

A federal agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, nor shall a person be subject 

to penalty for failure to comply with a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act unless that collection of 

information displays a current valid 

OMB control number. The control 

number for the collection of information 

required by this AD is 2120–0056. The 

paperwork cost associated with this AD 

has been detailed in the Costs of 

Compliance section of this document 

and includes time for reviewing 

instructions, as well as completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

Therefore, all reporting associated with 

this AD is mandatory. Comments 

concerning the accuracy of this burden 

and suggestions for reducing the burden 

should be directed to the FAA at 800 

Independence Ave. SW., Washington, 

DC 20591. ATTN: Information 

Collection Clearance Officer, AES–200. 

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 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 86 / Tuesday, May 5, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 25593 

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 that 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or removes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures (ODPs) for operations at 

certain airports. These regulatory 

actions are needed because of the 

adoption of new or revised criteria, or 

because of changes occurring in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding new obstacles, or 

changing air traffic requirements. These 

changes are designed to provide safe 

and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace and to promote safe flight 

operations under instrument flight rules 

at the affected airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective May 5, 

2015. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

This rule amends Title 14 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR 

part 97), by establishing, amending, 

suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff 

Minimums and/or ODPS. The complete 

regulatory description of each SIAP and 

its associated Takeoff Minimums or 

ODP for an identified airport is listed on 

FAA form documents which are 

incorporated by reference in this 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part § 97.20. 

The applicable FAA forms are FAA 

Forms 8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–5, 8260– 

15A, and 8260–15B when required by 

an entry on 8260–15A. 

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, their complex 

nature, and the need for a special format 

make publication in the Federal 

Register expensive and impractical. 

Further, airmen do not use the 

regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to 

their graphic depiction on charts 

printed by publishers of aeronautical 

materials. Thus, the advantages of 

incorporation by reference are realized 

and publication of the complete 

description of each SIAP, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of 

SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs 

with their applicable effective dates. 

This amendment also identifies the 

airport and its location, the procedure, 

and the amendment number. 

Availability and Summary of Material 

Incorporated by Reference 

The material incorporated by 

reference is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section. 

The material incorporated by 

reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff 

Minimums and/or ODPS as identified in 

the amendatory language for part 97 of 

this final rule. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP as Amended in the transmittal. 

Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and 

textual ODP amendments may have 

been issued previously by the FAA in a 

Flight Data Center (FDC) Notice to 

Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency 

action of immediate flight safety relating 

directly to published aeronautical 

charts. 

The circumstances that created the 

need for some SIAP and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP amendments may 

require making them effective in less 

than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs 

and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an 

effective date at least 30 days after 

publication is provided. 

Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and 

Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the 

TERPS criteria were applied to the 

conditions existing or anticipated at the 

affected airports. Because of the close 

and immediate relationship between 

these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find 

that notice and public procedure under 

5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and, 

where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), 

good cause exists for making some 

SIAPs effective in less than 30 days. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are
