Airworthiness Directives; Austro

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2013–14– 

08 for all Austro Engine GmbH model 

E4 engines. AD 2013–14–08 required 

removing from service certain part 

number (P/N) waste gate controllers. 

This AD requires removing certain 

additional P/N waste gate controllers 

from service. This AD was prompted by 

several reports of power loss events due 

to fracture of the waste gate controller 

lever. We are issuing this AD to prevent 

failure of the waste gate controller lever, 

which could lead to damage to one or 

more engines, loss of thrust control, and 

damage to the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 3, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2013–14–08, 

Amendment 39–17513 (78 FR 42677, 

July 17, 2013), (‘‘AD 2013–14–08’’). AD 

2013–14–08 applied to the specified 

products. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on January 10, 2014 

(79 FR 1774). The NPRM proposed to 

continue to require removal from 

service of certain P/N waste gate 

controllers. The NPRM also proposed 

that, based on additional in-service 

failures, additional P/N waste gate 

controllers no longer be eligible for 

installation. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 1774, January 10, 2014). 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 128 

engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it will 

take about 0.5 hours per engine to 

comply with this AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per hour. Required parts cost 

about $231 per engine. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the total cost of this 

AD to U.S. operators to be $35,008. 

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 

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 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, 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

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends part 39 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by

Revision 060 or lower revision, and waste 

gate controller, P/N E4B–41–120–000,

install any waste gate controller, P/N E4A– 

41–120–000, Revision 060 or lower revision, 

or waste gate controller, P/N E4B–41–120– 

000, Revision 010 or lower revision, onto any 

engine, or approve for return to service any 

engine that has either waste gate controller 

installed.

may approve AMOCs for this AD. Use the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to make 

your request.

33 CFR Part 117 

[Docket No. USCG–2014–0267] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Inner Harbor Navigational Canal, New 

Orleans, LA 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from regulations. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the regulation 

governing the operation of the SR 46 (St. 

Claude Avenue) bridge across the Inner 

Harbor Navigation Canal, mile 0.5 

(GIWW mile 6.2 East of Harvey Lock) in 

New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. 

This deviation provides for the bridge to 

remain closed to navigation for 24 

consecutive hours within an eight day 

window of opportunity to conduct 

scheduled maintenance to the 

drawbridge. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

6 a.m. on May 10, 2014, through 6 a.m. 

on May 18, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: The docket for this 

deviation, [USCG–2014–0267] is 

available at http://www.regulations.gov.

Facility in Room W12–140 on the 

ground floor of the Department of 

Transportation West Building, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, 

DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this temporary 

deviation, call or email Jim 

Wetherington, Bridge Administration 

Branch, Coast Guard, telephone (504) 

671–2128, email james.r.wetherington@

uscg.mil. If you have questions on 

viewing the docket, call Cheryl F. 

Collins, Program Manager, Docket 

Operations, telephone 202–366–9826. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board 

of Commissioners of the Port of New 

Orleans has requested a temporary 

deviation in order to perform 

maintenance on the operating strut 

guides of the bridge. These repairs are 

necessary for the continued operation of 

the bridge. This deviation allows the 

draw of the St. Claude Avenue bascule 

bridge across the Inner Harbor 

Navigation Canal, mile 0.5 (GIWW mile 

6.2 East of Harvey Lock), to remain 

closed to navigation for 24 consecutive 

hours between 6 a.m. on Saturday, May 

10, 2014 and 6 a.m. Sunday, May 11, 

2014. Work on the bridge will begin at 

6 a.m. on Saturday, May 10, 2014. If for 

any reason, the work cannot be 

accomplished on May 10 and 11, 2014, 

the work will be postponed for one 

week and the same schedule will be 

used beginning at 6 a.m. on Saturday, 

May 17, 2014 and continuing through 6 

a.m. Sunday, May 18, 2014. 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners will be 

used to update mariners of any changes 

in this deviation. 

The bascule bridge has a vertical 

clearance of 1 foot above high water in 

the closed-to-navigation position. 

Navigation on the waterway consists 

mainly of tugs with tows and some 

ships. The bridge normally opens to 

pass navigation an average of eight 

times during the deviation period. In 

accordance with 33 CFR 117.458(a), the 

draw of the bridge shall open on signal; 

except that, from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. 

and from 3:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except federal 

holidays, the draw need not open for the 

passage of vessels. Normally, the draw 

is required to open at any time for a 

vessel in distress. However, the bridge 

will not be able to open for emergencies 

during the closure period. No alternate 

routes are available. 

The Port and the Coast Guard have 

coordinated the closure with waterway 

users, industry, and other Coast Guard 

units. These dates and this schedule 

were chosen to minimize the significant 

effects on vessel traffic.
