reported for the assessment period on 

such regulatory or other reports as 

determined by the Board as applicable 

to the nonbank financial company. 

§ 246.5 Notice of assessment and appeal. 

(a) Notice of Assessment. The Board 

shall issue a notice of assessment to 

each assessed company no later than 

June 30 of each calendar year following 

the assessment period, provided, 

however, that for the 2012 assessment 

period, the Board shall issue a notice of 

assessment as soon as reasonably 

practical after publication of the final 

rule in the Federal Register. 

(b) Appeal Period. 

(1) Each assessed company will have 

thirty calendar days from June 30, or, for 

the 2012 assessment period, thirty 

calendar days from the Board’s issuance 

of a notice of assessment for that

statement to appeal the Board’s 

determination: 

(i) That the company is an assessed 

company; or 

(ii) Of the company’s total assessable 

assets. 

(2) The Board will respond with the 

results of its consideration to an 

assessed company that has submitted a 

written appeal within 15 calendar days 

from the end of the appeal period in 

paragraph (b)(1) of this section. 

§ 246.6 Collection of assessments; 

payment of interest. 

(a) Collection date. Each assessed 

company shall remit to the Federal 

Reserve the amount of its assessment 

using the Fedwire Funds Service by 

September 15 of the calendar year 

following the assessment period, or, for 

the 2012 assessment period, by a date 

specified in the notice of assessment for 

that assessment period. 

(b) Payment of interest. 

(1) If the Board does not receive the 

total amount of an assessed company’s 

assessment by the collection date for 

any reason not attributable to the Board, 

the assessment will be delinquent and 

the assessed company shall pay to the 

Board interest on any sum owed to the 

Board according to this rule (delinquent 

payments). 

(2) Interest on delinquent payments 

will be assessed beginning on the first 

calendar day after the collection date, 

and on each calendar day thereafter up 

to and including the day payment is 

received. Interest will be simple 

interest, calculated for each day 

payment is delinquent by multiplying 

the daily equivalent of the applicable 

interest rate by the amount delinquent. 

The rate of interest will be the United 

States Treasury Department’s current 

value of funds rate (the ‘‘CVFR 

percentage’’); issued under the Treasury 

Fiscal Requirements Manual and 

published quarterly in the Federal 

Register. Each delinquent payment will 

be charged interest based on the CVFR 

percentage applicable to the quarter in 

which all or part of the assessment goes 

unpaid.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Airbus Model A330–300, A340–200, 

and A340–300 series airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by a determination that 

ballscrew rupture could occur on 

certain trimmable horizontal stabilizer 

actuators (THSAs). This AD requires 

repetitive THSA ballscrew shaft 

integrity tests, and replacement if 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct ballscrew rupture, 

which, along with corrosion on the 

ballscrew lower splines, may lead to

loss of transmission of THSA torque 

loads from the ballscrew to the tie-bar 

and consequent THSA blowback, which 

could result in loss of control of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective

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. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on May 2, 2013 (78 FR 25664). 

The NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Community, has issued EASA 

AD 2012–0210, dated October 11, 2012 

(referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

Since the issuance of EASA AD 2012–0061 

which addresses the corrosion identified in 

service on THSA [part number] P/N 47147– 

500 and P/N 47147–700 at the level of the 

ballscrew lower splines, further analyses 

have been conducted to determine the need 

for any additional action. 

The ballscrew lower splines are not loaded 

in normal operation, only in case of 

ballscrew rupture. Analysis results have 

shown that such rupture could happen 

during the current inspection interval 

imposed by the Maintenance Review Board 

Report (MRBR), task 274000–12. 

Corrosion on the lower splines, in case of 

ballscrew rupture, may lead to loss of 

transmission of THSA torque loads from the 

ballscrew to the tie-bar and consequent 

THSA blowback, which could result in loss 

of control of the aeroplane. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires reduction of the check 

interval of MRBR task 274000–12. 

Required actions include repetitive 

THSA ballscrew shaft integrity tests. 

Corrective actions include replacement 

of the THSA. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (78 

FR 25664, May 2, 2013) 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 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 (78 FR 

25664, May 2, 2013) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 25664, 

May 2, 2013). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 30 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it takes 7 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 $17,850, 

or $595 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions take about 8 

work-hours and require parts costing up 

to $722,556, for a cost of up to $723,236 

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 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. 

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 Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket
