ACTION: Publication of determination. 

SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as 

amended, prescribes that the U.S. 

Department of Justice (DOJ) make a 

determination on the impact, if any, on 

the lessening of competition likely to 

result from a U.S. Department of Energy 

(DOE) proposed rule for energy 

conservation standards and that DOE 

publish the determination in the 

Federal Register. DOE published its 

final rule for energy conservation 

standards for commercial refrigeration 

equipment on March 28, 2014, and is 

publishing DOJ’s November 25, 2013 

determination on such proposed rule. 

DATES: Date of DOJ determination— 

November 25, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

28, 2014 (79 FR 17725), DOE published 

a final rule amending energy 

conservation standards for commercial 

refrigeration equipment. Those 

amended standards were determined by 

DOE to be technologically feasible and 

economically justified and would result 

in the significant conservation of 

energy. The Energy Conservation and 

Policy Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C.6291, et 

seq; ‘‘EPCA’’), Public Law 94–163, 

requires that the Attorney General make 

a determination and analysis of the 

impact, if any, of any lessening of 

competition likely to result from a 

proposed standard, within 60 days of 

publication. (42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(ii)) 

EPCA also requires that DOE publish 

the determination and analysis in the 

Federal Register. Id. 

DOE received the determination in 

response to the September 11, 2013 

NOPR (78 FR 55781) from the Attorney 

General and the U.S. Department of 

Justice (DOJ) on November 25, 2013. 

DOE is publishing the text of DOJ’s 

November 25, 2013 determination.

Dear Deputy General Counsel Fygi: 

I am responding to your September 

24, 2013 letter seeking the views of the 

Attorney General about the potential 

impact on competition of proposed 

energy conservation standards for walkin coolers and refrigerators. Your 

request was submitted under Section 

325(o)(2)(B)(i)(V) of the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act, as amended 

(ECPA), 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(V), 

which requires the Attorney General to 

make a determination of the impact of 

any lessening of competition that is 

likely to result from the imposition of 

proposed energy conservation 

standards. The Attorney General’s 

responsibility for responding to requests 

from other departments about the effect 

of a program on competition has been 

delegated to the Assistant Attorney 

General for the Antitrust Division in 28 

CFR 0.40(g). 

In conducting its analysis the 

Antitrust Division examines whether a 

proposed standard may lessen 

competition, for example, by 

substantially limiting consumer choice, 

by placing certain manufacturers at an 

unjustified competitive disadvantage, or 

by inducing avoidable inefficiencies in 

production or distribution of particular 

products. A lessening of competition 

could result in higher prices to 

manufacturers and consumers, and 

perhaps thwart the intent of the revised 

standards by inducing substitution to 

less efficient products. 

We have reviewed the proposed 

standards contained in the Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (78 FR 176, 

September 11, 2013) (NOPR). We have 

also reviewed supplementary 

information submitted to the Attorney 

General by the Department of Energy, 

including a transcript of the public 

meeting held on the proposed standards 

on October 3, 2013. Based on this 

review, our conclusion is that the 

proposed energy conservation standards 

for commercial refrigeration equipment 

are unlikely to have a significant 

adverse impact on competition. 

Sincerely, 

William J. Baer

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for Viking 

Air Limited Model DHC–3 airplanes. 

This proposed AD results from 

mandatory continuing airworthiness 

information (MCAI) originated 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 

reports of corrugation cracking found at 

various wing stations and on the main 

spar lower cap. We are issuing this 

proposed AD to require actions to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by September 11, 

2015.

Discussion 

Transport Canada, which is the 

aviation authority for Canada, has 

issued AD No. CF–2015–05, dated 

March 18, 2015 (referred to after this as 

‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for Viking Air Limited Model 

DHC–3 airplanes. The MCAI states: 

An operator found cracks on the upper 

inner wing skin corrugations emanating from 

the rib attachment points. As a result, Viking 

Air Limited released Service Bulletin (SB) 

V3/0002, Revision NC to inspect for possible 

corrugation cracking between wing stations 

34 and 110. Subsequently, operators 

discovered additional corrugation cracking at 

multiple wing stations and on the main spar 

lower cap. 

These cracks, if not detected and rectified, 

may compromise the structural integrity of 

the wing. In order to address this potentially 

unsafe condition, Viking Air Limited has 

issued SB V3/0002, Revision C, specifying 

repetitive internal borescope and visual 

inspections. This AD is issued to mandate 

compliance with that SB. 

You may examine the MCAI on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2015–3073. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Viking DHC–3 Otter 

Service Bulletin No. V3/0002, Revision 

‘‘C’’, dated April 30, 2014; and Viking 

DHC–3 Otter Service Bulletin 3–STC 

(03–50)-001, Revision ‘‘NC’’, dated April 

30, 2014. The service information 

describes procedures for installing 

additional wing inspection access 

panels and inspecting the wings using 

borescope and visual methods. This 

service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section of 

this NPRM. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the Proposed 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 proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all 

information and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

will affect 38 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 36 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $5,000 per 

product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $306,280, or $8,060 per 

product. 

The scope of damage found in the 

required inspection could vary 

significantly from airplane to airplane. 

We have no way of determining how 

much damage may be found on each 

airplane or the cost to repair damaged 

parts on each airplane. 

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, 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
44894 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 144 / Tuesday, July 28, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

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 proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would 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 proposed regulation: 

(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. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 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: 

Viking Air Limited: Docket No. FAA–2015– 

3073; Directorate Identifier 2015–CE– 

017–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by September 

11, 2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Viking Air Limited 

DHC–3 airplanes, all serial numbers, 

certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 57: Wings. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated 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 reports of 

corrugation cracking found at various wing 

stations and on the main spar lower cap. We 

are issuing this proposed AD to detect 

cracking and correct as necessary to address 

the unsafe condition on these products. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(5) of 

this AD: 

(1) Within 30 days after the effective date 

of this AD, determine the accumulated air 

time for each wing by contacting Technical 

Support at Viking Air Limited. You can find 

contact information for Viking Air Limited in 

paragraph (h) of this AD. 

(2) Within 30 days after the effective date 

of this AD, determine all installed 

supplemental type certificates (STC) or 

modifications affecting the wings. Based on 

the accumulated air time determined from 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD and before the 

initial inspection required in paragraph (f)(3) 

of this AD, install access panels as follows: 

(i) If the airplane is free of STCs or any 

other modifications affecting the wings, 

install additional inspection access panels 

following the Accomplishment Instructions 

Part A of Viking DHC–3 Otter Service 

Bulletin No. V3/0002, Revision ‘‘C’’, dated 

April 30, 2014. 

(ii) If the airplane is fitted with STC 

SA2009NY (which can be found on the 

internet at: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_

and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/

F7309B7D9B008C588625734F00730144

?OpenDocument&Highlight=sa02009ny), 

incorporate additional inspection access 

panels following the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Viking Air Limited SB 3–STC 

(03–50)–001, Revision ‘‘NC’’, dated April 30, 

2014. 

Note 1 to paragraph (f)(2)(ii) of this AD: 

STC SA03–50 would be the Canadian 

equivalent of the United States STC 

2A2009NY. 

(iii) If there are other STCs or 

modifications affecting the wings the 

operator must contact the FAA to request an 

FAA-approved alternative method of 

compliance using the procedures in 

paragraph (g)(1) of this AD and 14 CFR 39.19. 

To develop these procedures, we recommend 

you contact the STC holder for guidance in 

developing substantiating data. 

(3) Based on the accumulated air time on 

the wings determined in paragraph (f)(1) of 

this AD, perform initial and repetitive 

borescope and visual inspections of both the 

left-hand and right-hand wing box following 

Part B of the Accomplishment Instructions of 

Viking DHC–3 Otter Service Bulletin V3/ 

0002, Revision ‘‘C’’, dated April 30, 2014, 

using the inspection schedules specified in 

Table 1 of paragraph (f)(3) of this AD: 

TABLE 1 OF PARAGRAPH (f)(3) OF THIS AD—INSPECTION SCHEDULE

Effectivity Initial inspection Repetitive inspection 

If Viking Air Limited SB V3/0002, Revision ‘‘A’’, 

dated February 22, 2013; or Viking Air Limited SB V3/0002, Revision ‘‘B’’, dated July 3, 

2013; were complied with prior to the effective date of this AD.

The initial inspection is not required since the 

inspection was accomplished while complying with Revision ‘‘A’’ or ‘‘B’’ of Viking Air 

Limited SB V3/0002.

Repetitively inspect not to exceed every 1,600 

wing air time hours accumulated after the 

last inspection or 2,100 flight cycles after 

the last inspection, whichever occurs first. 

If, as of the effective date of this AD, the airplane has less than 31,200 wing air time 

hours.

Inspect within 800 wing air time hours after 

the effective date of this AD, or within 6 

months after the effective date of this AD, 

whichever occurs first.

If, as of the effective date of this AD, the airplane has 31,200 hours wing air time or 

more but less than 31,600 hours wing air 

time hours.

Inspect upon or before accumulating 32,000 

wing air time hours or within 6 months after 

the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first.

(ii) 200 hours TIS x 2 = 400 cycles. 

(5) If any cracks are found, contact 

Technical Support at Viking Air Limited for 

an FAA-approved repair and incorporate the 

repair before further flight. You can find 

contact information for Viking Air Limited in 

paragraph (i) of this AD. The FAA-approved 

repair must specifically reference this AD. 

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office,
