ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl 

Model P2006T 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 cracked engine mount. 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to address the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 15, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of July 15, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to adding an AD that would 

apply to Costruzioni Aeronautiche 

Tecnam srl Model P2006T airplanes. 

The NPRM was published in the 

Federal Register on March 14, 2014 (79 

FR 14447). The NPRM proposed to 

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products and was based on 

mandatory continuing airworthiness 

information (MCAI) originated by an 

aviation authority of another country. 

The MCAI states: 

During a ‘‘100 hours’’ inspection of a 

P2006T aeroplane, one engine mount Part 

Number (P/N) 26–7–1200–000 was found 

cracked on a node. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could lead to engine damage, 

possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane 

and injury to the occupants. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

TECNAM issued Service Bulletin (SB) 138– 

CS-Rev0, providing inspection instructions. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires a one-time inspection of each engine 

mount P/N 26–7–1200–000 and, depending 

on findings, replacement of the engine 

mount(s). 

This AD is considered an interim action 

and further AD action may follow. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at: http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0156- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 14447, March 14, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the 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 (79 FR 

14447, March 14, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 14447, 

March 14, 2014). 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD interim action. 

We are requiring inspection of the left 

hand and right hand engine mounts 

with a report to the manufacturer of the 

results if cracks or deformation is found. 

We will work with the type certificate 

holder to evaluate the report results to 

determine repetitive inspection 

intervals and subsequent terminating 

action. Based on this evaluation, we 

may initiate further rulemaking action 

to address the unsafe condition 

identified in this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

10 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 6 

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 $5,100, or $510 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 18 work-hours and require parts 

costing $1,570 (per engine mount), for a 

cost of $3,100 per product. We have no 

way of determining the number of 

products that may need these actions. 

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

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 111 / Tuesday, June 10, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 33053 

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 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.

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are publishing a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Airbus Helicopters (previously 

Eurocopter France) Model AS350B, 

AS350BA, AS350B1, AS350B2, 

AS350B3, AS350C, AS350D, AS350D1, 

AS355E, AS355F, AS355F1, AS355F2, 

AS355N, and AS355NP helicopters, 

which was sent previously to all known 

U.S. owners and operators of these 

helicopters. This AD requires 

repetitively inspecting certain 

reinforcement angles of the rear 

structure to tailboom junction frame 

(reinforcement angles) for a crack, and 

repairing any cracked reinforcement 

angle. This AD is prompted by a report 

that cracks were found in the 

reinforcement angles on several AS355 

helicopters. These actions are intended 

to detect a crack in the reinforcement 

angle, which if not corrected, could 

result in loss of the tailboom and 

subsequent loss of control of the 

helicopter. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 

25, 2014 to all persons except those 

persons to whom it was made 

immediately effective by Emergency AD 

(EAD) 2014–07–52, issued on March 28, 

2014, which contained the requirements 

of this AD. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain documents listed in this AD 

as of June 25, 2014 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by August 11, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not provide you with notice and 

an opportunity to provide your 

comments prior to it becoming effective. 

However, we invite you to participate in 

this rulemaking by submitting written 

comments, data, or views. We also 

invite comments relating to the 

economic, environmental, energy, or 

federalism impacts that resulted from 

adopting this AD. The most helpful 

comments reference a specific portion of 

the AD, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should send only one copy 

of written comments, or if comments are 

filed electronically, commenters should 

submit them only one time. We will file 

in the docket all comments that we 

receive, as well as a report summarizing 

each substantive public contact with 

FAA personnel concerning this 

rulemaking during the comment period. 

We will consider all the comments we 

receive and may conduct additional 

rulemaking based on those comments. 

Discussion 

On March 28, 2014, we issued EAD 

2014–07–52, which requires, for certain 

helicopters, within 10 hours time-inservice (TIS) and within every 10 hours 

TIS thereafter, inspecting the right-hand 

reinforcement angles for a crack and 

repairing any cracked reinforcement 

angle. As an option to performing the 10 

hour TIS repetitive inspections, the EAD 

allows an alternate 165 hour TIS 

repetitive inspection. The EAD was sent 

previously to all known U.S. owners 

and operators of these helicopters.
