Small Business Size Standards; 

Adoption of 2012 North American 

Industry Classification System for Size 

Standards; Correction 

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business 

Administration. 

ACTION: Interim final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA) is correcting an 

interim final rule that appeared in the 

Federal Register on August 20, 2012 (75 

FR 49991). The document amended 

SBA’s Small Business Size Regulations 

by incorporating the Office of 

Management and Budget’s 2012 

modifications of the North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

into its table of small business size 

standards. In addition, the document 

revised the definitions of some NAICS 

2007 industries, deleted others, and 

aggregated a number of closely related 

industries and activities into other new 

or revised industries. SBA will adopt 

the changes effective with the beginning 

of the Federal Government’s first new 

fiscal year (October 1, 2012) following 

the revisions. 

DATES: Effective October 1, 2012.

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter 

France Helicopters 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for 

Eurocopter France Model SA341G 

helicopters. This AD requires replacing 

any rotating star with more than 12,000 

hours TIS. This AD was prompted by an 

analysis and tests performed by the 

manufacturer that indicate that the life 

limit of the rotating star should be 

12,000 hours time-in-service (TIS). The 

actions of this AD are intended to 

prevent failure of the rotating star and 

subsequent loss of control of the 

helicopter. 

DATES: This AD is effective October 19, 

2012. 

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 contains this AD, any 

incorporated-by-reference service 

information, the economic evaluation, 

any comments received, and other

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion 

On March 29, 2012, at 77 FR 18965, 

the Federal Register published our 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), 

which proposed to amend 14 CFR part 

39 to include an AD that would apply 

to Eurocopter France Model SA341G 

helicopters, with rotating star, part 

number (P/N) 341A31.4116.21 installed. 

That NPRM proposed to require 

replacing any rotating star with 12,000 

or more hours TIS with an airworthy 

rotating star with less than 12,000 hours 

TIS. The NPRM also proposed to revise 

the Airworthiness Limitations section of 

the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness by reducing the service 

life of the main rotor rotating star from 

unlimited hours to 12,000 hours TIS. 

The proposed requirements were 

intended to prevent failure of the 

rotating star and subsequent loss of 

control of the helicopter. 

The Direction Generale de l’Aviation 

Civile (DGAC), which is the aviation 

authority for France, has issued DGAC 

AD No. F–2004–070, dated May 26, 

2004, to correct an unsafe condition for 

Eurocopter France Model SA 341/342 

helicopters. The DGAC advises that they 

issued the AD to require a new service 

life limit of 12,000 flight hours for the 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
56756 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 179 / Friday, September 14, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

rotating star, part number (P/N) 

341A31.4116.21, installed on Model 

SA341G helicopters. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD, but 

we did not receive any comments on the 

NPRM. 

FAA’s Determination 

These helicopters have been approved 

by the aviation authority of France and 

are approved for operation in the United 

States. Pursuant to our bilateral 

agreement with France, DGAC, its 

technical representative, has notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

DGAC AD. We are issuing this AD 

because we evaluated all information 

provided by DGAC and determined the 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other helicopters of 

the same type designs and that air safety 

and the public interest require adopting 

the AD requirements as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

21 helicopters of U.S. registry and the 

actions will take approximately 6 work 

hours per helicopter to accomplish at an 

average labor rate of $85 per work hour. 

Required parts will cost approximately 

$6,000. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the total cost impact of this AD 

on U.S. operators to be $6,510 to replace 

the rotating star on each helicopter, or 

$136,710 for the entire U.S. fleet. 

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 

helicopters 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. 

We prepared an economic evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

(P/N) 341A31.4116.21 installed, certificated 

in any category. 

(b) Unsafe Condition 

This AD defines the unsafe condition as a

This AD becomes effective October 19, 

2012. 

(d) Compliance 

You are responsible for performing each 

action required by this AD within the 

specified compliance time unless 

accomplished previously. 

(e) Required Actions 

(1) Before further flight, remove any 

rotating star, P/N 341A31.4116.21, with 

12,000 or more hours time-in-service (TIS), 

and replace it with an airworthy rotating star 

with less than 12,000 hours TIS. 

(2) Revise the Airworthiness Limitations 

section of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness by reducing the service life of 

the main rotor rotating star from unlimited 

hours TIS to 12,000 hours TIS.

the local flight standards district office or 

certificate holding district office, before 

operating any aircraft complying with this 

AD through an AMOC.
