another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as PAL Model 750XL 

airplanes manufactured with only one 

attitude indicator. A second attitude 

indicator is required for flights under 

instrument flight rules. We are issuing 

this proposed AD to require actions to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products.

Discussion 

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), 

which is the airworthiness authority for 

New Zealand, has issued AD DCA/

750XL/17A, dated November 6, 2014 

(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to 

correct an unsafe condition for Pacific 

Aerospace Limited Model 750XL 

airplanes and was based on mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country. The MCAI states: 

This AD with effective date 10 November 

2014 is prompted by a recent determination 

that certain PAL750XL aircraft were 

inadvertently manufactured with instrument 

panels with only one Attitude Indicator (AI). 

A second AI is required for PAL750XL 

operating under Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR). 

The AD mandates the installation of either 

a second AI, or the enablement of 

Reversionary Attitude mode in the Sandel 

Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator 

(EHSI), if fitted, when operating under IFR. 

You may examine the MCAI on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2014–1002. 

Relevant Service Information 

Pacific Aerospace Limited has issued 

Pacific Aerospace Limited Mandatory 

Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/074, Issue 

2, dated November 4, 2014. The actions 

described in this service information are 

intended to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. 

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 17 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 proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $3,500 per 

product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $68,170, or $4,010 per 

product. 

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 proposed 

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

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: 

Pacific Aerospace Limited: Docket No. FAA– 

2014–1002; Directorate Identifier 2014– 

CE–033–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by January 22, 

2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Pacific Aerospace 

Limited Model 750XL airplanes, all serial 

numbers, certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 34: Navigation. 

(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 Pacific 

Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes 

manufactured with instrument panels with 

only one attitude indicator. A second attitude 

indicator is required to operate under 

instrument flight rules (IFR). A reversionary 

attitude indicator reduces the probability of 

a single point failure, which could result in 

loss of control. We are issuing this proposed 

AD to install a reversionary attitude indicator 

before operating in IFR conditions. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, before the next flight 

requiring instrument flight rules (IFR) after 

the effective date of this AD, install a second 

attitude indicator into the right hand 

instrument panel or enable the reversionary 

mode on a Sandel SN3500 electronic 

horizontal situation indicator (EHSI), if 

installed, whichever is applicable, following 

the ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS in 

Pacific Aerospace Limited Mandatory Service 

Bulletin PACSB/XL/074, Issue 2, dated 

November 4, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IFQ 

program for Gulf grouper and tilefish 

species (Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ 

Program) was implemented on January 

1, 2010 (74 FR 44732, August 31, 2009). 

The species included in the IFQ 

program are deep-water groupers 

(yellowedge grouper, misty grouper, 

warsaw grouper, snowy grouper, 

speckled hind, plus scamp under 

certain circumstances); red grouper, gag, 

and other shallow-water groupers (black 

grouper, scamp, yellowfin grouper, rock 

hind, red hind, yellowmouth grouper, 

plus warsaw grouper and speckled hind 

under certain circumstances); and 

tilefishes (goldface tilefish, blackline 

tilefish, anchor tilefish, blueline tilefish, 

and tilefish). The program includes a 

provision that, beginning January 1, 

2015, all U.S. citizens or permanent 

resident aliens are eligible to receive 

transfers of grouper and tilefish IFQ 

shares or allocation. A Gulf commercial 

reef fish permit will still be required to 

harvest, land, and sell grouper and 

tilefish. This document is to inform 

current and potential participants of the 

Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ program 

that possession of IFQ shares or 

allocation after this date may not ensure 

participation under future management 

of the program. The Council could 

consider options that include reestablishing a requirement to possess a 

Gulf commercial reef fish permit to 

receive shares or allocation under the 

program. If the Council prepares an 

amendment to the Fishery Management 

Plan (FMP) for Reef Fish Resources in 

the Gulf to restrict participation in the 

Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program 

in relation to this control date, an 

analysis of the specific biological, 

economic, and social effects of the 

action will be prepared at that time. 

Publication of the control date in the 

Federal Register informs participants of 

the Council’s considerations, and gives 

notice to anyone entering the fishery 

after the control date that they would 

not be assured of future access to the 

Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program 

should management changes be 

implemented that would restrict 

participation. Implementation of any 

such changes would require preparation 

of an amendment to the FMP and 

publication of a notice of availability 

and proposed rule in the Federal 

Register with pertinent public comment 

periods. 

Since the first control date document 

of November 1, 1989, 54 FR 46755 

(November 7, 1989), the Council has 

established a total of six control dates 

for various aspects of the reef fish 

fishery. As stated in the documents, 

they were intended to provide 

additional notice to the public that the 

Council was considering certain future 

management actions potentially
