Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 33 / Thursday, February 19, 2015 / Proposed Rules 8821 

impacts all growers and handlers by 

allowing them to better anticipate the 

revenues their tart cherries would 

generate. Growers and handlers, 

regardless of size, would benefit from 

the stabilizing effects of this restriction. 

In addition, the increased carry-out 

should provide processors enough 

supply to meet market needs going into 

the next season. 

The Board considered some 

alternatives in its preliminary restriction 

discussions that affected this 

recommended action. The first 

alternative concerned the average sales 

in estimating demand for the coming 

season, and the second alternative 

regarded the recommended carry-out 

figure. 

Regarding demand, the Board began 

with the actual sales average of 198 

million pounds. There was concern, 

however that this value, which 

incorporated the weather-related crop 

failure of 2012, would result in an overrestrictive calculation. After considering 

options in the range of 24 to 52 million 

pounds, the Board determined that an 

adjustment of 52 million pounds, to 

reach an average demand of 250 million 

pounds, was most appropriate for the 

industry. Thus the other alternatives 

were rejected and the Board 

recommended the 52 million pound 

economic adjustment. 

Regarding the carry-out value, the 

Board considered keeping this value at 

the order’s 20 million pound maximum. 

However, many noted that the industry 

now regularly carries over more volume 

than in the past to keep its expanded 

product lines supplied at the end of the 

season. One member noted that even at 

the end of the disaster season, there 

were 17 million pounds carried out. 

Another noted that the 81 million 

pound carry-in this season was seen as 

burdensome. Others were concerned 

that in addition to the previous 

adjustment, too high of a carry-out 

figure might discourage using reserves 

to protect the industry from another 

disaster. The Board considered 60 

million pounds and 30 million pounds, 

but these were considered respectively 

too large and too restrictive and thus 

were rejected. The Board then reached 

a consensus and recommended the 

Secretary increase the maximum carryout to 50 million pounds for the 2014– 

2015 season alone. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35), the order’s information 

collection requirements have been 

previously approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

assigned OMB No. 0581–0177, Tart 

Cherries Grown in the States of MI, NY, 

PA, OR, UT, WA, and WI. No changes 

in those requirements as a result of this 

action are necessary. Should any 

changes become necessary, they would 

be submitted to OMB for approval. 

This action would not impose any 

additional reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements on either small or large 

tart cherry handlers. As with all Federal 

marketing order programs, reports and 

forms are periodically reviewed to 

reduce information requirements and 

duplication by industry and public 

sector agencies. 

AMS is committed to complying with 

the E-Government Act, to promote the 

use of the internet and other 

information technologies to provide 

increased opportunities for citizen 

access to Government information and 

services, and for other purposes. 

USDA has not identified any relevant 

Federal rules that duplicate, overlap or 

conflict with this proposed rule. 

In addition, the Board’s meeting was 

widely publicized throughout the tart 

cherry industry and all interested 

persons were invited to attend the 

meeting and participate in Board 

deliberations on all issues. Like all 

Board meetings, the June 26, 2014, and 

September 11, 2014, meetings were 

public meetings and all entities, both 

large and small, were able to express 

views on this issue. Finally, interested 

persons are invited to submit comments 

on this proposed rule, including the 

regulatory and informational impacts of 

this action on small businesses. 

A small business guide on complying 

with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop 

marketing agreements and orders may 

be viewed at: http://www.ams.usda.gov/ 

MarketingOrdersSmallBusinessGuide. 

Any questions about the compliance 

guide should be sent to Jeffrey Smutny 

at the previously mentioned address in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section. 

A 30-day comment period is provided 

to allow interested persons to respond 

to this proposal. Thirty days is deemed 

appropriate because this proposed rule 

would need to be in place as soon as 

possible since handlers are already 

shipping tart cherries from the 2014–15 

crop. All written comments timely 

received will be considered before a 

final determination is made on this 

matter.

Discussion 

On February 8, 2007, we issued AD 

2007–04–13, Amendment 39–14945 (72 

FR 7576, February 16, 2007). That AD 

requires actions intended to address an 

unsafe condition on SOCATA Model 

TBM 700 airplanes (type certificate 

previously held by EADS SOCATA) and 

was based on mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country. 

Since we issued AD 2007–04–13, 

Amendment 39–14945 (72 FR 7576, 

February 16, 2007), it has been 

determined that the time between 

repetitive inspections should be 

extended and an optional terminating 

action for the repetitive inspections is 

now available. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued AD No. 2006– 

0085R2, dated January 16, 2015 

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

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

Cracks on several main landing gear (MLG) 

cylinders have been reported in service. 

This condition, if not to detected and 

corrected, could lead to fatigue cracks in the 

shock strut cylinder of the MLG, which could 

result in a collapsed MLG during take-off or 

landing runs, and possibly reduce the 

structural integrity of the aeroplane. 

To address this unsafe condition, EASA 

issued AD 2006–0085 to require repetitive 

special detailed inspections (SDI) for cracks 

of the MLG shock strut cylinder and, 

depending on findings, relevant investigative 

and corrective actions. 

After that AD was issued, SOCATA 

performed an analysis to demonstrate that 

the inspection interval could be extended, 

and developed a reinforced MLG less prone 

to fatigue, which is embodied in production 

through SOCATA modification (MOD) 70– 

0190–32 and can be introduced in service 

through SOCATA Service Bulletin (SB) 70– 

130–32 at Revision 03. 

Prompted by these developments, EASA 

issued AD 2006–0085R1 to increase the 

inspection interval and to introduce the 

installation of a reinforced MLG on the right 

hand (RH) side and left hand (LH) side as an 

optional terminating action for the repetitive 

SDI required by this AD. 

Since that AD was issued, it was found that 

aeroplanes MSN 639 to 683 (inclusive) are 

not affected by this AD. The applicability has 

therefore been revised to remove those MSN. 

You may examine the MCAI on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2006–26235. 

Relevant Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

SOCATA has issued DAHER– 

SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory 

Service Bulletin SB 70–130, Revision 3, 

dated December 2014. The actions 

described in this service information are 

intended to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. The DAHER– 

SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory 

Service Bulletin SB 70–130, Revision 3, 

dated December 2014, describes 

procedures for repetitively inspecting 

the main landing gear (MLG) for cracks 

and replacing cracked MLG with a 

reinforced MLG as a terminating action 

for the repetitive inspections. This 

service information is reasonably 

available; see ADDRESSES for ways to 

access this service information. 

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 431 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 3 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 33 / Thursday, February 19, 2015 / Proposed Rules 8823 

operators to be $109,905, or $255 per 

product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 4 work-hours and require parts 

costing $6,000, for a cost of $6,340 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 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,

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 

removing Amendment 39–14945 (72 FR 

75776, February 16, 2007), and adding 

the following new AD: 

SOCATA (type certificate previously held by 

EADS SOCATA): Docket No. FAA–2006– 

26235; Directorate Identifier 2006–CE– 

065–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by April 6, 

2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD revises AD 2007–04–13, 

Amendment 39–14945, (72 FR 75776, 

February 16, 2007) (‘‘AD 2007–04–13’’). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to SOCATA Model TBM 

700 airplanes, serial numbers 1 through 638 

and 687, that: 

(1) Are not equipped with a left-hand main 

landing gear (MLG) body part number (P/N) 

D68161 or D68161–1 and a right-hand MLG 

body P/N D68162 or D68162–1; and 

(2) are certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 32: Landing gear. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports of cracks 

found on several main landing gear (MLG) 

cylinders. We are issuing this proposed AD 

to detect and correct cracks in the shock strut 

cylinder of the MLG, which could cause the 

MLG to fail. This failure could result in a 

collapsed MLG during takeoff or landing and 

possible reduced structural integrity of the 

airplane. We are revising AD 2007–04–13 to 

increase the time between the repetitive 

inspections and to incorporate an optional 

modification to terminate the required 

repetitive inspections. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(4) of 

this AD: 

(1) As of March 23, 2007 (the effective date 

retained from AD 2007–04–13), for MLG with 

forging body totaling more than 1,750 

landings but less than 3,501 landings since 

new: 

(i) Inspect the forging body for cracks 

within 100 landings after March 23, 2007 (the 

effective date retained from AD 2007–04–13), 

following the Accomplishment Instructions 

of EADS SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory 

Service Bulletin SB 70–130, dated January 

2006, or DAHER–SOCATA TBM Aircraft 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70–130, 

Revision 3, dated December 2014. 

(ii) If no cracks are detected during the 

inspection required in paragraph (f)(1)(i) of 

this AD, repetitively thereafter inspect at 

intervals not to exceed 240 landings until a 

reinforced landing gear specified in 

paragraph E. Terminating Solution of the 

Accomplishment Instructions in DAHER– 

SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB 70–130, Revision 3, dated 

December 2014, is installed. 

(2) As of March 23, 2007 (the effective date 

retained from AD 2007–04–13), for MLG with 

forging body totaling more than 3,500 

landings since new: 

(i) Inspect the forging body for cracks 

within 25 landings after March 23, 2007 (the 

effective date retained from AD 2007–04–13), 

following the Accomplishment Instructions 

of EADS SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory 

Service Bulletin SB 70–130, dated January 

2006, or DAHER–SOCATA TBM Aircraft 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70–130, 

Revision 3, dated December 2014.
