9 CFR Part 201 

Scales; Accurate Weights, Repairs, 

Adjustments or Replacements After 

Inspection 

AGENCY: Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration, USDA. 

ACTION: Direct final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The Grain Inspection, Packers 

and Stockyards Administration is 

correcting a direct final rule that 

appeared in the Federal Register on 

April 29, 2014 (FR Doc. 2014–9655). 

The direct final rule required all scales 

used to weigh livestock, livestock 

carcasses, live poultry, or feed meet 

requirements contained in section 5.59, 

Electronic Livestock, Meat, and Poultry 

Evaluation Systems and/or Devices of 

the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology, Specifications, Tolerances, 

and other Technical Requirements for 

Weighing and Measuring Devices (NIST 

Handbook 44) 2013 edition. The NIST 

Handbook 44 includes additional 

requirements for scales used to weigh 

live animals, livestock and poultry 

carcasses, which should not have been 

excluded by this rule. The direct final 

rule should have incorporated, by 

reference, all of the General Code, 

Scales Code, and Weight Code from the 

2013 edition of the NIST Handbook 44. 

Additionally, the direct final rule must 

reflect the change to the heading of 

§ 201.71, as a result of NIST Handbook 

44 requirements for electronic devices 

and systems and the correct email 

address for the National Conference for 

Weights and Measures. 

DATES: This correction is effective June 

30, 2014. The incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the rule 

is approved by the Director of the 

Federal Register as of June 30, 2014.

hanger bearings (bearing) installed. AD 

2013–11–05 required inspecting the 

bearing to determine whether an 

incorrectly manufactured seal material 

is installed on the bearing. This new AD 

retains the repetitive inspection of the 

bearings and also requires replacing the 

defective bearings. This AD was 

prompted by a report that certain 

bearings were manufactured with an 

incorrect seal material that does not 

meet Bell specifications. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent failure of the bearing 

and subsequent loss of control of the 

helicopter. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 14, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2013–11–05, 

Amendment 39–17465 (78 FR 33204, 

June 4, 2013) (AD 2013–11–05). AD 

2013–11–05 applied to Bell Model 

214B, 214B–1, and 214ST helicopters 

with certain part-numbered bearings 

installed. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on August 12, 2013 (78 

FR 48822). The NPRM proposed to 

retain the repetitive inspection 

requirements of AD 2013–11–05 and 

also proposed to require replacing any 

bearing that has black seal material with 

a bearing that has correct seal material 

within 500 hours time-in-service (TIS) 

or 6 months, whichever occurs earlier, 

as a terminating action. AD 2013–11–05 

was prompted by a report that all part 

number 214–040–606–005 and 214– 

040–606–101 bearings delivered 

between May 2011 and June 2012 were 

manufactured with incorrect seal 

material that does not meet Bell’s 

operating and environmental 

temperature specifications. Since we 

issued AD 2013–11–05, we determined 

that replacing the bearings within 500 

hours TIS will provide an acceptable 

level of safety and should be a required 

terminating action for the repetitive 

inspections. These actions are intended 

to prevent loss of bearing grease, failure 

of the bearing, and subsequent loss of 

control of the helicopter. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD, but 

we did not receive any comments on the 

NPRM (78 FR 48822, August 12, 2013). 

FAA’s Determination 

We have reviewed the relevant 

information and determined that an 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other helicopters of 

these same type designs and that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD requirements as 

proposed. 

Related Service Information 

Bell issued Alert Service Bulletin 

(ASB) 214–13–74, Revision A, dated 

March 25, 2013, for Model 214B and 

214B–1 helicopters serial number (S/N) 

28001 through 28070, and ASB 214ST– 

13–90, Revision A, dated March 25, 

2013, for Model 214ST helicopters. Both 

ASBs describe procedures to determine 

whether any bearing with incorrect seal 

material is installed on the helicopter 

and for inspecting any installed bearing 

with incorrect seal material every 10 

hours TIS. Both ASBs also specify 

replacing any bearing with incorrect 

seal material that is leaking grease or 

damaged. Finally, the ASBs specify 

replacing any bearing with incorrect 

seal material within 500 hours TIS or by 

December 31, 2013. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

Service Information 

The Bell ASBs allow 25 hours TIS for 

the initial inspection, while this AD 

requires inspecting within 10 hours TIS. 

The ASBs specify replacing any bearing 

with black seal material within 500 

hours TIS or by December 31, 2013. 

This AD requires replacement within 

500 hours TIS or 6 months, whichever 

occurs earlier. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 26 

helicopters of U.S. Registry. We estimate 

that operators will incur the following 

costs in order to comply with this AD. 

At an average labor cost of $85 per hour, 

inspecting the bearings requires about 

2.5 work hours, for a cost per helicopter 

of $213 and a cost of $5,538 for the fleet. 

Replacing a defective bearing requires 

about 3 work hours, and required parts 

would cost $1,372, for a cost per 

helicopter of $1,627. 

According to Bell’s service 

information some of the costs of this AD 

may be covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

individuals. We do not control warranty 

coverage by Bell. Accordingly, we have 

included all costs in our cost estimate. 

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 have 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.
