GA200 (Pty) Ltd Models GA200 and 

GA200C 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 failure 

of the wing strut bolt through the main 

spar. We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to address the unsafe condition 

on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on October 15, 2012 (77 FR 

62466), and proposed to revise AD 

2012–18–10, Amendment 39–17187 (77 

FR 55686, September 11, 2012). 

Since we issued AD 2012–18–10, 

Amendment 39–17187 (77 FR 55686, 

September 11, 2012), the Civil Aviation 

Safety Authority (CASA), which is the 

aviation authority for the 

Commonwealth of Australia, has issued 

AD AD/GA200/1, Amendment 1, dated 

September 21, 2012 (referred to after 

this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states that: 

As a result of a reported case of failure of 

a strut on a GA200C aircraft, GippsAero has 

issued a mandatory service bulletin to alert 

operators and maintenance organisations and 

to provide inspection and rectification 

actions. 

This Airworthiness Directive makes this 

inspection and rectification action 

mandatory. Failure to complete the actions 

required by this service bulletin may result 

in wing strut bolt failure, resulting in wing 

structural failure. 

Amendment 1 is issued to revise the repeat 

inspection compliance time to 500 hours 

(previously 100 hours). The requirement 

service bulletin is also revised to provide a 

corrective action if the inboard (upper) strut 

fitting hole is found to be larger than 

specified. The initial inspection compliance 

time of 10 hours remains unchanged. 

This AD retains the actions required 

in AD 2012–18–10, Amendment 39– 

17187 (77 FR 55686, September 11, 

2012), changes the compliance time for 

the repetitive inspections from intervals 

of 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) to 

intervals of 500 hours TIS, and 

incorporates the revised service bulletin 

that includes repair instructions in lieu 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with 
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 248 / Thursday, December 27, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 76233 

of contacting the manufacturer. You 

may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (77 

FR 62466, October 15, 2012) 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 (77 FR 

62466, October 15, 2012) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 62466, 

October 15, 2012). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 3 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 2 workhours 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 this AD on U.S. operators to 

be $510, or $170 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions will take 

about 2 work-hours and require parts 

costing $400, for a cost of $570 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 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. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Management Facility between 9 

a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD 

docket contains the NPRM (77 FR 

62466, October 15, 2012), the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Office (telephone (800) 647– 

5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. 

Comments will be available in the AD 

docket shortly after receipt. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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 39–17187 (77 FR 

55686, September 11, 2012) and adding 

the following new AD: 

2012–18–10 R1 GA200 (Pty) Ltd: 

Amendment 39–17294; Docket No. 

FAA–2012–0946; Directorate Identifier 

2012–CE–037–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes 

effective January 31, 2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD revises AD 2012–18–10, 

Amendment 39–17187 (77 FR 55686, 

September 11, 2012). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to GA200 (Pty) Ltd Models 

GA200 and GA200C airplanes, all serial 

numbers, certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 57: Wings. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued by the aviation authority of another 

country to identify and correct an unsafe 

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI 

describes the unsafe condition as failure of 

the wing strut bolt through the main spar. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the 

wing strut bolt, which could result in wing 

failure. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) Within 10 hours time-in-service (TIS) 

after September 14, 2012 (the effective date 

retained from AD 2012–18–10, Amendment 

39–17187 (77 FR 55686, September 11, 

2012)), inspect the inboard strut fitting 

following GippsAero Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB–GA200–2012–08, Issue 1, dated 

August 22, 2012 (which is incorporated by 

reference in AD 2012–18–10); or GippsAero 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB–GA200– 

2012–08, Issue 2, dated September 4, 2012. 

Repetitively thereafter inspect at intervals not 

to exceed 500 hours TIS following GippsAero 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB–GA200– 

2012–08, Issue 2, dated September 4, 2012. 

The inspection procedures remain the same; 

however, the revised service bulletin 

provides repair instructions in lieu of 

contacting the manufacturer. 

(2) If the 100-hour TIS repetitive inspection 

previously required in AD 2012–18–10, 

Amendment 39–17187 (77 FR 55686, 

September 11, 2012) has already been done 

before January 31, 2013 (the effective date of 

this AD) following GippsAero Mandatory 

Service Bulletin SB–GA200–2012–08, Issue 

1, dated August 22, 2012 (which is 

incorporated by reference in AD 2012–18– 

10), the next required inspections are due at 

intervals not to exceed 500 hours TIS after 

the last inspection following GippsAero 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB–GA200– 

2012–08, Issue 2, dated September 4, 2012. 

(3) If any discrepancies are found during 

any of the inspections required by paragraphs 

(f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD, before further 

flight after the inspection in which the 

discrepancy is found, take all necessary 

corrective actions following GippsAero 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB–GA200– 

2012–08, Issue 1, dated August 22, 2012 

(which is incorporated by reference in AD 

2012–18–10); or GippsAero Mandatory

Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202– 

418–0530 (voice), 202–418–0432 (tty). 

Summary of the Order 

1. In the Order, the Commission 

makes several non-substantial editorial 

revisions to the parts 2, 15, and 90 of the 

Commission’s rules. The most 

significant of these updates are: 1) 

correct the cross references to 

Allocation Table footnotes in parts 15 

and 90 of the Commission’s rules; 2) 

update the list of grandfathered sites in 

the 1432–1435 MHz band; and 3) 

remove an unused Federal site from the 

list of grandfathered sites in the 3650– 

3700 MHz band. 

2. US117. NTIA requested that the 

Commission correct the coordinates for 

Table Mountain Observatory in US117 

by revising the latitude from 40° 07′ 50’’ 

N to 40° 08′ 02’’ N. The Commission 

noted that the requested change would 

have little or no impact on non-Federal 

operations because paragraph (b) of 

US117 states that non-Federal use of the 

406.1–410 MHz band is limited to the 

radio astronomy service and as provided 

by US13 (i.e., two channels that are 

available for the specific purpose of 

transmitting hydrological and 

meteorological data). Accordingly, the 

Commission revised the coordinates of 

the Table Mountain Observatory in 

US117 as requested by NTIA. 

3. General Aviation Air-Ground 

Stations. Section 22.805 lists 13 channel 

pairs that are allocated for the provision 

of radiotelephone service to airborne 

mobile subscribers in general aviation 

aircraft. The Commission amended 

NG12 to accurately reflect the frequency 

bands that may be assigned to domestic 

public land and mobile stations to 

provide a two-way air-ground public 

radiotelephone service per Section 

22.805. Accordingly, the Commission 

replaced the 454.4–455 MHz and 459.4– 

460 MHz bands in NG12 with the more 

specific 454.6625–454.9875 MHz and 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with
