Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued AD No.: 2013– 

0134, dated July 2, 2013 (referred to 

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

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

During an inspection of a P2006T, a nose 

landing gear (NLG) lower link was found 

with two cracks. The affected NLG lower link 

is part of NLG lower link assembly P/N 26– 

8–1417–000. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could lead to NLG failure, possibly 

resulting in damage to the aeroplane and 

injury to the occupants. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam (hereafter 

referred to as Tecnam) issued Service 

Bulletin (SB) SB–128–CS, providing 

inspection instructions. Tecnam also 

developed an improved NLG lower link 

assembly with P/N 26–8–8000–000, which 

can be installed in service by 

accomplishment of Tecnam SB–104–CS. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires, for aeroplanes equipped with NLG 

lower link assembly P/N 26–8–1417–000, a 

one-time inspection of the NLG lower link 

and, depending on findings, accomplishment 

of the applicable corrective action. This AD 

also requires installation of the improved 

NLG lower link assembly P/N 26–8–8000– 

000. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI on the Internet at 

http://www.regulations.gov by searching 

for and locating it in Docket No. FAA– 

2013–0888. 

Relevant Service Information 

Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl 

issued Service Bulletin No. SB 104–CS, 

Edition 2, Revision 1, dated March 28, 

2013 (now superseded); Service Bulletin 

No. SB 128–CS, Revision 0, dated May

MCAI. 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
63908 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

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 7 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about .5 work-hour 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 $0 per product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $297.50, or $42.50 per 

product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 6 work-hours and require parts 

costing $1,800, for a cost on U.S. 

operators of $16,170, or $2,310 per 

product. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this proposed AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

individuals. We do not control warranty 

coverage for affected individuals. As a 

result, 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 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.
