Discussion 

On March 12, 2015, we issued AD 

2015–06–02, Amendment 39–18120 (80 

FR 14810; March 20, 2015). That AD 

required actions intended to address an 

unsafe condition on GA 8 Airvan (Pty) 

Ltd Model GA8–TC320 airplanes and 

was based on mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country. 

Since we issued AD 2015–06–02, a 

specific serial number range has been 

identified for applicability. 

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority 

(CASA), which is the aviation authority 

for Australia, has issued AD/GA8/8, 

Amdt 1, dated March 26, 2015 (referred 

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

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

A recent review of the engine mount 

installation on the GA8–TC 320 aircraft has 

highlighted the omission of engine mount 

fire seal washers during the assembly 

process. 

The current engine mount configuration 

does not meet the certification basis for the 

aircraft, specifically regulation 23.865 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations of the United 

States of America, where engine mounts 

located in designated fire zones are required 

to be suitably shielded so that they are 

capable of withstanding the effects of a fire. 

The Gippsland Aeronautics GA8–TC 320 

aircraft require the installation of an 

approved steel washer at each of the engine 

mount locations to address a potential risk of 

reduced engine retention capability in the 

event of a fire. 

This AD, AD/GA8/8 Amdt 1, amends the 

applicability statement to be inclusive of the 

affected aircraft serial number range. 

You may examine the MCAI on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2014–1123. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR 51 

GippsAero has issued Mandatory 

Service Bulletin SB–GA8–2014–115, 

Issue 1, dated October 6, 2014. The 

service bulletin describes procedures for 

inspecting the orientation of the engine 

isolator mounts to verify proper 

installation, re-installing if necessary, 

and installing steel washers on the 

forward side of each side of the engine 

isolator mounts. This service 

information is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section of this NPRM.

21194 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 74 / Friday, April 17, 2015 / 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 13 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 5 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 $10 per product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $5,655, or $435 per 

product. 

According to the manufacturer, all 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

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 39–18120 (80 FR 

14810, March 20, 2015), and adding the 

following new AD: 

GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd: Docket No. FAA– 

2014–1123; Directorate Identifier 2014– 

CE–037–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by June 1, 

2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD revises AD 2015–06–02, 

Amendment 39–18120 (80 FR 14810; March 

20, 2015). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd 

GA8–TC320 airplanes, all serial numbers up 

to and including GA8–TC 320–14–205, 

certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 71: Power Plant. 

(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 missing 

required engine mount fire seal washers, 

which could reduce the engine retention 

capability in the event of a fire. We are 

issuing this proposed AD to revise the 

applicable airplane serial numbers and to 

detect and correct the omission of steel 

washers at each isolator mount location, 

which, if not corrected, could result in 

reduced engine retention capability in the 

event of a fire. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, comply with this AD 

within the compliance times specified in 

paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(3) of this AD: 

(1) Within the next 300 hours time-inservice after the effective date of this AD or 

within the next 12 months after the effective 

date of this AD, whichever occurs first, 

inspect the orientation of the engine isolator 

mounts to verify that the mounts have been 

installed properly following the 

Accomplishment Instructions in GippsAero 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB–GA8–2014– 

115, Issue 1, dated October 6, 2014. 

(2) Before reinstalling the engine isolator 

mounts following the inspection required in 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further 

flight, install a part number J–2218–61 steel 

washer on the forward side of each of the 

four engine isolator mounts, following the 

Accomplishment Instructions in GippsAero 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB–GA8–2014– 

115, Issue 1, dated October 6, 2014. 

(3) If during the inspection required in 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, any of the engine 

isolator mounts are found to not comply with 

the specifications found in the 

Accomplishment Instructions of GippsAero 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB–GA8–2014– 

115, Issue 1, dated October 6, 2014, before 

further flight, re-install the isolators to the 

correct orientation, or if damage is found, 

replace with airworthy parts. 

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to

Background 

On June 7, 2010, the Department 

published a notice inviting applications 

for new awards for FY 2010 (75 FR 

32164) for Regional Interpreter 

Education Centers (Regional Centers) to 

be funded under the Rehabilitation 

Training Program, authorized under 

section 302 of the Rehabilitation Act of 

1973, as amended (Rehabilitation Act). 

The purpose of the Regional Centers is 

to establish regional interpreter training 

programs that will train a sufficient 

number of qualified interpreters to meet 

the communications needs of 

individuals who are deaf or hard of 

hearing and individuals who are deafblind. The Department awarded grants 

to five Regional Centers in FY 2010 for 

a period of 60 months. All five projects 

are scheduled to end on September 30, 

2015. 

We have determined that it would not 

be in the public interest to run a 

competition under this program in FY 

2015 for new Regional Centers. RSA has 

funded interpreter training programs 

since 1964 to meet the needs of its 

vocational rehabilitation (VR) 

consumers who are deaf, hard of 

hearing, and deaf-blind. At each critical 

juncture RSA has re-evaluated its 

interpreter training program to 

determine how to best meet the evolving 

needs of consumers of interpreting 

services. In the course of this ongoing 

re-evaluation, we have concluded that, 

since 2005, when the current priorities 

were established for the Regional 

Centers, the training needs of 

interpreters have changed as a result of 

new and emerging issues facing VR 

consumers who are deaf, hard of 

hearing, and deaf-blind. 

Conducting a competition before the 

Department has had an opportunity to 

engage in strategic planning activities 

for the current program could result in 

(1) an ineffective or poorly targeted 

investment that would not meet the 

training needs of qualified interpreters 

and (2) the inability to sufficiently meet 

the communication needs of individuals 

who are deaf or hard of hearing and 

individuals who are deaf-blind. We 

intend to use the remainder of FY 2015 

and part of FY 2016 to consider how 

Regional Centers can employ promising
