22044 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 27, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

because we evaluated the information 

provided by EASA and determined the 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other helicopters of 

the same type design. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI AD 

We refer to flight hours as hours timein-service. Also, we do not refer to a 

calendar compliance date of December 

31, 2009, because the effective date of 

this AD would be later than that date. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD would affect 

about 73 helicopters of U.S. registry. We 

also estimate that it would take about 5 

work-hours per helicopter to modify the 

BATT BUS circuit breaker installation. 

The average labor rate is $85 per workhour. Required parts will cost about 

$700 for the BATT BUS circuit breaker 

kit. Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of this AD on U.S. operators 

would be $82,125, assuming the entire 

fleet is modified. 

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 

product(s) 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. 

Therefore, I certify this proposed 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); and 

3. 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. 

We prepared an economic evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

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 adding 

the following new AD: 

AGUSTA S.p.A.: Docket No. FAA–2010– 

0449; Directorate Identifier 2009–SW– 

38–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive your comments by 

May 27, 2010. 

Other Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Agusta Model 

A109E helicopters, all serial numbers up to 

and including serial number (S/N) 11758 

(except S/N 11741, 11754, and 11757) 

modified with a circuit breaker modification 

kit, part number (P/N) 109–0812–04–101, 

–103, –107, or –109; certificated in any 

category. 

Reason 

(d) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) AD states 

after a report of an electrical failure, an 

investigation revealed inadequate 

functioning of the 35 amperes (Amps) battery 

bus (BATT BUS) circuit breaker. 

Actions and Compliance 

(e) Within 50 hours time-in-service, unless 

already done, modify the fuselage electrical 

installation, P/N 109–0741–49, and the 

overhead panel electrical installation, P/N 

109–0741–55 with a BATT BUS circuit 

breaker modification kit, P/N 109–0824–73– 

101, as depicted in Figures 1 and 2 and by 

following the Compliance Instructions, 

paragraphs 2 through 20.7, of Agusta 

Bollettino Tecnico No. 109EP–98, dated June 

22, 2009. 

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI 

AD 

(f) We refer to flight hours as hours timein-service. Also, we do not refer to a calendar 

compliance date of December 31, 2009, 

because the effective date of this AD would 

be later than that date.

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for SIAPs 

operations at Paynesville Municipal 

Airport, Paynesville, MN. Controlled 

airspace is needed for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009 and 

effective September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (1) Is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this rule, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

section 106 describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart 

I, section 40103. Under that section, the 

FAA is charged with prescribing 

regulations to assign the use of airspace 

necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft 

and the efficient use of airspace. This 

regulation is within the scope of that 

authority as it would establish 

controlled airspace at Paynesville 

Municipal Airport, Paynesville, MN.
