Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 52 / Tuesday, March 18, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 14999 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Bombardier, Inc. 

Model DHC–8–400, –401, and –402 

airplanes, certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 32, Landing gear. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a report that a 

batch of main landing gear (MLG) door 

actuators with a certain part number having 

certain serial numbers could be assembled 

with the scraper installed backward. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent incorrectly 

installed scrapers, which could hinder the 

operation of the MLG alternate extension 

system (AES), and result in failure of the 

MLG AES on one side, and consequent 

unsafe asymmetrical landing configuration. 

(f) Compliance 

You are responsible for having the actions 

required by this AD performed within the 

compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(g) Inspection to Determine Part Number of 

MLG Door Actuators 

Within 50 flight hours after the effective 

date of this AD, inspect the MLG door 

actuators to determine whether part number 

(P/N) 46830–7 is installed. A review of 

airplane maintenance records is acceptable in 

lieu of this inspection if the part number of 

the MLG door actuator can be conclusively 

determined from that review. 

(h) Functional Check of the MLG AES 

If, during the inspection to determine the 

part number of the MLG actuators as required 

by paragraph (g) of this AD, any MLG door 

actuator having P/N 46830–7 and a serial 

number included in paragraph 1.A. 

‘‘Effectivity,’’ of Bombardier Service Bulletin 

84–32–108, Revision A, dated October 1, 

2012, is found; or if the part number is 

unable to be determined: At the applicable 

time specified in paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of 

this AD, do a functional check of the MLG 

AES, in accordance with Part A of paragraph 

3.B. ‘‘Procedure,’’ of the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 

84–32–108, Revision A, dated October 1, 

2012. Repeat the functional check thereafter 

at intervals not to exceed 50 flight cycles 

until the actions required by paragraph (i) of 

this AD are done. If the force applied during 

the functional check exceeds 67 pound-force 

(lbf), before further flight, replace the affected 

actuator, in accordance with Part B of 

paragraph 3.B. ‘‘Procedure,’’ of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 84–32–108, Revision A, 

dated October 1, 2012. 

(1) For airplanes with MLG door actuators 

that have accumulated more than 950 total 

flight hours as of the effective date of this 

AD: Within 50 flight hours after the effective 

date of this AD. 

(2) For airplanes with MLG door actuators 

that have accumulated 950 total flight hours 

or less as of the effective date of this AD: 

Within 1,000 flight hours after the effective 

date of this AD. 

(i) Terminating Action for Repetitive 

Functional Checks 

At the earlier of the times specified in 

paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this AD: 

Replace all MLG door actuators having P/N 

46830–7 and a serial number included in 

paragraph 1.A. ‘‘Effectivity,’’ of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 84–32–108, Revision A, 

dated October 1, 2012, with MLG door 

actuators reworked in accordance with Part 

B of paragraph 3.B. ‘‘Procedure,’’ of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 84–32–108, Revision A, 

dated October 1, 2012, or with a MLG door 

actuator having P/N 46830–7 and a serial 

number that is not included in section 1.A. 

‘‘Effectivity,’’ of Bombardier Service Bulletin 

84–32–108, Revision A, dated October 1, 

2012. Installation of a MLG door actuator 

having P/N 46830–7 with ‘‘Mod Status 32– 

106’’ on the identification plate is acceptable 

for compliance with the requirements of this 

paragraph. 

(1) Prior to the accumulation of 3,000 total 

flight hours on any MLG door actuator, or 

within 50 flight hours after the effective date 

of this AD, whichever occurs later. 

(2) Within 12 months or 2,000 flight hours 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first. 

(j) Credit for Previous Actions 

This paragraph provides credit for actions 

required by paragraph (i) of this AD, if those 

actions were performed before the effective 

date of this AD using Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 84–32–108, dated September 6, 

2012, which is not incorporated by reference 

in this AD. 

(k) Parts Installation Limitation 

As of the effective date of this AD, no 

person may install a MLG door actuator 

having P/N 46830–7, with a serial number 

identified in paragraph 1.A. ‘‘Effectivity,’’ of

15000 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 52 / Tuesday, March 18, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts 

miscellaneous amendments to the 

required IFR (instrument flight rules) 

altitudes and changeover points for 

certain Federal airways, jet routes, or 

direct routes for which a minimum or 

maximum en route authorized IFR 

altitude is prescribed. This regulatory 

action is needed because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System. These changes are designed to 

provide for the safe and efficient use of 

the navigable airspace under instrument 

conditions in the affected areas. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, April 3, 

2014.

25082 Oklahoma City, OK. 73125) 

telephone: (405) 954–4164. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to part 95 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) 

amends, suspends, or revokes IFR 

altitudes governing the operation of all 

aircraft in flight over a specified route 

or any portion of that route, as well as 

the changeover points (COPs) for 

Federal airways, jet routes, or direct 

routes as prescribed in part 95. 

The Rule 

The specified IFR altitudes, when 

used in conjunction with the prescribed 

changeover points for those routes, 

ensure navigation aid coverage that is 

adequate for safe flight operations and 

free of frequency interference. The 

reasons and circumstances that create 

the need for this amendment involve 

matters of flight safety and operational 

efficiency in the National Airspace 

System, are related to published 

aeronautical charts that are essential to 

the user, and provide for the safe and 

efficient use of the navigable airspace. 

In addition, those various reasons or 

circumstances require making this 

amendment effective before the next 

scheduled charting and publication date 

of the flight information to assure its 

timely availability to the user. The 

effective date of this amendment reflects 

those considerations. In view of the 

close and immediate relationship 

between these regulatory changes and 

safety in air commerce, I find that notice 

and public procedure before adopting 

this amendment are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and that 

good cause exists for making the 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Conclusion 

The FAA has determined that this 

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. For the same 

reason, the FAA certifies that this 

amendment will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the 

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation’s 

regulations on Benefits Payable in 

Terminated Single-Employer Plans and 

Allocation of Assets in Single-Employer 

Plans to prescribe interest assumptions 

under the benefit payments regulation 

for valuation dates in April 2014 and 

interest assumptions under the asset 

allocation regulation for valuation dates 

in the second quarter of 2014. The 

interest assumptions are used for 

valuing and paying benefits under 

terminating single-employer plans 

covered by the pension insurance 

system administered by PBGC. 

DATES: Effective April 1, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC’s 

regulations on Allocation of Assets in 

Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR Part 

4044) and Benefits Payable in 

Terminated Single-Employer Plans (29 

CFR Part 4022) prescribe actuarial 

assumptions—including interest 

assumptions—for valuing and paying 

plan benefits under terminating singleemployer plans covered by title IV of 

the Employee Retirement Income 

Security Act of 1974. The interest 

assumptions in the regulations are also 

published on PBGC’s Web site (http://

www.pbgc.gov). 

The interest assumptions in Appendix 

B to Part 4044 are used to value benefits 

for allocation purposes under ERISA 

section 4044. PBGC uses the interest 

assumptions in Appendix B to Part 4022 

to determine whether a benefit is 

payable as a lump sum and to determine 

the amount to pay. Appendix C to Part 

4022 contains interest assumptions for 

private-sector pension practitioners to 

refer to if they wish to use lump-sum 

interest rates determined using PBGC’s 

historical methodology. Currently, the 

rates in Appendices B and C of the 

benefit payment regulation are the same. 

The interest assumptions are intended 

to reflect current conditions in the 

financial and annuity markets. 

Assumptions under the asset allocation 

regulation are updated quarterly; 

assumptions under the benefit payments 

regulation are updated monthly. This 

final rule updates the benefit payments 

interest assumptions for April 2014 and 

updates the asset allocation interest 

assumptions for the second quarter 

(April through June) of 2014. 

The second quarter 2014 interest 

assumptions under the allocation 

regulation will be 3.47 percent for the 

first 20 years following the valuation 

date and 3.64 percent thereafter. In 

comparison with the interest 

assumptions in effect for the first 

quarter of 2014, these interest 

assumptions represent no change in the 

select period (the period during which 

the select rate (the initial rate) applies), 

an increase of 0.12 percent in the select 

rate, and an increase of 0.14 percent in 

the ultimate rate (the final rate). 

The April 2014 interest assumptions 

under the benefit payments regulation 

will be 1.50 percent for the period 

during which a benefit is in pay status 

and 4.00 percent during any years 

preceding the benefit’s placement in pay 

status. In comparison with the interest 

assumptions in effect for March 2014, 

these interest assumptions are 

unchanged. 

PBGC has determined that notice and 

public comment on this amendment are 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. This finding is based on the 

need to determine and issue new 

interest assumptions promptly so that 

the assumptions can reflect current 

market conditions as accurately as 

possible. 

Because of the need to provide 

immediate guidance for the valuation 

and payment of benefits under plans 

with valuation dates during April 2014, 

PBGC finds that good cause exists for 

making the assumptions set forth in this 

amendment effective less than 30 days 

after publication. 

PBGC has determined that this action 

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under the criteria set forth in Executive 

Order 12866. 

Because no general notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required for this 

amendment, the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act of 1980 does not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 

601(2).
