**Airworthiness Directives; WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation Airplanes** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Final rule; request for
comments.

**SUMMARY :**  We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation Models 2T–1A, 2T–1A–1, and 2T–1A–2 airplanes. This AD requires inspection of the front and rear horizontal stabilizer spar assemblies with replacement of parts as necessary. This AD was prompted by cracking of the horizontal stabilizer spars, which could lead to failure of the horizontal spars with consequent loss of control. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

**DATES :**  This AD is effective June 20,
2012.

The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of June 20, 2012.

We must receive comments on this AD by July 20, 2012.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Discussion

In the last two years, there have been three incidents of horizontal stabilizer failure on WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation Models 2T–1A, 2T–1A–1, and 2T–1A–2 airplanes. Cracks originated from around the circumference of the right stabilizer front spar and, in one incident, the stabilizer separated from the aircraft. This condition, if not corrected, could result in failure of the horizontal stabilizer spars with consequent loss of control. Relevant Service Information

We reviewed WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation, Great Lakes Aircraft, Service Bulletin No. SB–GL12–01R, Revision IR, dated January 25, 2012. The service information describes procedures for inspecting the front and rear horizontal stabilizer spar assemblies with replacement as
necessary.

FAA’s Determination

We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
AD Requirements

This AD requires inspecting the front and rear horizontal stabilizer spar assemblies with replacement of parts as necessary. The AD also requires sending the initial inspection results to the Chicago ACO.

Interim Action

We consider this AD interim action. After evaluating the inspection results, we may take further AD action.
FAA’s Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because failure of the horizontal stabilizer spars could result in loss of control. Therefore, we find that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public comment. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the **ADDRESSES** section. Include the docket number FAA–2012–0578 and Directorate Identifier 2012–CE–019–AD at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of those
comments.


### 33084 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 5, 2012 / Rules and Regulations

We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http:// www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD. Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD affects 134 airplanes of U.S. registry.

We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:



### E STIMATED 

### C OSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators

Inspection of the front and rear horizontal

stabilizer spar assemblies. 4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ....... Not applicable ........... $340 $45,560

We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these replacements:



### O N 

### -C ONDITION 

### C OSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product

Replacement of the front and rear spar stabilizer assembly parts (accumulative cost for all four spar assemblies). 92 work-hours × $85 per hour = 7,820. $2,200 $10,020

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

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 that this AD:

(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), (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

**Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums**  **and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

**DATES :**  This rule is effective June 5, 2012. The compliance date for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the amendatory provisions.

The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of June 5,
2012.
