553(a)(2) of the APA, we have 

determined that notice and public 

comment are unnecessary and contrary 

to the public interest. Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(A) and (B) of the APA, an agency 

may publish regulations in final form 

when they involve matters of agency 

organization or where the agency for 

good cause finds that notice and public 

comment are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest. As discussed above, this 

amendment results from recent address 

changes due to the relocation of one 

field office. Because the amendment 

will provide accurate and current 

information on field office addresses to 

the public, it would be contrary to the 

public interest to delay amending the 

regulation. 

III. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Pursuant to section 605(b) of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.), FCA hereby certifies that the 

final rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Each of the 

banks in the Farm Credit System 

(System), considered together with its 

affiliated associations, has assets and 

annual income in excess of the amounts 

that would qualify them as small 

entities. Therefore, System institutions 

are not ‘‘small entities’’ as defined in the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Airworthiness Directives; GE Aviation 

Czech s.r.o. Turboprop Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

serial number GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. 

M601E–11, M601E–11A, and M601F 

turboprop engines. This AD requires 

inspection of the reduction gearbox and 

supporting cone. This AD was prompted 

by the determination that wear or 

cracking, and subsequent misalignment 

of the quill shaft of the engine and the 

power turbine (PT) shaft, may lead to 

rupture of the quill shaft, overspeed of 

the PT, and uncontained engine failure. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent 

misalignment and rupture of the quill 

shaft, which could lead to overspeed of 

the PT, uncontained engine failure, and 

damage to the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

August 18, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of August 18, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on April 10, 2015 (80 FR 

19244). The NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

It has been identified that misalignment 

between the quill shaft of the engine and the 

Power Turbine (PT) shaft may lead to a 

rupture of the quill shaft. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could lead to overspeed of the PT 

and consequent uncontained engine failure, 

possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane 

and injury to occupants and/or persons on 

the ground. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. 

Alert Service Bulletins (ASBs) No. 

M601E–11/28, M601E–11A/15, and 

M601F/26, all Revision 2, all dated 

January 23, 2015. This service 

information describes procedures for 

inspecting the M601 reduction gearbox 

and supporting cone. 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 AD.

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (80 

FR 19244, April 10, 2015). 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 16 

engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it would 

take about 112 hours per engine to 

comply with this AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per hour. Required parts cost 

about $21,376 per engine. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this AD on U.S. operators to be 

$494,336. Our cost estimate is exclusive 

of possible warranty coverage. 

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 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 this 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), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain The Boeing Company 

Model 737–100, –200, –200C, –300, 

–400, and –500 series airplanes. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on June 11, 2014 (79 FR 33484). 

The NPRM was prompted by reports of 

fatigue cracks found in the upper 

corners of the forward entry door skin 

cutout. The NPRM proposed to require 

repetitive inspections for cracking in the 

upper corners of the forward entry door 

skin cutout, and repair if necessary. 

Accomplishment of this repair or a 

preventive modification would 

terminate the repetitive inspections. We 

are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

cracking in the doorway upper corners, 

which could result in cabin 

depressurization. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (79 FR 33484, 

June 11, 2014) and the FAA’s response 

to each comment. 

Support for the NPRM (79 FR 33484, 

June 11, 2014) 

Boeing stated that it supports the 

NPRM (79 FR 33484, June 11, 2014). 

Request To Clarify Terminating Action 

Southwest Airlines (SWA) requested 

confirmation that paragraph 3.B.4. of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing 

Alert Service Bulletin 737–53A1163, 

Revision 1, dated January 8, 2014, is an 

acceptable terminating action for the 

inspection requirements of paragraph 

(g)(1) of this NPRM (79 FR 33484, June 

11, 2014) for the repaired door corners. 

SWA stated that the repairs provided 

in Part 3 of the Accomplishment
