SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to add an AD that would apply 

to certain SOCATA Model TBM 700 

airplanes. The NPRM was published in 

the Federal Register on January 27, 

2014 (79 FR 4300), and proposed to 

supersede AD 99–07–11, Amendment 

39–11096 (64 FR 14820, March 29, 

1999) (‘‘AD 99–07–11’’). 

Since we issued AD 99–07–11 (64 FR 

14820, March 29, 1999), SOCATA 

determined that the cause of the cracks 

in the horizontal stabilizer outboard 

hinge fitting was due to the incorrect 

installation of the fittings during 

production, which induced stress. 

SOCATA has issued new mandatory 

service information to require a 

modification to the outboard hinge 

fittings of the horizontal stabilizer to 

eliminate the stress. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued AD No. 2013– 

0035, dated February 22, 2013 (referred 

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

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

During the 1990s, several occurrences were 

reported of finding cracks in the outboard 

hinge fittings of the horizontal stabiliser on 

TBM 700 aeroplanes. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could result in rupture of the 

outboard hinge fittings, which would 

adversely affect the structural integrity of the 

horizontal stabiliser. The in-flight loss of the 

horizontal stabiliser would result in reduced 

control of the aeroplane, 

To address this unsafe condition, DGAC 

France issued AD 1999–060(A), requiring 

repetitive inspections of the fittings and, 

depending on findings, corrective action. 

After that AD was issued, SOCATA 

determined that the cause of the cracks was 

a wrong installation of the fittings during 

production, inducing stress. Consequently, 

DGAC France issued AD 2000–307(A), 

partially retaining the requirements of DGAC 

France AD 1999–060(A), which was 

superseded, and required, depending on 

findings, that the installation of the fittings 

of in-service aeroplanes be rectified by 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 84 / Thursday, May 1, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 24557 

introduction of adjusting shims, a 

modification which was introduced as 

standard on the production line from MSN 

162. The periodical inspection of the fittings 

for cracks was still required, pending a better 

understanding of the cause of the cracks. 

Since DCAG France AD 2000–307(A) was 

issued, the results of the further analysis 

revealed that the final design (installation of 

shims on the outboard hinge fittings of the 

horizontal stabiliser) guarantees a service 

fatigue life which exceeds the one 

established for the TBM 700 during 

certification. Consequently, for aeroplanes 

with this modification, the repetitive 

inspections of the fittings can be 

discontinued. However, as the installation of 

the fittings was only required depending on 

findings, this modification may not have 

been accomplished on all affected 

aeroplanes. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

supersedes (and thereby cancels the 

requirements of) DGAC France AD 2000– 

307(A) and requires installation of shims on 

the outboard hinge fittings of the horizontal 

stabiliser.

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the proposal and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Incorporate Amended 

Service Bulletin 

DAHER–SOCATA requested that we 

incorporate Amendment 3 of Mandatory 

Service Bulletin SB 70–080, dated 

September 2013, into the AD to replace 

DAHER–SOCATA TBM Aircraft 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70–080, 

Amendment 2, dated August 2012. 

We agree with the commenter to 

incorporate the newer version of the 

related service information. We will also 

give credit for complying with the 

actions in the proposed AD if already 

done before the effective date of this AD 

following DAHER–SOCATA TBM 

Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 

70–080, Amendment 2, dated August 

2012. 

We have changed the final rule AD 

action based on this comment. 

Request To Change the Number of 

Affected Airplanes 

DAHER–SOCATA requested that we 

change the number of affected airplanes 

in the Cost of Compliance section from 

159 to 80, which is the number of U.S.- 

registered airplanes. 

We agree with the commenter and 

have changed the final rule AD action 

based on this comment. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 4300, 

January 27, 2014) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 4300, 

January 27, 2014). 

We also determined that these changes 

will not increase the economic burden 

on any operator or increase the scope of 

the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

will affect 80 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 6.5 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 $500 per 

product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $84,200, or $1,052.50 per 

product. 

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, 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. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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 39–11096 (64 FR 

14820, March 29, 1999), and adding the 

following new AD: 

2014–09–03 SOCATA: Amendment 39– 

17838; Docket No. FAA–2014–0031; 

Directorate Identifier 2013–CE–054–AD.

29, 1999). 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
24558 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 84 / Thursday, May 1, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to SOCATA TBM 700 

airplanes, manufacturer serial numbers 

(MSN) 1 through 98, 100 through 156, and 

158 through 161, certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 55: Stabilizers. 

(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 cracks on 

the outboard hinge fittings. We are issuing 

this AD to require the use of new service 

information issued by DAHER–SOCATA to 

eliminate the stress on the outboard hinge 

fittings, which is causing the cracks. If this 

condition is not prevented, the outboard 

hinge fittings could fail causing reduced 

structural integrity of the horizontal 

stabilizer, which could result in reduced 

control. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, within the next 100 

hours time-in-service after June 5, 2014 (the 

effective date of this AD) or within the next 

12 months after June 5, 2014 (the effective 

date of this AD), whichever occurs first, 

install shims on the outboard hinge fittings 

of the horizontal stabilizer. Do the 

modification following the Accomplishment 

Instructions in DAHER–SOCATA TBM 

Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70– 

080, Amendment 3, dated September 2013. 

(g) Credit for Actions Done Following 

Previous Service Information 

This AD allows credit for the actions 

required in paragraph (f) of this AD if done 

before June 5, 2014 (the effective date of this 

AD), following DAHER–SOCATA TBM 

Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70– 

080, Amendment 2, dated August 2012.

Addition of Certain Persons to the 

Entity List 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) by 

adding thirteen persons under fourteen 

entries to the Entity List. The persons 

who are added to the Entity List have 

been determined by the U.S. 

Government to be acting contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. These 

persons will be listed on the Entity List 

under the destinations of Cyprus, 

Luxembourg and Russia. There are 

fourteen entries to address thirteen 

persons because one person is being 

listed in multiple countries, resulting in 

an additional entry. Specifically, the 

additional entry covers one person in 

Luxembourg who also has an address in 

Russia. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is 

effective May 1, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to 

Part 744) notifies the public about 

entities that have engaged in activities 

that could result in an increased risk of 

the diversion of exported, reexported or 

transferred (in-country) items to 

weapons of mass destruction (WMD) 

programs. Since its initial publication, 

grounds for inclusion on the Entity List 

have expanded to include activities 

sanctioned by the State Department and 

activities contrary to U.S. national 

security or foreign policy interests, 

including terrorism and export control 

violations involving abuse of human 

rights. Certain exports, reexports, and 

transfers (in-country) to entities 

identified on the Entity List require 

licenses from BIS and are usually 

subject to a policy of denial. The 

availability of license exceptions in 

such transactions is very limited. The 

license review policy for each entity is 

identified in the license review policy 

column on the Entity List and the 

availability of license exceptions is 

noted in the Federal Register notices 

adding persons to the Entity List. BIS 

places entities on the Entity List based 

on certain sections of part 744 (Control 

Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) of 

the EAR. 

The End-User Review Committee 

(ERC), composed of representatives of 

the Departments of Commerce (Chair), 

State, Defense, Energy and, where 

appropriate, the Treasury, makes all 

decisions regarding additions to, 

removals from, or other modifications to
