ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

reports of multiple cases of ram air 

turbine (RAT) blade damage. This AD 

requires deployment of the RAT, 

replacement of the RAT placard with a 

new RAT placard, and re-identification 

of the RAT. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent blade damage to the RAT, 

which could prevent RAT deployment 

in flight during an emergency, possibly 

resulting in reduced control of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective May 31, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD

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 all Dassault Aviation Model 

FALCON 7X airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 4, 2016 (81 FR 28) (‘‘the 

NPRM’’). The NPRM was prompted by 

reports of multiple cases of ram air 

turbine (RAT) blade damage. The NPRM 

proposed to require deployment of the 

RAT, replacement of the RAT placard 

with a new RAT placard, and reidentification of the RAT. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent blade damage 

to the RAT, which could prevent RAT 

deployment in flight during an 

emergency, possibly resulting in 

reduced control of the airplane. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2015–0076, 

dated May 6, 2015 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Dassault Aviation Model 

FALCON 7X airplanes. The MCAI 

states: 

A few cases of Ram Air Turbine (RAT) 

blade damage have been reported during 

maintenance operations. This kind of damage 

is caused by an incorrect locking of RAT 

rotor, due to improper positioning of blades 

at beginning of retraction, and locking check 

during retraction, which likely occurs during 

stowage of the RAT, after its deployment for 

maintenance purposes. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

prevent RAT deployment in flight during an 

emergency, possibly resulting in reduced 

control of the aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Dassault Aviation issued Service Bulletin 

(SB) 7X–289, which provides instructions to 

smoothly deploy the RAT and install an 

improved placard to ensure proper RAT 

stowage/retraction after maintenance. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires replacement of the 

existing RAT placard with a new placard and 

RAT re-identification. This [EASA] AD also 

provides conditions for installation of a RAT 

on an aeroplane. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

7532. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Dassault Service 

Bulletin 7X–289, dated January 21, 

2015. The service information describes 

procedures for deployment of the RAT, 

replacement of the RAT placard with a 

new RAT placard, and re-identification 

of the RAT. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 45 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 4 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this AD. The average labor rate is $85 

per work-hour. Required parts will cost 

about $121 per product. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

on U.S. operators to be $20,745, or $461 

per product. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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 that 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 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
24464 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 26, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

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.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule revises the

procedural issues that have arisen in 

claim adjudications and other technical

accuracy of benefits entitlement 

decisions, the final rule includes a new 

provision that requires all parties to 

exchange with each other any medical 

information developed in connection 

with a claim for benefits and allows for 

the imposition of sanctions for failure to 

comply with the rule. The final rule also 

clarifies a liable coal mine operator’s 

obligation to pay effective benefits 

awards by requiring payment before
