71492 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 232 / Monday, December 3, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

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 have 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 

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.

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 airworthiness directive (AD) 

2009–03–04, Amendment 39–15805 (74 

FR 7796, February 20, 2009), and adding 

the following new AD: 

2012–23–12 Turbomeca S.A.: Amendment 

39–17268; Docket No. FAA–2008–0681; 

Directorate Identifier 2008–NE–13–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective January 7, 2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD supersedes AD 2009–03–04, 

Amendment 39–15805 (74 FR 7796, February 

20, 2009. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Turbomeca S.A. models 

Arriel 1E2, 1S, and 1S1 turboshaft engines 

with FCUs manufactured, repaired, or 

overhauled on or before March 31, 2008. 

(d) Unsafe Condition 

Turbomeca S.A. informed the European 

Aviation Safety Agency of a case of a ‘‘red 

disk’’ plug, adapted for bench testing, which 

was installed on the FCU on an engine and 

released for service operation. An engine 

experienced an in-service high pressure leak 

event (at the fuel pump outlet) due to 

cracking of this ‘‘red disk’’ plug. This leak 

could lead to in-flight flame-out and/or 

possibly a fire. This AD was prompted by 

Turbomeca S.A. informing us that FCUs 

manufactured, repaired, or overhauled after 

March 31, 2008, do not require inspection. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent fuel leaks, 

which could result in a fire and damage to 

the helicopter. 

(e) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. Within 100 operating hours from the 

effective date of this AD, perform a one-time 

inspection of the plug installed in the FCU 

3-way union, part number 9 932 30 706 0. 

(1) If the FCU 3-way union plug is 

unpainted, verify the plug is torqued to 

between 1.3 and 1.5 daN.m, in accordance 

with Turbomeca S.A. Mandatory Service 

Bulletin (MSB) No. 292 73 0817, Version D, 

dated February 29, 2012, before further flight. 

(2) If the FCU 3-way union plug has any 

red paint on it, replace it with a serviceable 

plug and torque the plug to between 1.3 and 

1.5 daN.m, in accordance with Turbomeca 

S.A. MSB No. 292 73 0817, Version D, dated 

February 29, 2012, before further flight. 

(f) Installation Prohibition 

After the effective date of this AD, do not 

install any FCU manufactured, repaired, or 

overhauled on or before March 31, 2008, onto 

any Turbomeca S.A. model Arriel 1E2, 1S, 

and 1S1 turboshaft engine, unless the FCU 3- 

way union plug has passed the one-time 

inspection and torque check required by this 

AD. 

(g) Credit for Previous Actions 

If you performed the inspections and 

corrective actions required by this AD using 

the original issue or any version up to and 

including Version D of Turbomeca S.A. MSB 

No. 292 73 0817 before the effective date of 

this AD, you have met the requirements of 

this AD.

Amendment of VOR Federal Airway V– 

8 in the Vicinity of Rifle, CO 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

Airway V–8 in the vicinity of Rifle, CO, 

to correct the description contained in 

part 71 to ensure it matches the 

information contained in the FAA’s 

aeronautical database, matches the 

depiction on the associated charts, and 

to ensure the safety and efficiency of the 

National Airspace System (NAS). 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC 

December 3, 2012. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

After a recent review of aeronautical 

data, the Aeronautical Navigation 

Products Group identified the current 

VOR Federal airway V–8 description 

published in FAA Order 7400.9, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, did not match the airway 

information contained in the FAA’s 

aeronautical database or the charted 

depiction of the airway. When V–8 was 

amended in the Federal Register of 

September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51010), the 

airway was realigned over the Rifle, CO, 

VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) 

navigation aid between Grand Junction, 

CO, and Kremmling, CO. In the Federal 

Register of August 9, 2010 (75 FR 

47709), V–8 was renamed from the 

Findlay, OH, VORTAC to the Flag City, 

OH, VORTAC. The Rifle, CO, VOR/DME 

was inadvertently deleted from the 

airway description. The FAA 

aeronautical database retained the Rifle, 

CO, VOR/DME in the airway description 

correctly and the associated 

aeronautical charts remain published 

accordingly. To overcome any confusion 

or flight safety issues associated with 

conflicting airway description 

information being published, the FAA is 

amending the V–8 legal description to 

reflect the airway aligned over the Rifle, 

CO, VOR/DME. Accordingly, since this 

is an administrative correction to update 

the V–8 description to be in concert 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database 

and charting, notice and public 

procedures under Title 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 

are unnecessary. 

The Rule 

The FAA amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending the legal description of VOR 

Federal airway V–8 in the vicinity of 

Rifle, CO. Specifically, the FAA amends 

V–8 to reflect the airway aligned over 

the Rifle, CO, VOR/DME; thus, matching 

the information currently contained in 

the FAA’s aeronautical database and the 

charted depiction of the airway. 

VOR Federal airways are listed in 

paragraph 6010 of FAA Order 7400.9W 

dated August 8, 2012, and effective 

September 15, 2012, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airway listed in 

this document will be revised 

subsequently in the Order. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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. Since this is a routine 

matter that will only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
