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 EVEKTOR, spol. s.r.o. Models 

L 13 SEH VIVAT and L 13 SDM VIVAT 

gliders. That NPRM was published in 

the Federal Register on March 4, 2016 

(81 FR 11465), and proposed to 

supersede AD 2000–20–12, Amendment 

39–11923 (65 FR 61262, October 17, 

2000). 

The NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products and was based on mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI) originated by an aviation 

authority of another country. The MCAI 

states that: 

To prevent destruction of tail-fuselage 

attachment fitting which can lead to loss of 

control of the sailplane. This destruction 

could be caused due to lower strength of the 

material used during production. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at: https://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2016-4230- 

0003. 

A review of records since issuance of 

AD 2000–20–12 revealed that the FAA 

inadvertently did not address this MCAI 

for the EVEKTOR, spol. s.r.o. Model L 

13 SDM VIVAT gliders and the BLANIK 

LIMITED Model L–13 AC Blanik gliders. 

This AD supersedes AD 2000–20–12 to 

add the EVECTOR, spol. s.r.o. Model L 

13 SDM VIVAT gliders to the 

applicability of the AD. 

The FAA is addressing the BLANIK 

LIMITED Model L–13 AC Blanik gliders 

in another AD action. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 111 / Thursday, June 9, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 37125 

received no comments on the NPRM (81 

FR 11465, March 4, 2016) 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 the AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We identified that we 

inadvertently included a parts cost for 

the initial inspection in the NPRM (81 

FR 11465, March 4, 2016), and we 

removed that parts cost from this final 

rule AD action. The basic estimated cost 

for U.S. operators remains the same. We 

have determined that these minor 

changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 

11465, March 4, 2016) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 11465, 

March 4, 2016). 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

AEROTECHNIK CZ s.r.o. issued 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SEH 13– 

005a, dated November 18, 1999. The 

service information describes 

procedures for testing the material 

strength of attachment fitting part 

number A 102 021N and instructions for 

contacting the manufacturer for 

replacement information if necessary. 

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 

the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 9 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would 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. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the AD on U.S. operators to 

be $3,060, or $340 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 16 work-hours and require parts 

costing $500, for a cost of $1,860 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

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 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. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2016– 

4230; or in person at the Docket 

Management Facility between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains the NPRM, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Office (telephone (800) 647– 

5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. 

Comments will be available in the AD 

docket shortly after receipt. 

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 39–11923 (65 FR 

61262; October 17, 2000) and adding the 

following new AD: 

2016–11–12 EVEKTOR, spol. s.r.o.: 

Amendment 39–18539; Docket No. 

FAA–2016–4230; Directorate Identifier 

2015–CE–041–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes 

effective July 14, 2016. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD supersedes AD 2000–20–12, 

Amendment 39–11923 (65 FR 61262; October 

17, 2000) (‘‘AD 2000–20–12’’). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to EVEKTOR, spol. s.r.o. 

Models L 13 SEH VIVAT and L 13 SDM 

VIVAT gliders (type certificate previously 

held by AEROTECHNIK s.r.o.), all serial 

numbers, certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 53: Fuselage. 

(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 insufficient 

material strength of the tail-fuselage 

attachment fitting. We are issuing this 

proposed AD to detect and correct tailfuselage fittings with insufficient material 

strength, which if left uncorrected could 

result in detachment of the tail from the 

fuselage with consequent loss of control.
