**SUMMARY :**  This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) Model MD900 helicopters. That AD currently requires turning ON both Vertical Stabilizer Control System (VSCS) switches and turning OFF the autopilot (AP/SAS) switch; pulling certain AP/SAS circuit breakers; installing a placard near the AP/SAS master switch; installing an airspeed limitation placard on the instrument panel; and making changes to the Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM). This amendment retains those requirements and provides an option of replacingeach affected tube adapter with a newlydesigned tube adapter, which provides terminating action for the unsafe condition. This amendment is prompted by the manufacturer introducing an improved, newly-designed tube adapter. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of yaw control and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

**DATES :**  Effective December 13, 2011.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Discussion

On December 28, 2010, we issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that would apply to all MDHI Model MD900 helicopters with a VSCS tube adapter, part number 500N7218–1, installed. This proposal was published in the Federal Register as a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on January 14, 2011 (76 FR 2607). The NPRM proposed to supersede AD 2008–22–53 (73 FR 73165, December 2, 2008), retain the current requirements, and require continuing operations at a reduced speed until each tube adapter is replaced with an improved tube adapter.

We provided the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the proposal or on the determination of the cost to the public. We have determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

We estimate that this AD will affect 39 helicopters of U.S. registry. It will take about 5.5 hours to install the newly designed tube adapters and 0.5 hours for all other required modifications at an average labor rate of $85 per work hour. Required parts will cost about $244 for 2 tube adapters. Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost impact of this AD on U.S. operators is $29,406, assuming both tube adapters are replaced on the entire fleet of helicopters. 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 the regulation:

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); and

3. 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.

We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD. See the AD docket to examine the economic evaluation. 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. 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 Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (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 39–15756 (73 FR 73165, December 2, 2008), and adding the following new AD:
2011–22–08 MD Helicopters, Inc. Model MD900 Helicopters: Amendment 39– 16851; Docket No. FAA–2010–1301; Directorate Identifier 2010–SW–008–AD. Supersedes AD 2008–22–53, Amendment 39–15756 (73 FR 73165, December 2, 2008), Directorate ID 2008– SW–61–AD. Applicability

Model MD900 helicopters with a Vertical Stabilizer Control System (VSCS) tube adapter, part number (P/N) 500N7218–1, installed, certificated in any category.
Compliance

Required before further flight, unless accomplished previously.

To prevent loss of yaw control and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter, do the following:

(a) Turn ON both VSCS switches. (b) If installed, de-energize the autopilot (AP/SAS) as follows:

(1) Determine if the AP/SAS trim actuators are centered. If the AP/SAS trim actuators are not centered, center them.

(2) After the AP/SAS trim actuators are centered:

(i) Turn the AP/SAS MSTR switch to the OFF position.

(ii) Pull the following AP circuit breakers located on the A601 Essential Bus Circuit Breaker Panel, mounted in the cockpit console, and install a plastic cable tie on each circuit breaker to prevent accidental energizing of the circuit:

(A) AP/SAS CMPTR (CB28), (B) AP/SAS DISC (CB29), and (C) AP/SAS ACCEL (CB30).


### 69125 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 8, 2011 / Rules and Regulations

(3) Install a placard next to the AP Mode Select panel that contains the AP/SAS MSTR switch stating ‘‘AP/SAS DEACTIVATED.’’

(c) Install a placard on the instrument panel as close as practicable to the airspeed indicator that states:

‘‘AIRSPEED LIMIT 100 KIAS or VNE, WHICHEVER IS LESS. VFR FLIGHT ONLY, AUTOPILOT OFF.’’

(d) Make pen and ink changes or insert a copy of this AD into the Limitations section of the rotorcraft flight manual (RFM) to revise the limitations as follows: ‘‘VNE is limited to 100 KIAS or less as determined by referring to the airspeed VNE placard already installed on the helicopter. VFR Flight Only, Autopilot OFF.’’

(e) Make pen and ink changes or insert a copy of this AD into the Limitations section of the RFM to revise the emergency procedures as follows: ‘‘If you experience an anti-torque system malfunction, turn both VSCS switches to OFF during final approach for a run-on landing.’’

(f) Instead of complying with paragraphs (a) through (e) of this AD, you may replace both VSCS tube adapters, P/N 500N7218–1, with airworthy VSCS tube adapters, P/N 900C2010303–101. If you install VSCS tube adapters, P/N 900C2010303–101, and previously have complied with AD 2008–22– 53 (73 FR 73165, December 2, 2008), return the helicopter to its normal configuration by returning the switches and circuit breakers to their normal operating position, operationally testing the auto-pilot system, removing the two placards, and removing the revisions to the RFM pertaining to the airspeed limitation. Replacing both VSCS tube adapters, P/N 500N7218–1, with airworthy VSCS tube adapters, P/N 900C2010303–101, and returning the helicopter to its normal operating configuration constitutes terminating action for the requirements of this AD.

**Amendment of Restricted Areas R– 2104A, B, C, D and E; Huntsville, AL** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This action changes the using agency name for Restricted Area R–2104 A through E, Huntsville, AL to read ‘‘Commander, U.S. Army Garrison, Redstone, Redstone Arsenal, AL.’’ There are no changes to the boundaries; designated altitudes; time of designation; or activities conducted within the affected restricted areas.

**DATES :**  Effective date 0901 UTC, February 9, 2012.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Paul Gallant, Airspace, Regulations and ATC Procedures Group, Office of Airspace Services, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267–8783.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

The Base Realignment and Closure Commission directed the merger of the ‘‘Army Missile Command’’ and the ‘‘Aviation and Troop Command’’ to form the ‘‘Aviation and Missile Command.’’ As a result, the current using agency organizational name is no longer accurate. Therefore, the U.S. Army requested that the FAA change the name of the using agency for Restricted Areas R–2104A through E to ‘‘Commander, U.S. Army Garrison, Redstone Arsenal, AL.’’

The Rule

This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by amending the using agency name for Restricted Areas R–2104A, B, C, D and E, in Huntsville, AL, from ‘‘Commanding General, U.S. Army Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, AL’’ to ‘‘Commander, U.S. Army Garrison Redstone, Redstone Arsenal, AL.’’ This is an administrative change to update the title of the using agency. It does not affect the boundaries, designated altitudes, or activities conducted within the restricted area; therefore, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

Section 73.21 of Title 14, CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order 7400.8T, effective February 16, 2011.

The FAA has determined that this action 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 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, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as amends the description of Restricted Areas R–2104A, B, C, D and E, Huntsville, AL.

Environmental Review

The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 311d. This airspace action is an administrative change to the descriptions of the affected restricted area to update the using agency name. It does not alter the dimensions, altitudes, or times of designation of the airspace; therefore, it is not expected to cause any potentially significant
