AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

the products listed above. This AD 

results from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued 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 stabilizer elevator inner 

hinges of seven L 23 SUPERBLANI ́K 

sailplanes have been detected during an 

inspection. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in no longer retaining the elevator in 

place and in jamming of the Pilot’s elevator 

control system, and subsequent loss of 

elevator control. 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

August 30, 2010. 

As of April 26, 2010 (75 FR 17295, 

April 6, 2010), the Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of Aircraft 

Industries, a.s. Mandatory Bulletin MB 

No.: L23/052a, dated March 2, 2010, 

listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on April 29, 2010 (75 FR 

22543), and proposed to supersede AD 

2010–08–01, Amendment 39–16256 (75 

FR 17295; April 6, 2010). That NPRM 

proposed to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products. The MCAI 

states that: 

Cracks on the stabilizer elevator inner 

hinges of seven L 23 SUPERBLANI ́K 

sailplanes have been detected during an 

inspection. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in no longer retaining the elevator in 

place and in jamming of the Pilot’s elevator 

control system, and subsequent loss of 

elevator control. 

For the reasons stated above, this 

Emergency AD requires the inspection of the 

elevator inner hinges, and the 

accomplishment of the relevant corrective 

actions as necessary. 

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 available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. 

Any such differences are highlighted in 

a Note within the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

103 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 2 workhours 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 this AD to the U.S. operators 

to be $17,510 or $170 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 4 work-hours and require parts 

costing $500, for a cost of $840 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

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 

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 a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD Docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; 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.

with an improved design Eaton/ 

Aeroquip P/N NH1009399–10 or 

Lycoming P/N 40D23255–340M. In the 

Summary and Discussion sections of the 

published AD, we incorrectly stated that 

the AD requires replacing any spotwelded, V-band exhaust coupling with 

a riveted, V-band exhaust coupling 

instead of stating the specific P/N to be 

replaced. Also, in the Cost of 

Compliance section, we incorrectly 

stated that Model PA–32R–301T 

airplanes, instead of Model PA–46–350P 

airplanes, are equipped with two of the 

affected V-band clamps. We are issuing 

this document to help eliminate any 

confusion that this AD may have 

created. 

DATES: The effective date of this

improved design Eaton/Aeroquip P/N 

NH1009399–10 or Lycoming P/N 

40D23255–340M. 

In the published AD, we incorrectly 

stated in the the Summary and 

Discussion sections that the AD requires 

replacing any spot-welded, V-band 

exhaust coupling with a riveted, V-band 

exhaust coupling instead of stating the 

specific P/N to be replaced. Also, in the 

Cost of Compliance section, we 

incorrectly stated which of the affected 

model airplanes are equipped with two 

of the affected V-band clamps. 

Need for the Correction 

This correction is needed to help 

eliminate any confusion that this AD 

may have created. 

Correction of Publication 

Accordingly, the publication of June 

23, 2010 (75 FR 35619), of Amendment 

39–16338; AD 2010–13–07, which was 

the subject of FR Doc. 2010–14991, is 

corrected as follows: 

On page 35619, under the heading 

‘‘Summary,’’ in line 5, change the word 

‘‘any’’ to ‘‘specific.’’ 

On page 35620, under the heading 

‘‘Discussion,’’ in line 11, change the
