evaluation of their own statutory authorities 

and missions. Individual agency decisions to 

permit (or not permit) an employee to serve 

in an official capacity necessarily involve a 

range of legal, policy, and managerial 

considerations, and nothing in this paragraph 

is intended to interfere with an agency’s 

discretion to assign official duties and limit 

such assignments as the agency deems 

appropriate.

Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca 

S.A. Turboshaft Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

all Turbomeca S.A. Makila 1A2 

turboshaft engines. That AD currently 

requires replacement of certain serial 

number (S/N) N2 sensor harnesses. This 

AD requires replacement of the same S/ 

N harnesses, and requires replacement 

of additional S/N N2 sensor harnesses. 

This AD was prompted by corrosion 

detected in affected N2 sensor 

harnesses. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent inadvertent activation of the 

65% N1 back up mode, resulting in N2 

speed fluctuation, significant power 

loss, and emergency landing of the 

helicopter. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 21, 

2013. 

We must receive any comments on 

this AD by April 22, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On November 9, 2011, we issued AD 

2011–24–08, Amendment 39–16872 (76 

FR 72091, November 22, 2011), for all 

Turbomeca S.A. Makila 1A2 turboshaft 

engines with certain part number (P/N) 

N2 sensor harnesses installed. That AD 

requires replacement of certain S/Ns of 

the affected N2 sensor harnesses, on the 

two engines of the helicopter. That AD 

resulted from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information issued by an 

aviation authority of another country to 

identify and correct an unsafe condition 

on an aviation product. We issued that 

AD to prevent inadvertent activation of 

the 65% N1 backup control mode, as a 

result of defective N2 sensor harness 

crimps, which could result in engine 

power loss and emergency landing of 

the helicopter. 

Actions Since AD Was Issued 

Since we issued AD 2011–24–08 (76 

FR 72091, November 22, 2011), 

Turbomeca S.A. has determined through 

investigation that additional S/Ns of the 

N2 sensor harness, P/N 0 301 52 001 0, 

are affected and require replacement. 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 6, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 14443 

The investigation detected corrosion in 

the harness inside the cable sheath, at 

the splices with the sensor coils. This 

corrosion is attributed to a 

manufacturing error. We are issuing this 

AD to include additional S/Ns of the N2 

sensor harness. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Turbomeca S.A. Alert 

Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. 

A298 77 0821, Version A, dated October 

9, 2012, and MSB No. 298 77 0817, 

Version B, dated August 23, 2011. This 

service information describes 

procedures for checking and replacing 

affected N2 sensor harnesses. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

exists and is likely to exist or develop 

on other products of the same type 

design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires replacement of 

certain S/Ns of N2 sensor harnesses, P/ 

N 0 301 52 001 0. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

There are no U.S. operators for this 

product. Therefore, we find that notice 

and opportunity for prior public 

comment are unnecessary and that good 

cause exists for making this amendment 

effective in less than 30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not provide you with notice and 

an opportunity to provide your 

comments before it becomes effective. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket Number FAA– 

2011–1037; Directorate Identifier 2011– 

NE–30–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this AD. We will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may amend this AD because of 

those comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

There are no engines installed on 

helicopters of U.S. registry that will be 

affected by this AD. Therefore, we 

estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators to be $0. 

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 

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), and 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, 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.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Lake Champlain, Swanton, VT 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing 

the drawbridge operation regulation that 

governs the operation of the New 

England Central Railroad Bridge across 

Missisquoi Bay, mile 105.6, at Swanton, 

Vermont, and removing the regulation 

for the SR78 highway bridge at mile 

105.9. The owner of the New England 

Central Railroad Bridge has requested to 

operate the bridge from a remote 

location, at St. Albans, Vermont. It is 

expected that this change to the 

regulations will provide relief to the 

bridge owner from crewing the bridge 

while continuing to meet the reasonable 

needs of navigation. 

DATES: This rule is effective April 5, 

2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Regulatory History and Information 

On November 9, 2012, we published 

a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) entitled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation 

Regulation; Lake Champlain, Swanton, 

VT’’ in the Federal Register (77 FR 

67319). We received no comments on 

the proposed rule. No public meeting 

was requested, and none was held. 

B. Basis and Purpose 

The New England Central Railroad 

Bridge, formerly the Central Vermont 

Railway Bridge, at mile 105.6, across 

Missisquoi Bay, at Swanton, Vermont, 

has a vertical clearance in the closed 

position that ranges between 9.5 feet 

and zero feet depending on the time of 

year and other conditions. The 

waterway users are predominantly 

seasonal recreational vessels. 

The existing drawbridge operation 

regulations are listed at 33 CFR 

117.993(c), which require the draw to 

operate as follows: From June 15 

through September 15, the draw shall 

open on signal, Monday through Friday 

between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and on 

Saturday, Sunday, Independence Day, 

and Labor Day, between 7 a.m. and 11 

p.m. At all other times, after at least a 

two hour notice is given. From 

September 16 through June 14, on signal 

after at least a twenty four hour notice 

is given. 

The Coast Guard received a request 

from the owner of the bridge, New 

England Central Railroad Inc., to change 

the drawbridge operation regulations to 

allow the bridge to be operated remotely 

from the New England Central Railroad 

Dispatcher’s Office located at St. 

Albans, Vermont. 

The bridge had been operated 

manually by hand crank since it was 

constructed in 1912. An operator would 

be dispatched to the bridge to manually 

close the draw to facilitate the passage 

of a train and then crank the draw back 

into the open position. 

The Federal Railroad Administration 

funded the motorization of the bridge to 

allow remote operation of the bridge by 

New England Central Railroad. As a 

result, in 2012, the operating system 

was modified by adding electric bridge 

opening motors to swing the draw open 

and closed, a standby electric generator 

to be used in the event of a power 

outage, local bridge operation controls 

installed at the tenders building on the 

bridge to be used to locally operate the 

draw, LED navigation lights, and
