**DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE**

**Office of the Secretary**

**2 CFR Part 1327**

**15 CFR Parts 14 and 24**

**[Docket No.: 150320288–5547–02]**

**RIN 0605–AA34**

**Federal Awarding Agency Regulatory Implementation of Office of**  **Management and Budget’s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost**  **Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards** 

**AGENCY :**  Office of the Secretary, Department of Commerce.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Department of Commerce publishes this rule to adopt as a final rule, without change, a joint interim final rule published with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for all Federal award-making agencies that implemented guidance on Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). This rule is necessary to incorporate into regulation and thus bring into effect the Uniform Guidance as required by OMB for the Department of Commerce.

**DATES :**  This rule is effective August 27,
2015.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  John Geisen at 202–482–0602 or jgeisen@ doc.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On December 19, 2014, OMB issued an interim final rule that implemented for all Federal award-making agencies the final guidance on Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). In that interim final rule, Federal awarding agencies, including the Department of Commerce, joined together to implement the Uniform Guidance in their respective chapters of title 2 of the CFR, and, where approved by OMB, implemented any exceptions to the Uniform Guidance by including the relevant language in their regulations. Where applicable, agencies provided additional language beyond that included in 2 CFR 200, consistent with their existing policy, to provide more detail with respect to how they intend to implement the policy, where appropriate.

In addition, the interim final rule made technical corrections to the Uniform Guidance, where needed, to ensure that particular language in the final guidance matched with the Council on Financial Assistance Reform’s intent and to avoid any erroneous implementation of the guidance. The interim final rule went into effect on December 26, 2014. The public comment period for the interim final rule closed on February 17, 2015.

The Department of Commerce publishes this final rule to adopt the provisions of the interim final rule. The Department did not request any exceptions to the Uniform Guidance and did not provide any language beyond what was included in 2 CFR 200. The Department did not receive any public comments on its regulations. Accordingly, the Department makes no changes to the interim final rule.

Classification Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule contains no collections of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Ch. 3506). Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. Regulatory Flexibility Act

Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ) are inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required and has not been prepared. Executive Order 12866
Pursuant to Executive Order 12866, OMB has determined this final rule to be not significant.

Barry Berkowitz, Director of Acquisition Management, U.S. Department of Commerce.

Accordingly, the interim rule amending 2 CFR part 1327, and 15 CFR parts 14 and 24, which was published at 79 FR 75867 on December 19, 2014, is adopted as a final rule without change.

**ACTION :**  Final rule; request for
comments.

**SUMMARY :**  We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015–10– 01 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC–8–400 series airplanes. AD 2015– 10–01 required inspection for correct assembly of the main landing gear (MLG) alternate extension system reservoir lid, and corrective action if necessary. This new AD revises the applicability. This AD was prompted by the discovery of two errors in the applicability of AD 2015–10–01. We are issuing this AD to, in the event of a failure of the primary MLG extension system, prevent failure of the alternate MLG extension system to fully extend the MLG into a down-and-locked position, which could result in collapse of both left-hand and right-hand MLG sides during touchdown.

**DATES :**  This AD becomes effective August 12, 2015.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Discussion

On May 1, 2015, we issued AD 2015– 10–01, Amendment 39–18156 (80 FR 32449, June 9, 2015). AD 2015–10–01 applied to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC–8–400 series airplanes. AD 2015–10–01 was prompted by reports of hydraulic fluid loss from the reservoir of the MLG alternate extension system. AD 2015–10–01 required inspection for correct assembly of the MLG alternate extension system reservoir lid, and corrective action if necessary. We issued AD 2015–10–01 to, in the event of a failure of the primary MLG extension system, prevent failure of the alternate MLG extension system to fully extend the MLG into a down-and-locked position, which could result in collapse of both left-hand and right-hand MLG sides during touchdown.

AD 2015–10–01, Amendment 39– 18156 (80 FR 32449, June 9, 2015), corresponds to Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information (MCAI) Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF– 2014–15, dated June 6, 2014. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2015–
2463.

Since we issued AD 2015–10–01, Amendment 39–18156 (80 FR 32449, June 9, 2015), we have discovered two inadvertent errors in the identification of the affected airplane models in the applicability of AD 2015–10–01. Paragraph (c) of AD 2015–10–01 omitted Bombardier Model DHC–8–400 airplanes and erroneously referred to a model (DHC–8–403) that is not identified on the U.S. type certificate. However, the serial numbers identified in paragraph (c) of AD 2015–10–01 were correct. We have also revised the estimated number of U.S.-registered airplanes affected by this AD. The number of airplanes is less than we originally estimated. FAA’s Determination and Requirements of This AD

This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

FAA’s Determination of the Effective Date

We are superseding AD 2015–10–01, Amendment 39–18156 (80 FR 32449, June 9, 2015), to correct two errors in the applicability in paragraph (c) of AD 2015–10–01, which inadvertently omitted a certain airplane model affected by the unsafe condition, and included a model that is not identified on the U.S. type certificate. We have made no other changes to the requirements published in AD 2015–10– 01. Also, there are currently no Bombardier Inc. Model DHC–8–400 airplanes (the omitted airplane model) on the U.S. Register. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are unnecessary.

Comments Invited

This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the **ADDRESSES** section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2015–2463; Directorate Identifier 2015–NM–086– 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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 84–29–34, dated May 9, 2013, with the attached Parker Service Bulletin 82910012–29–431, dated October 22, 2012. The service information describes procedures to inspect the lid assembly of the MLG alternate extension system reservoir for correct assembly and corrective actions. 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 this AD.


### 44831 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 144 / Tuesday, July 28, 2015 / Rules and Regulations

Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD affects 78 airplanes of U.S. registry.

The actions required by AD 2015–10– 01, Amendment 39–18156 (80 FR 32449, June 9, 2015), and retained in this AD take about 4 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that were required by AD 2015–10–01 is $340 per product.

In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will take about 2 work-hours and require parts costing $0, for a cost of $170 per product. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need this action.

The new requirements of this AD add no additional economic burden. 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 that 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. 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:

**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 certain The Boeing Company Model 747–100B, 747–100B SUD, 747– 200B, 747–200C, 747–200F, 747–300, 747–400, 747–400D, 747–400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2014 (79 FR 70799). The NPRM was prompted by reports of skin cracks and subsequent findings of hidden corrosion found on the mating surfaces between certain skin and stringers at circumferential skin splices. The NPRM proposed to require general visual inspections of the fuselage skin at certain lower circumferential splices for the presence of existing external doublers, repetitive inspections of the fuselage skin, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct hidden corrosion due to compromised fillet seals, which can result in skin cracking and consequent loss of capability to support limit loads.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014) and the FAA’s response to each comment.
Concurrence With NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014)

United Airlines stated that it concurs with the proposed requirements specified in the NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014).
