57658 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 183 / Wednesday, September 22, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

Section 9201.102(d) sets out the 

standard to be applied by the 

employee’s supervisor and the DAEO or 

alternate DAEO in acting on requests for 

prior approval of outside employment 

as broadly defined by 9201.102(b). 

Approval shall be granted only upon a 

determination that the outside 

employment is not expected to involve 

conduct prohibited by statute or Federal 

regulation, including 5 CFR part 2635. 

Section 9201.102(e) provides that the 

SIGIR DAEO or alternate DAEO can 

issue instructions or manual issuances 

governing the submission of requests for 

approval of outside employment, which 

may exempt categories of employment 

from the prior approval requirement of 

this section based on a determination 

that employment within those 

categories would generally be approved 

and is not likely to involve conduct 

prohibited by statute or Federal 

regulation, including 5 CFR part 2635. 

The instructions or issuances may 

include examples of outside 

employment that are permissible or 

impermissible consistent with this part 

and 5 CFR part 2635. 

Administrative Procedure Act 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b) the SIGIR 

found good cause existed for waiving 

the general notice of proposed 

rulemaking and opportunity for public 

comment as to the interim rule. Notice 

and comment before the effective date 

were waived because the rule concerns 

matters of agency organization, practice 

and procedure. Written comments were 

invited to be submitted prior to August 

24, 2010, 60 days after the publication 

of the interim rule; however no 

comments were received. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 12988 

Because this rule relates to SIGIR 

personnel, it is exempt from the 

provisions of Executive Orders Nos. 

12866 and 12988. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

SIGIR has determined, pursuant to the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 

chapter 6, that this rulemaking will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

because it primarily affects SIGIR 

employees. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 

U.S.C. chapter 35, does not apply 

because this rulemaking does not 

contain information collection 

requirements subject to the approval of 

the Office of Management and Budget. 

Congressional Review Act 

SIGIR has determined that this rule is 

not a rule as defined in 5 U.S.C. 804, 

and thus, does not require review by 

Congress. 

List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 9201 

Conflict of interest, Government 

employees. 

■ Accordingly, for the reasons set forth 

in the preamble, the Special Inspector 

General for Iraq Reconstruction, with 

the concurrence of the Office of 

Government Ethics, is adopting the 

interim rule published at 75 FR 35957 

on June 24, 2010, as final without 

change.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In a final rule that was published in 

the Federal Register on December 9, 

2009 (74 FR 64998-65013, Docket 

No. APHIS-2006-0093), and effective on 

February 1, 2010, we amended the 

National Veterinary Accreditation 

Program (NVAP) regulations, adding 

new provisions and reorganizing others. 

As part of the reorganization, we 

redesignated what had been § 161.3, 

‘‘Standards for performing accredited 

duties,’’ as § 161.4. However, we 

neglected to update two references to 

§ 161.3 elsewhere in the NVAP 

regulations, specifically in § 162.11 and 

paragraph (a) of § 162.12. In addition, 

paragraph (a) of 9 CFR 91.3, which 

discusses general export requirements 

for livestock, refers to certification of 

test results in accordance with 

paragraph (k) of § 161.3. This document 

corrects those citations to refer instead 

to § 161.4.

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 39 

[Docket No. FAA–2010–0426; Directorate 

Identifier 2009–SW–34–AD; Amendment 39–

Airworthiness Directives Eurocopter 

France (ECF) Model SA–365N1, AS– 

365N2, AS 365 N3, EC 155B, and 

EC155B1 Helicopters 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

specified ECF model helicopters. This 

AD results from a mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) AD 

issued by the aviation authority of the 

European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA). The MCAI AD reports the 

separation and loss of a stainless steel 

ring (75 millimeter (mm) in diameter) 

from a tail rotor blade (blade) sleeve 

resulting in severe, high-frequency 

vibrations, which can lead to damage to 

the fenestron blades, loss of yaw 

control, and subsequent loss of control 

of the helicopter. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective on 

October 27, 2010. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications is approved by the 

Director of the Federal Register as of 

October 27, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD 

docket on the Internet at http:// 

regulations.gov or in person at the 

Docket Operations office, U.S. 

Department of Transportation, M–30, 

West Building Ground Floor, Room 

W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., 

Washington, DC between 9 a.m. and 

5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified ECF model 

helicopters on April 14, 2010. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on April 22, 2010 (75 FR 

20931). That NPRM proposed: 

• For the ECF Model SA–365N1, AS– 

365N2, and AS 365 N3 helicopters, 

within 50 hours time-in-service (TIS), 

and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 

10 hours TIS, inspecting each blade of 

the fenestron tail rotor to determine 

whether there has been any outward 

slippage (toward the shroud) of the 

stainless steel ring that is around the 

sleeve of each blade where the blade 

enters the fenestron hub. 

• For the ECF Model EC 155B or B1 

helicopters, within 50 hours TIS, and 

thereafter at intervals not to exceed 15 

hours TIS, inspecting each blade for 

slippage of the fenestron tail rotor to 

determine whether there has been any 

outward slippage (toward the shroud) of 

the stainless steel ring that is around the 

sleeve of each blade where the blade 

enters the fenestron hub. 

• If the stainless steel ring has slipped 

outward, before further flight, replacing 

the blade with an airworthy blade. 

Comments 

By publishing the NPRM, we gave the 

public an opportunity to participate in 

developing this AD. We received no 

comment on the NPRM or on our 

determination of the cost to the public; 

however, since the issuance of the 

NPRM, the average labor rate has 

increased from $80 per work hour to 

$85 per work hour, resulting in an 

increase of $41 in costs of compliance. 

We have determined that this change 

does not significantly increase the 

economic burden on any AD operator 

nor does it increase the scope of the AD. 

Therefore, based on our review and 

evaluation of the available data, we have 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

Related Service Information 

Eurocopter has issued Alert Service 

Bulletin No. 05A011 for the Model EC 

155B and B1 helicopters and No. 

05.00.49 for the Model SA–365N1, AS– 

365N2, and AS 365 N3 helicopters. Both 

service bulletins are dated March 1, 

2006. The service information specifies 

checking the blade sleeve for slippage of 

the stainless steel ring (75 mm in 

diameter) and replacing the blade if the 

stainless steel ring has slipped. The 

actions described in the MCAI AD are 

intended to correct the same unsafe 

condition as that identified in the 

service information. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI AD 

We refer to flying hours as hours timein-service. Also, we use ‘‘inspect’’ rather 

than ‘‘check’’ to describe the actions 

required by this AD. We use a different 

initial compliance time. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

about 33 helicopters of U.S. registry. We 

also estimate that it will take about 15 

minutes per helicopter to inspect for 

slippage of the stainless steel ring of the 

blade sleeve. The average labor rate is 

$85 per work-hour. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of the AD 

on U.S. operators is $701, assuming 

none of the blades are replaced. 

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
