66252 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 5, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

prevent providers from determining, at 

the time the required disclosures must 

be provided, the exact exchange rate on 

the date of availability for a transfer 

involving a currency exchange. 

The Final Rule explains that a 

remittance transfer provider may rely on 

this list, unless the provider has 

information that a country’s laws or the 

method by which transactions are 

conducted in that country permits a 

determination of the exact disclosure 

amount. See 12 CFR 1005.32(b)(1)(ii) 

and comment 32(b)(1)–2 (containing 

examples of when this exception does 

and does not apply). For example, for 

transfers to Aruba and Brazil, the 

Bureau believes that a remittance 

transfer provider can only rely on the 

list when the sender funds a transfer in 

a currency other than the local currency 

(i.e., not the Aruban florin and the 

Brazilian real, respectively), and the 

transfer is exchanged into the local 

currency in the foreign country as 

opposed to being exchanged in the 

United States. The Bureau believes that 

exception is limited to such scenarios 

because under Brazil’s and Aruba’s laws 

the exchange rate is set when a transfer 

is picked up only where the transfer is 

funded in a foreign currency and is then 

exchanged into the local currency in 

Brazil or Aruba, respectively. In 

addition to the Bureau’s list, the Final 

Rule permits providers to make their 

own determinations that the laws of 

other recipient countries or the method 

of sending transfers to recipient 

countries, which are not on the list, do 

not permit a determination of exact 

amounts. See 12 CFR 1005.32(b)(1)(i). 

This list is subject to change. As 

applicable, the Bureau will publish 

revisions to the list on its Web site and 

in the Federal Register. To facilitate 

compliance when the Final Rule goes 

into effect, the Bureau will not remove 

any countries on this version of the list 

before July 1, 2014. Furthermore, if the 

Bureau believes that it may be 

appropriate to remove a country or area 

from the list, the Bureau will provide 

90-days advance notice. 

The Bureau will next review the list 

in spring 2014. To have your 

suggestions or input considered for the 

Bureau’s next review, please send your 

feedback on whether the Bureau should 

make changes to the list and any 

supporting materials (in English) on or

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bell Model 206B and 206L helicopters. 

This AD requires installing a placard 

beneath the engine power dual 

tachometer and revising the operating 

limitations section of the rotorcraft 

flight manual (RFM). This AD was 

prompted by several incidents of third 

stage engine turbine wheel failures, 

which were caused by excessive 

vibrations at certain engine speeds 

during steady-state operations. These 

actions are intended to alert pilots to 

avoid certain engine speeds during 

steady-state operations, prevent failure 

of the third stage engine turbine, engine 

power loss, and subsequent loss of 

control of the helicopter. 

DATES: This AD is effective December 

10, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain document listed in this AD 

as of December 10, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On June 7, 2013, at 78 FR 34280, the 

Federal Register published our notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which 

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 by 

adding an AD that would apply to Bell 

Model 206B helicopters, serial number 

(S/N) 004 through 4675, including 

helicopters converted from Model 206A 

and Model 206L helicopters, S/N 45001 

through 45153, and 46601 through 

46617. The NPRM proposed to require 

installing a placard on the instrument 

panel below the NR/N2 dual tachometer 

and revising the Operating Limitations 

section of the Model 206B RFM and 

206L RFM to limit steady-state 

operation between speeds of 75% and 

88%. The proposed requirements were 

intended to alert pilots to avoid certain 

engine speeds during steady-state 

operations, prevent failure of the third 

stage engine turbine, engine power loss, 

and subsequent loss of control of the 

helicopter. 

The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 

CF–2007–13R2, dated November 10, 

2009, issued by Transport Canada Civil 

Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation 

authority for Canada. TCCA issued AD 

No. CF–2007–13R2 to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Model 206B 

(including those converted from Model 

206A) and 206L helicopters. TCCA 

advises of several failures of third stage 

turbine wheels used in Rolls Royce 250– 

C20. According to TCCA, Rolls Royce 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 5, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 66253 

has determined that detrimental 

vibrations can occur within a particular 

range of turbine speeds, and may be a 

contributing factor to these failures. Bell 

has revised the RFM and has provided 

a corresponding decal to inform pilots 

to avoid steady-state operations between 

75% and 88% turbine speeds. 

The TCCA AD requires amending the 

RFMs, advising pilots of the change, and 

installing a decal as described in Bell 

Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 206– 

07–115, Revision C, dated February 4, 

2009, for Model 206B helicopters (ASB 

206–07–115) and Bell ASB No. 206L– 

07–146, Revision B, dated March 3, 

2009, for Model 206L helicopters (ASB 

206L–07–146). 

Comments 

After our NPRM (78 FR 34280, June 

7, 2013) was published, we received 

comments from one commenter. 

Request 

Rolls-Royce Corporation requested 

that in addition to requiring the placard 

on the instrument panel, we allow 

operators the option to temporarily 

mark the Nr/Np gauge with colored tape, 

to provide a more visual aide to the 

pilot for the speed avoidance zone. 

We disagree. Marking the glass 

surface of the gauge can create parallax 

issues when viewing the avoidance 

ranges on the gauge, resulting in 

erroneous readings. 

FAA’s Determination 

These helicopters have been approved 

by the aviation authority of Canada and 

are approved for operation in the United 

States. Pursuant to our bilateral 

agreement with Canada, TCCA, its 

technical representative, has notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

TCCA AD. We are issuing this AD 

because we evaluated all information 

provided by TCCA, reviewed the 

relevant information, considered the 

comment received, and determined the 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other helicopters of 

the same type design and that air safety 

and the public interest require adopting 

the AD requirements as proposed. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

TCCA AD 

The TCCA AD requires compliance 

within 10 calendar days, while this AD 

requires compliance within 30 days. 

Related Service Information 

Bell has issued ASB 206–07–115 and 

ASB 206L–07–146, which contain 

procedures for installing a placard on 

the instrument panel below the main 

rotor RPM (Nr)/power turbine RPM (N2) 

dual tachometer and for inserting the 

RFM changes into the flight manual. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

970 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Based 

on an average labor rate of $85 per hour, 

we estimate that operators will incur the 

following costs in order to comply with 

this AD. Amending the RFM will 

require about 0.5 work-hour, for a cost 

per helicopter of about $43 and a cost 

to U.S. operators of $41,710. Installing 

the decal will require about 0.2 workhour and required parts will cost $20, 

for a cost per helicopter of $37 and a 

cost to U.S. operators of $35,890. Based 

on these estimates, the total cost of this 

AD is $80 per helicopter and $77,600 for 

the U.S. operator fleet. 

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 

helicopters 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); 

(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. 

We prepared an economic evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Model 747–400 and –400D series 

airplanes. AD 2009–10–06 required 

repetitive inspections to detect cracks in 

the floor panel attachment fastener 

holes of the Section 41 upper deck floor 

beam upper chords, and corrective 

actions if necessary; and repetitive postrepair and post-modification 

inspections, and corrective actions if 

necessary. This new AD adds repetitive 

inspections of Section 44 upper deck 

floor beam upper chords, and corrective 

actions if necessary; repetitive postrepair and post-modification 

inspections, and corrective actions if 

necessary; and replacement of the upper 

deck floor beam upper chords. This AD 

was prompted by an evaluation by the 

design approval holder (DAH) 

indicating that certain upper chords of 

the upper deck floor beam are subject to 

widespread fatigue damage (WFD). We 

are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

fatigue cracking in certain upper chords 

of the upper deck floor beam, which 

could become large and cause the floor 

beams to become severed and result in 

rapid decompression or reduced 

controllability of the airplane.
