Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 91 / Thursday, May 11, 1995 / Rules and Regulations 25125

preceded by notice and an opportunity

for public comment, comments are

invited on this rule. Interested persons

are invited to comment on this rule by

submitting such written data, views, or

arguments as they may desire.

Communications should identify the

Rules Docket number and be submitted

in triplicate to the address specified

under the caption ADDRESSES. All

communications received on or before

the closing date for comments will be

considered, and this rule may be

amended in light of the comments

received. Factual information that

supports the commenter’s ideas and

suggestions is extremely helpful in

evaluating the effectiveness of the AD

action and determining whether

additional rulemaking action would be

needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this AD

will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

postcard on which the following

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to

Docket No. 95–SW–03–AD.’’ The

postcard will be date stamped and

returned to the commenter.

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects 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. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this final rule does

not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is an emergency regulation

that must be issued immediately to

correct an unsafe condition in aircraft,

and that it is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866. It has been determined

further that this action involves an

emergency regulation under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979). If it is

determined that this emergency

regulation otherwise would be

significant under DOT Regulatory

Policies and Procedures, a final

regulatory evaluation will be prepared

and placed in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it, if filed, may be obtained from the

Rules Docket at the location provided

under the caption ADDRESSES.

Adoption of the Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration amends part 39 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 39) as follows:

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS

DIRECTIVES

1. The authority citation for part 39

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. App. 1354(a), 1421

and 1423; 49 U.S.C. 106(g); and 14 CFR

11.89.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding a new airworthiness directive to

read as follows:

95–10–08 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

FORESTRY; ERICKSON AIR-CRANE

CO.; GARLICK HELICOPTERS;

HAWKINS AND POWERS AVIATION,

INC.; INTERNATIONAL HELICOPTERS,

INC.; SMITH HELICOPTERS;

WEST COAST FABRICATIONS;

WESTERN INTERNATIONAL

AVIATION, INC.; WILLIAMS

HELICOPTER TECHNOLOGY, INC.;

AND, UNC HELICOPTERS: Amendment

39–9225. Docket No. 95–SW–03–AD.

Applicability: Model UH–1A, UH–1B, UH–

1E, UH–1F, UH–1H, UH–1L, UH–1P, TH–1F,

and TH–1L helicopters, with a 42-degree tail

rotor drive gearbox assembly (42-degree

gearbox), part number (P/N) 204–040–003–

023, or –037, installed, certificated in the

restricted category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each helicopter

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

helicopters that have been modified, altered,

or repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must use the authority

provided in paragraph (e) to request approval

from the FAA. This approval may address

either no action, if the current configuration

eliminates the unsafe condition, or different

actions necessary to address the unsafe

condition described in this AD. Such a

request should include an assessment of the

effect of the changed configuration on the

unsafe condition addressed by this AD. In no

case does the presence of any modification,

alteration, or repair remove any helicopter

from the applicability of this AD.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent failure of the 42-degree gearbox,

loss of tail rotor control, and subsequent loss

of control of the helicopter, accomplish the

following:

(a) Before further flight, after the effective

date of this AD, verify that the tail rotor

control system is rigged in accordance with

the applicable maintenance manual.

(b) Before further flight, and thereafter at

intervals not to exceed 400 torque events,

disassemble the affected 42-degree gearbox

and inspect for cracks at the roots of the gear

teeth on the pinion, P/N 204–040–500–007 or

–009, and gear, P/N 204–040–500–008 or

–010, using a fluorescent penetrant

inspection method in accordance with the

applicable maintenance manual. Only post

emulsified fluorescent penetrant inspection

materials (Type I, Method B or D, Sensitivity

Level 3 or greater) are approved for use. A

torque event is defined as a takeoff or a lift

(internal or external).

(c) If any crack is found at the roots of the

gear teeth on the pinion or gear, replace the

pinion or gear with an airworthy pinion or

gear in accordance with the applicable

maintenance manual.

(d) Create a component history card for the

42-degree gearbox. Record the number of

torque events on a daily basis.

(e) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used when approved by the Manager,

Rotorcraft Certification Office, FAA,

Rotorcraft Directorate. Operators shall submit

their requests through an FAA Principal

Maintenance Inspector, who may concur or

comment and then send it to the Manager,

Rotorcraft Certification Office.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Rotorcraft Certification

Office.

(f) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the helicopter

to a location where the requirements of this

AD can be accomplished.

(g) This amendment becomes effective on

May 26, 1995.

Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 4,

1995.

ACTION: Final rule.
25126 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 91 / Thursday, May 11, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes,

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) for operations at certain

airports. These regulatory actions are

needed because of the adoption of new

or revised criteria, or because of changes

occurring in the National Airspace

System, such as the commissioning of

new navigational facilities, addition of

new obstacles, or changes in air traffic

requirements. These changes are

designed to provide safe and efficient

use of the navigable airspace and to

promote safe flight operations under

instrument flight rules at the affected

airports.

DATES: An effective date for each SIAP

is specified in the amendatory

provisions.

Incorporation by reference-approved

by the Director of the Federal Register

on December 31, 1980, and reapproved

as of January 1, 1982.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters

incorporated by reference in the

amendment is as follows:

For Examination

1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA

Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591;

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

region in which the affected airport is

located; or

3. The Flight Inspection Area Office

which originated the SIAP.

For Purchase

Individual SIAP copies may be

obtained from:

1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA–

200), FAA Headquarters Building, 800

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete

regulatory description of each SIAP is

contained in official FAA form

documents which are incorporated by

reference in this amendment under 5

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and § 97.20

of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(FAR). The applicable FAA Forms are

identified as FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–

4, and 8260–5. Materials incorporated

by reference are available for

examination or purchase as stated

above.

The large number of SIAPs, their

complex nature, and the need for a

special format make their verbatim

publication in the Federal Register

expensive and impractical. Further,

airmen do not use the regulatory text of

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic

depiction on charts printed by

publishers of aeronautical materials.

Thus, the advantages of incorporation

by reference are realized and

publication of the complete description

of each SIAP contained in FAA form

documents is unnecessary. The

provisions of this amendment state the

affected CFR (and FAR) sections, with

the types and effective dates of the

SIAPs. This amendment also identifies

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.

The Rule

This amendment to part 97 is effective

upon publication of each separate SIAP

as contained in the transmittal. Some

SIAP amendments may have been

previously issued by the FAA in a

National Flight Data Center (FDC)

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an

emergency action of immediate flight

safety relating directly to published

aeronautical charts. The circumstances

which created the need for some SIAP

amendments may require making them

effective in less than 30 days. For the

remaining SIAPs, an effective date at

least 30 days after publication is

provided.

Further, the SIAPs contained in this

amendment are based on the criteria

contained in the U.S. Standard for

Terminal Instrument Approach

Procedures (TERPS). In developing

these SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were

applied to the conditions existing or

anticipated at the affected airports.

Because of the close and immediate

relationship between these SIAPs and

safety in air commerce, I find that notice

and public procedure before adopting

these SIAPs are impracticable and

contrary to the public interest and,

where applicable, that good cause exists

for making some SIAPs effective in less

than 30 days.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. It, therefore—(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)

does not warrant preparation of a

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. For the same

reason, the FAA certifies that this

amendment will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete

regulatory description on each SIAP is

contained in the appropriate FAA Form

8260 and the National Flight Data

Center (FDC) /Permanent (P) Notices to

Airmen (NOTAM) which are

incorporated by reference in the

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of the Federal

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.

The Rule

This amendment to part 97 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 97) establishes, amends, suspends,

or revokes SIAPs. For safety and

timeliness of change considerations, this

amendment incorporates only specific

changes contained in the content of the

following FDC/P NOTAM for each

SIAP. The SIAP information in some

previously designated FDC/Temporary

(FDC/T) NOTAMs is of such duration as

to be permanent. With conversion to

FDC/P NOTAMs, the respective FDC/T

NOTAMs have been cancelled.

The FDC/P NOTAMs for the SIAPs

contained in this amendment are based

on the criteria contained in the U.S.

Standard for Terminal Instrument

Approach Procedures (TERPS). In

developing these charge changes to

SIAPs by FDC/P NOTAMs, the TERPS

criteria were applied to only these

specific conditions existing at the
