various levels of government. Therefore,

it is determined that this proposal

would not have federalism implications

under Executive Order 13132.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this proposed regulation (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); and (3) if

promulgated, 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. You can get a copy of

the draft regulatory evaluation prepared

for this action from the Rules Docket. A

copy of it may be obtained by contacting

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, under the authority

delegated to me by the Administrator,

the Federal Aviation Administration

proposes to amend 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. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding

the following new airworthiness

directive:

Robinson Helicopter Company: Docket No.

2000–SW–67–AD.

Applicability: Model R44 helicopters, with

horizontal stabilizer assembly (assembly),

part number (P/N) C044–1; horizontal

stabilizer serial number (S/N) 0009 through

0224, except S/N 0018, 0090, 0094, 0111,

0129, 0144, 0161, 0178, 0201, and 0223,

installed, certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each helicopter

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

otherwise 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 request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent a crack through a vertical-tohorizontal stabilizer attach channel

(channel), which can cause separation of the

stabilizers and subsequent loss of control of

the helicopter, accomplish the following:

(a) Before accumulating 2200 hours timein-service (TIS) on the assembly:

(1) Remove the vertical stabilizer to inspect

the nutplate on channels, P/N D283–1 and

–2.

(2) If the nutplates are P/N MS21086L4, no

further action is required by this AD.

(3) If the nutplates are P/N NAS697A4,

replace the channels with airworthy

channels, P/N D296–1 or –2.

Note 2: Robinson Helicopter Company

Service Bulletin SB–39, dated September 12,

2000, pertains to the subject of this AD.

(b) This AD revises the Limitations section

of the maintenance manual by establishing a

retirement life of 2200 hours TIS for

assembly, P/N CO44–1, with channels, P/N

D283–1 or –2, with nutplates, P/N

NAS697A4, installed.

(c) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager, Los

Angeles Aircraft Certification Office

(LAACO), FAA. Operators shall submit their

requests through an FAA Principal

Maintenance Inspector, who may concur or

comment and then send it to the Manager,

LAACO.

Note 3: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the LAACO.

(d) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with 14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199

to operate the helicopter to a location where

the requirements of this AD can be

accomplished.

Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on June 12,

2001.

Compounds (VOCs) for Aerospace

Operations and Miscellaneous VOC

Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revisions submitted by the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This

action proposes to approve new volatile

organic compound (VOC) regulations for

the aerospace industry, and to add new

definitions for terms used in regulations

containing standards for VOC sources.

This action also proposes to modify the

approval process for the use of

alternative compliance methods for

certain VOC control requirements. In

the Final Rules section of this Federal

Register, EPA is approving the State’s

SIP submittal as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

submittal and anticipates no adverse

comment. A more detailed description

of the state submittal and EPA’s

evaluation are included in a Technical

Support Document (TSD) prepared in

support of this rulemaking action. A

copy of the TSD is available, upon

request, from the EPA Regional Office

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this

document. If no adverse comments are

received in response to this action, no

further activity is contemplated. If EPA

receives adverse comments, the direct

final rule will be withdrawn and all

public comments received will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. EPA will

not institute a second comment period.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

Please note that if EPA receives adverse

comment on an amendment, paragraph,

or section of this rule and if that

provision may be severed from the

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt

as final those provisions of the rule that

are not the subject of an adverse

comment.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing by July 25, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to David Arnold, Chief,

Air Quality Planning and Information

Services Branch, Mailcode 3AP21, U.S.
