Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 88 / Friday, May 6, 2022 / Proposed Rules 27037 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would 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,

Discussion 

The FAA issued AD 2015–07–05, 

Amendment 39–18133 (80 FR 19871, 

April 14, 2015) (AD 2015–07–05), for all 

BAE Systems (Operations) Limited 

Model BAe 146 series airplanes and 

Model Avro 146–RJ series airplanes. AD 

2015–07–05 requires repetitive external 

eddy current inspections on the aft skin 

lap joints of the rear fuselage for 

cracking, corrosion, and other defects, 

and repair if necessary. AD 2015–07–05 

resulted from a report of a 

pressurization problem on an airplane 

during climb-out; a subsequent 

investigation showed a crack in the 

fuselage skin. The FAA issued AD 

2015–07–05 to address cracking, 

corrosion, and other defects, which 

could affect the structural integrity of 

the airplane. 

Actions Since AD 2015–07–05 Was 

Issued 

Since the FAA issued AD 2015–07– 

05, it has been determined that adding 

repetitive LFEC inspections for any 

cracking, corrosion, and other defects in 

the aft skin lap joints of the rear fuselage 

and in the fuselage skin panels are 

necessary. The compliance times for 

inspection of certain stringers must also 

be revised. 

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), 

which is the aviation authority for the 

United Kingdom, has issued CAA AD 

G–2021–0008, dated September 8, 2021 

(also referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or the MCAI), to correct an 

unsafe condition for all BAE Systems 

(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 

series airplanes and Model Avro 146–RJ 

series airplanes. You may examine the 

MCAI in the AD docket on the internet 

at https://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2022–0508. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a report of a pressurization problem on 

an airplane during climb-out; a 

subsequent investigation showed a 

crack in the fuselage skin; and that 

repetitive LFEC inspections in the rear 

fuselage aft skin lap joints and in the 

fuselage skin panels are necessary. 

Certain compliance times also must be 

revised. The FAA is proposing this AD 

to address cracking, corrosion, and other 

defects on the rear fuselage aft skin 

joints and frames and in the fuselage 

panels, which could affect the structural 

integrity of the airplane. See the MCAI 

for additional background information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

BAE Systems (Operations) Limited 

has issued Inspection Service Bulletin 

53–239, including Appendix 2, Revision 

5, and including Appendix 3, Revision 

1, dated March 2, 2017. This service 

information describes procedures for 

repetitive external eddy current and 

LFEC inspections on the aft skin lap 


JSPEARS on DSK121TN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 88 / Friday, May 6, 2022 / Proposed Rules 27039 

joints of the rear fuselage and in the 

fuselage skin panels, for any cracking, 

corrosion, and other defects (e.g., 

surface damage and spot displacement); 

and repair if necessary. 

This proposed AD would also require 

BAE Systems (Operations) Limited 

Inspection Service Bulletin 53–239, 

including Appendix 2, Revision 3, dated 

May 7, 2014, which the Director of the 

Federal Register approved for 

incorporation by reference as of May 19, 

2015 (80 FR 19871, April 14, 2015). 

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. 

FAA’s Determination 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with the State 

of Design Authority, the FAA has been 

notified of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and service 

information referenced above. The FAA 

is proposing this AD because the FAA 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM 

This proposed AD would retain all of 

the requirements of AD 2015–07–05, 

with certain revised compliance times. 

This proposed AD would also require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD affects 20 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators 

Retained actions from AD 

2015-07-05.

8 work-hours × $85 per hour 

= $680 per inspection cycle.

$0 $680 per inspection cycle ...... $13,600 per inspection cycle. 

New proposed actions ........... 5 work-hours × $85 per hour 

= $425.

0 $425 ....................................... $8,500 per inspection cycle. 

The FAA has received no definitive 

data on which to base the cost estimates 

for the repairs specified in this proposed 

AD. 

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. 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(3) 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.

Senior Community Service 

Employment Program Conforming 

Changes to the Supporting Older 

Americans Act of 2020—Updated 

Guidance on Priority of Service, 

Durational Limits, and State Plan 

Submissions 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: On February 14, 2022, the 

Department of Labor (Department) 

concurrently published both a direct 

final rule (DFR) and proposed rule 

putting forth guidance on priority 

service, durational limits, and State Plan 

submissions regarding a State’s Senior 

Community Service Employment 

Program, or SCSEP. Because the 

Department did not receive any 

significant adverse comments that were 

within the scope of the rulemaking, the 

Department is withdrawing the 

proposed rule and is implementing the 

DFR. 

DATES: As of May 6, 2022, the proposed 

rule published at 87 FR 8218 on 

February 14, 2022, is withdrawn. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steven Rietzke, Chief, Division of 

National Programs, Tools and Technical 

Assistance, Office of Workforce 

Investment, at 202–693–3980 (this is not 

a toll-free number). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

proposed rule, the Department stated 

that, if no significant adverse comments 

were received by March 16, 2022 (the 

end of the public comment period), the 

Department would publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the proposed 

rule was being withdrawn and the DFR 

would become effective. As the 

Department received no significant 

adverse comments within the scope of 

the rulemaking prior to the close of the 

comment period, the Department is 

withdrawing the proposed rule and 

implementing the DFR, which took 

effect April 15, 2022, a notice of which 

has been published in the Federal 

Register concurrent with this 

withdrawal. 

The Department received seven 

comments on this rulemaking. Several 

of these comments were supportive of 

the provisions this rulemaking proposed 

to implement. While other comments 

could be characterized as negative or 

adverse, none of those comments were 

significant or within the scope of this 

rulemaking. One commenter was 

opposed to the time limit; however, that 

time limit is set forth in the Supporting 

Older Americans Act of 2020, and is, 

therefore, a statutory requirement 

beyond the purview of the rulemaking. 

The remaining comments were outside 

the scope of the rulemaking. The 

comments are publicly available as part 

of the rulemaking docket at https://

www.regulations.gov/docket/ETA-2022- 

0002/comments. 

The Department has determined that 

none of the negative or adverse 

comments are significant and within the 

scope of the rulemaking. Therefore, the 

proposed rule published at 87 FR 8186 

on February 14, 2022, is withdrawn.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment
