receipt. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

■ Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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 AD: 

2010–20–06 GROB-WERKE (Type 

Certificate Previously Held by 

BURKHART GROB Luft- und 

Raumfahrt): Amendment 39–16440; 

Docket No. FAA–2010–0260; Directorate 

Identifier 2010–CE–015–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective November 1, 2010. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to GROB-WERKE 

(Type Certificate Previously Held by 

BURKHART GROB Luft- und Raumfahrt) 

Models G115C, G115D, and G115D2 

airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in 

any category. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 52: Doors. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

The manufacturer has received a report of 

a failed canopy jettison test, during a regular 

maintenance check. The investigation 

revealed that a cable shroud of the jettison 

system protruded the canopy structure, 

which probably caused the malfunction. 

Inability to jettison the canopy in flight 

would prevent evacuation of the aeroplane in 

case of need. 

For the reason stated above, this AD 

mandates an additional one time canopy 

jettison test and repair if necessary. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions: 

(1) Before further flight after November 1, 

2010 (the effective date of this AD), fabricate 

a placard (using at least 1/8-inch letters) with 

the following words and install the placard 

on the instrument panel within the pilot’s 

clear view: ‘‘AEROBATIC FLIGHT 

PROHIBITED.’’ 

(2) Before the next aerobatic flight after 

November 1, 2010 (the effective date of this 

AD), do a canopy jettison test following Grob 

Aircraft AG Service Bulletin No. MSB1078– 

164, dated July 21, 2009. 

(3) If the canopy jettison fails the test 

required in paragraph (f)(2) of this AD, before 

further aerobatic flight, contact Grob Aircraft 

AG, Customer Service, 86874 TussenhausenMattsies, Germany, telephone: + 49 (0) 8268– 

998–105; fax; + 49 (0) 8268–998–200; e-mail: 

productsupport@grob-aircraft.com, for an 

FAA-approved repair scheme and 

incorporate the repair scheme. 

(4) Within 7 days after doing the canopy 

jettison test required in paragraph (f)(2) of 

this AD or within 7 days after November 1, 

2010 (the effective date of this AD), 

whichever occurs later, submit a report of the 

test results using Appendix 1 of Grob Aircraft 

AG Service Bulletin No. MSB1078–164, 

dated July 21, 2009, to Grob Aircraft AG at 

the address specified in paragraph (f)(3)(i) of 

this AD. 

(5) After the corrective actions specified in 

paragraph (f)(3) or if the canopy jettison 

passed the test required in paragraph (f)(2) of 

this AD, before further flight, remove the 

placard that was installed in accordance with 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/ 

or service information as follows: The MCAI 

does not have a placard requirement. To 

eliminate any confusion and to ensure pilot 

awareness of the unsafe condition, we added 

a temporary placard requirement to this AD. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(g) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to 

ATTN: Greg Davison, Aerospace Engineer, 

FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, 

Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; 

telephone: (816) 329–4130; fax: (816) 329– 

4090. Before using any approved AMOC on 

any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector 

(PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District 

Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local 

FSDO. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service. 

(3) Reporting Requirements: For any 

reporting requirement in this AD, under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has

33 CFR Part 165 

[Docket No. USCG–2010–0806] 

RIN 1625–AA00 

Safety Zone; Ledge Removal Project, 

Bass Harbor, ME 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone 

around a ledge removal project in Bass 

Harbor, Maine. The United States Army 

Corps of Engineers (USACE) has 

contracted Prock Marine Company to 

remove a section of ledge in order to 

expand an anchorage area for the Town 

of Tremont. This regulation establishes 

a temporary safety zone around the 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 186 / Monday, September 27, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 59079 

work area where explosive charges will 

be used. This safety zone is necessary to 

protect waterway users from the hazards 

associated with explosive blasting and 

subsequent debris removal. 

DATES: This rule is effective beginning at 

6 a.m. on October 1, 2010 through 11:59 

p.m. on November 15, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

The Coast Guard is issuing this final 

rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment pursuant to 

authority under section 4(a) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) 

(5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because this 

project has already been subject to 

extensive public review and comment 

through the Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE), Town of Tremont public 

meetings, and outreach by the Prock 

Marine Company. A complete 

description of the project was made 

available as a Public Notice at the New 

England District USACE Web site: 

http://www.nae.usace.army.mil/ 

projects/me/bassharbor/bassharbor.htm. 

No objections have been raised by 

maritime interests or the local 

community. The Coast Guard finds that 

issuing a NPRM for this temporary rule 

unnecessary and contrary to public 

interest as immediate action is 

necessary to protect the public from the 

hazards associated with explosive 

blasting. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register for the reasons enumerated 

above. In addition, there is an 

immediate need to protect waterway 

users from hazards associated with the 

explosive charges. A delay in the 

effective dates of this regulation would 

delay the start of the ledge removal; 

such a delay would be contrary to 

public interest. The USACE has given 

Prock Marine Company a limited time 

period beginning on October 1, 2010 in 

which the ledge removal can take place. 

A delay in the start date could 

jeopardize the project as on site weather 

conditions deteriorate as the fall season 

progresses, and any delay to the project 

completion would be contrary to public 

interest. 

Basis and Purpose 

The USACE plans to remove 

1,800 cubic yards of a ledge in the 

navigable waterway in and around Bass 

Harbor both to increase mooring 

capacity for fishing trawlers and 

recreational vessels and to provide a 

channel connecting the inner and outer 

harbor anchorages. This project will last 

approximately 30 days beginning 

October 1, 2010 and will involve using 

explosive charges to remove a section of 

ledge. As blasting projects introduce 

significant hazards to waterway users, 

including risk of injury or death from 

near or actual contact with the blasting 

and dredge equipment, a safety zone 

around the blast area is necessary to 

ensure the safety of waterway users in 

Bass Harbor. This rule prevents vessels 

from entering, transiting, mooring or 

anchoring within the area designated as 

a safety zone unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port or his designated 

representative. 

The USACE, Town of Tremont, and 

Prock Marine Company have conducted 

extensive public outreach regarding this 

proposed ledge removal project with no 

negative feedback. This temporary 

safety zone will facilitate this project by 

ensuring that the safety of waterway 

users is not compromised while blasting 

operations take place. 

Discussion of Rule 

This rule establishes a temporary 

safety zone located 500 feet east of the 

Tremont Town Pier. The safety zone 

covers an area approximately 900 feet 

by 600 feet including all navigable 

waters from surface to bottom extending 

300 feet around the following 

coordinates: 44°14′27.9′′ N, 

068°21′01.8′′ W to the northwest; 

44°14′28.5′′ N, 068°20′59.9′′ W to the 

northeast; 44°14′25.6′′ N, 068°20′59′′ W 

to the southeast; and 44°14′25.3′′ N, 

068°21′00.1′′ W to the southwest. The 

zone will be marked with four, red, 

inflatable markers indicating the edges 

of the zone. 

During the enforcement period of the 

safety zone, persons and vessels are 

prohibited from entering, transiting, 

anchoring or mooring within the zone 

unless specifically authorized by the 

Captain of the Port (COTP) or his 

designated representative. The 

‘‘designated representative’’ is any Coast 

Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty 

officer who has been designated by the 

COTP to act on his behalf. On-scene 

patrol personnel may also assist with 

the enforcement of this regulation. 

Patrol personnel may be comprised of 

local, State, or Federal officials 

authorized to act in support of the Coast 

Guard. In addition, members of the 

Coast Guard Auxiliary or Prock Marine 

Company may be present to inform 

waterway users of this regulation. 

The Coast Guard anticipates little 

negative impact on vessel traffic from 

this temporary safety zone as the ledge 

that is being removed already renders 

the area unsuitable for navigation by the 

majority of vessels transiting the area. In 

addition, the safety zone does not block 

vessel traffic to any other area of Bass 

Harbor, as the main channel lies to the 

west of the safety zone. Once the ledge 

has been removed and the Coast Guard 

has verified there are no remaining 

obstructions in the area, the 

enforcement of this safety zone may be 

suspended prior to the cancellation 

date. In order to facilitate public notice 

and vessel compliance with this 

regulation, details of the safety zone will 

be made via the Local Notice to 

Mariners and Safety Marine Information 

Broadcasts. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this interim rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES

59080 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 186 / Monday, September 27, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action because there is no 

commercial traffic in the region. Also, 

traffic will be allowed to pass through 

the zone with the permission of the 

Coast Guard Captain of the Port. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

whether this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises 

small businesses, not-for-profit 

organizations that are independently 

owned and operated and are not 

dominant in their fields, and 

governmental jurisdictions with 

populations of less than 50,000. 

The Coast Guard certifies under 5 

U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

This rule will affect the following 

entities, some of which may be small 

entities: The owners or operators of 

vessels intending to enter, transit, 

anchor or moor in the designated safety 

zone during the enforcement period 

stated in the List of Subjects. 

The safety zone will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities for 

the following reasons: The safety zone 

will be of limited size and duration, and 

vessels that can safely do so may 

navigate in all portions of the waterway 

except for the area designated a safety 

zone. Additionally, before the effective 

period, the Coast Guard will issue 

notice of the time and location of the 

safety zone through the Local Notice to 

Mariners and Safety Marine Information 

Broadcast. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on it, 

please submit a comment (see 

ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it 

qualifies and how and to what degree 

this rule would economically affect it. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

we offer to assist small entities in 

understanding the rule so that they can 

better evaluate its effects on them and 

participate in the rulemaking process. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 

888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The 

Coast Guard will not retaliate against 

small entities that question or complain 

about this rule or any policy or action 

of the Coast Guard. 

Collection of Information 

This rule calls for no new collection 

of information under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520). 

Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on State or local governments and 

would either preempt State law or 

impose a substantial direct cost of 

compliance on them. We have analyzed 

this rule under that Order and have 

determined that it does not have 

implications for federalism. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or Tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this rule 

will not result in such an expenditure, 

we do discuss the effects of this rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This rule will not cause a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

Civil Justice Reform 

This rule meets applicable standards 

in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 

Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to 

minimize litigation, eliminate 

ambiguity, and reduce burden. 

Protection of Children 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13045, Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not 

an economically significant rule and 

does not create an environmental risk to 

health or risk to safety that may 

disproportionately affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have Tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

Tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian Tribes, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian Tribes. 

Energy Effects 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. We have 

determined that it is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under that order because 

it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866 and is not 

likely to have a significant adverse effect 

on the supply, distribution, or use of 

energy. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. This rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 186 / Monday, September 27, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 59081 

have concluded this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(g), of the Instruction as this rule 

involves establishing a safety zone. 

An environmental analysis checklist 

and a categorical exclusion 

determination are available in the 

docket where indicated under 

ADDRESSES.

zone will be marked with four, red, 

inflatable markers indicating the edges 

of the zone. 

(b) Notification. Coast Guard Sector 

Northern New England will cause notice 

of the enforcement of this temporary 

safety zone to be made by all 

appropriate means to affect the widest 

publicity among the effected segments 

of the public, including publication in 

the Local Notice to Mariners and Safety 

Marine Information Broadcast. 

(c) Effective Period. This rule is 

effective from 6 a.m. on October 1, 2010 

through 11:59 p.m. on November 15, 

2010. 

(d) Regulations. (1) The general 

regulations contained in 33 CFR 165.23 

apply. During the enforcement period, 

entering, transiting, anchoring or 

mooring within the safety zone is 

prohibited unless authorized by the 

COTP or his designated representatives. 

(2) This temporary safety zone is 

closed to all vessel traffic, except as may 

be permitted by the COTP or his 

designated representatives. Vessel 

operators given permission to enter or 

operate in the safety zone must comply 

with all directions given to them by the 

COTP or his designated representative. 

Vessels that are granted permission to 

enter or remain within the safety zone 

may be required to be at anchor or 

moored to a waterfront facility such that 

the vessel’s location will not interfere 

with dredging operations. 

(3) The ‘‘designated representative’’ is 

any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant 

or petty officer who has been designated 

by the COTP to act on his behalf. The 

on-scene representative may be on a 

Coast Guard vessel, a State or local law 

enforcement vessel, or other designated 

craft, or may be on shore and will 

communicate with vessels via VHF–FM 

radio or loudhailer. On-scene patrol 

personnel may also assist with the 

enforcement of this regulation. Patrol 

personnel may be comprised of local, 

State, or Federal officials authorized to 

act in support of the Coast Guard. In 

addition, members of the Coast Guard 

Auxiliary or Prock Marine Company 

may be present to inform waterway 

users of this regulation. 

(4) Vessel operators desiring to enter 

or operate within the safety zone shall 

request permission to do so by

[EPA–R05–OAR–2010–0657; FRL–9205–6] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Michigan; PSD Regulations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve revisions to the 

Michigan State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). The revisions serve to meet 

specific requirements of the prevention 

of significant deterioration (PSD) 

construction permit program under the 

Federal Clean Air Act (CAA). This 

program affects major stationary sources 

in Michigan that are subject to or 

potentially subject to the PSD 

construction permit program. On July 

16, 2010, Michigan submitted revisions 

pertaining to the ‘‘net emission increase’’ 

definition and the ‘‘reasonable 

possibility’’ recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements, and EPA has found the 

revisions acceptable. 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective November 26, 2010, unless 

EPA receives adverse comments by 

October 27, 2010. If adverse comments 

are received, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that the rule will not take effect.
