West Building at the street address 

stated in the ADDRESSES section. 

Comments will be available in the AD 

docket shortly after receipt. 

Discussion 

This document proposes adopting a 

new AD for Sikorsky Model S–92A 

helicopters. The AD would require 

revising the Limitations section of the 

RFM by clarifying that the Model S–92A 

helicopter was certificated as a transport 

category rotorcraft in both Categories A 

and B with different operating 

limitations for each category and must 

be operated accordingly. The Model S– 

92A helicopter was certificated to 

Category A requirements on December 

17, 2002, and certificated to Category B 

requirements on May 7, 2004. When the 

Model S–92A is configured with 10 or 

more passenger seats, it is a Category A 

rotorcraft, and operators must follow the 

limitations for Category A. When it is 

configured with 9 or less passenger 

seats, it may be considered a Category 

B rotorcraft, and operators may follow 

the less stringent Category B limitations. 

The current limitation language in the 

RFM does not make a clear distinction 

between Categories A and B based on 

the seating configuration. We have 

received reports that some operators are 

inappropriately operating Model S–92A 

helicopters using Category B limitations 

when the helicopter is configured with 

10 or more passenger seats. Operating 

this helicopter when configured with 10 

or more passenger seats and adhering to 

the less stringent limitations for the 

Category B configuration approved for a 

9 or less passenger seat configuration 

does not maintain the FAA required 

minimum level of safety. Therefore, we 

are proposing to change the Limitations 

section of the RFM to make it clear that 

this model helicopter is a Category A 

helicopter when configured with 10 or 

more passenger seats. 

This unsafe condition is likely to exist 

or develop on other helicopters of the 

same type design. Therefore, the 

proposed AD would require revising the 

Limitations section of the RFM by 

replacing the wording in Part 1, Section 

1, of the Operating Limitations under 

Types of Operation. Replace this 

wording: ‘‘Category ‘A’ and ‘B’, Day, 

Night, VFR and IFR, transport, with 

maximum seating for 19 passengers’’ 

with this wording: ‘‘Category ‘A’ with a 

maximum of 19 passenger seats or 

Category ‘B’ with 9 or less passenger 

seats; day, night, VFR and IFR.’’ 

We estimate this proposed AD would 

affect about 65 helicopters of U.S. 

registry. Revising the RFM would result 

in minimal costs. 

Regulatory Findings 

We have determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. Additionally, 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 that the 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. 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. 

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 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, pursuant to 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. Section 39.13 is amended by 

adding a new airworthiness directive to 

read as follows: 

Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation: Docket No. 

FAA–2009–0559; Directorate Identifier 

2008–SW–66–AD. 

Applicability 

Model S–92A helicopters, certificated in 

any category. 

Compliance 

Within the next 10 days, unless 

accomplished previously. 

To prevent operating under less stringent 

requirements, do the following: 

(a) Make the following pen and ink 

changes or insert a copy of this AD into the 

Limitations section of the Rotorcraft Flight 

Manual (RFM), Part 1, Section 1, of the 

Operating Limitations under Types of 

Operation: 

Replace this wording: 

‘‘Category ‘A’ and ‘B’, Day, Night, VFR and 

IFR, transport, with maximum seating for 19 

passengers’’ 

With this wording: 

‘‘Category ‘A’ with a maximum of 19 

passenger seats or Category ‘B’ with 9 or less 

passenger seats; Day, Night, VFR and IFR.’’ 

(b) Making the change required by 

paragraph (a) of this AD is terminating action 

for the requirements of this AD. 

(c) To request a different method of 

compliance or a different compliance time 

for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 

39.19. Contact the Manager, Boston Aircraft 

Certification Office, FAA, ATTN: John

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION On April 

24, 2009, the Commission announced in 

the Federal Register a workshop, to be 

held June 1, 2009, in the rulemaking 

proceeding to amend the Rule on 

Disclosure Requirements and 

Prohibitions Concerning Business 

Opportunities, 16 CFR Part 437 (‘‘The 

Business Opportunity Rule’’).2 The 

announcement indicated that the 

workshop would focus on ‘‘issues 

relating to the effectiveness of the 

proposed revised Business 

Opportunities Disclosure Form attached 

to this Notice as a means of conveying 

material information to prospective 

purchasers of business opportunities.’’3

The announcement further explained 

that, based on a consultant’s copy 

testing of an earlier version of the 

proposed a one-page pre-sale disclosure 

document, a revised version of the 

disclosure document, with improved 

clarity, readability, and 

understandability, was being proposed. 

The announcement stated that written 

comments would be accepted until June 

15, 2009. 

As indicated in the announcement, 

the workshop was conducted on June 1, 

2009. On June 11, 2009, one of the 

panelists who had participated at the 

workshop requested a ten-day extension 

of the comment period. 

The Commission believes that a brief 

extension of the comment period will 

not materially delay the completion of 

this rule amendment proceeding. 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined to extend the workshop 

comment period until June 29, 2009. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark 

Secretary.
