Comments Due Date
(a) We must receive your comments by
August 6, 2010.

Reason
(d) The mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) AD states
that EASA received a report of a rear hinged
door on a Model AS332L1 helicopter opening
in flight without loss of the door.
Examinations revealed incorrect positioning
of a door catch that resulted in incorrect
locking and uncontrolled opening of the
door. This condition, if not detected and
corrected, can lead to the loss of the hinged
door in flight, damage to the main or tail
rotor blades, and subsequent loss of control
of the helicopter.
Actions and Compliance
(e) Required as indicated.
(1) Within the next 220 hours time-inservice (TIS) or 6 months, whichever occurs
first, unless done previously, inspect the
position of each upper and lower door catch:
(i) As depicted in Figures 1 through 4 and
by following the Accomplishment
Instructions, Table 1 of paragraph 2.B.2., of
Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 52.13, dated
December 1, 2008 (ASB 52.13) for the Model
SA330F, G, and J helicopters, or
(ii) As depicted in Figures 1 through 5 and
by following the Accomplishment
Instructions, Table 1 of paragraph 2.B.2. of
ASB No. 52.00.38, dated December 1, 2008
(ASB 52.00.38) for the Model AS332C, L, L1,
and L2 helicopters.
(2) Before further flight, replace each
improperly positioned catch by following the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs
2.B.3. and 2.B.4., of ASB 52.13 or ASB
52.00.38, as appropriate for your model
helicopter.
(3) Before further flight, adjust each microswitch, and conduct a functional test of the
hinged-door indicating system:
(i) By following the Accomplishment
Instructions, paragraph 2.B.5. and 2.B.6., of
ASB 52.13, for the Model SA330F, G, and J
helicopters, or
(ii) By following the Accomplishment
Instructions, paragraph 2.B.5.a. through
2.B.5.b. of ASB 52.00.38 for the Model
AS332C, L, L1, and L2 helicopters.

Declaration of Prion as a Pest under
FIFRA and Amendment of EPA’s
Regulatory Definition of Pests to
Include Prion; Notification to the
Secretaries of Agriculture and Health
and Human Services
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notification to the Secretaries of
Agriculture and Health and Human
Services.
SUMMARY: This document notifies the
public that the Administrator of EPA
has forwarded to the Secretaries of
Agriculture and Health and Human
Services a draft proposed rule under
sections 21 and 25(a) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA). The draft rule proposes to
declare a prion (i.e., proteinaceous
infectious particle) a ‘‘pest’’ under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), so a product
intended to reduce the infectivity of any
prion on inanimate surfaces (i.e., a
‘‘prion product’’) is considered to be a

pesticide and regulated as such. Any
company seeking to distribute or sell a
pesticide product regulated under
FIFRA must obtain EPA approval before
it can be distributed or sold in the
United States. This draft proposed rule
would codify the Agency’s current
interpretation of FIFRA, and provides
interested parties the opportunity to
comment about how it is adding prion
to the list of pests in EPA’s regulations.
This amendment, together with the
formal declaration that a prion is a pest,
will eliminate any confusion about the
status of prion products under FIFRA.
Regulating prion products under FIFRA
is appropriate for protecting human
health and the environment against
unreasonable adverse effects and
ensuring that such products are
effective.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–
OPP–2010–0427. All documents in the
