Download as PDF 20302 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 78 / Tuesday April 24, 2007 / Proposed Rules 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 We 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. 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. We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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: Applicability (c) This AD applies to Model TB 9, TB 10, and TB 200 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category. Subject (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 5: Time Limits. Reason (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: * * * a new life limit for engine and Nose Landing Gear (NLG) mounts installed on EADS SOCATA TB 9, TB 10 and TB 200 airplanes, as defined in the updated Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) of the relevant Aircraft Maintenance Manuals (AMM). Actions and Compliance (f) Unless already done, within the next 30 days after the effective date of this AD, incorporate the life limits in the Airworthiness Limitations documents presented in paragraphs (f)(1), (f)(2), or (f)(3) of this AD into the FAA-approved maintenance program. This may be done by updating the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the Airplane Maintenance Manual (AMM) and inserting the following applicable revision. The owner/operator holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.7) may do this action. Make an entry in the aircraft records showing compliance with this portion of the AD following section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9). (1) For Model TB 9 airplanes: Use SOCATA TB 9 Model Maintenance Manual, 04, Airworthiness Limitations, Original version dated September 1991, Revision 18, dated September 2006, or later revision that incorporates the same life limit for the engine mount and NLG mount as the above referenced Revision 18; (2) For Model TB 10 airplanes: Use SOCATA TB 10 Model Maintenance Manual, 04, Airworthiness Limitations, Original version dated September 1991, Revision 18, dated September 2006, or later revision that incorporates the same life limit for the engine mount and NLG mount as the above referenced Revision 18; or (3) For Model TB 200 airplanes: Use SOCATA TB 200 Model Maintenance Manual, 04, Airworthiness Limitations, Original version dated September 1991, Revision 18, dated September 2006, or later revision that incorporates the same life limit for the engine mount and NLG mount as the above referenced Revision 18.

Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any E:\FR\FM\24APP1.SGM 24APP1 20304 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 78 / Tuesday April 24, 2007 / Proposed Rules other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impact of today’s proposed rule amendments on small entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small business according to Small Business Administration size standards for companies identified by NAICS codes 336111 (automobile manufacturing) and 336112 (light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing) with 1,000 or fewer employees or by NAICS code 323113 (commercial screen printing) with 500 or fewer employees; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government or a city, county, town, school district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-forprofit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field. Based on the above definition, there are no small entities presently engaged in automobile and light-duty truck surface coating. While there are small entities presently engaged in commercial screen printing, the proposed rule amendments would not impose any requirements on commercial screen printers. After considering the economic impacts of today’s proposed rule amendments on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This is based on the observation that the proposed rule affects no small entities since none are engaged in the surface coating of automobiles and light-duty trucks, and no requirements are imposed on commercial screen printers. We continue to be interested in the potential impacts of the proposed rule amendments on small entities and welcome comments on issues related to such impacts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Why is EPA issuing this proposed rule? This document proposes to 
take action on the Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP and the 
Plastic Parts NESHAP. We are proposing to amend the Automobiles and 
Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP to clarify the interaction between the 
Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks NESHAP and the Plastic Parts NESHAP,

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    For a complete discussion of all of the administrative requirements 
applicable to this action, see the direct final rule in the Rules and 
Regulations section of today's Federal Register.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency 
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative 
Procedure Act or any

[[Page 20304]]

other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small 
governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impact of today's proposed rule 
amendments on small entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small 
business according to Small Business Administration size standards for 
companies identified by NAICS codes 336111 (automobile manufacturing) 
and 336112 (light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing) with 1,000 
or fewer employees or by NAICS code 323113 (commercial screen printing) 
with 500 or fewer employees; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that 
is a government or a city, county, town, school district or special 
district with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small 
organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is 
independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field. 
Based on the above definition, there are no small entities presently 
engaged in automobile and light-duty truck surface coating. While there 
are small entities presently engaged in commercial screen printing, the 
proposed rule amendments would not impose any requirements on 
commercial screen printers.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's proposed rule 
amendments on small entities, I certify that this action will not have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. This is based on the observation that the proposed rule 
affects no small entities since none are engaged in the surface coating 
of automobiles and light-duty trucks, and no requirements are imposed 
on commercial screen printers. We continue to be interested in the 
potential impacts of the proposed rule amendments on small entities and 
welcome comments on issues related to such impacts.
