Refinement of Income and Rent Determination Requirements in Public and Assisted Housing Programs: Proposed Delay of Effective Date, 6839-6840 [E9-3004]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 11, 2009 / Proposed Rules AD docket to examine the draft economic evaluation. Regulatory Findings dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with PROPOSALS is a need to require the servo actuator leakage rate inspections and replacing each affected servo actuator with a servo actuator containing a newly re-designed servo actuator piston to prevent degraded servo actuator performance as a result of piston head seal leakage and plasma spray flaking. Since this proposal changes the scope and the requirements of the originally proposed rule, we have determined that it is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide additional opportunity for public comment. We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 300 helicopters (900 servo actuators) of U.S. registry. We also estimate that the leakage rate inspection would take about 1 work hour per servo actuator at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour, and the two leakage rate inspections on 900 servo actuators would cost about $144,000. We estimate that 6 servo actuators, Sikorsky P/N 76650–09805–109 or -110, would need to be replaced with servo actuators, Sikorsky P/N 76650–09805–111. Assuming an estimated 8 work hours per servo actuator for installation and a cost of $57,000 per servo actuator, the total cost of installing these servo actuators would be $345,840. We estimate that the cost of replacing the pistons in the remaining 894 servo actuators would cost $7,259,280, assuming 14 work hours to replace the pistons and install the servo actuator, and a cost of $3,500 per piston (2 pistons per servo). Therefore, the total estimated cost of this proposal is $7,749,120. 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: 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. We prepared a draft economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD. See the VerDate Nov<24>2008 13:29 Feb 10, 2009 Jkt 217001 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 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–2006–24587; Directorate Identifier 2006–SW–05–AD. Applicability: Model S–76A, B, and C helicopters, with a main rotor servo actuator (servo actuator), Sikorsky part number (P/N) 76650–09805–109 or –110 (also marked as HR Textron P/N 3006760–109 or –110), installed, certificated in any category. Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To detect leaking in a servo actuator, which could lead to degraded servo actuator performance and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter, do the following: (a) For a servo actuator with 1,500 or less hours time-in-service (TIS) since new (TSN) or TIS since overhaul (TSO), determine the leakage rate on or before reaching 1,500 hours TSN or TSO. PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 6839 (b) For a servo actuator with 2,250 or less hours TSN or TSO, but more than 1,500 hours TSN or TSO, determine the leakage rate on or before reaching 2,250 hours TSN or TSO. (c) If the leakage rate in any servo actuator exceeds 700 cc per minute when performing the leakage rate inspection specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this AD, then: (1) Replace that servo actuator piston, HR Textron P/N 41004321, with a servo actuator piston, P/N 41012001 or P/N 41012001–001, and re-identify the servo actuator on the servo actuator data plate as Sikorsky P/N ‘‘76650–09805–111’’ and HR Textron P/N ‘‘3006760–111’’ using a metal stamp method; or (2) Replace the servo actuator with an airworthy servo actuator, Sikorsky P/N 76650–09805–111, HR Textron P/N 3006760– 111. (d) On or before 3,000 hours TSN or TSO, whichever occurs first, replace each servo actuator piston and re-identify the servo actuator as specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this AD or replace each servo actuator as specified in paragraph (c)(2) of this AD. (e) Modifying and re-identifying each servo actuator as specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this AD or replacing each servo actuator as specified in paragraph (c)(2) of this AD is terminating action for the requirements of this AD for the modified and re-identified or replaced servo actuator. (f) To request a different method of compliance or a different compliance time for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 39.19.
