Eurocopter France: Docket No. FAA–2009–
0663; Directorate Identifier 2007–SW–
25–AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) We must receive comments by
September 2, 2009.
Other Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Eurocopter France
(Eurocopter) Model AS 332 C, L, L1, and L2;
AS 350 B3; AS 355 F, F1, F2, and N; SA 365
N and N1; AS 365 N2 and N3; SA 366 G1;
EC 130 B4; and EC 155 B and B1 helicopters,
certificated in any category.
Reason
(d) The mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) states that
the AD is issued following a manufacturing
nonconformity found on one batch of the
servo-control cap, part number (P/N) 800137.
38383
With a defective servo-control, rotation of the
distributor might not be stopped
mechanically since only friction of inner
seals holds the distributor sleeve in its
position. If not corrected this condition could
cause untimely movements of servo-controls,
which are used on main and anti-torque
rotors, and lead to the loss of control of the
helicopter.
the servo-control, or not later than 2 years
after the effective date of this AD, whichever
occurs first, replace the servo-control with an
airworthy servo-control that has an ‘‘R’’
marked in the inspection box of the servocontrol identification plate or one with a
serial number not listed in paragraph 1.A.1
of the ASB applicable to your model
helicopter.
Actions and Compliance
Note 1: The letter ‘‘R’’ marked in the
inspection box of the servo-control
identification plate indicates that the servocontrol cap assembly has been brought into
conformity with design data and has been
installed properly.
(e) Within 2 months after the effective date
of this AD, unless already done, do the
following actions.
(1) For each servo-control with a P/N and
a serial number (S/N) listed in paragraph
1.A.1. of the applicable Eurocopter Alert
Service Bulletin (ASB) stated in Table 1 of
this AD, determine whether there is a letter
‘‘R’’ marked in the inspection box of the
servo-control identification plate.
(2) If there is no letter ‘‘R’’ marked in the
inspection box of a servo-control
identification plate, on the next removal of
(3) There are 2 identically numbered and
dated ASBs. There is an ASB No. 67A010,
dated February 19, 2007, that applies to the
Model EC130B4 helicopters and an ASB No.
67A010, dated February 19, 2007, that
applies to the Model EC 155B and B1
helicopters. You must use the ASB that
applies to your model helicopter.

Differences between the FAA AD and the
MCAI AD
(f) This AD differs from the MCAI AD in
that it:
(1) Is not applicable to the Model AS 332
C1 helicopters because they are not type
certificated in the United States;
(2) Does not require returning the servocontrols to the manufacturer;
(3) Does not address servo-control ‘‘spares’’
(parts not installed on a helicopter);
(4) Uses the term ‘‘inspect’’ rather than
‘‘check’’; and
(5) Includes information explaining that
there are 2 ASBs with the same number and
date.

animal for use in an animal fighting
venture, or (2) to advertise a knife, a
gaff, or any other sharp instrument
attached, or designed or intended to be
attached, to the leg of a bird for use in
an animal fighting venture. The 2008

to ‘‘any event, in or affecting interstate
or foreign commerce’’ involving a fight
‘‘conducted or to be conducted’’
between at least two animals. To

Approval and Promulgation of State
Air Quality Plans for Designated
Facilities and Pollutants; West
Virginia; Control of Emissions From
Existing Commercial and Industrial
Incineration (CISWI) Units, Plan
Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve a
revision to the West Virginia (WV)
commercial and industrial solid waste
incinerator (CISWI) 111(d)/129 plan (the
‘‘plan’’). The revision contains a
modified WV Department of
Environmental Protection, Division of
Air Quality (DAQ) rule, WV45CSR18,
that streamlines the state’s regulatory
structure for incinerator units into one
rule which incorporates Clean Air Act
(CAA), section 129 requirements. This
approval action relates only to CISWI
units. In the Final Rules section of this
Federal Register, EPA is approving the
State of West Virginia’s CISWI plan
revision submittal as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
action and anticipate no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA
receives adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
