ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for
Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model
SA330F, SA330G, SA330J, AS332C,
AS332L, AS332L1, and AS332L2
helicopters to require cleaning,
inspecting, and lubricating each
tangential gearbox (gearbox) and
adjusting, as necessary, the fuel shut-off
control lever. This AD was prompted by
the jamming of one of two fuel shut-off
control levers because of solidified
grease in the gearbox. A companion
gearbox had extensive corrosion. In case
of an emergency, pilots may need to use
the control levers to shut off fuel going
into the engine and to shut off the
helicopter’s electrical power system.
The jamming of the levers prevents the
shut off of the engine fuel and prevents
the parallel-mounted micro switches
from switching off the electrical power
system. These actions are intended to
prevent the jamming of the control
levers, which could prevent shut-off of
the engine fuel and electrical power
system during an emergency shutdown.
DATES: This AD is effective October 24,
2012.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
certain documents as of October 24,
2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On December 28, 2011, at 76 FR
81430, the Federal Register published
our notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM), which proposed to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that
would apply to Eurocopter Model
SA330F, SA330G, SA330J, AS332C,
AS332L, AS332L1, and AS332L2
helicopters. That NPRM proposed to
require within 50 hours time-in-service
(TIS) cleaning, inspecting and
lubricating each gearbox, and adjusting,
as necessary, the fuel shut-off control
travel.
The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Union, has issued EASA Emergency AD
No. 2007–0082–E, dated March 27,
2007, to correct an unsafe condition for
the Eurocopter Model SA330F, SA330G,
SA330J, AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L,
AS332L1, and AS332L2 helicopters.
EASA advises that the emergency AD
was issued following two reports of
jamming of one of the fuel shut-off
control levers discovered during
maintenance. In both cases, this
jamming originates from solidified
grease in the gearboxes. EASA also
found corrosion in a gearbox. Jamming
of a fuel shut-off control lever
constitutes an unsafe condition because
it prevents the shut off of engine fuel
and prevents the parallel-mounted
electrical micro switches, normally
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
activated by shutting off both of the fuel
shut-off control levers, from switching
off the electrical power system during
an emergency shut down.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD, but
we did not receive any comments on the
NPRM.
FAA’s Determination
We have reviewed the relevant
information and determined that an
unsafe condition exists and is likely to
exist or develop on other helicopters of
these same type designs and that air
safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD requirements as
proposed except we are replacing the
word ‘‘travel’’ in the required actions
paragraph with the more accurate word
‘‘lever,’’ and other minor editorial
changes. These changes are consistent
with the intent of the proposals in the
NPRM and will not increase the
economic burden on any operator nor
increase the scope of the AD.
Differences Between This AD and the
EASA AD
• We use the word ‘‘inspect’’ to
describe the actions required by a
mechanic rather than the word ‘‘check.’’
• We refer to the compliance time as
‘‘hours TIS’’ rather than ‘‘flying hours.’’
• We use a different compliance time
for inspecting and lubricating the
gearboxes.
• We are not including the military
model helicopters or Model AS332C1 in
the applicability because they are not
type certificated in the United States.
• We are not requiring measuring the
operating loads of the fuel shut-off
controls per paragraph 1.1 of the EASA
AD (paragraph 2.B.1 of the Eurocopter
Alert Service Bulletin).
Related Service Information
Eurocopter has issued an Alert
Service Bulletin (ASB), Revision 1,
dated March 22, 2007, with three
numbers (Nos. 76.00.04, 76.00.03, and
76.03). ASB No. 76.03 applies to the
U.S. type-certificated Model SA330F,
SA330G, and SA330J and also applies to
the non-type-certificated military Model
330 helicopters. ASB No. 76.00.04
applies the U.S. type-certificated Model
AS332C, AS332L, AS332L1, and
AS332L2 helicopters and also applies to
the non-type-certificated AS332C1 and
military Model 332 helicopters. ASB
No. 76.00.03 applies to the non-typecertificated military Model 532
helicopters. EASA classified this service
information as mandatory and issued

March 27, 2007, to correct the same
unsafe condition as identified in the
service information.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
will affect 29 helicopters of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that the cost
to comply with this AD is $255 per
helicopter, $7,395 for the fleet,
assuming three work-hours at $85 per
hour to lubricate each gearbox.
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
helicopters identified in this rulemaking
action.

Regulatory Findings
This AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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 this AD:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska to the extent that it justifies
making a regulatory distinction; and
(4) 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 an economic evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On December 28, 2011, at 76 FR 81430, the Federal Register
published our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to Eurocopter
Model SA330F, SA330G, SA330J, AS332C, AS332L, AS332L1, and AS332L2
helicopters. That NPRM proposed to require within 50 hours time-in-
service (TIS) cleaning, inspecting and lubricating each gearbox, and
adjusting, as necessary, the fuel shut-off control travel.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Emergency AD No. 2007-0082-E, dated March 27, 2007, to correct an
unsafe condition for the Eurocopter Model SA330F, SA330G, SA330J,
AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, AS332L1, and AS332L2 helicopters. EASA advises
that the emergency AD was issued following two reports of jamming of
one of the fuel shut-off control levers discovered during maintenance.
In both cases, this jamming originates from solidified grease in the
gearboxes. EASA also found corrosion in a gearbox. Jamming of a fuel
shut-off control lever constitutes an unsafe condition because it
prevents the shut off of engine fuel and prevents the parallel-mounted
electrical micro switches, normally activated by shutting off both of
the fuel shut-off control levers, from switching off the electrical
power system during an emergency shut down.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we did not receive any comments on the NPRM.
FAA's Determination
We have reviewed the relevant information and determined that an
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
helicopters of these same type designs and that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD requirements as proposed except
we are replacing the word ``travel'' in the required actions paragraph
with the more accurate word ``lever,'' and other minor editorial
changes. These changes are consistent with the intent of the proposals
in the NPRM and will not increase the economic burden on any operator
nor increase the scope of the AD.
Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD
We use the word ``inspect'' to describe the actions
required by a mechanic rather than the word ``check.''
We refer to the compliance time as ``hours TIS'' rather
than ``flying hours.''
We use a different compliance time for inspecting and
lubricating the gearboxes.
We are not including the military model helicopters or
Model AS332C1 in the applicability because they are not type
certificated in the United States.
We are not requiring measuring the operating loads of the
fuel shut-off controls per paragraph 1.1 of the EASA AD (paragraph
2.B.1 of the Eurocopter Alert Service Bulletin).
Related Service Information
Eurocopter has issued an Alert Service Bulletin (ASB), Revision 1,
dated March 22, 2007, with three numbers (Nos. 76.00.04, 76.00.03, and
76.03). ASB No. 76.03 applies to the U.S. type-certificated Model
SA330F, SA330G, and SA330J and also applies to the non-type-
certificated military Model 330 helicopters. ASB No. 76.00.04 applies
the U.S. type-certificated Model AS332C, AS332L, AS332L1, and AS332L2
helicopters and also applies to the non-type-certificated AS332C1 and
military Model 332 helicopters. ASB No. 76.00.03 applies to the non-
type-certificated military Model 532 helicopters. EASA classified this
service information as mandatory and issued Emergency AD No. 2007-0082-
E, dated
[[Page 57997]]
March 27, 2007, to correct the same unsafe condition as identified in
the service information.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 29 helicopters of
U.S. registry. We also estimate that the cost to comply with this AD is
$255 per helicopter, $7,395 for the fleet, assuming three work-hours at
$85 per hour to lubricate each gearbox.
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

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 helicopters identified in this
rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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 this AD:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
(4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
