spare parts, and this proposed AD does
not address spare parts.
• The EASA AD requires a repeat of
the tests for helicopters that have been
modified in compliance with AD F–
2005–100, and this proposed AD does
not.
• The EASA AD also applies to the
Model AS332C1 helicopter, and this
proposed AD does not because this
model does not have an FAA-issued
type certificate.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
would affect three helicopters of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs
to comply with this proposed AD:
We estimate that modification of the
control panel, connector, and wiring
would take one work hour to complete
at $85 per hour, and that parts would
cost $293. Performing function tests
would take about 4.5 hours to complete,
for a total labor cost of $383. Thus, we
estimate a total cost per helicopter of
$761, and a total cost of $2,283 for the
fleet.
We do not control warranty coverage.
Accordingly, we have included all costs
in our cost estimate.
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.

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.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
13:34 Sep 24, 2012
Jkt 226001
For the reasons discussed, 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);
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 proposed AD and placed it in the
AD docket.

We are reopening and
extending the public comment period
and will be holding two public hearings
on the proposed amendment to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s
approved regulatory program (the

We are also notifying the public of the
date, time, and locations for the public
hearing. Pennsylvania is introducing
beneficial use of coal ash into the
Pennsylvania statutory scheme via
Pennsylvania’s Solid Waste
Management Act (‘‘SWMA’’), the Clean
Streams Law (‘‘CSL’’), the Surface
Mining Conservation and Reclamation
Act, and the Administrative Code.
Pennsylvania intends to revise its
approved program pursuant to the
additional flexibility afforded by the
revised Federal regulations and SMCRA,
as amended, to ensure Pennsylvania’s
proposed provision is consistent with
and in accordance with SMCRA and the
corresponding regulations.
DATES: We will accept written
comments until 4 p.m., eastern standard
time (‘‘EST’’) on October 19, 2012. Two
public hearings will be held on

On July
11, 2012, (77 FR 40836) we published a
proposed rule that would revise the
Pennsylvania program. The revisions
would add regulations to the
Pennsylvania program to regulate coal
ash. The key provisions of the rule
address the operating requirements for
beneficial use of coal ash upon active
and abandoned mine land sites. The
proposed amendment addition has the
following components:
• Chemical and physical certification
standards for coal ash to ensure
compliance with beneficial use
requirements;
• Coal ash monitoring to ensure coal
ash meets qualification criteria;
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00007

• Water quality monitoring to create a
robust dataset to facilitate the evaluation
and documentation of water quality at
sites where coal ash is beneficially used;
• A minimum number of monitoring
points to characterize the groundwater;
• Recording of the landowner consent
for placement of coal ash for beneficial
use;
• Reporting of volumes and locations
where coal ash is beneficially used;
• Operational and monitoring
standards for all types of beneficial use;
• A centralized process to qualify
coal ash for beneficial use at mine sites;
• An annual fee payable to the
Department to offset some of its costs for
coal ash and water quality sampling and
testing at mine sites where coal ash is
beneficially used; and
• Abatement plan requirements in the
event that site assessments indicate
groundwater or surface water
degradation.
On July 19, 2012, (Administrative
Record Number, PA 894.06) we received
a request from the Citizens Coal Council
to hold a public hearing on the
amendment and to extend the public
comment period. On July 25, 2012,
(Administrative Record Number, PA
894.08), we received a request from the
Center for Coalfield Justice to hold a
public hearing on the amendment. We
are granting the request to extend the
public comment period to afford the
public more time to comment on the
amendment and to allow enough time to
schedule and hold the hearings, as
requested. The date, time and location
for the public hearings may be found
under DATES and ADDRESSES above.
The hearings will be open to anyone
who would like to attend and/or testify.
The primary purpose of the public
hearing is to obtain your comments on
the proposed rule so that we can
prepare a complete and objective
analysis of the proposal. The hearing
officer will conduct the hearing and
receive the comments submitted.
Comments submitted during the hearing
will be responded to in the preamble to
the final rule, not at the hearing. We
appreciate all comments, but those most
useful and likely to influence decisions
on the final rule will be those that either
involve personal experience or include
citations to, and analyses of, the Surface
Mining Control and Reclamation Act of
1977, its legislative history, its
implementing regulations, case law,
other State or Federal laws and
regulations, data, technical literature, or
relevant publications.
At the hearing, a court reporter will
record and make a written record of the
statements presented. This written
record will be made part of the
