The Committee’s meeting was widely
publicized throughout the spearmint oil
industry and all interested persons were
invited to attend the meeting and
participate in Committee deliberations
on all issues. Like all Committee
meetings, the November 6, 2013,
meeting was a public meeting and all
entities, both large and small, were able
to express views on this issue. Finally,
interested persons are invited to submit
comments on this proposed rule,
including the regulatory and
informational impacts of this action on
small businesses.
A small business guide on complying
with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop
marketing agreements and orders may
be viewed at: https://www.ams.usda.gov/

Discussion
The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Community, has issued AD No.: 2014–
0001, dated January 6, 2014 (referred to
after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an
unsafe condition for Costruzioni
Aeronautiche Tecnam srl Model P2006T
airplanes. The MCAI states:
During a ‘‘100 hours’’ inspection of a
P2006T aeroplane, one engine mount Part
Number (P/N) 26–7–1200–000 was found
cracked on a node.
This condition, if not detected and
corrected, could lead to engine damage,
possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane
and injury to the occupants.
To address this potential unsafe condition,
TECNAM issued Service Bulletin (SB) 138–
CS-Rev0, providing inspection instructions.
For the reasons described above, this AD
requires a one-time inspection of each engine
mount P/N 26–7–1200–000 and, depending
on findings, replacement of the engine
mount(s).
This AD is considered an interim action
and further AD action may follow.
You may examine the MCAI on the
Internet at https://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA–2014–0156.
Relevant Service Information
Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl
has issued Service Bulletin No. SB 138–
CS, Rev. 0, dated November 25, 2013.
The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the
MCAI.
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of the Proposed AD
This product has been approved by
the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation
in the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with this State of
Design Authority, they have notified us
of the unsafe condition described in the
MCAI and service information
referenced above. We are proposing this
AD because we evaluated all
information and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:09 Mar 13, 2014
Jkt 232001
Interim Action
We consider this AD interim action.
We are proposing requiring inspection
of the left hand and right hand engine
mounts with a report to the
manufacturer of the results if cracks or
deformation are found. We will work
with the type certificate holder to
evaluate the report results to determine
repetitive inspection intervals and
subsequent terminating action. Based on
this evaluation, we may initiate further
rulemaking action to address the unsafe
condition identified in this AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
will affect 10 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take
about 6 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of
this proposed AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour.
Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of the proposed AD on U.S.
operators to be $5,100, or $510 per
product.
In addition, we estimate that any
necessary follow-on actions would take
about 18 work-hours and require parts
costing $1,570 (per engine mount), for a
cost of $3,100 per product. We have no
way of determining the number of
products that may need these actions.
Paperwork Reduction Act
A federal agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, nor shall a person be subject
to penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid
OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information
required by this AD is 2120–0056. The
paperwork cost associated with this AD
has been detailed in the Costs of
Compliance section of this document
and includes time for reviewing
instructions, as well as completing and
reviewing the collection of information.
Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden
should be directed to the FAA at 800
Independence Ave. SW., Washington,
DC 20591. ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES–200.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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.
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),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, 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.

Discussion
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued AD
No.: 2014-0001, dated January 6, 2014 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for Costruzioni Aeronautiche
Tecnam srl Model P2006T airplanes. The MCAI states:
During a ``100 hours'' inspection of a P2006T aeroplane, one
engine mount Part Number (P/N) 26-7-1200-000 was found cracked on a
node.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
engine damage, possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane and
injury to the occupants.
To address this potential unsafe condition, TECNAM issued
Service Bulletin (SB) 138-CS-Rev0, providing inspection
instructions.
For the reasons described above, this AD requires a one-time
inspection of each engine mount P/N 26-7-1200-000 and, depending on
findings, replacement of the engine mount(s).
This AD is considered an interim action and further AD action
may follow.

0156.
Relevant Service Information
Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl has issued Service Bulletin No.
SB 138-CS, Rev. 0, dated November 25, 2013. The actions described in
this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.
Interim Action
We consider this AD interim action. We are proposing requiring
inspection of the left hand and right hand engine mounts with a report
to the manufacturer of the results if cracks or deformation are found.
We will work with the type certificate holder to evaluate the report
results to determine repetitive inspection intervals and subsequent
terminating action. Based on this evaluation, we may initiate further
rulemaking action to address the unsafe condition identified in this
AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 10 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 6 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $5,100, or $510 per product.
In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 18 work-hours and require parts costing $1,570 (per engine
mount), for a cost of $3,100 per product. We have no way of determining
the number of products that may need these actions.
Paperwork Reduction Act
A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591. ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.
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.
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),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.
