AMS is committed to complying with the E-Government Act to promote the use of the internet and other information technologies to provide increased opportunities for citizen access to Government information and services, and for other purposes. USDA has not identified any relevant Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this proposed rule. 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/ MarketingOrdersSmallBusinessGuide. Any questions about the compliance guide should be sent to Jeffrey Smutny at the previously mentioned address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. A 15-day comment period is provided to allow interested persons to respond to this proposed rule. Fifteen days is deemed appropriate because: (1) The 2014–2015 fiscal period begins on June 1, 2014, and a final determination on the salable quantities and allotment percentages should be made prior to handlers purchasing from, or handling on behalf of, producers any oil for the ensuing marketing year; and (2) handlers are aware of this action, which was recommended by the Committee at a public meeting and is similar to other salable quantities and allotment percentages issued in past years.

We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this E:\FR\FM\14MRP1.SGM 14MRP1 14448 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 50 / Friday, March 14, 2014 / Proposed Rules proposed AD because of those comments. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to https:// regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this proposed AD. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1.

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.

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.

[[Page 14449]]

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by April 28, 2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl Model 
P2006T airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 71: Power Plant.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness 
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another 
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation 
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as a cracked engine 
mount. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracked or 
deformed engine mounts, which could lead to engine damage, possibly 
resulting in damage to the airplane and injury to the occupants.

(f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the following actions as specified in 
paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(3) of this AD:
    (1) For airplanes with 600 hours time-in-service (TIS) or more 
as of the effective date of this AD: Within the next 25 hours TIS 
after the effective date of this AD or within the next 30 days after 
the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, inspect the 
left hand and right hand engine mounts, part number (P/N) 26-7-1200-
000, for cracks and deformation following Costruzioni Aeronautiche 
TECNAM Service Bulletin No. SB 138-CS, Rev. 0, dated November 25, 
2013.
    (2) For airplanes with less than 600 hours TIS as of the 
effective date of this AD: After accumulating 600 hours TIS but 
before exceeding 625 hours TIS, inspect the left hand and right hand 
engine mounts, P/N 26-7-1200-000, for cracks and deformation 
following Costruzioni Aeronautiche TECNAM Service Bulletin No. SB 
138-CS, Rev. 0, dated November 25, 2013.
    (3) If a crack or any other deformation is found during the 
inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) or (f)(2) of this AD, before 
further flight, you must contact Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl 
to obtain FAA-approved repair instructions approved specifically for 
compliance with this AD and incorporate those instructions. You can 
find contact information for Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl in 
paragraph (h) of this AD. Use the occurrence report in Costruzioni 
Aeronautiche TECNAM Service Bulletin No. SB 138-CS, Rev. 0, dated 
November 25, 2013.

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, 
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this 
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send 
information to ATTN: Albert Mercado, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small 
Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 
64106; telephone: (816) 329-4119; fax: (816) 329-4090; email: 
albert.mercado@faa.gov. Before using any approved AMOC on any 
airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate 
principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office 
(FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain 
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these 
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered 
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority 
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product 
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in 
this AD, a federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person 
is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a 
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 OMB Control Number for this information collection is 
2120-0056. Public reporting for this collection of information is 
estimated to be approximately 5 minutes per response, including the 
time for reviewing instructions, completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. All responses to this collection of 
information are mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this 
burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to
