SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On September 14, 2017, at 82 FR
43195, the Federal Register published
our notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM), which proposed to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that
would apply to Sikorsky Model S–76C
helicopters with a Turbomeca, S.A.,
Arriel 2S1 or Arriel 2S2 engine with an
engine CPT part number (P/N) 76900–
01821–104 installed. The NPRM was
prompted by 20 reports of OEI incidents
resulting from wear of a CPT. One of
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
23355
these incidents resulted in a rejected
takeoff to an unprepared site.
The NPRM proposed to require initial
and recurring inspections of each CPT
by measuring resistance, linearity
resistance movement, and differential
voltage, and depending on the outcome
of the inspections, replacing the CPT.
The proposed requirements were
intended to detect wear of a CPT prior
to it causing an OEI condition and
possible emergency landing.
Comments
After our NPRM was published, we
received comments from Sikorsky.
Request To Include an Additional Part
to the AD
Sikorsky requested the AD also apply
to engine CPT P/N 76900–01821–105. In
support of this request, Sikorsky stated
that engine CPT P/N 76900–01821–105
is a new replacement for engine CPT P/
N 76900–01821–104, which does not
differ substantially from engine CPT P/
N 76900–01821–104 and therefore
should be subject to the periodic
inspections.
We partially agree. While engine CPT
P/N 76900–01821–105 may be subject to
the same unsafe condition because of
design similarity, adding this part
would increase the scope of the AD.
Therefore, we plan to publish another
NPRM for P/N 76900–01821–105 to give
the public an opportunity to comment
on those requirements.
Request To Remove a Test Box From
the AD
Sikorsky requested we remove Test
Box P/N 76700–40009–042 and only
allow the use of Test Box P/N 76700–
40009–043 to comply with the AD. In
support of this request, Sikorsky stated
it considers Test Box P/N 76700–40009–
042 obsolete because Test Box P/N
76700–40009–043 is easier to use and
provides less subjective results.
We disagree. The proposed AD
provided procedures for both test boxes
for the repetitive inspections. While
Test Box P/N 76700–40009–043 may be
more efficient, the use of Test Box P/N
76700–40009–042 also addresses the
unsafe condition. We do not find
justification for requiring operators who
have Test Box P/N 76700–40009–042 to
upgrade or replace their test box.
However, we have revised the initial
inspection requirements of the AD to
allow the use of Test Box P/N 76700–
40009–043 as an option. We have also
revised the repetitive inspection
procedures to allow the use of updated
testing procedures for Test Box P/N
76700–40009–043, which had not been
E:\FR\FM\21MYR1.SGM
21MYR1
23356
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 98 / Monday, May 21, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
issued at the time we published the
proposed AD, as an option.
Lastly, Sikorsky requested we revise
the unsafe condition to more accurately
describe that it would be a momentary
OEI condition. In support, Sikorsky
stated that the unsafe condition
statement in the proposed AD could be
misinterpreted as an in-flight shutdown
or engine failure. For this particular CPT
failure, Sikorsky stated normal engine
operation is restored within
approximately two seconds without the
need for any specific action by the pilot.
We agree and have made the
requested change accordingly.
FAA’s Determination
We have reviewed the relevant
information, considered the comments
received, and determined that an unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design and that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
requirements as proposed with the
changes described previously and 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.
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
Interim Action
We consider this AD to be an interim
action. The design approval holder is
currently developing a modification that
will address the unsafe condition
identified in this AD. Once this
modification is developed, approved,
and available, we might consider
additional rulemaking.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
We reviewed Sikorsky S–76
Helicopter Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
76–73–8, Revision A, dated December 4,
2015 (ASB 76–73–8A), which specifies
a one-time inspection of total resistance,
linearity resistant movement, excitation
voltage, and differential voltage of the
CPTs using CPT Text Box P/N 76700–
40009–042.
We reviewed Sikorsky Maintenance
Manual, SA 4047–76C–2, Temporary
Revision No. 73–07, dated August 17,
2016 (TR 73–07), which specifies
procedures for removing, installing, and
adjusting the CPTs, and inspections of
total resistance, linearity resistant
movement, excitation voltage, and
differential voltage of the CPTs. TR 73–
07 also divides the procedures by CPT
Test Box P/N by providing separate
procedures for test boxes modified by
Sikorsky Special Service Instructions
(SSI) No. 76–96, dated August 19, 2016,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:54 May 18, 2018
Jkt 244001
which is not incorporated by reference
in this AD.
We also reviewed Sikorsky
Maintenance Manual, SA 4047–76C–2,
Temporary Revision No. 73–08, dated
September 20, 2017 (TR 73–08), which
updates the procedures in TR 73–07. TR
73–08 does not divide the procedures by
CPT Test Box P/N as it eliminates the
procedures for CPT Text Box P/N
76700–40009–042. TR 73–08 omits
obsolete figures and it provides
inspection results as pass or fail.
This service information is reasonably
available because the interested parties
have access to it through their normal
course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section.
Other Related Service Information
We reviewed Sikorsky S–76
Helicopter ASB 76–73–8, Basic Issue,
dated August 21, 2015 (ASB 76–73–8).
ASB 76–73–8 contains the same
procedures as ASB 76–73–8A; however,
ASB 76–73–8A updates Sikorsky’s
contact information for submitting a
purchase order.
We also reviewed Sikorsky SA 4047–
76C–2–1, Temporary Revision No. 5–
181, dated August 21, 2015 (TR 5–181);
Task 5–20–00 of Sikorsky Airworthiness
Limitations and Inspection
Requirements, Publication No. SA
4047–76C–2–1, Revision 24, dated
December 15, 2015 (Task 5–20–00); and
Section 73–22–04 of Chapter 73 Engine
Fuel and Control, of Sikorsky
Maintenance Manual, SA 4047–76C–2,
Revision 31, dated December 15, 2015
(Section 73–22–04). TR 5–181 specifies
adding CPT inspections referenced in
Section 73–22–04 to the 300-hour
inspection checklist contained in Task
5–20–00.
We reviewed Sikorksy Safety
Advisory No. SSA–S76–11–0002, dated
May 17, 2011. This service information
provides precautionary instructions to
minimize hazardous situations that
might result from an unreliable CPT.
We also reviewed Sikorsky SSI No.
76–96, dated August 19, 2016, which
specifies procedures to modify CPT Test
Box P/N 76700–40009–042 and reidentify it as P/N 76700–40009–043.
This one-time modification reduces the
instructions to inspect the CPT and
improves the inspection accuracy.
We reviewed Sikorsky SSI No. 76–87,
dated July 24, 2015, and SSI No. 76–
87A, Revision A, dated August 21, 2015.
These SSIs specify a one-time
inspection of total resistance, linearity
resistant movement, excitation voltage,
and differential voltage of the CPTs
using CPT Text Box P/N 76700–40009–
042.

Differences Between This AD and the
Service Information
Sikorsky ASB 76–73–8A, TR 73–07,
and TR 73–08 specify using and
returning Sikorsky’s CPT data sheet and
any failed CPT to Sikorsky. This AD
does not.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 90
helicopters of U.S. Registry. We estimate
that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this AD.
Labor costs are estimated at $85 per
work-hour.
The inspections will take about 3.75
work-hours for an estimated cost of
$319 per helicopter and $28,710 for the
U.S. fleet per inspection cycle.
Replacing a CPT will take about 6 workhours and parts will cost $3,072 for an
estimated replacement cost of $3,582.
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
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
E:\FR\FM\21MYR1.SGM
21MYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 98 / Monday, May 21, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
(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:
I. Background
In the Federal Register of June 17,
2015 (80 FR 34650), we issued a final
determination that there is no longer a
consensus among qualified experts that
PHOs are GRAS for any use in human
food. Because PHOs are the primary
dietary source of IP–TFA, FDA’s
evaluation of the GRAS status of PHOs
centered on the trans fatty acid
component of these fats and oils. We
based our determination on available
scientific evidence and the findings of
expert scientific panels establishing the
health risks associated with the
consumption of trans fat. FDA’s
determination identified significant
human health risks, namely an
increased risk of coronary heart disease,
associated with the consumption of
trans fat (78 FR 67169 at 67172; 80 FR
34650 at 34659).
The order established a 3-year
compliance date, to June 18, 2018, to
allow time for food manufacturers using
PHOs to identify suitable replacement
ingredients for PHOs and to reformulate
and modify labeling of affected
products. The 3-year compliance date
was also intended to allow time for
submission and review and, if
applicable requirements were met,
approval of food additive petitions for
uses of PHOs for which industry or
other interested individuals believe that
safe conditions of use may be
prescribed. Finally, this compliance
date was also intended to give
manufacturers time to exhaust existing
inventories and give distributors and
retailers time to distribute products with
PHOs (80 FR 34650 at 34669). We based
the compliance date on the information
available, including comments on the
proposed order (80 FR 34650 at 34668
to 34669).
In the 2015 final order, we stated that
food that is adulterated may be subject
to seizure and distributors,
manufacturers, and other parties
responsible for such food may be subject
to injunction. We also reminded
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
distributors and other members of the
food industry that they have an
obligation to ensure that the food they
manufacture, distribute, sell, or
otherwise market complies with the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FD&C Act) (80 FR 34650 at 34655).
In the Federal Register of October 28,
2015 (80 FR 65978), we published a
document announcing that we had filed
a food additive petition submitted by
the Grocery Manufacturers Association
(GMA) seeking approval for certain uses
of PHOs in or on select foods. We
initially filed the food additive petition
on October 1, 2015. GMA subsequently
amended their food additive petition,
and it was re-filed on March 7, 2017.
The amended food additive petition
requested that the food additive
regulations be amended to provide for
the safe use of PHOs in certain food
applications. Elsewhere in this issue of
the Federal Register, we have published
a document announcing our denial of
this food additive petition.
For purposes of this document
extending the compliance date for
certain uses of PHOs, we refer to the
specified uses of PHOs in GMA’s food
additive petition as the ‘‘petitioned
uses’’ and all other uses of PHOs not
authorized by FDA as ‘‘non-petitioned
uses.’’ We refer to ‘‘manufacturing’’ in
this document as making food from one
or more ingredients, or synthesizing,
preparing, treating, modifying or
manipulating food, including food crops
or ingredients. See 21 CFR 1.227.
On March 23, 2018, the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2018, (Pub. L. 115–
141) was enacted into law. Section 738
of the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2018, provided that no PHOs, as defined
in our declaratory order, shall be
deemed unsafe within the meaning of
section 409(a) of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 348(a)) and no food that is
introduced or delivered for introduction
into interstate commerce that bears or
contains a partially hydrogenated oil
shall be deemed adulterated under
sections 402(a)(1) or (a)(2)(C)(i) of the
FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(1) or
(a)(2)(C)(i)) by virtue of bearing or
containing a partially hydrogenated oil,
until June 18, 2018.
II. Extension of the Compliance Date for
Certain Uses
We have been informed by a number
of trade associations representing many
segments of the food industry that they
have replaced the PHO uses that are not
covered by the food additive petition
(the non-petitioned uses) and thus will
be able to stop using PHOs by the June
18, 2018, compliance date (Ref. 1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On September 14, 2017, at 82 FR 43195, the Federal Register
published our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Sikorsky Model
S-76C helicopters with a Turbomeca, S.A., Arriel 2S1 or Arriel 2S2
engine with an engine CPT part number (P/N) 76900-01821-104 installed.
The NPRM was prompted by 20 reports of OEI incidents resulting from
wear of a CPT. One of these incidents resulted in a rejected takeoff to
an unprepared site.
The NPRM proposed to require initial and recurring inspections of
each CPT by measuring resistance, linearity resistance movement, and
differential voltage, and depending on the outcome of the inspections,
replacing the CPT. The proposed requirements were intended to detect
wear of a CPT prior to it causing an OEI condition and possible
emergency landing.
Comments
After our NPRM was published, we received comments from Sikorsky.
Request To Include an Additional Part to the AD
Sikorsky requested the AD also apply to engine CPT P/N 76900-01821-
105. In support of this request, Sikorsky stated that engine CPT P/N
76900-01821-105 is a new replacement for engine CPT P/N 76900-01821-
104, which does not differ substantially from engine CPT P/N 76900-
01821-104 and therefore should be subject to the periodic inspections.
We partially agree. While engine CPT P/N 76900-01821-105 may be
subject to the same unsafe condition because of design similarity,
adding this part would increase the scope of the AD. Therefore, we plan
to publish another NPRM for P/N 76900-01821-105 to give the public an
opportunity to comment on those requirements.
Request To Remove a Test Box From the AD
Sikorsky requested we remove Test Box P/N 76700-40009-042 and only
allow the use of Test Box P/N 76700-40009-043 to comply with the AD. In
support of this request, Sikorsky stated it considers Test Box P/N
76700-40009-042 obsolete because Test Box P/N 76700-40009-043 is easier
to use and provides less subjective results.
We disagree. The proposed AD provided procedures for both test
boxes for the repetitive inspections. While Test Box P/N 76700-40009-
043 may be more efficient, the use of Test Box P/N 76700-40009-042 also
addresses the unsafe condition. We do not find justification for
requiring operators who have Test Box P/N 76700-40009-042 to upgrade or
replace their test box. However, we have revised the initial inspection
requirements of the AD to allow the use of Test Box P/N 76700-40009-043
as an option. We have also revised the repetitive inspection procedures
to allow the use of updated testing procedures for Test Box P/N 76700-
40009-043, which had not been
[[Page 23356]]
issued at the time we published the proposed AD, as an option.
Lastly, Sikorsky requested we revise the unsafe condition to more
accurately describe that it would be a momentary OEI condition. In
support, Sikorsky stated that the unsafe condition statement in the
proposed AD could be misinterpreted as an in-flight shutdown or engine
failure. For this particular CPT failure, Sikorsky stated normal engine
operation is restored within approximately two seconds without the need
for any specific action by the pilot.
We agree and have made the requested change accordingly.
FAA's Determination
We have reviewed the relevant information, considered the comments
received, and determined that an unsafe condition exists and is likely
to exist or develop on other products of the same type design and that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD requirements
as proposed with the changes described previously and 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.
Interim Action
We consider this AD to be an interim action. The design approval
holder is currently developing a modification that will address the
unsafe condition identified in this AD. Once this modification is
developed, approved, and available, we might consider additional
rulemaking.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed Sikorsky S-76 Helicopter Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
76-73-8, Revision A, dated December 4, 2015 (ASB 76-73-8A), which
specifies a one-time inspection of total resistance, linearity
resistant movement, excitation voltage, and differential voltage of the
CPTs using CPT Text Box P/N 76700-40009-042.
We reviewed Sikorsky Maintenance Manual, SA 4047-76C-2, Temporary
Revision No. 73-07, dated August 17, 2016 (TR 73-07), which specifies
procedures for removing, installing, and adjusting the CPTs, and
inspections of total resistance, linearity resistant movement,
excitation voltage, and differential voltage of the CPTs. TR 73-07 also
divides the procedures by CPT Test Box P/N by providing separate
procedures for test boxes modified by Sikorsky Special Service
Instructions (SSI) No. 76-96, dated August 19, 2016, which is not
incorporated by reference in this AD.
We also reviewed Sikorsky Maintenance Manual, SA 4047-76C-2,
Temporary Revision No. 73-08, dated September 20, 2017 (TR 73-08),
which updates the procedures in TR 73-07. TR 73-08 does not divide the
procedures by CPT Test Box P/N as it eliminates the procedures for CPT
Text Box P/N 76700-40009-042. TR 73-08 omits obsolete figures and it
provides inspection results as pass or fail.
This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.
Other Related Service Information
We reviewed Sikorsky S-76 Helicopter ASB 76-73-8, Basic Issue,
dated August 21, 2015 (ASB 76-73-8). ASB 76-73-8 contains the same
procedures as ASB 76-73-8A; however, ASB 76-73-8A updates Sikorsky's
contact information for submitting a purchase order.
We also reviewed Sikorsky SA 4047-76C-2-1, Temporary Revision No.
5-181, dated August 21, 2015 (TR 5-181); Task 5-20-00 of Sikorsky
Airworthiness Limitations and Inspection Requirements, Publication No.
SA 4047-76C-2-1, Revision 24, dated December 15, 2015 (Task 5-20-00);
and Section 73-22-04 of Chapter 73 Engine Fuel and Control, of Sikorsky
Maintenance Manual, SA 4047-76C-2, Revision 31, dated December 15, 2015
(Section 73-22-04). TR 5-181 specifies adding CPT inspections
referenced in Section 73-22-04 to the 300-hour inspection checklist
contained in Task 5-20-00.
We reviewed Sikorksy Safety Advisory No. SSA-S76-11-0002, dated May
17, 2011. This service information provides precautionary instructions
to minimize hazardous situations that might result from an unreliable
CPT.
We also reviewed Sikorsky SSI No. 76-96, dated August 19, 2016,
which specifies procedures to modify CPT Test Box P/N 76700-40009-042
and re-identify it as P/N 76700-40009-043. This one-time modification
reduces the instructions to inspect the CPT and improves the inspection
accuracy.
We reviewed Sikorsky SSI No. 76-87, dated July 24, 2015, and SSI
No. 76-87A, Revision A, dated August 21, 2015. These SSIs specify a
one-time inspection of total resistance, linearity resistant movement,
excitation voltage, and differential voltage of the CPTs using CPT Text
Box P/N 76700-40009-042.
Differences Between This AD and the Service Information
Sikorsky ASB 76-73-8A, TR 73-07, and TR 73-08 specify using and
returning Sikorsky's CPT data sheet and any failed CPT to Sikorsky.
This AD does not.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 90 helicopters of U.S. Registry.
We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order to
comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour.
The inspections will take about 3.75 work-hours for an estimated
cost of $319 per helicopter and $28,710 for the U.S. fleet per
inspection cycle. Replacing a CPT will take about 6 work-hours and
parts will cost $3,072 for an estimated replacement cost of $3,582.
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
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
[[Page 23357]]
(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.
