Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 160 / Monday, August 23, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
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) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, and
(3) 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.

(c) Applicability
This AD applies to Leonardo S.p.a. Model
A119 and AW119 MKII helicopters,
certificated in any category, with 90-degree
tail rotor gearbox (TGB) part number (P/N)
109–0440–06–101 or 109–0440–06–105, and
with TGB shaft P/N 109–0443–03–107 having
a serial number (S/N) listed in Table 1 of
Leonardo Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin
No. 119–090, Revision A, dated September
14, 2020 (ASB 119–090), installed.
Note 1 to paragraph (c): A TGB shaft is also
referred to as a mast gear assembly.
(d) Subject
Joint Aircraft Service Component (JASC)
Code: 6510, Tail Rotor Drive Shaft.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by two occurrences
of corrosion on the internal surface of the
TGB shaft. The FAA is issuing this AD to
detect corrosion of the TGB shaft. The unsafe
condition, if not addressed, could result in
failure of the tail rotor, possibly resulting in
reduced control of the helicopter.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
(g) Required Actions
(1) Within 25 hours time-in-service (TIS) or
3 months, whichever occurs first after the
effective date of this AD, and thereafter at
intervals not to exceed 6 months, borescope
inspect the entire internal surface of the TGB
shaft for corrosion. Refer to Detail A of Figure
1 of ASB 119–090, for a depiction of the
entry point for the borescope. If there is
corrosion, before further flight, remove the
TGB from service.
(2) As of the effective date of this AD, do
not install on any helicopter any TGB P/N
109–0440–06–101 or 109–0440–06–105 that
has TGB shaft P/N 109–0443–03–107 having
an S/N listed in Table 1 of ASB 119–090,
unless the actions required by paragraph
(g)(1) of this AD have been accomplished.
(h) Special Flight Permits
A special flight permit may be permitted
provided that there are no passengers
onboard.
(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs)
(1) The Manager, International Validation
Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In
accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your
request to your principal inspector or local

Designations and Reporting Points,
effective September 15, 2020, listed
Class A, B, C, D and E airspace areas;
air traffic service routes; and reporting

the periodic integration of these final

Designations and Reporting Points. The
Director of the Federal Register has
approved the incorporation by reference
of the Order in 14 CFR 71.1, as of

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
action: (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); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a regulatory evaluation as
the anticipated impact is so minimal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
FAA Order JO 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
effective September 15, 2020, listed Class A, B, C, D and E airspace
areas; air traffic service routes; and reporting points. Due to the
length of these descriptions, the FAA requested approval from the
Office of the Federal Register to incorporate the material by reference
in the Federal Aviation Regulations 14 CFR 71.1, effective September
15, 2020, through September 15, 2021. During the incorporation by
reference period, the FAA processed all proposed changes of the
airspace listings in FAA Order JO 7400.11E in full text as proposed
rule documents in the Federal Register. Likewise, all amendments of
these listings were published in full text as final rules in the
Federal Register. This rule reflects the periodic integration of these
final rule amendments into a revised edition of FAA Order JO 7400.11F,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points. The Director of the Federal
Register has approved the incorporation by reference of the Order in 14
CFR 71.1, as of September 15, 2021, through September 15, 2022. This
rule also explains the procedures the FAA will use to amend the
airspace designations incorporated by reference in part 71 14 CFR 71.5,
71.15, 71.31, 71.33, 71.41, 71.51, 71.61, 71.71, and 71.901 are also
updated to reflect the incorporation by reference of FAA Order JO
7400.11F.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this action: (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. This
action neither places any new restrictions or requirements on the
public, nor changes the dimensions or operation requirements of the
airspace listings incorporated by reference in part 71.
