The sponsor's notification must address all entitlement funds apportioned for fiscal year 2013, as well as any funds unused from prior years. After Friday, July 26, 2013, the FAA will carry over all remaining entitlement funds, and the funds will not be available again until at least the beginning of fiscal year 2014.

Special Conditions: Turbomeca Ardiden 3K Turboshaft Engine
Document Number: 2013-07662
Type: Rule
Date: 2013-04-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are issuing these special conditions for the Turbomeca Ardiden 3K model engines. This engine model will have a novel or unusual design feature that is a 30-minute all engines operating (AEO) power rating for hovering at increased power (HIP). This rating is primarily intended for high-power hovering operations that are normal mission functions. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the FAA considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on Surplus Property Release at Sikorsky Memorial Airport, in Bridgeport, CT
Document Number: 2013-07660
Type: Notice
Date: 2013-04-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. 47153(d), notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from Sikorsky Memorial Airport, in Bridgeport, CT to waive the surplus property requirements for approximately 11 acres of airport property located at Sikorsky Memorial Airport, in Bridgeport, CT. The subject parcels have been used for non-aeronautical purposes for over 25 years under temporary, partial release of surplus property requirements. It has been determined through study and master planning that the subject parcels will not be needed for aeronautical purposes, rather the proceeds of the sale will be used as the sponsors share of needed safety area improvement projects. Full and permanent relief of the surplus property requirements on this specific parcel will allow the airport to make the necessary aviation-safety improvements on the airfield.

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines
Document Number: 2013-07510
Type: Rule
Date: 2013-04-03
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8C and CF34-8E turbofan engines with certain part numbers (P/N) of operability bleed valves (OBV) installed. This AD was prompted by three failure events of ring lock fuel fittings on the OBV. Two of those events led to an engine fire. This AD requires the affected OBVs be removed from service and replaced with OBVs eligible for installation. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of OBV ring lock fuel fittings, engine fuel leakage, uncontrolled fire, and damage to the airplane.
