Model AMT–200 and AMT–300 Series Gliders AGENCY : Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION : Final rule. SUMMARY : We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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: It has been found that the coolant liquid EVANS NPG + is a flammable fluid. The engine liquid cooling system of the affected Aeromot aircrafts is not designed to operate with flammable liquids. Therefore, there is an unacceptable engine fire risk associated with the use of Evans NPG + fluid. DATES : This AD becomes effective July 17, 2009. On July 17, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD. ADDRESSES : You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http:// www.regulations.gov or in person at Document Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M–30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.

27918 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 112 / Friday, June 12, 2009 / Rules and Regulations SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on April 8, 2009 (74 FR 15894). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: It has been found that the coolant liquid EVANS NPG + is a flammable fluid. The engine liquid cooling system of the affected Aeromot aircrafts is not designed to operate with flammable liquids. Therefore, there is an unacceptable engine fire risk associated with the use of Evans NPG + fluid. The MCAI requires replacement of the EVANS NPG + coolant liquid, application of new red lines on the engine cylinder head temperature gauge, replacement of the engine radiator cap, and insertion of information into the airplane flight manual (AFM). We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed. Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information provided in the MCAI and related service information. We might also have required different actions in this AD from those in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are highlighted in a Note within the AD. Costs of Compliance Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD will affect 55 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about 1 work- hour per product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $30 per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $6,050, or $110 per product. 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 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 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); 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. We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD Docket. Examining the AD Docket You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http:// www.regulations.gov ; or in person at the Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information. The street address for the Docket Office (telephone (800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment ■ Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES ■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] ■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new AD: 2009–12–14 Aeromot-Industria Mecanico Metalurgica ltda.: Amendment 39– 15937; Docket No. FAA–2009–0323; Directorate Identifier 2009–CE–012–AD. Effective Date (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective July 17, 2009. Affected ADs (b) None. Applicability (c) This AD applies to all serial numbers of the following gliders that are certificated in any category: (1) Model AMT–100 gliders as modified to Model AMT–200 gliders; and (2) Models AMT–200, AMT–200S, and AMT–300 gliders. Subject (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 73: Engine Fuel & Control. Reason (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: It has been found that the coolant liquid EVANS NPG + is a flammable fluid. The engine liquid cooling system of the affected Aeromot aircrafts is not designed to operate with flammable liquids. Therefore, there is an unacceptable engine fire risk associated with the use of EVANS NPG + fluid. Since this condition may occur in other aircraft of the same type and affects flight safety, an immediate corrective action is required. Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance with this AD in the indicated time limit without prior notice. The MCAI requires replacement of the EVANS NPG + coolant liquid, application of new red lines on the engine cylinder head temperature gauge, replacement of the engine radiator cap, and insertion of information into the airplane flight manual (AFM).

ACTION : Final rule; technical amendment. SUMMARY : The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental new animal drug application (NADA) filed by Alpharma Inc. The supplemental NADA provides for revised Blue Bird labeling for chlortetracycline Type A medicated articles used to formulate Type B and Type C medicated feeds in various classes of livestock and poultry. DATES : This rule is effective June 12, 2009. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Timothy Schell, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV–128), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240–276–8116, e- mail: timothy.schell@fda.hhs.gov . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Alpharma Inc., 440 Rte. 22, Bridgewater, NJ 08807, filed a supplement to NADA 46–699 that provides revised Blue Bird labeling for CHLORMAX (chlortetracycline) Type A medicated articles used to formulate Type B and Type C medicated feeds in various classes of livestock and poultry. The supplemental NADA is approved as of May 22, 2009, and the regulations are amended in § 558.128 (21 CFR 558.128) to reflect the approval. In addition, § 558.128 is amended to differentiate certain withdrawal times in cattle for two chlortetracycline Type A medicated articles sponsored by Alpharma Inc. under separate NADAs and to correct the spelling of a turkey pathogen. Approval of this supplemental NADA did not require review of additional safety or effectiveness data or information. Therefore, a freedom of information summary is not required. The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 that this action is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required. This rule does not meet the definition of ‘‘rule’’ in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ‘‘particular applicability.’’ Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements in 5 U.S.C. 801–808.
