Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 187 / Thursday, September 30, 2021 / Proposed Rules
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. 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:
a. Removing Airworthiness Directive
2020–21–01, Amendment 39–21274 (85
FR 63440, October 8, 2020); and
b. Adding the following new
airworthiness directive:
Airbus Helicopters: Docket No. FAA–2021–
0839; Project Identifier MCAI–2020–
01697–R.
(a) Comments Due Date
The FAA must receive comments on this
airworthiness directive (AD) action by
November 15, 2021.
(b) Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2020–21–01,
Amendment 39–21274 (85 FR 63440, October
8, 2020) (AD 2020–21–01).
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to the Airbus Helicopters
model helicopters, certificated in any
category, as identified in paragraphs (c)(1)
through (3) of this AD.
(1) Model AS–365N2, AS 365 N3, and SA–
365N1, all serial numbers on which Airbus
Helicopters modification 0763B64 has been
embodied, except those on which Airbus
Helicopters modification 0763C81 has been
embodied.
(2) Model SA–365C1, SA–365C2, and SA–
365N, all serial numbers on which Airbus
Helicopters modification 0763B64 has been
embodied.
(3) Model EC 155B and EC155B1, all serial
numbers, except those on which Airbus
Helicopters modification 0763C81 has been
embodied.
(d) Subject
Joint Aircraft Service Component (JASC)
Code: 6500, Tail Rotor Drive System.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by several reported
occurrences of loss of tightening torque of the
Shur-Lok nut, which serves as a retainer of
the main gear box (MGB) tail rotor (T/R)
drive flange. The FAA is issuing this AD to
detect and address loss of tightening torque
of the Shur-Lok nut. The unsafe condition, if
not addressed, could result in loosening of
the Shur-Lok nut, possibly resulting in
disengagement of the Shur-Lok nut threads,
reduction of T/R drive control, rear
transmission vibrations, and subsequent
reduced control of the helicopter.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.

2020–21–01 With No Changes

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: Currently,
postage for Periodicals pending
authorization is calculated by
completing a PS Form 3541, Postage
Statement-Periodicals, and charging the
price for the applicable class of mail
determined by the eligibility of the
mailpiece. Based on the numerous
pricing differences in Periodicals and
other classes of mail, this process is
labor intensive and does not provide
exact pricing.
The Postal Service is proposing to
revise the process and calculate pending
postage by assigning the existing
applicable class of mail prices based
upon common characteristics of shape
and weight. Each applicable class of
mail price will be expressed as a
percentage from the corresponding
Periodicals price. This new process will
simplify the calculation process during
the authorization review period, and the
refund process when a Periodicals
publication is approved.
Although exempt from the notice and
comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553(b), (c)) regarding proposed
rulemaking by 39 U.S.C. 410(a), the
Postal Service invites public comment
on the following proposed revisions to
Mailing Standards of the United States
Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual
(DMM), incorporated by reference in the
Code of Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR
111.1.
The Postal Service is proposing to
implement this change effective January
2022.
We believe this proposed revision
will provide customers with a more
efficient and easier process.
List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 111

procedure, Postal Service.
Accordingly, 39 CFR part 111 is
proposed to be amended as follows:
