63890 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 179 / Monday, September 18, 2023 / Proposed Rules 
implications under Executive Order 
13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed regulation: 
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 
action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 
(2) Would not affect intrastate 
aviation in Alaska, and 
(3) Would not have a significant 
economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 
safety, Incorporation by reference, 
Safety. 
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 
2021–25–03, Amendment 39–21846 (86 FR 71135, December 15, 2021); and 
■b. Adding the following new 
airworthiness directive: 
Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG: 
Docket No. FAA–2023–1878; Project 
Identifier MCAI–2022–01582–E. 
(a) Comments Due Date 
The FAA must receive comments on this 
airworthiness directive (AD) by November 2, 2023. 
(b) Affected ADs 
This AD replaces AD 2021–25–03, 
Amendment 39–21846 (86 FR 71135, 
December 15, 2021). 
(c) Applicability 
This AD applies to Rolls-Royce 
Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Model Trent 7000– 
72 and Trent 7000–72C engines. 
(d) Subject 
Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) 
Code 7200, Engine (Turbine/Turboprop). (e) Unsafe Condition 
This AD was prompted by the 
manufacturer revising the engine time limits 
manual (TLM) life limits of certain critical rotating parts and updating certain 
maintenance tasks. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent the failure of critical rotating parts. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of one or more engines, loss of thrust control, and loss of the airplane. 
(f) Compliance 
Comply with this AD within the 
compliance times specified, unless already 
done. 
(g) Required Actions 
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 
AD: Perform all required actions within the 
compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2022–0248, dated December 14, 2022 (EASA AD 2022–0248). 
(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2022–0248 
(1) Where EASA AD 2022–0248 defines the 
AMP as the approved Aircraft Maintenance 
Programme containing the tasks on the basis of which the scheduled maintenance is conducted to ensure the continuing airworthiness of each operated engine, this AD defines the AMP as the aircraft maintenance program containing the tasks on the basis of which the scheduled maintenance is conducted to ensure the continuing airworthiness of each operated airplane. 
(2) Where EASA AD 2022–0248 refers to its 
effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD. 
(3) This AD does not require compliance 
with paragraphs (1), (2), (4), and (5) of EASA AD 2022–0248. 
(4) Where paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2022– 
0248 specifies revising the approved AMP within 12 months after the effective date of EASA AD 2022–0248, this AD requires revising the airworthiness limitations section of the existing approved engine maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, within 90 days after the effective date of this AD. 
(5) This AD does not adopt the Remarks 
paragraph of EASA AD 2022–0248. 
(i) Provisions for Alternative Actions and 
Intervals 
After performing the actions required by 
paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative 
actions and associated thresholds and intervals, including life limits, are allowed unless they are approved as specified in the provisions of the ‘‘Ref. Publications’’ section of EASA AD 2022–0248. 
(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance 
(AMOCs) 
(1) The Manager, AIR–520, Continued 
Operational Safety 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 Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of the branch, send it to the attention of the person identified in paragraph (k) of this AD and email to: ANE- AD-AMOC@faa.gov.

Synopsis 
1. On May 19, 2023, the Commission 
released a Report and Order and Further 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (in WT Docket No. 20–443) and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order (in GN Docket No. 22–352).
1In the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM), the Commission investigates the potential to expand terrestrial fixed use or to permit unlicensed use in the 500 megahertz of mid-band spectrum at 12.2–12.7 GHz (12.2 GHz band). In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Commission proposes to repurpose some or all of the 12.7–13.25 GHz (12.7 GHz band) for mobile broadband or other expanded use. Comments in response to the FNPRM and the NPRM 
were due on August 9, 2023, while reply comments were due on September 8, 2023. On August 8, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) denied a prior joint request
2to extend 
by 45 days the comment and reply in this proceeding.
3 
2. On August 23, 2023, the Satellite 
Operators filed a joint request to extend the reply comment deadline by 30- days—from September 8, 2023, to October 10, 2023.
4The Satellite 
Operators argue additional time would benefit all parties by enabling closer review of several technical studies and analyses filed with the comments in the proceeding.
5They assert they plan to 
use the extension to prepare and submit a technical study that responds to the various technical arguments raised by commenters.
6They argue the 
Commission has previously found extensions to be justified when technically complex issues were raised in a proceeding like this one.
7 
3. The Wireless Telecommunications 
Bureau denies the Satellite Operators’ joint request for extension of the reply comment deadline in this proceeding. As set forth in section 1.46 of the Commission’s rules, it is the Commission’s policy that extensions of time shall not be routinely granted.
8In 
this proceeding, the deadline for 
comments was set for 30 days after publication of a summary of the item in the Federal Register, with reply 
comments due 30 days after the comment date.
9These are not unusual 
timeframes for comment and reply cycles in a Commission rulemaking proceeding. Moreover, the issues present in Commission rulemakings are often technically complex in nature; the presence of complex technical issues alone does not provide justification for an extension. Furthermore, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau finds that the Satellite Operators have neither identified specific technical issues that require additional time for analysis nor explained with particularity why such analysis cannot be completed by the current reply comment deadline. In addition, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau notes that this proceeding has been designated permit-but-disclose,
10and parties may 
subsequently submit additional analyses in accordance with the Commission’s ex parte rules.
11For these reasons, the 
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau denies this Second Joint Request. Reply comments in the proceeding were due September 8, 2023. 
Ordering Clause 
4. Accordingly, it is ordered that, 
pursuant to section 4(i) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), and sections 0.131, 0.331, and 1.46 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.131, 0.331, and 1.46, the Joint Request for Extension of Reply Comment Deadline filed by Intelsat License LLC, SES Americom, Inc., Hispasat, S.A., Eutelsat S.A., and Ovzon LLC is denied.
