Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca 

S.A. Arriel 2B and 2B1 Turboshaft 

Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to revise an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

the products listed above. This 

proposed 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: Since issuance 

of AD 2007–0109, Turbome ́ca has 

released modification TU166 which 

consists in inserting HP blade dampers 

between the HP disc and the HP blade 

platform. Introduction of these dampers 

has demonstrated to limit axial 

displacement of the HP blade relative to 

the disk in case of blade lock rupture or 

opening, therefore eliminating the need 

for inspection and replacement. 

We are proposing this AD to prevent 

an uncommanded in-flight engine 

shutdown which could result in an 

emergency autorotation landing or an 

accident. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 28, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:

You may review the DOT’s complete 

Privacy Act Statement in the Federal 

Register published on April 11, 2000

Discussion 

On April 16, 2009, the FAA issued 

AD 2009–09–03, Amendment 39–15889 

(74 FR 18981, April 27, 2009). That AD 

requires performing an initial and 

repetitive borescope inspection of the 

engine for rearward displacement of the 

high-pressure turbine (HP) blades. 

Actions Since AD 2009–09–03 Was 

Issued 

Since that AD was issued, the 

European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2007–0109R1, 

dated November 9, 2009 (referred to 

after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Since issuance of AD 2007–0109, 

Turbome ́ca has released modification TU166 

which consists in inserting HP blade 

dampers between the HP disc and the HP 

blade platform. Introduction of these 

dampers has demonstrated to limit axial 

displacement of the HP blade relative to the 

disk in case of blade lock rupture or opening, 

therefore eliminating the need for inspection 

and replacement. 

Therefore, this AD revises AD 2007–0109 

by retaining the same requirements of AD 

2007–0109 except that applicability is 

limited to ARRIEL 2B, 2B1 and 2B1A engines 

which do not incorporate modification 

TU166. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Turbomeca S.A. has issued 

Mandatory Service Bulletin No. 292 72 

2825, Version B, dated September 21, 

2009. The actions described in this 

service information are intended to 

correct the unsafe condition identified 

in the EASA AD. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of France, and is 

approved for operation in the United 

States. Pursuant to our bilateral 

agreement with France, they have 

notified us of the unsafe condition 

described in the EASA AD and service 

information referenced above. We are 

proposing this AD because we evaluated 

all information provided by EASA, and 

determined the unsafe condition exists 

and is likely to exist or develop on other 

products of the same type design. This 

proposed AD would require inspecting 

for HP blade rearward displacement. 

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 required different actions in this AD 

from those in the MCAI in order to 

follow FAA policies. Any such 

differences are described in a separate 

paragraph of the AD. These 

requirements take precedence over the 

actions copied from the MCAI. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 248 products of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it would 

take about 2 work-hours per product to 

comply with this proposed AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $42,160. 

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 proposed AD 

would not have federalism 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 this proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

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 proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

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 

removing Amendment 39–15889 and 

adding the following new AD: 

Turbomeca S.A.: Docket No. FAA–2007– 

28077; Directorate Identifier 2007–NE– 

20–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by June 28, 

2010. 

Affected Airworthiness Directives (ADs) 

(b) This AD revises AD 2009–09–03, 

Amendment 39–15889. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Turbomeca S.A. 

Arriel 2B and 2B1 turboshaft engines that 

don’t incorporate modification TU166. These 

engines are installed on, but not limited to, 

Eurocopter AS 350 B3 and EC 130 B4 

helicopters. 

Reason 

(d) This AD results from: 

Since issuance of AD 2007–0109, 

Turbome ́ca has released modification TU166 

which consists in inserting HP blade 

dampers between the HP disc and the HP 

blade platform. Introduction of these 

dampers has demonstrated to limit axial 

displacement of the HP blade relative to the 

disk in case of blade lock rupture or opening, 

therefore eliminating the need for inspection 

and replacement. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent an 

uncommanded in-flight engine shutdown 

which could result in an emergency 

autorotation landing or an accident. 

Actions and Compliance 

(e) Unless already done, do the following 

actions: 

Initial Inspection 

(1) Perform an initial high-pressure (HP) 

turbine borescope inspection according to 

Turbomeca S.A. Mandatory Service Bulletin 

(MSB) No. 292 72 2825, Version B, dated 

September 21, 2009, or earlier version as 

follows: 

(i) For engines with fewer than 500 hours 

and 450 cycles since new or since the last HP 

turbine borescope inspection, inspect before 

reaching 600 hours or 500 cycles whichever 

occurs first. Replace HP turbine modules 

with rearward turbine blade displacement 

greater than 0.5 mm. 

(ii) For the remaining engines, inspect 

within the next 100 hours. Replace HP 

turbine modules with rearward turbine blade 

displacement greater than 0.5 mm. 

Repetitive Inspections 

(2) Perform repetitive HP turbine borescope 

inspections according to Turbomeca S.A. 

MSB No. 292 72 2825, Version B, dated 

September 21, 2009 or earlier version: 

(i) Within 600 hours or 500 cycles from the 

previous inspection, whichever occurs first, 

if the rearward displacement of the turbine 

blades was less than 0.2 mm. Replace HP 

turbine modules with rearward turbine blade 

displacement greater than 0.5 mm. 

(ii) Within 100 hours of the previous 

inspection if the rearward displacement of 

the turbine blades was between 0.2 mm and 

0.5 mm. Replace HP turbine modules with 

rearward turbine blade displacement greater 

than 0.5 mm. 

Optional Terminating Action 

(f) Incorporating modification TU166 

terminates the repetitive inspection 

requirements of paragraphs (e)(2)(i) and 

(e)(2)(ii) of this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

(g) For clarification, we restructured the 

actions and compliance wording of this AD. 

(h) We deleted the Turbomeca reporting 

requirement from the AD. 

(i) Although EASA Airworthiness Directive 

2007–0109R1, dated November 9, 2009, 

applies to the Arriel 2B1A engine, this AD 

does not apply to that model because it has 

no U.S. type certificate. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(j) The Manager, Engine Certification 

Office, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

Related Information 

(k) Refer to EASA Airworthiness Directive 

2007–0109R1, dated November 9, 2009, and 

Turbomeca S.A. MSB No. 292 72 2825,

38 CFR Part 17 

RIN 2900–AN41 

Hospital and Outpatient Care for 

Veterans Released From Incarceration 

to Transitional Housing 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its 

regulations to authorize VA to provide 

hospital and outpatient care to a veteran 

in a program that provides transitional 

housing upon release from incarceration 

in a prison or jail. The proposed rule 

would permit VA to work with these 

veterans while they are in these 

programs with the goal of continuing to 

work with them after their release. This 

would assist in preventing 

homelessness in this population of 

veterans. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 12, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

submitted through http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1710(h) of title 38, United States Code, 

states that VA is not required ‘‘to furnish 

care to a veteran to whom another 

agency of Federal, State, or local 

government has a duty to provide care 

in an institution of such government.’’ 

The implementing regulation for section 

1710(h) is 38 CFR 17.38(c)(5). Generally, 

§ 17.38(c)(5) bars VA from providing 

‘‘[h]ospital and outpatient care for a 

veteran who is either a patient or inmate 

in an institution of another government 

agency if that agency has a duty to give 

the care or services.’’ Typically, 

government agencies have a duty to 

provide medical care to inmates who 

have been released from incarceration in 

a prison or jail to a temporary housing 

program (such as a community 

residential re-entry center or halfway 

house). 

This duty may exist even though the 

responsible government agency expects
