AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to revise 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2010–17– 

11R1, which applies to all Dowty 

Propellers R408/6–123–F/17 model 

propellers. AD 2010–17–11R1 requires 

initial and repetitive application of 

sealant between the bus bar assembly 

and the backplate assembly of certain 

line-replaceable units (LRUs). That AD 

also provides an optional terminating 

action to the repetitive re-application of 

sealant. This proposed AD would 

increase the interval allowed between 

the required re-application of sealant, 

and would specify an additional 

acceptable sealant. We are proposing 

this AD to prevent an in-flight double 

generator failure, which could result in 

reduced control of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 19, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

On August 5, 2010, we issued AD 

2010–17–11, Amendment 39–16403 (75 

FR 51656, August 23, 2010), (‘‘AD 2010– 

17–11’’), for Dowty Propellers model 

R408/6–123–F/17 propellers. AD 2010– 

17–11 required initial application and 

repetitive re-application of sealant 

between the bus bar assembly and the 

backplate assembly of LRU serial 

numbers below DAP0347. AD 2010–17– 

11 resulted from failure of the propeller 

de-ice bus bar due to friction or contact 

between the bus bar and the backplate 

assembly, consequent intermittent short 

circuit, and possible dual alternating 

current generator failure. 

On June 18, 2013, we issued AD 

2010–17–11R1, Amendment 39–17481 

(78 FR 41283, July 10, 2013), for Dowty 

Propellers R408/6–123–F/17 model 

propellers. AD 2010–17–11R1 added an 

optional terminating action to the 

requirement for the repetitive reapplication of sealant. AD 2010–17– 

11R1 resulted from Dowty Propellers 

development of a new slip ring de-icer 

harness to replace the bus bar assembly. 

We issued AD 2010–17–11R1 to prevent 

an in-flight double generator failure, 

which could result in reduced control of 

the airplane. 

Actions Since AD 2010–17–11R1 Was 

Issued 

Since we issued AD 2010–17–11R1, 

Dowty Propellers issued Alert Service 

Bulletin (ASB) No. D8400–61–A66, 

Revision 8, dated October 31, 2013. That 

ASB increased the interval between 

required re-application of sealant from 

10,000 flight hours (FHs) to 10,500 FHs. 

That ASB identified an additional 

acceptable sealant. The European 

Aviation Safety Agency has issued AD 

2009–0114R2, dated December 16, 2013, 

which incorporates the revised schedule 

for re-application of sealant. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Dowty Propellers ASB 

No. D8400–61–A66, Revision 8, dated 

October 31, 2013. The ASB describes 

procedures for performing initial and 

repetitive re-application of sealant 

between the bus bar assembly and the 

backplate assembly of certain LRUs. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would increase the 

interval from 10,000 FHs to 10,500 FHs 

between re-application of sealant, and 

would allow use of an additional 

acceptable sealant. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 104 propellers installed on 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 2 

hours per propeller to comply with this 

proposed AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per hour. Required parts cost about 

$20 per propeller. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the total cost of this 

proposed AD to U.S. operators is 

$19,760. 

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 have 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 that the 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), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, and 

(4) 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment
