21846 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 75 / Friday, April 18, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

about 232 engines installed on aircraft 

of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it 

will take about 24 hours per engine to 

comply with this AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per hour. Required parts will 

cost about $9,268 per engine. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this AD on U.S. operators to be 

$2,623,456. 

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 

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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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 airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

2014–08–05 Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & 

Co KG (Type Certificate previously held 

by Rolls-Royce Deutschland GmbH and 

BMW Rolls-Royce GmbH): Amendment 

39–17829; Docket No. FAA–2013–0884; 

Directorate Identifier 2013–NE–31–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD becomes effective May 23, 2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Rolls-Royce 

Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) BR700– 

715A1–30, BR700–715B1–30, and BR700– 

715C1–30 turbofan engines. 

(d) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a report of a 

partial de-bonding of the low-pressure 

compressor (LPC) case ice impact panels 

during an engine shop visit. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent failure of the LPC case ice 

impact panels, which could result in damage 

to the engine and loss of control of the 

airplane. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, after the effective 

date of this AD, at the next engine shop visit 

or within 12,500 engine flight cycles since 

the last shop visit, whichever occurs first, 

replace the four LPC ice impact panels with 

panels eligible for installation. 

(f) Definitions 

(1) For the purposes of this AD, an ‘‘engine 

shop visit’’ is the induction of an engine into 

the shop for maintenance involving the 

separation of pairs of major mating engine 

flanges. The separation of engine flanges 

solely for the purpose of transportation 

without subsequent engine maintenance does 

not constitute an engine shop visit. 

(2) For the purposes of this AD, a panel 

that is ‘‘eligible for installation’’ is a new LPC 

impact panel or one that has been repaired 

using RRD Alert Non-Modification Service 

Bulletin (NMSB) No. ALERT SB–BR700–72– 

A900281, dated July 1, 2013. 

(g) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

The Manager, Engine Certification Office, 

FAA, may approve AMOCs to this AD. Use 

the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to 

make your request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On January 8, 2014, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the 

Paragould, AR, area, modifying 

controlled airspace at Kirk Field Airport 

(79 FR 1344) Docket No. FAA–2013– 

0588. Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9X dated 

August 7, 2013, and effective September 

15, 2013, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for standard instrument approach 

procedures at Kirk Field Airport, 

Paragould, AR. Airspace reconfiguration 

is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Paragould NDB 

and the cancellation of the NDB 

approach. The segment northeast of the 

airport is now within 2.5 miles each 

side of the 062° bearing from the airport. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. Geographic 

coordinates are also adjusted to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends 

controlled airspace at Kirk Field, 

Paragould, AR. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

extending from the 6.4-mile radius to 9.5 

miles southwest of the airport, and within 2.5 

miles each side of the 062° bearing from the 

airport extending from the 6.4-mile radius to
