reworked in accordance with RR Service 

Bulletin (SB) No. RB.211–72–G604, dated 

March 18, 2013. 

(d) Reason 

This AD was prompted by the 

identification by RR of limitations in the 

drawing definition for the Trent 800 lowpressure (LP) turbine bearing support and 

exhaust case assembly, which resulted in 

thin-wall section parts being delivered into 

service. We are issuing this AD to prevent 

failure of the LP turbine bearing support and 

exhaust case assembly, which could lead to 

engine separation and damage to the 

airplane. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(1) For engines that have an LP turbine 

bearing support and exhaust case assembly 

identified by part number (P/N) and serial 

number (S/N) in Table 1 to paragraph (e) of 

this AD, installed, at the next engine shop 

visit after the effective date of this AD, but 

not later than June 30, 2017, replace the 

assembly with one that is eligible for 

installation. 

(2) For engines with an LP turbine bearing 

support and exhaust case assembly not 

identified by P/N and S/N in Table 1 to 

paragraph (e) of this AD, installed, at the next 

piece-part exposure of the LP turbine bearing 

support and exhaust case assembly after the 

effective date of AD: 

(i) Inspect the hub to conical panel weld 

line thickness using paragraphs 3.B.(3)(a) 

through 3.B.(3)(d)(iii) of RR Alert Service 

Bulletin (ASB) No. RB.211–72–AG644, dated 

April 30, 2013; and 

(ii) Inspect the hub to conical panel flange 

thickness using paragraphs 3.B.(4)(a) through 

3.B.(4)(c)(v) of RR ASB No. RB.211–72– 

AG644, dated April 30, 2013. 

(iii) If the LP turbine bearing support and 

exhaust case assembly does not pass the 

inspections required by paragraphs (e)(2)(i) 

and (e)(2)(ii) of this AD, replace the LP 

turbine bearing support and exhaust case 

assembly with one that is eligible for 

installation.

(f) Definitions 

The following definitions apply for the 

purpose of this AD: 

(1) An LP turbine bearing support and 

exhaust case assembly is eligible for 

installation if it has passed the inspections of 

paragraphs (e)(2)(i) and (e)(2)(ii) of this AD; 

or has been reworked in accordance with RR 

SB No. RB.211–72–G604, dated March 18, 

2013. 

(2) ‘‘Piece-part exposure’’ occurs whenever 

the LP turbine bearing support and exhaust 

case assembly is sufficiently exposed to do 

the inspections required by paragraphs 

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

(3) 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, except that the 

separation of engine flanges solely for the 

purposes of transportation without 

subsequent engine maintenance is not an 

engine shop visit.

of another country to identify and 

correct an unsafe condition on an 

aviation product. The MCAI describes 

the unsafe condition as the need to 

incorporate revisions to the 

Airworthiness Limitations section of the 

Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness. We are issuing this AD 

to require actions to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective August 5, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of August 5, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to add an AD that would apply 

to all British Aerospace Regional 

Aircraft Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes. 

That NPRM was published in the 

Federal Register on April 14, 2014 (79 

FR 20832), and proposed to supersede 

AD 2007–10–16, Amendment 39–15057 

(72 FR 27953, May 18, 2007). 

The NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products and was based on mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI) originated by an aviation 

authority of another country. The MCAI 

states: 

The Jetstream Series 3200 Aircraft 

Maintenance Manual (AMM), includes 

Chapter 05–10–05 ‘‘Airworthiness 

Limitations, Description and Operation’’. The 

maintenance tasks and limitations contained 

in this chapter have been identified as 

mandatory actions for continued 

airworthiness and EASA issued AD 2007– 

0074 to require operators to comply with 

those instructions. 

Since that AD was issued, BAE Systems 

(Operations) Ltd amended Jetstream Series 

3200 AMM Chapter 05–10–05 to introduce 

life limitations for the main landing gear 

radius rod mounting shaft assemblies and to 

incorporate wing structure inspections 

previously introduced through BAE Systems 

(Operations) Ltd Service Bulletin (SB) SB 51– 

JA020940. In addition, a new table was 

introduced to provide extended fatigue life 

limitations for structural items for aeroplanes 

entered into a life extension programme. 

Reference to BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd 

SB 32–JA981042 was updated from Revision 

7 to Revision 8 to reflect increased life limits 

of the nose landing gear. 

Failure to comply with the new and more 

restrictive instructions could result in an 

unsafe condition. 

For the reasons described above, this EASA 

AD retains the requirements of EASA AD 

2007–0074, which is superseded, and 

requires implementation of the maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations as specified in Chapter 05–10–05 

of the Jetstream Series 3200 AMM at Revision 

29. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0241- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 20832, April 14, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

20832, April 14, 2014) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 20832, 

April 14, 2014). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

14 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 1 workhour per product to comply with the 

basic requirements of this AD of 

inserting the document into the 

Airworthiness Limitations section of the 

Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness. The average labor rate is 

$85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to 

be $1,190, or $85 per product. 

We have no way of determining the 

cost to replace the life limited parts and 

to do the applicable maintenance tasks 

on each airplane. 

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, 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.
