**ACTION :**  Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM); reopening of comment period.

**SUMMARY :**  We are revising and reopening the comment period for an earlier notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for certain Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited (Bell) Model 206L–3 and 206L–4 helicopters. The NPRM proposes to require installing a placard and revising the limitations section of the rotorcraft flight manual (RFM). The NPRM was prompted by several incidents of third stage engine turbine wheel failures caused by excessive vibrations at certain engine speeds during steady-state operations. This action proposes to revise the NPRM by adding certain Model 206L1 helicopters to the applicability, excluding certain Model 206L3 and 206L4 helicopters from the applicability, and changing the procedures for updating the RFM. Since these actions impose an additional burden over that proposed in the NPRM, we are reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these proposed changes.

**DATES :**  We must receive comments on this SNPRM by December 2, 2014.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 to add an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to certain Bell Model 206L–3 and 206L–4 helicopters. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on June 7, 2013 (78 FR 34282). The NPRM proposed to require installing a placard on the instrument panel below the dual tachometer and revising the Operating Limitations section of the Model 206L3 and 206L4 RFMs by inserting pages that limit steady-state operations between speeds of 71.8% and 91.5%.

The NPRM was prompted by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) AD No. CF–2005–28R1, dated June 14, 2007, to correct an unsafe condition for certain Model 206L–3 and 206L–4 helicopters. TCCA, which is the aviation authority for Canada, advises of several failures of third stage turbine wheels used in Rolls-Royce 250–C30S and 250– C47B engines. According to TCCA, Rolls-Royce determined that detrimental vibrations can occur within a particular range of turbine speeds, and may be a contributing factor to these failures. Bell has revised the RFM and provided a corresponding decal to inform pilots to avoid steady-state operations between 71.8% and 91.5% turbine speeds. The TCCA AD requires amending the RFMs, advising pilots of the change, and installing a decal as described in Bell Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 206L– 05–134, dated June 8, 2005, or later revisions.


### 59696 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 192 / Friday, October 3, 2014 / Proposed Rules

Actions Since Previous NPRM was Issued

Since we issued the NPRM (78 FR 34282, June 7, 2013), we determined that Bell Model 206L1 helicopters with Engine Upgrade Kit Part Number (P/N) 206–706–520 installed should be included in the applicability. Engine Upgrade Kit P/N 206–706–520 replaces the Rolls-Royce 250–C28B engine with a Rolls-Royce 250–C30P engine. The condition causing the failures of thirdstage turbine wheels used in RollsRoyce 250–C30S and 250–C–47B engines could also exist in Rolls-Royce 250–C30P engines. Lastly, we have determined that Bell Model 206L3 and 206L4 helicopters having Rolls-Royce 250–C20R engines installed under Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) number SR00036SE are exempt from the requirements of the proposed AD because that engine is not affected by the unsafe condition. This SNPRM also changes the procedures for modifying the RFM Limitations Section from inserting revised pages to making pen and ink changes.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to comment on the previous NPRM (78 FR 34282, June 7, 2013), and we received a comment from one commenter.
Request

Rolls-Royce Corporation requested that in addition to requiring the placard on the instrument panel, we allow operators the option to temporarily mark the N
r/Np gauge with colored tape to provide a more visual aide to the pilot for the speed avoidance zone.

We disagree. Marking the glass surface of the gauge can create parallax issues when viewing the avoidance ranges on the gauge, resulting in erroneous readings.

FAA’s Determination

We are proposing this SNPRM because we evaluated all known relevant information and determined that an unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop on other products of these same type designs. Certain changes described above expand the scope of the original NPRM (78 FR 34282, June 7, 2013). As a result, we have determined that it is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide additional opportunity for the public to comment on this SNPRM.

Related Service Information

Bell issued ASB No. 206L–05–134, Revision A, dated April 9, 2007, which describes procedures for installing a placard on the instrument panel below the main rotor RPM (Nr)/power turbine RPM (N2) dual tachometer and for inserting the RFM changes into the flight manual. Revision A of the ASB was issued to exclude Bell Model 206L– 3 and 206L–4 helicopters with 250– C20R engines installed under STC No. SR00036SE from the requirements of the ASB. Proposed Requirements of the SNPRM

This proposed AD would require installing a placard on the instrument panel below the NR/N2 dual tachometer and also requires revising the Operating Limitations section of the Model 206L3 and 206L4 RFMs to limit steady-state operations between speeds of 71.8% and 91.5%. Differences Between This Supplemental NPRM and the TCCA AD

The TCCA AD requires compliance within 10 calendar days; this proposed AD would require compliance within 30 days. This proposed AD would be applicable to Model 206L–1 helicopters with Engine Upgrade Kit P/N 206–706– 520 installed because the same unsafe condition exits on this model, and the TCCA AD is not. Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 616 helicopters of U.S. Registry. We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order to comply with this AD. Based on an average labor rate of $85 per hour, amending the RFM would require about 0.5 work-hour, for a cost per helicopter of about $43 and a cost to U.S. operators of $26,488. Installing the decal would require about 0.2 work-hour, and required parts would cost $20, for a cost per helicopter of $37 and a cost to U.S. operators of $22,792. Based on these estimates, the total cost of this proposed AD would be $80 per helicopter and $49,280 for the fleet. 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, 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);

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 an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
