SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on March 3, 2014 (79 FR 

11722). The NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

An operator of an A330 aeroplane fitted 

with RR Trent 772B engines experienced an 

engine uncontained multiple turbine blade 

failure. Investigation results showed that 

High-Pressure/Intermediate-Pressure (HP/IP) 

oil vent tubes may be affected by carbon 

deposit and may also be damaged by their 

outer heat shields, which in this case led to 

combustion inside the tube. The consequent 

chain of events resulted in an engine internal 

fire which caused the failure of the IP turbine 

disc drive arm. 

This condition, if not corrected, could lead 

to uncontained multiple turbine blade 

failures or an HP/IP turbine disc burst, 

possibly resulting in damage to, and reduced 

control of, the aeroplane. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comments received. 

Request To Modify Description of 

Failure Mode 

RR requested that we define the 

failure mode as IP turbine disc drive 

arm failure and multiple IP turbine 

blade release to be consistent with 

descriptions in the RR service bulletin 

and the European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA) AD. 

We disagree. EASA AD 2013–0190, 

dated August 20, 2013, states that the 

failure mode is multiple turbine blade 

failures or HP/IP turbine disc burst. We 

did not change this AD. 

Request That FAA Require the Same 

Compliance Date as the EASA AD 

RR requested that we modify the 

compliance date to be consistent with 

the compliance date required in EASA 

AD 2013–0190, dated August 20, 2013. 

We disagree. EASA AD 2013–0190, 

dated August 20, 2013 required 

compliance by December 31, 2018. We 

proposed compliance at next shop visit 

or December 31, 2018, whichever comes 

first, to achieve more timely mitigation 

of the unsafe condition. We did not 

change this AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects about 

72 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it will 

take about 1 hour per engine to comply 

with this AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per hour. There are no required 

parts. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators to be $6,120. 

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.

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): 

2014–14–01 Rolls-Royce plc: Amendment 

39–17895; Docket No. FAA–2013–0876; 

Directorate Identifier 2013–NE–27–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD becomes effective August 15, 

2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability

RB211 Trent 768–60, 772–60, and 772B–60 

turbofan engines prior to engine serial 

number 42066. 

(d) Reason 

This AD was prompted by an uncontained 

multiple turbine blade failure on an RR 

RB211 Trent 772B turbofan engine. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent failure of the 

intermediate-pressure turbine disc drive arm 

or burst of the high-pressure turbine disk, 

which could lead to uncontained engine 

failure and damage to the airplane. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

After the effective date of this AD, at the 

next engine shop visit or by December 31, 

2018, whichever occurs first, modify the 

engine by removing any electronic engine 

control (EEC) that incorporates EEC software 

standard A14 or earlier and installing an EEC 

eligible for installation. 

(f) Installation Prohibition 

After modification of an engine as required 

by paragraph (e) of this AD, do not install an 

EEC with software standard A14 or earlier 

into that engine.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on March 21, 2014 (79 FR 

15707). The NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

There have been reported incidences of 

fuel leaks at the interface between the 

flexible fuel manifold and the fuel nozzle. On 

occasion, these events resulted in an engine 

fire on PW100 series engine installations. 

The data indicates that nearly all of the 

subject manifold fuel leaks were caused by 

inadequate B-nut torque application during 

installation, after maintenance work was 

performed on the fuel nozzle/manifold. 

Sealing of the fitting connections between 

the fuel manifolds and the fuel nozzle 

adapters is achieved through conical metalto-metal surface seating. An additional O-ring 

seal on the fitting was installed to arrest any 

fuel leak past the conical sealing surfaces. Inservice experience has indicated that leakage 

past the sealing surfaces, as a result of 

improper torquing during installation of the 

manifold, may not be immediately evident 

until the failure of the O-ring seal allows the 

fuel to leak into the nacelle area. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comment received. 

Request To Mandate Incorporation of 

Service Bulletins 

UTair Aviation JSC requested that we 

mandate incorporation of P&WC Service 

Bulletins (SBs) PW100–72–21841, 

Revision No. 1, dated November 29, 

2013; and PW100–72–21848, Revision 

No. 1, dated November 15, 2013, in the 

AD. The commenter suggested that 

incorporation by reference of these SBs 

would improve safety compared to the 

compliance proposed in the NPRM (79 

FR 15707, March 21, 2014). 

We disagree. We note that prior to 

implementation of these SBs, an 

operator would need to remove the 

affected O-ring seals, which would 

fulfill the requirements of this AD. We 

do not find that requiring accomplishing 

these service bulletins through 

incorporation by reference in this AD is 

necessary. We did not change this AD.
