AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

AD would require inspecting certain 

serial number (S/N) first stage turbine 

disks, part number (P/N) 3101520–1 and 

P/N 3107079–1. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a report of an uncontained 

failure of a first stage turbine disk that 

had a metallurgical defect. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent 

uncontained failure of the first stage 

turbine disk and damage to the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by September 23, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

2011–0789; Directorate Identifier 2011– 

NE–04–AD’’ at the beginning of your

Discussion 

In May 2008, we received a report of 

an uncontained separation of a first 

stage turbine disk, P/N 3107079–1. The 

disk was installed in a TPE331–11U 

turboprop engine. That disk, which has 

a 20,000-cycle life, failed after 

accumulating 8,314 cycles-in-service. 

The fracture revealed a large meltrelated oxide cluster inclusion in the 

web area of the disk, which occurred 

during the forging alloy melting process. 

The disk was produced from Waspaloy 

material, from Heat Lot 9–7121, which 

was melted by Special Metals in 1980. 

We have determined that approximately 

360 turbine disks were produced from 

the same heat lot as the failed forged 

turbine disk and therefore may have 

similar inclusions. This condition, if not 

corrected, could result in uncontained 

failure of the first stage turbine disks 

made from these billets and damage to 

the airplane. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Honeywell International 

Inc. Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 

TPE331–72–A2156, dated December 2, 

2008. The Honeywell ASB TPE331–72– 

A2156, dated December 2, 2008, 

provides S/Ns of the affected turbine 

disks and describes procedures for 

initial and repetitive fluorescent 

penetrant inspection (FPI) and eddy 

current inspection (ECI) of the first stage 

turbine disk. 

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 require: 

• For turbine disks that have an S/N 

listed in Table 1 of this proposed AD 

with 4,100 or fewer cycles-since-new 

(CSN) on the effective date of this 

proposed AD, performing an initial FPI 

and ECI within 4,500 CSN or at the next 

access, whichever occurs first. 

• For turbine disks that have an S/N 

listed in Table 1 of this proposed AD 

with more than 4,100 CSN on the 

effective date of this proposed AD, 

performing an initial FPI and ECI within 

400 cycles-in-service after the effective 

date of this proposed AD or at the next 

access, whichever occurs first. 

• Thereafter, for turbine disks that 

have an S/N listed in Table 1 of this 

proposed AD, perform a repetitive FPI 

and ECI at each scheduled hot section 

inspection, but not to exceed 3,600 

hours-since-last inspection. 

The proposed AD would require that 

you do these actions using the service 

information described previously.

48750 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 9, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 90 engines installed on 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 20 

work-hours per engine to perform the 

proposed actions, and that the average 

labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts would cost about 

$19,000 per engine. We estimate that 

one disk would fail the initial 

inspection and that repetitive 

inspections would be performed on 89 

engines. We estimate that one engine 

would fail the repetitive inspections and 

that further repetitive inspections would 

be performed on 88 engines. We 

estimate that an additional one disk 

would fail those repetitive inspections 

before retirement. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the total cost of the 

proposed AD to U.S. operators to be 

$511,155. 

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 above, 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, 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.

(3) If the disk passes the FPI inspection, 

perform a special eddy current inspection 

(ECI) by using paragraph 3.B.(6) of 

Honeywell International Inc. ASB TPE331– 

72–A2156, dated December 2, 2008, before 

returning the disk to service. 

(g) If you find a crack in the disk, remove 

the disk from service. 

Repetitive Inspection

P/N 3101520–1 or 3107079–1, that have an 

S/N listed in Table 2 of Honeywell 

International Inc. ASB TPE331–72–A2156, 

dated December 2, 2008, inspect the disks as 

follows: 

(1) Perform a repetitive inspection at each 

scheduled hot section inspection, but not to 

exceed 3,600 hours-since-last inspection. Use 

paragraph 3.B.(2) through 3.B.(5) of 

Honeywell International Inc. ASB TPE331– 

72–A2156, dated December 2, 2008. 

(2) If the disk passes the FPI inspection, 

perform a special ECI by using paragraph 

3.B.(6) of Honeywell International Inc. ASB 

TPE331–72–A2156, dated December 2, 2008, 

before returning the disk to service. 

(i) If you find a crack in the disk, remove 

the disk from service. 

Definition 

(j) For the purpose of this AD, ‘‘next access 

to the first stage turbine disk’’ is defined as 

the removal of the second stage turbine 

nozzle from the turbine stator housing.
