### 61088 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 196 / Friday, October 9, 2015 / Rules and Regulations

Order 13175. This action affects all applicants and recipients of EPA financial federal assistance and therefore no one entity type will be impacted disproportionally. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action. Although Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action, EPA has made a conscious effort to engage tribal entities on changes to federal financial assistance requirements. EPA published materials summarizing these changes which can be found at http:// www.epa.gov/ogd/grants/ regulations.htm. EPA intends to host informational sessions tailored to tribal entities. G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks

The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory action’’ in section 2–202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental health risk or safety risk.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

This action does not involve technical standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

The EPA believes that it is not feasible to determine whether the human health or environmental risk addressed by this action will have potential disproportionately high and adverse effects on minority, low-income or indigenous populations. K. Congressional Review Act

This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). List of Subjects

**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 all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVI airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on March 31, 2015 (80 FR 17005). The NPRM was prompted by reports of corrosion on in-service air non-return valves. Failure of the HP Stage 5 air non-return valve in the open position could result in engine instability and uncommanded in-flight shutdown. The NPRM proposed to require a revision to the Emergency Procedures section of the AFM and a revision to the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate airworthiness limitations for the HP Stage 5 air non-return valves. We are issuing this AD to ensure the flightcrew is provided with procedures to mitigate the risks associated with failure of the HP Stage 5 air non-return valve.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (80 FR 17005, March 31, 2015) 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 this 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 (80 FR 17005, March 31, 2015) for correcting the unsafe condition; and

• Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the (NPRM 80 FR 17005, March 31, 2015).

Interim Action

We consider this AD interim action. The manufacturer is currently developing a modification that will positively address the unsafe condition identified in this AD. Once this modification is developed, approved, and available, we might consider additional rulemaking.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

We reviewed Section 04–08–20, Normal Airstart—Automatic; Section 04–08–30, Manual Airstart—Starter Assist; and Section 04–08–40, Manual Airstart—Windmilling; of Chapter 04, Emergency Procedures, of the Gulfstream GVI (G650) AFM, Document Number GAC–AC–G650–OPS–0001, Revision 5, dated August 12, 2013. This service information describes revised procedures for in-flight engine restart and operating procedures.

In addition, we reviewed Section 05– 10–10, Airworthiness Limitations, of Chapter 05, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, of the Gulfstream GVI (G650) Maintenance Manual (MM), Revision 4, dated September 30, 2013. This service information adds an airworthinesslimitation for the HP Stage 5 air nonreturn valve.

This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the **ADDRESSES** section of this AD. Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD affects 52 airplanes of U.S. registry.

We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:



### E STIMATED 

### COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators

AFM revision ........................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......................................... $0 $85 $4,420 MM revision ............................ 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......................................... 0 85 4,420

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


### 61090 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 196 / Friday, October 9, 2015 / Rules and Regulations

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

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.

**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 certain Honeywell International Inc. TPE331–5, –5A, –5AB, –5B, –10, –10R, –10U, –10UF, –10UG, –10UGR, and –10UR model turboprop engines. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 12, 2014 (79 FR 26906). The NPRM was prompted by numerous reports of engine propeller shaft coupling failures, leading to engine overspeed and unexpected propeller pitch changes. This condition causes high aerodynamic and asymmetric drag that has resulted in uncommanded airplane yaw and roll. The NPRM proposed to require removing certain P/N engine propeller shaft couplings from service within certain compliance times to address the flight safety risk. The NPRM also proposed to insert a copy of certain airplane operating procedures into the applicable flight manuals. These procedures describe an emergency procedure for pilot reaction to an engine overspeed event after an engine propeller shaft coupling failure. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of airplane control, leading to an accident.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM (79 FR 26906, May 12, 2014) and the FAA’s response to the comment.
Request To Change Compliance Time Basis

Honeywell International questioned whether compliance time should be stated in flight hours as opposed to flight cycles as used in the NPRM (79 FR 26906, May 12, 2014). Major periodic inspections are based on hours and not cycles.

We disagree. The FAA practice of stating compliance time is based on the component’s mode of failure. In this case the failure mode was fatigue; therefore, a compliance time in flight cycles is appropriate. We did not change this AD.
Clarified Requirement

Since we issued the NPRM (79 FR 26906, May 12, 2014), we discovered that paragraph (e)(4) of the Compliance section required clarification. We clarified that paragraph in this AD by deleting the requirement to insert a copy of Honeywell International Inc. Operating Information Letter (OIL) and requiring that Figure 1 to Paragraph (e)—Airplane Operating Procedures be inserted. Reference to the OIL was added as related information. The replacement procedure provides simplified, more concise text, for increased clarity.

Conclusion

We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with clarification.
Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD will affect 485 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about one hour per engine to perform the actions required by this AD, if done at the next scheduled turbine hot section inspection (HSI), and 40 hours per engine if done during an unscheduled access of the engine propeller shaft coupling. We also estimate that 400 engines will have the replacement actions done at a scheduled time of next turbine HSI, and 85 engines will have the replacement actions done at an unscheduled access of the engine propeller shaft coupling. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Required parts will cost about $12,000 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost of this AD to U.S. operators to be $6,143,000.
