(d) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by LP compressor 

blade partial airfoil release events. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent LP compressor 

blade airfoil separations, engine damage, and 

damage to the airplane. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) Ultrasonic Inspection (UI) of LP 

Compressor Blade 

(i) After the effective date of this AD, 

ultrasonically inspect each LP compressor 

blade before the blade exceeds 3,600 cycles 

since new (CSN) or before further flight, 

whichever occurs later. Repeat the UI of the 

blade every 2,400 cycles since last inspection 

(CSLI). 

(ii) For any LP compressor blade that 

exceeds 2,200 CSLI on the effective date of 

this AD, inspect the blade before exceeding 

3,000 CSLI or before further flight, whichever 

occurs later. Thereafter, perform the 

repetitive inspections required by this AD. 

(iii) Use paragraph 3, excluding 

subparagraphs 3.A.(9), 3.B.(5), 3.C.(4), 

3.D.(3), 3.E.(5), 3.F.(10), and 3.G.(7), of RR 

Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin 

(NMSB) RB.211–72–AH465, dated July 15,

this AD. 

(2) Use of Replacement Blades 

LP compressor blades, P/Ns FK23411, 

FK25441, FK25968, FW11901, FW15393, 

FW23643, FW23741, FW23744, KH23403, or 

KH23404, that have accumulated at least 

3,600 CSN or 2,400 CSLI are eligible for 

installation if the blade has passed the UI 

required by this AD. 

(f) Credit for Previous Actions 

If you performed a UI of an affected LP 

compressor blade before the effective date of 

this AD using RR NMSB No. RB.211–72– 

G702, dated May 23, 2011; or RR NMSB No. 

RB.211–72–G872, Revision 2, dated March 8, 

2013, or earlier revisions; or RR NMSB No. 

RB.211–72–H311, dated March 8, 2013; or 

Engine Manual E-Trent-1RR, Task 72–31–11– 

200–806, you have met the initial inspection 

requirements of this AD. However, you must 

still comply with the repetitive 2,400 CSLI 

requirement of this AD. 

(g) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

The Manager, Engine Certification Office, 

may approve AMOCs for this AD. Use the

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

Class D airspace within a 4.2-mile 

radius of Allen C Perkinson Blackstone 

Army Airfield, Blackstone, VA, and 

amend existing Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to within a 6.7-mile radius 

of the airfield, as well as adjust the 

geographic coordinates of the airfield to 

be in concert with the FAAs 

aeronautical database. This action is 

necessary to support the operation of 

the new air traffic control tower, and 

would enhance the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airfield. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraphs 5000 and 

6005 respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013, and 

effective September 15, 2013, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. 

This proposed rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would establish Class D and amend 

Class E airspace at Allen C Perkinson 

Blackstone Army Airfield, Blackstone, 

VA. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
