ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

emergency airworthiness directive (AD) 

2014–12–52 for all Honeywell 

International Inc. TFE731–4, –4R, –5AR, 

–5BR, –5R, –20R, –20AR, –20BR, –40, 

–40AR, –40R, –40BR, –50R, and –60 

turbofan engines. Emergency AD 2014– 

12–52 was sent previously to all known 

U.S. owners and operators of these 

engines. AD 2014–12–52 required, 

before further flight, a review of the 

engine logbook maintenance records to 

determine if any affected engines are 

installed. AD 2014–12–52 also 

prohibited operation of an airplane with 

two or more affected engines that have 

2nd stage low-pressure turbine (LPT2) 

blades with less than 250 operating 

hours since new. This AD retains the 

requirements of AD 2014–12–52 and 

clarifies the intent of the mandatory 

requirements. This AD was prompted by 

reports of LPT2 blade separations. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent LPT2 

blade failure, multiple engine in-flight 

shutdowns, and damage to the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 28, 

2014. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by August 25, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On June 10, 2014, we issued 

Emergency AD 2014–12–52, which 

requires, before further flight, a review 

of the engine logbook maintenance 

records to determine if any affected 

engines are installed. Emergency AD 

2014–12–52 also required for twoengine airplanes or for three-engine 

airplanes, that have two or more engines 

installed with LPT2 blades installed that 

have less than 250 operating hours since 

new, remove all affected engines before 

further flight. Emergency AD 2014–12– 

52 was sent previously to all known 

U.S. owners and operators of these 

TFE731–4, –4R, –5AR, –5BR, –5R, –20R, 

–20AR, –20BR, –40, –40AR, –40R, 

–40BR, –50R, and –60 turbofan engines. 

This action was prompted by reports of 

LPT2 blade separations. Analysis 

indicates the presence of casting 

anomalies at or near the root of the 

LPT2 blade. This condition, if not 

corrected, could result in LPT2 blade 

failure, multiple engine in-flight 

shutdowns, and damage to the airplane. 

We are superseding Emergency AD 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
39962 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 133 / Friday, July 11, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

2014–12–52 to clarify the intent of 

paragraphs (e) and (f) of this AD. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Honeywell Alert Service 

Bulletin (ASB) No. TFE731–72–A3792, 

dated June 5, 2014; ASB No. TFE731– 

72–A5242, dated June 5, 2014; and ASB 

No. TFE731–72–A5243, dated June 5, 

2014. The service information describes 

procedures for identifying affected 

engines and follow-on actions. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing 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. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires, before further flight, 

a review of the engine logbook 

maintenance records to determine if any 

affected engines are installed. If any 

affected engines are installed, then this 

AD prohibits operation of an airplane 

with two or more affected engines that 

have LPT2 blades with less than 250 

operating hours since new. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

Service Information 

Paragraphs (e)(2) and (e)(3) of this AD 

require that certain affected engines be 

removed before further flight. 

Honeywell ASB No. TFE731–72–A3792, 

dated June 5, 2014; ASB No. TFE731– 

72–A5242, dated June 5, 2014; and ASB 

No. TFE731–72–A5243, dated June 5, 

2014, for airplanes having only one 

affected engine installed, require no 

action at this time and may continue 

operation. 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD to be an interim 

action. We anticipate that further AD 

action will follow. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because of compliance requirement 

before further flight. Therefore, we find 

that notice and opportunity for prior 

public comment are impracticable and 

that good cause exists for making this 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA– 

2014–0386; Directorate Identifier 2014– 

NE–09–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this AD. We will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may amend this AD because of 

those comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 50 

engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it will 

take about 18 hours per engine to 

comply with this AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per hour. Required parts cost 

about $0 per engine. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

on U.S. operators to be $76,500. 

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 

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 that this AD: 

(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), 

(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.

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30964; Amdt. No. 3596] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, 

or revokes Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and 

associated Takeoff Minimums and 

Obstacle Departure Procedures for 

operations at certain airports. These 

regulatory actions are needed because of 

the adoption of new or revised criteria, 

or because of changes occurring in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding new obstacles, or 

changing air traffic requirements. These 

changes are designed to provide safe 

and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace and to promote safe flight 

operations under instrument flight rules 

at the affected airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective July 11, 

2014. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of July 11, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:

telephone: (405) 954–4164. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by 

amending the referenced SIAPs. The 

complete regulatory description of each 

SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA 

Form 8260, as modified by the National 

Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of Title 14 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations. 

The large number of SIAPs, their 

complex nature, and the need for a 

special format make their verbatim 

publication in the Federal Register 

expensive and impractical. Further, 

airmen do not use the regulatory text of 

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic 

depiction on charts printed by 

publishers of aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP contained in FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of SIAP 

and the corresponding effective dates. 

This amendment also identifies the 

airport and its location, the procedure 

and the amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P– 

NOTAM, and contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures
