SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 13, 2016, the U.S. Department 

of Energy (DOE) published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NOPR) for ceiling 

fans energy conservation standards in 

the Federal Register to make available 

and invite comments on the analysis for 

ceiling fans energy conservation 

standards. 81 FR 1687. The notice 

provided for the written submission of 

comments by March 14, 2016, and oral 

comments were also accepted at a 

public meeting held on February 3, 

2016. At the public meeting, various 

stakeholders have requested an 

extension of the comment period to 

consider the NOPR, technical support 

documents and public meeting 

presentation, and to prepare and submit 

comments accordingly. On March 2, 

American Lighting Association sent a 

written request for 30-day comment 

period extension due additional testing 

manufacturers have to conduct to 

review their existing products against 

the ceiling fan test procedures SNOPR, 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 3, 2015, and the conservation 

standards NOPR. 

DOE has determined that an extension 

of the public comment period is 

appropriate based on the foregoing 

reason. DOE will consider any 

comments received by midnight of April 

14, 2016, and deems any comments 

received by that time to be timely 

submitted. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on March 10,

Airworthiness Directives; Honeywell 

International Inc. Turboprop and 

Turboshaft Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Honeywell International Inc. 

(Honeywell) TPE331 model turboprop 

engines and TSE331–3U model 

turboshaft engines. This proposed AD 

was prompted by the discovery of 

cracks in a 2nd stage compressor 

impeller during a routine shop visit. 

This proposed AD would require 

removal of the 2nd stage compressor 

impeller. We are proposing this AD to 

prevent failure of the compressor 

impeller, uncontained part release, 

damage to the engine, and damage to the 

airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 16, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

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

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Fax: 202–493–2251. 

• Mail: U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Docket Operations, M–

W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., 

Washington, DC 20590. 

• Hand Delivery: Deliver to Mail 

address above between 9 a.m. and 5 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

4866; or in person at the Docket 

Management Facility between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains this proposed AD, the 

regulatory evaluation, any comments 

received, and other information. The 

street address for the Docket Office 

(phone: 800–647–5527) is in the 

ADDRESSES section. Comments will be 

available in the AD docket shortly after 

receipt.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

We invite you to send any written 

relevant data, views, or arguments about 

this NPRM. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA– 

2015–4866; Directorate Identifier 2015– 

NE–33–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this NPRM. We will consider 

all comments received by the closing 

date and may amend this NPRM 

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 NPRM. 

Discussion 

Several 2nd stage compressor 

impellers were found cracked in the aft 

curvic root radius when inspected 

during a routine shop visit. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result 

in failure of the compressor impeller, 

uncontained part release, damage to the 

engine, and damage to the airplane. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this NPRM 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 NPRM would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 4,000 engines installed on 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate 

that it would take 0 hours per engine to 

comply with this proposed AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per hour. We 

also estimate that required parts would 

cost about $1,513.25 per engine. Based 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2016 / Proposed Rules 13765 

on these figures, we estimate the total 

cost of this proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $6,053,000. 

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 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.
