SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI) EASA AD 2012–0260, dated 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with 
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 16 / Thursday, January 24, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 5127 

December 11, 2012, to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

During a revenue service flight, a 

Trent 900 engine experienced increased 

N2 intermediate pressure (IP) vibrations, 

followed by an engine surge. The pilot 

shut down the engine, the aeroplane 

carried out an air turn-back, and a 3- 

engine landing was successfully 

performed. Subsequent investigation 

results revealed the presence of oil bypass seal material from the Fuel-to-Oil 

Heat Exchanger (FOHE) in the restrictor 

hole of the Tail Bearing Housing (TBH) 

cover plate. The blocked restrictor hole 

caused oil starvation to the low pressure 

(LP) and IP location bearings. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could lead to LP location 

bearing damage, possibly resulting in 

uncontained engine failure and 

consequent damage to the aeroplane. 

The oil baffle seals in FOHE, part 

number 47111–1241, become damaged 

with use and loose seal material can 

block the restrictor hole. You may 

obtain further information by examining 

the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

RR has issued Alert Non-Modification 

Service Bulletin RB.211–79–AH031, 

dated October 25, 2012. The actions 

described in this service information are 

intended to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

This product has been approved by 

the United Kingdom and is approved for 

operation in the United States. Pursuant 

to our bilateral agreement with the 

European Community, EASA has 

notified us of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and service 

information referenced above. We are 

issuing this AD because we evaluated 

all information provided by EASA and 

determined the unsafe condition exists 

and is likely to exist or develop on other 

products of the same type design. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

No domestic operators use this 

product. Therefore, we find that notice 

and opportunity for prior public 

comment are unnecessary and that good 

cause exists for making this amendment 

effective in less than 30 days. 

Accordingly, this AD is effective upon 

publication. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not precede it by notice and 

opportunity for public comment. We 

invite you to send any written relevant 

data, views, or arguments about this AD. 

Send your comments to an address 

listed under the ADDRESSES section. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2012–1334; 

Directorate Identifier 2012–NE–49–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 with FAA 

personnel concerning this AD. Using the 

search function of the Web site, anyone 

can find and read the comments in any 

of our dockets, including, if provided, 

the name of the individual who sent the 

comment (or signed the comment on 

behalf of an association, business, labor 

union, etc.). You may review the DOT’s 

complete Privacy Act Statement in the 

Federal Register published on April 11, 

2000 (65 FR 19477–78). 

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 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 this AD: 

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); and 

3. 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Savoonga, AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace at Savoonga, AK, to 

accommodate aircraft using Area 

Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 

System (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at Savoonga 

Airport. This action enhances the safety 

and management of aircraft operations 

at the airport. An editorial change is 

made by removing reference to Class E 

surface airspace entered in error. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, March 

7, 2013. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR Part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Richard Roberts, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Operations Support 

Group, Western Service Center, 1601 

Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA 98057; 

telephone (425) 203–4517. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 9, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify controlled airspace at 

Savoonga, AK (77 FR 61304). Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

modifying Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Savoonga Airport, Savoonga, AK, to 

accommodate aircraft using the new 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at Savoonga 

Airport, and enhances the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

operations at the airport. The reference 

to Class E surface airspace is removed 

as it was entered in error. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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 this rule, when promulgated, 

will 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 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 

discusses the authority of the FAA 

Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 

Programs, describes in more detail the 

scope of the agency’s authority. This 

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 regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it modifies 

controlled airspace at Savoonga Airport, 

Savoonga, AK. Except for editorial 

changes and change noted above, this 

rule is the same as published in the 

NPRM. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
