originated by an aviation authority of another 

country to identify and correct an unsafe 

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI 

describes the unsafe condition as chafed or 

damaged wiring on the flight deck overhead 

panels (5VE and 6VE). We are issuing this 

AD to prevent chafing and damage to the 

wiring in the flight deck overhead panels, 

which could result in short-circuiting of 

related wiring and possibly lead to electrical 

failure of affected systems and potential fire 

in the flight deck. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(3) of 

this AD:

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA AD 2013– 

0231, dated September 24, 2013 

(referred to hereinafter as ‘‘the MCAI’’), 

to correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

Partial de-bonding of the Low Pressure 

Compressor (LPC) Case Ice Impact Panels 

was reported during engine shop visit. 

This condition, if not corrected, could lead 

to Ice Impact Panel de-bonding, resulting, in 

case of an impact event and release of 

particles, in blockage of the Outlet Guide 

Vane and consequent potential loss of thrust 

or reduced fan flutter margin. 

You may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating it in Docket No. FAA– 

2013–0884. 

Relevant Service Information 

RRD has issued Alert NonModification Service Bulletin No. 

ALERT SB–BR700–72–A900281, dated 

July 1, 2013. The service information 

describes procedures for replacement of 

the LPC case ice impact panels. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of Germany, 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 proposing 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. This 

proposed AD would require 

replacement of the LPC case ice impact 

panels. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 232 RRD turbofan engines 

installed on aircraft of U.S. registry. We 

also estimate that it would take about 24 

hours per engine to comply with this 

proposed AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per hour. Required parts cost about 

$9,268 per product. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$2,623,456. 

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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD):

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by February 

21, 2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Rolls-Royce 

Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) BR700– 

715A1–30, BR700–715B1–30, and BR700– 

715C1–30 turbofan engines. 

(d) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a report of a 

partial de-bonding of the low pressure 

compressor (LPC) case ice impact panels 

during an engine shop visit. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent failure of the LPC case ice 

impact panels, which could result in damage 

to the engine and loss of control of the 

airplane. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, after the effective 

date of this AD, at the next engine shop visit 

or within 12,500 engine flight cycles since 

the last shop visit, whichever occurs first, 

replace the four LPC ice impact panels with 

panels eligible for installation. 

(f) Definition 

(1) For the purposes of this AD, an ‘‘engine 

shop visit’’ is the induction of an engine into 

the shop for maintenance involving the 

separation of pairs of major mating engine 

flanges. The separation of engine flanges 

solely for the purpose of transportation 

without subsequent engine maintenance does 

not constitute an engine shop visit. 

(2) For the purposes of this AD, a panel 

that is ‘‘eligible for installation’’ is a new LPC 

impact panel or one that has been repaired 

using RRD Alert Non-Modification Service 

Bulletin (NMSB) No. ALERT SB–BR700–72– 

A900281, dated July 1, 2013. 

(g) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

The Manager, Engine Certification Office,
