35192 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 118 / Friday, June 19, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

estimate the total cost of this AD to U.S. 

operators to be $0. 

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.

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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): 

2015–12–10 Pratt & Whitney Division: 

Amendment 39–18185; Docket No. 

FAA–2015–0266; Directorate Identifier 

2015–NE–03–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective July 6, 2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Pratt & Whitney 

Division (PW) PW6122A and PW6124A 

turbofan engines with high-pressure 

compressor (HPC) 7th stage integrally bladed 

(IB) rotor, part number (P/N) 5495637, 

installed. 

(d) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of crack

issuing this AD to prevent HPC 7th stage IB 

rotor fractures, which could lead to 

uncontained engine failure and damage to 

the airplane. 

(e) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(1) Within 180 cycles after the effective 

date of this AD or within 6,500 cycles 

accumulated on the HPC 7th stage IB rotor, 

whichever occurs later, borescope inspect the 

HPC 7th stage IB rotor for cracks. Use 

Appendix 1, paragraphs 5 and 6 of PW 

Engineering Authorization 15MM008, 

Revision A, dated March 24, 2015, to do your 

inspection. Thereafter, repeat the inspection 

at every 1,000 cycles since last inspection. 

(2) If any crack is detected on the HPC 7th 

stage IB rotor, then before further flight, 

replace the HPC 7th stage IB rotor with a part 

eligible for installation. 

(f) Mandatory Terminating Action 

(1) At the next shop visit after the effective 

date of this AD: 

(i) Replace the affected HPC 7th stage IB

Bulletin No. PW6ENG 72–46, dated March 5, 

2015 to perform the removal and 

replacement. 

(g) Definition 

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 purposes of transportation 

without subsequent engine maintenance, is 

not an engine shop visit. 

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

The Manager, Engine Certification Office, 

FAA, may approve AMOCs for this AD. Use 

the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 

0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD was 

prompted by a report of two cases of 

heavy (hard to move) aileron control 

caused by aileron cables stuck in a 

clump of ice in the wheel bay. This AD 

requires installing drain tubes on the 

center wing rear spar. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent accumulated water 

near or on the aileron control cables, 

which could freeze and result in 

reduced control of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 

24, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of July 24, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 

Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on August 4, 2014 (79 FR 

45137). The NPRM was prompted by a 

report of two cases of heavy (hard to 

move) aileron control caused by aileron 

cables stuck in a clump of ice in the 

wheel bay. The NPRM proposed to 

require installing drain tubes on the 

center wing rear spar. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent accumulated water 

near or on the aileron control cables, 

which could freeze and result in 

reduced control of the airplane. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2013–0140, 

dated July 12, 2013 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 

Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The 

MCAI states: 

Two cases have been reported of heavy 

aileron control caused by aileron cables stuck 

in a clump of ice in the wheel bay. 

Investigation results revealed that, in case of 

water accumulation on the top of the center 

wing torsion box inside the cabin (zones 171 

and 172), the water drains through the 

existing drain holes/gaps in the web plates 

on top of the center wing rear spar. The water 

could then accumulate in the area where the 

aileron control cables are situated. With the 

freezing temperatures normally encountered 

during flight, ice accretion could occur near 

or even on the aileron control cables. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in reduced control of the aeroplane. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires the installation of drain 

tubes on the center wing rear spar. 

You may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0492- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 45137, August 4, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

45137, August 4, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 45137, 

August 4, 2014). 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Fokker Services B.V. has issued 

Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100–51– 

021, dated April 23, 2013, including the

This service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section of 

this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 4 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 8 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this AD. The average labor rate is $85 

per work-hour. Required parts will cost 

about $1,380 per product. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this AD on U.S. operators to be $8,240, 

or $2,060 per product. 

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 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES
35194 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 118 / Friday, June 19, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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 the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in 

Alaska; 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.
