ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Turbomeca S.A. Makila 2A and 2A1 

turboshaft engines. This AD requires 

tightening the nut attaching the swivel 

union to the engine power turbine 

module M04. This AD was prompted by 

two occurrences of commanded in-flight 

shutdown following low oil pressure 

warning. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent loosening of the nut and oil 

leakage from the low-pressure oil 

system, which could lead to in-flight 

shutdown of the engine and forced 

landing. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 

6, 2016. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by May 6, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA AD 2016– 

0016, dated January 15, 2016 (referred to 

hereinafter as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Two occurrences of commanded in-flight 

shut down following low oil pressure 

warning were reported. In both cases the nut 

attaching the swivel union to the power 

turbine module 04 was found completely 

loose. After further investigation, it was 

determined that the application of 

Turbomeca Service Bulletin (SB) No. 298 79 

2831 may have led to incorrect torque 

application or loosening of the nut. 

Turbomeca S.A. has issued Alert 

Mandatory Service Bulletin No. A298 79 

2835, Version A, dated January 14, 

2016, to provide guidance to assist 

operators in resolving this unsafe 

condition. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2016– 

2701. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of France 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. This 

AD requires tightening the nut attaching 

the swivel union to the engine power 

turbine module M04. 

Related Service Information 

Turbomeca S.A. has issued Alert 

Mandatory Service Bulletin No. A298 79 

2835, Version A, dated January 14, 

2016. The service information describes 

procedures for tightening the nut 

attaching the swivel union to the engine 

power turbine module (M04). 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 document. 

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 operators are required to 

take action with 7 days or 30 engine 

hours after the effective date of this AD. 

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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 10 

engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it will 

take about 1 hour per engine to comply 

with this AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per hour. No additional parts are 

required. Based on these figures, we 

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

operators to be $850. 

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), 

(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.

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

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): 

2016–06–09 Turbomeca S.A.: Amendment 

39–18440; Docket No. FAA–2016–2701; 

Directorate Identifier 2016–NE–03–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective April 6, 2016. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Turbomeca S.A. 

Makila 2A and 2A1 turboshaft engines that 

have incorporated Turbomeca S.A. Service 

Bulletin No. 298 79 2831, Version B, dated 

November 13, 2015, or earlier. 

(d) Reason 

This AD was prompted by two occurrences 

of in-flight shutdowns as a result of the nut, 

attaching the swivel union to the power 

turbine module M04, coming loose. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent loosening of the 

nut, and oil leakage from the low pressure oil 

system, which could lead to in-flight 

shutdown of the engine and forced landing. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(1) Within 30 engine hours or 7 days after 

the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first, apply 15 Newton-meters torque 

to the nut, part number 9560130990, 

attaching the swivel union to the engine 

power turbine module M04. Use a backup 

wrench to prevent the swivel union from 

rotating.

interstate natural gas pipelines. This 

correction restores that text to the 

regulation. In addition, due to style
