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 AD: 

2013–05–20 Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & 

Co KG (formerly Rolls-Royce 

Deutschland GmbH, formerly RollsRoyce plc): Amendment 39–17392; 

Docket No. FAA–2012–1006; Directorate 

Identifier 2012–NE–28–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes 

effective April 24, 2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Rolls-Royce 

Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Spey 511– 

8 turbojet engines, serial numbers 8847, 

8853, 8879, 8989, 8994, and 9817, with a date 

of the last shop visit before November 15, 

2007. 

(d) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a recent quality 

review determination that bolts with reduced 

material properties may have been installed 

in some engines. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent uncontained turbine disc fracture 

and damage to the airplane. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions for engines with a date of the last 

shop visit before November 15, 2007: 

(1) If engine cycles accumulated since the 

last engine shop visit are 4,400 cycles or 

more on the effective date of this AD, 

visually inspect the bolts installed in the 

low-pressure turbine (LPT) support assembly, 

high-pressure turbine (HPT) bearing support 

assembly, and HPT air seal sleeve within 100 

engine cycles-in-service. 

(2) If engine cycles accumulated since the 

last engine shop visit are fewer than 4,400 

cycles on the effective date of this AD, 

visually inspect the bolts installed in the LPT 

support assembly, HPT bearing support 

assembly, and HPT air seal sleeve before 

accumulating 4,500 engine cycles since the 

last shop visit. 

(3) If you identify any broken bolt, brown 

bolt, or bolt with a rough oxidized surface, 

replace all bolts of the inspected engine 

flange with new bolts before further flight. 

(4) If you find any broken bolt in the LPT 

support assembly, visually inspect the LPT 

stage 2 disc for damage before further flight. 

(5) If you find any broken bolt in the HPT 

shaft air seal sleeve, visually inspect the HPT 

stage 1 disc for damage before further flight. 

(f) Installation Prohibition 

After the effective date of this AD, do not 

install any LPT support assembly, HPT 

bearing support assembly, or HPT air seal 

sleeve into any engine, or any engine onto an 

airplane, unless the affected bolts have been 

inspected and replaced if necessary, and the 

LPT stage 2 disc and HPT stage 1 disc have 

been inspected if necessary, as specified in 

paragraph (e) of this AD. 

(g) Definition 

For the purpose of this AD, a shop visit is 

when the engine is inducted into the shop for 

any maintenance involving the separation of 

pairs of major mating engine flanges (lettered 

flanges). However, the separation of engine 

flanges solely for the purposes of transporting 

the engine 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 to this AD. Use 

the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to 

make your request.

Docket No. 12–AAL–2] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Scammon Bay, AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace at Scammon Bay Airport, 

Scammon Bay, AK. Controlled airspace 

is necessary to accommodate aircraft 

using a new Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at Scammon Bay Airport. 

This action enhances the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, June 

27, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On May 9, 2012, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to modify 

controlled airspace at Scammon Bay, 

AK (77 FR 27146). 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 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
17084 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

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 Scammon Bay Airport, Scammon 

Bay, AK. Additional controlled airspace 

is necessary to accommodate aircraft 

using the new RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Scammon Bay Airport and for the safety 

and management of IFR operations. 

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 Scammon Bay 

Airport, Scammon Bay, AK. 

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.
