**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On January 6, 2016 (81 FR 371), the NRC published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to include Amendment No. 9, Revision 1, of Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 for the HI–STORM 100 Cask System. Amendment No. 9, Revision 1, changes cooling time limits for thimble plug devices, removes certain testing requirements for the fabrication of Metamic HT neutron-absorbing structural material, and reduces certain minimum guaranteed values used in bounding calculations for this material. Amendment No. 9, Revision 1, also changes fuel definitions to classify certain boiling water reactor fuel within specified guidelines as undamaged fuel. In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become effective on March 21, 2016. The NRC did not receive any comments on the direct final rule. Therefore, this direct final rule will become effective as scheduled.

**Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca S.A. Turboshaft Engines** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. 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.
