■ 4. Revise § 52.99 to read as follows: 

§ 52.99 Inspection during construction; 

ITAAC schedules and notifications; NRC 

notices. 

(a) Licensee schedule for completing 

inspections, tests, or analyses. The 

licensee shall submit to the NRC, no 

later than 1 year after issuance of the 

combined license or at the start of 

construction as defined at 10 CFR 

50.10(a), whichever is later, its schedule 

for completing the inspections, tests, or 

analyses in the ITAAC. The licensee 

shall submit updates to the ITAAC 

schedules every 6 months thereafter 

and, within 1 year of its scheduled date 

for initial loading of fuel, the licensee 

shall submit updates to the ITAAC 

schedule every 30 days until the final 

notification is provided to the NRC 

under paragraph (c)(1) of this section. 

(b) Licensee and applicant conduct of 

activities subject to ITAAC. With respect 

to activities subject to an ITAAC, an 

applicant for a combined license may 

proceed at its own risk with design and 

procurement activities, and a licensee 

may proceed at its own risk with design, 

procurement, construction, and 

preoperational activities, even though 

the NRC may not have found that any 

one of the prescribed acceptance criteria 

are met. 

(c) Licensee notifications—(1) ITAAC 

closure notification. The licensee shall 

notify the NRC that prescribed 

inspections, tests, and analyses have 

been performed and that the prescribed 

acceptance criteria are met. The 

notification must contain sufficient 

information to demonstrate that the 

prescribed inspections, tests, and 

analyses have been performed and that 

the prescribed acceptance criteria are 

met. 

(2) ITAAC post-closure notifications. 

Following the licensee’s ITAAC closure 

notifications under paragraph (c)(1) of 

this section until the Commission makes 

the finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g), the 

licensee shall notify the NRC, in a 

timely manner, of new information that 

materially alters the basis for 

determining that either inspections, 

tests, or analyses were performed as 

required, or that acceptance criteria are 

met. The notification must contain 

sufficient information to demonstrate 

that, notwithstanding the new 

information, the prescribed inspections, 

tests, or analyses have been performed 

as required, and the prescribed 

acceptance criteria are met. 

(3) Uncompleted ITAAC notification. 

If the licensee has not provided, by the 

date 225 days before the scheduled date 

for initial loading of fuel, the 

notification required by paragraph (c)(1) 

of this section for all ITAAC, then the 

licensee shall notify the NRC that the 

prescribed inspections, tests, or analyses 

for all uncompleted ITAAC will be 

performed and that the prescribed 

acceptance criteria will be met prior to 

operation. The notification must be 

provided no later than the date 225 days 

before the scheduled date for initial 

loading of fuel, and must provide 

sufficient information to demonstrate 

that the prescribed inspections, tests, or 

analyses will be performed and the 

prescribed acceptance criteria for the 

uncompleted ITAAC will be met, 

including, but not limited to, a 

description of the specific procedures 

and analytical methods to be used for 

performing the prescribed inspections, 

tests, and analyses and determining that 

the prescribed acceptance criteria are 

met. 

(4) All ITAAC complete notification. 

The licensee shall notify the NRC that 

all ITAAC are complete. 

(d) Licensee determination of noncompliance with ITAAC. (1) In the event 

that an activity is subject to an ITAAC 

derived from a referenced standard 

design certification and the licensee has 

not demonstrated that the prescribed 

acceptance criteria are met, the licensee 

may take corrective actions to 

successfully complete that ITAAC or 

request an exemption from the standard 

design certification ITAAC, as 

applicable. 

A request for an exemption must also 

be accompanied by a request for a 

license amendment under 10 CFR 

52.98(f). 

(2) In the event that an activity is 

subject to an ITAAC not derived from a 

referenced standard design certification 

and the licensee has not demonstrated 

that the prescribed acceptance criteria 

are met, the licensee may take corrective 

actions to successfully complete that 

ITAAC or request a license amendment 

under 10 CFR 52.98(f). 

(e) NRC inspection, publication of 

notices, and availability of licensee 

notifications. The NRC shall ensure that 

the prescribed inspections, tests, and 

analyses in the ITAAC are performed. 

(1) At appropriate intervals until the 

last date for submission of requests for 

hearing under 10 CFR 52.103(a), the 

NRC shall publish notices in the 

Federal Register of the NRC staff’s 

determination of the successful 

completion of inspections, tests, and 

analyses. 

(2) The NRC shall make publicly 

available the licensee notifications 

under paragraph (c) of this section. The 

NRC shall, no later than the date of 

publication of the notice of intended 

operation required by 10 CFR 52.103(a), 

make publicly available those licensee 

notifications under paragraph (c) of this 

section that have been submitted to the 

NRC at least seven (7) days before that 

notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on February 21, 2012 (77 FR 

9868). That NPRM proposed to require 

replacing affected LPT1 rotor assemblies 

with LPT1 rotor assemblies eligible for 

installation. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the one comment 

received on the proposal and the FAA’s 

response to the comment. 

Request To Clarify Definition 

Paragraph 

One commenter requested we change 

a term in paragraph (h) of the proposed 

AD. The commenter requested that ‘‘tie 

rod’’ be changed to ‘‘tie shaft.’’ The 

commenter said that making this change 

would allow a level of disassembly to 

access the inlet total temperature 

harness and other hardware without 

affecting the low-pressure turbine (LPT) 

module. 

We do not agree. Mandating access to 

the LPT module in the AD and suspect 

disks when the tie rod is unstretched is 

consistent in achieving AD compliance 

sooner for the Falcon 20 and CASA 101 

airplanes. LPT disk separations in these 

airplanes have been determined to be 

higher risk than for engines in other 

applications. We did not change the AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the 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 (77 FR 9868, 

February 21, 2012) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 9868, 

February 21, 2012). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

1,550 engines installed on airplanes of 

U.S. registry. We also estimate that it 

will take about 1 work-hour per engine 

to perform the actions at next access and 

165 work-hours per unscheduled engine 

disassembly, and that the average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Replacement 

parts will cost about $175,000 per 

engine. Based on these figures, we 

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

operators to be $35,195,488 per year. 

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, 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.
