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

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

**SUMMARY :**  We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all RR RB211–535E4–37, –535E4–B–37, –535E4–B–75, and –535E4–C–37 turbofan engines. The existing AD currently requires performing initial and repetitive visual and fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPI) of the low-pressure (LP) turbine stage 1, 2, and 3 discs to detect cracks in the discs. Since we issued that AD, we determined that the definition of shop visit is too restrictive in the existing AD. This proposed AD would continue to require those inspections and would change the definition of a shop visit to be less restrictive. We are proposing this AD to correct the definition of shop visit, and to detect cracks in the LP turbine stage 1, 2, and 3 discs, which could result in an uncontained release of LP turbine blades and damage to the airplane.

**DATES :**  We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 27,
2011.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this proposed AD because of those

Discussion

On May 20, 2011, we issued AD 2011–11–08, Amendment 39–16707 (76 FR 30529, May 26, 2011), for all RR RB211–535E4–37, –535E4–B–37, –535E4–B–75, and –535E4–C–37 turbofan engines. That AD requires performing an initial FPI on the LP turbine stage 1, 2, and 3 discs at the next engine shop inspection after the effective date of that AD. That AD also requires repetitive inspections at each engine shop visit after accumulating 1,500 cycles since last inspection of the LP turbine stage 1, 2, and 3 discs. That AD resulted from several findings of cracking at the firtrees of LP turbine discs. We issued that AD to detect cracks in the LP turbine stage 1, 2, and 3 discs, which could result in an uncontained release of LP turbine blades and damage to the airplane. Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

Since we issued AD 2011–11–08, Amendment 39–16707 (76 FR 30529, May 26, 2011), we found that the definition of ‘‘shop visit’’ in the AD is too restrictive, in that it would require operators to inspect more often than required to ensure safety. Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 588 RB211–535 series turbofan engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 30 work-hours per product to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. No parts are required. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $1,499,400.

FAA’s Determination

We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant information and determined that the definition of shop visit is too restrictive, and to correct the unsafe condition described previously. This condition is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design. Proposed AD Requirements

This AD requires accomplishing the same requirements as AD 2011–11–08 (76 FR 30529, May 26, 2011), except the definition of shop visit has been redefined. 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 have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed regulation:

(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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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 removing airworthiness directive (AD) 2011–11–08, Amendment 39–16707 (76 FR 30529, May 26, 2011), and adding the following new AD:
Rolls-Royce plc: Docket No. FAA–2009– 0994; Directorate Identifier 2009–NE–
39–AD.
(a) Comments Due Date

The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by December 27, 2011.

(b) Affected ADs

This AD supersedes AD 2011–11–08, Amendment 39–16707 (76 FR 30529, May 26, 2011).
(c) Applicability

This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc RB211– 535E4–37, –535E4–B–37, –535E4–B–75, and –535E4–C–37 turbofan engines.

(d) Unsafe Condition

This AD was prompted by our determination that the definition of ‘‘shop visit’’ in the existing AD is too restrictive, in that it would require operators to inspect more often than required to ensure safety. We are issuing this AD to correct the definitionof shop visit, and to detect cracks in the lowpressure (LP) turbine stage 1, 2, and 3 discs, which could result in an uncontained release of LP turbine blades and damage to the airplane.
(e) Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
(1) Initial Inspection Requirements

At the next engine shop visit after the effective date of this AD, perform a visual and a fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) of the LP turbine stage 1, 2, and 3 discs.
(2) Repeat Inspection Requirements

At each engine shop visit after accumulating 1,500 cycles since the last inspection of the LP turbine stage 1, 2 and 3 discs, repeat the inspections specified in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD.

(3) Remove Cracked Discs

If you find cracks, remove the disc from service.

**COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION** 

**17 CFR Chapter 1**

**Effective Date for Swap Regulation**

**AGENCY :**  Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed amendment.

**SUMMARY :**  On July 14, 2011, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’ or the ‘‘Commission’’) issued a final order (‘‘July 14 Order’’) that grants temporary exemptive relief from certain provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) that otherwise would have taken effect on the general effective date of title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (‘‘the Dodd-Frank Act’’)—July 16, 2011. The July 14 Order grants temporary relief in two parts. The first part addresses those CEA provisions added or amended by title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act that reference one or more terms regarding entities or instruments that title VII requires be ‘‘further defined’’ to the extent that requirements or portions of such provisions specifically relate to such referenced terms and do not require a rulemaking. The second part, which is based on part 35 of the Commission’s regulations, addresses certain provisions of the CEA that may apply to certain agreements, contracts, and transactions in exempt or excluded commodities as a result of the repeal of various CEA exemptions and exclusions as of the general effective date of July 16, 2011. This is a notice of a proposed amendment to that July 14 Order, 76 FR 42508 (July 19, 2011), that would modify the temporary exemptive relief provided therein by extending the potential latest expiration date of the July 14 Order; and adding provisions to account for the repeal and replacement (as of December 31, 2011) of part 35 of the Commission’s regulations. Only comments pertaining to these proposed amendments to the July 14 Order will be considered as part of this notice of proposed amendment.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Act into law. 1 Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act amends the CEA 2 to establish a comprehensive new regulatory framework for swaps. The legislation was enacted to reduce risk, increase transparency, and promote market integrity within the financial system by, among other things: (1) Providing for the registration and comprehensive regulation of swap dealers and major swap participants; (2) imposing clearing and trade execution requirements on standardized derivative products; (3) creating robust recordkeeping and real-time reporting regimes; and (4) enhancing the rulemaking and enforcement authorities of the Commission with respect to, among others, all registered entities and intermediaries subject to the Commission’s oversight. 3

Section 754 of the Dodd-Frank Act states that, unless otherwise provided, the provisions of subtitle A of title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act 4 ‘‘shall take
