**Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Turbofan Engines** 

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

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

**SUMMARY :**  We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Pratt & Whitney (PW) PW4164–1D, PW4168– 1D, PW4168A–1D and PW4170 engines, and certain PW4164, PW4168, and PW4168A turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by fuel nozzle-to-fuel supply manifold interface fuel leaks. This proposed AD would require inspecting fuel nozzles for signs of leakage, replacing hardware as required, and torqueing to specified requirement. We are proposing this AD to prevent fuel leaks which could result in engine fire and damage to the airplane.

**DATES :**  We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 22, 2015.

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

Discussion

We received reports of four fuel nozzle leaks in service and an additional six fuel nozzle leaks found during shop visits. The root cause isinadequate torque of the fuel nozzle-tofuel supply manifold B-nuts for the temperatures that the fuel nozzles experience. This condition, if not corrected, could result in engine fire and damage to the airplane.


### 22141 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 76 / Tuesday, April 21, 2015 / Proposed Rules

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

We reviewed PW Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. PW4G–100–A73–44, dated October 10, 2014. This service information contains information regarding fuel nozzle manifold inspection and fuel nozzle-to-fuel supply manifold B-nut torque requirements. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business

or see **ADDRESSES** for other ways to access this service information.

FAA’s Determination

We are proposing this NPRM because we evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design. Proposed AD Requirements

This NPRM would require inspecting the fuel nozzle-to-fuel supply manifold interface for evidence of leaks and replacing hardware in cases where fuel leaks are identified. This NPRM also requires torqueing certain B-nuts to the specified requirement. Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

PW ASB No. PW4G–100–A73–44 uses calendar dates for compliance time. This NPRM uses cycles. Using cycles from the effective date of the AD supports the intent of the ASB and ensures adequate compliance time after the effective date of the AD. Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 72 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. We estimate that parts replacement will cost about $1,356 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $391,392. 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 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 this 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 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. 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 adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD):

2011.
(d) Unsafe Condition

This AD was prompted by fuel nozzle-tofuel supply manifold interface fuel leaks. We are issuing this AD to prevent fuel leaks which could result in engine fire and damage to the airplane.

(2) Replace hardware that fails an inspection. Use the Accomplishment Instructions, Part A, of PW ASB No. PW4G– 100–A73–44, dated October 10, 2014 to do the replacement.
(f) Mandatory Terminating Action

(1) Inspect all fuel nozzle-to-fuel supply manifold interfaces for fuel leaks, soot, and coke formation, replace hardware that failsinspection, and re-torque all fuel nozzle-tofuel supply manifold B-nuts as follows:

(i) For engines with fewer than 1,500 cycles on the effective date of this AD, before accumulating another 650 cycles, not to exceed 1,900 cycles.

(g) Definition

For the purpose of this AD ‘‘cycles’’ is defined as cycles since new or cycles since the incorporation of PW SB No. PW4G–100– 72–214, dated December 15, 2011 or SB No. PW4G–100–72–219, Revision 1, dated October 5, 2011.
(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

The Manager, Engine Certification Office, FAA, may approve AMOCs for this AD. Use the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to make your request. You may email your request to: ANE–AD–AMOC@faa.gov
