ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Austro Engine GmbH (Austro) Model E4 

and E4P engines. This AD was 

prompted by reports of engine failures 

and an investigation where cracks were 

discovered on the pistons. This AD 

requires repetitive borescope 

inspections (BSIs) for cracks on the 

pistons, and, if necessary, removal from 

service and replacement of the piston, 

and a fuel sample analysis for water 

contamination and, if contamination is 

found, replacement of the high-pressure 

pump (HPP), injectors, and fuel rails. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address 

the unsafe condition on these products.

Background 

The European Union Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Union, has issued EASA 

Emergency AD 2024–0172–E, dated 

August 28, 2024 (EASA AD 2024–0172– 

E) (also referred to as the MCAI), to 

correct an unsafe condition on certain 

Austro Model E4 and E4P engines 

having a piston part number (P/N) E4A– 

72–400–000. The MCAI states that 

engine failures have been reported, 

where, during subsequent inspection, 

cracks on the piston were identified. 

During the following investigation, it 

was determined that only affected parts 

(pistons P/N E4A–72–400–000) are 

subject to that failure. Further 

investigation is on-going to determine 

the root cause of that failure. This 

condition, if not corrected, could lead to 

engine failure with consequent reduced 

control of the airplane and, for singleengine airplanes, damage to the airplane 

and injury to occupants during an 

emergency landing. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2024–2313. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Austro Mandatory 

Service Bulletin No. MSB–E4–043/0, 

dated August 27, 2024, which specifies, 

among other things, procedures for 

repetitive BSIs for cracks on the pistons. 

This material 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. 

FAA’s Determination 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and material 

referenced above. The FAA is issuing 

this AD after determining that the 

unsafe condition described previously is 

likely to exist or develop on other 

products of the same type design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires repetitive BSIs for 

cracks on the pistons and, if necessary, 

removal from service and replacement 

of the piston, and a fuel sample analysis 

for water contamination and, if 

contamination is found, replacement of 

the HPP, injectors, and fuel rails. 

Interim Action 

The FAA considers that this AD is an 

interim action. The unsafe condition is 

still under investigation by the 

manufacturer and, depending on the 

results of that investigation, the FAA 

may consider further rulemaking action. 

Justification for Immediate Adoption 

and Determination of the Effective Date 

Section 553(b) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 551 et 

seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense 

with notice and comment procedures 

for rules when the agency, for ‘‘good 

cause,’’ finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under this 

section, an agency, upon finding good 

cause, may issue a final rule without 

providing notice and seeking comment 

prior to issuance. Further, section 

553(d) of the APA authorizes agencies to 

make rules effective in less than thirty 

days, upon a finding of good cause. 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD without providing an opportunity 

for public comments prior to adoption. 

The FAA has found that the risk to the 

flying public justifies forgoing notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because cracks on the pistons, if not 

corrected, could lead to engine failure 

with consequent reduced control of the 

airplane and, for single-engine 

airplanes, damage to the airplane and 

injury to occupants during an 

emergency landing. The FAA has 

determined that these engines will need 

to be inspected before 100 or 200 flight 

hours after installation depending on 

the engine model. Based on the fleet 

usage of these engines, many of these 

engines will need an inspection before 

further flight and most within 3 months. 

These compliance times are shorter than 

the time necessary for the public to 

comment and for publication of the final 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
77774 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

rule. Accordingly, notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

are impracticable and contrary to the 

public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(b). 

In addition, the FAA finds that good 

cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) 

for making this amendment effective in 

less than 30 days, for the same reasons 

the FAA found good cause to forgo 

notice and comment. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) do not apply when 

an agency finds good cause pursuant to 

5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without 

prior notice and comment. Because the 

FAA has determined that it has good 

cause to adopt this rule without prior 

notice and comment, RFA analysis is 

not required. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 20 engines installed on airplanes 

of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Perform BSI of the piston ............................... 5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $425 ............. $0 $425 $8,500 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary replacements 

and follow-on inspections that would be 

required based on the results of the 

inspection. The agency has no way of 

determining the number of engines that 

might need these replacements and 

follow-on inspections. 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product 

Replace the piston .................................................. 60 work-hours × $85 per hour = $5,100 ................ $2,216 $7,316 

Perform fuel sample analysis ................................. 1 work-hours × $85 per hour = $85 ....................... 0 85 

Replace the injectors, HPP, and fuel rails .............. 60 work-hours × $85 per hour = $5,100 ................ 2,216 7,316 

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. 

The FAA is 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, 

and 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska.
