Discussion 

Transport Canada, which is the 

aviation authority for Canada, has 

issued Canada Airworthiness Directive 

CF–2013–02, dated January 22, 2013, a 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information (referred to after this as ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products. The MCAI 

states: 

There have been various reported incidents 

of P&WC PW100 series engine failures 

caused by the fracturing of the 1st Stage 

Power turbine (PT1) blade. Some of the above 

cases have resulted in engine fires. Further 

investigation by P&WC has traced the 

affected PT1 blade failures to undetected 

shrinkage porosity of unacceptable levels 

within the blade casting. Service experience 

indicates that the blades manufactured 

between 2005 and 2008 exhibit a higher 

propensity for unacceptable levels of 

shrinkage porosity. 

This proposed AD would require 

inspection of the blades for shrinkage 

porosity and replacement with blades 

eligible for installation for those blades 

that fail the inspection. 

You may obtain further information 

by examining the MCAI in the AD 

docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

P&WC has issued Alert Service 

Bulletin No. PW100–72–21823, 

Revision 3, dated March 8, 2013. The 

actions described in this service 

information are intended to correct the 

unsafe condition identified in the 

MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of Canada and is 

approved for operation in the United 

States. Pursuant to our bilateral 

agreement with Canada, they have 

notified us of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and service 

information referenced above. We are 

proposing this AD because we evaluated 

all information provided by Canada and 

determined the unsafe condition exists 

and is likely to exist or develop on other 

products of the same type design. This 

proposed AD would require inspection 

of the 1st stage PT blades and the 

removal from service of those blades 

that fail the inspection or their 

replacement with blades eligible for 

installation. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect about 540 engines installed 

on U.S. airplanes. We also estimate that 

it would take about 1.5 hours per engine 

to perform the inspection or 

replacement required by this proposed 

AD. The average labor rate is $85 per 

hour. We estimate that 25% of the 

engines inspected would fail at least one 

1st stage PT blade. If the 1st stage PT 

blade fails the inspection, a replacement 

blade would cost $6,000. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of the 

inspection or replacement to U.S. 

operators to be $878,850. 

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 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 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 66 / Friday, April 5, 2013 / Proposed Rules 20505 

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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211–524B–02; 

–524B2–19; –524B3–02; –524B4–02;

–535E4–B–37, and –535E4–B–75 

turbofan engines, and all RB211– 

524G2–19; –524G3–19; –524H2–19; and 

–524H–36 turbofan engines. This 

proposed AD was prompted by the 

discovery of a cracked and distorted 

front combustion liner (FCL) metering 

panel, which was made from the wrong 

material. This proposed AD would 

require a one-time inspection of the FCL 

metering panel to determine if it was 

made from N75 material and replacing 

it with one made from C263 material if 

it was made from N75 material. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent hot gas 

burning through the engine casing, 

which could result in an under-cowl fire 

and damage to the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 4, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:
