45562 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 148 / Tuesday, August 3, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by 

September 17, 2010. 

Affected Airworthiness Directives (ADs) 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc 

RB211–Trent 895–17, 892–17, 892B–17, 884– 

17, 884B–17, 877–17 and 875–17 turbofan 

engines. These engines are installed on, but 

not limited to, Boeing 777 series airplanes. 

Reason 

(d) This AD results from: 

Revision of the Critical Part lives has been 

necessary due to actual operational flight 

profiles not conforming to those assumed at 

entry into service and is associated with a 

revised Flight Profile Monitoring 

methodology (originally based on engine 

thrust rating but now based on operating 

shaft speeds) introduced by Rolls-Royce. 

The new Flight Profile Monitoring 

methodology allows for seven new profiles 

replacing the previous three. Six of these 

profiles, A to F, are intended to cover the 

requirements of most operators. The Declared 

Life (in Standard Duty Cycles) is published 

for each part and life usage may be accounted 

by factoring the number of flights flown. The 

factor to be used is defined according to the 

Flight Profile which is applicable to the fleet. 

The seventh profile, called ‘‘Heavy’’, will be 

applicable to fleets operating outside profiles 

A to F. A separate Declared Life (in Flight 

Cycles) is published for each part and life 

usage is accounted without factoring. 

This AD is necessary as life reductions are 

applicable in some cases and failure to 

comply with the revised life limits could 

result in an unsafe condition. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent failure 

of critical rotating parts from exceeding the 

new, lower life limits, which could result in 

uncontained failure of the engine and 

damage to the airplane. 

Actions and Compliance 

(e) Compliance is required within 30 days 

after the effective date of this AD, unless 

already done, do the following actions. 

(1) Revise the airworthiness limitations 

section (ALS) of your instructions for 

continued airworthiness (ICA) to incorporate 

Task 05–10–01–800–801, ‘‘Critical and 

Critical Group A Parts Lives—Multiple Flight 

Profile Monitoring’’ and Task 05–10–01–800– 

802, ‘‘Critical and Critical Group A Parts 

Lives in the HEAVY Flight Profile’’ of the 

Rolls-Royce Trent 800 Time Limits manual 

(TLM) dated June 15, 2009. 

(2) Thereafter, do not revise the ALS of 

your ICA by incorporating any revision of the 

Rolls-Royce Trent 800 TLM dated prior to the 

June 15, 2009 revision. 

FAA AD Differences 

(f) This AD differs from the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information 

(MCAI) and or service information as follows: 

(1) The MCAI AD requires revising the 

airworthiness limitations section no later 

than January 31, 2007. This AD requires 

revising the airworthiness limitations section 

within 30 days after the effective date of this 

AD. 

(2) This AD prohibits incorporating into 

the ALS of the ICA, any revision of the RollsRoyce Trent 800 TLM earlier than the June 

15, 2009. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(g) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Engine Certification 

Office, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

on enhancing airline passenger 

protections that proposed to improve 

the air travel environment for

consumers by: (1) Increasing the number 

of carriers that are required to adopt 

tarmac delay contingency plans and the 

airports at which they must adhere to 

the plan’s terms; (2) increasing the 

number of carriers that are required to 

report tarmac delay information to the 

Department; (3) expanding the group of 

carriers that are required to adopt, 

follow, and audit customer service plans 

and establishing minimum standards for 

the subjects all carriers must cover in 

such plans; (4) requiring carriers to 

include their contingency plans and 

customer service plans in their contracts 

of carriage; (5) increasing the number of 

carriers that must respond to consumer 

complaints; (6) enhancing protections 

afforded passengers in oversales 

situations, including increasing the 

maximum denied boarding 

compensation airlines must pay to 

passengers bumped from flights; (7) 

strengthening, codifying and clarifying 

the Department’s enforcement policies 

concerning air transportation price 

advertising practices; (8) requiring 

carriers to notify consumers of optional 

fees related to air transportation and of 

increases in baggage fees; (9) prohibiting 

post-purchase price increases; (10) 

requiring carriers to provide passengers 

timely notice of flight status changes 

such as delays and cancellations; (11) 

prohibiting carriers from imposing 

unfair contract of carriage choice-offorum provisions; and (12) soliciting 

comments on options to provide greater 

access to air travel for persons with 

peanut allergies. See 75 FR 32318 (June 

8, 2010). Comments on the matters 

proposed were to be received 60 days 

after publication of the NPRM, or by 

August 9, 2010. 

We received requests for an extension 

of time in the comment period for this 

rulemaking by the Airport Council 

International (ACI), Association of Asia 

Pacific Airlines (AAPA), Association of 

European Airlines (AEA), Latin 

American & Caribbean Air Transport 

Association (ALTA), National Airlines 

Council of Canada (NACC), 

International Air Carrier Association 

(IACA), International Air Transport 

Association (IATA) and Societe Air 

France & KLM Royal Dutch. We also 

received a joint statement in support of 

IATA’s request for an extension of the 

comment period by the Air Transport 

Association (ATA), Regional Airline 

Association (RAA) and Air Carrier 

Association of America (ACAA). 

According to these requests, the 

extension of time is needed so the 

airlines have sufficient time to review 

and comment on the extensive and 

complex proposed rule. More 

specifically, the petitioners note, among 

other things, the need to consult with 

multiple offices on the cost, timing and 

feasibility of the proposals, the need to 

analyze any international law 

implications, the need to evaluate and 

respond to the preliminary regulatory 

analysis, the need to coordinate and 

assess several areas addressed in this 

proposal against other U.S. Government 

proposals or requirements, the need to 

understand the implications in this 

proposal considering its breadth, and 

the need to address the various specific 

issues discussed in the preamble on 

which comments are sought but for 

which there is no corresponding 

proposed regulatory text. Most of the 

petitioners requested an additional 60 

days time, a few requested an additional 

90 days time, and one supported an 

additional 30 days time. 

While we concur with the requests for 

an extension of the comment period, we 

believe that a 90-day or 60-day 

extension would be excessive. We have 

decided to grant an extension of 45 

days, or until September 23, 2010, for 

the public to comment on the NPRM. In 

doing so, we have balanced the stated 

need for additional time for comments 

with the need to proceed expeditiously 

with this important rulemaking. We take 

note of the fact that with the additional 

45 days we are granting here, interested 

parties will have a total of 105 days to 

comment on the proposals, which we 

believe is adequate time for analysis and 

coordination regarding the proposals. 

Accordingly, the Department finds that 

good cause exists to extend the time for 

comments on the proposed rule from 

August 9, 2010, to September 23, 2010. 

We do not anticipate any further 

extension of the comment period for 

this rulemaking. 

Issued this 29th day of July, 2010, in 

Washington, DC under authority assigned to 

me by 14 CFR 385.17(c).

BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

31 CFR Part 50 

RIN 1505–AC24 

Terrorism Risk Insurance Program; 

Final Netting 

AGENCY: Departmental Offices, Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury (‘‘Treasury’’) is issuing this 

proposed rule as part of its 

implementation of Title I of the 

Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 

(‘‘TRIA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’), as amended by the 

Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act 

of 2005 (‘‘Extension Act’’) and the 

Terrorism Risk Insurance Program 

Reauthorization Act of 2007 

(‘‘Reauthorization Act’’). The Act 

established a temporary Terrorism Risk 

Insurance Program (‘‘TRIP’’ or 

‘‘Program’’) under which the Federal 

Government would share the risk of 

insured losses from certified acts of 

terrorism with commercial property and 

casualty insurers. The Reauthorization 

Act has now extended the Program until 

December 31, 2014. This proposed rule 

is the latest in a series of regulations 

Treasury has issued to implement the 

Act. The proposed rule incorporates and 

implements statutory requirements of 

the Act for the final netting of payments 

under the Program. In particular, the 

proposed rule would establish 

procedures by which, after the Secretary 

has determined that claims for the 

Federal share of insured losses arising 

from a particular Program Year shall be 

considered final, a final netting of 

payments to or from insurers will be 

accomplished. The rule generally builds 

upon previous rules issued by Treasury. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before October 4, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments 

electronically through the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov, or by mail (if hard 

copy, preferably an original and two 

copies) to: Terrorism Risk Insurance 

Program, Public Comment Record, Suite 

2100, Department of the Treasury, 1425 

New York Avenue, NW., Washington, 

DC 20220. Because paper mail in the 

Washington, DC area may be subject to 

delay, it is recommended that comments 

be submitted electronically. All 

comments should be captioned with 

‘‘TRIA Final Netting Proposed Rule 

Comments.’’ Please include your name, 

affiliation, address, e-mail address, and 

telephone number in your comment. 

Comments received, including 

attachments and other supporting 

materials, are part of the public record 

and subject to public disclosure. Do not 

disclose any information in your 

comment or supporting materials that 

you consider confidential or 

inappropriate for public disclosure. 

Comments will be available for public 

inspection on the Federal eRulemaking 

Portal and by appointment at the TRIP 

Office. To make appointments, call 

(202) 622–6770 (not a toll-free number).
