Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 227 / Monday, November 25, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 92789 

acknowledges that ‘‘smoke’’ was 

erroneously included in this definition, 

as there are no corrections to reference 

day conditions required for smoke 

measurements. However, regarding 

nvPM emissions, the FAA notes that 

corrections to reference day conditions 

are required, and that the measurement 

instrumentation corrects to reference 

day corrections. 

For clarity, a commenter suggested 

that the internal references in 

§ 34.73(c)(1) include a greater level of 

detail, specifically: 

• Paragraph (c)(1)(i)(B), when 

referencing ‘‘paragraph (c)(1),’’ should 

reference ‘‘paragraph (c)(1)(i)(A).’’ 

• Paragraph (c)(1)(ii)(B), when 

referencing ‘‘paragraph (c)(1),’’ should 

reference ‘‘paragraph (c)(1)(ii)(A).’’ 

• Paragraph (c)(1)(ii)(C), when 

referencing ‘‘paragraph (c)(1),’’ should 

reference ‘‘paragraph (c)(1)(ii)(B).’’ 

• Paragraph (c)(1)(iii)(B), when 

referencing ‘‘paragraph (c)(1),’’ should 

reference ‘‘paragraph (c)(1)(iii)(A).’’ 

The FAA thanks this commentor for 

its detailed and accurate suggestions. 

The FAA is declining to make these 

suggestions at this time, as such changes 

are not necessary. 

G. Average of One 

A commenter noted that 14 CFR 

37.73(c)(1)(iii)(D) requires an ‘‘average’’ 

of engines tested, but ‘‘[w]hat is missing 

is saying that this average has to be done 

if several engines have been tested.’’ 

The FAA concludes that adding 

additional text to § 34.73(c)(1)(iii)(D) is 

not necessary as taking the average of a 

single engine does not change the 

results of the calculations. 

H. Comments in Support 

Finally, the FAA received positive 

feedback from multiple organizations. 

Conclusion 

After consideration of the comments 

submitted in response to the final rule 

with request for comment, the FAA has 

determined that no further rulemaking 

action is necessary. Therefore, 

amendment 34–7 remains in effect.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Safran) 

Model ARRIUS 2F engines. This AD 

was prompted by a report of an 

uncommanded in-flight shut-down 

(IFSD) of a Safran Model ARRIUS 2F 

engine, followed by an investigation 

that revealed the IFSD was due to a 

missing lubricating and balancing 

groove on one of the bearings of the fuel 

control unit (FCU) fuel pump related to 

a non-conforming manufacturing 

process. This AD requires removal of 

the affected fuel pump from service and 

replacement with a serviceable part, as 

specified in a European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is 

incorporated by reference. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective December 

10, 2024. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of December 10, 2024. 

The FAA must receive comments on 

this AD by January 9, 2025.

CBI is commercial or financial 

information that is both customarily and 

actually treated as private by its owner. 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this AD contain 

commercial or financial information 

that is customarily treated as private, 

that you actually treat as private, and 

that is relevant or responsive to this AD, 

it is important that you clearly designate 

the submitted comments as CBI. Please 

mark each page of your submission 

containing CBI as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA 

will treat such marked submissions as 

confidential under the FOIA, and they 

will not be placed in the public docket 

of this AD. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to David Bergeron, 

Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 

Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, 

NY 11590. Any commentary that the 

FAA receives which is not specifically 

designated as CBI will be placed in the 

public docket for this rulemaking. 

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Emergency AD 

2024–0202–E, dated October 22, 2024 

(EASA AD 2024–0202–E) (also referred 

to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition on all Safran Model ARRIUS 

2F engines. The MCAI states that an 

occurrence was reported of an 

uncommanded IFSD of an ARRIUS 2F 

engine, followed by a hard landing, and 

that the following investigation revealed 

that the IFSD was caused by a missing 

lubricating and balancing groove on one 

of the bearings of the FCU fuel pump 

due to a non-conforming manufacturing 

process. A subsequent quality analysis 

identified a population of FCUs possibly 

affected by the non-conforming 

manufacturing process. This condition, 

if not corrected, could result in a 

significant reduction of the control of a 

single engine helicopter. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2024–2537. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2024– 

0202–E, which specifies procedures for 

replacement of the affected parts with 

serviceable parts. The MCAI also 

specifies prohibiting installation of 

affected parts on an engine. 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 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 accomplishing the 

actions specified in the material already 

described, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this AD. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has since coordinated 

with other manufacturers and CAAs to 

use this process. As a result, EASA AD 

2024–0202–E will be incorporated by 

reference in this final rule. This AD, 

therefore, requires compliance with 

EASA AD 2024–0202–E in its entirety 

through that incorporation, except for 

any differences identified as exceptions 

in the regulatory text of this AD. Using 

common terms that are the same as the 

heading of a particular section in the 

EASA AD does not mean that operators 

need comply only with that section. For 

example, where the AD requirement 

refers to ‘‘all required actions and 

compliance times,’’ compliance with 

this AD requirement is not limited to 

the section titled ‘‘Required Action(s) 

and Compliance Time(s)’’ in EASA AD 

2024–0202–E. Service information 

required by the EASA AD for 

compliance is available at 

regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 

2024–2537. 

Justification for Immediate Adoption 

and Determination of the Effective Date 

Section 553(b)(3)(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 missing lubricating and 

balancing grooves on the bearings of the 

FCU fuel pump, if not corrected, could 

result in an uncommanded IFSD, and a 

significant reduction of the control of a 

single engine helicopter. The FAA has 

determined that because this condition 

can occur without warning, these FCUs 

need to be removed from service within 

15 flight hours or 30 days, whichever 

occurs first after the effective date of 

this AD. These compliance times are 

shorter than the time necessary for the 

public to comment and for publication 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 227 / Monday, November 25, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 92791 

of the final 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 5 engines installed on helicopters 

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 

Replace the FCU ............................................ 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ................. $20,650 $20,735 $103,675 

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.

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

2024–24–02 Safran Helicopter Engines, 

S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held 

by Turbomeca S.A.): Amendment 39– 

22892; Docket No. FAA–2024–2537; 

Project Identifier MCAI–2024–00631–E. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective December 10, 2024. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Safran Helicopter 

Engines, S.A. (type certificate previously 

held by Turbomeca S.A.) Model ARRIUS 2F 

engines, as identified in European Union 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Emergency 

AD 2024–0202–E, dated October 22, 2024 

(EASA AD 2024–0202–E). 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) 

Code 7314, Engine Fuel Pump. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report of an 

uncommanded in-flight shut-down (IFSD) of 

a Safran Model ARRIUS 2F engine, followed 

by an investigation that revealed the IFSD 

was due to a missing lubricating and 

balancing groove on one of the bearings of 

the fuel control unit (FCU) fuel pump related 

to a non-conforming manufacturing process. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and 

correct missing lubricating and balancing 

grooves on the bearings of the FCU fuel 

pump. The unsafe condition, if not 

addressed, could result in an uncommanded 

IFSD and a significant reduction of the 

control of a single engine helicopter. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Required Actions 

Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and

the compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with EASA AD 2024–0202–E. 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2024–0202–E 

(1) Where EASA AD 2024–0202–E requires 

compliance from its effective date, this AD 

requires using the effective date of this AD. 

(2) This AD does not adopt the ‘‘Remarks’’ 

section of EASA AD 2024–0202–E. 

(3) Although the service information 

referenced in EASA AD 2024–0202–E 

specifies to return the FCU to a Repair Center 

approved by Safran Helicopter Engines, this 

AD requires removing those parts from 

service. 

(i) No Reporting Requirement 

Although the service information 

referenced in EASA AD 2024–0202–E 

specifies to submit certain information to the 

manufacturer, this AD does not include that 

requirement. 

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, International Validation 

Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In 

accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of the airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it updates the 

information in the Austin-Bergstrom 

International Airport, TX, Class C 

airspace description to match the FAA 

NASR database. 

History 

During a recent review of the AustinBergstrom International Airport, TX, 

Class C airspace description, the FAA 

identified that the Austin-Bergstrom 

International Airport ARP geographic 

coordinates were incorrect. This action 

updates the airport ARP geographic 

coordinates to match the FAA NASR 

database information and makes minor 

editorial changes to the airspace 

description header format. There are no 

changes to the boundaries, altitudes, or 

operating requirements of the Class C 

airspace area resulting from this action. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Class C airspace areas are published 

in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order JO 

7400.11, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, which is incorporated 

by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an 

annual basis. This document amends 

the current version of that order, FAA 

Order JO 7400.11J, dated July 31, 2024, 

and effective September 15, 2024. FAA 

Order JO 7400.11J is publicly available 

as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. These amendments will be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11J lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

updating the Austin-Bergstrom 

International Airport, TX, Class C 

airspace description. The airport ARP 

geographic coordinates are updated 

from ‘‘lat. 30°11′41′′ N, long. 97°40′12′′ 

W’’ to ‘‘lat. 30°11′40′′ N, long. 97°40′12′′ 

W’’ to match the FAA NASR database 

information. Additionally, the airport 

name is removed from the first line in 

the text header of the description and 

replaced by the city location of the 

airport to follow the current formatting 

standard. 

This action consists of administrative 

changes only and does not affect the 

boundaries, altitudes, or operating 

requirements of the Class C airspace. 

Therefore, notice and public procedure 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It, therefore: (1) is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial
