5 CFR Part 532 

RIN 3206–AN06 

Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition 

of the Fort Wayne-Marion, IN, and 

Detroit, MI, Appropriated Fund Federal 

Wage System Wage Areas 

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) is issuing a final 

rule to redefine the geographic 

boundaries of the Fort Wayne-Marion, 

IN, and Detroit, MI, appropriated fund 

Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas. 

The final rule redefines Fulton County, 

OH, from the Fort Wayne-Marion wage 

area to the Detroit wage area. This 

change is based on a consensus 

recommendation of the Federal 

Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee 

(FPRAC) to best match Fulton County to 

a nearby FWS survey area. In addition, 

this final rule adds La Crosse County, 

WI, to the survey area of the 

Southwestern Wisconsin wage area, 

which OPM inadvertently omitted in a 

final rule published in 2013. 

DATES: Effective date: This regulation is 

effective February 2, 2015. Applicability 

date: This change applies on the first 

day of the first applicable pay period 

beginning on or after March 4, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Madeline Gonzalez, by telephone at 

(202) 606–2838 or by email at pay-leavepolicy@opm.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

18, 2014, OPM issued a proposed rule 

(79 FR 41927) to redefine Fulton 

County, OH, from the Fort WayneMarion, IN, wage area to the Detroit, MI, 

wage area. The Federal Prevailing Rate 

Advisory Committee, the national labormanagement committee responsible for 

advising OPM on matters concerning 

the pay of FWS employees, reviewed 

and recommended this change by 

consensus. The proposed rule had a 30- 

day comment period, during which 

OPM received no comments. 

This final rule adds La Crosse County, 

WI, to the survey area of the 

Southwestern Wisconsin wage area, 

which OPM inadvertently omitted in a 

final rule published in 2013 (78 FR 

29611). This correction does not affect 

the pay of any FWS employees. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

I certify that these regulations will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

because they will affect only Federal 

agencies and employees.

14 CFR Part 39

Identifier 2011–NE–22–AD; Amendment 39–

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce 

Corporation Turboprop and Turboshaft 

Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2012–14– 

06 for certain Rolls-Royce Corporation 

(RRC) 250–C20, –C20B, and –C20R/2 

turboshaft engines. AD 2012–14–06 

required a one-time visual inspection 

and fluorescent-penetrant inspection 

(FPI) on certain 3rd-stage and 4th-stage 

turbine wheels for cracks in the turbine 

blades. This new AD replaces the onetime visual inspection and FPI with 

repetitive visual inspections and FPIs. 

This AD also adds certain engine 

models to the applicability. This AD 

was prompted by the determination that 

the one-time inspections required by AD 

2012–14–06 should be changed to 

repetitive inspections. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent failure of 3rd-stage 

and 4th-stage turbine wheel blades, 

which could cause engine failure and 

damage to the aircraft. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 9, 

2015. 

ADDRESSES: For service information 

identified in this AD, contact RollsRoyce Corporation, 450 South Meridian 

Street, Indianapolis, IN 46225–1103;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2012–14–06, 

Amendment 39–17120 (77 FR 40479, 

July 10, 2012), (‘‘AD 2012–14–06’’). AD 

2012–14–06 applied to certain RRC 

250–C20, –C20B, and –C20R/2 

turboshaft engines. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 2, 2014 (79 FR 59463). The 

NPRM was prompted by determination 

that the one-time inspections required 

by AD 2012–14–06 should be changed 

to repetitive inspections. The NPRM 

proposed to replace the one-time visual 

inspection and FPI with repetitive 

visual inspections and FPIs, and also to 

require a visual inspection and FPI after 

any engine hot start. The NPRM also 

proposed to add certain engine models 

to the applicability. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent failure of 3rd-stage and 

4th-stage turbine wheel blades, which 

could cause engine failure and damage 

to the aircraft. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (79 FR 59463, 

October 2, 2014) and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Remove a Certain Proposed 

Inspection Requirement 

RRC requested that we remove the 

requirement to inspect the 3rd-stage and 

4th-stage turbine wheels after a hot start 

because they are already prohibited 

from further use after a hot start by the 

maintenance instructions. 

We agree. Maintenance instructions 

clearly direct replacement of 3rd-stage 

and 4th-stage turbine wheels following 

a hot start. We removed from this AD 

the requirement to perform a visual 

inspection and an FPI on the affected 

turbine wheels after any hot start. 

Request To Limit Applicability 

RRC requested that we restrict 

applicability of the AD to only those 

affected engines that are installed on 

MD helicopters because the majority of 

failures have occurred on MD 

helicopters. 

We disagree. Failures have occurred 

in installations on other than MD 

helicopters. Also, the FAA cannot 

ensure that parts once used on MD 

helicopters have not been subsequently 

installed on other engines or helicopter 

models. We did not change this AD. 

Request To Delete a Certain Reference 

RRC requested that we remove, from 

the Actions Since AD 2012–14–06 Was 

Published paragraph, reference to 3rdstage turbine wheel failures by replacing 

the words ‘‘3rd-stage and’’ with the 

words ‘‘two additional’’ because 

additional failures only occurred in 4thstage turbine wheels.
