SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On November 8, 2013 (78 FR 67225; 

NRC–2009–0096), the NRC published 

for public comment a proposed rule to 

amend its regulations for MC&A of 

SNM. Also on November 8, 2013 (78 FR 

67224; NRC–2013–0195), the NRC 

published for public comment the 

proposed guidance documents that 

discuss acceptable methods that 

licensees may use to prepare and 

implement their MC&A plans and how 

the NRC will review and inspect these 

plans. The public comment period for 

the proposed rule and the proposed 

guidance closes on February 18, 2014. 

The goal of this rulemaking is to 

revise and consolidate the MC&A 

requirements in order to update, clarify, 

and strengthen them. The proposed 

amendments add new requirements that 

would apply to NRC licensees who are 

authorized to possess SNM in a quantity 

greater than 350 grams. 

II. Public Meeting 

To facilitate the understanding of the 

public and other stakeholders of these 

issues and the submission of comments, 

the NRC staff plans to hold a public 

meeting on December 10, 2013, from 

1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (EST), in 

Rockville, Maryland. The meeting 

notice can be accessed through the 

NRC’s public Web site at http://

meetings.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg. The final 

agenda and the meeting materials will 

be posted no fewer than 10 days prior 

to the meeting at this Web site. 

In addition, members of the public 

may also participate in the meeting via 

teleconference or Webinar. Information 

for the teleconference and Webinar is 

available in the meeting notice, which 

can be accessed through the NRC’s 

public Web site at http://

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2013 / Proposed Rules 71533 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2007–03– 

02 for all Rolls-Royce Deutschland 

(RRD) Tay 620–15, Tay 650–15, and Tay 

651–54 turbofan engines. AD 2007–03– 

02 requires an ultrasonic inspection (UI) 

of low-pressure (LP) compressor fan 

blades for cracks on certain serial 

number (S/N) Tay 650–15 engines. AD 

2007–03–02 also requires, for all Tay 

611–8, 620–15, Tay 650–15, and Tay 

651–54 engines, initial and repetitive 

UIs of LP compressor fan blades. AD 

2007–03–02 also requires, for Tay 650– 

15 and Tay 651–54 engines, UIs of LP 

compressor fan blades whenever the 

blade set is removed from one engine 

and installed on a different engine. 

Since we issued AD 2007–03–02, we 

received a report of an additional engine 

failure due to multiple fan blade 

separation. This proposed AD would 

require additional inspections for the 

affected engines and removal of the Tay 

611–8 engine from the applicability of 

this AD. We are proposing this AD to 

prevent failure of the LP compressor fan 

blade, engine failure, and damage to the 

airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by January 28, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Discussion 

On January 22, 2007, we issued AD 

2007–03–02, Amendment 39–14913 (72 

FR 3936, January 29, 2007) (‘‘AD 2007– 

03–02’’) for certain RRD Tay 611–8 and 

Tay 620–15 turbofan engines with LP 

compressor module, part number (P/N) 

M01100AA or P/N M01100AB, 

installed, and Tay 650–15 and Tay 651– 

54 turbofan engines with LP compressor 

module, P/N M01300AA or P/N 

M01300AB, installed. AD 2007–03–02 

requires UI of LP compressor fan blades 

for cracks on certain S/N Tay 650–15 

engines. AD 2007–03–02 also requires, 

for all Tay 611–8, 620–15, 620–15/20, 

Tay 650–15, Tay 650–15/20, and Tay 

651–54 engines, initial and repetitive 

UIs of LP compressor fan blades. AD 

2007–03–02 also requires, for Tay 650– 

15 and Tay 651–54 engines, UIs of LP 

compressor fan blades whenever the 

blade set is removed from one engine 

and installed on a different engine. AD 

2007–03–02 resulted from a report that 

a set of LP compressor fan blades failed 

before reaching the LP compressor fan 

blade full published life limit. We 

issued AD 2007–03–02 to prevent LP 

compressor fan blades from failing due 

to blade root cracks, leading to 

uncontained engine failure and damage 

to the airplane. 

Actions Since AD 2007–03–02 Was 

Issued 

Since we issued AD 2007–03–02, we 

received reports of additional engine 

failures. Also since we issued AD 2007– 

03–02, the European Aviation Safety 

Agency issued AD 2013–151R2, dated 

September 2, 2013, which requires UI, 

and replacement if found cracked, of 

affected LP compressor fan blades. Also 

since we issued AD 2007–03–02, RRD 

issued ANMSB TAY–72–A1442, 

Revision 5, dated May 31, 2013 which 

removed the Tay 611–8 engine from the 

list of applicable engines. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD requires a UI of LP 

compressor fan blades for cracks for all 

620–15, Tay 650–15, and Tay 651–54 

engines. This proposed AD would also 

require accomplishing the actions 

specified in the service information 

described previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect about 52 engines installed 

on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 4 

hours per engine to remove and inspect 

an LP compressor blade set. The average 

labor rate is $85 per hour. Prorated parts 

life will cost about $11,750 per engine. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of this proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $628,680. 

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 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
71534 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

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 have 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 that the 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 

(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.
