action for purposes of E.O. 12866, and 

the OIRA Administrator has not 

designated this proposed determination 

as a significant energy action under E.O. 

12866 or any successor order. Therefore, 

this proposed determination is not a 

significant energy action. Accordingly, 

DOE has not prepared a Statement of 

Energy Effects for this proposed 

determination. 

L. Review Under the Information 

Quality Bulletin for Peer Review 

On December 16, 2004, OMB, in 

consultation with the Office of Science 

and Technology Policy (OSTP), issued 

its Final Information Quality Bulletin 

for Peer Review (the Bulletin). 70 FR 

2664 (January 14, 2005). The Bulletin 

establishes that certain scientific 

information shall be peer reviewed by 

qualified specialists before it is 

disseminated by the Federal 

government, including influential 

scientific information related to agency 

regulatory actions. The purpose of the 

Bulletin is to enhance the quality and 

credibility of the Government’s 

scientific information. DOE has 

determined that the analyses conducted 

for this rulemaking do not constitute 

‘‘influential scientific information,’’ 

which the Bulletin defines as ‘‘scientific 

information the agency reasonably can 

determine will have or does have a clear 

and substantial impact on important 

public policies or private sector 

decisions.’’ 70 FR 2667 (January 14, 

2005). The analyses were subject to predissemination review prior to issuance 

of this rulemaking. 

DOE will determine the appropriate 

level of review that would be applicable 

to any future rulemaking to establish 

energy conservation standards for fans, 

blowers and fume hoods. 

VI. Public Participation 

A. Submission of Comments 

DOE will accept comments, data, and 

information regarding this notice of 

proposed determination no later than 

the date provided at the beginning of

B. Issues on Which DOE Seeks 

Comments 

DOE welcomes comments on all 

aspects of this proposed determination. 

DOE is particularly interested in 

receiving comments from interested 

parties on the following issues related to 

the proposed determination for fans, 

blowers, and fume hoods: 

• Definition of fans; 

• Definition of blowers; 

• Definitions of fume hoods; 

• Whether classifying fans, blowers, 

and fume hoods as covered equipment 

is necessary to carry out the purposes of 

Part A–1 of EPCA; and 

• Availability or lack of availability of 

technologies for improving the energy 

efficiency of fans, blowers, and fume 

hoods. 

DOE invites all interested parties to 

submit, in writing and by July 28, 2011, 

comments and information on matters 

addressed in this notice and on other 

matters relevant to a determination for 

fans, blowers, and fume hoods. DOE is 

also interested in receiving views 

concerning other issues relevant to 

establishing test procedures and energy 

conservation standards for fans, 

blowers, and fume hoods. 

After the expiration of the period for 

submitting written statements, DOE will 

consider all comments and additional 

information that is obtained from 

interested parties or through further 

analyses, and it will prepare a final 

determination. If DOE determines that 

fans, blowers, and fume hoods qualify 

as covered equipment, DOE will 

consider a test procedure and energy 

conservation standards for fans, 

blowers, and fume hoods. Members of 

the public will be given an opportunity 

to submit written and oral comments on 

any proposed test procedure and 

standards.

Airworthiness Directives; Teledyne 

Continental Motors (TCM) and RollsRoyce Motors Ltd. (R–RM) Series 

Reciprocating Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) 

that applies to certain TCM and R–RM 

series reciprocating engines. The 

existing AD currently requires 

replacement of certain magnetos if they 

fall within the specified serial number 

(S/N) range, inspection of the removed 

magneto to verify that the stop pin is 

still in place, and, if the stop pin is not 

in place, inspection of the engine gear 

train, crankcase, and accessory case. 

Since we issued that AD, we became 

aware of an error in the previous AD 

applicability in the range of magneto 

S/Ns affected, and of the need to 

include certain engines made by R–RM, 

under license of TCM. This proposed 

AD would correct the range of S/Ns 

affected, require the same replacement 

and inspections, and would add R–RM 

C–125, C–145, O–300, IO–360, TSIO– 

360, and LTSIO–520–AE series 

reciprocating engines to the 

applicability. We are proposing this AD 

to correct the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by August 12, 2011.

Discussion 

On June 17, 2002, we issued AD 

2002–13–04, Amendment 39–12792 (FR 

67 43230, June 27, 2002), for TCM C– 

125, C–145, O–300, IO–360, TSIO–360, 

and LTSIO–520–AE series reciprocating 

engines. That AD requires, within 10 

flight hours after the effective date of 

that AD, replacement of certain 

magnetos if they fall within the 

specified S/N range, inspection of the 

removed magneto to verify that the stop 

pin is still in place, and, if the stop pin 

is not in place, inspection of the engine 

gear train, crankcase, and accessory 

case. That AD resulted from reports of 

engine failures on certain TCM 

reciprocating engines. We issued that 

AD to prevent engine failure and loss of 

control of the airplane due to migration 

of the magneto impulse coupling stop 

pin out of the magneto frame and into 

the gear train of the engine. 

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued 

Since we issued AD 2002–13–04, we 

became aware of an error in the 

applicability paragraph of that AD, in 

the range of S/Ns affected. That AD 

applicability listed magneto S/Ns of 

99110001 through 9912999 inclusive. 

This proposed AD supersedure would 

correct the applicability to state 

magneto S/Ns of 99110001 through 

99129999 inclusive, and add R–RM C– 

125, C–145, O–300, IO–360, TSIO–360, 

and LTSIO–520–AE series reciprocating 

engines built under license of TCM, to 

the applicability. 

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 would retain all 

requirements of AD 2002–13–04. This 

proposed AD would also correct the 

range of S/Ns affected, and would add 

R–RM C–125, C–145, O–300, IO–360, 

TSIO–360, and LTSIO–520–AE series 

reciprocating engines to the 

applicability. Since AD 2002–13–04 was 

issued, the AD format has been revised, 

and certain paragraphs have been 

rearranged. As a result, the 

corresponding paragraph identifiers 

have changed in this proposed AD, as 

listed in the following table: 

REVISED PARAGRAPH IDENTIFIERS

Requirement in 

AD 2002–13–04 

Corresponding 

requirement in 

this proposed AD 

paragraph (a) paragraph (f) 

paragraph (b) paragraph (g) 

paragraph (c) paragraph (h) 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 100 R–RM C–125, C–145, 

O–300, IO–360, TSIO–360, and LTSIO– 

520–AE series reciprocating engines 

installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 2 work-hours per engine to 

perform the inspections, and that the 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

total cost of the proposed AD to U.S. 

operators to be $17,000. Our cost 

estimate is exclusive of possible 

warranty coverage. 

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 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.

37684 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 124 / Tuesday, June 28, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

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, 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by 

removing airworthiness directive (AD) 

2002–13–04, Amendment 39–12792 (67 

FR 43230, June 27, 2002), and adding 

the following new AD: 

Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) and 

Rolls-Royce Motors Ltd. (R–RM) Series 

Reciprocating Engines: Docket No. FAA– 

2011–0085; Directorate Identifier 2000–NE– 

19–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

AD action by August 12, 2011. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD supersedes AD 2002–13–04, 

Amendment 39–12792. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to TCM and R–RM C–125,

Comply with this AD within 10 flight 

hours after the effective date of this AD, 

unless already done. 

(f) Replacement of Magneto 

Replace any magneto that has a S/N of 

99110001 through 99129999, inclusive, with 

a magneto that does not have a serial number 

in that range. If magneto is not in this S/N 

range, no further action is required by this 

AD. 

(g) Inspections 

Inspect each removed magneto to verify 

that the impulse coupling stop pin is present. 

If the pin is missing, do the following: 

(1) For C–125, C–145, O–300, IO–360, and 

TSIO–360 series engines, do the following:

crankcase and oil sump. 

(iii) Visually inspect the entire engine gear 

train for damaged or broken gears and gear 

teeth. 

(iv) Inspect visible portions of the engine 

crankcase and accessory case for damage due 

to the stop pin becoming lodged between the 

engine gear train and the crankcase or 

accessory case. 

(v) If the accessory case is damaged, repair 

or replace the accessory case. 

(vi) If the engine crankcase is damaged, 

disassemble the engine, and repair or replace 

the crankcase. 

(vii) Inspect the oil pump drive gear teeth 

and inner cam gear teeth for damage. Replace 

any engine drive train component that has 

been damaged. 

(viii) Replace any damaged gear, and 

magnaflux the mating gears using the 

applicable engine overhaul manual. 

(2) For LTSIO–520–AE series engines, do 

the following: 

(i) Remove the starter adapter, fuel pump, 

vacuum pumps, accessory drive pads, and 

both magnetos.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

AD would require deactivation and 

removal of the vapor cycle system (VCS) 

installed per STC SA03674AT held by 

Premier Aircraft Services (originally 

held by DER Services) following DER 

Services Master Document List MDL– 

2006–020–1, Revision C, dated February 

3, 2009; Revision D, dated April 22, 

2009; Revision E, dated May 12, 2010; 

or Revision F, dated July 6, 2010. This 

proposed AD would also require 

revision to the airplane weight and 

balance. This proposed AD was 

prompted by reports of damage around 

the VCS compressor mounting areas 

found during maintenance inspections. 

We are proposing this AD to remove the 

VCS mount, which could result in the 

air conditioner compressor
