73150 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 226 / Tuesday, November 24, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

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 adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

Turbomeca S.A.: Docket No. FAA–2015– 

3753; Directorate Identifier 2015–NE– 

26–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by January 25, 

2016. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 

2B, 2B1, 2C, 2C1, 2C2, 2D, 2E, 2S1, and 2S2 

turboshaft engines with an engine accessory 

gearbox (AGB), part number 0292120650, 

with a machined front casing. 

(d) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a report of an 

uncommanded in-flight shutdown of an 

Arriel 2 engine caused by rupture of the 41- 

tooth gear, which forms part of the bevel gear 

in the engine AGB. We are issuing this AD 

to prevent failure of the engine AGB, which 

could lead to in-flight shutdown, damage to 

the engine, and damage to the aircraft. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(1) Initial Spectrometric Oil Analysis (SOA) 

(i) Perform an initial SOA within the 

compliance times given in paragraph 

(e)(1)(i)(A) or (e)(1)(i)(B) of this AD: 

(A) If the engine AGB has less than 800 

engine hours (EHs) since new or since last 

overhaul, do an initial SOA before exceeding 

850 EHs since new or since last overhaul. 

(B) If the engine AGB has 800 EHs or more 

since new or since last overhaul, or if the EHs 

are unknown, do an initial SOA within 50 

EHs after the effective date of this AD. 

(C) Use paragraphs 2.4.2.1 and 2.4.2.2 of 

Turbomeca S.A. Mandatory Service Bulletin 

(MSB) No. 292 72 2861, Version A, dated 

April 24, 2015, to perform the SOA required 

by paragraph (e) of this AD. 

(ii) Reserved. 

(2) Repetitive SOA 

(i) If the aluminum concentration 

determined from the most recent SOA is less 

than 0.8 parts per million (PPM), repeat the 

SOA required by paragraph (e) of this AD 

within 100 EHs time since last analysis 

(TSLA). 

(ii) If the aluminum concentration 

determined from the most recent SOA is 

between 0.8 PPM and 1.4 PPM, inclusive, 

repeat the SOA required by paragraph (e) of 

this AD within 50 EHs TSLA. Do not perform 

draining before doing the next SOA. 

(iii) If the aluminum concentration 

determined from the most recent SOA is 

greater than 1.4 PPM, remove the engine AGB 

from service within 50 EHs TSLA. 

(f) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

The Manager, Engine Certification Office, 

FAA, may approve AMOCs for this AD. Use 

the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to 

make your request. You may email your 

request to: ANE-AD-AMOC@faa.gov.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document would amend FAA 

Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 

2015, and effective September 15, 2015. 

FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available 

as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 6.5-mile 

radius of the South Naknek NR 2 

Airport, South Naknek, AK. 

Development of new RNAV (GPS) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures have made this action 

necessary for continued safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
