Procedures for Monitoring Bank 

Secrecy Act Compliance and Fair 

Credit Reporting: Technical 

Amendments; Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation (FDIC). 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FDIC is correcting a final 

rule that appeared in the Federal 

Register of March 18, 2011, regarding 

Procedures for Monitoring Bank Secrecy 

Act Compliance and Fair Credit 

Reporting: Technical Amendments. This 

correction clarifies that the FDIC did not 

intend to remove a paragraph from its 

regulations. 

DATES: Effective May 23, 2012. This 

correction is applicable beginning 

March 18, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl 

Gold, Counsel, Legal Division, (202) 

898–8702, 550 17th Street NW., 

Washington, DC 20429. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

18, 2011, the FDIC published a final 

rule, Procedures for Monitoring Bank 

Secrecy Act Compliance and Fair Credit 

Reporting: Technical Amendments (76 

FR 10672). This final rule included 

revisions to 12 CFR 326.8(a) and (b). No 

revisions were being made to § 326.8(c) 

so it was not included in the March 18, 

2011, final rule, but owing to an error 

in punctuation in that rule, 12 CFR 

326.8(c) was removed from the Code of 

Federal Regulations. 

For the reasons set out in the 

preamble, the FDIC hereby amends 12 

CFR part 326 with the following 

correcting amendment: 

PART 326—MINIMUM SECURITY

Airworthiness Directives; International 

Aero Engines AG Turbofan Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

all International Aero Engines AG (IAE) 

V2500–A1, V2525–D5 and V2528–D5 

turbofan engines, and certain serial 

numbers (S/Ns) of IAE V2522–A5, 

V2524–A5, V2527–A5, V2527E–A5, 

V2527M–A5, V2530–A5, and V2533–A5 

turbofan engines. That AD currently 

requires initial and repetitive ultrasonic 

inspections (USIs) of certain highpressure compressor (HPC) stage 3 to 8 

drums, and replacement of drum 

attachment nuts. This new AD expands 

the affected population for initial and 

repetitive inspections of the HPC stage 

3 to 8 drum, introduces an eddy current 

inspection (ECI) procedure, and requires 

additional cleaning and repetitive USI 

of some HPC stage 3 to 8 drums. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent uncontained 

failure of the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum, 

which could result in damage to the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 27, 

2012. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

(IBR) of certain publications listed in 

the AD as of June 27, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2010–20–07, 

Amendment 39–16441 (75 FR 59067, 

September 27, 2010). That AD applies to 

the specified products. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 30, 2011 (76 FR 82202). That 

NPRM proposed to continue to require 

initial and repetitive USIs of certain 

HPC stage 3 to 8 drums, and 

replacement of drum attachment nuts. 

That NPRM also proposed to expand the 

affected population for initial and 

repetitive inspections of the HPC stage 

3 to 8 drum, introduce an ECI 

procedure, and require additional 

cleaning and repetitive USI of some 

HPC stage 3 to 8 drums. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the proposal and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Include Entire V2500 Fleet 

of Engines, and Modify the Optional 

Terminating Action 

Airbus and IAE requested that we 

change the applicability to include the 

entire V2500 fleet of engines, and to 

modify the optional terminating action 

to include partially silver plated nuts, 

part number (P/N) AS64367. The 

commenters stated that one new HPC 

stage 3 to 8 drum was discovered 

installed with partially silver plated 

nuts, P/N AS64367, that had some 

corrosion pitting. 

We partially agree. We agree with 

making a change to the optional 

terminating action, because the 

corrosion pitting found was on the 

optional terminating action 

configuration. We changed the AD, 

deleting the optional terminating action 

from the AD. We do not agree with 

including the entire V2500 fleet of 

engines, because we do not yet have 

enough information to determine what 

actions are needed if the nuts are only 

partially silver plated. We did not 

change the AD to affect the entire V2500 

engine population. 

Request To Correct Paragraph 

Reference Errors 

Seven commenters requested that in 

paragraph (i), Optional Terminating 

Action, we correct the paragraph 

references of (h)(1) and (h)(2) to (i)(1) 

and (i)(2). 

We agree. However, we have deleted 

the Optional Terminating Action 

paragraph from the AD, as described 

previously, and redesignated the 

subsequent paragraphs accordingly. We 

did not change the AD based on this 

comment. 

Request To Add a Section to Previous 

Credit 

Air New Zealand requested that we 

add a section to paragraph (k), Previous 

Credit, for prior installation of a zerotime HPC stage 3 to 8 drum that has 

never operated with fully silver plated 

nuts. 

We do not agree. We already state in 

Compliance paragraph (e) that actions 

are required unless the actions have 

already been done. We did not change 

the AD. 

Request To Reference the AD Being 

Superseded 

Onur Air requested that we reference 

the AD being superseded, as it is not 

mentioned in the proposed AD. 

We do not agree. We already reference 

the superseded AD in the Discussion 

and in paragraph (b). We did not change 

the AD. 

Exclude Certain HPC Stage 3 to 8 

Drums 

Onur Air stated that drums which 

were cleaned, fluorescent penetrant 

inspected (FPI), and installed with nonfully silver plated nuts into the engine 

in a previous shop visit are not 

addressed, and should be excluded in 

the mandatory terminating action of the 

proposed AD. 

We do not agree. These drums are 

subject to the repetitive inspections 

specified in the AD. We did not change 

the AD. 

Request To Rewrite Paragraphs (f) 

and (h) 

Christchurch Engine Centre and 

United Airlines requested that we 

rewrite paragraph (f) and (h) because 

they believe those paragraphs imply that 

the grace period of FPI or ECI apply to 

the repetitive USI frequency. 

We do not agree. The grace period 

affects the USI start, based on the type 

of previous inspection and not the USI 

re-inspection interval. As specified in 

paragraph (h) of the proposed AD, USI 

inspections are to be done every 750 

cycles-since-last USI. If an FPI is done, 

then the USI is required within 2,500 

cycles from the FPI, and then done 

every 750 cycles-since-last USI. The 

process for the ECI is the same. We did 

not change the AD. 

Request To Use the Engine Manual 

(EM) Instead of the Service Bulletin 

(SB) for Cleaning 

Christchurch Engine Centre and IAE 

requested that cleaning be done using 

the EM instead of the SB. 

We partially agree. The EM or the SB 

may be used as the cleaning procedure. 

We changed the AD to include the EM 

and SB as guidance for the cleaning 

procedure. 

Request To Correct a Service Bulletin 

No. 

Christchurch Engine Centre requested 

that we correct an error in the SB No. 

in paragraph (k)(4) of the proposed AD 

from ‘‘V2500–ENG–72–615’’ to ‘‘V2500– 

ENG–72–0615’’. 

We agree. We changed the AD to use 

the correct SB No. V2500–ENG–72– 

0615. 

Request To Incorporate by Reference 

(IBR) SBs 

Christchurch Engine Centre requested 

that we IBR the SBs into the AD, and 

stated that the proposed AD is missing 

the Material Incorporated by Reference 

section. 

We agree. In the NPRM, we identified 

SBs needed for compliance. But in 

NPRMs, we do not set them in a 

separate IBR paragraph. In our final 

rules we do, as required by the Office of 

the Federal Register. In this final rule, 

we IBR’d SBs necessary for compliance 

in the AD. 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 23, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 30373 

Request To Reconsider the Cost of 

Compliance 

Japan Airlines requested that we 

reconsider the Cost of Compliance. 

Based on their experience, they believe 

it requires at least 11 hours to perform 

the required work. 

We do not agree. The hours are based 

on average times provided by the type 

certificate holder. Actual times may 

vary depending on engine configuration 

and number of engines inspected. We 

did not change the Cost of Compliance. 

Request To Mandate Only Relevant 

Sections of the USI Procedures 

Japan Airlines and United Airlines 

requested that the AD mandate only the 

relevant sections of the USI procedures 

in IAE Non-Modification SB (NMSB) 

No. V2500–ENG–72–0608, Revision 3, 

dated September 20, 2011, and NMSB 

No. V2500–ENG–72–0615, Revision 3, 

dated September 20, 2011. 

We agree. We changed the AD to 

clarify the initial inspection 

requirements of the AD. 

Request for Previous Credit 

Japan Airlines and United Airlines 

requested that we give previous credit 

for operators using earlier revisions of 

the USI SBs listed in the proposed AD, 

as some operators have already 

inspected using the earlier revisions. 

We agree. We changed AD to give 

credit for commpliance to the earlier 

SBs listed in the AD. 

Request To Allow Special Flight 

Permits 

United Airlines and TAM Airlines 

requested that we allow Special Flight 

Permits so that the airplane can be 

flown to a location where the work 

required by the AD can be performed. 

We do not agree. The AD already 

allows flights to a repair facility. We did 

not change the AD. 

Request To Include All HPC Stage 3 to 

8 Drum P/N Possibilities 

United Airlines requested that we 

include all HPC stage 3 to 8 drum P/N 

possibilities in the SB. The commenter 

believes that drum P/N 6B1404, which 

is manufactured from the same titanium 

material as drum P/N 6A8316, should 

be included. 

We do not agree. The AD currently 

applies to all engines with HPC stage 3 

to 8 drums that operated with fully 

silver plated nuts. Drum P/N 6B1404 

was introduced into production with 

engine S/N higher than V13191 and 

‘‘Select One’’ engines S/N higher than 

V15575, and are outside of the 

applicability of this AD. We did not 

change the AD. 

Request To Clarify Piece-Part Exposure 

Definition 

United Airlines and MTU 

Maintenance Hanover GmbH requested 

that we clarify the definition of piecepart exposure. 

We agree. We changed the definition 

to: ‘‘For the purpose of this AD, piecepart exposure is removal of the HPC 

stage 3 to 8 drum from the engine, 

removal of all blades from the drum, 

and separation of the HPC stage 3 to 8 

drum from the stage 9 to 12 drum.’’ 

Request To Remove Redundant SB 

Listing 

IAE requested that we remove the 

redundant listing of NMSB No. V2500– 

ENG–72–0615, Revision 3, dated 

September 20, 2011, under Relevant 

Service Information in the preamble of 

the proposed AD. 

We agree. However, we do not repeat 

the Relevant Service Information in the 

final rule. We did not change the AD. 

Request To Clarify Compliance 

Timeframe and Establish a Calendar 

End-Date 

IAE requested that we clarify why a 

compliance timeframe is required to 

remove all fully silver plated nuts and 

also establish a calendar end-date of 

2021. 

We do not agree. The unsafe 

condition results from a corrosive 

operating environment. The amount of 

corrosion varies with time and location, 

and we have no data to support a 

calendar end-date of 2021. We did not 

change the AD. 

Request To Delay USI Start Time and 

Repeat Inspection Time 

TAM Airlines requested that we delay 

the USI start time to 13,500 cyclessince-new, and increase the repeat 

inspection time to 1,500 cycles-sincethe-last USI. 

We do not agree. The initial and 

repetitive inspection intervals were 

established based on field experience, 

and extensive analysis and testing. We 

have no data that supports an increase 

in the compliance times. We did not 

change the AD. 

Request for Special Increase Limit 

PT GMF Aeroasia requested that we 

allow them a special increase limit for 

one of their engines that is above 13,700 

cycles to allow time to receive the 

special tooling required for the 

inspections. 

We do not agree. The analysis and 

testing does not support continued safe 

flight above 13,700 cycles. We did not 

change the AD. 

Request for Changes To Make It Easier 

for Operators to Comply With the AD 

United Airlines requested that we add 

specific accept/reject criteria of missing 

liner material in the USI inspection 

area. The commenter also requested that 

we remove the requirement for 

borescoping the HPC stage 7 to 8 drum 

ceramic liner for staining or axial 

cracking, or, that we specify accept/ 

reject criteria for staining and cracking 

of the ceramic liner. They also requested 

that we delay blending limit 

measurements of the HPC case port and 

add details for material removal to allow 

access for the probe manipulators. 

These changes would make it easier for 

operators to comply with the AD and 

avoid unnecessary delays. 

We partially agree. We agree with 

specifying accept/reject criteria for 

missing liner material in the USI 

inspection area. The borescope 

requirement of the HPC stage 7 to 8 

drum ceramic liner for staining or axial 

cracking improves the probability of 

detection, however we agree to remove 

it due to lack of clear accept/reject 

criteria. We do not agree with including 

in the AD when to perform blending 

limits measurements and adding details 

for material removal to allow access for 

the probe manipulators because they are 

part of preparation. We added to the AD 

that any liner loss which results in 

lifting of the USI probe from the liner 

will need to be repaired to perform an 

acceptable inspection. Liner loss found 

under the intended path of the USI 

probe must be smaller than the head of 

the probe. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We also determined that these changes 

will not increase the economic burden 

on any operator or increase the scope of 

the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

about 906 IAE V2500–A1, V2522–A5, 

V2524–A5, V2525–D5, V2527–A5, 

V2527E–A5, V2527M–A5, V2528–D5, 

V2530–A5, and V2533–A5 turbofan 

engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. We estimate that it will take 

about 3 work-hours per engine to 

perform the USI, and about 2 workhours per engine to perform the FPI of 

the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum. The average 

labor rate is $85 per work-hour. We also 

estimate that removal of silver residue 

from the engine will cost about $2,600 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with RULES
30374 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 23, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

per engine, and required parts about 

$795 per engine. We also estimate the 

cost of replacing a drum if found 

cracked will be $189,000. We have no 

way of determining the number of 

aircraft that might need this 

replacement. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. 

operators to be $4,385,040. 

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 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, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

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

(d) Unsafe Condition 

This AD results from reports of 50 

additional high-pressure compressor (HPC) 

stage 3 to 8 drums found cracked since AD 

2010–20–07 was issued. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent failure of the HPC stage 3 to 

8 drum, uncontained engine failure, and 

damage to the airplane. 

(e) Compliance 

You are responsible for having the actions 

required by this AD performed within the 

compliance times specified unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(f) Initial Ultrasonic Inspections (USIs) of the

[Docket No. FAA–2012–0510; Airspace 

Docket No. 12–ASO–17] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of Restricted Area R– 

2101; Anniston Army Depot, AL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the 

description of restricted area R–2101, 

Anniston Army Depot, AL, by removing 

the abbreviation ‘‘CST’’ from the time of 

designation, and by including a 

controlling agency for the restricted 

area. This amendment does not change 

the dimensions of, or activities 

conducted within, R–2101. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, July 26, 

2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul 

Gallant, Airspace, Regulations and ATC 

Procedures Group, Office of Airspace 

Services, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; 

telephone: (202) 267–8783. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The time of designation for R–2101 

currently reads ‘‘0700 to 1800 CST, 

Monday–Friday.’’ Since the restricted 

area lies completely within the central 

time zone, it is unnecessary to specify 

‘‘CST’’ in the description. The use of 

‘‘CST’’ has led to confusion about the 

time of designation during that part of 

the year when daylight saving time is in 

effect. The intended time of designation 

for the restricted areas is 0700–1800 

local time, Monday–Friday, during both 

standard time and daylight saving time 

periods. 

Currently, R–2101 does not have a 

designated controlling agency. A 

controlling agency is the air traffic 

control facility that exercises control of 

the airspace when it is not in use by the 

using agency for its designated purpose. 

Since the using agency releases R–2101 

during periods when it is not scheduled 

for use, the FAA is designating a 

controlling agency to enable joint use of 

the airspace during such periods. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by 

removing ‘‘CST’’ from the time of 

designation for restricted area R–2101, 

Anniston Army Depot, AL, and 

inserting the words ‘‘local time’’ in its 

place. The time of designation is 

amended to read ‘‘0700 to 1800 local 

time, Monday-Friday.’’ In addition, the 

FAA, Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control 

Center (ARTCC) is designated as the 

controlling agency for the restricted 

area. A controlling agency enables joint 

use of the airspace during periods when 

it is not required by the military using 

agency. These changes do not alter the 

current dimensions or usage of the 

restricted area. 

Because this action is a minor 

editorial change that does not alter the 

physical location or utilization of the 

restricted areas, I find that notice and 

public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 

are unnecessary. 

Section 73.21 of Title 14 CFR part 73 

was republished in FAA Order 7400.8T, 

effective February 16, 2011. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

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 amends airspace descriptions to keep 

them current. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 

311d. This action updates the technical 

description of special use airspace that 

does not alter the dimensions, altitudes, 

or use of the airspace. It is not expected 

to cause any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
