Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & 

Whitney (PW) JT9D–7 Series Turbofan 

Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for PW 

models JT9D–7, –7A, –7AH, –7H, –7F, 

and –7J turbofan engines. This AD 

requires initial and repetitive borescope 

inspections of the 2nd stage highpressure turbine (HPT) rotor and stator 

assembly. This AD results from an 

uncontained failure of a 2nd stage HPT 

rotor disk that caused the engine to 

separate from the airplane. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent failure of the 

2nd stage HPT rotor disk, which could 

result in uncontained engine failure, 

damage to the airplane, and the engine 

separating from the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 

5, 2009. The Director of the Federal 

Register approved the incorporation by 

reference of certain publications listed 

in the regulations as of May 5, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with 

a proposed AD. The proposed AD 

applies to PW models JT9D–7, –7A, 

–7AH, –7H, –7F, and –7J turbofan 

engines. We published the proposed AD 

in the Federal Register on July 10, 2008 

(73 FR 39627). That action proposed to 

require an initial and repetitive 

borescope inspection of the 2nd stage 

HPT vane assembly. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains this AD, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is provided in the 

ADDRESSES section. Comments will be 

available in the AD docket shortly after 

receipt. 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We have 

considered the comment received. 

One commenter asks us to change the 

compliance time from ‘‘cycles-sinceoverhaul’’ to ‘‘cycles-since-last 

installation of the second stage HPT 

vanes.’’ The commenter states that 

second stage HPT vanes might be 

removed and replaced at times other 

than module overhaul, such as for 

module repair. 

We agree. We changed paragraph (f) of 

the proposed AD from ‘‘Within 100 

cycles-in-service (CIS) after the effective 

date of this AD, or within 1,000 CIS 

after the last HPT module overhaul 

* * *’’ to ‘‘Within 100 cycles-in-service 

(CIS) after the effective date of this AD, 

or within 1,000 CIS after the last 

installation of the second stage HPT 

vanes * * *’’ 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data, including the comment 

received, and determined that air safety 

and the public interest require adopting 

the AD with the changes described 

previously. We have determined that 

these changes will neither increase the 

economic burden on any operator nor 

increase the scope of the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

240 engines installed on airplanes of 

U.S. registry. We also estimate that it 

will take about 5 work-hours per engine 

to perform the proposed actions, that 

each engine might require two 

inspections, and that the average labor 

rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the total cost 

of the AD to U.S. operators to be 

$192,000. 

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: 


tjames on PRODPC61 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 31, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 14459

Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell 

Douglas Model MD–90–30 Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

McDonnell Douglas Model MD–90–30 

airplanes. This AD requires modifying 

the auxiliary hydraulic power system 

(including doing all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions). 

This AD results from fuel system 

reviews conducted by the manufacturer, 

as well as reports of shorted wires in the 

right wheel well and evidence of arcing 

on the power cables of the auxiliary 

hydraulic pump. We are issuing this AD 

to prevent shorted wires or electrical 

arcing at the auxiliary hydraulic pump, 

which could result in a fire in the wheel 

well; and to reduce the potential of an 

ignition source adjacent to the fuel 

tanks, which, in combination with 

flammable fuel vapors, could result in a 

fuel tank explosion and consequent loss 

of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 

5, 2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of May 5, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The FAA issued a supplemental 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an 

AD that would apply to certain 

McDonnell Douglas Model MD–90–30 

airplanes. That supplemental NPRM 

was published in the Federal Register 

on December 19, 2008 (73 FR 77555). 

That supplemental NPRM proposed to 

require modifying the auxiliary 

hydraulic system (including doing all 

applicable related investigative and 

corrective actions). 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. No comments 

have been received on the supplemental 

NPRM or on the determination of the 

cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data and determined that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD as proposed in the 

supplemental NPRM. 

Costs of Compliance 

There are about 110 airplanes of the 

affected design in the worldwide fleet. 

This AD affects about 16 airplanes of 

U.S. registry. The actions take between 

3 and 7 work-hours per airplane, 

depending on the configuration, at an 

average labor rate of $80 per work-hour. 

Required parts cost up to $5,343 per 

airplane. Based on these figures, the 

estimated cost of the AD for U.S. 

operators is up to $94,448, or $5,903 per 

airplane. 

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); and 

(3) 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
