AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Dowty Propellers R352/6–123–F/1, 

R352/6–123–F/2, and R410/6–123–F/35 

model propellers. This proposed AD 

was prompted by reports of dowel hole 

cracks in the face of the rear hub half. 

This proposed AD would require a 

records review to determine repair 

status and marking the affected 

propeller hubs as required. This 

proposed AD would also require 

installing dowel hole liners as 

necessary. We are proposing this AD to 

prevent loss of structural integrity of the 

propeller hub, which could result in 

damage to the propeller and damage to 

the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by December 14, 

2015.

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA AD 2015– 

0158, dated July 30, 2015 (referred to 

hereinafter as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Cracking around the hub location dowel 

holes in the face of the rear hub half has 

occurred sporadically. Previous 

investigations found no manufacturing 

defects in cracked hubs and concluded that 

the hub cracking was caused by damage to 

the dowel holes during propeller installation. 

Since that original SB was issued, three 

hubs have been found to show cracking 

around the location dowel holes. The hubs 

were all found cracked within a short period 

of time and all had low time since new. 

This condition, if not detected, can 

adversely affect the structural integrity of the 

propeller hub, with possible damage to the 

propeller and to the aeroplane. 

You may obtain further information 

by examining the MCAI in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

3661. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Dowty Propellers has issued Alert 

Service Bulletin (ASB) No. F50–61– 

A165, Revision 2, dated July 28, 2015. 

The service information describes 

procedures for installing liners in the 

hub location dowel holes in the face of 

the rear hub half and marking the hub 

with the repair number. This service 

information is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section of this NPRM. 

Other Related Service Information 

Dowty Propellers has issued 

Component Maintenance Manual, 61– 

10–34, Repair No. 53, dated May 15, 

2013. The service information describes 

procedures for installing liners in the 

hub location dowel holes and marking 

the repair number on modified hubs. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of the United 

Kingdom, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the European 

Community, EASA has notified us of 

the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

NPRM because we evaluated all 

information provided by EASA and 

determined the unsafe condition exists 

and is likely to exist or develop on other 

products of the same type design. This 

NPRM would require marking and 

inspecting the affected propeller hubs to 

determine repair status and installing 

dowel hole liners as necessary. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 4 propellers installed on 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 5 

hours per propeller to comply with this 

proposed AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per hour. Required parts cost about 

$322 per propeller. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$2,988. 

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 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 this 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

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 adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

Dowty Propellers: Docket No. FAA–2015– 

3661; Directorate Identifier 2015–NE– 

24–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by December 

14, 2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None.
