SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to all GE CF6–80E1 turbofan 

engines with rotating CDP seal, P/N 

1669M73P02, installed. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 17, 2015 (80 FR 71747). The 

NPRM was prompted by reports of 

cracks in the teeth of two rotating CDP 

seals found during engine shop visits. 

The NPRM proposed to require 

stripping of the coating, inspecting, and 

recoating the teeth of the affected 

rotating CDP seals. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent cracking of the CDP seal 

teeth, uncontained part release, damage 

to the engine, and damage to the 

airplane. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (80 FR 71747, 

November 17, 2015) (‘‘the NPRM’’) and 

the FAA’s response to each comment. 

Request To Clarify Definition 

Qantas, Air France, KLM Royal Dutch 

Airlines (KLM), and GE Aviation 

requested that the shop visit definition 

be clarified to allow for randomly 

occurring exemptions. Including 

exemptions would not increase the time 

between full shop visits. 

We agree. We changed the shop visit 

definition to include specific conditions 

that do not qualify as shop visits. 

Request To Clarify the Shop Visit 

Definition 

KLM and Air France requested we 

clarify the phrase ‘‘separation of pairs of 

major mating engine flanges’’. 

We agree. We changed the definition 

for engine shop visit. 

Request To Change Compliance Time 

Qantas requested a more restrictive 

compliance time for engines that 

experience blade-out events and a less 

restrictive compliance time of next part 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 64 / Monday, April 4, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 19023 

exposure for all other affected engines. 

Only engines that experience blade-out 

conditions require urgent compliance 

times. 

We disagree. The compliance times in 

the NPRM were derived from analysis 

that includes the risks associated with 

engines with and without blade-out 

events. We did not change this AD. 

Request To Clarify Compliance 

Qantas requested that we clarify the 

specific type of stationary CDP seal 

repair and that we clarify what is 

considered a replaced stationary CDP 

seal. 

We agree. We modified the 

Compliance section to specify the repair 

as ‘honeycomb’. We also added a 

definition to define a replaced CDP seal. 

Request To Change Applicability 

KLM requested that the applicability 

be expanded to include spare parts. 

We partially agree. We agree with the 

concern for accidental installation of 

borazon-nickel coated rotating CDP 

seals because the NPRM does not 

preclude this scenario. We disagree with 

expanding this AD to include spare 

parts because ADs address unsafe 

conditions of engines, not spare parts. 

We changed this AD by adding an 

installation prohibition paragraph to 

address this concern. 

Request To Change Credit for Previous 

Action 

KLM requested the Credit for Previous 

Action paragraph allow for other 

approved original equipment 

manufacturer approved procedures for 

stripping and recoating rotating CDP 

seal teeth. KLM recoated two CDP seals 

using a procedure approved by GE. 

We disagree. It is unknown whether 

previous recoating procedures are 

equivalent to the procedures specified 

in the Credit for Previous Action 

paragraph of this AD. Any party may 

submit a request for an Alternative 

Method of Compliance using the 

procedures listed in this AD. We did not 

change this AD. 

Additional Changes 

We clarified paragraphs (e)(2)(i) and 

(e)(2)(ii) of this AD. 

We updated the cost estimate. We 

changed the Costs of Compliance 

paragraph of this AD by increasing the 

number of affected engines by four and 

updating the costs accordingly. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this 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 this AD. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed GE Service Bulletin (SB) 

CF6–80E1 S/B 72–0529, Revision 01, 

dated August 21, 2015. The SB 

describes procedures for stripping, 

inspecting, and replacing the seal tooth 

coating on the affected rotating CDP 

seals. 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. 

Other Related Service Information 

We reviewed GE CF6–80E1 

(GEK99376) Engine Manual, Revision 

42, dated March 15, 2014. The engine 

manual describes acceptable repair 

procedures for the seal teeth. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

10 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it will 

take about 7.15 hours per engine to 

comply with this AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per hour. Parts would cost 

about $7,835 per engine. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the total cost of this 

AD to U.S. operators to be $84,428. 

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 

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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on January 4, 2016 (81 FR 27). 

The NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

In-flight shut down occurrences have been 

reported on aeroplanes equipped with TAE 

125–02 engines. The initial results of the
