Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2001 / Proposed Rules 30341

and regulatory requirements of the

Federal government. At the same time,

the Administrative Committee is

constantly engaged in efforts to improve

the quality of our online publications,

including investments in new

technology applications that will

enhance e-government services to the

public. In addition, GPO recently took

new steps to significantly increase

server capacity to meet the growing

demand for online access to Federal

Register publications. For members of

the public who prefer to read the

printed editions, GPO continues to

provide free access to Federal Register

publications at Federal depository

libraries located throughout the nation

under funding provided by Congress.

The changes to subscription prices in

this proposal amount to a 9.6 percent

increase for the paper edition of the

Federal Register and a 9.2 percent

increase for the printed CFR. The

subscription price of the Weekly

Compilation of Presidential Documents

would increase by 12 percent. The price

changes are reflected in proposed

amendments to 1 CFR part 11. The

following rates would be effective after

the issuance of the final rule. The

annual subscription rate for the daily

Federal Register paper edition would

increase from $638 to $699. For a

combined Federal Register, Federal

Register Index and LSA (List of CFR

Sections Affected) subscription, the rate

would increase from $697 to $764. The

price of a single copy of the daily

Federal Register paper edition would

increase from $9 to $10. The annual

subscription rate for the microfiche

edition of the Federal Register, which

includes the Federal Register Index and

LSA, would increase from $253 to $264.

The annual subscription price for the

Federal Register Index increases from

$28 to $30. The annual subscription

price for the monthly LSA would

increase from $31 to $35. The annual

subscription rate for a full set of the CFR

paper edition would increase from

$1094 to $1195. The annual

subscription rate for the microfiche

edition of the CFR would increase from

$290 to $298. The annual subscription

rates for the Weekly Compilation of

Presidential Documents would increase

from $92 to $103 for delivery by nonpriority mail and from $151 to $169 for

delivery by first-class mail.

Regulatory Analysis

Executive Order 12866

The proposed rule has been drafted in

accordance with Executive Order 12866,

section 1(b), ‘‘Principles of Regulation.’’

The Administrative Committee has

determined that this proposed

rulemaking is not a significant

regulatory action, as defined under

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5

U.S.C. 601 et seq., does not apply to rate

increases necessary to recover the costs

to the Government for printing and

distributing Federal Register

publications. This action would not

have a significant impact on small

entities since it would not impose any

substantive requirements, and any

increased costs could be avoided by

accessing Federal Register publications

through the free GPO Access service on

the Internet or at a Federal depository

library.

Federalism

This proposed rule has no Federalism

implications under Executive Order

13132. It would not impose compliance

costs on State or local governments or

preempt State law.

30342 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2001 / Proposed Rules

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) proposes to

revise an existing airworthiness

directive (AD), applicable to CFE

Company Model CFE738–1–1B turbofan

engines. That AD currently requires a

one-time visual inspection of Stage 2

high pressure turbine (HPT) aft cooling

plates for nicks, dents, raised metal, and

scratches, and if necessary, repair of the

cooling plates or replacement with

serviceable parts. This proposal is

prompted by an updated alert service

bulletin (ASB) that reduces the number

of stage 2 HPT aft cooling plates affected

by this AD and identifies the applicable

engines by engine serial numbers (SN’s).

In the event that the affected gas

generator modules containing the

affected parts have been transferred to

another engine, the SN’s of those gas

generator modules have been added to

this AD. The actions specified by the

proposed AD are intended to prevent

stage 2 HPT aft cooling plate failure,

which could result in an uncontained

engine failure and damage to the

airplane.

DATES: Comments must be received by

August 6, 2001.

Regional Counsel, Attention: Rules

Docket No. 99–NE–39–AD, 12 New

England Executive Park, Burlington, MA

01803–5299.

Discussion

On December 29, 1999, the FAA

issued AD 99–27–16, Amendment 39–

11497 (65 FR 691, January 6, 2000), to

require a one-time visual inspection of

72 Stage 2 HPT aft cooling plates for

nicks, dents, raised metal, and

scratches. If any nicks, dents, raised

metal, or scratches were found, that AD

also required repair of the cooling plates

or replacement with serviceable parts.

That action was prompted by reports of

Stage 2 HPT aft cooling plates that were

dented during the assembly of the

cooling plate to the Stage 2 disk due to

raised metal on the stage 2 HPT disk

post aft mating surface. The raised metal

condition on the stage 2 HPT disk post

was caused by an improperly installed

locating pin in the assembly tool. That

condition, if not corrected, could result

in HPT aft cooling plate failure, which

could result in an uncontained engine

failure and damage to the airplane.

Since AD 99–27–16 was issued, CFE

Company has isolated the observed

assembly damage to a known

replacement of the locating pin in the

assembly tooling. It has been

determined that only ten of the original

72 HPT cooling plate/stage 2 disk

assemblies were assembled before tool

correction occurred. Records show these

ten HPT cooling plate/stage 2 disk

assemblies were subsequently

assembled in ten gas generator modules,

S/N’s 800421–800430. These gas

generator modules, along with the

engines on which these modules were

installed, are listed in this AD.

Manufacturer’s Service Information

The FAA has reviewed and approved

the technical contents of CFE Company

Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) CFE738–

A72–8031, Revision 2, dated October

17, 2000, that describes the dimensional

inspection procedures for indentation

depth on stage 2 HPT aft cooling plates,

inspection of the stage 2 HPT rotor disk

for raised metal, and the acceptance and

repair criteria of the stage 2 HPT aft

cooling plate and HPT rotor disk.

Differences Between This AD and the

Manufacturer’s Service Information

Although ASB CFE738–A72–8031,

Revision 2, dated October 17, 2000,

identifies ten engines by SN, the FAA is

also listing the ten gas generator module

SN’s in which the affected HPT cooling

plate/stage 2 HPT disk assemblies are

installed. This listing is made to assure

that the gas generator modules

containing the affected parts are

identified and inspected regardless of

which engine they are installed on. Gas

generator modules may not necessarily

stay installed in one and only one

engine.

FAA’s Determination of an Unsafe

Condition and Proposed Actions

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop on other products of this same

type design, the proposed AD would

require, on gas generator modules

identified by SN, a one-time visual

inspection of stage 2 HPT aft cooling

plates for nicks, dents, raised metal, and

scratches, and if present, replacement

with serviceable parts, or, dimensional

inspection of indentation depth, repair

if indentation is within acceptable

limits, and if not, replacement with

serviceable parts. This AD would also

require inspection of the stage 2 HPT

rotor disk post aft surface which mates

with the stage 2 HPT aft cooling plate,

for raised metal, and, removal of the

raised metal, if present, or replacement

with a serviceable part. The inspections

would be required at the next shop visit

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2001 / Proposed Rules 30343

after the effective date of this AD where

the HPT assembly is sufficiently

disassembled to afford access to the

stage 2 HPT aft cooling plate, but not

later than 4,500 part cycles-since-new

(CSN) in accordance with the ASB

described previously.

Economic Impact

There are approximately ten engines

of the affected design in the worldwide

fleet. The FAA estimates that nine

engines installed on airplanes of US

registry would be affected by this

proposed AD, that it would take

approximately four work hours per

engine to accomplish the proposed

inspection if the inspection did not take

place during scheduled maintenance,

and that the average labor rate is $60 per

work hour. Required parts would cost

approximately $1,536 per engine. Based

on these figures, the total cost impact of

the proposed AD on US operators is

estimated to be $15,484.

Regulatory Impact

This proposed rule does not have

federalism implications, as defined in

Executive Order 13132, because it

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.

Accordingly, the FAA has not consulted

with state authorities prior to

publication of this proposed rule.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that 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); and (3) if

promulgated, 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. A copy of the draft

regulatory evaluation prepared for this

action is contained in the Rules Docket.

A copy of it may be obtained by

contacting the Rules Docket at the

location provided under the caption
