ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Emergency Airworthiness Directive 

(AD) 2017–21–51 for all Engine Alliance 

(EA) GP7200 series turbofan engines. 

AD 2017–21–51 was sent previously to 

all known U.S. owners and operators of 

GP7200 series turbofan engines. AD 

2017–21–51 required visual inspections 

of all fan hubs for damage. This AD 

retains the same required actions as AD 

2017–21–51 and clarifies the 

compliance requirements. This AD was 

prompted by the failure of a GP7200 fan 

hub. We are issuing this AD to address 

the unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective November 

24, 2017. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of November 24, 2017. 

We must receive any comments on 

this AD by December 26, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On October 12, 2017, we issued 

Emergency AD 2017–21–51, (‘‘AD 2017– 

21–51’’), which was immediately 

effective to owners and operators of EA 

GP7200 series turbofan engines. AD 

2017–21–51 required visual inspections 

of the GP7200 series engine fan hubs for 

damage. AD 2017–21–51 resulted from 

an uncontained engine failure that 

occurred on an EA GP7270 turbofan 

engine. We issued AD 2017–21–51 to 

prevent an uncontained release of the 

fan hub, damage to the engine, and 

damage to the airplane. 

Actions Since AD 2017–21–51 Was 

Issued 

Since we issued AD 2017–21–51, we 

determined a need to clarify the 

compliance requirements. We are 

issuing this AD to correct the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed EA Alert Service 

Bulletin (ASB) EAGP7–A72–383, 

Revision No. 1, dated October 12, 2017. 

The ASB describes procedures for visual 

inspections of all fan hubs for damage. 

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. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires visual inspections of 

all fan hubs for damage. 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD interim action. 

An investigation to determine the cause 

of the failure is on-going and we may 

consider additional rulemaking if final 

action is identified. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD without providing an opportunity 

for public comments prior to adoption. 

The FAA has found that the risk to the 

flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because no U.S. operators are 

affected. Therefore, we find good cause 

that notice and opportunity for prior 

public comment are impracticable. In 

addition, for the reason stated above, we 

find that good cause exists for making 

this amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not provide you with notice and 

an opportunity to provide your 

comments before it becomes effective. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this final rule. Send your comments to 

an address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include the docket number 

FAA–2017–0988 and product identifier 

2017–NE–37–AD at the beginning of 

your comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this final rule. We will 

consider all comments received by the 

closing date and may amend this final 

rule because of those comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this final rule. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects no 

engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Fan hub inspection ................. 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ..................................... $0 $170 $0 

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. 

This AD is issued in accordance with 

authority delegated by the Executive 

Director, Aircraft Certification Service, 

as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. 

In accordance with that order, issuance 

of ADs is normally a function of the 

Compliance and Airworthiness 

Division, but during this transition 

period, the Executive Director has 

delegated the authority to issue ADs 

applicable to engines, propellers, and 

associated appliances to the Manager, 

Engine and Propeller Standards Branch, 

Policy and Innovation Division. 

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, 


nshattuck on DSK9F9SC42PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 51981 

(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.

and damage to the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the

specified in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, prior 

to further flight. 

(h) Credit for Previous Actions 

You may take credit for the inspection 

required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD if you
