SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain GEAC M601D–11, M601E–11, M601E–11A, M601E–11AS, M601E–11S, M601F, H75–100, H75– 200, H80, H80–100, H80–200, H85–100, and H85 200 model turboprop engines. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 27, 2022 (87 FR 58466). The NPRM was prompted by AD 2022–0034, dated March 4, 2022, issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’). The MCAI states that occurrences of cracks in dilution tube weld areas of the combustion chamber outer liner have been reported. These cracks can lead to crack propagation, possibly resulting in part separation, loss of engine power, and reduced control of the aircraft. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require initial and repetitive BSIs of the dilution tube weld areas of the combustion chamber outer liner and, depending on the results of the inspections, corrective action in accordance with the service information. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA–2022–1239. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the costs. Conclusion These products have been approved by the aviation authority of another country and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 The FAA reviewed GEAC Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) ASB–H75–72– 40–00–0056 [01], ASB–M601E–72–40– 00–0113 [01], ASB–H80–72–40–00– 0099 [01], ASB–M601D–72–40–00–0081 [01], ASB–M601F–72–40–00–0064 [01], ASB–M601Z–72–40–00–0063 [01], and ASB–H85–72–40–00–0045 [01], (single document; formatted as service bulletin identifier [revision number]), dated February 16, 2022. This service information specifies procedures for BSIs of the dilution tube weld areas of the combustion chamber outer liner and replacement of the combustion chamber outer liner. 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 ADDRESSES . Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD affects 33 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD: E STIMATED C OSTS Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators BSI of combustion chamber outer liner .......... 2.5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $212.50 ..... $0 $212.50 $7,012.50 The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary replacements that would be required based on the results of the inspection. The agency has no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these replacements: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:02 Dec 21, 2022 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\22DER1.SGM 22DER1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 78534 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 245 / Thursday, December 22, 2022 / Rules and Regulations O N -C ONDITION C OSTS Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product On-wing replacement of combustion chamber outer liner. 64 work-hours × $85 per hour = $5,440 ...................... $74,909 $80,349 In-shop replacement of combustion chamber outer liner. 56 work-hours × $85 per hour = $4,760 ...................... 74,909 79,669 The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate. According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators. 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. The FAA is 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.
