22710 Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 81 / Tuesday, April 28, 2026 / Rules and Regulations 7 The 2007 ‘‘Energy Conservation Standards Rulemaking Peer Review Report’’ is available at energy.gov/eere/buildings/downloads/energy- conservation-standards-rulemaking-peer-review- report-0 (Last accessed Dec. 9, 2025). 8 The report is available at www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/review-of- methods-for-setting-building-and-equipment- performance-standards (Last accessed Dec. 9, 2025). In response to OMB’s Bulletin, DOE conducted formal peer reviews of the energy conservation standards development process and the analyses that are typically used and prepared a Peer Review report pertaining to the rulemaking analyses for energy conservation standards. 7 Generation of this report involved a rigorous, formal, and documented evaluation using objective criteria and qualified and independent reviewers to judge the technical/scientific/business merit, the actual or anticipated results, and the productivity and management effectiveness of programs and/or projects. Because available data, models, and technological understanding have changed since 2007, DOE has engaged with the National Academy of Sciences to review DOE’s analytical methodologies to ascertain whether modifications are needed to improve the Department’s analyses. DOE is in the process of evaluating the resulting report. 8 M. Review Under Additional Executive Orders and Presidential Memoranda DOE has examined this final rule and has determined that it is consistent with the policies and directives outlined in E.O. 14154, ‘‘Unleashing American Energy,’’ 90 FR 8353 (Jan. 29, 2025); E.O. 14192, ‘‘Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation,’’ 90 FR 9065 (Feb. 6, 2025); and Presidential Memorandum, ‘‘Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of-Living Crisis,’’ 90 FR 8245 (Jan. 28, 2025). This final rule has been determined to be an ‘‘E.O. 14192 deregulatory action’’ because it intends to reduce the burden to society by streamlining the regulatory framework and improving efficiency for regulated entities. The primary impact from the final rule is to eliminate the regulatory burden associated with a largely outdated administrative reporting requirement for exempted EPSs. This final rule allows manufacturers to focus their resources on matters of importance to them. These benefits are difficult to quantify, although DOE believes them to be positive. Even small positive changes, when aggregated, can result in meaningful burden reduction for industry. IV. Approval of the Office of the Secretary The Secretary of Energy has approved publication of this final rule.

(Type Certificate Previously Held by Turbomeca, S.A.) Engines AGENCY : Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION : Final rule. SUMMARY : The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024–24– 02 for all Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Safran) Model ARRIUS 2F engines. AD 2024–24–02 required removal of the affected fuel control unit (FCU) from service and replacement with a serviceable part. Since the FAA issued AD 2024–24–02, it was determined that certain serial numbers of the affected FCUs are not subject to the unsafe condition. This AD requires removal of the affected FCU from service and replacement with a serviceable part. This AD also reduces the number of affected FCUs. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES : This AD is effective June 2, 2026. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of June 2, 2026.

22711 Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 81 / Tuesday, April 28, 2026 / Rules and Regulations • You may view this material at the FAA, Operational Safety Branch, 1200 District Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803. For information on the availability of this material at the FAA, call (817) 222– 5110. It is also available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 2026–0016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : David Bergeron, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, NY 11590; phone: (860) 386–1805; email: david.j.bergeron@faa.gov . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2024–24–02, Amendment 39–22892 (89 FR 92789, November 25, 2024), (AD 2024–24–02). AD 2024–24–02 applied to all Safran Model ARRIUS 2F engines. AD 2024– 24–02 required removal of the affected FCU from service and replacement with a serviceable part. The FAA issued AD 2024–24–02 to detect and correct missing lubricating and balancing grooves on the bearings of the FCU fuel pump. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on January 20, 2026 (91 FR 2319). The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD 2024–0202R1, dated September 8, 2025 (EASA AD 2024– 0202R1) (also referred to as the MCAI), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA AD 2024– 0202R1 superseded EASA Emergency AD 2024–0202–E, dated October 22, 2024 (EASA Emergency AD 2024–0202– E). The MCAI states that since EASA Emergency AD 2024–0202–E was issued, the manufacturing cards were reviewed and it was determined that certain serial numbers were not subject to the non-conforming manufacturing process. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to retain all of the requirements of AD 2024–24–02. The NPRM proposed to require removal of the affected FCU from service and replacement with a serviceable part, and proposed to reduce the number of affected FCUs, as specified in the MCAI. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA–2026–0016. 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 civil 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, that authority 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. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator. Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51 The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2024– 0202R1, which specifies procedures for replacement of the affected parts with serviceable parts. The MCAI also specifies prohibiting installation of affected parts on an engine. This material 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. Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD affects five engines installed on helicopters 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 Replace the FCU ...................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ............................................... $20,650 $20,735 $103,675 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 The FAA has determined that 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. The Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 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.

22712 Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 81 / Tuesday, April 28, 2026 / Rules and Regulations ■ a. Removing Airworthiness Directive 2024–24–02, Amendment 39–22892 (89 FR 92789, November 25, 2024); and ■ b. Adding the following new airworthiness directive: 2026–08–12 Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Turbomeca, S.A.): Amendment 39– 23320; Docket No. FAA–2026–0016; Project Identifier MCAI–2025–01450–E. (a) Effective Date This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective June 2, 2026. (b) Affected ADs This AD replaces AD 2024–24–02, Amendment 39–22892 (89 FR 92789, November 25, 2024) (AD 2024–24–02). (c) Applicability This AD applies to Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Type Certificate previously held by Turbomeca, S.A.) Model ARRIUS 2F Engines, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2024– 0202R1, dated September 8, 2025 (EASA AD 2024–0202R1). (d) Subject Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 7314, Engine Fuel Pump. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a report of an uncommanded in-flight shut-down (IFSD) of a Safran Model ARRIUS 2F engine, followed by an investigation that revealed the IFSD was due to a missing lubricating and balancing groove on one of the bearings of the fuel control unit (FCU) fuel pump related to a non-conforming manufacturing process, and the determination that certain serial numbers of the affected FCUs are not affected by the unsafe condition. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct missing lubricating and balancing grooves on the bearings of the FCU fuel pump and reduce the number of affected serial numbers. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an uncommanded IFSD and a significant reduction of the control of a single engine helicopter. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Required Actions Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD: Do all required actions within the compliance times specified in, and in accordance with EASA AD 2024–0202R1. (h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2024–0202R1 (1) Where EASA AD 2024–0202R1 refers to ‘‘October 24, 2024 [the effective date of the original issue of this AD],’’ this AD requires using December 10, 2024 (the effective date of AD 2024–24–02). (2) Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2024–0202R1 specifies to return the FCU to a Repair Center approved by Safran Helicopter Engines, this AD requires removing those parts from service. (3) This AD does not adopt the ‘‘Remarks’’ section of EASA AD 2024–0202R1. (i) No Reporting Requirement Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2024–0202R1 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
