(d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight Controls. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a report of a failed extension of the inboard slats during the landing phase, which the crew alerting system did not indicate to the flightcrew. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the failed extension of inboard slats during landing phase without flightcrew indication. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to reduced lift margin during approach and landing and result in reduced control of the airplane. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Requirements Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2025– 0092. (h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2025–0092 (1) Where EASA AD 2025–0092 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD. (2) Where paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2025– 0092 specifies to ‘‘implement the AFM–CP’’, this AD requires replacing that text with ‘‘revise the existing AFM to incorporate the procedures in ‘‘the AFM–CP’’ for addressing slat failures’’. (3) Where paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2025– 0092 specifies to ‘‘inform all flight crews, and thereafter, operate the aeroplane accordingly,’’ this AD does not require those actions as those actions are already required by existing FAA operating regulations (see 14 CFR 91.9, 91.505, 121.137, and 121.628(a)(2) and (5)). (4) Where paragraph (5) of EASA AD 2025– 0092 specifies ‘‘An aeroplane, the AFM of which has been amended to comply with paragraph (3) of this AD, or that has been amended by incorporating the AFM at revision 7, or later’’, this AD requires replacing that text with ‘‘An airplane that has been amended by incorporating the AFM at revision 7, or later’’. (5) This AD does not adopt the ‘‘Remarks’’ section of EASA AD 2025–0092. (i) No Reporting Requirement Although the material referenced in EASA AD 2025–0092 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.

ACTION : Final rule. SUMMARY : The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023–26– 04 for all Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent 1000–AE3, Trent 1000–CE3, Trent 1000–D3, Trent 1000–G3, Trent 1000–H3, Trent 1000– J3, Trent 1000–K3, Trent 1000–L3, Trent 1000–M3, Trent 1000–N3, Trent 1000– P3, Trent 1000–Q3, and Trent 1000–R3 engines. AD 2023–26–04 required initial and repetitive in-shop visual inspections of the intermediate-pressure stage 8 (IP8) and high-pressure stage 3 (HP3) air transfer tubes and front bearing housing IP8 air feed tubes for cracking, damage, or air leakage wear, and replacement, if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2023–26–04, the FAA has determined that a new set of initial and repetitive on-wing visual inspections of the IP8 and HP3 air transfer tubes for cracking, damage, or air leakage wear are necessary, and consequently the inspection interval for the repetitive in-shop visual inspections of front bearing housing IP8 air feed tubes may be increased. This AD requires initial and repetitive in-shop visual inspections of the IP8 and HP3 air transfer tubes and front bearing housing IP8 air feed tubes (with increased inspection interval) for cracking, damage, or air leakage wear, and replacement, if necessary. This AD also requires initial and repetitive on- wing visual inspections of the IP8 and HP3 air transfer tubes for cracking, damage, or air leakage wear, and replacement, if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES : This AD is effective July 9, 2026. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 9, 2026.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Alexis Whitaker, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 2200 South 216th Street, Des Moines, WA 98198; phone: (516) 228–7309; email: alexis.j.whitaker@ faa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2023–26–04, Amendment 39–22647 (89 FR 251, January 3, 2024) (AD 2023–26–04). AD 2023–26–04 applied to all RRD Model Trent 1000–AE3, Trent 1000–CE3, Trent 1000–D3, Trent 1000–G3, Trent 1000– H3, Trent 1000–J3, Trent 1000–K3, Trent 1000–L3, Trent 1000–M3, Trent 1000–N3, Trent 1000–P3, Trent 1000– Q3, and Trent 1000–R3 engines. AD 2023–26–04 required initial and repetitive in-shop visual inspections of the IP8 and HP3 air transfer tubes and front bearing housing IP8 air feed tubes for cracking, damage, or air leakage wear, and replacement, if necessary. The FAA issued AD 2023–26–04 to prevent failure of the IP8 and HP3 air transfer tubes and front bearing housing IP8 air feed tubes. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on February 6, 2026 (91 FR 5378). The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD 2025–0176, dated August 7, 2025 (EASA AD 2025–0176) (also referred to as the MCAI), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. The MCAI states that since EASA AD 2023–0087 was published, the manufacturer has issued service information to include initial and repetitive on-wing visual inspections of the IP8 and HP3 air transfer tubes, and an increase to the interval for the in- shop visual inspections of front bearing housing IP8 air feed tubes. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to continue to require initial and repetitive in-shop visual inspections of the IP8 and HP3 air transfer tubes and front bearing housing IP8 air feed tubes (with increased inspection interval) for cracking, damage, or air leakage wear, and replacement, if necessary. In the NPRM, the FAA also proposed to require initial and repetitive on-wing visual inspections of the IP8 and HP3 air transfer tubes for cracking, damage, or air leakage wear, and replacement, if necessary. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA–2026–0742. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received comments from two commenters. Commenters included the Airline Pilots Association, International (ALPA) and The Boeing Company (Boeing). All commenters supported the NPRM without change. 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, considered any comments received, 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 2025– 0176, which specifies procedures for performing initial and repetitive on- wing and in-shop visual inspections of the IP8 and HP3 air transfer tubes and front bearing housing IP8 air feed tubes for cracking, damage, or air leakage wear, and replacement if necessary. 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 four 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 On-wing inspection of air tubes ...................... 4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ............. $0 $340 $1,360 In-shop inspection of air tubes ....................... 4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ............. 0 340 1,360 The FAA estimates the following costs to do any replacements that would be required based on the results of the inspection. The agency has no way of determining the number of engines that might need these replacements: O N -C ONDITION C OSTS Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Replace IP8 air transfer tubes ..................................... 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ........................... $7,600 $7,770 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:32 Jun 03, 2026 Jkt 268001 PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\04JNR1.SGM 04JNR1 lotter on DSK8BHNXB4PROD with RULES1

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. The FAA amends § 39.13 by: ■ a. Removing Airworthiness Directive 2023–26–04, Amendment 39–22647 (89 FR 251, January 3, 2024); and ■ b. Adding the following new airworthiness directive: 2026–10–21 Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG: Amendment 39–23361; Docket No. FAA–2026–0742; Project Identifier MCAI–2025–01337–E.

[FR Doc. 2026–11179 Filed 6–3–26; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–13–P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Coast Guard 33 CFR Part 100 [Docket Number USCG–2026–0630] RIN 1625–AA08 Special Local Regulation; Allegheny River Mile Marker 20.5–21.5, Creighton, PA AGENCY : Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security. ACTION : Temporary final rule. SUMMARY : The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local regulation (SLR) on the waters of the Allegheny River from mile marker 20.5 to mile marker 21.5 in Creighton, PA.This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters from potential hazards during a powerboat regatta. This rulemaking prohibits persons and vessels from being in the regulated area unless registered as an event participant, or authorized by the Captain of the Port Pittsburgh or a designated representative. DATES : This rule is effective from June 6, 2026 through June 7, 2026. The special local regulation established by this rule will be enforced from 5 a.m. through 8 p.m. on each of those days. ADDRESSES : To view available documents go to https:// www.regulations.gov and search for USCG–2026–0630. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : If you have questions about this rule, contact Petty Officer Brett Lanzel, MSU Pittsburgh, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 206–815–6624, email Brett.J.Lanzel@ uscg.mil . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section SLR Special Local Regulation U.S.C. United States Code II. Background and Authority On May 8, 2026, an organization notified the Coast Guard that from 5 a.m. on June 6, 2026, through 8 p.m. on June 7, 2026, they will sponsor a speedboat race. The event will be held between Mile Markers 20.5 and 21.5 on the Allegheny River in Creighton, PA. The Captain of the Port Pittsburgh (COTP) is issuing this Special Local Regulation (SLR) under the authority in 46 U.S.C. 70041. The COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with the speedboat race include vessels transiting at high rates of speed and increased vessel traffic. The purpose of this rulemaking is to protect event participants, non- participants, and transiting vessels before, during, and after the scheduled event. Because of these potential hazards, the Coast Guard is issuing this rule without prior notice and comment. As is authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because it is impracticable and contrary to the public interest. The Coast Guard was notified of this event on May 8, 2026, but we must establish this SLR by June 6, 2026, to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment. Therefore, we have do not have enough time to solicit and respond to comments. For the same reasons, the Coast Guard finds that under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register . III. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a temporary SLR from 5 a.m. until 8 p.m. on both June 6, 2026 and June 7, 2026. The special local regulation will cover all navigable waters of the Alleghany River from mile marker 20.5 and mile marker 21.5. Vessels and persons that are not registered race participants will not be permitted to enter the regulated area without obtaining permission from the COTP or their designated representative. IV. Regulatory Analyses We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders. A. Impact on Small Entities The regulatory flexibility analysis provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, do not apply to rules that are not subject to notice and comment. Because the Coast Guard has, for good cause, waived the notice and comment requirement that would otherwise apply to this rulemaking, the Regulatory Flexibility Act’s flexibility analysis provisions do not apply here. Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), if this rule will affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions, contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Small businesses may send comments to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards by calling 1– 888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. B. Collection of Information This rule will not call for a new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). C. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in that Order. Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
