Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA Emergency AD No. 2017-0046-E, dated
March 10, 2017, to correct an unsafe condition for Leonardo (previously
Finmeccanica S.p.A, AgustaWestland S.p.A.) Model A109E, A109LUH, A109S,
and

AW109SP helicopters. EASA advises that during inspections of two
AW109SP helicopters, degraded bearings, part number (P/N) 109G6320L01-
101, were discovered on the engine and transmission oil cooling system
pulley assembly, P/N 109G6320A26-101. EASA further states that because
of this condition, both fan assemblies could cease to function,
resulting in engine power loss, transmission failure, and loss of
control of the helicopter. To correct this unsafe condition, the EASA
AD requires a one-time inspection of each pulley assembly bearing and
replacing each fan assembly.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Italy and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Italy, EASA, its technical representative,
has notified us of the unsafe condition described in the EASA AD. We
are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by
EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist
or develop on other helicopters of these same type designs.

Related Service Information

    We reviewed Leonardo Helicopters Emergency Alert Service Bulletin
(EASB) No. 109-EP-153 for Model A109E helicopters, EASB No. 109S-075
for Model A109S helicopters, and EASB No. 109SP-112 for Model AW109SP
helicopters, all dated March 8, 2017. This service information contains
procedures for inspecting each pulley assembly bearing P/N 109G6320L01-
101 for grease shield damage or leaking grease and axial and radial
play, and freedom of rotation of the bearing. This service information
also provides procedures for replacing each fan assembly P/N 109-0455-
01-103 with a fan assembly P/N 109-0455-01-101.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires, within 5 hours time-in-service (TIS), inspecting
with a borescope each bearing P/N 109G6320L01-101 grease shield for a
crack, position of the grease shield, and leaking grease. If there is a
crack or leaking grease or if the grease shield is out of position,
this AD requires replacing each fan assembly with fan assembly P/N 109-
0455-01-101 before further flight.
    This AD also requires inspecting each bearing for axial and radial
play and freedom of rotation. If there is any axial or radial play,
rotation resistance, or binding, this AD requires replacing each fan
assembly with fan assembly P/N 109-0455-01-101 before further flight.
If there is no play, no rotation resistance, and no binding, this AD
requires replacing each fan assembly with fan assembly P/N 109-0455-01-
101 within 20 hours TIS.
    Finally, this AD prohibits installing fan assembly P/N 109-0455-01-
103 on any helicopter.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD applies to Model A109LUH helicopters; this AD does not
as this model is a military model and does not have an FAA type
certificate.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 127 helicopters of U.S. Registry.
We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order to
comply with this AD.
    At an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour, inspecting the
bearings will require 1 hour, for a cost per helicopter of $85.
Replacing both fan assemblies will require 8 hours and $44,800 for
parts. Based on these figures, we estimate a total cost of $45,565 per
helicopter and $5,786,755 for the U.S. fleet to comply with this AD.
    According to the Leonardo service information, some of the costs of
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact
on affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage by
Leonardo. Accordingly, we have included all costs in our cost estimate.

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 the previously described unsafe condition can adversely affect
the controllability of the helicopter and the initial required
corrective action must be accomplished within 5 hours TIS. 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.

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.

Regulatory Findings

    We 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, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
