SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SIP revision also consists of the 2017
calendar year statewide periodic emissions inventory for New Jersey.
The pollutants included in this inventory include VOC, NOX,
CO, particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal
to 2.5 microns (PM2.5), particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 microns
(PM10), ammonia (NH3) and sulfur dioxide
(SO2). Emission inventories are needed to develop and assess
new control strategies that the states may use in attainment
demonstration SIPs associated with the NAAQS for ozone, CO and
PM2.5 and for regional haze planning SIPs.
    In addition, EPA is proposing to approve the demonstration portion
of the comprehensive SIP revision submitted by New Jersey that
certifies that the State has satisfied the requirements for a
nonattainment emission inventory for a Serious classification of the
2008 NAAQS.

I. Background

    Ozone is a gas that is formed by the reaction of VOC and
NOX in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight.
Therefore, an emission inventory for ozone focuses on the emissions of
VOC and NOX referred to as ozone precursors. These
precursors (VOC and NOX) are emitted by many types of
pollution sources, including point sources such as power plants and
industrial emissions sources; on-road and off-road mobile sources
(motor vehicles and engines); and smaller residential and commercial
sources, such as dry cleaners, auto body shops, and household paints,
collectively referred to as nonpoint sources (also called area
sources).
    The Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) requires that areas designated
as nonattainment for ozone and classified as moderate or worse
demonstrate Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) by reducing emissions of
ozone precursors (NOX and VOCs).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See CAA sections 172(c)(2) and 182(b)(1) and 40 CFR 51.1110.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 12, 2008, the EPA revised both the primary and secondary
NAAQS \2\ for ozone to a level of 0.075 parts per million (ppm) (annual
fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour average concentration, averaged
over three years) to provide increased protection of public health and
the environment. (See 73 FR 16436, March 27, 2008). The 2008 ozone
NAAQS retains the same general form and averaging time as the 0.08 ppm
NAAQS set on 1997, but is set at a more protective level. Under the
EPA's regulations, the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS is attained when the 3-
year average of the annual fourth highest daily maximum 8-hour average
ambient air quality ozone concentrations is less than or equal to 0.075
ppm. See 40 CFR 50.15.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The primary ozone standards provide protection for children,
older adults, and people with asthma or other lung diseases, and
other at-risk populations against an array of adverse health effects
that include reduced lung function, increased respiratory symptoms
and pulmonary inflammation; effects that contribute to emergency
department visits or hospital admissions; and mortality. The
secondary ozone standards protect against adverse effects to the
public welfare, including those related to impacts on sensitive
vegetation and forested ecosystems.
    \3\ For a detailed explanation of the calculation of the 3-year
8-hour average. (See 80 FR 65296 and 40 CFR part 50, Appendix U).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Effective July 20, 2012, the EPA designated as nonattainment any
area that was violating the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS based on the three
most recent years (2008-2010) of air monitoring data. (See 77 FR 30088,
May 21, 2012). With that rulemaking, Northern New Jersey and Southern
New Jersey areas were designated as marginal ozone nonattainment areas.
Areas that were designated as marginal nonattainment were required to
attain the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS no later than July 20, 2015, based
on 2012-2014 monitoring data.
    The counties in Northern New Jersey consist of Bergen, Essex,
Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic, Somerset,
Sussex, Union, and Warren. The counties in Southern New Jersey consist
of Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester,
Mercer, Ocean, and Salem.
    On May 4, 2016, the EPA published its determination that Northern
New Jersey had failed to attain the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS by the
attainment deadline and the area was reclassified to moderate ozone
nonattainment area. See 40 CFR 81.306. (See 81 FR 26697). Moderate
areas are required to attain the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS by no later
than six years after the effective date of designations, or July 20,
2018, based on 2015-2017 monitoring data See 40 CFR 51.903.
    Effective September 23, 2019, the EPA published its determination
that Northern New Jersey had failed to attain 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS
by the attainment deadline based on the monitoring data (2015-17), and
the area was reclassified as serious nonattainment area. (See 84 FR
44238, August 23, 2019). Areas that were designated as serious
nonattainment were required to attain the 2008 ozone NAAQS no later
than July 20, 2021, based on 2018-2020 monitoring data. (See id.)
    Effective November 7, 2022, the EPA published its determination
that Northern New Jersey had failed to attain 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS
by the attainment deadline based on the most recent years (2018-2020).
(See 87 FR 60926, October 7, 2022). Areas that were reclassified as
severe nonattainment were required to attain the 2008 8-hour ozone
NAAQS must attain the standard ``as expeditious as practicable'' but no
later than July 20, 2027, based on 2024-2026 monitoring data. (See id.)

A. Statutory and Regulatory Requirements for Emission Inventories

    Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the Act requires states with ozone
nonattainment areas to submit revisions to their SIP to require the
owner or operator of each major stationary source of NOX or
VOC to provide the state with annual statements documenting the actual
emissions of NOX and VOC from their sources. For
nonattainment areas, air agencies must develop, and include in their
SIPs, emission reporting programs for certain VOC and NOX
sources. CAA section 110, in conjunction with 40 CFR 51.102, 51.103 and
Appendix V, establishes the procedure for submitting a SIP revision. In
addition, 40 CFR 51.308(d)(4)(v) of EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR)
requires the establishment of a statewide emissions inventory of
pollutants that are reasonably anticipated to cause or contribute to
visibility impairment in any mandatory Class I area.
    Sections 172(c)(3) and 182(a)(1) of the Act require states to
develop and submit, as a SIP revision, ``base year'' emissions
inventories for all areas designated as nonattainment for an ozone
NAAQS.
    The EPA's 2008 ozone NAAQS was published on March 6, 2015 (the 2008
ozone rule). (See 80 FR 12264). The 2008 ozone rule established
implementation requirements for the 2008 ozone NAAQS, including
requirements for base year emissions inventories under CAA section
182(a)(1). (See id.). The ozone rule for the 2008 ozone NAAQS is
codified at 40 CFR part 51, subpart CC, and the emissions inventory
requirements are codified at 40 CFR 51.1315.
    40 CFR 51.1315(a) requires each ozone nonattainment area to submit
a base year inventory within 2 years of designation. 40 CFR 51.1315(a)
also requires that the inventory year be selected consistent with the
baseline year for the RFP plan as required by 40 CFR 51.1310(b), which
states that the baseline emissions inventory shall be the emissions
inventory for the most recent calendar year for which a complete
triennial inventory is required to be submitted to the EPA under the
provisions of subpart A of 40 CFR part 51, Air Emissions Reporting
Requirements, 40 CFR 51.1 through 50. New Jersey selected 2017 as their
baseline emissions inventory year for RFP.
    For the ozone NAAQS, states are required to submit ozone season day
emissions estimates for an inventory calendar year to be consistent
with the baseline year for RFP plans as required by 40 CFR 51.1310(b)
and 40 CFR 51.1315. Under 40 CFR 51.1310(b), for the 2008 ozone NAAQS,
the RFP baseline year is the most recent calendar year for which a
complete triennial inventory is required to be submitted to the EPA
under 40 CFR 51 subpart A.

States may use an alternative baseline emissions inventory provided
that the year selected corresponds with the year of the effective date
of designation as nonattainment for that NAAQS.
    40 CFR 51.1315(c) requires emissions values included in the base
year inventory to be actual ozone season day emissions as defined by 40
CFR 51.1300(q), which states that ozone season day emissions are an
average day's emissions for a typical ozone season work weekday. Per
EPA's 2017 guidance on emissions inventory development, the selected
ozone season should be representative of the conditions leading to
nonattainment.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ EPA, ``Emissions Inventory Guidance for Implementation of
Ozone and Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) and Regional Haze Regulations'', at 75 (May 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sections 182(a)(1), 182(a)(3) and 172(c)(3) of the Act require the
periodic submission of emissions inventories for the SIP planning
process to address the pollutants for the ozone, PM2.5 and
CO NAAQS. Identifying the calendar year gives certainty to states that
require submission of the ozone, PM2.5 and CO emission
inventories periodically. These requirements allow the EPA, based on
the states' progress in reducing emissions, to periodically reassess
its policies and air quality standards and revise them as necessary.
Most important, the ozone, PM2.5 and CO inventories will be
used to develop and assess new control strategies that the states may
use in attainment demonstration SIPs for the new NAAQS for ozone and
PM2.5. The inventory may also serve as part of statewide
inventories for purposes of regional modeling in transport areas. The
inventory plays an important role in modeling demonstrations for areas
classified as nonattainment and outside transport regions. For Regional
Haze, New Jersey has a Class I area within its borders: Brigantine
Wilderness Area. Emissions from New Jersey's sources were also found to
impact visibility at several other Class I areas: Acadia National Park
and the Moosehorn Wilderness Area in Maine, the Great Gulf Wilderness
Area and Presidential Range/Dry River and the Lye Brook Wilderness Area
in Vermont. (See 76 FR 49711, August 11, 2011). Therefore, an emissions
inventory is needed for the Regional Haze air quality planning program
effort.
    The pollutants inventoried by New Jersey include VOC,
NOX, and CO summertime daily and annual emissions for the
ozone areas; and VOC, NOX, PM2.5,
PM10, NH3 and SO2 annual emissions for
the PM2.5 and/or Regional Haze areas. For the reasons stated
above, EPA would therefore emphasize the importance and benefits of
developing a comprehensive, current, and accurate ozone and
PM2.5/Regional Haze emissions inventory (similar to the 1990
base year inventory effort). In this case, New Jersey selected the 2017
calendar year as the inventory that it will use for planning purposes
for ozone and PM2.5/Regional Haze areas.

II. Description of State's Submittal

    CAA Section 182 subpart 2 outlines SIP requirements applicable to
ozone nonattainment areas in each classification category. On November
23, 2021, New Jersey submitted a comprehensive SIP revision that
included the 2017 calendar year ozone precursor emission inventory for
VOC, NOX, CO, PM2.5, PM10,
NH3 and SO2 for the Northern New Jersey and
Southern New Jersey ozone nonattainment areas. In addition, the SIP
revision submittal consisted of the 2017 calendar year statewide
periodic emissions inventory for VOC, NOX and CO, and a
revision for the 2011 nonattainment base year emission inventory for
the previous Serious classification of the 2008 NAAQS for the Northern
New Jersey nonattainment area. On March 31, 2023, New Jersey submitted
a technical correction to the EPA regarding their 2017 SO2
point source inventory emissions by category. The technical correction
was necessary because the previously submitted emissions for
SO2 that were incorrect.
    The New Jersey emissions inventory SIP revision will ensure that
the requirements for emissions inventory measures and reporting are
adequately met. To comply with the emissions inventory requirements,
New Jersey submitted a complete inventory containing point, area, on-
road, and non-road mobile source data, anthropogenic sources, as well
as biogenic sources and wildfires and prescribed fires, in the
nonattainment areas and accompanying documentation.

III. Evaluation of State's Submittals

A. New Jersey 2017 Periodic Emission Inventory

    Based on the EPA's review, the 2017 periodic year emissions
inventory for New Jersey's ozone nonattainment areas, and the entire
State include essential data elements, source categories, sample
calculations, or report documentation to allow the EPA to adequately
determine if the inventory is accurate and complete. Consequently, New
Jersey's 2017 base year emissions inventory is consistent with the
ozone base year emission inventory reporting requirements based on EPA
guidance. New Jersey's 2017 base year inventory is consistent with the
ozone base year emission inventory reporting requirements for the
following reasons:
    1. Evidence that the inventory was quality assured by the State and
its implementation documented;
    2. The point source inventory must be complete;
    3. Point source emissions must have been prepared or calculated
according to current EPA guidance;
    4. The area source inventory must be complete;
    5. The area source emissions must have been prepared or calculated
according to current EPA guidance;
    6. Non-road mobile emissions must have been prepared according to
current EPA guidance for all of the source categories;
    7. The method (e.g., Highway Performance Monitoring System or a
network transportation planning model) used to develop the vehicle
miles travelled (VMT) estimates must follow EPA guidance (the VMT
development methods were described and documented in the inventory
report); and
    8. On-road mobile emissions were prepared according to the
guidance.
    Annual and ozone season day point, area, non-road, on-road,
biogenic, and wildfires and prescribed fires emissions are identified
in the inventory. Based on the EPA's review, New Jersey satisfies all
of the EPA's requirements for purposes of providing a comprehensive
accurate, and current inventory of actual emissions for the ozone
nonattainment. A summary of the EPA's review is given below:

    1. The Quality Assurance (QA) plan was implemented for all
portions of the inventory. The QA plan included a QA/Quality control
(QC) program for assessing data completeness and standard range
checking. Critical data elements relative to the inventory sources
were assessed for completeness. QA checks were performed relative to
data collection and analysis, and double counting of emissions from
point, area, and mobile sources. QA/QC checks were conducted to
ensure accuracy of units, unit conversions, transposition of
figures, and calculations. The inventory is well documented. New
Jersey provided documentation detailing the methods used to develop
emissions estimates for each category. In addition, New Jersey
identified the sources of data it used to develop the inventory;
    2. The point source emissions are complete in accordance with
EPA guidance;
    3. The point source emissions were prepared and calculated in
accordance with EPA guidance;

    4. The area source emissions are complete in accordance with EPA
guidance;
    5. Area source emissions were prepared and calculated in
accordance with EPA guidance;
    6. Emission estimates for the non-road mobile source categories
are correctly based on the latest non-road mobile model or other
appropriate guidance and prepared in accordance with EPA guidance;
    7. The method used to develop VMT estimates is in accordance
with EPA guidance and was adequately described and documented in the
inventory report; and
    8. The latest Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES2014b)
model was used in accordance with EPA guidance.

    New Jersey's 2017 ozone emission inventory has been developed in
accordance with EPA guidance. Therefore, the EPA is proposing to
approve the emission inventory. Detailed emission inventory development
procedures can be found in the following document: Emission Inventory
Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and Particulate Matter NAAQS and
Regional Haze Regulation, dated July 2017; Using MOVES to Prepare
Emission Inventories in State Implementation Plans and Transportation
Conformity: Technical Guidance for MOVES2014, 2014b, first released in
August 2018.
    Table 1 below shows the statewide summary of the 2017 Annual
emissions for VOC, NOX and CO. Tables 2 and 3 below show the
2017 CO, NOX, and VOC annual emission by category for the
ozone nonattainment areas. Table 4 below shows the summary emission by
category, in tons per ozone season day.

B. New Jersey Nonattainment 2011 Revision Emission Inventory

    On June 11, 2015, New Jersey submitted the 2011 ozone emissions
inventory for the Northern New Jersey and Southern New Jersey ozone
nonattainment areas and the 2011 emissions inventory for the
PM2.5/Regional Haze areas and requested that EPA approve the
emissions inventory SIP revision. EPA approved New Jersey's 2011
emission inventory. (See 82 FR 44099, September 6, 2017). Due to the
reclassification of the Northern New Jersey and Southern New Jersey
ozone nonattainment areas to serious nonattainment for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS, New Jersey made revisions to the 2011 emission inventory. New
Jersey affirmed in its November 23, 2021, submission that it is meeting
the 2008 ozone NAAQS emission inventory requirements pursuant to CAA
sections 182(a)(3)(A) and 182(c). The emission inventory requirement is
addressed through the submission of the 2011 baseline emission
inventory. Minor updates were made to the 2011 base year emissions
inventory which included essential data elements, source categories,
sample calculations, or report documentation according to the EPA
guidance to allow the EPA to adequately determine if the inventory is
accurate and complete. Consequently, New Jersey's 2011 base year
emissions inventory was consistent with the ozone base year emission
inventory reporting requirements based on EPA guidance.

IV. Proposed Action

    The New Jersey 2017 emission inventory SIP revision will ensure
that the requirements for emission inventory measures and reporting are
adequately met. To comply with the emission inventory requirements, on
November 23, 2021, New Jersey submitted the complete inventory
containing point, area, on-road, non-road mobile, biogenic, and
wildfires and prescribed fires source data, and accompanying
documentation.
    The EPA is proposing to approve New Jersey's 2017 and revised 2011
emission inventories SIP revision submittal as meeting the essential
reporting requirements for emission inventories.
    The EPA has also determined that the SIP revision meets the
requirements for emission inventories in accordance with EPA guidance.
Therefore, EPA is proposing to approve the revision to the New Jersey
SIP that pertains to the 2017 calendar year summer season daily and
annual ozone precursor emission inventories for VOC, NOx and
CO for the New Jersey portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long
Island NY-NJ-CT, and the Southern New Jersey-Philadelphia-Delaware-
Maryland nonattainment areas.
    In addition, the EPA is proposing to approve the 2017 calendar year
PM2.5/Regional Haze emissions inventory that was developed
statewide for New Jersey. The pollutants included in the inventory are
annual emissions for VOC, NOx, PM2.5,
PM10, NH3 and SO2.

    Additionally, the EPA is proposing to approve New Jersey's
certification that it has met the requirements for nonattainment
emission inventory and fully meets the requirements of the Act for the
2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
    Interested parties may participate in the Federal rulemaking
procedure by submitting written comments to the EPA Region 2 Office by
the method discussed in the ADDRESSES section of this action.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Act, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the Act. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because this action does not involve technical standards;
    In addition, the SIP is not proposing to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rulemaking does not have tribal implications and it
will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000).
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that
``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
    The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection did not
evaluate environmental justice considerations as part of its SIP
submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing regulations neither
prohibit nor require such an evaluation. EPA did not perform an EJ
analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Due to the nature of
the action being taken here, this action is expected to have a neutral
to positive impact on the air quality of the affected area.
Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this action, and there
is no information in the record inconsistent with the stated goal of
E.O. 12898 of achieving environmental justice for people of color, low-
income populations, and Indigenous peoples.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0462; Directorate Identifier 2014-NE-06-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Corporation Turboprop and
Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Rolls-Royce Corporation (RRC) AE 2100 series turboprop engines
and AE 3007A and 3007C series turbofan engines. This proposed AD was
prompted by reports of pitting in the wheel bores and subsequent RRC
analysis that concluded that lower life limits are needed for the
affected turbine wheels. This proposed AD would reduce the approved
life limits of the affected turbine wheels. This proposed AD would also
require an eddy current inspection (ECI) of certain RRC engines with
affected turbine wheels. We are proposing this AD to prevent
uncontained failure of the turbine wheels, damage to the engine, and
damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 1,
2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    Inspections during the manufacturing process revealed higher than
normal pitting in the bore of certain turbine wheels due to a
permanganate cleaning process. Analysis and subsequent testing by RRC
of these affected turbine wheels indicated that these wheels, because
of the potential for pitting in the wheel bores, could not be operated
safely up to their published life limits. For RRC AE 2100 series
turboprop engines, the affected turbine wheels are identified as 1st
stage gas generator turbine wheels and as 4th stage turbine wheels. For
the RRC AE 3007A and 3007C series turbofan engines, the affected
turbine wheels are identified as high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 1
and stage 2 wheels. Operation of the affected wheels above the new
lower limits represents an unsafe condition.
    We are also proposing an ECI for certain RRC AE 3007A engines with
affected turbine wheels because our risk analysis shows that these
engines are operated in a more stringent environment and therefore
require periodic inspections to ensure these engines are operated
safely.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in uncontained
failure of the turbine wheels, damage to the engine, and damage to the
airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed RRC Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. AE 2100D2-A-72-
085, dated July 25, 2013; RRC ASB No. AE 2100D3-A-72-277, dated July
25, 2013; RRC ASB No. AE 2100P-A-72-019, dated July 25, 2013; RRC ASB
No. AE 3007A-A-72-407, Revision 1, dated August 29, 2014; RRC ASB No.
AE 3007A-A-72-408, Revision 1, dated August 29, 2014; and RRC ASB No.
AE 3007C-A-72-316, dated December 6, 2013. RRC ASB No. AE 3007A-A-72-
408 provides instructions on performing an ECI of affected HPT stage 2
wheels. The other RRC ASBs list the lower approved life limits of the
affected turbine wheels.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing 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.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require an ECI of certain RRC engines with
affected turbine wheels, and reduce the life limits of the affected
turbine wheels.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 664 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would
take about 1 hour to perform an ECI in the bore of the turbine wheel
for affected engines. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. We
estimate the pro-rated replacement cost would be $30,688 for a 1st
stage gas generator turbine wheel; $63,693 for an HPT stage 1 wheel;
$13,941 for an HPT stage 2 wheel; and $13,186 for a 4th stage turbine
wheel. We also estimate that these parts would be replaced during an
engine shop visit at no additional labor cost. Based on these figures,
we estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be
$11,317,969.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the 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.
