Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2019-21-11 and AD 2020-07-02. AD 2019-21-11 applies to all Pratt &
Whitney (PW) PW1519G, PW1521G, PW1521G-3, PW1521GA, PW1524G, PW1524G-3,
PW1525G, PW1525G-3, PW1919G, PW1921G, PW1922G, PW1923G, and PW1923G-A
model turbofan engines. AD 2020-07-02 applies to all PW PW1519G,
PW1521G, PW1521G-3, PW1521GA, PW1524G, PW1524G-3, PW1525G, and PW1525G-
3 model turbofan engines. AD 2019-21-11 requires initial and repetitive
borescope inspections (BSIs) of the low-pressure compressor (LPC) rotor
1 (R1) and, depending on the results of the inspections, replacement of
the LPC. AD 2020-07-02 requires the removal from service of certain
electronic engine control (EEC) full authority digital electronic
control (FADEC) software and the installation of a software version
eligible for installation. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-21-11 and AD
2020-07-02, the manufacturer developed a new version of EEC FADEC
software, which terminates the need for repetitive BSIs of the LPC R1.
This proposed AD would continue to require repetitive BSIs of certain
LPC R1s until replacement of EEC FADEC software with the updated
software. This proposed AD would require a BSI after installation of
the updated EEC FADEC software if certain Onboard Maintenance Message
fault codes are displayed and meet specified criteria. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 10,
2021.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2019-21-11, Amendment 39-19777 (84 FR 57813,
October 29, 2019), (AD 2019-21-11) for certain PW PW1519G, PW1521G,
PW1521GA, PW1524G, PW1525G, PW1521G-3, PW1524G-3, PW1525G-3, PW1919G,
PW1921G, PW1922G, PW1923G, and PW1923G-A model turbofan engines. AD
2019-21-11 was prompted by an in-flight failure and additional findings
of cracks in the LPC R1. AD 2019-21-11 requires initial and repetitive
BSI of the LPC R1 and, depending on the results of the BSIs,
replacement of the LPC. The agency issued AD 2019-21-11 to prevent
failure of the LPC R1.
    The FAA issued AD 2020-07-02, Amendment 39-21106 (85 FR 17742,
March 31, 2020), (AD 2020-07-02), for all PW PW1519G, PW1521G, PW1521G-
3, PW1521GA, PW1524G, PW1524G33, PW1525G, and PW1525G33 model turbofan
engines. AD 2020-07-02 was prompted by reports of four in-flight
shutdowns due to failure of the LPC R1 and by subsequent findings of
cracked LPC R1s during inspections. AD 2020-07-02 requires the removal
from service of certain EEC FADEC software and the installation of a
software version eligible for installation. The agency issued AD 2020-
07-02 to prevent failure of the LPC R1.

Actions Since AD 2019-21-11 and AD 2020-07-02 Were Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2019-21-11 and AD 2020-07-02, the
manufacturer performed further root cause analysis of the LPC R1
failures and determined the need to update the EEC FADEC software to
automate rotor speed management and limit the maximum climb and maximum
continuous thrust ratings.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 2019-21-11
and none of the requirements of AD 2020-07-02. This proposed AD would
continue to require a BSI of certain LPC R1s for damage and cracks and,
depending on the results of the BSI, replacement of the LPC R1. This
proposed AD would continue to require repetitive BSIs of certain LPC
R1s until replacement of the EEC FADEC software with the updated
software. This proposed AD would also require a BSI of the LPC R1 after
installation of the updated EEC FADEC software if certain Onboard
Maintenance Message fault codes are displayed and meet specified
criteria.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers that this proposed AD would be an interim action.
If final corrective action is later identified, the FAA might consider
additional rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 94 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

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

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected individuals.

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 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 that the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Memorandum From: Larry Turner, Ph. D. Environmental Field Branch Field and External Affairs Division Thru: Arty Williams, Chief Environmental Field Branch Field and External Affairs Division To: Christina Scheltema Reregistration Branch III Special Review and Registration Division Subject: Puerto Rican Plain Pigeon and Disulfoton In our files and databases, the Puerto Rican Plain Pigeon is indicated to occur in several municipalities in Puerto Rico where coffee is grown. The municipality of Utuado had thousands of acres of coffee. When we initially contacted the Fish and Wildlife Service in Puerto Rico, it was indicated to us that the pigeon did occur in Utuado and several other municipalities where smaller amounts of coffee are grown. However, in an April 18, 2002 phone conversation with Marelisa Rivera, endangered species specialist with the Puerto Rico office of the Fish and Wildlife Service, we were informed that our information was old. The pigeon no longer occurs in coffee growing areas. With no exposure, there will be no effect. Therefore, there is no need to provide special protection for this species from disulfoton.

According to Ms. Rivera, the Puerto Rican sharp shinned hawk, Puerto Rican broad winged hawk, and the Puerto Rican boa are the only listed animals that occur in coffee. These three species all feed on bats, mice, and birds. Since there are data indicating a lack of secondary hazards for disulfoton, there will be no effect on these species from disulfoton.

[Docket No. FAA-2011-1063; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-080-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 767-200 and -
300 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Model 767-200 and 767-300 series airplanes. This proposed AD
would require installing cargo bulkhead supports, ceiling supports,
secondary dam support, drainage tubing, and ceiling panels to the
forward lower lobe in the forward cargo compartment. This proposed AD
was prompted by reports of water accumulation in the forward lower lobe
of the forward cargo compartment. We are proposing this AD to prevent
water from accumulating in the forward lower lobe of the forward cargo
compartment and entering the adjacent electronic equipment bay, which
could result in an electrical short and the potential loss of several
functions essential for safe flight.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 25,
2011.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2011-1063;
Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-080-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any

personal information you provide. We will also post a report
summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this
proposed AD.

Discussion

    We received reports of high levels of water accumulation in the
forward lower lobe of the forward cargo compartment and the potential
for water to enter into the electronic equipment bay adjacent to it.
Water coming through the floor panels can accumulate up to 12 gallons
at this location and typical aircraft movement may not remove all the
water. This condition, if not corrected, could result in water
accumulating in the forward lower lobe of the forward cargo compartment
and entering the adjacent electronic equipment bay, which could result
in an electrical short and the potential loss of several functions
essential for safe flight.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-25A0505, Original
Issue, dated January 14, 2011. The service information describes
procedures for the installing cargo bulkhead supports, right-side
ceiling supports, left-side ceiling supports, secondary dam support,
drainage tubing, and ceiling panels in the forward lobe of the forward
cargo compartment.

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 these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1 airplane of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Action                          Labor cost                   Parts cost                Cost per product         Cost on U.S.  operators
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation........................  16 work-hours x $85 per      Up to $27,077..............  Up to $28,437..............  Up to $28,437.
                                       hour = $1,360 per
                                       installation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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, 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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Boeing Model 747-100, -100B, -100B SUD, -200B, -200C, -200F, -300,

45/50 and Pratt & Whitney (P&W) JT9D-70, JT9D-3, or JT9D-7 series
engines. This AD requires repetitive inspections to find cracks and
broken fasteners of the rear engine mount bulkhead of the inboard and
outboard nacelle struts, and repair if necessary. For certain
airplanes, this AD mandates a terminating modification for certain
inspections of the inboard and outboard nacelle struts. This AD results
from reports of web and frame cracks and sheared attachment fasteners
on the inboard and outboard nacelle struts. We are issuing this AD to
detect and correct cracks and broken fasteners of the inboard and
outboard nacelle struts, which could result in possible loss of the
rear engine mount bulkhead load path and consequent separation of the
engine from the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective April 8, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 8,
2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
certain Boeing Model 747-100, -100B, -100B SUD, -200B, -200C, -200F, -
300, 747SP, and 747SR series airplanes powered by General Electric (GE)
CF6-45/50 and Pratt & Whitney (P&W) JT9D-70, JT9D-3, or JT9D-7 series
engines. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on November
19, 2007 (72 FR 64961). That NPRM proposed to require repetitive
inspections to find cracks and broken fasteners of the rear engine
mount bulkhead of the inboard and outboard nacelle struts, and repair
if necessary. For certain airplanes, that NPRM proposed to mandate a
terminating modification for certain inspections of the inboard and
outboard nacelle struts.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received. Boeing supports the NPRM.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 460 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. This AD affects about 135 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    It takes about 4 work hours per airplane to accomplish the required
detailed inspection, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour.
Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the required inspection
is $43,200, or $320 per airplane, per inspection cycle.
    It takes about 32 work hours per airplane to accomplish the
required high frequency eddy current inspection, at an average labor
rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost
of the required high frequency eddy current inspection is $345,600, or
$2,560 per airplane, per inspection cycle.
    For Groups 1, 2, and 5 airplanes, it takes between approximately 10
and 95 work hours per strut (four struts per airplane) to accomplish
the required modification, depending on airplane configuration, at an
average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Parts cost for the

fasteners is between $269 and $897 per strut. Based on these figures,
the cost impact of the required modification is between $4,276 and
$33,988 per airplane. We are unable to provide specific information as
to the cost of the actual parts other than the fasteners that are
required to accomplish the required modification since the parts will
be supplied from operator stock.

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

    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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory
Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.
