14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-7491; Directorate Identifier 2015-NE-39-AD;
Amendment 39-18569; AD 2016-13-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
General Electric Company (GE) GE90-76B, GE90-77B, GE90-85B, GE90-90B,
and GE90-94B turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by an uncontained
failure of the high-pressure compressor (HPC) stage 8-10 spool, leading
to an airplane fire. This AD requires eddy current inspection (ECI) or
ultrasonic inspection (USI) of the HPC stage 8-10 spool and removing
from service those parts that fail inspection. We are issuing this AD
to prevent failure of the HPC stage 8-10 spool, uncontained rotor
release, damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective July 29, 2016.

ADDRESSES: See the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all GE GE90-76B, GE90-77B,
GE90-85B, GE90-90B, and GE90-94B turbofan engines. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on January 13, 2016 (81 FR 1582). The NPRM was
prompted by an uncontained failure of the HPC stage 8-10 spool, leading
to an airplane fire. The NPRM proposed to require ECIs or USIs of the
HPC stage 8-10 spool and removing from service those parts that fail
inspection. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HPC stage
8-10 spool, uncontained rotor release, damage to the engine, and damage
to the airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM (81
FR 1582, January 13, 2016) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the NPRM (81 FR 1582, January 13, 2016)

    The Air Line Pilots Association expressed support for the NPRM (81
FR 1582, January 13, 2016).

Request To Change Applicability

    British Airways, United Airlines, and The Boeing Company commented
that HPC stage 8-10 spool, part numbers (P/Ns) 1844M90G01 and
1844M90G02 are not required in the Applicability paragraph of this AD.
They noted that the associated AD 2015-27-01, (81 FR 1291, January 12,
2016) and the precipitating event involved only HPC stage 8-10 spool,
P/N 1694M80G04.
    We disagree. HPC stage 8-10 spool P/Ns 1844M90G01 and 1844M90G02
are susceptible to the same failure mode as HPC stage 8-10 spool, P/N
1694M80G04. However, we

acknowledge that the one-time inspection is not needed for the majority
of HPC stage 8-10 spool P/Ns 1844M90G01 and 1844M90G02. Therefore, we
revised paragraph (e)(1) of this AD to apply to only specific serial
numbers (S/Ns) of P/Ns 1844M90G01 and 1844M90G02 for the one-time
inspection.

Request To Change Compliance Time

    British Airways requested that we clarify if a repetitive on-wing
inspection is required. They reasoned that the service information
lists the on-wing inspection as one time only.
    We disagree. Paragraph (e)(1) of this AD mandates that specific
parts be inspected prior to a cycle limit. This initial inspection may
be performed on wing using USI or at shop visit using ECI. Repetitive
inspections prior to shop visit are not mandated, however we
acknowledge that GE has commented that they should be performed. We did
not change this AD.

Request To Change Terminating Action

    GE requested that we remove the repetitive shop visit inspection
from the Compliance section of this AD and instead mandate that the
airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the engine manual include
the repetitive inspections. They also requested that the Summary
section and Related Information section of this AD be revised to
reflect this change. They reasoned that this will allow a terminating
action for this AD.
    We disagree. At this time we do not feel that a change to the ALS
is appropriate as root cause has not been determined. We did not change
this AD.

Request To Change Installation Prohibition

    GE requested that we clarify that the installation prohibition does
not apply to new parts. They stated that new parts do not need to be
inspected prior to installation. The inspections are only applicable to
parts that have been used in service.
    We agree. We revised paragraph (f) of this AD to specify that
inspections are only required for parts that have been used in service.

Request To Change Service Information

    GE and British Airways requested that we revise the Related Service
Information paragraph of this AD to remove the reference to Engine
Manual, Chapter 72-00-31, Special Procedure 007 and add a reference to
GE GE90 SB 72-1146. They reasoned that the Special Procedure is
considered an additional inspection technique and the other inspection
procedures listed provide full detection capability of defects in the
area of concern.
    We disagree. The service information is not incorporated by
reference in this AD and was previously included for information
purposes only. However, to preclude any confusion on this point, we
removed all service information from the Related Information section of
this AD.

Request To Change Applicability

    GE requested that we reduce the applicability for the initial
inspection. GE has determined that an older manufacturing process may
be a contributor to part failure and that all parts manufactured using
this process should be inspected prior to shop visit.
    We agree. We revised the applicability of the initial inspection to
include all HPC stage 8-10 spool, P/N 1694M80G04, and specific S/Ns of
HPC stage 8-10 spool, P/Ns 1844M90G01 and 1844M90G02, that were
manufactured using the older process.

Request To Change Compliance Time

    GE has requested that the initial USI compliance time be reduced
and to add repetitive inspections every 500 cycles until shop visit ECI
for the parts manufactured using the older manufacturing process noted
above. GE has determined that the smallest detectable flaw using USI
with the compressor blades installed is larger than what was used in
the prior analysis.
    We partially agree. We agree that the USI inspection is not as
capable as what was used in the prior analysis. We also agree that a
reduced threshold for initial inspection is appropriate. So, we reduced
the initial inspection threshold in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD from
10,500 cycles to 9,000 cycles and removed USI as an option for the
inspections in paragraph (e)(2) of this AD. We disagree with including
the 500 cycle repetitive inspections; however, repetitive inspections
would be a consideration for additional rulemaking.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously. We have determined that
these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (81 FR 1582, January 13, 2016) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 1582, January 13, 2016).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Interim Action

    GE is determining the root cause for the unsafe condition
identified in this AD. Once a root cause is identified, we will
consider additional rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 54 engines installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about 7 hours per
engine to comply with this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour.
We estimate one part will fail inspection at a cost of $780,000. Based
on these figures, we estimate the total cost of this AD to U.S.
operators to be $812,130.

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),
    (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.

To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA has assessed the risks of asulam and reached a Tolerance Reassessment Eligibility Decision ( TRED) for this pesticide. Since no risk mitigation measures were adopted, asulam fits into its own risk cup its individual, aggregate risks are within acceptable levels. The RED for asulam was completed in 1995. At that time, the Agency assessed the risk for dietary, worker, and ecological concerns. With the passage of FQPA, the tolerances for asulam needed to be reassessed according to the FQPA safety standard. In this current assessment, the Agency looked at only dietary concerns from food and drinking water. Asulam is a selective postemergent systemic carbamate herbicide registered for sugarcane, christmas tree plantations, ornamentals, turf ( use for sod farms only) and non cropland uses ( boundary fences, fencerows, hedgerows, lumberyards, storage areas and industrial facilities, and warehouse lots). There are no residential uses for asulam products. Dietary risks for asulam are below the Agency's level of concern for the general U. S. population and all population subgroups. Drinking water risks are also below EPA's level of concern, therefore the Agency is not concerned with potential exposure to asulam through surface water and ground water. The tolerance reassessment program is being conducted under Congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes both the need to make timely decisions and to involve the public. Therefore, EPA is issuing this TRED as a final document with a 60   day comment period. Although the 60   day public comment period does not affect the registrant's response due date, it is intended to provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the TRED. If any comment significantly affects a TRED, EPA will amend the TRED by publishing the amendment in the Federal Register.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? The legal authority for this TRED falls under FIFRA, as amended in 1988 and 1996. Section 4( g)( 2)( A) of FIFRA directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, `` the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' before calling in product specific data on individual enduse products, and either reregistering VerDate Dec< 13> 2002 17: 08 Jan 14, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 15JAN1.

COETF Comments on EPA "Whole Industry Test Data" Spreadsheet and "Estimates and Assumptions" Document

Dear Dr. Jones,

In response to your email of August 26, 2020, attached please find responses on behalf of the Coke Oven Environmental Task Force (COETF) on the EPA "Whole Industry Test Data" spreadsheet and the "Estimates and Assumptions" document.

Please note that our input on the Whole Industry Test Data spreadsheet is summarized in the "Review Instructions" worksheet, with recommended corrections highlighted in yellow within the various referenced worksheets.  We have also added an additional worksheet, labeled ADL_BDL, which provides our recommended changes to HAP metal emission rates that have split (i.e., ADL and BDL) run flag designations.  As explained in Item #10 of our responses on the Estimates and Assumptions document, the COETF supports the adjustment of emission rates at the fraction level (i.e., assigning one-half the detection level to sample fractions labeled as below detection), instead of assuming that the BDL fraction is 100% of the detection limit.

With regard to Item #6 of the Estimates and Assumptions document, the COETF is recommending an alternate approach to estimating COG-fired boiler emissions.  This alternate method is based on the development of lb/mmscf COG emission factors, rather than the lb/hr values proposed by EPA.  Attachment II to the Estimates and Assumptions document contains a listing of all COG-fired boilers, including their rated capacities, 2015 COG usage, and estimated potential annual COG usage.

Please let me and Jeff Knight know if EPA has any questions regarding this submission.

listed in 33 CFR 165.T07-0289(a)(4) through (a)(5), on October 13, 2022
through October 20, 2022 for the SpaceX Commercial Crew-4 mission
(Crew-4), reentry vehicle splashdown, and the associated recovery
operations in the U.S. EEZ. These two safety zones are located within
the COTP St. Petersburg Area of Responsibility (AOR) offshore of Tampa
and Tallahassee, Florida. The COTP St. Petersburg is activating these
safety zones in order to protect vessels and waterway users from the
potential hazards created by reentry vehicle splashdowns and recovery
operations in our exclusive economic zone and implements a special
activities provision of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. In accordance with the
general regulations in 33 CFR part 165, subpart C, no U.S.-flagged
vessel may enter the safety zones unless authorized by the COTP St.
Petersburg or a designated representative except as provided in Sec.
165.T07-0289(d)(3). All foreign-flagged vessels are encouraged to
remain outside the safety zones.
    There are three other safety zones listed in Sec.  165.T07-
0289(a)(1) through (a)(3), which are located within the COTP
Jacksonville AOR, that are being simultaneously activated through a
separate notification of enforcement of the regulation document issued
under Docket Number USCG-2022-0805.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This notification of enforcement of the regulation can be
found at: https://regulations.gov by searching for docket number
USCG-2022-0805.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Twenty-four hours prior to the Crew-4 recovery operations scheduled
as early as October 13, 2022, the COTP Jacksonville or COTP St.
Petersburg, or designated representative will inform the public whether
any of the five safety zones described in Sec.  165.T07-0289, paragraph
(a), will remain activated (subject to enforcement). If one of the
safety zones described in Sec.  165.T07-0289, paragraph (a), remains
activated, it will be enforced for four hours prior to the Crew-4
splashdown and remain activated until announced by Broadcast Notice to
Mariners on VHF-FM channel 16, and/or Marine Safety Information
Bulletin (as appropriate) that the safety zone is no longer subject to
enforcement. After the Crew-4 reentry vehicle splashdown, the COTP or a
designated representative will grant general permission to come no
closer than 3 nautical miles of any reentry vehicle or space support
vessel engaged in the recovery operations, within the activated safety
zone described in Sec.  165.T07-0289, paragraph (a). Once the reentry
vehicle, and any personnel involved in reentry service, are removed
from the water and secured onboard a space support vessel, the COTP or
designated representative will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners on
VHF-FM channel 16 announcing the activated safety zone is no longer
subject to enforcement. The recovery

operations are expected to last approximately one hour.
    The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or local
law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.

    Dated: October 7, 2022.
