Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG
(Type Certificate Previously Held by Rolls-Royce plc) Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-13-07
for all Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Trent 1000-D2, Trent
1000-J2, and Trent 1000-K2 model turbofan engines with a certain part-
numbered fuel pump installed. AD 2020-13-07 required removal and
replacement of the fuel pump with a part eligible for installation.
This AD was prompted by the manufacturer's investigation into an
unexpected reduction in fuel pump performance in certain high life fuel
pumps and subsequent determination that an additional part-numbered
fuel pump is subject to the same unsafe condition. This AD requires new
and reduced life limits for certain part-numbered fuel pumps, depending
on the engine model the fuel pump is installed on. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective October 13, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of October 13,
2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2020-13-07, Amendment 39-21152 (85 FR
38312, June 26, 2020), (AD 2020-13-07). AD 2020-13-07 applied to all
RRD Trent 1000-D2, Trent 1000-J2, and Trent 1000-K2 model turbofan
engines with fuel pump, part number G5030FPU01, installed. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on March 30, 2021 (86 FR 16548). The
NPRM was prompted by the manufacturer's investigation into an
unexpected reduction in fuel pump performance in certain high life fuel
pumps and life-related wear-out of the internal components and
subsequent determination that an additional part-numbered fuel pump is
subject to this same unsafe condition. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to
retain all the requirements of AD 2020-13-07. In the NPRM, the FAA also
proposed to add an additional part-numbered fuel pump and additional
Trent 1000 model turbofan engines on which this fuel pump is installed
to the applicability. In the NPRM, the FAA also proposed to require new
and reduced life limits for certain part-numbered fuel pumps,

depending on the engine model the fuel pump is installed on. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has
issued EASA AD 2021-0006, dated January 7, 2021 (referred to after this
as ``the MCAI''), to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The MCAI states:

    An unexpected reduction in fuel pump performance has been seen
during testing of high life units. Strip examination of these fuel
pumps has identified that life related wear-out of the internal
components is causing deterioration in pump efficiency. The effect
of the loss of fuel pump efficiency is more pronounced on higher
rated engines.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to reduced engine
thrust, possibly resulting in reduced control of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Rolls-Royce
published NMSB 73-AK581 (original issue) to provide instructions for
replacement of the affected parts before exceeding reduced life
limits. Consequently, EASA issued AD 2020-0124 to require the
removal from service of the affected parts.
    After that [EASA] AD was issued, Rolls-Royce issued NMSB 73-
AK581 Revision 1, introducing an additional fuel pump, P/N TPS1000-
05, as well as new and reduced life limits for the affected parts,
depending on engine model (rating). Consequently, EASA issued AD
2020-0154, retaining the requirements of EASA AD 2020-0124, which
was superseded, expanding the Applicability to include additional
engine models (ratings) and requiring implementation of the new and
reduced life limits.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, Rolls-Royce issued the NMSB, as
defined in this [EASA] AD, introducing new and reduced life limits
for the affected parts, depending on engine model (rating).
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2020-0154, which is superseded, and requires
implementation of the new and reduced life limits, as applicable.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket on https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2021-0198.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from two commenters. The commenters were
The Boeing Company (Boeing) and Rolls-Royce. The following presents the
comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Update Service Bulletin

    Boeing and Rolls-Royce requested that the FAA update the specified
service information by referencing Revision 3 of Rolls-Royce (RR) Alert
Non-Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) TRENT 1000-73-AK581.
    The FAA agrees and has updated this AD to reference RR Alert NMSB
TRENT 1000-73-AK581, Revision 3, dated April 7, 2021. This change to
this AD imposes no additional burden on operators.

Conclusion

    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 and any
other changes described previously, this AD is adopted as proposed in
the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any
operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed RR Alert NMSB TRENT 1000-73-AK581, Revision 3,
dated April 7, 2021 (RR Alert NMSB). The RR Alert NMSB introduces a
reduced life limit for affected fuel pumps installed on certain RRD
Trent 1000 model turbofan engines. The RR Alert NMSB also includes
additional RRD Trent 1000 turbofan engine models that require
implementation of the reduced life limits for affected fuel pumps. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD interim action. If final action is later
identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 28 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
               Action                        Labor cost           Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace fuel pump...................  3 work-hours x $85 per         $393,552         $393,807      $11,026,596
                                       hour = $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this 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 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.

Public Notice for Waiver for Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance at
Tulsa International Airport, Tulsa, OK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent for waiver of aeronautical land-use.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to
nonaeronautical use and to authorize the conversion of the airport
property. The proposal consists of two parcels of land containing a
total of approximately 120.46 acres located to the northeast and
southeast of the intersection of East 36th Street North and North Mingo
Road.
    These parcels were originally acquired under the following grants:
Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP) No. 6-40-0099-15 in 1978;
Federal Aid to Airports Program (FAAP) Nos. 9-34-032-C312 in 1962 and
9-34-032-C514 in 1964; portions of these parcels were acquired with
non-grant funds. The land comprising these parcels is outside the
forecasted need for aviation development and, thus, is no longer needed
for indirect or direct aeronautical use. In addition, these parcels
have no access to the airfield. The Airport wishes to develop this land
for compatible commercial, nonaeronautical use. The income from the
conversion of these parcels will benefit the aviation community by
reinvestment in the airport.
    Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially
assist in the conversion of the subject airport property nor a
determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The
disposition of proceeds from the conversion of the airport property
will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the
Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February
16, 1999. In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United
States Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal
Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires
the property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 13, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this document to Mr. Edward N. Agnew,
Federal Aviation Administration, Arkansas/Oklahoma Airports Development
Office Manager, 2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, TX 76137.

airways V-68, V-76, V-194, and V-548 in the vicinity of Houston, TX.
The FAA is taking this action to correct the airway descriptions
contained in Part 71 to ensure they match the information contained in
the FAA's aeronautical database and depicted on the associated
aeronautical charts.

DATES: Effective date April 3, 2013. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR
part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    In 1999, the geographic coordinates reference used to describe the
Hobby VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigation aid
location changed and was updated in the FAA aeronautical database.
However, the associated rulemaking action to amend the Hobby VOR/DME
radial listed in the V-68, V-76, V-194, and V-548 descriptions for
describing the airway segment between Hobby VOR/DME and Industry VOR
Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) (V-68 and V-76), and between Hobby
VOR/DME and College Station VORTAC (V-194 and V-548) was not
accomplished. As a result, the current V-68, V-76, V-194, and V-548
descriptions do not match the airway information contained in the FAA's
aeronautical database or the charted depiction of the airways on the
aeronautical charts. The aeronautical database and associated charts
depict the correct Hobby VOR/DME radial for V-68, V-76, V-194, and V-
548. To overcome the conflicting airway description information
published in FAA Order 7400.9W (77 FR 50907, August 23, 2012), the FAA
is amending the V-68, V-76, V-194, and V-548 descriptions to reflect
the correct Hobby VOR/DME radial and match the information contained in
the aeronautical database and associated charts.
    Accordingly, since this is an administrative change to update the
airway's description information to match the information currently
contained in the FAA's aeronautical database and published on the
associated aeronautical charts, notice and public procedures under
Title 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

The Rule

    The FAA amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part
71 by amending the descriptions of VOR Federal airways V-68, V-76, V-
194, and V-548 in the vicinity of Houston, TX. Specifically, the FAA
amends V-68 and V-76 to reflect the Hobby VOR/DME 289[deg] radial to
define the intersection on the airway segment between the Hobby VOR/DME
and the Industry VORTAC, and amends V-194 and V-548 to reflect the
Hobby VOR/DME 289[deg] radial to define the intersection on the airway
segment between the Hobby VOR/DME and the College Station VORTAC.
Correcting the airway descriptions to reflect the correct Hobby VOR/DME
radial ensures the descriptions match the information contained in the
FAA's aeronautical database and depicted on the associated charts.
    VOR Federal airways are listed in paragraph 6010 of FAA Order
7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airways
listed in this document will be revised subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it is

certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends existing VOR Federal airways in the NAS.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with 311a, FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures.'' This airspace action is not expected to cause any
potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment.

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

Adoption of the Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B, AS350BA, AS350B1, AS350B2,
AS350B3, AS350D; and Model AS355E, AS355F, AS355F1, AS355F2, AS355N,
AS355NP helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by reports that the
lanyards (bead chain tethers), which hold the quick release pins to the
forward bracket assembly of certain litter kits, can loop around the
directional control pedal stubs, limiting the movement of the pedals.
This proposed AD would require modification of the lanyard attachment
location for certain litter kit installations. The FAA is proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Background

    Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued Canadian AD CF-2017-37, dated December 19, 2017 (Canadian AD CF-
2017-37), to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters Model
AS 350 B, AS 350 BA, AS 350 B1, AS 350 B2, AS 350 B3, AS 350 D, AS 355
E, AS 355 F, AS 355 F1, AS 355 F2, AS 355 N, and AS 355 NP helicopters.
Transport Canada advises that there have been reports that the
lanyards, which hold the quick release pins to the forward bracket
assembly of certain litter kits, can loop around the directional
control pedal stubs, limiting the movement of the pedals, which affects
the control of the flight. If this condition exists and is not
corrected during installation, this limitation may not be apparent
until the pedal input is required in flight. This

condition, if not addressed, could result in difficulty controlling the
helicopter.
    Accordingly, Canadian AD CF-2017-37 requires modification of the
lanyard attachment location for certain litter kit installations.
Canadian AD CF-2017-37 also specifies that installation of an affected
part number litter kit is prohibited unless the installation conforms
to the requirements of Airbus Helicopters Service Bulletin SB-AHCA-128,
Revision 0, dated March 24, 2017.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Canada and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with Canada, Transport Canada, its
technical representative, has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition
described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD after evaluating all
known relevant information and determining that the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters
of these same type designs.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Service Bulletin SB-AHCA-128,
Revision 0, dated March 24, 2017. This service information specifies
procedures for modifying the bead chain tether attachment locations for
litter kits with certain part numbers. The modification includes
relocating the bead chain tethers by removing the screws and washers
for the pip pins on the forward bracket assembly; filling the empty
holes with rivets; determining the new locations of and drilling new
holes; and securing the bead chain tethers on the top side of the
forward bracket assembly in the new hole locations.
    This service information 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.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described, except as discussed under
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Transport Canada AD.''

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Transport Canada AD

    This proposed AD would require a pre-flight check prior to each
flight to determine if there is interference between the lanyards that
hold the quick release pins to the forward bracket assembly of the
litter kit and the flight controls. This pre-flight check requirement
would be terminated upon completion of the modification of the litter
kit installation. Canadian AD CF-2017-37 does not include a requirement
for the pre-flight check prior to each flight to determine if there is
interference between the lanyards and the flight controls.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 967 helicopters of U.S. Registry. The FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this proposed AD.

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, I certify this 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.

TO:			Record

FROM:		Kelly Meadows, Tetra Tech

DATE: 		March 19, 2008

SUBJECT:		Brooklyn Navy Yard teleconference notes

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in the process of revising
its 2004 316(b) Phase II regulation.  As part of this process, EPA staff
is visiting several electric generators to better understand the cooling
water intake structure (CWIS) technologies in use at typical facilities,
including the site-specific characteristics of each facility and how
these affect the selection and performance of CWIS technologies.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration (Brooklyn) facility was identified
as a site of interest due to its use of fine mesh wedgewire screens.
Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, EPA is unable to visit the
facility.  However, Tetra Tech staff was able to speak to facility
representatives about the performance of their CWIS technology on March
11, 2008.  A summary of the discussion is presented below.

Facility Information

Brooklyn is located in New York City in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard
and began operations in 1996.  It withdraws from the East River.

CWIS Information

Brooklyn employs 4 fine mesh wedgewire screens that have a mesh slot
size of 2 mm.  Each screen is 6 feet in diameter and 15 feet long and
was thought to be the largest fine mesh screens in the United States at
the time of construction.  The design intake flow (DIF) for each screen
is 17,300 gpm (24.9 million gallons per day [MGD]) for a total DIF of
99.6 MGD.  Through flow limitations in its NPDES permit conditions, the
facility is only permitted to withdraw 72 MGD in the summer and 55 MGD
in other seasons.

Operational Information

Facility representatives stated that the screens require significant
maintenance and that, given the opportunity, the facility would use a
different intake technology in designing the CWIS.  The East River has a
significant tidal surge, which, when combined with vessel traffic, leads
to a large volume of trash bypassing the trash rack and clogging the
screens.  Additionally, the water quality in the river has improved
substantially in the last 10-15 years (a facility upriver adds a
significant amount of dissolved oxygen), which has led to an increase in
biofouling organisms.  The facility performs a monthly cleaning by
divers to remove seagrasses and other organisms.  The facility also uses
biocides four times per year.  Facility representatives estimated that
at least $50,000 is spent each year in maintenance for the screens.

Biological Information

The facility conducted an entrainment monitoring study in 1997 following
plant startup.  Its NPDES permit is currently being renewed and the
facility expects that another entrainment study will be required.
Facility representatives noted that the resurgence of the wildlife in
the river makes the interpretation of any monitoring results difficult,
as the number of organisms in the ambient waters increases annually.

As part of the significance test, we look at linkages between upwind states and downwind nonattainment areas. If a linkage is determined potentially significant based on the screening level test, we perform a zero out and source apportionment test to determine the significance of the upwind contribution. Below I have listed the linkages that were determined potentially significant based on the screening level test but then found not significant based on the other tests.

Listed as upwind state ( downwind nonattainment area): West Virginia ( Middlesex, CT) Maryland ( Middlesex, CT) West Virginia ( Washington, DC) Virginia ( Fulton, GA) Michigan ( Harford, MD) Massachusetts ( Suffolk, NY) New York ( Chester, PA) New York ( Montgomery, PA) West Virginia ( Arlington, VA)

Please note, however, that each of these upwind states are included in the ozone part of CAIR due to the significance of other linkages. Also note that based on our modeling a significant number of linkages ( about 50) that failed the screen would have passed the zero out and source apportionment test had those tests been performed for those linkages but no additional states would be included. Marcus said that he will be calling you later this afternoon to follow up on this information.

Respectfully, Jason  Jason K. Burnett ( Office) 202.564.2028 ( Fax) 202.501.0986 ( Cell) 202.468.5344 burnett. jason@ epa. gov
