Airworthiness Directives; Embraer--Empresa Brasileira de
Aeronautica S.A. Model EMB-500 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the

products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    It has been detected a short circuit in harness W101 due to its
interference with the main door mechanism. Further analysis of the
affected region has also revealed the possibility of chafing between
the same harness and the oxygen tubing. The chafing of the wiring
harness against the oxygen tubing could lead to a short circuit of
the wiring harness and a subsequent fire in the airplane.
    Since this condition may occur in other airplanes of the same
type and affects flight safety, a corrective action is required.
Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance with this AD in
the indicated time limit.

The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 29,
2010.

Discussion

    The AG[Ecirc]NCIA NACIONAL DE AVIA[Ccedil][Atilde]O CIVIL--BRAZIL,
which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued AD No.: 2010-09-
02, dated October 17, 2010 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI
states:

    It has been detected a short circuit in harness W101 due to its
interference with the main door mechanism. Further analysis of the
affected region has also revealed the possibility of chafing between
the same harness and the oxygen tubing. The chafing of the wiring
harness against the oxygen tubing could lead to a short circuit of
the wiring harness and a subsequent fire in the airplane.
    Since this condition may occur in other airplanes of the same
type and affects flight safety, a corrective action is required.
Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance with this AD in
the indicated time limit.

The MCAI requires installing clamps to the W101 wiring harness. You may
obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Empresa Brasileira de Aeron[aacute]utica S.A. (EMBRAER) has issued
Service Bulletin No. SB 500-24-0002, dated March 8, 2010. The actions
described in this service information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 83 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 12 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost
about $13 per product. Where the service information lists required
parts costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there
will be no charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty
coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than
estimated here.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $85,739, or $1,033 per product.

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); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER): Docket No. FAA-
2010-1023; Directorate Identifier 2010-CE-055-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by November 29, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
(EMBRAER) Model EMB-500 airplanes, serial numbers 50000005 thru
50000105, certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 92: Wiring
Elements.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    It has been detected a short circuit in harness W101 due to its
interference with the main door mechanism. Further analysis of the
affected region has also revealed the possibility of chafing between
the same harness and the oxygen tubing. The chafing of the wiring
harness against the oxygen tubing could lead to a short circuit of
the wiring harness and a subsequent fire in the airplane.
    Since this condition may occur in other airplanes of the same
type and affects flight safety, a corrective action is required.
Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance with this AD in
the indicated time limit.

The MCAI requires installing clamps to the W101 wiring harness.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, within 600 hours time-in-service (TIS)
after the effective date of this AD or within 12 months after the
effective date of this AD, whichever comes first, install clamps and
protection sleeves to harness W101 within the cockpit area and
rework structures to eliminate the fretting spots of the harness
with the main door locking mechanism and with the oxygen tube. Do
the installation following Empresa Brasileira de Aeron[aacute]utica
S.A. (EMBRAER) Service Bulletin No. SB 500-24-0002, dated March 8,
2010.

FAA AD Differences

    Note:  This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send
information to ATTN: Karl Schletzbaum, Aerospace Engineer, FAA,

applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has

    Abstract: EPA has initiated a proceeding to investigate whether and
what type of regulatory action might be appropriate to control
exposures to lead dust resulting from renovation, repair, and painting
(RRP) activities in public and commercial buildings (P&CBs). These
proceedings have been described in previous Federal Register documents,
entitled ``Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program for Public
and Commercial Buildings'' (advance notice of proposed rulemaking) (75
FR 24848, May 6, 2010) (FRL-8823-6); ``Lead; Renovation, Repair, and
Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings; Request for
Information and Advance Notice of Public Meeting'' (77 FR 76996,
December 31, 2012) (FRL-9373-7); and ``Lead; Renovation, Repair, and
Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings; Notice of Public
Meeting and Reopening of Comment Period'' (78 FR 27906, May 13, 2013)
(FRL-9385-6). EPA plans to conduct a survey to collect information on:
Building and activity patterns that may affect exposures to lead dust
from RRP activities in P&CBs the number of firms that perform RRP
activities in P&CBs the types and numbers of RRP activities that are
performed; the extent to which various work practices are currently
being used in RRP jobs in P&CBs and the extent to which various work
practices that help with the containment and cleanup of lead dust are
currently being used in RRP jobs performed in P&CBs.
    The information collected through the survey (along with
information submitted to EPA in response to the previous Federal
Register documents for this proceeding, as well as other data sources)
will allow EPA to predict a baseline for the incidence of different
types of RRP activities that disturb lead-based paint in P&CBs, the
methods that are used to conduct these activities, the work practices
that are used to contain and clean the resulting dust, and the
characteristics of the buildings where the work is performed. EPA will
use this information to estimate the resulting exposures to lead dust,
which will inform Agency decisionmaking about the need for and scope of
potential regulatory or other actions to reduce exposures to lead dust
from RRP activities in P&CBs. If EPA determines that a regulation is
needed, the Agency will use this data to assess the incremental
benefits and costs of potential options to reduce such exposures. The
information collected through the survey is necessary to inform Agency
decisionmakers about the need for and scope of regulatory or other
actions to protect against risks created by RRP activities disturbing
lead-based paint in P&CBs.
    Establishments will be selected using a stratified random sampling
method. EPA plans to have a total of 402

respondents complete a questionnaire. The information collection will
utilize separate questionnaires for contractors that perform RRP
activities in P&CBs lessors and managers of P&CBs that use their own
staff to perform RRP activities; and building owners and occupants of
P&CBs that use their own staff to perform RRP activities. The survey
asks for readily available information, e.g., information known or
easily accessible by respondents.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: RRP contractors that work in P&CBs,
lessors and managers of P&CBs, and owners and occupants of P&CBs.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 8,485.
    Frequency of response: Once.
    Estimated Total Burden: 564 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $34,103. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $34,103 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in Burden Estimates: This is a request for a new approval
from OMB.

    This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide for readers regarding persons likely to be affected by this
action. For any questions regarding the applicability of this action to
a particular entity, please refer to the contact person listed in the
preceding FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

B. Background

    Section 102(c) of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries
Act (MPRSA) of 1972, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1401 et seq., gives the
Administrator of EPA the authority to designate sites where ocean
disposal may be permitted. On October 1, 1986, the Administrator
delegated the authority to designate ocean disposal sites to the
Regional Administrator of the Region in which the sites are located.
These modifications are being made pursuant to that authority.
    The EPA Ocean Dumping Regulations promulgated under MPRSA (40 CFR
Chapter I, Subchapter H, Section 228.11) state that modifications in
disposal site use which involve withdrawal of disposal sites from use
or permanent changes in the total specified quantities or types of
waste permitted to be discharged to a specific disposal site will be
made by promulgation in this Part 228. This site modification of types
of waste permitted to be discharged to a specific disposal site are
being published as a final rulemaking in accordance with Sec.
228.11(a) of the Ocean Dumping Regulations, which permits changes in
the total specified quantities or types of waste permitted to be
discharged to a specific disposal site based upon changed circumstances
concerning use of the site.

C. Final Action

    The modifications of the use restrictions on the Galveston, TX,
Dredged Material Site, Freeport Harbor, TX, New Work (45 Foot Project),
Freeport Harbor, TX, Maintenance (45 Foot Project), Matagorda Ship
Channel, TX, Corpus Christi Ship Channel, TX, Port Mansfield, TX,
Brazos Island Harbor, TX and Brazos Island Harbor (42-Foot Project), TX
ODMDSs was requested by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston
District in a March 27, 2015 letter. The current wording within the 40
CFR 228.15 restricts the use of these ODMDS to only dredged material
originating from specific federal channel reaches associated with each
ODMDS. For Freeport Harbor, TX, New Work (45 Foot Project) ODMDS and
the Brazos Island Harbor (42-Foot Project), the ODMDSs are restricted
to receive only construction dredged material from channel improvement
projects at Freeport and Brazos Island Harbor, respectively. Modeling
shows that future disposal capacity is limited at the placement areas
typically used by the Galveston District when ocean disposal is not an
option. As a result of these limitations, there is a need to change the
use restrictions placed on these ODMDSs to include suitable dredged
material from the greater vicinities of the respective federal
channels. The restriction modification will provide for sufficient
future dredged material disposal capacity for material originating from
dredging areas within each Federal channel and its vicinity.

D. Responses to Comments

    The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on June 18,
2015 (80 FR 34871), as docket number EPA-EPA-R06-OW-2015-0121. The
comment period closed on August 3, 2015. The EPA received one letter on
the proposed rule from the Department of Interior stating that they
have no comment. As no comments were received, the EPA has no responses
to comments for the proposed rule.

E. Administrative Review

1. Executive Order 12866

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) EPA must
determine whether the regulatory action is `significant,'' and
therefore subject to office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and
other requirements of the Executive Order. The Order defines
``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to lead to a
rule that may:
    (a) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more,
or adversely affect in a material way, the economy, a sector of the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or State, local or Tribal governments or communities;
    (b) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;
    (c) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs, or the rights and obligations of
recipients thereof: or
    (d) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
    This Final rule should have minimal impact on State, local, or
Tribal governments or communities. Consequently, EPA has determined
that this Final rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
the terms of Executive Order 12866.

2. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., is intended to
minimize the reporting and recordkeeping burden on the regulated
community, as well as to minimize the cost of Federal information
collection and dissemination. In general, the Act requires that
information requests and record-keeping requirements affecting ten or
more non-Federal respondents be approved by OMB. Since the Final rule
would not establish or modify any information or recordkeeping
requirements, but only clarifies existing requirements, it is not
subject to the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act, as Amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses,
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.

    This Final rule will not impose any requirements on small entities.
The modification of the Galveston, TX, Dredged Material Site, Freeport
Harbor, TX, New Work (45 Foot Project), Freeport Harbor, TX,
Maintenance (45 Foot Project), Matagorda Ship Channel, TX, Corpus
Christi Ship Channel, TX, Port Mansfield, TX, Brazos Island Harbor, TX
and Brazos Island Harbor (42-Foot Project), TX ODMDSs broadens the use
of the sites providing additional options for dredged material
placement in the Galveston, Freeport, Matagorda, Corpus Christi, Port
Mansfield and Brownsville, Texas vicinities.
    For these reasons, the Regional Administrator certifies, pursuant
to section 605(b) of the RFA, that the Final rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    This final rule contains no Federal mandates under the provisions
of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) of 1995
(Pub. L. 104-4) for State, local, or tribal governments or the private
sector that may result in estimated costs of $100 million or more in
any year. It imposes no new enforceable duty on any State, local or
tribal governments or the private sector nor does it contain any
regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect
small government entities. Thus, the requirements of section 203 of the
UMRA do not apply to this final rule.

5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.
``Policies that have federalism implications'' are defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects 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.''
    This final rule does not have federalism implications. It will not
have substantial direct effects 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,
as specified in Executive Order 13132.

6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by Tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have Tribal implications.'' This Final rule does not have
Tribal implications, as defined in Executive Order 13175.

7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks

    This Executive Order (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies to any
rule that: (1) Is determined to be ``economically significant'' as
defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental
health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have a
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets
both criteria, EPA must evaluate the environmental health or safety
effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the planned
regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably
feasible alternatives considered by EPA. This final rule is not subject
to the Executive Order because it is not economically significant as
defined in Executive Order 12866, and because EPA does not have reason
to believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this
action present a disproportionate risk to children.

8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use Compliance With Administrative Procedure
Act

    This Final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)) because it is not a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

9. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory
activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. This Final rule does not involve technical
standards. Therefore, EPA is not considering the use of any voluntary
consensus standards.

10. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations

    Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629) directs Federal agencies to
determine whether the Final rule would have a disproportionate adverse
impact on minority or low-income population groups within the project
area. The Final rule would not significantly affect any low-income or
minority population.

[Docket No. FAA-2023-2002; Project Identifier MCAI-2023-00176-E]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. (Type
Certificate Previously Held by WALTER Engines a.s., Walter a.s., and
MOTORLET a.s.) Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede airworthiness directive (AD)
2021-13-07, which applies to all GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. (GEAC) (type
certificate previously held by WALTER Engine a.s., Walter a.s., and
MOTORLET a.s.) Model M601D-11, M601E-11, M601E-11A, M601E-11AS, M601E-
11S, and M601F engines. AD 2021-13-07 requires recalculating the life
of critical parts and, depending on the results of the recalculation,
replacing these critical parts. AD 2021-13-07 also requires replacing a
certain compressor case. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-13-07, the
manufacturer published the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of
the existing engine maintenance manual (EMM), which includes the
calculations for the life of critical parts addressed by AD 2021-13-07
and prompted this proposed AD. This proposed AD would continue to
require the replacement of a certain centrifugal compressor case. This
proposed AD would also include an additional part number as an option
for the replacement and would limit the applicability of the proposed
AD, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD,
which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this NPRM by December 11, 2023.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2023-2002; Project Identifier
MCAI-2023-00176-E'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
the proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to
Barbara Caufield, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 Stewart Avenue,
Suite 410, Westbury, NY 11590. Any commentary that the

FAA receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed
in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2021-13-07, Amendment 39-21612 (86 FR 31601, June
15, 2021) (AD 2021-13-07), for all GEAC Model M601D-11, M601E-11,
M601E-11A, M601E-11AS, M601E-11S, and M601F engines. AD 2021-13-07 was
prompted by an MCAI originated by EASA, which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European Union. EASA issued EASA Emergency
AD 2021-0125-E, dated May 7, 2021 (EASA Emergency AD 2021-0125-E) to
address an unsafe condition identified as the manufacturer finding
errors in the ALS of the existing EMM, including errors in the formula
to determine the consumed equivalent flight cycles of critical parts
and errors with certain part numbers. The manufacturer also determined
that the life limit of a certain compressor case installed on Model
M601E engines is not listed in the ALS of the applicable EMM.
    AD 2021-13-07 requires recalculating the life of critical parts
and, depending on the results of the recalculation, replacing critical
parts. AD 2021-13-07 also requires replacing a certain compressor case.
The FAA issued AD 2021-13-07 to prevent the failure of the engine.

Actions Since AD 2021-13-07 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2021-13-07, EASA revised EASA Emergency AD
2021-0125-E and issued EASA AD 2021-0125R1, dated January 30, 2023
(EASA AD 2021-0125R1) (referred to after this as the MCAI). The MCAI
states that the manufacturer published the ALS, which incorporates
certain requirements addressed by EASA Emergency AD 2021-0125-E, and
that EASA published EASA AD 2023-0020, dated January 23, 2023 (EASA AD
2023-0020), which requires accomplishment of the actions specified in
the ALS. The MCAI limits the applicability to M601E engines with a
centrifugal compressor case having part number M601-154.61 installed
and removes the requirements that have been incorporated in the ALS.
The FAA is addressing the actions specified in the ALS concurrently in
a separate AD action.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-2002.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2021-0125R1, which specifies procedures
for replacing the centrifugal compressor case, limits the applicability
to certain M601E engines, and removes the requirements that have been
incorporated in the ALS.
    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.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI referenced above. 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 require accomplishing the actions specified
in the MCAI described previously, except for any differences identified
as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD and the
``Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI.''

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI

    The MCAI applies to GEAC Model M601E engines, and this AD does not
because they do not have an FAA type certificate.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has since
coordinated with other manufacturers and CAAs to use this process. As a
result, the FAA proposes to incorporate by reference EASA AD 2021-
0125R1 in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore,
require compliance with EASA AD 2021-0125R1 in its entirety through
that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Using common terms that are
the same as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does not
mean that operators need comply only with that section. For example,
where the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions within the
compliance times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited
to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in
EASA AD 2021-0125R1. Service information required by the EASA AD for
compliance will be available at regulations.gov by under Docket No.
FAA-2023-2002 after the FAA final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 13 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

                                         hour = $850.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2019-0658.
    Petitioner: Hageland Aviation Services dba RavnAir Connect.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Section 135.297(b).
    Description of Relief Sought: RavnAir Connect wishes to receive an
exemption from section 135.297, subparagraph b, to allow the
substitution of an Area Navigation (RNAV) approach with Localizer
Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) minima for the precision
approach procedure required by the rule. RavnAir Connect requests this
exemption due to the limited availability of Instrument Landing System
(ILS) precision approach procedures in rural Alaska and the equivalent
level of safety provided by RNAV approaches with LPV minima. The
petitioner contends that this exemption would be in the interest of the
public by maintaining qualified pilots and therefore maintaining
essential air transportation for basic necessities to rural
communities.
