RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-524 Series
Turbofan Engines

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) for certain RR RB211-524 series turbofan engines. That
AD currently requires initial and repetitive borescope inspections of
the head section and meterpanel assembly of the combustion liner, and
replacement if necessary with serviceable parts. This proposed AD would
require those same inspections, and replacement if necessary with
serviceable parts. This proposed AD would also add more part number (P/
N) combustion liners to the applicability of this proposed AD. This
proposed AD results from an inquiry submitted by an operator, which
resulted in RR performing a complete review of the affected front
combustion liner part numbers. We are proposing this AD to prevent
deterioration of the engine combustion liner, which can result in
combustion liner breakup, case burn-through, engine fire, and damage to
the airplane.

DATES: We must receive any comments on this proposed AD by May 1, 2009.

Discussion

    On December 20, 2004, the FAA issued AD 2004-26-05, Amendment 39-
13917 (70 FR 680, January 5, 1005). That AD requires initial and
repetitive borescope inspections of the combustion liner head section
and meterpanel assembly of the combustion liner and replacement if
necessary, with serviceable parts. That action also reduces the
inspection intervals of certain RB211-524 engine models that have not
been repaired to RR Field Repair Scheme FRS5367/B, and requires a
mandatory terminating action to be completed by a certain date. The
Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which is the airworthiness authority
for the United Kingdom, notified the FAA that an unsafe condition may
exist on RR RB211-524 series turbofan engines. The CAA advises that in
August 2002, an RB211-524B engine suffered a combustion case burn-
through as a result of combustor head breakup. The combustor head was
previously inspected within the inspection interval specified in RR
Service Bulletin (SB) No. RB.211-72-B482, Revision 8, dated November
15, 2001, only 228 cycles before the event. Subsequent to the original
AD, RR has issued several revisions to SB No. RB.211-72-B482 to expand
the applicability and clarify or revise the inspection requirements. In
2003, RR issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. RB.211-72-AB482,
Revision 9, dated July 28, 2003, to reduce the inspection interval for
RB211-524B-02, -524B2, -524B3, and -524B4 engines that have not been
repaired to RR Field Repair Scheme FRS5367/B. This condition, if not
corrected, could result in deterioration of the engine combustion
liner, which can result in

combustion liner breakup, case burn-through, and engine fire.

Actions Since AD 2004-26-05 Was Issued

    Since that AD was issued, an operator submitted an inquiry which
resulted in RR performing a complete review of the affected front
combustion liner part numbers. Rolls-Royce identified a number of P/Ns
that must be included in the inspection requirements of this proposed
AD.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed and approved the technical contents of the
following RR SBs:
     RR ASB No. RB.211-72-AB482, Revision 9, dated July 28,
2003, which describes the initial inspection procedures to detect
cracking of the combustion liner head section and the meterpanel. This
ASB also describes the compliance intervals to do the initial and
repetitive inspections.
     RR SB No. RB.211-72-9670, dated August 27, 1993, which
describes the procedures to incorporate the improved combustion liner
head with C263 material, and to incorporate local thickened diffuser
walls around the struts for engine models -524B-02, -524B2, -524B3, -
524B4, -524C2 and -524D4.
     RR SB No. RB.211-72-9764, Revision 3, dated January 16,
1998, which describes the procedures to incorporate the improved
combustion liner with strengthened head and improved heat shields for
engine models -524G and -524H.
    The CAA classified ASB No. RB.211-72-AB482, Revision 9, dated July
28, 2003, as mandatory and issued AD G-2003-0011 (previously 005-07-
95), dated October 1, 2003, in order to ensure the airworthiness of
these RR engines in the United Kingdom.

Bilateral Agreement Information

    This engine model is manufactured in the United Kingdom and is type
certificated for operation in the United States under the provisions of
Section 21.29 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and
the applicable bilateral airworthiness agreement. Under this bilateral
airworthiness agreement, the CAA kept us informed of the situation
described above. We have examined the findings of the CAA, reviewed all
available information, and determined that AD action is necessary for
products of this type design that are certificated for operation in the
United States.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an
unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on other products
of this same type design. We are proposing this AD, which would
require:
     Initial and repetitive borescope inspections of the
combustion liner head section and meterpanel assembly of the combustion
liner and, if necessary, replacement.
     Reduction of the inspection intervals of certain RB211-524
engine models that have not been repaired to RR Field Repair Scheme
FRS5367/B, and
     A mandatory terminating action to the repetitive
inspections to be completed no later than December 31, 2012.
    The proposed AD would require that you do these actions using the
service information described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 18 engines installed
on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take
about 2 work-hours per engine to perform the proposed actions, and that
the average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. No parts are required, so
parts would cost about $0. Based on these figures, we estimate the
total cost of the proposed AD to U.S. operators to be $2,880.

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 have 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 AD:
    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. 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD. See the ADDRESSES section for a location
to examine the regulatory evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Export of Medical Devices; Foreign Letters of Approval--OMB Control
Number 0910-0264--Extension

    Section 801(e)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act)

(21 U.S.C. 381(e)(2)) provides for the exportation of an unapproved
device under certain circumstances if the exportation is not contrary
to the public health and safety and it has the approval of the foreign
country to which it is intended for export. Requesters communicate
(either directly or through a business associate in the foreign
country) with a representative of the foreign government to which they
seek exportation, and written authorization must be obtained from the
appropriate office within the foreign government approving the
importation of the medical device. An alternative to obtaining written
authorization from the foreign government is to accept a notarized
certification from a responsible company official in the United States
that the product is not in conflict with the foreign country's laws.
This certification must include a statement acknowledging that the
responsible company official making the certification is subject to the
provisions of 18 U.S.C. 1001. This statutory provision makes it a
criminal offense to knowingly and willingly make a false or fraudulent
statement, or make or use a false document, in any manner within the
jurisdiction of a department or Agency of the United States. The
respondents to this collection of information are companies that seek
to export medical devices. FDA's estimate of the reporting burden is
based on the experience of FDA's medical device program personnel.
    In the Federal Register of April 22, 2016 (81 FR 23720), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0218, dated October 12, 2020
(EASA AD 2020-0218) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -
132, and -133 airplanes.
    This AD was prompted by a determination that the cabin swift
broadband antenna doubler installation does not meet WFD requirements.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address the potential effects of WFD on
the installation. This condition, if not corrected, could reduce the
structural integrity of the fuselage. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0218 describes procedures for accomplishing a special
detailed inspection (roto test high frequency eddy current) of the
affected fastener holes, repairing, if any cracks or other
discrepancies (e.g. oversized hole, corrosion, or other damage) are
found, and replacing the cabin swift broadband antenna doubler with a
modified doubler.
    This material 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.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD because the FAA evaluated
all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2020-0218 described previously, as incorporated by reference, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2020-0218
is incorporated by reference in this final rule. This AD, therefore,
requires compliance with EASA AD 2020-0218 in its entirety, through
that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this 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 and compliance
times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the
section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in the
EASA AD. Service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0218 that is
required for compliance with EASA AD 2020-0218 is available on the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2021-0367.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    There are currently no U.S.-registered airplanes affected by this
AD. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
unnecessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3). In addition, for the
foregoing reason(s), the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0367; Project Identifier MCAI-
2020-01398-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, 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
this final rule 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
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.

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 AD 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 AD, 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 AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Sanjay
Ralhan, Aerospace Engineer, Large Aircraft Section, International
Validation Branch, FAA, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198;
telephone and fax<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    Currently, there are no affected U.S.-registered airplanes. If an
affected airplane is imported and placed on the U.S. Register in the
future, the FAA provides the following cost estimates to comply with
this AD:

                  Estimated Costs for Required Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Labor cost                 Parts cost       Cost per product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
239 work-hours x $85 per hour =   Up to $3,400......  Up to $23,715.
 $20,315.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition repairs specified in this 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 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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.
