ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ 20415-0641; FRL -9935-60-OW]

Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request;
Information Collection Request for Reporting Requirements for BEACH Act
Grants (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to submit an
information collection request (ICR), ``Information collection request
for reporting requirements for BEACH act grants (renewal)'' (EPA ICR
No. 2048.05, OMB Control No. 2040-0244) to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is
soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed
information collection as described below. This is a proposed extension
of the ICR, which is currently approved through December 31, 2015. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 14, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ
20415-0614 online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), or
by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail
Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tracy Bone, OW, 4305T, Environmental
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460;
telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Supporting documents which explain in detail the information that
the EPA will be collecting are available in the public docket for this
ICR. The docket can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov or in
person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution
Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center
is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional information about EPA's public docket,
visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health
(BEACH) Act amends the Clean Water Act (CWA) in part and authorizes the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to award BEACH Act Program
Development and Implementation Grants to coastal and Great Lakes
states, tribes, and territories (collectively referred to as states)
for their beach monitoring and notification programs. The grants will
assist those states to develop and implement a consistent approach to
monitor recreational water quality; assess, manage, and communicate
health risks from waterborne microbial contamination; notify the public
of pollution occurrences, and post beach advisories and closures to
prevent public exposure to microbial pathogens. To qualify for a BEACH
Act Grant, a state must submit information to EPA documenting that its
beach monitoring and notification program is consistent with 11
performance criteria outlined in the National Beach Guidance and
Required Performance Criteria for Grants, 2014 Edition.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are environmental and public health agencies in coastal and
Great Lakes states, territories, and tribes.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain the grants
as directed by the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health
(BEACH) Act amendment to the Clean Water Act (CWA).
    Estimated number of respondents: 38.
    Frequency of response: Submitting monitoring and notification
reports quarterly, all other reporting annual.
    Total estimated burden: 92,391 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
    Total estimated cost: $13,302,102 (per year), includes $9,731,280
operation & maintenance costs. There are no capital costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 3,579 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is due to an additional respondent
qualifying for a grant and to additional performance criteria related
to public evaluation of programs and implementation schedules, which
are discussed in the updated grant guidance document, National Beach
Guidance and Required Performance Criteria for Grants, 2014 Edition.

    Dated: October 1, 2015.

Director, Office of Science and Technology.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-67071; File No. SR-Phlx-2012-67]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
the MSCI EAFE Index

May 29, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on May 16, 2012, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the trading hours for options on the
MSCI EAFE Index.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange has entered into a license agreement with MSCI
Inc. (``MSCI'') to list this product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/micro.aspx?id=PHLXRulefilings,
at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 1101A entitled ``Terms
of Option Contracts'' to change the trading hours for options on the
MSCI EAFE Index on the last trading day prior to expiration.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .01 of Exchange
Rule 1101A to note that ``Transactions in options on the Full Value
MSCI EAFE Index may be effected on the Exchange until 4:15 p.m. each
business day, except that on the last trading day prior to expiration
transactions may be effected on the Exchange until 11:00 a.m.'' For
example, for the month of May 2012, options on the MSCI EAFE Index
would trade until 4:15 each day except for May 18, 2012. Because May
19, 2012 is an expiration day, the Exchange would trade options on the
MSCI EAFE Index until 11:00 a.m. on May 18, 2012, the last trading day
prior to expiration.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The expiration date for options on the MSCI EAFE index is
the Saturday following the third Friday of the expiration month.
These options expire each month of the calendar year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Futures on the MSCI EAFE Index currently trade at NYSE Liffe and
these futures cease trading at 11:00 a.m. on the third Friday of the
month.\5\ The Exchange proposes to similarly cease trading options on
the MSCI EAFE Index at 11:00 a.m. on the trading day

preceding expiration.\6\ At the time that the Exchange filed to list
options on the MSCI EAFE Index,\7\ it inadvertently did not amend the
trading hours to reflect similar hours as that of the futures products.
The Exchange believes that closing the trading of options on the MSCI
EAFE Index early on the last trading day prior to expiration would
align the trading of options with that of futures on the MSCI EAFE
Index, which today closes at 11:00 a.m. on the trading day preceding
expiration in each cycle month.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ NYSE Liffe futures based on the MSCI EAFE Mini Index
utilizes p.m. closing prices for settlement. Futures for the MSCI
EAFE Index were listed for trading on September 8, 2009. See http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/19-2009.pdf. On June 20, 2011, NYSE Liffe became
the sole Designated Contract Market to list futures on the MSCI EAFE
Index. See http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/15-2011.pdf. Futures on the MSCI
EAFE Index expire on a quarterly cycle.
    \6\ The settlement value for expiring options on the MSCI EAFE
Index would be based on the closing prices of the component stocks
on the last trading day prior to expiration, usually a Friday.
Specifically, the MSCI EAFE Index components open with the start of
trading in Asia at 6:00 p.m. E.T. (prior day) and closes with the
end of trading in Europe at 12:30 p.m. E.T. (the next day) as
closing prices from Ireland are accounted for in the closing
calculation. The closing index level value is distributed by MSCI
between 2:00 and 2:30 p.m. e.t. each trading day.
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 66861 (April 26,
2012), 77 FR 26056 (May 2, 2012) (SR-Phlx-2012-28).
    \8\ The Exchange would issue an Options Trader Alert when this
filing becomes effective to notify its members when the close of
trading hours will change to 11:00 a.m.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \9\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \10\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments
to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general to protect investors and the public
interest, by amending the trading hours to coincide with the trading
hours of futures on the MSCI EAFE Index.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes closing the trading of options on the MSCI
EAFE Index early on the last trading day prior to expiration, similar
to MSCI EAFE futures products would align both options and futures on
the MSCI EAFE Index. The Exchange also believes that aligning the
trading hours for products which trade on the MSCI EAFE Index would
provide investors and market makers a greater ability to hedge.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (1) Does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (3) by its terms does not become operative for 30 days after the
date of this filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Exchange has fulfilled this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Why Is EPA Issuing This Proposed Rule?

    This document proposes to take action on the National Volatile
Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings to move the
applicability and compliance dates for aerosol coatings from January 1,
2009 to July 1, 2009. Also, EPA is making initial notifications
required due on the compliance date, as opposed to 90 days in advance
of the compliance date. We have published a direct final rule to make
these same amendments in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this
Federal Register because we view this as a non-controversial action and
anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this
action in the preamble to the direct final rule.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw
the direct final rule, and it will not take effect. We would address
all public comments in any subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on the
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
    The regulatory text for the proposal is identical to that for the
direct final rule and published in the ``Rules and Regulations''
section of this Federal Register.

II. Does This Action Apply to Me?

    The entities potentially affected by this proposed rule are the
same entities that are subject to the Aerosol Coatings final rule. The
entities affected by the Aerosol Coatings final rule include:
Manufacturers, processors, distributors, importers of aerosol coatings
for sale or distribution in the United States, and manufacturers,
processors, distributors, or importers who supply the entities listed
above with aerosol coatings for sale or distribution in interstate
commerce in the United States.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    For a complete discussion of all the administrative requirements
applicable to this action, see the Direct Final Rule in the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

    Title: GreenChill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2349.01, OMB Control No. 2060-New.
    ICR Status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The GreenChill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership
(hereafter referred to as GreenChill Partnership or GreenChill) is an
EPA cooperative alliance with the supermarket industry to promote
advanced refrigeration technologies, strategies, and practices that
reduce emissions of ozone-depleting and greenhouse gas refrigerants. A
food retailer's decision to participate in the GreenChill Partnership
is completely voluntary. After joining GreenChill by submitting a
signed ``Partnership Agreement,'' food retailers are asked to submit a
``Stocks and Emissions Report'' to an independent third party. The form
requires partners to provide corporate-wide, aggregated data on the
stocks and emissions of all refrigerants used in commercial
refrigeration and air conditioning appliances. The independent third
party summarizes the information submitted by the food retailers,
removes any identifying information, and sends a summary of the
information to GreenChill. Partners are then asked to submit a
``Corporate Refrigerant Management Plan'' with their emissions
reductions goals for the next year, along with a brief description of
their plan to meet that goal (such as retrofitting old equipment,
etc.). These two forms are necessary for GreenChill to track annual
supermarket refrigerant emissions rates, allowing GreenChill and its
food retail partners to benchmark partners' progress on reducing
emissions. The partner emissions data is also the basis for the
achievement awards that GreenChill gives out to its partners.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 18.1
hours for the first year and 11 hours per year for the second and third
years per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to

respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete
and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: GreenChill Food Retail Partners.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 17.
    Frequency of Response: Annual.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 169.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1378.29 for the first year and
$812.91 per year for the second and third years. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $1367.86 and an estimated cost of $10.43 for
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs for the first
year and an estimated burden cost of $808.05 and an estimated cost of
$4.86 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs for
the second and third years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to RRD Trent 1000-AE3,
Trent 1000-CE3, Trent 1000-D3, Trent 1000-G3, Trent 1000-H3, Trent
1000-J3, Trent 1000-K3, Trent 1000-L3, Trent 1000-M3, Trent 1000-N3,
Trent 1000-P3, Trent 1000-Q3, Trent 1000-R3, Trent 7000-72, and Trent
7000-72C model turbofan engines. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on April 2, 2020 (85 FR 18478). The NPRM was prompted by a
report of crack findings in the front air seal on the IPC shaft
assembly during the stripping of a flight test engine. The NPRM
proposed to require initial and repetitive BSIs of the IPC shaft
assembly and, depending on the results of the inspection, replacement
of the IPC shaft assembly with a part eligible for installation. 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 2019-0282, dated November 20, 2019 (referred to after
this as ``the MCAI''), to address the unsafe condition on these
products. The MCAI states:

    An occurrence was reported of finding cracks in the front air
seal of the IPC shaft assembly during stripping of a flight test
engine. Follow-up inspections of other in-shop engines revealed two
more cracked front air seals of IPC shaft assemblies.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to IPC
shaft failure, possibly resulting in engine in-flight shut-down and
consequent reduced control of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Rolls-Royce
developed an inspection method and issued the NMSB, providing those
inspection instructions.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive on-wing inspections of the front air seal of the affected
part at a specific area between the fourth (rearmost) seal fin of
the IPC shaft assembly front air seal and the IPC Stage 1 disc and,
depending on findings, removal from service of the engine for
corrective action(s).

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2020-0293.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Update Methods To Gain Access to the IPC Shaft Assembly

    Delta Air Lines (DAL) requested that paragraph (g)(1), Required
Actions, of this AD be updated to specify that gaining access to the
front air seal of the IPC shaft assembly to perform the BSI can be
accomplished through the engine inlet and low-pressure compressor (LPC)
fan blades or through the outlet guide vanes (OGVs) regardless of
whether the BSI of the front air seal is performed concurrently with
any other inspections.
    DAL cited paragraph 3.B.(2)(b) of Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 Alert Non-
Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) 72-AK451, Initial Issue, dated
November 14, 2019 (``the NMSB''), that states that accessing the front
air seal may be made through the OGVs ``if performed concurrently with
IP Compressor Stage 1 blade inspections.'' As a result, inspectors may
have less difficulty accessing the inspection area through the OGVs.
Further, DAL reasoned that tooling for entry through the OGVs might be
more readily available in certain stations where the affected aircraft
operate.
    The FAA agrees that access to the front air seal of the IPC shaft
assembly can be accomplished through the engine inlet and LPC fan
blades or through the OGVs regardless of any other inspections
occurring at the time. The FAA, however, disagrees with updating
paragraph (g)(1) of this AD because this AD does not require a certain
method to access the front air seal of the IPC shaft assembly.

Request To Remove Engine To Allow for Verification of Cracks

    DAL requested that the FAA update paragraph (g)(3), Required
Actions, of this AD to require removal of the engine before further
flight and to allow verification of any cracks prior to mandating
replacement of the IPC shaft assembly. DAL added that the EASA AD,
which states to remove of the engine from service if any crack is
detected and to contact RRD for approved corrective actions, allows for
the possibility that an engine can be removed from the aircraft and
then subsequently cleared for continued service after cleaning and
reassessment of a suspected indication.
    The FAA disagrees with updating paragraph (g)(3) of this AD to
require removal of the engine. While the engine can be removed from the
aircraft and subsequently cleared for continued service after cleaning
and reassessment, the engine does not need to be removed from the
aircraft to verify a crack. According to the Accomplishment
Instructions, paragraph 3.B.(2)(e), of the NMSB, if a crack is found,
it is permissible to clean the suspected area and then repeat the BSI
or visual inspection of the IPC shaft assembly. Therefore, no change to
this AD is required.

Request To Allow Visual Inspections of the IPC Shaft Assembly During a
Shop Visit

    DAL requested that the FAA update paragraph (g)(2), Required
Actions, of this AD to allow credit for an IPC shaft assembly that
received the BSI using the NMSB or a general visual inspection during
an engine shop visit. DAL reasoned that when the IPC shaft assembly is
exposed during an engine shop visit, the inspection area can be
accessed without a borescope.

    The FAA agrees that visual inspections using standard shop
procedures would provide an equivalent level of safety as an on-wing
BSI if the front air seal of the IPC shaft assembly is exposed. The FAA
updated paragraph (g)(2) of this AD to allow a visual inspection using
FAA-approved maintenance procedures if the part is exposed.

Request To Revise Definition of Part Eligible for Installation

    DAL requested that the FAA update the definition of a ``part
eligible for installation'' be revised to also include a part that has
been inspected per standard shop procedures. DAL reasoned that
paragraph (h) of the NPRM only defined a part eligible for installation
to include a new IPC shaft assembly or an IPC shaft assembly that,
before installation, passed an inspection in accordance with referenced
service information, which only includes an on-wing BSI and does not
allow for inspection during an engine shop visit. Therefore, paragraph
(h) of the NPRM, as written, allows only for the reinstallation of the
IPC shaft assembly that had been previously inspected on-wing before
removal from an engine. Additionally, DAL noted that both the RRD Trent
1000 and Trent 7000 Cleaning, Inspection, and Repair Manuals, Section
72-32-31, provide standard manual procedures for identifying cracks on
the IPC shaft assembly.
    The FAA agrees and updated the definition of a ``part eligible for
installation'' in paragraph (h)(2) of this AD to include an in-shop BSI
and visual inspection using FAA-approved maintenance procedures.

Request To Remove Reference to Table of Inspection Intervals

    DAL requested that the FAA update paragraph (g)(2), Required
Actions, of this AD to remove the reference to Table 1 to paragraph
(g)(1) for inspection intervals. DAL suggested that the FAA mirror the
language of the MCAI that states that in-shop inspections ``may be
substituted for any on-wing BSI as required by paragraph (1) of this
[EASA] AD, provided the compliance time is not exceeded.'' DAL reasoned
that Table 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of the NPRM includes only the initial
inspection intervals, and therefore could be interpreted to exclude
substitution for repetitive inspections.
    The FAA agrees that Table 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD provides
the compliance time for the initial inspection, whereas paragraph
(g)(1) of this AD requires repetitive inspections at stated intervals.
The FAA updated paragraph (g)(2) of this AD from ``may be substituted
for any on-wing BSI, provided the compliance time specified in Table 1
to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD is not exceeded'' to ``may be
substituted for any on-wing BSI, provided the compliance time specified
in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD is not exceeded.''

Support for the AD

    The Boeing Company expressed support for the AD as written.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule with the changes described previously
and minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor
changes:
     [Agr]re consistent with the intent that was proposed in
the NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    The FAA has also determined that these changes will not increase
the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 Alert NMSB 72-AK451,
Initial Issue, dated November 14, 2019. The Alert NMSB describes
procedures for initial and repetitive BSIs of the IPC shaft assembly.
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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 14 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with 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

    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 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.

    This AD is effective November 10, 2020.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all:
    (1) Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) (Type Certificate
previously held by Rolls-Royce plc) Trent 1000-AE3, Trent 1000-CE3,
Trent 1000-D3, Trent 1000-G3, Trent 1000-H3, Trent 1000-J3, Trent
1000-K3, Trent 1000-L3, Trent 1000-M3, Trent 1000-N3, Trent 1000-P3,

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 7230, Turbine Engine
Compressor Section.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a report of crack findings in the front
air seal on the intermediate-pressure compressor (IPC) shaft
assembly during the stripping of a flight test engine. The FAA is
proposing this AD to prevent failure of the IPC shaft assembly. The
unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of thrust
control and reduced control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Required Actions

    (1) Within the compliance times specified in Table 1 to
paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, and thereafter, at intervals not to
exceed 200 flight cycles (FCs), perform a borescope inspection (BSI)
of the IPC shaft assembly, part number KH18436, using the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 3.B., of Rolls-Royce (RR)
Trent 1000 Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) 72-AK451,
Initial Issue, dated November 14, 2019.

    (2) An in-shop BSI of the IPC shaft assembly using the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 3.A, of RR Trent 1000 Alert
NMSB 72-AK451, Initial Issue, dated November 14, 2019, or visual
inspection of the IPC shaft assembly using FAA-approved maintenance
procedures if the part is exposed, may be substituted for any on-
wing BSI, provided the compliance time specified in paragraph (g)(1)
of this AD is not exceeded.
    (3) If, during any initial or repetitive BSI or visual
inspection of the IPC shaft assembly required by paragraph (g)(1) or
(2) of this AD, any crack is detected, before further flight, remove
the IPC shaft assembly and replace it with a part eligible for
installation.

(h) Definitions

    For the purpose of this AD, a ``part eligible for installation''
is:
    (1) An IPC shaft assembly that is new (not previously installed
on an engine);
    (2) An IPC shaft assembly that, before (re)installation, has
passed a BSI (no crack detected) using the Accomplishment
Instructions, paragraph 3.A. or B., of RR Trent 1000 Alert NMSB 72-
AK451, Initial Issue, dated November 14, 2019.
    (3) An IPC shaft assembly that, before (re)installation, has
passed a visual inspection of the exposed part (no crack detected)
using FAA-approved maintenance procedures.

(i) No Reporting Requirement

    The reporting requirements in the Accomplishment Instructions,
paragraphs 3.A. and 3.B., of RR Trent 1000 Alert NMSB

72-AK451, Initial Issue, dated November 14, 2019, are not required
by this AD.

(j) Credit for Previous Actions

    You may take credit for the initial BSI of the IPC shaft
assembly that is required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD if you
performed the BSI before the effective date of this AD using RR
