    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1633.15, OMB Control No. 2060-0258.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2009. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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, and 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 Acid Rain Program was established under Title IV of
the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. The program calls for major
reductions of the pollutants that cause acid rain while establishing a
new approach to environmental management. This information collection
is necessary to implement the Acid Rain Program. It includes burden
hours associated with developing and modifying permits, transferring
allowances, obtaining allowances from the conservation and renewable
energy reserve, monitoring emissions, participating in the annual
auctions, completing annual compliance certifications, participating in
the Opt-in program, and complying with NOX permitting
requirements.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 90
hours 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: Electric utilities, Industrial
sources, and other persons.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,700.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, quarterly, and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 2,056,946.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $288,922,970, includes $150,608,009
annualized capital and O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 85,670 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to adjustments which include
changes to the number of responses and the time it takes to respond to
a particular activity.

    Dated: July 21, 2009.

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0482; Directorate Identifier 2012-NE-14-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-524G2-19; RB211-524G2-T-19; RB211-524G3-19;
RB211-524G3-T-19; RB211-524H2-19; RB211-524H2-T-19; RB211-524H-36;
RB211-524H-T-36; RB211-535E4-37; RB211-535E4-B-37; RB211-535E4-B-75;
and RB211-535E4-C-37 turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by
an investigation by RR concluding that certain intermediate-pressure
(IP) turbine discs produced before 1997 by a certain supplier may
contain steel inclusions. This proposed AD would require removal of the
affected IP turbine discs to inspect them for steel inclusions, and
removal from service if the discs fail the inspection. This proposed AD
would also require removal from service of some IP turbine discs at
reduced life limits. We are proposing this AD to prevent uncontained IP
turbine disc failure, engine failure, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 10,
2012.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD 2012-0060, dated April 18, 2012 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    The inspection of several intermediate pressure (IP) turbine
discs at past engine overhauls identified the presence of steel
inclusions in these parts. Further investigation concluded that all
affected parts were manufactured from billets produced before 1997
at a certain supplier who also melted steel in the same furnaces.
Initial engineering evaluation concluded that the lives of the parts
would not be affected by the presence of the said steel inclusions.
This evaluation has been recently repeated, utilising improved
structural analysis, and it is now concluded that the currently
published lives of the components cannot be supported for some discs
with a steel inclusion.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    RR has issued RB211-524G, 524H, and 535E4 Propulsion Systems Alert
Service Bulletin No. RB.211-72-AG493, Revision 1, dated November 11,
2011. The actions described in this service information are intended to
confirm the presence or absence of steel inclusions on the affected IP
turbine discs, and to require removal of certain discs at new lower
life limits.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the United Kingdom and is
approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral
agreement with the European Community, EASA has 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 provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists

and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.
    This proposed AD would require removal of the affected IP turbine
discs to inspect them for steel inclusions, and if found, this AD would
require removal from service. This proposed AD would also impose a new
lower life limit on affected IP turbine discs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 200 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would
take about 12.5 work-hours per engine to inspect an IP turbine disc.
The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. In addition, 77 discs must
be removed earlier than the existing Airworthiness Limitation Section
requires. A prorated replacement IP turbine disc would cost about
$9,925 per engine. We also estimate the cost of replacing a disc if it
fails the inspection would be $225,000. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $976,725.

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:
