    ii. Follow directions - The agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at the estimate.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0103; Project Identifier MCAI-2020-00604-E;
Amendment 39-21659; AD 2021-15-12]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Turboshaft
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) PW210A and PW210S model turboshaft
engines. This AD was prompted by a report from the manufacturer that
the Automated Damage Tracking System (ADTS) may under-count the number
of cycles accrued by the impeller and the high-pressure compressor
(HPC) rotor. This AD requires use of the manual low-cycle fatigue (LCF)
counting method in place of the ADTS counting method to determine the
number of cycles accrued by the impeller and HPC rotor. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective September 9, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 9,
2021.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

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 all P&WC PW210A and
PW210S model turboshaft engines. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on February 26, 2021 (86 FR 11651). The NPRM was prompted by a
report from the manufacturer that the ADTS may under-count the number
of cycles accrued by the impeller and the HPC rotor. The impeller and
HPC rotor are both life-limited components and exceeding their
published life limits could result in the failure of these components.
In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require the use of the manual LCF
counting method in place of the ADTS counting method to determine the
number of cycles accrued by the impeller and HPC rotor. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (Transport Canada), which is the
aviation authority for Canada, has issued Transport Canada AD CF-2020-
13, dated April 28, 2020 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to
address the unsafe condition on these products. The MCAI states:

    The engine manufacturer has discovered that the Automated Damage
Tracking System (ADTS) may under-count the number of cycles accrued
by the impeller and the High Pressure (HP) compressor rotor. The
impeller and HP compressor rotor are both life limited components
and exceeding their published life limits could result in the
failure of these components.
    Failure of the impeller or HP compressor rotor could result in
the uncontained release of the impeller or the HP compressor rotor,
and subsequently could result in damage to the engine, damage to the
helicopter, and loss of control of the helicopter.
    This [Transport Canada] AD mandates the use of the Manual Low
Cycle Fatigue (LCF) Counting method to ensure that the impeller and
HP compressor rotor do not exceed their published life limits.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2020-0103.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from one commenter. The individual
commenter supported the NPRM without change.

Clarification That Reporting Is Not Required

    The FAA added paragraph (i) to this AD to clarify that the
reporting specified in P&WC Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. PW210-72-
A57142, Revision No. 1, dated March 26, 2020, and P&WC ASB No. PW210-
72-A57143, Revision No. 1, dated March 26, 2020, is not required by
this AD.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting the AD as
proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, and
any other changes described previously, this AD is adopted as proposed
in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Alert Service
Bulletin (ASB) No. PW210-72-A57142, Revision No. 1, dated March 26,
2020 (ASB No. PW210-72-A57142); and Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. ASB
No. PW210-72-A57143, Revision No. 1, dated March 26, 2020 (ASB No.
PW210-72-A57143). ASB No. PW210-72-A57142 specifies procedures for
calculating the correct, current LCF cycle count for the impeller and
HPC rotor on PW210A model turboshaft engines. ASB No. PW210-72-A57143
specifies procedures for calculating the correct, current LCF cycle
count for the impeller and HPC rotor installed on PW210S model
turboshaft engines. 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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Task 00-00-00-860-801
and Task 00-00-00-860-803 of Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Engine
Maintenance Manual (EMM), Manual Part No. 30L2392, Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS), both at Revision 13, dated September 28,
2020.
    Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Task 00-00-00-860-801 of Pratt &
Whitney Canada Corp. EMM, Manual Part No. 30L2392, identifies the LCF
life limits for the impeller and HPC rotor. Pratt & Whitney Canada
Corp. Task 00-00-00-860-803 of Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. EMM, Manual
Part No. 30L2392, describes procedures for manually calculating the
correct, current LCF cycle count for the impeller and HPC rotor and
provides the formula for manually calculating the accumulated total
cycles for the impeller and HPC rotor.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD to be an interim action. If final action
is later identified, the FAA might consider additional rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 66 engines installed on
helicopters of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                       hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Certification
of Airports

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites
public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. 14 CFR
part 139 establishes certification requirements for airports serving
scheduled air carrier operations in aircraft with 10-30 seats.
    The collection involves FAA Form 5280-1, Application for Airport
Operating Certificate. Every airport that wants to become a
certificated Part 139 airport must complete this form, as well as
provide a draft Airport Certification Manual (ACM). In addition,
currently certificated Part 139 airports must maintain their ACM, as
well as keep and maintain records related to training, self-inspection,
and other requirements of Part 139.
    These records allow the FAA to verify compliance with Part 139
safety and operational requirements to ensure that the airports meet
the minimum safety requirements of Part 139, which in turn enhances the
safety of the flying public.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 1, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Barbara
Hall, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway,
Fort Worth, TX 76177.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Barbara Hall by email at:
[email protected]; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0675.
    Title: Certification of Airports, 14 CFR part 139.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 5280-1.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The statutory authority to issue airport operating
certificates to airports serving certain air carriers and to establish
minimum safety standards for the operation of those airports is
currently found in Title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) Sec.  44706,
Airport operation certificates. The FAA uses this authority to issue
requirements for the certification and operation of certain airports
that service commercial air carriers. These requirements are contained
in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulation part 139 (14 CFR part 139),
Certification and Operations: Land Airports Serving Certain Air
Carriers, as amended. Information collection requirements are used by
the FAA to determine an airport operator's compliance with part 139
safety and operational requirements, and to assist airport personnel to
perform duties required under the regulation.
    Operators of certificated airports are required to complete FAA
Form 5280-1 and develop, and comply with, a written document, an
Airport Certification Manual (ACM), that details how an airport will
comply with the requirements of part 139. The ACM shows the means and
procedures whereby the airport will be operated in compliance with part
139, plus other instructions and procedures to help personnel concerned
with operation of the airport to perform their duties and
responsibilities.
    When an airport satisfactorily complies with such requirements, the
FAA issues to that facility an airport operating certificate (AOC) that
permits an airport to serve air carriers. The FAA periodically inspects
these airports to ensure continued compliance with part 139 safety
requirements, including the maintenance of specified records. Both the
application for an AOC and annual compliance inspections require
operators of certificated airports to collect and report certain
operational information. The AOC remains in effect as long as the need
exists and the operator complies with the terms of the AOC and the ACM.
    The likely respondents to new information requests are those
civilian U.S. airport certificate holders who operate airports that
serve scheduled and unscheduled operations of air carrier aircraft with
more than 30 passenger seats (approximately 530 airports). These
airport operators already hold an AOC and comply with all current
information collection requirements.
    Operators of certificated airports are permitted to choose the
methodology to report information and can design their own
recordkeeping system. As airports vary in size, operations and
complexities, the FAA has determined this method of information
collection allows airport operators greater flexibility and convenience
to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements. 100% of the
information may be submitted electronically.
    The FAA has an automated system, the Certification and Compliance
Management Information System (CCMIS), which allows FAA airport safety
and certification inspectors to enter into a national database airport
inspection information. This information is monitored to detect trends
and developing safety issues, to allocate inspection resources, and
generally, to be more responsive to the needs of regulated airports.
    Respondents: Approximately 530 airports.
    Frequency: Information collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 22 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 95,191 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 24, 2018.

Management Support Specialist, Performance, Policy, and Records
Management Branch, ASP-110.
