Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XLIX; FFP Missouri 15, LLC; Notice of
Competing Preliminary Permit Applications Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications

September 28, 2010.
    On July 12, 2010, Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XLVIII (Hydro Friends)
and FFP Missouri 15, LLC (FFP) filed preliminary permit applications,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study
the feasibility of a hydropower project at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' (Corps) Mississippi River Lock and Dam 14
structure, located on the Mississippi River near Bettendorf, Rockland
County, Illinois. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued,
is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application
during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the
permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise
enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express
permission.
    Hydro Friends' proposed Lock and Dam 14 Hydropower Project
(Project No. 13809-000) would consist of: (1) One 109-foot-wide x 40-
foot-high lock frame module placed downstream from the lock and dam,
housed between two pre-fabricated concrete walls that would guide flows
into the turbines. The lock frame module would consist of ten
hydropower turbines, each rated at 1.25 megawatts (MW) and have a total
rated capacity of 12.5 MW; (2) fish/debris screens located upstream of
the module; (3) a new transformer in a new switchyard; (4) a 3-mile-
long 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line extending from the switchyard
to an existing nearby distribution line; and (5) appurtenant
facilities. Hydro Friends is also exploring alternatives that would
locate the module in the downstream section of the Corps' navigational
lock, and upstream of the dam. Each design would have an average annual
generation of 54,788 megawatt-hours per year (MWh/yr). The project
would operate run-of-river and utilize flows released from the dam.

Green Energy, LLC, 5090 Richmond Avenue 390, Houston, TX
77056; Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER> x 709.

    FFP's Mississippi Lock and Dam 14 Project (Project No.
13814-000) would consist of: (1) Two to four modular generation units
placed in 12 of the existing gate bays of the Corps' lock and dam
structure. These units would contain compact bulb turbines with
individual unit capacities of 0.35 MW and 0.70 MW and have a combined
capacity of 16.8 MW; (2) a 30-foot x 40-foot control building located
on the south side of the river; (3) a 13,100-foot-long transmission
line extending south from the switchyard near the proposed powerhouse
to an interconnection point on the Illinois shore with an existing
transmission line; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The proposed
operating voltage would be in the 34 to 138-kV range. FFP is also
exploring an alternative that would involve construction of a new 220-
foot-long x 250-foot-wide x 50-foot-high conventional powerhouse,
intake channel, and tailrace opposite the south side of the river. The
new proposed powerhouse would contain four horizontal bulb turbines
rated at 4.2 MW each. Each design would have a total energy generation
of 145 gigawatt-hours per year. The project would utilize Corps
designated flows from the Mississippi Lock and Dam 14
structure and operate as directed by the Corps.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2018-0735; Product Identifier 2018-NE-26-AD; Amendment
39-19505; AD 2018-24-01]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
International Aero Engines (IAE) PW1100G-JM turbofan engine models with
certain low-pressure turbine (LPT) 1st- and 3rd-stage disks installed.
This AD was prompted by a report of manufacturing defects found on
delivered LPT 1st- and 3rd-stage disks. This AD requires removing the
LPT 1st- or 3rd-stage disk from service and replacing with a part
eligible for installation. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective March 15, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all International Aero
Engines (IAE) PW1133G-JM, PW1133GA-JM, PW1130G-JM, PW1127G-JM,
PW1127GA-JM, PW1127G1-JM, PW1124G-JM, PW1124G1-JM, and PW1122G-JM
turbofan engines with certain LPT 1st- and 3rd-stage disks installed.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 7, 2018 (83 FR
45359). The NPRM was prompted by a report that multiple LPT 1st- and
3rd-stage disks were delivered before the ingot lot was rejected due to
material inclusion. The suspect LPT 1st- and 3rd-stage disks may
include defects that may not have been discovered during inspections.
The NPRM proposed to require removing the LPT 1st- or 3rd-stage disk
from service and replacing with a part eligible for installation. We
are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Comments

    We 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 Change Compliance Time

    IAE requested that we change the compliance time for removing from
service the LPT 1st- and 3rd-stage disks from ``at the next shop
visit'' to ``within a service period.'' IAE states its safety risk
analysis shows that the prescribed corrective action exceeds all
required safety risk criteria. Therefore, requiring removal and
replacement of the LPT 1st- and 3rd-stage disks with serial numbers (S/
Ns) listed in Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD ``at the next shop
visit'' is overly restrictive.
    We partially agree. We agree that requiring removal and replacement
of the LPT 1st- and 3rd-stage disks with S/Ns listed in Figure 1 to
paragraph (g) of this AD ``at the next shop visit'' may be overly
restrictive based on the risk presented in the safety risk assessment.
We disagree with using the words ``within a service period'' because
this might allow reinstallation of parts that do not conform to the
approved type design. Therefore, we changed the references in
paragraphs (g)(1) and (2) of this AD from ``at the next shop visit'' to
``at the next piece-part exposure.'' We find that this change still
meets the safety objectives of this AD. We also removed the Definitions
paragraph from this AD since it is no longer necessary.

Request To Revise Cost of Compliance

    An individual commenter requested that we define the costs
associated with the removal of the LPT 1st- or 3rd grade disks from
each unit.
    We disagree. We did not define a removal cost estimate because
removal of the LPT 1st- or 3rd grade disks occurs when the unit is ``at
the next piece-part exposure'' level. Therefore, no additional cost is
incurred by removal of the LPT disks.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the change described previously. We have
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.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 0 engines installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry.
    We estimate 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.
    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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

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 that this AD:

    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) 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.
