33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2015-0767]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Hood Canal, Port Gamble, WA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation; extension and
modification.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has extended and modified a temporary
deviation from the operating schedule that governs the Hood Canal
Floating Drawbridge across Hood Canal (Admiralty Inlet), mile 5.0, near
Port Gamble, WA. The temporary deviation is now effective until 7 p.m.
on October 19, 2015 and allows the bridge to open the draw span half-
way, 300 feet; as opposed to all the way, which is 600 feet, with at
least one hour's notice and only at or near slack tide.

DATES: The temporary deviation published in the Federal Register on
August 21, 2015 (80 FR 50768), and as modified herein, is effective
from September 25, 2015, until 7 p.m. on October 19, 2015.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG-2015-0767] is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation. You may also visit the Docket
Management Facility in Room W12-140 on the ground floor of the
Department of Transportation West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 21, 2015 the Coast Guard published
a notice of temporary deviation at 80 FR 50768 from the operating
schedule that governs the Hood Canal Floating Drawbridge across Hood
Canal (Admiralty Inlet), mile 5.0, near Port Gamble, WA allowing the
bridge to open the draw span half-way, 300 feet; as opposed to all the
way, which is 600 feet. The Coast Guard is extending the end date of
the previously published temporary deviation until 7 p.m. on October
19, 2015 as additional time is necessary for the Washington State
Department of Transportation to complete the replacement of the
bridge's draw span anchors. The temporary deviation is also modified to
require opening with at least one hour's notice and only at or near
slack tide. The former clarifies that the requirement for at least one
hour's notice from the normal operating schedule is still in place
during the temporary deviation and the latter is necessary to ensure
the bridge does not move when opened during draw span anchor
replacement. All other information provided in the temporary deviation
published on August 21, 2015 at 80 FR 50768 continues to apply.

    Dated: September 22, 2015.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP20-493-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of
the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed; East 300
Upgrade Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the East 300 Upgrade Project, proposed by Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company, L.L.C. (Tennessee) in the above-referenced docket. Tennessee
requests authorization to modify two existing compressor stations and
construct one new compressor station in Pennsylvania and New Jersey to
create 115 million cubic feet per day of firm transportation capacity
on Tennessee's existing 300 Line for Consolidated Edison Company of New
York, Inc.
    The final EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the East 300 Upgrade Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA). The EIS is not a decision document. It presents Commission
staff's independent analysis of the environmental issues for the
Commission to consider when addressing the merits of all issues in this
proceeding.
    The final EIS responds to comments that were received on the
Commission's February 19, 2021 environmental assessment (EA) and July
2, 2021 draft EIS \1\ and discloses downstream greenhouse gas emissions
for the project. With the exception of climate change impacts, the FERC
staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with the
mitigation measures recommended in this EIS, would not result in
significant environmental impacts. FERC staff continues to be unable to
determine significance with regards to climate change impacts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The project's EA is available on eLibrary under accession
no. 20210219-3034 and the draft EIS is available under accession no.
20210702-3037.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The final EIS incorporates the above-referenced EA, which addressed
the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation
of the following project facilities:
     Modifications at existing Compressor Station 321 in
Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, including the installation of one
Solar Taurus 70

turbine with an International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
rating of 11,107 horsepower and auxiliary facilities;
     modifications at existing Compressor Station 325 in Sussex
County, New Jersey, including installation of one Solar Titan 130
turbine with an ISO rating of 20,500 horsepower and auxiliary
facilities; and
     construction of the new Compressor Station 327 equipped
with a single 19,000-horsepower electric-driven compressor unit and
associated auxiliary facilities in Passaic County, New Jersey.
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed East 300 Upgrade
Project to federal, state, and local government representatives and
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
Native American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other
interested individuals and groups; and newspapers and libraries in the
project area. The final EIS is only available in electronic format. It
may be viewed and downloaded from the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on
the natural gas environmental documents page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). In
addition, the final EIS may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on
the FERC's website. Click on the eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search), select ``General Search,'' and

summary of interest.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

     1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
     2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    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 your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have a typical or disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticides discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

     EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 174 or part 180 for residues of pesticide
chemicals in or on various food commodities. EPA has determined that
the pesticide petitions described in this notice contain the data or
information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not
fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or
whether the data support granting of the pesticide petitions.
Additional data may be needed before EPA can make a final determination
on these pesticide petitions.
     Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this notice, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available on-line at http://
www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)),
EPA is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petition may be obtained
through the petition summary referenced in this unit.

New Tolerances

    1. PPs 2E6426 and 9E7625. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0843). The Interregional
Research Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201W,
Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part
180 for residues of the herbicide linuron, (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-
methoxy-1-methylurea), and its metabolites convertible to 3,4-
dichloroaniline, calculated as linuron, in or on pea, dry at 0.07 parts
per million (ppm); parsley, leaves at 2.5 ppm; and parsley, dried
leaves at 7.0 ppm for PP 9E7625; and horseradish at 0.050 ppm for PP
2E6426. Adequate enforcement methods are available for the
determination of linuron in plant and animal commodities. The Pesticide
Analytical Manual (PAM) Vol. II, lists a colorimetric method (Method I,
Bleidner et. al.,) and a paper chromatographic method (Method II).
Residues of diuron may interfere in Method I. A modified version of
Method I, which includes a cellulose column step to separate linuron
from diuron, is currently the preferred method for the enforcement of
tolerances. Both of these methods determine linuron and all metabolites
hydrolyzable to 3,4-dichloroaniline and have limits of detection of
0.05 ppm. Contact: Laura Nollen,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>    2. PP 9E7573. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0823). Syngenta Crop Protection,
Inc., P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419, proposes to establish a
tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide
difenoconazole, 1-[2-[2-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenyl]-4-methyl-1,3-
dioxolan-2-ylmethyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole, in or on mango at 0.09 parts
per million (ppm) and waxapple at 1.5 ppm. The practical analytical
method (AG-575B) was submitted for detecting and measuring levels of
difenoconazole in or on food with a limit of quantification (LOQ) that
allows monitoring of food with residues at or above the levels set in
the proposed tolerances. Method REM 147.08 is also available for
enforcement method, for the determination of residues of difenoconazole
in crops. Residues are qualified by liquid chromatography/mass
spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Contact: Rosemary Kearns,

CFR part 180 for residues of the herbicide halosulfuron-methyl, methyl
3-chloro-5-[[[[(4,6-dimethoxy-2-
pyrimidinyl)amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]-1-methyl-1 H-pyrazole-4-
carboxylate, and its metabolites and degradates (compliance with the
tolerance level specified is to be determined by measuring only those
halosulfuron-methyl residues convertible to 3-chloro-1-methyl-5-
sulfamoylpyrazole-4-carboxylic acid, expressed as the stoichiometric
equivalent of halosulfuron-methyl) in or on pea and bean, succulent
shelled, subgroup 6B; pea and bean, dried shelled, except soybean,
subgroup 6C; vegetables, tuberous and corm, subgroup 1C; bushberry,
subgroup 13-07B; apple; rhubarb; and okra at 0.05 ppm. A practical
analytical method, gas chromatography with a nitrogen-specific
detector, is available for enforcement purposes. The limit of detection
is 0.003 ppm. Contact: Sidney Jackson,<PHONE_NUMBER>;
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>     4. PPs 9E7588 and 9F7589. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0636). Bayer
CropScience LP., 2 T.W. Alexander Dr., Research Triangle Park, NC
27709, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for
residues of the herbicide indaziflam, N-[(1R,2S)-2,3-dihydro-2,6-
dimethyl-1H-inden-1-yl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine]-6-(1-fluoroethyl)]
and its fluoroethyl-indaziflam metabolite, in or on fruit, pome, group
11; fruit, citrus, group 10; fruit, stone, group 12; nut, tree, group
14; pistachio; grape; and olive at 0.01 ppm; almond, hulls at 0.2 ppm
PP 9F7589; and the import tolerance for sugarcane, sugar, refined at
0.01 ppm PP 9E7588. Indaziflam residues are quantified in raw
agricultural commodities by high pressure liquid chromatography/triple
stage quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) using the stable
isotopically labeled analytes as internal standards. The LOQ of each
analyte was 0.005 ppm for all commodities. Contact: Beth Benbow, (703)
347-8072<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    5. PP 9E7604. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0813). Interregional Research
Project No. 4, 500 College Road East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ, 08540-
6635, in cooperation with Bayer CropScience, Research Triangle Park, NC
27709, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for
residues of the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium (butanoic acid, 2-amino-
4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-monoammonium salt) and its metabolites, 2-
acetamido-4-methylphosphinico-butanoic acid and 3-methylphosphinico-
propionic acid, expressed as 2-amino-4-
(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)butanoic acid equivalents, in or on corn,
sweet, kernel plus cob with husks removed at 0.2 ppm; corn, sweet,
forage at 4.0 ppm; and corn, sweet, stover at 6.0 ppm. The enforcement
analytical method utilizes gas chromatography for detecting and
measuring levels of glufosinate-ammonium and its metabolites with a
general limit of quantification of 0.05 ppm. This method allows
detection of residues at or above the proposed tolerances. Contact:
Sidney Jackson,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>     6. PP 9E7607. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0814). The Interregional Research
Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ
08540, in cooperation with Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc., 410 Swing
Rd., Greensboro, NC 27419, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR
part 180 for residues of the herbicide, S-metolachlor,S-2-chloro-N-(2-
ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl) acetamide, its R-
enantiomer, and its metabolites, determined as the derivatives, 2-[(2-
ethyl-6-methylphenyl)amino]-1-propanol and 4-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-
2-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-morpholinone, each expressed as the parent
compound, in or on carrot at 0.3 ppm; cucumber, okra, sesame seed, and
sorghum sweet, at 0.1 ppm; Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B, and
turnip, greens at 1.2 ppm; melon, subgroup 9A, and caneberry, subgroup
13-07A at 0.08 ppm; blueberry, lowbush at 1.4 ppm; bushberry, subgroup
13-07B at 0.15 ppm; onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A at 0.1 ppm; and onion,
green, subgroup 3-07B at 2.0 ppm. The Pesticide Analytical Manual (PAM)
Vol. II, Pesticide Regulation 180.368 lists a GC/NPD method (Method 1)
for determining residues in/on plants and a gas chromatography/mass
spectrum detector (GC/MSD) method for determining residues in livestock
commodities. These methods determine residues of S-metolachlor and its
metabolites as either CGA-37913 or CGA-49751 following acid hydrolysis.
The LOQ for the method is 0.03 ppm for CGA-37913 and 0.05 ppm for CGA-
49751. Syngenta has also developed a chiral specific analytical method
to allow for the determination of residues that are specific to S-
metolachlor. It is this chiral specific method that Syngenta and IR-4
proposes for future use as the analytical enforcement method in support
of these requested tolerances. Syngenta No. 1848-01 was used in several
of the studies in this petition to analyze agricultural commodities.
The latter chiral specific method is the same as the updated tolerance
enforcement method, except that chiral chromatography and LC/MS/MS are
used to separate and quantitate the hydrolysis products SYN-506357 (s-
configured enantiomer of CGA-37913) and SYN-508500 (s-configured
enantiomer of CGA-49751). Contact: Sidney Jackson,<PHONE_NUMBER>;

residues of the fungicide flutolanil, N-(3-(1-methylethoxy)phenyl)-2-
(trifluoromethyl)benzamide and its metabolites converted to 2-
(trifluoromethyl) benzoic acid and calculated as flutolanil in or on
ginseng at 3.5 ppm; vegetable, Brassica, leafy, group 5 at 0.11 ppm;
and turnip, greens at 0.11 ppm. Residues of flutolanil and M-4 are
extracted from macerated samples with acetone or a mixture of methanol
and water. For cabbage and ginseng, an aliquot of the extract is
diluted with water and analyzed using high performance liquid
chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). For
broccoli and mustard greens, the acetone extract is diluted with water
and the residues are partitioned into a mixture of ethyl acetate and

dichloromethane. This solvent is dispelled and the residue is
reconstituted in acetone for purification through Florisil. The
purified eluent is taken to dryness and the residues are reconstituted
in a mixture of acetonitrile and water. Residues of flutolanil and M-4
are chromatographed and quantified using an HPLC-MS/MS. The LOQ is 0.05
ppm for each flutolanil and M-4. Contact: Laura Nollen,<PHONE_NUMBER>;

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), ``NSPS for New Residential Wood
Heaters (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAA) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1176.11,
OMB Control No. 2060-0161 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). This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which
is currently approved through January 31, 2014. Public comments were
previously requested via the Federal Register (78 FR 33409) on June 4,
2013 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an

number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: Manufacturers and accredited laboratories are required to
make several one-time and periodic reports necessary for the
implementation and enforcement of the rule. Also, laboratories,
manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are required to retain
certain records.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: New residential wood heaters.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart AAA)
    Estimated number of respondents: 947 (total).
    Frequency of response: Occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 11,749 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,885,287 (per year), includes $1,736,075 in
both annualized capital/startup and operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total
estimated respondent and Agency burdens as currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in burdens from the most
recently-approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of sources
subject to the standard, and is not due to any program changes. The
number of sources has been increased in this ICR to reflect more
current information obtained during development of proposed revisions
to the NSPS.
    There is also an increase in both respondent and Agency burden
costs

from the most-recently approved ICR due to the use of updated labor
rates. This ICR references labor rates from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics to calculate respondent burden costs, and references labor
rates from OPM to calculate Agency burden costs.
    There is an increase in both capital/startup and O&M costs as
compared to the previous ICR; however, this change also is not due to
any program changes. Similar to the respondent burden adjustments, the
change is due to the increased number of sources estimated to be
subject to the standard, and is not due to any program changes.

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0364; Directorate Identifier 2009-NE-27-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 700 and
Trent 800 Series 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 the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as: In completing a review of Engine Manual repair/acceptance
limits for titanium compressor shafts, Rolls-Royce has found the
specified limits to be incorrect such that the shot peened surface
layer at life critical features (the axial dovetail slots) may have
been inadvertently removed in-service. Removal of the shot peened layer
results in increased vulnerability of the part to tensile stresses,
which could reduce the life of the shaft to below the published life
limits.
    We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the intermediate-
pressure (IP) and high-pressure (HP) shaft, which could result in an
overspeed condition, possible uncontained disc failure and damage to
the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 24, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2009-0021 (Corrected February 9, 2009), dated
February 6, 2009 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct
an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    In completing a review of Engine Manual repair/acceptance limits
for titanium compressor shafts, Rolls-Royce has found the specified
limits to be incorrect such that the shot peened surface layer at
life critical features (the axial dovetail slots) may have been
inadvertently removed in-service. Removal of the shot peened layer
results in increased vulnerability of the part to tensile stresses,
which could reduce the life of the shaft to below the published life
limits. The acceptable limits for material loss on these surfaces
have now been corrected in the Engine Manual.
    This AD identifies shafts for which such dressing operations
have been known to have been carried out and requires that an
inspection for compliance with the corrected Engine Manual limits be
accomplished and that the shafts be dispositioned accordingly.

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

Relevant Service Information

    Rolls-Royce plc has issued Alert Service Bulletin RB.211-72-AG086,
dated December 4, 2008. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of the
United Kingdom, and is approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the United Kingdom, they have
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.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 12 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 8 work-hours per product to comply with this
proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required
parts would cost about $15,000 per product. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $188,160.
Our cost estimate is exclusive of possible warranty coverage.

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, 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:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Rolls-Royce plc: Docket No. FAA-2010-0364; Directorate Identifier
2009-NE-27-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by May 24, 2010.

Affected Airworthiness Directives (ADs)

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc model (RR) RB211 Trent
768-60, 772-60, 772B-60, 875-17, 877-17, 884-17, 884B-17, 892-17,
892B-17, and 895-17 turbofan engines that have a compressor shaft
listed by part number and serial number in Table 1 of this AD. These
engines are installed on, but not limited to, Airbus A330 series and
Boeing 777 series airplanes.

Reason

    (d) This AD results from a review of engine manual repair/
acceptance limits for titanium compressor shafts by RR. We are
issuing this AD to prevent failure of the intermediate-pressure (IP)
and high-pressure (HP) shaft, which could result in an overspeed
condition, possible uncontained disc failure and damage to the
airplane.

Actions and Compliance

    (e) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Perform a one-time, piece-part, full-focused inspection of
the IP and HP compressor shafts listed by part number and serial
number in Table 1 of this AD before exceeding the compliance period
specified in Table 1 of this AD.
    (2) Guidance on full-focused inspections and acceptance limits
can be found in the current, applicable RR engine manual.
