44 CFR Part 65

[Docket ID FEMA-2013-0002]

Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Modified Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) are
finalized for the communities listed below. These modified BFEs will be
used to calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and
their contents.

DATES: The effective dates for these modified BFEs are indicated on the
following table and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in
effect for the listed communities prior to this date.

ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final determinations

listed below of the modified BFEs for each community listed. These
modified BFEs have been published in newspapers of local circulation
and ninety (90) days have elapsed since that publication. The Deputy
Associate Administrator for Mitigation has resolved any appeals
resulting from this notification.
    The modified BFEs are not listed for each community in this notice.
However, this final rule includes the address of the Chief Executive
Officer of the community where the modified BFE determinations are
available for inspection.
    The modified BFEs are made pursuant to section 206 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    These modified BFEs, together with the floodplain management
criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
    These modified BFEs are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after these
elevations are made final, and for the contents in those buildings. The
changes in BFEs are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This final rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not been
prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This final rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This final rule meets
the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

Proposed Rules

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0228; Directorate Identifier 2012-NE-09-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Division 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
certain Pratt & Whitney Division PW4000-94'' and PW4000-100'' turbofan
engines having a 1st stage high-pressure turbine (HPT) seal support,
part number (P/N) 55K601 or P/N 50K532, installed. This proposed AD was
prompted by 58 reports of cracked 1st stage HPT air seal rings,
including 15 in-flight engine shutdowns. This proposed AD would require
installation of a redesigned 1st stage HPT seal support that was
introduced to the PW4000 engine fleet through service bulletins issued
in the year 2000. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the
1st stage HPT air seal ring, which could lead to an internal oil fire,
uncontained engine failure, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 19, 2012.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    We received 58 reports of cracked 1st stage HPT air seal rings,
including 15 in-flight engine shutdowns, in certain PW4000-94'' and
PW4000-100'' turbofan engines. Pratt & Whitney's investigation has
revealed that vibratory excitation causes the 1st stage HPT air seal
ring to crack when a 1st stage HPT seal support, P/N 55K601 or P/N
50K532, is installed. Installing the redesigned 1st stage HPT seal
support, P/N 50K153, that was introduced to the PW4000 engine fleet for
another reason through service bulletins issued in the year 2000 also
prevents cracking of the 1st stage HPT air seal ring. Cracking of the
1st stage HPT air seal ring, if not corrected, could result in failure
of the 1st stage HPT air seal ring, which could lead to an internal oil
fire, uncontained engine failure, and damage to the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin (SB) No. PW4ENG 72-
721, Revision 2, dated November 30, 2011, and SB No. PW4G-100-72-166,
Revision 2, dated December 2, 2011. The service information describes
procedures for replacing the 1st stage HPT seal support, P/N 55K601, or
P/N 50K532, with a redesigned 1st stage HPT seal support, P/N 50K153.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously. This proposed AD would
also require fluorescent-penetrant-inspection or eddy current-
inspection of the 1st stage HPT air seal ring for cracks, and replacing
it if found cracked.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 446 Pratt & Whitney
Division PW4000-94'' and PW4000-100'' turbofan engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 3
work-hours to perform the actions

required by this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Required parts would cost about $45,723 per engine. Based on these
figures, we estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be
$20,506,188.

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),
    (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.

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
airworthiness directive (AD):

Pratt & Whitney Division: Docket No. FAA-2012-0228; Directorate
Identifier 2012-NE-09-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by June 19, 2012.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to the following Pratt & Whitney Division
turbofan engines:
    (1) PW4000-94'' engine models PW4050, PW4052, PW4056, PW4152,
PW4156, PW4650, PW4060, PW4060A, PW4060C, PW4062, PW4062A, PW4156A,
PW4158, PW4160, PW4460, and PW4462, including models with any dash-
number suffix, with a 1st stage high-pressure turbine (HPT) seal
support part number (P/N) 55K601 or P/N 50K532, installed.
    (2) PW4000-100'' engine models PW4164, PW4164C, PW4164C/B,
PW4168, and PW4168A with a 1st stage HPT seal support P/N 55K601 or
P/N 50K532, installed.

(d) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by 58 reports of cracked 1st stage HPT air
seal rings, including 15 in-flight engine shutdowns. We are issuing
this AD to prevent failure of the 1st stage HPT air seal ring, which
could lead to an internal oil fire, uncontained engine failure, and
damage to the airplane.

(e) Compliance

    Comply with this AD the next time that the engine is separated
at the M-flange and the HPT module is removed from the engine.
    (1) Remove the 1st stage HPT seal support, P/N 55K601 or P/N
50K532, from service and replace it with a 1st stage HPT seal
support, P/N 50K153.
    (2) Remove the 1st stage HPT air seal ring from the engine and
fluorescent-penetrant-inspect, or eddy current-inspect, it for
cracks. If found cracked, remove the 1st stage HPT air seal ring
from service.

(f) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)
