Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines, LLC
Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain International Aero Engines, LLC (IAE LLC) PW1122G-JM, PW1124G1-
JM, PW1124G-JM, PW1127G1-JM, PW1127GA-JM, PW1127G-JM, PW1129G-JM,
PW1130G-JM, PW1133GA-JM, and PW1133G-JM model turbofan engines. This AD
was prompted by an analysis of an event involving an International Aero
Engines AG (IAE AG) V2533-A5 model turbofan engine, which experienced
an uncontained failure of a high-pressure turbine (HPT) 1st-stage disk
that resulted in high-energy debris penetrating the engine cowling.
This AD requires performing an ultrasonic inspection (USI) of the HPT
1st-stage disk and HPT 2nd-stage disk and, depending on the results of
the inspections, replacement of the HPT 1st-stage disk or HPT 2nd-stage
disk. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 7, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 7,
2022.

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 certain IAE LLC
PW1122G-JM, PW1124G1-JM, PW1124G-JM, PW1127G1-JM, PW1127GA-JM, PW1127G-
JM, PW1129G-JM, PW1130G-JM, PW1133GA-JM, and PW1133G-JM model turbofan
engines. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on March 24, 2022
(87 FR 16659). The NPRM was prompted by an analysis of an event on
March 18, 2020, in which an Airbus Model A321-231 airplane, powered by
IAE AG V2533-A5 model turbofan engines, experienced an uncontained HPT
1st-stage disk failure that resulted in high-energy debris penetrating
the engine cowling. Based on a preliminary analysis of this event, on
March 21, 2020, the FAA issued Emergency AD 2020-07-51 (followed by
publication in the Federal Register on April 13, 2020, as a Final Rule,
Request for Comments (85 FR 20402)), which requires the removal from
service of certain HPT 1st-stage disks installed on IAE AG V2522-A5,
V2524-A5, V2525-D5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5,
and V2533-A5 model turbofan engines.
    Based on the root cause analysis performed since that March 2020
event, Pratt & Whitney (PW) identified a different population of HPT
1st-stage disks and HPT 2nd-stage disks that are subject to the same
unsafe condition identified in AD 2020-07-51. In response, the FAA
issued AD 2021-19-10 on September 10, 2021 (86 FR 50610), which
requires the removal from service of certain HPT 1st-stage disks and
HPT 2nd-stage disks installed on IAE LLC PW1122G-JM, PW1124G1-JM,
PW1124G-JM, PW1127G1-JM, PW1127GA-JM, PW1127G-JM, PW1129G-JM, PW1130G-
JM, PW1133GA-JM, and PW1133G-JM model turbofan engines.
    Since the FAA issued AD 2021-19-10, PW identified another
subpopulation of HPT 1st-stage disks and HPT 2nd-stage disks that
require inspection and possible removal from service. Included in this
additional subpopulation of HPT 1st-stage disks and HPT 2nd-stage disks
are those installed on the model turbofan engines affected by this AD.
In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require the performance of a USI of
the HPT 1st-stage disk and HPT 2nd-stage disk and, depending on the
results of the inspections, replacement of the HPT 1st-stage disk or
HPT 2nd-stage disk. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from four commenters. The commenters were
Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), All Nippon Airways
Co., Ltd. (ANA), Delta Air Lines, Inc. (DAL), and Lufthansa Technik AG
(Lufthansa). The following presents the comments received on the NPRM
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Revision to the Service Information References

    Since the FAA issued the NPRM, PW notified the FAA that a new
revision to

the service information was available. PW published PW Service Bulletin
(SB) PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8,
2022, which changes the applicability section of the SB from a range of
engine serial numbers (ESNs) to a list of HPT 1st-stage disk and HPT
2nd-stage disk part numbers (P/Ns).
    The FAA has updated this AD to reference PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-
0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022. The FAA has also
added paragraph (i), Credit for Previous Actions, to this AD to allow
credit for performing the USI before the effective date of this AD
using PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 001, dated
September 13, 2021. This change places no additional burden on
operators.

Request To Include Previously Issued and Future Revisions of Service
Information Not Incorporated by Reference

    ANA and Lufthansa requested that the FAA add ``or earlier'' to
paragraph (g)(1) of this AD to allow for the use of previously issued
revisions of PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 005,
dated July 22, 2021 (PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D). ANA
reasoned that PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D is not incorporated
by reference, nor does the NPRM reference PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-
00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002 through 004.
    Lufthansa reasoned that narrowing the required modification to
Issue No: 005 of PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D assumes that
engines modified using earlier versions of the SB do not satisfy the
requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. Further, Lufthansa stated
that there are engines that have been modified using earlier versions
of PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D. In addition, Lufthansa noted
that other paragraphs in the required actions do not refer to Issue No:
005 of PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D, which could confuse
operators when interpreting the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of
this AD.
    DAL requested that the FAA revise paragraph (g)(1) of this AD to
add ``or later'' to PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D. DAL reasoned
that any subsequent revision of PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D
would apply to this AD.
    The FAA agrees that clarification is necessary and has revised
paragraph (g)(1) of this AD to remove the issue number and date for PW
SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D.

Request To Revise the Applicability

    DAL requested that the FAA update paragraph (c) of this AD to
remove reference to ESNs. DAL commented that the NPRM includes only a
range of ESNs in the applicability, which is derived from PW SB
PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 001, dated September 13,
2021. DAL reasoned that by limiting the applicability to the range of
ESNs, this AD would not account for the possibility of installing an
affected HPT 1st-stage disk or HPT 2nd-stage disk onto any engine
outside the ESN range that had an earlier than planned shop visit.
    In response to this comment, the FAA has revised paragraph (c) of
this AD, to remove ``with engine serial numbers P770101 through
P772647'' and added, ``with an installed: (1) High-pressure turbine
(HPT) 1st-stage disk, part numbers (P/Ns) 30G4201, 30G6201, or 30G7301;
and (2) HPT 2nd-stage disk, P/Ns 30G3902, 30G5502, or 30G6602.''

Request To Allow Future Revisions of Required Service Information

    DAL requested that the FAA revise paragraph (g) of this AD to add
``or later'' to PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002,
dated July 8, 2022, to allow for the use of future approved revisions
of PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8,
2022. DAL reasoned that any subsequent revision would still apply to
this AD. In addition, DAL stated that this change would include
additional serial-numbered disks added to Table 2 of PW SB PW1000G-C-
72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022, in the
effectivity of this AD.
    The FAA disagrees with the request to revise this AD to allow for
the use of future approved revisions of PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-
930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022. Future revisions of PW SB
PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022,
have not yet been published by the manufacturer or reviewed by the FAA.
Any operator may request an alternative method of compliance to the
requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD if future revisions of PW SB
PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022, are
published. Additionally, if future revisions of PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-
0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022, are published by
the manufacturer and approved by the FAA, the FAA may consider further
rulemaking at that time. The FAA did not change this AD as a result of
this comment.

Request To Clarify Inspections for Affected HPT 1st-Stage and HPT 2nd-
Stage Disks Removed from Service

    DAL requested that the FAA revise paragraph (g) of this AD to
clarify that affected HPT 1st-stage disks and HPT 2nd-stage disks
identified as scrap during the engine shop visit do not require the
USI. DAL commented that the actions proposed would require the
performance of a USI on affected disks even if those disks are scrapped
during an engine shop visit.
    The FAA disagrees that operators are required to perform a USI on
an HPT 1st-stage disk or HPT 2nd-stage disk that has been removed from
service. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.7, anyone who operates a product
that does not meet the requirements of an applicable AD is in violation
of this section. As such, the actions of this AD are only required if a
part is returned to service. The FAA did not change this AD as a result
of this comment.

Request Clarification of Certificate of Conformance from PW's Non-
Destructive Test (NDT) Suppliers

    DAL requested that the FAA revise this AD to allow credit for the
accomplishment of PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002,
dated July 8, 2022, if accomplished by PW or PW-approved NDT suppliers
(original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or aftermarket). DAL commented
that PW and PW-approved NDT suppliers provide Certificates of
Conformance referring to USI Codes 1 and 45S per OEM requirements
rather than the Non-Destructive Inspection Procedures (NDIPs) (NDIP-
1230, NDIP-1232, NDIP-1231, or NDIP-1233) referenced in the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs 9.A. through 9.D, of PW SB
PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022. DAL
reasoned that PW or PW-approved NDT suppliers may provide an
airworthiness tag instead of a Certificate of Conformance. Further, DAL
noted that the new airworthiness tag and other documentation provided
with the HPT 1st-stage disk or HPT 2nd-stage disk may not reference PW
SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022,
and disks may not have the part markings required by PW SB PW1000G-C-
72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022. DAL stated
that this limited documentation has and is currently being provided for
the HPT 1st-stage disks and HPT 2nd-stage disks affected by PW SB
PW1000G-C-72-00-

0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022. Some of these
affected HPT 1st-stage disks and HPT 2nd-stage disks are currently
installed on engines that are in service or being installed during
engine shop visits.
    The FAA agrees that clarification is necessary and has added
paragraph (h)(1)(v) to this AD, which adds the following definition of
a part eligible for installation: ``Any HPT 1st-stage disk or HPT 2nd-
stage disk with a certificate of conformance that shows ``PW1000G-C-72-
00-0188-00A-930A-D,'' ``1 CODE 45S,'' or identified by part marking
``21CC332'' or ``SB 72-0188.''

Request To Expand the Use of a Part Eligible for Installation

    DAL requested that the FAA expand the use of a part eligible for
installation by adding the following required action as paragraph
(g)(5) of this AD: ``Replacement of HPT 1st-stage and HPT 2nd-stage
disks: For International Aero Engines, LLC PW1122G-JM, PW1124G1-JM,
PW1124G-JM, PW1127G1-JM, PW1127GA-JM, PW1127G-JM, PW1129G-JM, PW1130G-
JM, PW1133GA-JM, and PW1133G-JM model turbofan engines, after the
effective date of this AD, if the HPT 1st-stage and/or the HPT 2nd-
stage disks require replacement, replace with a part eligible for
installation.'' DAL reasoned that the NPRM requires the current
definition to be used when the HPT 1st-stage and HPT 2nd-stage disks
fail the USI required by paragraph (g)(4) of this AD and does not
ensure future de-modification is avoided. Further, DAL stated that the
part eligible for installation definition should also address any
scenario when the HPT 1st-stage and HPT 2nd-stage disks are replaced
for any other reason.
    In response to this comment, the FAA has added paragraph (i),
Installation Prohibition, to this final rule.

Request To Revise the Definition of a Part Eligible for Installation

    DAL requested that the FAA revise the definition of a part eligible
for installation. DAL pointed out that if an affected HPT 1st-stage
disk or HPT 2nd-stage disk fails the USI, the NPRM, as proposed, would
not allow installation of an HPT 1st-stage or HPT 2nd-stage disk that
was upgraded using PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D (HPT Block D
upgrade), which does not require an inspection as specified in
paragraphs (g)(2) or (3) of this AD. DAL also mentioned that the
upgraded HPT 1st-stage disk or HPT 2nd-stage disk should still be
allowed for installation. DAL requested that the FAA add the following
additional definitions to paragraph (h)(1) of this AD:
    ``(iii) Any HPT 1st-stage disk that has incorporated PW SB PW1000G-
C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D and does not require an inspection per
paragraph (g)(2) of this AD.
    (iv) Any HPT 2nd-stage disk that has incorporated PW SB PW1000G-C-
72-00-0112-00A-930A-D and does not require an inspection per paragraph
(g)(3) of this AD.''
    The FAA agrees with the request and has added paragraphs
(h)(1)(iii) and (iv) to this AD.

Request To Correct the Definition of a Part Eligible for Installation

    DAL requested that the FAA correct paragraphs (h)(1)(i) and (ii) of
this AD by changing the language from: ``the USI required by paragraphs
(g)(1)(i) and (g)(2) of this AD'' to ``the USI required by paragraphs
(g)(1)(i) or (g)(2) of this AD'' and ``the USI required by paragraphs
(g)(1)(ii) and (g)(3) of this AD'' to ``the USI required by paragraphs
(g)(1)(ii) or (g)(3) of this AD.'' DAL reasoned the affected disks
could not concurrently comply with both scenarios (SB incorporated and
not incorporated).
    The FAA agrees for the reasons provided and has revised paragraphs
(h)(1)(i) and (ii) of this AD accordingly.

Support for the AD

    ALPA expressed support for the AD.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this 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. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on
any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Pratt & Whitney SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-
D, Issue No: 002, dated July 8, 2022. This service information
specifies procedures for performing a USI of the HPT 1st-stage disk and
the HPT 2nd-stage disk, identified by P/N and serial number, installed
on IAE LLC PW1124G1-JM, PW1127G-JM, PW1127GA-JM, PW1129G-JM, PW1130G-
JM, PW1133G-JM, and PW1133GA-JM model turbofan 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 PW SB PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D, Issue No:
005, dated July 22, 2021. This service information describes procedures
for replacing the HPT 1st-stage disk, HPT 2nd-stage disk, and rotating
hardware. This service information also increases the life limit of the
HPT hardware by introducing a new configuration of rotating hardware.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 189 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacement that would be required based on the results of the
inspection. The agency has no way of determining the number of aircraft
that might need this replacement:

                                               On-Condition Costs

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

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected operators.

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

                   SUBCHAPTER I--CONTROL OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES

 Sec. 2605. Regulation of hazardous chemical substances and  mixtures

 (a) Scope of regulation

     If the Administrator finds that there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, or disposal of a chemical substance or mixture, or that any combination of such activities, presents or will present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, the Administrator shall by rule apply one or more of the following requirements to such substance or mixture to the extent necessary to protect adequately against such risk using the least burdensome requirements:
         (1) A requirement (A) prohibiting the manufacturing, processing, or distribution in
     commerce of such substance or mixture, or (B) limiting the amount of such substance or
     mixture which may be manufactured, processed, or distributed in commerce.
         (2) A requirement--
             (A) prohibiting the manufacture, processing, or distribution in commerce of such
         substance or mixture for (i) a particular use or (ii) a particular use in a concentration in
         excess of a level specified by the Administrator in the rule imposing the requirement, or
             (B) limiting the amount of such substance or mixture which may be manufactured,
         processed, or distributed in commerce for (i) a particular use or (ii) a particular use in a
         concentration in excess of a level specified by the Administrator in the rule
         imposing the requirement.

         (3) A requirement that such substance or mixture or any article containing such substance
     or mixture be marked with or accompanied by clear and adequate warnings and instructions
     with respect to its use, distribution in commerce, or disposal or with respect to any
     combination of such activities. The form and content of such warnings and instructions shall
     be prescribed by the Administrator.
         (4) A requirement that manufacturers and processors of such substance or mixture make
     and retain records of the processes used to manufacture or process such substance or mixture
     and monitor or conduct tests which are reasonable and necessary to assure compliance with
     the requirements of any rule applicable under this subsection.
         (5) A requirement prohibiting or otherwise regulating any manner or method of commercial
     use of such substance or mixture.
         (6)(A) A requirement prohibiting or otherwise regulating any manner or method of disposal
     of such substance or mixture, or of any article containing such substance or mixture, by its
     manufacturer or processor or by any other person who uses, or disposes of, it for commercial
     purposes.
         (B) A requirement under subparagraph (A) may not require any person to take any action
     which would be in violation of any law or requirement of, or in effect for, a State or political
     subdivision, and shall require each person subject to it to notify each State and political
     subdivision in which a required disposal may occur of such disposal.
         (7) A requirement directing manufacturers or processors of such substance or mixture (A)
     to give notice of such unreasonable risk of injury to distributors in commerce of such
     substance or mixture and, to the extent reasonably ascertainable, to other persons in
     possession of such substance or mixture or exposed to such substance or mixture, (B) to give
     public notice of such risk of injury, and (C) to replace or repurchase such substance or
     mixture as elected by the person to which the requirement is directed.

 Any requirement (or combination of requirements) imposed under this subsection may be limited in application to specified geographic areas.

 (b) Quality control

     If the Administrator has a reasonable basis to conclude that a particular manufacturer or processor is manufacturing or processing a chemical substance or mixture in a manner which unintentionally causes the chemical substance or mixture to present or which will cause it to
 present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment--
         (1) the Administrator may by order require such manufacturer or processor to submit a
     description of the relevant quality control procedures followed in the manufacturing or
     processing of such chemical substance or mixture; and
         (2) if the Administrator determines--
             (A) that such quality control procedures are inadequate to prevent the chemical
         substance or mixture from presenting such risk of injury, the Administrator may order the
         manufacturer or processor to revise such quality control procedures to the extent necessary
         to remedy such inadequacy; or
             (B) that the use of such quality control procedures has resulted in the distribution in
         commerce of chemical substances or mixtures which present an unreasonable risk of injury
         to health or the environment, the Administrator may order the manufacturer or processor
         to (i) give notice of such risk to processors or distributors in commerce of any such
         substance or mixture, or to both, and, to the extent reasonably ascertainable, to any other
         person in possession of or exposed to any such substance, (ii) to give public notice of such
         risk, and (iii) to provide such replacement or repurchase of any such substance or mixture
         as is necessary to adequately protect health or the environment.

 A determination under subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (2) shall be made on the record after opportunity for hearing in accordance with section 554 of title 5. Any manufacturer or processor subject to a requirement to replace or repurchase a chemical substance or mixture may elect either to replace or repurchase the substance or mixture and shall take either such action in the manner prescribed by the Administrator.

 (c) Promulgation of subsection (a) rules

     (1) In promulgating any rule under subsection (a) of this section with respect to a chemical
 substance or mixture, the Administrator shall consider and publish a statement with respect to--
         (A) the effects of such substance or mixture on health and the magnitude of the exposure
     of human beings to such substance or mixture,
         (B) the effects of such substance or mixture on the environment and the magnitude of the
     exposure of the environment to such substance or mixture,
         (C) the benefits of such substance or mixture for various uses and the availability of
     substitutes for such uses, and
         (D) the reasonably ascertainable economic consequences of the rule, after consideration of
     the effect on the national economy, small business, technological innovation, the environment,
     and public health.

 If the Administrator determines that a risk of injury to health or the environment could be eliminated or reduced to a sufficient extent by actions taken under another Federal law (or laws) administered in whole or in part by the Administrator, the Administrator may not promulgate a
 rule under subsection (a) of this section to protect against such risk of injury unless the Administrator finds, in the Administrator's discretion, that it is in the public interest to protect against such risk under this chapter. In making such a finding the Administrator shall consider (i) all relevant aspects of the risk, as determined by the Administrator in the Administrator's discretion, (ii) a comparison of the estimated costs of complying with actions taken under this
 chapter and under such law (or laws), and (iii) the relative efficiency of actions under this chapter and under such law (or laws) to protect against such risk of injury.
     (2) When prescribing a rule under subsection (a) the Administrator shall proceed in accordance with section 553 of title 5 (without regard to any reference in such section to sections 556 and 557 of such title), and shall also (A) publish a notice of proposed rulemaking stating with particularity the reason for the proposed rule; (B) allow interested persons to submit written data, views, and arguments, and make all such submissions publicly available; (C) provide an opportunity for an informal hearing in accordance with paragraph (3); (D) promulgate, if appropriate, a final rule based on the matter in the rulemaking record (as defined in section 2618(a) of this title), and (E) make and publish with the rule the finding described in subsection (a) of this section.
     (3) Informal hearings required by paragraph (2)(C) shall be conducted by the Administrator in accordance with the following requirements:
         (A) Subject to subparagraph (B), an interested person is entitled--
             (i) to present such person's position orally or by documentary submissions (or both), and
             (ii) if the Administrator determines that there are disputed issues of material fact it is
         necessary to resolve, to present such rebuttal submissions and to conduct (or have
         conducted under subparagraph (B)(ii)) such cross-examination of persons as the
         the Administrator determines (I) to be appropriate, and (II) to be required for a full and
         true disclosure with respect to such issues.

         (B) The Administrator may prescribe such rules and make such rulings concerning
     procedures in such hearings to avoid unnecessary costs or delay. Such rules or rulings may
     include (i) the imposition of reasonable time limits on each interested person's oral
     presentations, and (ii) requirements that any cross-examination to which a person may be
     entitled under subparagraph (A) be conducted by the Administrator on behalf of that person
     in such manner as the Administrator determines (I) to be appropriate, and (II) to be required
     for a full and true disclosure with respect to disputed issues of material fact.

         (C)(i) Except as provided in clause (ii), if a group of persons each of whom under
     subparagraphs (A) and (B) would be entitled to conduct (or have conducted)
     cross-examination and who are determined by the Administrator to have the same or similar
     interests in the proceeding cannot agree upon a single representative of such interests for
     purposes of cross-examination, the Administrator may make rules and rulings (I) limiting the
     representation of such interest for such purposes, and (II) governing the manner in which
     such cross-examination shall be limited.
         (ii) When any person who is a member of a group with respect to which the Administrator
     has made a determination under clause (i) is unable to agree upon group representation with
     the other members of the group, then such person shall not be denied under the authority of
     clause (i) the opportunity to conduct (or have conducted) cross-examination as to issues
     affecting the person's particular interests if (I) the person satisfies the Administrator that the
     person has made a reasonable and good faith effort to reach agreement upon group
     representation with the other members of the group and (II) the Administrator determines that
     there are substantial and relevant issues which are not adequately presented by the group
     representative.
         (D) A verbatim transcript shall be taken of any oral presentation made, and
     cross-examination conducted in any informal hearing under this subsection. Such transcript
     shall be available to the public.

     (4)(A) The Administrator may, pursuant to rules prescribed by the Administrator, provide compensation for reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and other costs of participating in a rulemaking proceeding for the promulgation of a rule under subsection (a) of this section to any person--
         (i) who represents an interest which would substantially contribute to a fair determination
     of the issues to be resolved in the proceeding, and
         (ii) if--
             (I) the economic interest of such person is small in comparison to the costs of effective
         participation in the proceeding by such person, or
             (II) such person demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Administrator that such person
         does not have sufficient resources adequately to participate in the proceeding without
         compensation under this subparagraph.

 In determining for purposes of clause (i) if an interest will substantially contribute to a fair determination of the issues to be resolved in a proceeding, the Administrator shall take into account the number and complexity of such issues and the extent to which representation of such interest will contribute to widespread public participation in the proceeding and representation of a fair balance of interests for the resolution of such issues.
     (B) In determining whether compensation should be provided to a person under subparagraph (A) and the amount of such compensation, the Administrator shall take into account the financial burden which will be incurred by such person in participating in the rulemaking proceeding. The Administrator shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the aggregate amount of compensation paid under this paragraph in any fiscal year to all persons who, in rulemaking proceedings in which they receive compensation, are persons who either--
         (i) would be regulated by the proposed rule, or
         (ii) represent persons who would be so regulated,

 may not exceed 25 per centum of the aggregate amount paid as compensation under this paragraph to all persons in such fiscal year.    (5) Paragraph (1), (2), (3), and (4) of this subsection apply to the promulgation of a rule repealing, or making a substantive amendment to, a rule promulgated under subsection (a) of this section.

 (d) Effective date

     (1) The Administrator shall specify in any rule under subsection (a) of this section the date on which it shall take effect, which date shall be as soon as feasible.
     (2)(A) The Administrator may declare a proposed rule under subsection (a) of this section to be effective upon its publication in the Federal Register and until the effective date of final action taken, in accordance with subparagraph (B), respecting such rule if--
         (i) the Administrator determines that--
             (I) the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, or disposal of the
         chemical substance or mixture subject to such proposed rule or any combination of such
         activities is likely to result in an unreasonable risk of serious or widespread injury to health
         or the environment before such effective date; and
             (II) making such proposed rule so effective is necessary to protect the public interest;
         and
         (ii) in the case of a proposed rule to prohibit the manufacture, processing, or distribution of
     a chemical substance or mixture because of the risk determined under clause (i)(I), a court has
     in an action under section 2606 of this title granted relief with respect to such risk associated
     with such substance or mixture.

 Such a proposed rule which is made so effective shall not, for purposes of judicial review, be considered final agency action.
     (B) If the Administrator makes a proposed rule effective upon its publication in the Federal Register, the Administrator shall, as expeditiously as possible, give interested persons prompt notice of such action, provide reasonable opportunity, in accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (c) of this section, for a hearing on such rule, and either promulgate such rule (as proposed or with modifications) or revoke it; and if such a hearing is requested, the Administrator shall commence the hearing within five days from the date such request is made unless the Administrator and the person making the request agree upon a later date for the hearing to begin, and after the hearing is concluded the Administrator shall, within ten days of the conclusion of the hearing, either promulgate such rule (as proposed or with modifications) or revoke it.

 (e) Polychlorinated biphenyls

     (1) Within six months after January 1, 1977, the Administrator shall promulgate rules to--
         (A) prescribe methods for the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls, and
         (B) require polychlorinated biphenyls to be marked with clear and adequate warnings, and
     instructions with respect to their processing, distribution in commerce, use, or disposal or
     with respect to any combination of such activities.

 Requirements prescribed by rules under this paragraph shall be consistent with the requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3).
     (2)(A) Except as provided under subparagraph (B), effective one year after January 1, 1977, no person may manufacture, process, or distribute in commerce or use any polychlorinated biphenyl in any manner other than in a totally enclosed manner.
     (B) The Administrator may by rule authorize the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce or use (or any combination of such activities) of any polychlorinated biphenyl in a manner other than in a totally enclosed manner if the Administrator finds that such manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, or use (or combination of such activities) will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
     (C) For the purposes of this paragraph, the term ``totally enclosed manner'` means any manner which will ensure that any exposure of human beings or the environment to a polychlorinated biphenyl will be insignificant as determined by the Administrator by rule.
     (3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C)--
         (i) no person may manufacture any polychlorinated biphenyl after two years after January
     1,1977, and
         (ii) no person may process or distribute in commerce any polychlorinated biphenyl after
     two and one-half years after such date.

     (B) Any person may petition the Administrator for an exemption from the requirements of subparagraph (A), and the Administrator may grant by rule such an exemption if the Administrator finds that--
         (i) an unreasonable risk of injury to health or environment would not result, and
         (ii) good faith efforts have been made to develop a chemical substance which does not
     present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment and which may be
     substituted for such polychlorinated biphenyl.

 An exemption granted under this subparagraph shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may prescribe and shall be in effect for such period (but not more than one year from the date it is granted) as the Administrator may prescribe.
     (C) Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to the distribution in commerce of any polychlorinated biphenyl if such polychlorinated biphenyl was sold for purposes other than resale before two and one half years after October 11, 1976.
     (4) Any rule under paragraph (1), (2)(B), or (3)(B) shall be promulgated in accordance with paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) of subsection (c) of this section.
     (5) This subsection does not limit the authority of the Administrator, under any other provision of this chapter or any other Federal law, to take action respecting any polychlorinated biphenyl.

[Docket No. FAA-2015-1428; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-026-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by reports of fatigue cracking of a
certain chord of the pivot bulkhead. This proposed AD would require
repetitive inspections for cracking of the left side and right side
forward outer chords of the pivot bulkhead, and related investigative
and corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD provides a
modification of the pivot bulkhead, which would terminate the
repetitive inspections. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct
fatigue cracking of the outer flanges of the left and right side
forward outer chords of the pivot bulkhead, which could result in a
severed forward outer chord and consequent loss of horizontal
stabilizer control.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 30, 2015.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2015-1428;
Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-026-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite

comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy
aspects of this proposed AD. We will consider all comments received by
the closing date and may amend this proposed AD because of those
comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We received reports of fatigue cracking of the forward outer chord
of the STA 2370 pivot bulkhead. Cracks in the forward outer chords of
the STA 2370 pivot bulkhead that are not found and repaired can become
large and result in a severed forward outer chord. The cracks were
caused by a stress concentration, which is generated at the transition
radius of the forward outer flange of the chord prior to the chord
splice at the upper longeron. Since the horizontal stabilizer is
attached to the STA 2370 bulkhead at two pivot locations, fatigue
cracking of the outer flanges of the left and right side forward outer
chords of the STA 2370 pivot bulkhead, if not corrected, could result
in a severed forward outer chord and consequent loss of horizontal
stabilizer control.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following Boeing service information.
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0075, dated January
14, 2015, describes procedures for repetitive detailed and high
frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections for cracking of the outer
flanges of the left and right side forward outer chords of the STA 2370
pivot bulkhead, repetitive post-repair inspections for certain
airplanes, and related investigative and corrective actions.
     Boeing Service Bulletin 777-53-0076, dated January 14,
2015, describes procedures for a modification of the STA 2370 pivot
bulkhead by replacing the left and right side forward outer chords and
upper splice angles, and related investigative and corrective actions.
    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 the ADDRESSES section of this
NPRM.

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 these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service
Information.'' Refer to this service information for details on the
procedures and compliance times.
    The phrase ``related investigative actions'' is used in this
proposed AD. ``Related investigative actions'' are follow-on actions
that (1) are related to the primary actions, and (2) further
investigate the nature of any condition found. Related investigative
actions in an AD could include, for example, inspections.
    The phrase ``corrective actions'' is used in this proposed AD.
``Corrective actions'' are actions that correct or address any
condition found. Corrective actions in an AD could include, for
example, repairs.

Explanation of ``RC'' Steps in Service Information

    The FAA worked in conjunction with industry, under the
Airworthiness Directive Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee
(ARC), to enhance the AD system. One enhancement was a new process for
annotating which steps in the service information are required for
compliance with an AD. Differentiating these steps from other tasks in
the service information is expected to improve an owner's/operator's
understanding of crucial AD requirements and help provide consistent
judgment in AD compliance. The steps identified as RC (required for
compliance) in any service information identified previously have a
direct effect on detecting, preventing, resolving, or eliminating an
identified unsafe condition.
    For service information that contains steps that are labeled as
Required for Compliance (RC), the following provisions apply: (1) The
steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step and any
figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply with the AD,
and an AMOC is required for any deviations to RC steps, including
substeps and identified figures; and (2) steps not labeled as RC may be
deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with the operator's
maintenance or inspection program without obtaining approval of an
AMOC, provided the RC steps, including substeps and identified figures,
can still be done as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an
airworthy condition.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    The service bulletin specifies to contact the manufacturer for
instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this proposed AD
would require repairing those conditions in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 60 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

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

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs and
modifications that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these actions:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide parts cost estimates for the on-
  condition repair specified in this proposed AD.

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

(h) of this AD for the modified location only. The modification must
be done in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Service Bulletin 777-53-0076, dated January 14, 2015, except as
required by paragraph (j)(2) of this AD.

(j) Exceptions to Service Bulletin Specifications

    (1) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0075, dated
January 14, 2015, specifies a compliance time ``after the Original
Issue date of this Service Bulletin,'' this AD requires compliance
within the specified compliance time after the effective date of
this AD.
    (2) Although Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0075, dated
January 14, 2015; and Boeing Service Bulletin 777-530076, dated
January 14, 2015; specify to contact Boeing for appropriate action,
and Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0075, dated January 14,
2015, specifies that action as ``RC'' (Required for Compliance),
this AD requires repair before further flight using a method
approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph
(k) of this AD.

(k) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested
using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14
CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local
Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (l)(1) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair required by this AD if it is approved by the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization
(ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to make
those findings. For a repair method to be approved, the repair must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) Except as required by paragraph (j)(2) of this AD: For
service information that contains steps that are labeled as Required
for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs (k)(4)(i) and
(k)(4)(ii) apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. An AMOC is required for any deviations to RC steps,
including substeps and identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.
