ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF34–8E series turbofan engines with certain serial number (SN) master variable geometry (VG) actuators installed. That AD currently requires initial and repetitive reviews of the airplane computer systems for master VG actuator fault messages. That AD also requires replacement of actuators reported faulty by the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC). This AD requires the same reviews. This AD also prohibits installation of affected master VG actuators onto any CF34–8E series turbofan engine after the effective date of the AD. This AD results from the need to add to the list of affected parts, master VG actuators made by a parts manufacturing approval (PMA) holder. We are issuing this AD to prevent dualchannel electrical signal faults in the master VG actuator which will cause an PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 uncommanded reduction of thrust to idle with a subsequent loss of the ability to advance thrust above idle, and will result in a multiengine loss of thrust if dual-channel faults occur on more than one engine simultaneously. DATES: Effective April 20, 2005. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulations as of April 20, 2005. We must receive any comments on this AD by June 6, 2005. ADDRESSES: Use one of the following addresses to submit comments on this AD: • By mail: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), New England Region, Office of the Regional Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket No. 2004–NE– 06–AD, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, MA 01803–5299. • By fax: (781) 238–7055. • By e-mail: 9-aneadcomment@faa.gov You can get the service information referenced in this AD from General Electric Company via Lockheed Martin Technology Services, 10525 Chester Road, Suite C, Cincinnati, Ohio 45215, telephone (513) 672–8400, fax (513) 672–8422.
