Unsafe Condition
Regulatory Findings
(d) This AD results from a report of an
uncontained failure of the 2nd stage high
pressure turbine (HPT) air seal assembly,
caused by the air seal assembly brace
disengaging from the air seal, due to
insufficient cooling air flow. We are issuing
this AD to prevent uncontained failure of the
2nd stage HPT air seal assembly, leading to
engine in-flight shutdown and damage to the
airplane.
40 CFR Part 80
We have 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 that the 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. Would 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. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the
regulatory evaluation.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation
safety, Safety.
The Proposed Amendment
Under the authority delegated to me
by the Administrator, the Federal
Aviation Administration proposes to
amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES
(e) You are responsible for having the
actions required by this AD performed at the
next HPT module exposure after the effective
date of this AD, unless the actions have
already been done.
(f) At the next HPT module exposure,
perform a visual inspection and a fluorescent
penetrant inspection of the 2nd stage HPT air
seal assembly part number (P/N) 815097. Use
the engine maintenance manual to perform
the inspections.
(g) At the next HPT module exposure,
remove reduced cooling flow 2nd stage HPT
vane assemblies P/Ns 797282, 796972,
800082, 800072, 803182, 803182, 803282,
and 822582. Pratt & Whitney Alert Service
Bulletin JT9D–7R4–A72–596, dated
September 15, 2005, contains information for
modifying the reduced cooling flow 2nd
stage HPT vane assemblies.
Definition
(h) The manufacturer defines an HPT
module exposure as removing the 1st stage
HPT rotor and 2nd stage HPT rotor from the
HPT case.
Alternative Methods of Compliance
(i) The Manager, Engine Certification
Office, has the authority to approve
alternative methods of compliance for this
AD if requested using the procedures found
in 14 CFR 39.19.
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
§ 39.13
Compliance
[Amended]
2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding
the following new airworthiness
directive:
Pratt & Whitney: Docket No. FAA–2006–
23742; Directorate Identifier 2006–NE–
39–AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) The Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) must receive comments on this
airworthiness directive (AD) action by April
3, 2007.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; 12-Month Finding on a
Petition To List the American Eel as
Threatened or Endangered
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of 12-month petition
finding.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS), announce
our 12-month finding on a petition to
list, under the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, (Act) as amended, the
American eel (Anguilla rostrata) as a
threatened or endangered species
throughout its range. After a thorough
review of all available scientific and
commercial information, we find that
listing the American eel as either
threatened or endangered is not
warranted at this time. We ask the
public to continue to submit to us any
new information that becomes available
concerning the status of or threats to the
species. This information will help us to
monitor and encourage the ongoing
conservation of this species.
DATES: The finding in this document
was made on February 2, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Data, information,
comments, or questions regarding this
finding should be sent by postal mail to

Endangered Species, Region 5, U.S. Fish

Background
Section 4(b)(3)(B) of the Act, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
requires that, for any petition to revise
the Lists of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife and Plants that contains
substantial scientific and commercial
information that listing may be
warranted, we conduct a status review
and make a finding within 12 months of
the date of receipt of the petition
(hereafter referred to as a 12-month
finding) on whether the petitioned
action is (a) not warranted, (b)
warranted, or (c) warranted but the
immediate proposal of a regulation
implementing the petitioned action is
precluded by other pending proposals to
determine whether any species is
threatened or endangered, and
expeditious progress is being made to
add or remove qualified species from
the Lists of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife and Plants.
On May 27, 2004, the Atlantic States
Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC),
concerned about extreme declines in the
Saint Lawrence River/Lake Ontario
(SLR/LO) portion of the species’ range,
requested that the USFWS and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) conduct a
status review of the American eel. The
ASMFC also requested an evaluation of
the appropriateness of a Distinct
Population Segment (DPS) listing under
the Act for the SLR/LO and Lake
Champlain/Richelieu River portion of
the American eel population, as well as
an evaluation of the entire Atlantic coast
American eel population (see Finding
for definition of DPS) (ASMFC 2004a, p.
1). The USFWS responded to this
request on September 24, 2004; our
response stated that we had conducted
a preliminary review regarding the
potential DPS as described by the
ASMFC, and determined that the
American eel was not likely to meet the
discreteness element of the policy
requirements due to lack of population
subdivision (further analysis is provided
under Finding). Rather, the USFWS
agreed to conduct a rangewide status
review of the American eel in
coordination with NMFS and ASMFC
(USFWS 2004, p. 1).
On November 18, 2004, the USFWS
and the NMFS received a petition, dated
November 12, 2004, from Timothy A.
Watts and Douglas H. Watts, requesting
that the USFWS and NMFS list the
American eel as an endangered species
under the Act. The petitioners cited
destruction and modification of habitat,
overutilization, inadequacy of existing
regulatory mechanisms, and other
