CFM56–5, –5B, and –7B series turbofan engines. This AD requires removing from service, nine stage 3 low-pressure turbine (LPT) disks, identified by serial number (S/N). This AD results from the discovery of a material nonconformity requiring removal of the disk before the certified disk life of certain stage 3 LPT disks. We are issuing this AD to prevent uncontained failure of the stage 3 LPT disk and damage to the airplane. DATES: This AD becomes effective July 26, 2010. ADDRESSES: The Docket Operations office is located at Docket Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West Building Ground Floor, Room W12–140, Washington, DC 20590–0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with a proposed AD. The proposed AD applies to CFM International, S.A. CFM56–5, –5B, and –7B series turbofan engines. We published the proposed AD PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 in the Federal Register on March 18, 2010 (75 FR 13045). That action proposed to require removing from service, nine stage 3 LPT disks, identified by S/N. Examining the AD Docket You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https:// www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information. The street address for the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647–5527) is provided in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt. Comments We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the development of this AD. We have considered the comments received. Two commenters support the proposal as written. Remove the Airbus A340 Reference One commenter, CFM International, S.A., requests that we remove the reference to the Airbus A340 airplane from the applicability paragraph, as the engines used on that airplane are CFM56–5C engines, and use a different disk P/N not affected by this AD. We agree. We removed the A340 reference from the AD. Request To Reference the Disk Part Number CFM International, S.A., requests that we reference the disk part number of 336–002–006–0, along with the affected disk serial numbers, in the applicability paragraph to help identify the parts to be removed. We agree. We added the disk part number to the applicability paragraph. Request To Clarify the Applicability Paragraph CFM International, S.A., requests clarification of the applicability paragraph that none of these affected disk S/Ns were originally installed on any CFM56–5 turbofan engines, however, that disk P/N is certified for use on CFM56–5 engines. We agree and changed the applicability paragraph. Request To Reference European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Related AD CFM International, S.A., requests that we reference the EASA related AD in our AD. E:\FR\FM\21JNR1.SGM 21JNR1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 118 / Monday, June 21, 2010 / Rules and Regulations We agree and added a reference to EASA AD 2009–0270 in the AD. Conclusion We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously. We have determined that these changes will neither increase the economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD will affect two engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. The pro-rated cost of the replacement parts is $40,375 per engine. We estimate that no additional labor costs will be incurred to perform the required disk removals, because the removals will be done at time of engine shop visit. Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be $80,750. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES 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 have determined that this AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 this AD: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:37 Jun 18, 2010 Jkt 220001 (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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the address listed under ADDRESSES.

International, S.A. CFM56-5, -5B, and -7B series turbofan engines. This 
AD requires removing from service, nine stage 3 low-pressure turbine 
(LPT) disks, identified by serial number (S/N). This AD results from 
the discovery of a material nonconformity requiring removal of the disk 
before the certified disk life of certain stage 3 LPT disks. We are 
issuing this AD to prevent uncontained failure of the stage 3 LPT disk 
and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 26, 2010.

ADDRESSES: The Docket Operations office is located at Docket Management

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 
with a proposed AD. The proposed AD applies to CFM International, S.A. 
CFM56-5, -5B, and -7B series turbofan engines. We published the 
proposed AD in the Federal Register on March 18, 2010 (75 FR 13045). 
That action proposed to require removing from service, nine stage 3 LPT 
disks, identified by S/N.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation, 
any comments received, and other information. The street address for 
the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is provided in 
the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket 
shortly after receipt.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the 
development of this AD. We have considered the comments received. Two 
commenters support the proposal as written.

Remove the Airbus A340 Reference

    One commenter, CFM International, S.A., requests that we remove the 
reference to the Airbus A340 airplane from the applicability paragraph, 
as the engines used on that airplane are CFM56-5C engines, and use a 
different disk P/N not affected by this AD.
    We agree. We removed the A340 reference from the AD.

Request To Reference the Disk Part Number

    CFM International, S.A., requests that we reference the disk part 
number of 336-002-006-0, along with the affected disk serial numbers, 
in the applicability paragraph to help identify the parts to be 
removed.
    We agree. We added the disk part number to the applicability 
paragraph.

Request To Clarify the Applicability Paragraph

    CFM International, S.A., requests clarification of the 
applicability paragraph that none of these affected disk S/Ns were 
originally installed on any CFM56-5 turbofan engines, however, that 
disk P/N is certified for use on CFM56-5 engines.
    We agree and changed the applicability paragraph.

Request To Reference European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Related AD

    CFM International, S.A., requests that we reference the EASA 
related AD in our AD.

[[Page 34925]]

    We agree and added a reference to EASA AD 2009-0270 in the AD.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the 
comments received, and determined that air safety and the public 
interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously. 
We have determined that these changes will neither increase the 
economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect two engines installed on 
airplanes of U.S. registry. The pro-rated cost of the replacement parts 
is $40,375 per engine. We estimate that no additional labor costs will 
be incurred to perform the required disk removals, because the removals 
will be done at time of engine shop visit. Based on these figures, we 
estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be $80,750.

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 have determined that this AD will not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive 
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD and 
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the 
address listed under ADDRESSES.
