Discussion
Federal Aviation Administration
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2007–05–17,
Amendment 39–14978 (72 FR 10350,
March 8, 2007). That AD applies to the
specified products. That NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
November 22, 2011 (76 FR 72130). That
NPRM proposed to continue to require
revisions to the ALS of the
manufacturer’s ICA to include required
enhanced inspection of selected critical
life-limited parts at each piece-part
opportunity. That NPRM also proposed
to require additional revisions to the
JT9D series engines ALS sections of the
manufacturer’s ICA.
14 CFR Part 39

Identifier 98–ANE–47–AD; Amendment 39–
16971; AD 2012–04–15]
RIN 2120–AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Pratt &
Whitney Turbofan Engines
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are superseding an
existing airworthiness directive (AD) for
all Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT9D series
turbofan engines. That AD currently
requires revisions to the Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS) of the
manufacturer’s Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to
include required enhanced inspection of
selected critical life-limited parts at
each piece-part opportunity. This new
AD requires additional revisions to the
JT9D series engines ALS sections of the
manufacturer’s ICA. This AD was
prompted by the need to require
enhanced inspection of selected critical
life-limited parts of JT9D series engines.
We are issuing this AD to prevent
critical life-limited rotating engine part
failure, which could result in an
uncontained engine failure and damage
to the airplane.
DATES: This AD is effective April 23,
2012.

Jkt 226001
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that 438 JT9D series
engines are installed on airplanes of
U.S. registry and will be affected by this
AD. We also estimate that about 4 work
hours per engine are needed to perform
the actions, and that the average labor
rate is $85 per work hour. Since this is
an added inspection requirement that
will be part of the normal maintenance
cycle, no additional parts costs are
involved. Based on these figures, we
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700

estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S.
operators to be $148,920.
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
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),
(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.

Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,

Background
On June 30, 2007, the United States
and the Republic of Korea (hereinafter
‘‘Korea’’) signed the United States-Korea
Free Trade Agreement (hereinafter
‘‘UKFTA’’ or the ‘‘Agreement’’). On
December 3, 2010, the United States and
Korea concluded new agreements,
reflected in letters signed on February
10, 2011 that provide new market access
and level the playing field for U.S. auto
manufacturers and workers. The stated
objectives of the UKFTA include:
Strengthening close economic relations
between the United States and Korea;
creating an expanded and secure market
for goods and services in the United
States and Korea and a stable and
predictable environment for investment,
thus enhancing the competitiveness of
U.S. and Korean firms in global markets;
raising living standards, promoting
economic growth and stability; creating
new employment opportunities, and
improving the general welfare by
liberalizing and expanding trade and
investment between the United States
and Korea; establishing clear and
mutually advantageous rules governing
the two countries’ trade and investment
and reducing or eliminating the barriers
to trade and investment between the
United States and Korea; not according
foreign investors greater substantive
rights with respect to investment
protections than domestic investors
under domestic law where, as in the
United States, protections of investor
rights under domestic law equal or
exceed those set forth in this
Agreement; contributing to the
harmonious development and
expansion of world trade by removing
obstacles to trade through the creation
of a free trade area and avoiding new
barriers to trade or investment between
the territories of the United States and
Korea that could reduce the benefits of
this Agreement; strengthening the
development and enforcement of labor
and environmental laws and policies,
promoting basic workers’ rights and

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT9D series turbofan engines. That AD
currently requires revisions to the Airworthiness Limitations Section
(ALS) of the manufacturer's Instructions for Continued Airworthiness
(ICA) to include required enhanced inspection of selected critical
life-limited parts at each piece-part opportunity. This new AD requires
additional revisions to the JT9D series engines ALS sections of the

enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts of JT9D
series engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent critical life-limited
rotating engine part failure, which could result in an uncontained
engine failure and damage to the airplane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2007-05-17, Amendment 39-14978 (72 FR 10350,
March 8, 2007). That AD applies to the specified products. That NPRM
published in the Federal Register on November 22, 2011 (76 FR 72130).
That NPRM proposed to continue to require revisions to the ALS of the
manufacturer's ICA to include required enhanced inspection of selected
critical life-limited parts at each piece-part opportunity. That NPRM
also proposed to require additional revisions to the JT9D series
engines ALS sections of the manufacturer's ICA.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that 438 JT9D series engines are installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry and will be affected by this AD. We also estimate that
about 4 work hours per engine are needed to perform the actions, and
that the average labor rate is $85 per work hour. Since this is an
added inspection requirement that will be part of the normal
maintenance cycle, no additional parts costs are involved. Based on
these figures, we estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators
to be $148,920.
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
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),
(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.

maintenance program as specified in paragraph (f) of this AD. You do
not need to record each piece-part inspection as compliance to this
AD, but you must maintain records of those inspections according to
the regulations governing your operation. For air carriers operating
under part 121, you may use either the system established to comply
with section 121.369 or an alternative accepted by your principal
maintenance inspector if that alternative:
(i) Includes a method for preserving and retrieving the records
of the inspections resulting from this AD;
(ii) Meets the requirements of section 121.369(c); and
(iii) Maintains the records either indefinitely or until the
work is repeated.
(2) These record keeping requirements apply only to the records
used to document the mandatory inspections required as a result of
revising the ALS of the manufacturer's ICA as specified in paragraph
(f) of this AD. These record keeping requirements do not alter or
amend the record keeping requirements for any other AD or regulatory
requirement.
