Turboshaft Engines Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). AGENCY: We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2007–19– 09R1 that applies to Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 2B1 turboshaft engines that do not have modification TU157 incorporated. AD 2007–19–09R1 requires replacement of the hydromechanical metering unit (HMU) with a serviceable HMU. Since we issued AD 2007–19–09R1, we received reports of ruptures on HMU constant delta pressure valves that have less than 2,000 hours in service. This proposed AD would continue to require HMU replacement; reduce the compliance interval; and include the power turbine (C2) cycle consumption rate when determining compliance times. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the HMU, which could lead to damage to the engine, and damage to the aircraft. SUMMARY: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 24, 2014. ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: June 2, 2010), we received reports of ruptures on HMU constant delta pressure valves that have less than 2,000 hours in service. Also since we issued AD 2007–19–09R1, the European Aviation Safety Agency has issued AD 2013–0171, dated July 30, 2013, which reintroduces a requirement for periodic replacement of the HMU. Comments Invited Costs of Compliance We estimate that this proposed AD affects 264 engines installed on aircraft of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 1 hour per engine to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Parts cost about $5,000 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $1,342,440. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2007–27009; Directorate Identifier 2007–NE–02–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 https:// 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 On May 24, 2010, we issued AD 2007–19–09R1, Amendment 39–16322 (75 FR 30687, June 2, 2010). That AD applies to all Turbomeca S.A. 2B1 turboshaft engines that do not incorporate modification TU157. That AD requires replacement of the HMU with a serviceable HMU. AD 2007–19– 09R1 resulted from reports of HMU valve rupture. We issued AD 2007–19– 09R1 to prevent failure of the HMU, which could lead to damage to the engine and damage to the aircraft. Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued Since we issued AD 2007–19–09R1, Amendment 39–16322 (75 FR 30687, PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 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 the same type design. Proposed AD Requirements This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 2007–19– 09R1, Amendment 39–16322 (75 FR 30687, June 2, 2010) but would reduce the compliance interval and include the C2 cycle consumption rate when determining compliance times. 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 proposed 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 proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not E:\FR\FM\24DEP1.SGM 24DEP1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 247 / Tuesday, December 24, 2013 / Proposed Rules 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca S.A. Turboshaft Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2007-19-
09R1 that applies to Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 2B1 turboshaft engines that 
do not have modification TU157 incorporated. AD 2007-19-09R1 requires 
replacement of the hydromechanical metering unit (HMU) with a 
serviceable HMU. Since we issued AD 2007-19-09R1, we received reports 
of ruptures on HMU constant delta pressure valves that have less than 
2,000 hours in service. This proposed AD would continue to require HMU 
replacement; reduce the compliance interval; and include the power 
turbine (C2) cycle consumption rate when determining compliance times. 
We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the HMU, which could 
lead to damage to the engine, and damage to the aircraft.

Discussion

    On May 24, 2010, we issued AD 2007-19-09R1, Amendment 39-16322 (75 
FR 30687, June 2, 2010). That AD applies to all Turbomeca S.A. 2B1 
turboshaft engines that do not incorporate modification TU157. That AD 
requires replacement of the HMU with a serviceable HMU. AD 2007-19-09R1 
resulted from reports of HMU valve rupture. We issued AD 2007-19-09R1 
to prevent failure of the HMU, which could lead to damage to the engine 
and damage to the aircraft.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2007-19-09R1, Amendment 39-16322 (75 FR 30687, 
June 2, 2010), we received reports of ruptures on HMU constant delta 
pressure valves that have less than 2,000 hours in service. Also since 
we issued AD 2007-19-09R1, the European Aviation Safety Agency has 
issued AD 2013-0171, dated July 30, 2013, which reintroduces a 
requirement for periodic replacement of the HMU.

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 the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 2007-19-
09R1, Amendment 39-16322 (75 FR 30687, June 2, 2010) but would reduce 
the compliance interval and include the C2 cycle consumption rate when 
determining compliance times.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 264 engines installed on 
aircraft of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 1 
hour per engine to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate 
is $85 per hour. Parts cost about $5,000 per engine. Based on these 
figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to 
be $1,342,440.

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 proposed 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 proposed AD would not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not

[[Page 77615]]

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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent 
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to 
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.
