Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca
S.A. 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

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.
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.

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.
