SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2016–22–05, Amendment 39–18694 (81 FR 75686, November 1, 2016), (‘‘AD 2016–22–05’’). AD 2016–22–05 applied to certain PW PW4164, PW4164–1D, PW4168, PW4168–1D, PW4168A, PW4168A–1D, and PW4170 model turbofan engines. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 19, 2018 (83 FR 58194). The NPRM was prompted by several instances of fuel leaks on PW engines with the Talon IIB combustion chamber configuration installed. The fuel leaks were the result of cracks in the fuel nozzle braze joint and cracks in the fuel manifold tube adjacent to the elbow fitting. The NPRM proposed to PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 require initial and repetitive inspections of the affected fuel nozzles and fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, replacement of the affected fuel nozzles with parts eligible for installation, and the installation of new brackets and clamps on the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to each comment. Request To Identify Causes of Fuel Leaks PW requested that we identify the two potential causes of the fuel leaks, cracks in the fuel nozzle braze joint and cracks in the fuel manifold tube adjacent to the elbow fitting, in the ‘‘Actions Since 2016–22–05 Was Issued’’ paragraph of the NPRM. We agree that updating the ‘‘Actions Since 2016–22–05 Was Issued’’ paragraph based on the request would better identify the two potential causes of the fuel leaks. We did not update the ‘‘Actions Since AD 2017–20–01 Was Issued’’ paragraph, however, because this language is not included in this final rule. Instead, we updated the Discussion paragraph to identify the two potential causes of the leaks. Request To Correct Acronym Typographical Error PW and Delta Air Lines (Delta) requested that we correct the acronym for the ring case compressor from ‘‘RRC’’ to ‘‘RCC’’ in the Applicability paragraph of this AD. We agree and corrected the acronym in this AD. Request To Update the Labor Work Hours Delta requested that we update the 16 labor work-hours identified in the ‘‘Estimated costs’’ table of this AD to match the 40 man-hours identified in the Manpower paragraph of Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin (SB) PW4G– 100–73–48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 2018. We disagree. Like the service information, the ‘‘Estimated costs’’ table of this AD separates the cost of the actions. The 16 work-hours of this AD E:\FR\FM\28MRR1.SGM 28MRR1 11638 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2019 / Rules and Regulations reflects only replacing the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and installing the new clamps and brackets. These work hours do not reflect any additional actions, such as opening and closing the cowl doors or using the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM). We did not change this AD. amozie on DSK9F9SC42PROD with RULES Request To Clarify the Applicability Paragraph SR Technics Switzerland Ltd. (SR Technics) requested that we update paragraphs (c)(1) to (4) of this AD to include the phrase ‘‘that have SB PW4G–100–73–48 Rev. 1 not fully introduced.’’ SR Technics expressed concern that operators who have replaced the fuel nozzle with an eligible part may not comply with the additional requirement to replace fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and install new brackets and clamps. PW and Delta requested that we clarify that engines that have already replaced fuel nozzle part number (P/N) 51J345 per Pratt & Whitney Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) PW4G–100– A73–47, dated March 10, 2017, only have to complete the replacement of the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, and the installation of new brackets and clamps on the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies per Pratt & Whitney SB PW4G–100–73–48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 2018. We partially agree. We disagree with including the phrase suggested by SR Technics in the Applicability of this AD because we found it clearer to move the requirement to a separate paragraph. We agree with clarifying that engines with the new fuel nozzles installed only require the installation of the new fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, brackets, and clamps. We revised this AD by moving the requirement to replace the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and to install new brackets and clamps from paragraph (g)(2)(ii) in the NPRM into a separate paragraph (g)(3) in this AD. Request To Publish a Separate AD Delta requested that we publish a separate AD for the replacement of the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, and the installation of new brackets and clamps on the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies per Pratt & Whitney SB PW4G–100–73–48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 2018. Delta indicated that per the Applicability paragraph of this proposed rule, engines that have already met the intent of PW ASB PW4G–100– A73–47 and therefore do not have fuel nozzle P/N 51J345 installed are not applicable. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:25 Mar 27, 2019 Jkt 247001 We disagree that it is necessary to publish a separate AD to mandate replacement of the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and installation of new brackets and clamps. As noted above, however, we have revised this AD by creating a separate paragraph (g)(3) to clarify the requirement for replacement of the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, and the installation of new brackets and clamps. Request To Revise the Compliance Time PW commented that it disagreed with the compliance time proposed in the NPRM. For replacement of the fuel nozzles, PW requested that we revise the compliance time from 24 months after the effective date of this AD, as proposed in the NPRM, to April 1, 2019. This revised compliance time would match the compliance time in Pratt & Whitney ASB PW4G–100–A73–47, dated March 10, 2017. PW reasoned that the majority of the fleet is adhering to the April 1, 2019, compliance time and extending the compliance to 24 months is too lenient. We disagree. The PW safety risk assessment for this AD supports a compliance time of 24-months after the effective date of this AD for replacement of the fuel nozzles. Although certain operators may comply by April 1, 2019, the 24-months compliance time meets the safety intent of this AD. We did not change this AD. PW also requested that we revise the compliance time to install the fuel nozzle supply manifold assembly, brackets, and clamps to the next shop visit, not to exceed September 30, 2024, whichever occurs first. This compliance time would also be consistent with Pratt & Whitney SB PW4G–100–73–48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 2018. PW reasoned that after further analysis, including reassessment of the risk associated with the vibratory stress cracking of the manifolds, they will publish a revision to their service information. We agree. PW’s analysis and updated safety risk support extending the compliance time to replace the fuel nozzle supply manifold assembly, brackets, and clamps. We revised this requirement from ‘‘At the next shop visit or within 24 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever comes first. . . .’’ to ‘‘At the next shop visit or within 60 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever comes first. . . .’’ PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Request To Remove Wording From Terminating Action Paragraph PW and Delta requested that we update the Terminating Action paragraph of this AD to remove the replacement of the manifold supply assemblies and installation of the brackets and clamps. Delta noted that the fuel nozzle and fuel nozzle supply manifold assembly failure modes as described by their respective Pratt & Whitney SBs PW4G–100–A73–47 and PW4G–100–73–48 are not the same. The commenters further reasoned that the repetitive inspections specified in paragraph (g)(1) of the NPRM apply only to the fuel nozzle. We agree. We removed the replacement of the manifold supply assemblies and installation of the brackets and clamps as terminating actions for this AD. Request To Correct the Part Terminology for Consistency Delta noted that we used the term ‘‘fuel nozzle manifold supply assemblies’’ and ‘‘fuel supply manifolds’’ in the NPRM and requested that the term ‘‘fuel nozzle supply manifold assembly’’ be used to be consistent with the service information. We agree. We revised this AD to refer to ‘‘fuel nozzle supply manifold assembly.’’ Request To Separate Required Actions To Allow Alternate Tool Delta requested that we separate the actions identified in paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of the NPRM (paragraph (g)(3) of this AD), into two steps: 1. Replace the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, and 2. Install the new brackets and clamps on the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies. Delta reasoned that this AD specifies using service information that will only allow the use of a backup wrench to install the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies. Delta and PW, however, have developed an alternate tool to install the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies to reduce the risk of over-torqueing. We disagree. While the service information references a backup wrench, it does not specify the P/N of the tool to use. Therefore, 14 CFR part 43 allows for the use of alternate, FAAapproved, tools. We did not change this AD. Request To Allow Use of Later Revisions of Service Information Delta requested that we add the phrase ‘‘or later per subsequent SBs’’ to paragraph (h)(2) of this AD to remove the need to submit alternative methods E:\FR\FM\28MRR1.SGM 28MRR1 11639 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2019 / Rules and Regulations of compliance requests in response to future redesigns of the fuel nozzles. We disagree. We are authorized to require the use of service information that we have reviewed and which are published. Since later revisions of the service information are not yet published, we are not authorized to require their use. We did not change this AD. and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and • Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM. We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD. Support for the AD The Air Line Pilots Association expressed support for the NPRM as written. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described previously We reviewed Pratt & Whitney ASB PW4G–100–A73–45, dated February 16, 2016; Pratt & Whitney ASB PW4G–100– A73–47, dated March 10, 2017; and Pratt & Whitney SB PW4G–100–73–48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 2018. Pratt & Whitney ASB PW4G–100–A73– 45 describes procedures for inspecting and replacing the fuel nozzles. Pratt & Whitney ASB PW4G–100–A73–47 describes procedures for replacing the fuel nozzle and support assembly. Pratt & Whitney SB PW4G–100–73–48 describes procedures for replacing the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and installing new brackets and clamps on the manifolds. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 72 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD: ESTIMATED COSTS amozie on DSK9F9SC42PROD with RULES Cost on U.S. operators Labor cost Inspect fuel nozzles ........................................

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. This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but during this transition VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:25 Mar 27, 2019 Jkt 247001 Parts cost Cost per product Action period, the Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards Branch, Policy and Innovation Division. 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), (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.

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Division Turbofan 
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-22-05 for 
certain Pratt & Whitney Division (PW) PW4164, PW4164-1D, PW4168, 
PW4168-1D, PW4168A, PW4168A-1D, and PW4170 model turbofan engines. AD 
2016-22-05 required initial and repetitive inspections of the affected 
fuel nozzles and their replacement with parts eligible for 
installation. This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections of 
the affected fuel nozzles and fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, 
replacement of the affected fuel nozzles with parts eligible for 
installation, and the installation of new brackets and clamps on the 
fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies. This AD was prompted by several

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to supersede AD 2016-22-05, Amendment 39-18694 (81 FR 75686, 
November 1, 2016), (``AD 2016-22-05''). AD 2016-22-05 applied to 
certain PW PW4164, PW4164-1D, PW4168, PW4168-1D, PW4168A, PW4168A-1D, 
and PW4170 model turbofan engines. The NPRM published in the Federal 
Register on November 19, 2018 (83 FR 58194). The NPRM was prompted by 
several instances of fuel leaks on PW engines with the Talon IIB 
combustion chamber configuration installed. The fuel leaks were the 
result of cracks in the fuel nozzle braze joint and cracks in the fuel 
manifold tube adjacent to the elbow fitting. The NPRM proposed to 
require initial and repetitive inspections of the affected fuel nozzles 
and fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, replacement of the affected 
fuel nozzles with parts eligible for installation, and the installation 
of new brackets and clamps on the fuel nozzle supply manifold 
assemblies. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on 
these products.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and 
the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Identify Causes of Fuel Leaks

    PW requested that we identify the two potential causes of the fuel 
leaks, cracks in the fuel nozzle braze joint and cracks in the fuel 
manifold tube adjacent to the elbow fitting, in the ``Actions Since 
2016-22-05 Was Issued'' paragraph of the NPRM.
    We agree that updating the ``Actions Since 2016-22-05 Was Issued'' 
paragraph based on the request would better identify the two potential 
causes of the fuel leaks. We did not update the ``Actions Since AD 
2017-20-01 Was Issued'' paragraph, however, because this language is 
not included in this final rule. Instead, we updated the Discussion 
paragraph to identify the two potential causes of the leaks.

Request To Correct Acronym Typographical Error

    PW and Delta Air Lines (Delta) requested that we correct the 
acronym for the ring case compressor from ``RRC'' to ``RCC'' in the 
Applicability paragraph of this AD.
    We agree and corrected the acronym in this AD.

Request To Update the Labor Work Hours

    Delta requested that we update the 16 labor work-hours identified 
in the ``Estimated costs'' table of this AD to match the 40 man-hours 
identified in the Manpower paragraph of Pratt & Whitney Service 
Bulletin (SB) PW4G-100-73-48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 2018.
    We disagree. Like the service information, the ``Estimated costs'' 
table of this AD separates the cost of the actions. The 16 work-hours 
of this AD

[[Page 11638]]

reflects only replacing the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and 
installing the new clamps and brackets. These work hours do not reflect 
any additional actions, such as opening and closing the cowl doors or 
using the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM). We did not change this AD.

Request To Clarify the Applicability Paragraph

    SR Technics Switzerland Ltd. (SR Technics) requested that we update 
paragraphs (c)(1) to (4) of this AD to include the phrase ``that have 
SB PW4G-100-73-48 Rev. 1 not fully introduced.'' SR Technics expressed 
concern that operators who have replaced the fuel nozzle with an 
eligible part may not comply with the additional requirement to replace 
fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and install new brackets and 
clamps.
    PW and Delta requested that we clarify that engines that have 
already replaced fuel nozzle part number (P/N) 51J345 per Pratt & 
Whitney Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) PW4G-100-A73-47, dated March 10, 
2017, only have to complete the replacement of the fuel nozzle supply 
manifold assemblies, and the installation of new brackets and clamps on 
the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies per Pratt & Whitney SB PW4G-
100-73-48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 2018.
    We partially agree. We disagree with including the phrase suggested 
by SR Technics in the Applicability of this AD because we found it 
clearer to move the requirement to a separate paragraph. We agree with 
clarifying that engines with the new fuel nozzles installed only 
require the installation of the new fuel nozzle supply manifold 
assemblies, brackets, and clamps. We revised this AD by moving the 
requirement to replace the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and 
to install new brackets and clamps from paragraph (g)(2)(ii) in the 
NPRM into a separate paragraph (g)(3) in this AD.

Request To Publish a Separate AD

    Delta requested that we publish a separate AD for the replacement 
of the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, and the installation of 
new brackets and clamps on the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies 
per Pratt & Whitney SB PW4G-100-73-48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 
2018. Delta indicated that per the Applicability paragraph of this 
proposed rule, engines that have already met the intent of PW ASB PW4G-
100-A73-47 and therefore do not have fuel nozzle P/N 51J345 installed 
are not applicable.
    We disagree that it is necessary to publish a separate AD to 
mandate replacement of the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and 
installation of new brackets and clamps. As noted above, however, we 
have revised this AD by creating a separate paragraph (g)(3) to clarify 
the requirement for replacement of the fuel nozzle supply manifold 
assemblies, and the installation of new brackets and clamps.

Request To Revise the Compliance Time

    PW commented that it disagreed with the compliance time proposed in 
the NPRM. For replacement of the fuel nozzles, PW requested that we 
revise the compliance time from 24 months after the effective date of 
this AD, as proposed in the NPRM, to April 1, 2019. This revised 
compliance time would match the compliance time in Pratt & Whitney ASB 
PW4G-100-A73-47, dated March 10, 2017. PW reasoned that the majority of 
the fleet is adhering to the April 1, 2019, compliance time and 
extending the compliance to 24 months is too lenient.
    We disagree. The PW safety risk assessment for this AD supports a 
compliance time of 24-months after the effective date of this AD for 
replacement of the fuel nozzles. Although certain operators may comply 
by April 1, 2019, the 24-months compliance time meets the safety intent 
of this AD. We did not change this AD.
    PW also requested that we revise the compliance time to install the 
fuel nozzle supply manifold assembly, brackets, and clamps to the next 
shop visit, not to exceed September 30, 2024, whichever occurs first. 
This compliance time would also be consistent with Pratt & Whitney SB 
PW4G-100-73-48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 2018. PW reasoned that 
after further analysis, including reassessment of the risk associated 
with the vibratory stress cracking of the manifolds, they will publish 
a revision to their service information.
    We agree. PW's analysis and updated safety risk support extending 
the compliance time to replace the fuel nozzle supply manifold 
assembly, brackets, and clamps. We revised this requirement from ``At 
the next shop visit or within 24 months after the effective date of 
this AD, whichever comes first. . . .'' to ``At the next shop visit or 
within 60 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever comes 
first. . . .''

Request To Remove Wording From Terminating Action Paragraph

    PW and Delta requested that we update the Terminating Action 
paragraph of this AD to remove the replacement of the manifold supply 
assemblies and installation of the brackets and clamps. Delta noted 
that the fuel nozzle and fuel nozzle supply manifold assembly failure 
modes as described by their respective Pratt & Whitney SBs PW4G-100-
A73-47 and PW4G-100-73-48 are not the same. The commenters further 
reasoned that the repetitive inspections specified in paragraph (g)(1) 
of the NPRM apply only to the fuel nozzle.
    We agree. We removed the replacement of the manifold supply 
assemblies and installation of the brackets and clamps as terminating 
actions for this AD.

Request To Correct the Part Terminology for Consistency

    Delta noted that we used the term ``fuel nozzle manifold supply 
assemblies'' and ``fuel supply manifolds'' in the NPRM and requested 
that the term ``fuel nozzle supply manifold assembly'' be used to be 
consistent with the service information.
    We agree. We revised this AD to refer to ``fuel nozzle supply 
manifold assembly.''

Request To Separate Required Actions To Allow Alternate Tool

    Delta requested that we separate the actions identified in 
paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of the NPRM (paragraph (g)(3) of this AD), into 
two steps: 1. Replace the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies, and 
2. Install the new brackets and clamps on the fuel nozzle supply 
manifold assemblies. Delta reasoned that this AD specifies using 
service information that will only allow the use of a backup wrench to 
install the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies. Delta and PW, 
however, have developed an alternate tool to install the fuel nozzle 
supply manifold assemblies to reduce the risk of over-torqueing.
    We disagree. While the service information references a backup 
wrench, it does not specify the P/N of the tool to use. Therefore, 14 
CFR part 43 allows for the use of alternate, FAA-approved, tools. We 
did not change this AD.

Request To Allow Use of Later Revisions of Service Information

    Delta requested that we add the phrase ``or later per subsequent 
SBs'' to paragraph (h)(2) of this AD to remove the need to submit 
alternative methods

[[Page 11639]]

of compliance requests in response to future redesigns of the fuel 
nozzles.
    We disagree. We are authorized to require the use of service 
information that we have reviewed and which are published. Since later 
revisions of the service information are not yet published, we are not 
authorized to require their use. We did not change this AD.

Support for the AD

    The Air Line Pilots Association expressed support for the NPRM as 
written.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial 
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the 
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Pratt & Whitney ASB PW4G-100-A73-45, dated February 16, 
2016; Pratt & Whitney ASB PW4G-100-A73-47, dated March 10, 2017; and 
Pratt & Whitney SB PW4G-100-73-48, Revision No. 1, dated April 24, 
2018. Pratt & Whitney ASB PW4G-100-A73-45 describes procedures for 
inspecting and replacing the fuel nozzles. Pratt & Whitney ASB PW4G-
100-A73-47 describes procedures for replacing the fuel nozzle and 
support assembly. Pratt & Whitney SB PW4G-100-73-48 describes 
procedures for replacing the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies and 
installing new brackets and clamps on the manifolds. This service 
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have 
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means 
identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 72 engines installed on airplanes 
of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the 
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by 
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is 
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but 
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the 
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and 
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards 
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

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),
    (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.

    (1) For the purpose of this AD, an ``engine shop visit'' is the 
induction of an engine into the shop for maintenance involving the 
separation of pairs of major mating engine case flanges, except for 
the following situations, which do not constitute an engine shop 
visit:
    (i) Separation of engine flanges solely for the purposes of 
transportation of the engine without subsequent maintenance.
    (ii) Separation of engine flanges solely for the purpose of 
replacing the fan or propulsor without subsequent engine 
maintenance.
    (2) For the purpose of this AD, a part that is ``eligible for 
installation'' is a fuel nozzle with a P/N other than 51J345 that is 
FAA-approved for installation.
