returned payment fee, the amount of the
fee may be no more than $25 pursuant
to § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A).
2. Adjustments based on Consumer
Price Index. For purposes of
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A) and (b)(1)(ii)(B),
the Bureau shall calculate each year
price level adjusted amounts using the
Consumer Price Index in effect on June
1 of that year. When the cumulative
change in the adjusted minimum value
derived from applying the annual
Consumer Price level to the current
amounts in § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A) and
(b)(1)(ii)(B) has risen by a whole dollar,
those amounts will be increased by
$1.00. Similarly, when the cumulative
change in the adjusted minimum value
derived from applying the annual
Consumer Price level to the current
amounts in § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A) and
(b)(1)(ii)(B) has decreased by a whole
dollar, those amounts will be decreased
by $1.00. The Bureau will publish
adjustments to the amounts in
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A) and (b)(1)(ii)(B).
i. Historical thresholds.
A. Card issuers were permitted to
impose a fee for violating the terms of
an agreement if the fee did not exceed
$25 under § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A) and $35
under § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(B), through
December 31, 2013.
B. Card issuers were permitted to
impose a fee for violating the terms of
an agreement if the fee did not exceed
$26 under § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A) and $37
under § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(B), through
December 31, 2014.
C. Card issuers were permitted to
impose a fee for violating the terms of
an agreement if the fee did not exceed
$27 under § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A) and $38
under § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(B), through
December 31, 2015.
D. Card issuers were permitted to
impose a fee for violating the terms of
an agreement if the fee did not exceed
$27 under § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A), through
December 31, 2016. Card issuers were
permitted to impose a fee for violating
the terms of an agreement if the fee did
not exceed $37 under
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(B), through June 26,
2016, and $38 under
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(B) from June 27, 2016
through December 31, 2016.
E. Card issuers were permitted to
impose a fee for violating the terms of

G, Card issuers were permitted to
impose a fee for violating the terms of
an agreement if the fee did not exceed
$28 under § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A) and $39
under § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(B), through
December 31, 2019.
3. Delinquent balance for charge card
accounts. Section 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(C)
provides that, when a charge card issuer
that requires payment of outstanding
balances in full at the end of each
billing cycle has not received the
required payment for two or more
consecutive billing cycles, the card
issuer may impose a late payment fee
that does not exceed three percent of the
delinquent balance. For purposes of
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(C), the delinquent
balance is any previously billed amount
that remains unpaid at the time the late
payment fee is imposed pursuant to
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(C). Consistent with
§ 1026.52(b)(2)(ii), a charge card issuer
that imposes a fee pursuant to
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(C) with respect to a
late payment may not impose a fee
pursuant to § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(B) with
respect to the same late payment. The
following examples illustrate the
application of § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(C):
i. Assume that a charge card issuer
requires payment of outstanding
balances in full at the end of each
billing cycle and that the billing cycles
for the account begin on the first day of
the month and end on the last day of the
month. At the end of the June billing
cycle, the account has a balance of
$1,000. On July 5, the card issuer
provides a periodic statement disclosing
the $1,000 balance consistent with
§ 1026.7. During the July billing cycle,
the account is used for $300 in
transactions, increasing the balance to
$1,300. At the end of the July billing
cycle, no payment has been received
and the card issuer imposes a $25 late
payment fee consistent with
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(A). On August 5, the
card issuer provides a periodic
statement disclosing the $1,325 balance
consistent with § 1026.7. During the
August billing cycle, the account is used
for $200 in transactions, increasing the
balance to $1,525. At the end of the
August billing cycle, no payment has
been received. Consistent with
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(C), the card issuer
may impose a late payment fee of $40,
which is 3% of the $1,325 balance that
was due at the end of the August billing
cycle. Section 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(C) does
not permit the card issuer to include the
$200 in transactions that occurred
during the August billing cycle.
ii. Same facts as above except that, on
August 25, a $100 payment is received.
Consistent with § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(C),
the card issuer may impose a late
PO 00000

payment fee of $37, which is 3% of the
unpaid portion of the $1,325 balance
that was due at the end of the August
billing cycle ($1,225).
iii. Same facts as in paragraph A
above except that, on August 25, a $200
payment is received. Consistent with
§ 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(C), the card issuer
may impose a late payment fee of $34,
which is 3% of the unpaid portion of
the $1,325 balance that was due at the
end of the August billing cycle ($1,125).
In the alternative, the card issuer may
impose a late payment fee of $35
consistent with § 1026.52(b)(1)(ii)(B).
However, § 1026.52(b)(2)(ii) prohibits
the card issuer from imposing both fees.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The European Union Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:12 Jul 31, 2019
Jkt 247001
European Community, has issued EASA
AD 2018–0164R1, dated March 14, 2019
(corrected copy dated March 21, 2019)
(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to
address an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:
Following a recent analysis of the material
condition used in manufacture of these parts,
it was established that the HP turbine disc
front cover plate may have a safe life below
its declared safe cyclic life (DSCL).
This condition, if not corrected, could lead
to premature failure of an affected part,
possibly resulting in damage to the engine
and reduced control of the aeroplane.
To address this potential unsafe condition,
RR published the NMSB to provide the new
DSCL and replacement instructions.
Consequently, EASA issued AD 2018–0164
to require implementation of the reduced
DSCL and removal from service of those
affected parts that have exceeded the reduced
DSCL.
Since that [EASA] AD was issued, further
analysis has resulted in the approval of an
extended life for the affected parts. RR has
published the TLM Task for this extended
limit and it is expected the NMSB will be
cancelled accordingly.
You may obtain further information
by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket on the internet at https://
www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA–2019–
0567.
Related Service Information
The FAA reviewed Rolls-Royce plc
(RR) Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
TRENT1000 72–AK057, Initial Issue,
dated April 10, 2018. The service
information describes procedures for
either removing the engine containing
the affected HPT disk front cover plate
or replacing the HPT disk front cover
plate during a shop visit.
FAA’s Determination
This product has been approved by
EASA and is approved for operation in
the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with the European
Community, EASA has notified us of
the unsafe condition described in the
MCAI and service information
referenced above. The FAA is issuing
this AD because we evaluated all the
relevant information provided by EASA
and determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or
develop in other products of the same
type design.
AD Requirements
This AD requires removal of the
affected HPT disk front cover plate from
service before reaching its new life limit
and replacing it with a part eligible for
installation.

Differences Between This AD and the
MCAI or Service Information
This AD and EASA AD 2018–0164R1,
dated March 14, 2019 (corrected copy
dated March 21, 2019) require removal
of the affected HPT disk front cover
plate before accumulating 1,250 cycles
since first installation on an engine. RR
ASB Trent1000 72–AK057, Initial Issue,
dated April 10, 2018, requires removal
of the affected HPT disk front cover
plate before accumulating 865 cycles
since first installation. Since publication
of the ASB, the manufacturer has
revised its analysis, which has resulted
in an extension of the life limit for this
part to 1,250 cycles.
FAA’s Justification and Determination
of the Effective Date
No domestic operators use this
product. Therefore, the FAA finds good
cause that notice and opportunity for
prior public comment are unnecessary.
In addition, for the reason stated above,
the FAA finds that good cause exists for
making this amendment effective in less
than 30 days.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves
requirements affecting flight safety and
was not preceded by notice and an
opportunity for public comment.
However, the FAA invites you to send
any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your
comments to an address listed under the
ADDRESSES section. Include the docket
number FAA–2019–0567 and Product
Identifier 2019–NE–21–AD at the
beginning of your comments. The FAA
specifically invites comments on the
overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of
this final rule. The FAA will consider
all comments received by the closing
date and may amend this final rule
because of those comments.
The FAA will post all comments we
receive, without change, to https://
www.regulations.gov, including any
personal information you provide. The
FAA will also post a report
summarizing each substantive verbal
contact we receive about this final rule.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) do not apply when
an agency finds good cause pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without
prior notice and comment. Because the
FAA has determined that it has good
cause to adopt this rule without notice
and comment, RFA analysis is not
required.

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.
The FAA is 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
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 this AD:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
and
(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
In a notice published in the Federal
Register of December 13, 2018 (83 FR
64045), we announced that we filed a
color additive petition (CAP 9C0314)
submitted by Impossible Foods, Inc.,
c/o Exponent, Inc., 1150 Connecticut
Avenue NW, Suite 1100, Washington,
DC 20036. The petition proposed to
amend the color additive regulations in
part 73 (21 CFR part 73), ‘‘Listing of
Color Additives Exempt from
Certification’’ to provide for the safe use
of soy leghemoglobin as a color additive
in ground beef analogue products such
that the amount of soy leghemoglobin
protein does not exceed 0.8 percent by
weight of the uncooked ground beef
analogue product. For the purposes of
this final rule, the term ‘‘ground beef
analogue products’’ refers to plant-based
or other non-animal derived ground
beef-like food products. The petition
describes soy leghemoglobin protein as
the principal reddish brown coloring
component of a stabilized mixture,
referred to as soy leghemoglobin
preparation. We are establishing soy
leghemoglobin as the common or usual
name for this color additive and note

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has
issued EASA AD 2018-0164R1, dated March 14, 2019 (corrected copy dated
March 21, 2019) (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to address an
unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:
Following a recent analysis of the material condition used in
manufacture of these parts, it was established that the HP turbine
disc front cover plate may have a safe life below its declared safe
cyclic life (DSCL).
This condition, if not corrected, could lead to premature
failure of an affected part, possibly resulting in damage to the
engine and reduced control of the aeroplane.
To address this potential unsafe condition, RR published the
NMSB to provide the new DSCL and replacement instructions.
Consequently, EASA issued AD 2018-0164 to require implementation of
the reduced DSCL and removal from service of those affected parts
that have exceeded the reduced DSCL.
Since that [EASA] AD was issued, further analysis has resulted
in the approval of an extended life for the affected parts. RR has
published the TLM Task for this extended limit and it is expected
the NMSB will be cancelled accordingly.
You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-0567.
Related Service Information
The FAA reviewed Rolls-Royce plc (RR) Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
TRENT1000 72-AK057, Initial Issue, dated April 10, 2018. The service
information describes procedures for either removing the engine
containing the affected HPT disk front cover plate or replacing the HPT
disk front cover plate during a shop visit.
FAA's Determination
This product has been approved by EASA and is approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement
with the European Community, EASA has notified us of the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced
above. The FAA is issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of
the same type design.
AD Requirements
This AD requires removal of the affected HPT disk front cover plate
from service before reaching its new life limit and replacing it with a
part eligible for installation.
Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information
This AD and EASA AD 2018-0164R1, dated March 14, 2019 (corrected
copy dated March 21, 2019) require removal of the affected HPT disk
front cover plate before accumulating 1,250 cycles since first
installation on an engine. RR ASB Trent1000 72-AK057, Initial Issue,
dated April 10, 2018, requires removal of the affected HPT disk front
cover plate before accumulating 865 cycles since first installation.
Since publication of the ASB, the manufacturer has revised its
analysis, which has resulted in an extension of the life limit for this
part to 1,250 cycles.
FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date
No domestic operators use this product. Therefore, the FAA finds
good cause that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
unnecessary. In addition, for the reason stated above, the FAA finds
that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than
30 days.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment. However, the FAA invites you to send any written data, views,
or arguments about this final rule. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number FAA-2019-
0567 and Product Identifier 2019-NE-21-AD at the beginning of your
comments. The FAA specifically invites comments on the overall
regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this final
rule. The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date
and may amend this final rule because of those comments.
The FAA will post all comments we receive, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact we receive about this final rule.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment,
RFA analysis is not required.
[[Page 37572]]
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 0 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
The FAA is 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
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 this AD:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.
