SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a supplemental
notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede
AD 2017–03–02, Amendment 39–18793
(82 FR 10701, February 15, 2017), (‘‘AD

FW15393, FW23643, FW23741,
FW23744, KH23403, or KH23404,
installed. The SNPRM published in the
Federal Register on November 15, 2019
(84 FR 62482). The FAA preceded the
SNPRM with an NPRM that published
in the Federal Register on August 14,
2018 (83 FR 40161). The NPRM
proposed to continue to require initial
and repetitive UIs of the affected LP
compressor blades at a reduced interval.
The SNPRM proposed to require initial
and repetitive UIs of the affected LP
compressor blade and replacement of
the LP compressor blade with a part
eligible for installation if the LP
compressor blade fails a UI. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
The European Union Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the
European Community, has issued EASA
AD 2018–0188R1, dated September 5,
2018 (referred to after this as ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to address the unsafe condition
on these products. The MCAI states:
inspection threshold (RR Alert NMSB
RB.211–72–AH465 Revision 2). Prompted by
further analysis, EASA issued AD 2017–
0241, retaining the requirements of EASA AD
2016–0141, which was superseded, further
reducing the inspection threshold and
interval (RR Alert NMSB RB.211–72–AH465
Revision 4).
Since EASA AD 2017–0241 was issued, RR
issued the NMSB to distinguish between
standard operations and NSO and to
determine the applicable inspection
threshold and interval. The flight cycles (FC)
accumulated by operators conducting NSO
have to be calculated using the beta factor
shown in Table of the NMSB. The NMSB also
introduces, for engines that have
accumulated more than 600 FC or standard
duty cycles (SDC, for engines used in NSO),
a closing date by which these have to be
inspected at least once.
For the reason described above, this
[EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA
AD 2017–0241, which is superseded, and
requires implementation of the changes
introduced.
Occurrences have been reported of LP
compressor partial aerofoil blade release
events on RR Trent 700 engines. While
primary containment of the released sections
was achieved in each case, some of the
releases did exhibit secondary effects that are
considered to present a potential hazard.
This condition, if not detected and
corrected, could lead to LP compressor blade
release with possible consequent loss of the
engine nose cowl, under cowl fires and
forward projection of secondary debris,
possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane
and/or injury to persons on the ground.
To address this potential unsafe condition,
RR published NMSB RB.211–72–G872,
providing inspection instructions and,
consequently, EASA issued AD 2012–0247 to
require a one-time inspection of the higher
life LP compressor blades. After
identification of a population of these LP
compressor blades that were incorrectly
inspected, RR issued NMSB RB.211–72–
H311 and, consequently, EASA issued AD
2013–0060, retaining the requirements of
EASA AD 2012–0247, which was
superseded, to require a one-time reinspection of the affected blades.
After that AD was issued, to mitigate the
risk of further partial LP compressor blade
release events, RR issued NMSB RB.211–72–
AH465, providing instructions for ultrasonic
inspection of the affected parts to detect subsurface anomalies in the aerofoil.
Consequently, EASA issued AD 2014–0031,
superseding [EASA] AD 2013–0060, to
require repetitive inspections of all affected
LP compressor blades and, depending on
findings, replacement.
Thereafter, EASA issued AD 2016–0141,
retaining the requirements of [EASA] AD
2014–0031, which was superseded, to reduce
Comments
The FAA gave the public the
opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the

Request To Update Service Information
Rolls-Royce plc (RR), American
Airlines (American), and Delta Air Lines
(Delta) requested that RR Alert NonModification Service Bulletin (NMSB)
RB.211–72–AH465, Revision 6, dated
November 29, 2019 (‘‘the NMSB’’), be
referenced in this AD instead of
Revision 5 of the NMSB. Delta and
American commented Revision 6 offers
an optional water-coupled phased array
inspection that provides a more reliable
and repeatable technique and increases
detection sensitivity to identify smaller
defects. RR further commented that
Revision 6 has been approved by the
European Aviation Safety Agency.
The FAA agrees. RR published
Revision 6 of the NMSB to allow an
alternative water-coupled phased array
inspection. Operators may still use the
C-scan and gel-coupled phased array
inspection techniques as specified in
Revision 6, or earlier versions, of the
NMSB.
Request To Allow Use of Later Versions
of Service Information
Delta requested that this AD allow the
use of later approved revisions of RR
Alert NMSB RB.211–72–AH465. Delta

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 62 / Tuesday, March 31, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
indicated that this is something that has
been achieved before in other FAA ADs
when an FAA AD incorporates by
reference the EASA AD.
The FAA disagrees. As set forth in
Title 1 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 51.1(f),
incorporation by reference of a
publication is limited to the edition of
the publication that is approved. Future
amendments or revisions of the
publication are not included. Further,
this AD does not incorporate by
reference the EASA AD.
Support for the AD
The Air Line Pilots Association
commented that it supports the AD as
proposed.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this AD
with the change described previously.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed RR Alert NMSB
RB.211–72–AH465, Revision 6, dated
November 29, 2019. The NMSB
describes procedures for performing a
UI of the LP compressor blades. 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

under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected individuals. The
FAA does not control warranty coverage
for affected individuals. As a result, the
FAA has included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA has received reports of four
instances of IFSDs occurring on the
affected model turbofan engines since
2019.
In response to the two IFSDs that
occurred in July and September 2019,
and in response to on-going
investigations of these IFSDs, the FAA
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
issued AD 2019–19–11 (84 FR 50719,
September 26, 2019), to perform
inspections of the LPC R1 to prevent
failures. The FAA subsequently
superseded AD 2019–19–11, issuing AD
2019–21–11 (84 FR 57813, October 29,
2019) in response to another IFSD and
to expand the population of affected
engines that needed inspection of the
LPC R1. Since the effective date of AD
2019–21–11, another IFSD occurred in
February 2020. Analysis by the
manufacturer determined that the LPC
vane schedules were putting the engine
in a condition to experience an acoustic
resonance that damages the LPC R1,
which then leads to LPC R1 failure. In
response, the manufacturer updated the
EEC FADEC software to improve vane
scheduling to avoid acoustic resonance.
This condition, if not addressed,
could result in uncontained release of
the LPC R1, damage to the engine, and
damage to the airplane. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
Related Service Information
The FAA reviewed PW Service
Bulletin (SB) PW1000G–A–73–00–
0036–00A–930A–D, Issue No. 002,
dated March 4, 2020, and PW SB
PW1000G–A–73–00–0041–00A–930A–
D, Issue No.001, dated March 4, 2020.
These SBs describe procedures for
replacing or modifying the EEC FADEC
software.
FAA’s Determination
The FAA is issuing this AD because
it 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.
AD Requirements
This AD requires the removal from
service of certain EEC FADEC software
and the installation of a software
version eligible for installation.
Interim Action
The FAA considers this AD interim
action. The root cause of the LPC R1
failures is still being investigated and
the FAA will consider further
rulemaking depending on the results of
the investigation.
Justification for Immediate Adoption
and Determination of the Effective Date
Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C.) authorizes agencies to dispense
with notice and comment procedures
for rules when the agency, for ‘‘good
cause,’’ finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2017-03-02, Amendment 39-18793
(82 FR 10701, February 15, 2017), (``AD 2017-03-02''). AD 2017-03-02
applied to Rolls-Royce, Deutschland Ltd. & Co. KG (formerly Rolls-Royce
plc) RB211 Trent 768-60, 772-60, and 772B-60 turbofan engines, with LP
compressor blade, part number (P/N) FK23411, FK25441, FK25968, FW11901,
FW15393, FW23643, FW23741, FW23744, KH23403, or KH23404, installed. The
SNPRM published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2019 (84 FR
62482). The FAA preceded the SNPRM with an NPRM that published in the
Federal Register on August 14, 2018 (83 FR 40161). The NPRM proposed to
continue to require initial and repetitive UIs of the affected LP
compressor blades at a reduced interval. The SNPRM proposed to require
initial and repetitive UIs of the affected LP compressor blade and
replacement of the LP compressor blade with a part eligible for
installation if the LP compressor blade fails a UI. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has
issued EASA AD 2018-0188R1, dated September 5, 2018 (referred to after
this as ``the MCAI''), to address the unsafe condition on these
products. The MCAI states:
Occurrences have been reported of LP compressor partial aerofoil
blade release events on RR Trent 700 engines. While primary
containment of the released sections was achieved in each case, some
of the releases did exhibit secondary effects that are considered to
present a potential hazard.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to LP
compressor blade release with possible consequent loss of the engine
nose cowl, under cowl fires and forward projection of secondary
debris, possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane and/or injury
to persons on the ground.
To address this potential unsafe condition, RR published NMSB
RB.211-72-G872, providing inspection instructions and, consequently,
EASA issued AD 2012-0247 to require a one-time inspection of the
higher life LP compressor blades. After identification of a
population of these LP compressor blades that were incorrectly
inspected, RR issued NMSB RB.211-72-H311 and, consequently, EASA
issued AD 2013-0060, retaining the requirements of EASA AD 2012-
0247, which was superseded, to require a one-time re-inspection of
the affected blades.
After that AD was issued, to mitigate the risk of further
partial LP compressor blade release events, RR issued NMSB RB.211-
72-AH465, providing instructions for ultrasonic inspection of the
affected parts to detect sub-surface anomalies in the aerofoil.
Consequently, EASA issued AD 2014-0031, superseding [EASA] AD 2013-
0060, to require repetitive inspections of all affected LP
compressor blades and, depending on findings, replacement.
Thereafter, EASA issued AD 2016-0141, retaining the requirements
of [EASA] AD 2014-0031, which was superseded, to reduce inspection
threshold (RR Alert NMSB RB.211-72-AH465 Revision 2). Prompted by
further analysis, EASA issued AD 2017-0241, retaining the
requirements of EASA AD 2016-0141, which was superseded, further
reducing the inspection threshold and interval (RR Alert NMSB
RB.211-72-AH465 Revision 4).
Since EASA AD 2017-0241 was issued, RR issued the NMSB to
distinguish between standard operations and NSO and to determine the
applicable inspection threshold and interval. The flight cycles (FC)
accumulated by operators conducting NSO have to be calculated using
the beta factor shown in Table of the NMSB. The NMSB also
introduces, for engines that have accumulated more than 600 FC or
standard duty cycles (SDC, for engines used in NSO), a closing date
by which these have to be inspected at least once.
For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2017-0241, which is superseded, and requires
implementation of the changes introduced.
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-2018-0538.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the
SNPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.
Request To Update Service Information
Rolls-Royce plc (RR), American Airlines (American), and Delta Air
Lines (Delta) requested that RR Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin
(NMSB) RB.211-72-AH465, Revision 6, dated November 29, 2019 (``the
NMSB''), be referenced in this AD instead of Revision 5 of the NMSB.
Delta and American commented Revision 6 offers an optional water-
coupled phased array inspection that provides a more reliable and
repeatable technique and increases detection sensitivity to identify
smaller defects. RR further commented that Revision 6 has been approved
by the European Aviation Safety Agency.
The FAA agrees. RR published Revision 6 of the NMSB to allow an
alternative water-coupled phased array inspection. Operators may still
use the C-scan and gel-coupled phased array inspection techniques as
specified in Revision 6, or earlier versions, of the NMSB.
Request To Allow Use of Later Versions of Service Information
Delta requested that this AD allow the use of later approved
revisions of RR Alert NMSB RB.211-72-AH465. Delta
[[Page 17740]]
indicated that this is something that has been achieved before in other
FAA ADs when an FAA AD incorporates by reference the EASA AD.
The FAA disagrees. As set forth in Title 1 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 51.1(f), incorporation by reference of a
publication is limited to the edition of the publication that is
approved. Future amendments or revisions of the publication are not
included. Further, this AD does not incorporate by reference the EASA
AD.
Support for the AD
The Air Line Pilots Association commented that it supports the AD
as proposed.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this AD with the change described previously.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed RR Alert NMSB RB.211-72-AH465, Revision 6, dated
November 29, 2019. The NMSB describes procedures for performing a UI of
the LP compressor blades. 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
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 56 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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspect LP compressor blade........... 44 work-hours x $85 per $0 $3,740 $209,440
hour = $3,740.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
inspection. The FAA has no way of determining the number of engines
that might need this replacement.
On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per
Action Labor cost Parts cost product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace LP compressor blade (one blade per 77 6 work-hours x $85 per hour = $103,000 $103,510
engine sets). $510.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, the FAA has included all costs in our cost
estimate.
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.
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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) 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.
