Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 6, 2021 / Proposed Rules
Regulatory Findings
The FAA determined that this
proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order
13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate
aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

disks with serial numbers listed in Tables 1
and 2 of Appendix A, paragraph 4., in GE
CF6–80C2 Service Bulletin (SB) 72–1562

(d) Subject
Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)
Code 7250, Turbine Section.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by an uncontained
failure of an HPT stage 2 disk and the
manufacturer’s determination to expand the
population of affected HPT disks. The FAA
is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the
HPT stage 1 disk (CF6–80C2 engines) and the
HPT stage 2 disk (CF6–80C2 and CF6–80A
engines). The unsafe condition, if not
addressed, could result in an uncontained
HPT disk release, damage to the engine, and
damage to the airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
(g) Required Actions
(1) After the effective date of this AD,
perform an ultrasonic inspection (UI) for
cracks in HPT stage 1 and stage 2 disks on
the CF6–80C2 turbofan engine at each piecepart exposure using the Accomplishment
Instructions, paragraph 3.A.(2), of GE SB 72–
1562.
(2) After the effective date of this AD,
perform a UI for cracks in HPT stage 2 disks
on the CF6–80A turbofan engine at each
piece-part exposure using the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph
3.A.(2), of GE SB 72–0869.
(3) If any disk fails the inspection required
by paragraph (g)(1) or (2) of this AD, replace
the disk with a part eligible for installation
before further flight.
(h) No Reporting Requirements
The reporting requirements specified in the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs
3.A.(2)(c) and 3.A.(2)(f), of GE SB 72–1562,
and paragraph 3.A.(3), of GE SB 72–0869, are
not required by this AD.
(i) Definitions
(1) For the purpose of this AD, a ‘‘part
eligible for installation’’ is an HPT stage 1 or
stage 2 disk:
(i) That has been inspected in accordance
with paragraph (g)(1) or (2) of this AD and
a crack or rejectable indication was not
found; or
(ii) With a serial number not listed in
Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix A, paragraph 4.,
in GE SB 72–1562, and Table 1 of
Appendix—A, paragraph 4., in GE SB 72–
0869.
(2) For the purpose of this AD, ‘‘piece-part
exposure’’ of the HPT stage 1 or stage 2 disk
is the separation of that HPT disk from its
mating rotor parts within the HPT rotor
module (thermal shield and HPT stage 1 and
stage 2 disk, respectively).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Social
Security Number Fraud Prevention Act
of 2017 (the Act) (Pub L. 115–59; 42
U.S.C. 405 note), which was signed on
September 15, 2017, restricts federal
agencies from including individuals’
SSNs on documents sent by mail unless
the head of the agency determines that
the inclusion of the SSN on the
document is necessary (section 2(a) of
the Act). The Act requires agency heads
to issue regulations specifying the
circumstances under which inclusion of
an SSN on a document sent by mail is
necessary. These regulations, which
must be issued not later than five years
after the date of enactment, shall
include instructions for the partial
redaction of SSNs where feasible, and
shall require that SSNs not be visible on
the outside of any package sent by mail
(section 2(b) of the Act). This proposed
rule would revise the Department
regulations under the Privacy Act (38
CFR 1.575), consistent with these
requirements in the Act. The proposed
revisions would clarify the language of
procedural requirements pertaining to
the inclusion of SSNs on documents
that the Department sends by mail.
Information and Regulatory Affairs has
determined that this rule is not a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866. The Regulatory
Impact Analysis associated with this
rulemaking can be found as a

benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, when regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, and other advantages;
distributive impacts; and equity).
Executive Order 13563 (Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review)

Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Secretary hereby certifies that
this proposed rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities as
they are defined in the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612). The
factual basis for this certification is that
the regulation only governs the
circumstances under which the
Department includes SSNs in mail
issued by the Department. The behavior
of small entities is not addressed in the
regulation and is therefore not
impacted. Therefore, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 605(b), the initial and final
regulatory flexibility analysis
requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 do
not apply.
Unfunded Mandates
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that
agencies prepare an assessment of
anticipated costs and benefits before
issuing any rule that may result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
(adjusted annually for inflation) in any
one year. This proposed rule will have
no such effect on State, local, and tribal
governments, or on the private sector.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This proposed rule contains no
provisions constituting a collection of
information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3521).
There are no Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance numbers and titles
for this rule.

four digits; or
(2) If truncation of the social security
number is not feasible:
(i) The Senior Agency Official for
Privacy, the Chief Privacy Officer, and
the Social Security Number Advisory
Board (SSNAB) must jointly determine
that inclusion of the social security
number on the document is necessary as
required by law; to comply with another
legal mandate; to identify a specific
individual where no adequate substitute
is available; or to fulfill a compelling
Department business need;
(ii) The document that includes the
complete social security number of an
individual must be listed on the
Complete Social Security Number

number may be visible on the outside of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Social Security Number Fraud Prevention
Act of 2017 (the Act) (Pub L. 115-59; 42 U.S.C. 405 note), which was
signed on September 15, 2017, restricts federal agencies from including
individuals' SSNs on documents sent by mail unless the head of the

which must be issued not later than five years after the date of
enactment, shall include instructions for the partial redaction of SSNs
