This AD was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed that certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 2 disks, forward seals, and stages 6–10 compressor rotor spools were manufactured from powder metal material suspected to contain iron inclusion. This AD requires replacement of the affected HPT stage 2 disks, forward seals, and stages 6–10 compressor rotor spools. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective January 26, 2023. ADDRESSES: AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2022– 0978; or in person at Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Appendix F to Subpart F of Part 431— Uniform Test Method for the Measurement of Energy Consumption of Air-Cooled, Three-Phase, Small Commercial Package Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment With a Cooling Capacity of Less Than 65,000 Btu/h and Air-Cooled, Three-Phase, Variable Refrigerant Flow Multi-Split Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps With a Cooling Capacity of Less Than 65,000 Btu/h [FR Doc. C1–2022–26418 Filed 12–21–22; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 0099–10–P Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:02 Dec 21, 2022 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain GEnx–1B64, GEnx– 1B64/P1, GEnx–1B64/P2, GEnx–1B67, GEnx–1B67/P1, GEnx–1B67/P2, GEnx– 1B70, GEnx–1B70/75/P1, GEnx–1B70/ 75/P2, GEnx–1B70/P1, GEnx–1B70/P2, GEnx–1B70C/P1, GEnx–1B70C/P2, GEnx–1B74/75/P1, GEnx–1B74/75/P2, GEnx–1B76/P2, GEnx–1B76A/P2 (GEnx–1B), GEnx–2B67, GEnx–2B67B, and GEnx–2B67/P (GEnx–2B) model turbofan engines. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 9, 2022 (87 FR 55328). The NPRM was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed that certain HPT stage 2 disks, forward seals, and stages 6–10 compressor rotor spools were manufactured from powder metal material suspected to contain iron inclusion. Further investigation by the manufacturer determined that the iron inclusion is attributed to deficiencies in the manufacturing process. The investigation by the manufacturer also determined that certain GEnx–1B and GEnx–2B HPT stage 2 disks, forward seals, and stages 6–10 compressor rotor spools made from billets manufactured using the same process may have reduced material properties and a lower fatigue life capability due to iron inclusion, which may cause premature fracture and uncontained failure. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require replacement of certain HPT stage 2 disks, forward seals, and stages 6–10 compressor rotor spools with parts eligible for installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received comments from four commenters. The commenters were Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), American Airlines, GE Aviation, and The Boeing Company (Boeing). ALPA, American Airlines, and Boeing supported the proposed AD without change. GE Aviation requested a change to the proposed AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to each comment. E:\FR\FM\22DER1.SGM 22DER1
