growers to determine whether they favor
continuance of the marketing order
regulating the handling of pears grown
in Oregon and Washington.
DATES: The referendum will be
conducted from May 8 through May 30,
2023. Only current pear growers who
grew pears within the designated
production area during the period July
1, 2021, through June 30, 2022, are
eligible to vote in this referendum.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the marketing
order may be obtained from the office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to Marketing Order No. 927, as amended
(7 CFR part 927), hereinafter referred to

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:18 Apr 06, 2023
Jkt 259001
as the ‘‘Order,’’ and the applicable
provisions of the Agricultural Marketing
Agreement Act of 1937, as amended (7
U.S.C. 601–674), hereinafter referred to
as the ‘‘Act,’’ it is hereby directed that
a referendum be conducted to ascertain
whether continuance of the Order is
favored by pear growers. The
referendum shall be conducted from
March 20 to March 31, 2023, among
pear growers in the production area.
Only current pear growers that were
engaged in the production of pears
during the period of July 1, 2021,
through June 30, 2022, may participate
in the continuance referendum.
USDA has determined that
continuance referenda are an effective
means for determining whether growers
favor continuation of marketing order
programs. USDA would consider
termination of the Order if less than
two-thirds of growers voting in the
referendum, and growers of less than
two-thirds of the volume represented in
the referendum favor continuance. In
evaluating the merits of continuance
versus termination, USDA will not
exclusively consider the results of the
continuance referendum. USDA will
also consider all other relevant
information concerning the operation of
the Order and the relative benefits and
costs to growers, handlers, and
consumers to determine whether
continued operation of the Order would
tend to effectuate the declared policy of
the Act.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the ballot materials used in
the referendum have been approved by
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and have been assigned OMB
No. 0581–0189, Fruit Crops. It has been
estimated that it will take an average of
20 minutes for each of the
approximately 1,500 Oregon and
Washington pear growers to cast a
ballot. Participation is voluntary. Ballots
postmarked after March 31, 2023, will
not be included in the vote tabulation.
Dale Novotny and Gary Olson of the
Western Region Branch, Market
Development Division, Specialty Crops
Program, Agricultural Marketing
Service, USDA, are hereby designated as
the referendum agents of the Secretary
of Agriculture to conduct this
referendum. The procedure applicable
to the referendum shall be the
‘‘Procedure for the Conduct of

Ballots will be mailed to all eligible
pear growers of record and may also be
obtained from the referendum agents or
their appointees.

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce
Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Turbofan
Engines
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd &
Co KG (RRD) Trent 1000 model turbofan
engines. This proposed AD was
prompted by reports of excessive wear
on the inner seal fins of certain highpressure turbine (HPT) triple seals. This
proposed AD would require an
inspection of the HPT triple seal for
excessive wear and, depending on the
results of the inspection, replacement of
the HPT triple seal and the
intermediate-pressure turbine (IPT)
disk, as specified in a European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD,
which is proposed for incorporation by
reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments
on this NPRM by May 22, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,
using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

actually treated as private by its owner.
Under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt
from public disclosure. If your
comments responsive to this NPRM
contain commercial or financial
information that is customarily treated
as private, that you actually treat as
private, and that is relevant or
responsive to this NPRM, it is important
that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each
page of your submission containing CBI
as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such
marked submissions as confidential
under the FOIA, and they will not be

Background
EASA, which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Union, has issued EASA AD 2022–0241,
dated December 7, 2022 (EASA AD
2022–0241) (also referred to as the
MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain RRD Trent 1000–AE3, Trent
1000–CE3, Trent 1000–D3, Trent 1000–
G3, Trent 1000–H3, Trent 1000–J3,
Trent 1000–K3, Trent 1000–L3, Trent
1000–M3, Trent 1000–N3, Trent 1000–
P3, Trent 1000–Q3, and Trent 1000–R3
model turbofan engines. The MCAI
states that occurrences have been
reported of finding higher than expected
levels of wear on the seal fins of certain
HPT triple seals. The secondary air
system is affected by the resulting
increased turbine cooling air leakage,
which changes the air flow around the
IPT disk.
The Modulated Air System (MAS)
was designed to optimize cooling air
flow and intended to be active only
during cruise conditions, but the design
did not account for a high level of seal
wear. Rolls-Royce issued NonModification Service Bulletin Trent
1000 75–AK642, Initial Issue, dated
November 30, 2020, to provide
instructions for MAS deactivation, and
consequently, EASA published EASA
AD 2021–0009, dated January 8, 2021,
specifying deactivation of the MAS
control valves. Despite this, a
significantly worn HPT triple seal under
flight conditions, while MAS was
activated prior to the above action,
could have reduced the safety of flight.
You may examine the MCAI in the
AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA–2023–0660.
