Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain GE Model GEnx–1B64/ P2, GEnx–1B67/P2, GEnx–1B70/75/P2, GEnx–1B70/P2, GEnx–1B70C/P2, GEnx–1B74/75/P2, GEnx–1B76/P2, GEnx–1B76A/P2, and GEnx–2B67/P engines. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2023 (88 FR 22383). The NPRM was prompted by a report from the manufacturer of the detection of iron inclusion in a highpressure turbine stage 2 disk manufactured from the same powder metal material used to manufacture certain stages 6–10 compressor rotor spools and forward seals. A manufacturer investigation determined that the iron inclusion was introduced during the manufacturing process from raw material filtering screens that had degraded, and certain stages 6–10 compressor rotor spools and forward seals manufactured using the same process may have reduced material properties and a lower fatigue life capability due to the iron inclusion. Further investigation by the manufacturer identified additional degraded filtering screens which had the potential to increase the population of parts that were subjected to iron inclusion during manufacturing. As a result of its investigation, GE published service information that specifies procedures for the removal and PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 replacement of certain stages 6–10 compressor rotor spools and forward seals. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require removal of the affected stages 6–10 compressor rotor spools and forward seals and replacement with a part 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 three commenters. The commenters were the Airline Pilots Association, International (ALPA), American Airlines (AA), and United Airlines. AA requested changes to the NPRM. ALPA supported the NPRM without change. United Airlines reviewed the NPRM but did not include any additional comments. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to each comment. Request for Guidance on Thrust Limit AA requested that the FAA provide guidance on which thrust limit to apply for engines with multiple thrust ratings. AA also asked if the FAA’s intention is to set the thrust limit based on the thrust rating at removal, or if the expectation is to apply the lowest limit that the engine operated under. AA noted that it has a spool operating where the proposed AD limit would be 6,200 cycles, but it previously operated at a higher thrust rating such that the limit was 1,000 cycles less. The FAA agrees to clarify. The intention of the thrust limit is for operators to remove the affected stages 6–10 compressor rotor spool or affected forward seal from service at the next piece-part exposure, or no later than the cyclic thresholds listed in the applicable service bulletins that are incorporated by reference. The FAA notes that since multiple thrust ratings are listed in the service bulletins, the intent is to set the cyclic removal threshold based on the thrust rating that is applicable at the time the AD is issued, not at the lowest thrust rating that a part has ever operated under. The FAA did not change this AD as a result of this comment. Request To Update Service Bulletin Shorthand AA requested that the FAA add the revision levels to the shorthand reference of each service bulletin in paragraph (g) and (h) of this AD. AA noted that –1B operators do not have access to –2B bulletins, and vice versa, so –1B operators will not be notified if the –2B service bulletin is revised, and E:\FR\FM\18SER1.SGM 18SER1
