Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking. Background On March 7, 2024, the FAA received a report of electrical arcing on certain life-limited critical parts for CFM Model CFM56–2, CFM56–3, CFM56–5, CFM56–5B, CFM56–5C, and CFM56–7B engines. A maintenance facility reported evidence of electrical arcing and identified the root cause as the use of a certain induction heater during maintenance, which resulted in unintended electrical arcing to those parts. The manufacturer determined that certain CDP seals, HPC stage 3 disks, and HPT rear shafts were subject to the same induction heater during maintenance and may also have electrical arcing damage. This condition, if not addressed, could result in premature fracture of certain CDP seals, HPC stage 3 disks, and HPT rear shafts, with consequent uncontained part release, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and loss of the airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. FAA’s Determination The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency has 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 replacing certain CDP seals, HPC stage 3 disks, and HPT rear shafts. This AD also prohibits installation of certain CDP seals, HPC stage 3 disks, and HPT rear shafts on any engine, and prohibits installation of any engine with certain CDP seals, HPC E:\FR\FM\22MRR1.SGM 22MRR1 20304 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 57 / Friday, March 22, 2024 / Rules and Regulations stage 3 disks, and HPT rear shafts installed on any airplane. 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. 551 et seq.) 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 to the public interest.’’ Under this section, an agency, upon finding good cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days, upon a finding of good cause. An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies forgoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule due to maintenance anomalies that could result in premature fracture of certain life-limited critical parts, with consequent uncontained part release, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and loss of the airplane. The compliance time for replacement of these parts is before further flight after the effective date of this AD. The longer these parts remain in service, the higher the probability of failure. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days, for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forgo notice and comment. Regulatory Flexibility Act The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and comment. Because FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt this rule without prior notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required. Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD affects 3 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates that three engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry require replacement of the CDP seal. The FAA estimates that two engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry require replacement of the HPC stage 3 disk and HPT rear shaft. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD: ESTIMATED COSTS Action Labor cost Replace CDP seal ........................ Replace HPC stage 3 disk ........... Replace HPT rear shaft ................ 8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ............................... 8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ............................... 8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ............................... Authority for This Rulemaking ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 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. 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, and (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2024-0760; Project Identifier AD-2024-00175-E; 
Amendment 39-22714; AD 2024-06-09]
RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; CFM International, S.A. Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments 
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under 
ADDRESSES. Include ``FAA-2024-0760; Project Identifier AD-2024-00175-
E'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful comments 
reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the reason for 
any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA will 
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this 
final rule because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in 
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR 
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to 
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The 
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal 
contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily 
and 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 AD 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 AD, 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 placed in the public 
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Sungmo 
Cho, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 2200 South 216th Street, Des 
Moines, WA 98198. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not 
specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for 
this rulemaking.

Background

    On March 7, 2024, the FAA received a report of electrical arcing on 
certain life-limited critical parts for CFM Model CFM56-2, CFM56-3, 
CFM56-5, CFM56-5B, CFM56-5C, and CFM56-7B engines. A maintenance 
facility reported evidence of electrical arcing and identified the root 
cause as the use of a certain induction heater during maintenance, 
which resulted in unintended electrical arcing to those parts. The 
manufacturer determined that certain CDP seals, HPC stage 3 disks, and 
HPT rear shafts were subject to the same induction heater during 
maintenance and may also have electrical arcing damage. This condition, 
if not addressed, could result in premature fracture of certain CDP 
seals, HPC stage 3 disks, and HPT rear shafts, with consequent 
uncontained part release, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, 
and loss of the airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the 
unsafe condition on these products.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency has 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 replacing certain CDP seals, HPC stage 3 disks, 
and HPT rear shafts. This AD also prohibits installation of certain CDP 
seals, HPC stage 3 disks, and HPT rear shafts on any engine, and 
prohibits installation of any engine with certain CDP seals, HPC

[[Page 20304]]

stage 3 disks, and HPT rear shafts installed on any airplane.

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. 551 et seq.) 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 to 
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good 
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking 
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA 
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days, 
upon a finding of good cause.
    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of 
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to 
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public 
justifies forgoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule 
due to maintenance anomalies that could result in premature fracture of 
certain life-limited critical parts, with consequent uncontained part 
release, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and loss of the 
airplane. The compliance time for replacement of these parts is before 
further flight after the effective date of this AD. The longer these 
parts remain in service, the higher the probability of failure. 
Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are 
impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B).
    In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days, 
for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forgo notice and 
comment.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not 
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt 
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because FAA has determined 
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without prior notice and 
comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 3 engines installed on 
airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates that three engines 
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry require replacement of the CDP 
seal. The FAA estimates that two engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 
registry require replacement of the HPC stage 3 disk and HPT rear

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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 7200, Engine 
(Turbine/Turboprop).

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a report of evidence of electrical 
arcing on certain life-limited critical parts. The FAA is issuing 
this AD to prevent premature fracture of certain compressor 
discharge pressure (CDP) seals, high-pressure compressor (HPC) stage 
3 disks, and high-pressure turbine (HPT) rear shafts. The unsafe 
condition, if not addressed, could lead to uncontained part release, 
damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and loss of the 
airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 
unless already done.

(g) Required Actions

    Before further flight after the effective date of this AD, 
remove from service each CDP seal, HPC stage 3 disk, and HPT rear 
shaft having a part number (P/N) and serial number (S/N) specified 
in Table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD and replace with a part 
eligible for installation.
