We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2015-04- 03 that applies to certain Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 768-60, 772-60, and 772B-60 turbofan engines. AD 2015-04-03 requires inspection of the sealing sleeve on the high-pressure/intermediate-pressure (HP/ IP) turbine support internal oil feed tube and removal of those sealing sleeves affected by AD 2015-04-03. This proposed AD would require removal of either the affected sealing sleeve only or both the affected sealing sleeve and the oil feed tube. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the HP/IP turbine support internal oil feed tube, which could lead to uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2015-04-
03 that applies to certain Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 768-60, 
772-60, and 772B-60 turbofan engines. AD 2015-04-03 requires inspection 
of the sealing sleeve on the high-pressure/intermediate-pressure (HP/
IP) turbine support internal oil feed tube and removal of those sealing 
sleeves affected by AD 2015-04-03. This proposed AD would require 
removal of either the affected sealing sleeve only or both the affected 
sealing sleeve and the oil feed tube. We are proposing this AD to 
prevent failure of the HP/IP turbine support internal oil feed tube, 
which could lead to uncontained engine failure and damage to the 
airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 11, 
2016.

Discussion

    On February 11, 2015, we issued AD 2015-04-03, Amendment 39-18105 
(80

[[Page 69626]]

FR 9380, February 23, 2015), for certain RR RB211 Trent 768-60, 772-60, 
and 772B-60 turbofan engines. AD 2015-04-03 requires inspection of the 
sealing sleeve on the HP/IP turbine support internal oil feed tube and 
removal of those sealing sleeves affected by AD 2015-04-03. AD 2015-04-
03 resulted from fractures of the HP/IP turbine support internal oil 
feed tube. We issued AD 2015-04-03 to prevent failure of the HP/IP 
turbine support internal oil feed tube, which could result in 
uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2015-04-03 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2015-04-03, Amendment 39-18105 (80 FR 9380, 
February 23, 2015), we received a report of high oil consumption on an 
engine that did not have an affected sealing sleeve. The manufacturer's 
investigation revealed that certain oil feed tube threaded end adapters 
were manufactured with the outer diameter larger than the drawing 
maximum, which can cause binding of the sliding joint and ultimately 
lead to low-cycle fatigue failure of the HP/IP turbine support internal 
oil feed tube. Also since we issued AD 2015-04-03, the European 
Aviation Safety Agency has issued AD 2015-0105R1, dated August 18, 
2015, which requires inspection of the affected sealing sleeve and 
removal of the affected sealing sleeve or removal of both the affected 
sealing sleeve and oil feed tube.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    RR has issued RR Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) No. 
RB.211-72-AJ035, Revision 2, dated August 10, 2015 and RR Service 
Bulletin (SB) No. RB.211-72-H754, dated October 1, 2014. The Alert NMSB 
No. RB.211-72-AJ035, Revision 2, dated August 10, 2015, provides 
guidance on identification of the sealing sleeve, part number (P/N) 
FW15003, and replacement of the non-conforming sealing sleeve, P/N 
FW15003, with a conforming sealing sleeve, P/N FW15003. The SB No. 
RB.211-72-H754, dated October 1, 2014, provides information on the 
replacement of the sealing sleeve, P/N FW15003, and oil feed tube, P/N 
FW14193, with a sealing sleeve, P/N KH28323 and oil feed tube, P/N 
KH28324. This service information is reasonably available because the 
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of 
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section of this 
NPRM.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant 
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is 
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require removal of the affected sealing 
sleeve only or both the affected sealing sleeve and the oil feed tube. 
Both corrective actions eliminate the unsafe condition caused by 
affected sealing sleeves and/or affected oil feed tube threaded end 
adapters.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 58 engines installed on 
airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 
1.2 hours per engine to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor 
rate is $85 per hour. Required parts cost approximately $5,850 per 
engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed 
AD on U.S. operators to be $345,216.

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.
    We are 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

    We have 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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies 
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent 
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or 
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the 
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.


Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing airworthiness directive (AD) 
2015-04-03, Amendment 39-18105 (80 FR 9380, February 23, 2015) (``AD 
2015-04-03''), and adding the following new AD:

Rolls-Royce plc: Docket No. FAA-2014-0561; Directorate Identifier 
2014-NE-12-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by January 11, 2016.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2015-04-03.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 768-60, 772-
60, and 772B-60 turbofan engines, all serial numbers, except those 
engines:
    (1) That have had Modification 72-H754 applied in production, or
    (2) that have been modified in accordance with RR Service 
Bulletin (SB) No. RB.211-72-H754, dated October 1, 2014, or
    (3) with sealing sleeve, part number (P/N) FW15003, with 
markings 102013, 112013, or 102013L.

(d) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by fractures of the high-pressure/
intermediate pressure (HP/IP) turbine support internal oil feed 
tube. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HP/IP turbine 
support internal oil feed tube, which could result in uncontained 
engine failure and damage to the airplane.

markings 102013, 112013, or 102013L, or if the markings cannot be 
sufficiently identified, then within 1,600 flight cycles or 24 
months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first:
    (i) Remove the affected sealing sleeve, P/N FW15003, and replace
