ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2006-18-14 for all Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Tay 650-15 and Tay 651-54 turbofan engines. AD 2006-18-14 required calculating and re- establishing the cyclic life of stage 1 high-pressure turbine (HPT) disks, part number (P/N) JR32013 and P/N JR33838, and stage 1 low- pressure turbine (LPT) disk, P/N JR32318A. In addition, this AD requires re-calculating the cyclic life, and would impose a reduced cyclic life of stage 1 HPT disk, P/N JR32013. This AD was prompted by RRD review of the cyclic life limit of parts affected by AD 2006-18-14 and the RRD conclusion that the stage 1 HPT disk, P/N JR32013, requires further cyclic life limit reduction. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of stage 1 HPT disks, P/N JR32013 and P/N JR33838, and stage 1 LPT disk, P/N JR32318A, uncontained disk release and damage to the airplane. DATES: This AD is effective September 27, 2016. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference a certain publication listed in this AD as of September 27, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2006-18-14, Amendment 39-14753 (71 FR 52988, September 8, 2006), (``AD 2006-18-14''). AD 2006-18-14 applied to the specified products. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on March 11, 2016 (81 FR 12841). The NPRM proposed to require calculating and re-establishing the cyclic life of stage 1 HPT disks, P/N JR32013 and P/N JR33838, and stage 1 LPT disk, P/N JR32318A. The NPRM also proposed to require removing from service, using a drawdown schedule, those stage 1 HPT disks and stage 1 LPT disks operated under Tay 650-15 engine flight plan profiles A, B, C, or D; or operated under the Tay 651-54 engine datum flight profile, at reduced cyclic life limits found in the RRD Time Limits Manual (TLM) T-TAY-3RR, Chapter 05, Time Limits, Subject 05-10-01, dated September 15, 2014 and T-TAY-5RR, Chapter 05- 10-01, dated September 15, 2014. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We considered the comments received. Changes to Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 We removed Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) No. TAY- 72-A1821, Revision 1, dated March 26, 2015 from Related Service Information under 1 CFR part 51, which is not incorporated by reference in this AD. We added the RRD TLM T-TAY-3RR, Chapter 05, Time Limits, Subject 05-10-01, dated September 15, 2014. Request To Change Compliance RRD requests that the cyclic life limits for the HPT stage 1 disk, P/N JR33838, installed in RRD Tay 650-15 and Tay 651-54 engines to be changed in this AD to match the life limits found in the RRD TLM T-TAY- 3RR, Chapter 05, Time Limits, Subject 05-10-01, dated September 15, 2014 and the RRD TLM T-TAY-5RR, Chapter 05-10-01, dated September 15, 2014. RRD updated their lifing analysis for the HPT stage 1 disk, P/N JR33838 and their new analysis justified an increased cyclic life limit for the HPT stage 1 disk, P/N JR33838 installed in the RRD Tay 650-15 and Tay 651-54 engines for certain flight profiles. These life increases were reflected in the applicable service bulletin and the TLM and the FAA did not have an opportunity to mandate the increase in the cyclic life limits via AD until now. The FAA previously addressed the increase in the life limits via a global AMOC. We agree. The FAA accepts RRD's new lifing analysis. We changed the cyclic life limits in paragraphs (e)(3)(i)(B), (C), and (D) of this AD for the HPT stage 1 disk, P/N JR33838, installed in RRD Tay 650-15 engines to 21,000 flight cycles since new (FCSN), 18,000 FCSN, and 14,250 FCSN for flight profiles B, C, and D, respectively. We also changed the cyclic life limit in paragraph (e)(3)(i)(E) of this AD for the HPT stage 1 disk, P/N JR33838, installed in RRD Tay 651-54 engines to 14,250 FCSN for any flight profile. Conclusion We reviewed the available data, including the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 RRD TLM T-TAY-3RR, Chapter 05, Time Limits, Subject 05-10-01, dated September 15, 2014, contains information on re-calculating the cyclic life. 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. [[Page 57448]] Other Related Service Information RRD TLM T-TAY-5RR, Chapter 05-10-01, dated September 15, 2014 provides the new, reduced cyclic life limits for RRD Tay 651-54 engines operated under any engine flight plan profile. RRD Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin TAY-72-A1821, Revision 1, dated March 26, 2015, provides reduced cyclic life limits for RRD Tay 650-15 and RRD Tay 651-54 engines operated under various affected flight plan profiles. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 25 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 0.5 hours per engine to comply with this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. The pro-rated life limit reduction cost is about $23,053 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $577,388. 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 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, (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (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) 2006-18-14, Amendment 39-14753 (71 FR 52988, September 8, 2006), (``AD 2006-18-14''), and adding the following new AD: 2016-17-01 Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (formerly Rolls-Royce plc): Amendment 39-18614; Docket No. FAA-2006-25513; Directorate Identifier 99-NE-61-AD. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective September 27, 2016. (b) Affected ADs This AD supersedes AD 2006-18-14.
