SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2017-0114; Directorate Identifier 2017-NE-03-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of those comments. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact with FAA personnel concerning this AD. Discussion The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA AD 2017-0071, dated April 26, 2017 (referred to hereinafter as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: It has been determined that certain compressor intermediate cases (CIC), repaired by RR Repair FRSC005, have a higher probability of cracking, due to increased residual stresses which were applied during the weld repair process. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to CIC failure, possibly resulting in damage to, and/or reduced control of, the aeroplane. To address this potential unsafe condition, RR released Alert Non- Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) RB.211-72-AH976, later revised, providing inspection instructions. For the reason described above, this AD requires a one-time fluorescent-penetrant inspection (FPI) of each affected CIC and, depending on findings, accomplishment of a repair. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-0114. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 RR has issued Alert NMSB RB.211-72-AH976, Revision 2, dated March 16, 2017. The Alert NMSB describes procedures for FPI of the CIC that have RR Repair FRSC005 applied to them. 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. FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD This product has been approved by the aviation authority of the United Kingdom, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the European Community, EASA has notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design. This AD requires one-time FPI of each affected CIC and, depending on findings, accomplishment of a repair. FAA's Determination of the Effective Date No domestic operators use this product. Therefore, we find that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are unnecessary and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 0 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD: Estimated Costs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost per Cost on U.S. Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspection............................ 2.0 work-hours x $85 per $0 $170.00 $0 hour = $170.00. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 [[Page 24035]] that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action. Regulatory Findings We determined that 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 this AD: (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 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 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 adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD): 2017-10-06 Rolls-Royce plc: Amendment 39-18880; Docket No. FAA-2017- 0114; Directorate Identifier 2017-NE-03-AD. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective June 9, 2017. (b) Affected ADs None. (c) Applicability This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 768-60, RB211 Trent 772-60, and RB211 Trent 772B-60 turbofan engines that have a compressor intermediate case (CIC) that was repaired using RR Repair FRSC005. (d) Subject Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) 7230, Turbine Engine Compressor Section. (e) Reason This AD was prompted by CICs that were weld repaired and have a higher probability of cracking due to increased residual stresses as a result of the weld repair process. We are issuing this AD to prevent CIC failure, engine separation and loss of the airplane. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Required Actions (1) Inspect repaired CICs during the next shop visit, or within 6,000 engine flight cycles, whichever occurs first, after the effective date of this AD, using paragraph 3.B.(1)(c) of the Accomplishment Instructions, of RR Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) RB.211-72-AH976, Revision 2, dated March 16, 2017. (2) If a CIC fails inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, either repair the CIC using paragraph 3.B.(2)(b) of the Accomplishment Instructions, of RR Alert NMSB RB.211-72-AH976, Revision 2, dated March 16, 2017, or, replace the CIC with a part eligible for installation, before next flight. (h) Definitions For the purpose of this AD, a shop visit is the induction of an engine into the shop for maintenance or overhaul that requires the separation of major mating engine module flanges. The separation of engine flanges solely for the purpose of transporting the engine without subsequent engine maintenance does not constitute an engine shop visit. (i) Installation Prohibition After the effective date of this AD, do not install an affected intermediate module on an engine unless the CIC has passed the inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. (j) Credit for Previous Actions You may take credit for the inspections and corrective action required by paragraph (g) of this AD, if you performed these actions before the effective date of this AD using RR Alert NMSB RB.211-72- AH976, original issue, dated November 3, 2016 or RR Alert NMSB RB.211-72-AH976, Revision 1, dated November 17, 2016.
