SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Pratt & Whitney Division (PW) PW4052, PW4056, PW4060, PW4062, PW4062A, PW4152, PW4156A, PW4158, PW4460, and PW4462 turbofan engine models, including engines identified with suffixes -1C, -1E, -3, -3A, or -3B. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on October 12, 2017 (82 FR 47405). The NPRM was prompted by the discovery of multiple cracked 4th stage LPT air seals, part number (P/N) 50N346, in the fleet. An investigation determined there is insufficient clearance to the 4th stage LPT vane cluster honeycomb that makes up the other half of the sealing system. Also, the knife edge seals are uncoated so they are more susceptible to overheating if a hard rub with the honeycomb occurs. The NPRM proposed to require the removal from service of certain 4th stage LPT air seals. Replacement of the air seal also requires replacement of the 4th stage LPT vane cluster honeycomb. This condition, if not corrected, could result in failure of the air seal, uncontained air seal release, damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this final rule. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment. Request To Clarify Compliance Time United Parcel Service, United Airlines, SR Technics, Delta Airlines (DAL), Atlas Air, Federal Express (FedEx), and the Boeing Company requested that we clarify the compliance time requirement specified in the NPRM, paragraph (f)(1), which stated ``at the next disassembly of the LPT module, remove 4th stage air seal, P/N 50N346, from service and replace with a part eligible for installation'' because the term ``disassembly'' is subjective and not defined elsewhere in the NPRM. DAL requested that we specify a compliance time in the final rule since paragraph (f)(1) of the NPRM indicates that the compliance actions should be done in accordance with the compliance times specified in the AD. We agree. We clarified that the compliance in this AD should be performed ``the next time the 4th stage LPT vanes are removed from the LPT module.'' Request for Clarification on Installation Prohibition DAL requested clarification on the acceptability of returning an LPT to service with P/N 50N346 installed if the air seal was not exposed at the piece-part level, because the LPT disassembly was limited. An LPT module with a 4th stage air seal, P/N 50N346, installed, may be returned to service, if the 4th stage LPT vanes are not removed. However, replacement of the 4th stage air seal is required, when the 4th stage LPT vanes are removed. This would include, if the 4th stage LPT air seal was at the piece-part exposure level. Request for Clarification on Replacement of Affected Air Seals Cathay Pacific Airways (CPA) asked if replacing the 4th stage LPT air seal, P/N 50N346, with any of the other 4th stage LPT air seals depicted in the Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) fulfills the AD requirement or if P/N 51N113 is the only suitable air seal for replacement. CPA further requested that we define what is ``a part eligible for installation'' [[Page 27890]] in paragraph (f)(1) of the NPRM which states ``at the next disassembly of the LPT module, remove 4th stage air seal, P/N 50N346, from service and replace with a part eligible for installation.'' Currently, P/N 51N113 is the only 4th stage LPT air seal suitable for P/N 50N346 replacement. However, new replacement air seals may be developed in the future. We did not change this AD. Service Bulletin Comment CPA stated that PW Service Bulletin (SB) PW4ENG A72-830, Revision No. 1, dated May 2, 2017, listed P/N 51N113 as the only part eligible for installation. However, the service bulletin is not clearly listed in paragraph (f) of the NPRM. We disagree. We listed PW SB PW4ENG A72-830, Revision No. 1, dated May 2, 2017, in the ``Related Service Information'' section of the NPRM, which was the appropriate paragraph. We did not change this AD. Request for Clarification on Applicability of AD Atlas Air asked if the AD applies to engines with 4th stage LPT air seals, P/N 51N038, 50N478, or 50N478-001, installed. We determined this AD only applies to engines with 4th stage LPT air seal, P/N 50N346, installed. Request for Clarification on Repair Limits Atlas Air asked if PW Clean, Inspect, Repair (CIR) 72-53-40 Inspection/Check-03 limits apply to the 4th stage LPT air seal, P/N 51N113. If so, Atlas Air is concerned that the reduced knife edge might get scrapped due to reduced diameters. The intent of this AD is to install a 4th stage LPT air seal with reduced knife edge diameters. This AD does not impact the CIR 72-53-40 Inspection/Check-03 limits. Request for Clarification on Re-Installation Prohibition Atlas Air asked if 4th stage LPT air seals, P/N 51N038, 50N478, or 50N478-001 are prohibited from re-installation. We determined that 4th stage LPT air seals, P/N 51N038, 50N478, and 50N478-001, are not applicable to the engines affected by this AD. Request for Clarification on Effective Date SR Technics asked when this AD will become effective. This AD will be effective 35 days after publication in the Federal Register. Request for Clarification on Part Modification PW stated that the new part can be obtained by modification of the old part as specified in PW SB PW4ENG A72-830, Revision No. 1, dated May 2, 2017. We agree. The new 4th stage LPT air seal, P/N 51N113, can be obtained through modification of the old air seal, P/N 50N346, as noted in PW SB PW4ENG A72-830, Revision No. 1, dated May 2, 2017. Request for Clarification on Honeycomb Replacement DAL and FedEx note that the NPRM states ``Replacement of the air seal also requires replacement of the 4th stage LPT vane cluster honeycomb'' in the ``Discussion'' paragraph. However, paragraph (f) in the NPRM does not address honeycomb replacement. The commenters asked if the FAA intends to require the replacement of the honeycomb. This AD addresses the unsafe condition created by a cracked 4th stage LPT air seal by replacing the air seal with a part that does not crack. Installation of the new air seal without replacement of the 4th stage LPT vane cluster honeycomb results in an increased radial clearance between the honeycomb and air seals. This is not an approved configuration. Requirements for replacement of the honeycomb when an air seal is replaced are defined in the appropriate service information, such as PW CIR Manual P/N 51A357, Chapter/Section 72-53- 24, Repair-02. We did not change this AD. Supportive Comment The Air Line Pilots Association International expressed support for this AD. Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this final rule with the changes described previously and for minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM. We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final rule. Related Service Information We reviewed PW SB PW4ENG A72-830, Revision No. 1, dated May 02, 2017. The SB describes procedures for replacement or modification of the 4th stage LPT air seals. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 991 engines installed on aircraft 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Replacement of air seal............ 0 work-hours x $85 per hour $13,800 $13,800 $13,675,800 = $0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance [[Page 27891]] of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards Branch, Policy and Innovation Division. 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 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.
