ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive
(AD)for certain Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A., Arrius 2B1, 2B1A, 2B2, and 2K1 turboshaft engines. This AD requires inspecting the power turbine wheel
(PTW)assembly and replacing the PTW if the turbine blade dampers are found missing. This AD was prompted by the manufacturer reporting a number of PTW assemblies may have been assembled without the blade dampers. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD becomes effective April 27, 2018. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 27, 2018. We must receive comments on this AD by May 29, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Green, Aerospace Engineer, ECO Branch, FAA, 1200 District Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803; phone: 781-238-7754; fax: 781-238-7199; email: *robert.green@faa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA AD 2018-0044, dated February 14, 2018 (referred to after this as the MCAI), to address an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: During an ARRIUS 2B2 engine ground run check, the “Degrade” indicator illuminated and unusual vibration occurred. At the same time, bluish smoke and debris came out of the exhaust pipe. Both engines were shut down without further occurrences. Investigations at Safran Helicopter Engines revealed that missing dampers on the PTW assembly caused rupture of PTW blades. Further investigations identified a batch of potentially affected PTW. The dampers on the PTW blades reduce the mechanical stress exerted on the blades. With no dampers, mechanical stress on the blades can exceed the vibratory fatigue limit, eventually leading to rupture of the blades. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to In Flight Shut Down and release of low energy debris through exhaust pipe, potentially resulting in forced landing, damage to the helicopter and injury to occupants. To address this potential unsafe condition, Safran Helicopter Engines issued the SB to provide instructions for inspection and PTW replacement. For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires replacement of potentially affected PTWs with serviceable parts. 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-2018-0184. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 We reviewed Safran Helicopter Engines Alert Mandatory Service Bulletin
(MSB)No. A319 72 2854, Version A, dated February 9, 2018. The MSB describes procedures for replacing the PTW. 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 This product has been approved by France 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 the relevant information provided by EASA and 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 inspecting the PTW assembly and replacing the PTW if the turbine blade dampers are found missing. FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date 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 waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because the compliance time for the action is less than the time required for public comment. EASA made a determination of an unsafe condition warranting regulatory action and compliance within 20 flight hours or 30 days. Therefore, we find good cause that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reason stated above, we find that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days. Comments Invited This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public comment. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number FAA-2018-0184 and Product Identifier 2018-NE-07-AD at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this final rule. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this final rule 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 we receive about this final rule. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 46 engines installed on helicopters of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD: Estimated Costs Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators Records Search 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 $0 $85 $3,910 We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements that would be required based on the results of the mandated inspection. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these replacements: On-Condition Costs Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product PTW replacement 16 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,360 $16,500 $17,860 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 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 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 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, 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.
