found, whereas this AD requires removing the part from service. EASA
AD 20190025 requires accomplishing the actions specified in the ALS, whereas this AD requires establishing a life limit for certain part-numbered cooling fan front flanges and certain part-numbered engine pulley ball bearings and removing any part from service accordingly instead. EASA AD
20190025 requires revising the AMP
with the actions specified in the ALS, whereas this AD does not.
Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD
affects 32 helicopters of U.S. Registry.
Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD.
Replacing a cooling fan front flange takes about 16 work-hours and parts cost about $4,500 for an estimated cost of $5,860 per helicopter and $187,520
for the U.S. fleet, per replacement cycle.
Replacing an engine pulley ball bearing takes about 12 work-hours and parts cost about $250 for an estimated cost of $1,270 per helicopter and $40,640 for the U.S. fleet, per replacement cycle.
The FAA has no way of determining the estimated costs to do allowable repairs based on the results of the CMR
tasks. If required, replacing a cracked cooling fan front flange takes about 16
work-hours and parts cost about $4,500
for an estimated cost of $5,860.
The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate. According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators.

Authority for This Rulemaking Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAAs 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 Agencys authority.
The FAA is 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

For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this AD:
1 Is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, 2 Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and 3 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.
