Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received comments from two commenters. The commenters were the Air Line Pilots Association, International ALPA and an anonymous commenter. ALPA supported the NPRM
without change. The anonymous commenter supported the NPRM but stated their opinion on the estimated costs.
Request for Rolls-Royce To Share Replacement Part Cost An anonymous commenter indicated that Rolls-Royce could share the cost of new HPT disks since it was their manufacturing process that caused the defects in the HPT disks.
The FAA does not determine who pays for the costs of an AD. The Estimated Costs paragraph indicates that, according to the manufacturer, all of the costs of this AD may be covered under a manufacturer warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators.
Conclusion The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed.
Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM.

CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin NMSB SBBR70072A900659, Revision 1, dated November 5, 2019 the NMSB. The Alert NMSB provides the part numbers and serial numbers for affected HPT disks, the serial numbers for all engines with an affected HPT
disk installed, and instructions for replacement of the affected HPT disk.
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 ADDRESSES.
Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD
affects 21 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

Labor cost

20 work-hours $85 per hour = $1,700
The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate. According to the manufacturer, however, all 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 develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.
