Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Turbofan Engines
AGENCY:
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION:
Proposed rule; withdrawal.
SUMMARY:
The FAA is withdrawing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). The NPRM proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) that had applied to all Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Tay 650-15 and Tay 651-54 turbofan engines. The proposed action would have required reducing the cyclic life limits for certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) disks. Accordingly, we withdraw the proposed rule.
DATES:
The proposed rule published in the Federal Register on June 8, 2015 (80 FR 32315, June 8, 2015) is withdrawn as of November 30, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[top] The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with
Since we issued the NPRM (80 FR 32315, June 8, 2015), additional information became available after the public comment period closed on August 7, 2015.
Upon further consideration, we hereby withdraw the proposed rule because we will propose to supersede AD 2006-18-14 (71 FR 52988, September 8, 2006).
Withdrawal of the NPRM (80 FR 32315, June 8, 2015) constitutes only such action, and does not preclude the agency from issuing another notice in the future, nor does it commit the agency to any course of action in the future.
Since this action only withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking, it is neither a proposed nor a final rule. Therefore, Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979) do not cover this withdrawal.
