Learn More🚁FAA Withdraws Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Safran Engines
The FAA is withdrawing an NPRM that proposed to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would have applied to all Safran Helicopter Engines, S.A. (Safran) Model ARRIUS 2F and ARRIUS 2R engines. The NPRM was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed certain high-pressure (HP) turbine blades may contain non- compliant porosity rates due to a change in the manufacturing process. The NPRM would have required replacement of affected HP turbine blades. Since the NPRM was issued, further investigation and tests demonstrated that the non-compliant rate of porosity has no impact on the use limit of the affected parts and the FAA has determined that the unsafe condition no longer exists. Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn.

EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and are also subject to an Order issued by EPA pursuant to TSCA. The SNURs require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use in the SNUR. The required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the conditions of that use for that chemical substance. In addition, the manufacture or processing for the significant new use may not commence until EPA has conducted a review of the required notification; made an appropriate determination regarding that notification; and taken such actions as required by that determination.
