ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent XWB-75, XWB-79, XWB-79B, and XWB-84 engines.

This proposed AD would require modification of the engine with an improved front bearing housing oil feed tube assembly.
