We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-02-04 for certain Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes. AD 2015- 02-04 required installing two protective plates between the electrical wiring under the glare shield and the engine fire pull handles. This new AD continues to require installing two protective plates between the electrical wiring under the glare shield and the engine fire pull handles. This AD was prompted by our determination that the published version of AD 2015-02-04 incorrectly identified the AD number as ``AD 2014-02-04'' in a certain paragraph. We are issuing this AD to prevent chafing of the electrical wiring, which could result in a short circuit and generation of smoke in the cockpit, potential loss of several functions essential for safe flight, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-02-04 for 
certain Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes. AD 2015-
02-04 required installing two protective plates between the electrical 
wiring under the glare shield and the engine fire pull handles. This 
new AD continues to require installing two protective plates between 
the electrical wiring under the glare shield and the engine fire pull 
handles. This AD was prompted by our determination that the published 
version of AD 2015-02-04 incorrectly identified the AD number as ``AD 
2014-02-04'' in a certain paragraph. We are issuing this AD to prevent 
chafing of the electrical wiring, which could result in a short circuit 
and generation of smoke in the cockpit, potential loss of several 
functions essential for safe flight, and consequent reduced 
controllability of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 29, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of March 6, 
2015 (80 FR 5034, January 30, 2015).
    We must receive comments on this AD by May 29, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On January 12, 2015, we issued AD 2015-02-04, Amendment 39-18071 
(80

[[Page 19877]]

FR 5034, January 30, 2015). AD 2015-02-04 applied to certain Dassault 
Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes. AD 2015-02-04 was prompted 
by a report of an untimely and intermittent indication of slat activity 
due to chafing of the electrical wiring under the glare shield and 
behind the flight deck front panel. AD 2015-02-04 required installing 
two protective plates between the electrical wiring under the glare 
shield and the engine fire pull handles. We issued AD 2015-02-04 to 
prevent chafing of the electrical wiring, which could result in a short 
circuit and generation of smoke in the cockpit, potential loss of 
several functions essential for safe flight, and consequent reduced 
controllability of the airplane.
    AD 2015-02-04, Amendment 39-18071 (80 FR 5034, January 30, 2015), 
corresponds to Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information (MCAI) 
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Airworthiness Directive 2014-
0024, dated January 23, 2014. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet 
at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. 
FAA-2015-0825.
    Since we issued AD 2015-02-04, Amendment 39-18071 (80 FR 5034, 
January 30, 2015), we have determined that the published version of AD 
2015-02-04 incorrectly identified the AD number in the Product 
Identification line as ``AD 2014-02-04.'' In order to refer to the 
correct AD number, this AD replaces ``AD 2014-02-04'' with ``AD 2015-
02-04'' in the Product Identification line in the regulatory text.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have 
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service 
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same 
type design.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of 
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies 
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because of 
the urgency to correct the AD number in the regulatory text to avoid 
non-compliance. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity 
for prior public comment are unnecessary.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight 
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public 
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or 
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under 
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2015-0825; Directorate 
Identifier 2015-NM-035-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We 
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, 
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all 
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of 
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We 
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we 
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 250 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions required by AD 2015-02-04, Amendment 39-18071 (80 FR 
5034, January 30, 2015), and retained in this AD are as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                    Cost per       Cost on U.S.

 5034, January 30, 2015).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This AD adds no additional economic burden.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's 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 Agency's 
authority.
    We are 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.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications 
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct 
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national 
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies 
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.
