Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Fokker Services B.V. 
Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The NPRM published in the 
Federal Register on February 18, 2016 (81 FR 8166) (``the NPRM''). The 
NPRM was prompted by the need for more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations. The NPRM proposed to require revising the maintenance or 
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate certain maintenance 
requirement tasks, thresholds, and intervals. We are issuing this AD to 
reduce the potential for significant failure conditions and consequent 
loss of controllability of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0027, dated February 20, 2015 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Fokker Services 
B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Fokker Services published issue 11 of Engineering Report SE-473, 
containing Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMRs). This 
report is Part 1 of the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS Part 
1) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, referred to in 
Section 06, Appendix 1, of the Fokker 70/100 Maintenance Review 
Board (MRB) document.
    The complete ALS currently consists of:
    Part 1--Report SE-473 (CMRs), Part 2--Report SE-623, 
Airworthiness Limitation Items (ALIs) and Safe Life Items (SLIs), 
and Part 3--Report SE-672, Fuel ALIs and Critical Design 
Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs).
    The instructions contained in those reports have been identified 
as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires 
implementation of the maintenance actions as specified in ALS Part 1 
of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, Fokker Services 
Engineering Report SE-473 at issue 11.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
0464.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of 
the cost to the public.

Changes to Paragraph Reference

    We have updated paragraph (h) of this AD. In paragraph (h) of the 
NPRM, we inadvertently referenced paragraph (g)(2) of the NPRM. 
Paragraph (h) of this AD has been updated to reference paragraph (g)(1) 
of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and 
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD with the change described previously and minor editorial 
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the 
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed ``Fokker 70/100 Certification Maintenance 
Requirements,'' of Fokker Services B.V. Engineering Report, 
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS), SE-473, Issue 11, released 
January 19, 2015. This service information describes certification 
maintenance requirements. 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 the 
ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 8 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to 
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate 
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of 
this AD on U.S. operators to be $680, or $85 per product.

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.
