We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-03- 01, for all Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. AD 2015-03-01 currently requires installing additional attaching hardware on the left and right fan cowl access panels and the nacelle attaching structures. Since we issued AD 2015- 03-01, there have been updates to the weight and balance data needed to calculate the center of gravity for affected airplanes. This proposed AD would require weight and balance data to be included in the Weight and Balance Manual and applicable logbooks for airplanes modified per Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-71-034, Revision B, dated August 1, 2014. The proposed AD would also require the weight and balance data to be used in order to calculate the center of gravity for affected airplanes. We are proposing this AD to prevent damage to the fuselage and flight control surfaces from dislodged engine fan cowl panels, and prevent incorrect weight and balance calculations. Incorrect weight and balance calculations may shift the center of gravity beyond approved design parameters and affect in-flight control, which could endanger passengers and crew.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-03-
01, for all Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 
& 440) airplanes. AD 2015-03-01 currently requires installing 
additional attaching hardware on the left and right fan cowl access 
panels and the nacelle attaching structures. Since we issued AD 2015-
03-01, there have been updates to the weight and balance data needed to 
calculate the center of gravity for affected airplanes. This proposed 
AD would require weight and balance data to be included in the Weight 
and Balance Manual and applicable logbooks for airplanes modified per 
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-71-034, Revision B, dated August 1, 
2014. The proposed AD would also require the weight and balance data to 
be used in order to calculate the center of gravity for affected 
airplanes. We are proposing this AD to prevent damage to the fuselage 
and flight control surfaces from dislodged engine fan cowl panels, and 
prevent incorrect weight and balance calculations. Incorrect weight and 
balance calculations may shift the center of gravity beyond approved 
design parameters and affect in-flight control, which could endanger 
passengers and crew.

Discussion

    On January 30, 2015, we issued AD 2015-03-01, Amendment 39-18097 
(80 FR 7298, February 10, 2015) (``AD 2015-03-01''). AD 2015-03-01 
requires installing additional attaching hardware on the left and right 
fan cowl access panels and the nacelle attaching structures. Since we 
issued AD 2015-03-01, we have determined it is necessary to update the 
weight and balance data needed to calculate the center of gravity for 
affected airplanes.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation 
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2014-20R1, dated August 12, 2015 (referred to after this as the 
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to 
correct an unsafe condition for all Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes The MCAI states:

    There have been a number of engine fan cowl panel dislodgement 
incidents reported on the Bombardier CL-600-2B19 aeroplane fleet. 
The dislodged panels may cause damage to the fuselage and flight 
control surfaces of the aeroplane. Also, the debris from a dislodged 
panel may result in runway contamination and has the potential of 
causing injury on the ground.
    Although the majority of the subject panel dislodgements were 
reported on the first or second flight after an engine maintenance 
task was performed that required removal and reinstallation of the 
subject panels, the frequency of the dislodgements indicates that 
the existing attachment design is prone to human (maintenance) 
error.

[[Page 36814]]

    In order to mitigate the potential safety hazard of the subject 
panel dislodgement, Bombardier had issued Service Bulletin (SB) 
601R-71-034 to install additional fasteners for the attachment of 
the engine fan cowl panels to the nacelle's structure. Compliance of 
the above SB was mandated by the original issue of [Canadian] AD CF-
2014-20 dated 9 July 2014 [which corresponded to FAA AD 2015-03-01].
    Bombardier has now revised the SB 601R-71-034 (to Revision C) 
requiring weight and balance data to be included in the Weight and 
Balance manual for aeroplanes modified per the subject SB. This 
revised [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate compliance with SB 601R-
71-034, Rev C.

Required actions also include the retained actions of modifying the 
engine fan cowl panel. 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-2016-6897.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier, Inc. has issued Bombardier Service Bulletin, 601R-71-
034, Revision C, dated May 8, 2015. The service information provides 
procedures for modifying the fan cowl access panels and the nacelle 
attaching structures. The service information also provides updated 
weight and balance data. 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.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed 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 proposing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same 
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 497 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    The actions required by AD 2015-03-01 and retained in this proposed 
AD take about 8 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 
per work-hour. Required parts cost about $5,458 per product. Based on 
these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are required by 
AD 2015-03-01 is $6,138 per product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product 
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average 
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate 
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $42,245, 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 proposed AD would not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed 
regulation:
    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.
