We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this proposed AD. Discussion We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2014-16- 02, Amendment 39-17926 (79 FR 46968, August 12, 2014) (``AD 2014-16- 02''). AD 2014-16-02 applies to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600- 1A11 (CL-600) airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on December 24, 2015 (80 FR 80293) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that it is necessary to add a requirement to repair or modify the thrust reversers, which would terminate the requirements of AD 2014-16-02. The NPRM proposed to continue to require the actions specified in AD 2014-16-02. The NPRM also proposed to require repair or modification of the thrust reversers. This action revises the NPRM by reducing the compliance time to modify the thrust reversers, and adding new modification procedures. Actions Since Previous NPRM Was Issued Since we issued the NPRM, Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2014-19R1, dated March 14, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600) airplanes. The MCAI states: There have been two reported incidents of partial deployment of an engine thrust reverser in-flight, caused by a failure of the translating sleeve at the thrust reverser actuator attachment points. Inspection of the same area on some other thrust reversers revealed cracks emanating from the holes under the nut plates. In both incidents, the affected aeroplane landed safely without any noticeable controllability issues, however structural failure of thrust reverser actuator attachment points resulting in thrust reverser deployment or dislodgment in flight is a safety hazard warranting an immediate mitigating action. To help in mitigating any immediate safety hazard, Bombardier Inc. has revised the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) through Temporary Revisions (TR) 600/29, 600/30, 600-1/24 and 600-1/26, to prohibit the thrust reverser operation on affected aeroplanes. Additionally, as an interim corrective action, Bombardier Inc. has issued alert service bulletin (ASB) A600-0769 requiring an inspection and/or a mechanical lock out of the thrust reverser to prevent it from moving out of forward thrust mode. Original [TCCA] Emergency AD CF-2014-19 was issued 20 June 2014 to mandate the incorporation of above mentioned revised AFM procedures and compliance with ASB A600-0769. This [TCCA] AD is now being revised to include the terminating action in accordance with Part C of the ASB A600-0769 Rev 02 dated 22 February 2016. We reduced the compliance time for modification of the thrust reversers specified in paragraph (k) of this SNPRM to match the compliance time specified in the MCAI. We also added new procedures in paragraph (k) of this SNPRM for modifying the thrust reversers. 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-2015- 7529. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 We reviewed Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A600-0769, Revision 02, dated February 22, 2016. The service information describes procedures for modifying the thrust reversers on both engines. The modification includes inspections for cracks and elongated holes. We also reviewed the following TRs, which introduce procedures to prohibit thrust reverser operation. These documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane configurations. Canadair TR 600/29-2, dated January 18, 2016, to the Canadair CL-600-1A11 AFM. Canadair TR 600-1/24-2, dated January 18, 2016, to the Canadair CL-600-1A11 AFM (Winglets). 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. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this proposed AD. We considered the comments received. Request To Cite Most Recent Service Information Bombardier, Inc. requested that we revise the proposed AD (in the NPRM) to cite the most recent AFMs. Bombardier, Inc. explained that the AFM TRs mentioned in paragraph (g) of the proposed AD (in the NPRM) have been revised to include AFM TRs 600/30-2, 600-1/26-2, 600/29-2, and 600-1/24-2, all dated January 18, 2016. We agree to refer to the revised AFM TRs that apply to U.S.- registered airplanes in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this proposed AD. Those TRs are Canadair TR 600/29-2, dated January 18, 2016, to the Canadair CL-600-1A11 AFM; and Canadair TR 600-1/24-2, dated January 18, 2016, to the Canadair CL-600-1A11 AFM (Winglets). Bombardier, Inc. also requested that we refer to Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A600-0769, Revision 02, dated February 22, 2016, as described previously. We agree with the commenter's request. We revised the introductory text of paragraph (h) and paragraphs (h)(2), (i), and (k) of this proposed AD to refer to Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A600-0769, Revision 02, dated February 22, 2016. We also clarified the [[Page 89883]] actions specified in paragraphs (h)(2) and (i) of this proposed AD by referring to Part B of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A600-0769, Revision 02, dated February 22, 2016, for the modification specified in those paragraphs. In addition, paragraph (k) of the proposed AD (in the NPRM) specified doing a repair or modification using a method approved by the Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), ANE-170, FAA; or Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA); or Bombardier, Inc.'s TCCA Design Approval Organization (DAO). Because Part C of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A600-0769, Revision 02, dated February 22, 2016, is the appropriate source of service information for doing the terminating action (i.e., modifying the thrust reversers), we have revised paragraph (k) of this proposed AD to refer to that service information. However, under the provisions of paragraph (n)(1) of this proposed AD, we will consider requests for approval of other repairs or modifications if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the repair or modification would provide an acceptable level of safety. Request To Specify Terminating Action Bombardier, Inc. requested that we revise paragraph (k) of the proposed AD (in the NPRM) to specify that doing the actions specified in that paragraph terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) of the proposed AD. We agree with the commenter's request. The MCAI states that accomplishing the modification in Part C of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A600-0769, Revision 02, dated February 22, 2016, terminates the inspections and interim modification. However, we have determined that accomplishing the actions in Part C of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A600-0769, Revision 02, dated February 22, 2016, also terminates the requirement for the AFM revisions specified in paragraph (g) of this proposed AD. The TRs specified in paragraph (g) of this proposed AD only apply to airplanes on which the actions specified in Part C of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A600-0769, Revision 02, dated February 22, 2016, have not been done. We have revised paragraph (k) of this proposed AD accordingly. Request To Revise Phone Number and Email Bombardier, Inc. requested that we revise the NPRM to include revised contact information for the widebody customer response center. We agree and have revised the ADDRESSES section of this SNPRM and paragraph (o)(2) of this proposed AD accordingly. FAA's Determination and Requirements of This SNPRM 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 these same type designs. Certain changes described above expand the scope of the NPRM. As a result, we have determined that it is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide additional opportunity for the public to comment on this SNPRM. Differences Between This SNPRM and the MCAI or Service Information Part C of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A600-0769, Revision 02, dated February 22, 2016, specifies to do certain inspections for cracks and elongated holes, but does not specify corrective actions for airplanes on which any crack or elongated hole is found. Paragraph (l) of this proposed AD would require that for any cracking or elongated hole, a repair be done using a method approved by the Manager, New York ACO, ANE-170, FAA; or TCCA; or Bombardier, Inc.'s TCCA DAO. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 18 airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD: Estimated Costs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost per Cost on U.S. Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFM revision; inspection [retained 29 work-hours x $85 per N/A $2,465 $44,370 actions from AD 2014-16-02]. hour = $2,465. New modification...................... 100 work-hours x $85 per $509 9,009 162,162 hour = $8,500. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We estimate the following costs to do any necessary modifications that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection. We have no way of determining the number of airplanes that might need this modification: On-Condition Costs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost per Action Labor cost Parts cost product ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Modification.......................... 36 work-hours x $85 per hour = $3,060... $509 $3,569 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide cost estimates for the on-condition actions for the inspections that are part of the new modification specified in this proposed AD. 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 [[Page 89884]] 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 0 1.
