[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 69 (Wednesday, April 12, 2017)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 17540-17542] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-07091] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA-2016-6897; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-187-AD; Amendment 39-18853; AD 2017-08-04] RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-03-01, for all Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. AD 2015-03-01 required installing additional attaching hardware on the left and right engine fan cowl access panels and the nacelle attaching structures. This new AD requires weight and balance data to be included in the Weight and Balance Manual for certain modified airplanes. This new AD also requires the weight and balance data to be used in order to calculate the center of gravity for affected airplanes. This AD was prompted by updates to the weight and balance data needed to calculate the center of gravity for affected airplanes. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective May 17, 2017. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 17, 2017. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of March 17, 2015 (80 FR 7298, February 10, 2015).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2015-03-01, Amendment 39-18097 (80 FR 7298, February 10, 2015) (``AD 2015-03-01''). AD 2015-03-01 applied to all Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 8, 2016 (81 FR 36813). The NPRM was prompted by updates to the weight and balance data needed to calculate the center of gravity for affected airplanes. The NPRM proposed to continue to require installing additional attaching hardware on the left and right engine fan cowl access panels and the nacelle attaching structures. The NPRM also proposed to require weight and balance data to be included in the Weight and Balance Manual and applicable logbooks for certain modified airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent damage to the fuselage and flight control surfaces from dislodged engine fan cowl access 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. 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. 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 access 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. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and the FAA's response. [[Page 17541]] Request To Refer to Revised Service Information Air Wisconsin Airlines requested that we revise the NPRM to refer to Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-71-034, Revision D, dated October 7, 2016. Air Wisconsin also asked that we add Bombardier Service Bulletin CF34-NAC-71-042, Revision C, dated September 4, 2016. Air Wisconsin stated that the hardware kits are identified in this service information. We partially agree with the commenter's request. No additional work is required by Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-71-034, Revision D, dated October 7, 2016; it merely adds notes for clarification and contains minor editorial changes. Since Bombardier Service Bulletin CF34-NAC-71-042, Revision C, dated September 4, 2016, is a secondary source of service information, it is not referenced in this AD. We have revised the Related Service Information under 1 CFR part 51 section of the preamble and paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD to refer to Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-71-034, Revision D, dated October 7, 2016. We have also redesignated paragraph (i) of the proposed AD as paragraph (i)(1) of this AD, and added credit for actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD if accomplished prior to the effective date of this AD using Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-71-034, Revision C, dated May 8, 2015. We have also added paragraph (i)(2) to this AD to provide credit for actions required by paragraph (h) of this AD if accomplished prior to the effective date of this AD using Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-71-034, Revision C, dated May 8, 2015. Clarification of Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) Paragraph We have revised paragraph (j)(1)(ii) of this AD to clarify that Global AMOC 15-36, dated August 28, 2015, is approved for the corresponding provisions of paragraph (g) of this AD. Conclusion We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these 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. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service Bulletin 601R-71-034, Revision B, dated August 1, 2014; and Service Bulletin 601R-71-034, Revision D, dated October 7, 2016. The service information provides procedures for modifying the engine fan cowl access panels and the nacelle attaching structures. These documents are distinct because Service Bulletin 601R- 71-034, Revision D, dated October 7, 2016, also includes weight and balance information. 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 497 airplanes of U.S. registry. The actions required by AD 2015-03-01 and retained in this 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 will take 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 $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 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.
