We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2A12 (CL-601 Variant) and CL- 600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that the bushing holes on the engine mount rib might not conform to the engineering drawings and that certain inspections of the engine mount rib must be included in the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA). This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate certain airworthiness limitation items (ALIs). We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation 
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2015-09R1, dated June 29, 2015 (referred to after this as the Mandatory 
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an 
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2A12 (CL-
601 Variant), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 
Variants) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The aeroplane manufacturer has determined that the bushing holes 
on the engine mount rib may not conform to the engineering drawings. 
Non-conforming bushing holes could increase loading on adjacent 
fasteners, resulting in premature fatigue cracking of the engine 
mount rib.
    In addition, it was also discovered that the inspection 
requirements for the engine mount rib were not listed in the 
Airworthiness Limitations Section of the Instructions for Continued 
Airworthiness.
    Failure of the engine mount rib could compromise the structural 
integrity of the engine mount and could lead to subsequent 
detachment of an engine.
    A new Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC) Airworthiness 
Limitations (AWL) task is introduced to ensure that any fatigue 
cracking of the engine mount rib is detected and corrected.
    The original issue of this [Canadian] AD mandated the 
incorporation of a new TLMC AWL task [into the maintenance or 
inspection program, as applicable].
    Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD is issued to remove model CL-
600-1A11 (600) aeroplanes from the Applicability section of the 
[Canadian] AD since this model was incorrectly included in the 
original issue.

    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-2017-
0338.

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.
    This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance 
documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance with 
these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have 
been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed 
by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able to accomplish the 
actions described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 
14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative 
method of compliance under the provisions of paragraph (i)(1) of this 
proposed AD. The request should include a description of changes to the 
required actions that will ensure the continued damage tolerance of the 
affected structure.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 129 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with 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 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

[[Page 27221]]

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:

    Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD:  Applicable information on 
tasks required by paragraph (g) of this AD can be found in Chapter 5 
of Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC) Manual PSP 601-5 (for Model 
CL-600-2A12 (CL-601 Variant) airplanes), TLMC Manual PSP 601A-5 (for 
CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A and CL-601-3R Variants) airplanes), TLMC 
Manual CL-604 (for Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-604 Variant) airplanes, S/
Ns 5301 through 5665 inclusive), and TLMC Manual CL-605 (for Model 
CL-600-2B16 (CL-604 Variant) airplanes, S/Ns 5701 and subsequent).

(h) No Alternative Actions and/or Intervals

    After the maintenance or inspection program has been revised as 
required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., 
inspections) and/or intervals may be used, unless the actions and/or 
intervals are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) 
in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (i)(1) of 
this AD.

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, New 
York ACO, ANE-170, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this 
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In
