SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc., 
Model DHC-8-401 and DHC-8-402 airplanes. The NPRM published in the 
Federal Register on March 2, 2017 (82 FR 12301). The NPRM was prompted 
by a report that a pilot was unable to move the rudder pedal due to an 
obstruction. The NPRM proposed to require an inspection to determine if 
wiring shrouds are present, and modifying the wiring shrouds if 
necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent an obstruction that could 
prevent rudder pedal movement during critical phases of flight or 
ground operations, potentially resulting in loss of control of the 
airplane.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation 
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2016-27, dated 
September 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 DHC-8-401 and DHC-8-402 
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    An operator reported that the flying pilot was unable to move 
the rudder pedal due to an obstruction caused by the non-flying 
pilot's foot. The shoe belonging to the non-flying pilot was placed 
between the rudder pedal and the newly installed wiring shroud and 
prevented rudder pedal movement. The wiring shroud was installed to 
support the wire harnesses installed below the cockpit instrument 
panel.
    If not corrected, this condition could prevent rudder movement 
during critical phases of flight or ground operation, and result in 
loss of control of the aeroplane.
    This [Canadian] AD was issued to re-work the wiring shrouds to 
eliminate potential for obstruction.

    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-
0125.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and 
the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the NPRM

    The Air Line Pilots Association, International, stated that it 
supports the NPRM.

Request To Refer to Updated Service Information and Provide Credit

    Horizon Air requested that we revise the proposed AD to refer to 
the newest version of the service information, Bombardier Service 
Bulletin 84-25-169, Revision B, dated February 17, 2017. Horizon Air 
also asked that we provide credit for previous actions done using 
Bombardier Service Bulletin 84-25-169, Revision A, dated April 25, 
2016.
    We agree with the commenter's requests. We have determined that the 
new service information does not require any additional actions for 
airplanes modified using Revision A. We have revised this AD to refer 
to Bombardier Service Bulletin 84-25-169, Revision B, dated February 
17, 2017. We have also added paragraph (h) to this AD to provide credit 
for previous actions and redesignated subsequent paragraphs 
accordingly.

[[Page 31251]]

Request To Reference Only the Actions Required for Compliance

    Horizon Air requested that we revise the requirements of the 
proposed AD to mandate only the actions in paragraph 3.B., 
``Procedure'' of the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service 
Bulletin 84-25-169, Revision B, dated February 17, 2017, rather than 
the entire Accomplishment Instructions. Horizon Air explained that 
requiring the job set-up and close-out sections of the service 
information restricts an operator's ability to perform other 
maintenance at the same time as incorporating the service information.
    We agree with the commenter's request because it provides operators 
additional flexibility, while still ensuring the unsafe condition is 
corrected. We have revised paragraph (g) of this AD accordingly.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments 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 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 Bombardier Service Bulletin 84-25-169, Revision B, 
dated February 17, 2017. This service information describes procedures 
for an inspection to verify if wiring shrouds are installed, and 
modification of any existing wiring shrouds. 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 82 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

                                      = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary modifications 
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have 
no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these 
modifications:

                                               On-Condition Costs

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.
