We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL- 601 Variant), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A and CL-601-3R Variants) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of laminated shims that may have been improperly installed at a certain wing tie beam. This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate certification maintenance requirement tasks that introduce revised checks of the tie beam. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for 
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-
601 Variant), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A and CL-601-3R Variants)

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation 
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2016-34, dated October 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), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601 Variant), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A 
and CL-601-3R Variants) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Bombardier has determined that laminated shims may have been 
improperly installed at the floor/wing tie beam bumper pads. 
Improperly installed shims may become damaged, which could result in 
a gapping condition. This would lead to increased stress and 
degradation of structural integrity of the tie beam. Undetected 
failure may lead to premature cracking of the pressure floor.
    Bombardier has introduced revised maintenance tasks through 
revisions of the applicable CL-600 Time Limits Maintenance Checks 
(TLMCs) to confirm structural integrity of the affected tie beam.
    This [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate the incorporation of the 
applicable revised TLMC tasks.

    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-
0691.
    This proposed AD will require 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 according to paragraph 
(i)(1) of this proposed AD. The request should include a description of 
changes to the required actions that will ensure the continued 
operational safety of the airplane.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following Bombardier, Inc., service information.
     Task 53-10-00-131 of Section 5-10-30, ``Airworthiness 
Limitation Checks by ATA Chapter Number,'' of Bombardier Challenger 600 
Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, Publication Number PSP 605, Revision 
37, dated April 29, 2016.
     Task 53-10-00-133 of Section 5-10-30, ``Airworthiness 
Limitation Checks by ATA Chapter Number,'' of Bombardier Challenger 601 
Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, Publication Number PSP 601-5, Revision 
44, dated April 29, 2016.
     Task 53-10-00-134 of Section 5-10-30, ``Airworthiness 
Limitation Checks by ATA Chapter Number,'' of Bombardier Challenger 601 
Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, Publication Number PSP 601A-5, Revision 
40, dated April 29, 2016.
    The service information identifies airworthiness limitation tasks 
for checks of the pressure floor at a certain wing tie beam. These 
documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane models. 
This service information is reasonably available because the

[[Page 32653]]

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 137 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated 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 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.

applicable service information in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(3) 
of this AD. The initial compliance time for the task is within the 
applicable time specified in the service information, or within 30 
days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.

601 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, Publication Number PSP 601A-5, 
Revision 40, dated April 29, 2016.

(h) No Alternative Actions and Intervals

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