SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF- 2016-35, dated November 16, 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- 2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. The MCAI states: It is possible for the shrouds of the High Pressure (HP) bleed air ducts located in the main wheel wells and overwing areas to deteriorate and consequently, their maximum permitted leakage rate could be exceeded. If a significant bleed air leak is not sensed by the detection system, hot air impingement may cause damage to the adjacent structure and system components or create a fire hazard. This [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate a modification of the bleed-air duct and detection system, as well as a revision of the Airworthiness Limitation tasks to correspond with this modification. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017- 0699. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 Bombardier, Inc. has issued Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-36- 022, Revision B, dated December 20, 2016. The service information describes modifying the bleed-air duct and detection system. Bombardier, Inc. has issued the following service information. Bombardier CRJ Series Regional Jet Airworthiness Limitations Temporary Revision ALI-0553, dated August 19, 2016, which describes an airworthiness limitation task for a detailed inspection of the protection jackets (shields) and insulating blankets located on top of the center wing and fuel tank and fuel vent lines for condition and security. Bombardier CRJ Series Regional Jet Airworthiness Limitations Temporary Revision ALI-0554, dated August 19, 2016, which describes an airworthiness limitation task for a functional check of the bleed air duct shrouds. Bombardier CRJ Series Regional Jet Airworthiness Limitations Temporary Revision ALI-0555, dated August 19, 2016, which describes an airworthiness limitation task for a detailed inspection of the bleed air duct coupling covers and detection manifolds. Bombardier CRJ Series Regional Jet Airworthiness Limitations Temporary Revision ALI-0556, dated August 19, 2016, which describes an airworthiness limitation task for a detailed inspection of the overwing shield and the protection jackets for condition and security. Bombardier CRJ Series Regional Jet Airworthiness Limitations Temporary Revision ALI-0557, dated August 19, 2016, which describes an airworthiness limitation task for a detailed inspection of the vent boot protection jackets for condition and security. 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. FAA's Determination and Requirements of This 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 issuing this AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined the 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 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 (k)(1) of this AD. The request should include a description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure the continued operational safety of the airplane. FAA's Determination of the Effective Date Since there are currently no domestic operators of this product, notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are unnecessary. Comments Invited This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2017-0699; Directorate Identifier 2017-NM-004-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD based on those comments. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 0 airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about 91 work-hours per product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts cost are not available. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $0, or $7,735 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 [[Page 39343]] 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 0 1.
