We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as insufficient clearance between the pitot tubes and the primary support at the flame arrester intersection. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes. This AD results from mandatory 
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation 
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe 
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 
condition as insufficient clearance between the pitot tubes and the 
primary support at the flame arrester intersection. We are issuing this 
AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these 
products.

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 Pacific Aerospace Limited 
Model 750XL airplanes. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register 
on May 11, 2018 (83 FR 21962). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe 
condition for the specified products and was based on mandatory 
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by the Civil 
Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAA). The MCAI states:

    Pacific Aerospace SB PACSB/XL/094 issue 2, dated 20 March 2018 
revised to include inspection information, and DCA/750XL/24A updated 
to introduce the revised SB.
    The [CAA] AD is prompted by a production inspection of installed 
pitot static plumbing which identified insufficient clearance 
between the pitot tubes and the primary support at the flame 
arrestor intersection.

    This AD requires inspecting the pitot static tubes for chafing 
damage, replacing tubing as necessary, installing an additional clamp 
for pitot static tube support, protecting plumbing with spiralwrap, and 
ensuring proper clearance between the pitot tubes and the primary 
support at the flame arrester intersection. The MCAI can be found in 
the AD docket on the internet at: https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=FAA-2018-0371-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of 
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and 
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for 
minor editorial changes and changes to clarify the reference to the 
service information. 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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Pacific Aerospace Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/094, Issue 
2, dated March 20, 2018. The service information contains procedures 
for inspecting the pitot static tubing for chafing, replacing tubing as 
necessary, installing an additional clamp for pitot static tube 
support, protecting plumbing with spiralwrap, and ensuring proper 
clearance between the pitot tubes and the primary support at the flame 
arrester intersection. 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 will affect 22 products of U.S. registry. 
We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to 
comply with the pitot static tubing inspection and installation of 
support clamps and spiral wrap required by this AD. The average labor 
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $25 per 
product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the AD on U.S. 
operators to be $2,420, or $110 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions to 
replace damaged tubing would take about 1 work-hour and require parts 
costing $25, for a cost of $110 per product. We have no way of 
determining the number of products that may need these actions.

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the 
Executive

[[Page 62702]]

Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by FAA Order 
8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is normally a 
function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but during this 
transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the authority 
to issue ADs applicable to small airplanes, gliders, balloons, 
airships, domestic business jet transport airplanes, and associated 
appliances to the Director of the Policy and Innovation Division.

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 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.

    Unless already done, do the following actions in paragraphs 
(f)(1) through (3) of this AD.
    (1) Within 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after January 10, 
2019 (the effective date of this AD) or within 60 days after January 
10, 2019 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, 
inspect the pitot static tubing adjacent to the flame arrestor for 
chafing damage.
    (2) If any chafing damage is found during the inspection 
required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, 
repair or replace any damaged tubing and conduct a pitot and static 
leak check.
    (3) Within 100 hours TIS after January 10, 2019 (the effective 
date of this AD) or within 60 days after January 10, 2019 (the 
effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, install an 
additional support clamp, protect plumbing with spiralwrap, and 
ensure proper clearance between the pitot tubes and the primary 
support at the flame arrester intersection. Follow paragraphs (3) 
through (6) of the Accomplishment Instructions in Pacific Aerospace 
Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/094, Issue 2, dated March 20, 2018.

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
