Start Preamble
AGENCY:
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION:
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
SUMMARY:
We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The existing AD currently requires revising certain sections of a certain airplane flight manual, deactivating certain hydraulic accumulators, removing certain hydraulic accumulators, ultrasonic inspections for cracks on accumulators and screw caps and replacement if necessary, and replacing certain accumulators. Since we issued that AD, we have determined that, for certain airplanes, reducing the compliance time for a certain replacement is necessary to ensure that the identified unsafe condition is addressed. This proposed AD would continue to require the existing actions from the existing AD. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct hydraulic accumulator screw cap/end cap failure, which could result in the loss of the associated hydraulic Start Printed Page 23421system and high-energy impact damage to adjacent systems and structure, and consequent loss of control of the airplane.
DATES:
We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 4, 2012.

Discussion
On October 20, 2011, we issued AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011). That AD required actions intended to address an unsafe condition on certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes.
Since we issued AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011), we have determined that the compliance time specified in paragraph (n) of this proposed AD (referred to as paragraph (q) in AD 2011-23-08) must be clarified. We are including the phrase, “whichever occurs first,” in paragraph (n)(1) of this AD, which requires operators to perform the action at the earlier of the times. We have determined that the proposed reduced compliance time is necessary to address the identified unsafe condition in a timely manner. This compliance time also matches the compliance time given in Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2010-24, dated August 3, 2010.
We have also determined that certain phrases need to be added and certain phrases need to be removed from certain credit paragraphs of this AD. We have revised paragraphs (o)(4) and (o)(5) of this proposed AD to specify “before December 22, 2011 (the effective date of AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011)),” instead of “before November 4, 2010.” We have revised paragraph (o)(2) of this AD by removing “hydraulic system No. 1” because the service information in paragraph (o)(2) does not specify to remove the hydraulic system No. 1 accumulator. We have also revised paragraph (o)(2) of this proposed AD by removing Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-32-107, Revision A, dated June 17, 2010, because credit for that service bulletin is already given in paragraph (m) of this proposed AD. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.
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.
Changes to Existing AD
This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011). Since AD 2011-23-08 was issued, the AD format has been revised, and certain paragraphs have been rearranged. As a result, the corresponding paragraph identifiers have changed in this proposed AD, as listed in the following table:
Revised Paragraph Identifiers
Requirement in AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011) Corresponding requirement in this proposed AD paragraph (l) paragraph (p)(1) paragraph (m) paragraph (p)(2) paragraph (n) paragraph (p)(3) paragraph (o) paragraph (l) paragraph (p) paragraph (m) paragraph (q) paragraph (n) paragraph (r) paragraph (o)(4) paragraph (s) paragraph (o)(5) We have also revised paragraph (j) (paragraph (j) of AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011)) of this proposed AD to refer to paragraph (k) of this AD instead of paragraph (l)(1) (paragraph (l) of AD 2011-23-08) for the applicable compliance times.
Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information
The actions specified in Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2010-24, dated August 3, 2010, apply only to Tactair accumulators. The actions required by paragraphs (h), (i), and (m) of this proposed AD apply to all accumulators in the positions specified in paragraphs (h), (i), and (l) of this proposed AD.
While Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2010-24, dated August 3, 2010, does not require replacement of the reducer of the hydraulic system No. Start Printed Page 234221 with a new reducer, paragraph (n) of this proposed AD does.
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 605 products of U.S. registry.
The actions that are required by AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011), and retained in this proposed AD take about 33 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work hour. Required parts cost about $3,054 per product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently required actions is $5,859 per product.
The new requirements of this proposed AD add no additional economic burden.
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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.
