ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
EMBRAER Model EMB–120, –120ER,
–120FC, –120QC, and –120RT airplanes.
This AD requires installing a rivet and
washer in the hole of the upper frame
of the auxiliary power unit (APU)
firewall. This AD results from a report
indicating that, during production, a
pinhole was left open at the upper frame
of the APU firewall. We are issuing this
AD to ensure that the APU compartment
is isolated from the rest of the airplane
in the event of an APU fire.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
February 24, 2006.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in the AD
as of February 24, 2006.

Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to certain EMBRAER Model
EMB–120, –120ER, –120FC, –120QC,
and –120RT airplanes. That NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on
November 9, 2005 (70 FR 67948). That
NPRM proposed to require installing a
rivet and washer in the hole of the
upper frame of the auxiliary power unit
(APU) firewall.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We received no
comments on the NPRM or on the
determination of the cost to the public.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data and determined that air
safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD as proposed.
Costs of Compliance

estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 13 / Friday, January 20, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
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.
Effective Date
Regulatory Findings
We have 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
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
(3) 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.
See the ADDRESSES section for a location
to examine the regulatory evaluation.
Unsafe Condition
(a) This AD becomes effective February 24,
2006.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to EMBRAER Model
EMB–120, –120ER, –120FC, –120QC, and
–120RT airplanes, certificated in any
category; as identified in EMBRAER Service
Bulletin 120–53–0080, dated November 30,
2004.
(d) This AD results from a report indicating
that, during production, a pinhole was left
open at the upper frame of the auxiliary
power unit (APU) firewall. We are issuing
this AD to ensure that the APU compartment
is isolated from the rest of the airplane in the
event of an APU fire.
RIN 2120–AA64
Rivet Installation
(f) Within 4,000 flight hours or 24 months,
whichever occurs first after the effective date
of this AD: Install a rivet and washer in the
hole of the upper frame of the APU firewall,
in accordance with EMBRAER Service
Bulletin 120–53–0080, dated November 30,
2004.

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier Model CL–600–2B19
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440)
airplanes. This AD requires replacing
the Camloc fasteners on the sidewall of
the center pedestal. This AD results
from reports of the Camloc fasteners on
the sidewall of the center pedestal
disengaging and interfering with an
inboard rudder pedal. We are issuing
this AD to prevent these fasteners from
disengaging and interfering with an
inboard rudder pedal, which could
reduce directional controllability of the
airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
February 24, 2006.
The Director of the Federal Register

of a certain publication listed in the AD
as of February 24, 2006.

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 have 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:

Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
(3) 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
