Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional 
Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

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 Gask-O-Seal in the coupling 
of the refuel/defuel shut-off valves. This AD results from a report 
that Gask-O-Seals that did not incorporate an integral restrictor to 
limit fuel flow rate and fuel pressure during refueling were installed 
on certain airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent a buildup of 
excessive static charge, which could create an ignition source inside 
the fuel tank.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 1, 2006.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of March 1, 
2006.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://
dms.dot.gov or in person at the Docket Management Facility, U.S. 
Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street SW., Nassif Building, 
room PL-401, Washington, DC.
    Contact Bombardier, Inc., Canadair, Aerospace Group, P.O. Box 6087, 
Station Centre-ville, Montreal, Quebec H3C 3G9, Canada, for service 
information identified in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Examining the Docket

    You may examine the airworthiness directive (AD) docket on the 
Internet at https://dms.dot.gov or in person at the Docket Management 
Facility office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 
except Federal holidays. The Docket Management Facility office 
(telephone (800) 647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Nassif 
Building at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section.

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 Bombardier 
Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. That NPRM 
was published in the Federal Register on October 27, 2005 (70 FR 
61920). That NPRM proposed to require replacing the Gask-O-Seal in the 
coupling of the refuel/defuel shut-off valves.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the 
development of this AD. We have considered the single comment received.

Request To Reference Latest Issue of Service Bulletin

    One commenter requests that the NPRM reference Bombardier Alert 
Service Bulletin A601R-28-064, Revision `A,' dated September 15, 2005 
(Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A601R-28-064, dated April 21, 2005, 
was referenced as the appropriate source of service information for 
doing the actions in the NPRM). The commenter notes that Revision `A' 
of the alert service bulletin is the latest issue with updated 
information.
    We agree with the commenter. The actions in Revision `A' of the 
alert service bulletin are essentially the same as the actions in the 
original issue. We have revised this AD to reference Revision `A' of 
the alert service bulletin. We have also added paragraph (g) to this AD 
to give credit for actions done in accordance with the original issue 
of the alert service bulletin and reidentified subsequent paragraphs 
accordingly.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the 
comment received, and determined that air safety and the public 
interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously. 
We have determined that these changes will neither increase the 
economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators 
to comply with this AD.

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:
    (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.
