A
proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to
include an airworthiness directive (AD)
that is applicable to all BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146
and Avro 146–RJ airplanes was
published as a supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register on December 8, 2005
(70 FR 72942). That action proposed to
require installation of a linear fluidfilled damper between each elevator
surface and the airplane structure on
both the left and right sides of the
airplane, along with related structural
and system modifications. That action
also revised and updated applicable
service information and revised the
compliance time to accurately reflect
the compliance time specified by the
service information.

Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a
new airworthiness directive (AD),
applicable to all BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146
and Avro 146–RJ airplanes, that requires
installation of a linear fluid-filled
damper between each elevator surface
and the airplane structure on both the
left and right sides of the airplane, along
with related structural and system
modifications. The actions specified by
this AD are intended to prevent pitch
oscillation (vertical bouncing) of the
fuselage due to excessive ice buildup on
the elevator servo tab, and consequent
reduced controllability of the airplane.
This action is intended to address the
identified unsafe condition.
DATES: Effective March 24, 2006.
The incorporation by reference of
certain publications listed in the
regulations is approved by the Director
of the Federal Register as of March 24,
2006.
ADDRESSES: The service information

Comments
Interested persons have been afforded
an opportunity to participate in the
making of this amendment. We received
no comments on the supplemental
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, except for
certain minor editorial changes that
have no effect on any legal or technical
aspect of the AD.
Cost Impact
The FAA estimates that 55 airplanes
of U.S. registry will be affected by this
AD. Accomplishment of the required
actions specified in the referenced BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited
modification service bulletins will
require an approximate number of work
hours as shown in the following table,
at an average labor rate of $65 per work
hour.

Based on these figures, the total cost
impact of this AD on U.S. operators is
estimated to be between $1,079,980 and
$1,108,580, or between $19,636 and
$20,156 per airplane.
The cost impact figures discussed
above are based on assumptions that no
operator has yet accomplished any of
the requirements of this AD action, and
that no operator would accomplish
those actions in the future if this AD
were not adopted. The cost impact
figures discussed in AD rulemaking
actions represent only the time
necessary to perform the specific actions
actually required by the AD. These
figures typically do not include
incidental costs, such as the time
required to gain access and close up,
planning time, or time necessitated by
other administrative 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.
Regulatory Impact
The regulations adopted herein 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. Therefore, it is
determined that this final rule does not
have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this action (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. A final evaluation has
been prepared for this action and it is
contained in the Rules Docket. A copy
of it may be obtained from the Rules
Docket at the location provided under
the caption ADDRESSES.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD),
applicable to all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and
Avro 146-RJ airplanes, that requires installation of a linear fluid-
filled damper between each elevator surface and the airplane structure
on both the left and right sides of the airplane, along with related
structural and system modifications. The actions specified by this AD
are intended to prevent pitch oscillation (vertical bouncing) of the
fuselage due to excessive ice buildup on the elevator servo tab, and
consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is
intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
DATES: Effective March 24, 2006.
The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of March 24, 2006.
ADDRESSES: The service information referenced in this AD may be
obtained from British Aerospace Regional Aircraft American Support,
13850 Mclearen Road, Herndon, Virginia 20171. This information may be
examined at the FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue,
SW., Renton, Washington.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an airworthiness
directive (AD) that is applicable to all BAE Systems (Operations)
Limited Model BAe 146 and Avro 146-RJ airplanes was published as a
supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register on December 8, 2005 (70 FR 72942). That action proposed to
require installation of a linear fluid-filled damper between each
elevator surface and the airplane structure on both the left and right
sides of the airplane, along with related structural and system
modifications. That action also revised and updated applicable service
information and revised the compliance time to accurately reflect the
compliance time specified by the service information.
Comments
Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate
in the making of this amendment. We received no comments on the
supplemental 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,
except for certain minor editorial changes that have no effect on any
legal or technical aspect of the AD.
Cost Impact
The FAA estimates that 55 airplanes of U.S. registry will be
affected by this AD. Accomplishment of the required actions specified
in the referenced BAE Systems (Operations) Limited modification service
bulletins will require an approximate number of work hours as shown in
the following table, at an average labor rate of $65 per work hour.

\1\ (For Model BAE 146 airplanes only).
\2\ (For Model Avro 146-RJ airplanes only).
Based on these figures, the total cost impact of this AD on U.S.
operators is estimated to be between $1,079,980 and $1,108,580, or
between $19,636 and $20,156 per airplane.
The cost impact figures discussed above are based on assumptions
that no operator has yet accomplished any of the requirements of this
AD action, and that no operator would accomplish those actions in the
future if this AD were not adopted. The cost impact figures discussed
in AD rulemaking actions represent only the time necessary to perform
the specific actions actually required by the AD. These figures
typically do not include incidental costs, such as the time required to
gain access and close up, planning time, or time necessitated by other
administrative 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.
Regulatory Impact
The regulations adopted herein 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. Therefore, it
is determined that this final rule does not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this action (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. A final evaluation has been prepared for this action
and it is contained in the Rules Docket. A copy of it may be obtained
from the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption
