ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for all BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited Model
BAe 146 and Model Avro 146–RJ
airplanes. This AD requires calculating
the current life of each lift spoiler jack,
and eventually replacing each lift
spoiler jack. This AD results from a
review of all system components as part
of the life-extension program for the
affected airplanes that indicated the
fatigue life limit of certain lift spoiler
jacks cannot be extended from the
current life limit. We are issuing this AD
to prevent failure of the lift spoiler jack,
and consequent increased drag and
uncommanded roll inputs, which could
reduce the flightcrew’s ability to control
the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
January 16, 2007.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in the AD
as of January 16, 2007.
ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD
docket on the Internet at https://

Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to all BAE Systems (Operations)
Limited Model BAe 146 and Model
Avro 146–RJ airplanes. That NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on
September 28, 2006 (71 FR 56903). That
NPRM proposed to require calculating
the current life of each lift spoiler jack,
and eventually replacing each lift
spoiler jack.
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
The following table provides the
estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 238 / Tuesday, December 12, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
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.

Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to all BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and Model Avro 146-RJ airplanes.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on September 28, 2006
(71 FR 56903). That NPRM proposed to require calculating the current
life of each lift spoiler jack, and eventually replacing each lift
spoiler jack.
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.

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

2006-25-10 BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (Formerly British
Aerospace Regional Aircraft): Amendment 39-14851. Docket No. FAA-
2006-25920; Directorate Identifier 2006-NM-137-AD.
Effective Date
(a) This AD becomes effective January 16, 2007.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to the airplanes specified in paragraphs
(c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category, having
lift spoiler jacks with part number (P/N) P308-45-0002, P308-45-
0102, or P308-45-0202.
(1) All BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146-100A, -
200A, and -300A series airplanes.
(2) All Model Avro 146-RJ70A, 146-RJ85A, and 146-RJ100A
airplanes.
Unsafe Condition
(d) This AD results from a review of all system components as
part of the life-extension program for the affected airplanes that
indicated the fatigue life of certain lift spoiler jacks cannot be
extended from the current life limit. We are issuing this AD to
prevent failure of the lift spoiler jack, and consequent increased
drag and uncommanded roll inputs, which could reduce the
flightcrew's ability to control the airplane.
Compliance
(e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.
Calculating the Life Limit
(f) Within 18 months after the effective date of this AD:
Calculate the current life of each lift spoiler jack in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of BAE Systems (Operations)
Limited Modification Service Bulletin ISB.27-178, dated January 14,
2005.

Bulletin ISB.27-178 refers to the service information listed in
Table 1 of this AD as additional sources of service information for
the actions in paragraphs (f) and (g) of this AD.
