ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier Model DHC–8–400 series
airplanes. This AD requires revising the
Limitations section of the airplane flight
manual to include procedures for
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
pulling the ‘‘HYD PWR XFER’’ circuit
breaker in the event of the loss of all
hydraulic fluid in the No. 1 or No. 2
hydraulic system. This AD results from
reports of fluid loss in the No. 2
hydraulic system, causing the power
transfer unit to overspeed, increasing
the fluid flow within the No. 1
hydraulic system. We are issuing this
AD to prevent possible loss of both the
No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic systems,
resulting in the potential loss of several
functions essential for safe flight and
landing of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective July
10, 2007.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in the AD
as of July 10, 2007.

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
DHC–8–400 series airplanes. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on April 4, 2007 (72 FR 16289).
That NPRM proposed to require revising
the Limitations section of the airplane
flight manual (AFM) to include
procedures for pulling the ‘‘HYD PWR
XFER’’ circuit breaker in the event of
E:\FR\FM\05JNR1.SGM
05JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 107 / Tuesday, June 5, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
the loss of all hydraulic fluid in the No.
1 or No. 2 hydraulic system.
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.
Clarification of Alternative Method of
Compliance (AMOC) Paragraph
We have revised this action to clarify
the appropriate procedure for notifying
the principal inspector before using any
approved AMOC on any airplane to
which the AMOC applies.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data and determined that air
safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD with the change
described previously. We have
determined that this change will neither
increase the economic burden on any
operator nor increase the scope of the
AD.
30969
Interim Action
We consider this AD interim action.
The manufacturer is currently
developing a modification that will
address the unsafe condition identified
in this AD. Once this modification is
developed, approved, and available, we
might consider additional rulemaking.

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.
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC71 with RULES
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;

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This AD requires
revising the Limitations section of the airplane flight manual to
include procedures for pulling the ``HYD PWR XFER'' circuit breaker in
the event of the loss of all hydraulic fluid in the No. 1 or No. 2
hydraulic system. This AD results from reports of fluid loss in the No.
2 hydraulic system, causing the power transfer unit to overspeed,
increasing the fluid flow within the No. 1 hydraulic system. We are
issuing this AD to prevent possible loss of both the No. 1 and No. 2
hydraulic systems, resulting in the potential loss of several functions
essential for safe flight and landing of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective July 10, 2007.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of July 10, 2007.

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 DHC-8-400 series airplanes. That NPRM was published in the
Federal Register on April 4, 2007 (72 FR 16289). That NPRM proposed to
require revising the Limitations section of the airplane flight manual
(AFM) to include procedures for pulling the ``HYD PWR XFER'' circuit
breaker in the event of
[[Page 30969]]
the loss of all hydraulic fluid in the No. 1 or No. 2 hydraulic system.
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.
Clarification of Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) Paragraph
We have revised this action to clarify the appropriate procedure
for notifying the principal inspector before using any approved AMOC on
any airplane to which the AMOC applies.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the
change described previously. We have determined that this change will
neither increase the economic burden on any operator nor increase the
scope of the AD.
Interim Action
We consider this AD interim action. The manufacturer is currently
developing a modification that will address the unsafe condition
identified in this AD. Once this modification is developed, approved,
and available, we might consider additional rulemaking.
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.

(d) This AD results from reports of fluid loss in the No. 2
hydraulic system, causing the power transfer unit to overspeed,
increasing the fluid flow within the No. 1 hydraulic system. We are
issuing this AD to prevent possible loss of both the No. 1 and No. 2
hydraulic systems, resulting in the potential loss of several
functions essential for safe flight and landing of 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.
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision
(f) Within 14 days after the effective date of this AD, revise
the Limitations section of the applicable AFM to include the
information in the applicable Bombardier temporary amendment
specified in Table 1 of this AD, as specified in the temporary
amendment. These temporary amendments introduce procedures for
pulling the ``HYD PWR XFER'' circuit breaker in the event of the
loss of all hydraulic fluid in the No. 1 or No. 2 hydraulic system.
Operate the airplane according to the limitations and procedures in
the applicable temporary amendment.
