SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the airworthiness
authority for Canada, notified us that an
unsafe condition may exist on
Bombardier Model DHC–8–102, DHC–
8–103, DHC–8–106, DHC–8–201, DHC–
8–202, DHC–8–301, DHC–8–311, and
DHC–8–315 airplanes equipped with a
cockpit door electronic strike system
installed in accordance with
supplemental type certificate (STC)
SA03–70 issue No. 1 or issue No. 2
(which is equivalent to STC
ST02014NY). TCCA advises that the
electronic strike system of the cockpit
door is defective. (STC SA03–70 issue
No. 3 incorporates the enhanced
security measures for these doors.)
Defective equipment, if not corrected,
could compromise flight safety.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA)
issued Canadian airworthiness directive
CF–2008–26R1, dated August 15, 2008
(referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information
or ‘‘MCAI’’) to ensure the continued
airworthiness of these airplanes in
Canada.
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of this AD
This product has been approved by
the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation
in the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with the State of
Design Authority, we have been notified
of the unsafe condition described in the
MCAI referenced above. We are issuing
this AD because we evaluated all
pertinent information and determined
an unsafe condition exists and is likely
to exist or develop on other products of
the same type design.
Therefore, we are issuing AD 2008–
26–03 to prevent failure of the
electronic strike system, which could
compromise flight safety. This AD
requires modifying the electronic strike
system of the cockpit door in
accordance with a method approved by
the Manager, New York Aircraft
Certification Office (ACO), FAA.

None of the airplanes affected by this
action are on the U.S. Register.
Therefore, providing notice and
opportunity for public comment is
unnecessary before this AD is issued,
and this AD may be made effective in
less than 30 days after it is published in
the Federal Register. However, this rule
is necessary to ensure that the described
unsafe condition is addressed if any of
these products are placed on the U.S.
Register in the future. The AD is hereby
published in the Federal Register as an
amendment to section 39.13 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
39.13) to make it effective to all persons.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves
requirements affecting flight safety, and
we did not provide you with notice and
an opportunity to provide your
comments before it becomes effective.
However, we invite you to send any
written data, views, or arguments about
this AD. Send your comments to an
address listed under the ADDRESSES
section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–
2009–0313; Directorate Identifier 2008–
NM–144–AD’’ at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite
comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy
aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
We will post all comments we
receive, without change, to https://
www.regulations.gov, including any
personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact we receive
about 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
E:\FR\FM\07APR1.SGM
07APR1
15666
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 65 / Tuesday, April 7, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
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 the regulation:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the airworthiness
authority for Canada, notified us that an unsafe condition may exist on
Bombardier Model DHC-8-102, DHC-8-103, DHC-8-106, DHC-8-201, DHC-8-202,
DHC-8-301, DHC-8-311, and DHC-8-315 airplanes equipped with a cockpit
door electronic strike system installed in accordance with supplemental
type certificate (STC) SA03-70 issue No. 1 or issue No. 2 (which is
equivalent to STC ST02014NY). TCCA advises that the electronic strike
system of the cockpit door is defective. (STC SA03-70 issue No. 3
incorporates the enhanced security measures for these doors.) Defective
equipment, if not corrected, could compromise flight safety. Transport
Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) issued Canadian airworthiness directive
CF-2008-26R1, dated August 15, 2008 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information or ``MCAI'') to ensure
the continued airworthiness of these airplanes in Canada.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of this AD
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced
above. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all pertinent
information and determined an unsafe condition exists and is likely to
exist or develop on other products of the same type design.
Therefore, we are issuing AD 2008-26-03 to prevent failure of the
electronic strike system, which could compromise flight safety. This AD
requires modifying the electronic strike system of the cockpit door in
accordance with a method approved by the Manager, New York Aircraft
Certification Office (ACO), FAA.
None of the airplanes affected by this action are on the U.S.
Register. Therefore, providing notice and opportunity for public
comment is unnecessary before this AD is issued, and this AD may be
made effective in less than 30 days after it is published in the
Federal Register. However, this rule is necessary to ensure that the
described unsafe condition is addressed if any of these products are
placed on the U.S. Register in the future. The AD is hereby published
in the Federal Register as an amendment to section 39.13 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.13) to make it effective to all
persons.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to

``Docket No. FAA-2009-0313; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-144-AD'' at
the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the
overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this
AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may
amend this AD because of those comments.
We will post all comments we receive, without change, to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.
