ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: SUMMARY: During testing, it was discovered that when the outflow valve (OFV) manual mode connector is not connected, the manual mode motor and altitude limitation are not properly tested. Consequently, a disconnect of the OFV manual mode and/or a related wiring failure could potentially result in a dormant loss of several CPC [cabin pressure control] backup/safety functions, including OFV manual control, altitude limitation, emergency depressurization and smoke clearance. * * * * * * * * We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD becomes effective October 7, 2010. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of October 7, 2010. E:\FR\FM\02SER1.SGM 02SER1 53852 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 170 / Thursday, September 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations On May 29, 2009 (74 FR 22646, May 14, 2009), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain other publications listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 3, 2009 (74 FR 63333), and proposed to supersede AD 2009–10–10, Amendment 39–15906 (74 FR 22646, May 14, 2009). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2009–10–10 and also requires modification (software update) of the cabin pressure control units and cabin pressure control panels. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We considered the comments received. Request To Allow Installation of a Certain Cabin Pressure Control (CPC) Part Number After the comment period for the NPRM closed, American Eagle Airlines (AEA) made an ex parte call to the FAA to request that we allow the installation of CPC units having part number (P/N) GG670–98002–9 that were modified in accordance with Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–21–030, dated December 22, 2009, as a method of compliance with paragraph (g)(1) of the NPRM. AEA did not provide additional supporting information to substantiate this request. We agree with the commenter’s request. After contacting Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) for further details, we determined that installation of certain CPC units modified according to Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–21–030, dated December 22, 2009, is acceptable for compliance with paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. We have added new paragraph (h) to this AD to provide this method of compliance, and have re-identified subsequent paragraphs accordingly. Request To Allow Installation of Certain Modified CPCs and Cabin Pressure Control Panels (CPCPs) AEA also requests allowing certain CPC units and CPCPs that were modified in accordance with certain Liebherr service bulletins (identified in the following table) as a method of compliance with the actions specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of the NPRM. AEA states that those Liebherr service bulletins were approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) to AD 2009–10–10. AEA also suggests that allowing the use of those certain Liebherr service bulletins would prevent the need for future AMOCs. LIEBHERR SERVICE BULLETINS Liebherr Service Bulletin— Revision— Dated— GG670–98001–21–03 GG670–98001–21–03 GG670–98002–21–02 GG670–98002–21–02 Original .................................................. 1 ............................................................ Original .................................................. 1 ............................................................ March 21, 2006. November 15, 2007. April 21, 2006. November 15, 2007. .......................................................................................... .......................................................................................... .......................................................................................... .......................................................................................... We partially agree with the commenter’s request. Since these Liebherr service bulletins were referenced as sources of additional guidance in Bombardier Service Bulletin A670BA–21–022, dated August 3, 2006, that was required by AD 2009– 10–10, we agree to provide credit for actions done according to those Liebherr service bulletins if the actions were accomplished before the effective date of AD 2009–10–10. We have added paragraph (i) to this AD to provide this credit. emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES Explanation of Change to Applicability We have revised the NPRM to identify the legal name of the manufacturer as published in the most recent type certificate data sheet for the affected airplane models. Explanation of Change to AMOC Paragraph We have revised paragraph (j)(1) of this AD to give credit for AMOCs VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:14 Sep 01, 2010 Jkt 220001 approved previously for AD 2009–10– 10. Conclusion We reviewed the available data, including the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD. Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information provided in the MCAI and related service information. PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 We might also have required different actions in this AD from those in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences are highlighted in a note within the AD. Explanation of Change to Costs of Compliance Since issuance of the NPRM, we have increased the labor rate used in the Costs of Compliance from $80 per workhour to $85 per work-hour. The Costs of Compliance information, below, reflects this increase in the specified hourly labor rate. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD will affect about 353 products of U.S. registry. The actions that are required by AD 2009–10–10 and retained in this AD take about 2 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently required actions is $170 per product. E:\FR\FM\02SER1.SGM 02SER1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 170 / Thursday, September 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations We estimate that it will take about 3 work-hours per product to comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per workhour. Required parts will cost about $43,000 per product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $15,269,015, or $43,255 per product. 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. emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES Regulatory Findings We 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 this AD: 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. We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:14 Sep 01, 2010 Jkt 220001 Examining the AD Docket You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https:// www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information. The street address for the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: ■ PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by removing Amendment 39–15906 (74 FR 22646, May 14, 2009) and adding the following new AD: ■ 2010–18–08 Bombardier, Inc: Amendment 39–16421. Docket No. FAA–2009–1110; Directorate Identifier 2009–NM–116–AD. Effective Date (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective October 7, 2010. Affected ADs (b) This AD supersedes AD 2009–10–10, Amendment 39–15906. Applicability (c) This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers 10003 through 10260 inclusive; and Model CL–600–2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) and CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers 15001 through 15095 inclusive. Subject (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 21: Air Conditioning. Reason (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: During testing, it was discovered that when the outflow valve (OFV) manual mode connector is not connected, the manual mode motor and altitude limitation are not PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 properly tested. Consequently, a disconnect of the OFV manual mode and/or a related wiring failure could potentially result in a dormant loss of several CPC [cabin pressure control] backup/safety functions, including OFV manual control, altitude limitation, emergency depressurization and smoke clearance. This deficiency is applicable to CPC units, Part Number (P/N) GG670–98002– 3 and –5, and CPCP [cabin pressure control panel], Part Number GG670–98001–5, –7 and –9. This [Canadian] directive mandates an interim repetitive check of the OFV manual mode motor and altitude limitation functions, followed by modification (software update) of the CPC units and the CPCP. The corrective action for findings of improper OFV manual mode motor and altitude limitation functions is replacing the valve with a new or serviceable valve. Restatement of Requirements of AD 2009– 10–10 Adoption of the Amendment § 39.13 53853 Actions and Compliance (f) Unless already done, do the following actions. Within 450 flight hours after May 29, 2009 (the effective date of AD 2009–10–10), inspect the OFV for proper operation of the manual mode motor and altitude limitation functions, in accordance with Part A of the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A670BA–21–022, dated August 3, 2006 (‘‘the service bulletin’’). If the OFV manual mode motor or altitude limitation functions do not operate properly, before further flight, do the actions specified in paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 450 flight hours. Accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (g) of this AD terminates the requirements of this paragraph. (1) Make sure that the electrical connectors, MPE23P1 and MPE23P2, are connected to the OFV. (2) Repeat the inspection of the OFV for proper operation of the manual mode motor and altitude limitation functions, in accordance with Part A of the service bulletin. If the OFV manual mode motor or altitude limitation functions do not operate properly, before further flight, replace the OFV with a new or serviceable valve in accordance with Tasks 21–32–01–000–801 and 21–32–01–400–801 of the Bombardier CRJ Regional Jet Series Aircraft Maintenance Manual, CSP B–001, Part 2, Volume 1, Revision 28, dated January 20, 2009, and do the inspection of the OFV specified in paragraph (f) of this AD. New Requirements of This AD Actions and Compliance (g) Unless already done, do the following actions. (1) Prior to accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (g)(2) of this AD: Install modified or new CPC units, P/N GG670–98002–7, in accordance with Part B of the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A670BA– 21–022, dated August 3, 2006. (2) Within 4,500 flight hours after the effective date of this AD: Install modified or E:\FR\FM\02SER1.SGM 02SER1 53854 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 170 / Thursday, September 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations new CPCPs, P/N GG670–98001–11, in accordance with Part C of the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A670BA–21–022, dated August 3, 2006. Doing the actions required by paragraph (g)(2) of this AD terminates the requirements of paragraph (f) of this AD. (h) Installing CPC units, P/N GG670– 98002–9, in accordance with Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–21–030, dated December 22, 2009, is acceptable for compliance with the corresponding requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. (i) Actions done before May 29, 2009, in accordance with a Liebherr service bulletin identified in Table 1 of this AD, are acceptable for compliance with the corresponding requirements of paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD.

Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your principal maintenance inspector (PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI), as appropriate, or lacking a principal inspector, your local Flight Standards District Office. The AMOC approval letter must specifically reference this AD. AMOCs approved previously in accordance with AD 2009–10–10 are approved as AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of this AD. (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered FAAapproved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority (or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product is airworthy before it is returned to service. (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120–0056.

That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2010 (75 FR 27959). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: Three events have been reported where insulation material was found to be fouling pulleys in the aileron interconnect circuit in the cabin roof area. The insulation material is contained in a bag, the material of which tends to become brittle with age. During the production life of the aeroplane type, several methods of bag retention were applied, all of which involved puncturing the bag. This PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Date puncture tends to result in a tear, which, if detected in time, can be repaired with tape; however, the affected cabin roof area is not frequently accessed for inspection. Over time, the weight of the bag also tends to cause tears in the material, making the insulation material sag, thereby causing interference with the cable and pulley. Interference between the cable and the insulation bag causes the material to be drawn into the gap between the pulley and the pulley guard. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to restricted aileron movement and consequently, reduced control of the aeroplane. For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires the installation of additional guards, bolts and nuts on the aileron interconnect cable pulleys at frame 29 (left and right). This [EASA] AD has been revised to exclude aeroplanes from the Applicability that have been modified to freighter configuration in accordance with BAE Systems modification No. HCM50200B. As this modification includes the removal of the insulation bags, the unsafe condition that is addressed by this [EASA] AD cannot exist or develop on those aeroplanes. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed. Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information provided in the MCAI and related service information.

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) 
for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory 
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation 
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe 
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 
condition as:

    During testing, it was discovered that when the outflow valve 
(OFV) manual mode connector is not connected, the manual mode motor 
and altitude limitation are not properly tested. Consequently, a 
disconnect of the OFV manual mode and/or a related wiring failure 
could potentially result in a dormant loss of several CPC [cabin 
pressure control] backup/safety functions, including OFV manual 
control, altitude limitation, emergency depressurization and smoke 
clearance. * * *
* * * * *
    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe 
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 7, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of October 7,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. 
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 3, 2009 (74 
FR 63333), and proposed to supersede AD 2009-10-10, Amendment 39-15906 
(74 FR 22646, May 14, 2009). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe 
condition for the specified products. This AD retains the requirements 
of AD 2009-10-10 and also requires modification (software update) of 
the cabin pressure control units and cabin pressure control panels.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request To Allow Installation of a Certain Cabin Pressure Control (CPC) 
Part Number

    After the comment period for the NPRM closed, American Eagle 
Airlines (AEA) made an ex parte call to the FAA to request that we 
allow the installation of CPC units having part number (P/N) GG670-
98002-9 that were modified in accordance with Bombardier Service 
Bulletin 670BA-21-030, dated December 22, 2009, as a method of 
compliance with paragraph (g)(1) of the NPRM. AEA did not provide 
additional supporting information to substantiate this request.
    We agree with the commenter's request. After contacting Transport 
Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) for further details, we determined that 
installation of certain CPC units modified according to Bombardier 
Service Bulletin 670BA-21-030, dated December 22, 2009, is acceptable 
for compliance with paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. We have added new 
paragraph (h) to this AD to provide this method of compliance, and have 
re-identified subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Request To Allow Installation of Certain Modified CPCs and Cabin 
Pressure Control Panels (CPCPs)

    AEA also requests allowing certain CPC units and CPCPs that were 
modified in accordance with certain Liebherr service bulletins 
(identified in the following table) as a method of compliance with the 
actions specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of the NPRM. AEA 
states that those Liebherr service bulletins were approved as an 
alternative method of compliance (AMOC) to AD 2009-10-10. AEA also 
suggests that allowing the use of those certain Liebherr service 
bulletins would prevent the need for future AMOCs.

                                           Liebherr Service Bulletins
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Liebherr Service Bulletin--                  Revision--                           Dated--

GG670-98002-21-02........................  1...........................  November 15, 2007.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We partially agree with the commenter's request. Since these 
Liebherr service bulletins were referenced as sources of additional 
guidance in Bombardier Service Bulletin A670BA-21-022, dated August 3, 
2006, that was required by AD 2009-10-10, we agree to provide credit 
for actions done according to those Liebherr service bulletins if the 
actions were accomplished before the effective date of AD 2009-10-10. 
We have added paragraph (i) to this AD to provide this credit.

Explanation of Change to Applicability

    We have revised the NPRM to identify the legal name of the 
manufacturer as published in the most recent type certificate data 
sheet for the affected airplane models.

Explanation of Change to AMOC Paragraph

    We have revised paragraph (j)(1) of this AD to give credit for 
AMOCs approved previously for AD 2009-10-10.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these 
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or 
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in 
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it 
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the 
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these 
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information 
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those 
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences 
are highlighted in a note within the AD.

Explanation of Change to Costs of Compliance

    Since issuance of the NPRM, we have increased the labor rate used 
in the Costs of Compliance from $80 per work-hour to $85 per work-hour. 
The Costs of Compliance information, below, reflects this increase in 
the specified hourly labor rate.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 353 products of U.S. 
registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2009-10-10 and retained in this 
AD take about 2 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 
per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the 
currently required actions is $170 per product.

[[Page 53853]]

    We estimate that it will take about 3 work-hours per product to 
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor 
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $43,000 per 
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that 
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no 
charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for 
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated 
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the 
U.S. operators to be $15,269,015, or $43,255 per product.

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 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 this AD:
    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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to 
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office 
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation, 
any comments received, and other information. The street address for 
the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the 
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly 
after receipt.

1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.


Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15906 (74 FR 
22646, May 14, 2009) and adding the following new AD:

2010-18-08 Bombardier, Inc: Amendment 39-16421. Docket No. FAA-2009-
1110; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-116-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective October 
7, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2009-10-10, Amendment 39-15906.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 
(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes, certificated in any 
category, serial numbers 10003 through 10260 inclusive; and Model 
CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet 
Series 900) airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers 
15001 through 15095 inclusive.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 21: Air 
Conditioning.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 
states:

    During testing, it was discovered that when the outflow valve 
(OFV) manual mode connector is not connected, the manual mode motor 
and altitude limitation are not properly tested. Consequently, a 
disconnect of the OFV manual mode and/or a related wiring failure 
could potentially result in a dormant loss of several CPC [cabin 
pressure control] backup/safety functions, including OFV manual 
control, altitude limitation, emergency depressurization and smoke 
clearance. This deficiency is applicable to CPC units, Part Number 
(P/N) GG670-98002-3 and -5, and CPCP [cabin pressure control panel], 
Part Number GG670-98001-5, -7 and -9.
    This [Canadian] directive mandates an interim repetitive check 
of the OFV manual mode motor and altitude limitation functions, 
followed by modification (software update) of the CPC units and the 
CPCP.

The corrective action for findings of improper OFV manual mode motor 
and altitude limitation functions is replacing the valve with a new 
or serviceable valve.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2009-10-10

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions. Within 450 
flight hours after May 29, 2009 (the effective date of AD 2009-10-
10), inspect the OFV for proper operation of the manual mode motor 
and altitude limitation functions, in accordance with Part A of the 
Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin 
A670BA-21-022, dated August 3, 2006 (``the service bulletin''). If 
the OFV manual mode motor or altitude limitation functions do not 
operate properly, before further flight, do the actions specified in 
paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD. Repeat the inspection 
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 450 flight hours. 
Accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (g) of this AD 
terminates the requirements of this paragraph.
    (1) Make sure that the electrical connectors, MPE23P1 and 
MPE23P2, are connected to the OFV.
    (2) Repeat the inspection of the OFV for proper operation of the 
manual mode motor and altitude limitation functions, in accordance 
with Part A of the service bulletin. If the OFV manual mode motor or 
altitude limitation functions do not operate properly, before 
further flight, replace the OFV with a new or serviceable valve in 
accordance with Tasks 21-32-01-000-801 and 21-32-01-400-801 of the 
Bombardier CRJ Regional Jet Series Aircraft Maintenance Manual, CSP 
B-001, Part 2, Volume 1, Revision 28, dated January 20, 2009, and do 
the inspection of the OFV specified in paragraph (f) of this AD.

New Requirements of This AD

Actions and Compliance

    (g) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Prior to accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph 
(g)(2) of this AD: Install modified or new CPC units, P/N GG670-
98002-7, in accordance with Part B of the Accomplishment 
Instructions of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A670BA-21-022,

FAA AD Differences

    Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information 
as follows: The MCAI and Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A670BA-
21-022, dated August 3, 2006, do not describe corrective actions for 
findings of improper OFV manual mode motor and altitude limitation 
functions. This AD requires the actions in paragraphs (f)(1) and 
(f)(2) of this AD, which include replacing the valve if the OFV 
manual mode motor or altitude limitation functions do not operate 
properly.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (j) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, New 
York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), ANE-170, FAA, has the 
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Program 
Manager, Continuing Operational Safety, FAA, New York ACO, 1600 
Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, New York 11590; telephone (516) 
228-7300; fax (516) 794-5531. Before using any approved AMOC on any 
airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your principal 
maintenance inspector (PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI), 
as appropriate, or lacking a principal inspector, your local Flight 
Standards District Office. The AMOC approval letter must 
specifically reference this AD. AMOCs approved previously in 
accordance with AD 2009-10-10 are approved as AMOCs for the 
corresponding provisions of this AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain 
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these 
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered 
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority 
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product 
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in 
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
approved the information collection requirements and has assigned 
OMB Control Number 2120-0056.
