Download as PDF 64960 Proposed Rules Federal Register Vol. 75, No. 203 Thursday, October 21, 2010 This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER contains notices to the public of the proposed issuance of rules and regulations. The purpose of these notices is to give interested persons an opportunity to participate in the rule making prior to the adoption of the final rules. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2010–1039; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–002–AD] RIN 2120–AA64 Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). AGENCY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This proposed 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: jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with PROPOSALS-1 There has been numerous reported failures of the Regional Jet engine TCGB [throttle control gearbox] P/Ns: 2100140–003, 2100140–005 & 2100140–007. Some of these failures have resulted in in-flight engine shutdowns. Post incident investigations revealed that excessive wear within the engine TCGB could alter the rigging position or cause the throttle to jam. With the rigging position altered, movement of the throttle lever towards the idle position can result in throttle moving too close to the fuel shut-off position, which potentially, can cause the engine to flame out. * * * * * The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 6, 2010.

Discussion On March 8, 2005, we issued AD 2005–06–04, Amendment 39–14012 (70 FR 12963, March 17, 2005). That AD required actions intended to address an unsafe condition on the products listed above. Since we issued AD 2005–06–04, the inspection for the throttle control gearbox (TCGB) required by that AD has been transcribed in a new certification maintenance requirement (CMR) task. This NPRM proposes to mandate the incorporation of the new CMR task into the CL–600–2B19 maintenance requirements manual (MRM) as introduced by the MRM temporary revision 2A–47. Transport Canada Civil Aviation, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF– 2004–01R2, dated September 29, 2009 (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: There has been numerous reported failures of the Regional Jet engine TCGB P/Ns: 2100140–003, 2100140–005 & 2100140–007. Some of these failures have resulted in inflight engine shutdowns. Post incident investigations revealed that excessive wear within the engine TCGB could alter the rigging position or cause the throttle to jam. With the rigging position altered, movement of the throttle lever towards the idle position can result in throttle moving too close to the fuel shut-off position, which potentially, can cause the engine to flame out. Bombardier issued Service Bulletin (SB) 601R–76–019 dated 21 August 2003, to introduce an inspection of, and if required, replacement of the throttle control gearbox with a serviceable unit. AD CF–2004–01 was originally issued to mandate the subject inspection requirement as per SB 601R–76– 019 and subsequent revisions. The subject TCGB inspection requirements mandated as per the earlier versions of this AD, are now transcribed in a new Certification Maintenance Requirement (CMR) task. This revision is issued to E:\FR\FM\21OCP1.SGM 21OCP1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 203 / Thursday, October 21, 2010 / Proposed Rules mandate the incorporation of the new CMR task into the CL–600–2B19 Maintenance Requirements Manual (MRM), as introduced by the MRM Temporary Revision (TR) 2A–47. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket. Relevant Service Information Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 601R–76–019, Revision B, dated February 16, 2005; and Service Bulletin 601R–76–019, Revision C, dated July 5, 2007. Bombardier has also issued Temporary Revision 2A–47, dated May 27, 2009, to Appendix A— Certification Maintenance Requirements, of Part 2 of the Bombardier CL–600–2B19 Maintenance Requirements Manual. The actions described in this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI. FAA’s Determination and Requirements of This Proposed 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 and service information referenced above. We are proposing 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. jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with PROPOSALS-1 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 proposed different actions in this AD from those in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD. Costs of Compliance Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 638 products of U.S. registry. The actions that are required by AD 2005–06–04 and retained in this VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:39 Oct 20, 2010 Jkt 223001 proposed AD take about 7 work-hours per product. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the requirements retained in this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $379,610, or $595 per product We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the new basic requirements in this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $54,230, or $85 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 proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed 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. We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by removing Amendment 39–14012 (70 FR 12963, March 17, 2005) and adding the following new AD: Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA–2010– 1039; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM– 002–AD. Comments Due Date (a) We must receive comments by December 6, 2010. Affected ADs (b) The AD supersedes AD 2005–06–04, Amendment 39–14012. Applicability (c) This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, certificated in any category, having an engine throttle control gearbox (TCGB) with part number 2100140–003, 2100140–005, or 2100140–007 installed. Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph (m)(1) of this AD. The request should include a description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure the continued operational safety of the airplane. Subject (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 76: Engine Controls. Reason (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: There has been numerous reported failures of the Regional Jet engine TCGB P/Ns: 2100140–003, 2100140–005 & 2100140–007. Some of these failures have resulted in inflight engine shutdowns. Post incident investigations revealed that excessive wear within the engine TCGB could alter the rigging position or cause the throttle to jam. E:\FR\FM\21OCP1.SGM 21OCP1 64962 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 203 / Thursday, October 21, 2010 / Proposed Rules With the rigging position altered, movement of the throttle lever towards the idle position can result in throttle moving too close to the fuel shut-off position, which potentially, can cause the engine to flame out. Bombardier issued Service Bulletin (SB) 601R–76–019 dated 21 August 2003, to introduce an inspection of, and if required, replacement of the throttle control gearbox with a serviceable unit. AD CF–2004–01 was originally issued to mandate the subject inspection requirement as per SB 601R–76– 019 and subsequent revisions. The subject TCGB inspection requirements mandated as per the earlier versions of this AD, are now transcribed in a new Certification Maintenance Requirement (CMR) task. This revision is issued to mandate the incorporation of the new CMR task into the CL–600–2B19 Maintenance Requirements Manual (MRM), as introduced by the MRM Temporary Revision (TR) 2A–47. Compliance (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done. jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with PROPOSALS-1 Restatement of Requirements of AD 2005– 06–04, With New Service Information Inspection (g) For airplanes having serial numbers (S/Ns) 7003 through 7067 inclusive, and 7069 and subsequent: At the applicable time specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, do a detailed inspection for wear of the left and right engine throttle control gearboxes having part number (P/N) 2100140–005 or 2100140–007 by doing all the actions per Part A, paragraphs A., B., and C.(1) through C.(4), of the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R–76–019, dated August 21, 2003; Revision ‘A,’ dated February 19, 2004; Revision B, dated February 16, 2005; or Revision C, dated July 5, 2007.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). AGENCY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed 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 a normal walkaround check on a F28 Mark 0100 aeroplane, a large crack was discovered in the lower portion of the right (RH) MLG [main landing gear] piston. The affected MLG unit had accumulated 7909 flight cycles (FC) at the time of detection. * * * This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to MLG failure, possibly resulting in loss of control of the aeroplane during the landing roll-out. The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 6, 2010.

RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the 
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This 
proposed 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:

    There has been numerous reported failures of the Regional Jet 
engine TCGB [throttle control gearbox] P/Ns: 2100140-003, 2100140-
005 & 2100140-007. Some of these failures have resulted in in-flight 
engine shutdowns. Post incident investigations revealed that 
excessive wear within the engine TCGB could alter the rigging 
position or cause the throttle to jam. With the rigging position 
altered, movement of the throttle lever towards the idle position 
can result in throttle moving too close to the fuel shut-off 
position, which potentially, can cause the engine to flame out.
* * * * *
The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the 
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 6, 
2010.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    On March 8, 2005, we issued AD 2005-06-04, Amendment 39-14012 (70 
FR 12963, March 17, 2005). That AD required actions intended to address 
an unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2005-06-04, the inspection for the throttle 
control gearbox (TCGB) required by that AD has been transcribed in a 
new certification maintenance requirement (CMR) task. This NPRM 
proposes to mandate the incorporation of the new CMR task into the CL-
600-2B19 maintenance requirements manual (MRM) as introduced by the MRM 
temporary revision 2A-47. Transport Canada Civil Aviation, which is the 
aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness 
Directive CF-2004-01R2, dated September 29, 2009 (referred to after 
this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified 
products. The MCAI states:

    There has been numerous reported failures of the Regional Jet 
engine TCGB P/Ns: 2100140-003, 2100140-005 & 2100140-007. Some of 
these failures have resulted in in-flight engine shutdowns. Post 
incident investigations revealed that excessive wear within the 
engine TCGB could alter the rigging position or cause the throttle 
to jam. With the rigging position altered, movement of the throttle 
lever towards the idle position can result in throttle moving too 
close to the fuel shut-off position, which potentially, can cause 
the engine to flame out.
    Bombardier issued Service Bulletin (SB) 601R-76-019 dated 21 
August 2003, to introduce an inspection of, and if required, 
replacement of the throttle control gearbox with a serviceable unit. 
AD CF-2004-01 was originally issued to mandate the subject 
inspection requirement as per SB 601R-76-019 and subsequent 
revisions.
    The subject TCGB inspection requirements mandated as per the 
earlier versions of this AD, are now transcribed in a new 
Certification Maintenance Requirement (CMR) task. This revision is 
issued to

[[Page 64961]]

mandate the incorporation of the new CMR task into the CL-600-2B19 
Maintenance Requirements Manual (MRM), as introduced by the MRM 
Temporary Revision (TR) 2A-47.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD 
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 601R-76-019, Revision B, 
dated February 16, 2005; and Service Bulletin 601R-76-019, Revision C, 
dated July 5, 2007. Bombardier has also issued Temporary Revision 2A-
47, dated May 27, 2009, to Appendix A--Certification Maintenance 
Requirements, of Part 2 of the Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Maintenance 
Requirements Manual. The actions described in this service information 
are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed 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 and service 
information referenced above. We are proposing 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.

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 proposed different actions in this AD from those 
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are 
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD 
would affect about 638 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2005-06-04 and retained in this 
proposed AD take about 7 work-hours per product. The average labor rate 
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of 
the requirements retained in this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 
$379,610, or $595 per product
    We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to 
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average 
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate 
the cost of the new basic requirements in this proposed AD on U.S. 
operators to be $54,230, or $85 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 proposed AD would not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed 
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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to 
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by 
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the 
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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.


Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-14012 (70 FR 
12963, March 17, 2005) and adding the following new AD:

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA-2010-1039; Directorate Identifier 
2010-NM-002-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by December 6, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) The AD supersedes AD 2005-06-04, Amendment 39-14012.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, certificated in any 
category, having an engine throttle control gearbox (TCGB) with part 
number 2100140-003, 2100140-005, or 2100140-007 installed.

    Note 1:  This AD requires revisions to certain operator 
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with 
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes 
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the 
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able 
to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this 
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must 
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according 
to paragraph (m)(1) of this AD. The request should include a 
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure 
the continued operational safety of the airplane.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 76: Engine 
Controls.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 
states:
    There has been numerous reported failures of the Regional Jet 
engine TCGB P/Ns: 2100140-003, 2100140-005 & 2100140-007. Some of 
these failures have resulted in in-flight engine shutdowns. Post 
incident investigations revealed that excessive wear within the 
engine TCGB could alter the rigging position or cause the throttle 
to jam.

[[Page 64962]]

With the rigging position altered, movement of the throttle lever 
towards the idle position can result in throttle moving too close to 
the fuel shut-off position, which potentially, can cause the engine 
to flame out.
    Bombardier issued Service Bulletin (SB) 601R-76-019 dated 21 
August 2003, to introduce an inspection of, and if required, 
replacement of the throttle control gearbox with a serviceable unit. 
AD CF-2004-01 was originally issued to mandate the subject 
inspection requirement as per SB 601R-76-019 and subsequent 
revisions.
    The subject TCGB inspection requirements mandated as per the 
earlier versions of this AD, are now transcribed in a new 
Certification Maintenance Requirement (CMR) task. This revision is 
issued to mandate the incorporation of the new CMR task into the CL-
600-2B19 Maintenance Requirements Manual (MRM), as introduced by the 
MRM Temporary Revision (TR) 2A-47.

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this 
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the 
actions have already been done.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2005-06-04, With New Service 
Information

    Note 2:  For the purposes of this AD, a detailed inspection is: 
``An intensive visual examination of a specific structural area, 
system, installation, or assembly to detect damage, failure, or 
irregularity. Available lighting is normally supplemented with a 
direct source of good lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate by 
the inspector. Inspection aids such as mirror, magnifying lenses, 
etc., may be used. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures 
may be required.''

Corrective Action
