ACTION: Supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM);
reopening of comment period.
AGENCY:
We are revising an earlier
NPRM for the products listed above.
This action revises the earlier NPRM by
expanding the scope. 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:
There have been four reports of loose or
detached main landing gear torque link apex
pin locking plate and the locking plate
retainer bolt. This condition could result in
torque link apex pin disengagement, heavy
vibration during landing, damage to main
landing gear components and subsequent
main landing gear collapse.

Discussion
We proposed to amend 14 CFR part
39 with an earlier NPRM for the
specified products, which was
published in the Federal Register on
August 5, 2009 (74 FR 38993). That
earlier NPRM proposed to require
actions intended to address the unsafe
condition for the products listed above.
Since that earlier NPRM was issued,
we have determined that main landing
gear (MLG) shock strut assemblies
having part number (P/Ns) 49000–11
through 49000–22 inclusive and serial
numbers (S/Ns) 0001 through 0284
inclusive are rotable parts. Therefore,
the possibility exists that these parts
might be installed on additional
airplanes. For this reason, we find it
necessary to require an inspection to
determine if the subject MLG shock
strut assemblies are installed for all
Model CL–600–2C10 airplanes having
S/Ns 10003 and subsequent, and Model
CL–600–2D15 and Cl–600–2D24
airplanes having S/Ns 15001 and
subsequent. Therefore, for all affected
airplanes, we are revising this
supplemental NPRM to add an
inspection to determine the part and
serial numbers of the MLG shock strut
assemblies installed.
You may obtain further information
by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.
Comments
We have considered the following
comments received on the earlier
NPRM.
Request To Revise Paragraphs (f)(1) and
(f)(2) of the Earlier NPRM
American Eagle Airlines (American
Eagle) requested that we revise
paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of the earlier
NPRM to cover Model CL–600–2C10
airplanes having serial numbers (S/Ns)
10003 and subsequent, equipped with
MLG shock strut assemblies having part
numbers (P/Ns) 49000–11 through
49000–22 inclusive and S/Ns 0001
through 0252 inclusive. The commenter
stated the following:
• If one of the affected MLG shock
strut assemblies were installed on an
airplane with a S/N of 10224 or greater,
paragraph (f)(1) of the earlier NPRM
would not require the assembly to be
inspected.
• If an MLG shock strut assembly that
is not in the affected range were
installed on an airplane with S/N 10003
through 10223 inclusive, paragraph

11JAP1
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2011 / Proposed Rules
(f)(1) of the earlier NPRM would require
the assembly to be inspected in
accordance with Part A of Bombardier
Service Bulletin 670BA–32–019,
Revision A, dated September 18, 2008,
and, consequently, with Goodrich
Service Bulletin 49000–32–30, which is
not applicable to that assembly.
• If one of the affected MLG shock
strut assemblies were installed on an
airplane having a S/N of 10240 or
greater, paragraph (f)(2) of the earlier
NPRM would not require the assembly
to be reworked.
• If an MLG shock strut assembly not
in the affected range were installed on
an airplane with S/Ns 10003 through
10239 inclusive, paragraph (f)(2) of the
earlier NPRM would require the
assembly to be reworked in accordance
with Part B of Bombardier Service
Bulletin 670BA–32–019, Revision A,
dated September 18, 2008, and,
consequently, with Goodrich Service
Bulletin 49000–32–32, which is not
applicable to that assembly.
We agree to revise paragraphs (h) and
(i) of this supplemental NPRM
(specified as paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2)
of the earlier NPRM). Operators should
note that Model CL–600–2C10 airplanes
having S/N 10224 and subsequent had
Part A of Bombardier Service Bulletin
670BA–32–019, Revision A, dated
September 18, 2008, accomplished prior
to delivery; those airplanes are still
subject to Part B of Bombardier Service
Bulletin 670BA–32–019, Revision A,
dated September 18, 2008. Operators
should also note that Model CL–600–
2C10 airplanes having S/N 10240 and
subsequent had Part B of Bombardier
Service Bulletin 670BA–32–019,
Revision A, dated September 18, 2008,
accomplished prior to delivery.
However, as explained previously, we
have determined that MLG shock strut
assemblies having P/Ns 49000–11
through 49000–22 inclusive and S/Ns
0001 through 0284 inclusive are rotable
parts. Therefore, the possibility exists
that these parts might be installed on
additional airplanes, as American Eagle
describes.
As stated previously, we revised this
supplemental NPRM to add an
inspection to identify MLG shock strut
assemblies having P/Ns 49000–11
through 49000–22 inclusive and S/Ns
0001 through 0284 inclusive. We also
revised paragraphs (h) and (i) of this
supplemental NPRM (specified as
paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of the earlier
NPRM) to apply to any MLG shock strut
assemblies having P/Ns 49000–11
through 49000–22 inclusive and S/Ns
0001 through 0284 inclusive identified
during the inspection, as specified in
paragraph (g) of this supplemental
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
NPRM. We have also added the costs for
accomplishing the newly added
inspection specified in paragraph (g) of
this supplemental NPRM to the Costs of
Compliance section of this
supplemental NPRM.
Request To Allow Installation of
Certain Reworked MLG Shock Strut
Assemblies
American Eagle requested that we
revise paragraph (f)(3) of the earlier
NPRM to allow the installation of MLG
shock strut assemblies that have been
reworked in accordance with Goodrich
Service Bulletin 49000–32–32. The
commenter stated that paragraph (f)(3)
of the earlier NPRM prohibits
installation of certain MLG shock strut
assemblies unless they have been
reworked in accordance with Part B of
the Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–32–
019, Revision A, dated September 18,
2008. The commenter pointed out that
Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–32–
019, Revision A, dated September 18,
2008, specifies reworking the subject
MLG shock strut assemblies that are
installed on the airplanes, not those that
are not installed on the airplane (e.g.,
spares or replacement assemblies),
which will be reworked using Goodrich
Service Bulletin 49000–32–32.
We do not agree that a change to this
supplemental NPRM is necessary in this
regard. Part B of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Bombardier Service
Bulletin 670BA–32–019, Revision A,
dated September 18, 2008, refers to
Goodrich Service Bulletin 49000–32–32
as an additional source of guidance for
reworking the MLG shock strut
assemblies. If an operator has reworked
an MLG shock strut assembly using the
procedures specified in Goodrich
Service Bulletin 49000–32–32, that
assembly meets the requirements of
paragraph (j) of this supplemental
NPRM (specified as paragraph (f)(3) of
the earlier NPRM). However, we have
revised paragraph (j) of this
supplemental NPRM to refer to
paragraph B. of Part B of the
Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–32–
019, Revision A, dated September 18,
2008. This change eliminates the
necessity of accomplishing the opening
and closing procedures specified in Part
B of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–32–
019, Revision A, dated September 18,
2008, for assemblies that are reworked
while not installed on the airplane.

Request To Provide Credit for Actions
Done Using Goodrich Service
Information
American Eagle requested that we
revise paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(3) of the
earlier NPRM to allow operators to take
credit for accomplishing the required
actions in accordance with Goodrich
Service Bulletin 49000–32–30 or 49000–
32–32, as applicable.
We do not agree to provide credit for
operators that have done the required
actions in accordance with the
applicable Goodrich service
information. Bombardier Service
Bulletin 670BA–32–019, Revision A,
dated September 18, 2008, refers to
Goodrich Service Bulletin 49000–32–30
and 49000–32–32 as additional sources
of guidance for the actions specified in
this supplemental NPRM. If an operator
has accomplished the actions specified
in Goodrich Service Bulletin 49000–32–
30 or 49000–32–32, the operator is
already in compliance with the
applicable requirements specified in
this supplemental NPRM. Therefore,
there is no need to revise this
supplemental NPRM in this regard.
Explanation of Additional Changes
Made to This Supplemental NPRM
We have revised this supplemental
NPRM to identify the legal name of the
manufacturer as published in the most
recent type certificate data sheet for the
affected airplane models.
We have added a new paragraph (f) to
this supplemental NPRM to make this
supplemental NPRM parallel with other
new AD actions. We have reidentified
subsequent paragraphs accordingly.
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.
Certain changes described above
expand the scope of the earlier NPRM.
As a result, we have determined that it
is necessary to reopen the comment
period to provide additional
opportunity for the public to comment
on this proposed AD.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2011 / Proposed Rules
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.
Explanation of Change to Costs of
Compliance
Since issuance of the earlier 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
Based on the service information, we
estimate that this proposed AD would
affect about 361 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would
take about 5 work-hours per product to
comply with the 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
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be
$153,425, or $425 per product.

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.

Safety.
Inspection for Part Number (P/N) and Serial
Number (S/N)
(g) For all airplanes identified in
paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD:
Within 900 flight hours after the effective
date of this AD, inspect the main landing
gear (MLG) shock strut assemblies to
determine whether an MLG shock strut
assembly having P/Ns 49000–11 through
49000–22 inclusive and a S/N 0001 through
0284 inclusive is installed. A review of
airplane maintenance records is acceptable in
lieu of this inspection if the part and serial
numbers of the MLG shock strut assembly
can be conclusively determined from that
review.
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.
Authority for This Rulemaking
VerDate Mar<15>2010
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.

Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) states:
There have been four reports of loose or
detached main landing gear torque link apex
pin locking plate and the locking plate
retainer bolt. This condition could result in
torque link apex pin disengagement, heavy
vibration during landing, damage to main
landing gear components and subsequent
main landing gear collapse.
Investigation has determined that incorrect
stack-up tolerances of the apex joint or
improper installation of the locking plate and
apex nut could result in torque link apex pin
disengagement. This directive mandates [a
one-time detailed] inspection of the torque
link apex joint [for correct installation and
damage, and corrective actions if necessary]
and replacement of the torque link apex nut.
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.
Inspection of the Torque Link Apex Joint
(h) For any MLG shock strut assembly
having P/Ns 49000–11 through 49000–22
inclusive and a S/N 0001 through 0284
inclusive found installed during the

FAA AD Differences
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
Note 1: The MCAI specifies to inspect only
airplanes having certain serial numbers that
are part of the MCAI applicability. Because
the affected part could be rotated onto any of
the airplanes listed in the applicability, this
AD requires that the inspection be done on
all airplanes. We have coordinated this with
the Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA).
Other FAA AD Provisions
(m) 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,
notify your appropriate principal inspector,
or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/
certificate holding district office. The AMOC
approval letter must specifically reference
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:17 Jan 10, 2011
Jkt 223001
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: A federal
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, nor
shall a person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of
information subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that
collection of information displays a current
valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for this information
collection is 2120–0056. Public reporting for
this collection of information is estimated to
be approximately 5 minutes per response,
including the time for reviewing instructions,
completing and reviewing the collection of
information. All responses to this collection
of information are mandatory. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden and
suggestions for reducing the burden should
be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence
Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20591, Attn:
Information Collection Clearance Officer,
AES–200.
Special Flight Permits
(n) Special flight permits, as described in
Section 21.197 and Section 21.199 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197
and 21.199), are not allowed.

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier NPRM for the products listed above.
This action revises the earlier NPRM by expanding the scope. 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 have been four reports of loose or detached main landing
gear torque link apex pin locking plate and the locking plate
retainer bolt. This condition could result in torque link apex pin
disengagement, heavy vibration during landing, damage to main
landing gear components and subsequent main landing gear collapse.
* * * * *
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 February 25,
2011.

Discussion
We proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with an earlier NPRM for the
specified products, which was published in the Federal Register on
August 5, 2009 (74 FR 38993). That earlier NPRM proposed to require
actions intended to address the unsafe condition for the products
listed above.
Since that earlier NPRM was issued, we have determined that main
landing gear (MLG) shock strut assemblies having part number (P/Ns)
49000-11 through 49000-22 inclusive and serial numbers (S/Ns) 0001
through 0284 inclusive are rotable parts. Therefore, the possibility
exists that these parts might be installed on additional airplanes. For
this reason, we find it necessary to require an inspection to determine
if the subject MLG shock strut assemblies are installed for all Model
CL-600-2C10 airplanes having S/Ns 10003 and subsequent, and Model CL-
600-2D15 and Cl-600-2D24 airplanes having S/Ns 15001 and subsequent.
Therefore, for all affected airplanes, we are revising this
supplemental NPRM to add an inspection to determine the part and serial
numbers of the MLG shock strut assemblies installed.
You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.
Comments
We have considered the following comments received on the earlier
NPRM.
Request To Revise Paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of the Earlier NPRM
American Eagle Airlines (American Eagle) requested that we revise
paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of the earlier NPRM to cover Model CL-600-
2C10 airplanes having serial numbers (S/Ns) 10003 and subsequent,
equipped with MLG shock strut assemblies having part numbers (P/Ns)
49000-11 through 49000-22 inclusive and S/Ns 0001 through 0252
inclusive. The commenter stated the following:
If one of the affected MLG shock strut assemblies were
installed on an airplane with a S/N of 10224 or greater, paragraph
(f)(1) of the earlier NPRM would not require the assembly to be
inspected.
If an MLG shock strut assembly that is not in the affected
range were installed on an airplane with S/N 10003 through 10223
inclusive, paragraph
[[Page 1557]]
(f)(1) of the earlier NPRM would require the assembly to be inspected
in accordance with Part A of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-019,
Revision A, dated September 18, 2008, and, consequently, with Goodrich
Service Bulletin 49000-32-30, which is not applicable to that assembly.
If one of the affected MLG shock strut assemblies were
installed on an airplane having a S/N of 10240 or greater, paragraph
(f)(2) of the earlier NPRM would not require the assembly to be
reworked.
If an MLG shock strut assembly not in the affected range
were installed on an airplane with S/Ns 10003 through 10239 inclusive,
paragraph (f)(2) of the earlier NPRM would require the assembly to be
reworked in accordance with Part B of Bombardier Service Bulletin
670BA-32-019, Revision A, dated September 18, 2008, and, consequently,
with Goodrich Service Bulletin 49000-32-32, which is not applicable to
that assembly.
We agree to revise paragraphs (h) and (i) of this supplemental NPRM
(specified as paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of the earlier NPRM).
Operators should note that Model CL-600-2C10 airplanes having S/N 10224
and subsequent had Part A of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-019,
Revision A, dated September 18, 2008, accomplished prior to delivery;
those airplanes are still subject to Part B of Bombardier Service
Bulletin 670BA-32-019, Revision A, dated September 18, 2008. Operators
should also note that Model CL-600-2C10 airplanes having S/N 10240 and
subsequent had Part B of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-019,
Revision A, dated September 18, 2008, accomplished prior to delivery.
However, as explained previously, we have determined that MLG shock
strut assemblies having P/Ns 49000-11 through 49000-22 inclusive and S/
Ns 0001 through 0284 inclusive are rotable parts. Therefore, the
possibility exists that these parts might be installed on additional
airplanes, as American Eagle describes.
As stated previously, we revised this supplemental NPRM to add an
inspection to identify MLG shock strut assemblies having P/Ns 49000-11
through 49000-22 inclusive and S/Ns 0001 through 0284 inclusive. We
also revised paragraphs (h) and (i) of this supplemental NPRM
(specified as paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of the earlier NPRM) to
apply to any MLG shock strut assemblies having P/Ns 49000-11 through
49000-22 inclusive and S/Ns 0001 through 0284 inclusive identified
during the inspection, as specified in paragraph (g) of this
supplemental NPRM. We have also added the costs for accomplishing the
newly added inspection specified in paragraph (g) of this supplemental
NPRM to the Costs of Compliance section of this supplemental NPRM.
Request To Allow Installation of Certain Reworked MLG Shock Strut
Assemblies
American Eagle requested that we revise paragraph (f)(3) of the
earlier NPRM to allow the installation of MLG shock strut assemblies
that have been reworked in accordance with Goodrich Service Bulletin
49000-32-32. The commenter stated that paragraph (f)(3) of the earlier
NPRM prohibits installation of certain MLG shock strut assemblies
unless they have been reworked in accordance with Part B of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-
019, Revision A, dated September 18, 2008. The commenter pointed out
that Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-019, Revision A, dated
September 18, 2008, specifies reworking the subject MLG shock strut
assemblies that are installed on the airplanes, not those that are not
installed on the airplane (e.g., spares or replacement assemblies),
which will be reworked using Goodrich Service Bulletin 49000-32-32.
We do not agree that a change to this supplemental NPRM is
necessary in this regard. Part B of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-019, Revision A, dated September
18, 2008, refers to Goodrich Service Bulletin 49000-32-32 as an
additional source of guidance for reworking the MLG shock strut
assemblies. If an operator has reworked an MLG shock strut assembly
using the procedures specified in Goodrich Service Bulletin 49000-32-
32, that assembly meets the requirements of paragraph (j) of this
supplemental NPRM (specified as paragraph (f)(3) of the earlier NPRM).
However, we have revised paragraph (j) of this supplemental NPRM to
refer to paragraph B. of Part B of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-019, Revision A, dated September
18, 2008. This change eliminates the necessity of accomplishing the
opening and closing procedures specified in Part B of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-
019, Revision A, dated September 18, 2008, for assemblies that are
reworked while not installed on the airplane.
Request To Provide Credit for Actions Done Using Goodrich Service
Information
American Eagle requested that we revise paragraphs (f)(2) and
(f)(3) of the earlier NPRM to allow operators to take credit for
accomplishing the required actions in accordance with Goodrich Service
Bulletin 49000-32-30 or 49000-32-32, as applicable.
We do not agree to provide credit for operators that have done the
required actions in accordance with the applicable Goodrich service
information. Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-019, Revision A,
dated September 18, 2008, refers to Goodrich Service Bulletin 49000-32-
30 and 49000-32-32 as additional sources of guidance for the actions
specified in this supplemental NPRM. If an operator has accomplished
the actions specified in Goodrich Service Bulletin 49000-32-30 or
49000-32-32, the operator is already in compliance with the applicable
requirements specified in this supplemental NPRM. Therefore, there is
no need to revise this supplemental NPRM in this regard.
Explanation of Additional Changes Made to This Supplemental NPRM
We have revised this supplemental NPRM to identify the legal name
of the manufacturer as published in the most recent type certificate
data sheet for the affected airplane models.
We have added a new paragraph (f) to this supplemental NPRM to make
this supplemental NPRM parallel with other new AD actions. We have
reidentified subsequent paragraphs accordingly.
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.
Certain changes described above expand the scope of the earlier
NPRM. As a result, we have determined that it is necessary to reopen
the comment period to provide additional opportunity for the public to
comment on this proposed AD.
[[Page 1558]]
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.
Explanation of Change to Costs of Compliance
Since issuance of the earlier 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
Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 361 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 5 work-hours per product to comply with the 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 proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $153,425, or $425 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

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 adding the following new AD:
Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA-2009-0703; Directorate Identifier
2009-NM-093-AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) We must receive comments by February 25, 2011.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to the Bombardier airplanes identified in
paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any
category.
(1) Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702)
airplanes, serial numbers (S/Ns) 10003 and subsequent.
(2) Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes and
Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, S/Ns 15001
and subsequent.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32: Landing
gear.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
There have been four reports of loose or detached main landing
gear torque link apex pin locking plate and the locking plate
retainer bolt. This condition could result in torque link apex pin
disengagement, heavy vibration during landing, damage to main
landing gear components and subsequent main landing gear collapse.
Investigation has determined that incorrect stack-up tolerances
of the apex joint or improper installation of the locking plate and
apex nut could result in torque link apex pin disengagement. This
directive mandates [a one-time detailed] inspection of the torque
link apex joint [for correct installation and damage, and corrective
actions if necessary] and replacement of the torque link apex nut.
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.
Inspection for Part Number (P/N) and Serial Number (S/N)
(g) For all airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2)
of this AD: Within 900 flight hours after the effective date of this
AD, inspect the main landing gear (MLG) shock strut assemblies to
determine whether an MLG shock strut assembly having P/Ns 49000-11
through 49000-22 inclusive and a S/N 0001 through 0284 inclusive is
installed. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in
lieu of this inspection if the part and serial numbers of the MLG
shock strut assembly can be conclusively determined from that
review.
Inspection of the Torque Link Apex Joint
(h) For any MLG shock strut assembly having P/Ns 49000-11
through 49000-22 inclusive and a S/N 0001 through 0284 inclusive
found installed during the inspection or records check required by
paragraph (g) of this AD: Within 900 flight hours after the
effective date of this AD, perform a one-time detailed inspection
and all applicable corrective actions on the torque link apex joint,
in accordance with Part A of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-019, Revision A, dated
September 18, 2008, except as provided by paragraph (l) of this AD.
Do all applicable corrective actions before further flight.
Replacement or Rework of the Apex Nut
(i) For any MLG shock strut assembly identified during the
inspection or records check required by paragraph (g) of this AD:
Within 4,500 flight hours after the effective date of this AD,
replace or rework the apex nut, in accordance with Part B of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-
019, Revision A, dated September 18, 2008.
[[Page 1559]]
Parts Installation
(j) As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install,
on any airplane, a replacement MLG shock strut assembly identified
in paragraph (j)(1) or (j)(2) of this AD, unless it has been
reworked in accordance with paragraph B. of Part B of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-
019, Revision A, dated September 18, 2008.
(1) Part numbers 49000-11 through 49000-22 inclusive, and with a
serial number in the range of S/Ns 0001 through 0284 inclusive (the
serial number can start with ``MA,'' ``MAL,'' or ``MA-'').
(2) Part numbers 49050-5 through 49050-10 inclusive, and with a
serial number in the range of S/Ns 1001 through 1114 inclusive (the
serial number can start with ``MA,'' ``MAL,'' or ``MA-'').
Credit for Actions Accomplished in Accordance With Previous Service
Information
(k) Inspections, corrective actions, replacements, and rework
accomplished before the effective date of this AD in accordance with
Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-32-019, dated March 16, 2006, are
considered acceptable for compliance with the corresponding actions
specified in this AD.
(l) The inspections specified in paragraph (h) of this AD are
not required if the actions specified in paragraph (i) of this AD
have already been accomplished; or if Bombardier Repair Engineering
Order 670-32-11-0022, dated October 22, 2005, or Goodrich Service
Concession Request SCR 0056-05, dated October 22, 2005; has been
incorporated.
FAA AD Differences
Note 1: The MCAI specifies to inspect only airplanes having
certain serial numbers that are part of the MCAI applicability.
Because the affected part could be rotated onto any of the airplanes
listed in the applicability, this AD requires that the inspection be
done on all airplanes. We have coordinated this with the Transport
Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA).
Other FAA AD Provisions
(m) 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, notify
your appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a principal
inspector, the manager of the local flight standards district
office/certificate holding district office. The AMOC approval letter
must specifically reference 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: A federal agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a
person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information
displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number
for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public reporting for
this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 5
minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
completing and reviewing the collection of information. All
responses to this collection of information are mandatory. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing
the burden should be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave.
SW, Washington, DC 20591, Attn: Information Collection Clearance
Officer, AES-200.
Special Flight Permits
(n) Special flight permits, as described in Section 21.197 and
Section 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197
and 21.199), are not allowed.
