require repetitive weighing of fire
extinguisher bottles having a certain
part number, and eventual replacement
of those bottles to terminate the
repetitive weighing. This AD was
prompted by our determination that
certain text in the method of compliance
language specified in AD 2013–26–05
incorrectly refers to Airbus, instead of
‘‘Dassault Aviation.’’ We are issuing this
AD to detect and correct a dormant
failure in the fire suppression system,
which could result in the inability to
put out a fire in an engine, auxiliary
power unit (APU), or rear compartment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On August 29, 2014, we issued AD
2013–26–05, Amendment 39–17714 (79
FR 54897, September 15, 2014), which
applied to all Dassault Aviation Model
FAN JET FALCON, FAN JET FALCON
SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes;
Model MYSTERE–FALCON 200
airplanes; and Model MYSTERE–
FALCON 20–C5, 20–D5, 20–E5, and 20–
F5 airplanes. AD 2013–26–05 was
prompted by reports of a manufacturing
defect in the charge indicator on fire
extinguisher bottles. AD 2013–26–05
required repetitive weighing of fire
extinguisher bottles having a certain
part number, and eventual replacement
of those bottles to terminate the
repetitive weighing. We issued AD
2013–26–05 to detect and correct a
dormant failure in the fire suppression
system, which could result in the
inability to put out a fire in an engine,
APU, or rear compartment.
AD 2013–26–05, Amendment 39–
17714 (79 FR 54897, September 15,
2014), corresponds to Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information
(MCAI) European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) AD 2012–0189, dated
September 24, 2012. You may examine
the MCAI on the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA–2015–
0830.
Since we issued AD 2013–26–05,
Amendment 39–17714 (79 FR 54897,
September 15, 2014), we have
determined that there is an error in the
manufacturer’s name in the method of
compliance language in certain text in
the ‘‘Explanation of Change Made to
This AD’’ section and in certain
paragraphs of the regulatory text of AD
2013–26–05. AD 2013–26–05 refers to
Airbus’s EASA Design Organization
Approval (DOA), instead of Dassault
Aviation’s EASA DOA. In order to refer
to the appropriate EASA DOA, this AD
replaces ‘‘Airbus’s’’ with ‘‘Dassault
Aviation’s’’ in paragraphs (h)(2),
(h)(2)(i), (h)(2)(ii), (h)(2)(iii), (h)(2)(iv),
(i), (i)(1), (i)(2), (i)(3), (i)(4), (j)(1), (j)(2),
(j)(3), (j)(4), and (l)(2) of this AD. The
‘‘Explanation of Change Made to This
AD’’ section of AD 2013–26–05 is not
restated in this AD.

FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of This AD
This product has been approved by
the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation
in the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with the State of
Design Authority, we have been notified
of the unsafe condition described in the
MCAI and service information
referenced above. We are issuing this
AD because we evaluated all pertinent
information and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of these same
type designs.
FAA’s Determination of the Effective
Date
We are superseding AD 2013–26–05,
Amendment 39–17714 (79 FR 54897,
September 15, 2014), to correct certain
erroneous manufacturer information in
the ‘‘Explanation of Changes to This
AD’’ section and in certain paragraphs
of the regulatory text. No other changes
have been made to AD 2013–26–05.
Therefore, we determined that notice
and opportunity for prior public
comment are unnecessary.

Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves
requirements affecting flight safety, and
we did not precede it by notice and
opportunity for public comment. We
invite you to send any written relevant
data, views, or arguments about this AD.
Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section.
Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2015–0830;
Directorate Identifier 2015–NM–024–
AD’’ at the beginning of your comments.
We specifically invite comments on the
overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of
this AD. We will consider all comments
received by the closing date and may
amend this AD because of those
comments.
We will post all comments we
receive, without change, to https://
www.regulations.gov, including any
personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact we receive
about this AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 185
airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions required by AD 2013–26–
05, Amendment 39–17714 (79 FR
54897, September 15, 2014), and
retained in this AD take about 4 workhours per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work-hour. Required
parts cost about $6,400 per product.
Based on these figures, the estimated
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:11 Apr 22, 2015
Jkt 235001
cost of the actions that were required by
AD 2013–26–05 is $1,246,900, or $6,740
per product.
The new requirements of this AD add
no additional economic burden.
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
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 that 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);
3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in
Alaska; and
4. Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by
removing airworthiness directive (AD)
2013–26–05, Amendment 39–17714 (79
FR 54897, September 15, 2014), and
adding the following new AD:

determination that certain text in the method
of compliance language specified in AD
2013–26–05, Amendment 39–17714 (79 FR
54897, September 15, 2014), incorrectly
refers to ‘‘Airbus’’ instead of ‘‘Dassault
Aviation.’’ We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct a dormant failure in the fire
suppression system, which could result in
the inability to put out a fire in an engine,
auxiliary power unit (APU), or rear
compartment.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
(g) Retained Definitions, With No Changes
This paragraph restates the requirements of
paragraph (g) of AD 2013–26–05,

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-26-05 for
all Dassault Aviation Model FAN JET FALCON, FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D,
E, F, and G airplanes; Model MYSTERE-FALCON 200 airplanes; and Model
MYSTERE-FALCON 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes. AD 2013-26-05
required repetitive weighing of fire extinguisher bottles having a
certain part number, and eventual replacement of those bottles to
terminate the repetitive weighing. This new AD continues to require
repetitive weighing of fire extinguisher bottles having a certain part
number, and eventual replacement of those bottles to terminate the
repetitive weighing. This AD was prompted by our determination that
certain text in the method of compliance language specified in AD 2013-
26-05 incorrectly refers to Airbus, instead of ``Dassault Aviation.''
We are issuing this AD to detect and correct a dormant failure in the
fire suppression system, which could result in the inability to put out
a fire in an engine, auxiliary power unit (APU), or rear compartment.
DATES: This AD becomes effective May 8, 2015.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of October
20, 2014 (79 FR 54897, dated September 15, 2014).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On August 29, 2014, we issued AD 2013-26-05, Amendment 39-17714 (79
FR 54897, September 15, 2014), which applied to all Dassault Aviation
Model FAN JET FALCON, FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, and G
airplanes; Model MYSTERE-FALCON 200 airplanes; and Model MYSTERE-FALCON
20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-F5 airplanes. AD 2013-26-05 was prompted by
reports of a manufacturing defect in the charge indicator on fire
extinguisher bottles. AD 2013-26-05 required repetitive weighing of
fire extinguisher bottles having a certain part number, and eventual
replacement of those bottles to terminate the repetitive weighing. We
issued AD 2013-26-05 to detect and correct a dormant failure in the
fire suppression system, which could result in the inability to put out
a fire in an engine, APU, or rear compartment.
AD 2013-26-05, Amendment 39-17714 (79 FR 54897, September 15,
2014), corresponds to Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information
(MCAI) European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2012-0189, dated
September 24, 2012. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
0830.
Since we issued AD 2013-26-05, Amendment 39-17714 (79 FR 54897,
September 15, 2014), we have determined that there is an error in the
manufacturer's name in the method of compliance language in certain
text in the ``Explanation of Change Made to This AD'' section and in
certain paragraphs of the regulatory text of AD 2013-26-05. AD 2013-26-
05 refers to Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA), instead
of Dassault Aviation's EASA DOA. In order to refer to the appropriate
EASA DOA, this AD replaces ``Airbus's'' with ``Dassault Aviation's'' in
paragraphs (h)(2), (h)(2)(i), (h)(2)(ii), (h)(2)(iii), (h)(2)(iv), (i),
(i)(1), (i)(2), (i)(3), (i)(4), (j)(1), (j)(2), (j)(3), (j)(4), and
(l)(2) of this AD. The ``Explanation of Change Made to This AD''
section of AD 2013-26-05 is not restated in this AD.
[[Page 22636]]
FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these
same type designs.
FAA's Determination of the Effective Date
We are superseding AD 2013-26-05, Amendment 39-17714 (79 FR 54897,
September 15, 2014), to correct certain erroneous manufacturer
information in the ``Explanation of Changes to This AD'' section and in
certain paragraphs of the regulatory text. No other changes have been
made to AD 2013-26-05. Therefore, we determined that notice and
opportunity for prior public comment are unnecessary.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2015-0830; Directorate
Identifier 2015-NM-024-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
We will post all comments we receive, without change, to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 185 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions required by AD 2013-26-05, Amendment 39-17714 (79 FR
54897, September 15, 2014), and retained in this AD take about 4 work-
hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour.
Required parts cost about $6,400 per product. Based on these figures,
the estimated cost of the actions that were required by AD 2013-26-05
is $1,246,900, or $6,740 per product.
The new requirements of this AD add no additional economic burden.
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 that 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);
3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
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 airworthiness directive (AD)
2013-26-05, Amendment 39-17714 (79 FR 54897, September 15, 2014), and
adding the following new AD:
2015-08-05 Dassault Aviation: Amendment 39-18141. Docket No. FAA-
2015-0830; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-024-AD.
(a) Effective Date
This AD becomes effective May 8, 2015.
(b) Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2013-26-05, Amendment 39-17714 (79 FR 54897,
September 15, 2014).
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model FAN JET FALCON, FAN
JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes; Model MYSTERE-FALCON
200 airplanes; and Model MYSTERE-FALCON 20-C5, 20-D5, 20-E5, and 20-
F5 airplanes, certificated in any category; all serial numbers.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 26, Fire

determination that certain text in the method of compliance language
specified in AD 2013-26-05, Amendment 39-17714 (79 FR 54897,
September 15, 2014), incorrectly refers to ``Airbus'' instead of
``Dassault Aviation.'' We are issuing this AD to detect and correct
a dormant failure in the fire suppression system, which could result
in the inability to put out a fire in an engine, auxiliary power
unit (APU), or rear compartment.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Retained Definitions, With No Changes
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD
2013-26-05, Amendment 39-17714 (79 FR 54897, September 15, 2014),
with no changes. For the purposes of this AD, the following
definitions apply.
(1) An affected fire extinguisher bottle is any fire
extinguisher bottle having a part number included in table 1 to the
introductory text of paragraph (h) of this AD and having a
