SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model
DHC–8–102, –103, –106, –201, –202,
–301, –311, and –315 airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal
Register on August 18, 2014 (79 FR
48703).
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF–2007–32R2,
dated June 27, 2013 (referred to after
this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
on certain Bombardier, Inc. Model
DHC–8–102, –103, –106, –201, –202,
–301, –311, and –315 airplanes. The
MCAI states:
Bombardier Aerospace has completed a
system safety review of the aeroplanes fuel
system against fuel tank safety standards
* * *. The identified non-compliances were
then assessed * * *, to determine if
mandatory corrective action is required.
The assessment showed that supplemental
maintenance tasks are required to prevent
potential ignition sources within the fuel
system, which could result in a fuel tank
explosion. Revisions have been made to Part
2 ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations List’’ of the
DHC–8 Maintenance Program Manuals to
introduce the required maintenance tasks.

We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM (79
FR 48703, August 18, 2014) or on the
determination of the cost to the public.
Changes to This Final Rule
Since the NPRM (79 FR 48703,
August 18, 2014) was published, the
information in Bombardier Temporary
Revision (TR) AWL–110, dated August
31, 2007, to Part 2, ‘‘Airworthiness
Limitations List,’’ of the Bombardier
Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program
Manual, Product Support Manual PSM
1–8–7, has been merged in Subject 5–
FSL of Section 5, ‘‘Fuel System
Limitations,’’ of the ‘‘Airworthiness
Limitations List,’’ of the Bombardier
Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program
Manual, PSM 1–8–7, Revision 18, dated
February 23, 2012. We have removed
paragraph (g)(1) of the proposed AD that
referred to Bombardier TR AWL–110,
dated August 31, 2007, to Part 2,
‘‘Airworthiness Limitations List,’’ of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100
Maintenance Program Manual, Product
Support Manual PSM 1–8–7, and we
have redesignated paragraph (g)(2) of
the proposed AD as paragraph (g)(1) of
this AD. We have also added new
paragraph (g)(5) of this AD to refer to
Subject 5–FSL of Section 5, ‘‘Fuel
System Limitations,’’ of the
‘‘Airworthiness Limitations List,’’ of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1–
8–7, Revision 18, dated February 23,
2012.
We have included a new paragraph (j)
in this AD to provide credit for
accomplishing the revision to the
maintenance or inspection program, as

31, 2007, to Part 2, ‘‘Airworthiness
Limitations List,’’ of the Bombardier
Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program
Manual, Product Support Manual PSM
1–8–7. The subsequent paragraphs have
been redesignated accordingly.
Since the NPRM (79 FR 48703,
August 18, 2014) was published, we
also received Bombardier TR AWL 2–
47, dated February 16, 2011, to Part 2,
‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1–
82–7, which supersedes Bombardier TR
AWL 2–43, dated August 31, 2007, to
Part 2, ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of
the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1–
82–7. We have added paragraph (g)(2) of
this AD to refer to Bombardier TR AWL
2–47, dated February 16, 2011, to Part
2, ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1–
82–7, as an appropriate source of service
information to accomplish the revision
required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
Furthermore, we also received
Bombardier TR AWL 3–117, dated
February 16, 2011, to Part 2,
‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 300
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1–
83–7, which supersedes Bombardier TR
AWL 3–109, dated August 31, 2007, to
Part 2, ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 300
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1–
83–7. We have added paragraph (g)(4) of
this AD to refer to Bombardier TR AWL
3–117, dated February 16, 2011, to Part
2, ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 300
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1–
83–7, as an appropriate source of service
information to accomplish the revision
required by paragraph (g) of this AD.

Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this AD
with the changes described previously
and minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR
48703, August 18, 2014) for correcting
the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 48703,
August 18, 2014).

The service information describes
revising the maintenance or inspection
program to incorporate new limitations
for fuel tank systems. This service
information is reasonably available
because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course
of business or by the means identified
in the ADDRESSES section of this AD.
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.
Examining the AD Docket
We estimate that this AD affects 122
airplanes of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take
about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of
this AD. The average labor rate is $85
per work-hour. Based on these figures,
we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $10,370, or $85 per
product.
You may examine the AD docket on
the Internet at https://

Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this
AD, the regulatory evaluation, any
comments received, and other
information. The street address for the

Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, -301, -311,
and -315 airplanes. This AD was prompted by fuel system reviews
conducted by the manufacturer. This AD requires revising the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new
limitations for fuel tank systems. We are issuing this AD to prevent
potential ignition sources within the fuel system, which could result
in a fuel tank explosion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc.
Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, -301, -311, and -315
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 18,
2014 (79 FR 48703).
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2007-32R2, dated June 27, 2013 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition on certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-102, -103, -
106, -201, -202, -301, -311, and -315 airplanes. The MCAI states:
Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the
aeroplanes fuel system against fuel tank safety standards * * *. The
identified non-compliances were then assessed * * *, to determine if
mandatory corrective action is required.
The assessment showed that supplemental maintenance tasks are
required to prevent potential ignition sources within the fuel
system, which could result in a fuel tank explosion. Revisions have
been made to Part 2 ``Airworthiness Limitations List'' of the DHC-8
Maintenance Program Manuals to introduce the required maintenance
tasks.
Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD was issued to clarify the
phase-in schedule for tasks FSL-02 and FSL-17.
Revision 2 of this [Canadian] AD is issued to correct the
effective date of [Canadian] AD CF-2013-07 [https://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:OLDASSET::svPath=/ADFiles/over/dhc-8/,svFileName=CF-2013-07.pdf] referenced in Part III of the Corrective
Actions and to clarify the revised phase-in schedules in Part II and
Part III of the Corrective Actions.
You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0570-0002.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18,
2014) or on the determination of the cost to the public.
Changes to This Final Rule
Since the NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18, 2014) was published, the
information in Bombardier Temporary Revision (TR) AWL-110, dated August
31, 2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations List,'' of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual, Product
Support Manual PSM 1-8-7, has been merged in Subject 5-FSL of Section
5, ``Fuel System Limitations,'' of the ``Airworthiness Limitations
List,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual,
PSM 1-8-7, Revision 18, dated February 23, 2012. We have removed
paragraph (g)(1) of the proposed AD that referred to Bombardier TR AWL-
110, dated August 31, 2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations
List,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual,
Product Support Manual PSM 1-8-7, and we have redesignated paragraph
(g)(2) of the proposed AD as paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. We have also
added new paragraph (g)(5) of this AD to refer to Subject 5-FSL of
Section 5, ``Fuel System Limitations,'' of the ``Airworthiness
Limitations List,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance
Program Manual, PSM 1-8-7, Revision 18, dated February 23, 2012.
We have included a new paragraph (j) in this AD to provide credit
for accomplishing the revision to the maintenance or inspection
program, as
[[Page 42374]]
applicable, to incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems before
the effective date of this AD using Bombardier TR AWL-110, dated August
31, 2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations List,'' of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual, Product
Support Manual PSM 1-8-7. The subsequent paragraphs have been
redesignated accordingly.
Since the NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18, 2014) was published, we
also received Bombardier TR AWL 2-47, dated February 16, 2011, to Part
2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-82-7, which supersedes Bombardier TR
AWL 2-43, dated August 31, 2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness
Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200 Maintenance Program
Manual, PSM 1-82-7. We have added paragraph (g)(2) of this AD to refer
to Bombardier TR AWL 2-47, dated February 16, 2011, to Part 2,
``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-82-7, as an appropriate source of
service information to accomplish the revision required by paragraph
(g) of this AD.
Furthermore, we also received Bombardier TR AWL 3-117, dated
February 16, 2011, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 300 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7,
which supersedes Bombardier TR AWL 3-109, dated August 31, 2007, to
Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of Bombardier Dash 8 Series 300
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7. We have added paragraph (g)(4)
of this AD to refer to Bombardier TR AWL 3-117, dated February 16,
2011, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash
8 Series 300 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7, as an appropriate
source of service information to accomplish the revision required by
paragraph (g) of this AD.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described
previously and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these
minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18, 2014) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18, 2014).
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
Bombardier, Inc. has issued the following service information:
Bombardier Temporary Revision AWL 2-43, dated August 31,
2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash
8 Series 200 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-82-7.
Bombardier Temporary Revision AWL 2-47, dated February 16,
2011, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash
8 Series 200 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-82-7.
Bombardier Temporary Revision AWL 3-109, dated August 31,
2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash
8 Series 300 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7.
Bombardier Temporary Revision AWL 3-117, dated February
16, 2011, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier
Dash 8 Series 300 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7.
Subject 5-FSL of Section 5, ``Fuel System Limitations,''
of the ``Airworthiness Limitations List,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8
Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-8-7, Revision 18, dated
February 23, 2012.
The service information describes revising the maintenance or
inspection program to incorporate new limitations for fuel tank
systems. This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section of this
AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 122 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD on U.S. operators to be $10,370, 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 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.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=FAA-2014-0570; or in person at the
Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through
