Discussion
The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness
Directive 2012–0127R1, dated
September 10, 2012 (referred to after
this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
for all BAE Systems (Operations)
Limited Model ATP airplanes. The
MCAI states:
A fire handle on a BAe 146 aeroplane was
operated on the ground as a precautionary
measure after the throttle cable on the
affected engine failed, due to corrosion. The
extinguisher failed to discharge.
Investigation results revealed that excess
solder, which had been deposited during
overhaul on the frangible plug of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:47 Aug 03, 2015
Jkt 235001
extinguisher, prevented the release of the
extinguishant. Prompted by this report,
Kidde Graviner, the fire extinguisher
manufacturer, identified four further
extinguishers of similar design that had the
same issue. The ATP aeroplane extinguisher
is one of those of a similar design.
This condition, if not detected and
corrected, could result in the failure of a fire
bottle to discharge, which reduces the ability
of the fire protection system to extinguish
fires in the engine or Auxiliary Power Unit
(APU) fire zones, possibly resulting in
damage to the aeroplane and injury to the
occupants.
For the reasons described above, EASA
issued AD 2012–0127 [dated July 10, 2012,
https://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2012-0127R1] to
require a one-time inspection of the affected
Part Number (P/N) 57183 engine and APU
fire extinguishers. In addition, this [EASA]
AD prohibited installation of a fire
extinguisher, unless it has passed the
inspection as required by AD 2012–0127.
Revision 1 of this [EASA] AD is issued to
clarify that new extinguishers P/N 57183 may
be fitted with no additional inspection
required by this [EASA] AD.

Internet at https://www.regulations.gov

Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
and Kidde Graviner have issued the
following service information.
• BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
Service Bulletin ATP–26–016, dated
October 4, 2011. The service
information describes procedures for an
inspection for solder deposited on the
frangible plug of certain engine and
APU fire extinguishers.
• Kidde Graviner Service Bulletin 26–
080, Revision 1, dated July 27, 2011.
The service information describes
procedures for an inspection for solder
deposited on the frangible plug of
certain engine and APU fire
extinguishers.
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.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
information and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design.
FAA’s Determination of the Effective
Date
Since there are currently no domestic
operators of this product, notice and
opportunity for public comment before
issuing this AD 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–2015–3139;
Directorate Identifier 2012–NM–139–
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 based on 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
Currently, there are no affected
airplanes on the U.S. Register. However,
if an affected airplane is imported and
placed on the U.S. Register in the future,
the required actions will take about 1
work-hour, at an average labor rate of
$85 per work-hour. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD
to be $85 per airplane.
In addition, we estimate that any
necessary follow-on actions will take
about 1 work-hour and require parts
costing $7,042, for a cost of $7,127 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
E:\FR\FM\04AUR1.SGM
04AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 149 / Tuesday, August 4, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2012-0127R1, dated September 10, 2012 (referred
to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited Model ATP airplanes. The MCAI states:
A fire handle on a BAe 146 aeroplane was operated on the ground
as a precautionary measure after the throttle cable on the affected
engine failed, due to corrosion. The extinguisher failed to
discharge.
Investigation results revealed that excess solder, which had
been deposited during overhaul on the frangible plug of the
extinguisher, prevented the release of the extinguishant. Prompted
by this report, Kidde Graviner, the fire extinguisher manufacturer,
identified four further extinguishers of similar design that had the
same issue. The ATP aeroplane extinguisher is one of those of a
similar design.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could result in
the failure of a fire bottle to discharge, which reduces the ability
of the fire protection system to extinguish fires in the engine or
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) fire zones, possibly resulting in damage
to the aeroplane and injury to the occupants.
For the reasons described above, EASA issued AD 2012-0127 [dated
July 10, 2012, https://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2012-0127R1] to require a
one-time inspection of the affected Part Number (P/N) 57183 engine
and APU fire extinguishers. In addition, this [EASA] AD prohibited
installation of a fire extinguisher, unless it has passed the
inspection as required by AD 2012-0127.
Revision 1 of this [EASA] AD is issued to clarify that new
extinguishers P/N 57183 may be fitted with no additional inspection
required by this [EASA] AD.
You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
3139.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited and Kidde Graviner have issued the
following service information.
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Service Bulletin ATP-26-
016, dated October 4, 2011. The service information describes
procedures for an inspection for solder deposited on the frangible plug
of certain engine and APU fire extinguishers.
Kidde Graviner Service Bulletin 26-080, Revision 1, dated
July 27, 2011. The service information describes procedures for an
inspection for solder deposited on the frangible plug of certain engine
and APU fire extinguishers.
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.
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 the same
type design.
FAA's Determination of the Effective Date
Since there are currently no domestic operators of this product,
notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD 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-2015-3139; Directorate
Identifier 2012-NM-139-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 based on
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
Currently, there are no affected airplanes on the U.S. Register.
However, if an affected airplane is imported and placed on the U.S.
Register in the future, the required actions will take about 1 work-
hour, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to be $85 per airplane.
In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 1 work-hour and require parts costing $7,042, for a cost of
$7,127 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
[[Page 46189]]
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.
