SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: Federal Aviation Administration Discussion 14 CFR Part 39 We proposed to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) with a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for a new AD for all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 series airplanes and Model Avro 146–RJ series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July 24, 2013 (78 FR 44469). The NPRM would have superseded AD 2011–24–06, Amendment 39–16870 (76 FR 73477, November 29, 2011). The NPRM would have continued to require existing limitations and would have required revising the maintenance program to incorporate the following limitations: • Subject 05–10–15, ‘‘Aircraft Equipment Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of Chapter 05, ‘‘Time Limits/ Maintenance Checks,’’ of BAe 146 Series/AVRO 146–RJ Series Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 105, dated July 15, 2011. • Subject 05–20–02, ‘‘Airframe Scheduled Maintenance—Landing/ Calendar Life Extended,’’ of Chapter 05, ‘‘Time Limits/Maintenance Checks,’’ of BAe 146 Series/AVRO 146–RJ Series [Docket No. FAA–2013–0627; Directorate Identifier 2012–NM–021–AD] RIN 2120–AA64 Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Airplanes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal. AGENCY: The FAA withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD), which would have applied to all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 series airplanes and Model Avro 146–RJ series airplanes. The NPRM would have superseded AD 2011–24–06 and required revising the maintenance program to incorporate new airworthiness limitations for reduced safe life limits on certain nose landing gear fittings. Since the NPRM was issued, we have received new data indicating that the airworthiness Lhorne on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 12:57 Aug 27, 2015 Jkt 235001 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 52211 Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 105, dated July 15, 2011. • Subject 05–20–05, ‘‘Airframe Scheduled Maintenance—Life Extension Programme Landings Life Extended,’’ of Chapter 05, ‘‘Time Limits/Maintenance Checks,’’ of BAe 146 Series/AVRO 146–RJ Series Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 105, dated July 15, 2011. The NPRM was prompted by a determination that reduced safe life limits on certain nose landing gear NLG fittings were necessary. Analysis of these fittings showed the presence of forging indications in the flash line, which could reduce the life limits of these fittings. The proposed actions were intended to prevent fatigue cracking of certain structural elements, which could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane. Actions Since NPRM (78 FR 44469, July 24, 2013) Was Issued Since we issued the NPRM (78 FR 44469, July 24, 2014), BAE Systems (Operations) Limited has revised Chapter 05, ‘‘Time Limits/Maintenance Checks,’’ of the BAe 146 Series/AVRO 146–RJ Series Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM). Therefore, the NPRM proposal to incorporate new airworthiness limitations with reduced safe life limits on certain nose landing gear fittings contained in a previous issue of the AMM are no longer relevant. FAA’s Conclusions Upon further consideration, we have determined that the changes to the AMM proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 44469, July 24, 2013) are no longer relevant and there is no benefit to proceeding with the publication of a final rule. Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn. The FAA is considering issuing a different rulemaking action to require implementation of the current revision of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Chapter 05, ‘‘Time Limits/ Maintenance Checks,’’ of the BAe 146 Series/AVRO 146–RJ Series AMM. Withdrawal of the NPRM (78 FR 44469, July 24, 2013) does not preclude the FAA from issuing another related action or commit the FAA to any course of action in the future. Regulatory Impact Since this action only withdraws an NPRM (78 FR 44469, July 24, 2013), it is neither a proposed nor a final rule and therefore is not covered under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979).
