Examining the AD Docket
Discussion
We issued a supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD
that would apply to certain Bombardier,
Inc. Model CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet
Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The SNPRM
published in the Federal Register on
October 27, 2015 (80 FR 65666) (‘‘the
SNPRM’’). We preceded the SNPRM
with a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) that published in the Federal
Register on October 16, 2012 (77 FR
63282) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM
proposed to require revising the
maintenance or inspection program to
incorporate revised AWL tasks specified
in certain technical requirements. The
NPRM was prompted by the need for
more stringent inspection requirements
for certain affected components. The
SNPRM proposed to require revising the
maintenance or inspection program to
incorporate certain revised AWL tasks
instead of TRs, and to require repairs of
affected components. We are issuing
this AD to detect and correct fatigue
cracking in the affected components.
Such cracking could result in loss of
structural integrity.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 169 / Wednesday, August 31, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
for Canada, has issued Canadian AD
CF–2012–13, dated April 10, 2012
(referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information,
or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Bombardier, Inc.
Model CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet
Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The MCAI
states:
A revision has been made to Part 2 of the
Canadair Regional Jet Maintenance
Requirements Manual (MRM), Airworthiness
Limitations (AWL), to introduce more
stringent inspection requirements for
continued airworthiness based on reanalysis, in-service data and/or fatigue
testing. Failure to comply with these revised
AWL items could lead to an unsafe
condition.
This [Canadian] AD is issued to ensure that
fatigue cracking of these affected components
[and consequent loss of airplane structural
integrity] is detected and corrected.
Required actions include revising the
maintenance program by incorporating
the revised inspection requirements
specified in certain TRs. You may
examine the MCAI in the AD docket on
the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA–2012–
1075.

Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. The
following presents the comments
received on the SNPRM and the FAA’s
response to each comment.
Request To Withdraw SNPRM
Mr. Aaron Ahern stated that the
SNPRM must be denied and considered
null and void. Mr. Ahern provided no
justification for this statement.
From this statement, we infer that Mr.
Ahern is requesting we withdraw the
SNPRM. We disagree with the request.
It is within our authority to issue ADs
to require actions to address unsafe
conditions that are not otherwise being
addressed (or are not addressed
adequately) by normal maintenance
procedures. We may address such
unsafe conditions by requiring revisions
to maintenance or inspection programs
as a condition under which airplanes
may continue to be operated. We agree
with TCCA’s finding of an unsafe
condition based on analysis, in-service
data, and/or fatigue testing. From the
data gathered, we have determined that
fatigue cracking is likely to exist or
develop in certain components of the
affected airplanes. As a result, we have
determined that the actions required by
this AD are necessary to address the
identified unsafe condition. We have
not changed this final rule in this
regard.

Request To Allow for Other Methods of
Compliance
Request To Reference Revised Service
Information
Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation
(Air Wisconsin) requested that we revise
the proposed AD to allow qualified FAA
representatives, such as Designated
Engineering Representatives (DERs) and
Organization Designation Authorization
(ODA) holders, to approve repair
methods. Air Wisconsin stated that 14
CFR 121.1109 (Supplemental
Inspections) requires a certificate
holder’s maintenance program to
include FAA-approved damage
tolerance inspections and procedures.
Air Wisconsin pointed out that both
DERs and ODAs already perform
damage tolerance evaluations (DTEs).
We disagree. While we might
authorize a design approval holder’s
DERs to determine whether a design or
repair method complies with a specific
requirement of a structural AD, they are
not authorized to make the discretionary
determination of the applicable
requirement. DERs are not authorized to
approve repairs as alternative methods
of compliance (AMOCs) to ADs, except
under specific conditions described in
FAA Orders 8110.103, 8100.15, and
8100.37. In addition, this AD already
includes a provision for TCCA’s Design
Approval Organization (DAO) to
approve repairs. We have not changed
this AD in this regard.
SkyWest Airlines (SkyWest) requested
that we revise the SNPRM to reference
the latest service information. SkyWest
pointed out that Bombardier has issued
Revision 10, dated May 10, 2015, of Part
2, Airworthiness Requirements, of the
Bombardier CL–600–2B19 Maintenance
Requirements Manual (MRM), CSP A–
053.
We agree to reference Bombardier
Revision 10, dated May 10, 2015, of Part
2, Airworthiness Requirements, of the
Bombardier CL–600–2B19 MRM, CSP
A–053, as the appropriate source of
service information for certain
requirements of this AD. We have
revised this final rule accordingly.
Request To Confirm Previously
Approved Repairs
Air Wisconsin requested that we
confirm whether repairs that may not
have been incorporated per paragraphs
(k)(2)(i), (k)(2)(ii), and (k)(2)(iii) of the
proposed AD (in the SNPRM) are still
considered approved for compliance to
this AD under paragraph (k)(2) of the
proposed AD (in the SNPRM).
We agree. As long as the previously
approved repair meets the requirements
of paragraphs (k)(2)(i), (k)(2)(ii), and
(k)(2)(iii) of this AD, it does not matter
when the repair is actually
accomplished. We have clarified
paragraph (k)(2)(i) of this AD to reflect
this. In response to Air Wisconsin’s
comment regarding this issue in the
NPRM, we had included a provision in
paragraph (k)(2)(i) of the proposed AD
(in the SNPRM) to allow for previously
approved repairs in the inspection area
that were approved by the Manager,
New York Aircraft Certification Office,
ANE–170, FAA; or TCCA; or
Bombardier, Inc.’s TCCA DAO, but that
provision included the language ‘‘the
repairs were accomplished.’’ We have
removed that language from paragraph
(k)(2)(i) of this AD.

Request To Remove Requirement That
Repair Approvals Refer to the MCAI
SkyWest requested that we remove
the requirement that repair approvals
must refer to the MCAI. SkyWest stated
that leaving this paragraph in the AD
would require SkyWest to request a
large number of AMOCs for their fleet
as soon as the AD becomes effective.
SkyWest asserts that none of the repair
engineering orders (REOs) and general
repair engineering orders (GREOs)
reference the MCAI, and do not have an
inspection method.
We disagree with the request. We are
aware of instances of repairs in an
affected area that are signed by the
foreign authority’s authorized delegate,
but did not correct the unsafe condition
because they were outdated. A repair
that references the unsafe condition
addressed in the MCAI guarantees an
approved repair. A revised service
document or AMOC that satisfies the
requirements of paragraph (k)(2) of this
AD is acceptable. We have not changed
this AD in this regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comments received, 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 SNPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the SNPRM.
We also determined that these
changes will not increase the economic
burden on any operator or increase the
scope of this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking
Regulatory Findings
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
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.
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.

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440)
airplanes. This AD was prompted by the need for more stringent
inspection requirements for certain affected components. This AD
requires revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate
certain revised airworthiness limitations (AWL) and require repairs of
affected components. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct
fatigue cracking in the affected components; such cracking could result
in loss of structural integrity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440)
airplanes. The SNPRM published in the Federal Register on October 27,
2015 (80 FR 65666) (``the SNPRM''). We preceded the SNPRM with a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that published in the Federal Register on
October 16, 2012 (77 FR 63282) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM proposed to
require revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate
revised AWL tasks specified in certain technical requirements. The NPRM
was prompted by the need for more stringent inspection requirements for
certain affected components. The SNPRM proposed to require revising the
maintenance or inspection program to incorporate certain revised AWL
tasks instead of TRs, and to require repairs of affected components. We
are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking in the
affected components. Such cracking could result in loss of structural
integrity.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority
[[Page 59840]]
for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2012-13, dated April 10, 2012
(referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 &
440) airplanes. The MCAI states:
A revision has been made to Part 2 of the Canadair Regional Jet
Maintenance Requirements Manual (MRM), Airworthiness Limitations
(AWL), to introduce more stringent inspection requirements for
continued airworthiness based on re-analysis, in-service data and/or
fatigue testing. Failure to comply with these revised AWL items
could lead to an unsafe condition.
This [Canadian] AD is issued to ensure that fatigue cracking of
these affected components [and consequent loss of airplane
structural integrity] is detected and corrected.
Required actions include revising the maintenance program by
incorporating the revised inspection requirements specified in certain
TRs. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at
https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2012-1075.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the SNPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.
Request To Withdraw SNPRM
Mr. Aaron Ahern stated that the SNPRM must be denied and considered
null and void. Mr. Ahern provided no justification for this statement.
From this statement, we infer that Mr. Ahern is requesting we
withdraw the SNPRM. We disagree with the request. It is within our
authority to issue ADs to require actions to address unsafe conditions
that are not otherwise being addressed (or are not addressed
adequately) by normal maintenance procedures. We may address such
unsafe conditions by requiring revisions to maintenance or inspection
programs as a condition under which airplanes may continue to be
operated. We agree with TCCA's finding of an unsafe condition based on
analysis, in-service data, and/or fatigue testing. From the data
gathered, we have determined that fatigue cracking is likely to exist
or develop in certain components of the affected airplanes. As a
result, we have determined that the actions required by this AD are
necessary to address the identified unsafe condition. We have not
changed this final rule in this regard.
Request To Allow for Other Methods of Compliance
Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation (Air Wisconsin) requested that
we revise the proposed AD to allow qualified FAA representatives, such
as Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) and Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) holders, to approve repair methods. Air
Wisconsin stated that 14 CFR 121.1109 (Supplemental Inspections)
requires a certificate holder's maintenance program to include FAA-
approved damage tolerance inspections and procedures. Air Wisconsin
pointed out that both DERs and ODAs already perform damage tolerance
evaluations (DTEs).
We disagree. While we might authorize a design approval holder's
DERs to determine whether a design or repair method complies with a
specific requirement of a structural AD, they are not authorized to
make the discretionary determination of the applicable requirement.
DERs are not authorized to approve repairs as alternative methods of
compliance (AMOCs) to ADs, except under specific conditions described
in FAA Orders 8110.103, 8100.15, and 8100.37. In addition, this AD
already includes a provision for TCCA's Design Approval Organization
(DAO) to approve repairs. We have not changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Confirm Previously Approved Repairs
Air Wisconsin requested that we confirm whether repairs that may
not have been incorporated per paragraphs (k)(2)(i), (k)(2)(ii), and
(k)(2)(iii) of the proposed AD (in the SNPRM) are still considered
approved for compliance to this AD under paragraph (k)(2) of the
proposed AD (in the SNPRM).
We agree. As long as the previously approved repair meets the
requirements of paragraphs (k)(2)(i), (k)(2)(ii), and (k)(2)(iii) of
this AD, it does not matter when the repair is actually accomplished.
We have clarified paragraph (k)(2)(i) of this AD to reflect this. In
response to Air Wisconsin's comment regarding this issue in the NPRM,
we had included a provision in paragraph (k)(2)(i) of the proposed AD
(in the SNPRM) to allow for previously approved repairs in the
inspection area that were approved by the Manager, New York Aircraft
Certification Office, ANE-170, FAA; or TCCA; or Bombardier, Inc.'s TCCA
DAO, but that provision included the language ``the repairs were
accomplished.'' We have removed that language from paragraph (k)(2)(i)
of this AD.
Request To Reference Revised Service Information
SkyWest Airlines (SkyWest) requested that we revise the SNPRM to
reference the latest service information. SkyWest pointed out that
Bombardier has issued Revision 10, dated May 10, 2015, of Part 2,
Airworthiness Requirements, of the Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Maintenance
Requirements Manual (MRM), CSP A-053.
We agree to reference Bombardier Revision 10, dated May 10, 2015,
of Part 2, Airworthiness Requirements, of the Bombardier CL-600-2B19
MRM, CSP A-053, as the appropriate source of service information for
certain requirements of this AD. We have revised this final rule
accordingly.
Request To Remove Requirement That Repair Approvals Refer to the MCAI
SkyWest requested that we remove the requirement that repair
approvals must refer to the MCAI. SkyWest stated that leaving this
paragraph in the AD would require SkyWest to request a large number of
AMOCs for their fleet as soon as the AD becomes effective. SkyWest
asserts that none of the repair engineering orders (REOs) and general
repair engineering orders (GREOs) reference the MCAI, and do not have
an inspection method.
We disagree with the request. We are aware of instances of repairs
in an affected area that are signed by the foreign authority's
authorized delegate, but did not correct the unsafe condition because
they were outdated. A repair that references the unsafe condition
addressed in the MCAI guarantees an approved repair. A revised service
document or AMOC that satisfies the requirements of paragraph (k)(2) of
this AD is acceptable. We have not changed this AD in this regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
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
SNPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM.
We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

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.
