Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF–2017–06,
effective February 14, 2017 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
for all Bombardier, Inc., Model CL–600–
2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440),
Model CL–600–2C10 (Regional Jet
Series 700, 701, & 702), Model CL–600–
2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and
Model CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet
Series 900) airplanes. The MCAI states:
[Canadian] AD CF–2013–13 was issued on
28 May 2013 [related to FAA AD 2013–14–
11, Amendment 39–17516 (78 FR 44781, July
25, 2013) (‘‘AD 2013–14–11’’)] to mandate
the introduction of an emergency procedure
to the Aeroplane Flight Manual to address
the uncommanded rudder movement.
Since the original issue of [Canadian] AD
CF–2013–13, Bombardier Aerospace has
developed a wiring modification for the yaw
damper control system to prevent
uncommanded movement of the rudder [and
consequent loss of the ability to control the
airplane].
This [Canadian] AD mandates the wiring
modification for the yaw damper control
system * * *.
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–2017–
0495.
Related Rulemaking
On July 11, 2013, we issued AD 2013–
14–11, applicable to all Bombardier,
Inc., Model CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet
Series 100 & 440), Model CL–600–2C10
(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702),
Model CL–600–2D15 (Regional Jet
Series 705), and Model CL–600–2D24
PO 00000

(Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. That
AD requires revising the airplane flight
manual by incorporating an emergency
procedure for uncommanded yaw
motion. That AD was prompted by
reports of airplanes experiencing
uncommanded rudder movements
while in flight. That AD was issued to
advise the flightcrew of procedures to
address a possible failure of the voltage
regulator inside the yaw damper
actuator that could lead to
uncommanded rudder movement and
consequent loss of the ability to control
the airplane.
Since issuance of AD 2013–14–11, a
wiring modification for the yaw damper
control system has been developed to
prevent uncommanded rudder
movement.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
We reviewed Bombardier Service
Bulletin 601R–22–017, Revision C,
dated May 11, 2016; and Bombardier
Service Bulletin 670BA–22–007,
Revision A, dated February 16, 2016.
This service information describes
procedures for modifying the wiring
harness of the yaw damper control
system. These documents are distinct
since they apply to different airplane
models. 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.
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of This Proposed 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 proposing this
AD because we evaluated all pertinent
information and determined an unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
affects 1,006 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to
comply with this proposed AD:
E:\FR\FM\31MYP1.SGM

ESTIMATED COSTS
Action
Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per product
Wiring modification ........
5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $425
Up to $39 ......................
Up to $464 ....................
According to the manufacturer, some
of the costs of this proposed AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby
reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty
coverage for affected individuals. As a
result, we have included all costs in our
cost estimate.
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 proposed AD
would not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This
proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation:
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.

Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2017-06, effective February 14, 2017 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B19
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440), Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series
700, 701, & 702), Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and
Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. The MCAI states:
[Canadian] AD CF-2013-13 was issued on 28 May 2013 [related to
FAA AD 2013-14-11, Amendment 39-17516 (78 FR 44781, July 25, 2013)
(``AD 2013-14-11'')] to mandate the introduction of an emergency
procedure to the Aeroplane Flight Manual to address the uncommanded
rudder movement.
Since the original issue of [Canadian] AD CF-2013-13, Bombardier
Aerospace has developed a wiring modification for the yaw damper
control system to prevent uncommanded movement of the rudder [and
consequent loss of the ability to control the airplane].
This [Canadian] AD mandates the wiring modification for the yaw
damper control system * * *.
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-2017-
0495.
Related Rulemaking
On July 11, 2013, we issued AD 2013-14-11, applicable to all
Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440),
Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702), Model CL-600-
2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet
Series 900) airplanes. That AD requires revising the airplane flight
manual by incorporating an emergency procedure for uncommanded yaw
motion. That AD was prompted by reports of airplanes experiencing
uncommanded rudder movements while in flight. That AD was issued to
advise the flightcrew of procedures to address a possible failure of
the voltage regulator inside the yaw damper actuator that could lead to
uncommanded rudder movement and consequent loss of the ability to
control the airplane.
Since issuance of AD 2013-14-11, a wiring modification for the yaw
damper control system has been developed to prevent uncommanded rudder
movement.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-22-017, Revision C,
dated May 11, 2016; and Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-22-007,
Revision A, dated February 16, 2016. This service information describes
procedures for modifying the wiring harness of the yaw damper control
system. These documents are distinct since they apply to different
airplane models. 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.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed 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 proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,006 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:
[[Page 24899]]
Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wiring modification............. 5 work-hours x $85 Up to $39......... Up to $464........ Up to $466,784.
per hour = $425.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.
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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
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.
