Discussion Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF–2018–36, dated December 27, 2018 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL–600–1A11 (600), CL–600– 2A12 (601), and CL–600–2B16 (601–3A and 601–3R Variants) airplanes. The MCAI states: Bombardier has issued the following service information, which provides a procedure for ‘‘Unreliable Airspeed’’ in the Emergency Procedures section of the applicable AFM. • Canadair Challenger CL–600–1A11 AFM, Product Publication (PP) 600, Revision A111, dated August 31, 2018. • Canadair Challenger CL–600–1A11 (Winglets) AFM, Product Support Publication (PSP) 600–1, Revision 103, dated August 31, 2018. • Canadair Challenger CL–600–2A12 AFM, PSP 601–1A, Revision 120, dated August 31, 2018. • Canadair Challenger CL–600–2A12 AFM, PSP 601–1A–1, Revision 79, dated August 31, 2018. • Canadair Challenger CL–600–2A12 AFM, PSP 601–1B, Revision 83, dated August 31, 2018. • Canadair Challenger CL–600–2A12 AFM, PSP 601–1B–1, Revision 81, dated August 31, 2018. • Canadair Challenger CL–600–2B16 AFM, PSP 601A–1, Revision 103, dated August 31, 2018. • Canadair Challenger CL–600–2B16 AFM, PSP 601A–1–1, Revision 92, dated August 31, 2018. 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–2019– 0582. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 A number of in-service incidents have been reported on CL–600–2C10 aeroplanes regarding the loss of all air data system information provided to the crew. The air data system information was recovered as the aeroplanes descended to lower altitudes. An investigation determined that the root cause in both events was high altitude icing (ice crystal contamination). If not recognized and addressed, this condition may affect continued safe flight and landing. Due to similarities in the air data systems, similar events could also occur on Bombardier Inc. CL–600–1A11, CL–600– 2A12 and CL–600–2B16 aeroplanes. This [Canadian] AD mandates the incorporation of Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) procedures that will allow the crew to 39779 These documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane models in different configurations. 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 This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to a bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the agency evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design. Proposed Requirements of This NPRM This proposed AD would require revising the existing AFM with procedures for ‘‘Unreliable Airspeed’’ in the Emergency Procedures section of the applicable AFM as described previously. Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 206 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed AD: ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 .............................................................................................. $0 $85 $17,510 jspears on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS 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. The FAA is 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:36 Aug 09, 2019 Jkt 247001 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. This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Regulatory Findings The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities E:\FR\FM\12AUP1.SGM 12AUP1 39780 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 155 / Monday, August 12, 2019 / Proposed Rules under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600), CL-
600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A and 601-3R Variants) airplanes. 
The MCAI states:

    A number of in-service incidents have been reported on CL-600-
2C10 aeroplanes regarding the loss of all air data system 
information provided to the crew. The air data system information 
was recovered as the aeroplanes descended to lower altitudes. An 
investigation determined that the root cause in both events was high 
altitude icing (ice crystal contamination). If not recognized and 
addressed, this condition may affect continued safe flight and 
landing.
    Due to similarities in the air data systems, similar events 
could also occur on Bombardier Inc. CL-600-1A11, CL-600-2A12 and CL-
600-2B16 aeroplanes.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the incorporation of Airplane Flight 
Manual (AFM) procedures that will allow the crew to stabilize the 
aeroplane's airspeed and attitude for continued safe flight and 
landing.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to a bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA 
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and 
service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD 
because the agency evaluated all the relevant information and 
determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist 
or develop on other products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require revising the existing AFM with 
procedures for ``Unreliable Airspeed'' in the Emergency Procedures 
section of the applicable AFM as described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 206 airplanes of 
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with 
this proposed 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.
    The FAA is 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.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated 
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as 
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, 
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and 
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the 
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable 
to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the 
Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or 
negative, on a substantial number of small entities
