DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Part 39
Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ
Aviation ULC (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.)
Airplanes
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model
CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 &
440) airplanes. This proposed AD was
prompted by evidence that a revised
structural life limit of some components
of the nose landing gear (NLG) and/or
main landing gear (MLG) was not
implemented during repair. This
proposed AD would require verifying
that the affected components are
installed on the airplane, revising the
structural life limits in the structural
deviation inspection requirements
(SDIR) airplane document, and
replacing affected components if
necessary. The FAA is proposing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments
on this proposed AD by November 19,
2020.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,
using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to
https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the

Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian AD
CF–2020–09, dated April 7, 2020
(referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information,
or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain MHI RJ Aviation
ULC Model CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet
Series 100 & 440) airplanes. 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–2020–
0691.
This proposed AD was prompted by
evidence that some components of the
NLG and/or MLG were repaired using
Bombardier Repair Engineering Orders
(REOs) that resulted in a specific
airworthiness limitation (SAL). In
certain cases, the related SDIRs were not
attached to the REO when the parts
were repaired and provided to the
operator. Consequently, the SDIR was
not incorporated into the SDIR airplane
document and the revised life limit of
the repaired NLG and/or MLG
components, as indicated in the SDIR,
was not implemented. Those parts,
repaired by REO that resulted in an
SDIR, have a structural life limit that is
lower than the life limit published in
the Maintenance Requirements Manual
(MRM). The FAA is proposing this AD
to address structural life limits that are
lower than the life limit published in
the MRM, Part 2. This condition, if not
corrected, could lead to the collapse of
the affected NLG and/or MLG, possibly
resulting in airplane damage and injury
to the occupants. See the MCAI for
additional background information.

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 our
bilateral agreement with the State of
Design Authority, the FAA has been
notified of the unsafe condition
described in the MCAI and service
E:\FR\FM\05OCP1.SGM
05OCP1
62628
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 193 / Monday, October 5, 2020 / Proposed Rules
information referenced above. The FAA
is proposing this AD because the FAA
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
accomplishing the actions specified in
the service information described
previously, except as discussed under
‘‘Differences Between this Proposed AD
and the MCAI or Service Information.’’
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this proposed
AD affects 456 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
Up to 143 work-hours × $85 per
hour = Up to $12,155.
Up to $103,114 .............................
Up to $115,269 .............................
Authority for This Rulemaking
The Proposed Amendment
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.
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part
39 as follows:
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
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
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):
■
MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.):
Docket No. FAA–2020–0691; Product
Identifier 2020–NM–064–AD.
(a) Comments Due Date
The FAA must receive comments by
November 19, 2020.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to MHI RJ Aviation ULC
(type certificate previously held by
Bombardier, Inc.) Model CL–600–2B19
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes,
certificated in any category, serial numbers
7003 through 8999 inclusive.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of
America Code 32, Landing gear.
(e) Reason
This AD was prompted by evidence that a
revised structural life limit of some
components of the nose landing gear (NLG)
and/or main landing gear (MLG) was not
implemented during repair. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address structural life
limits that are lower than the life limits
published in the Maintenance Requirements
Manual (MRM), Part 2. This condition, if not
corrected, could lead to the collapse of the
affected NLG and/or MLG, possibly resulting
in airplane damage and injury to the
occupants.

(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
(g) Verification of Airplane or Technical
Records
Within 6 months from the effective date of
this AD: Verify the airplane or technical
records to determine if an NLG or MLG
component listed in Table 1 or Table 2 of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R–32–112,
dated November 11, 2019, is installed on the
airplane. If this verification determines that
an affected component listed in Table 1 or
Table 2 of Bombardier Service Bulletin
601R–32–112, dated November 11, 2019, is
installed on the airplane, perform the actions
specified in paragraph (h) or (i) of this AD,
as applicable.

the SDIR Airplane Document
If the total flight cycles of the component
is less than the revised SDIR life limit
specified in the applicable REO identified in
paragraphs (h)(1) through (58) of this AD
minus 2,000 flight cycles: Within 12 months
after completing the actions specified in
paragraph (g) of this AD, incorporate the
revised life limit of the affected component
into the existing SDIR airplane document as
specified in the applicable REO identified in
paragraphs (h)(1) through (58) of this AD.

Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series
100 & 440) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by evidence that a
revised structural life limit of some components of the nose landing
gear (NLG) and/or main landing gear (MLG) was not implemented during
repair. This proposed AD would require verifying that the affected
components are installed on the airplane, revising the structural life
limits in the structural deviation inspection requirements (SDIR)
airplane document, and replacing affected components if necessary. The
FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by November
19, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.
Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2020-09, dated April 7,
2020 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100
& 440) airplanes. 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-2020-0691.
This proposed AD was prompted by evidence that some components of
the NLG and/or MLG were repaired using Bombardier Repair Engineering
Orders (REOs) that resulted in a specific airworthiness limitation
(SAL). In certain cases, the related SDIRs were not attached to the REO
when the parts were repaired and provided to the operator.
Consequently, the SDIR was not incorporated into the SDIR airplane
document and the revised life limit of the repaired NLG and/or MLG
components, as indicated in the SDIR, was not implemented. Those parts,
repaired by REO that resulted in an SDIR, have a structural life limit
that is lower than the life limit published in the Maintenance
Requirements Manual (MRM). The FAA is proposing this AD to address
structural life limits that are lower than the life limit published in
the MRM, Part 2. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to the
collapse of the affected NLG and/or MLG, possibly resulting in airplane
damage and injury to the occupants. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

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 our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service
[[Page 62628]]
information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the
FAA 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 accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information.''
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 456 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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 143 work-hours x $85 per hour = Up to $103,114......... Up to $115,269......... Up to $52,562,664.
Up to $12,155.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 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.
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):
MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier,
Inc.): Docket No. FAA-2020-0691; Product Identifier 2020-NM-064-AD.
(a) Comments Due Date
The FAA must receive comments by November 19, 2020.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to MHI RJ Aviation ULC (type certificate
previously held by Bombardier, Inc.) Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet
Series 100 & 440) airplanes, certificated in any category, serial
numbers 7003 through 8999 inclusive.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32, Landing
gear.
(e) Reason
This AD was prompted by evidence that a revised structural life
limit of some components of the nose landing gear (NLG) and/or main
landing gear (MLG) was not implemented during repair. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address structural life limits that are lower
than the life limits published in the Maintenance Requirements
Manual (MRM), Part 2. This condition, if not corrected, could lead
to the collapse of the affected NLG and/or MLG, possibly resulting
in airplane damage and injury to the occupants.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Verification of Airplane or Technical Records
Within 6 months from the effective date of this AD: Verify the
airplane or technical records to determine if an NLG or MLG
component listed in Table 1 or Table 2 of Bombardier Service
Bulletin 601R-32-112, dated November 11, 2019, is installed on the
airplane. If this verification determines that an affected component
listed in Table 1 or Table 2 of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-32-
112, dated November 11, 2019, is installed on the airplane, perform
the actions specified in paragraph (h) or (i) of this AD, as
applicable.
(h) Incorporation of the SDIR Life Limit Into the SDIR Airplane
Document
If the total flight cycles of the component is less than the
revised SDIR life limit specified in the applicable REO identified
in paragraphs (h)(1) through (58) of this AD minus 2,000 flight
cycles: Within 12 months after completing the actions specified in
paragraph (g) of this AD, incorporate the revised life limit of the
affected component into the existing SDIR airplane document as
specified in the applicable REO identified in paragraphs (h)(1)
through (58) of this AD.
