SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Background Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF– 2020–52, dated November 30, 2020 (also referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–100–1A10 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–2021– 0658. The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–100–1A10 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2021 (86 FR 44314). The NPRM was prompted by a discovery that a lockwire may not have been installed on the side stay actuator pin nut of the MLG. The NPRM proposed to require inspecting the left-hand and right-hand MLG side stay actuator assembly pin nut for the presence of a lockwire, and installing a lockwire if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address a possible missing lockwire, which could result in loss of the nut, and if undetected, lead to the collapse of the affected MLG. See the MCAI for additional background information. Comments The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and • Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 100–32–36, dated June 25, 2020; and Service Bulletin 350–32–012, dated June 25, 2020. This service information describes procedures for inspecting the left-hand and right-hand MLG side stay actuator assembly pin nut for presence of a lockwire and installing a lockwire.

Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations COTP Captain of the Port DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking PGM Portland Gas Manufacturing RNA Regulated Navigation Area § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History On October 19, 2020, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled ‘‘Regulated Navigation Area; NW Natural PGM Site, Willamette River, Portland, OR’’ (85 FR VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:25 Jan 10, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 66292). There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to this regulated navigation area (RNA). During the comment period that ended November 18, 2020, we received 1 comment. III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Coast Guard is establishing a RNA to protect the engineered sediment cap located at the NW Natural PGM Site on the Willamette River in Portland, OR. This sediment cap is part of an Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) required remedial action. The engineered sediment cap is designed to be compatible with normal vessel operations, but could be damaged by other maritime activities including anchoring, dragging, dredging, grounding of vessels, deployment of barge spuds, etc. Such damage could disrupt the function or impact the effectiveness of the cap to contain the underlying contaminated sediment and soil in these areas. The purpose of this rulemaking is to prevent disruption of the sediment cap which may result in hazardous conditions and harm to the marine environment. As such, this RNA is necessary to help ensure the sediment cap is protected and will do so by prohibiting maritime activities that could disturb or damage it. IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule As noted above, we received 1 comment on our NPRM published October 19, 2020. The commenter expressed support in establishing this RNA to protect the cap on sediment in the Willamette River, noting that if the sediment were to increase in the Willimette River there is potential for flooding and other negative effects on users of the waterway. Accordingly, there are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM. This rule establishes a RNA adjacent to the NW Natural PGM Site on the Willamette River in Portland, OR encompassing all waters above the sediment cap. The RNA prohibits activities which could disrupt or damage the sendiment cap on the river bed such as anchoring, dragging, dredging, trawling, or other related activities. The rule also specifies that operators who wish to engage in dredging, spudding, and vessel anchoring within the RNA must consult with Oregon DEQ and obtain prior E:\FR\FM\11JAR1.SGM 11JAR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation 
authority for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF-2020-52, dated November 30, 
2020 (also referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing 
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition 
for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 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-2021-
0658.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, 
Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal 
Register on August 12, 2021 (86 FR 44314). The NPRM was prompted by a 
discovery that a lockwire may not have been installed on the side stay 
actuator pin nut of the MLG. The NPRM proposed to require inspecting 
the left-hand and right-hand MLG side stay actuator assembly pin nut 
for the presence of a lockwire, and installing a lockwire if necessary. 
The FAA is issuing this AD to address a possible missing lockwire, 
which could result in loss of the nut, and if undetected, lead to the 
collapse of the affected MLG. See the MCAI for additional background 
information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in 
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or 
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety 
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed, 
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these 
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 100-32-36, dated June 25, 
2020; and Service Bulletin 350-32-012, dated June 25, 2020. This 
service information describes procedures for inspecting the left-hand 
and right-hand MLG side stay actuator assembly pin nut for presence of 
a lockwire and installing a lockwire. These documents

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

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or

unless already done.

    Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD: Inspect

assembly pin nuts for presence of a lockwire, in accordance with 
paragraph 2.B of the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable 
service information specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (2) of this 
AD. If the lockwire is missing: Before further flight, install a 
lockwire in accordance with paragraph 2.C of the Accomplishment 
Instructions of the applicable service information specified in
