ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The FAA is superseding
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017–22–
06, which applied to certain
Bombardier, Inc., Model CL–600–2B16
(601–3A, 601–3R, and 604 Variants)
airplanes. AD 2017–22–06 required
repetitive inspections for fuel leakage at
the engine and auxiliary power unit
(APU) fuel pumps, and related
investigative and corrective actions if
necessary. This AD retains the
requirements of AD 2017–22–06, and
requires an inspection of the APU,
repair if necessary, and modification of
the engine electrical fuel pump (EFP)
installation. This AD also adds airplanes
to the applicability. This AD was
prompted by reports of fuel leaks from
the electrical connectors and conduits of
the engine and APU EFP cartridge/
canister, and the development of
additional actions to address the root
cause of the fuel leaks. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective February 25,
2022.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in this AD
as of February 25, 2022.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF–
2016–32R4, dated October 13, 2020
(TCCA AD CF–2016–32R4); and TCCA
AD CF–2020–38, dated October 13, 2020
(TCCA AD CF–2020–38); (also referred
to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the
MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL–
600–2B16 (601–3A, 601–3R, and 604
Variants) 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–2021–0725.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2017–22–06,
Amendment 39–19086 (82 FR 49498,
October 26, 2017) (AD 2017–22–06). AD
2017–22–06 applied to certain
Bombardier, Inc., Model CL–600–2B16
(601–3A, 601–3R, and 604 Variants)
airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on September 8, 2021
(86 FR 50291). The NPRM was
E:\FR\FM\21JAR1.SGM
21JAR1
3185
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
prompted by reports of fuel leaks from
the electrical connectors and conduits of
the engine APU EFP cartridge/canister,
and the development of additional
actions to address the root cause of the
fuel leaks. The NPRM proposed to retain
the requirements of AD 2017–22–06,
and proposed to require an inspection of
the APU, repair if necessary, and
modification of the engine EFP
installation. The NPRM also proposed to
add airplanes to the applicability. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address the
potential for a fire hazard as a result of
fuel leak from the APU EFP electrical
conduit in the hot landing light
compartment. See the MCAI for
additional background information.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the
opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents
the comment received on the NPRM and
the FAA’s response to the comment.
Request To Use the Latest Service
Information
An anonymous commenter requested
that the FAA revise the NPRM to allow
the use of the latest service bulletin. The
commenter stated that the NPRM
specifies the use of Bombardier Service
Bulletin 604–28–024, dated June 16,
2020, for the actions specified in the
NPRM, and that the service bulletin has
since been revised to Bombardier
Service Bulletin 604–28–024, Revision
1, dated May 28, 2021.
The FAA agrees with the commenter
for the reasons provided above.
Bombardier Service Bulletin 604–28–
024, Revision 01, dated May 28, 2021,
adds a figure to clarify the location of a
certain drain hole. The service bulletin
revision does not add work or affect the
technical content of this AD. The FAA
has revised the ‘‘Related Service
Information under 1 CFR part 51’’
paragraph and figure 2 to paragraph (j)
of this AD accordingly. The FAA also
has also added paragraph (m)(4) of this
AD to allow credit for actions required
by paragraph (j) of this AD if those
actions were performed before the
effective date of this AD using
Bombardier Service Bulletin 604–28–
024, dated June 16, 2020.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this
final rule with the change described
previously and 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.
The FAA also determined that these
changes will not increase the economic
burden on any operator or increase the
scope of this final rule.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
Bombardier has issued the following
service information, which describes
procedures for repetitive general visual
inspections and rectifications for any
fuel leak from the engine and APU EFP
electrical wiring conduit outlets. These
documents are distinct since they apply
to different airplane serial numbers.
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 604–
28–022, Revision 3, dated August 31,
2018.
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 605–
28–010, Revision 3, dated August 31,

describes procedures for a detailed
visual inspection of the APU for any
damage or deformations (e.g., cut wires
and a broken harness assembly of the
fuel boost pump connector), modifying
the engine EFP installation, and repair
if necessary. These documents are
distinct since they apply to different
airplane serial numbers.
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 604–
28–024, Revision 01, dated May 28,
2021.
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 605–
28–012, dated June 16, 2020.
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 650–

According to the manufacturer, some
or all of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby
reducing the cost impact on affected
operators. The FAA does not control
warranty coverage for affected operators.
As a result, the FAA has included all
known costs in the cost estimate.
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 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 negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-22-
06, which applied to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B16 (601-
3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. AD 2017-22-06 required
repetitive inspections for fuel leakage at the engine and auxiliary
power unit (APU) fuel pumps, and related investigative and corrective
actions if necessary. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2017-22-
06, and requires an inspection of the APU, repair if necessary, and
modification of the engine electrical fuel pump (EFP) installation.
This AD also adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD was prompted
by reports of fuel leaks from the electrical connectors and conduits of
the engine and APU EFP cartridge/canister, and the development of
additional actions to address the root cause of the fuel leaks. The FAA
is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective February 25, 2022.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of February 25,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF-2016-32R4, dated October
13, 2020 (TCCA AD CF-2016-32R4); and TCCA AD CF-2020-38, dated October
13, 2020 (TCCA AD CF-2020-38); (also referred to as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B16 (601-
3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) 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-2021-0725.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2017-22-06, Amendment 39-19086 (82 FR
49498, October 26, 2017) (AD 2017-22-06). AD 2017-22-06 applied to
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604
Variants) airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
September 8, 2021 (86 FR 50291). The NPRM was
[[Page 3185]]
prompted by reports of fuel leaks from the electrical connectors and
conduits of the engine APU EFP cartridge/canister, and the development
of additional actions to address the root cause of the fuel leaks. The
NPRM proposed to retain the requirements of AD 2017-22-06, and proposed
to require an inspection of the APU, repair if necessary, and
modification of the engine EFP installation. The NPRM also proposed to
add airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the potential for a fire hazard as a result of fuel leak from
the APU EFP electrical conduit in the hot landing light compartment.
See the MCAI for additional background information.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comment received
on the NPRM and the FAA's response to the comment.
Request To Use the Latest Service Information
An anonymous commenter requested that the FAA revise the NPRM to
allow the use of the latest service bulletin. The commenter stated that
the NPRM specifies the use of Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-28-024,
dated June 16, 2020, for the actions specified in the NPRM, and that
the service bulletin has since been revised to Bombardier Service
Bulletin 604-28-024, Revision 1, dated May 28, 2021.
The FAA agrees with the commenter for the reasons provided above.
Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-28-024, Revision 01, dated May 28,
2021, adds a figure to clarify the location of a certain drain hole.
The service bulletin revision does not add work or affect the technical
content of this AD. The FAA has revised the ``Related Service
Information under 1 CFR part 51'' paragraph and figure 2 to paragraph
(j) of this AD accordingly. The FAA also has also added paragraph
(m)(4) of this AD to allow credit for actions required by paragraph (j)
of this AD if those actions were performed before the effective date of
this AD using Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-28-024, dated June 16,
2020.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule with the change described previously
and 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.
The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

describes procedures for a detailed visual inspection of the APU for
any damage or deformations (e.g., cut wires and a broken harness
assembly of the fuel boost pump connector), modifying the engine EFP
installation, and repair if necessary. These documents are distinct
since they apply to different airplane serial numbers.
Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-28-024, Revision 01, dated
May 28, 2021.
Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-28-012, dated June 16,
2020.
Bombardier Service Bulletin 650-28-002, dated June 16,
2020.
This AD also requires Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-28-022, dated
October 19, 2015, and Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-28-010, dated
October 19, 2015, which the Director of the Federal Register approved
for incorporation by reference as of November 30, 2017 (82 FR 49498,
October 26, 2017).
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.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 128 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retained actions from AD 2017-22- 1 work-hour x $85 $0 $85 per inspection $10,285 per
06 (for 121 airplanes). per hour = $85. cycle. inspection cycle.
New actions...................... 20 work-hours x $85 1,768 $3,468............. $443,904.
per hour = $1,700.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary repair
that would be required based on the results of any required actions.
The FAA has no way of determining the number of aircraft that might
need this repair:
Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per
Labor cost Parts cost product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 work-hours x $85 per hour = $425...... $8,618 $9,043
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 3186]]
According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected operators. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected operators. As a result, the FAA has included all known costs
in the 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.
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 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
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
