ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\03JYR1.SGM 03JYR1 42594 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 126 / Monday, July 3, 2023 / Rules and Regulations lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective August 7, 2023. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 7, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background 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–700–1A10 and –1A11 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on February 27, 2023 (88 FR 12276). The NPRM was prompted by AD CF–2022–15, dated April 7, 2022, issued by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada (referred to after this as the MCAI). The VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:10 Jun 30, 2023 Jkt 259001 MCAI states that during a design review, it was discovered that three candidate certification maintenance requirements (CCMRs) which were dispositioned as maintenance review board report (MRBR) tasks had reached or exceeded the limit for escalation and that exceeding the CCMR limitations could result in unsafe conditions. The MCAI also states that Bombardier issued certification maintenance requirements (CMRs) to prevent escalation and reduce the interval, as applicable, for these tasks, which consist of a functional test of the landing-gear emergency extension; an operational test of the brake shutoff valve; and a visual check of the passenger-door vent-flap mechanism. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program as applicable to incorporate more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the following unsafe conditions: • Dormant failure of the landing gear emergency extension system, which could lead to failure to extend the landing gear when normal gear extension has failed. This unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an annunciated failure to extend both main landing gears or all landing gears. • Dormant failure of the brake shut off valve in the open state. This unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in uncommanded braking during takeoff. • Dormant failure of the vent flap assembly where it fails in the closed position, which could result in the failure to prevent the initiation of cabin pressurization when the passenger door is not fully closed, latched and locked. This unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in the passenger door opening under pressure on ground or during flight. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA–2023–0169. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received comments from an individual who supported the NPRM without change. The FAA received additional comments from NetJets. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to each comment. Request for Clarification on Repetitive Intervals NetJets requested that the FAA clarify the repetitive intervals for the CMR PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 tasks after initial accomplishment. NetJets pointed to the language in paragraph B of Transport Canada AD CF–2022–15, which states that after doing the initial actions at the time specified in Table 1 of Transport Canada AD CF–2022–15 (similar to Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD), accomplishing the CMR tasks are to be done at the intervals specified in the applicable TLMC manual identified in Table 2 of the Transport Canada AD CF–2022–15 (similar to Figure 2 to paragraph (g) of this AD). The FAA agrees that the repetitive interval is not specified in this AD; however, operators can find this information in the corresponding TLMC as identified in Figure 2 to paragraph (g) of this AD. Although Transport Canada AD CF–2022–15 requires both revising the maintenance program to include limitations, and doing certain repetitive actions and/or maintaining CDCCLs, this AD only requires the revision of the maintenance program. Requiring a revision of the maintenance program rather than requiring individual repetitive actions or maintaining CDCCLs requires operators to record AD compliance only at the time the revision to the program is made. Repetitive actions or maintaining the CDCCLs specified in the airworthiness limitations must be complied with in accordance with 14 CFR 91.403(c). This AD has not been changed in this regard. Request To Clarify Initial Compliance Time for Certain Airplanes NetJets requested clarification on initial compliance times for airplanes having more than 1,550 flight hours but have not previously accomplished the specific CMR or associated airplane maintenance manual (AMM) task. The FAA agrees to clarify. For an airplane that has more than 1,550 flight hours, but has not previously accomplished an associated task, the initial compliance time is within 30 days after the effective date of this AD. Paragraph (g) of this AD specifies the initial compliance time is within the applicable time specified in Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD, or within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later. For example, for task 32–34–00–101, an airplane that has more than 1,550 flight hours is beyond the initial compliance time specified in Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of the AD, so the ‘‘within 30 days after the effective date of this AD’’ would come later. This AD has not been changed in this regard. Conclusion This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another E:\FR\FM\03JYR1.SGM 03JYR1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 126 / Monday, July 3, 2023 / Rules and Regulations lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on this product. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator.

This service information specifies more restrictive airworthiness limitations for CMRs. 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. Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would affect 413 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD: The FAA has determined that revising the maintenance or inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. Therefore, the agency estimates the average total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours × $85 per work-hour). 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 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 42595 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 negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    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-700-1A10 and -1A11 airplanes. The NPRM published in the 
Federal Register on February 27, 2023 (88 FR 12276). The NPRM was 
prompted by AD CF-2022-15, dated April 7, 2022, issued by Transport 
Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada (referred to after 
this as the MCAI). The MCAI states that during a design review, it was 
discovered that three candidate certification maintenance requirements 
(CCMRs) which were dispositioned as maintenance review board report 
(MRBR) tasks had reached or exceeded the limit for escalation and that 
exceeding the CCMR limitations could result in unsafe conditions. The 
MCAI also states that Bombardier issued certification maintenance 
requirements (CMRs) to prevent escalation and reduce the interval, as 
applicable, for these tasks, which consist of a functional test of the 
landing-gear emergency extension; an operational test of the brake 
shutoff valve; and a visual check of the passenger-door vent-flap 
mechanism.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the existing 
maintenance or inspection program as applicable to incorporate more 
restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to 
address the following unsafe conditions:
     Dormant failure of the landing gear emergency extension 
system, which could lead to failure to extend the landing gear when 
normal gear extension has failed. This unsafe condition, if not 
addressed, could result in an annunciated failure to extend both main 
landing gears or all landing gears.
     Dormant failure of the brake shut off valve in the open 
state. This unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in 
uncommanded braking during takeoff.
     Dormant failure of the vent flap assembly where it fails 
in the closed position, which could result in the failure to prevent 
the initiation of cabin pressurization when the passenger door is not 
fully closed, latched and locked. This unsafe condition, if not 
addressed, could result in the passenger door opening under pressure on 
ground or during flight.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under 
Docket No. FAA-2023-0169.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from an individual who supported the NPRM 
without change.
    The FAA received additional comments from NetJets. The following 
presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to 
each comment.

Request for Clarification on Repetitive Intervals

    NetJets requested that the FAA clarify the repetitive intervals for 
the CMR tasks after initial accomplishment. NetJets pointed to the 
language in paragraph B of Transport Canada AD CF-2022-15, which states 
that after doing the initial actions at the time specified in Table 1 
of Transport Canada AD CF-2022-15 (similar to Figure 1 to paragraph (g) 
of this AD), accomplishing the CMR tasks are to be done at the 
intervals specified in the applicable TLMC manual identified in Table 2 
of the Transport Canada AD CF-2022-15 (similar to Figure 2 to paragraph 
(g) of this AD).
    The FAA agrees that the repetitive interval is not specified in 
this AD; however, operators can find this information in the 
corresponding TLMC as identified in Figure 2 to paragraph (g) of this 
AD. Although Transport Canada AD CF-2022-15 requires both revising the 
maintenance program to include limitations, and doing certain 
repetitive actions and/or maintaining CDCCLs, this AD only requires the 
revision of the maintenance program. Requiring a revision of the 
maintenance program rather than requiring individual repetitive actions 
or maintaining CDCCLs requires operators to record AD compliance only 
at the time the revision to the program is made. Repetitive actions or 
maintaining the CDCCLs specified in the airworthiness limitations must 
be complied with in accordance with 14 CFR 91.403(c). This AD has not 
been changed in this regard.

Request To Clarify Initial Compliance Time for Certain Airplanes

    NetJets requested clarification on initial compliance times for 
airplanes having more than 1,550 flight hours but have not previously 
accomplished the specific CMR or associated airplane maintenance manual 
(AMM) task.
    The FAA agrees to clarify. For an airplane that has more than 1,550 
flight hours, but has not previously accomplished an associated task, 
the initial compliance time is within 30 days after the effective date 
of this AD. Paragraph (g) of this AD specifies the initial compliance 
time is within the applicable time specified in Figure 1 to paragraph 
(g) of this AD, or within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, 
whichever occurs later. For example, for task 32-34-00-101, an airplane 
that has more than 1,550 flight hours is beyond the initial compliance 
time specified in Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of the AD, so the ``within 
30 days after the effective date of this AD'' would come later. This AD 
has not been changed in this regard.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another

[[Page 42595]]

country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to 
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it 
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI 
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the 
comments received, and determined that air safety requires adopting 
this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address 
the unsafe condition on this product. Except for minor editorial 
changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the 
changes will increase the economic burden on any operator.

    This service information specifies more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations for CMRs. 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would 
affect 413 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following 
costs to comply with this AD:
    The FAA has determined that revising the maintenance or inspection 
program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although the 
agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator. 
Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes 
for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-operator 
estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. Therefore, the 
agency estimates the average total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90 
work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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 
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
