Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–
700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by
reports that some overheat detection
sensing elements of the bleed air leak
detection system were manufactured
with insufficient salt fill, which can
result in an inability to detect hot bleed
air leaks. This proposed AD would
require maintenance records
verification, and if an affected part is
installed, would prohibit the use of
certain Master Minimum Equipment

conditions by requiring revising the
operator’s existing MEL. This proposed
AD would also require testing the
overheat detection sensing elements,
marking each serviceable sensing
element with a witness mark, and
replacing each nonserviceable part with
a serviceable part. This proposed AD
would also prohibit the installation of
affected parts under certain conditions.
The FAA is proposing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these
products.
The FAA must receive comments

Background
Transport Canada, which is the
aviation authority for Canada, has
issued Transport Canada AD CF–2023–
17, dated March 8, 2023 (Transport
Canada AD CF–2023–17) (also referred
to after this as the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition on certain Bombardier,
Inc., Model BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–
1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states that
Bombardier received reports from the
supplier of the overheat detection
sensing elements of a manufacturing
quality escape. Some of the sensing
elements of the bleed air leak detection
system were manufactured with
insufficient salt fill. This condition can
result in an inability to detect hot bleed
air leaks, which can cause damage to
surrounding structures and systems and
prevent continued safe flight and
landing.
The FAA is proposing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these
products. You may examine the MCAI
in the AD docket at regulations.gov
under Docket No. FAA–2023–2000.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed Liebherr Service
Bulletin CFD–F1958–26–01, dated May
6, 2022, which specifies part numbers
for affected sensing elements.
The FAA reviewed the following
Bombardier service bulletins, which
specify procedures for testing each leak
detection loop (LDL) sensing element
installed on the airplane, marking each
serviceable sensing element with a
witness mark, and replacing each
nonserviceable part with a serviceable
part. These documents are distinct since
they apply to different airplane models
and configurations:
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700–
1A11–36–005 Basic Issue, dated
December 23, 2022;
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700–
36–026 Basic Issue, dated December 23,
2022;
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700–
36–5002 Basic Issue, dated December
23, 2022;
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700–
36–5501 Basic Issue, dated December
23, 2022;
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700–
36–6002 Basic Issue, dated December
23, 2022; and
• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700–
36–6501 Basic Issue, dated December
23, 2022.
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 the
FAA’s bilateral agreement with this
State of Design Authority, it has notified
the FAA of the unsafe condition
described in the MCAI and service
information described above. The FAA
is issuing this NPRM after determining
that the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop
on other products of the same type
design.
Proposed AD Requirements in This
NPRM
This proposed AD would require
maintenance records verification. If an
affected part is installed, this proposed
AD would prohibit the use of certain
MMEL items unless specific dispatch
instructions are followed by revising the
operator’s existing MEL and
accomplishing the actions specified in
the service information already
described. For certain airplanes, this
proposed AD would also require testing
each LDL sensing element installed on
the airplane, marking each serviceable
sensing element with a witness mark,
and replacing each nonserviceable part
with a serviceable part. This proposed
AD would also prohibit the installation
of affected parts under certain
conditions.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if
adopted as proposed, would affect 160
airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA
estimates the following costs to comply
with this proposed AD:

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Proposed Rules
The FAA has received no definitive
data on which to base the cost estimates
for the on-condition actions specified in
this proposed AD. The FAA estimates it
would take up to 1.5 hours to replace a
sensing element.
The FAA has included all known
costs in its cost estimate. According to
the manufacturer, however, some or all
of the costs of this proposed AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby
reducing the cost impact on affected
operators.
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) Would not affect intrastate
aviation in Alaska, and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:31 Nov 14, 2023
Jkt 262001
(3) Would not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; 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 Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11
airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports that some overheat
detection sensing elements of the bleed air leak detection system were
manufactured with insufficient salt fill, which can result in an
inability to detect hot bleed air leaks. This proposed AD would require
maintenance records verification, and if an affected part is installed,
would prohibit the use of certain Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL)
items under certain conditions by requiring revising the operator's
existing MEL. This proposed AD would also require testing the overheat
detection sensing elements, marking each serviceable sensing element
with a witness mark, and replacing each nonserviceable part with a
serviceable part. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation
of affected parts under certain conditions. 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 January 2,
2024.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
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
Steven Dzierzynski, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 Stewart Avenue,
Suite 410, Westbury, NY 11590; telephone 516-228-7300; email: [email protected]. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not

this rulemaking.
Background
Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued Transport Canada AD CF-2023-17, dated March 8, 2023 (Transport
Canada AD CF-2023-17) (also referred to after this as the MCAI), to
correct an unsafe condition on certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-
1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states that Bombardier
received reports from the supplier of the overheat detection sensing
elements of a manufacturing quality escape. Some of the sensing
elements of the bleed air leak detection system were manufactured with
insufficient salt fill. This condition can result in an inability to
detect hot bleed air leaks, which can cause damage to surrounding
structures and systems and prevent continued safe flight and landing.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at
regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2023-2000.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed Liebherr Service Bulletin CFD-F1958-26-01, dated
May 6, 2022, which specifies part numbers for affected sensing
elements.
The FAA reviewed the following Bombardier service bulletins, which
specify procedures for testing each leak detection loop (LDL) sensing
element installed on the airplane, marking each serviceable sensing
element with a witness mark, and replacing each nonserviceable part
with a serviceable part. These documents are distinct since they apply
to different airplane models and configurations:
Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-1A11-36-005 Basic Issue,
dated December 23, 2022;
Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-36-026 Basic Issue, dated
December 23, 2022;
Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-36-5002 Basic Issue, dated
December 23, 2022;
Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-36-5501 Basic Issue, dated
December 23, 2022;
Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-36-6002 Basic Issue, dated
December 23, 2022; and
Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-36-6501 Basic Issue, dated
December 23, 2022.
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 the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority,
it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
and service information described above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM
after determining that the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.
Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM
This proposed AD would require maintenance records verification. If
an affected part is installed, this proposed AD would prohibit the use
of certain MMEL items unless specific dispatch instructions are
followed by revising the operator's existing MEL and accomplishing the
actions specified in the service information already described. For
certain airplanes, this proposed AD would also require testing each LDL
sensing element installed on the airplane, marking each serviceable
sensing element with a witness mark, and replacing each nonserviceable
part with a serviceable part. This proposed AD would also prohibit the
installation of affected parts under certain conditions.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 160 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 140 work-hours x $85 per hour = $0 Up to $11,900............ Up to $1,904,000.
Up to $11,900.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 78253]]
The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed AD.
The FAA estimates it would take up to 1.5 hours to replace a sensing
element.
The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected operators.
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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
