Background
The FAA issued AD 2023–05–08,
Amendment 39–22377 (88 FR 20751,
April 7, 2023) (AD 2023–05–08), for
certain Airbus Canada Limited
Partnership Model BD–500–1A10 and
BD–500–1A11 airplanes. AD 2023–05–
08 requires revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as
E:\FR\FM\29APP1.SGM
29APP1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 83 / Monday, April 29, 2024 / Proposed Rules
applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. AD
2023–05–08 resulted from a
determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are
necessary. The FAA issued AD 2023–
05–08 to supersede AD 2021–04–05,
Amendment 39–21426 (86 FR 10799,
February 23, 2021). AD 2023–05–08
terminated the actions specified in AD
2021–04–05, except for Section 03,
‘‘Candidate CMR Limitations—
General’’, of Airbus Canada Limited
Partnership A220 Airworthiness
Limitations, BD500–3AB48–11400–02,
Issue 011.00, dated June 18, 2020. The
FAA issued AD 2023–05–08 to address
reduced structural integrity of the
airplane or reduced controllability of
the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2023–05–08 Was
Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2023–05–
08, the FAA has determined that new or
more restrictive airworthiness
limitations are necessary.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF–
2023–69, dated October 5, 2023 (TCCA
AD CF–2022–18) (also referred to after
this as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Airbus Canada
Limited Partnership Model BD–500–
1A10 and BD–500–1A11 airplanes.
Airplanes with an original airworthiness
certificate or original export certificate
of airworthiness issued after August 17,
2023, must comply with the
airworthiness limitations specified as
part of the approved type design and
referenced on the type certificate data
sheet; this proposed AD therefore does
not include those airplanes in the
applicability.
The FAA is proposing this AD to
address new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary.
The FAA is proposing this AD to
address reduced structural integrity of
the airplane or reduced controllability
of the airplane.

2021).
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] referenced 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 Requirements of This NPRM
This proposed AD would retain all
requirements of AD 2023–05–08, which
includes retaining Section 03,
‘‘Candidate CMR Limitations—
General,’’ of Airbus Canada Limited
Partnership A220 Airworthiness
Limitations, BD500–3AB48–11400–02,
Issue 011.00, dated June 18, 2020. This
proposed AD would require revising the
existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate
new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. Revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program as
proposed in this AD would terminate
the retained requirements from AD
2023–05–08 that are specified in
paragraph (i) of this proposed AD.
This proposed AD would require
revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new
actions (e.g., inspections) and Critical
Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with
these actions and CDCCLs is required by
14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that
have been previously modified, altered,
or repaired in the areas addressed by
this proposed AD, the operator may not
be able to accomplish the actions
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
33301
described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR
91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of
compliance according to paragraph
(m)(1) of this proposed AD.
Differences Between This NPRM and
the MCAI or Service Information
TCCA AD CF–2023–69 specifies to
incorporate all sections of the
airworthiness limitations document.
This proposed AD would not require the
incorporation of Section 03, ‘‘Candidate
CMR limitations,’’ of Airbus Canada
Limited Partnership A220
Airworthiness Limitations, BD500–
3AB48–11400–02, Issue 017.01, dated
August 17, 2023. However, this
proposed AD would continue to require
the incorporation of Section 03,
‘‘Candidate CMR limitations—General,’’
of Airbus Canada Limited Partnership
A220 Airworthiness Limitations,
BD500–3AB48–11400–02, Issue 011.00,
dated June 18, 2020, which is identical
to the list of CCMRs identified in Issue
017.01.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this proposed
AD affects 99 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs
to comply with this proposed AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per
operator for the retained actions from
AD 2023–05–08 to be $7,650 (90 workhours × $85 per work-hour).
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).
The FAA estimates the total cost per
operator for the new proposed actions 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
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
E:\FR\FM\29APP1.SGM
29APP1
33302
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 83 / Monday, April 29, 2024 / Proposed Rules
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.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type
Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership
(CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2023-05-08, which applies to certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership
Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2023-05-08 requires
required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-05-08, the FAA has determined
that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary.
This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2023-
05-08 and require revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

this rulemaking.
Background
The FAA issued AD 2023-05-08, Amendment 39-22377 (88 FR 20751,
April 7, 2023) (AD 2023-05-08), for certain Airbus Canada Limited
Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2023-05-08
requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as
[[Page 33301]]
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. AD 2023-05-08 resulted from a determination that new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA
issued AD 2023-05-08 to supersede AD 2021-04-05, Amendment 39-21426 (86
FR 10799, February 23, 2021). AD 2023-05-08 terminated the actions
specified in AD 2021-04-05, except for Section 03, ``Candidate CMR
Limitations--General'', of Airbus Canada Limited Partnership A220
Airworthiness Limitations, BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue 011.00, dated
June 18, 2020. The FAA issued AD 2023-05-08 to address reduced
structural integrity of the airplane or reduced controllability of the
airplane.
Actions Since AD 2023-05-08 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2023-05-08, the FAA has determined that new
or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF-2023-69, dated October 5,
2023 (TCCA AD CF-2022-18) (also referred to after this as the MCAI), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Canada Limited
Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. Airplanes with
an original airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of
airworthiness issued after August 17, 2023, must comply with the
airworthiness limitations specified as part of the approved type design
and referenced on the type certificate data sheet; this proposed AD
therefore does not include those airplanes in the applicability.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is proposing this AD
to address reduced structural integrity of the airplane or reduced
controllability of the airplane.
You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2024-1285.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
Airbus Canada Limited Partnership has issued A220 Airworthiness
Limitations, BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue 017.01, dated August 17, 2023,
which describes airworthiness limitations for fuel tank systems, safe
life limits, and certification maintenance requirements.
This proposed AD would also require Airbus Canada Limited
Partnership A220 Airworthiness Limitations, BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue
014.00, dated February 3, 2022, which the Director of the Federal
Register approved for incorporation by reference as of May 12, 2023 (88
FR 20751, April 7, 2023).
This proposed AD would also require Airbus Canada Limited
Partnership A220 Airworthiness Limitations, BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue
011.00, dated June 18, 2020, which the Director of the Federal Register
approved for incorporation by reference as of March 30, 2021 (86 FR
10799, February 23, 2021).
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] referenced 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 Requirements of This NPRM
This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2023-05-08,
which includes retaining Section 03, ``Candidate CMR Limitations--
General,'' of Airbus Canada Limited Partnership A220 Airworthiness
Limitations, BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue 011.00, dated June 18, 2020.
This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. Revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program as proposed in this AD would
terminate the retained requirements from AD 2023-05-08 that are
specified in paragraph (i) of this proposed AD.
This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(m)(1) of this proposed AD.
Differences Between This NPRM and the MCAI or Service Information
TCCA AD CF-2023-69 specifies to incorporate all sections of the
airworthiness limitations document. This proposed AD would not require
the incorporation of Section 03, ``Candidate CMR limitations,'' of
Airbus Canada Limited Partnership A220 Airworthiness Limitations,
BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue 017.01, dated August 17, 2023. However,
this proposed AD would continue to require the incorporation of Section
03, ``Candidate CMR limitations--General,'' of Airbus Canada Limited
Partnership A220 Airworthiness Limitations, BD500-3AB48-11400-02, Issue
011.00, dated June 18, 2020, which is identical to the list of CCMRs
identified in Issue 017.01.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 99 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2023-05-08 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
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).
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed
actions 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
[[Page 33302]]
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.
