SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to B–N Group Ltd. Models BN–2, 

BN–2A, BN–2A–2, BN–2A–3, BN–2A–6, 

BN–2A–8, BN–2A–9, BN–2A–20, BN– 

2A–21, BN–2A–26, BN–2A–27, BN–2B– 

20, BN–2B–21, BN–2B–26, BN–2B–27, 

BN2A MK. III, BN2A MK. III–2, and 

BN2A MK. III–3 airplanes. That NPRM 

was published in the Federal Register 

on October 30, 2013 (78 FR 64894). That 

NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

Britten-Norman Aircraft Limited has been 

made aware of two occurrences where a 

failure of engine control cable assemblies has 

caused engine control difficulties. In both 

reported cases, the cable sliding end 

assemblies were in poor condition and in 

both cases, an incorrect end-fitting was 

installed which may have contributed to the 

failures. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could result in reduced engine 

control, possibly resulting in reduced control 

of the aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Britten-Norman Aircraft have issued Service 

Bulletin (SB) 334 to provide inspection 

instructions. 

For the reason described above, this AD 

requires a one-time inspection and functional 

test of the engine control cables and, 

depending on findings, replacement of the 

cables. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at: http:// 

www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;

D=FAA-2013-0924-0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (78 

FR 64894, October 30, 2013) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 

64894, October 30, 2013) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 64894, 

October 30, 2013). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

101 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 1 workhour per product to comply with the 

basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the AD on U.S. operators to 

be $8,585, or $85 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions will take 

about 10 work-hours and require parts 

costing $4,800 (4 per airplane), for a cost 

of $5,650 per product. We have no way 

of determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

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. 

We are 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 

We 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 this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

the DOT Regulatory Policies and 

Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 

1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) 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. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating it in Docket No. FAA–

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of another 

country to identify and correct an unsafe 

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI 

describes the unsafe condition as damage of 

the cable sliding end assembly and 

installation of the incorrect end fitting on 

engine control cable assemblies. We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct damage 

of the cable sliding end assembly (cracking, 

distortion, corrosion) and incorrect end 

fittings on the engine control assemblies, 

which could lead to reduced engine control 

with consequent loss of control.
