AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B16 

(CL–604 Variant) airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by reports 

of loose, broken, or backed out spur gear 

bolts on the horizontal stabilizer trim 

actuator (HSTA). This proposed AD 

would require a revision to the airplane 

flight manual, a revision to the 

maintenance or inspection program, and 

replacement of HSTAs having certain 

part numbers. We are proposing this AD 

to detect and correct loose spur gear 

bolts on the HSTA, which, if combined 

with the failure of the primary load 

path, could lead to failure of the HSTA 

and subsequent loss of control of the 

airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 30, 2014.

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2013–18, 

dated July 16, 2013 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 72 / Tuesday, April 15, 2014 / Proposed Rules 21159 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL– 

600–2B16 (CL–604 Variant) airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

There have been a number of reports where 

the HSTA [horizontal stabilizer trim actuator] 

spur gear bolts were found loose, broken or 

backed out. Investigation revealed that the 

root cause of the bolt loosening is due to 

incorrect bending of the anti-rotation tab 

washer and the improper application of 

Loctite glue during installation. Loose bolt(s) 

on the HSTA spur gear combined with the 

failure of the primary load path, could lead 

to failure of the HSTA and subsequent loss 

of the aeroplane. 

Bombardier Aerospace has introduced a 

modified HSTA [part number] P/N 604– 

92305–5 (vendor P/N 8454–2) to rectify the 

loose bolt problem. However, this modified 

HSTA has several quality control problems 

which could affect safety. 

This [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate 

the replacement of the affected HSTA with 

the new HSTA P/N 604–92305–7 (vendor P/ 

N 8454–3). 

In addition to replacing any HSTA 

having the affected part number, this 

proposed AD would require revising 

both the airplane flight manual and 

airplane maintenance or inspection 

program. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2014– 

0231. 

Relevant Service Information 

Bombardier, Inc. has issued the 

service information specified below. 

The actions described in this service 

information are intended to correct the 

unsafe condition identified in the 

MCAI. 

• Bombardier Temporary Revision 

604/37, dated May 21, 2013, to the 

Bombardier CL–604 Airplane Flight 

Manual, PSP 604–1.

Clarification of Document Date 

Canadian Airworthiness Directive 

CF–2013–18, dated July 16, 2013, states 

that Bombardier Revision Submissions 

RS–CL604–055 and RS–CL605–030 are 

dated April 30, 2012; however, the date 

that appears on those documents is 

April 27, 2012. We contacted 

Bombardier and verified that the dates 

on the documents are correct. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of this Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

This proposed AD would require 

revisions to certain operator 

maintenance documents to include new 

actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance 

with these actions 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 the 

procedure specified in paragraph (l)(1) 

of this AD. The request should include 

a description of changes to the required 

inspections that will ensure the 

continued operational safety of the 

airplane. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 125 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 21 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $0 per product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of this proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $223,125, or $1,785 per 

product. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this proposed AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

individuals. We do not control warranty 

coverage for affected individuals. As a 

result, we have included all costs in our 

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. 

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 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. 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.
