66482 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 209 / Thursday, October 29, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

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 to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, 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.

Discussion 

On February 6, 2014, we issued AD 

2014–03–18, Amendment 39–17755 (79 

FR 10340; February 25, 2014). That AD 

required actions intended to address an 

unsafe condition on B–N Group Ltd. 

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 and 

was based on mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country. 

Since we issued AD 2014–03–18, it 

was found that the service information 

did not correctly identify the parts to be 

inspected on the Trislander (BN2A MK 

III) series airplanes. The service 

information has been revised to 

correctly identify the parts to be 

inspected on those airplanes. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued AD No.: 2015– 

0184, dated September 1, 2015 (referred 

to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Britten-Norman Aircraft Limited was 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 issued Service 

Bulletin (SB) 334 to provide inspection 

instructions, and EASA issued AD 2013– 

0215 to require a one-time inspection and 

functional test of the engine control cables 

and, depending on findings, replacement of 

the cables. 

Subsequently, as it was found that BN2 

‘‘Islander’’ aeroplanes were mistakenly 

omitted from the AD applicability, EASA 

issued AD 2013–0263, retaining the 

requirements of EASA AD 2013–0215, which 

was superseded, and extending the 

applicability to BN2 aeroplanes. 

You may examine the MCAI on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2015–4803. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Britten-Norman Aircraft 

Limited Service Bulletin No. SB 334, 

Issue 1, dated August 30, 2013, and 

Britten-Norman Aircraft Limited Service 

Bulletin No. SB 334, Issue 2, dated July 

17, 2015. The service information 

describes procedures for inspection and 

replacement if necessary of the engine 

control cable assemblies. 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 of this NPRM. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the 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 this State of 

Design Authority, they have notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all 

information and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

will affect 96 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $8,160 or $85 per 

product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 10 work-hours and require parts 

costing $6,000), for a cost of $6,850 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 


rmajette on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
66484 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 209 / Thursday, October 29, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

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.
