Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–1A11 

(CL–600), CL–600–2A12 (CL–601), and 

CL–600–2B16 (CL–601–3A, CL–601–3R, 

& CL–604 Variants) airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by reports of cracking 

found on the upper and lower Web of 

the engine support beam. This AD 

requires revising the maintenance 

program. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct fatigue cracking of the 

engine support beam, which could 

result in failure of the engine support 

beam and affect the structural integrity 

of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

March 19, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of March 19, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on July 31, 2012 (77 FR 45288). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information (MCAI) 

states: 

Cracks on the upper and lower Web of the 

Engine Support Beam (ESB) have been 

discovered on two (2) Challenger aeroplanes 

in service. Failure of the ESB could adversely 

affect the structural integrity of the 

aeroplane. 

A Temporary Revision (TR) has been made 

to the Time Limits/Maintenance Checks 

(TLMC) manual to introduce a new 

Airworthiness Limitations (AWL) task to 

ensure that fatigue cracking of the ESB is 

detected and corrected. 

This [Canadian] directive mandates the 

incorporation of the new AWL task. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (77 

FR 45288, July 31, 2012) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available 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 (77 FR 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
9784 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 12, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

45288, July 31, 2012) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 45288, 

July 31, 2012). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

111 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 this AD to the U.S. operators to 

be $9,435, or $85 per product. 

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 that 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://www.regulations.

gov; or in person at the Docket 

Operations office between 9 a.m. and 5 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains the NPRM (77 FR 45288, July 

31, 2012), the regulatory evaluation, any 

comments received, and other 

information. The street address for the 

Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES

section. Comments will be available in 

the AD docket shortly after receipt. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

2013–03–08 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment 

39–17343. Docket No. FAA–2012–0725; 

Directorate Identifier 2011–NM–207–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes 

effective March 19, 2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

(1) This AD applies to the airplane models 

specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i), (c)(1)(ii), 

(c)(1)(iii), and (c)(1)(iv) of this AD, 

certificated in any category. 

(i) Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–1A11 

(CL–600), serial numbers 1004 through 1085 

inclusive. 

(ii) Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2A12 

(CL–601), serial numbers 3001 through 3066 

inclusive. 

(iii) Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B16 

(CL–601–3A and CL–601–3R Variants), serial 

numbers 5001 through 5194 inclusive. 

(iv) Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B16 

(CL–604 Variants), serial numbers 5301 

through 5665 inclusive, and 5701 and 

subsequent. 

(2) This AD requires revisions to certain 

operator maintenance documents to include 

new inspections. Compliance with these 

inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). 

For airplanes that have been previously 

modified, altered, or repaired in the areas 

addressed by these inspections, the operator 

may not be able to accomplish the 

inspections 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 (j) of this AD. The request 

should include a description of changes to 

the required inspections that will ensure the 

continued damage tolerance of the affected 

structure. The FAA has provided guidance 

for this determination in FAA Advisory 

Circular (AC) 25.1529–1A, dated November 

20, 2007 (http://rgl/Regulatory_and_

Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/ 

E4111B5537E0B345862573B0006FA23B?

OpenDocument). 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 05, Periodic Inspections. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

cracking found on the upper and lower Web 

of the engine support beam. We are issuing 

this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking 

of the engine support beam, which could 

result in failure of the engine support beam 

and affect the structural integrity of the 

airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

You are responsible for having the actions 

required by this AD performed within the 

compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(g) Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC)
