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 all Fokker Services B.V. Model 

F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on January 23, 2015 (80 FR 

3500). We are issuing this AD to detect 

and correct cracking of the oblique 

frame 67–2, which could lead to failure 

of the oblique frame 67–2, and 

consequent loss of the structural 

integrity of the tail section. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0039, dated February 20, 

2014, dated (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct 

an unsafe condition for all Fokker 

Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 

and 0100 airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Service experience has shown that cracks 

can occur in oblique frame 67–2 in the tail 

section on aeroplanes with more than 29 000 

flight cycles (FC). 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, can result in an exponential crack 

growth rate, possibly leading to failure of the 

oblique frame 67–2 over a certain length and 

consequent loss of the structural integrity of 

the tail section of the aeroplane. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires a one-time [detailed] 

inspection of the oblique frame 67–2 for 

cracks and, depending on findings, 

accomplishment of a repair. 

Repetitive inspections are planned to be 

incorporated into a revision of Fokker 

Services Report SE–623, which is part of the 

Airworthiness Limitations Section of the 

Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, for 

which a separate [EASA] AD is expected to 

be published. 

Fokker Services All Operators Message 

AOF100.187#02 provides additional 

information concerning the subject addressed 

by this [EASA] AD. 

You may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-1048- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (80 

FR 3500, January 23, 2015) 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 this 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 (80 FR 3500, 

January 23, 2015) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (80 FR 3500, 

January 23, 2015). 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Fokker Services B.V. has issued 

Service Bulletin SBF100–53–124, dated 

January 23, 2014; and Service Bulletin 

SBF100–53–125, Revision 1, dated 

February 13, 2014. The service 

information describes procedures for a 

one-time detailed inspection of the 

oblique frame 67–2 for any cracking, 

and repair if necessary. 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 AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 8 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 1 work-hour 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 on U.S. 

operators to be $680, or $85 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions will take 

about 12 work-hours and require parts 

costing $0, for a cost of $1,020 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need this action. 

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.
