32 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 1 / Monday, January 4, 2016 / Proposed Rules 

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.

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 a 

determination that certain maintenance 

tasks for the horizontal stabilizer trim 

actuator (HSTA) are inadequate. This 

proposed AD would require revising the 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new 

airworthiness limitations for the HSTA. 

We are proposing this AD to detect and 

correct premature wear and cracking of 

the HSTA, which could result in failure 

of the HSTA and consequent loss of 

control of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by February 18, 2016.

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–30, 

dated September 5, 2014 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL– 

600–2B16 (CL–604 Variant) airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

A revision has been made to the CL 604/ 

605 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks 

(TLMC) manual, to introduce new tasks for 

the HSTA. Failure to comply with the TLMC 

tasks could lead to an unsafe condition. 

This [Canadian] AD is issued to ensure that 

premature wear and cracking of the affected 

components are detected and corrected. 

The unsafe condition is premature 

wear and cracking of the HSTA, which 

could result in failure of the HSTA and 

consequent loss of control of the 

airplane. 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–2015– 

8129. 

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 

revising the maintenance or inspection 

program to incorporate new 

airworthiness limitations for the HSTA. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier Inc. has issued the 

following service information. 

• For Model CL–600–2B16 (CL–604 

Variant) airplanes, serial numbers 5301 

through 5665 inclusive: Task 27–42–01– 

109, Restoration (Overhaul) of the 

Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Actuator, 

Part No. 604–92305–7 and Subs (Vendor 

Part No. 8454–3 and Subs); and Task 

27–42–01–111, Detailed Inspection of 

the Horizontal Trim Actuator (HSTA) 

Secondary Load Path Indicator, Part No. 

604–92305–7 and Subs (Vendor Part No. 

8454–3 and Subs); of Section 5–10–40, 

Certification Maintenance 

Requirements, of Part 2, Airworthiness 

Limitations, Revision 22, dated July 11, 

2014, of the Bombardier Challenger 604 

Time Limits/Maintenance Checks 

Manual. 

• For Model CL–600–2B16 (CL–604 

Variant) airplanes, serial numbers 5701 

through 5962 inclusive: Task 27–42–01– 

109, Restoration (Overhaul) of the 

Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Actuator, 

Part No. 604–92305–7 and Subs (Vendor 

Part No. 8454–3 and Subs); and Task 

27–42–01–111, Detailed Inspection of 

the Horizontal Trim Actuator (HSTA) 

Secondary Load Path Indicator, Part No. 

604–92305–7 and Subs (Vendor Part No. 

8454–3 and Subs); of Section 5–10–40, 

Certification Maintenance 

Requirements, of Part 2, Airworthiness 

Limitations, Revision 10, dated July 11, 

2014, of the Bombardier Challenger 605 

Time Limits/Maintenance Checks 

Manual. 

The service information describes 

procedures for revising the maintenance 

or inspection program to incorporate 

new airworthiness limitations for the 

HSTA. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 78 airplanes 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 

this proposed AD on U.S. operators to 

be $6,630, 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 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.

requires inspecting for a by-pass wire 

between the housing of each in-tank fuel 

quantity indication (FQI) cable plug and 

the cable shield, and corrective actions 

if necessary. AD 2011–17–10 also 

requires revising the airplane 

maintenance program. Since we issued 

AD 2011–17–10, revised service 

information has been issued to update 

the critical design configuration control 

limitations (CDCCLs) that address 

potential ignition sources inside fuel 

tanks. This proposed AD would require 

revising the airplane maintenance or
