ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for British 

Aerospace Regional Aircraft Jetstream 

Series 3101 and Jetstream Model 3201 

airplanes. This AD results from 

mandatory continuing airworthiness 

information (MCAI) issued by an 

aviation authority of another country to 

identify and correct an unsafe condition 

on an aviation product. The MCAI 

describes the unsafe condition as 

inadequate instructions for inspection 

for corrosion on the rudder upper hinge 

bracket and certain internal wing and 

drainage paths. We are issuing this AD 

to require actions to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective May 27, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of May 27, 2014.

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 British Aerospace Regional 

Aircraft Jetstream Series 3101 and 

Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on January 31, 2014 (79 FR 

5323). The NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products and was based on mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI) originated by an aviation 

authority of another country. The MCAI 

states: 

Compliance with the inspections in the 

Corrosion Prevention and Control Programme 

(CPCP) has been identified as a mandatory 

action for continued airworthiness and UK 

CAA AD 003–04–94 was issued to require 

operators to comply with those inspection 

instructions. 

Since the issuance of that AD, reports have 

been received of finding extensive corrosion 

on the rudder upper hinge bracket. Although 

there is an existing zonal inspection of the 

area in the CPCP, it has been concluded that 

this is inadequate to identify the corrosion on 

this bracket and consequently, a new specific 

inspection of the rudder upper hinge bracket, 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
22368 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 77 / Tuesday, April 22, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

task 200/EX/01 C2, has been added to the 

CPCP, currently at Revision 6. Failure of the 

rudder upper hinge bracket could lead to the 

onset of flutter and loss of control of the 

aeroplane. 

In addition, although the CPCP already 

included a wing internal inspection to check 

for corrosion and to verify that all drainage 

paths are clear, prompted by feedback from 

the fleet sampling programme, a new, more 

specific, inspection of wing stations 36, 51 

and 83, together with a check of the drainage 

paths, has been introduced into the CPCP 

through task 3/400/IN/01 C2. Failure to 

comply with these instructions could result 

in an unsafe condition. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

retains the requirements of UK CAA AD 003– 

04–94, which is superseded, and requires the 

implementation of the new inspections. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at: http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0042- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 5323, January 31, 2014) 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 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 (79 FR 5323, 

January 31, 2014) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 5323, 

January 31, 2014). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

66 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 100 

work-hours 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 the AD on U.S. operators to 

be $561,000, or $8,500 per product. 

The scope of damage found in the 

required inspection could vary 

significantly from airplane to airplane. 

We have no way of determining how 

much damage may be found on each 

airplane or the cost to repair damaged 

parts on each airplane or the number of 

airplanes that may require repair. 

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 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.

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: 

2014–07–09 British Aerospace Regional 

Aircraft: Amendment 39–17823; Docket 

No. FAA–2014–0042; Directorate 

Identifier 2013–CE–050–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes 

effective May 27, 2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to British Aerospace 

Regional Aircraft Jetstream Series 3101 and
