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 

F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on December 24, 2015 (80 FR 

80299) (‘‘the NPRM’’). 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0271, dated December 

12, 2014 (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 F28 Mark 0070 and 

0100 airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Service experience with the Fokker 100 

type design has shown that cracking can 

occur in the secondary structure of the wing 

at station 8700, rib Part Number (P/N) 

D15445–013/–014 (or lower dash number) in 

the trailing edge section. The hydraulic 

actuator assembly, hydraulic lines, the cable 

pulleys, the anti-upfloat quadrant and the 

associated mechanical linkages including 

flutter dampers are all positioned in the 

affected area, between wing stations 8200 

and 9270. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could lead to failure of the affected 

rib, possibly resulting in reduced control of 

the aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Fokker Services published Service Bulletin 

(SB) SBF100–57–048, which provides 

inspection instructions to detect any cracks 

in the affected area. 

For the reasons described above, this 

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

inspection of the trailing edge rib at wing 

station 8700 and, depending on findings, 

accomplishment of applicable corrective 

action(s). 

This [EASA] AD is considered to be an 

interim action and further AD action may 

follow, possibly to introduce new ALS 

[Airworthiness Limitations Section] tasks, if 

justified by the inspection results. 

Corrective actions include repair of 

cracking in the secondary structure of 

the wing at station 8700, rib part 

number (P/N) D15445–013/–014 (or 

lower dash number), in the trailing edge 

section. 

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– 

7530. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM 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 for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Fokker Service Bulletin 

SBF100–57–048, dated October 27, 

2014. This service information describes 

procedures for inspecting the trailing 

edge section at the rib of wing station 

8700 for cracking. 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. 

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. Required parts will cost 

about $0 per product. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

on U.S. operators to be $680, or $85 per 

product. 

We have received no definitive data 

that will enable us to provide cost 

estimates for the on-condition actions 

specified in this AD. 

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.
