ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B16 

(CL–604 Variant) airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by a determination that 

certain maintenance tasks for the 

horizontal stabilizer trim actuator 

(HSTA) are inadequate. This AD 

requires revising the maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new airworthiness 

limitations for the HSTA. We are issuing 

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: This AD becomes effective 

August 16, 2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of August 16, 2016.

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 certain Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–600–2B16 (CL–604 Variant) 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on January 4, 2016 (81 

FR 32) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM was 

prompted by a determination that 

certain maintenance tasks for the HSTA 

are inadequate. The NPRM proposed to 

require revising the maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new airworthiness 

limitations for the HSTA. We are issuing 

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. 

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. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comment 

received on the NPRM and the FAA’s 

response to that comment. 

Request To Change the Manufacturer’s 

Contact Information 

Bombardier Inc., asked that we 

change the contact information to 

include the telephone numbers and 

email address for the Widebody 

Customer Response Center. Bombardier 

Inc. provided the updated information. 

We agree with the commenter. We 

have changed the contact information in 

this AD accordingly. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the change described previously 

and 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. 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier Inc. has issued the 

following service information, which 

describes procedures for revising the 

maintenance or inspection program to 

incorporate new airworthiness 

limitations for the HSTA. 

• Section 5–10–40, Certification 

Maintenance Requirements, of Part 2, 

Airworthiness Limitations, of the 

Bombardier Challenger 604 Time 

Limits/Maintenance Checks Manual, 

Revision 22, dated July 11, 2014. 

• Section 5–10–40, Certification 

Maintenance Requirements, of Part 2, 

Airworthiness Limitations, of the 

Bombardier Challenger 605 Time 

Limits/Maintenance Checks Manual, 

Revision 10, dated July 11, 2014. 

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 78 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it takes 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 

$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 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.
