ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B19 

(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

reports that the horizontal stabilizer 

trim actuator (HSTA) spur gear bolts 

inside the gearbox were found loose, 

broken, or backed out due to incorrect 

bending of the anti-rotation tab washer 

and the improper application of Loctite 

glue during installation. This AD 

requires replacing certain HSTAs with a 

new HSTA. This AD also requires 

revising the airplane flight manual 

(AFM) and the maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent failure of 

the HSTA and subsequent loss of 

control of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

February 17, 2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of February 17, 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–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 

440) airplanes. The NPRM published in 

the Federal Register on January 23, 

2015 (80 FR 3522). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2013–14, 

dated June 4, 2013 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL– 

600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 

440) airplanes. The MCAI states: 

There have been a number of reports where 

the HSTA spur gear bolts inside the gearbox 

were found loose, broken or backed out. 

Investigation revealed that the root cause is 

incorrect bending of the anti-rotation tab 

washer and the improper application of 

Loctite glue during installation. 

The function of these bolts is to generate 

sufficient preload between the two spur gears 

such that the full torque is transferred by 

friction between the two spur gears. 

Loosening of the bolts would reduce the preload between two spur gears and decrease the 

torque transfer. Partial or full torque would 

be re-distributed to the secondary load path 

(Tie-Rod) in torsion. The Tie-Rod is designed 

to withstand axial load only in case of failure 

of the primary load path (ACME screw), and 

not torsional load. The secondary load path 

(Tie-Rod) is therefore considered ineffective 

and no longer provides protection as a 

failsafe design of the system. Loose bolt(s) on 

the HSTA spur gear combined with the 

failure of the primary load path, could lead 

to failure of the HSTA and subsequent loss 

of the aeroplane. 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 13, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 1509 

In addition, Bombardier Aerospace (BA) 

has introduced a modified HSTA [part 

number] P/N 601R92305–5 (vendor P/N 

8396–4) to rectify the loose bolt problem. 

However, this modified HSTA, has several 

quality control problems which could affect 

safety. 

This [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate 

the replacement of the affected HSTA(s) with 

the new HSTA P/N 601R92305–7 (vendor P/ 

N 8396–5). 

This AD also requires revising the 

AFM and maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable. You may 

examine the MCAI in the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-1049- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

have considered the comments received. 

The following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (80 FR 3522, 

January 23, 2015) and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Extend the Compliance 

Time in Paragraph (j)(2)(iii) of the 

NPRM (80 FR 3522, January 23, 2015) 

SkyWest Airlines (SWA) requested 

that the compliance time in paragraph 

(j)(2)(iii) of the proposed AD (80 FR 

3522, January 23, 2015) be extended to 

alleviate the impact on its fleet. SWA 

stated that currently HSTAs are 

replaced prior to the accumulation of 

19,200 total flight hours, and in 

paragraph (j)(2)(iii) of the proposed AD, 

the replacement time is reduced to 

10,000 total flight hours. SWA stated 

that it has 86 airplanes with HSTAs that 

are approaching 10,000 total flight 

hours. SWA is concerned that 

replacement HSTAs might not be 

available in time to comply with the 

requirements proposed in the NPRM. 

We do not agree that the compliance 

time in paragraph (j)(2)(iii) of this AD 

should be extended. In developing an 

appropriate compliance time for this 

action, we considered not only the 

degree of urgency associated with 

addressing the subject unsafe condition, 

but the manufacturer’s recommendation 

for an appropriate compliance time, and 

the availability of required parts. Under 

the provisions of paragraph (m)(1) of 

this AD, however, we may consider 

requests for adjustments to the 

compliance time if data are submitted to 

substantiate that such an adjustment 

would provide an acceptable level of 

safety. We have not changed this AD 

regarding this issue. 

Request To Reduce the Compliance 

Time for HSTA Replacement 

Air Line Pilots Association 

International (ALPA) requested that the 

compliance time for replacement of the 

HSTAs be reduced to ensure that the 

identified safety issue is corrected 

within the Bombardier, Inc. CRJ fleet as 

soon as possible. 

We do not agree with the commenter’s 

request to reduce the compliance time. 

In developing an appropriate 

compliance time, we considered the 

safety implications, parts availability, 

and normal maintenance schedules for 

timely replacement of the HSTAs. In 

consideration of all of these factors, we 

determined that the compliance time, as 

proposed, represents an appropriate 

interval in which the HSTAs can be 

replaced in a timely manner within the 

fleet, while still maintaining an 

adequate level of safety. Most ADs, 

including this one, permit operators to 

accomplish the requirements of an AD 

at a time earlier than the specified 

compliance time; therefore, an operator 

may choose to replace the HSTAs before 

the applicable compliance times 

specified in paragraph (j) of this AD. If 

additional data are presented that would 

justify a shorter compliance time, we 

may consider further rulemaking on this 

issue. We have not changed this AD 

regarding this issue. 

Request To Remove the Airplane Flight 

Manual (AFM) Revision Requirement 

ALPA also requested that once the 

HSTAs have been replaced the FAA reevaluate the need for the revision to the 

AFM to include a first flight check of 

the horizontal stabilizer trim. No 

justification was provided for the 

request to omit the AFM revision. 

We do not agree with the commenter’s 

request to remove the requirement to 

revise the AFM. We have determined 

that the first flight check of the 

horizontal stabilizer trim is still 

necessary after the HSTAs have been 

replaced to ensure the safety of the 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B19 

(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplane 

fleet. Also, this AFM revision 

requirement is included in Canadian AD 

CF–2013–14, dated June 4, 2013, which 

corresponds to this final rule. We have 

not changed this AD regarding this 

issue. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, 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 3522, 

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 3522, 

January 23, 2015). We also determined 

that these changes will not increase the 

economic burden on any operator or 

increase the scope of this AD.

tasks include an inspection, functional 

check, and operational check. 

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 85 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 10 work-hours 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 $38,569 per product. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this AD on U.S. operators to be 

$3,350,615, or $39,419 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. 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
1510 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 13, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

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.
