ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Dassault Aviation Model FAN JET 

FALCON, FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, 

D, E, F, and G airplanes; Model 

MYSTERE–FALCON 200 airplanes; and 

Model MYSTERE–FALCON 20–C5, 20– 

D5, 20–E5, and 20–F5 airplanes. This 

AD was prompted by reports of a 

manufacturing defect in the charge 

indicator on fire extinguisher bottles. 

This AD requires repetitive weighing of 

fire extinguisher bottles having a certain 

part number, and eventual replacement 

of those bottles to terminate the 

repetitive weighing. We are issuing this 

AD to detect and correct a dormant 

failure in the fire suppression system, 

which could result in the inability to 

put out a fire in an engine, auxiliary 

power unit, or rear compartment. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

October 20, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of October 20, 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 all Dassault Aviation Model 

FAN JET FALCON, FAN JET FALCON 

SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes; 

Model MYSTERE–FALCON 200 

airplanes; and Model MYSTERE– 

FALCON 20–C5, 20–D5, 20–E5, and 20– 

F5 airplanes. The NPRM published in 

the Federal Register on May 21, 2013 

(78 FR 29669). The NPRM was 

prompted by reports of a manufacturing 

defect in the charge indicator on fire 

extinguisher bottles. The NPRM 

proposed to require repetitive weighing 

of fire extinguisher bottles having a 

certain part number, and eventual 

replacement of those bottles to 

terminate the repetitive weighing. We 

are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

a dormant failure in the fire suppression 

system, which could result in the 

inability to put out a fire in an engine, 

auxiliary power unit, or rear 

compartment. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2012–0189, 

dated September 24, 2012 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Dassault Aviation Model FAN 

JET FALCON, FAN JET FALCON 

SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes; 

Model MYSTERE–FALCON 200 

airplanes; and Model MYSTERE– 

FALCON 20–C5, 20–D5, 20–E5, and 20– 

F5 airplanes. The MCAI states: 

A manufacturing defect of the charge 

indicator of fire extinguisher bottles has been 

reported on Dassault Aviation Fan Jet Falcon 

and Myste`re-Falcon 20 series aeroplanes. 

The results of the investigations concluded 

that this defect may lead to corrosion of the 

charge indicator, causing improper 

indication of loss of pressure inside the 

bottle. In addition, the Part Numbers (P/N) of 

the fire extinguishers and batch numbers of 

the affected charge indicators have been 

identified. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could constitute a dormant failure 

that might impact the capability to extinguish 

a fire, either in an engine or the Auxiliary 

Power Unit (APU) or the rear compartment, 

possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane 

and injury to the occupants.

54898 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 178 / Monday, September 15, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires repetitive weighing of 

the affected fire extinguishers bottles and, 

ultimately replacement of the affected bottles 

with serviceable bottles. In addition, this 

[EASA] AD prohibits installation of an 

affected fire extinguisher bottle. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-0423- 

0003. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (78 

FR 29669, May 21, 2013) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

‘‘Contacting the Manufacturer’’ 

Paragraph in This AD 

Since late 2006, we have included a 

standard paragraph titled ‘‘Airworthy 

Product’’ in all MCAI ADs in which the 

FAA develops an AD based on a foreign 

authority’s AD. 

We have become aware that some 

operators have misunderstood or 

misinterpreted the Airworthy Product 

paragraph to allow the owner/operator 

to use messages provided by the 

manufacturer as approval of deviations 

during the accomplishment of an ADmandated action. The Airworthy 

Product paragraph does not approve 

messages or other information provided 

by the manufacturer for deviations to 

the requirements of the AD-mandated 

actions. The Airworthy Product 

paragraph only addresses the 

requirement to contact the manufacturer 

for corrective actions for the identified 

unsafe condition and does not cover 

deviations from other AD requirements. 

However, deviations to AD-required 

actions are addressed in 14 CFR 39.17, 

and anyone may request the approval 

for an alternative method of compliance 

to the AD-required actions using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

To address this misunderstanding and 

misinterpretation of the Airworthy 

Product paragraph, we have changed the 

paragraph and retitled it ‘‘Contacting the 

Manufacturer.’’ This paragraph now 

clarifies that for any requirement in this 

AD to obtain corrective actions from a 

manufacturer, the actions must be 

accomplished using a method approved 

by the FAA, EASA, or Dassault 

Aviation’s EASA Design Organization 

Approval (DOA). 

The Contacting the Manufacturer 

paragraph also clarifies that, if approved 

by the DOA, the approval must include 

the DOA-authorized signature. The DOA 

signature indicates that the data and 

information contained in the document 

are EASA-approved, which is also FAAapproved. Messages and other 

information provided by the 

manufacturer that do not contain the 

DOA-authorized signature approval are 

not EASA-approved, unless EASA 

directly approves the manufacturer’s 

message or other information. 

This clarification does not remove 

flexibility previously afforded by the 

Airworthy Product paragraph. 

Consistent with long-standing FAA 

policy, such flexibility was never 

intended for required actions. This is 

also consistent with the 

recommendation of the Airworthiness 

Directive Implementation Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee to increase 

flexibility in complying with ADs by 

identifying those actions in 

manufacturers’ service instructions that 

are ‘‘Required for Compliance’’ with 

ADs. We continue to work with 

manufacturers to implement this 

recommendation. But once we 

determine that an action is required, any 

deviation from the requirement must be 

approved as an alternative method of 

compliance. 

We also have decided not to include 

a generic reference to either the 

‘‘delegated agent’’ or ‘‘design approval 

holder (DAH) with State of Design 

Authority design organization 

approval,’’ but instead we have 

provided the specific delegation 

approval granted by the State of Design 

Authority for the DAH. 

Explanation of Changes to This AD 

Paragraphs (h)(2), (h)(2)(i), (h)(2)(iii), 

(h)(2)(iv), (i), (i)(1), (i)(3), (i)(4), (j)(1), 

(j)(3), and (j)(4) of this AD were revised 

to state that required actions must be 

done in accordance with a method 

approved by the Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, Transport Airplane 

Directorate, FAA; or the EASA; or 

Airbus’s EASA DOA. The service 

information previously referenced in 

those paragraphs is now referenced as 

guidance material in notes to the 

applicable paragraphs. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 

29669, May 21, 2013) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 29669, 

May 21, 2013). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 185 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 4 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 $6,400 per product. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this AD on U.S. operators to be up to 

$1,246,900, or $6,740 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA published in the Federal 

Register a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend three 

VOR Federal airways and one area 

navigation route in northeastern Maine 

(79 FR 29138, May 21, 2014). Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal. No 

comments were received. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying the descriptions of VOR 

Federal airways V–93, V–314, V–471 

and RNAV route T–295 due to the 

planned decommissioning of the 

Princeton VOR in Maine. 

An analysis of the airway structure in 

northeastern Maine found that some 

segments of the affected routes airways 

are rarely utilized. After coordination 

with Boston Air Route Traffic Control 

Center, Bangor Airport Traffic Control 

Tower, and Moncton Center (Canada), 

the FAA is removing the underutilized 

segments of the affected routes. The 

changes are described below. 

V–93 extends between Patuxent River, 

MD, and the intersection of the 

Princeton, ME, 157° radial and the 

United States/Canadian border. The 

FAA is terminating the route at the 

Bangor, ME, VORTAC (BGR), 

eliminating the route segments between 

BGR and the United States/Canadian 

border. 

V–314 extends from Quebec, PQ, 

Canada, through United States airspace, 

to St. John, NB, Canada. This action 

terminates the route at Millinocket, ME, 

and eliminates the segments between 

Millinocket, Princeton, ME, and St. 

John, NB, Canada. 

V–471 extends between the 

intersection of the Princeton, ME, 208° 

and the Bangor, ME, 132° radials (i.e., 

the charted BARHA fix) and the 

intersection of the Houlton, ME, 085° 

radial and the United States/Canadian 

border. This action removes the route 

segment between the Bangor VORTAC 

and the BARHA fix. 

T–295 extends between the LOUIE, 

MD, fix and the Princeton, ME, VOR. 

The amended route terminates at 

Bangor, ME, eliminating the segment 

between Bangor and Princeton, ME. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a); and low altitude 

RNAV routes are published in 

paragraph 6011, respectively, of FAA 

Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airways and area 

navigation route listed in this document 

will be subsequently published in the 

Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory 

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; 

February 26, 1979); and (3) does not 

warrant preparation of a regulatory 

evaluation because the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule does not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 

40103. Under that section, the FAA is 

charged with prescribing regulations to 

assign the use of the airspace necessary 

to ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it modifies the route structure 

as required to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic in 

northeastern Maine. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist
