ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model BD–700–1A10 

and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by a determination that 

the network interface installed between 

the Information Management System 

(IMS) 6000 unit and the Cabin 

Entertainment System (CES) network 

could affect the Aircraft Control Domain 

(ACD), and result in the transmission of 

misleading navigational information to 

the flightcrew. This AD requires 

inspecting the network interface 

installation between the IMS and the 

CES, and disconnecting the installation, 

if necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent the transmission of misleading 

navigational information, which could 

adversely affect the ability of the 

flightcrew to maintain the safe flight 

and landing of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 23, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of June 23, 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 

BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on January 13, 2016 

(81 FR 1568) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM 

was prompted by a determination that 

the network interface installed between 

the IMS 6000 unit and the CES network 

could affect the ACD, and result in the 

transmission of misleading navigational 

information to the flightcrew. The 

NPRM proposed to require inspecting 

the network interface installation 

between the IMS and the CES, and 

disconnecting the installation, if 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent the transmission of misleading 

navigational information, which could 

adversely affect the ability of the 

flightcrew to maintain the safe flight 

and landing of the airplane. 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2015–19, 

dated July 20, 2015 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
31496 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD– 

700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

It was discovered that on certain 

aeroplanes, the network interface installed 

between the Information Management 

System (IMS) 6000 unit and the Cabin 

Entertainment System (CES) network may 

affect the Aircraft Control Domain (ACD). 

This could potentially compromise the 

operational integrity of the avionics system 

and result in misleading navigational 

information to the flight crew. Misleading 

navigational information could have adverse 

effects on the safe operation of the aeroplane. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the [general 

visual] inspection [to determine if pins are 

present at positions 25, 27, 48, and 50] and 

disconnection, as required, of the network 

interface installation between the IMS and 

the CES. 

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– 

8431. 

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 

Bombardier has issued the following 

service information, which describes 

procedures for inspecting the network 

interface installation between the IMS 

and the CES, and disconnecting the 

installation, if necessary. 

• Service Bulletin 700–46–5005, 

Revision 02, dated June 18, 2015 (for 

Model BD–700–1A11 airplanes). 

• Service Bulletin 700–46–6005, 

Revision 02, dated June 18, 2015 (for 

Model BD–700–1A10 airplanes). 

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 77 

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 

$6,545, or $85 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on action takes about 3 

work-hours, for a cost of $255 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need this action. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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.

misleading navigational information, which 

could adversely affect the ability of the 

flightcrew to maintain the safe flight and 

landing of the airplane.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014–20– 

01 for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–600–2B16 (CL–601–3A, CL–601–3R, 

and CL–604 Variants) airplanes. AD 

2014–20–01 required repetitive 

inspections for any fuel leak in the 

right-hand landing lights compartment, 

and related investigative and corrective 

actions if necessary. AD 2014–20–01 

also provides for an optional 

replacement of the connector of the fuel 

boost pump canister of the auxiliary 

power unit (APU), which terminates the 

repetitive inspections. This new AD 

requires replacing the connector of the 

fuel boost pump canister of the APU. 

This AD was prompted by the 

determination that a terminating action 

for the repetitive inspections is 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct fuel leaks in the righthand landing lights compartment, 

which, in combination with the heat 

generated by the taxi lights and landing 

lights on the ground reaching the autoignition temperature of the fuel, could 

result in ignition of any fuel or fumes 

present in the right-hand landing lights 

compartment. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 

23, 2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD
