ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model BD–700–1A11 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by a 

report that certain lanyards for the 

passenger oxygen masks are longer than 

the specified length, possibly leading to 

inactive oxygen masks in an emergency. 

This AD requires replacement of certain 

oxygen mask lanyards. We are issuing 

this AD to detect and correct lanyards 

of incorrect length, which might not 

activate the flow of oxygen in an 

emergency, resulting in injury to 

passengers. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

December 2, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of December 2, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to 

amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD 

that would apply to certain Bombardier, 

Inc. Model BD–700–1A11 airplanes. The 

SNPRM published in the Federal 

Register on July 23, 2014 (79 FR 42708). 

We preceded the SNPRM with a notice 

of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 18, 2013 (78 FR 42893). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2012–31R1, 

dated September 17, 2013 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD– 

700–1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states: 

The aeroplane manufacturer has 

determined that the Oxygen Dispensing Unit 

(ODU) lanyards, in several locations 

throughout the aeroplane cabin, are 

excessively long. In an emergency situation 

where oxygen is required, it is possible that 

certain occupants may put their oxygen mask 

on without automatically activating the 

oxygen flow which could result in a fatal 

injury. 

The original issue of this [Canadian] AD 

mandated the replacement of the existing 

ODU lanyards with lanyards of the correct 

length. 

After the issuance of the original 

[Canadian] AD, the aeroplane manufacturer 

discovered that operators had not replaced 

all of the affected ODU lanyards due to 

misinterpretation of the accomplishment 

instructions of the Basic Issue of SB 700– 

1A11–35–009. Revision 1 of this [Canadian] 

AD is issued to mandate the incorporation of 

the revised SB with clarified accomplishment 

instructions. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-0548- 

0004. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the SNPRM 

(79 FR 42708, July 23, 2014) 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 SNPRM (79 FR 

42708, July 23, 2014) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the SNPRM (79 FR 42708, 

July 23, 2014). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 22 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 16 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 $0 per product. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

on U.S. operators to be $29,920, or 

$1,360 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.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Airbus Model A330–200 and –300 series 

airplanes, and Model A340–200 and 

–300 series airplanes. This AD was 

prompted by a report of contact between 

certain electrical harnesses and the 

hatrack rod that could cause chafing 

between the harnesses and surrounding 

structure. This AD requires modifying 

the routing of certain electrical 

harnesses. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent chafing and possible short 

circuit of two oxygen chemical 

generator containers in different wiring 

routes, which could result in 

malfunction of the electrical opening of 

all the containers connected to these 

routes. Such conditions, during a 

sudden depressurization event, could 

result in lack of oxygen and consequent 

injuries to airplane occupants. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

December 2, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of December 2, 2014.
