Airworthiness Directives; 328 Support

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 328 

Support Services GmbH (Type 

Certificate previously held by AvCraft 

Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild Dornier 

GmbH; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH) Model 

328–100 and 328–300 airplanes. This 

AD was prompted by a manufacturer 

safety analyses review on flight control 

which resulted in recommendations for 

reduced repetitive inspection intervals 

for the flight controls certification 

maintenance requirements (CMR) of the 

tab-to-actuator linkage. This AD requires 

revising the airplane maintenance 

program by incorporating certain CMR 

tasks. We are issuing this AD to prevent 

failure of these components or their 

constituent parts which could lead to 

reduced control of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

February 29, 2012. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of February 29, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on October 5, 2011 (76 FR 

61638). That NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Based on in-service experience, the System 

Safety Analyses for the Flight Controls have 

been reviewed and their conclusions have 

been accepted during the latest Candidate 

Maintenance Coordination Committee 

meeting. 

This review resulted in reduced inspection 

intervals, specifically for the flight controls 

tab-to-actuator linkage CMR repetitive 

inspections, which have been identified as 

mandatory actions for continued 

airworthiness. 

Failure of these components or their 

constituent parts could lead to reduced 

control of the aeroplane. 

Consistent with the [European Aviation 

Safety Agency] EASA policy to require 

compliance with any new and reduced 

airworthiness limitations by taking AD action 

and for the reasons described above, this 

EASA AD requires the accomplishment of 

the reduced-interval repetitive inspections 

and, depending on findings, related 

corrective action(s). In addition, this [EASA] 

AD requires the implementation of the 

affected reduced inspection intervals and 

associated corrective actions into the 

operator’s approved maintenance 

programme. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (76 

FR 61638, October 5, 2011) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the 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 (76 FR 

61638, October 5, 2011) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 61638, 

October 5, 2011).

3584 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 25, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

63 products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 1 workhour 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 to the U.S. operators to 

be $5,355, 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 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); and 

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. We prepared a 

regulatory evaluation of the estimated 

costs to comply with this AD and placed 

it in the AD docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains the NPRM (76 FR 61638, 

October 5, 2011), the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES

section. Comments will be available in 

the AD docket shortly after receipt.
