AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Viking Air Limited (type certificate 

previously held by Bombardier Inc. and 

de Havilland, Inc.) (Viking) Model 

DHC–3 airplanes. This proposed AD 

was prompted by a report of cracking in

side (RHS) lower engine mount pickup 

fittings. This proposed AD would 

require a one-time inspection of the 

affected parts for cracking, deformation, 

corrosion, fretting or wear, paint or 

surface coating damage, and loose, 

missing, or broken fasteners, and 

applicable corrective actions. This 

proposed AD would also require 

reporting the inspection results. The 

FAA is proposing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products.

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

contain commercial or financial 

information that is customarily treated 

as private, that you actually treat as 

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Yaser Osman, 

Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 

Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, 

NY 11590. Any commentary that the 

FAA receives which is not specifically 

designated as CBI will be placed in the 

public docket for this rulemaking. 

Background 

Transport Canada, which is the 

aviation authority for Canada, has 

issued Transport Canada AD CF–2022– 

41, dated August 4, 2022 (referred to 

after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

unsafe condition on all Viking Model 

DHC–3 airplanes. 

The MCAI states that Viking received 

a post inspection report of fatigue 

cracking on the LHS and RHS of the 

lower engine mount pickup fittings on 

a Viking Model DHC–3 airplane. The 

two upper and two lower engine mount 

pickup fittings provide a rigid 

connection between the engine mount 

ring to which the engine is secured, and 

the firewall rear face. The MCAI also 

states that the current inspection 

requirements do not include a direct 

inspection of the lower and upper 

engine mount pickup fittings, and 

consequently, cracks or other damage to 

the engine mount pickup fittings may 

not be detected. Additionally, the MCAI 

states that an investigation determined 

that the upper engine mount pickup 

fittings can also have undetected fatigue 

cracks because they are manufactured 

from the same material as the lower 

engine mount pickup fittings. 

Cracking of any of the engine mount 

pickup fittings can result in failure of 

the fitting, leading to a loose connection 

of the engine mount ring, which 

provides main support for the engine at 

the firewall. This condition, if not 

addressed, could, in the case of cracking 

of any of the engine mount pickup 

fittings, result in failure of the fitting, 

leading to a loose connection of the 

engine mount ring and consequent 

reduced control of the airplane. To 

address the unsafe condition, the MCAI 

requires a one-time inspection of the 

affected parts and applicable corrective 

action. The MCAI also requires 

reporting the inspection results to 

Viking. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1821. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Part 1 of Viking 

PSM 1–3–3, DHC–3 Otter Repair 

Manual, dated August 1, 1963. This 

service information specifies procedures 

for determining the damage 

classification and repair limits of any 

structural damage found on an engine 

mount pickup fitting and determining if 

an affected engine mount pickup fitting 

can be repaired or if it should be 

replaced. Although the watermarked 

words ‘‘Uncontrolled for Reference 

Only’’ appear on the title page and each 

page of the table of contents of this 

document, and the watermarked word 

‘‘Uncontrolled’’ appears on each page of 

Part 1 of this document, this is the 

current version. 

The FAA also reviewed Part 1 of 

Viking PSM 1–3–5 DHC–3 Otter 

Supplemental Inspection and Corrosion 

Control Manual, Revision IR, dated 

December 21, 2017 (Viking PSM 1–3–5, 

Revision IR). This service information 

specifies procedures for repairing any 

damaged paint or surface coating of an 

engine mount pickup fitting. 

In addition, the FAA reviewed Viking 

Service Bulletin V3/0012, Revision NC, 

dated January 20, 2022. This service 

information specifies procedures for 

inspecting the upper and lower LHS and 

RHS engine mount pickup fittings, 

reporting the inspection results, and 

performing corrective actions. The 

corrective actions include replacing any 

loose, missing, or broken fastener; and 

replacing any cracked or deformed 

engine mount pickup fitting with a new 

or serviceable part. 

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 ADDRESSES. 

FAA’s Determination 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and service 

information described above. The FAA 

is issuing this NPRM after determining 

that the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other products of the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
61490 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 172 / Thursday, September 7, 2023 / Proposed Rules 

the MCAI, except as discussed under 

‘‘Differences Between this Proposed AD 

and the MCAI.’’ 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI 

The MCAI requires contacting Viking 

for approval of proposed repair 

instructions if any corrosion, wear, or 

fretting damage to any engine mount 

pickup fitting is found and this 

proposed AD would not. This proposed 

AD would require contacting either the 

Manager, International Validation 

Branch, FAA; Transport Canada; or 

Viking’s Transport Canada Design 

Approval Organization (DAO). If 

approved by the DAO, the approval 

must include the DAO-authorized 

signature. 

Where Part 1 of Viking PSM 1–3–5, 

Revision IR, specifies contacting Viking 

if the alloy and condition of an affected 

engine mount pickup fitting cannot be 

identified, this proposed AD would 

require contacting the Manager, 

International Validation Branch, FAA; 

Transport Canada; or Viking’s Transport 

Canada DAO for instructions. If 

approved by the DAO, the approval 

must include the DAO-authorized 

signature. 

Interim Action 

The FAA considers that this proposed 

AD would be an interim action. If final 

action is later identified, the FAA might 

consider further rulemaking. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 65 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Detailed visual inspection of the engine mount pickup fitting.2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ........................ $0 $170 $11,050 

Report results of inspection ................. 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ........................... 0 85 5,525 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary actions that 

would be required based on the results 

of the proposed inspection. The agency 

has no way of determining the number 

of aircraft that might need these actions: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Replace engine mount pickup fitting ................ 4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 (per engine mount pickup fitting).Up to $692 per 

engine 

mount pickup fitting.

Up to $1,032 

per engine 

mount pickup fitting. 

Replace the fastener with a new fastener ....... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ........................................... Negligible ....... $85. 

Perform a detailed visual inspection of the fastener hole.1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ........................................... $0 ................... $85. 

Any repair that may be needed as a 

result of the detailed visual inspection 

of the engine mount pickup fitting could 

vary significantly from airplane to 

airplane. The FAA has no data to 

determine the costs to accomplish the 

repair or the number of airplanes that 

may require repair. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

A federal agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, nor shall a person be subject 

to a penalty for failure to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act unless that collection of 

information displays a current valid 

OMB Control Number. The OMB 

Control Number for this information 

collection is 2120–0056. Public 

reporting for this collection of 

information is estimated to take 

approximately 1 hour per response, 

including the time for reviewing 

instructions, searching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the 

data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

All responses to this collection of 

information are mandatory. Send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including 

suggestions for reducing this burden, to: 

Information Collection Clearance 

Officer, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 10101 Hillwood 

Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177–1524. 

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. 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 172 / Thursday, September 7, 2023 / Proposed Rules 61491 

(2) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate 

Previously Held by Bombardier Inc. and 

de Havilland, Inc.): Docket No. FAA– 

2023–1821; Project Identifier MCAI– 

2022–01045–A. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by October 23, 

2023. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Viking Air Limited 

(type certificate previously held by 

Bombardier Inc. and de Havilland, Inc.) 

Model DHC–3 airplanes, all serial numbers, 

certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) 

Code 7120, Engine Mount Section. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report of 

cracking in the left-hand side (LHS) and 

right-hand side (RHS) lower engine mount 

pickup fittings. The FAA is issuing this AD 

to address cracking in the LHS and RHS 

lower engine mount pickup fittings. The 

unsafe condition, if not addressed, could, in 

the case of cracking of any of the engine 

mount pickup fittings, result in failure of the 

fitting, leading to a loose connection of the 

engine mount ring, which provides main 

support for the engine at the firewall, and 

consequent reduced control of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Required Actions 

(1) Within 6 months after the effective date 

of this AD, do a detailed visual inspection of 

the lower engine mount pickup fittings part 

numbers (P/Ns) C3FS46–7 and C3FS46–8 

and the upper engine mount pickup fittings 

P/Ns C3FS42–5 and C3FS42–6 for cracking, 

deformation (altered form or shape), 

corrosion, fretting or wear, paint or surface 

coating damage (loose, delaminating, flaking, 

peeling, chipping of the coating or paint, 

exposed bare metal, or corroded), and loose, 

missing, or broken fasteners, in accordance 

with Part A, steps 1 through 8, of the 

Accomplishment Instructions in Viking 

Service Bulletin V3/0012, Revision NC, dated 

January 20, 2022 (Viking SB V3/0012). 

(2) If any crack or deformation (altered 

form or shape) of any engine mount pickup 

fitting is found during the detailed visual 

inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of 

this AD, before further flight, replace the 

fitting with a new or serviceable part, in 

accordance with Part A, step 10, of the 

Accomplishment Instructions in Viking SB 

V3/0012. For purposes of this AD, ‘‘new’’ 

means zero hours time-in-service. 

(3) If any paint or surface coating of the 

engine mount pickup fitting is found 

damaged (loose, delaminating, flaking, 

peeling, chipping of the coating or paint, 

exposed bare metal, or corroded) during the 

detailed visual inspection required by 

paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, before further 

flight, repair the fitting in accordance with 

Part 1 of Viking PSM 1–3–5, DHC–3 Otter 

Supplemental Inspection and Corrosion

before further flight, replace the fastener with 

a new fastener, do a detailed visual 

inspection of the fastener hole to detect 

cracking, corrosion, an elongated bore hole, 

bore surface roughness, or other defects 

(abnormalities when compared to a new 

part), and repair any damage found or replace 

the engine mount pickup fitting with a new 

or serviceable part if damage is beyond 

repairable limits, in accordance with Part 1 

of Viking PSM 1–3–3 DHC–3 Otter Repair 

Manual, dated August 1, 1963, and Part A, 

step 9, of the Accomplishment Instructions 

in Viking SB V3/0012.

National Priorities List 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(‘‘CERCLA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’), as amended, 

requires that the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (‘‘NCP’’) include a list 

of national priorities among the known 

releases or threatened releases of 

hazardous substances, pollutants or 

contaminants throughout the United 

States. The National Priorities List 

(‘‘NPL’’) constitutes this list. The NPL is 

intended primarily to guide the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’ or ‘‘the agency’’) in determining 

which sites warrant further 

investigation. These further 

investigations will allow the EPA to 

assess the nature and extent of public 

health and environmental risks 

associated with the site and to 

determine what CERCLA-financed 

remedial action(s), if any, may be 

appropriate. This rule proposes to add 

four sites to the General Superfund 

section of the NPL. 

DATES: Comments regarding any of these 

proposed listings must be submitted 

(postmarked) on or before November 6, 

2023.
