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 

removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2007–16–08, Amendment 39–15147 (72 

FR 44728, August 9, 2007), and adding 

the following new AD: 

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 

2015–0498; Directorate Identifier 2014– 

NM–152–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

AD action by May 14, 2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD replaces AD 2007–16–08, 

Amendment 39–15147 (72 FR 44728, August 

9, 2007). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Boeing Model 747– 

100, 747–100B, 747–100B SUD, 747–200B, 

747–200C, 747–300, 747–400, 747–400D, and 

747SR series airplanes, certificated in any 

category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 53, Fuselage. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of cracks 

found on the station 800 frame on the leftside and right-side main entry doors (MED), 

at the forward and aft inner chord strap and 

angles, which are outside the inspection area 

of AD 2007–16–08, Amendment 39–15147 

(72 FR 44728, August 9, 2007). We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue 

cracks that could extend and fully sever the 

frame, which could result in development of 

skin cracks that could lead to rapid 

depressurization of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Inspections of Station 800 Frame 

Assembly Between Stringer 14 and Stringer 

30 

Except as required by paragraph (i) of this 

AD, at the applicable time specified in 

paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing 

Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2451, 

Revision 2, dated June 13, 2014: Do a 

detailed inspection for cracking in the inner 

chord strap, angles, and exposed web 

adjacent to the inner chords, and do surface 

and open hole high-frequency eddy current 

(HFEC) inspections for cracking in the inner 

chord strap and angles of the station 800 

frame assembly between stringer 14 and 

stringer 30, in accordance with the

Bulletin 747–53A2451, Revision 2, dated 

June 13, 2014. 

(h) Repair of Cracking 

If any cracking is found during any 

inspection required by paragraph (g) of this 

AD, before further flight, repair the cracking 

using a method approved in accordance with 

the procedures specified in paragraph (k) of 

this AD. 

(i) Exception to the Service Information 

(1) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

747–53A2451, Revision 2, dated June 13, 

2014, specifies a compliance time ‘‘after the 

Revision 2 date of this service bulletin,’’ this 

AD requires compliance within the specified 

time after the effective date of this AD. 

(2) The Condition column of paragraph 

1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of the Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 747–53A2451, Revision 2,

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model BD–700–1A10 

and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by a report 

of several events where pilots 

experienced difficulty in lateral control 

of the airplane after doing a climb 

through heavy rain conditions and a 

determination that the cause was water 

ingress in the aileron control pulley 

assembly. This proposed AD would 

require, for certain airplanes, inspecting 

for correct clearance and rework if 

necessary, and, for certain other 

airplanes, installing a cover for the 

aileron pulley assembly. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent water 

ingress in the aileron control pulley 

assembly, which could freeze in cold 

conditions and result in reduced control 

of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 14, 2015.

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–23, 

dated July 18, 2014 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD– 

700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

There have been several reports whereby 

pilots have experienced difficulty in lateral 

control following climb through heavy rain 

conditions. In each event, the pilots were 

able to overcome this difficulty without 

disconnecting the aileron control. An 

investigation has determined that the root 

cause of the restricted movement of the 

aileron was due to water ingress into the 

wing root aileron control pulley assembly 

through a gap on the wing-to-fuselage fairing 

resulting in freezing of the aileron control 

system. 

If not corrected, this condition could result 

in reduced lateral control of the aeroplane. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates [for certain 

airplanes] the incorporation of a cover for the 

aileron pulley assembly [and inspection and 

rework if necessary] to prevent water ingress 

in the aileron control pulley assembly [and 

for certain other airplanes, mandates an 

inspection and rework if necessary]. 

The inspection involves doing a 

general visual inspection for correct 

clearance. 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– 

0676. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier has issued the following 

service information: 

• Service Bulletin 700–1A11–27–034, 

Revision 04, dated September 4, 2014; 

• Service Bulletin 700–27–076, 

Revision 04, dated September 4, 2014; 

• Service Bulletin 700–27–5004, 

Revision 04, dated September 4, 2014; 

and 

• Service Bulletin 700–27–6004, 

Revision 04, dated September 4, 2014. 

This service information describes 

procedures, for certain airplanes, for 

installing a cover for the No. 1 aileron 

pulley, including an inspection for 

correct clearance and rework, and for 

certain other airplanes, for an inspection 

for correct clearance and rework. The 

actions described in this service 

information are intended to correct the 

unsafe condition identified in the 

MCAI. This service information is 

reasonably available; see ADDRESSES for 

ways to access this service information. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 60 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 9 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this proposed AD on U.S. operators to 

be $45,900, or $765 per product. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this proposed 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
16610 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 60 / Monday, March 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

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 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; 

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: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

an amendment to the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by 

the State of Missouri on October 17, 

2013, related to the Missouri rule 

‘‘Control of Sulfur Emissions from 

Stationary Boilers.’’ The SIP revision is 

administrative and provides clarity on 

the applicability of emission limits and 

removes definitions originally included 

in this rule which have been moved to 

the ‘‘Definitions and Common Reference 

Tables’’ rule. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

April 29, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

proposing to approve an amendment to 

the SIP submitted by the State of 

Missouri on October 17, 2013, related to 

Missouri rule 10 CSR 10–5.570 ‘‘Control 

of Sulfur Emissions from Stationary 

Boilers.’’ The SIP revision is 

administrative and provides clarity on 

the applicability of emission limits 

specified at 10 CSR 10–5.570(3)(A)2. 

Additionally, the amendment removes 

definitions originally included in 10 

CSR 10–5.570 which have been moved 

to 10 CSR 10.6.020 ‘‘Definitions and 

Common Reference Tables’’. 

In the final rules section of the 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

state’s SIP revision as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

revision amendment and anticipates no 

relevant adverse comments to this 

action. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no relevant adverse comments 

are received in response to this action, 

no further activity is contemplated in 

relation to this action. If EPA receives 

relevant adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on part of 

this rule and if that part can be severed 

from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 

adopt as final those parts of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the rules section of this Federal 

Register.
