AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2C10 

(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) 

airplanes, Model CL–600–2D15 

(Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, 

Model CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet 

Series 900) airplanes, and Model CL– 

600–2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by a 

determination that for certain slat 

system failure cases, the resulting slat 

skew could lead to failure of the slat 

system. This AD requires replacing 

certain locking plates with certain antimigration assemblies on certain left and 

right wing slats. We are issuing this AD 

to prevent failure of the eccentric pins 

at the slat track attachment, and slat 

panels consequently disconnecting from 

the wing, leading to the loss of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 

21, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of May 21, 2014.

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 

CL–600–2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 

701, & 702) airplanes, Model CL–600– 

2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, 

Model CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet 

Series 900) airplanes, and Model CL– 

600–2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on January 2, 2014 (79 

FR 70). 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
21388 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 73 / Wednesday, April 16, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the airworthiness 

authority for Canada, has issued 

Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF– 

2013–31, dated October 8, 2013 

(referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition. The MCAI states: 

It was discovered that for certain slat 

system jam-disconnect failure cases, the 

resulting slat skew could lead to failure of the 

eccentric pin at the slat track 3–3 attachment. 

If the pin migrates out of the attachment lugs, 

this could cause the No. 3 slat panels to 

disconnect from the wing and could lead to 

the loss of the aeroplane. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

replacement of the locking plate with an antimigration assembly on both the left and right 

No. 3 slats. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-1069- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 70, January 2, 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 NPRM (79 FR 70, 

January 2, 2014) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 70, 

January 2, 2014). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 401 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 9 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 $780 per product. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

on U.S. operators to be $619,545, or 

$1,545 per product. 

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.

indicating that the butt-joints on the 

forward fuselage above the passenger 

door are subject to widespread fatigue 

damage (WFD). This AD requires 

inspecting the forward fuselage buttjoints for cracking, repairing any crack, 

and eventually doing a terminating 

repair. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent fatigue cracking of such buttjoints, which could result in reduced 

structural integrity of the airplane and 

in-flight decompression of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective May

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 Fokker Services B.V. 

Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on October 23, 2013 

(78 FR 63132). The NPRM was 

prompted by an evaluation by the DAH 

indicating that the butt-joints on the 

forward fuselage above the passenger 

door are subject to WFD. The NPRM 

proposed to require inspecting the 

forward fuselage butt-joints for cracking, 

repairing any crack, and eventually 

doing a terminating repair. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent fatigue 

cracking of such butt-joints, which 

could result in reduced structural 

integrity of the airplane and in-flight 

decompression of the airplane. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2012–0218, 

dated October 19, 2012 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing
