of the MRBR. 

(4) After accomplishing the actions 

specified in paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(3) of this 

AD, no alternative inspections, inspection 

intervals, or CDCCLs may be used unless the 

inspections, intervals, or CDCCLs are part of 

a later revision of Appendix 2 of the MRBR 

that is approved by the Manager, ANM–116, 

FAA, or ANAC (or its delegated agent); or 

unless the inspections, intervals, or CDCCLs 

are approved as an alternative method of 

compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the 

procedures specified in paragraph (g) of this 

AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: The 

MCAI specifies a compliance date of ‘‘Before 

December 31, 2008’’ for doing the ALI 

revisions. We have already issued regulations 

that require operators to revise their 

maintenance/inspection programs to address 

fuel tank safety issues. The compliance date 

for these regulations is December 16, 2008. 

To provide for coordinated implementation 

of these regulations and this AD, we are 

using this same compliance date in this AD. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(g) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

any approved AMOC on any airplane to 

which the AMOC applies, notify your 

appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the 

FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), 

or lacking a PI, your local FSDO. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service. 

(3) Reporting Requirements: For any 

reporting requirement in this AD, under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 

the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 

has approved the information collection 

requirements and has assigned OMB Control 

Number 2120–0056.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

AD results from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

Following in-flight test deployments, 

several Air-Driven generators (ADGs) failed 

to come on-line. Investigation revealed that, 

as a result of a wiring anomaly that had not 

been detected during ADG manufacture, a 

short circuit was possible between certain 

internal wires and their metallic over-braided 

shields, which could result in the ADG not 

providing power when deployed. * * * 

The unsafe condition is that failure of 

the ADG could lead to loss of several 

functions essential for safe flight. The 

proposed AD would require actions that 

are intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 6, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2008–09, 

dated February 5, 2008 (referred to after 

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

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

Following in-flight test deployments, several 

Air-Driven generators (ADGs) failed to come 

on-line. Investigation revealed that, as a 

result of a wiring anomaly that had not been 

detected during ADG manufacture, a short 

circuit was possible between certain internal 

wires and their metallic over-braided shields, 

which could result in the ADG not providing 

power when deployed. This directive 

mandates checking of the ADG and 

modification of the ADG internal wiring, if 

required. It also prohibits future installation 

of unmodified ADGs. 

The unsafe condition is that failure of 

the ADG could lead to loss of several 

functions essential for safe flight. You 

may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Bombardier has issued Service 

Bulletin 601R–24–113, Revision A, 

dated August 11, 2005. The actions 

described in this service information are 

intended to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. 

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. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have proposed 

different actions in this AD from those 

in the MCAI in order to follow FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a NOTE within the 

proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 686 products of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it would 

take about 5 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $80 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $0 per product. 

Where the service information lists 

required parts costs that are covered 

under warranty, we have assumed that 

there will be no charge for these costs. 

As we do not control warranty coverage 

for affected parties, some parties may 

incur costs higher than estimated here. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of the proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $274,400, or $400 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 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); and 

3. 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 proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

1 The comment must be accompanied by an 

explicit request for confidential treatment, 

including the factual and legal basis for the request, 

and must identify the specific portions of the 

comment to be withheld from the public record. 

The request will be granted or denied by the 

Commission’s General Counsel, consistent with 

applicable law and the public interest. See 

Commission Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c) (2008). 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 24: Electrical Power. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

Following in-flight test deployments, 

several Air-Driven generators (ADGs) failed 

to come on-line. Investigation revealed that, 

as a result of a wiring anomaly that had not 

been detected during ADG manufacture, a 

short circuit was possible between certain 

internal wires and their metallic over-braided 

shields, which could result in the ADG not 

providing power when deployed. This 

directive mandates checking of the ADG and 

modification of the ADG internal wiring, if 

required. It also prohibits future installation 

of unmodified ADGs. 

The unsafe condition is that failure of the 

ADG could lead to loss of several functions 

essential for safe flight. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) For airplanes having serial number (SN) 

7305 through 7990 and 8000 through 8083: 

Within 12 months after the effective date of 

this AD, inspect the SN of the installed ADG. 

A review of airplane maintenance records is 

acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the 

serial number of the ADG can be 

conclusively determined from that review. 

(i) If the serial number is not listed in 

paragraph 1.A of Bombardier Service Bulletin 

601R–24–113, Revision A, dated August 11, 

2005, no further action is required by this 

AD. 

(ii) If the serial number is listed in 

paragraph 1.A of Bombardier Service Bulletin 

601R–24–113, Revision A, dated August 11, 

2005, before further flight, inspect the ADG 

identification plate and, as applicable, do the 

actions of paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(A) or (f)(1)(ii)(B) 

of this AD. 

(A) If the identification plate is marked 

with the symbol ‘‘24–2’’, no further action is 

required by this AD. 

(B) If the identification plate is not marked 

with the symbol ‘‘24–2’’, modify the ADG 

wiring in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of the service 

bulletin. 

(2) For airplanes having SN 7305 through 

7990 and 8000 and subsequent: As of the 

effective date of this AD, no ADG as 

described in Table 1 of this AD may be 

installed on any airplane, unless the 

identification plate of the ADG is identified 

with the symbol ‘‘24–2’’ (refer to Hamilton 

Sundstrand Service Bulletin ERPS10AG–24–

2 for further information).

0745, 0747 through 1005, or 1400 through 1439. 

(3) Actions done before the effective date 

of this AD according to Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 601R–24–113, dated April 22, 2004, 

are considered acceptable for compliance 

with the corresponding actions specified in 

this AD, provided the ADG has not been 

replaced since those actions were done.
