ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model BD–100–1A10 

(Challenger 300) airplanes. This AD was 

prompted by multiple reports of chafing 

found on an electrical wiring harness in 

the aft equipment bay, caused by 

contact between the wiring harness and 

a neighboring hydraulic line. This AD 

requires an inspection, repair if 

necessary, and modification of the 

wiring harness installation to ensure 

that the wiring harness routing is correct 

and a minimum clearance between the 

wire and the hydraulic line is 

maintained. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct chafing on an 

electrical wiring harness, which could 

cause an electrical short circuit or lead 

to a malfunction of the flight control 

system, the engine indication system, or 

the hydraulic power control system; and 

adversely affect the continued safe 

operation and landing of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

December 22, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of December 22, 2015.

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 

BD–100–1A10 (Challenger 300) 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on May 8, 2015 (80 FR 

26490). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–32, 

dated September 8, 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– 

100–1A10 (Challenger 300) airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

There have been multiple in-service 

reports of chafing found on an electrical 

wiring harness in the aft equipment bay. An 

investigation determined that the chafing was 

attributed to contact between the wiring 

harness and a neighboring hydraulic line. 

This chafing could cause an electrical short 

circuit or lead to a malfunction of the flight 

control system, the engine indication system, 

or the hydraulic power control system; which 

could adversely affect the continued safe 

operation and landing of the aeroplane. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

inspection [general visual inspection], 

rectification as required [repair of damage 

(including wear and chafing)], and 

modification of the wiring harness 

installation to ensure the correct wiring 

routing and a minimum clearance between 

the wire and the hydraulic line is 

maintained. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2015-0929- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (80 

FR 26490, May 8, 2015) 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 (80 FR 

26490, May 8, 2015) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (80 FR 26490, 

May 8, 2015). 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service 

Bulletin 100–24–24, dated June 6, 2014. 

The service information describes 

procedures for an inspection, repair if 

necessary, and modification of the 

wiring harness installation to prevent 

contact with the hydraulic line. 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 the ADDRESSES section of 

this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 107 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 4 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 $64 per product. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

on U.S. operators to be $43,228, or $404 

per product. 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide cost 

estimates for the on-condition actions 

specified in this AD. We have no way 

of determining the number of aircraft 

that might need these actions. 

According to the manufacturer, all 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 221 / Tuesday, November 17, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 71685 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Congress enacted the Fair Packaging 

and Labeling Act, 15 U.S.C. 1451 et seq., 

(‘‘FPLA’’ or ‘‘Act’’) in 1966 to enable 

consumers to obtain accurate package 

quantity information to facilitate value 

comparisons and prevent unfair or 

deceptive packaging and labeling of 

‘‘consumer commodities.’’ 1 Pursuant to 

the FPLA, the Commission promulgated 

the Rules, which generally concern 

products consumed during household 

use. However, several categories of these 

products are exempt from FTC 

regulations under the FPLA.2 Moreover, 

the FTC has excluded certain others 

from the Rules.3

Section 1453 of the Act directs the 

Commission to issue regulations 

requiring that all ‘‘consumer 

commodities’’ be labeled to disclose: (a) 

The identity of the commodity (e.g., 

detergent, sponges), which must appear 

on the principal display panel of the 

commodity in conspicuous type and 

position so that identity is easy to read 

and understand; 4 (b) the name and 

place of business of the product’s 

manufacturer, packer, or distributor; 5

and (c) the net quantity of contents in 

terms of weight, measure, or numerical 

count, with such disclosure’s placement 

and content in accordance with the 

Rules.6 The Rules detail how units of 

weight or mass and measure must be 

stated, and require use of both U.S. (e.g., 

pounds, feet, and gallons) and metric 

measures.7 The Rules also require net 

quantity disclosures for packages 

containing more than one product or 

unit, including: (a) ‘‘multi-unit 

packages’’; 8 (b) ‘‘variety packages’’; 9

and (c) ‘‘combination packages.’’ 10

In addition, the Act grants the FTC 

authority to issue rules to prevent 

consumer deception and facilitate value 

comparisons.11 The FTC has used this 

authority to address three types of 

representations: ‘‘cents-off,’’ 12

‘‘introductory offer,’’ 13 and ‘‘economy 

size.’’ 14

As part of its ongoing regulatory 

review program, the Commission 

published an Advance Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (‘‘ANPR’’) in 

March 2014 seeking comment on the 

economic impact of, and the continuing 

need for, the Rules; the benefits of the
