Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian AD 

CF–2016–40, dated December 15, 2016; 

and Canadian AD CF–2018–06, dated 

February 19, 2018; to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., 

Model CL–600–2B16 (CL–604 Variants) 

airplanes. Canadian AD CF–2016–40 

and Canadian AD CF–2018–06 are 

referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI.’’ 

Canadian AD CF–2016–40 states: 

Several operators have reported a burning 

odor and smoke emanating from the cockpit 

floodlights. Bombardier Aerospace (BA) has 

determined the cause to be fluid entering into 

the cockpit floodlight fixtures causing short 

circuits and damage to electrical 

components. If not corrected, this condition 

may result in a fire in the cockpit. 

This [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate 

the installation of a new gasket seal on the 

floodlight fixture. 

Canadian AD CF–2018–06 states: 

[Canadian] AD CF–2016–40, applicable to 

Bombardier Inc. model CL–600–2B16 (604 

[CL–604 Variants serial numbers 5301 

through 5665 inclusive] and 605 [CL–604 

Variants serial numbers 5701 through 5988 

inclusive] variants) aeroplanes, was issued to 

address the potential of water penetrating 

into cockpit floodlight fixtures. A similar 

condition exists on the CL–600–2B16 (650 

variant [CL–604 Variants serial numbers 6050 

through 6070 inclusive]) aeroplanes. This 

condition can cause short circuits and 

damage to electrical components, which may 

result in a fire in the cockpit. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

installation of gasket seals on the pilot and 

co-pilot floodlight fixtures to prevent fluid 

from entering them. 

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–2018– 

0550. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier has issued the following 

service information: 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 604– 

33–007, Revision 02, dated October 2, 

2017. 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 605– 

33–005, Revision 02, dated October 2, 

2017. 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 650– 

33–001, Revision 03, dated October 2, 

2017. 

The service information describes 

procedures to install a new gasket seal 

on floodlight fixtures. These documents 

are distinct since they apply to different 

configurations of the same airplane 

model. The 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. 

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 these same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 123 airplanes of U.S. registry. We 

estimate the following costs to comply 

with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Up to 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = Up to $170 .................................. $0 Up to $170 ...................................... Up to $20,910. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

or all 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 known 

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, 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 121 / Friday, June 22, 2018 / Proposed Rules 29063 

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. 

This proposed AD is issued in 

accordance with authority delegated by 

the Executive Director, Aircraft 

Certification Service, as authorized by 

FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance 

with that order, issuance of ADs is 

normally a function of the Compliance 

and Airworthiness Division, but during 

this transition period, the Executive 

Director has delegated the authority to 

issue ADs applicable to transport 

category airplanes to the Director of the 

System Oversight Division. 

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. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in title 

49 of the United States Code. 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. This proposed rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority, as it would 

establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Chebeague Island Heliport, 

Chebeague Island, ME, to support 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for IFR operations at this 

heliport.
