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 airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 17, 2018 (83 FR 2373) (‘‘the 

NPRM’’). The NPRM was prompted by 

a report indicating that certain lanyards 

for the passenger oxygen masks located 

in the airplane’s entry area are too long. 

The NPRM proposed to require 

replacement of certain oxygen mask 

lanyards with shorter lanyards. We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct 

lanyards that are too long, which might 

result in difficulties starting the flow of 

oxygen in an emergency. 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian AD 

CF–2017–22, dated June 23, 2017 

(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 airplanes. The 

MCAI states: 

Bombardier, Inc., has discovered that the 

entry area passenger oxygen mask lanyards 

are too long. Upon deployment during an 

emergency, this may result in difficulties to 

start the oxygen flow for tall individuals. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

replacement of the existing entry area 

passenger oxygen mask lanyards with shorter 

ones for proper operation. 

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–2017– 

1247. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Match Compliance Time in 

the Service Information 

Bombardier noted that the compliance 

time in paragraph (g) of the proposed 

AD was ‘‘Within 36 months after the 

effective date of this AD,’’ whereas 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 100–35–08, 

dated April 11, 2017, includes a 

compliance time of within ‘‘36 months 

from this Service Bulletin release date 

(Basic Issue)’’. We infer that the 

commenter is requesting that the 

compliance time in paragraph (g) of the 

proposed AD be changed to match what 

is in the service information. 

We do not agree with the commenter’s 

request. In developing an appropriate 

compliance time for this AD, we 

considered the degree of urgency 

associated with addressing the unsafe 

condition and the manufacturer’s 

recommendation for an appropriate 

compliance time, as well as the time 

required for the rulemaking process. In 

consideration of these factors, we find 

that the compliance time, as proposed, 

represents an appropriate interval in 

which to replace the affected oxygen 

mask lanyards, while still maintaining 

an adequate level of safety. Operators 

are always permitted to accomplish the 

requirements of an AD at a time earlier 

than the specified compliance time. We 

have not changed this AD regarding this 

issue. 

Request To Correct Typographical 

Error 

Bombardier requested that a part 

number in paragraph (g) of the proposed 

AD be corrected. Paragraph (g) of the 

proposed AD specified the replacement 

of lanyards having a certain part number 

with new lanyards having part number 

P/N 289–65–10. The correct part 

number for the new lanyards is P/N 

289–165–10. 

We agree with the commenter’s 

request and have revised paragraph (g) 

of this AD to include the correct part 

number for the new lanyards, P/N 289– 

165–10, which is specified in 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 100–35–08, 

dated April 11, 2017. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 20, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 28537 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier has issued Service 

Bulletin 100–35–08, dated April 11, 

2017. This service information describes 

procedures for replacing the lanyards in 

the passenger oxygen masks located in 

the passenger entry area. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 187 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate 

the following costs to comply with this 

AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 .............................................................................................. (1) $85 $15,895 

1We have received no definitive data that will enable us to provide cost estimates for the required parts. 

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 available 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. 

This 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 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.

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

2018–13–04 Bombardier, Inc. Amendment 

39–19316; Docket No. FAA–2017–1247; 

Product Identifier 2017–NM–085–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective July 25, 2018. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc., 

Model BD–100–1A10 airplanes, certificated 

in any category, serial numbers 20003 

through 20424 inclusive and 20426 through 

20500 inclusive. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 35, Oxygen. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a report 

indicating that certain lanyards for the 

passenger oxygen masks located in the 

airplane’s entry area are too long. The length 

of the oxygen mask lanyard might cause the 

safety pin tethered to the opposite end of the 

lanyard to remain engaged in the oxygen flow 

mechanism when the mask is pulled to the 

passenger’s face. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct lanyards that are too long, 

which might result in difficulties starting the 

flow of oxygen in an emergency. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Lanyard Replacement 

Within 36 months after the effective date 

of this AD: For any entry area passenger 

oxygen mask dispensing unit (POMDU) 

having part number (P/N) 833–830–01, 

replace the lanyards in the POMDU with new 

lanyards having P/N 289–165–10, in 

accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 

100–35–08, dated April 11, 2017.
