Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian AD 

CF–2018–02, dated January 16, 2018 

(referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

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

condition 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. The MCAI states: 

Five cases of fractured Main Landing Gear 

(MLG) Orifice Support Tube (OST) have been 

reported. Subsequent analysis determined 

that the MLG OST is unable to withstand the 

loads generated during a hard landing event. 

A MLG OST fracture cannot be detected 

during routine maintenance and if not 

corrected, a fractured MLG OST can lead to 

aeroplane structural damage and/or collapse 

of the MLG. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

replacement of the existing MLG OSTs with 

a re-designed part, and the implementation of 

a new airworthiness limitation task. 

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– 

0634. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier has issued Service 

Bulletin SB 670BA–32–058, dated 

September 26, 2016. The service 

information describes procedures for 

replacing each MLG OST. 

Bombardier has also issued 

Temporary Revision ALI–0593, dated 

December 18, 2017. The service 

information describes new life limits for 

the MLG OSTs. 

These service information are 

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 

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 the 

relevant information and determined 

the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other products of the same type 

design. 

This AD requires revisions to certain 

operator maintenance documents to 

include new actions (e.g., inspections). 

Compliance with these actions is 

required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For 

airplanes that have been previously 

modified, altered, or repaired in the 

areas addressed by this proposed AD, 

the operator may not be able to 

accomplish the actions described in the 

revisions. In this situation, to comply 

with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator 

must request approval for an alternative 

method of compliance according to 

paragraph (i) of this proposed AD. The 

request should include a description of 

changes to the required actions that will 

ensure the continued damage tolerance 

of the affected structure. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

replacing the MLG OST and revising the 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or more 

restrictive maintenance requirements 

and airworthiness limitations. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 542 airplanes of U.S. registry. We 

estimate the following costs to comply 

with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Replacement (left- and right-hand sides) ....... 24 work-hours × $85 per hour = $2,040 ........ * $0 $2,040 $1,105,680 

* We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide cost estimates for the parts cost in this AD. 

We have determined that revising the 

maintenance or inspection program 

takes an average of 90 work-hours per 

operator, although we recognize that 

this number may vary from operator to 

operator. In the past, we have estimated 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 134 / Thursday, July 12, 2018 / Proposed Rules 32217 

that this action takes 1 work-hour per 

airplane. Since operators incorporate 

maintenance or inspection program 

changes for their affected fleet(s), we 

have determined that a per-operator 

estimate is more accurate than a perairplane estimate. Therefore, we 

estimate the total cost per operator to be 

$7,650 (90 work-hours × $85 per workhour). 

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 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
