Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2017–30, 

dated August 30, 2017 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model 

DHC–8–300 series airplanes. The MCAI 

states: 

An operator has reported the inability to 

open the Forward Right Hand Type I 

emergency exit door with either the internal 

or external handle during maintenance. 

Investigation has determined that the handle 

was found to be jammed due to corroded 

center and lower shaft ball bearings. 

Condensation has been found to be the root 

cause of the Forward Right Hand Type I 

emergency exit door hardware corrosion. 

Other Forward Right Hand Type I emergency 

exit door ball bearings are also susceptible to 

corrosion. Inability to open the Forward 

Right Hand Type I emergency exit door 

during an emergency evacuation may impede 

aircraft egress. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

inspection for corrosion and replacement, as 

required, of all Forward Right Hand Type I 

emergency exit door ball bearings, and the 

application of corrosion inhibiting 

compound (CIC), to ensure that the Forward 

Right Hand Type I emergency exit door can 

be opened when required. 

Required actions also include an 

inspection of the emergency exit door 

ball bearings for seal damage and loss of 

lubricant and revision of the 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable. 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– 

0586. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier has issued the following 

service information: 

• Service Bulletin 8–52–65, dated 

July 26, 2017, which describes 

procedures for a detailed inspection of 

the forward right-hand type 1 

emergency exit door ball bearings for 

corrosion, seal damage, and loss of 

lubricant; applying CIC; and replacing 

emergency exit door ball bearings if 

necessary. 

• Maintenance Review Board (MRB) 

Task 5220/12 (‘‘Servicing of Forward 

RH Emergency Exit Mechanisms’’), 

dated March 15, 2017, of the DHC–8– 

300 Series Maintenance Program 

Support Manual (PSM) 1–83–7, which 

describes procedures for servicing the 

forward right-hand emergency exit door 

mechanisms. 

• Temporary Revision (TR) 54–042, 

dated April 10, 2018, to the DHC–8–300 

Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), 

which describes procedures for 

servicing the type 1 emergency exit door 

mechanisms. 

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. 

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. 

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 (j)(1) 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. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI 

The MCAI requires the incorporation 

of MRB Task 5220/12 (‘‘Servicing of 

Forward RH Emergency Exit 

Mechanisms’’) into the maintenance 

program. That task refers to the AMM 

for certain procedures, which have been 

updated. We understand that the MCAI 

does not require the updated AMM 

procedures because, unlike U.S. 

operators, Canadian operators are 

already required to use the most current 

AMM procedures. Therefore, this 

proposed AD would also require the 

incorporation of Bombardier TR 54–042, 

dated April 10, 2018, which includes 

the updated AMM procedures. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 16 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD: 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS
31498 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 130 / Friday, July 6, 2018 / Proposed Rules 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 .......................................................................................... $0 $255 $4,080 

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 

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). 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary on-condition actions that 

would be required based on the results 

of any required actions. We have no way 

of determining the number of aircraft 

that might need these on-condition 

actions:

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 

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. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA–2018– 

0586; Product Identifier 2017–NM–151– 

AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by August 20, 

2018. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc., 

Model DHC–8–301, –311, and –315 

airplanes, certificated in any category, serial 

numbers 100 through 672 inclusive. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 52, Doors. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports 

indicating that the forward right-hand type I 

emergency exit door could not be opened 

during maintenance. An investigation 

determined that the exit door handle was 

jammed due to corroded center and lower 

shaft ball bearings. We are issuing this AD to 

address corrosion of the emergency exit door 

ball bearings, which could result in the 

inability to open the emergency exit door 

during an emergency evacuation and 

consequently impede airplane egress. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Revision of Maintenance or Inspection 

Program 

Within 60 days after the effective date of 

this AD: Revise the maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate Maintenance Review Board Task 

5220/12 (‘‘Servicing of Forward RH 

Emergency Exit Mechanisms’’), dated March 

15, 2017, of the DHC–8–300 Series 

Maintenance Program Support Manual (PSM) 

1–83–7; and Temporary Revision 54–042, 

dated April 10, 2018, to the DHC–8–300 

Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM). The 

initial compliance time for doing the task is

whichever occurs first, after the effective date 

of this AD: Do a detailed inspection of all ball 

bearings of the forward right-hand type I 

emergency exit for corrosion, seal damage, 

and loss of lubricant; replace bearings as 

applicable; and apply corrosion inhibiting 

compound (CIC); in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 8–52–65, dated July 26, 

2017. Do all applicable replacements before 

further flight. 

(i) No Alternative Actions or Intervals 

After the maintenance or inspection 

program has been revised as required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative 

actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals may be 

used unless the actions and intervals are 

approved as an alternative method of 

compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the 

procedures specified in paragraph (j)(1) of 

this AD. 

(j) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017–16– 

07, which applies to certain Airbus 

Model A330–200, A330–200 Freighter, 

A330–300, A340–500, and A340–600 

series airplanes; and Model A340–313 

airplanes. AD 2017–16–07 requires 

inspection of the fuselage bulk cargo 

door frames at specific locations, and 

corrective action if necessary. Since we 

issued AD 2017–16–07, it was 

determined that only airplanes having 

certain manufacturer serial numbers 

(MSNs) are affected by tartaric sulfuric 

anodizing (TSA)/chromic acid 

anodizing (CAA) surface treatment in 

the door fitting attachment holes, and 

that airplanes having certain MSNs were 

excluded. This proposed AD is intended 

to complete certain mandated programs 

intended to support the airplane 

reaching its limit of validity (LOV) of 

the engineering data that support the 

established structural maintenance 

program. This proposed AD would 

require new inspections of certain 

attachment holes for residual surface 

treatment and cracking, and corrective 

action if necessary; and would provide 

an optional terminating action for the 

inspections. The proposed AD would 

also revise the applicability to add 

certain airplanes and remove others. We 

are proposing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by August 20, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
