Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc., Model DHC–8–102, 

–103, and –106 airplanes; Model DHC– 

8–200 series airplanes; and Model DHC– 

8–300 series airplanes. This proposed 

AD was prompted by a report that a 

certain modification to the auto relight 

system is incompatible with a certain 

beta lockout system modification and 

could result in de-activation of the auto 

ignition feature of the No. 2 engine. This 

proposed AD would require an 

inspection of the auto ignition system 

and applicable rectification. We are 

proposing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products.

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian AD 

CF–2017–21R1, dated June 28, 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–8–102, –103, and –106 

airplanes; Model DHC–8–200 series 

airplanes; and Model DHC–8–300 series 

airplanes. The MCAI states: 

During the incorporation of the Auto 

Relight modification per Bombardier SB 

[Service Bulletin] 8–74–02 on an aeroplane 

with a Beta Lockout System (BLS) installed, 

it was noticed that if SB 8–74–02 is 

incorporated in conjunction with, or after the 

incorporation of BLS SB 8–76–35 ([Canadian] 

AD CF–2013–15) or SB 8–76–24 (FAA AD 

2000–02–13 [Amendment 39–11531 (65 FR 

4095, January 26, 2000)]), the #2 engine auto 

ignition function of the beta lockout system 

will not be available when the beta lockout 

system is activated. This condition, if not 

corrected, may result in a #2 engine 

uncommanded in-flight shut down. 

To preclude any future occurrence of the 

noted deficiency, Bombardier has issued SB 

8–74–02 Revision B to highlight its 

incompatibility with post SB 8–76–35 or 8– 

76–24 BLS compliant aeroplanes. In 

addition, Bombardier issued a new SB, 8–74– 

06 for Auto Relight System modification that 

can be incorporated in conjunction with or 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 141 / Monday, July 23, 2018 / Proposed Rules 34801 

on those aeroplanes that were previously 

modified per SB 8–76–35 or 8–76–24. 

To address this potentially unsafe 

condition, Bombardier has also issued SB 8– 

74–07 to inspect and rectify the system 

wiring on affected aeroplanes. 

The original version of this [Canadian] AD 

was issued to mandate compliance with the 

SB 8–74–07 requirements. 

Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD is issued 

to clarify the Applicability section and 

correct a typographic error in the SB number 

referenced in the Corrective Action section of 

the original [Canadian] AD. 

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– 

0635. 

Related Service Information Under 

1 CFR Part 51 

Bombardier, Inc., has issued Service 

Bulletin 8–74–07, dated April 13, 2016. 

The service information describes an 

inspection to determine correct 

operation of the auto ignition system for 

airplanes on which a beta lockout 

system was installed, and rectification 

to re-activate a previously disabled auto 

ignition system that will address 

inadvertent de-activation of the auto 

ignition feature. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 185 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 

Inspection ............................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......................................... None .............. $85 $15,725 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary on-condition actions that 

would be required based on the results 

of the proposed inspection. We have no 

way of determining the number of 

aircraft that might need this action: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Rectification ..................................... 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ........................................................ $6 $261 

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: 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS1

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– 

0635; Product Identifier 2017–NM–183– 

AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by September 

6, 2018. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc., 

Model DHC–8–102, –103, –106, –201, –202, 

–301, –311, and –315 airplanes, certificated 

in any category, serial numbers 003 through 

540 inclusive, on which Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 8–74–02, dated March 3, 2000; or 

Revision A, dated January 27, 2014; has been 

accomplished concurrently with or after 

accomplishment of Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 8–76–35 or 8–76–24. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 74, Ignition; 76, Engine

lockout system modification and could result 

in de-activation of the auto ignition feature 

of the No. 2 engine. We are issuing this AD 

to prevent unintentional de-activation of the 

auto ignition feature of the No. 2 engine 

when the beta lockout system is activated, 

which could result in an uncommanded inflight shutdown of the No. 2 engine. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Inspection and Corrective Action 

Within 6000 flight hours or 36 months,

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would 

exempt Federal, State, Tribal, and local 

governments from the requirement to

form of security for a right-of-way across 

Indian land and BIA land where such 

governments are prohibited by law from 

obtaining security.

Action, (202) 273–4680; 

elizabeth.appel@bia.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 19, 2015, the Bureau of 

Indian Affairs (BIA) finalized revisions 

to the regulations governing rights-ofway on Indian land and BIA land at 25 

CFR part 169. See 80 FR 72492. The 

regulations became effective on April 

21, 2016. 81 FR 14976. The final 

regulations established new 

requirements for bonding, insurance, or 

alternative form of security to cover the 

annual rental, estimated damages, 

operation and maintenance charges, and 

restoration. See 25 CFR 169.103(a). The 

regulations allow for waiver of this 

requirement on a case-by-case basis. See 

25 CFR 169.103(f). 

Currently, a governmental entity 

applying for a right-of-way across Indian 

land or BIA land must seek a waiver 

(and landowner consent for the waiver) 

from the requirement to provide 

bonding, insurance, or alternate security 

in those cases in which the entity is 

prohibited by law from obtaining such 

bonding, insurance, or alternate 

security. This rule would eliminate the 

need for governmental entities to seek a 

waiver for each instance by exempting 

governmental entities from the
