Airworthiness Directives; Fokker 

Services B.V. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 

0070 and 0100 airplanes. This proposed 

AD was prompted by the need for more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations.

revising the maintenance program or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate certain maintenance 

requirement tasks, thresholds, and 

intervals. We are proposing this AD to 

reduce the potential for significant 

failure conditions and consequent loss 

of controllability of the airplane.

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2015–0027, dated February 20, 

2015 (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct 

an unsafe condition for all Fokker 

Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 

and 0100 airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Fokker Services published issue 11 of 

Engineering Report SE–473, containing 

Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMRs). This report is Part 1 of the 

Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS Part 

1) of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness, referred to in Section 06, 

Appendix 1, of the Fokker 70/100 

Maintenance Review Board (MRB) document. 

The complete ALS currently consists of: 

Part 1—Report SE–473 (CMRs), Part 2— 

Report SE–623, Airworthiness Limitation 

Items (ALIs) and Safe Life Items (SLIs), and 

Part 3—Report SE–672, Fuel ALIs and 

Critical Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs). 

The instructions contained in those reports 

have been identified as mandatory actions for 

continued airworthiness. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires implementation of the 

maintenance actions as specified in ALS Part 

1 of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness, Fokker Services Engineering 

Report SE–473 at issue 11. 

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–2016– 

0464. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Fokker Services B.V. has issued 

Engineering Report, Airworthiness 

Limitations Section (ALS), ‘‘Fokker 70/ 

100 Certification Maintenance 

Requirements,’’ of Fokker Services B.V. 

Engineering Report SE–473, Issue 11, 

released January 19, 2015. This service 

information describes certification 

maintenance requirements. 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 these same 

type designs. 

This proposed AD would require 

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)(1) of this proposed AD. 

The request should include a 

description of changes to the required 

actions that will ensure the continued 

operational safety of the airplane. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI or Service Information 

The MCAI specifies that if there are 

findings from the ALS inspection tasks, 

corrective actions must be accomplished 

in accordance with Fokker Services B.V. 

maintenance documentation or by 

contacting Fokker Services B.V. for 

repair instructions, and provides for 

varying compliance times for the 

corrective actions depending on the 

inspection findings. However, this 

proposed AD does not include that 

requirement. Operators of U.S.- 

registered airplanes are required by 

general airworthiness and operational 

regulations to perform all maintenance 

before further flight using methods that 

are acceptable to the FAA. We consider 

those methods to be adequate to address 

any corrective actions necessitated by 

the findings of ALS inspections required 

by this proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 8 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this proposed AD on U.S. operators to 

be $680, or $85 per product. 

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 


wgreen on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
8168 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 32 / Thursday, February 18, 2016 / Proposed Rules 

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. 

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
