Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 60 / Friday, March 28, 2014 / Proposed Rules 17455 

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. Amend § 39.13 by adding the 

following new airworthiness directive 

(AD): 

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA–2014– 

0175; Directorate Identifier 2014–NM– 

014–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by May 12, 

2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) 

airplanes, certificated in any category, serial 

numbers 7003 and subsequent. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 55, Stabilizers. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports of the 

possibility that elevator power control unit 

(PCU) shear pins may fail prematurely. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent PCU failure of 

elevator PCU sheer pins. If all pins fail on 

one elevator, the elevator surface would 

become inoperative, which could reduce the 

controllability of the airplane and could 

result in a loss of redundancy for flutter 

prevention. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Repetitive Replacements 

Within 6,600 flight hours or 48 months 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first: Replace the elevator PCU shear 

pins, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 601R–55–008, Revision B, 

dated March 12, 2014. Repeat the 

replacement thereafter at intervals not to 

exceed 6,600 flight hours or 48 months from 

the most recent replacement, whichever 

occurs first. 

(h) Optional Method for Replacement 

Replacing the elevator PCU shear pins, 

using a method approved by the Program 

Manager, Continuing Operational Safety, 

FAA, New York ACO; or Transport Canada 

Civil Aviation (TCCA) (or its delegated agent, 

or the Design Approval Holder (DAH) with 

TCCA design organization approval) as 

applicable, is a method of compliance for any 

replacement required by paragraph (g) of this 

AD. For a replacement method to be 

approved, the replacement approval must 

specifically refer to this AD. 

Note 1 to paragraph (h) of this AD: 

Guidance for doing replacements specified in 

paragraph (h) of this AD may be found in 

Canadair Regional Jet Model CL–600–2B19 

Aircraft Maintenance Manual, CSP A–001, 

Task Number 55–21–27–960–802. 

(i) Credit for Previous Actions 

This paragraph provides credit for action 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD, if the 

action was performed before the effective 

date of this AD using Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 601R–55–008, dated July 12, 2013; 

or Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R–55– 

008, Revision A, dated January 8, 2014, 

which are not incorporated by reference in 

this AD. 

(j) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, New York Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), ANE–170, FAA, 

has the authority to approve AMOCs for this 

AD, if requested using the procedures found 

in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 

39.19, send your request to your principal 

inspector or local Flight Standards District 

Office, as appropriate. If sending information

Before using any approved AMOC, notify 

your appropriate principal inspector, or 

lacking a principal inspector, the manager of 

the local flight standards district office/

certificate holding district office. The AMOC 

approval letter must specifically reference 

this AD. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer, use these actions if they are 

FAA-approved. Corrective actions are 

considered FAA-approved if they were 

approved by the State of Design Authority (or

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company 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 

The Boeing Company Model 787–8 

airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by failure of the anchor 

attachment on the occupant restraint 

system on the standard attendant seat 

due to an undersized attachment fitting. 

This proposed AD would require 

replacing the existing restraint 

attachment fitting on the standard 

attendant seat with a new, improved 

attachment fitting. We are proposing 

this AD to prevent failure of the 

restraint attachment fitting and 

consequent detachment of the attendant 

seat during an emergency landing, 

which could cause injury to passengers 

and crew and could impede a rapid 

evacuation. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 12, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

We invite you to send any written 

relevant data, views, or arguments about 

this proposal. Send your comments to 

an address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA– 

2014–0168; Directorate Identifier 2013– 

NM–208–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this proposed AD. We will 

consider all comments received by the 

closing date and may amend this 

proposed AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

We received a report of failure of the 

anchor attachment on the occupant 

restraint system on the standard 

attendant seat due to an undersized 

attachment fitting. This condition, if not 

corrected, could result in failure of the 

restraint attachment fitting and 

consequent detachment of the attendant 

seat during an emergency landing, 

which would cause injury to passengers 

and crew and could impede a rapid 

evacuation. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 

B787–81205–SB250027–00, Issue 001, 

dated January 14, 2014. We have also 

reviewed UTC Aerospace Systems 

Service Bulletin 2787–25–006, Revision 

B, dated July 10, 2013. The service 

information describes procedures for 

replacing the existing restraint 

attachment fitting to seat joint fitting on 

the standard attendant’s seat with a 

new, improved attachment fitting. 

FAA’s Determination 

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 in other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 1 airplane 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 ........................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......................................... $0 $85 $85 

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. 

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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 787–8 

airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a report indicating that, on 

a different Boeing airplane model, there 

was an oxygen-fed fire, which caused 

extensive damage to the flight deck. 

This proposed AD would require 

replacing the low-pressure oxygen hoses 

with non-conductive hoses in the crew 

oxygen system. We are proposing this 

AD to prevent inadvertent electrical 

current from passing through an 

internal, anti-collapse spring of the low 

pressure oxygen hose, which can cause 

the low-pressure oxygen hose to melt or 

burn, leading to an oxygen-fed fire and/ 

or smoke beneath the flight 

compartment in the forward electronics 

equipment bay. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 12, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
