Airworthiness Directives; Fokker 

Services B.V. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Fokker Services B.V. Model F.27 Mark 

200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by a 

design review conducted by Fokker 

Services B.V. that indicated no 

controlled bonding provisions were 

present on many critical locations 

outside the fuel tank or connected to the 

fuel tank wall. This AD requires 

installing the additional bonding 

provisions, and revising the 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, by incorporating fuel 

airworthiness limitation items and 

critical design configuration control 

limitations. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent an ignition source in the fuel 

tank vapor space, which could result in 

a fuel tank explosion and consequent 

loss of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 

4, 2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of April 4, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to all Fokker Services B.V. Model 

F.27 Mark 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 

700 airplanes. The NPRM published in 

the Federal Register on September 18, 

2015 (80 FR 56413) (‘‘the NPRM’’). 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0100, dated April 30, 

2014 (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.27 Mark 200, 300, 

400, 500, 600, and 700 airplanes. The 

MCAI states: 

Prompted by an accident * * *, the FAA 

published Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation (SFAR) 88 [(66 FR 23086, May 7, 

2001)], and the Joint Aviation Authorities 

(JAA) published Interim Policy INT/POL/25/ 

12. 

The review conducted by Fokker Services 

on the Fokker 27 design in response to these 

regulations revealed that no controlled 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 39 / Monday, February 29, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 10071 

bonding provisions are present on a number 

of critical locations outside the fuel tanks. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

create an ignition source in the fuel tank 

vapour space, possibly resulting in a fuel 

tank explosion and consequent loss of the 

aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Fokker Services developed a set of bonding 

modifications, introduced with [a service 

bulletin] * * *, that do[es] not require 

opening of the fuel tank access panels. 

More information on this subject can be 

found in Fokker Services All Operators 

Message AOF27.043#03. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires installation of additional 

bonding provisions that do not require 

opening of the fuel tank access panels. 

Required actions also include revising 

the maintenance or inspection program, 

as applicable, by incorporating fuel 

airworthiness limitation items and 

critical design configuration control 

limitations. 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–2015– 

3633. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 

1 CFR Part 51 

Fokker Services B.V. has issued 

Fokker F27 Proforma Service Bulletin 

SBF27–28–072, Revision 1, dated March 

6, 2014, including Fokker F27 Service 

Bulletin Appendix SBF27–28–072/

APP01, dated July 17, 2014, including 

List of Drawings/Part Lists, dated July 

17, 2014. The service information 

describes procedures for installing 

additional bonding provisions. 

Fokker Services B.V. has also issued 

Fokker Manual Change Notification— 

Maintenance Documentation MCNM– 

F27–027, dated September 9, 2014. The 

service information describes fuel 

airworthiness limitations items and 

critical design configuration control 

limitations. 

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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 15 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 8 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this AD. The average labor rate is $85 

per work-hour. Based on these figures, 

we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators to be $10,200, or $680 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 

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 AD will not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

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 that this AD: 

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.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 757–200 

series airplanes modified by particular 

STCs. This AD was prompted by reports 

of a main cargo door being blown past 

its full open position while on the 

ground during gusty wind conditions, 

which resulted in uncontrolled fall 

down to its closed position. This AD 

requires installing a new placard and 

bracket, replacing an existing placard, 

and replacing the main cargo door 

control panel. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent damage to the main cargo door, 

which could result in rapid 

decompression of the airplane, or injury 

to maintenance and ground crew during 

ground operations. 

DATES: This AD is effective April 4, 

2016.
