54536 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 26, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

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 have 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 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

(3) 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

See the ADDRESSES section for a location 

to examine the regulatory evaluation.

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) amends § 39.13 

by adding the following new 

airworthiness directive (AD): 

2007–20–02 Viking Air Limited (Formerly 

Bombardier, Inc.): Amendment 39–

15212. Docket No. FAA–2007–28619; 

Directorate Identifier 2007–NM–004–AD.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

The aim of this AD, is to mandate 

airworthiness requirements in structural 

maintenance in accordance with the 

requirements defined in the AIRBUS A300–

600 Airworthiness Limitations Items (ALI) 

document issue 11, referenced AI/SE–M2/ 

95A.0502/06, approved by EASA on 31 May 

2006. 

The unsafe condition is fatigue cracking, 

damage, or corrosion in principal 

structural elements, which could result 

in reduced structural integrity of the 

airplane. We are issuing this AD to 


rmajette on PROD1PC64 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 26, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 54537 

require actions to correct the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

October 31, 2007. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of October 31, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on July 9, 2007 (72 FR 37122). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

The aim of this AD, is to mandate 

airworthiness requirements in structural 

maintenance in accordance with the 

requirements defined in the AIRBUS A300–

600 Airworthiness Limitations Items (ALI) 

document issue 11, referenced AI/SE–M2/ 

95A.0502/06, approved by EASA on 31 May 

2006. 

Issue 11 of this document (refer to the 

Summary of Changes chapter for more 

details) deals in particular with the 

introduction of new tasks and the reduction 

of threshold and interval of some ALI tasks. 

Some other clarifications are also brought 

to some tasks like for example the access, the 

applicability period or the applicability. 

This AD supersedes DGAC AD F–2004–

153, as it was mandating A300–600 ALI issue 

9. 

The unsafe condition is fatigue cracking, 

damage, or corrosion in principal 

structural elements, which could result 

in reduced structural integrity of the 

airplane. Incorporating this revision into 

the Airworthiness Limitations Section 

(ALS) of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness is intended to ensure the 

continued structural integrity of these 

airplanes. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

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 available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow our FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a NOTE within the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this AD affects about 138 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it takes about 1 work-hour 

per product to comply with this AD. 

The average labor rate is $80 per workhour. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators to be $11,040, or $80 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 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); and 

3. 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov; or in 

person at the Docket Operations office 

between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

The AD docket contains the NPRM, the 

regulatory evaluation, any comments 

received, and other information. The 

street address for the Docket Operations 

office (telephone (800) 647–5527) is in 

the ADDRESSES section. Comments will 

be available in the AD docket shortly 

after receipt.

requirements defined in the AIRBUS A300–

600 Airworthiness Limitations Items (ALI) 

document issue 11, referenced AI/SE–M2/ 

95A.0502/06, approved by EASA on 31 May 

2006. 

Issue 11 of this document (refer to the 

Summary of Changes chapter for more 

details) deals in particular with the 

introduction of new tasks and the reduction 

of threshold and interval of some ALI tasks. 

Some other clarifications are also brought 

to some tasks like for example the access, the 

applicability period or the applicability. This 

AD supersedes DGAC AD F–2004–153, as it
