Discussion

Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF–2012–11, dated March 23, 2012 (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

It was found that the cargo compartment liners installed on CL–600–2B19 configured with Class C cargo compartment do not allmeet the flammability requirements. Noncompliant cargo compartment liners may not provide adequate fire protection and could lead to an uncontrolled baggage bay fire.

This AD mandates the replacement of existing cargo compartment liners with compliant cargo compartment liners.

Aeroplanes modified with [TCCA] Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Number SA01–19 Issue No. 1 [corresponding FAA STC ST01292NY, amended July 7, 2003 http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory

_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/1BB5140B1 D3A130086256D7A006DF851?Open Document&Highlight=st01292ny ] Cargo Liner Replacement Panels are also affected by this AD. 

### You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

Bombardier, Inc. issued the following service information:

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R– 25–187, Revision A, dated September 1, 2011;

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R– 25–198, dated September 1, 2011; and

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R– 25–199, dated September 1, 2011.

Comtek Aftermarket Structures issued COMTEK Service Bulletin COMSB–25– 52–001, Revision A, dated December 29,
2011.

The actions described in this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI. 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

Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 574 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 87 work-hours per product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $43,559 per product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $29,247,596, or $50,954 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 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.

We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with

this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
