ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–215–6B11 

(CL–215T Variant), and CL–215–6B11 

(CL–415 Variant) airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by several reports 

indicating that shorter nacelle strut 

bushings were inadvertently installed 

on certain airplanes. This AD requires a 

general visual inspection of the left and 

right nacelle upper strut bushings; 

installation of the bolts and preload 

indicating (PLI) washers, if necessary; 

and replacement of the bushing or 

repair of the bushing installation, if 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct inadequate nacelle 

strut bushings, which provide 

insufficient engagement in the strut fork 

end, and could deform under the 

bearing load and lead to the failure of 

the joint. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

September 23, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of September 23, 2014.

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 certain Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–215–6B11 (CL–215T Variant), and 

CL–215–6B11 (CL–415 Variant) 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on February 27, 2014 

(79 FR 11022). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation, 

which is the aviation authority for 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 160 / Tuesday, August 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 48955 

Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2013–06, 

dated February 27, 2013 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–215– 

6B11 (CL–215T Variant), and CL–215– 

6B11 (CL–415 Variant) airplanes. The 

MCAI states: 

It was discovered in several cases that 

nacelle strut bushings with part number (P/ 

N), 85410265–105, have been inadvertently 

installed in lieu of P/N 85410265–103. 

Bushing P/N 85410265–105 is shorter than 

bushing P/N 85410265–103 and provides for 

less engagement in the strut fork end, P/N 

215T16534–12/–13, which may deform 

under the bearing load leading to the failure 

of the joint. 

The actions for this AD include a 

general visual inspection of the left and 

right nacelle upper strut bushings; 

installation of the bolts and PLI 

washers, if necessary; and replacement 

of the bushing or repair of the bushing 

installation, if necessary. You may 

examine the MCAI in the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0120- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 11022, February 27, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

‘‘Contacting the Manufacturer’’ 

Paragraph in This AD 

Since late 2006, we have included a 

standard paragraph titled ‘‘Airworthy 

Product’’ in all MCAI ADs in which the 

FAA develops an AD based on a foreign 

authority’s AD. 

The MCAI or referenced service 

information in an FAA AD often directs 

the owner/operator to contact the 

manufacturer for corrective actions, 

such as a repair. Briefly, the Airworthy 

Product paragraph allowed owners/

operators to use corrective actions 

provided by the manufacturer if those 

actions were FAA-approved. In 

addition, the paragraph stated that any 

actions approved by the State of Design 

Authority (or its delegated agent) are 

considered to be FAA-approved. 

In the NPRM (79 FR 11022, February 

27, 2014), we proposed to prevent the 

use of repairs that were not specifically 

developed to correct the unsafe 

condition, by requiring that the repair 

approval provided by the State of 

Design Authority or its delegated agent 

specifically refer to this FAA AD. This 

change was intended to clarify the 

method of compliance and to provide 

operators with better visibility of repairs 

that are specifically developed and 

approved to correct the unsafe 

condition. In addition, we proposed to 

change the phrase ‘‘its delegated agent’’ 

to include a design approval holder 

(DAH) with State of Design Authority 

design organization approval (DOA), as 

applicable, to refer to a DAH authorized 

to approve required repairs for the 

proposed AD. 

No comments were provided to the 

NPRM (79 FR 11022, February 27, 2014) 

about these proposed changes. However, 

a comment was provided for another 

NPRM having Directorate Identifier 

2012–NM–101–AD (78 FR 78285, 

December 26, 2013). The commenter 

stated the following: ‘‘The proposed 

wording, being specific to repairs, 

eliminates the interpretation that Airbus 

messages are acceptable for approving 

minor deviations (corrective actions) 

needed during accomplishment of an 

AD mandated Airbus service bulletin.’’ 

This comment has made the FAA 

aware that some operators have 

misunderstood or misinterpreted the 

Airworthy Product paragraph to allow 

the owner/operator to use messages 

provided by the manufacturer as 

approval of deviations during the 

accomplishment of an AD-mandated 

action. The Airworthy Product 

paragraph does not approve messages or 

other information provided by the 

manufacturer for deviations to the 

requirements of the AD-mandated 

actions. The Airworthy Product 

paragraph only addresses the 

requirement to contact the manufacturer 

for corrective actions for the identified 

unsafe condition and does not cover 

deviations from other AD requirements. 

However, deviations to AD-required 

actions are addressed in 14 CFR 39.17, 

and anyone may request the approval 

for an alternative method of compliance 

to the AD-required actions using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

To address this misunderstanding and 

misinterpretation of the Airworthy 

Product paragraph, we have changed the 

paragraph and retitled it ‘‘Contacting the 

Manufacturer.’’ This paragraph now 

clarifies that for any requirement in this 

AD to obtain corrective actions from a 

manufacturer, the action must be 

accomplished using a method approved 

by the FAA, TCCA, or Bombardier’s 

TCCA Design Approval Organization 

(DAO). 

The Contacting the Manufacturer 

paragraph also clarifies that, if approved 

by the DAO, the approval must include 

the DAO-authorized signature. The DAO 

signature indicates that the data and 

information contained in the document 

are TCCA-approved, which is also FAAapproved. Messages and other 

information provided by the 

manufacturer that do not contain the 

DAO-authorized signature approval are 

not TCCA-approved, unless TCCA 

directly approves the manufacturer’s 

message or other information. 

This clarification does not remove 

flexibility previously afforded by the 

Airworthy Product paragraph. 

Consistent with long-standing FAA 

policy, such flexibility was never 

intended for required actions. This is 

also consistent with the 

recommendation of the Airworthiness 

Directive Implementation Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee to increase 

flexibility in complying with ADs by 

identifying those actions in 

manufacturers’ service instructions that 

are ‘‘Required for Compliance’’ with 

ADs. We continue to work with 

manufacturers to implement this 

recommendation. But once we 

determine that an action is required, any 

deviation from the requirement must be 

approved as an alternative method of 

compliance. 

Other commenters to the NPRM 

having Directorate Identifier 2012–NM– 

101–AD (78 FR 78285, December 26, 

2013) pointed out that in many cases the 

foreign manufacturer’s service bulletin 

and the foreign authority’s MCAI might 

have been issued some time before the 

FAA AD. Therefore, the DOA might 

have provided U.S. operators with an 

approved repair, developed with full 

awareness of the unsafe condition, 

before the FAA AD is issued. Under 

these circumstances, to comply with the 

FAA AD, the operator would be 

required to go back to the 

manufacturer’s DOA and obtain a new 

approval document, adding time and 

expense to the compliance process with 

no safety benefit. 

Based on these comments, we 

removed the requirement that the DAHprovided repair specifically refer to this 

AD. Before adopting such a 

requirement, the FAA will coordinate 

with affected DAHs and verify they are 

prepared to implement means to ensure 

that their repair approvals consider the 

unsafe condition addressed in this AD. 

Any such requirements will be adopted 

through the normal AD rulemaking 

process, including notice-and-comment 

procedures, when appropriate. 

We also have decided not to include 

a generic reference to either the 

‘‘delegated agent’’ or ‘‘DAH with State of 

Design Authority design organization 

approval,’’ but instead we have 

provided the specific delegation 

approval granted by the State of Design 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
48956 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 160 / Tuesday, August 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

Authority for the DAH in the Contacting 

the Manufacturer paragraph of this AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

11022, February 27, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 11022, 

February 27, 2014). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 5 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 4 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this AD. The average labor rate is $85 

per work-hour. Required parts will cost 

about $0 per product. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

on U.S. operators to be $1,700, or $340 

per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions will take 

about 4 work-hours and require parts 

costing $0, for a cost of $340 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these actions. 

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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Airbus Model A310 series airplanes; 

and Model A300 B4–600, B4–600R, and 

F4–600R series airplanes, and Model 

A300 C4–605R Variant F airplanes 

(collectively called A300–600 series 

airplanes). This AD was prompted by 

the revision of certain airworthiness 

limitation items (ALI) documents, 

which require more restrictive 

maintenance requirements and 

airworthiness limitations. This AD 

requires revising the maintenance or 

inspection program to incorporate the 

limitations section. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent fatigue cracking, damage, 

or corrosion in principal structural 

elements, which could result in reduced 

structural integrity of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

September 23, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of September 23, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD
