2024–0028; Project Identifier AD–2023– 

00919–T. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by March 1, 

2024. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD replaces AD 2021–09–06, 

Amendment 39–21519 (86 FR 23595, May 4, 

2021) (AD 2021–09–06). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all The Boeing 

Company Model 737–600, –700, –700C,

cracking in the station (STA) 663.75 frame 

fitting outboard chords and failsafe straps 

adjacent to the stringer S–18A area and a 

determination that additional inspections are 

needed to address the unsafe condition. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address cracking 

in the STA 663.75 frame fitting outboard 

chords and failsafe straps adjacent to the 

stringer S–18A straps, which could result in 

failure of a Principal Structural Element 

(PSE) to sustain limit load. The unsafe 

condition, if not addressed, could adversely 

affect the structural integrity of the airplane 

and result in loss of control of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Required Actions 

Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this 

AD: At the applicable times specified in the

Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ 

Aviation ULC (Type Certificate 

Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for 

certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model 

CL–600–2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 

701 & 702); CL–600–2C11 (Regional Jet 

Series 550); CL–600–2D15 (Regional Jet 

Series 705); and CL–600–2D24 (Regional 

Jet Series 900) airplanes. This proposed 

AD was prompted by a determination 

that a potential crack of the tombstone 

fitting lug cannot be detected as the 

bushings remaining in place during 

accomplishment of the special detailed 

inspection (SDI) required by a certain 

airworthiness limitation (ALI) task. This 

proposed AD would require inspecting 

the tombstone fitting lug with a new SDI 

sub-surface ultrasound procedure when 

accomplishing the ALI task, as specified 

in a Transport Canada AD, which is 

proposed for incorporation by reference 

(IBR). This proposed AD would also 

require corrective actions if necessary. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by March 1, 2024.

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

contain commercial or financial 

information that is customarily treated 

as private, that you actually treat as 

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Yaser Osman, 

Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 

Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, 

NY 11590; telephone 516–228–7300;

Background 

Transport Canada, which is the 

aviation authority for Canada, has 

issued Transport Canada AD CF–2022– 

54R1, dated October 4, 2022 (Transport 

Canada AD CF–2022–54R1) (also 

referred to after this as the MCAI), to 

correct an unsafe condition for certain 

MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL–600– 

2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 

702); CL–600–2C11 (Regional Jet Series 

550); CL–600–2D15 (Regional Jet Series 

705); and CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet 

Series 900) airplanes. Transport Canada 

AD CF–2022–54R1 superseded 

Transport Canada AD CF–2022–54, 

dated September 13, 2022 (Transport 

Canada AD CF–2022–54), to correct a 

reference to an incorrect maintenance 

requirements manual number. 

Transport Canada AD CF–2022–54R1 

states that MHI RJ discovered that the 

MHI RJ Non-Destructive Testing Manual 

(NDTM) Part 6, Procedure 53–61–121– 

250, associated with ALI Task 53–61– 

121, is not adequate to detect a potential 

crack of the tombstone fitting lug before 

the critical crack size is reached as the 

bushings remain in place during the 

SDI. Transport Canada AD CF–2022– 

54R1 mandates the use of new 

ultrasonic MHI RJ NDTM Part 4, 

Procedure 53–61–121–270, in 

conjunction with NDTM Part 6, 

Procedure 53–61–121–250, during 

accomplishment of the SDIs required by 

ALI Task 53–61–121. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the undetected cracking of the 

tombstone fitting lug. If the crack is not 

detected, the tombstone fitting lug will 

eventually fail. The failure will cause a 

transfer of load to other engine 

attachment points, which will then be 

overloaded and compromised in their 

structural integrity. This can lead to a 

rapid failure mode, potentially resulting 

in the loss of the engine. You may 

examine the MCAI in the AD docket at 

regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 

2024–0031. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Transport Canada AD CF–2022–54R1 

specifies procedures for accomplishing 

a special detailed inspection for cracks 

of the engine forward support frame’s 

tombstone top and bottom fitting lugs at 

frame fuselage station (FS) 1051.30, 

during the accomplishment of the SDIs 

required by ALI Task 53–61–121. This 

material is reasonably available because 

the interested parties have access to it 

through their normal course of business 

or by the means identified in 

ADDRESSES. 

FAA’s Determination 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is approved for operation in 

the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI and service information 

referenced above. The FAA is issuing 

this NPRM after determining that the 

unsafe condition described previously is 

likely to exist or develop in other 

products of the same type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

Transport Canada AD CF–2022–54R1 

described previously, except for any 

differences identified as exceptions in 

the regulatory text of this proposed AD, 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 16, 2024 / Proposed Rules 2519 

and except as discussed under 

‘‘Difference Between this Proposed AD 

and the MCAI.’’ 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has been coordinating 

this process with manufacturers and 

CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to 

incorporate Transport Canada AD CF– 

2022–54R1 by reference in the FAA 

final rule. This proposed AD would, 

therefore, require compliance with 

Transport Canada AD CF–2022–54R1 in 

its entirety through that incorporation, 

except for any differences identified as 

exceptions in the regulatory text of this 

proposed AD. Service information 

required by Transport Canada AD CF– 

2022–54R1 for compliance will be 

available at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2024–0031 after the 

FAA final rule is published. 

Difference Between This NPRM and the 

MCAI 

Transport Canada AD CF–2022–54R1 

did not specify any corrective action for 

cracking found during the required 

inspection. This proposed AD would 

require repairing all cracks before 

further flight. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 597 

airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA 

estimates the following costs to comply 

with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators 

2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 (per interval) .................. $0 $170 (per interval) ................... $101,490 (per interval). 

The FAA has received no definitive 

data on which to base the cost estimates 

for the repairs specified in this proposed 

AD. 

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. 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

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. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate 

Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.): 

Docket No. FAA–2024–0031; Project 

Identifier MCAI–2022–01307–T. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by March 1, 

2024. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to MHI RJ Aviation ULC 

(Type Certificate Previously Held by 

Bombardier, Inc.) Model CL–600–2C10 

(Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702); CL–600– 

2C11 (Regional Jet Series 550); CL–600–2D15 

(Regional Jet Series 705); and CL–600–2D24 

(Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, 

certificated in any category, as identified in 

Transport Canada AD CF–2022–54R1, dated 

October 4, 2022 (Transport Canada AD CF– 

2022–54R1). 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America 53, Fuselage. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a determination 

that the MHI RJ Non-Destructive Testing 

Manual (NDTM) Part 6, Procedure 53–61– 

121–250, associated with Airworthiness 

Limitations (ALI) Task 53–61–121, is not 

adequate to detect a potential crack of the 

tombstone fitting lug as the bushings remain 

in place during the special detailed 

inspection (SDI). The FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the undetected cracking of the 

tombstone fitting lug. If the crack is not 

detected, the tombstone fitting lug will 

eventually fail. The failure will cause a 

transfer of load to other engine attachment 

points, which will then be overloaded and 

compromised in their structural integrity. 

This can lead to a rapid failure mode, 

potentially resulting in the loss of the engine. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as required by paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, Transport Canada CF– 

2022–54R1. 

(h) Exceptions to Transport Canada CF– 

2022–54R1 

(1) Where Transport Canada AD CF–2022– 

54R1 refers to the effective date of AD CF– 

2022–54 (September 27, 2022), this AD 

requires using the effective date of this AD. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
2520 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 16, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

(2) Where paragraph A. of Transport 

Canada AD CF–2022–54R1 specifies 

inspecting ‘‘For aeroplanes that, as of the 

effective date of AD CF–2022–54 (27 

September 2022), have not been inspected as 

required by MRM CSP B–053 Part 2 ALI Task 

53–61–121,’’ this AD requires replacing those 

words with ‘‘For all airplanes.’’ 

(3) This AD does not adopt paragraph B. 

of Transport Canada AD CF–2022–54R1. 

(4) Where paragraph A. of Transport 

Canada AD CF–2022–54R1 specifies 

inspecting ‘‘within the intervals in MRM CSP 

B–053 Part 2 for ALI Task 53–61–121,’’ for 

this AD, the initial compliance time for the 

task is within the ‘‘threshold’’ specified in 

the service information identified in 

paragraph A. Transport Canada AD CF– 

2022–54R1 or within 90 days after the 

effective date of this AD, whichever occurs 

later.
