E.O. 12866. Therefore, no regulatory 

impact analysis is required. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

requires an agency to prepare a 

regulatory flexibility analysis for rules 

unless the agency certifies that the rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. The RFA applies only to rules 

for which an agency is required to first 

publish a proposed rule. See 5 U.S.C. 

603(a) and 604(a). As discussed above, 

the 2015 Act does not require agencies 

to first publish a proposed rule when 

adjusting CMPs within their 

jurisdiction. Thus, the RFA does not 

apply to this final rule. 

D. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This document does not contain 

information collection requirements 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995, Public Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

E. Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801, et seq.), the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs 

designated this rule as not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 1201 

Administrative practice and 

procedure, Civil rights, Government 

employees. 

For the reasons set forth above, 5 CFR 

part 1201 is amended as follows: 

PART 1201—PRACTICES AND 

PROCEDURES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 1201

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc., Model CL–600–2B16 

(604 Variant) airplanes. This AD was 

prompted by a determination that a 

combination of system faults and 

procedural actions will cause the 

ground spoilers to deploy in the air. 

This AD requires revising the existing 

airplane flight manual (AFM) to add 

revised procedures. The FAA is issuing 

this AD to address the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 20, 

2024. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of March 20, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: 

AD Docket: You may examine the AD 

docket at regulations.gov under Docket 

No. FAA–2023–1219; or in person at 

Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 

5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains this final rule, the mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI), any comments received, and 

other information. The address for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA 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–600–2B16 (604 Variant) airplanes. 

The NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on July 5, 2023 (88 FR 42886). 

The NPRM was prompted by AD CF– 

2023–01, dated January 4, 2023, issued 

by Transport Canada (hereafter referred 

to as the MCAI), which is the aviation 

authority for Canada. The MCAI states 

that, during an in-service event, a 

combination of system faults and 

procedural actions caused the ground 

spoilers to deploy in the air. During this 

event, the WOW [weight-on-wheels] 

INPUT Caution message had posted on 

the engine indication and crew alerting 

system (EICSA) after takeoff. The WOW 

INPUT message persisted, even after the 

flightcrew executed the WOW INPUT 

Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) 

procedure. During this time, the GND 

SPLRS [ground spoilers] NOT ARMED 

message also posted, and the flightcrew 

consequently manually armed the 

ground spoilers as required by 

procedure. An investigation by 

Bombardier, Inc., revealed that a fault 

occurred in the proximity sensor 

electronic unit (PSEU), which 

erroneously indicated ON GROUND 

while the airplane was in the air. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

require revision of the existing AFM to 

add revised procedures. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to address possible 

ground spoiler deployment leading to 

reduced controllability of the airplane, 

or excessive loss of altitude on final 

approach. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1219. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received one comment from 

a commenter who supported the NPRM 

without change. 

The FAA received additional 

comments from Bombardier. The 

following presents the comments 

received and the FAA’s responses.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 14, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 11165 

Request for Later-Approved Service 

Information 

Bombardier requested that the FAA 

change the AD to allow the use of the 

AFM revisions specified ‘‘or later 

revisions approved by the FAA, TCCA 

[Transport Canada Civil Aviation], or 

the Bombardier DAO [Design Approval 

Organization].’’ 

The FAA disagrees with the 

commenter’s request. The FAA may not 

refer to any future document that does 

not yet exist in an AD because 1 CFR 

51.1(f) states a publication’s 

incorporation by reference is limited to 

its approved edition; future publication 

amendments or revisions are outside 

this inclusion. 

Further, paragraph (g) of this AD 

requires operators to incorporate ‘‘the 

information specified in’’ the specified 

AFM documents. If operators 

incorporate a later revision of an AFM 

document that contains the same 

information as the specified AFM 

document, then they are in compliance 

with paragraph (g) of this AD. However, 

if there are changes to procedures in 

later revisions, operators may request an 

alternative method of compliance with 

this AD under the provisions of 

paragraph (h)(1) of this AD. 

Additional Changes Made to This Final 

Rule 

In the NPRM, the FAA inadvertently 

referred to Sub-sub-section K, ‘‘Ground 

Spoilers Unsafe,’’ of Bombardier 

Challenger 604 Airplane Flight Manual, 

Publication No. PSP 604–1, Revision 

125, dated March 14, 2022. The 

‘‘Ground Spoilers Unsafe,’’ procedure of 

that document is actually ‘‘Sub-subsection L.’’ Therefore, the FAA has 

revised all references of ‘‘Sub-subsection K’’ to ‘‘Sub-sub-section L.’’ 

Conclusion 

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 referenced above. The FAA 

reviewed the relevant data, considered 

the comments received, and determined 

that air safety requires adopting this AD 

as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on this product. Except for 

minor editorial changes, and any other 

changes described previously, this AD is 

adopted as proposed in the NPRM. 

None of the changes will increase the 

economic burden on any operator.
