steps, including substeps and identified 

figures. 

(ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be 

deviated from using accepted methods 

in accordance with the operator’s 

maintenance or inspection program 

without obtaining approval of an 

AMOC, provided the RC steps, 

including substeps and identified 

figures, can still be done as specified, 

and the airplane can be put back in an 

airworthy condition.

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker 

Services B.V. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 

0070 and 0100 airplanes. This proposed 

AD was prompted by a report of 

cracking in a certain section of the 

secondary structure of the wing. This 

proposed AD would require a one-time 

inspection of the trailing edge rib, and 

corrective action if necessary. We are 

proposing this AD to detect and correct 

cracking that could lead to failure of the 

affected rib and consequent reduced 

control of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by February 8, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0271, dated December 

12, 2014 (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct 

an unsafe condition for all Fokker 

Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 

and 0100 airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Service experience with the Fokker 100 

type design has shown that cracking can 

occur in the secondary structure of the wing 

at station 8700, rib Part Number (P/N) 

D15445–013/–014 (or lower dash number) in 

the trailing edge section. The hydraulic 

actuator assembly, hydraulic lines, the cable 

pulleys, the anti-upfloat quadrant and the 

associated mechanical linkages including 

flutter dampers are all positioned in the 

affected area, between wing stations 8200 

and 9270. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could lead to failure of the affected 

rib, possibly resulting in reduced control of 

the aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Fokker Services published Service Bulletin 

(SB) SBF100–57–048, which provides 

inspection instructions to detect any cracks 

in the affected area. 

For the reasons described above, this AD 

requires a one-time [detailed] inspection of 

the trailing edge rib at wing station 8700 and, 

depending on findings, accomplishment of 

applicable corrective action(s). 

This AD is considered to be an interim 

action and further AD action may follow, 

possibly to introduce new ALS 

[Airworthiness Limitations Section] tasks, if 

justified by the inspection results. 

Corrective actions include repair of 

cracking in the secondary structure of 

the wing at station 8700, rib Part 

Number (P/N) D15445–013/-014 (or 

lower dash number), in the trailing edge 

section. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

7530. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Fokker Service Bulletin 

SBF100–57–048, dated October 27, 

2014. This service information describes 

procedures for inspecting the trailing 

edge section at the rib of wing station 

8700 for cracking. This service 

information is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section of this NPRM. 

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 designs. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 8 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 1 work-hour 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 $0 per product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of this proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $680, or $85 per product. 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide cost 

estimates for the on-condition actions 

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. 

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.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part

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 (AD):
