**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002–23– 19 for all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 series airplanes. AD 2002–23–19 required repetitive operational tests, repetitive measurements, and repetitive replacement of certain jackscrews. This new AD requires revising the maintenance program to incorporate new or revised maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by the manufacturer revising the airplane maintenance manual (AMM) maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to prevent reduced controllability of the airplane.

**DATES :**  This AD becomes effective April 7, 2014.

The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 7, 2014.

Discussion

We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2002–23–19, Amendment 39–12963 (67 FR 71452, December 2, 2002). AD 2002–23–19 applied to all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July 12, 2013 (78 FR 41882). The NPRM proposed to revise the maintenance program to incorporate new or revised maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2012–0156, dated August 23, 2012 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI
states:

The airworthiness limitations and maintenance requirements for the Falcon 2000 type design are included in Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000 (F2000) Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) chapter 5–40 and are approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). EASA issued AD 2008–0221 [ http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/

_ 2008–0221

_ 1 ] to require accomplishment of the maintenance tasks, and implementation of the airworthiness limitations, as specified in Dassault Aviation F2000 AMM chapter 5– 40 at revision 12.

Since that [EASA] AD was issued, Dassault Aviation have issued F2000 AMM chapter 5– 40 at revision 17, which introduces new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations. Dassault Aviation AMM chapter 5–40 revision 17 contains among other changes the following requirements:

—Inspection and test of horizontal stabilizer jackscrew;

—Operational test of voltage monitoring circuits;

—Upgrade of screwjack of flap actuators from the older to the latest -3 version;

—Revised Time Between Overhaul for screwjack of flap actuators -3 version;

—Revised interval for checking the screw/ nut play on screwjack of flap actuators -3 version;

—Removal of service life limit for screwjack of flap actuators;

—Test of flap asymmetry protection system. Compliance with the flap asymmetry test is required by DGAC [Direction Ge  ́ ne

 ́ rale de l’Aviation Civile] France AD F–1999–038– 008(B)R1 [which can be found in the AD docket at http://www.regulations.gov/ #!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-0466-0002

. F2000 AMM chapter 5–40 at revision 17 introduces extended inspection interval;

—Inspection procedures of fuselage and wings;

—Check of overpressure tightness on pressurization control regulating valves. Compliance with this check is required by EASA AD 2008–0072 [ http:// ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa

_ 1 ]. F2000 AMM chapter 5–40 at revision 17 introduces extended inspection interval. The maintenance tasks and airworthiness limitations, as specified in the F2000 AMM chapter 5–40, have been identified as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness of the F2000 type design. Failure to comply with AMM chapter 5–40 at revision 17 might constitute an unsafe condition.
* * * * *

The required action is revising the maintenance program to incorporate all airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks specified in Chapter 5–40, Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 18, dated July 2012, of Chapter 5, Maintenance Planning Document, of the Dassualt Falcon 2000 Maintenance Manual.

. Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (78 FR 41882, July 12, 2013) or on the determination of the cost to the public. Explanation of Changes to This Final Rule

After the NPRM (78 FR 41882, July 12, 2013) was published, we determined that it was not necessary to retain the requirements of AD 2010–26–05, Amendment 39–16544 (75 FR 79952, December 21, 2010), in this final rule.


### 11694 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 41 / Monday, March 3, 2014 / Rules and Regulations

Paragraphs (g), (h), and (i) of the NPRM were not carried over into this final rule, and the paragraphs that were carried over into this final rule have been redesignated accordingly.

We have concluded that the actions required by this final rule address the unsafe condition.

Because paragraphs (g), (h), and (i) of the NPRM (78 FR 41882, July 12, 2013) were not carried over into this final rule, we revised the Costs of Compliance paragraph in this final rule to omit the costs associated with those paragraphs.

Conclusion

We reviewed the available 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 changes:

• Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 41882, July 12, 2013) for correcting the unsafe condition; and

• Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 41882, July 12, 2013). Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD affects 229 airplanes of U.S. registry.

We estimate that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $19,465, or $85 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 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. Examining the AD Docket

Discussion

We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to certain Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Models DA 42 NG and DA 42 M–NG airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on November 6, 2013 (78 FR 66666). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products and was based on mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country. The MCAI states:

During maintenance troubleshooting of the DA 42 NG alternator indication system it has been discovered that, with one alternator inoperative, the system did not give a warning indication as described in the Airplane Flight Manual.

Subsequent investigation results showed that the voltage regulator warning circuit,
