airplanes, certificated in any category, 

equipped with Eaton flap actuators having 

any part number (P/N) specified in 

paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this AD. 

(1) P/N 601R93101–23/–25 (vendor P/N 

852D100–23, –25).

854D100–23, –24). 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 27, Flight controls. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a determination 

that certain flap actuators require restoration 

by installing a redesigned flap actuator 

inboard pinion seal. We are issuing this AD 

to prevent flap system failure, and 

consequent reduced control of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

You are responsible for having the actions 

required by this AD performed within the 

compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(g) Maintenance Program Revision 

Within 30 days after the effective date of 

this AD, revise the maintenance program to 

incorporate Tasks C27–50–111–15 and C27– 

50–111–17 as specified in Bombardier CL– 

600–2B19 Temporary Revision (TR) 2A–48, 

dated July 6, 2012, to Appendix A— 

Certification Requirements, of Part 2, 

Airworthiness Requirements, of the 

Bombardier CL–600–2B19 Maintenance 

Requirements Manual (MRM), except as 

specified in paragraph (j) of this AD. The 

initial compliance times for the tasks are 

specified in paragraph (h) of this AD. 

Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD: The 

maintenance program revision required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD may be done by 

inserting a copy of Bombardier CL–600–2B19 

TR 2A–48, dated July 6, 2012, into Appendix 

A—Certification Requirements, of Part 2, 

Airworthiness Requirements, of the 

Bombardier CL–600–2B19 MRM. When this 

TR has been included in general revisions of 

the MRM, the general revisions may be 

inserted in the MRM, provided the relevant 

information in the general revision is 

identical to that in Bombardier CL–600–2B19 

TR 2A–48, dated July 6, 2012. 

(h) Initial Task Compliance Times 

For the inboard and outboard flap actuators 

identified in Bombardier CL–600–2B19 TR 

2A–48, dated July 6, 2012, to Appendix A— 

Certification Requirements, of Part 2, 

Airworthiness Requirements, of the 

Bombardier CL–600–2B19 MRM, the initial 

compliance times for the tasks specified in 

Bombardier CL–600–2B19 TR 2A–48, dated 

July 6, 2012, are at the applicable times 

specified in paragraphs (h)(1) through (h)(4) 

of this AD. 

(1) For flap actuators that have 

accumulated less than 6,000 flight cycles as 

of the effective date of this AD, before the 

accumulation of 10,000 flight cycles on the 

flap actuator. 

(2) For flap actuators that have 

accumulated 6,000 or more flight cycles but 

less than 10,000 flight cycles as of the 

effective date of this AD, within 4,000 flight 

cycles after the effective date of this AD, but 

no later than 12,000 flight cycles on the flap 

actuator. 

(3) For flap actuators that have 

accumulated 10,000 or more flight cycles but 

less than or equal to 12,000 flight cycles as 

of the effective date of this AD, within 2,000 

flight cycles after the effective date of this 

AD, but no later than 13,000 flight cycles on 

the flap actuator. 

(4) For flap actuators that have 

accumulated more than 12,000 flight cycles 

as of the effective date of this AD, within 

1,000 flight cycles after the effective date of 

this AD. 

(i) Repetitive Compliance Time 

Where Bombardier CL–600–2B19 TR 2A– 

48, dated July 6, 2012, to Appendix A— 

Certification Requirements, of Part 2, 

Airworthiness Requirements, of the 

Bombardier CL–600–2B19 MRM, specifies a 

task interval of 10,000 flight cycles or 144 

months, the task interval is 10,000 flight 

cycles. 

(j) No Alternative Actions and Intervals 

After accomplishing the revision required 

by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative 

actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals may be 

used unless the actions or intervals are 

approved as an alternative method of 

compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the 

procedures specified in paragraph (k) of this 

AD.

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

Class E surface airspace at Leesburg, 

VA, providing the controlled airspace 

required to aid Potomac TRACON in the 

safe and orderly flow of air traffic at 

Leesburg Executive Airport. Controlled 

airspace extending upward from the 

surface within a 6-mile radius of the 

airport would be established for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations. 

Class E surface airspace designations 

are published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA 

Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. This proposed 

rulemaking is promulgated under the 

authority described in Subtitle VII, Part, 

A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would establish Class E surface airspace 

at Leesburg Executive Airport, Leesburg, 

VA. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
