SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to 

amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD 

that would apply to certain Bombardier, 

Inc. Model CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet 

Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The SNPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 27, 2015 (80 FR 65666) (‘‘the 

SNPRM’’). We preceded the SNPRM 

with a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) that published in the Federal 

Register on October 16, 2012 (77 FR 

63282) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM 

proposed to require revising the 

maintenance or inspection program to 

incorporate revised AWL tasks specified 

in certain technical requirements. The 

NPRM was prompted by the need for 

more stringent inspection requirements 

for certain affected components. The 

SNPRM proposed to require revising the 

maintenance or inspection program to 

incorporate certain revised AWL tasks 

instead of TRs, and to require repairs of 

affected components. We are issuing 

this AD to detect and correct fatigue 

cracking in the affected components. 

Such cracking could result in loss of 

structural integrity. 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 


ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
59840 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 169 / Wednesday, August 31, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

for Canada, has issued Canadian AD 

CF–2012–13, dated April 10, 2012 

(referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. 

Model CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet 

Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The MCAI 

states: 

A revision has been made to Part 2 of the 

Canadair Regional Jet Maintenance 

Requirements Manual (MRM), Airworthiness 

Limitations (AWL), to introduce more 

stringent inspection requirements for 

continued airworthiness based on reanalysis, in-service data and/or fatigue 

testing. Failure to comply with these revised 

AWL items could lead to an unsafe 

condition. 

This [Canadian] AD is issued to ensure that 

fatigue cracking of these affected components 

[and consequent loss of airplane structural 

integrity] is detected and corrected. 

Required actions include revising the 

maintenance program by incorporating 

the revised inspection requirements 

specified in certain TRs. 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–2012– 

1075. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the SNPRM and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Withdraw SNPRM 

Mr. Aaron Ahern stated that the 

SNPRM must be denied and considered 

null and void. Mr. Ahern provided no 

justification for this statement. 

From this statement, we infer that Mr. 

Ahern is requesting we withdraw the 

SNPRM. We disagree with the request. 

It is within our authority to issue ADs 

to require actions to address unsafe 

conditions that are not otherwise being 

addressed (or are not addressed 

adequately) by normal maintenance 

procedures. We may address such 

unsafe conditions by requiring revisions 

to maintenance or inspection programs 

as a condition under which airplanes 

may continue to be operated. We agree 

with TCCA’s finding of an unsafe 

condition based on analysis, in-service 

data, and/or fatigue testing. From the 

data gathered, we have determined that 

fatigue cracking is likely to exist or 

develop in certain components of the 

affected airplanes. As a result, we have 

determined that the actions required by 

this AD are necessary to address the 

identified unsafe condition. We have 

not changed this final rule in this 

regard. 

Request To Allow for Other Methods of 

Compliance 

Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation 

(Air Wisconsin) requested that we revise 

the proposed AD to allow qualified FAA 

representatives, such as Designated 

Engineering Representatives (DERs) and 

Organization Designation Authorization 

(ODA) holders, to approve repair 

methods. Air Wisconsin stated that 14 

CFR 121.1109 (Supplemental 

Inspections) requires a certificate 

holder’s maintenance program to 

include FAA-approved damage 

tolerance inspections and procedures. 

Air Wisconsin pointed out that both 

DERs and ODAs already perform 

damage tolerance evaluations (DTEs). 

We disagree. While we might 

authorize a design approval holder’s 

DERs to determine whether a design or 

repair method complies with a specific 

requirement of a structural AD, they are 

not authorized to make the discretionary 

determination of the applicable 

requirement. DERs are not authorized to 

approve repairs as alternative methods 

of compliance (AMOCs) to ADs, except 

under specific conditions described in 

FAA Orders 8110.103, 8100.15, and 

8100.37. In addition, this AD already 

includes a provision for TCCA’s Design 

Approval Organization (DAO) to 

approve repairs. We have not changed 

this AD in this regard. 

Request To Confirm Previously 

Approved Repairs 

Air Wisconsin requested that we 

confirm whether repairs that may not 

have been incorporated per paragraphs 

(k)(2)(i), (k)(2)(ii), and (k)(2)(iii) of the 

proposed AD (in the SNPRM) are still 

considered approved for compliance to 

this AD under paragraph (k)(2) of the 

proposed AD (in the SNPRM). 

We agree. As long as the previously 

approved repair meets the requirements 

of paragraphs (k)(2)(i), (k)(2)(ii), and 

(k)(2)(iii) of this AD, it does not matter 

when the repair is actually 

accomplished. We have clarified 

paragraph (k)(2)(i) of this AD to reflect 

this. In response to Air Wisconsin’s 

comment regarding this issue in the 

NPRM, we had included a provision in 

paragraph (k)(2)(i) of the proposed AD 

(in the SNPRM) to allow for previously 

approved repairs in the inspection area 

that were approved by the Manager, 

New York Aircraft Certification Office, 

ANE–170, FAA; or TCCA; or 

Bombardier, Inc.’s TCCA DAO, but that 

provision included the language ‘‘the 

repairs were accomplished.’’ We have 

removed that language from paragraph 

(k)(2)(i) of this AD. 

Request To Reference Revised Service 

Information 

SkyWest Airlines (SkyWest) requested 

that we revise the SNPRM to reference 

the latest service information. SkyWest 

pointed out that Bombardier has issued 

Revision 10, dated May 10, 2015, of Part 

2, Airworthiness Requirements, of the 

Bombardier CL–600–2B19 Maintenance 

Requirements Manual (MRM), CSP A– 

053. 

We agree to reference Bombardier 

Revision 10, dated May 10, 2015, of Part 

2, Airworthiness Requirements, of the 

Bombardier CL–600–2B19 MRM, CSP 

A–053, as the appropriate source of 

service information for certain 

requirements of this AD. We have 

revised this final rule accordingly. 

Request To Remove Requirement That 

Repair Approvals Refer to the MCAI 

SkyWest requested that we remove 

the requirement that repair approvals 

must refer to the MCAI. SkyWest stated 

that leaving this paragraph in the AD 

would require SkyWest to request a 

large number of AMOCs for their fleet 

as soon as the AD becomes effective. 

SkyWest asserts that none of the repair 

engineering orders (REOs) and general 

repair engineering orders (GREOs) 

reference the MCAI, and do not have an 

inspection method. 

We disagree with the request. We are 

aware of instances of repairs in an 

affected area that are signed by the 

foreign authority’s authorized delegate, 

but did not correct the unsafe condition 

because they were outdated. A repair 

that references the unsafe condition 

addressed in the MCAI guarantees an 

approved repair. A revised service 

document or AMOC that satisfies the 

requirements of paragraph (k)(2) of this 

AD is acceptable. We have not changed 

this AD in this regard. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, 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 minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the SNPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the SNPRM. 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this 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 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.
