AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC–8–400 

series airplanes. This AD was prompted 

by reports of chafing of the fuel lines 

due to contact with the surrounding 

structures in the fuel tank. This AD 

requires replacing and modifying fuel 

lines, revising the maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

include critical design configuration 

control limitations (CDCCL) and 

airworthiness limitation (AWL) items, 

and, for certain airplanes, removing 

certain clamps and mounting hardware. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent 

chafing of the fuel lines in the fuel tank, 

which could result in potential ignition 

sources in the fuel tank in the event of 

a lightning strike and consequent fire or 

explosion. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

October 7, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of October 7, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We 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 

DHC–8–400 series airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 26, 2014 (79 FR 50860). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2013–09R1, 

dated May 28, 2013 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model 

DHC–8–400 series airplanes. The MCAI 

states: 

Reports from operators have revealed a 

number of instances of chafing of the fuel 

lines due to contact with the surrounding 

structures in the fuel tank. An internal audit 

conducted by Bombardier revealed a number 

of locations in the fuel tank where low 

clearances were noted between fuel lines and 

the surrounding structure. Low clearances 

between fuel lines and the surrounding 

structures may result in ignition sources in 

the fuel tank in the event of a lightning strike, 

creating an unacceptable level of safety. 

Bombardier had issued Service Bulletin 

(SB) 84–28–09 to introduce new fuel line 

assemblies that include new fuel lines and 

Teflon protective sleeves, and SBs 84–28–10 

and 84–28–13 to remove unnecessary 

hardware in the wing fuel tanks, in order to 

eliminate potential fouling conditions on the 

affected fuel lines. 

Upon an operator’s incorporation of SB 84– 

28–09, an additional fouling condition was 

identified on the post-modification fuel lines. 

In order to address this concern on the 

aeroplane, Bombardier has issued SBs 84– 

28–14 and 84–28–15, along with ModSum 

IS4Q2800012 to rectify this problem. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

replacement of fuel lines and the installation 

of fuel line Teflon protective sleeves. In 

addition, the fuel line Teflon protective 

sleeves have been added to the Critical 

Design Configuration Control Limitations 

(CDCCL) along with the introduction of 

associated Fuel System Limitations tasks, to 

ensure integrity of the new assembly. 

Since the original issue of this [Canadian] 

AD, it was found that there were editorial 

errors in Parts IB and II A of this [Canadian] 

AD. In addition, the Temporary Revisions 

(TR) Airworthiness Limitation Items (ALI)– 

111/–112 ‘‘referenced’’ in Parts III and IV of 

this AD had been superseded by later 

revisions. This [Canadian] AD is revised to 

correct the editorial errors and accept the 

later TR approved by Transport Canada. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov/ 

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0583- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (79 FR 50860, 

August 26, 2014) and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Refer to Revised Service 

Information 

All Nippon Airways (ANA) and 

Horizon Air requested that we revise 

paragraph (g) of the proposed AD (79 FR 

50860, August 26, 2014) to refer to the 

following service information: 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–28– 

14, Revision A, dated June 9, 2014 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–28– 

09, Revision D, January 29, 2013 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–28– 

15, dated August 17, 2012 

Horizon also requested that we revise 

paragraph (n) of the proposed AD (79 FR 

50860, August 26, 2014) to provide 

credit for the prior accomplishment of 

the actions specified in Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 84–28–14, dated 

August 17, 2012. 

We agree with the requests and have 

revised paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2)(i), 

(g)(2)(ii), and (m) of this AD 

accordingly. We have also redesignated 

paragraph (n) of the proposed AD (79 FR 

50860, August 26, 2014) as paragraph 

(n)(1) of this AD, and added new 

paragraph (n)(2) to this AD to indicate 

the new credit service information. 

Request To Clarify Certain Affected 

Airplanes 

ANA requested that we correct the 

identity of the affected airplanes in 

paragraph (g)(2) of the proposed AD (79 

FR 50860, August 26, 2014). Although 

paragraph (g)(2) of the NPRM specified 

airplanes on which ModSum 4–113643 

‘‘was incorporated’’ in production, ANA 

noted that this requirement should 

apply to airplanes on which ModSum 

4–113643 ‘‘was not incorporated’’ in 

production. ANA noted that ModSum 

4–113643 is equivalent to the 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–28–09. 

We agree with the request. The intent 

of the NPRM (79 FR 50860, August 26, 

2014) was to include only airplanes on 

which neither the ModSum nor the 

corresponding service bulletin was 

done. We have revised paragraph (g)(2) 

of this AD accordingly. 

Request To Exclude Specific Access and 

Close Requirements 

Horizon Air requested that we revise 

paragraphs (g) and (i) of the proposed 

AD (79 FR 50860, August 26, 2014) to 

exclude the Job Set-up and the Close 

Out sections in certain service 

information, because these actions do 

not directly correct the unsafe 

condition. Horizon Air stated that 

requiring the actions in these sections 

restricts an operator’s ability to do other 

maintenance actions concurrently with 

the actions required by this AD. 

We agree to revise paragraphs (g) and 

(i) of this AD to specify only the actions 

in paragraph B., ‘‘Procedures,’’ which 

correct the unsafe condition. 

Request To Allow Use of Later 

Revisions of Service Information 

ANA requested that we allow use of 

‘‘later revisions’’ of the service 

information, as done in the MCAI. 

We disagree with the request. We 

cannot use the phrase ‘‘or later 

revisions’’ in an AD when referring to 

service documents because doing so 

violates Office of the Federal Register 

(OFR) regulations for approval of 

materials ‘‘incorporated by reference’’ in 

rules. See 1 CFR 51.1(f). In general 

terms, we are required by these OFR 

regulations to either publish the service 

document contents as part of the actual 

AD language; or submit the service 

document to the OFR for approval as 

‘‘referenced’’ material, in which case we 

may refer to such material in the text of 

an AD. The AD may refer to service 

documents only if the OFR has 

approved them for incorporation by 

reference. See 1 CFR part 51. 

To allow operators to use later 

revisions of the referenced document 

(issued after publication of the AD), 

either we must revise the AD to refer to 

specific later revisions, or operators 

must request approval to use later 

revisions as an alternative method of 

compliance with this AD under the 

provisions of paragraph (o)(1) of this 

AD. We have not changed this AD 

regarding this issue. 

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: 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 170 / Wednesday, September 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 52957 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

50860, August 26, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 50860, 

August 26, 2014). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier has issued the following 

service information: 

• Service Bulletin 84–28–09, Revision 

D, dated January 29, 2013, which 

describes procedures for replacing fuel 

lines, adding Teflon tubing to certain 

fuel lines in the fuel tank, and 

contacting the manufacturer for certain 

corrective actions. 

• Service Bulletin 84–28–10, Revision 

B, dated March 19, 2013, which 

describes procedures for inspecting for 

the presence of certain clamps and 

hardware and, if those are present, 

removing those certain clamps and 

mounting hardware. 

• Service Bulletin 84–28–13, dated 

August 17, 2012, which describes 

procedures for removing certain clamps 

and mounting hardware. 

• Service Bulletin 84–28–14, Revision 

A, dated June 9, 2014, which describes 

procedures for replacing a tube 

assembly. 

• Service Bulletin 84–28–15, dated 

August 17, 2012, which describes 

procedures for replacing fuel lines, 

adding Teflon tubing to certain fuel 

lines in the fuel tank, and contacting the 

manufacturer for certain corrective 

actions. 

• Temporary Revision ALI–111, dated 

January 11, 2011, to Section 4–1, ‘‘Fuel 

System Limitations,’’ of Part 2, 

‘‘Airworthiness Limitation Items,’’ of 

the Airworthiness Limitation Items 

section of Bombardier Q400 Dash 8 

Maintenance Requirements Manual 

PSM 1–84–7, which describes updates 

to the fuel system limitations for 

inspections of the Teflon sleeve on the 

fuel tank vent lines. 

• Temporary Revision ALI–112, dated 

January 11, 2011, to Section 5–1, 

‘‘Critical Design Configuration Control 

Limitations,’’ of Part 2, ‘‘Airworthiness 

Limitation Items,’’ of the Airworthiness 

Limitation Items section of Bombardier 

Q400 Dash 8 Maintenance Requirements 

Manual PSM 1–84–7, which describes 

updates to the critical design 

configuration control limitations on

lines inside the fuel tanks. 

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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 72 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 80 workhours per product to comply with the 

basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts will cost about $2,845 

per product. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. 

operators to be $694,440, or $9,645 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.

Updated Statements of Legal Authority 

for the Export Administration 

Regulations To Include August 7, 2015 

Extension of Emergency Declared in 

Executive Order 13222 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule updates the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) legal 

authority paragraphs in the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) to 

cite the most recent Presidential notice 

extending an emergency declared 

pursuant to the International Emergency 

Economic Powers Act. This is a 

procedural rule that only updates 

authority paragraphs of the EAR. It does 

not alter any right, obligation or 

prohibition that applies to any person 

under the EAR. 

DATES: The rule is effective September 

2, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

William Arvin, Regulatory Policy 

Division, Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Telephone: (202) 482–2440. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Authority for all parts of the EAR 

other than part 745 rests, in part, on 

Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 

2001—National Emergency with 

Respect to Export Control Regulations, 

66 FR 44025, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 

and on annual notices extending the 

emergency declared in that executive 

order. This rule revises the authority 

paragraphs for the affected parts to cite 

the most recent such notice, which the 

President signed on August 7, 2015. 

This rule is purely procedural, and 

makes no changes other than to revise 

CFR authority paragraphs for the 

purpose of making the authority 

citations current. It does not change the 

text of any section of the EAR, nor does 

it alter any right, obligation or 

prohibition that applies to any person 

under the EAR. 

Rulemaking Requirements 

1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). This rule does not impose any 

regulatory burden on the public and is 

consistent with the goals of Executive 

Order 13563. This rule has been 

determined to be not significant for 

purposes of Executive Order 12866. 

2. Notwithstanding any other 

provision of law, no person is required 

to respond to, nor shall any person be 

subject to a penalty for failure to comply 

with, a collection of information subject 

to the requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of 

information displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Control Number. This rule does 

not involve any collection of 

information. 

3. This rule does not contain policies 

with Federalism implications as that 

term is defined under Executive Order 

13132. 

4. The Department finds that there is 

good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to 

waive the provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act requiring 

prior notice and the opportunity for 

public comment because they are 

unnecessary. This rule only updates 

legal authority citations. It clarifies 

information and is non-discretionary. 

This rule does not alter any right, 

obligation or prohibition that applies to 

any person under the EAR. Because 

these revisions are not substantive 

changes, it is unnecessary to provide 

notice and opportunity for public 

comment. In addition, the 30-day delay 

in effectiveness otherwise required by 5 

U.S.C. 553(d) is not applicable because 

this rule is not a substantive rule. 

Because neither the Administrative 

Procedure Act nor any other law 

requires that notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

public comment be given for this rule, 

the analytical requirements of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly, 

no Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

is required and none has been prepared.

procedure, Advisory committees, 

Exports, Reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements, Strategic and critical
