AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model BD–700–1A10 

and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by reports of operator 

inability to open the main passenger 

door following severe hot soak 

conditions. This AD requires the 

incorporation of a new configuration to 

the passenger door external handle 

detent to enhance the performance 

across the full range of the airplane 

operating temperatures. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent thermal expansion 

and permanent deformation at severe 

hot soak conditions, creating high 

friction between the spring pot housing 

and the slider that could result in 

inability to open the main passenger 

door and impede evacuation in the 

event of an emergency. 

DATES: This AD is effective August 31, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of August 31, 2016.

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 

BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on January 13, 2016 

(81 FR 1584) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM 

was prompted by reports of operator 

inability to open the main passenger 

door following severe hot soak 

conditions. The NPRM proposed to 

require the incorporation of a new 

configuration to the passenger door 

external handle detent to enhance the 

performance across the full range of the 

airplane operating temperatures. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent thermal 

expansion and permanent deformation 

at severe hot soak conditions, creating 

high friction between the spring pot 

housing and the slider that could result 

in inability to open the main passenger 

door and impede evacuation in the 

event of an emergency. 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2015–03, 

dated March 13, 2015 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD– 

700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

There have been reports where operators 

experienced an inability to open the main 

passenger door following severe hot soak 

conditions. 

Investigation determined that the nylon 

slider in the plunger assembly of the door 

handle is susceptible to thermal expansion 


ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 144 / Wednesday, July 27, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 49157 

and permanent deformation at severe hot 

soak conditions, creating high friction 

between the spring pot housing and the 

slider. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in an inability to open the main 

passenger door and could impede evacuation 

in the event of an emergency. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

incorporation of a new configuration to the 

passenger door external handle detent to 

enhance the performance across the full 

range of the aeroplanes operating 

temperatures. 

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–2016– 

8435. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier issued the following 

service Information: 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700– 

1A11–52–021, Revision 01, dated 

February 3, 2015. 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700– 

52–044, Revision 01, dated February 3, 

2015. 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700– 

52–5008, Revision 01, dated February 3, 

2015. 

• Bombardier Service Bulletin 700– 

52–6008, Revision 01, dated February 3, 

2015. 

The service information describes 

procedures to incorporate a new 

configuration to the passenger door 

external handle detent. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 60 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 4 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this 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 AD on U.S. operators to be $20,400, 

or $340 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.

Repair Stations 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Interim final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is revising its 

repair station rules to remove the 

requirement that a repair station with an 

airframe rating provide suitable 

permanent housing to enclose the 

largest type and model aircraft listed on 

its operations specifications. The FAA is 

also revising its general housing and 

facilities regulation to provide that a 

repair station’s housing for its facilities, 

equipment, materials, and personnel 

must be consistent not only with its 

ratings, but also with its limitations to 

those ratings. Finally, the FAA is adding 

an additional general purpose limited 

rating to cover maintenance work not 

covered by the existing 12 limited rating 

categories. These changes are necessary 

because the existing ratings and housing 

rules impose unnecessary housing 

requirements on certain repair stations 

that work only on component parts of 

an aircraft. These changes will enable 

some repair stations to obtain a limited 

rating that is tailored to their intended 

scope of work, and will relieve repair 

stations that have a limited airframe 

rating, but that work only on component 

parts of an aircraft, from having to 

provide large and expensive housing to 

enclose the entire aircraft when that 

type of housing is not needed for the 

limited scope of their work.
