Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2C10 

(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) 

airplanes, Model CL–600–2D24 

(Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, and 

Model CL–600–2E25 (Regional Jet Series 

1000) airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a report that certain parts 

of the aft baggage door did not conform 

to the design specifications and were of 

degraded strength. This proposed AD 

would require repetitive inspections for 

cracking and deformations of certain 

stop fittings and striker plates of the aft 

baggage bay door; and replacement, 

which would terminate the repetitive 

inspections. We are proposing this AD 

to prevent cracking and deformations of 

certain stop fittings and striker plates, 

which may result in the opening of the 

aft baggage bay door and rapid 

decompression or reduced 

controllability of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 14, 2014.

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2013–37, 

dated November 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 CL– 

600–2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, 

& 702) airplanes, Model CL–600–2D24 

(Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, and 

Model CL–600–2E25 (Regional Jet Series 

1000) airplanes. The MCAI states: 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
30752 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 103 / Thursday, May 29, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

During the manufacturing process, it was 

found that certain aft baggage bay door stop 

fittings and striker plates did not conform to 

the design specifications due to a quality 

control problem. This quality escape could 

degrade the strength of the affected aft 

baggage bay door stop fittings and striker 

plates. Failure of the aft baggage bay door 

stop fittings or striker plates may result in the 

opening of the aft baggage bay door and 

consequent rapid decompression of the 

aeroplane during flight. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the initial 

and repetitive inspections of each aft baggage 

bay door stop fitting and striker plate until 

the terminating action [stop fitting/striker 

plate replacement] is accomplished. 

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–2014– 

0287. 

Relevant Service Information 

Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service 

Bulletin 670BA–52–037, Revision B, 

dated September 16, 2013. The actions 

described in this service information are 

intended to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 73 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed 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 proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $6,205, or $85 per 

product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on action would take 

about 22 work-hours and require parts 

costing $0, for a cost of $1,870 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need this action. 

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 proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation: 

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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference,

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model DC–9–10, 

DC–9–20, and DC–9–30 series airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by an 

evaluation by the design approval 

holder (DAH) indicating that the 

improved (shot-peened) aft fuselage 

non-ventral pressure bulkhead tee is 

subject to widespread fatigue damage 

(WFD). This proposed AD would 

require repetitive inspections for 

cracking of the improved (shot-peened) 

non-ventral aft pressure bulkhead tees, 

and replacement if necessary. We are 

proposing this AD to detect and correct 

fatigue cracking of the improved (shotpeened) non-ventral aft pressure 

bulkhead dome tees connecting the 

bulkhead web to the fuselage, which 

could result in reduced structural 

integrity and rapid decompression of 

the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 14, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR
