Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the airworthiness 

authority for Canada, has issued 

Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF– 

2014–20, dated July 9, 2014 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600– 

2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) 

airplanes. The MCAI states: 

There have been a number of engine fan 

cowl panel dislodgement incidents reported 

on the Bombardier CL–600–2B19 aeroplane 

fleet. The dislodged panels may cause 

damage to the fuselage and flight control 

surfaces of the aeroplane. Also, the debris 

from a dislodged panel may result in runway 

contamination and has the potential of 

causing injury on the ground. 

Although the majority of the subject panel 

dislodgements were reported on the first or 

second flight after an engine maintenance 

task was performed that required removal 

and reinstallation of the subject panels, the 

frequency of the dislodgements indicates that 

the existing attachment design is prone to 

human (maintenance) error. 

Bombardier has attempted to mitigate this 

issue by issuing maintenance advisories 

emphasizing the proper installation of engine 

fan cowl panels. In order to further mitigate 

the potential safety hazard of the subject 

panel dislodgement, Bombardier has issued 

Service Bulletin (SB) 601R–71–034 to install 

additional fasteners for the attachment of the 

engine fan cowl panels to the nacelle’s 

structure. 

This [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate 

compliance with Bombardier SB 601R–71– 

034. 

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– 

0750. 

Relevant Service Information 

Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service 

Bulletin 601R–71–034, Revision B, 

dated August 1, 2014. 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 518 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 9 work-hours 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 $5,248 per 

product. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this proposed AD on 

U.S. operators to be $3,114,734, or 

$6,013 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 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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Rolls-Royce Corporation (RRC) AE 2100 

series turboprop engines and AE 3007A 

and 3007C series turbofan engines. This 

proposed AD was prompted by reports 

of pitting in the wheel bores and 

subsequent RRC analysis that concluded 

that lower life limits are needed for the 

affected turbine wheels. This proposed 

AD would reduce the approved life 

limits of the affected turbine wheels. 

This proposed AD would also require an 

eddy current inspection (ECI) of certain 

RRC engines with affected turbine 

wheels. We are proposing this AD to 

prevent uncontained failure of the 

turbine wheels, damage to the engine, 

and damage to the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by December 1, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments,
