SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2012–16, 

dated May 9, 2012 (referred to after this 

as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products. The MCAI 

states: 

During aeroplane operation, the Main 

Distribution Centre (MDC) rack panel is 

subject to flexing, due to the weight of the 

two DC Generator Control Units and the Trim 

Comparator Unit installed on the rack panel. 

Some wires routed below the MDC rack 

panel were found chafed. Prolonged chafing 

of the wires may result in damage to the 

power wires causing simultaneous loss of 

systems such as electrical power, pilot 

indications, and caution/advisory lighting 

systems, potentially leading to a hazardous 

situation. 

This [Canadian] AD is issued to replace the 

existing MDC rack panel assembly with a 

new design that incorporates additional 

stiffening support structure to prevent flexing 

of the rack panel. 

Damaged power wires could cause 

simultaneous loss of systems such as 

electrical power, pilot indications, and 

caution/advisory lighting systems, 

which are essential for safe flight. You 

may examine the MCAI on the Internet 

at http://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating it in Docket 

No. FAA–2013–0833. 

Relevant Service Information 

Bombardier has issued Alert Service 

Bulletin 215–A4436, Revision 1, dated 

February 2, 2012. The actions described 

in this service information are intended 

to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. 

Clarification of Service Information 

Note 

Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin 

215–A4436, Revision 1, dated February 

2, 2012, includes a note in the 

Accomplishment Instructions section 

instructing operators to contact 

Bombardier ‘‘if any deviation exists’’ in 

accomplishing the service bulletin. We 

have included a sentence in this AD to 

clarify that any deviation from the 

instructions provided in the service 

bulletin must be approved as an 

alternative method of compliance under 

paragraph (i)(1) of this AD. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This 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 issuing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

There are no products of this type 

currently registered in the United States. 

However, this rule is necessary to 

ensure that the described unsafe 

condition is addressed if any of these 

products are placed on the U.S. Register 

in the future. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

Since there are currently no domestic 

operators of this product, notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

issuing this AD are unnecessary. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not precede it by notice and 

opportunity for public comment. We 

invite you to send any written relevant 

data, views, or arguments about this AD. 

Send your comments to an address 

listed under the ADDRESSES section. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2013–0833; 

Directorate Identifier 2012–NM–140– 

AD’’ at the beginning of your comments. 

We specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 0 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 8 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 $0 per 

product. Where the service information 

lists required parts costs that are 

covered under warranty, we have 

assumed that there will be no charge for 

these parts. As we do not control 

warranty coverage for affected parties, 

some parties may incur costs higher 

than estimated here. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

to the U.S. operators to be $680 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 61179 

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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class
