 ACTION: Final rule.
 SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that the forward lugs of the flap hinge box might not conform to engineering drawings, which could result in premature fatigue cracking. This AD requires revising the maintenance or inspection program to include new airworthiness limitations tasks; and measuring the forward lug edge distance of each flap hinge box, inspecting for cracking and damage (
                        *i.e.,*
                         deformation or bearing failure) of the forward lug edge of each flap hinge box, and repairing any cracking or damage if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct non-conforming flap hinge box forward lugs, which could result in failure of the lugs and detachment of the flap hinge box and consequent detachment of the flap surface.
 DATES: This AD becomes effective June 4, 2015. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of June 4, 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 CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. The NPRM published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     on August 4, 2014 (79 FR 45140). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that the forward lugs of the flap hinge box might not conform to engineering drawings, which could result in premature fatigue cracking. The NPRM proposed to require revising the maintenance or inspection program to include new airworthiness limitations tasks; and measuring the forward lug edge distance of each flap hinge box, inspecting for cracking and damage (
                    *i.e.,*
                     deformation or bearing failure) of the forward lug edge of each flap hinge box, and repairing any cracking or damage if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct non-conforming flap hinge box forward lugs, which could result in failure of the lugs and detachment of the flap hinge box and consequent detachment of the flap surface. Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2014-01, dated January 3, 2014 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or “the MCAI”), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. The MCAI states: The aeroplane manufacturer has determined that the flap hinge box forward lugs edge distance may not conform to the engineering drawings. Non-conforming flap hinge box forward lugs may result in premature fatigue cracking. Failure of the lugs could lead to the detachment of the flap hinge box and consequently the detachment of the flap surface. The loss of a flap surface could adversely affect the continued safe operation of the aeroplane. This [Canadian] AD mandates the incorporation of new Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC) Airworthiness Limitations (AWL) tasks, and the measurement [and inspection for cracking and damage] of the forward lug edge distance of each flap hinge-box and rectification as required. Corrective actions include repairing damage and cracking. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at

                        #!documentDetail;​D=​FAA-2014-0491-0002.* Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM (79 FR 45140, August 4, 2014) and the FAA's response to each comment. Request To Include Latest Revision of Service Information Bombardier, Inc. requested that we revise the NPRM (79 FR 45140, August 4, 2014) to reflect the latest revisions of certain service information. We agree to include the latest revisions of certain service information. Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 604-57-007, Revision 01, dated November 12, 2014 (for Model CL-600-2B16 airplanes); and Service Bulletin 605-57-005, Revision 01, dated November 12, 2014 (for Model CL-600-2B16 airplanes). This new service information does not add new work for the affected airplanes and was revised to update labor hours needed to perform the work and clarify work instructions. We have changed this AD to reference Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-57-007, Revision 01, dated November 12, 2014; and Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-57-005, Revision 01, dated November 12, 2014, throughout. We have also added a new paragraph (k) to this AD to give credit for actions performed before the effective date of this AD using Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-57-007, dated September 26, 2013; and Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-57-005, dated September 26, 2013. We redesignated subsequent paragraphs accordingly. Request To Correct Typographical Errors Bombardier, Inc., and an FAA airframe and powerplant mechanic noted typographical errors in Table 1 of the NPRM (79 FR 45140, August 4, 2014) and requested they be corrected. We agree that there are typographical errors. We have revised table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD. The temporary revision (TR) number has been corrected to read “5-275,” in certain rows of table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD, where in the NPRM (79 FR 45140, August 4, 2014) the previous TR number read “5-276.” The revision of Bombardier CL-604 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks Manual, dated July 8, 2013, was corrected from revision “8” to revision “20.” Explanation of Additional Change Made to This Final Rule We have removed Note 1 to paragraph (g) from this final rule. Instead, we have included that information in paragraph (g) of this AD. 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: Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 45140, August 4, 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 45140, August 4, 2014). We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

                     for ways to access this service information. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 105 airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about 45 work-hours per product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $401,625, or $3,825 per product. We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide cost estimates for the cost of parts or on-condition actions specified in this AD. 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.
