ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC–8–400 

series airplanes. This AD was prompted 

by reports of corrosion in the low-rate 

discharge tubes of the fire protection 

system leading to the forward baggage 

compartment, and perforation of one or 

more tubes. This AD requires repetitive 

checks for leakage of the discharge tubes 

of the fire protection system. This AD 

also mandates eventual replacement of 

all existing aluminum tube assemblies 

with new, improved corrosion-resistant 

stainless steel tube assemblies. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent perforation of 

the low-rate discharge tubes, which 

could result in insufficient fire 

extinguishing agent reaching the 

forward baggage compartment in the 

event of a fire, which could result in 

damage to the airplane and injury to the 

occupants. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 

31, 2015 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of July 31, 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 

DHC–8–400 series airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 13, 2014 (79 FR 47384). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–06, 

dated January 21, 2014 (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: 

Corrosion has been reported in the fire 

protection system low rate discharge tubes 

leading to the forward baggage compartment. 

In some cases, this has led to perforation of 

one or more tubes. 

Perforation of forward baggage 

compartment fire protection system tubes 

may result in decreased effectiveness of the 

fire protection system in the event of a fire 

in the forward baggage compartment. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates a repetitive 

integrity check of the forward baggage 

compartment fire protection system tube 

assemblies, and the replacement of 

aluminum forward baggage compartment fire 

protection tube assemblies with corrosion 

resistant stainless steel (CRES) tubes. 

The unsafe condition is perforation of 

the low-rate discharge tubes, which 

could result in insufficient fire 

extinguishing agent reaching the 

forward baggage compartment and 

reduce the capability of the fire 

protection system to extinguish fires, 

possibly resulting in damage to the 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 123 / Friday, June 26, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 36711 

airplane and injury to occupants. You 

may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;

D=FAA-2014-0524-0004. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (79 FR 47384, 

August 13, 2014) and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Remove Certain Service 

Information Procedures 

Horizon Air requested that the 

language in paragraph (g) of the NPRM 

(79 FR 47384, August 13, 2014) be 

changed to specify only required 

actions. Instead of mandating the entire 

Accomplishment Instructions of 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–26–15, 

Revision A, dated January 15, 2014, 

Horizon Air recommended mandating 

only the actions necessary to correct the 

identified unsafe condition. Horizon Air 

stated that the Accomplishment 

Instructions, Part A, ‘‘Job Set-up,’’ and 

Part C, ‘‘Close Out,’’ have nothing to do 

with correcting the unsafe condition. 

Horizon Air reasoned that mandating 

operators to perform these actions 

restricts operators’ ability to perform 

other maintenance in conjunction with 

incorporation of the required actions 

specified in this AD. 

We agree with the commenter’s 

request to exclude the ‘‘Job Set-up’’ and 

‘‘Close Out’’ sections of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–26–15, 

Revision A, dated January 15, 2014, 

from this AD. We have revised the 

introductory text of paragraphs (g) and 

(h) of this AD for clarification because 

there are two sections in the service 

information which contain paragraph 

3.B. ‘‘Procedure.’’ Accomplishment of 

the actions specified in paragraph 3.B., 

‘‘Procedure,’’ of Parts A and B, as 

applicable, of the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 84–26–15, Revision A, dated 

January 15, 2014, is required by this AD. 

Second Alternative for Failed Integrity 

Check 

Horizon Air also asked that a second 

alternative for a failed integrity check be 

included in paragraph (i) of the NPRM 

(79 FR 47384, August 13, 2014). Horizon 

Air stated that, as an alternative to 

replacing all tubes by incorporating 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–26–15, 

Revision A, dated January 15, 2014, 

operators should be allowed the option 

to replace only the leaking tubes using 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–26–15, 

dated January 7, 2013. Horizon Air 

noted that it would then repeat the 

integrity check required by the 

paragraph (g) of the proposed AD. 

Horizon Air stated that disabling the 

forward baggage compartment is not a 

viable option in its operation. 

We agree with the commenter. As an 

additional option for a failed integrity 

check, operators may replace only the 

leaking tubes and return the airplane to 

service if no additional leakage is found. 

We have added a new paragraph (i)(2) 

to this AD to include this option in lieu 

of disabling the forward baggage 

compartment. We have also redesignated paragraphs (i)(1), (i)(2), and 

(i)(3) of the proposed AD to paragraphs 

(i)(1)(i), (i)(1)(ii), and (i)(1)(iii) of this 

AD. 

Request to Remove or Change 

Exception to Service Information 

All Nippon Airways requested that 

the exception to the electrical bonding 

resistance check specified in paragraph 

(j) of the proposed AD (79 FR 47384, 

August 13, 2014), be either removed or 

clarified. All Nippon Airways stated 

that, if the electrical bonding resistance 

check of the high rate discharge bottle 

was deleted from the referenced service 

information, it should also be removed 

from the NPRM. If the FAA disagrees, 

All Nippon Airways asked that we 

clarify the language in paragraph (j) of 

the proposed AD. 

We agree that the electrical bonding 

resistance check of the high rate 

discharge bottle was removed from 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–26–15, 

Revision A, dated January 15, 2014. The 

electrical bonding resistance check was 

identified in Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 84–26–15, dated June 7, 2013, 

and was subsequently included in the 

exception identified in the NPRM (79 

FR 47384, August 13, 2014). Therefore, 

we have removed paragraph (j) of the 

proposed AD from this final rule and redesignated subsequent paragraphs 

accordingly. Instead, we have included 

that exception in the Credit for Previous 

Actions specified in paragraph (j) of this 

AD (identified as paragraph (k) of the 

proposed 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 

47384, August 13, 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 47384, 

August 13, 2014). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service 

Bulletin 84–26–15, Revision A, dated 

January 15, 2014. The service 

information describes procedures for 

repetitive checks for leakage of the 

discharge tubes of the fire protection 

system. The service information also 

mandates eventual replacement of all 

existing aluminum tube assemblies with 

new, improved corrosion-resistant 

stainless steel tube assemblies. 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 of 

this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 82 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 42 work-hours 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 $7,852 per product. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this AD on U.S. operators to be 

$936,604, or $11,422 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.

America Code 26, Fire protection. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

corrosion in the low-rate discharge tubes of 

the fire protection system leading to the 

forward baggage compartment, and 

perforation of one or more tubes. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent perforation of the 

low-rate discharge tubes, which could result 

in insufficient fire extinguishing agent 

reaching the forward baggage compartment in 

the event of a fire, which could result in 

damage to the airplane and injury to the 

occupants. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Repetitive Inspections 

At the applicable time specified in 

paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, perform 

an inspection (integrity check) for leakage of 

the fire protection tube assemblies of the 

forward baggage compartment, in accordance 

with paragraph 3.B., ‘‘Procedure,’’ of Part A 

of the Accomplishment Instructions of 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–26–15, 

Revision A, dated January 15, 2014. If no 

leakage is found, repeat the inspection at 

intervals not to exceed 2,000 flight hours or 

12 months, whichever occurs first. If any 

leakage is found, before further flight, do the 

terminating action required by paragraph (h) 

of this AD, except as provided by paragraph 

(i) of this AD. 

(1) For airplanes that have accumulated 

10,000 total flight hours or more, or have 

been in service for 60 months or more as of 

the effective date of this AD: Within 2,000 

flight hours or 12 months after the effective 

date of this AD, whichever occurs first. 

(2) For airplanes that have accumulated 

less than 10,000 total flight hours, and have 

been in service for less than 60 months, as 

of the effective date of this AD: Before the 

accumulation of 12,000 total flight hours or 

72 months in service, whichever occurs first. 

(h) Terminating Action for Repetitive 

Inspections 

At the applicable time specified in 

paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this AD: Replace 

all existing aluminum tube assemblies of the 

forward baggage compartment with new, 

improved corrosion-resistant stainless steel 

tube assemblies, in accordance with 

paragraph 3.B., ‘‘Procedure,’’ of Part B of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 84–26–15, Revision A, dated 

January 15, 2014. Accomplishing this 

replacement terminates the repetitive 

inspections required by paragraph (g) of this 

AD. 

(1) For airplanes that have accumulated 

12,000 total flight hours or more, or have 

been in service for 72 months or more, as of 

the effective date of this AD: Within 6,000 

flight hours or 36 months after the effective 

date of this AD, whichever occurs first. 

(2) For airplanes that have accumulated 

less than 12,000 total flight hours, and have 

been in service for less than 72 months, as 

of the effective date of this AD: Before the 

accumulation of 18,000 total flight hours or 

108 months in service, whichever occurs 

first. 

(i) Alternatives to Replacement for Failed 

Integrity Check 

(1) As an alternative to the immediate tube 

assembly replacement following any failed 

inspection (integrity check) required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD, the airplane may be 

returned to service for a maximum of 10 

days, provided the conditions specified in 

paragraphs (i)(1)(i), (i)(1)(ii), and (i)(1)(iii) of 

this AD are met. 

(i) The forward baggage compartment is 

empty. For ballast purposes, the use of bags 

(made of glass fiber or Kevlar) of sand or 

ingots of non-magnetic metals (such as lead) 

are acceptable. 

(ii) The flight compartment and forward 

baggage compartment are placarded to 

indicate the forward baggage compartment is 

inoperative. 

(iii) An appropriate entry in the aircraft 

maintenance log is made. 

(2) As an alternative to the immediate tube 

assembly replacement following any failed 

inspection (integrity check) required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD, the airplane may be 

returned to service for a maximum of 10 days 

provided no additional leakage is found. Any 

tubes found with a leak are to be replaced 

before further flight, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 84–26–15, dated January 7, 

2013. 

(j) Credit for Previous Actions 

This paragraph provides credit for actions 

required by paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD, 

as applicable, if those actions were 

performed before the effective date of this AD 

using Bombardier Service Bulletin 84–26–15, 

dated June 7, 2013, which is not incorporated 

by reference in this AD. The electrical 

bonding resistance check of the high rate 

discharge bottle specified in Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 84–26–15, dated June 7,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Craigie Bridge, mile 1.0, across Charles 

River has a vertical clearance in the 

closed position of 5 feet at mean high 

water and 15 feet at mean low water. 

The existing bridge operating 

regulations are found at 33 CFR 

117.591(e). 

Charles River is transited by 

recreational vessel traffic. 

Massachusetts Department of 

Transportation requested this temporary 

deviation from the normal operating 

schedule to facilitate a public event, the 

Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular. 

Under this temporary deviation, the 

Craigie Bridge may remain in the closed 

position from 10:30 p.m. on July 4, 2015 

to 1 a.m. on July 5, 2015. 

There is no alternate route for vessel 

traffic; however, vessels that can pass 

under the closed draws during this 

closure may do so at any time. The 

bridge will be able to open in the event 

of an emergency. 

The Coast Guard will inform the users 

of the waterway through our Local and 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the 

change in operating schedule for the 

bridge so that vessels can arrange their 

transits to minimize any impact caused 

by the temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: June 15, 2015.
