Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

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. This proposed AD was 

prompted by reports of cracked forward 

door members of the inboard main 

landing gear (MLG) doors. This 

proposed AD would require repetitive 

inspections of the inboard MLG doors, 

repairs if necessary, and replacement of 

the inboard MLG doors. This proposed 

AD also would provide optional 

terminating action for the door 

replacement. We are proposing this AD 

to prevent loss of an MLG door during 

flight, which could result in damage to 

the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by August 14, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–42, 

dated December 12, 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– 

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

& 702) airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Cases of inboard MLG doors with cracked 

door forward members were found. A 

cracked inboard MLG door forward member 

could result in door departure from the 

aeroplane. Loss of an MLG door during flight 

could result in damage to the aeroplane and 

injury to persons on the ground. 

This [Canadian] AD mandates the 

repetitive inspection [and corrective actions 

if necessary] and replacement of the inboard 

MLG doors. 

The repetitive inspection is a detailed 

inspection for damage (including 

deformation, pulled or missing fasteners 

on the inner and outer skin, cracks, and 

deformation) on the forward member of 

the inboard MLG door inner skins, outer 

skin, and the forward member. 

Corrective actions include repairing, 

removing, or replacing the inboard MLG 

door. 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–2015– 

1987.

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 these same 

type designs. 

Related Rulemaking 

AD 2010–23–19, Amendment 39– 

16508 (75 FR 68695, November 9, 2010), 

requires repetitive inspections for 

damage of the MLG inboard doors and 

fairing, and corrective actions if 

necessary. AD 2010–23–19 applies to 

Model CL–600–2C10 (Regional Jet 

Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes having 

serial numbers (S/Ns) 10003 and 

subsequent; and Model CL–600–2D15 

(Regional Jet Series 705) and CL–600– 

2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes 

having S/Ns 15001 and subsequent. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 269 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate that it would take about 

16 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 $31,000 per product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of this proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $8,704,840, or $32,360 

per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

up to 44 work-hours and require parts 

costing up to $31,000, for a cost of up 

to $34,740 per product. We have no way 

of determining the number of aircraft 

that might need these actions. 

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, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator,

B. Regulatory History and Information 

The Coast Guard has a long history 

working with local, state, and federal 

agencies in areas to improve emergency 

response, to prepare for events that call 

for swift action, and to protect our 

nation. The Coast Guard is proposing to 

establish this safety zone on the waters 

of the Ohio River for the Beaver County 

Regatta fireworks. The marine event is 

scheduled to take place from 8:45 p.m. 

to 11:15 p.m. on August 22, 2015. This 

proposed rule is necessary to protect the 

safety of the participants, spectators, 

commercial traffic, and the general 

public on the navigable waters of the 

United States during the event.
