Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, 

Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–2B19 

(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

issuance of revised certification 

maintenance requirements for the 

horizontal stabilizer trim actuator 

(HSTA). This AD requires revising the 

maintenance or inspection program. We 

are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

premature wear and cracking of the 

HSTAs, which could result in reduced 

structural integrity and reduced control 

of the airplane due to the failure of 

system components. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

January 16, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of January 16, 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–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 

440) airplanes. The NPRM published in 

the Federal Register on August 14, 2014 

(79 FR 47594). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2014–13, 

dated April 17, 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– 

600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 

440) airplanes. The MCAI states: 

A revision has been made to Part 2 of the 

Canadair Regional Jet Maintenance 

Requirements Manual (MRM), Appendix A— 

Certification Maintenance Requirements 

[CMR] which introduces a new task for the 

HSTA. Failure to comply with the CMR task 

could lead to an unsafe condition. 

This [Canadian] AD is issued to ensure that 

premature wear and cracking of the affected 

components are detected and corrected. [This 

condition could result in reduced structural 

integrity and reduced control of the airplane 

due to the failure of system components.] 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0567- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 47594, August 14, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

47594, August 14, 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 47594, 

August 14, 2014). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 416 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 1 work-hour 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. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

on U.S. operators to be $35,360, or $85 

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:

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 239 / Friday, December 12, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 73813

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. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

2014–25–02 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment 

39–18043. Docket No. FAA–2014–0567; 

Directorate Identifier 2014–NM–124–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD becomes effective January 16, 

2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–600–2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) 

airplanes, certificated in any category, 

equipped with horizontal stabilizer trim 

actuator (HSTA) part number (P/N) 

601R92305–7 (vendor P/N 8396–5). 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 55, Stabilizers. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by issuance of 

revised certification maintenance 

requirements (CMR) for the HSTA. We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct 

premature wear and cracking of certain 

HSTAs, which could result in reduced 

structural integrity and reduced control of 

the airplane due to the failure of system 

components. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Maintenance or Inspection Program 

Revision 

Within 30 days after the effective date of 

this AD, revise the maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate the 

information specified in Task C27–40–103– 

05, ‘‘Restoration (Overhaul) of the HSTA,’’ of 

Bombardier Temporary Revision (TR) 2A–58, 

dated January 31, 2014, into Appendix A— 

Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR), of Part 2, of the Bombardier CL–600– 

2B19 Maintenance Requirements Manual 

(MRM). The initial compliance time for 

accomplishing Task C27–40–103–05, 

‘‘Restoration (Overhaul) of the HSTA,’’ of 

Bombardier Temporary Revision (TR) 2A–58, 

dated January 31, 2014, is at the applicable 

phase-in time specified in Bombardier TR 

2A–58, dated January 31, 2014, or within 30 

days after the effective date of this AD, 

whichever occurs later. The revision required 

by paragraph (g) of this AD may be done by 

inserting a copy of Bombardier TR 2A–58, 

dated January 31, 2014, into Appendix A— 

CMR, of Part 2 of the Bombardier CL–600– 

2B19 MRM. When Bombardier TR 2A–58, 

dated January 31, 2014, has been included in 

the general revisions of the Bombardier CL– 

600–2B19 MRM, the general revisions may be 

inserted into the MRM, provided the relevant 

information in the general revision is 

identical to that in Bombardier TR 2A–58, 

dated January 31, 2014. 

(h) No Alternative Actions and Intervals 

After accomplishing the revision required 

by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative 

actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals may be 

used unless the actions or intervals are 

approved as an alternative method of 

compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the 

procedures specified in paragraph (i)(1) of 

this AD. 

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance

using any approved AMOC, notify your 

appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a 

principal inspector, the manager of the local 

flight standards district office/certificate 

holding district office. The AMOC approval 

letter must specifically reference this AD. 

(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any 

requirement in this AD to obtain corrective 

actions from a manufacturer, the action must
