AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

DASSAULT AVIATION Model FAN JET 

FALCON; Model MYSTERE–FALCON 

200 airplanes; and Model MYSTERE– 

FALCON 20–C5, 20–D5, 20–E5, and 20– 

F5 airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by reports of defective fire 

extinguisher bottle cartridges. This 

proposed AD would require checking 

manufacturing references of 

pyrotechnical cartridges for batch 

number and date, repetitive checking of 

cartridges for electrical continuity, and 

replacing defective pyrotechnical 

cartridges if necessary. We are 

proposing this AD to detect and correct 

defective fire bottle cartridges, which 

could affect the capability to extinguish 

a fire in an engine, auxiliary power unit, 

or rear compartment, which could result 

in damage to the airplane and injury to 

the occupants.

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the aviation authority 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
44474 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 142 / Wednesday, July 24, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

Airworthiness Directive 2012–0190, 

dated September 24, 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: 

Several defective fire bottle cartridges have 

been reported on certain Dassault Aviation 

Fan Jet Falcon and Myste`re-Falcon 20-() 5 

aeroplanes. 

The results of the investigations concluded 

that there was a production quality issue 

with the fire bottle cartridge. In addition, the 

part numbers (P/N) of the fire bottle cartridge 

and the batch numbers have been identified. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could constitute a dormant failure 

that might impact the capability to extinguish 

a fire, either in an engine or the Auxiliary 

Power Unit, or the rear compartment, 

possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane 

and injury to the occupants. 

For the reason described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires repetitive checking of 

the electrical continuity [and of the 

references] of the fire extinguishers bottles 

cartridges [extinguisher bottle cartridges] and 

depending on findings, replacement of an 

affected part with a serviceable part. It also 

ultimately requires replacement of any 

affected cartridges with a serviceable part. In 

addition, this [EASA] AD prohibits 

installation of an affected fire extinguisher 

bottle cartridge. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Dassault has issued Mandatory 

Service Bulletin F20–783, Revision 1, 

dated June 11, 2012 (for Model FAN JET 

FALCON and MYSTERE–FALCON 20- 

()5 airplanes); and Mandatory Service 

Bulletin F200–128, Revision 1, dated 

June 11, 2012 (for Model MYSTERE– 

FALCON 200 airplanes). The actions 

described in this service information are 

intended to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. 

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 the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 185 products of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it would 

take about 5 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 $6,300 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 the 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$1,244,125, or $6,725 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 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.
