entirety. 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2021–04–05, which applies to certain 

Airbus Canada Limited Partnership 

Model BD–500–1A10 and BD–500– 

1A11 airplanes. AD 2021–04–05 

requires revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations. 

Since the FAA issued AD 2021–04–05, 

the FAA has determined that new or 

more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations are necessary. This proposed 

AD would continue to require the 

actions in AD 2021–04–05 and require 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations. The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by December 15, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites you to send any 

written relevant data, views, or 

arguments about this proposal. Send 

your comments to an address listed 

under ADDRESSES. Include ‘‘Docket No. 

FAA–2022–1308; Project Identifier 

MCAI–2022–00532–T’’ at the beginning 

of your comments. The most helpful 

comments reference a specific portion of 

the proposal, explain the reason for any

Except for Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) as described in the 

following paragraph, and other 

information as described in 14 CFR 

11.35, the FAA will post all comments 

received, without change, to 

regulations.gov, including any personal 

information you provide. The agency 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact received 

about this NPRM. 

Confidential Business Information 

CBI is commercial or financial 

information that is both customarily and 

actually treated as private by its owner. 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

contain commercial or financial 

information that is customarily treated 

as private, that you actually treat as 

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Gabriel Kim, 

Aerospace Engineer, Airframe and 

Propulsion Section, FAA, New York 

ACO Branch, 1600 Stewart Avenue, 

Suite 410, Westbury, NY 11590; 

telephone 516–228–7300; email 9-avsnyaco-cos@faa.gov. Any commentary 

that the FAA receives which is not 

specifically designated as CBI will be 

placed in the public docket for this 

rulemaking. 

Background 

The FAA issued AD 2021–04–05, 

Amendment 39–21426 (86 FR 10799, 

February 23, 2021) (AD 2021–04–05), 

which applies to certain Airbus Canada 

Limited Partnership Model BD–500– 

1A10 and BD–500–1A11 airplanes. AD 

2021–04–05 requires revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations. AD 2021–04–05 resulted 

from a determination that new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations are 

necessary. The FAA issued AD 2021– 

04–05 to address reduced structural 

integrity of the airplane or reduced 

controllability of the airplane. 

Actions Since AD 2021–04–05 Was 

Issued 

Since the FAA issued AD 2021–04– 

05, the FAA has determined that new or 

more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations are necessary. 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF– 

2022–18, dated April 14, 2022 (TCCA 

AD CF–2022–18) (also referred to after 

this as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe 

condition for certain Airbus Canada 

Limited Partnership Model BD–500– 

1A10 and BD–500–1A11 airplanes. 

Airplanes with an original airworthiness 

certificate or original export certificate 

of airworthiness issued after February 3, 

2022, must comply with the 

airworthiness limitations specified as 

part of the approved type design and 

referenced on the type certificate data 

sheet; this proposed AD therefore does 

not include those airplanes in the 

applicability. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2022–1308. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

a determination that new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations are 

necessary. The FAA is proposing this 

AD to address reduced structural 

integrity of the airplane or reduced 

controllability of the airplane.

Limitations, BD500–3AB48–11400–02, 

Issue 014.00, dated February 3, 2022. 

This service information describes 

airworthiness limitations for fuel tank 

systems, safe life limits, and 

certification maintenance requirements. 

This proposed AD would also require 

Airbus Canada Limited Partnership 

A220 Airworthiness Limitations, 

BD500–3AB48–11400–02, Issue 011.00, 

dated June 18, 2020, which the Director 

of the Federal Register approved for 

incorporation by reference as of March 

30, 2021 (86 FR 10799, February 23, 

2021). 

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. 

FAA’s Determination 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with the State 

of Design Authority, the FAA has been 

notified of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI and service 

information referenced above. The FAA 

is proposing this AD because the FAA 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM 

This proposed AD would retain all of 

the requirements of AD 2021–04–05. 

This proposed AD would require 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations. Revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program as proposed in this AD would 

terminate the retained requirements 

from AD 2021–04–05 in paragraph (g) of 

this proposed AD, for Sections 01, 

‘‘Airworthiness limitations— 

Introduction;’’ 02, ‘‘Certification 

maintenance requirements—General;’’ 

04, ‘‘ALI structural inspections— 

General;’’ 05, ‘‘Life limited parts 

(systems)—General;’’ 06, ‘‘Life limited 

parts (structures)—General;’’ 07, ‘‘Fuel 

system limitations—General;’’ 08, 

‘‘Critical design configuration control 

limitations—General;’’ 09, ‘‘Power plant 

limitations—General;’’ 10, ‘‘Structural 

repair limitations—General;’’ and 11, 

‘‘Limit of validity—General;’’ of Airbus 

Canada Limited Partnership A220 

Airworthiness Limitations, BD500– 

3AB48–11400–02, Issue 011.00, dated 

June 18, 2020, only. 

This proposed AD would require 

revisions to certain operator 

maintenance documents to include new 

actions (e.g., inspections) and Critical 

Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with 

these actions and CDCCLs is required by 

14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that 

have been previously modified, altered, 

or repaired in the areas addressed by 

this proposed AD, the operator may not 

be able to accomplish the actions 

described in the revisions. In this 

situation, to comply with 14 CFR 

91.403(c), the operator must request 

approval for an alternative method of 

compliance according to paragraph 

(k)(1) of this proposed AD. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI 

TCCA AD CF–2022–18 specifies to 

incorporate all sections of the 

airworthiness limitations document. 

This proposed AD would not require the 

incorporation of Section 03, ‘‘Candidate 

CMR limitations—General,’’ of Airbus 

Canada Limited Partnership A220 

Airworthiness Limitations, BD500– 

3AB48–11400–02, Issue 014.00, dated 

February 3, 2022. However, this 

proposed AD would continue to require 

the incorporation of Section 03, 

‘‘Candidate CMR limitations—General,’’ 

of Airbus Canada Limited Partnership 

A220 Airworthiness Limitations, 

BD500–3AB48–11400–02, Issue 011.00, 

dated June 18, 2020. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD affects 70 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this proposed AD: 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the retained actions from 

AD 2021–04–05 to be $7,650 (90 workhours × $85 per work-hour). 

The FAA has determined that revising 

the maintenance or inspection program 

takes an average of 90 work-hours per 

operator, although the agency 

recognizes that this number may vary 

from operator to operator. Since 

operators incorporate maintenance or 

inspection program changes for their 

affected fleet(s), the FAA has 

determined that a per-operator estimate 

is more accurate than a per-airplane 

estimate. Therefore, the agency 

estimates the average total cost per 

operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours × 

$85 per work-hour). 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the new proposed actions to 

be $7,650 (90 work-hours × $85 per 

work-hour). 

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. 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault 

Aviation Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2020–21–19, which applies to certain 

Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 

900EX airplanes. AD 2020–21–19 

requires revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations. 

Since the FAA issued AD 2020–21–19, 

the FAA has determined that new or 

more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations are necessary. This proposed 

AD would continue to require the 

actions in AD 2020–21–19 and would 

require revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate additional 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations, as specified in a European 

Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 

AD, which is proposed for incorporation 

by reference (IBR). The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by December 27, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

regulations.gov. Follow the instructions 

for submitting comments. 

• Fax: 202–493–2251.

• Hand Delivery: Deliver to Mail 

address above between 9 a.m. and 5 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. 

AD Docket: You may examine the AD 

docket at regulations.gov under Docket 

No. FAA–2022–1411; or in person at 

Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 

5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains this NPRM, the mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI), any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

Docket Operations is listed above.
