SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF– 

2020–49R1, dated May 20, 2021 (TCCA 

AD CF–2020–49R1) (also referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or the 

MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD– 

700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 airplanes. 

You may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0832. 

The FAA 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 

BD–700–1A10 and BD–700–1A11 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on September 27, 2021 

(86 FR 53246). The NPRM was 

prompted by reports of internal 

corrosion on the inboard flaps found 

prior to regularly scheduled 

maintenance checks. The NPRM 

proposed to require revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate a certain 

AMM task. The FAA is issuing this AD 

to address internal corrosion on the 

inboard flaps, which could result in 

reduced structural integrity, detachment 

of the flap, and consequent reduced 

controllability of the airplane. See the 

MCAI for additional background 

information. 

Comments 

The FAA received comments from an 

individual who supported the NPRM 

without change. 

The FAA received comments from 

Bombardier, Inc., and NetJets QC. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Change Address for 

Obtaining Service Information 

Bombardier asked that the address for 

obtaining its service information be 

updated. Bombardier stated that its 

contact information has changed since 

issuance of the NPRM. 

The FAA agrees with the commenter 

and have changed the address for 

obtaining service information 

throughout this final rule accordingly. 

Request To Clarify Why AMM Task 

Number Was Used 

NetJets QC asked if there is a reason 

why the AMM task number was used 

instead of the time limits maintenance 

checks (TLMC) task number. 

The FAA acknowledges the 

commenter’s request for clarification. 

TCCA AD CF–2020–49R1 references 

TLMC tasks for Models BD–700–1A10 

and BD–700–1A11, but Part 3 of the 

TLMC document specifies that all tasks 

in that section are Maintenance Review 

Board Report (MRBR) tasks. The FAA 

cannot require MRBR tasks because 

those tasks do not provide precise 

instructions on how the tasks must be 

done. Therefore, the AMM task for each 

airplane model is referenced in this AD, 

and the FAA has not changed this AD 

in this regard. 

Request To Refer to Most Recent AMM 

Revision Level 

Bombardier asked that the AMM task 

revision levels identified in the NPRM 

be changed, as there have been recent 

improvements to the documents. 

Bombardier added that credit for the 

revisions currently listed should also be 

included in the proposed AD. 

Bombardier noted that the referenced 

AMM revision levels were revised 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
36384 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 117 / Friday, June 17, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

during the public comment period of 

the NPRM. 

The FAA disagrees with the 

commenter’s request. This AD requires 

incorporating the information provided 

in the referenced AMM revisions 

specified in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of 

this AD. The language in paragraph (g) 

of this AD allows the incorporation of 

the specific information, regardless of 

the AMM revision level in use, provided 

the language is identical to the 

information provided in Task 57–51– 

00–290–801 specified in the applicable 

AMMs in specified in figure 1 to 

paragraph (g) of this AD. The language 

in a later revision of the applicable 

AMMs specified in figure 1 to paragraph 

(g) of this AD may be incorporated. 

Therefore, if operators incorporate later 

AMMs into the maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, they 

are in compliance with paragraph (g) of 

this AD. The FAA has confirmed that 

the revisions cited by the commenter are 

identical to the revisions specified in 

this AD. 

If the language provided in a later 

AMM revision is not identical to the 

language provided in the task specified 

in the applicable AMMs specified in 

figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD, 

operators must submit a request for 

approval of an alternate method of 

compliance (AMOC) with supporting 

data that demonstrates an acceptable 

level of safety for a task that differs from 

Task 57–51–00–290–801. 

The FAA has not changed this AD 

regarding this request. 

Request To Change ‘‘Unsafe Condition’’ 

to ‘‘Potential Unsafe Condition’’ 

Bombardier asked that the FAA 

change references to the ‘‘unsafe 

condition’’ in the preamble of the NPRM 

to ‘‘potential unsafe condition.’’ 

Bombardier provided no justification for 

this request. 

The FAA disagrees with the 

commenter’s request. The definition of 

the unsafe condition in this final rule 

was determined by findings of internal 

corrosion on the inboard flaps. In 

addition, the unsafe condition was 

addressed in the background section of 

TCCA AD CF–2020–49R1. Stating that 

there is potential for an unsafe 

condition is misleading as it would 

imply that corrosion wasn’t found 

previously. Therefore, the FAA has not 

changed this final rule regarding this 

request. 

Request To Change Description of the 

Unsafe Condition in Paragraph (e) of 

the Proposed AD 

Bombardier asked that the language 

describing the unsafe condition 

specified in paragraph (e) of the 

proposed AD be changed to add more 

detail, as follows: ‘‘The FAA is issuing 

this AD to supplement operator’s 

maintenance program by mandating a 

periodic inspection of the internal 

structures of the flaps to prevent a 

possible reduction in the structural 

integrity, detachment of the flap, and 

consequent reduced controllability of 

the airplane.’’ Bombardier provided no 

justification for this request. 

The FAA disagrees with the 

commenter’s request. The purpose of 

the description of the unsafe condition 

in paragraph (e) of this AD is to indicate 

why a problem is unsafe and the 

possible results and ultimate 

consequences if the unsafe condition is 

not corrected. The FAA is issuing this 

AD to address the unsafe condition by 

requiring revision of the existing 

maintenance or inspection program by 

mandating inspections of the internal 

structures of the flaps to address the 

internal corrosion. The FAA is not 

issuing this AD to ‘‘supplement the 

operator’s maintenance program by 

mandating a periodic inspection of the 

internal structures to prevent a possible 

reduction in the structural integrity.’’ 

The FAA has not changed this AD in 

this regard. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this 

final rule with the changes described 

previously and minor editorial changes. 

The FAA has determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

addressing the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

The FAA also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this final rule.

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 141 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this AD: 

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). 

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 

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) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(3) 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Airbus SAS Model A330–200 series 

airplanes, Model A330–200 Freighter 

series airplanes, and Model A330–300 

series airplanes. This AD was prompted 

by a determination that certain service 

information specified in AD 2018–20– 

19 contained instructions that could be 

misleading, resulting in a necessary 

inspection not being accomplished on 

certain airplanes. This AD requires a 

rototest for certain modified airplanes 

for any crack around the right-side 

upper and lower bulk door support or 

door latch fitting holes at certain bulk 

cargo door frames, or repetitive 

inspections for any crack at certain 

fittings, and on-condition actions, as 

specified in a European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is 

incorporated by reference. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 22, 

2022. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of July 22, 2022.
