SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all BAE 

Systems (Operations) Limited Model 

ATP airplanes. This AD requires 

repetitive inspections for environmental 

damage, including corrosion, of the 

fuselage and wing structure, and 

corrective actions if necessary. This AD 

results from information indicating the 

potential for environmental damage of 

the fuselage and wing structure. We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct 

such damage, including corrosion, in 

the fuselage and wing structure, which 

could result in cracking and consequent 

reduced structural integrity of the 

fuselage and wing structure. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

October 21, 2005. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), 

which is the airworthiness authority for 

the United Kingdom, notified us that an 

unsafe condition may exist on all BAE 

Systems (Operations) Limited Model 

ATP airplanes. The CAA advises that 

there is a potential for environmental 

damage of the fuselage and wing 

structure. New inspections for 

environmental damage were added to 

the ATP Maintenance Review Board 

58294 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 193 / Thursday, October 6, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

(MRB) Report and the Maintenance 

Planning Document (MPD). However, 

no compliance statements were 

included in these documents to advise 

operators when the first inspections 

must be performed. Environmental 

damage such as corrosion, if not 

corrected, could result in cracking and 

consequent reduced structural integrity 

of the fuselage and wing structure. 

Relevant Service Information 

BAE Systems (Operations) Limited 

has issued Service Bulletin ATP–51–

001, dated August 14, 2002. The service 

bulletin describes procedures for 

repetitive detailed visual inspections for 

environmental damage, including but 

not limited to corrosion, of the fuselage 

and wing structure, and corrective 

actions if necessary. If damage is found, 

the service bulletin specifies to refer to 

the structural repair manual (SRM) for 

corrective action (repair). If the damage 

is outside the limits specified in the 

SRM, the service bulletin specifies to 

contact the manufacturer for repair 

instructions. The service bulletin also 

specifies reporting the inspection results 

to the manufacturer. The service 

bulletin specifies that the repetitive 

interval for the inspections in the 

service bulletin is stated in the MRB 

Report and the MPD. This repetitive 

interval is 8 years. 

Accomplishing the actions specified 

in the service information is intended to 

adequately address the unsafe 

condition. The CAA mandated BAE 

Systems (Operations) Limited Service 

Bulletin ATP–51–001 to ensure the 

continued airworthiness of these 

airplanes in the United Kingdom. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

This airplane model is manufactured 

in the United Kingdom and is type 

certificated for operation in the United 

States under the provisions of section 

21.29 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and the 

applicable bilateral airworthiness 

agreement. Pursuant to this bilateral 

airworthiness agreement, the CAA has 

kept the FAA informed of the situation 

described above. We have examined the 

CAA’s findings, evaluated all pertinent 

information, and determined that we 

need to issue an AD for products of this 

type design that are certificated for 

operation in the United States. 

Therefore, we are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct environmental 

damage, including corrosion, of the 

fuselage and wing structure, which 

could result in cracking and consequent 

reduced structural integrity of the 

fuselage and wing structure. This AD 

requires accomplishing the actions 

specified in BAE Systems (Operations) 

Limited Service Bulletin ATP–51–001, 

described previously, except as 

discussed under ‘‘Differences Between 

the AD and Service Information.’’

Clarification of Inspection Terminology 

In this AD, the ‘‘detailed visual 

inspections’’ specified in BAE Systems 

(Operations) Limited Service Bulletin 

ATP–51–001 are referred to as ‘‘detailed 

inspections.’’ We have included the 

definition for a detailed inspection in a 

note in the AD. 

Differences Between the AD and 

Service Information 

If damage is found that is outside the 

limits specified in the SRM, BAE 

Systems (Operations) Limited Service 

Bulletin ATP–51–001 specifies 

reporting the details of the damage to InService Engineering and asking for 

repair instructions. This AD requires 

repairing any damage that is outside the 

limits specified in the SRM in 

accordance with a method that we or 

the CAA (or its delegated agent) 

approve. In light of the type of repair 

that would be required to address the 

unsafe condition, and consistent with 

existing bilateral airworthiness 

agreements, we have determined that, 

for this AD, a repair we or the CAA 

approve would be acceptable for 

compliance with this AD. 

BAE Systems (Operations) Limited 

Service Bulletin ATP–51–001 specifies 

reporting the inspection results to the 

manufacturer. This AD does not require 

that action. 

Costs of Compliance 

None of the airplanes affected by this 

action are on the U.S. Register. All 

airplanes affected by this AD are 

currently operated by non-U.S. 

operators under foreign registry; 

therefore, they are not directly affected 

by this AD action. However, we 

consider this AD necessary to ensure 

that the unsafe condition is addressed if 

any affected airplane is imported and 

placed on the U.S. Register in the future. 

If an affected airplane is imported and 

placed on the U.S. Register in the future, 

the required actions would take about 

44 work hours per airplane, at an 

average labor rate of $65 per work hour. 

Based on these figures, the estimated 

cost of the AD would be $2,860 per 

airplane, per inspection cycle. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

No airplane affected by this AD is 

currently on the U.S. Register. 

Therefore, providing notice and 

opportunity for public comment is 

unnecessary before this AD is issued, 

and this AD may be made effective in 

less than 30 days after it is published in 

the Federal Register. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements that affect flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment; 

however, we invite you to submit any 

relevant written data, views, or 

arguments regarding this AD. Send your 

comments to an address listed in the 

ADDRESSES section. Include ‘‘Docket No. 

FAA–2005–22583; Directorate Identifier 

2002–NM–303–AD’’ at the beginning of 

your comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of the AD that might suggest a 

need to modify it. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

dms.dot.gov, including any personal 

information you provide. We will also 

post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact with FAA 

personnel concerning this AD. Using the 

search function of that web site, anyone 

can find and read the comments in any 

of our dockets, including the name of 

the individual who sent the comment 

(or signed the comment on behalf of an 

association, business, labor union, etc.). 

You may review the DOT’s complete 

Privacy Act Statement in the Federal 

Register published on April 11, 2000 

(65 FR 19477–78), or you may visit 

http://dms.dot.gov. 

Examining the Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov, or in 

person at the Docket Management 

Facility office between 9 a.m. and 5 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. The Docket 

Management Facility office (telephone 

(800) 647–5227) is located on the plaza 

level of the Nassif Building at the DOT 

street address stated in the ADDRESSES

section. Comments will be available in 

the AD docket shortly after the Docket 

Management System receives them. 

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, 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 193 / Thursday, October 6, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 58295 

‘‘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 have 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 the 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); 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

See the ADDRESSES section for a location 

to examine the regulatory evaluation.
