 Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 39
[Docket No. FAA-2009-0656; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-038-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64
 AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
 ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
 SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: There have been several cases of wing leading edge anti-ice piccolo duct failure reported on CL-600-2B19 (CRJ) aircraft. Upon investigation, it was determined that ducts manufactured since May 2000 are susceptible to cracking due to the process used to drill holes in the ducts. This cracking may cause air leakage, with a possible adverse effect on the anti-ice air distribution pattern and anti-ice capability, without annunciation to the flight crew [and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane]. It has subsequently been determined that faulty ducts may also have been installed in a number of leading edge assemblies built as spares and whose current locations are not specifically known. The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
 DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 24, 2009.

                     section. Include “Docket No. FAA-2009-0656; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-038-AD” at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this proposed AD based on those comments. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to 
                    *http://www.regulations.gov*, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this proposed AD. Discussion On November 4, 2008, we issued AD 2008-23-16, Amendment 39-15737 (73 FR 67363, November 14, 2008). That AD required actions intended to address an unsafe condition on the products listed above. The preamble to AD 2008-23-16 explains that we consider those requirements “interim action” and were considering further rulemaking. We now have determined that further rulemaking is indeed necessary to require the previously optional terminating action, and this proposed AD follows from that determination. Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, previously issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2008-30, dated October 7, 2008 (referred to after this as “the MCAI”), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The unsafe condition is cracked piccolo ducts, which could result in air leakage, a possible adverse effect on the anti-ice distribution pattern and anti-ice capability without annunciation to the flight crew, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. Required actions include revising the airplane 
                    ( print page 36629)
                    flight manual, inspecting to determine if certain anti-ice piccolo ducts are installed, and replacing or repairing the piccolo duct if necessary. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 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. Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information provided in the MCAI and related service information. We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD. Costs of Compliance Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 711 products of U.S. registry. The actions that are required by AD 2008-23-16 and retained in this proposed AD take about 3 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently required actions on U.S. operators is $170, 640, or $240 per product. We estimate that it would take about 12 work-hours per product to comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $0 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 costs. 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 $682,560, or $960 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); 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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation

 The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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
  2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15737 (73 FR 67363, November 14, 2008) and adding the following new AD: **Bombardier, Inc. (Formerly Canadair):**
                                 Docket No. FAA-2009-0656; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-038-AD. Comments Due Date (a) We must receive comments by August 24, 2009. Affected ADs (b) The proposed AD supersedes AD 2008-23-16, Amendment 39-15737. Applicability (c) This AD applies to Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, certificated in any category; serial numbers (S/Ns) 7003 through 7067 inclusive, 7069 through 7990 inclusive, 8000 through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 through 8092 inclusive, 8096, and 8097. Subject (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 30: Ice and rain protection. Reason (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: There have been several cases of wing leading edge anti-ice piccolo duct failure reported on CL-600-2B19 (CRJ) aircraft. Upon investigation, it was determined that ducts manufactured since May 2000 are susceptible to cracking due to the process used to drill holes in the ducts. This cracking may cause air leakage, with a possible adverse effect on the anti-ice air distribution pattern and anti-ice capability, without annunciation to the flight crew [and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane]. The faulty ducts were installed on aircraft SN 7417 through 7990 and 8000 through 8055 in production, and as replacement parts on in service aircraft SN 7014, 7017, 7037, 7046, 7059, 7076, 7105, 7127, 7151, 7157, 7163, 7179, 7203, 7228, 7271, 7347, 7359, 7362, 7378 and 7381. Service Bulletin (SB) 601R-30-029, Revision B and AD CF-2005-26R1 previously covered the above aircraft serial numbers. It has subsequently been determined that faulty ducts may also have been installed in a number of leading edge assemblies built as spares and whose current locations are not specifically known. As they may have been installed on any of the aircraft serial numbers in the Applicability section of this directive, checking of records and/or inspection * * * is now required for all applicable aircraft.
                                ( print page 36630) This directive, which supersedes and cancels AD CF-2005-26R1 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2005-17-12, amendment 39-14223], mandates the amendment of the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) procedures, in addition to checking the part numbers and serial numbers of installed and spare wing anti-ice piccolo ducts, as required, and inspecting, replacing or repairing them as necessary. Terminating action is also introduced. Required actions include revising the airplane flight manual, inspecting to determine if certain anti-ice piccolo ducts are installed, and replacing or repairing the piccolo duct if necessary. Restatement of Requirements of AD 2005-17-12 Identification of Affected Piccolo Tubes (f) Unless already done, for airplanes having S/Ns 7013, 7017, 7037, 7046, 7059, 7076, 7105, 7127, 7151, 7157, 7163, 7174, 7179, 7203, 7204, 7228, 7271, 7347, 7362, 7378, 7417 through 7990 inclusive, 8000 through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 through 8092 inclusive, 8096 and 8097: Before the airplane accumulates 3,000 total flight hours, or within 14 days after September 7, 2005 (the effective date of AD 2005-17-12, which was superseded by AD 2008-23-16), whichever occurs later, determine whether any affected piccolo tube is installed on the airplane. Affected piccolo tubes are identified in paragraph 1.A. of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005. Doing the action required by paragraph (p), (q), (r), (w), or (y) of this AD terminates the requirements of this paragraph. Revision to Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) (g) Unless already done, for airplanes with an affected or unidentifiable piccolo tube found during the action required by paragraph (f) of this AD: Before the airplane accumulates 3,000 total flight hours, or within 14 days after September 7, 2005, whichever occurs later, revise the Operating Limitations and Abnormal Procedures sections of the Canadair Regional Jet AFM, CSP A-012, to include the information in Canadair Temporary Revision (TR) RJ/155, dated July 5, 2005, as specified in the TR. This may be done by inserting a copy of the TR into the AFM. This TR introduces new procedures for operation in icing conditions. Operate the airplane according to the limitations and procedures in the TR except as required by paragraph (n) of this AD. When this TR has been included in general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in the TR. After the AFM revision required by paragraph (n) of this AD has been done, remove the AFM limitation specified in this paragraph. Optional Inspections (h) Unless already done, for airplanes with an affected or unidentifiable piccolo tube found during the action required by paragraph (f) of this AD: The operating limitations and abnormal procedures specified in Canadair TR RJ/155, dated July 5, 2005, as required by paragraph (g) of this AD, may be removed from the AFM, provided all requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied. (1) A fluorescent dye penetrant inspection for cracks of the piccolo tubes is done and repeated thereafter within 2,000-flight-hour intervals in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005. An inspection done before September 7, 2005, in accordance with Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, dated June 17, 2005, is acceptable for compliance with the requirements of paragraph (h)(1) of this AD. Doing the inspection required by paragraph (u) of this AD terminates the actions required by this paragraph. (2) All applicable corrective actions are done as specified in paragraph (j) of this AD. AFM Limitations Required for Exceeding Inspection Interval (i) Unless already done, for airplanes having S/Ns 7013, 7017, 7037, 7046, 7059, 7076, 7105, 7127, 7151, 7157, 7163, 7174, 7179, 7203, 7204, 7228, 7271, 7347, 7362, 7378, 7417 through 7990 inclusive, 8000 through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 through 8092 inclusive, 8096 and 8097: During any period in which the inspection interval exceeds 2,000 flight hours after the initial inspection specified in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD, the airplane must be operated under the limitations and abnormal procedures specified in paragraph (g) of this AD. Doing the action required by paragraph (p), (q), (r), (w), or (y) of this AD terminates the requirements of this paragraph. Corrective Action (j) Unless already done, if any crack is found during any inspection required by paragraph (h) of this AD: Before further flight, do the actions specified in paragraph (j)(1), (j)(2), (j)(3), (j)(4), or (j)(5) of this AD, except as required by paragraph (k) of this AD. (1) Replace the cracked piccolo tube, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, with a new piccolo tube that has the same part number as identified in paragraph 1.A. of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, but that does not have a serial number listed in that paragraph. (2) Replace the cracked piccolo tube, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, with a new piccolo tube that has a part number identified in the applicable Bombardier illustrated parts catalog but not identified in paragraph 1.A. of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, or with a new piccolo tube identified in paragraph (l) of this AD. (3) Replace the cracked piccolo tube, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, with a piccolo tube that has been inspected in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, is not cracked, and has not accumulated any air time (hours time-in-service) since inspection. (4) Replace the cracked piccolo tube with a piccolo tube that has been repaired in accordance with a method approved by either the Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), ANE-172, FAA; or Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) (or its delegated agent); and has not accumulated any air time (hours time-in-service) since the repair. (5) Reinstall the cracked piccolo tube and operate the airplane in accordance with a method approved by either the Manager, New York ACO, or TCCA (or its delegated agent). Operation in accordance with the provisions of Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) entry 30-12-03 is acceptable for compliance with the requirements of this paragraph. Exception to Service Bulletin Procedures (k) Unless already done: Where Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, specifies that Bombardier may be contacted for information regarding repair, this AD requires repair according to a method approved by either the Manager, New York ACO, or TCCA (or its delegated agent). Optional Terminating Action for Paragraphs (f), (g), (h), (i), and (j) (l) Unless already done, for airplanes having S/Ns 7013, 7017, 7037, 7046, 7059, 7076, 7105, 7127, 7151, 7157, 7163, 7174, 7179, 7203, 7204, 7228, 7271, 7347, 7362, 7378, 7417 through 7990 inclusive, 8000 through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 through 8092 inclusive, 8096 and 8097: Installation, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, of a complete set of new inboard, center, and outboard piccolo tubes, as identified in paragraphs (l)(1), (l)(2), and (l)(3) of this AD, terminates the requirements of paragraphs (f), (g), (h), (i), and (j) of this AD. When these piccolo tubes have been installed, remove the Operating Limitations and Abnormal Procedures, if inserted in accordance with paragraph (g) of this AD, from the AFM. (1) For the inboard piccolo tube: P/N 601-80032-7 (14432-107) and 601-80032-8 (14432-108). (2) For the center piccolo tube: P/N 14464-105 and 14464-106. (3) For the outboard piccolo tube: P/N 14463-109 and 14463-110. Parts Installation (m) Unless already done, for airplanes having S/Ns 7013, 7017, 7037, 7046, 7059, 7076, 7105, 7127, 7151, 7157, 7163, 7174, 7179, 7203, 7204, 7228, 7271, 7347, 7362, 7378, 7417 through 7990 inclusive, 8000 through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 through 8092 inclusive, 8096 and 8097: As of September 7, 2005, no person may install, on any airplane, a piccolo tube having a P/N listed in paragraph 1.A. of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, unless the applicable 
                                ( print page 36631)
                                requirements of paragraphs (f) through (l) of this AD have been accomplished for that piccolo tube before the effective date of this AD or the requirements specified in paragraph (v) of this AD have been accomplished. As of December 1, 2008 (the effective date of AD 2008-23-16), the requirements of paragraph (v) of this AD must be followed. Restatement of Requirements of AD 2008-23-16 Revision to AFM (n) Unless already done: For all airplanes, within 14 days after December 1, 2008, revise the Operating Limitations and Abnormal Procedures sections of the Canadair Regional Jet AFM, CSP A-012, to include the information in Canadair (Bombardier) TR RJ/155-6, dated September 17, 2008, as specified in that TR. This may be done by inserting a copy of Canadair (Bombardier) TR RJ/155-6 into the AFM. This TR introduces new procedures for operation in icing conditions. After the AFM revision specified in this paragraph has been done, the AFM limitation required by paragraph (g) of this AD must be removed from the AFM. Note 1: When Canadair (Bombardier) TR RJ/155-6, dated September 17, 2008, has been included in general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in Canadair (Bombardier) TR RJ/155-6. (o) Unless already done: Before further flight after accomplishing paragraph (n) of this AD, operate the airplane according to the limitations and procedures in Canadair (Bombardier) TR RJ/155-6, dated September 17, 2008, except that MMEL entry 30-12-03, which permits the wing anti-ice system to be inoperative with specific provisions, is not affected by this AD. Records Check (p) Unless already done, for airplanes having S/Ns 7003 through 7013 inclusive, 7015, 7016, 7018 through 7036 inclusive, 7038 through 7045 inclusive, 7047 through 7058 inclusive, 7060 through 7067 inclusive, 7069 through 7075 inclusive, 7077 through 7104 inclusive, 7106 through 7126 inclusive, 7128 through 7150 inclusive, 7152 through 7156 inclusive, 7158 through 7162 inclusive, 7164 through 7178 inclusive, 7180 through 7202 inclusive, 7204 through 7227 inclusive, 7229 through 7270 inclusive, 7272 through 7346 inclusive, 7348 through 7358 inclusive, 7360, 7361, 7363 through 7377 inclusive, 7379, 7380, 7382 through 7416 inclusive, 8056 through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 though 8092 inclusive, 8096 and 8097: Within 30 days after December 1, 2008, review the airplane maintenance records to determine if any anti-ice piccolo ducts or complete leading edge sections have been replaced since May 1, 2000. Doing the review in this paragraph terminates the requirements of paragraphs (f) and (i) of this AD. Doing the action specified in paragraph (w) or (y) of this AD terminates the requirements of this paragraph. (1) If no anti-ice piccolo ducts and no complete leading edge sections have been replaced since May 1, 2000, no further action is required by this paragraph. (2) If any anti-ice piccolo duct or complete leading edge section has been replaced since May 1, 2000, or if it cannot be conclusively determined that no anti-ice piccolo ducts and no complete leading edge sections have been replaced since May 1, 2000, before further flight, inspect the serial numbers of the replaced ducts. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the serial number of the duct can be conclusively determined from that review.
