ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc., Model BD–100–1A10 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

reports of low clearance in the aft 

equipment bay between auxiliary power 

unit (APU) generator power cables and 

a hydraulic line, which can cause 

damage to wire insulation. This AD 

requires an inspection of the APU 

generator power cables and the adjacent 

hydraulic line for damage, and repair, if 

necessary; and modification of the APU 

generator power cable installation. We 

are issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective October 2, 

2017. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of October 2, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We 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–100–1A10 airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 19, 2017 (82 FR 22913) (‘‘the 

NPRM’’). The NPRM was prompted by 

reports of low clearance in the aft 

equipment bay between APU generator 

power cables and a hydraulic line, 

which can cause damage to wire 

insulation. The NPRM proposed to 

require an inspection of the APU 

generator power cables and the adjacent 

hydraulic line for damage, and repair, if 

necessary; and modification of the APU 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 165 / Monday, August 28, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 40691 

generator power cable installation. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent electrical 

arcing from power cables, which could 

cause a fire in the aft equipment bay. 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2016–28, 

dated September 15, 2016 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD– 

100–1A10 airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Low clearance between the APU generator 

power cables and a hydraulic return line was 

found in the Aft Equipment Bay (AEB) on 

some aeroplanes in service. Absence of 

clearance can cause damage to the insulation 

of the wire, which can lead to a fault in the 

APU electrical system or arcing with the 

metallic hydraulic return line and could 

cause a fire in the AEB. 

This [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate 

an [general visual] inspection [for damage] of 

the APU generator power cables and the 

hydraulic return line, [and repair, if 

necessary] and a modification of the clamp 

arrangement to give sufficient clearance 

between the power cables and the hydraulic 

return line. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2017– 

0481. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Bombardier Service 

Bulletin 100–24–28, dated July 27, 2016; 

and Bombardier Service Bulletin 350– 

24–003, dated July 27, 2016. This 

service information describes 

procedures for the inspection of the 

APU generator power cables and 

adjacent hydraulic line for damage, and 

repair, if necessary; and modification of 

the APU generator power cable 

installation. These documents are 

distinct since they apply to different 

airplane configurations. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 162 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Inspect and modify cables .............................. 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ................. (1) $85 $13,770 

1 We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide cost estimates for the parts cost associated with the modification specified in this AD. 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary repairs that would be 

required based on the results of the 

inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these repairs: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Repair .............................................. Up to 5 work-hours × $85 per hour = Up to $425 .................................... (1) Up to $425. 

1We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide cost estimates for the parts cost associated with the repair specified in 

this AD. 

According to the manufacturer, all of 

the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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. 

This AD is issued in accordance with 

authority delegated by the Executive 

Director, Aircraft Certification Service, 

as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. 

In accordance with that order, issuance 

of ADs is normally a function of the 

Compliance and Airworthiness 

Division, but during this transition 

period, the Executive Director has 

delegated the authority to issue ADs 

applicable to transport category 

airplanes to the Director of the System 

Oversight Division. 

Regulatory Findings 

We 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, 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with RULES
40692 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 165 / Monday, August 28, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

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. 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.
