ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–600–1A11 

(CL–600), CL–600–2A12 (CL–601 

Variant), and CL–600–2B16 (CL–601– 

3A, CL–601–3R, and CL–604 Variants) 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by a 

new life limitation that has been 

introduced for the side brace fitting 

shaft and side brace-to-airplane fitting 

pin of the main landing gear (MLG). 

This AD requires revising the 

maintenance or inspection program. 

This AD also requires an inspection to 

identify the serial number, to serialize, 

and to record the accumulated life of the 

side brace fitting shaft of the MLG. We 

are issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective October 27, 

2017. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of October 27, 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 

CL–600–1A11 (CL–600), CL–600–2A12 

(CL–601 Variant), and CL–600–2B16 

(CL–601–3A, CL–601–3R, and CL–604 

Variants) airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 7, 2017 (82 FR 26403) (‘‘the 

NPRM’’). 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2016–17R2, 

dated June 29, 2016 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

44310 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL– 

600–1A11 (CL–600), CL–600–2A12 (CL– 

601 Variant), and CL–600–2B16 (CL– 

601–3A, CL–601–3R, and CL–604 

Variants) airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Based on in-service experience, a new life 

limitation has been introduced for the 

following side brace fitting shaft part 

numbers: 

• 600–10237–1/–5 

• 600–10237–3 

• 601R10237–1/–3 

In order to facilitate identification and 

tracking, the component must be identified 

and serialized. Bombardier has revised the 

Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC) 

Manual to include new life limits and issued 

Service Bulletins (SB) for serialization of the 

affected parts. 

The original version of this [Canadian] AD 

was issued to mandate the incorporation of 

the new TLMC life limits as well as 

identification and serialization of the affected 

parts. The revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD 

was issued * * * June [10,] 2016 to correct 

a typographic error in Table A of the 

Corrective Actions section. The revision 2 of 

this [Canadian] AD is being issued to correct/ 

update the TLMC data in Table A of the 

Corrective Actions section. 

Required actions include an 

inspection to identify the serial number, 

to serialize, and to record the 

accumulated life of the side brace fitting 

shaft of the MLG. The unsafe condition 

is the loss of structural integrity of the 

affected part. 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–2017–0511. 

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 have reviewed the following 

service information. This service 

information describes the life limits for 

the side brace fitting shaft and side 

brace-to-airplane fitting pin of the MLG. 

This service information is distinct 

since it applies to different airplane 

models in different configurations.

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 133 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Maintenance or inspection program revision .. 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ................. $0 $85 $11,305

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. 

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 44311 

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, 

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.

[Docket No. FAA–2016–9588; Airspace 

Docket No. 16–AAL–5] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace, 

Soldotna, AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Soldotna 

Airport, Soldotna, AK. After review of 

the airspace, the FAA found redesign 

necessary due to procedure 

modifications. This action also removes 

reference to the Soldotna nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) in the 

legal description and updates the 

geographic coordinates of the airport. 

This action enhances the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport and of aircraft within the 

National Airspace System. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 7, 

2017. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends 

Class E airspace at Soldotna Airport, 

Soldotna, AK, to conform the airspace 

size necessary for the current 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

under standard instrument approach 

and departure procedures at the airport.
