Discussion The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued Airworthiness Directive 2016–0071, dated April 11, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 85169 Defense and Space S.A. Model CN–235, CN–235–100, CN–235–200, and CN– 235–300 airplanes, and Model C–295 airplanes. The MCAI states: Leakage of a motorised cross-feed fuel valve Part Number (P/N) 7923227F was reported on a CN–235–100M aeroplane. The leakage was observed through the valve electrical connectors and detected during accomplishment of a functional check in accordance with the CN–235 aeroplane Maintenance Review Board Report (MRB– PV01M), task 28.007. Identical motorised fuel valves are installed on CN–235 and C–295 aeroplanes, corresponding to civil type design, as cross-feed, shut-off and defueling valves, as applicable to aeroplane model and configuration. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to failure of a motorised fuel valve and consequent improper fuel system functioning or, in case of the presence of an ignition source, possibly resulting in an aeroplane fire. To address this potentially unsafe condition, Airbus Defense & Space (D&S) issued Alert Operators Transmission (AOT)– CN235–28–0001 and AOT–C295–28–0001 to provide inspection instructions. For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires an inspection of the affected motorised fuel valves and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective action(s) [(valve replacement)]. 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–2016– 9386. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 Airbus Defense and Space S.A. has issued AOT–CN235–28–0001, dated February 19, 2016; and AOT–C295–28– 0001, dated February 19, 2016. The service information describes procedures for inspecting and replacing the motorized fuel valves. The service information also describes procedures for reporting inspection findings. These documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane models. 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. 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 E:\FR\FM\25NOP1.SGM 25NOP1 85170 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 227 / Friday, November 25, 2016 / Proposed Rules AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these same type designs. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this proposed AD affects 14 airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD: ESTIMATED COSTS Action Labor cost Inspection ................................ Reporting ................................ 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ..................................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......................................... We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements that would Cost per product Parts cost be required based on the results of the proposed inspection. We have no way of $0 0 Cost on U.S. operators $170 85 $2,380 1,190 determining the number of airplanes that might need these replacements: ON-CONDITION COSTS Action Labor cost Replacement .................................... 5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $425 ........................................................ Paperwork Reduction Act A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control number for the collection of information required by this proposed AD is 2120– 0056. The paperwork cost associated with this proposed AD has been detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with this proposed AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information Collection Clearance Officer, AES–200. ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:01 Nov 23, 2016 Jkt 241001 Parts cost 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); 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.

and Space S.A. Model CN-235, CN-235-100, CN-235-200, and CN-235-300
airplanes, and Model C-295 airplanes. The MCAI states:
Leakage of a motorised cross-feed fuel valve Part Number (P/N)
7923227F was reported on a CN-235-100M aeroplane. The leakage was
observed through the valve electrical connectors and detected during
accomplishment of a functional check in accordance with the CN-235
aeroplane Maintenance Review Board Report (MRB-PV01M), task 28.007.
Identical motorised fuel valves are installed on CN-235 and C-295
aeroplanes, corresponding to civil type design, as cross-feed, shut-
off and defueling valves, as applicable to aeroplane model and
failure of a motorised fuel valve and consequent improper fuel
system functioning or, in case of the presence of an ignition
source, possibly resulting in an aeroplane fire.
To address this potentially unsafe condition, Airbus Defense &
Space (D&S) issued Alert Operators Transmission (AOT)-CN235-28-0001
and AOT-C295-28-0001 to provide inspection instructions.
For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires an
inspection of the affected motorised fuel valves and, depending on
findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective action(s) [(valve
replacement)].
Airbus Defense and Space S.A. has issued AOT-CN235-28-0001, dated
February 19, 2016; and AOT-C295-28-0001, dated February 19, 2016. The
service information describes procedures for inspecting and replacing
the motorized fuel valves. The service information also describes
procedures for reporting inspection findings. These documents are
distinct since they apply to different airplane models. This service
