SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF–2010–30R2, dated July 30, 2019, (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for all De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate previously held by Bombardier, Inc.) Model DHC–8–400, –401, and –402 airplanes. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2020–0099. The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2010–23–04, Amendment 39–16493 (75 FR 68174, November 5, 2010) (‘‘AD 2010–23–04’’). AD 2010–23–04 applied to all De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC–8–400 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on March 12, 2020 (85 FR 14423). The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracked nacelle attachment fittings, which a preliminary investigation determined to be caused by stress corrosion, and a determination that it is necessary to install new nacelle attachment fittings in order to address the unsafe condition. The NPRM proposed to continue to require repetitive detailed inspections of the nacelle attachment fittings for cracks, a conductivity inspection of the nacelle attachment fittings, and replacement if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to remove a certain inspection requirement for certain airplanes, and add a new requirement to replace the rear spar fitting and nacelle attaching structure with a new nacelle attachment fitting. The FAA is issuing this AD to address reports of cracked nacelle attachment fittings, which, if not detected and corrected, could compromise the structural integrity of the nacelle attachment fitting and possibly result in collapse of the landing gear. See the MCAI for additional background information. editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for addressing 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 The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service Bulletin 84–54–14, Revision K, dated August 7, 2018. This service bulletin describes procedures for a conductivity inspection of the nacelle attachment fittings, repetitive detailed inspections of the nacelle attachment fittings for cracks, and replacement of the fitting. Bombardier, Inc. has also issued Service Bulletin 84–54–16, Revision D, dated August 7, 2018. This service information describes procedures for replacing the rear spar nacelle attachment fitting and associated structure with a new nacelle attachment fitting, part number (P/N) 8Z9305. The replacement includes applicable related investigative and corrective actions. The related investigative actions include an inspection of the internal bore and external surface of the main landing gear yoke pins, the drag strut pins, and the stabilizer brace pins for signs of corrosion and damage; and an inspection of the inner bore and outer surface of the coat hangar pins for signs of corrosion and damage. The corrective actions include repair, rework, or replacement. Bombardier, Inc. has also issued Modification Summary Package IS4Q5400012, Revision B, dated July 11, 2012. This service information describes procedures for applying a fay sealant gasket to the rear spar access fitting access panel. 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. Conclusion Costs of Compliance The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for minor The FAA estimates that this AD affects 54 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD: Comments jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Retained actions from AD 2010– 23–04.

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. The FAA is 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 The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

July 14, 2020 Airworthiness Directives; De Havilland Aircraft of
Canada Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.)
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-23-
04, which applied to all De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model
DHC-8-400 series airplanes. AD 2010-23-04 required repetitive detailed
inspections of the nacelle attachment fittings for cracks, a
conductivity inspection of the nacelle attachment fittings, and
replacement if necessary. This AD continues to require these
inspections and replacement if necessary, removes a certain inspection
requirement for certain airplanes, and adds a new requirement to
replace the rear spar fitting and nacelle attaching structure with a
new nacelle attachment fitting. This AD was prompted by a determination
that it is necessary to do a replacement with new nacelle attachment
fittings. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on

authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2010-30R2, dated July
30, 2019, (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all
De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate previously
held by Bombardier, Inc.) Model DHC-8-400, -401, and -402 airplanes.
You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2020-
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2010-23-04, Amendment 39-16493 (75 FR
68174, November 5, 2010) (``AD 2010-23-04''). AD 2010-23-04 applied to
all De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-400 series
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on March 12, 2020
(85 FR 14423). The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracked nacelle
attachment fittings, which a preliminary investigation determined to be
caused by stress corrosion, and a determination that it is necessary to
install new nacelle attachment fittings in order to address the unsafe
condition. The NPRM proposed to continue to require repetitive detailed
replacement if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to remove a certain
inspection requirement for certain airplanes, and add a new requirement
to replace the rear spar fitting and nacelle attaching structure with a
new nacelle attachment fitting. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
reports of cracked nacelle attachment fittings, which, if not detected
and corrected, could compromise the structural integrity of the nacelle
attachment fitting and possibly result in collapse of the landing gear.
Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service Bulletin 84-54-14, Revision K,
dated August 7, 2018. This service bulletin describes procedures for a
conductivity inspection of the nacelle attachment fittings, repetitive
detailed inspections of the nacelle attachment fittings for cracks, and
replacement of the fitting.
Bombardier, Inc. has also issued Service Bulletin 84-54-16,
Revision D, dated August 7, 2018. This service information describes
procedures for replacing the rear spar nacelle attachment fitting and
associated structure with a new nacelle attachment fitting, part number
(P/N) 8Z9305. The replacement includes applicable related investigative
and corrective actions. The related investigative actions include an
inspection of the internal bore and external surface of the main
landing gear yoke pins, the drag strut pins, and the stabilizer brace
pins for signs of corrosion and damage; and an inspection of the inner
bore and outer surface of the coat hangar pins for signs of corrosion
and damage. The corrective actions include repair, rework, or
Bombardier, Inc. has also issued Modification Summary Package
IS4Q5400012, Revision B, dated July 11, 2012. This service information
describes procedures for applying a fay sealant gasket to the rear spar
access fitting access panel.
