Model DHC and DHC Series Airplanes, and Model DHC-8-301, -311, and -315 Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Model DHC and DHC series airplanes, and DHC-8-301, -311, and -315 airplanes. This AD requires implementing a corrosion prevention and control program (CPCP) either by accomplishing specific tasks or by revising the maintenance inspection program to include a CPCP. This AD results from the determination that, as airplanes age, they are more likely to exhibit indications of corrosion. We are issuing this AD to prevent structural failure of the airplane due to corrosion. DATES: This AD is effective April 8, The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 8, ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact Bombardier, Inc., 400 Côte- Vertu Road West, Dorval, Québec H4S 1Y9, Canada; telephone ; fax ; e- mail Internet Examining the AD Docket You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at or in person at the Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

9 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Yates, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe and Mechanical Systems Branch, ANE-171, FAA, New York Aircraft Certification Office, 1600 Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, New York 11590; telephone (516) ; fax (516) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to certain Bombardier Model DHC and DHC series airplanes, and DHC-8-301, -311, and -315 airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2009 (74 FR 40778). That NPRM proposed to require implementing a corrosion prevention and control program (CPCP) either by accomplishing specific tasks or by revising the maintenance inspection program to include a CPCP. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We considered the comment received from the single commenter. Request for Clarification of Inspections Mesa Airlines requests that we restate that the inspections required by paragraph (h) of this AD to specify to inspect for Environmental Damage and/or Corrosion Protection and Control Program (ED/CPCP). The commenter asserts that the NPRM would require only tasks identified as both ED and CPCP. Mesa Airlines notes that accomplishing the ED/CPCP inspections only does not encompass the Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Codes listed in the NPRM. We agree. Canadian AD CF , dated April 10, 2007, describes doing ''ED/CPCP'' inspections. The required actions include ''ED'' inspections and inspections identified as both ''ED'' and ''CPCP.'' We have clarified this in paragraph (h) of this AD. This has been coordinated with TCCA. We have also revised paragraphs (i) and (i)(2) of this AD to clarify the inspections. Explanation of Change Made to This AD We have revised this AD to identify the legal name of the manufacturer as published in the most recent type certificate data sheet for the affected airplane models. Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD. Explanation of Change to Costs of Compliance Since issuance of the NPRM, we have increased the labor rate used in the Costs of Compliance from $80 per work-hour to $85 per work-hour. The Costs of Compliance information, below, reflects this increase in the specified hourly labor rate. 2
10 Costs of Compliance This AD affects about 154 airplanes of U.S. registry. There are between 16 and 17 specific inspections, depending on the applicable manual identified in Table 1 of this AD. The inspections take about 53 work hours per airplane, per inspection cycle, at an average labor rate of $85 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of this AD for U.S. operators is $693,770, or $4,505 per airplane, per inspection cycle. 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 This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 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 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. You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of compliance in the AD Docket.
