Airworthiness Directives;
Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) that applies to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The existing AD currently
requires revising certain sections of a certain airplane flight manual,
deactivating certain hydraulic accumulators, removing certain hydraulic
accumulators, ultrasonic inspections for cracks on accumulators and
screw caps and replacement if necessary, and replacing certain
accumulators. Since we issued that AD, we have determined that, for
certain airplanes, reducing the compliance time for a certain
replacement is necessary to ensure that the identified unsafe condition
is addressed. This proposed AD would continue to require the existing
actions from the existing AD. We are proposing this AD to detect and
correct hydraulic accumulator screw cap/end cap failure, which could
result in the loss of the associated hydraulic system and high-energy
impact damage to adjacent systems and structure, and consequent
loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 4, 2012.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion


On October 20, 2011, we issued AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859
(76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011). That AD required actions intended to
address an unsafe condition on certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-
2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes.

Since we issued AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241,
November 17, 2011), we have determined that the compliance time
specified in paragraph (n) of this proposed AD (referred to as
paragraph (q) in AD 2011-23-08) must be clarified. We are including the
phrase, "whichever occurs first," in paragraph (n)(1) of this AD,
which requires operators to perform the action at the earlier of the
times. We have determined that the proposed reduced compliance time is
necessary to address the identified unsafe condition in a timely
manner. This compliance time also matches the compliance time given in
Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2010-24, dated August 3, 2010.

We have also determined that certain phrases need to be added and
certain phrases need to be removed from certain credit paragraphs of
this AD. We have revised paragraphs (o)(4) and (o)(5) of this proposed
AD to specify "before December 22, 2011 (the effective date of AD
2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011)),"
instead of "before November 4, 2010." We have revised paragraph
(o)(2) of this AD by removing "hydraulic system No. 1" because the
service information in paragraph (o)(2) does not specify to remove the
hydraulic system No. 1 accumulator. We have also revised paragraph
(o)(2) of this proposed AD by removing Bombardier Service Bulletin
601R-32-107, Revision A, dated June 17, 2010, because credit for that
service bulletin is already given in paragraph (m) of this proposed AD.
You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

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 AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Changes to Existing AD


This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2011-23-08,
Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011). Since AD 2011-23-
08 was issued, the AD format has been revised, and certain paragraphs
have been rearranged. As a result, the corresponding paragraph
identifiers have changed in this proposed AD, as listed in the
following table:

REVISED PARAGRAPH IDENTIFIERS

REQUIREMENT IN AD 2011-23-08, AMENDMENT 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, NOVEMBER 17, 2011)
CORRESPONDING REQUIREMENT IN THIS PROPOSED AD
paragraph (l).......................................
paragraph (p)(1)
paragraph (m).......................................
paragraph (p)(2)
paragraph (n).......................................
paragraph (p)(3)
paragraph (o).......................................
paragraph (l)
paragraph (p).......................................
paragraph (m)
paragraph (q).......................................
paragraph (n)
paragraph (r).......................................
paragraph (o)(4)
paragraph (s).......................................
paragraph (o)(5)

We have also revised paragraph (j) (paragraph (j) of AD 2011-23-08,
Amendment 39-16859 (76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011)) of this proposed
AD to refer to paragraph (k) of this AD instead of paragraph (l)(1)
(paragraph (l) of AD 2011-23-08) for the applicable compliance times.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information


The actions specified in Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2010-
24, dated August 3, 2010, apply only to Tactair accumulators. The
actions required by paragraphs (h), (i), and (m) of this proposed AD
apply to all accumulators in the positions specified in paragraphs (h),
(i), and (l) of this proposed AD.

While Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2010-24, dated August 3,
2010, does not require replacement of the reducer of the hydraulic
system No. 1 with a new reducer, paragraph (n) of this proposed AD does.

Costs of Compliance


Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 605 products of U.S. registry.

The actions that are required by AD 2011-23-08, Amendment 39-16859
(76 FR 71241, November 17, 2011), and retained in this proposed AD take
about 33 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per
work hour. Required parts cost about $3,054 per product. Where the
service information lists required parts costs that are covered under
warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these parts.
As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some
parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these
figures, the estimated cost of the currently required actions is $5,859
per product.

The new requirements of this proposed AD add no additional economic
burden.

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


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.

We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.
