Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the 
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This 
proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information 
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to 
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The 
MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    Seven cases of on-ground hydraulic accumulator screw cap/end cap 
failure have been experienced on CL-600-2B19 aeroplanes, resulting 
in the loss of the associated hydraulic system and high-energy 
impact damage to adjacent systems and structure. * * *
* * * * *
    A detailed analysis of the calculated line of trajectory of a 
failed screw cap/end cap for each of the accumulators has been 
conducted, resulting in the identification of several areas where 
systems and/or structural components could potentially be damaged. 
Although all of the failures to date have occurred on the ground, an 
in-flight failure affecting such components could potentially have 
an adverse effect on the controllability of the aeroplane.
* * * * *
The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the 
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 15, 2011.

Discussion

    On October 7, 2010, we issued AD 2010-22-02, Amendment 39-16481 (75 
FR 64636, October 20, 2010). That AD required actions intended to 
address an unsafe condition on Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes.
    Since we issued AD 2010-22-02, we have determined that further 
rulemaking is necessary. While AD 2010-22-02 did not require the 
removal of the hydraulic system No. 3 accumulator, or replacement of 
the hydraulic system No. 1, inboard brake, and outboard brake 
accumulators, as specified in Part IV and Part VII of the Canadian 
Airworthiness Directive CF-2010-24, dated August 3, 2010, this NPRM 
proposes to require those actions. Also, for airplanes on which 
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-29-035, dated May 11, 2010, is done 
and reducer having part number MS21916D8-6 installed, this NPRM 
proposes to require replacing the reducer with a new reducer. We have 
coordinated with Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) on this issue.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 601R-29-035, Revision A; and 
Service Bulletin 601R-32-107, Revision B; both dated December 8, 2010. 
The actions described in this service information as outlined in the 
``Discussion'' section above, are intended to correct the unsafe 
condition identified in the MCAI.

Change to Existing AD

    This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2010-22-02. 
Since AD 2010-22-02 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:

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.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in 
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it 
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the 
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these 
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information 
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those 
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are 
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

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 2010-22-02 and retained in this 
proposed AD take about 19 work-hours per product, at an average labor 
rate of $85 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost 
of the currently required actions is $1,615 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 14 work-hours per product to 
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average 
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would 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 costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for 
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated 
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD 
on U.S. operators to be $2,567,620, or $4,244 per product.

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

FAA AD Differences

    Note 3:  This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service 
information as follows: 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 (o) of this AD apply to all accumulators in the positions 
specified in paragraphs (h), (i), and (o) of this AD.


    Note 4:  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 (q) of this 
AD does.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (t) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, New 
York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), ANE-170, FAA, has the 
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the

your appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a principal 
inspector, the manager of the local flight standards district 
office/certificate holding district office. The AMOC approval letter 
must specifically reference this AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain 
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these 
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered 
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority 
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product 
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
