Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2A12 (CL-601 Variant), and CL-
600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by a report that a potential chafing condition
exists between the negative-G fuel feed drain line of the auxiliary
power unit (APU) and its surrounding structure and components. This
proposed AD would require, for certain airplanes, a detailed inspection
for chafing conditions of the negative-G fuel feed drain line of the
APU, and corrective actions if necessary. For certain other airplanes,
this proposed AD would require replacement of the APU negative-G fuel
feed tube assembly and the drain line. We are proposing this AD to
prevent a chafing condition in the negative-G fuel feed drain line,
which can result in fuel leaking from the drain line. Leakage of the
negative-G fuel feed drain line is a dormant failure. This condition,
in combination with a nearby hot surface or other potential ignition
source, could result in an uncontrolled fire in the aft equipment bay.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 12, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2015-26, dated September 14, 2015 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-
2A12 (CL-601 Variant) and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604
Variants) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    It was reported that a potential chaffing condition exist
between the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) negative-G fuel feed drain
line and its surrounding structure and components. Leakage of the
negative-G fuel feed drain line is a dormant failure, however, in
combination with a nearby hot surface or other potential ignition
source, could result in an uncontrolled fire in the aft equipment
bay.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates [for certain airplanes] the detailed
visual inspection [for chafing conditions, e.g., fouling between the
drain line and other components and insufficient clearance] and, if
required, rectification [corrective actions], to ensure required
clearance between the APU negative-G fuel feed drain line and its
surrounding structure and components [and, for certain other
airplanes, this [Canadian] AD mandates replacement of the APU
negative-G fuel feed tube assembly and the drain line].

    Corrective actions include replacing the APU negative-G fuel feed
drain line. 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-2016-7418.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier, Inc. has issued the following service information:
     Service Bulletin 601-0640, dated May 19, 2015; and Service
Bulletin 604-28-021 dated May 19, 2015. The service information
describes procedures for a detailed inspection for chafing conditions
of the negative-G fuel feed drain line of the APU, and corrective
actions.
     Service Bulletin 605-28-009, dated May 19, 2015. The
service information describes procedures for a detailed inspection for
chafing conditions of the negative-G fuel feed drain line of the APU,
replacement of the APU negative-G fuel feed tube assembly and the drain
line, and corrective actions.
    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 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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 504 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 22 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $6,334
per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $4,134,816 or $8,204 per product.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD requires installing new in-line fuses
for the fuel level float switch and new in-line fuses for the pressure
switch, as applicable, and changing the wiring. The proposed actions
would affect the left and right wing forward spars, center wing forward
spar, forward auxiliary fuel tank, and aft auxiliary fuel tank, as
applicable. This AD was prompted by fuel system reviews conducted by
the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent the potential of
ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with
flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and
consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective May 6, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference

of a certain publication listed in the AD as of May 6, 2011.

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
the specified products. That NPRM published in the Federal Register on
October 8, 2010 (75 FR 62331). That NPRM proposed to require installing
new in-line fuses for the fuel level float switch and new in-line fuses
for the pressure switch, as applicable, and changing the wiring.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request Revision of FAA AD 2008-11-15

    Aeropostal requested that we issue this AD as a revision to
existing AD 2008-11-15. Aeropostal stated that the requirement of
installing fuses in the proposed AD is incorporated by Boeing Critical
Design Configuration Control Limitation (CDCCL) 20-13 of Twinjet
Special Compliance Items Report, MDC-92K9145, Revision J, dated January
26, 2010.
    We disagree with the request to revise AD 2008-11-15. AD 2008-11-15
requires incorporation of Boeing Twinjet Special Compliance Items
Report, MDC-92K9145, Revision G, dated June 7, 2007, which does not
include CDCCL 20-13. This proposed AD does not require incorporating
CDCCL 20-13. This AD requires the installation of new in-line fuses for
the fuel level float switch and new in-line fuses for the pressure
switch. We might consider future rulemaking to revise AD 2008-11-15 to
include CDCCL 20-13. No change has been made to AD 2008-11-15 or this
AD in this regard.

Request for Clarification

    Aeropostal requested clarification concerning the NPRM and whether
it will satisfy the requirements of AD 2008-11-15.
    We agree that clarification is needed. AD 2008-11-15 requires
revising the maintenance program or the Airworthiness Limitations (AWL)
section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate
new AWLs for fuel tank systems, in accordance with Boeing Twinjet
Special Compliance Items Report, MDC-92K9145, Revision G, dated June 7,
2007. This AD has different requirements including the installation of
new in-line fuses for the fuel level float switch and new in-line fuses
for the pressure switches. No change has been made to this AD in this
regard.

Explanation of Change Made to the 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 available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the change described previously. We have determined that
this change:
     Is consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Does not add any additional burden upon the public than
was already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that this change will not increase the economic
burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 275 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60176; File No. SR-NYSEAmex-2009-30]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change by NYSE Amex LLC To Extend
Through September 30, 2009, Its Waiver of Registered Representative
Fees for New York Stock Exchange Member Organizations

June 25, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on June 23, 2009, NYSE Amex LLC (the ``Exchange'' or ``NYSE Amex'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which
Items have been prepared by NYSE Amex. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to extend through September 30, 2009, its
waiver of registered representative fees for New York Stock Exchange
(``NYSE'') member organizations. The text of the proposed rule change
is available at the Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference Room,
and http://www.nyse.com.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In connection with the acquisition of the American Stock Exchange
(renamed NYSE Amex after the acquisition) by NYSE Euronext, all
equities trading conducted on or through the American Stock Exchange
legacy trading systems and facilities located at 86 Trinity Place, New
York, New York, was moved on December 1, 2008, to the NYSE trading
facilities and systems located at 11 Wall Street, New York, New York
(the ``NYSE Amex Trading Systems''), which are operated by the NYSE on
behalf of NYSE Amex (the ``Equities Relocation''). At the time of the
Equities Relocation, by operation of NYSE Amex Equities Rule 2, all
NYSE member organizations automatically became NYSE Amex member
organizations. By acquiring NYSE Amex membership, the NYSE member
organizations that were not previously NYSE Amex members would become
subject to the NYSE Amex registration fees for all of their employees
who serve as registered representatives. As these NYSE member
organizations that had no NYSE Amex business prior to the Equities
Relocation became NYSE Amex members without any action on their own
part, NYSE Amex waived the application of its registered representative
fees to those firms for the month of December. At that time, NYSE Amex
stated that it expected to submit a filing to adopt a revised
registered representative fee commencing January 1, 2009.\3\ The waiver
was subsequently extended until June 30, 2009.\4\ NYSE Amex has not yet
determined how best to revise its registration fees in light of the
accession to NYSE Amex membership of these NYSE member organizations.
As such, NYSE Amex believes that it is appropriate to continue for the
present its waiver of registered representative fees payable by member
organizations which acquired their membership automatically in
connection with the Equities Relocation. NYSE Amex will submit an
amended filing to the Commission at such time as it wishes to end this
waiver. In any event, the waiver as extended by this filing will expire
on September 30, 2009. Consequently, NYSE Amex must submit a filing on
or prior to that date to either adopt a new fee approach or to further
extend the term of the waiver.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Act Release 59045 (December 3, 2008), 73 FR
75151 (December 10, 2008) (SR-NYSEALTR-2008-09).
    \4\ See Exchange Act Release 59170 (December 29, 2008), 74 FR
486 (January 6, 2009) (SR-NYSEALTR-2008-19).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    References to the Exchange in Footnote 2 of the NYSE Amex Options
Price List are being changed in this filing from ``NYSE Alternext US''
and ``NYSE Alternext'' to ``NYSE Amex,'' to

properly reflect the Exchange's current name.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 \5\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \6\ in general and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \7\ in
particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members
and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that the
proposal does not constitute an inequitable allocation of dues, fees
and other charges as the waiver of registered representative fees
applies only to firms that became NYSE Amex member organizations
automatically without any action on their part and in spite of the fact
that they did not conduct any NYSE Amex business.

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \8\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-
4 \9\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by NYSE Amex.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
