14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0268; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-050-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional
Jet Series 700, 701 & 702), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and
CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) 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. 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:

    Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the
aircraft fuel system against fuel tank safety standards introduced
in Chapter 525 of the Airworthiness Manual through Notice of
Proposed Amendment (NPA) 2002-043. The identified non-compliances
were then assessed using Transport Canada Policy Letter No. 525-001,
to determine if mandatory corrective action is required.
    The assessment showed that it is necessary to introduce Critical
Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL), in order to
preserve critical fuel tank system ignition source prevention
features during configuration changes such as modifications and
repairs, or during maintenance actions. Failure to preserve critical
fuel tank system ignition source prevention features could result in
a fuel tank explosion. * * *

The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2008-07, dated January 25, 2008 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the
aircraft fuel system against fuel tank safety standards introduced
in Chapter 525 of the Airworthiness Manual through Notice of
Proposed Amendment (NPA) 2002-043. The

identified non-compliances were then assessed using Transport Canada
Policy Letter No. 525-001, to determine if mandatory corrective
action is required.
    The assessment showed that it is necessary to introduce Critical
Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL), in order to
preserve critical fuel tank system ignition source prevention
features during configuration changes such as modifications and
repairs, or during maintenance actions. Failure to preserve critical
fuel tank system ignition source prevention features could result in
a fuel tank explosion. Revision has been made to Bombardier CL-600-
2C10, CL-600-2D15, CL-600-2D24 Maintenance Requirements Manual, CSP
B-053, Part 2, Section 3, ``Fuel System Limitations'' to introduce
the required CDCCL.

The corrective action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section
of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to include the CDCCL
data. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the
AD docket.
    The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in fuel
tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the
adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes
subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for
fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, we issued a
regulation titled ``Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review,
Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements''
(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards
for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this rule
included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (``SFAR 88,''
Amendment 21-78, and subsequent Amendments 21-82 and 21-83).
    Among other actions, SFAR 88 requires certain type design (i.e.,
type certificate (TC) and supplemental type certificate (STC)) holders
to substantiate that their fuel tank systems can prevent ignition
sources in the fuel tanks. This requirement applies to type design
holders for large turbine-powered transport airplanes and for
subsequent modifications to those airplanes. It requires them to
perform design reviews and to develop design changes and maintenance
procedures if their designs do not meet the new fuel tank safety
standards. As explained in the preamble to the rule, we intended to
adopt airworthiness directives to mandate any changes found necessary
to address unsafe conditions identified as a result of these reviews.
    In evaluating these design reviews, we have established four
criteria intended to define the unsafe conditions associated with fuel
tank systems that require corrective actions. The percentage of
operating time during which fuel tanks are exposed to flammable
conditions is one of these criteria. The other three criteria address
the failure types under evaluation: single failures, single failures in
combination with a latent condition(s), and in-service failure
experience. For all four criteria, the evaluations included
consideration of previous actions taken that may mitigate the need for
further action.
    We have determined that the actions identified in this AD are
necessary to reduce 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.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued CRJ 700/900 Series Regional Jet Temporary
Revision 2-222, dated March 30, 2006, to Section 3, ``Fuel System
Limitations,'' of Part 2 of Bombardier CL-600-2C10, CL-600-2D15 and CL-
600-2D24 Maintenance Requirements Manual CSP B-053. The actions
described in this service information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

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.
    This proposed AD would allow revising the Airworthiness Limitations
Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness in
accordance with later revisions of the maintenance requirements manual
(MRM) as an acceptable method of compliance if the CDCCL is part of a
later approved MRM revision, or if the CDCCL is approved as an
alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the
procedures specified in paragraph (g)(1) of this proposed AD.
    In most ADs, we adopt a compliance time allowing a specified amount
of time after the AD's effective date. In this case, however, the FAA
has already issued regulations that require operators to revise their
maintenance/inspection programs to address fuel tank safety issues. The
compliance date for these regulations is December 16, 2008. To provide
for coordinated implementation of these regulations and this proposed
AD, we are using this same compliance date in this proposed AD.

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 297 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 1 work-hour per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $23,760, or $80 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Bombardier, Inc. (Formerly Canadair): Docket No. FAA-2008-0268;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-050-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by April 10, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10
(Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet
Series 705), and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) Airplanes,
certificated in any category, all serial numbers.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the
aircraft fuel system against fuel tank safety standards introduced
in Chapter 525 of the Airworthiness Manual through Notice of
Proposed Amendment (NPA) 2002-043. The identified non-compliances
were then assessed using Transport Canada Policy Letter No. 525-001,
to determine if mandatory corrective action is required.
    The assessment showed that it is necessary to introduce Critical
Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL), in order to
preserve critical fuel tank system ignition source prevention
features during configuration changes such as modifications and
repairs, or during maintenance actions. Failure to preserve critical
fuel tank system ignition source prevention features could result in
a fuel tank explosion. Revision has been made to Bombardier CL-600-
2C10, CL-600-2D15, CL-600-2D24 Maintenance Requirements Manual, CSP
B-053, Part 2, Section 3, ``Fuel System Limitations'' to introduce
the required CDCCL.
The corrective action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations
Section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to include
the CDCCL data.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 60 days after the effective date of this AD, or
before December 16, 2008, whichever occurs first, revise the ALS of
the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate the
CDCCL data specified in CRJ 700/900 Series Regional Jet (Bombardier)
Temporary Revision 2-222, dated March 30, 2006, to Section 3, ``Fuel
System Limitations,'' of Part 2 of Bombardier CL-600-2C10, CL-600-
2D15 and CL-600-2D24 Maintenance Requirements Manual CSP B-053.

    Note 1: The actions required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD may
be done by inserting a copy of the applicable TR into the applicable
maintenance requirements manual. When the TR has been included in
the general revision of the maintenance program, the general
revision may be inserted into the maintenance requirements manual,
provided the relevant information in the general revision is
identical to that in the applicable TR, and the temporary revision
may be removed.

    (2) After accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph
(f)(1) of this AD, no alternative CDCCLs may be used unless the
CDCCLs are part of a later revision of Section 3, ``Fuel System
Limitations,'' of Part 2 of Bombardier CL-600-2C10, CL-600-2D15 and
CL-600-2D24 Maintenance Requirements Manual CSP B-053, Revision 9,
dated July 20, 2007, that is approved by the Manager, New York
Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, or Transport Canada Civil
Aviation (or its delegated agent); or unless the CDCCLs are approved
as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the
procedures specified in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, New
York Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, has the authority to
approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found
in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Mazdak Hobbi, Aerospace

5531. Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the
AMOC applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in
the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI,
your local FSDO.
    (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.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, the collection instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The following sections describe who use the information collected
under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purposes of
these requirements are to address the burden hours associated with
gathering information to complete the OSHA 70 Form. The OSHA 70 Form is
used by applicants seeking accreditation from OSHA to be able to test
or examine certain equipment and material handling devices as required
under the maritime regulations, part 1915 (Shipyard Employment), part
1917 (Marine Terminals), and part 1918 (Longshoring). The OSHA 70 Form
application for accreditation provides an easy means for companies to
apply for accreditation.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions to
protect workers, including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection, and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the Gears Certification Standard.
The agency is requesting that there is no change in burden hours in the
information collection requirements of this standard. The costs are
adjusted due to updated calculations.
    OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to this
notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB to extend
the approval of the information collection requirements.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Gear Certification Standard (29 CFR part 1919).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0003.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 664.
    Frequency of Responses: Varies.
    Total Responses: 5,035.
    Average Time per Response: Varies.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 109.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $2,612,500.

    Title: NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 60, subpart J).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1054.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0022.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2008.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum
Refineries were promulgated on March 8, 1974. These regulations apply
to the following affected facilities in petroleum refineries: Fluid
catalytic cracking unit catalyst regenerators, fuel gas combustion
devices, and Claus sulfur recovery plants of more than 20 long tons per
day commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the
date of proposal.
    Affected sources are required to complete initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators are also
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources
subject to NSPS.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 50
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Petroleum refineries.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 132.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 14,134.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,682,453, which is comprised of
$541,464 in Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs, $1,140,989 in labor
costs, and no annualized capital/start-up costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens.
