procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class D airspace, Class E
surface airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at the Tri-Cities Airport, Pasco, WA. After a
biennial review of the airspace, the FAA found modification of the
airspace necessary for the safety and management of aircraft departing
and arriving under IFR operations at the airport. The Class D airspace
area would be expanded from the existing 4.3 miles to 4.8 miles, west
of the airport, from the 255[deg] radial to the 12[deg] radial and two
segments extending 5.8 miles southwest and northeast of the airport
would be added. The cutout of the Class D airspace for Vista Airport
would be eliminated, as Vista Airport is closed. The Class E surface
airspace would be adjusted to coincide with the dimensions of the Class
D airspace. The Class E airspace designated as an extension to the
Class D and Class E surface area would be removed as they are no longer
needed for IFR operations. The Class E airspace extending 700 feet
above the surface would be decreased to an 11 mile radius of the
airport with segments extending from the 11 mile radius to 13 miles
northeast and southeast of the airport and a segment 4 miles south and
9 miles north of a 226 degree bearing from the airport extending to 15
miles southwest of the airport. These actions are necessary to
accommodate RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures and for
the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class D airspace and Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraph 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005 respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9X,
dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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)

does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would modify controlled airspace at Central Airport, Pasco, WA.
    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, &
702) airplanes; Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes;
and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes. This AD was
prompted by reports of aileron control stiffness. This AD requires
revising the maintenance program to incorporate the discard task for
outboard wing aileron pulleys. We are issuing this AD to prevent
aileron control stiffness during flight, which could result in reduced
controllability of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 4, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 4,
2012.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on November 8, 2011 (76
FR 69161). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    A number of reports of aileron control stiffness have been
received on Bombardier Regional Jet aeroplanes. Bombardier has
reviewed the current maintenance tasks for the aileron control
system and determined that an additional maintenance task is
required.
    This directive mandates revision of the approved maintenance
schedule to incorporate the discard task for outboard wing aileron
pulleys to prevent aileron control stiffness during flight which
could result in reduced controllability of the aeroplane.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received. The commenter, Air Line
Pilots Association, International, supports the NPRM (76 FR 69161,
November 8, 2011).

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD as proposed, except for minor editorial changes. We have determined
that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (76 FR 69161, November 8, 2011) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 69161, November 8, 2011).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 398 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be $33,830, or $85 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 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 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (76 FR 69161, November 8,
2011), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations office
(telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will
be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.
