  Subject:    Vinyl Institute Concentration Data Base for EPA PVC MACT Rule

Dear Ms. Howard,

During our August 24, 2010 meeting at your office, the Vinyl Institute
displayed a data base that utilized concentrations from submitted data
per the Section 114 Request.   EPA expressed an interest in obtaining
our data base.  Please accept our apologies for the late submission of
this information, but our members wanted to be sure the information was
properly vetted before it was submitted for your consideration and use.
The attached letter provides additional support explanation about the
data base as well.  We trust that EPA finds this information of
interest.  Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions that
may arise.

Regards,

Richard Krock

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov, or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR part
63, subpart R) apply to existing and new: (1) Bulk gasoline terminals
with throughputs greater than 75,700 liters/day; and (2) pipeline
breakout stations. New facilities include those that commenced
construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal.
    Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply
with reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements for the NESHAP General
Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the specific
requirements at 40 CFR part 63, subpart R. This includes submitting
initial notification reports, performance tests and periodic reports
and results, maintaining 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, and submitting annual reports certifying area source
status if an area source is within 50 percent of major source threshold
criteria. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with
the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of gasoline
distribution facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart R.).
    Estimated number of respondents: 102 major source and 390 area
sources (492 total).
    Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 15,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,160,000 (per year), which includes
$305,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The regulations have not changed
over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the
next three years. The growth rate for the industry is very low,
negative or non-existent. The decrease in costs is due to an adjustment
in the number of respondents with O&M costs. A re-examination of the
rule and background documents indicates that

the monitoring requirements and associated O&M costs apply only to the
87 major source bulk gasoline terminals.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

F. What Information is EPA Particularly Interested in?

Pursuant to section 3506( c)( 2)( A) of the PRA, EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to: 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility. 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burdens of the proposed collections of information. 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected. 4. Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated or electronic collection technologies or other forms of information technology, e. g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

II. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply to?

EPA is seeking comments on the following ICR: Title: TSCA Section 402 and Section 404 Training and Certification, Accreditation and Standards for Lead Based Paint Activities. ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1715.06, OMB Control No. 2070 0155. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on August 31, 2004. 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, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. Abstract: This information collection applies to reporting and recordkeeping requirements found in sections 402 and 404 of the Toxic Substances Control Act ( TSCA) and applicable regulations at 40 CFR part 745. The purposes of the requirements under TSCA section 402 are to ensure that individuals conducting activities that prevent, detect, and eliminate hazards associated with lead based paint in residential facilities, particularly those occupied or used by children, are properly trained and certified, that training programs providing instruction in such activities are accredited, and that these activities are conducted according to reliable, effective, and safe work practice standards. The TSCA section 404 regulations include reporting and recordkeeping requirements that apply to states and Indian tribes that seek Federal authorization to administer and enforce state and tribal programs that regulate lead based paint activities based on the section 402 regulations. The overall goals of the section 402 and section 404 regulations and the reporting and recordkeeping requirements found therein are to ensure the availability of a trained and qualified workforce to identify and address lead based paint hazards in residences, and to protect the general public from exposure to lead hazards. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory ( see 40 CFR part 745). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.

III. What are EPA's Burden and Cost Estimates for this ICR?

Under PRA, `` 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. For this collection it 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; 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized in this notice. The annual public burden for this collection of information is estimated to range between 0.4 hours and 79.6 hours per response, depending on the type of respondent. The following is a summary of the estimates taken from the ICR: Respondents/ affected entities: Companies or firms that provide training in lead based paint activities; companies or firms that are engaged in lead based paint activities; state agencies that administer lead based paint activities. Estimated average annual number of potential respondents: 23,430. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total/ average number of responses for each respondent: Highly variable, depending upon type of respondent. Estimated total average annual burden hours: 440,813 hours. Estimated total average annual burden costs: $ 15,648,532.

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval?

This request reflects an increase in the total estimated burden of 49,639 hours ( from 391,174 hours to 440,813 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory. This change is due to increases in the number of respondents and/ or the number of activities or events for which respondents must provide information, which is based on EPA's experience since the approval of the most recent ICR. The increase is an adjustment.

[[ Page 30907]]

V. What is the Next Step in the Process for this ICR?

EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5( a)( 1)( iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

II. Background

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is proposing to amend the TSCA section 4(a) chemical testing
requirements for one high production volume (HPV) chemical included in
40 CFR 799.5085. Specifically, this amendment revokes some of the
testing requirements for C.I. Pigment Blue 61. EPA is basing its
decision to take this action on information (discussed in Unit III.)
received since publication of the final rule (Ref. 1) that established
testing requirements for this chemical substance.
    In the Federal Register of March 16, 2012 (77 FR 15609) (FRL-9335-
6), EPA issued a revocation of some or all of the testing requirements
for 10 chemical substances by direct final rule. EPA received an
adverse comment concerning the chemical substance C.I. Pigment Blue 61.
Consequently, in accordance with the procedures described in the March
16, 2012 Federal Register document, EPA is withdrawing the revocation
of certain testing requirements for C.I. Pigment Blue 61 in a separate
document published elsewhere in today's Federal Register, and is now
issuing this proposed rule.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 4(a) of TSCA authorizes EPA to require testing if certain
findings are made. The TSCA section 4(a) findings include:
    1. The chemical substance was produced in substantial quantities.
    2. There are insufficient data upon which the effects of
manufacture, distribution, processing, use, or disposal of a chemical
substance on health or the environment can reasonably be determined or
predicted.
    3. Testing of the chemical substance with respect to such effects
is necessary to develop such data. (See TSCA section 4(a)(1)(B)(i),
(ii), and (iii); see also Ref. 1).
    EPA is amending the testing requirements for C.I. Pigment Blue 61
because some of the findings that EPA made for this chemical substance
are no longer supported.

III. Amendment to Chemical Testing Requirements

    On July 17, 2006, the Color Pigments Manufacturers Association
(CPMA) submitted a test plan for C.I. Pigment Blue 61. CPMA also
submitted robust summaries of existing data which CPMA asked EPA to
accept as satisfying some of the Agency's data needs for C.I. Pigment
Blue 61. Some of the existing data described in the summaries addressed
C.I. Pigment Blue 56, a close analog of C.I. Pigment Blue 61, which
CPMA requested EPA to accept as satisfying the Agency's data needs for
C.I. Pigment Blue 61, providing a structure-activity relationship (SAR)
argument in the test plan to justify that request (Refs. 2 and 3). CPMA
also asked EPA to accept results for water solubility and octanol/water
partition coefficient that were obtained by using an alternative
method, due to the extremely low predicted solubility of C.I. Pigment
Blue 61, instead of the methods specified by the test rule (Ref. 2).
Finally, CPMA asked EPA to accept that determining a melting point for
C.I. Pigment Blue 61 was not relevant because the pigment thermally
decomposes before it melts (Ref. 2).
    EPA reviewed the submitted information on physical/chemical
properties and decided that melting point, boiling point, and vapor
pressure determinations were not relevant because C.I. Pigment Blue 61
decomposes before it melts and the decomposition temperature had been
reported (Ref. 4). EPA accepted the submitted data on water solubility
as satisfying the Agency's data needs for that endpoint, but did not
accept the calculated value submitted to satisfy the testing
requirement for octanol/water partition coefficient (Ref. 4). EPA
believes the calculated value would, most likely, underestimate the
measured value (Ref. 4) required to be determined by the test rule.
    EPA reviewed CPMA's SAR argument concerning C.I. Pigment Blue 61
and C.I. Pigment Blue 56 and agreed that C.I. Pigment Blue 56 is an
acceptable

surrogate for C.I. Pigment Blue 61, thereby allowing adequate data on
C.I. Pigment Blue 56 to satisfy data needs for C.I. Pigment Blue 61
(Ref. 5). As a result, a biodegradation study of C.I. Pigment Blue 56,
found adequate by an EPA review, satisfies the need for biodegradation
data on C.I. Pigment Blue 61 (Ref. 5). Likewise, a fish acute toxicity
study and a chromosomal damage test of C.I. Pigment Blue 56, which EPA
reviewed and found adequate, will satisfy the data need for those
endpoints (Ref. 6) for C.I. Pigment Blue 61. EPA's review of the
existing data on C.I. Pigment Blue 61 found the study on mammalian
acute toxicity and the bacterial mutation assay to be adequate to
satisfy the data needs for those endpoints (Ref. 6). The existing study
on repeated-dose toxicity, however, did not satisfy the test
requirement for that endpoint (Ref. 6).
    Therefore, EPA is proposing to revoke the testing requirements for
melting point, boiling point, vapor pressure, water solubility,
biodegradation, fish acute toxicity, mammalian acute toxicity,
bacterial reverse mutation, and chromosomal damage for C.I. Pigment
Blue 61 by removing those requirements from those listed for that
chemical substance in Table 2 in 40 CFR 799.5085(j). In order to
clarify that test requirements for acute toxicity to Daphnia (an
aquatic invertebrate) and toxicity to algae had not been satisfied by
existing studies, and that the fish acute toxicity test requirement had
been satisfied, the test symbol C2 replaces C1 for C.I. Pigment Blue 61
in Table 2 in 40 CFR 799.5085(j). The testing requirements for C.I.
Pigment Blue 61 that are not proposed to be revoked include tests for
octanol/water partition coefficient, acute toxicity to Daphnia,
toxicity to algae, and combined 28-day repeated-dose toxicity with a
reproduction/developmental toxicity screen. Studies responding to those
test requirements were submitted to the Agency. The full studies and
robust summaries (Ref. 7) are in the docket for this proposed rule,
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0033.

IV. Public Comment

    EPA received one adverse comment concerning the March 16, 2012
direct final rule that revoked some of the testing requirements for
C.I. Pigment Blue 61 and nine other chemical substances. The comment
concerned the statement in the preamble of the direct final rule that
certain full studies for C.I. Pigment Blue 61 had been claimed as CBI
and were therefore not available to the public, although robust
summaries were available in the docket. The commenter objected to EPA's
placing the robust summaries in the docket rather than applying the
disclosure requirements of TSCA section 14(b) to the full health and
safety studies. The submitter of these studies has subsequently
withdrawn the CBI claim on these studies. The full studies and the
adverse comment are included in the docket for this proposed rule,
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0033.

V. Economic Analysis

    In the economic impact analysis for the final rule (Ref. 1)
establishing testing requirements for C.I. Pigment Blue 61 and 16 other
chemical substances, the Agency estimated the total testing cost to
industry to be $4.03 million for all 17 chemical substances included in
that final rule, with an average of approximately $237,000 per chemical
substance (Ref. 8). This total included an additional 25% in
administrative costs. An amendment to the final rule revoking testing
requirements for coke-oven light oil (coal) reduced the total cost to
industry to an estimated $3.7 million for the remaining 16 chemical
substances, with an average compliance cost of approximately $232,000
per chemical substance. This proposed rule, combined with the direct
final rule revoking all or some of the test rule requirements for 9
other chemical substances (see Ref. 1), would have the effect of
further reducing the total testing cost by an estimated $1.5 million
(approximately 41%) (Ref. 9). In addition, the 25% administrative costs
would be eliminated for these tests. The reduced total cost for the
remaining 12 chemical substances is estimated to be $2.2 million (i.e.,
$3.7 million--$1.5 million), with an average compliance cost per
chemical substance of approximately $184,000 (Ref. 9).

VI. Export Notification

    Persons who export or intend to export C.I. Pigment Blue 61 are and
will remain subject to TSCA section 12(b) export notification
requirements (See 40 CFR part 707, subpart D).

VII. References

    The following documents are specifically referenced in the preamble
for this proposed rule. In addition to these documents, other materials
may be available in the docket established for this proposed rule under
Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0033, which you can access through

VIII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This proposed rule only eliminates existing requirements; it does
not

otherwise impose any new or revised requirements. As such, this action
is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
as a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866,
entitled ``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993). Nor does it impose or change any information collection burden
that requires additional review by OMB under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    Because this proposed rule eliminates existing requirements without
imposing any new or revised requirements, the Agency certifies pursuant
to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.), that this action will not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities.
    For the same reasons, it is not subject to the requirements of
sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2
U.S.C. 1531-1538), and does not significantly or uniquely affect small
governments or impose a significant intergovernmental mandate, as
described in UMRA sections 203 and 204. This proposed rule does not
have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175,
entitled ``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), or federalism
implications as specified in Executive Order 13132, entitled
``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).
    Since this action is not economically significant under Executive
Order 12866, it is not subject to Executive Order 13045, entitled
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), and Executive Order 13211,
entitled ``Actions concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001).
    This action does not involve technical standards; thus, the
requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply.
    This proposed rule does not involve special consideration of
environmental justice related issues as specified in Executive Order
12898, entitled ``Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February
16, 1994).

[Docket No. FAA-2018-0161; Product Identifier 2017-NM-088-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-11-
12, which applies to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10
airplanes. AD 2013-11-12 requires inspecting for the correct serial
number of a certain hydraulic system accumulator, and replacing
affected hydraulic system accumulators with new or serviceable
accumulators. Since we issued AD 2013-11-12, we have determined that
certain other hydraulic system accumulators must be modified or
replaced and life limits must be added. This proposed AD would expand
the applicability and require modifying or replacing certain hydraulic
brake system accumulators. This proposed AD would also require revising
the maintenance or inspection program to add life limits for the
accumulators. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 23, 2018.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2018-0161;
Product Identifier 2017-NM-088-AD'' at the beginning of your comments.
We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We will consider
all comments received by the closing date and may amend this proposed
AD based on those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We issued AD 2013-11-12, Amendment 39-17472 (78 FR 33206, June 4,
2013) (``AD 2013-11-12''), for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-
1A10 airplanes. AD 2013-11-12 requires inspecting for the correct
serial number of a certain hydraulic system accumulator, and replacing
affected hydraulic system accumulators with new or serviceable
accumulators. AD 2013-11-12 resulted from reports of failure of a screw
cap or end cap of the hydraulic system accumulator while on the ground,
which resulted in loss of

use of that hydraulic system and high-energy impact damage to adjacent
systems and structures. We issued AD 2013-11-12 to prevent failure of a
screw cap or end cap and loss of the related hydraulic system, which
could result in damage to airplane structure and consequent reduced
controllability of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2013-11-12 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2013-11-12, we have determined that certain
other hydraulic system accumulators (specifically, hydraulic brake
system accumulators) must be modified or replaced and life limits must
be added.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2011-41R1, dated March 27, 2017 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-100-
1A10 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Seven cases of on-ground hydraulic accumulator screw cap/end cap
failure have been experienced on CL-600-2B19 aeroplanes, resulting
in loss of the associated hydraulic system and high-energy impact
damage to adjacent systems and structure. To date, the lowest number
of flight cycles accumulated at the time of failure has been 6991.
    Although there have been no failures to date on any BD-100-1A10
aeroplanes, accumulators similar to those installed on the CL-600-
2B19 are installed on the BD-100-1A10. The affected part numbers (P/
Ns) of the accumulators installed on BD-100-1A10 are 900095-1
(Auxiliary Hydraulic System accumulator), 33-155500 (Inboard Brake
accumulator), and 33-147500 (Outboard Brake accumulator).
    A detailed analysis of the calculated line of trajectory of a
failed screw cap/end cap for the accumulators has been conducted,
resulting in the identification of areas where systems and/or
structural components could potentially be damaged. Although all of
the failures on the CL-600-2B19 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.
    Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate the
[inspection and] replacement [of] Brake System Hydraulic
accumulators that are not identified by the letter ``E'' or ``NAE''
after the serial number on the identification plate. Revision 1 also
mandates the re-orientation of the brake accumulators P/N 33-147500
and P/N 33-155500 and the insertion of three discard tasks in the
Challenger 300 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC) Manual.

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 require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(p)(1) of this proposed AD. The request should include a description of
changes to the required actions that will ensure the continued damage
tolerance of the affected structure.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 187 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, 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

0
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]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2013-11-12, Amendment 39-17472 (78 FR 33206, June 4, 2013), and adding
the following new AD:

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA-2018-0161; Product Identifier 2017-
NM-088-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by April 23, 2018.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2013-11-12, Amendment 39-17472 (78 FR 33206,
June 4, 2013) (``AD 2013-11-12'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10
airplanes, certificated in any category, having serial numbers 20003
through 20604 inclusive.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 29, Hydraulic
Power.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of failure of a screw cap or end
cap of the hydraulic system accumulator while on the ground, which
resulted in loss of use of that hydraulic system and high-energy
impact damage to adjacent systems and structures. We are issuing
this AD to prevent failure of a screw cap or end cap and loss of the
related hydraulic system, which could result in damage to airplane
structure and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Retained Inspection With No Changes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD
2013-11-12 with no changes. For airplanes having serial numbers
20003 through 20335 inclusive: At the applicable time specified in
paragraph (g)(1), (g)(2), or (g)(3) of this AD: Inspect the
identification plate on the hydraulic system accumulator having part
number (P/N) 900095-1 to determine if an ``E'' is part of the suffix
of the serial number stamped on the identification plate, as listed
in paragraph 2.B. of the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier
Service Bulletin 100-29-14, dated December 16, 2010. A review of
airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this
inspection if the suffix of the serial number can be conclusively
determined from that review.
    (1) For an accumulator that has accumulated more than 3,150
total flight cycles as of July 9, 2013 (the effective date of AD
2013-11-12), inspect that accumulator within 350 flight cycles after

    (2) For an accumulator that has accumulated 3,150 or fewer total
flight cycles as of July 9, 2013 (the effective date of AD 2013-11-
12), inspect that accumulator before it has accumulated 3,500 total
flight cycles.
    (3) For an accumulator on which it is not possible to determine
the total flight cycles accumulated as of July 9, 2013 (the
effective date of AD 2013-11-12), inspect that accumulator within
350 flight cycles after July 9, 2013.

(h) Retained Replacement With No Changes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD
2013-11-12 with no changes. If, during the inspection required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, any accumulator having P/N 900095-1 is
found on which the letter ``E'' is not part of the suffix of the
serial number on the identification plate: Before further flight,
replace the accumulator with a new or serviceable accumulator, in
accordance with paragraph 2.C. of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 100-29-14, dated December 16, 2010.

(i) Retained Parts Installation Prohibition With No Changes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (i) of AD
2013-11-12 with no changes. For airplanes having serial numbers
20003 through 20335 inclusive: As of July 9, 2013 (the effective
date of AD 2013-11-12), no person may install on any airplane a
hydraulic system accumulator having P/N 900095-1, on which the
letter ``E'' is not part of the suffix of the serial number on the
identification plate.

(j) New Requirement of This AD: Replacement of Brake System Hydraulic
Accumulators

    For airplanes having serial numbers 20003 through 20347
inclusive: At the applicable time specified in paragraph (j)(1),

accumulators having P/N 33-147500 or P/N 33-155500 that are not
identified by the letter ``E'' or ``NAE'' after the serial number on
the identification plate with an accumulator of the same part number
that is identified by the letter ``E'' or ``NAE'' after the serial
number. Do the replacement in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 100-32-21, dated May 24,
2012.
    (1) For an accumulator that has accumulated more than 4,700
total flight cycles as of the effective date of this AD, inspect
that accumulator within 300 flight cycles after the effective date
of this AD.
    (2) For an accumulator that has accumulated 4,700 or fewer total
flight cycles as of the effective date of this AD, inspect that
accumulator before it has accumulated 5,000 total flight cycles.
    (3) For an accumulator on which it is not possible to determine
the total flight cycles accumulated as of the effective date of this

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST-2004-17408

________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________This serves as notice to the public of the
action described below, taken by the Department official indicated (no
additional confirming order will be issued in this matter).

Application of GRAND HOLDINGS, INC., d/b/a CHAMPION AIR  filed 3/24/04
for:

XX  Exemption for two years under 49 U.S.C. §40109 to provide the
following service:

Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail
between: (1) the terminal point Denver, Colorado, and the terminal point
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; (2) the terminal point Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas,
and the terminal point Cozumel, Mexico; (3) the terminal point
Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas, and the terminal point Puerto Vallarta, Mexico;
(4) the terminal point Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, and the terminal
point Mazatlan, Mexico; (5) the terminal point St. Louis, Missouri, and
the terminal point Cancun, Mexico; (6) the terminal point St. Louis,
Missouri, and the terminal point Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  With the
exception of the St. Louis-Cancun market (where Champion Air proposes
year-round service), Champion Air proposes to provide seasonal service
in all of the subject markets.  No party opposed the applicant’s
request for authority to serve the Dallas/Ft. Worth-Cozumel/Puerto
Vallarta, Minneapolis/St. Paul-Mazatlan, and St. Louis-Puerto Vallarta
markets.

Applicant rep:   Curt Berchtold<PHONE_NUMBER>     DOT Analyst:  Linda

D I S P O S I T I O N

XX  Granted Dallas/Ft. Worth-Cozumel/Puerto Vallarta, Minneapolis/St.
Paul-Mazatlan, and St. Louis-Puerto Vallarta exemption authority,
subject to conditions (see below).

XX  Deferred on the St. Louis-Cancun and Denver-Puerto Vallarta requests
(see below).

The action, above, granting exemption authority was effective when
taken: June 1, 2004, through June 1, 2006.

The action to defer was effective June 1, 2004.

Action taken by:     Paul L. Gretch, Director

  		        Office of International Aviation

XX  The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement
between the United States and Mexico.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:

XX  Holder’s certificates of public convenience and necessity

XX  Standard Exemption Conditions (attached)

________________________________________________________________________
____________________Special Conditions/Remarks:  The U.S.-Mexico
exemption authority granted is subject to the dormancy notice
requirements set forth in condition 7 of Appendix A of Order 88-10-2.
Consistent with our policy, the dormancy notice period will begin on the
carrier’s proposed start-up dates in the subject markets, as follows:
immediately for the Dallas/Ft. Worth-Cozumel/Puerto Vallarta, and St.
Louis-Puerto Vallarta markets; and December 1, 2004, for the
Minneapolis/St. Paul-Mazatlan market.

We will handle the carrier’s requests for authority to serve the St.
Louis-Cancun and Denver-Puerto Vallarta markets separately.  Under the
U.S.-Mexico aviation agreement, two U.S. airlines may be designated to
provide direct carrier service in any given city-pair market.
Currently, one U.S. carrier is designated to provide such services in
both the St. Louis-Cancun and Denver-Puerto Vallarta markets (TWA
Airlines and Frontier, respectively).  Thus, only one designation is
available for U.S. carrier service on each of these routes.  Three
applications have been filed for the St. Louis-Cancun market
(Champion’s application here, Frontier Airlines’ application in
Docket OST-2004-17470, and USA 3000 Air Lines’ application in Docket
OST-2004-17479), and two applications have been filed for the
Denver-Puerto Vallarta market (Champion’s application here and United
Air Lines’ application in Docket OST-2004-17491).

________________________________________________________________________
____________________

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the application was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
 To the extent not granted or deferred, we denied all requests in the
referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

Administration has determined that security is adequate to allow such

limitations required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the
Department of Transportation, with all applicable orders and regulations
of other U.S. agencies and courts, and with all applicable laws of the
United States.
