ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OW-2022-0097; FRL-9455-01-OW]

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Industrial Stormwater Fact Sheet Series

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; request for public input.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is
seeking public input on updating the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Industrial Stormwater Fact Sheet Series
(hereinafter referred to as ``the fact sheets''). EPA's industrial
stormwater program has 29 fact sheets currently posted online for each
sector covered under the 2021 Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for
stormwater discharges from industrial activity. Each fact sheet
describes the types of facilities included in the sector, typical
stormwater pollutants associated with the sector, and types of
stormwater control measures (SCMs) that may be used to minimize the
discharge of the pollutants. EPA is seeking public input on the fact
sheets, particularly focused on updating: Common activities, pollutant
sources, and associated pollutants at facilities in each sector; and
SCMs or best management practices (BMPs), including source control and
good housekeeping/pollution prevention measures for potential pollutant
sources at facilities in each sector. In updating the fact sheets, EPA
will consider input received in response to this notice as well as any
relevant comments related to the content of the fact sheets that the
Agency received during the public comment period for the proposed 2021
MSGP. The fact sheets can be found in the docket and at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater-discharges-industrial-activities-fact-sheets-and-guidance.

DATES: Comments on the fact sheets must be received on or before March
28, 2022.

II. Background

    EPA's industrial stormwater program has 29 fact sheets currently
posted online for each sector covered under the MSGP and shown below:
    Sector A--Timber Products.
    Sector B--Paper and Allied Products Manufacturing.
    Sector C--Chemical and Allied Products Manufacturing.
    Sector D--Asphalt Paving and Roofing Materials Manufactures and
Lubricant Manufacturers.
    Sector E--Glass, Clay, Cement, Concrete, and Gypsum Product
Manufacturing.
    Sector F--Primary Metals.
    Sector G--Metal Mining (Ore Mining and Dressing).
    Sector H--Coal Mines and Coal Mining-Related Facilities.
    Sector I--Oil and Gas Extraction.
    Sector J--Mineral Mining and Dressing.
    Sector K--Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage or Disposal.
    Sector L--Landfills and Land Application Sites.
    Sector M--Automobile Salvage Yards.
    Sector N--Scrap Recycling Facilities.
    Sector O--Steam Electric Generating Facilities.
    Sector P--Land Transportation.
    Sector Q--Water Transportation.
    Sector R--Ship and Boat Building or Repairing Yards.
    Sector S--Air Transportation Facilities.
    Sector T--Treatment Works.
    Sector U--Food and Kindred Products.
    Sector V--Textile Mills, Apparel, and other Fabric Products
Manufacturing.
    Sector W--Furniture and Fixtures.
    Sector X--Printing and Publishing.
    Sector Y--Rubber, Miscellaneous Plastic Products, and Miscellaneous
Manufacturing Industries.
    Sector Z--Leather Tanning and Finishing.

    Sector AA--Fabricated Metal Products.
    Sector AB--Transportation Equipment, Industrial or Commercial
Machinery.
    Sector AC--Electronic, Electrical, Photographic and Optical Goods.
    Each fact sheet describes the types of facilities included in the
sector, typical stormwater pollutants associated with the sector, and
types of SCMs that may be used to minimize the discharge of the
pollutants. The fact sheets are used by permittees, industrial
stormwater stakeholders, and state/territory NPDES permitting
authorities on a voluntary basis as a reference tool and informational
resource. EPA currently does not mandate the use of the fact sheets for
permit compliance or otherwise under the NPDES industrial stormwater
program.
    As part of a 2016 MSGP settlement agreement, EPA agreed to and
proposed the following changes in the proposed 2021 MSGP:
     Review and revise ``the MSGP's sector-specific fact sheets
to incorporate emerging SCMs that reflect BAT [Best Available
Technology Economically Achievable] and BCT [Best Conventional
Pollutant Control Technology], as revealed by current industry practice
and as may be reflected in the NRC Study, as EPA deems appropriate.''
\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The ``NRC Study'' refers to a study funded by EPA and
conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and
Medicine's National Research Council (NRC) that was completed in
February of 2019. The NRC study can be found at the following
website: https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25355/improving-the-epa-multi-sector-general-permit-for-industrial-stormwater-discharges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Propose, as part of Additional Implementation Measures
(AIM) Tier 2, ``the operator must implement all feasible control
measures in the relevant sector-specific fact sheet . . .''
    EPA fulfilled these terms from the 2016 MSGP settlement agreement
in the proposed 2021 MSGP by incorporating a portion of the revised
fact sheets into the proposed permit as sector specific SCM checklists
in permit ``Appendix Q.'' Ultimately, based on public comments, EPA did
not finalize that the SCM checklists in Appendix Q or the associated
requirement to implement the controls under AIM Tier 2, nor did EPA
post the revised versions of the proposed checklists online. Instead,
EPA retained the sector-specific fact sheets as guidance documents and
revised each of them to include practices that operators could use to
minimize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in stormwater
discharges. For a detailed summary of the comments EPA received on
Appendix Q and the Agency's response to comments, please see Comment
Response Essay 4 Proposals Not Finalized for ``Appendix Q--Stormwater
Control Measures'' (page 60) in ``Response to Public Comments EPA NPDES
2021 Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP)'' which can be found in the
docket for the 2021 MSGP under Document ID number EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0372-
0349 or at the following website: https://www.regulations.gov/document/EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0372-0349.
    Even though EPA did not finalize Appendix Q, the Agency recognized
the need to evaluate and potentially revise the fact sheets in the near
future. In the final 2021 MSGP Federal Register Notice, EPA stated in
two instances that:
     ``EPA plans to work with external stakeholders to
thoroughly revise the sector-specific fact sheets'' (86 FR 10269,
10274, February 19, 2021), and
     ``EPA will continue to work with stakeholders to further
update these sector-specific fact sheets with additional emerging
stormwater control measures that could be used by industrial
operators'' (86 FR 10269, 10275, February 19, 2021 (specific to PFAS)).

IV. Approach To Obtain Stakeholder Input on Fact Sheets

    Based on EPA's commitment in the final 2021 MSGP Federal Register
Notice, EPA is now seeking feedback on appropriate updates and
revisions to the 29 industrial stormwater fact sheets related to the
two main tables in each fact sheet:
    (1) Common activities, pollutant sources, and associated pollutants
at facilities in each sector, and
    (2) SCMs or BMPs including source control and good housekeeping/
pollution prevention measures for potential pollutant sources at
facilities in each sector.
    The fact sheets can be found in the docket and at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater-discharges-industrial-activities-fact-sheets-and-guidance.
    To assist EPA in reviewing and evaluating public input, please
consider the following when preparing your comments for the Agency:
     Where possible, organize comments by referencing a
specific fact sheet (e.g., ``Sector A'') and the paragraph, table, or
part of the fact sheet.
     Explain as clearly as possible why you agree or disagree
with the current fact sheet language.
     Suggest alternatives and substitute language for any
requested changes.
     Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
     Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
    In addition to considering the comments received in response to
this Federal Register Notice, EPA will also consider the relevant
comments related to the fact sheets that the Agency received during the
public comment period for the proposed 2021 MSGP. Through this request
for comment, EPA intends to afford commenters the opportunity to
consider the full content of the fact sheets, rather than the subset of
information that was proposed as ``Appendix Q'' of the proposed 2021
MSGP, since ``Appendix Q'' only contained the SCM checklist portion of
the existing fact sheets. EPA encourages comment from all stakeholders,
including smaller industry groups, individual permittees, and community
and environmental groups.
    EPA will assess the public input received and determine what
changes to the fact sheets are appropriate and warranted, and what, if
any, further research is needed to support the changes. EPA will then
make changes to the fact sheets and post the updated fact sheets on the
industrial stormwater website.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30795; Amdt. No. 3436]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective August 8, 2011. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of August 8, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs Divisions,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulators description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition
to their complex nature and the need for a special format make
publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical.
Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on
charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. The advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAPs and the effective dates of
the associated Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. This amendment also
identifies the airport and its location, the procedure, and the
amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedures before adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in
less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

the proposed issuance of rules and regulations. The purpose of these
notices is to give interested persons an opportunity to participate in

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0165; Directorate Identifier 2008-CE-055-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (Type
Certificate Previously Held by Raytheon Aircraft Company) Models 1900,
1900C, and 1900D Airplanes

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2006-24-
11, which applies to certain Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (Hawker)
(Type Certificate previously held by Raytheon Aircraft Company) Models
1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes. AD 2006-24-11 currently requires you
to repetitively inspect the forward, vertical, and aft flanges of both
the left and right wing rear spar lower caps for cracks, repair any
cracks found, and report the inspection results to the manufacturer.
Since we issued AD 2006-24-11, the manufacturer has developed a
modification kit to install on the wing rear spar lower caps that would
terminate the 200-hour repetitive inspection required in AD 2006-24-11.
Consequently, this proposed AD would require installing the new
modification kits on the wing rear spar lower caps and would terminate
the repetitive inspections required in AD 2006-24-11 when the kits are
installed. We are proposing this AD to prevent fatigue cracks in the
wing rear spar lower caps, which could result in fatigue failure of the
wing rear spar lower caps. A rear spar failure could result in complete
wing failure and the wing separating from the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 28, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Use one of the following addresses to comment on this
proposed AD:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments regarding this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number, ``FAA-
2009-0165; Directorate Identifier 2008-CE-055-AD'' at the beginning of

Discussion

    We issued Emergency AD 2006-18-51, Amendment 39-14757 on August 31,
2006 (71 FR 52983, September 8, 2006), due to significant cracks found
in the wing rear spar lower caps of Hawker Beechcraft Model 1900D
airplanes. AD 2006-18-51 applies to certain Hawker Beechcraft Models
1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes and currently requires a one-time
visual inspection of both the left and right wing rear spar lower caps
for cracking and other damage such as loose or missing fasteners;
repairing any cracks or damage found; and reporting any cracks or
damage found to the FAA and the manufacturer.
    After complying with AD 2006-18-51, additional fatigue cracks found
in the affected area of the wing rear spar lower caps on certain Hawker
Beechcraft Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes caused us to issue
AD 2006-24-11, Amendment 39-14840 (71 FR 70297, December 4, 2006). AD
2006-24-11 does not supersede or revise Emergency AD 2006-18-51 because
both ADs are necessary to address the unsafe condition. AD 2006-24-11
currently requires the following on certain Hawker Beechcraft Models
1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes:
     Repetitively inspecting the forward, vertical, and aft
flanges of both the left and right wing rear spar lower caps for
cracks;
     Repairing any cracks found; and
     Reporting the inspection results to manufacturer.
    Since we issued AD 2006-24-11, the manufacturer has developed a
modification kit to install on the wing rear spar lower caps that would
terminate the 200-hour repetitive inspection required in AD 2006-24-11
when installed. The FAA's aging commuter aircraft policy briefly states
that, when a modification exists that could eliminate or reduce the
number of required critical inspections, the modification should be
incorporated. This policy is based on the FAA's determination that
reliance on critical repetitive inspections on airplanes utilized in
commuter service carries an unnecessary safety risk when a design
change exists that could eliminate or, in certain instances, reduce the
number of those critical inspections. In determining what inspections
are critical, the FAA considers (1) The safety consequences of the
airplane if

the known problem is not detected by the inspection; (2) the
reliability of the inspection such as the probability of not detecting
the known problem; (3) whether the inspection area is difficult to
access; and (4) the possibility of damage to an adjacent structure as a
result of the problem.
    The alternative to modifying the wing rear spar lower caps with a
modification kit that improves the fatigue life would be to
repetitively inspect this area for the life of the airplane.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in fatigue failure
of the wing rear spar lower caps. A rear spar failure could result in
complete wing failure and the wing separating from the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Hawker Beechcraft Mandatory Corporation Service
Bulletin SB 57-3816, issued January 2008.
    The service information describes procedures for installing wing
rear spar lower cap modification kits.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all information and
determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist
or develop on other products of the same type design. This proposed AD
would supersede AD 2006-24-11 with a new AD that would require you to
install modification kits on the wing rear spar lower caps. This
proposed AD would also retain the repetitive inspections currently
required in AD 2006-24-11 until the modification kits are installed.
This proposed AD would require you to use the service information
described previously to perform these actions.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 243 airplanes in the
U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to do the proposed inspections:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Total cost per   Total cost on
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        airplane      U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 work-hours x $80 per hour = $800..........................             $20             $820         $199,260
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do the proposed modification:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Total cost per   Total cost on
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        airplane      U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
250 work-hours x $80 per hour = $20,000......................          $2,200          $22,200       $5,394,600
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have determined that the average life to date of the affected
airplanes is 16 years and the average usage rate annually is 1,571
hours time-in-service. The cost analysis shows that, based on the
average age and usage, AD 2006-24-11 requires approximately 7.9
inspections per year with an approximate annual cost of $6,500.
    Based on the cost analysis, we have determined that the proposed
modification would start showing a cost savings over the repetitive
inspection currently required in AD 2006-24-11 after 5 years. This
determination is made based on the assumption that the life-span of the
airplanes affected by this proposed AD is between 25 to 40 years.

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 Flexibility Determination

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-354) (RFA)
establishes as a principle of regulatory issuance that agencies shall
endeavor, consistent with the objective of the rule and of applicable
statutes, to fit regulatory and informational requirements to the scale
of the businesses, organizations, and governmental jurisdictions
subject to regulation.
    To achieve that principle, the RFA requires agencies to solicit and
consider flexible regulatory proposals and to explain the rationale for
their actions. The RFA covers a wide-range of small entities, including
small businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and small governmental
jurisdictions.
    Agencies must perform a review to determine whether a proposed or
final rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. If the agency determines that it will, the
agency must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis as described in
the RFA.
    However, if an agency determines that a proposed or final rule is
not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities, section 605(b) of the RFA provides that the
head of the agency may so certify and a regulatory flexibility analysis
is not required. The FAA did make such a determination for this
proposed AD. The basis for this determination is now discussed.
    This proposed AD would supersede existing AD 2006-24-11. The cost
analysis for the proposed AD shows that the proposed modification will
have a cost savings from the accumulative repetitive inspection cost
now required in AD 2006-24-11, reflecting cost savings for 241 of the
243 affected airplanes. For the two firms the analysis did not show a
cost savings, we have identified one as a subsidiary of General
Electric Capital Corporation and the other as the subsidiary of a firm
that is probably large. General Electric Capital Corporation is not a
small entity. We were unable to determine the size classification of
the other firm. Even if the corporate parent of the unidentified firm
is a small firm, this proposed rule would impact at most one firm, and
one firm is not a substantial number.

    Therefore, the Acting FAA Administrator certifies that this rule
will not impose a significant economic impact on a substantial number
of small entities.

Regulatory Findings

    We have 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 that the 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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket that contains the proposed AD, the
regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information on
the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket

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

    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 removing Airworthiness Directive
(AD) 2006-24-11, Amendment 39-14840 (71 FR 70297, December 4, 2006),
and adding the following new AD:

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (Type Certificate previously held by
Raytheon Aircraft Company): Docket No. FAA-2009-0165; Directorate
Identifier 2008-CE-055-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) action by April 28, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2006-24-11, Amendment 39-14840. AD
2006-18-51 relates to the subject of this AD.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to the following airplane models and serial
numbers that are certificated in any category:

(2) 1900D.................................  UE-1 through UE-439.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from the manufacturer developing a
modification kit to install on the wing rear spar lower caps that
would terminate the 200-hour repetitive inspection required in AD
2006-24-11. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracks in the
wing rear spar lower caps, which could result in fatigue failure of
the wing rear spar lower caps. A rear spar failure could result in
complete wing failure and the wing separating from the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. This AD was prompted by
an investigation that indicated that one of the springs in the pitch
trim switch of the horizontal stabilizer had failed. The failure of the
spring could result in the airplane pitching nose down when actually
commanded nose up. This AD requires a verification of the serial
numbers of certain pitch trim switches, and replacement of the affected
pitch trim switches with new ones in the pilot and co-pilot control
wheels. This AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective March 14, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of March 14,
2023.

ADDRESSES:
    AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Bombardier, Inc.,
Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on October 5, 2022 (87 FR 60352). The NPRM was prompted by AD CF-2022-
24, dated May 2, 2022, (referred to after this as the MCAI) issued by
Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. The MCAI
states that during several in-service events, following a stab trim
fault advisory message and an auto-pilot disconnect, both pilot and co-
pilot commands to trim the horizontal stabilizer nose-up resulted in a
nose-down movement of the horizontal stabilizer. In two events, the
horizontal stabilizer reached the full travel nose-down position before
the crew recognized the nature of the problem, and quickly recovered
control of the airplane for safe landing. As a result, this led to
increased crew workload and reduced safety margins.
    Subsequent investigation by Bombardier and the supplier of the
horizontal stabilizer pitch trim switch determined that one of the
springs within the pitch trim switch had failed. The supplier of the
springs was changed in 2019. The majority of observed pitch trim switch
failures occurred in pitch trim switches that were manufactured after
2019.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require the replacement of the
affected pitch trim switches with re-designed pitch trim switches that
have reliable springs. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the
failure of the springs in the pitch trim switch, which, if not
corrected, could result in the airplane pitching nose down when
actually commanded nose up, resulting in reduced controllability of the
airplane and high control forces. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
the failure of the springs in the pitch trim switch. The unsafe
condition, if not corrected, could result in the airplane pitching nose
down when actually commanded nose up, resulting in reduced
controllability of the airplane and high control forces.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1251.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received a comment from NetJets. The following presents the
comment received on the NPRM and the FAA's response.

Request To Correct the Date for Bombardier Service Bulletin 350-27-011

    NetJets requested that the proposed AD be revised to correct the
date for Bombardier Service Bulletin 350-27-011. The date was entered
incorrectly in figure 1 to paragraph (h) of the proposed AD and two
times in paragraph (i) of the proposed AD as ``March 21, 2002.''
    The FAA agrees with the requested change by the commenter. The FAA
has corrected the date for Bombardier Service Bulletin 350-27-011 in
figure 1 to paragraph (h) of this AD and two times in paragraph (i) of
this AD to ``March 21, 2022.''

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the
comment received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this
AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on this product. Except for

minor editorial changes, and any other changes described previously,
this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will
increase the economic burden on any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Bombardier Service Bulletin 100-27-21, dated March
21, 2022, for Model BD-100-1A10 (CH-300) airplanes, S/Ns 20003 to
20500. This service information specifies procedures for verifying
serial numbers (S/Ns) of certain pitch trim switch part numbers in the
pilot and co-pilot control wheels, and replacing affected pitch trim
switches.
    The FAA has also requires Bombardier Service Bulletin 350-27-011,
dated March 21, 2022, for Model BD-100-1A10 (CH-350) airplanes, S/Ns
20501 to 20936. This service information describes procedures for
verifying S/Ns of certain pitch trim switch part numbers in leather and
non-leather covered pilot and co-pilot control wheels, and replacing
affected pitch trim switches.
    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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 697 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact
on affected operators.

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.
    The FAA is 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
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

The Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

2023-02-01 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment 39-22308; Docket No. FAA-
2022-1251; Project Identifier MCAI-2022-00588-T.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective March 14, 2023.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10
airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight
Controls.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the investigation that one of the
springs in the pitch trim switch for the horizontal stabilizer had
failed. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the

failure of the springs in the pitch trim switch. The unsafe
condition, if not corrected, could result in the airplane pitching
nose down when actually commanded nose up, and the flightcrew may
not be able to regain control of the horizontal stabilizer,
resulting in reduced controllability of the airplane and high
control forces.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Review of the Airplane Records

    Within 200 flight hours or 6 months, whichever occurs first,
from the effective date of this AD, review the airplane (technical)
records for the horizontal stabilizer pitch trim switches and
control wheels to determine the date of replacement, if any, of the
pilot or co-pilot trim switch and control wheels.
    (1) If the pilot or co-pilot pitch trim switch or control wheels
were removed after January 1, 2019, and the replacement pitch trim
switches have serial numbers 02000 and subsequent, then no further
action is required other than compliance with paragraph (j) of this
AD.
    (2) For airplanes with serial numbers (S/Ns) 20003 through 20780
inclusive: If no pilot or co-pilot pitch trim switch or control
wheel was replaced after January 1, 2019, then no further action is
required other than compliance with paragraph (j) of this AD.
    (3) For airplanes with S/Ns 20901 through 20936 inclusive: If no
pilot or co-pilot pitch trim switch or control wheel has been
replaced on an airplane, then no further action is required other
than compliance with paragraph (j) of this AD.

(h) Verification and Replacement of Pitch Trim Switches

    For airplanes not identified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (3) of
this AD: Within 200 flight hours or 6 months, whichever occurs
first, from the effective date of this AD, identify the serial
numbers of both the pilot and co-pilot pitch trim switches, and do
the applicable actions specified in paragraph (h)(1) or (2) of this
AD.
    (1) If the pilot or co-pilot pitch trim switch has a serial
number that is not listed in figure 2 to paragraph (h) of this AD,
before further flight re-install the pitch trim switch in accordance
with Section 2.B. of the Accomplishment Instructions of the
applicable service information identified in figure 1 to paragraph
(h) of this AD.
    (2) If the pilot or co-pilot pitch trim switch has a serial
number listed in figure 2 to paragraph (h) of this AD, before
further flight, replace the pitch trim switch in accordance with
Section 2.B. of the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable
service information identified in figure 1 to paragraph (h) of this
AD.
    (3) Before further flight perform the operational test in
accordance with Section 2.C. of the Accomplishment Instructions of
the applicable service information identified Bombardier SB listed
in figure 1 to paragraph (h) of this AD.
