SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the
Department of Transportation (DOT)/Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) proposes to rescind DOT system of records titled, ``Department of
Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/FAA) 851
Administration and Compliance Tracking in an Integrated Office Network
System of Records,'' 65 FR 19529 (April 11, 2000). This system of
records was established to support the information resource, reporting
and archival needs of the Drug Abatement Division. The categories of
records included name, company and phone numbers of program managers in
the daily operation of drug and alcohol testing programs for aviation
companies. The authority for maintenance of the system was the Omnibus
Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 (49 U.S.C. 45101-45106), 14
CFR part 61, et al. A biennial review of FAA systems of records
determined that DOT/FAA 851 records and routine uses were subsumed into
the DOT/FAA 847 Aviation Records on Individuals, 75 FR 68849 November
9, 2010). Consequently, rescinding SORN 851 will have no adverse impact
on individuals. Rescindment will promote the overall streamlining and
management of DOT Privacy Act systems of records.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/
FAA) 851 Administration and Compliance Tracking in an Integrated Office
Network.

HISTORY:
    A full notice of this system of records, DOT/FAA 851 Administration
and Compliance Tracking in an Integrated Office Network was published
in the Federal Register on April 11, 2000, at 65 FR 19529.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 17, 2021.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11
airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of the loss of all
air data system information provided to the flightcrew during flight;
the air data system information was recovered as the airplane descended
to lower altitudes. This proposed AD would require revising the
existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to update the Unreliable Airspeed
and Landing Distance Factor emergency procedures, which provide
instructions for the flightcrew to stabilize the airspeed and altitude.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 26,
2022.

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

Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be

placed in the public docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI

which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the
public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF-2020-50, dated November 20,
2020 (TCCA AD CF-2020-50) (also referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and
BD-700-1A11 airplanes. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at
https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2022-0453.
    This proposed AD was prompted by reports of the loss of all air
data system information provided to the flightcrew during flight; the
air data system information was recovered as the airplane descended to
lower altitude. An investigation determined that the root cause was
usually high altitude icing (ice crystal contamination). The FAA is
proposing this AD to address loss of all air data system information,
which could lead to loss of continued safe flight and landing of the
airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information.

FAA's Determination

    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 the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
and service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD
because the FAA evaluated all the relevant information and determined
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require revising the existing AFM to update
the Unreliable Airspeed and Landing Distance Factor emergency
procedures, which provide instructions for the flightcrew to stabilize
the airspeed and altitude.
    TCCA AD CF-2020-50 requires operators to ``inform all flight
crews'' of revisions to the AFM, and thereafter to ``operate the
aeroplane accordingly.'' However, this proposed AD would not
specifically require those actions as those actions are already
required by FAA regulations. FAA regulations require operators furnish
to pilots any changes to the AFM (for example, 14 CFR 121.137), and to
ensure the pilots are familiar with the AFM (for example, 14 CFR
91.505). As with any other flightcrew training requirement, training on
the updated AFM content is tracked by the operators and recorded in
each

pilot's training record, which is available for the FAA to review. FAA
regulations also require pilots to follow the procedures in the
existing AFM including all updates. 14 CFR 91.9 requires that any
person operating a civil aircraft must comply with the operating
limitations specified in the AFM. Therefore, including a requirement in
this proposed AD to operate the airplane according to the revised AFM
would be redundant and unnecessary.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 395 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         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

    The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of April 6, 2016 (81
FR 19976), FDA published a notice announcing the availability of a
draft guidance for industry entitled ``Inorganic Arsenic in Rice
Cereals for Infants: Action Level,'' a supporting document entitled
``Supporting Document for Action Level for Inorganic Arsenic in Rice
Cereals for Infants,'' and a risk assessment report entitled ``Arsenic
in Rice and Rice Products Risk Assessment: Report.'' Although you can
comment on any guidance at any time, to ensure that we consider
comments on this draft guidance before we begin work on the final
version, interested persons were originally given until July 5, 2016,
to comment on the draft guidance, the supporting document, or the risk
assessment report. In early July 2016, the Federal eRulemaking Portal,
http://www.regulations.gov, is undergoing maintenance. We are,
therefore, extending the comment period for the draft guidance, the
supporting document, and the risk assessment report. The extended
comment period will close on July 19, 2016.

    Dated: June 24, 2016.
Leslie Kux,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
