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 certain
Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601
Variant), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants)
airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of fractured rudder pedal
tubes on the pilot-side rudder bar assembly. This AD requires
repetitive inspections of the rudder pedal tubes for cracking and
corrective actions if necessary. Replacement of both pilot-side rudder
bar assemblies terminates the inspections. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc.,
Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601 Variant), and CL-600-
2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2017 (82 FR 48668)
(``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by reports of fractured rudder
pedal tubes on the pilot-side rudder bar assembly. The NPRM proposed to
require repetitive inspections of the rudder pedal tubes for cracking
and corrective actions if necessary. Replacement of both pilot-side
rudder bar assemblies terminates the inspections. We are issuing this
AD to address cracking of the pilot-side rudder pedal tubes. Loss of
pilot rudder pedal input during flight could result in reduced yaw
controllability of the airplane. Loss of pilot rudder pedal input
during takeoff or landing could lead to a runway excursion.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2017-09, dated February 22, 2017 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the

MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc.,
Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601 Variant), and CL-600-
2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. The MCAI
states:

    There have been two in-service reports of fractured rudder pedal
tubes installed on the pilot-side rudder bar assembly on CL-600-2B19
aeroplanes. Laboratory examination of the fractured rudder pedal
tubes found that in both cases, the fatigue cracks initiated at the
aft taper pin holes where the connecting rod fitting is attached.
Fatigue testing of the rudder pedal tubes confirmed that the fatigue
cracking is due to loads induced during parking brake application.
Therefore, only the rudder pedal tubes on the pilot's side are
vulnerable to fatigue cracking as the parking brake is primarily
applied by the pilot.
    Loss of pilot rudder pedal input during flight would result in
reduced yaw controllability of the aeroplane. Loss of pilot rudder
pedal input during takeoff or landing may lead to a runway
excursion.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates initial and repetitive [detailed
visual or eddy current] inspections [for cracking] of both pilot-
side rudder pedal tubes, part number (P/N) 600-90204-3 until the
terminating action in Part III of this [Canadian] AD is accomplished
[i.e., replacement of both pilot-side rudder bar assemblies].

    Corrective actions include replacement of both pilot-side rudder
bar assemblies and repair. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on
the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2017-0907.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.

Requests To Correct Errors in Certain Service Information Citations

    Bombardier and NetJets both requested that typographical errors in
certain service bulletin citations be corrected. Bombardier stated that
in the NPRM, Bombardier ``Service Bulletin 605-27-008'' should be cited
as Bombardier ``Service Bulletin 650-27-008.'' NetJets stated that
Bombardier ``Service Bulletin 605-27-002'' should be cited as
Bombardier ``Service Bulletin 650-27-002.''
    We partially agree with the commenters' requests. We agree with
NetJets' request to correct the typographical error in the preamble and
paragraph (g)(6) of this AD by removing the incorrect citation and
including the correct citation, which is Bombardier Service Bulletin
650-27-002, dated June 30, 2016, including Appendix A, Revision 01,
dated March 31, 2016.
    We do not agree with Bombardier's request because a typographical
error does not exist in our citation of Bombardier Service Bulletin
605-27-008, dated March 31, 2016, including Appendix A, Revision 01,
dated March 31, 2016. We contacted the commenter, and the company
representative agreed that there is not a typographical error.
Therefore, no change was made to this AD in this regard.

Request To Change the Order of Certain Service Information in the
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 Paragraph

    During a phone conversation between Bombardier and the FAA that
occurred during the NPRM comment period, Bombardier requested that the
order of certain service information in ``Related Service Information
under 1 CFR part 51'' be rearranged. Specifically, the commenter
requested that Service Bulletin 605-27-008, dated March 31, 2016,
including Appendix A, Revision 01, dated March 31, 2016, be listed
above Service Bulletin 650-27-002, dated June 30, 2016, including
Appendix A, Revision 01, dated March 31, 2016. The commenter stated
that chronologically Bombardier issued Service Bulletin 605-27-008,
dated March 31, 2016, including Appendix A, Revision 01, dated March
31, 2016, before issuing Service Bulletin 650-27-002, dated June 30,
2016, including Appendix A, Revision 01, dated March 31, 2016.
    We agree to clarify. While we recognize the benefit of listing
service information in chronological order based on publication dates,
we are required by the Office of Federal Register (OFR) to list service
information within the incorporated by reference (IBR) paragraph of the
AD regulatory text (i.e. paragraph (n) of this AD) according to the
document name. For consistency, the IBR material is listed in the same
alphanumerical sequence within the 1 CFR part 51 paragraph of the AD
preamble text. In this case, as stated previously, we have changed a
certain citation, and that change places the service information in the
alphanumeric order shown within this AD, which also addresses the
commenter's request.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued the following service information. The
service information describes procedures for repetitive inspections of
the rudder pedal tubes for cracking, replacement of both pilot-side
rudder bar assemblies, and repair. These documents are distinct since
they apply to different airplane models.
     Service Bulletin 600-0770, including Appendix A, both
Revision 01, both dated March 31, 2016.
     Service Bulletin 601-0643, including Appendix A, both
Revision 01, both dated March 31, 2016.
     Service Bulletin 604-27-037, including Appendix A,
Revision 01, both dated March 31, 2016.
     Service Bulletin 605-27-008, including Appendix A,
Revision 01, both dated March 31, 2016.
     Service Bulletin 650-27-002, dated June 30, 2016,
including Appendix A, Revision 01, dated March 31, 2016.
    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

    We estimate that this AD affects 141 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.

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

    .We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection.
We have no way of determining the number of airplanes that might need
these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per

Replacement................................  2 work-hours x $85 per hour = $170.          $8,564          $8,734
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that will enable us to provide
cost estimates for any on-condition repairs specified in this AD. We
have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need this
repair.

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 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. 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.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2010-1169; Airspace Docket No. 10-AGL-24]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Cable Union, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace for Cable Union, WI.
Decommissioning of the Seely non-directional beacon (NDB) at Cable
Union Airport, Cable Union, WI, has made this action necessary to
enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR)
operations at the airport. The geographic coordinates for the airport
also will be adjusted.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, June 30, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone (817) 321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 31, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for Cable
Union, WI, reconfiguring controlled airspace at Cable Union Airport (76
FR 5300) Docket No. FAA-2010-1169. Interested parties were invited to
participate in

this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal
to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations
are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18,
2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface for the Cable Union, WI area. Decommissioning of the
Seely NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach at Cable Union Airport
has made this action necessary for the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport. Geographic coordinates will also be adjusted
in accordance with the FAA's Aeronautical Products.
    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.
Therefore, this 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 that this rule, when promulgated, will 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 of 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
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 amends controlled airspace at Cable Union Airport, Cable Union,
WI.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 95

[Docket No. 31183; Amdt. No. 538]

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required
IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a
minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This
regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument
conditions in the affected areas.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, March 29, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harry Hodges, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AMCAFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs
Division, 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 amendment to part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR
altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a
specified route

or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover points (COPs)
for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as prescribed in part
95.

The Rule

    The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the
prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid
coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of
frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the
need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and
operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to
published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and
provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In
addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this
amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication
date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the
user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those
considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between
these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice
and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable
and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for
making the amendment 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.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP06-442-000]

UGI LNG, Inc.; Notice of Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Temple LNG Plant

March 2, 2007.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) to discuss
the environmental impacts involving the operation of facilities for the
existing Temple LNG Plant proposed by UGI LNG, Inc. (UGI LNG) in the
above referenced docket. The proposed project is located in Berks
County, Pennsylvania.
    Because the Temple LNG Plant is an existing facility the EA focused
on the operation of the proposed project, the cryogenic design aspects
of the plant and public safety.
    This EA has been prepared to comply with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Council of Environmental
Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing NEPA (Title 40, Code of
Federal Regulations [CFR], sections 1500-1508), and the Commission's
regulations (18 CFR 380).

The staff concludes that approval of this proposal would not constitute
a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is
available for public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, Public Reference, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A,
Washington, DC 20426,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Copies of the EA have been mailed to federal, state and local
agencies, public interest groups, interested individuals, affected
landowners, newspapers, and parties to this proceeding.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. To ensure
consideration prior to a Commission decision on the proposal, it is
important that we receive your comments before the date specified
below.
    Please note that the Commission strongly encourages electronic
filing of any comments or interventions or protests to this proceeding.
See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov under the ``e-Filing'' link and the

link to the User's Guide. Before you can file comments you will need to
create a free account which can be created by clicking on ``Sign-up.''
    If you are filing written comments, please carefully follow these
instructions to ensure that your comments are received in time and
properly recorded:

     Label one copy of the comments for the attention of the
Gas Branch 3, PJ 11.3.
     Reference Docket No. CP06-442-000; and
     Mail your comments so that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before April 2, 2007.
    Comments will be considered by the Commission but will not serve to
make the commentor a party to the proceeding. Any person seeking to
become a party to the proceeding must file a motion to intervene
pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).\1\ Only intervenors have the right to seek
rehearing of the Commission's decision.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2016-8180; Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-083-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 adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700,
701, & 702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705)
airplanes, Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, and
Model CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This proposed
AD was prompted by a determination that the protective polyurethane
tapes applied to the upper surfaces of the aluminum and titanium floor
structural members may not be trimmed properly, and on some places may
overhang the profiles of the floor structural parts. Subsequent tests
revealed that the overhanging pieces of tapes that are not bonded to
the structure do not meet the flammability requirements and may allow
fire propagation below the floor structure. This proposed AD would
require an inspection of the polyurethane protective tapes installed on
the floor structure for excess tape or incorrect tape installation, and
corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and
correct overhanging pieces of protective polyurethane tapes, which are
not bonded to the structure and do not meet the flammability
requirements; this condition may allow fire propagation below the floor
structure.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 12,
2016.

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

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2016-14, dated May 18, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10
(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15
(Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet
Series 900) airplanes, and Model CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000)
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    An inspection revealed that the protective polyurethane tapes
applied to the upper surfaces of the aluminum and titanium floor
structural members installed on CRJ 700/900/1000 aeroplanes may not
be trimmed properly and on some places may overhang the profiles of
the floor structural parts. Subsequent tests revealed that the
overhanging pieces of tapes which are not bonded to the structure,
do not meet the flammability requirements. If not corrected, this
condition may allow fire propagation below the floor structure.
    This [Canadian] AD was issued to mandate the [detailed]
inspection and removal of any excessive pieces of overhanging tape
[or replacing incorrectly installed tape] found on the floor
structure.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
8180.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 670BA-53-055, dated December
3, 2015. The service information describes procedures for inspecting
the polyurethane protective tapes for any excess tape or incorrect tape
installation on the floor structure and corrective actions, which
include removing any excess tape or replacing any incorrect tape
installation found. 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.

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 these
same type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 569 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                     Action                                            Labor cost                         Parts cost        product         operators
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection and repair...........................  190 work-hours x $85 per hour = $16,150............              $0          $16,150       $9,189,350
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The repair is done at the same time as the inspection. Therefore,
we have not specified separate on-condition repair 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.

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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA-2016-8180; Directorate Identifier
2016-NM-083-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by September 12, 2016.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to the Bombardier, Inc. airplanes identified in
paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this AD, certificated in
any category.
    (1) Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702)
airplanes, serial numbers 10002 through 10342 inclusive.
    (2) Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes and
Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, serial

tapes that are not bonded to the structure do not meet the
flammability requirements and may allow fire propagation below the
floor structure. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct
overhanging pieces of protective polyurethane tapes, which are not
bonded to the structure and do not meet the flammability
requirements; this condition may allow fire propagation below the
floor structure.
