Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2023-0929; Project Identifier MCAI-2022-01401-T]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
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 all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by in-service cracking of the passenger door
edge member, seal carrier, and inner skin, adjacent to the roller guide
bracket. This proposed AD would require a one-time inspection of the
external visible surface of the inner skin, door edge member, and seal
carrier adjacent to the roller bracket attachment brackets; and the
inner skin, door edge member, and seal carrier at the roller bracket
attachment bore, and repair if necessary. 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 30,
2023.

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

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2023-0929; Project Identifier
MCAI-2022-01401-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
the proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
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 should be sent to Todd
Thompson, Aerospace Engineer, Large Aircraft Section, FAA,
International Validation Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA
98198; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email [email protected]. Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which is the aviation authority
for the United Kingdom (U.K.), has issued U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0019,
dated October 31, 2022 (U.K. CAA AD G-2022-0019) (also referred to
after this as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition on all BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. The MCAI states that
in-service cracking occurred on the Jetstream 41 passenger door edge
member, seal carrier, and inner skin, adjacent to the roller guide
bracket. BAE Systems (Operations) Limited reviewed the fatigue test
data and existing inspection requirements, and concluded a new
inspection is needed to address this potential unsafe condition.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to address undetected cracking of the
passenger door. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in
a partial failure of the door, hindering passenger evacuation during an
emergency or possibly causing cabin pressurization problems during
flight, requiring passengers and crew to don oxygen masks.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-0929.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed BAe JETSTREAM Series 4100 Service Bulletin,
Revision 1, dated June 8, 2022. This service information specifies
procedures for a one-time eddy current inspection of the external
visible surface of the inner skin, door edge member, and seal carrier
adjacent to the roller bracket attachment brackets for cracking; a one-
time eddy current inspection of the inner skin, door edge member, and
seal carrier at the roller bracket attachment bores for cracking; and
repair.
    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

    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
and service information described above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM
after determining that 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 accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 12 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 work-hours x $85 per hour = Up to $170.....................              $0             $170           $2,040
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed AD.

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.

75% cyprodinil.  Residues of cyprodinil in/on apples and pears harvested at 0 days after the last
application (DALA) following five broadcast foliar applications of a 75% WDG formulation of
cyprodinil at a rate of 0.2286-0.263 lb ai/A/application with a retreatment interval of 6-9 days
were 0.17-1.4 ppm and 0.11-0.73 ppm, respectively.  The data support a reduction of PHI to 0-
days for the amended use of the WDG formulation on pome fruit.  The data also support an
increased maximum use rate of 0.20 lb ai/A/application (1.0 lb ai/A/season of cyprodinil) and a
reduced PHI of 14-days for the EW formulation of cyprodinil/difenoconazole.
4.1.5
Residues in Livestock
Adequate cattle feeding studies are available for cyprodinil.    Since, apple wet pomace
may be fed locally to dairy cattle, the maximum daily burdens (MDBs) were recalculated for this
action.  The MDB for livestock to cyprodinil was recalculated to be 0.88 ppm for beef cattle, 1.2
ppm for dairy cattle, and 0.005 ppm for swine and poultry.  Based on the proposed amended uses
of cyprodinil on pome fruit, the currently established 0.02 ppm tolerance levels for meat
byproducts of cattle, goats, horses, and sheep are adequate but the currently established tolerance
expression for livestock commodities should be changed to reflect measurement of both parent
and metabolite CGA-304075.  Separate tolerances should be established for residues of
cyprodinil and free and conjugated CGA-304075, expressed in parent equivalents, on meat
byproducts of cattle, goats, horses, and sheep at 0.02 ppm (LOQ).
4.1.6  Residues in Processed Commodities

Page 18 of 38
Based on the submitted apple field trial and available apple processing data (MRID
44186417; DP# D233182, PP# 6F4656, G. Kramer, 2/20/98), the currently established tolerance
for residues of cyprodinil in apple wet pomace will need to be increased from 0.15 ppm to 4.6
ppm to cover the proposed amended uses of cyprodinil on pome fruit.
4.1.7
Residues in Rotational Crops
An adequate  field accumulation study with mustard greens as the primary crop and
rotational crops of wheat, lettuce and garden beets planted at plant back intervals (PBIs) of 27 to
32 days showed residues of parent and each metabolite <LOQ in/on all lettuce, garden beet and
wheat RAC samples.  This study supports the label specified 30-day PBI and indicates that
rotational crop tolerances are not currently required.
4.1.8
Storage Stability
In the submitted field trial study, apple and pear samples were stored frozen (-20°C ±
10°C) for up to 11.7 months prior to analysis.  No storage stability data were submitted with the
field trials.  Adequate data are available indicating that cyprodinil is stable in/on peaches, apples,
and apple pomace for at least 12 months when stored frozen (DP# D233182, G. Kramer,
2/20/98); these data are adequate to support the submitted apple and pear field trial data.
4.2
Drinking Water Profile
4.2.1
Environmental Fate and Transport
The environmental fate data base for cyprodinil is considered substantially complete.
Cyprodinil has a relatively low solubility in water (13 ppm at pH 7).  Based on its octanol/ water
partition coefficient, it is likely to partition with organic tissues and other organic media.  It is
alkaline in water (pH 9.5 and pKa = 4.44).  It is not likely to volatilize substantially, with a vapor
pressure of 3.80x10
-6
mmHg and a Henry’s Law constant of 7.04x10
-8
Atm-m /mol at 20°C.

Cyprodinil binds to sediment and particulate. It appears to be a persistent compound under most
conditions, except aerobic soil metabolism, as demonstrated in laboratory studies.  Cyprodinil
appears to bind strongly to particulate and sediment, showing relatively low soil mobility (K
OC
range 1550 to 2030); its potential for groundwater contamination appears to be low.  However,
due to its high persistence under aquatic conditions, aquifers that lie below areas that have low
organic content and coarse textured soils or shallow leaky aquifers could be prone to
contamination.  Even though buffer zones can ameliorate moderately the level of spray drift, the
potential for runoff still exists for long periods of time.  Cyprodinil’s high affinity to sorb to soil
and particulate suggests the potential for runoff in eroded particles.  This stability and binding to
particulate and organic matter (aerobic and anaerobic conditions) suggests that cyprodinil
residues in sediments could contribute to a possible resuspension of the compound through
mixing and mass balance for an extended period.  Degradates of cyprodinil include 4-
cyclopropyl-6-methyl-2-amine-pyrimidine, CGA-275535 (slightly mobile), CGA-321915
(mobile to moderately mobile), and CGA-249287 (moderately mobile) (the degradate identified

Page 19 of 38
of concern in this assessment; 11.7% at 28 days in the aerobic soil metabolism study, and 14.2%
in the aerobic aquatic metabolism study).  The water residues of concern as determined by
MARC are the parent and CGA 249287 (4-cyclopropyl-6-methylpyrimidin-2-amine) (D292557,
6/8/03).
4.2.2
Estimated Drinking Water Concentrations
Drinking water residues were incorporated directly into the chronic dietary analysis
(“water, direct, all sources” and “water, indirect, all sources”) and were provided by the
Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED).  EFED generated the surface water estimates
using the linked PRZM and EXAMS tier 2 aquatic models.  Ground water estimates were
calculated using the Tier 1 Screening Concentration in Ground Water model.   Estimated
Drinking Water Concentrations (EDWCs) for cyprodinil and its metabolite CGA-249287 were
derived based on a maximum application rate of 1.4 lb a.i./A on grapes.  Combined surface water
EDWCs for cyprodinil and the CGA-249287 metabolite used in the exposure assessment, are
provided in Table 9.

Dietary and Drinking Water Exposure and Risk
Screening-level acute and chronic dietary and drinking water exposure and risk
assessment was conducted using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model with the Food
Commodity Intake Database (DEEM-FCID™).  Dietary risk assessment incorporates both
exposure and toxicity of a given pesticide.  For acute and chronic dietary assessments, the risk is
expressed as a percentage of a maximum acceptable dose (i.e., the dose which HED has
concluded will result in no unreasonable adverse health effects).  This dose is referred to as the
population adjusted dose (PAD).  The PAD is equivalent to the reference dose (RfD) divided by
the additional Safety Factor, if applied. For acute and non-cancer chronic exposures, HED is
concerned when estimated dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD.
4.3.1  Acute Dietary and Drinking Water Analysis
A screening level acute dietary exposure analysis was performed for the population
subgroup females 13-49 only.  No acute endpoint was identified for the remaining population
subgroups.  Tolerance level residues and 100 crop treated assumptions were used.  DEEM
default and empirical processing factors were used to modify the tolerance values.  The acute
analysis incorporated the 1 in 10 year peak surface drinking water estimate from application of
cyprodinil to grapes.  The resulting 95th percentile acute exposure estimate for females 13-49
years old is not of concern to HED (4% acute population adjusted dose (aPAD)).

4.3.2  Chronic Dietary and Drinking Water Analysis
A moderately refined chronic dietary exposure analysis was performed for the general
U.S. population and various population subgroups.  Average field trial residues for pome fruit,
tolerance level residues for the remaining commodities, and 100 % crop treated assumptions
were used.   DEEM default and empirical processing factors were used to modify the tolerance
values.  The chronic analysis incorporated the 10 year average surface drinking water estimate
from application of cyprodinil to grapes.  Chronic dietary risk estimates are not of concern for
general population or other population subgroups.  The subgroup with the highest risk estimate
was children 1-2 years old with a cPAD of 86%.  The cPAD for the general U.S. population was
43%.

AGGREGATE EXPOSURE AND RISK ASSESSMENT
In accordance with the FQPA, when there are potential residential exposures to a
pesticide, aggregate risk assessment must consider exposures from three major routes: oral,
dermal, and inhalation.  There are three sources for these types of exposures:  food, drinking
water, and residential uses.  In an aggregate assessment, exposures from relevant sources are
added together and compared to quantitative estimates of hazard (e.g., a NOAEL or PAD), or the
risks themselves can be aggregated.  When aggregating exposures and risks from various
sources, HED considers both the route and duration of exposure.  An aggregate risk assessment
of combined short-term dermal, inhalation and oral exposure is required for residential handlers
because PODs selected for these exposure routes are based on common toxicological effects
(i.e., liver effects). MOEs for residential exposure are provided in Table 12.  Aggregate MOEs
for food, water and residential exposure are provided in Table 13.

6.0 CUMULATIVE RISK
Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering whether to establish,
modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency consider “available information” concerning the
cumulative effects of a particular pesticide's residues and “other substances that have a common
mechanism of toxicity.”
EPA does not have, at this time, available data to determine whether cyprodinil has a
common mechanism of toxicity with other substances.  Unlike other pesticides for which EPA
has followed a cumulative risk approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity, EPA has
not made a common mechanism of toxicity finding as to cyprodinil  and any other substances
and, cyprodinil does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances
which have tolerances in the U. S.  For the purposes of this tolerance reassessment action,
therefore, EPA has not assumed that cyprodinil has a common mechanism of toxicity with other

Page 22 of 38
substances.  For information regarding EPA’s efforts to determine which chemicals have a
common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the cumulative effects of such chemicals, see the
policy statements released by EPA’s OPP concerning common mechanism determinations and
procedures for cumulating effects from substances found to have a common mechanism on
EPA’s website at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA_PEST/2002/January/Day_16/.
