                  	NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NIMS)
                         INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM (ICS)
                          POSITION TASK BOOKS (PTBs)

Position Task Books (PTBs) are designed to be used by any individual (trainee) interested in becoming certified under the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The PTBs are intended to be used to document experiences that indicate successful completion of tasks specific to an Incident Command System (ICS) position. The performance requirements for each position are associated with core ICS competencies, behaviors, and tasks as suggested to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by a multi-disciplined, highly-experienced expert panel.

Trainees are evaluated during this process by qualified evaluators, and the trainee's performance is documented in the PTB for each task by the evaluator's initials and date of completion. An Evaluation Record will be completed by all evaluators documenting the trainee's progress after each evaluation opportunity.

Successful performance of all tasks, as observed and recorded by an evaluator, will result in a recommendation to the trainee's Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), that the trainee be certified in that position. Evaluation and confirmation of the trainee's performance while completing all tasks will normally require more than one training assignment and several different evaluators. Incidents lasting several days may involve multiple evaluators. Tasks may be evaluated on incidents, in a classroom simulation, in training and exercises, and in other work situations as long as there is a qualified evaluator.

It is important that performance be critically evaluated and accurately recorded by each evaluator. All tasks should be evaluated.

The NIMS Qualification Process Guide lists the definitions for trainee, evaluator, training officer, and AHJ.

Responsibilities:

1. Authority having jurisdiction (AHJ):
   * Selecting trainees based on the needs of their organization or to fulfill their obligations to contribute to Incident Management Teams (IMTs) or other Mutual Aid agreements
   * Providing opportunities for evaluation and/or making the trainee available for evaluation

2. Trainee:
   * Reviewing and understanding instructions in the PTB
   * Identifying desired objectives/goals whenever an opportunity for evaluation is recognized
   * Providing background information to an evaluator
   * Assuring the evaluation record is complete
   * Completing all tasks for an assigned position within the timeframe allowed for that position (all tasks with an approval older than the allowed timeframe should be reevaluated)
   * Notifying the local AHJ /training officer when the PTB is completed, and obtaining a signature recommending certification
   * Retaining the original PTB and provide a copy of the PTB to the appropriate individual/department to obtain a qualification from your agency

3. Evaluator(s):
   * Being qualified and proficient in the evaluated position
   * Meeting with the trainee and determining past experience, current qualifications and desired objectives/goals
   * Reviewing tasks with the trainee
   * Explaining to the trainee the evaluation procedures that will be utilized and which tasks may be performed during the evaluation period
   * Accurately evaluating and recording demonstrated performance of tasks
   * Dating and initialing completion of the task to indicate satisfactory performance
   * Documenting unsatisfactory performance
   * Completing the Evaluation Form found at the end of each PTB
   * Completing an Incident Personnel Performance Rating (ICS 225) form

4. Final Evaluator:
   * Being qualified and proficient in the position being evaluated
   * Reviewing the trainee's record to ensure completeness
   * Signing the verification statement on page 2 of the PTB when all tasks have been initialed
   * Ensuring all tasks have been completed within the three years prior to submission for final approval (any task with an approval older than three years should be reevaluated and brought up to date)

5. Training Officer:
   * Providing the correct version of the PTB to the individual in order to document performance
   * Explaining to the trainee the purpose and processes of the PTB as well as the trainee's responsibilities
   * Tracking progress of the trainee
   * Identifying incidents or situations where the trainee may have evaluation opportunities
   * Identifying and assigning an evaluator who can provide a positive experience for the trainee, when the evaluation opportunity is within the AHJ's jurisdiction
   * Receiving and filing documentation from the assignment

6.  AHJ Designee
   * Issuing the PTB to document task performance
   * Explaining to the trainee the purpose and processes of the PTB as well as the trainee's responsibilities
   * Tracking progress of the trainee
   * Identifying incident evaluation opportunities
   * Identifying and assigning an evaluator who can provide a positive experience for the trainee, and make an accurate and honest appraisal of the trainee's performance
   * Documenting the assignment
   * Conducting progress reviews
   * Conducting a closeout interview with the trainee and evaluator and assuring documentation is proper and complete

Competencies, Behaviors and Tasks:

Each PTB lists the performance requirements (tasks) for specific positions set by the ICS competencies and behaviors (September 2007) recognized by FEMA's National Integration Center and posted to the NIMS Resource Center Web site, http://www.fema.gov/emergency/nims/.

There are numerous bullet statements listed under each task. The bullet statements are listed as guidelines/examples for the evaluator to follow to ensure the intent of the task has been completed. Not all bullet statements for a task are required to be completed if the overall intent of the task has been satisfied.

Each task has a code associated with the type of training assignment where the task may be completed. These include: O = other, I = incident/event and R = rare event. Definitions for these codes may be found below*. While tasks can be performed in any situation, they should be evaluated on the specific type of incident/event for which they are coded. Tasks coded "I" should be evaluated on an incident/event, and so on. Performance of any task other than the designated assignment is not valid for qualification.

*Code:
    O 	=  Task can be completed in a variety of situations, such as in a classroom, exercise or simulation, incident or event, or daily job.
    I	=	Task should be performed on an incident or event which is managed under the ICS (ICS).
    R	=	Rare events seldom occur and opportunities to evaluate trainee performance in real settings are limited. Examples of rare events include accidents, injuries, vehicle and aircraft crashes. Through interviews, the evaluator may be able to determine if the trainee could perform the task in a real situation.

               INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE EVALUATION RECORD

There are four separate blocks allowing evaluations to be made. These evaluations may be made on incidents, simulations in classroom, or in daily duties, depending on what the PTB indicates.  This should be sufficient for qualification in the position if the individual is adequately prepared. If additional blocks are needed, a page can be copied from a blank task book and attached.

COMPLETE THESE ITEMS AT THE START OF THE EVALUATION PERIOD:
Evaluator's Name, Incident/Office Title and Agency:  List the name of the evaluator, his/her incident position or office title, and agency.
Evaluator's Home Unit Address and Phone:  Self-explanatory
Incident Number:  The number next to the evaluator's name in the upper left corner of the evaluation record identifies a particular incident or group of incidents. This number should be placed in the column labeled "Evaluation Record #" on the PTB for each task performed satisfactorily. This number enables reviewers of the completed PTB to ascertain the qualifications of the different evaluators prior to making the appropriate sign-off on the PTB.
Location of Incident/Simulation:  Identify the location where the tasks were performed by agency and office.
Incident Kind:  Enter kind of incident (e.g., hazmat, wildland fire, structural fire, search and rescue, flood, tornado, etc.).

COMPLETE THESE ITEMS AT THE END OF THE EVALUATION PERIOD:
Number and Type of Resources:  Enter the number of resources and types assigned to the incident pertinent to the trainee's position.
Duration:  Enter inclusive dates during which the trainee was evaluated. This block may indicate a span of time covering several small and similar incidents if the trainee has been evaluated on that basis (e.g. several initial response wildfires in similar fuel types).
Recommendation:  Check as appropriate and/or make comments regarding the future needs for development of this trainee.
Date:  List the date the record is being completed.
Evaluator's Initials:  Initial here to authenticate recommendations and to allow for comparison with initials in the PTB.

40 CFR Part 282

[EPA-R04-UST-2013-0679; FRL-9909-12-Region 4]

Underground Storage Tank Program: Codification of Approved State
Program for South Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended
(RCRA), authorizes the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) to grant approval to states to operate their underground storage
tank programs in lieu of the federal program. The EPA codifies its
decision to approve state underground storage tank programs and
incorporate by reference those provisions of the state statutes and
regulations that EPA has approved. This action codifies the prior
approval of South Carolina's underground storage tank program, which
EPA approved on August 28, 2002, and incorporates by reference approved
provisions of South Carolina's statutes and regulations.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective June 9, 2014, unless EPA
publishes a prior Federal Register notice withdrawing this direct final
rule. All comments on the codification of South Carolina's underground
storage tank program must be received by the close of business May 12,
2014. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register, as
of June 9, 2014, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    Section 9004 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991c, authorizes EPA to approve a
state underground storage tank program to operate in the state in lieu
of the federal underground storage tank program. EPA published a notice
of final determination in the Federal Register announcing its decision
to grant approval to South Carolina on August 28, 2002, and approval
was effective on September 27, 2002 (67 FR 55160-55162).
    EPA codifies its approval of state programs in 40 CFR Part 282, and
incorporates by reference therein the state's statutes and regulations.
Today's action codifies EPA's prior approval of South Carolina's
underground storage tank program. This codification reflects the state
program in effect at the time EPA granted South Carolina approval under
Section 9004(a), 42 U.S.C. 6991c, for its underground storage tank
program. Notice and opportunity for comment were provided earlier on
EPA's decision to approve the South Carolina program, and EPA is not
now reopening that decision nor requesting comment on it.
    This effort provides clear notice to the public of the scope of the
approved program in South Carolina. By codifying the approved South
Carolina program and by amending the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
whenever a new or different set of requirements is approved in South
Carolina, the status of federally-approved requirements of the South
Carolina program will be readily discernible. Only those provisions of
the South Carolina underground storage tank program EPA has approved
will be incorporated by reference.
    To codify EPA's approval of South Carolina's underground storage
tank program, EPA has added Section 282.90 to Title 40 of the CFR.
Section 282.90(d)(1)(i) incorporates by reference the State's statutes
and regulations that make up the approved program. Section 282.90(d)
also references the Attorney General's Statement, the Demonstration of
Adequate Enforcement Procedures, the Program Description, and the
Memorandum of Agreement, which were evaluated as part of the approval
process of the underground storage tank program, in accordance with
Subtitle I of RCRA.
    EPA retains the authority, in accordance with Sections 9003(h),
9005 and 9006 of Subtitle I of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991b(h), 6991d and
6991e, and other applicable statutory and regulatory provisions, to
undertake corrective actions, inspections and enforcement actions in
approved States. With respect to such an enforcement action, EPA will
rely on federal sanctions, federal inspection authorities, and federal
procedures rather than the state authorized analogues to these
provisions. Therefore, the South Carolina inspection and enforcement
authorities are not incorporated by reference, nor are they part of
South Carolinas's approved state program which operates in lieu of the
federal program. These authorities, however, are listed in Section
282.90(d)(1)(ii) for informational purposes, and also because EPA
considered them in determining the adequacy of South Carolina's
enforcement authority. South Carolina's authority to inspect and
enforce the State's underground storage tank requirements continues to
operate independently under State law.
    Some provisions of South Carolina's underground storage tank
program are not part of the federally approved State program. These
non-approved provisions are not part of the RCRA Subtitle I program
because they are ``broader in scope'' than Subtitle I of RCRA. See 40
CFR 281.12(a)(3)(ii). As a result, State provisions which are ``broader
in scope'' than the federal program are not incorporated by reference
in 40 CFR Part 282. Section 282.90(d)(1)(iii) of the codification
simply lists for reference and clarity the South Carolina statutory and
regulatory provisions which are ``broader in scope'' than the federal
program and which are not, therefore, part of the approved State
program being codified today. ``Broader in scope'' provisions cannot be
enforced by EPA; the State, however, will continue to enforce such
provisions.
    When the phrases, ``insofar'' and ``except insofar,'' are used in
Appendix A (which provides an informational listing of the state
requirements incorporated by reference in CFR Part 282), refer to the
binders in the codification materials for specifics as to any words,
phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or subsections that are ``crossed-out''
in the binders. These crossed-out materials are not incorporated by
reference in Part 282 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

B. Statutory and Executive Order Review

    This action codifies South Carolina's underground storage tank
program that

EPA has previously approved pursuant to RCRA Section 9004, and imposes
no requirements other than those imposed by State law. This action
complies with applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as
follows: 1. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning Review--The
Office of Management and Budget has exempted this action from its
review under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866. 2. Paperwork Reduction Act--
This action does not impose an information collection burden under the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., because this action
does not establish or modify any information or recordkeeping
requirements for the regulated community, and only seeks to codify the
pre-existing and previously approved requirements under State law and
imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law.
3. Regulatory Flexibility Act and Unfunded Mandates Reform Act--After
considering the economic impacts of today's action on small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that this action will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities because the action will only have the effect of authorizing
pre-existing requirements under State law and imposes no additional
requirements beyond those imposed by State law. 4. Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act--Because this action codifies pre-existing requirements
under South Carolina state law and does not impose any additional
enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it does not contain
any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. 5.
Executive Order 13132: Federalism--E.O. 13132 does not apply to this
action because it will not have Federalism implications. It will not
have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among various levels of government. 6.
Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments--This action will not have substantial direct effects on
tribal governments, on the relationship between the Federal Government
and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This action merely incorporates by reference the
South Carolina underground storage tank program requirements that EPA
has already approved. South Carolina is not approved to implement RCRA
underground storage tank program in Indian Country. This action has no
effect on the underground storage tank program that EPA implements in
Indian Country. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
action. 7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from
Environmental Health & Safety Risks--EPA interprets Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks, such that the
analysis required under Section 5-501 of the Executive Order has the
potential to influence the regulation. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it will codify a previously approved
state program. 8. Executive Order 13211: Actions that Significantly
Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use--This action is not subject
to E.O. 13211 because it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' as
defined in E.O. 12866. 9. National Technology Transfer And Advancement
Act--EPA has previously addressed the non-applicability of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act in its final approval of this
state program. See 67 FR 55160. Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), (15 U.S.C.
272 note), directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations
when the Agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary
consensus standards. This action does not involve technical standards.
Therefore, Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act does not apply to this action. 10. Executive Order
12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low Income Populations--Executive Order 12898 (59 FR
7629, February 16, 1994) establishes Federal executive policy on
environmental justice. Its main provision directs Federal agencies, to
the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, to make
environmental justice part of their mission by identifying and
addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human
health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and
activities on minority populations and low-income populations in the
United States. EPA has determined that this action will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations. This action does not
affect the level of protection provided to human health or the
environment because this action simply codifies pre-existing and
previously approved State rules which are no less stringent than
existing Federal requirements. 11. Congressional Review Act--EPA will
submit a report containing this action and other information required
by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) to the U.S.
Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General
of the United States prior to publication in the Federal Register. A
major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in
the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2).

of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6991 et seq. The State's program,
as administered by the South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control, was approved by EPA pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6991c
and part 281 of this chapter. EPA published the notice of final
determination approving the South

Carolina underground storage tank program on August 28, 2002, and that
approval became effective on September 27, 2002.
    (b) South Carolina has primary responsibility for enforcing its
underground storage tank program. However, EPA retains the authority to
exercise its corrective action, inspection and enforcement authorities
under sections 9003(h), 9005 and 9006 of Subtitle I of RCRA, 42 U.S.C.
6991b(h), 6991d and 6991e, as well as under other statutory and
regulatory provisions.
    (c) To retain program approval, South Carolina must revise its
approved program to adopt new changes to the federal Subtitle I program
which make it more stringent, in accordance with section 9004 of RCRA,
42 U.S.C. 6991c, and 40 CFR part 281, subpart E. If South Carolina
obtains approval for the revised requirements pursuant to section 9004
of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991c, the newly approved statutory and regulatory
provisions will be added to this subpart and notice of any change will
be published in the Federal Register.
    (d) South Carolina has final approval for the following elements
submitted to EPA in the State's program application for final approval
as of August 28, 2002. Copies of South Carolina's program application
may be obtained from the South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control, Underground Storage Tank Program, 2600 Bull

Adequacy Status of the Washington County, OH and the Ohio Portion
of the Huntington/Ashland KY/WV/OH Area Submitted Annual Fine
Particulate Matter Attainment Demonstration for Transportation
Conformity Purposes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of adequacy.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that we have made
insignificance findings through the transportation conformity adequacy
process for directly emitted fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) in Washington County, Ohio
(part of the Parkersburg/Marietta annual PM2.5 nonattainment
area) and the Ohio portion of the Huntington/Ashland annual
PM2.5 nonattainment area. Ohio submitted the attainment
demonstration State Implementation Plan (SIP) for annual
PM2.5 initially on July 16, 2008, and subsequently submitted
the public hearing results on December 5, 2008. As a result of our
finding, Washington County, Ohio and the Ohio portion of the
Huntington/Ashland area are no longer required to perform a regional
emissions analysis for either directly emitted PM2.5 or
NOX as part of future PM2.5 conformity
determinations for the 1997 annual PM2.5 air quality
standard.

DATES: This finding is effective December 22, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Morris, Environmental
Scientist, Criteria Pollutant Section (AR-18J), Air Programs Branch,
Air and Radiation Division, United States Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ``we'',
``us'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.

Background

    Today's notice is simply an announcement of a finding that we have
already made. On October 23, 2009, EPA Region 5 sent a letter to the
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency stating that we have made
insignificance findings for PM2.5 and NOX as the
state requested in its PM2.5 attainment demonstration
submittal, a finding we made through the transportation conformity
adequacy process. Receipt of

the submittal was announced on EPA's transportation conformity Web
site, and no comments were submitted. The finding is available at EPA's
conformity Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/
adequacy.htm.
    Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the
Clean Air Act. EPA's conformity rule requires that transportation
plans, programs, and projects conform to state air quality
implementation plans and establishes the criteria and procedures for
determining whether or not they do conform. Conformity to a SIP means
that transportation activities will not produce new air quality
violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of
the national ambient air quality standards.
    The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP's motor vehicle
emission budgets are adequate for transportation conformity purposes
are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). The Transportation Conformity Rule
in 40 CFR 93.109(k) states that a regional emissions analysis is no
longer necessary if EPA finds through the adequacy or approval process
that a SIP demonstrates that regional motor vehicle emissions are an
insignificant contributor to the air quality problem for that
pollutant/precursor. A finding of insignificance does not change the
requirement for a regional analysis for other pollutants and precursors
and does not change the requirement for hot spot analysis. We have
described our process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP
budgets in our July 1, 2004, preamble starting at 69 FR 40038, and we
used the information in these resources while making our adequacy
determination. Please note that an adequacy review is separate from
EPA's completeness review, and it also should not be used to prejudge
EPA's ultimate approval of the SIP. Even if we find a budget adequate,
the SIP could later be disapproved.
    The finding and the response to comments are available at EPA's
transportation conformity Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm.

    Authority:  42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.

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 the discovery that existing
maintenance tasks do not detect the potential failure of the passenger
door detent mechanism because there is no procedure for inspecting the
passenger door locking mechanism. This proposed AD would require
revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
require use of a certain aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) task during
accomplishment of a specified maintenance check. 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 February 5,
2024.

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 should be sent to
Gabriel Kim, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 Stewart Avenue, Suite

this rulemaking.

Background

    Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued Transport Canada AD CF-2023-25, dated April 13, 2023 (Transport
Canada AD CF-2023-25) (also referred to after this as the MCAI), to
correct an unsafe condition on certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-
1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states time limited
maintenance check (TLMC) item 52-11-00-201, ``Passenger Door Mechanism
Functional Test,'' does not detect potential failure of the passenger
door detent mechanism. Associated aircraft maintenance manual (AMM)
task 52-11-00-720-801, ``Passenger Door Mechanism Functional Test,''
does not provide a procedure for inspecting the passenger door locking
mechanism.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to address potential failures of the
uninspected detents (external handle detent and torque tube detent) in
combination with a failure of the tension pot spring assembly. The
unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in the main passenger
door opening during unpressurized flight.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-2397.

    This service information specifies new inspection instructions for
the passenger door detent mechanisms.
    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 ADDRESSES.

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 referenced 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 the use of AMM Task 52-11-00-720-
801, dated August 16, 2022, during accomplishment of TLMC Item 52-11-
00-201. It also prohibits using AMM Task 52-11-00-720-801, dated 19 May
2022 or earlier.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 482 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:
    The FAA has determined that revising the maintenance or inspection
program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although the
agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator to operator.
Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes
for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined that a per-operator
estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. Therefore, the
agency estimates the average total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90
work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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.

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:

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA-2023-2397; Project Identifier MCAI-
2023-00601-T.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by February 5, 2024.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-
700-1A11 airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers (S/
Ns) 9002 through 60065 inclusive.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 52, Doors.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the discovery that existing maintenance
tasks do not detect the potential failure of the passenger door
detent mechanism because there is no procedure for inspecting the
passenger door locking mechanism. The FAA is proposing

this AD to address potential failures of the uninspected detents
(external handle detent and torque tube detent) in combination with
a failure of the tension pot spring assembly. The unsafe condition,
if not addressed, could result in the main passenger door opening
during unpressurized flight.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Maintenance or Inspection Program Task Restrictions

    Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to use
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) Task 52-11-00-720-801,
``Functional Test of the Passenger Door Mechanism,'' as specified in
the applicable AMMs identified in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this
AD, when performing time limited maintenance check item 52-11-00-
201.
