Airplanes AGENCY : Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION : Final rule. SUMMARY : The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC–8–400, –401, and –402 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that the epoxy primer on the internal bore of the nacelle and landing gear attachment pins was not applied, and corrosion on the internal bore of the wing rear spar attachment pins was found. This AD requires doing a detailed visual inspection of the nacelle to wing rear spar attachment pins, and the nacelle and landing gear attachment pins, for any corrosion, and doing all applicable corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES : This AD is effective March 3, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF– 2020–51R1, dated February 24, 2021 (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC– 8–400, –401, and –402 airplanes. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at https:// www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2021– 0514. The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC–8–400, –401, and –402 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 29, 2021 (86 FR 34163). The NPRM was prompted by a report that the epoxy VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:00 Jan 26, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\27JAR1.SGM 27JAR1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 4146 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 18 / Thursday, January 27, 2022 / Rules and Regulations primer on the internal bore of the nacelle and landing gear attachment pins was not applied, and corrosion on the internal bore of the wing rear spar attachment pins was found. The NPRM proposed to require doing a detailed visual inspection of the nacelle to wing rear spar attachment pins, and the nacelle and landing gear attachment pins, for any corrosion, and doing all applicable corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address premature corrosion and subsequent failure of the nacelle to landing gear and nacelle to rear wing spar attachment pins, which if undetected, could lead to a single or dual collapse of the main landing gear. See the MCAI for additional background information. Comments The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this final rule. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to each comment. Request To Use the Latest Service Information Horizon Air requested that the latest service information be used in the proposed AD. Horizon Air stated that since the NPRM was issued, the applicable service information specified in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of the proposed AD has been revised to De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Service Bulletin 84–54–31, Revision C, dated March 15, 2021. Horizon Air also requested that paragraph (h)(3) of the proposed AD be revised to allow credit for De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Service Bulletin 84–54–31, Revision B, dated February 21, 2020, if those actions were performed before the effective date of the proposed AD. The FAA agrees to use the latest service information in this AD. De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Service Bulletin 84–54–31, Revision C, dated March 15, 2021, adds information to the ‘‘Effectivity’’ section for production airplanes, i.e., specifying airplane line numbers that will have certain ModSums (for application of primer and corrosion preventive compound) installed before delivery. This information does not affect the applicability of this AD. De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Service Bulletin 84–54–31, Revision C, dated March 15, 2021, also adds additional acceptable polyurethane enamel, and clarifies that production pins can be used to replace corroded pins. These changes do not affect operators who use previous revisions of the service information to show compliance with this AD. There are no substantive changes to the procedures between Revision C of the service information and Revision B, which was proposed as required in the NPRM. Further, the technical content of this AD and the service information remains unchanged. The FAA has revised the ‘‘Related Service Information Under 1 CFR part 51’’ paragraph, Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD, and paragraphs (g)(2) and (i) of this AD accordingly. The FAA has also added paragraph (h)(4) of this AD to specify the requested credit. Conclusion The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this final rule with the changes described previously and minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and • Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM. The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final rule. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited has issued Service Bulletin 84– 54–28, Revision B, dated January 24, 2020; and Service Bulletin 84–54–31, Revision C, dated March 15, 2021. This service information describes procedures for doing a detailed visual inspection of the nacelle to wing rear spar attachment pins, and the nacelle and landing gear attachment pins, for any corrosion; and doing all applicable corrective actions. Corrective actions include applying epoxy primer to the bore surface of the pins, a fluorescent magnetic particle inspection for any cracking, corrosion removal, reworking and part marking certain pins, and replacing any cracked or corroded pins with serviceable pins. These documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane configurations. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section. Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD will affect 41 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD: E STIMATED C OSTS FOR R EQUIRED A CTIONS Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators Up to 9 work-hours × $85 per hour = Up to $765 ...................................................... $0 Up to $765 ............. Up to $31,365. The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this 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 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:00 Jan 26, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\27JAR1.SGM 27JAR1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 4147 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 18 / Thursday, January 27, 2022 / Rules and Regulations responsibilities among the various levels of government.
