SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background The FAA 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 BD–100–1A10 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 5, 2024 (89 FR 48139). The NPRM was prompted by AD CF–2023–29, dated May 5, 2023, issued by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada (referred to after this as the MCAI). The MCAI states that the time limits/maintenance check (TLMC) airworthiness limitation (AWL) Task 54–51–00–111*, ‘‘Discard of the Aft Engine Mount Bolts, Part No. MS21250– 07, Non-Serialized,’’ was not performed on some Challenger 300 in-service airplanes due to a misleading part number (P/N) referenced in the TLMC manual. The task requires the discard and replacement of the aft engine mount attachment bolt, P/N MS21250–07, while the P/N shown in the TLMC manual is P/N MS21250–7 in lieu of P/ N MS21250–07. Bombardier revised the TLMC AWL task and the relevant sections in the aircraft maintenance manual and the aircraft illustrated parts catalog with P/N MS21250–07 to ensure timely discard and replacement of the aft engine mount attachment bolts. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate a revised restrictive airworthiness limitation for the aft engine mount attachment bolts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address potential failures of the aft engine mount attachment bolt, P/N MS21250– 07. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to the detachment of the engine from the airplane, which could contribute to a catastrophic failure. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA–2024–1479. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion 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 referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on this product. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator. Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51 The FAA reviewed the following documents. This material specifies a revised airworthiness limitation for the replacement of the aft engine mount attachment bolts, P/N MS21250–07. These documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane configurations. The asterisk (or ‘‘one star’’) with the last three digits of the task numbers indicates that the task is an airworthiness limitation task. • Task 54–51–00–111* ‘‘Discard of the Aft Engine Mount Bolts, Part No. MS21250–07, Non-Serialized,’’ Section 5–10–10 ‘‘Life Limits (Structures),’’ Part 2 ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of the Bombardier Challenger 300 Time Limits/Maintenance Check, Publication No. CH 300 TLMC, Revision 24, dated August 9, 2023. • Task 54–51–00–111* ‘‘Discard of the Aft Engine Mount Bolts, Part No. MS21250–07, Non-Serialized,’’ Section 5–10–10 ‘‘Life Limits (Structures),’’ Part 2 ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations,’’ of the Bombardier Challenger 350 Time Limits/Maintenance Check, Publication No. CH 350 TLMC, Revision 14, dated August 9, 2023. This material 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 affects 731 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this 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 × $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 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and (3) 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.
