We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this
proposed AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES
section. Include "Docket No. FAA-2009-0525; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-
027-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on
the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this
proposed AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and
may amend this proposed AD based on those comments.
We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also
post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this
proposed AD.
Discussion
As a result, the timely and safe evacuation of passenger and crew may be
impeded. The required actions include replacing the incorrect placards with
revised placards. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in
the AD docket.
This NPRM adds certain airplanes to the applicability; we have determined that
these additional airplanes are affected by the identified unsafe condition. These
airplanes were added as they also have the same interior configuration. This
NPRM also removes certain airplanes from the applicability; airplanes with serial
numbers 7075, 7099, 7136, 7140, 7152, 7176, and 7351 have been removed
because they have different placards installed.

Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 601R-11-088, Revision `A,' dated March
24, 2009. The actions described in this service information are intended to correct
the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.
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 the
same type design.
We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in general,
agree with their substance. But we might have found it necessary to use different
words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. operators and is
enforceable. In making these changes, we do not intend to differ substantively
from the information provided in the MCAI and related service information.
We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those in the MCAI
in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are highlighted in a note
within the proposed AD.
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD would affect
about 664 products of U.S. registry.
We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to comply with the
new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $128 per product. Where the service
information lists required parts costs that are covered under warranty, we have
assumed that there will be no charge for these costs. As we do not control
warranty coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than
estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD
on U.S. operators to be $138,112, or $208 per product.
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.
