SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
AD 2021-26-23, Amendment 39-21882 (87 FR 3184, January 21, 2022)
(AD 2021-26-23), requires repetitive inspections for fuel leakage at
the engine and auxiliary power unit (APU) fuel pumps, related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary, an inspection of the
APU for damage and deformation, repair if necessary, and modification
of the engine electrical fuel pump (EFP) installation. The AD applies
to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604
Variants) airplanes.
Need for the Correction
As published, the regulatory text of AD 2021-26-23 included the
following errors:
<bullet> The AD number was incorrectly identified as ``2021-21-
23.'' The correct AD number is 2021-26-23.
<bullet> The last sentence of paragraph (g) requires use of certain
service information ``as the effective date of this AD.'' The correct
compliance time for that requirement is ``as of the effective date of
this AD.''
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
Bombardier has issued the following service information, which
describes procedures for repetitive general visual inspections and
rectifications for any fuel leak from the engine and APU EFP electrical
wiring conduit outlets. These documents are distinct since they apply
to different airplane serial numbers.
<bullet> Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-28-022, Revision 3, dated
August 31, 2018.
<bullet> Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-28-010, Revision 3, dated
August 31, 2018.
<bullet> Bombardier Service Bulletin 650-28-001, Revision 3, dated
January 3, 2019.
Bombardier has also issued the following service information, which
describes procedures for a detailed visual inspection of the APU for
any damage or deformations (e.g., cut wires and a broken harness
assembly of the fuel boost pump connector), modification of the engine
EFP installation, and repair if necessary. These documents are distinct
since they apply to different airplane serial numbers.
<bullet> Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-28-024, Revision 01, dated
May 28, 2021.
<bullet> Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-28-012, dated June 16,
2020.
<bullet> Bombardier Service Bulletin 650-28-002, dated June 16,
2020.
This AD also requires Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-28-022, dated
October 19, 2015, and Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-28-010, dated
October 19, 2015, which the Director of the Federal Register approved
for incorporation by reference as of November 30, 2017 (82 FR 49498,
October 26, 2017).
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.
Correction of Publication
This document corrects two errors in the regulatory text and
correctly adds the AD as an amendment to 14 CFR 39.13. Although no
other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been
corrected, the FAA is publishing the entire rule in the Federal
Register.
The effective date of this AD remains February 25, 2022.
Since this action only corrects the AD number and a minor
grammatical error in the regulatory text, it has no adverse economic
impact and imposes no additional burden on any person. Therefore, the
FAA has determined that notice and public procedures are unnecessary.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:

(82 FR 49498, October 26, 2017); and
0
b. Adding the following new AD:
2021-26-23 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment 39-21882; Docket No. FAA-
