SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0047, dated February 16, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0047) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X, FALCON
900EX, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Dassault
Aviation Model FALCON 7X, FALCON 900EX, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 19, 2021 (86 FR
46629). The NPRM was prompted by a report of an improper heat treatment
process applied during the manufacturing of certain titanium screws.
The NPRM proposed to require replacement of certain titanium screws, as
specified in EASA AD 2021-0047.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address failure of an affected screw
installed in a critical location, possibly resulting in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received a comment from an anonymous commenter who
supported the NPRM without change.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. 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. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0047 specifies procedures for replacement of certain
Decomatic titanium screws (including an inspection of the bore
dimension and corrective actions (oversizing or repair)). The EASA AD
also restricts installation of certain Decomatic titanium screws. 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 30 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Labor cost                  Parts cost         Cost per product          Cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 90 work-hours x $85 per hour =              * $0  Up to $7,650.............  Up to $229,500.
 Up to $7,650.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FAA has received no definitive information regarding cost estimates for these parts.

    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected operators. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected operators. As a result, the FAA has included all known costs
in the cost estimate.

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.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2018-18-05, Amendment 39-19384 (83 FR 44463,
August 31, 2018) (AD 2018-18-05), for certain ATR-GIE Avions de
Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42-200, -300, and -320 airplanes. AD
2018-18-05 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued
AD 2018-18-05 to prevent reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
    The FAA also issued AD 2020-09-16, Amendment 39-19912 (85 FR 29596,
May 18, 2020) (AD 2020-09-16), which applies to all ATR-GIE Avions de
Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42-200, -300, and -320 airplanes. AD
2020-09-16 requires revising the existing

maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2020-09-
16 to address reduced structural integrity of the airplane. AD 2020-09-
16 specifies that accomplishing the revision required by paragraph (g)
of that AD terminates all requirements of AD 2018-18-05.
    The FAA issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD to
supersede AD 2018-18-05 and AD 2020-09-16 that would apply to all ATR-
GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42-200, -300, and -320
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 6, 2022
(87 FR 19818) (the NPRM). The NPRM was prompted by MCAI originated by
the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA
issued AD 2021-0211, dated September 17, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0211), to
correct an unsafe condition. The NPRM proposed to retain the
requirements of AD 2020-09-16. The NPRM also proposed to require
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations.

Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued the NPRM, EASA superseded EASA AD 2021-0211
and issued EASA AD 2022-0062, dated April 8, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0062)
(also referred to after this as the MCAI). The MCAI states that since
EASA AD 2021-0211 was issued ATR published Revision 11 of the ATR 42-
200/-300/-320 Time Limits Document (TLD), which includes new or more
restrictive maintenance tasks and airworthiness limitations.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-0395.

Comments

    The FAA received a comment from The Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA), who supported the NPRM without change.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2022-0062 describes new or more restrictive maintenance
tasks and airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and
components.
    This proposed AD would also require EASA AD 2019-0256, dated
October 17, 2019, which the Director of the Federal Register approved
for incorporation by reference as of June 22, 2020 (85 FR 29596, May
18, 2020).
    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.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI described above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after
determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to
exist or develop in other products of these same type designs.
    Certain changes described above expand the scope of the NPRM. As a
result, it is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide
additional opportunity for the public to comment on this SNPRM.

Proposed AD Requirements in This SNPRM

    This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2020-09-16.
This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or
more restrictive maintenance tasks and airworthiness limitations, which
are specified in EASA AD 2022-0062 described previously, as proposed
for incorporation by reference. Any differences with EASA AD 2022-0062
are identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) according to
paragraph (m)(1) of this proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 26 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2020-09-16 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing 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.
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed
actions 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.

	1Certain EPA actions are exempt from the procedural requirements of NEPA and the CEQ Regulations.  See Attachment 1.

	2The courts have determined, and CEQ has issued guidelines, that NEPA does not apply to Federal agency actions significantly affecting the environment of the global commons or the environment of a foreign nation not participating with the United States and not otherwise involved in the action.  The Executive Order is “... solely for the purpose of establishing internal procedures for Federal agencies to consider the significant effects of their actions on the environment outside the [U.S.], its territories and possessions ...” [Executive 0rder 12114, Section 3-1]

	3This may include such actions as EPA-issued permits for hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities under section 3005 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6925), NPDES permits under section 402 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1342), and prevention of significant deterioration approvals under Part C of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7470 et seq.).

	4Approximately 75% of EPA’s grants are under the STAG appropriations account.  Certain line items in the STAG appropriations account are not subject to NEPA (see Attachment 1).  Grantee actions subject to NEPA are predominately under the STAG appropriations account (including consideration of the Wastewater Treatment Construction Grants Program and other actions subject to NEPA, including those under the Agency’s Environmental Programs and Management (EPM) account).

	5North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, NAICS 2002,  http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html, and http://www.sba.gov/size/sizetable2002.html.

	6If an EA or EIS is to be prepared for an action subject to NEPA, the Responsible Official and the applicant may enter into an agreement whereby the applicant engages and pays for the services of a third-party contractor to prepare an EA or EIS and any supporting documents.  The Responsible Official has sole authority for approval and modification of the statements, analyses, and conclusions of the EA or EIS and any supporting documents.   Because EISs are generally more complex than EAs in terms of the issues to be addressed and the associated analyses, it has generally been EPA’s experience that grantees and permit applicants will enter into third-party agreements with EPA for preparation of the EIS and supporting documents.  (See Attachment 2.)

	7For grantees, there may be a financial difference in that a grantee generally may use EPA financial assistance to prepare an EID but not to prepare a draft EA and supporting documents; for grantees, third-party contractor costs for preparing an EID may also be grant-eligible.  It has been EPA’s experience that grantees contract directly for preparation of environmental information or use in-house engineering contractors to prepare CE and draft EA documentation, usually without seeking cost reimbursement (see Attachment 2).  Permit applicants are not eligible for EPA financial assistance.

	8For example, a grantee action for renovation of an existing wastewater treatment or drinking water supply system may be categorically excluded.  An EA may be required for a grantee action to construct a new sewage treatment system in a small governmental jurisdiction; or to assess a new source NPDES permit for a discharge from a concentrated animal feeding operation for chickens, cattle, hogs or pigs.  An EIS may be required for a grantee action to construct a new sewage treatment plant with potential for significant impacts to wetlands, or cultural or archaeological features; or to assess a new source NPDES permit for discharges from an oil and gas extraction facility, or mining operation, or a concentrated animal feeding operation with potential for significant impacts to wetlands, or cultural or archaeological features, or threatened or endangered species.

	9The applicant would not be required to develop, acquire, install, or utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; or train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information.

	10Categorical exclusions are subject to notice and comment rulemaking and, thus, public scrutiny.

	11EPA’s Peer Review Guidelines recognize the public review process for NEPA documents.  Also, EPA’s Quality System may apply to certain information gathering activities undertaken directly by EPA.

	14EPA’s Office of Water computer system report, “Special Appropriations Act Projects and Program, Count of Grants Awarded by Fiscal Year.”

	15EPA Headquarters also has two active grants representing 0.3% of the total 601 grants.  Because the majority of the grant actions occur in the Regions, the 599 regional grants are the base for this RFA/SBREFA screening analysis.

	16http://www.census.gov/.  Borough and parish jurisdictions are “county” designations in certain states.

	17As stated in Section 2(e) and footnote 4, most grants issued by EPA are awarded to governmental jurisdictions for special projects identified in the STAG account authorized by Congress through the Agency’s annual Appropriations Act.  See Section 3(b) for the definition of small government used in this screening analysis.

	18See further discussion in Section 7 regarding applicant financial hardship, including inability to provide the requested environmental information.

	19Under appropriate grant conditions, grantees generally may use EPA financial assistance to prepare an EID but not to prepare a draft EA and supporting documents.  Third-party contract costs for an EID may also be grant-eligible.  For grantee contractor costs to be reimbursable, grantees must meet certain contractor requirements, including procurement criteria.

	20It has been EPA’s experience that applicants often use in-house engineering contractors for preparing CE- and EA-related environmental documents usually without seeking cost reimbursement.

	21EPA believes the calculations for this RFA/SBREFA screening analysis are representative of most projects.  EPA’s experience with a limited number of EISs has included one-time costs ranging from nominal for information submitted by letter to supplement an existing oil and gas extraction EIS to over a million dollars for new EISs for a mining project and an oil and gas extraction project with multiple complex issues.  (See Attachment 2.)

	22One-time capital/start-up costs usually include any produced physical good needed to provide the necessary information.  Start-up capital must be purchased for the specific purpose of satisfying EPA's reporting or recordkeeping requirements.  Capital goods include computers, machinery, or equipment.  Start-up capital costs are usually incurred at the beginning of an information collection period and are usually incurred only once.

	23EPA’s NEPA review for permit renewals is generally based on information submitted by the applicant in the permit renewal application and other information generally available to EPA.  If the permit parameters have changed, this would be considered a new, one-time action for purposes of the NEPA review process.

	24In the case of dairy operations, it is assumed one permit would be issued for the entire operation; e.g., any discharges from the milk production as well as discharges from the CAFO area.  However, for purposes of this RFA/SBREFA screening analysis, the dairy operators are used in the evaluation of the economic impacts for dairy operations and again for CAFOs for purposes of demonstrating the full range of business operations, including small businesses, that may be involved in the NPDES permit process.

	25Annual revenues/sales information is not available for the two small business seafood processors.  For purposes of this RFA/SBREFA screening analysis, it is assumed their annual revenue/sales would be no more than $750,000.

	26Based on analysis of grant applicants in previous years (see Section 6), EPA anticipates that of approximately 300 annual grantees, about 90 will be large governments, about 170 small governments, and about 40 special districts.  For a total of approximately 312 annual projects, the total estimated annual number of small entities is about 174.

	27“Not classified” generally means the project type the monies were appropriated for has not yet been identified.  The project may be a new type or may be incremental funding for a previously funded project.  For purposes of this RFA/SBREFA screening analysis, EPA assumed these monies were appropriated for a new project type in order to include more projects and thus more governmental entities, including the possibility of small governments, in this screening analysis.

	28Attachment 3 lists total population and Attachment 4 lists household population.  These figures are not the same because the total population includes all who live in the census area while household population excludes “quarters populations” (e.g., those in institutions (incarcerated, mental institutions, nursing homes) and non-institutional populations (college dorms, military barracks, group homes, missions and shelters)).

	29Applicants would normally be requested to demonstrate financial hardship, including inability to provide the requested environmental information.  If so demonstrated, then EPA would undertake the environmental review necessary for the grant or permit action.

	30Under appropriate grant conditions, grantees generally may use EPA financial assistance to prepare an EID but not to prepare a draft EA and supporting documents.  Third-party contractor costs for an EID may also be grant-eligible.  For grantee contractor costs to be reimbursable, grantees must meet certain contractor requirements, including procurement criteria.

	31As discussed in Section 2(d) of this screening analysis, EPA is collecting information from certain applicants as part of the process of complying with either NEPA or Executive Order 12114.  EPA’s Executive Order 12114 procedures further the purpose of NEPA and provide that EPA may be guided by these procedures to the extent they are applicable.  Therefore, when EPA conducts an environmental assessment pursuant to its Executive Order 12114 procedures, the Agency generally follows its NEPA procedures.  For purposes of this analysis, applicant-proposed actions subject to either NEPA or Executive Order 12114 (and that are not addressed in other EPA programs), are addressed through the NEPA assessment process.

	32Certain EPA actions are exempt from NEPA as discussed in Attachment 1.

	33EPA’s Office of Water SAAPP computer system report, “Special Appropriations Act Projects and Program, Count of Grants Awarded, by Fiscal Year.”

	34Because this number is less than 1% of the total estimated annual number of STAG projects (e.g., 5 out of 300), these 5 projects are not subtracted from the 300 total in the applicant cost calculations.
