ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 372

[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2023-0223; FRL 10781-01-OCSPP]
RIN 2070-AL40

Implementing Statutory Addition of Certain Per- and
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) to the Toxics Release Inventory
Beginning With Reporting Year 2023

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the list
of chemicals subject to toxic chemical release reporting under the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and the
Pollution Prevention Act (PPA). Specifically, this action updates the
regulations to identify nine per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
that must be reported pursuant to the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (FY2020 NDAA) enacted on December 20, 2019. As
this action is being taken to conform the regulations to a
Congressional legislative mandate, notice and comment rulemaking is
unnecessary.

DATES: This final rule is effective July 24, 2023.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2023-0223, is available at

affected by this action, you should carefully examine the applicability
criteria in 40 CFR part 372, subpart B. If you have questions regarding
the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is codifying the nine additional PFAS that were added to the
EPCRA section 313 list of reportable chemicals (more commonly known as
the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)) since the last conforming rule
pursuant to the FY2020 NDAA (87 FR 42651; July 18, 2022) (FRL-9427-01-
OCSPP)).

C. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    This action is issued under the authority of section 313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) (42 U.S.C.
11001 et seq.), section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) (42
U.S.C. 13106), and section 7321 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (FY2020 NDAA) (Pub. L. 116-92).

II. Background

A. What is NDAA section 7321?

    On December 20, 2019, the FY2020 NDAA was signed into law. Among
other provisions, section 7321(c) identifies certain regulatory
activities that automatically add PFAS or classes of PFAS to the EPCRA
section 313 list of reportable chemicals. Specifically, PFAS or classes
of PFAS are added to the EPCRA section 313 list of reportable chemicals
beginning January 1 of the calendar year after any one of the following
dates:
     Final Toxicity Value. The date on which the Administrator
finalizes a toxicity value for the PFAS or class of PFAS;
     Significant New Use Rule. The date on which the
Administrator makes a covered determination for the PFAS or class of
PFAS;
     Addition to Existing Significant New Use Rule. The date on
which the PFAS or class of PFAS is added to a list of substances
covered by a covered determination;
     Addition as an Active Chemical Substance. The date on
which the PFAS or class of PFAS to which a covered determination
applies is:
    (1) Added to the list published under section 8(b)(1) of the Toxic
Substances

Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.) and designated as an active
chemical substance under TSCA section 8(b)(5)(A); or
    (2) Designated as an active chemical substance under TSCA section
8(b)(5)(B) on the list published under TSCA section 8(b)(1).
    The FY2020 NDAA defines ``covered determination'' as a
determination made by rule under TSCA section 5(a)(2) that a use of a
PFAS or class of PFAS is a significant new use (except such a
determination made in connection with a determination described in TSCA
sections 5(a)(3)(B) or 5(a)(3)(C)).
    Under FY2020 NDAA section 7321(e), EPA must review confidential
business information (CBI) claims before PFAS are added to the list
pursuant to subsections (b)(1), (c)(1), or (d)(3) whose identities are
subject to a claim of protection from disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552(a),
pursuant to subsection (b)(4) of that section. Under the FY2020 NDAA
EPA must:
     Review a claim of protection from disclosure; and
     Require that person to reassert and substantiate or re-
substantiate that claim in accordance with TSCA section 14(f) (15
U.S.C. 2613(f)).
    In addition, if EPA determines that the chemical identity of a PFAS
or class of PFAS qualifies for protection from disclosure, EPA must
include the PFAS or class of PFAS on the TRI in a manner that does not
disclose the protected information.

B. What PFAS have been added to the TRI list?

    EPA has reviewed the above-listed criteria and found nine chemicals
that meet the requirements of this part of the FY2020 NDAA and whose
identity is not claimed as confidential business information (CBI).

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As stated above, under FY2020 NDAA section 7321(e), EPA must review
CBI claims before PFAS whose identities are subject to a claim of
protection from disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) (pursuant to
subsection (b)(4)) are added to the list. The substances with the CAS
No. 2728655-42-1, 2738952-61-7, 2742694-36-4, and 2744262-09-5 met the
criteria under FY2020 NDAA section 7321(c)(1)(A)(iii), but were subject
to a claim of protection from disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) at
that time (i.e., when the FY2020 NDAA was enacted). These substances'
identities have since been published on the non-confidential portion of
the TSCA Inventory in 2022; therefore, the chemicals were added
pursuant to FY2020 NDAA section 7321(e) to the TRI list and are being
incorporated into the CFR pursuant to this rule.
    As established by the FY2020 NDAA, the addition of these PFAS to
the EPCRA section 313 list of reportable chemicals is effective January
1 of the calendar year following any of the dates identified in FY2020
NDAA section 7321(c)(1)(A). Accordingly, non-CBI PFAS are reportable
beginning with the 2023 reporting year (i.e., reports due July 1,
2024).
    EPA is issuing this final rule to amend the EPCRA section 313 list
of reportable chemicals in 40 CFR 372.65 to include nine non-CBI PFAS
added pursuant to the FY2020 NDAA.

III. Good Cause Exception

    Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds
that public notice and comment procedures are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a
rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment.
EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this rule final
without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because such notice
and opportunity for comment is unnecessary. This action is being taken
to comply with a mandate in an Act of Congress, where Congress
identified actions that automatically add these chemicals to the TRI.
Thus, EPA has no discretion as to the outcome of this rule, which
merely aligns the regulations with the self-effectuating changes
provided by the FY2020 NDAA.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and 14094:
Modernizing Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action as defined in
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), as amended by
Executive Order 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023), and was therefore
not subject to a requirement for Executive Order 12866 review.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the PRA, 44 U.S.C 3501 et. seq. Burden is defined in 5 CFR
1320.3(b). OMB has previously approved the information collection
activities contained in the existing regulations and assigned OMB
control numbers 2070-0212 and 2050-0078.
    Currently, the facilities subject to the reporting requirements
under EPCRA section 313 and PPA section 6607 may use either EPA Toxic
Chemicals Release Inventory Form R (EPA Form 9350-1), or EPA Toxic
Chemicals Release Inventory Form A (EPA Form 9350-2). The Form R must
be completed if a facility manufactures, processes, or otherwise uses
any listed chemical above threshold quantities and meets certain other
criteria. For the Form A, EPA established an alternative threshold for
facilities with low annual reportable amounts of a listed toxic
chemical. The annual reportable amount is equal to the combined total
quantities of the following waste management activities:
     Released at the facility (including disposed of within the
facility);
     Treated at the facility (as represented by amounts
destroyed or converted by treatment processes);
     Recovered at the facility as a result of recycling
operations;
     Combusted for the purpose of energy recovery at the
facility; and
     Amounts transferred from the facility to off-site
locations for the purpose of recycling, energy recovery, treatment,
and/or disposal.
    A facility that meets the appropriate reporting thresholds, but
estimates that the total annual reportable amount of the chemical does
not exceed 500 pounds per year, can take advantage of an alternative
manufacture, process, or otherwise use threshold of 1 million pounds
per year of the chemical, provided that certain conditions are met, and
submit the Form A instead of the Form R. In addition, respondents may
designate the specific chemical identity of a substance as a trade
secret pursuant to EPCRA section 322 (42 U.S.C. 11042) and 40 CFR part
350. OMB has approved the reporting and recordkeeping requirements
related to Forms A and R, supplier notification, and petitions under
OMB Control No. 2070-0212 (EPA Information Collection Request (ICR) No.
2613.04) and those related to trade secret designations under OMB
Control No. 2050-0078 (EPA ICR No. 1428.12).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers relevant to
EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and displayed
on the information collection instruments (e.g., forms, instructions).

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    This action is not subject to the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. The RFA
applies only to rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking
requirements under the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute. As
discussed in Unit III., this rule is not subject to notice and comment
requirements because the Agency has invoked the APA ``good cause''
exception under 5 U.S.C. 553(b).

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate of $100 million
or more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action imposes
no enforceable duty on any state, local, or tribal governments or the
private sector.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it will
not have substantial direct effects on 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.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have Tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) because it will
not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the
relationship between the Federal government and the Indian Tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
government and Indian Tribes. It does not have substantial direct
effects on tribal government because EPA does not anticipate that PFAS
reporting will be conducted by Tribes so this rulemaking is not
expected to impose substantial direct compliance costs on Tribal
governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that EPA has reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per the definition of ``covered
regulatory action'' in section 2-202 of Executive Order 13045. This
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045, because it does not
concern an environmental health or safety risk. Since this action does
not concern human health, EPA's Policy on Children's Health also does
not apply.
    Although this action does not concern an environmental health or
safety risk, this reporting rule will aid in collecting information
regarding PFAS. This rule will be of use in identifying releases of
PFAS to which children may be exposed. EPA believes that the
information obtained as a result of this action could also be used by
the public, government agencies and others to identify potential
problems, set priorities, and take appropriate steps to reduce any
potential human health or environmental risks including those that may
disproportionately affect children.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution
or use of energy. Further,

we have concluded that this action is not likely to have any adverse
effect on the supply, distribution or use of energy.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. As such,
NTTAA section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272, does not apply to this action.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) directs
federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by
law, to make environmental justice part of their mission by identifying
and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and
activities on minority populations (people of color) and low-income
populations.
    The EPA believes that it is not practicable to assess whether the
human health or environmental conditions that exist prior to this
action result in disproportionate and adverse effects on people of
color, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples. This
regulatory action makes changes to the reporting requirements for PFAS
that will result in more information being collected and provided to
the public; it does not have any impact on human health or the
environment. This action does not address any human health or
environmental risks and does not affect the level of protection
provided to human health or the environment. This action makes changes
to the reporting requirements for PFAS, which will provide information
that government agencies and others can use to identify potential
problems, set priorities, and help inform activities.
    However, EPA believes that this type of action does not directly
concern human health or environmental conditions and therefore cannot
be evaluated with respect to potentially disproportionate and adverse
effects on people of color, low-income populations and/or indigenous
peoples. This action involves additions to reporting requirements that
will not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the
environment. Although this action does not concern human health or
environmental conditions, the information collected through TRI
reporting will serve to inform communities living near facilities that
report to TRI, and there is the potential for new information about
toxic chemical releases and waste management practices occurring in
those communities to become available through the TRI reporting data.
    The information obtained as a result of this action may be used to
collect information on releases of PFAS. Understanding releases of PFAS
will also help inform and tailor future EPA actions to address PFAS as
needed. EPA also believes that the information obtained as a result of
this action potentially could be used by the public (including people
of color, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples) to inform
their behavior as it relates to releases of PFAS exposure or by
government agencies and others to identify potential problems, set
priorities, and take appropriate steps to reduce any potential human
health or environmental risks.

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., and EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
(AHD) (Type Certificates Previously Held by Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm
(MBB), and Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH (ECD)) Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 77-04-06,
which applied to Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm (MBB) (now Airbus
Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD)) Model BO-105A and BO-105 C
helicopters; AD 2002-13-06, which applied to certain Eurocopter
Deutschland GmbH (ECD) (now Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD))
Model BO-105A, BO-105C, BO-105 C-2, BO-105 CB-2, BO-105 CB-4, BO-105
CS-2, BO-105 CBS-2, BO-105S, and BO-105LS A-1 helicopters; AD 2016-25-
14, which applied to certain Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD)
Model BO-105LS A-3 helicopters; and AD 2021-10-14, which applied to
certain Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model BO-105A, BO-
105C, BO-105S, and BO-105LS A-3 helicopters. Since the FAA issued those
ADs, new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations have been
issued. This AD requires incorporating into existing maintenance
records requirements (airworthiness limitations) as specified in a
European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated
by reference. This AD also prohibits the installation of certain part-
numbered tension-torsion (TT) straps. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 6, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 6,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 77-04-06, Amendment 39-2835 (42 FR 9670,
February 17, 1977; amended 44 FR 46783, August 9, 1979) (AD 77-04-06);
AD 2002-13-06, Amendment 39-12794 (67 FR 43526, June 28, 2002) (AD
2002-13-06); AD 2016-25-14, Amendment 39-18740 (81 FR 94944, December
27, 2016) (AD 2016-25-14); and AD 2021-10-14, Amendment 39-21547 (86 FR
27268, May 20, 2021) (AD 2021-10-14).
    AD 77-04-06 applied to Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm (MBB) Model BO-
105A and BO-105C helicopters. AD 77-04-06 was prompted by reports of
internal corrosion of the main rotor gearbox (MGB) supports, which
could significantly reduce the structural strength and service life.
After AD 77-

04-06 was issued, the FAA determined based on service experience and
additional test investigations the total hours time-in-service (TIS)
for certain part-numbered MGB supports could be increased. Accordingly,
the FAA amended AD 77-04-06 by issuing Amendment 39-3528 (44 FR 46783,
August 9, 1979), which increased the life limit for the MGB supports.
    AD 2002-13-06 applied to Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH (ECD) Model
BO-105A, BO-105C, BO-105 C-2, BO-105 CB-2, BO-105 CB-4, BO-105S, BO-105
CS-2, BO-105 CBS-2, BO-105 CBS-4, and BO-105LS A-1 helicopters, with
certain part-numbered main rotor (MR) head assemblies and certain part-
numbered TT straps installed. AD 2002-13-06 was prompted by an accident
in which an MR blade separated from a Eurocopter Model MBB-BK 117
helicopter due to fatigue failure of a TT strap; the same part-numbered
TT strap is used on Model BO-105 helicopters. AD 2002-13-06 was also
prompted by the determination that an additional life limit for certain
part-numbered TT straps needed to be established. AD 2002-13-06
required creating a component log card or equivalent record and
determining the calendar age, number of flights, and flight hours TIS
on certain part-numbered TT straps; removing and replacing certain TT
straps, and modifying certain MR heads before certain part-numbered TT
straps are installed. AD 2002-13-06 also required revising the
Airworthiness Limitations Schedule (ALS) of the existing maintenance
manual to reflect the new life limits.
    AD 2016-25-14 applied to Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD)
Model BO-105LS A-3 helicopters with certain part-numbered TT straps
installed. AD 2016-25-14 was prompted by the determination that life
limits have been introduced for certain part-numbered TT straps
installed on the helicopter lifting system, and during the revision of
the ALS for the existing Model BO-105LS A-3 maintenance manual, the
life limit for the TT strap was inadvertently deleted. AD 2016-25-14
required inspecting the helicopter records to determine the life limit
of the TT straps. Depending on the results, AD 2016-25-14 required
establishing a life limit if none exists; revising the ALS of the
existing maintenance manual, and creating a component history card or
equivalent record to reflect this life limit; and replacing certain TT
straps.
    AD 2021-10-14 applied to Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD)
Model BO-105A, BO-105C, BO-105S, and BO105LS A-3 helicopters equipped
with a certain TT strap. AD 2021-10-14 was prompted by the FAA's
determination that aging of the elastomeric material in a TT strap
could affect the structural characteristics of the TT strap. AD 2021-
10-14 required replacement of certain TT straps with serviceable parts
and implementation of a new storage life limit for TT straps.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 7, 2022 (87
FR 54636). The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD 2021-0142, dated June 17,
2021 (EASA AD 2021-0142), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe
condition for Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD), formerly
Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH, Eurocopter Hubschrauber Deutschland GmbH,
Messerschmitt-B[ouml]lkow-Blohm GmbH; Eurocopter Canada Ltd, formerly
Messerschmitt-B[ouml]lkow-Blohm Helicopter Canada Limited, Model BO105
A, BO105 C, BO105 D, BO105 S, BO105 LS A-1, and BO105 LS A-3
helicopters, all variants, all serial numbers, including BO105 LS A-3
helicopters modified in accordance with EASA Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) 10039633, or previously Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA)
Germany STC EMZ NR. 0654/3058 (commercially known as ``Superlifter'').
EASA AD 2021-0142 superseded a series of ADs to include EASA AD 2019-
0024, dated February 4, 2019 (which prompted AD 2021-10-14); EASA AD
2015-0042, dated March 9, 2015 (which prompted AD 2016-25-14); EASA AD
2013-0015, dated January 16, 2013; EASA AD 2010-0153, dated July 27,
2010; LBA Germany AD 2001-281, dated October 18, 2001 (which prompted
AD 2002-13-06); and LBA Germany AD 76-136/2, dated October 5, 1978
(which prompted AD 77-04-06).
    The NPRM proposed to require incorporating into existing
maintenance records new and more restrictive requirements
(airworthiness limitations), as specified in EASA AD 2021-0142. The
NPRM also proposed to prohibit the installation of certain part-
numbered TT straps. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
    Additionally, the actions required to address the unsafe conditions
in AD 77-04-06, AD 2002-13-06, AD 2016-25-14, and AD 2021-10-14 are
included in ``the applicable ALS,'' as defined in EASA AD 2021-0142.
Therefore, the FAA is superseding AD 77-04-06, AD 2002-13-06, AD 2016-
25-14, and AD 2021-10-14 in order to reduce the burden on operators by
requiring compliance with a single FAA AD in lieu of multiple FAA ADs.
    You may examine EASA AD 2021-0142 in the AD docket at
regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2022-1070.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments regarding the NPRM or on the
determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. 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 these helicopters. Except for minor editorial changes,
this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0142 requires replacing certain components before
exceeding their applicable life limit. EASA AD 2021-0142 also prohibits
installing Bendix TT-strap part number 2602559, 2606576, 2604067, or
117-14110, and requires revising the approved aircraft maintenance
program (AMP) by incorporating the limitations described in ``the
applicable ALS'' as defined in EASA AD 2021-0142.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters BO 105 Maintenance Manual (MM),
Revision 31, dated December 15, 2020, for Model BO-105A, BO-105C, BO-
105 D, BO-105S, and BO-105LS A-1 helicopters; Airbus Helicopters BO 105
LS A-3 MM, Revision 7, dated November 27, 2018, for Model BO-105 LS A-3
helicopters; and Airbus Helicopters MM BO 105 LS A-3 ``Super Lifter''
Appendix 010, Revision 4, dated March 28, 2019, for BO 105 LS A-3
``Superlifter'' helicopters.
    This service information specifies certain actions and associated
thresholds and intervals, including life limits and maintenance tasks.
These requirements (airworthiness limitations) include new life limits,
including cure dates and storage life limits, for certain part-numbered
TT straps.

ADs Mandating Airworthiness Limitations

    The FAA has previously mandated airworthiness limitations by
mandating each airworthiness limitation task (e.g., inspections and
replacements (life limits)) as an AD requirement or issuing ADs that
require revising the ALS of the existing maintenance manual or
instructions for continued airworthiness to incorporate new or revised
inspections and life limits. This AD, however, requires operators to
incorporate into maintenance records required by 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2) or
135.439(a)(2), as applicable for your helicopter, the requirements
(airworthiness limitations) specified in EASA AD 2021-0142. The FAA
does not intend this as a substantive change. For these ADs, the ALS
requirements for operators are the same but are complied with
differently. Requiring the incorporation of the new ALS requirements
into the maintenance records, rather than requiring individual ALS
tasks (e.g., repetitive inspections and replacements), requires
operators to record AD compliance once after updating the maintenance
records, rather than after every time the ALS task is completed.
    In addition, paragraph (h) of this AD allows operators to
incorporate later approved revisions of the ALS document as specified
in the ``Ref. Publications'' section of EASA AD 2021-0142 without the
need for an alternative method of compliance (AMOC).

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    This AD does not require compliance with paragraphs (3), (4), and
(5) of EASA AD 2021-0142.
    EASA AD 2021-0142 is applicable to Model BO-105D helicopters,
whereas this AD is not because Model BO-105D helicopters are not
certificated by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type
certificate data sheet. EASA AD 2021-0142 is applicable to Model BO-105
LS A-3 helicopters modified in accordance with EASA STC 10039633, or
previously LBA Germany STC EMZ NR. 0654/3058 (commercially known as
``Superlifter''), whereas this AD applies to Model BO-105 LS A-3
helicopters modified in accordance with STC SR00043RD.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 67 helicopters of U.S.
registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this AD.
    Incorporating requirements (airworthiness limitations) into
existing maintenance records takes about 2 work-hours for an estimated
cost of $170 per helicopter and $11,390 for the U.S. fleet.

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 has determined that 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.
