SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-630, OMB Control No. 3235-0689]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 203A-2(d)

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collections of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    The title of the collection of information is: ``Exemption for
Certain Multi-State Investment Advisers (Rule 203A-2(d)).'' Its
currently approved OMB control number is 3235-0689. 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.
    Pursuant to section 203A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940
(the ``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80b-3a), an investment adviser that is
regulated or required to be regulated as an investment adviser in the
state in which it maintains its principal office and place of business
is prohibited from registering with the Commission unless that adviser
has at least $25 million in assets under management or advises a
Commission-registered investment company. Section 203A also prohibits
from Commission registration an adviser that: (i) has assets under
management between $25 million and $100 million; (ii) is required to be
registered as an investment adviser with the state in which it
maintains its principal office and place of business; and (iii) if
registered, would be subject to examination as an adviser by that state
(a ``mid-sized adviser''). A mid-sized adviser that otherwise would be
prohibited may register with the Commission if it would be required to
register with 15 or more states. Similarly, Rule 203A-2(d) under the
Act (17 CFR 275.203a-2(d)) provides that the prohibition on
registration with the Commission does not apply to an investment
adviser that is required to register in 15 or more states. An
investment adviser relying on this exemption also must: (i) include a
representation on Schedule D of Form ADV that the investment adviser
has concluded that it must register as an investment adviser with the
required number of states; (ii) undertake to withdraw from registration
with the Commission if the adviser indicates on an annual updating
amendment to Form ADV that it would be required by the laws of fewer
than 15 states to register as an investment adviser with the state; and
(iii) maintain in an easily accessible place a record of the states in
which the investment adviser has determined it would, but for the
exemption, be required to register for a period of not less than five
years from the filing of a Form ADV relying on the rule.
    Respondents to this collection of information are investment
advisers required to register in 15 or more states absent the exemption
that rely on rule 203A-2(d) to register with the Commission. The
information collected under rule 203A-2(d) permits the Commission's
examination staff to determine an adviser's eligibility for
registration with the Commission under this exemptive rule and is also
necessary for the Commission staff to use in its examination and
oversight program. This collection of information is codified at 17 CFR
275.203a-2(d) and is mandatory to qualify for and maintain Commission
registration eligibility under rule 203A-2(d). Responses to the
recordkeeping requirements under rule 203A-2(d) in the context of the
Commission's examination and oversight program are generally kept
confidential.
    The estimated number of investment advisers subject to the
collection of information requirements under the rule is 110. These
advisers will incur an average one-time initial burden of approximately
8 hours, and an average ongoing burden of approximately 8 hours per
year, to keep records sufficient to demonstrate that they meet the 15-
state threshold. These estimates are based on an estimate that each
year an investment adviser will spend approximately 0.5 hours creating
a record of its determination whether it must register as an investment
adviser with each of the 15 states required to rely on the exemption,
and approximately 0.5 hours to maintain these records. Accordingly, we
estimate that rule 203A-2(d) results in an annual aggregate burden of
collection for SEC-registered investment advisers of a total of 880
hours. Estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted by May 26, 2023.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Acting
Director/Chief

Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Eurocopter France) Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2003-25-01
which applied to certain Eurocopter France (now Airbus Helicopters)
Models AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, AS332L1, AS350B, AS350BA, AS350B1,
AS350B2, AS350B3, AS350D, AS355E, AS355F, AS355F1, AS355F2, and AS355N
helicopters. AD 2003-25-01 required modifying and re-identifying the
hoist operator control unit and replacing certain fuses. This AD was
prompted by the identification of multiple errors in the applicable
service information for the AS350-series and AS355-series helicopters
and of other needed changes. This AD retains certain requirements of AD
2003-25-01, revises the applicability, and requires using corrected
service information. This AD also requires reporting certain
information and prohibits the installation of an affected hoist until
the required actions are accomplished. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 19, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 19,
2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2003-25-01, Amendment 39-13384 (68 FR
69596, December 15, 2003) (AD 2003-25-01), for Eurocopter France (now
Airbus Helicopters) Model AS332C, C1, L, and L1, AS350B, BA, B1, B2,
B3, and D, and AS355E, F, F1, F2, and N helicopters with a Breeze 300
pound electric hoist (hoist) and hoist operator control unit 26M part
number (P/N) 350A63-1136-00 or 350A63-1136-01, and hoist electric box
91M P/N 332A67-2875-00, installed. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on April 28, 2021 (86 FR 22363). In the NPRM, the FAA proposed
to require modifying and re-identifying the hoist operator control
unit, replacing the fuses, and performing a functional test of the
hoist operation and the emergency jettison controls. The NPRM also
proposed to require reporting certain information and prohibit the
installation of an affected hoist until the required actions are
accomplished.
    The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD 2019-0228, dated September 12,
2019 (EASA AD 2019-0228) to supersede DGAC AD 2002-585(A), dated
November 27, 2002 (DGAC AD 2002-585(A)), issued by DGAC, which is the
aviation authority for France. EASA, which is the Technical Agent for
the Member States of the European Union, issued EASA AD 2019-0228 to
correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters (AH), formerly
Eurocopter, Eurocopter France, Aerospatiale Model AS 350 B, AS 350 BA,
AS 350 BB, AS 350 B1, AS 350 B2, AS 350 B3, AS 350 D, AS 355 E, AS 355
F, AS 355 F1, AS 355 F2, and AS 355 N helicopters. EASA advises that
Airbus Helicopters identified translation errors in the service
information required for compliance by DGAC AD 2002-585(A). Airbus
Helicopters was also informed that there could be helicopters modified
by that service information with incorrect installations. Prompted by
these findings, Airbus Helicopters revised the related service
information. Therefore, EASA issued EASA AD 2019-0228 to require
modifying and re-identifying the hoist operator control unit, replacing
the fuses, and performing a functional test of the hoist operation and
the emergency jettison controls as intended by DGAC AD 2002-585(A) with
the revised service information. EASA AD 2019-0228 also requires
reporting certain information to Airbus Helicopters and prohibits the
installation of an affected part on any helicopter unless it has been
modified.
    The NPRM also retains the requirements from AD 2003-25-01 for Model
AS332C, C1, L, and L1 helicopters with a certain hoist and hoist box
installed, based on DGAC AD 2002-584(A), dated November 27, 2002.
    Additionally, since the FAA issued AD 2003-25-01, the FAA
discovered that the applicability needed to be revised. This AD revises
the applicability by distinguishing the hoist box installations by P/N,
clarifying that Airbus Helicopters service information refers to a
hoist box as a hoist operator's control unit, adding TRW, Lucas, and
Air Equipement hoists for affected Model AS350-series and AS355-series
helicopters, and adding an exception for affected helicopters to
exclude those with a certain modification (MOD) installed.

    Lastly, since the FAA issued AD 2003-25-01, Eurocopter France
changed its name to Airbus Helicopters. This AD reflects that change
and updates the contact information to obtain service documentation.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the costs.

Conclusion

    These helicopters have been approved by both the authority of
France and EASA and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with France and the European
Union, DGAC and EASA have notified the FAA about the unsafe condition
described in the ADs issued by each authority. 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. With the exception of the minor
editorial change of adding, ``With a'' in paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this
AD, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
No. 25.00.71, Revision 2, dated May 14, 2019 (ASB 25.00.71 Rev 2),
Airbus Helicopters ASB No. 25.00.79, Revision 3, dated September 24,
2019 (ASB 25.00.79 Rev 3), and Eurocopter ASB No. 25.01.18, dated
November 12, 2002 (ASB 25.01.18). ASB 25.00.71 Rev 2 applies to Model
AS355-series helicopters, ASB 25.00.79 Rev 3 applies to Model AS350-
series helicopters, and ASB 25.01.18 applies to Model AS332-series
helicopters. ASB 25.00.71 Rev 2 and ASB 25.00.79 Rev 3 specify
procedures to install MOD 07 3190, which consists of eliminating
resistor 27M in the hoist operator's control unit 26M and replacing the
2.5A quick-response fuses on the Honeywell unit at 30 alpha or 21 delta
for Model AS350-series helicopters or on the distribution panel 10
alpha for Model 355-series helicopters. ASB 25.00.71 Rev 2 and ASB
25.00.79 Rev 3 also specify reporting certain information to Airbus
Helicopters. ASB 25.01.18 specifies procedures to install MOD 332PCS 78
288, which consists of eliminating resistor 81M in hoist box 91M and
re-identifying the hoist box as 332P67-2894-01, -02, -03, or -04,
depending on which electrical wiring assembly is installed in the
helicopter.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA also reviewed Airbus Helicopters ASB No. 25.00.71, Revision
1, dated May 21, 2014 (ASB 25.00.71 Rev 1), and ASB No. 25.00.79,
Revision 1, dated May 21, 2014 (ASB 25.00.79 Rev 1) and Revision 2 (ASB
25.00.79 Rev 2), dated May 14, 2019.
    ASB 25.00.71 Rev 1 specifies the same actions as ASB 25.00.71 Rev
2, except ASB 25.00.71 Rev 2 provides a reminder that MOD 07 3190 is
mandatory and adds a reporting response form. ASB 25.00.79 Rev 1 and
ASB 25.00.79 Rev 2 specify the same actions as ASB 25.00.79 Rev 3,
except ASB 25.00.79 Rev 2 provides a reminder that MOD 07 3190 is
mandatory and adds a reporting response form and ASB 25.00.79 Rev 3
adds Model AS350L1 to the effectivity.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2019-0228 applies to Model AS350BB helicopters, whereas
this AD does not because that model is not FAA type-certificated. EASA
AD 2019-0228 requires modifying affected parts within 100 flight hours
or 2 months, whichever occurs first, whereas this AD requires these
actions before next flight involving a hoist operation for Model AS350-
series and AS355-series helicopters instead.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects up to 977 helicopters of
U.S. Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this AD.
    Modifying and re-identifying the hoist operator control unit,
replacing the fuses, and functionally testing the hoist operation and
the emergency jettison controls takes about 4 work hours and parts cost
about $20 for an estimated cost of $360 per helicopter and up to
$351,720 for the U.S. fleet.
    For Model AS350-series and AS355-series helicopters, reporting
information takes about 1 work-hour for an estimated cost of $85 per
helicopter and up to $82,195 for the U.S. fleet.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public
reporting for this collection of information is estimated to take
approximately 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. All responses to this collection of
information are mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood
Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

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.
