System Safety Assessments 
AGENCY : Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA), DOT. 
ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM); extension of comment period. 
SUMMARY : This action extends the 
comment period for the NPRM titled 
‘‘System Safety Assessments,’’ that was published on December 8, 2022. In that document, the FAA proposed to amend certain airworthiness regulations to standardize the criteria for conducting safety assessments for systems, including flight controls and powerplants, installed on transport category airplanes. With this action, the FAA seeks to reduce risk associated with airplane accidents and incidents that have occurred in service, and reduce risk associated with new technology in flight control systems. The intended effect of this proposed action is to improve aviation safety by making system safety assessment (SSA) certification requirements more comprehensive and consistent. The FAA is extending the comment period closing date to allow commenters additional time to analyze the proposed rule and prepare a response. 
DATES : The comment period for the 
NPRM published on December 8, 2022, at 87 FR 75424, and scheduled to close on March 8, 2023, is extended until April 24, 2023. 
ADDRESSES : Send comments identified 
by docket number FAA–2022–1544 using any of the following methods:
