. AH also requests that the compliance time to incorporate S.B. 71-005 be extended from 25 hrs TIS to 18 calendar months. Why is the change requested or how is itjustified?

### any changes to the AD IfNO, we don't agree because The recurring 25 hour TIS inspection is considered an interim action. Interim action determinations are made regarding short-term actions until an effective modification or action is developed, approved, and available. The modification contained in Eurocopter SB 71-005 to cancel the recutTing inspection was developed and approved by the DGAC in May 2004. OurNPRM which proposed mandating the modification as a terminating action was published in June 2015. We cannot control the quantity ofproduction output; however, a substantive amount oftime has passed since the modification design approval and publication ofourNPRM proposing to mandate the modification as terminating action.
