AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for M7 

Aerospace LLC Models SA26–AT and 

SA26–T airplanes. This AD was 

prompted by reports of the airplane 

power lever linkage detaching from the 

TPE331 engine propeller pitch control 

(PPC) shaft. This AD requires 

repetitively inspecting the PPC for 

proper torque and making any necessary 

corrections until the replacement of the 

PPC assembly and the installation of a 

secondary retention feature (safety wire) 

are done. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: This AD is effective February 26, 

2021. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

(IBR) of a certain publication listed in 

this AD as of May 5, 2017 (82 FR 15982, 

March 31, 2017).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to M7 Aerospace LLC Models 

SA26–AT and SA26–T airplanes. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on October 14, 2020 (85 FR 

64993). The NPRM was prompted by 

reports of the airplane power lever 

linkage detaching from the TPE331 

engine PPC shaft. In the NPRM, the FAA 

proposed to require repetitively 

inspecting the PPC for proper torque 

and making any necessary corrections 

until the replacement of the PPC 

assembly and the installation of a 

secondary retention feature (safety wire) 

are done. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

prevent uncommanded change to the 

engine power settings with consequent 

loss of control. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received no comments on 

the NPRM or on the determination of 

the costs. 

Conclusion 

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 

products. This AD is adopted as 

proposed in the NPRM.

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.

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

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) regulations to reflect the 

imposition of import restrictions on 

certain archaeological and ethnological 

material from the Kingdom of Morocco 

(Morocco). These restrictions are being 

imposed pursuant to an agreement 

between the Government of the United 

States and the Government of Morocco 

that has been entered into under the 

authority of the Convention on Cultural 

Property Implementation Act. The final 

rule amends the CBP regulations by 

adding Morocco to the list of countries 

which have a bilateral agreement with 

the United States that imposes cultural 

property import restrictions. The final 

rule also contains the Designated List 

that describes the types of 

archaeological and ethnological material 

to which the restrictions apply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Convention on Cultural Property 

Implementation Act, Public Law 97– 

446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. (hereinafter, 

‘‘the Cultural Property Implementation 

Act’’), implements the 1970 United 

Nations Educational, Scientific and 

Cultural Organization (UNESCO) 

Convention on the Means of Prohibiting 

and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export 

and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural 

Property (823 U.N.T.S. 231 (1972)) 

(hereinafter, ‘‘the Convention’’). 

Pursuant to the Cultural Property 

Implementation Act, the Government of 

the United States entered into a bilateral 

agreement with the Government of the 

Kingdom of Morocco (Morocco) to 

impose import restrictions on certain 

archaeological and ethnological material 

from Morocco on January 14, 2021. This 

rule announces the imposition of import 

restrictions on certain archaeological 

and ethnological material from 

Morocco. 

Determinations 

Under 19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1), the 

United States must make certain 

determinations before entering into an 

agreement to impose import restrictions 

under 19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(2). On April 30, 

2020, the Assistant Secretary for 

Educational and Cultural Affairs, United 

States Department of State, after 

consultation with and recommendation 

by the Cultural Property Advisory 

Committee, made the determinations 

required under the statute with respect 

to certain archaeological and 

ethnological material from Morocco that 

is described in the Designated List set 

forth below in this document. These 

determinations include the following: 

(1) That Morocco’s cultural heritage is 

in jeopardy from pillage of certain types 

of archaeological material representing 

Morocco’s cultural heritage ranging in 

date from approximately 1 million B.C. 

to A.D. 1750 and certain types of 

ethnological material representing 

Morocco’s cultural heritage from the 

Saadian and Alaouite dynasties ranging 

in date from approximately A.D. 1549 to 

1912 (19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(A)); (2) that 

the Moroccan government has taken 

measures consistent with the 

Convention to protect its cultural 

patrimony (19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(B)); (3) 

that import restrictions imposed by the 

United States would be of substantial 

benefit in deterring a serious situation of 

pillage and remedies less drastic are not 

available (19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(C)); and 

(4) that the application of import 

restrictions as set forth in this final rule 

is consistent with the general interests 

of the international community in the
