Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 30, 2023 / Proposed Rules 59815 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

missing sealant on the rivets installed in the 

interface between rib 3 and the wing skin. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

lack of sealant on the rivets, which may 

result in a potential ignition source inside the 

fuel tank during a lightning strike when a 

failure on the rivet installation exists, which, 

combined with flammable fuel vapors, could 

result in a fuel tank explosion and 

consequent loss of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, Ageˆncia Nacional de

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault 

Aviation Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2023–04–18, which applies to all 

Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 

airplanes. AD 2023–04–18 requires 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations. Since the 

FAA issued AD 2023–04–18, the FAA 

has determined that new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations are 

necessary. This proposed AD would 

continue to require certain actions in 

AD 2023–04–18 and would require 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations, as specified 

in a European Union Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed 

for incorporation by reference (IBR). The 

FAA is proposing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by October 16, 

2023. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

regulations.gov. Follow the instructions 

for submitting comments.

actually treated as private by its owner. 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

contain commercial or financial 

information that is customarily treated 

as private, that you actually treat as 

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Tom Rodriguez, 

Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1600 

Stewart Avenue, Suite 410, Westbury, 

NY 11590; telephone 206–231–3226; 

email tom.rodriguez@faa.gov. Any 

commentary that the FAA receives that 

is not specifically designated as CBI will 

be placed in the public docket for this 

rulemaking. 

Background 

The FAA issued AD 2023–04–18, 

Amendment 39–22365 (88 FR 15607, 

March 14, 2023) (AD 2023–04–18), for 

all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 

2000 airplanes. AD 2023–04–18 was 

prompted by an MCAI originated by 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent for 

the Member States of the European 

Union. EASA issued AD 2022–0135, 

dated July 6, 2022 (EASA AD 2022– 

0135) (which corresponds to FAA AD 

2023–04–18), to correct an unsafe 

condition. 

AD 2023–04–18 requires revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations. The FAA issued AD 2023– 

04–18 to address reduced controllability 

of the airplane. AD 2023–04–18 

specifies that accomplishing the 

revision required by that AD terminates 

certain requirements of AD 2010–26–05, 

Amendment 39–16544 (75 FR 79952, 

December 21, 2010) (AD 2010–26–05) 

for Model FALCON 2000 airplanes only. 

This proposed AD would therefore 

continue to allow that terminating 

action. 

Actions Since AD 2023–04–18 Was 

Issued 

Since the FAA issued AD 2023–04– 

18, EASA superseded AD 2022–0135 

and issued EASA AD 2023–0099, dated 

May 11, 2023 (EASA AD 2023–0099) 

(referred to after this as the MCAI), for 

all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 

2000 airplanes. The MCAI states that 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations have been developed. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address reduced controllability of the 

airplane. You may examine the MCAI in 

the AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1804. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2023–0099 specifies new or 

more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations for airplane structures and 

safe life limits. 

This proposed AD would also require 

EASA AD 2022–0135, dated July 6, 

2022, which the Director of the Federal 

Register approved for incorporation by 

reference as of April 18, 2023 (88 FR 

15607, March 14, 2023). 

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 ADDRESSES. 

FAA’s Determination 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is approved for operation in 

the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA 

is issuing this NPRM after determining 

that the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

in other products of the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would retain 

certain requirements of AD 2023–04–18. 

This proposed AD would also require 

revising the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate additional new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations, 

which are specified in EASA AD 2023– 

0099 already described, as proposed for 

incorporation by reference. Any 

differences with EASA AD 2023–0099 

are identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this AD. 

This proposed AD would require 

revisions to certain operator 

maintenance documents to include new 

actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance 

with these actions is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired 

in the areas addressed by this proposed 

AD, the operator may not be able to 

accomplish the actions described in the 

revisions. In this situation, to comply 

with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator 

must request approval for an alternative 

method of compliance (AMOC) 

according to paragraph (n)(1) of this 

proposed AD. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has been coordinating 

this process with manufacturers and 

CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to 

retain the IBR of EASA AD 2022–0135 

and incorporate EASA AD 2023–0099 

by reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2023–0099 

and EASA AD 2022–0135 through that 

incorporation, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD. 

Using common terms that are the same 

as the heading of a particular section in 

EASA AD 2023–0099 or EASA AD 

2022–0135 does not mean that operators 

need comply only with that section. For 

example, where the AD requirement 

refers to ‘‘all required actions and 

compliance times,’’ compliance with 

this AD requirement is not limited to 

the section titled ‘‘Required Action(s) 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 30, 2023 / Proposed Rules 59817 

and Compliance Time(s)’’ in EASA AD 

2023–0099 or EASA AD 2022–0135. 

Service information required by EASA 

AD 2023–0099 and EASA AD 2022– 

0135 for compliance will be available at 

regulations.gov by searching for and 

locating Docket No. FAA–2023–1804 

after the FAA final rule is published. 

Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using 

the New Process 

The FAA’s process of incorporating 

by reference MCAI ADs as the primary 

source of information for compliance 

with corresponding FAA ADs has been 

limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily 

those with service bulletins as the 

primary source of information for 

accomplishing the actions required by 

the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now 

expanding the process to include MCAI 

ADs that require a change to 

airworthiness limitation documents, 

such as airworthiness limitation 

sections. 

For these ADs that incorporate by 

reference an MCAI AD that changes 

airworthiness limitations, the FAA 

requirements are unchanged. Operators 

must revise the existing maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate the information specified in 

the new airworthiness limitation 

document. The airworthiness 

limitations must be followed according 

to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e). 

The previous format of the 

airworthiness limitation ADs included a 

paragraph that specified that no 

alternative actions (e.g., inspections) or 

intervals may be used unless the actions 

and intervals are approved as an AMOC 

in accordance with the procedures 

specified in the AMOCs paragraph 

under ‘‘Additional AD Provisions.’’ This 

new format includes a ‘‘New Provisions 

for Alternative Actions and Intervals’’ 

paragraph that does not specifically 

refer to AMOCs, but operators may still 

request an AMOC to use an alternative 

action or interval. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 168 

airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA 

estimates the following costs to comply 

with this proposed AD: 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the retained actions from 

AD 2021–03–11 to be $7,650 (90 workhours × $85 per work-hour). 

The FAA has determined that revising 

the existing maintenance or inspection 

program takes an average of 90 workhours per operator, although the agency 

recognizes that this number may vary 

from operator to operator. Since 

operators incorporate maintenance or 

inspection program changes for their 

affected fleet(s), the FAA has 

determined that a per-operator estimate 

is more accurate than a per-airplane 

estimate. 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the new proposed actions to 

be $7,650 (90 work-hours × $85 per 

work-hour). 

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 determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

Safeguarding Advisory Client Assets; 

Reopening of Comment Period 

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is 

reopening the comment period for its 

proposal, Safeguarding Advisory Client 

Assets, Release No. IA–6240 (Feb. 15, 

2023) (‘‘Proposal’’), which proposed a 

new rule under the Investment Advisers 

Act of 1940 (‘‘Advisers Act’’ or ‘‘Act’’) 

that would redesignate and amend the 

current custody rule. In light of the 

adoption of the private fund adviser 

audit rule, which generally requires a 

registered investment adviser to obtain 

an annual financial statement audit of 

each private fund it advises in 

accordance with the audit provision of 

the current custody rule, reopening the 

comment period will allow interested 

persons additional time to assess the 

proposed amendments to the current 

custody rule’s audit provision in light of 

the private fund adviser audit rule. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule published in the Federal 

Register on March 9, 2023, at 88 FR
