6404 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

The DHS/CBP–014 RAAS System of 

Records contains information that is 

collected by, on behalf of, in support of, 

or in cooperation with DHS and its 

Components and may contain 

personally identifiable information 

collected by other federal, state, local, 

tribal, foreign, or international 

government agencies. The Secretary of 

Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), has exempted this 

system from the following provisions of 

the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3). 

Exemptions from these particular 

subsections are justified, on a case-bycase basis to be determined at the time 

a request is made, for the following 

reasons: 

(a) From subsection (c)(3) (Accounting 

for Disclosures) because release of the 

accounting of disclosures could alert the 

subject of an investigation of an actual 

or potential criminal, civil, or regulatory 

violation to the existence of that 

investigation and reveal investigative 

interest on the part of DHS as well as 

the recipient agency. Disclosure of the 

accounting would therefore present a 

serious impediment to law enforcement 

efforts and/or efforts to preserve 

national security. Disclosure of the 

accounting would also permit the 

individual who is the subject of a record 

to impede the investigation, to tamper 

with witnesses or evidence, and to 

avoid detection or apprehension, which 

would undermine the entire 

investigative process. 

(b) [Reserved]

Company, Hawker Beechcraft 

Corporation, and Beechcraft 

Corporation) Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Textron Aviation Inc. (type certificate 

previously held by Raytheon Aircraft 

Company, Hawker Beechcraft 

Corporation, and Beechcraft 

Corporation) (Textron) Model 300, 

300LW, B300, and B300C airplanes. 

This AD was prompted by a report of a 

timing issue where the yaw servo 

software can generate a motor position 

fault when the pilot applies rudder 

input at the same time the rudder boost 

system is activated, which disables the 

rudder boost function and leads to a 

reduced ability of the flight crew to 

maintain the safe flight and landing of 

the airplane or loss of control of the 

airplane. This AD requires updating the 

software version of the yaw servo. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective February 22, 

2022. 

The FAA must receive comments on 

this AD by March 21, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Garmin informed the FAA of a 

problem during flight testing with the 

Garmin International, Inc., G1000 

integrated avionics system installed on 

Textron Model 300, 300LW, B300, and 

B300C airplanes in accordance with 

Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) 

No. SA01535WI–D. A timing issue in 

the yaw servo software can generate a 

motor position fault when the pilot 

applies rudder input at the same time 

the rudder boost system is activated, 

which disables the rudder boost 

function. 

The rudder boost system applies 

additional rudder force, using the GSA 

9000 yaw servo, following loss of an 

engine or significant loss of thrust, 

which limits the rudder force required 

to maintain directional control of the 

airplane. Loss of the rudder boost 

system without warning before the 

moment rudder boost is needed could 

result in the inability of the flight crew 

to maintain the safe flight and landing 

of the airplane or loss of control of the 

airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

FAA’s Determination 

The FAA is issuing this AD because 

the agency has determined the unsafe 

condition described previously is likely 

to exist or develop in other products of 

the same type design. 

Related Service Information 

The FAA reviewed Garmin STC 

Service Bulletin No. 21120, Revision A, 

dated December 10, 2021. This service 

information specifies updating the 

software version of the GSA 9000 yaw 

servo to version 2.14. 

The FAA also reviewed Garmin 

Service Alert No. 21119, Revision A, 

dated November 18, 2021; and Garmin 

Service Alert No. 21119, Revision B, 

dated December 10, 2021. Revision A of 

this service information advises owners 

and operators of the unsafe condition 

previously described, while Revision B 

identifies the resolution by complying 

with Garmin STC Service Bulletin No. 

21120, Revision A, dated December 10, 

2021.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 6405 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires updating the GSA 

9000 yaw servo software to a version 

that is not 2.13 or earlier. 

Justification for Immediate Adoption 

and Determination of the Effective Date 

Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies 

to dispense with notice and comment 

procedures for rules when the agency, 

for ‘‘good cause,’’ finds that those 

procedures are ‘‘impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ Under this section, an agency, 

upon finding good cause, may issue a 

final rule without providing notice and 

seeking comment prior to issuance. 

Further, section 553(d) of the APA 

authorizes agencies to make rules 

effective in less than thirty days, upon 

a finding of good cause. 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD without providing an opportunity 

for public comments prior to adoption. 

The FAA has found that the risk to the 

flying public justifies foregoing notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because loss of rudder boost 

following an engine loss or significant 

loss of thrust is likely to occur. This 

could result in the inability of the flight 

crew to maintain the safe flight and 

landing of the airplane and loss of 

control of the airplane. Many of the 

affected airplanes operate more than 800 

flight hours annually. Because of the 

nature of the unsafe condition and the 

utilization rate of these airplanes, the 

corrective actions to mitigate this unsafe 

condition must be done within 100 

flight hours or 3 months, whichever 

occurs first after the effective date of 

this AD. Accordingly, notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

are impracticable and contrary to the 

public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B). 

In addition, the FAA finds that good 

cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) 

for making this amendment effective in 

less than 30 days, for the same reasons 

the FAA found good cause to forego 

notice and comment. 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this final rule. Send your comments to 

an address listed under ADDRESSES. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2022–0088 

and Project Identifier AD–2022–00041– 

A’’ at the beginning of your comments. 

The most helpful comments reference a 

specific portion of the final rule, explain 

the reason for any recommended 

change, and include supporting data. 

The FAA will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this final rule because of those 

comments. 

Except for Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) as described in the 

following paragraph, and other 

information as described in 14 CFR 

11.35, the FAA will post all comments 

received, without change, to https://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. The 

agency will also post a report 

summarizing each substantive verbal 

contact received about this final rule. 

Confidential Business Information 

CBI is commercial or financial 

information that is both customarily and 

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 AD 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 AD, 

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 AD. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Phil Petty, Aviation 

Safety Engineer, Wichita ACO Branch, 

FAA, 1801 Airport Road, Wichita, KS 

67209. Any commentary that the FAA 

receives which is not specifically 

designated as CBI will be placed in the 

public docket for this rulemaking. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) do not apply when 

an agency finds good cause pursuant to 

5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without 

prior notice and comment. Because FAA 

has determined that it has good cause to 

adopt this rule without prior notice and 

comment, RFA analysis is not required. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 300 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

airplane 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Update yaw servo software ........................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ............... Not Applicable .. $85 $25,500 

The FAA has included all known 

costs in its cost estimate. According to 

the manufacturer, however, some of the 

costs of this AD may be covered under 

warranty, thereby reducing the cost 

impact on affected operators. 

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, 

and 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
