(i) Additional AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, AIR–520, Continued 

Operational Safety Branch, FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested using the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, 

send your request to your principal inspector 

or responsible Flight Standards Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the manager of the Continued Operational 

Safety Branch, send it to the attention of the 

person identified in paragraph (j) of this AD 

and email to: AMOC@faa.gov. Before using 

any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate 

principal inspector, or lacking a principal 

inspector, the manager of the responsible 

Flight Standards Office. 

(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any 

requirement in this AD to obtain instructions 

from a manufacturer, the instructions must 

be accomplished using a method approved 

by the Manager, AIR–520, Continued 

Operational Safety Branch, FAA; or

Airworthiness Directives; ATR—GIE 

Avions de Transport Re ́gional 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2023–10–08, which applies to all ATR— 

GIE Avions de Transport Re ́gional 

Model ATR42–200, ATR42–300, and 

ATR42–320 airplanes. AD 2023–10–08 

requires revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations. 

Since the FAA issued AD 2023–10–08, 

the FAA has determined that new or 

more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations are necessary. This proposed 

AD would continue to require certain 

actions in AD 2023–10–08 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 March 31, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

Background 

The FAA issued AD 2023–10–08, 

Amendment 39–22444 (88 FR 36928, 

June 6, 2023) (AD 2023–10–08), for all 

ATR—GIE Avions de Transport 

Re ́gional Model ATR42–200, ATR42– 

300, and ATR42–320 airplanes. AD 

2023–10–08 was prompted by an MCAI 

originated by EASA, which is the 

Technical Agent for the Member States 

of the European Union. EASA issued 

AD 2022–0199, dated September 26, 

2022 (EASA AD 2022–0199) (which 

corresponds to FAA AD 2023–10–08), to 

correct an unsafe condition. 

AD 2023–10–08 requires revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

additional new or more restrictive 

maintenance requirements and 

airworthiness limitations. The FAA 

issued AD 2023–10–08 to prevent 

reduced structural integrity of the 

airplane. 

Actions Since AD 2023–10–08 Was 

Issued 

Since the FAA issued AD 2023–10– 

08, EASA superseded AD 2022–0199, 

dated September 26, 2022, and issued 

EASA AD 2024–0121, dated June 27, 

2024 (EASA AD 2024–0121) (referred to 

after this as the MCAI), for all ATR—GIE 

Avions de Transport Re ́gional Model 

ATR42–200, ATR42–300, and ATR42– 

320 airplanes. The MCAI states that new 

or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations have been developed. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

prevent reduced structural integrity of 

the airplane. You may examine the 

MCAI in the AD docket at 

regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 

2025–0201. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2024– 

0121. This material specifies new or 

more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations for airplane structures and 

safe life limits. 

This proposed AD would also require 

EASA AD 2022–0199, which the 

Director of the Federal Register 

approved for incorporation by reference 

as of July 11, 2023 (88 FR 36928, June 

6, 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 the ADDRESSES section. 

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 2023–10–08. 

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 2024– 

0121 already described, as proposed for 

incorporation by reference. Any 

differences with EASA AD 2024–0121 

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) and Critical 

Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with 

these actions and CDCCLs 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 (m)(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 2022–0199 

and incorporate EASA AD 2024–0121 

by reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2022–0199 

and EASA AD 2024–0121 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 2022–0199 or EASA AD 

2024–0121 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 proposed AD requirement is not 

limited to the section titled ‘‘Required 

Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)’’ in 

EASA AD 2022–0199 or EASA AD 

2024–0121. Material required by EASA 

AD 2022–0199 and EASA AD 2024– 

0121 for compliance will be available at 

regulations.gov by searching for and 

locating Docket No. FAA–2025–0201 

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, 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 29 / Thursday, February 13, 2025 / Proposed Rules 9531 

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), 

intervals, or CDCCLs may be used 

unless the actions, intervals, and 

CDCCLs 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, Intervals, and 

CDCCLs’’ paragraph that does not 

specifically refer to AMOCs, but 

operators may still request an AMOC to 

use an alternative action, interval, or 

CDCCL. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 22 

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 2023–10–08 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety.
