17 ‘‘Re-Age’’ means returning a past due account 

to current status without collecting the total amount 

of principal, interest, and fees that are contractually 

due. 

18There may be instances where a workout loan 

is not a TDR even though the borrower is 

experiencing financial hardship. For example, a 

workout loan would not be a TDR if the fair value 

of cash or other assets accepted by a credit union 

from a borrower in full satisfaction of its receivable 

is at least equal to the credit union’s recorded 

investment in the loan, e.g., due to charge-offs. 

‘‘Workout Loan’’ means a loan to a 

borrower in financial difficulty that has been 

formally restructured so as to be reasonably 

assured of repayment (of principal and 

interest) and of performance according to its 

restructured terms. A workout loan typically 

involves a re-aging, extension, deferral, 

renewal, or rewrite of a loan.17 For purposes 

of this policy statement, workouts do not 

include loans made to market rates and terms 

such as refinances, borrower retention 

actions, or new loans.18

‘‘Extension’’ means extending monthly 

payments on a closed-end loan and rolling 

back the maturity by the number of months 

extended. The account is shown current 

upon granting the extension. If extension fees 

are assessed, they must be collected at the 

time of the extension and not added to the 

balance of the loan. 

‘‘Deferral’’ means deferring a contractually 

due payment on a closed-end loan without 

affecting the other terms, including maturity, 

of the loan. The account is shown current 

upon granting the deferral. 

‘‘Renewal’’ means underwriting a matured, 

closed-end loan generally at its outstanding 

principal amount and on similar terms. 

‘‘Rewrite’’ means significantly changing the 

terms of an existing loan, including payment 

amounts, interest rates, amortization 

schedules, or its final maturity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2020– 

0097R1, dated May 28, 2020 (EASA AD 

2020–0097R1) (also referred to as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or the MCAI), to correct an 

unsafe condition for certain ATR–GIE 

Avions de Transport Re ́gional Model 

ATR42–300, –320, –400, and –500 

airplanes; and all Model ATR72–101, 

–102, –201, –202, –211, –212, and 

–212A airplanes. Model ATR42–400 

airplanes are not certificated by the FAA 

and are not included on the U.S. type 

certificate data sheet; this AD therefore 

does not include those airplanes in the 

applicability. 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain ATR–GIE Avions de 

Transport Re ́gional Model ATR42–300, 

–320, and –500 airplanes; and all Model 

ATR72–101, –102, –201, –202, –211, 

–212, and –212A airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 9, 2020 (85 FR 55619). The 

NPRM was prompted by reports of 

defective seat tracks. The NPRM 

proposed to require a detailed visual 

inspection of each affected part for 

deficiencies (sealant blockage and out of 

tolerance ligaments), and depending on 

findings, accomplishment of applicable 

corrective actions, as specified in EASA 

AD 2020–0097R1. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address 

a structural failure of the seat track 

attachment during an emergency 

landing, possibly resulting in injury to 

occupants, and affecting emergency 

evacuation. See the MCAI for additional 

background information. 

Comments 

The FAA gave the public the 

opportunity to participate in developing 

this final rule. The FAA received no 

comments on the NPRM or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data 

and determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this 

final rule as proposed, except for minor 

editorial changes. The FAA has 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

addressing the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2020–0097R1 specifies 

procedures for a detailed visual 

inspection of each affected seat track for 

deficiencies (sealant blockage and out of

tolerance ligaments), and corrective 

actions if necessary. Corrective actions 

include replacement of seat track 

sections, and replacement of the entire 

seat track. 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 59 airplanes of U.S. registry. The 

FAA estimates the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Up to 28 work-hours × $85 per hour = Up to $2,380 .............. $0 Up to $2,380 ........................... Up to $140,420. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary on-condition 

replacements that would be required 

based on the results of any required 

actions. The FAA has no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these on-condition 

replacements: 

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

172 work-hours × $85 per hour = $14,620 ............................................................................................................. (*) $14,620 

* The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable us to provide parts cost estimates for the on-condition replacements specified in 

this AD. 

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, 

(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 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
