outputs on aircraft positions. This 

proposed AD would require replacing 

affected GPS SBAS receivers with new, 

improved receivers, as specified in a 

European Union Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) AD, which is proposed for 

incorporation by reference. The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products.

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2021–0013, 

dated January 13, 2021 (EASA AD 

2021–0013) (also referred to as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or the MCAI), to correct an 

unsafe condition for all ATR–GIE 

Avions de Transport Re ́gional Model 

ATR42–500 and ATR72–212A 

airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

reports indicating that Thales GPS 

SBAS receivers provided, under certain 

conditions, erroneous outputs on 

aircraft positions. The manufacturer 

developed a new, improved receiver 

which incorporates improved software 

and ensures correct navigational 

performance. The FAA is proposing this 

AD to address erroneous aircraft 

position outputs from the GPS SBAS 

receivers, which could result in 

controlled flight into terrain, and 

consequent loss of control of the 

airplane. 

Although paragraphs (2) and (3) of 

EASA AD 2021–0013 require amending 

the applicable AFM, the FAA has 

determined that this requirement is not 

necessary. The FAA received 

verification from the manufacturer that 

the unsafe condition in this proposed 

AD will be addressed by replacing the 

GPS SBAS receivers with new, 

improved receivers. However, the GPS 

procedures added to the AFM as 

required by AD 2020–08–02, 

Amendment 39–21108 (85 FR 20586, 

April 14, 2020) (AD 2020–08–02), must 

be removed, as specified in paragraph 

(h)(2) of this proposed AD. 

See the MCAI for additional 

background information. 

Related AD 

AD 2020–08–02 applies to certain 

Thales GPS SBAS receivers installed on 

airplanes (including Model ATR42–500 

and ATR72–212A) and helicopters. AD 

2020–08–02 requires the installation of 

a software update to the aircraft 

navigation database and insertion of a 

change to the applicable airplane flight 

manual (AFM). The FAA issued AD 

2020–08–02 to address erroneous 

aircraft position outputs from the 

affected Thales GPS SBAS receivers, 

which could result in controlled flight 

into terrain and loss of the aircraft. AD 

2020–08–02 corresponds to EASA AD 

2019–0004, dated January 11, 2019. 

Upon completion of EASA AD 2021– 

0013 by Model ATR42–500 and ATR72– 

212A airplanes, all requirements of 

EASA 2019–0004 are effectively 

terminated for those airplanes. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2021–0013 describes 

procedures for replacing certain GPS 

SBAS receivers with new, improved 

receivers. 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 and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

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 the State 

of Design Authority, the FAA has been 

notified of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI referenced 

above. The FAA is proposing this AD 

because the FAA evaluated all the 

relevant information and determined 

the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

in other products of the same type 

design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

EASA AD 2021–0013 described 

previously, as incorporated by 

reference, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this AD, and except as 

discussed under ‘‘Difference Between 

this Proposed AD and the MCAI.’’ 

Accomplishment of the requirements of 

this AD would terminate all 

requirements of AD 2020–08–02 for 

Model ATR42–500 and ATR72–212A 

airplanes. 

Difference Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI 

Although certain service information 

specified in EASA AD 2021–0013 

specifies the inclusion of MOD 10046 in 

the AFM List of Modifications (LOM), 

this proposed AD does not include this 

requirement. Instead, after 

accomplishment of the actions in this 

proposed AD, operators would be 

required to remove the AFM revisions 

for the GPS reset procedures that are 

required by FAA AD 2020–08–02, 

because the unsafe condition in this 

proposed AD will be addressed by the 

GPS SBAS receiver replacement. This 

difference has been coordinated with 

ATR and EASA. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA initially worked with 

Airbus and EASA to develop a process 

to use certain EASA ADs as the primary 

source of information for compliance 

with requirements for corresponding 

FAA ADs. The FAA has since 

coordinated with other manufacturers 

and civil aviation authorities (CAAs) to 

use this process. As a result, EASA AD 

2021–0013 will be incorporated by 

reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2021–0013 

in its entirety, 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 

the EASA AD 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) and Compliance 

Time(s)’’ in the EASA AD. Service 

information specified in EASA AD 

2021–0013 that is required for 

compliance with EASA AD 2021–0013 

will be available on the internet at 

https://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0548 after the FAA final 

rule is published. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD affects 15 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this proposed AD: 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 127 / Wednesday, July 7, 2021 / Proposed Rules 35699 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 .......................................................................................... $0 * $170 $2,550 

* The manufacturer will provide replacement receivers at no cost to the operators. The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base 

the cost estimates for these parts. 

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. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

America Code 34, Navigation. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by reports that 

Thales global positioning system (GPS) 

satellite based augmentation system (SBAS) 

receivers provided, under certain conditions, 

erroneous outputs on aircraft positions. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

potential for these erroneous outputs, which 

could result in controlled flight into terrain, 

and consequent loss of control 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, European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2021–0013, dated

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2021–0013 

(1) Where EASA AD 2021–0013 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) The requirements specified in 

paragraphs (2) and (3) of EASA AD 2021– 

0013 do not apply to this AD. Instead, the 

AFM changes required by AD 2020–08–02 

must be removed from the existing AFM 

before further flight after compliance with all 

other actions required by this AD. 

(3) The ‘‘Remarks’’ section of EASA AD 

2021–0013 does not apply to this AD. 

(i) Terminating Action for AD 2020–08–02 

Accomplishment of this AD terminates all 

requirements of AD 2020–08–02 for Model 

ATR42–500 and ATR72–212A airplanes.

Automatic Identification System 

Channels 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, a Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) adopted 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission) fulfils the 

Commission’s statutory duty pursuant 

to Section 8416 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, 

which directs the Commission to 

initiate a rulemaking proceeding by June 

30, 2021 to consider whether to 

authorize devices used to mark fishing 

equipment for use on Automatic 

Identification System (AIS) channels. 

This document seeks comment on the 

extent to which the 1900–2000 kHz 

band is used to support fishing 

operations, the extent of unauthorized 

deployment of devices used to mark 

fishing equipment using AIS technology 

on AIS channels, and whether to 

authorize devices used to mark fishing 

equipment for use on current AIS 

channels. In addition, the NPRM 

explores whether 160.900 MHz is a 

viable alternative for devices used to 

mark fishing equipment. In the event 

the Commission were to authorize 

devices used to mark fishing equipment 

to use AIS channels or 160.900 MHz, 

the NPRM seeks comment on whether 

there are technical and operational 

constraints that could be imposed to 

maintain maritime safety and protect 

incumbents. Finally, the NPRM seeks 

comment on a consumer labeling 

approach for authorized equipment to 

provide consumers guidance on 

whether the equipment being purchased 

complies with both the Coast Guard’s 

and the Commission’s rules. 

DATES: Interested parties may filed
