existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 

2021–13–06, the FAA has determined 

that new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations are necessary. 

This AD continues to require the actions 

in AD 2021–13–06 and requires revising 

the existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

additional new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations, as specified 

in a European Union Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA) AD, which is 

incorporated by reference. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA AD 2021–0208, 

dated September 15, 2021 (EASA AD 

2021–0208) (also referred to as the 

MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Airbus SAS Model A350–941 and 

–1041 airplanes. 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2021–13–06, 

Amendment 39–21611 (86 FR 40934, 

July 30, 2021) (AD 2021–13–06). AD 

2021–13–06 applied to certain Airbus 

SAS Model A350–941 and –1041 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on February 9, 2022 

(87 FR 7397). The NPRM was prompted 

by a determination that new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations are 

necessary. The NPRM proposed to 

continue to require the actions in AD 

2021–13–06 and require revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

additional new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations, as specified 

in EASA AD 2021–0208. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address 

hazardous or catastrophic airplane 

system failures. See the MCAI for 

additional background information. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received a comment from 

the Air Line Pilots Association, 

International (ALPA) who supported the 

NPRM without change. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety requires 

adopting this AD as proposed. Except 

for minor editorial changes, this AD is 

adopted as proposed in the NPRM. 

None of the changes will increase the 

economic burden on any operator. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2021–0208 describes new 

or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations for airplane structures and 

safe life limits. 

This AD also requires EASA AD 

2020–0211, dated October 5, 2020, and 

EASA AD 2021–0026, dated January 20, 

2021, which the Director of the Federal 

Register approved for incorporation by 

reference as of September 3, 2021 (86 FR 

40934, July 30, 2021). 

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 27 airplanes of U.S. registry. The 

FAA estimates the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the retained actions from 

AD 2021–13–06 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.

14 CFR Part 97

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or removes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPS) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

procedures (ODPs) for operations at 

certain airports. These regulatory 

actions are needed because of the 

adoption of new or revised criteria, or 

because of changes occurring in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding new obstacles, or 

changing air traffic requirements. These 

changes are designed to provide safe 

and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace and to promote safe flight 

operations under instrument flight rules 

at the affected airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective May 16, 

2022. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of May 16, 

2022.
