AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for 

certain Airbus Helicopters Model 

AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, AS332L1 

and AS332L2 helicopters. This 

proposed AD was prompted by reports 

of a crack in the front upper hoist 

attachment fitting. This proposed AD 

would require inspecting each affected 

hoist attachment fitting (fitting) and 

depending on the results, removing any 

cracked fitting from service and 

reporting information. This proposed 

AD also prohibits installing an affected 

fitting unless the required actions are 

accomplished, 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.

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Emergency AD 

2022–0016–E, dated January 26, 2022 

(EASA AD 2022–0016–E), to correct an 

unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters 

(AH), formerly Eurocopter, Eurocopter 

France, Aerospatiale, Model AS 332 C, 

AS 332 C1, AS 332 L, AS 332 L1, and 

AS 332 L2 helicopters, equipped with 

front upper fitting manufacturer part 

number (MP/N) 332A87–1116–21, rear 

upper fitting MP/N 332A87–1117–20, or 

lower fitting MP/N 332A87–1176–20. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

an occurrence of a front upper fitting 

crack reported on a helicopter equipped 

with a double hoist design, installed per 

a supplemental type certificate (STC). 

The STC has not been validated by the 

FAA; however, the FAA is proposing 

this AD because other hoists may have 

design similarities with the affected 

fitting installed. The FAA is proposing 

this AD to detect and address this 

unsafe condition, which if not 

corrected, could affect the structural 

integrity of a fitting, possibly leading to 

an in-flight detachment of the hoist 

support, and consequent damage to the 

helicopter or injury to a person being 

lifted. EASA considers its AD to be an 

interim action and further AD action 

may follow. See EASA AD 2022–0016– 

E for additional background 

information. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2022–0016–E requires a 

one-time inspection of the front upper 

fitting MP/N 332A87–1116–21, rear 

upper fitting MP/N 332A87–1117–20, 

and lower fitting MP/N 332A87–1176– 

20 for a crack. If there is a crack, EASA 

AD 2022–0016–E requires replacing the 

affected fitting. EASA AD 2022–0016–E 

also prohibits installing an affected 

fitting on any helicopter unless it passes 

the required inspection. 

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. 

Other Related Service Information 

The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters 

Emergency Alert Service Bulletin 

25.03.95, Revision 0, dated January 25, 

2022. This service information specifies 

procedures for inspecting and replacing 

an affected fitting. This service 

information also specifies reporting 

certain information to Airbus 

Helicopters, and for a cracked fitting, 

returning the fitting to Airbus 

Helicopters. 

FAA’s Determination 

These helicopters have been approved 

by EASA and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with the 

European Union, EASA has notified the 

FAA about the unsafe condition 

described in its AD. The FAA is 

proposing this AD after evaluating all 

known relevant information and 

determining that the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other helicopters of these 

same type designs. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

EASA AD 2022–0016–E, described 

previously, as incorporated by 

reference, except for any differences 

identified as exceptions in the 

regulatory text of this proposed AD and 

except as discussed under ‘‘Differences 

Between this Proposed AD and EASA 

AD 2022–0016–E.’’ 

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 

incorporate EASA AD 2022–0016–E by 

reference in the FAA final rule. This 

proposed AD would, therefore, require 

compliance with EASA AD 2022–0016– 

E 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 

EASA AD 2022–0016–E 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 EASA AD 2022–0016–E. 

Service information referenced in EASA 

AD 2022–0016–E for compliance will be 

available at https://www.regulations.gov 

by searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2022–0808 after the FAA final 

rule is published. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and EASA AD 2022–0016–E 

The EASA AD requires a compliance 

time of before next hoist operation or 

within 30 days, whichever occurs first 

after the effective date of EASA AD 

2022–0016–E, whereas this proposed 

AD would require a compliance time of 

within 30 hours time in service or 

within 30 days, whichever occurs first 

after the effective date of this proposed 

AD. Where the service information 

referenced in the EASA AD specifies to 

perform dye penetrant inspection ‘‘if 

you are not sure,’’ this proposed AD 

would not require that action. Where 

EASA AD 2022–0016–E requires 

returning a fitting that was required to 

be removed as a result of the inspection, 

this proposed AD would not. 

Interim Action 

The FAA considers this proposed AD 

would be an interim action. If final 

action is later identified, the FAA might 

consider further rulemaking then. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 7 

helicopters of U.S. Registry. Labor rates 

are estimated at $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these numbers, the FAA 

estimates the following costs to comply 

with this proposed AD. 

Inspecting all hoist attachment fittings 

would take about 0.5 work-hour for an 

estimated cost of $42.50 per helicopter 

and $298 for the U.S. fleet. 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
40166 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 6, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

Replacing the front upper fitting 

would take about 4 hours and parts 

would cost $834 for an estimated cost of 

$1,174 per front upper fitting. 

Replacing the rear upper fitting would 

take about 4 hours and parts would cost 

$1,040 for an estimated cost of $1,380 

per rear upper fitting. 

Replacing the lower fitting would take 

about 4 hours and parts would cost 

$1,874 for an estimated cost of $2,214 

per lower fitting. 

The FAA estimates that it would take 

about 1 hour per product to comply 

with the proposed reporting 

requirement in this proposed AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based 

on these figures, the FAA estimates the 

cost of reporting the inspection results 

on U.S. operators to be $595 or $85 per 

product. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

A federal agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, nor shall a person be subject 

to a penalty for failure to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act unless that collection of 

information displays a current valid 

OMB Control Number. The OMB 

Control Number for this information 

collection is 2120–0056. Public 

reporting for this collection of 

information is estimated to take 

approximately 1 hour per response, 

including the time for reviewing 

instructions, searching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the 

data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

All responses to this collection of 

information are mandatory. Send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including 

suggestions for reducing this burden, to:

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 14, 2022, the Drug 

Enforcement Administration (DEA) 

published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 2376) to place five 

tryptamine substances in schedule I of 

the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 

U.S.C. 801, et seq.). Specifically, in this 

NPRM, DEA proposed to schedule the 

following five controlled substances in 

schedule I of the CSA, including their 

salts, isomers, and salts of isomers 

whenever the existence of such salts, 

isomers, and salts of isomers is possible 

within the specific chemical 

designation: 

• 4-Hydroxy-N,Ndiisopropyltryptamine (4-OH-DiPT), 

• 5-Methoxy-alphamethyltryptamine 

(5-MeO-AMT), 

• N-Isopropyl-5-Methoxy-NMethyltryptamine (5-MeO-MiPT), 

• N,N-Diethyl-5-methoxytryptamine 

(5-MeO-DET), and 

• N,N-Diisopropyltryptamine (DiPT). 

The proposal in the NPRM to place 

these substances in schedule I was 

based primarily on the scientific and 

medical evaluations and 

recommendations provided by the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) to DEA. In those 

submissions to DEA, HHS concluded 

that these five substances meet the 

criteria for placement in schedule I as 

they all have a high potential for abuse, 

no currently medical use in treatment in 

the United States, and a lack of accepted 

safety for use under medical 

supervision. DEA is bound by the 

recommendations of HHS as to 

scientific and medical matters. 

The NPRM invited interested persons 

to submit comments, objections, and 

requests for a hearing on or before 

February 14, 2022, and received 589 

comments and multiple requests for a 

hearing. In requesting a hearing, the 

requestors stated that their intention is 

to present factual information and 

expert opinion concerning the 

significance and reliability of the 

medical, scientific, and other bases that 

DEA provided in support of the 

proposed scheduling of the five 

tryptamine substances.
