ACTION: Final rule.
We are revising an existing
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results
from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct
an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:
SUMMARY:
Inspection of a high time aircraft has
revealed cracks in the Horizontal Stabiliser
rear spar splice plate and inboard main ribs
around the area of the Horizontal Stabiliser
rear pivot attachment. Additionally, failure of
some attach bolts in service may be due to
improper assembly.
This amendment is issued to include an
applicability matrix (Table 1, page 2) in the
compliance section of the service bulletin for
improved clarity.
We are issuing this AD to require
actions to correct the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
October 7, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to the specified products. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on June 21, 2010 (75 FR 34953),
and proposed to revise AD 2010–10–01,
Amendment 39–16280 (75 FR 23577,
May 4, 2010).
Since we issued AD 2010–10–01, the
foreign authority has issued an
amendment to include an applicability
matrix in the compliance section of the
manufacturer’s service bulletin for
improved clarity. The FAA is revising
this AD to allow the use of issue 6 or
issue 5 of the service bulletin. An
operator would be in compliance if the
operator chose to only accomplish issue
5 of the service bulletin. This revision
of the FAA’s AD will make the FAA AD
more in line with the latest version of
the received MCAI.
The NPRM proposed to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states that:
Inspection of a high time aircraft has
revealed cracks in the Horizontal Stabiliser
rear spar splice plate and inboard main ribs
around the area of the Horizontal Stabiliser
rear pivot attachment. Additionally, failure of
some attach bolts in service may be due to
improper assembly.
This amendment is issued to include an
applicability matrix (Table 1, page 2) in the
compliance section of the service bulletin for
improved clarity.
The previous amendment included
reference to the GA8–TC 320 variant in the
applicability section.
Amendment 2 was issued because the
requirement document now contains an
inspection for cracking in horizontal
stabilisers which have load transferring
fittings installed.
Previous amendments of this AD listed the
AD requirements in full. Due to the extensive
E:\FR\FM\02SER1.SGM
02SER1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 170 / Thursday, September 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
use of diagrams and photographs, it is no
longer appropriate or practical to write the
requirements of the service bulletin out in
full in this AD. All requirements,
accomplishment instructions and
illustrations are contained in the service
bulletin.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the
public.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.
Differences Between This AD and the
MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and
related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But
we might have found it necessary to use
different words from those in the MCAI
to ensure the AD is clear for U.S.
operators and is enforceable. In making
these changes, we do not intend to differ
substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related
service information.
We might also have required different
actions in this AD from those in the
MCAI in order to follow FAA policies.
Any such differences are highlighted in
a note within the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect
25 products of U.S. registry. We also
estimate that it will take about 1 workhour per product to comply with the
basic requirements of this AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Required parts will cost about $0 per
product.
Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators
to be $2,125 or $85 per product.
In addition, we estimate that any
necessary follow-on actions would take
about 5 work-hours and require parts
costing $200, for a cost of $625 per
product. We have no way of
determining the number of products
that may need these actions.
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
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.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:14 Sep 01, 2010
Jkt 220001
We are 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
We determined that 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 this AD:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD Docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on
the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the
Docket Management Facility between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD
docket contains the NPRM, the
regulatory evaluation, any comments
received, and other information. The
street address for the Docket Office
(telephone (800) 647–5527) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be
available in the AD docket shortly after
receipt.

FAA AD Differences
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/
or service information as follows:
(1) ‘‘Requirement: 1. Daily Inspection
(Stabilizer attach bolt)’’ of the service
information requires a daily inspection of the
stabilizer attach bolt. The daily inspection is
not a requirement of this AD. Instead of the
daily inspection, we require you to perform,
within 10 hours TIS, ‘‘Requirement 3. Rear
Pivot Attachment Inspection’’ and
‘‘Requirement 5. Rear Attachment Bolt
Replacement’’ of the service information.
Compliance with requirement 3. and 5. is a
terminating action for the daily inspection,
and we are requiring these within 10 hours
TIS after the effective date of AD 2009–05–
01 for Group 1 airplanes and AD 2010–10–
01 for Group 2 airplanes.
(2) ‘‘Requirement: 2. External Inspection
(Lower flange, Stabilizer rear spar)’’ of the
service information does not specify any
action if excessive local deflection or
movement of lower skin, cracking, or
working (loose) rivet is found. We require
obtaining and incorporating an FAAapproved repair scheme from the
manufacturer before further flight.
(3) The MCAI does not state if further flight
with known cracks is allowed. FAA policy is
to not allow further flight with known cracks
in critical structure. We require that if any
cracks are found when accomplishing the
inspection required in paragraphs (f)(2) and
(g)(2) of this AD, you must repair the cracks
before further flight.
(4) The service information does not state
that parts with spotfaced nut and bolt mating
surfaces require replacement. However, the
service information no longer allows
reworking of the mating surfaces by
spotfacing. We require that if any nut and
bolt surfaces were previously reworked by
spotfacing, you must replace the parts.
Other FAA AD Provisions
(g) The following provisions also apply to
this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office,
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs
for this AD, if requested using the procedures
found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to

4090. Before using any approved AMOC on
any airplane to which the AMOC applies,
notify your appropriate principal inspector
(PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District
Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.

We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results
from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct
an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:
Discussion
During maintenance at the vendor’s
facility, some HSTAs [horizontal stabilizer
trim actuators] were assembled with the
incorrect load bearing balls. The material of
these discrepant balls has lower wear
characteristics and as such, has a shorter
expected life. If not corrected, this condition
can result in the HSTA jam leading to
difficulties in controlling the aircraft.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF–2010–20,
dated July 19, 2010 (referred to after this
as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products.
The MCAI states:
*
*
*
*
*
The unsafe condition is possible loss of
controllability of the airplane. This AD
requires actions that are intended to
address the unsafe condition described
in the MCAI.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
September 17, 2010.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in the AD
as of September 17, 2010.
We must receive comments on this
AD by October 18, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments by
any of the following methods:

SUMMARY: We are revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for
the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Inspection of a high time aircraft has revealed cracks in the
Horizontal Stabiliser rear spar splice plate and inboard main ribs
around the area of the Horizontal Stabiliser rear pivot attachment.
Additionally, failure of some attach bolts in service may be due to
improper assembly.
This amendment is issued to include an applicability matrix
(Table 1, page 2) in the compliance section of the service bulletin
for improved clarity.
We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective October 7, 2010.
On October 7, 2010, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory
Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2002-02, Issue 6, dated April 21, 2010, listed
in this AD.
As of March 2, 2009 (74 FR 8159; February 24, 2009), the Director
of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of
Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2002-02, Issue
5, dated November 13, 2008, listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2010 (75 FR
34953), and proposed to revise AD 2010-10-01, Amendment 39-16280 (75 FR
23577, May 4, 2010).
Since we issued AD 2010-10-01, the foreign authority has issued an
amendment to include an applicability matrix in the compliance section
of the manufacturer's service bulletin for improved clarity. The FAA is
revising this AD to allow the use of issue 6 or issue 5 of the service
bulletin. An operator would be in compliance if the operator chose to
only accomplish issue 5 of the service bulletin. This revision of the
FAA's AD will make the FAA AD more in line with the latest version of
the received MCAI.
The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states that:
Inspection of a high time aircraft has revealed cracks in the
Horizontal Stabiliser rear spar splice plate and inboard main ribs
around the area of the Horizontal Stabiliser rear pivot attachment.
Additionally, failure of some attach bolts in service may be due to
improper assembly.
This amendment is issued to include an applicability matrix
(Table 1, page 2) in the compliance section of the service bulletin
for improved clarity.
The previous amendment included reference to the GA8-TC 320
variant in the applicability section.
Amendment 2 was issued because the requirement document now
contains an inspection for cracking in horizontal stabilisers which
have load transferring fittings installed.
Previous amendments of this AD listed the AD requirements in
full. Due to the extensive
[[Page 53847]]
use of diagrams and photographs, it is no longer appropriate or
practical to write the requirements of the service bulletin out in
full in this AD. All requirements, accomplishment instructions and
illustrations are contained in the service bulletin.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.
Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a note within the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 25 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $0 per product.
Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S.
operators to be $2,125 or $85 per product.
In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 5 work-hours and require parts costing $200, for a cost of
$625 per product. We have no way of determining the number of products
that may need these actions.
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.
We are 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
We determined that 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 this AD:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
(2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD Docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the ADDRESSES
section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after
receipt.

reference, Safety.
Adoption of the Amendment
0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by removing Amendment 39-16280 (75 FR
23577, May 4, 2010) and adding the following new AD:
2010-10-01 R1 GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd.: Amendment 39-16425; Docket No.
FAA-2010-0463; Directorate Identifier 2010-CE-021-AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective October
7, 2010.
Affected ADs
(b) This AD revises AD 2010-10-01, Amendment 39-16280.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to the following model and serial number
airplanes, certificated in any category:
(i) Group 1 Airplanes (retains the actions and applicability
from AD 2009-05-01): Model GA8 airplanes, serial numbers GA8-00-004
and up; and
(ii) Group 2 Airplanes: Model GA8-TC320 airplanes, all serial
numbers.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 55:
Stabilizers.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
Inspection of a high time aircraft has revealed cracks in the
Horizontal Stabiliser rear spar splice plate and inboard main ribs
around the area of the Horizontal Stabiliser rear pivot attachment.
Additionally, failure of some attach bolts in service may be due to
improper assembly.
This amendment is issued to include an applicability matrix
(Table 1, page 2) in the compliance section of the service bulletin
for improved clarity.
The previous amendment included reference to the GA8-TC 320
variant in the applicability section.
Amendment 2 was issued because the requirement document now
contains an inspection for cracking in horizontal stabilisers which
have load transferring fittings installed.
Previous amendments of this AD listed the AD requirements in
full. Due to the extensive use of diagrams and photographs, it is no
longer appropriate or practical to write the requirements of the
service bulletin out in full in this AD. All requirements,
accomplishment instructions and illustrations are contained in the
service bulletin.
The FAA is revising AD 2010-10-01 to allow the use of issue 6 or
issue 5 of the service bulletin. An operator is in compliance if the
operator chooses to only accomplish issue 5
[[Page 53848]]
of the SB. This proposed revision of the FAA's AD will make the FAA
AD more consistent with the latest version of the MCAI.
Actions and Compliance
(f) For Group 1 Airplanes: Unless already done, do the following
actions:
(1) Within the next 10 hours time-in-service (TIS) after March
2, 2009 (the effective date retained from AD 2009-05-01):
(i) For all aircraft not incorporating computer numeric control
(CNC) machined elevator hinges, inspect and repair the left and
right horizontal stabilizer rear pivot attachment installation
following instruction ``3. Rear Pivot Attachment Inspection,'' of
Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2002-02,
Issue 5, dated November 13, 2008; or Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory
Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2002-02, Issue 6, dated April 21, 2010; and
(ii) For all aircraft, inspect the left and right rear attach
bolt mating surfaces for damage or an out of square condition and
replace the left and right rear attach bolts following instruction
``5. Rear Attach Bolt Replacement,'' of Gippsland Aeronautics
Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2002-02, Issue 5, dated November
13, 2008; or Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-
GA8-2002-02, Issue 6, dated April 21, 2010. Reworking the mating
surfaces by spotfacing is no longer acceptable. If the mating
surfaces are damaged, not square, or were previously reworked by
spotfacing the surface, replace the parts as specified in Gippsland
Aeronautics Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2002-02, Issue 5,
dated November 13, 2008; or Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory Service
Bulletin SB-GA8-2002-02, Issue 6, dated April 21, 2010.
(2) Within the next 10 hours TIS after March 2, 2009 (the
effective date retained from AD 2009-05-01) and repetitively
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours TIS or 12 months,
whichever occurs first, for all aircraft:
(i) Inspect the horizontal stabilizer externally following
instruction ``2. External Inspection (Lower flange, Stabilizer rear
spar),'' of Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA8-
2002-02, Issue 5, dated November 13, 2008; or Gippsland Aeronautics

(3) If during the inspection required by paragraph (f)(2) of
this AD any excessive local deflection or movement of the lower skin
surrounding the lower pivot attachment, cracking, or working (loose)
rivet is found, before further flight, obtain an FAA-approved repair
scheme from the manufacturer and incorporate this repair scheme. Due
to FAA policy, the repair scheme/modification for crack damage must
include an immediate repair of the crack. The repair scheme cannot
be by repetitive inspection only. The repair scheme/modification may
incorporate repetitive inspections in addition to the repetitive
inspections required in paragraph (f)(2) of this AD. Continued
operational flight with un-repaired crack damage is not permitted.
(g) For Group 2 Airplanes: Unless already done, do the following
actions:
(1) Within the next 10 hours TIS after May 10, 2010 (the

13, 2008; or Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-
GA8-2002-02, Issue 6, dated April 21, 2010. Reworking the mating
surfaces by spotfacing is no longer acceptable. If the mating
surfaces are damaged, not square, or were previously reworked by
spotfacing the surface, before further flight, replace the parts as
specified in Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-
GA8-2002-02, Issue 5, dated November 13, 2008; or Gippsland
Aeronautics Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2002-02, Issue 6,
dated April 21, 2010.
(2) Within the next 10 hours TIS after May 10, 2010 (the
effective date retained from AD 2010-10-01) and repetitively
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours TIS or 12 months,
whichever occurs first, for all aircraft:
(i) Inspect the horizontal stabilizer externally following
instruction ``2. External Inspection (Lower flange, Stabilizer rear
spar),'' of Gippsland Aeronautics Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA8-
2002-02, Issue 5, dated November 13, 2008; or Gippsland Aeronautics

(3) If during the inspection required by paragraph (g)(2) of
this AD any excessive local deflection or movement of the lower skin
surrounding the lower pivot attachment, cracking, or working (loose)
rivet is found, before further flight, obtain an FAA-approved repair
scheme from the manufacturer and incorporate this repair scheme. Due
to FAA policy, the repair scheme/modification for crack damage must
include an immediate repair of the crack. The repair scheme cannot
be by repetitive inspection only. The repair scheme/modification may
incorporate repetitive inspections in addition to the repetitive
inspections required in paragraph (g)(2) of this AD. Continued
operational flight with un-repaired crack damage is not permitted.
FAA AD Differences
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows:
(1) ``Requirement: 1. Daily Inspection (Stabilizer attach
bolt)'' of the service information requires a daily inspection of
the stabilizer attach bolt. The daily inspection is not a
requirement of this AD. Instead of the daily inspection, we require
you to perform, within 10 hours TIS, ``Requirement 3. Rear Pivot
Attachment Inspection'' and ``Requirement 5. Rear Attachment Bolt
Replacement'' of the service information. Compliance with
requirement 3. and 5. is a terminating action for the daily
inspection, and we are requiring these within 10 hours TIS after the
effective date of AD 2009-05-01 for Group 1 airplanes and AD 2010-
10-01 for Group 2 airplanes.
(2) ``Requirement: 2. External Inspection (Lower flange,
Stabilizer rear spar)'' of the service information does not specify
any action if excessive local deflection or movement of lower skin,
cracking, or working (loose) rivet is found. We require obtaining
and incorporating an FAA-approved repair scheme from the
manufacturer before further flight.
(3) The MCAI does not state if further flight with known cracks
is allowed. FAA policy is to not allow further flight with known
cracks in critical structure. We require that if any cracks are
found when accomplishing the inspection required in paragraphs
(f)(2) and (g)(2) of this AD, you must repair the cracks before
further flight.
(4) The service information does not state that parts with
spotfaced nut and bolt mating surfaces require replacement. However,
the service information no longer allows reworking of the mating
surfaces by spotfacing. We require that if any nut and bolt surfaces
were previously reworked by spotfacing, you must replace the parts.
Other FAA AD Provisions
(g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send
information to ATTN: Doug Rudolph, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small
Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri
64106; telephone: (816) 329-4059; fax: (816) 329-4090. Before using
any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify
your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight
Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
[[Page 53849]]
(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
(3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
approved the information collection requirements and has assigned
OMB Control Number 2120-0056.
