Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
The FAA proposes to
supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2020–22–16, AD 2021–16–01, and AD
2022–04–03, which apply to certain
Airbus SAS Model A318, A320 and
A321 series airplanes; and Model A319–
111, –112, –113, –114, –115, –131, –132,
–133, –151N, and –153N airplanes. AD
2020–22–16, AD 2021–16–01, and AD
2022–04–03 require revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations.
Since the FAA issued AD 2020–22–16,
AD 2021–16–01, and AD 2022–04–03,
the FAA has determined that new or
more restrictive airworthiness
limitations are necessary. This proposed
AD would continue to require the
actions in AD 2020–22–16, AD 2021–
16–01, and AD 2022–04–03, and would
require 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 proposed for incorporation
by reference (IBR). The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments
on this proposed AD by January 20,
2023.
SUMMARY:
You may send comments,
using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Background
The FAA issued AD 2020–22–16,
Amendment 39–21312 (85 FR 70439,
November 5, 2020) (AD 2020–22–16) for
certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series
airplanes; Model A319–111, –112, –113,
–114, –115, –131, –132, –133, –151N,
and –153N airplanes; Model A320 series
airplanes; and Model A321 series
airplanes. AD 2020–22–16 was
prompted by an MCAI originated by
EASA, which is the Technical Agent for
the Member States of the European
Union. EASA issued AD 2020–0067,
dated March 23, 2020 (EASA AD 2020–
0067) (which corresponds to FAA AD
2020–22–16) to correct an unsafe
condition. AD 2020–22–16 requires
revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations. The FAA
issued AD 2020–22–16 to address a
safety-significant latent failure (that is
not annunciated), which, in
combination with one or more other
specific failures or events, could result
in a hazardous or catastrophic failure
condition.
The FAA issued AD 2021–16–01,
Amendment 39–21662 (86 FR 47212,
August 24, 2021) (AD 2021–16–01), for
certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series
airplanes; Model A319–111, –112, –113,
–114, –115, –131, –132, –133, –151N,
and –153N airplanes; Model A320 series
airplanes; and Model A321 series
airplanes. AD 2021–16–01 was
prompted by EASA AD 2020–0219,
dated October 12, 2020 (EASA AD

2020–0219) (which corresponds to FAA
AD 2021–16–01) to correct an unsafe
condition. AD 2021–16–01 requires
revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations. The FAA
issued AD 2021–16–01 to address
safety-significant latent failure (that is
not annunciated), which, in
combination with one or more other
specific failures or events, could result
in a hazardous or catastrophic failure
condition. AD 2021–16–01 specifies that
accomplishing the revision required by
that AD terminates the corresponding
requirements of AD 2020–22–16, for the
tasks identified in the service
information referred to in EASA AD
2020–0219, dated October 12, 2020,
only.
The FAA issued AD 2022–04–03,
Amendment 39–21944 (87 FR 10064,
February 23, 2022) (AD 2022–04–03),
for certain Airbus SAS Model A318
series airplanes; Model A319–111, –112,
–113, –114, –115, –131, –132, –133,
–151N, and –153N airplanes; and Model
A320 and A321 series airplanes. AD
2022–04–03 was prompted by EASA AD
2021–0108, dated April 20, 2021 (EASA
AD 2021–0108) (which corresponds to
FAA AD 2022–04–03). AD 2022–04–03
requires revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations.
The FAA issued AD 2022–04–03 to
address a safety-significant latent failure
(that is not annunciated), which, in
combination with one or more other
specific failures or events, could result
in a hazardous or catastrophic failure
condition. AD 2022–04–03 specifies that
accomplishing the revision required by
that AD terminates the limitations of
Task 262300–00001–1–C, as required by
paragraph (i) of AD 2020–22–16, for
airplanes with an original airworthiness
certificate or original export certificate
of airworthiness issued on or before
January 17, 2020 only.
Actions Since AD 2020–22–16, AD
2021–16–01, and AD 2022–04–03 Were
Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2020–22–
16, AD 2021–16–01, and AD 2022–04–
03, EASA superseded ADs 2020–0067,
2020–0219, and 2021–0108; and issued
EASA AD 2022–0091, dated May 20,
2022 (EASA AD 2022–0091) (also
referred to as the MCAI), for certain
Model A318 series, A319 series, A321

therefore does not include those
airplanes in the applicability.
Airplanes with an original
airworthiness certificate or original
export certificate of airworthiness
issued after February 18, 2022 must
comply with the airworthiness
limitations specified as part of the
approved type design and referenced on
the type certificate data sheet; this AD
therefore does not include those
airplanes in the applicability.
The FAA is proposing this AD to
address a safety-significant latent failure
(that is not annunciated), which, in

specific failures or events, could result
in a hazardous or catastrophic failure
condition. You may examine the MCAI

FAA’s Determination
These products have been approved
by the aviation authority of another
country and are approved for operation
in the United States. Pursuant to the
FAA’s bilateral agreement with the State
of Design Authority, it has notified the
FAA of the unsafe condition described
in the MCAI described above. The FAA
is issuing this NPRM after determining
that the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements in This
NPRM
This proposed AD would retain the
requirements of AD 2020–22–16, AD
2021–16–01, and AD 2022–04–03. This
proposed AD would also require
revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate additional new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations,
which are specified in EASA AD 2022–
0091 described previously, as proposed
for incorporation by reference. Any
differences with EASA AD 2022–0091
are identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD.
This proposed AD would require
revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new
actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance
with these actions is required by 14 CFR
91.403(c). For airplanes that have been
previously modified, altered, or repaired
in the areas addressed by this proposed
AD, the operator may not be able to
accomplish the actions described in the
revisions. In this situation, to comply
with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator
must request approval for an alternative
method of compliance (AMOC)
according to paragraph (s)(1) of this
proposed AD.
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
retain the IBR of EASA ADs 2020–0067,
2020–0219, and 2021–0108, and
incorporate EASA AD 2022–0091 by
reference in the FAA final rule. This
proposed AD would, therefore, require
compliance with EASA ADs 2022–0091,
2020–0067, 2020–0219, and 2021–0108
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 ADs 2022–0091, 2020–
0067, 2020–0219, or 2021–0108 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 ADs 2022–0091,
2020–0067, 2020–0219, or 2021–0108.

Service information required by EASA
ADs 2022–0091, 2020–0067, 2020–0219,
and 2021–0108 for compliance will be
available at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA–2022–1573 after the
FAA final rule is published.
Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using
the New Process
The FAA’s process of incorporating
by reference MCAI ADs as the primary
source of information for compliance
with corresponding FAA ADs has been
limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily
those with service bulletins as the
primary source of information for
accomplishing the actions required by
the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now
expanding the process to include MCAI
ADs that require a change to
airworthiness limitation documents,
such as airworthiness limitation
sections.
For these ADs that incorporate by
reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA
requirements are unchanged. Operators
must revise the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate the information specified in
the new airworthiness limitation
document. The airworthiness
limitations must be followed according
to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
The previous format of the
airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no
alternative actions (e.g., inspections)
may be used unless the actions and
intervals are approved as an AMOC in
accordance with the procedures
specified in the AMOCs paragraph
under ‘‘Additional AD Provisions.’’ This
new format includes a ‘‘New Provisions
for Alternative Actions and Intervals’’
paragraph that does not specifically
refer to AMOCs, but operators may still
request an AMOC to use an alternative
action or interval.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this proposed
AD affects 1,680 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this
proposed AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per
operator for the retained actions from
AD 2020–22–16, AD 2021–16–01, and
AD 2022–04–03 to be $7,650 (90 workhours × $85 per work-hour) per AD.
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
E:\FR\FM\06DEP1.SGM
06DEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 233 / Tuesday, December 6, 2022 / Proposed Rules
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).
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

Jkt 259001
The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Bombardier, Inc., Model CL–600–1A11
(600), CL–600–2A12 (601), and CL–600–
2B16 (601–3A, 601–3R, and 604
Variants) airplanes. This proposed AD
was prompted by a determination that,
due to a lack of flightcrew awareness,
smoke hoods with a certain part number
installed throughout the airplane could
be mistaken for protective breathing
equipment (PBE). This proposed AD
would require an inspection or records
review to determine if any smoke hood
with a certain part number is installed
in any location on the airplane and,
depending on the results, removing the
smoke hood and associated placards
and installing new placards. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments
on this proposed AD by January 20,
2023.
SUMMARY:
You may send comments,

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2020-22-16, AD 2021-16-01, and AD 2022-04-03, which apply to certain
Airbus SAS Model A318, A320 and A321 series airplanes; and Model A319-
111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -133, -151N, and -153N
airplanes. AD 2020-22-16, AD 2021-16-01, and AD 2022-04-03 require
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since
the FAA issued AD 2020-22-16, AD 2021-16-01, and AD 2022-04-03, the FAA
has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations
are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions
in AD 2020-22-16, AD 2021-16-01, and AD 2022-04-03, and would require
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 proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The
FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 20,

Background
The FAA issued AD 2020-22-16, Amendment 39-21312 (85 FR 70439,
November 5, 2020) (AD 2020-22-16) for certain Airbus SAS Model A318
series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -
133, -151N, and -153N airplanes; Model A320 series airplanes; and Model
A321 series airplanes. AD 2020-22-16 was prompted by an MCAI originated
by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union. EASA issued AD 2020-0067, dated March 23, 2020 (EASA AD
2020-0067) (which corresponds to FAA AD 2020-22-16) to correct an
unsafe condition. AD 2020-22-16 requires revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2020-22-
16 to address a safety-significant latent failure (that is not
annunciated), which, in combination with one or more other specific
failures or events, could result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure
condition.
The FAA issued AD 2021-16-01, Amendment 39-21662 (86 FR 47212,
August 24, 2021) (AD 2021-16-01), for certain Airbus SAS Model A318
series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -
133, -151N, and -153N airplanes; Model A320 series airplanes; and Model
A321 series airplanes. AD 2021-16-01 was prompted by EASA AD 2020-0219,
dated October 12, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0219) (which corresponds to FAA AD
2021-16-01) to correct an unsafe condition. AD 2021-16-01 requires
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The
FAA issued AD 2021-16-01 to address safety-significant latent failure
(that is not annunciated), which, in combination with one or more other
specific failures or events, could result in a hazardous or
catastrophic failure condition. AD 2021-16-01 specifies that
accomplishing the revision required by that AD terminates the
corresponding requirements of AD 2020-22-16, for the tasks identified
in the service information referred to in EASA AD 2020-0219, dated
October 12, 2020, only.
The FAA issued AD 2022-04-03, Amendment 39-21944 (87 FR 10064,
February 23, 2022) (AD 2022-04-03), for certain Airbus SAS Model A318
series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -
133, -151N, and -153N airplanes; and Model A320 and A321 series
airplanes. AD 2022-04-03 was prompted by EASA AD 2021-0108, dated April
20, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0108) (which corresponds to FAA AD 2022-04-03).
AD 2022-04-03 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2022-04-03 to address a
safety-significant latent failure (that is not annunciated), which, in
combination with one or more other specific failures or events, could
result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition. AD 2022-04-03
specifies that accomplishing the revision required by that AD
terminates the limitations of Task 262300-00001-1-C, as required by
paragraph (i) of AD 2020-22-16, for airplanes with an original
airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of
airworthiness issued on or before January 17, 2020 only.
Actions Since AD 2020-22-16, AD 2021-16-01, and AD 2022-04-03 Were
Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2020-22-16, AD 2021-16-01, and AD 2022-04-
03, EASA superseded ADs 2020-0067, 2020-0219, and 2021-0108; and issued
EASA AD 2022-0091, dated May 20, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0091) (also
referred to as the MCAI), for certain Model A318 series, A319 series,
A321 series, and Model A320-211, -212, -214, -215, -216, -231, -232, -
233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes. Model
A320-215 airplanes are not certificated by the FAA
[[Page 74532]]
and are not included on the U.S. type certificate data sheet; this
proposed AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the
applicability.
Airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original
export certificate of airworthiness issued after February 18, 2022 must
comply with the airworthiness limitations specified as part of the
approved type design and referenced on the type certificate data sheet;
this AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the
applicability.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address a safety-significant latent
failure (that is not annunciated), which, in combination with one or
more other specific failures or events, could result in a hazardous or
catastrophic failure condition. You may examine the MCAI in the AD
docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2022-1573.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2022-0091 specifies new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations for certification maintenance requirements.
This proposed AD would also require EASA AD 2020-0067, dated March
23, 2020; which the Director of the Federal Register approved for
incorporation by reference as of December 10, 2020 (85 FR 70439,
November 5, 2020).
This proposed AD would also require EASA AD 2020-0219, dated
October 12, 2020, which the Director of the Federal Register approved
for incorporation by reference as of September 28, 2021 (86 FR 47212,
August 24, 2021).
This proposed AD would also require EASA AD 2021-0108, dated April
20, 2021, which the Director of the Federal Register approved for
incorporation by reference as of March 30, 2022 (87 FR 10064, February
23, 2022).
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
These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI described above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after
determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to
exist or develop in other products of these same type designs.
Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM
This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2020-22-16, AD
2021-16-01, and AD 2022-04-03. This proposed AD would also require
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate additional new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations, which are specified in EASA AD 2022-0091 described
previously, as proposed for incorporation by reference. Any differences
with EASA AD 2022-0091 are identified as exceptions in the regulatory
text of this AD.
This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) according to
paragraph (s)(1) of this proposed AD.
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 retain the IBR of EASA ADs 2020-0067, 2020-0219, and
2021-0108, and incorporate EASA AD 2022-0091 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA ADs 2022-0091, 2020-0067, 2020-0219, and 2021-0108 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 ADs 2022-0091,
2020-0067, 2020-0219, or 2021-0108 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 ADs 2022-0091,
2020-0067, 2020-0219, or 2021-0108. Service information required by
EASA ADs 2022-0091, 2020-0067, 2020-0219, and 2021-0108 for compliance
will be available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2022-1573
after the FAA final rule is published.
Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process
The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged.
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections) may be used unless the actions and intervals are approved
as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in the AMOCs
paragraph under ``Additional AD Provisions.'' This new format includes
a ``New Provisions for Alternative Actions and Intervals'' paragraph
that does not specifically refer to AMOCs, but operators may still
request an AMOC to use an alternative action or interval.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 1,680 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2020-22-16, AD 2021-16-01, and AD 2022-04-03 to be
$7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour) per AD.
The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours 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
[[Page 74533]]
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 x $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.
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.
