Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 150 / Monday, August 9, 2021 / Proposed Rules
this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Based on these figures, the FAA
estimates the cost of the proposed inspection on U.S. operators to be $1,955, or $85 per airplane.
In addition, the FAA estimates that any necessary action to separate the connections would take about 3 workhours and require parts costing $25, for a cost of $280 per airplane. The FAA
has no way of determining the number of products that may need these actions.
The FAA has included all costs in this cost estimate. According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators.
Authority for This Rulemaking Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAAs 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 Agencys 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 39AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106g, 40113, 44701.
39.13

Amended
2. The FAA amends 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive:

Pacific Aerospace Limited: Docket No. FAA
20210213; Project Identifier 2018CE
036AD.
a Comments Due Date The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive AD by September 23, 2021.
b Affected ADs None.
c Applicability This AD applies to Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes, serial numbers up to and including 222, certificated in any category, with the battery installed within the engine bay at the firewall.
d Subject Joint Aircraft System Component JASC
Code 2400, Electric Power System.
e Reason This AD was prompted by 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
identifies the unsafe condition as insufficient separation of ground terminations for individual power sources and static grounds.
The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct ground terminations with insufficient separation, which could lead to loss of primary and secondary power sources if the ground connection fails and consequent simultaneous loss of multiple airplane systems.
f Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Instructions, figure 2, of Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/104, Issue 1, dated May 2, 2018 PACSB/XL/
104I1.
2 If the ground leads connect to a single ground stud, before further flight, separate the battery ground lead connections by following the Accomplishment Instructions, steps 4 through 36, of PACSB/XL/104I1.
h Alternative Methods of Compliance AMOCs 1 The Manager, International Validation Branch, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
