Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 21, 2021 / Rules and Regulations manhole access panel attachment holes in the bottom wing skin panels 2, between rib 13 and rib 23, on airplanes with Sharklets or its structural reinforcements are installed, could lead to crack propagation, possibly resulting in reduced structural integrity of the wings. In addition, the compliance time for the required action is shorter than the time necessary for the public to comment and for publication of the final rule. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment
are impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553b3B.
In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553d for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days, for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forgo notice and comment.
Regulatory Flexibility Act RFA
The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good cause
72173

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and comment.
Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment, RFA
analysis is not required.
Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD
affects 1,463 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS
