Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 33 / Monday, February 22, 2021 / Proposed Rules deployment system LRDS installed per Supplemental Type Certificate STC
SR09211RC. The NPRM was prompted by an incident that occurred where the handle bent prior to the life raft deploying, and this prohibited the crew from successfully deploying and using the life raft. It was determined that the handle in this incident was not manufactured to the approved Type Design. The NPRM would have required removing and replacing the pilot or copilot life raft deployment handle handle located on the left side of the broom closet of the helicopter. Since issuance of the NPRM, the FAA
determined that, based on a review of the design approval holders records, all of the handles have been replaced.
Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn.
DATES: The FAA is withdrawing the proposed rule published March 1, 2011
76 FR 11174, as of February 22, 2021.
ADDRESSES:

The proposed actions were intended to address bending of the handle, which could result in failure of the life raft to deploy. This failure could lead to loss of access to the life raft after an emergency ditching on water.

The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Discussion The FAA has issued an NPRM that proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to the specified products. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 1, 2011 76 FR 11174. The NPRM was prompted by an incident that occurred where the handle bent prior to the life raft deploying, and this prohibited the crew from successfully deploying and using the life raft. It was determined that the handle in this incident was not manufactured to the approved Type Design.
The NPRM proposed to require removing and replacing the pilot or copilot handle located on the left side of the broom closet of the helicopter.

Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued Since issuance of the NPRM, the FAA
determined that, based on a review of the design approval holders records, all of the handles have been replaced, which addresses the identified unsafe condition. Therefore, the FAA
determined that AD action is not appropriate.
Withdrawal of the NPRM constitutes only such action and does not preclude the FAA from further rulemaking on this issue, nor does it commit the FAA
to any course of action in the future.
Comments
FAAs Conclusions Upon further consideration, the FAA
determined that the NPRM is unnecessary. Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn.
Regulatory Findings Since this action only withdraws an NPRM, it is neither a proposed nor a final rule. This action therefore is not covered under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures 44
FR 11034, February 26, 1979.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety.
The Withdrawal Accordingly, the notice of proposed rulemaking, Docket No. FAA2011
0099, which was published in the Federal Register on March 1, 2011 76
FR 11174, is withdrawn.

Issued on January 20, 2021.
