Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 23 / Friday, February 5, 2021 / Rules and Regulations above. The FAA is issuing this AD
because the FAA evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.
Requirements of This AD
This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA Emergency AD 20210036E described previously, as incorporated by reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD.
Explanation of Required Compliance Information In the FAAs ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation authorities CAAs to use this process. As a result, EASA
Emergency AD 20210036E is incorporated by reference in this final rule. This AD, therefore, requires compliance with EASA Emergency AD
20210036E in its entirety, through that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD 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 Actions and Compliance Times in the EASA
AD. Service information specified in EASA Emergency AD 20210036E that is required for compliance with EASA
Emergency AD 20210036E is available on the internet at https
www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA2021
0024.
FAAs Justification and Determination of the Effective Date An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to adoption.
The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because deviations during the assembly and overhaul of certain crew oxygen mask stowage boxes could lead to blocked oxygen supply flow to flight deck crew oxygen masks, which, in combination with in-flight depressurization, flight deck smoke, or a smoke evacuation procedure, may lead to flightcrew hypoxia and loss of useful consciousness and consequent loss of control of the airplane. 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. Therefore, the FAA
finds good cause that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reasons stated above, the FAA finds that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30
days.
Comments Invited The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under ADDRESSES. Include Docket No. FAA
20210024; Project Identifier MCAI
202101005T at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this final rule because of those comments.
Except for Confidential Business Information CBI as described in the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments
received, without change, to https
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.
Confidential Business Information CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily and actually treated as private by its owner.
Under the Freedom of Information Act FOIA 5 U.S.C. 552, CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing CBI as PROPIN. The FAA
will treat such marked submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI
should be sent to Tom Rodriguez, Aerospace Engineer, Large Aircraft Section, International Validation Branch, FAA, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198; telephone and fax 2062313226; email tom.rodriguez@
faa.gov. Any commentary that the FAA
receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.
Regulatory Flexibility Act RFA
The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good cause 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 133 airplanes of U.S. registry.
