Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 146 / Tuesday, August 3, 2021 / Proposed Rules
41793

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS
Action Retained inspections and replacements of the retaining ring from AD
2019-05-06.
New proposed modification
Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per product
Cost on U.S. operators
0.50 work-hour $85 per hour = $42.50.

Minimal

$42.50, per inspection cycle.

Up to $14,492.50, per inspection cycle
1 work-hour $85 per hour = $85.

Negligible

$85

$28,985

The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-condition replacement of the elastomeric energy
absorber that would be required based on the results of any required inspections. The FAA has no way of
determining the number of helicopters that might need this on-condition action:

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS
Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per product
0.50 work-hour $85 per hour = $42.50

$2,152

$2,194.50

According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this proposed AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for affected operators.
As a result, the FAA has included all known costs in the cost estimate.
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.
