1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
h Inspection and Repair Before further flight after accomplishing the removal required by paragraph g of this AD, inspect the external and feed-through doublers, intercostals, skin, stringers, and frames in the area around the removed external equipment for any cracking in accordance with paragraph 3.3., Inspection, of Astronics Connectivity Systems and Certification Service Bulletin SB44964201, dated July 8, 2021. If any cracking is found, before further flight, repair using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph j of this AD.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106g, 40113, 44701.
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.
