Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 18, 2021 / Proposed Rules
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:
The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 17 airplanes of U.S. registry.
ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS
Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per product
Up to 4 work-hours $85 per hour = Up to $340
Up to $1,650
Up to $1,990
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.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
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.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify this proposed regulation:
1 Is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, 2 Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and 3 Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350941 and 1041 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency EASA AD
20210127, dated May 12, 2021 EASA AD

e Reason This AD was prompted by a report that during type certification activity, it was identified that certain monitoring software was incorrectly implemented in the braking control system BCS certification standard.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address inservice limitations related to the braking and steering system, which, under specific degraded conditions, could lead to a reduction in braking performance and potentially lead to a runway excursion, and result in damage to the airplane and injury to passengers.
