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 Hal Jensen, Aerospace Engineer, Operational Safety Branch, FAA, 950 LEnfant Plaza N SW, Washington, DC 20024; telephone 202

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 37 helicopters of U.S. Registry.
Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates that operators may incur the following costs in order to comply with this AD.
Inspecting the operation of the locking safety mechanism on the LH
side stairway door handle takes about 0.1 work-hour for an estimated cost of $9 per helicopter and $333 for the U.S.

position to determine if the safety mechanism on the LH side stairway door handle can lock automatically takes about 0.5 work-hour for an estimated cost of $43 per helicopter.
Modifying the locking safety mechanism on the LH side stairway door handle takes about 8 work-hours and parts cost about $5,000 for an estimated cost of $5,680 per helicopter.
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 AD
would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This 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 regulation:
1 Is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, and 2 Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.
