Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 196 / Thursday, October 14, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
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 This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
1 Is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, 2 Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and 3 Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety.
The Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106g, 40113, 44701.
Amended
2. The FAA amends 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:23 Oct 13, 2021
Jkt 256001
a Effective Date This airworthiness directive AD is effective November 18, 2021.
b Affected ADs None.
c Applicability This AD applies to all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X, FALCON 900EX, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes, certificated in any category.
d Subject Air Transport Association ATA of America Code 25, Equipment/Furnishings.
e Reason This AD was prompted by a report of a manufacturing issue involving misalignment of a seat pin and plate that can prevent the recline locking mechanism from properly engaging when the seat is in taxi, take-off, or landing position. The FAA is issuing this AD
to address cabin seats having improper or no engagement of the recline locking mechanism during taxi, take-off, or landing, which could result in reduced seat performance under crash loads and possible injury to seat occupants.
f Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
g Requirements Except as specified in paragraph h of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency EASA AD 20200284, dated December 18, 2020 EASA AD 20200284.
h Exceptions to EASA AD 20200284
1 Where EASA AD 20200284 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
2 This AD does not mandate compliance with the Remarks section of EASA AD
20200284.
3 Where paragraph 2 of EASA AD 2020
0284 specifies action if any discrepancy is detected for this AD, a discrepancy is a gap between the seat pin and plate.
i No Reporting Requirement Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 20200284 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
