Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 241 / Monday, December 20, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 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 Andrea Jimenez, Aerospace Engineer, COS Program Management Section, Operational Safety Branch, Compliance &
Airworthiness Division, FAA, 1600
Stewart Ave., Suite 410, Westbury, NY
11590; telephone 516 2287330; email andrea.jimenez@faa.gov. Any commentary that the FAA receives that is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.
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 There are no costs of compliance with this AD because there are currently no helicopters with this type certificate on the U.S. Registry that are affected by the unsafe condition addressed by this AD.

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
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.

1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106g, 40113, 44701.
39.13

Amended
2. The FAA amends 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive:

20212508 Leonardo S.p.a.: Amendment 3921851; Docket No. FAA20211060;
Project Identifier MCAI202100340R.
a Effective Date This airworthiness directive AD becomes effective January 4, 2022.
b Affected ADs None.
c Applicability This AD applies to Leonardo S.p.a. Model AW189 helicopters, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency AD 20210078, dated March 17, 2021 EASA AD 20210078.
d Subject Joint Aircraft System Component JASC
Code 3300, Lighting System.
e Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by the determination that certain part-numbered fairings were never introduced into the main rotor tip lights kit design definition and were not certified for icing conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address ice shedding ingestion by the engines, which could lead to a double engine in-flight shut-down and consequent loss of control of the helicopter.
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, EASA AD 20210078.
