ACTION: Notification of availability; request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This document announces the availability of 63 Means of Compliance (MOC) based on 30 published ASTM International (ASTM) consensus standards developed by ASTM Committee F44 on General Aviation Aircraft. A total of 46 of these accepted MOCs consist of ASTM consensus standards as published, with the remaining 17 MOCs comprised of a combination of ASTM standards and FAA changes. The Administrator finds these MOCs to be an acceptable means, but not the only means, of showing compliance to the applicable regulations in part 23, amendment 23-64, for normal category airplanes. The Administrator further finds that these accepted means of complying with part 23, amendment 23-64, provide at least the same level of safety as the corresponding requirements in part 23, amendment 23-63. DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 10, 2018. ADDRESSES: Mail comments to: Federal Aviation Administration, Policy and Innovation Division, Small Airplane Standards Branch, AIR-690, Attention: Steve Thompson, 901 Locust Street, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106. Comments may also be emailed to: [email protected]. Specify the MOC, and if applicable, the standard being addressed by designation and title. Mark all comments: Part 23 MOC Comments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Thompson, Federal Aviation Administration, Policy and Innovation Division, Small Airplane Standards Branch, AIR-690, 901 Locust Street, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone (816) 329-4126; facsimile: (816) 329-4090; email: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited Interested persons are invited to submit written comments, data, or views. Communications should identify the MOC and consensus standard number, where applicable, and be submitted to the address previously specified in the ADDRESSES section of this NOA. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the accepted MOC(s) or standard(s), explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA may forward communications regarding the consensus standards to ASTM Committee F44 for consideration. The MOC or standard may be revised based on received comments. The FAA will consider all comments received during the recurring review of the MOC and consensus standard and will participate in the consensus standard revision process. Background Under the provisions of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 \1\ and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-119, ``Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities,'' effective January 27, 2016, the FAA participates in the development of consensus standards and uses consensus standards as a means of carrying out its policy objectives where appropriate. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Ref Public Law 104-113 as amended by Public Law 107-107. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consistent with the Small Airplane Revitalization Act of 2013,\2\ the FAA has been working with industry and other stakeholders through ASTM to develop consensus standards for use as a MOC in certificating small airplanes under part 23. In promulgating part 23, amendment 23- 64, the FAA explained that if it determined such consensus standards were acceptable MOC to part 23, it would publish a notice of availability of those consensus standards in the Federal Register. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ Ref Public Law 113-53. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pursuant to FAA Advisory Circular 23.2010-1, section 3.1.1, this document serves as a formal acceptance by the Administrator, of MOCs based on consensus standards developed by ASTM. The MOCs accepted by this document are one means, but not the only means of complying with part 23 regulatory requirements. The FAA has reviewed the consensus standards referenced in this NOA as the basis for MOCs to the regulatory requirements of part 23, amendment 23-64. In some cases, the Administrator finds sections of ASTM Standard F3264-17, ``Standard Specification for Normal Category Aeroplanes Certification,'' without changes, are accepted as means of complying with the airworthiness requirements of part 23, without degrading safety, and within the scope and applicability of the consensus standards. In other cases, the MOCs, while based on ASTM consensus standards, include additional FAA provisions necessary to comply with the airworthiness requirements of part 23, amendment 23-64. Part 23, amendment 23-64, established airworthiness requirements based on the level of safety of [[Page 21851]] amendment 23-63 regulations, except for areas addressing loss of control and icing where the safety level was increased.\3\ Achieving this level of safety through compliance with amendment 23-64--for a given certification project--may require use of additional MOCs beyond those accepted by this document, depending on the details of the specific design. For example, an applicant's design may include features that are customary, but not addressed in the MOCs accepted by this document. Designs may also include features that are innovative and not type certificated previously. In either case, a supplemental MOC beyond those accepted in this document would be required. For example, the MOCs accepted by this document do not contain provisions addressing powered-trim system runaways. Therefore, in order to maintain the level of safety of amendment 23-63 regulations, applicants proposing use of these MOCs for an airplane with a powered-trim system would need to supplement the accepted MOC(s) with additional means for Sec. 23.2300 to demonstrate safe controllability after a probable trim system runaway. To do this, applicants could use the provisions of Sec. 23.677(d), amendment 23-49, or other MOC(s) accepted under Sec. 23.2010. Further information on supplemental MOCs is provided in a part 23 means of compliance summary table and in the Small Airplanes Issues List, which are available on the Small Airplanes--Regulations, Policies & Guidance website.\4\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ Ref 81 FR 96572, December 30, 2016. \4\ See https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/design_approvals/small_airplanes/small_airplanes_regs/. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Means of Compliance Accepted in This Document The following is a list of sections from part 23, amendment 23-64, followed by their corresponding MOC accepted by this document: 23.1457: ASTM F3264-17, section 9.12 23.1459: ASTM F3264-17, section 9.13 23.1529: ASTM F3264-17, section 10.6 Subpart B--Flight 23.2100: ASTM F3264-17, section 5.1 23.2105: ASTM F3264-17, section 5.2 23.2110: ASTM F3264-17, section 5.3 23.2115: ASTM F3264-17, section 5.4 23.2120: ASTM F3264-17, section 5.5 23.2125: ASTM F3264-17, section 5.6 23.2130: ASTM F3264-17, section 5.7 23.2135: ASTM F3264-17, section 5.8, combined with the changes in the following table: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Replace: With: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ASTM F3173/F3173M-17, Sections 4.9.1.1 and 4.9.1.2...

ASTM policy is that a consensus standard should be reviewed in its entirety by the responsible subcommittee and must be balloted for reapproval, revision, or withdrawal, within five years of its last approval date. ASTM reapproves a standard--denoted by the year of reapproval in parentheses (e.g., F2427-05a(2013))--to indicate completion of a review cycle with no technical changes made to the standard. ASTM issues editorial changes--denoted by a superscript epsilon in the standard designation (F3235-17 [egr]\1\)--to correct information that does not change the meaning or intent of a standard. Any MOC accepted by this document that is based on a standard later reapproved or editorially changed is also considered accepted without the need for a NOA. ASTM revises a standard to make changes to its technical content. Revisions to consensus standards serving as the basis for MOC accepted by this document will not be automatically accepted and will require further FAA acceptance in order for the revisions to be an accepted MOC. Availability ASTM Standard F3264-17, ``Standard Specification for Normal Category Aeroplanes Certification,'' is available for online reading at https://www.astm.org/READINGLIBRARY/. ASTM International copyrights these consensus standards and charges the public a fee for service. Individual downloads or reprints of a standard (single or multiple copies, or special compilations and other related technical information) may be obtained through www.astm.org or by contacting ASTM at (610) 832-9585 (phone), (610) 832-9555 (fax), or through [email protected] (email).
