Abstract
The FAA announces the availability of recommendations from the CPR IAWG. In December of 2020, Congress passed the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act (ACSAA). Section 117 of the ACSAA required the FAA to form an international team to address areas of concern related to the CPR. The CPR IAWG has recommended specific areas where engagement with the public would be beneficial and broaden the scope of the discussions to a wider audience. The FAA plans to solicit public input at a public meeting which will be announced in a future notice.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Availability of Recommendations From the Changed
Product Rule (CPR) International Authorities Working Group (IAWG)
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA announces the availability of recommendations from the
CPR IAWG. In December of 2020, Congress passed the Aircraft
Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act (ACSAA). Section 117 of
the ACSAA required the FAA to form an international team to address
areas of concern related to the CPR. The CPR IAWG has recommended
specific areas where engagement with the public would be beneficial and
broaden the scope of the discussions to a wider audience. The FAA plans
to solicit public input at a public meeting which will be announced in
a future notice.
ADDRESSES: The CPR IAWG recommendations are available on the FAA's
Information for Applicants and Design Approval Holders web page at
<a href="https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/design_approvals/dah">https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/design_approvals/dah</a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sue McCormick, Strategic Policy for
Systems Standards, Aviation Safety, email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#ba8397fbece997fefbf297f3d4dcd5fadcdbdb94ddd5cc"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3a03177b6c69177e7b721773545c557a5c5b5b145d554c">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 117 of the Aircraft Certification
Safety and Accountability Act (ACSAA) of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-260)
directed the FAA to exercise leadership in the creation of
international policies and standards related to the review and
reevaluation of the issuance of amended type certificates. The FAA was
directed to examine and address recommendations from the entities
listed in Section 121(c) \1\ of the ACSAA related to the issuance of
amended type certificates; to reevaluate existing assumptions and
practices inherent in the amended type certificate process and assess
whether such assumptions and practices are valid; and ensure, to the
greatest extent practicable, that Federal Regulations related to the
issuance of amended type certificates are harmonized with the
regulations of the other international states of design. The FAA
initiated the CPR IAWG in June of 2021 and conducted a comprehensive
study of the CPR process, including regulatory requirements (14 CFR
21.19 and 21.101) and guidance material, with international authorities
\2\ in parallel with an independent study per section 136 of the ACSAA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The National Transportation Safety Board, the Joint
Authorities Technical Review, the Inspector General of the
Department of Transportation, the Safety Oversight and Certification
Advisory Committee, or any special committee thereof, made
recommendations in response to the accident of Lion Air flight 610
on October 29, 2018 and the accident of Ethiopian Airlines flight
302 on March 10, 2019.
\2\ European Union Aviation Safety Agency, National Civil
Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC), Transport Canada, Japan Civil
Aviation Board, and Civil Aviation Administration of China.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The IAWG, after extensive in-depth discussions and research,
proposes both rulemaking and guidance improvements for the CPR process.
The IAWG identified areas where additional review is needed in order to
achieve alignment to the fullest extent possible. The IAWG also
recommends engagement with industry in specific areas for advice and
additional information.
The FAA encourages industry review of the CRP IAWG recommendations.
The FAA will be seeking public input and comments during a forthcoming
public meeting regarding the recommendations.
Issued in Washington, DC, on December 12, 2022.
Victor Wicklund,
Acting Director, Policy and Innovation Division, Aircraft Certification
Service.
