Background

    FAA Order 8100.14 was first published to coincide with the date the 
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began operations in September 
2003. This order provided interim policy and guidance on how to 
interact with the newly established EASA and the National Aviation 
Authorities of European Union Member States for the purposes of type, 
production, and airworthiness certification, and continued 
airworthiness of aeronautical products.
    Over the past two years EASA moved its headquarters, expanded its 
infrastructure, and developed and implemented several internal 
policies. EASA's growth and resulting process changes have affected the 
interaction between EASA and the FAA, resulting in the first revision 
of Order 8100.14.
