    The purpose behind an IRFA is to notify small businesses of a 
rulemaking activity that, if finalized, may adversely affect a 
substantial number of small businesses. If a rulemaking is likely to 
have such an impact, we are required to identify alternatives that may 
reduce this impact. To adequately explore these alternatives, we need 
the input of those small businesses. Accordingly, we will consider all 
comments we receive on or before the closing date for comments. 
However, your comments should be limited to the IRFA since the comment 
period on the NPRM has closed. We will consider comments filed late if 
it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay. We may 
change our proposal in light of the comments we receive.
    If you want the FAA to acknowledge receipt of your comments, 
include with your comments a pre-addressed, stamped postcard on which 
the docket number appears. We will stamp the date on the postcard and 
mail it to you.

Proprietary or Confidential Business Information

proprietary or confidential business information. Send or deliver this 
information directly to the person identified in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document. You must mark the 
information that you consider proprietary or confidential. If you send 
the information on a disk or CD-ROM, mark the outside of the disk or 
CD-ROM and also identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the 
specific information that is proprietary or confidential.
    Under 14 CFR 11.35(b), when we are aware of proprietary information 
filed with a comment, we do not place it in the docket. We hold it in a 
separate file to which the public does not have access, and place a 
note in the docket that we have received it. If we receive a request to 
examine or copy this information, we treat it as any other request 
under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). We process such a 
request under the DOT procedures found in 49 CFR part 7.

Discussion

    On October 5, 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled, Production and 
Airworthiness Approvals, Parts Marking, and Miscellaneous Proposals (71 
FR 58915). The extended comment period for this NPRM closed on February 
5, 2007.
    The Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy has asked 
us, on behalf of small businesses that may be adversely affected by the 
proposed rulemaking, to allow additional time for small businesses to 
comment on the Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis associated with 
the NPRM.\1\ The analysis examines whether the proposed rulemaking 
would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. We have determined that the additional comment period 
is consistent with the public interest and that good cause exists for 
taking this action. Accordingly, we are establishing an additional 45-
day comment period on the Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This analysis can also be found in the FAA's Initial 
Regulatory Evaluation, docket  FAA-2006-25877-19.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) establishes ``as a 
principle of regulatory issuance that agencies shall endeavor, 
consistent with the objective of the rule and of applicable statutes, 
to fit regulatory and informational requirements to the scale of the 
business, organizations, and governmental jurisdictions subject to 
regulation.'' To achieve that principle, the Act requires agencies to 
solicit and consider flexible regulatory proposals and to explain the 
rationale for their actions. The Act covers a wide range of small 
entities, including small businesses, not-for-profit organizations and 
small governmental jurisdictions.
    Agencies must perform a review to determine whether a proposed or 
final rule would have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. If the determination is that it would, the 
agency must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis as described in 
the Act.
    However, if an agency determines that a proposed or final rule is 
not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities, section 605(b) of the RFA provides that the 
head of the agency may so certify and a regulatory flexibility analysis 
is not required. The certification must include a statement providing 
the factual basis for this determination, and the reasoning should be 
clear.
    The FAA used the Small Business Administration (SBA) guideline of 
1,500 employees or less per firm as the criterion for the determination 
of a small business in aircraft manufacturing. The FAA also used the 
SBA guideline of 1,000 employees or less per firm as the criterion for 
the determination of a small business in aircraft engine and engine 
parts manufacturing, and/or other aircraft part and auxiliary equipment 
manufacturing.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 13 CFR 121.201, Size Standards Used to Define Small Business 
Concerns, Sectors 31-33 Manufacturing, Subsector 336 Transportation 
Equipment Manufacturing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to determine if the proposed rule will have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, lists of all 
U.S. aircraft, aircraft engine, and other aircraft part and auxiliary 
equipment manufacturers was generated by the FAA Aircraft Certification 
Directorate Offices. Because the list was organized by the type of 
production approval, a firm could be listed more than once (e.g., a 
firm could hold a TSO authorization as well as a PMA). There are close 
to 2,000 records on this list.
    From the lists of manufacturers supplied by the Rotorcraft 
Directorate (ASW) and the Small Airplane Directorate (ACE), the FAA 
took a 10% sample of firms that had already been identified as small 
entities by the Directorates (or 78 firms). From the lists of 
manufacturers supplied by the Transport Airplane Directorate (ANM) and 
the Engine and Propeller Directorate (ANE), the FAA took a 10% sample 
of all firms (or 109 firms) because those two Directorates had not 
identified the firms that were small entities. Hence, the FAA used a 
sample of 187 firms (or approximately 10%) for the analysis.
    Using information provided by the ReferenceUSA Business Database, 
company annual reports, and SEC filings, all businesses with more than 
1,500 employees for aircraft manufacturer and 1,000 employees for other 
manufacturers, and subsidiaries of larger businesses, were excluded 
from the list of small businesses. An example of a subsidiary business 
is Bell Helicopter, which is a subsidiary of Textron, Inc. For the 
remaining businesses, the FAA obtained company revenue information from 
these three sources, when the revenue was made public.
    By applying this methodology to the 10% sample, the FAA verified 
that 109 firms are small entities, 32 firms are large businesses or 
subsidiaries of large businesses or consortiums, and 46 firms could not 
be found in the database and/or had no revenue information available. 
Among the 109 verified small entities, 5 are small PCs, 19 are small 
TSO authorization holders, and 85 are small PMAs.
    The FAA estimates that the average discounted compliance cost for a 
small PC is approximately $582,000, for a small TSO authorization 
holder is approximately $52,000, and for a small PMA is approximately 
$15,000. (Refer to Appendix E.) The annualized cost for a small PC is 
estimated at $82,881 ($582,120 * 0.142378 = $82,881), for a small TSO 
authorization holder is estimated at $7,342 ($51,566 * 0.142378 = 
$7,342), and for a small PMA is estimated at $2,153 ($15,125 * 0.142378 
= $2,153).
    The degree to which small manufacturers can ``afford'' the cost of 
compliance is determined by the availability of financial resources. 
The initial implementation costs of the proposed rule may be financed, 
paid for using existing company assets, or borrowed. As a proxy for the 
firm's ability to afford the cost of compliance, the FAA calculated the 
ratio of the total annualized cost of the proposed rule as a percentage 
of annual revenue. This ratio is a conservative measure as the 
annualized value of the 10-year total compliance cost is divided by one 
year of annual revenue. Appendix F shows that one of the small 
businesses sampled would incur costs greater than 1 percent of their 
annual revenue. Since this is based on a 10% sample, approximately 10 
small businesses would incur costs greater than 1 percent of their 
annual revenue.
    Thus, the FAA believes that approximately 10 small entities would 
incur a substantial economic impact in the form of higher annual costs 
as a result of this proposed rule. Therefore,

[[Page 6970]]

the FAA thinks that the rule may have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities. However, the FAA does not think 
that the implementation of this proposed regulation would cause any of 
these companies to become bankrupt.
    Questions to be addressed in an Initial Regulatory Flexibility 
Analysis (IRFA):
    1. Which small entities will be impacted most? PC holders and TSO 
authorization holders. Should the definition of ``small entity'' be 
redefined for purposes of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA)? 
No.
    2. Are all the required elements of an IRFA present, particularly a 
description of all compliance requirements, and a clear explanation of 
the need for and objectives of the rule? Yes. This Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) proposed rule would make various changes in 
design, production, and identification regulations for products and 
parts. These proposed changes include establishing a single set of 
quality system requirements applicable to all production approval 
holders as well as requiring an airworthiness approval document to be 
issued with all products and parts shipments from a production approval 
holder. The proposed rule would also revise aircraft parts marking 
requirements. For additional information, refer to the Regulatory 
Evaluation for a description of all compliance requirements and further 
explanations of the need for and objectives of the rule.
    3. Have all major cost factors been developed and analyzed? Yes. 
Refer to Appendix E for the cost factors for a small entity by type of 
production approval.
    4. What alternatives will allow the agency to accomplish its 
regulatory objectives while minimizing the impact on small entities?
    Alternative 1: No Action.
    This alternative would have no impact on small entities. The FAA 
decided to discard this alternative because it would not enhance 
safety. Among other things, the FAA proposes to enhance safety by (1) 
establishing a single set of quality system requirements applicable to 
all production approval holders, (2) requiring an airworthiness 
approval document to be issued with all products and parts shipments 
from a production approval holder, and (3) revising aircraft parts 
marking requirements.
    Alternative 2: Partial Proposed Rule.
    The partial proposed rule would be the complete proposed rule with 
the exception of the requirement for airworthiness approval tags (Form 
8130-3) with all part or product sales/shipments. This requirement is 
the most costly proposal for the manufacturers. If this were not 
included in the proposed rule, then there would not be a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    Alternative 3: Complete Proposed Rule.
    The complete proposed rule is more costly for small entities, but 
the FAA recommends proceeding with the complete proposed rule instead 
of Alternative 2 for several reasons.
     The Form 8130-3 is the recognized industry standard 
document that provides legal proof that the part was produced by an 
FAA-approved source and is airworthy. Use of the Form in this way 
parallels what is done in Europe with the EASA Form One.
     A common, easily recognizable Form is needed with all new 
parts shipments so that the receiver can easily verify the 
airworthiness of the part and authority of the producer.
     Most non-US aviation agencies demand a completed Form 
8130-3 for parts imported into their country. The FAA recommends it for 
domestic use also because it makes sense to use a common form for all 
shipments, rather than different forms for domestic versus export 
shipments.
     Legal enforcement for misuse--since the 8130-3 is a 
Federal form, misuse of the Form is a Federal offense.
    5. Competitiveness Analysis:
    This rule is a comprehensive rule that impacts all production 
approval holders including PC holders, TSO authorization holders, and 
PMA holders. This covers a wide variety of businesses (e.g., balloons, 
gliders, helicopters, small airplanes, large transport category 
airplanes, engine manufacturers, propeller manufacturers, seat belt 
manufacturers, seat manufacturers, and so forth). Market share within 
the industry probably would not change due to this proposed regulation, 
and the industry itself would not lose market share to other products 
or services.
    6. Business closure analysis:
    The FAA thinks that there would not be any small businesses that 
close due to the proposed regulation because there were only about 10 
companies that would have costs that exceed one percent of revenues, 
more specifically, their costs would be approximately 1.1% of revenues. 
The FAA estimates that these costs are not high enough to force 
companies into bankruptcy.
    7. Disproportionality Analysis:
    The table below shows the differences in the impacts on small 
businesses as compared to large ones.

    Large PCs appear to have lower costs on these requirements because 
the requirements are already current practice. Large TSOAs and large 
PMAs have higher costs on these requirements compared to their 
respective smaller entities. The FAA estimates that there would be no 
significant change in market share due to this proposed regulation.
