<body>
<p>This action would allow the FAA to accept certifying statements for validating aircraft from Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) issuing the type certificate. This action would relieve the burden of needlessly duplicating the certification process from the applicant. &nbsp;It would also reinforce reinforcing the bilateral agreement with a foreign CAA. The intended effect of this action is to reinforce the "authority-to-authority" relationship upon which type validation principles (TVP) effectiveness relies. TVP spares the applicant needless duplication of the certification process, while ensuring continued operational safety.</p>
