View Rule

This rulemaking would revise regulations that impose a duplicative requirement on foreign applicants for type certificates of import products. Existing FAA regulations require all applicants to submit two documents: a compliance listing to document the means of compliance with applicable standards; and a corresponding compliance certification from the applicant certifying that all the requirements in the certification basis have been complied with. These compliance statements are duplicative and redundant to the certifying statement that the FAA already requires from the foreign civil aviation authority of the country or jurisdiction having State of Design responsibility for the design approval holder of the product. This rulemaking would no longer require either the compliance listing or the accompanying compliance certification from the foreign applicant.
