The agency determined that an extension is appropriate to allow interested parties additional time to analyze the proposal and prepare comments.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a mechanical deformation found on the protective cover of the ‘‘SHEAR’’ control pushbutton installed on a copilot collective stick. This proposed AD would require modification of the helicopter by replacing the protective cover and re￾identifying the part number (P/N) of the pilot and copilot collective sticks. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 26, 2020. ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2020–0214; Product Identifier 2018–SW–039–AD’’ at the beginning of your comments.

The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM. Discussion The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (previously European Aviation Safety Agency) (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD No. 2018–0106, dated May 10, 2018 (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters. EASA advises that mechanical deformation was found on the protective cover of the ‘‘SHEAR’’ control pushbutton on a copilot collective stick. The root cause for the deformation was identified as incorrect handling. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to unintended shearing of the hoist cable, possibly resulting in loss of a hoisted load or person(s). To address this unsafe condition, the EASA AD requires replacement of the protective cover of the ‘‘SHEAR’’ control pushbutton and re-identification (new AH P/N 704A41110149, new NSE MP/N 00014100AA) of the pilot and copilot collective sticks. The EASA AD also prohibits installation of the old design protective cover. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at https:// www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2020– 0214.
