Procedures for Adding and Suspending the Acceptance of Findings and Approvals Made by Specific Aviation Authorities. (a) EASA shall notify the FAA of a proposed addition of the acceptance of production and/or airworthiness findings or approvals made by an AA, as defined in the Appendix to Annex 1 of the Agreement. EASA and the FAA shall consult on the basis for this proposal. EASA shall provide the opportunity for FAA’s participation in its standardization audit or the FAA and EASA shall conduct a joint assessment. In exceptional cases, if a joint assessment is not practical and EASA cannot change its plans to accommodate FAA’s participation, the FAA shall conduct its own assessment of the AA, with an EASA observer. The FAA, following the applicable assessment, shall inform EASA of concurrence or non-concurrence with EASA’s recommendation. If the FAA concurs with a recommendation to accept production and/or airworthiness findings or approvals, the Certification Oversight Board shall make a recommendation to the Bilateral Oversight Board to revise the Appendix to Annex 1 of the Agreement accordingly, or otherwise report its disagreement.
