DOT/FAA RIN: 2120-AL13 Publication ID: Spring 2022 
Title: Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC) 
Abstract: This rulemaking would revise the rules for airworthiness directives (AD) to expand who has the authority to approve an alternative method of compliance (AMOC). The current regulations limit this authority to the manager of the office identified in the AD. The rulemaking would expand the authority to include any entity identified in the AD. This would reduce the number of AMOCs required to be approved by the FAA and would expedite certain AMOC approvals that do need FAA approval.
