7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for EASA Part-145 Approved organisations located in the USA

   Q: What parts of the EASA Form 9 needs to be completed during an Amendment for a name change?
   A: The FSDO will complete Part 1 and Part 4 of EASA Form 9 for an Amendment due to a name or address change. This requirement will be reflected in the next revision to the MAG Section B III.

   Q: When the Repair Station applies for a name change to the EASA supplement are they required at this time to update from the MIP-G to the MAG? or are they only required to update to the MAG by their continuation/renewal date?
   A: Renewals that are due in 2011 may still be processed under the provisions of the MIP-G. However a PTRS is initiated to document the process. After 2011, renewals must be processed under the provisions of the MAG. All EASA approval holders must have a new supplement in place at the latest by December 31, 2012.
