AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013–10– 

06, for all Airbus Model A330–200 

Freighter, A330–200, A330–300, A340– 

200, A340–300, A340–500, and A340– 

600 series airplanes. AD 2013–10–06 

currently requires an inspection to 

identify the installed windshields, and 

replacement of any affected windshield. 

Since we issued AD 2013–10–06, the 

manufacturer has identified a new batch 

of affected windshield parts on the 

airplane. This proposed AD would 

expand the inspection area to 15 

additional windshields’ serial numbers. 

We are proposing this AD to prevent 

significantly increased workload for the 

flightcrew, which could, under some 

flight phases and/or circumstances, 

constitute an unsafe condition. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 27, 2014.

Discussion 

On May 16, 2013, we issued AD 

2013–10–06, Amendment 39–17459 (78 

FR 32347, May 30, 2013). AD 2013–10– 

06 requires actions intended to address 

an unsafe condition on all Airbus Model 

A330–200 Freighter, A330–200, A330– 

300, A340–200, A340–300, A340–500, 

and A340–600 series airplanes. 

Since we issued AD 2013–10–06, 

Amendment 39–17459 (78 FR 32347, 

May 30, 2013), the manufacturer has 

identified a new batch of windshield 

parts that are subject to the identified 

unsafe condition. The European 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which 

is the Technical Agent for the Member 

States of the European Community, has 

issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 

2013–0256, dated October 21, 2013 

(referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for all Airbus Model A330– 

201, –202, –203, –223, –223F, –243, 

–243F, –301, –302, –303, –321, –322, 

–323, –341, –342, and –343 airplanes; 

and Model A340–211, –212, –213, –311, 

–312, –313, –541, and –642 airplanes. 

The MCAI states: 

Several operators reported cases of burning 

smell and/or smoke in the cockpit during 

cruise phase leading in some cases to 

diversion. Findings showed that the cause of 

these events is the burning of the SaintGobain Sully (SGS) windshield connector 

terminal block. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

significantly increase the flight crew 

workload which would, under some flight 

phases and/or circumstances constitute an 

unsafe condition. 

To address this unsafe condition, Airbus 

published 3 different Service Bulletins (SB) 

and EASA issued AD 2011–0242 (later 

corrected) which required the identification 

of the installed windshields and replacement 

of the affected part. 

Since issuance of that [EASA] AD, a new 

occurrence in service led Airbus to identify 

a new batch of affected parts. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA 

AD 2011–0242, which is superseded, and 

requires identification and replacement of 

the additionally identified windshields. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2014– 

0192. 

Relevant Service Information 

Airbus has issued the following 

service information: 

• Airbus Service Bulletin A330–56– 

3009, Revision 03, including 

Appendixes 01 and 02, dated August 1, 

2013; 

• Airbus Service Bulletin A340–56– 

4008, Revision 02, including 

Appendixes 01 and 02, dated August 1, 

2013; and 

• Airbus Service Bulletin A340–56– 

5002, Revision 02, including 

Appendixes 01 and 02, dated August 1, 

2013. 

The actions described in this service 

information are intended to correct the 

unsafe condition identified in the 

MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 60 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The actions that are required by AD 

2013–10–06, Amendment 39–17459 (78 

FR 32347, May 30, 2013), and retained 

in this proposed AD take about 2 workhours per product, at an average labor 

rate of $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts cost about $0 per product. Based 

on these figures, the estimated cost of 

the actions that were required by AD 

2013–10–06 is $170 per product. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 2 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $0 per product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of this proposed AD on U.S. 

operators to be $10,200, or $170 per 

product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions would take 

about 10 work-hours and require parts 

costing $0, for a cost of $850 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need this action. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this proposed AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

individuals. We do not control warranty 

coverage for affected individuals. As a 

result, we have included all costs in our 

cost estimate. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. ‘‘Subtitle VII: 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

19550 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 68 / Wednesday, April 9, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

Aviation Programs,’’ describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: 

General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We determined that this proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify this proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 

3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in 

Alaska; and 

4. Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
