12360 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 45 / Monday, March 9, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

and effective September 15, 2014, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This proposed 

rulemaking is promulgated under the 

authority described in Subtitle VII, Part, 

A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would amend Class E airspace at 

Weedon Field Airport, Eufaula, AL. 

This proposal would be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM); 

reopening of comment period. 

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier 

proposed Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

for certain Airbus Model A330 series 

airplanes. The NPRM proposed to 

require revising the maintenance 

program or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate certain 

maintenance requirements and 

airworthiness limitations. The NPRM 

was prompted by a determination that 

more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and airworthiness 

limitations are necessary. This action 

revises the NPRM by proposing to 

supersede AD 2007–05–12, AD 2009– 

18–20, and AD 2010–15–02 in addition 

to those ADs already identified in the 

NPRM, as well as to require more 

restrictive limitations and to add Airbus 

Model A330–323 airplanes to the 

applicability. We are proposing this 

supplemental NPRM (SNPRM) to 

address the aging effects of aircraft 

systems. Such aging effects could 

change the characteristics of those 

systems, which, in isolation or in 

combination with one or more other 

specific failures or events, could result 

in failure of certain life limited parts, 

which could reduce the structural 

integrity of the airplane or reduce the 

controllability of the airplane. Since 

these actions impose an additional 

burden over those proposed in the 

NPRM, we are reopening the comment 

period to allow the public the chance to 

comment on these proposed changes. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this SNPRM by April 23, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Discussion 

On February 22, 2007, we issued AD 

2007–05–12, Amendment 39–14973 (72 

FR 10057, March 7, 2007), for certain 

Airbus Model A330, A340–200, and 

A340–300 series airplanes. AD 2007– 

05–12 requires inspecting to determine 

the part number of certain spoiler servo 

controls (SSCs) and replacing any 

affected SSC with a new SSC. AD 2007– 

05–12 resulted from a determination of 

a new load duty cycle defined by the 

manufacturer. We issued AD 2007–05– 

12 to prevent fatigue cracking of certain 

SSCs, which could result in hydraulic 

leakage and consequent loss of SSC 

function and loss of the associated 

hydraulic system. These conditions 

could affect all three hydraulic systems, 

which could result in reduced 

controllability of the airplane. 

On August 26, 2009, we issued AD 

2009–18–20, Amendment 39–16017 (74 

FR 46313, September 9, 2009), for 

certain Airbus Model A330–300, A340– 

200, and A340–300 series airplanes. AD 

2009–18–20 requires identification and 

modification of certain SSCs. AD 2009– 

18–20 resulted from a report of a failure 

of a SSC whose maintenance cover had 

ruptured due to pressure pulse fatigue. 

We issued AD 2009–18–20 to prevent 

the loss of a hydraulic system due to 

leakage; loss of three hydraulic systems 

could result in reduced controllability 

of the airplane. 

On June 30, 2010, we issued AD 

2010–15–02, Amendment 39–16368 (75 

FR 42589, July 22, 2010), for certain 

Airbus Model A330–200 and –300 series 

airplanes, and A340–200, –300, –500, 

and –600 series airplanes. AD 2010–15– 

02 requires repetitive detailed visual 

inspections for corrosion and wear 

detection of the input gear boxes 

(IPGBs) and down drive shafts (DDSs) 

on the flap tracks on both wings, and 

corrective actions, as applicable. AD 

2010–15–02 resulted from reports of 

corrosion and damage on the DDSs and 

IPGBs on the flap tracks. We issued AD 

2010–15–02 to detect and correct 

corrosion and wear due to absence of 

grease in the spline interfaces which 

could cause DDS disconnection and 

result in a free movable flap surface, 

potentially leading to aircraft 

asymmetry or even flap detachment, 

and reduce the ability of the flightcrew 

to maintain the safe flight and landing 

of the airplane. 

We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain Airbus Model A330 

series airplanes. The NPRM published 

in the Federal Register on November 7, 

2013 (78 FR 66861). 

The NPRM proposed to supersede AD 

2003–14–11, Amendment 39–13230 (68 

FR 41521, July 14, 2003); AD 2004–11– 

08, Amendment 39–13654 (69 FR 

31874, June 8, 2004); AD 2004–13–25, 

Amendment 39–13707 (69 FR 41394, 

July 9, 2004); AD 2004–18–14, 

Amendment 39–13793 (69 FR 55326, 

September 14, 2004); AD 2008–06–07, 

Amendment 39–15419 (73 FR 13103, 

March 12, 2008; corrected April 15, 

2008 (73 FR 20367)); and AD 2012–04– 

07, Amendment 39–16963 (77 FR 

12989, March 5, 2012) to require actions 

intended to address the aging effects of 

aircraft systems. Such aging effects 

could change the characteristics of those 

systems, which, in isolation or in 

combination with one or more other 

specific failures or events, could result 

in failure of certain life limited parts, 

which could reduce the structural 

integrity of the airplane or reduce the 

controllability of the airplane. 

Actions Since the NPRM (78 FR 66861, 

November 7, 2013) Was Issued 

Since we issued the NPRM (78 FR 

66861, November 7, 2013), we received 

Airbus A330 Airworthiness Limitations 

Section (ALS) Part 4—Aging Systems 

Maintenance, Revision 04, dated August 

27, 2013, and Airbus A330 ALS Part 4— 

Aging Systems Maintenance (ASM), 

Variation 4.1 and Variation 4.2, both 

dated July 23, 2014, which contain more 

restrictive maintenance requirements. 

We determined that more restrictive 

maintenance requirements and 

airworthiness limitations are necessary 

and that Airbus Model A330–323 

airplanes need to be added to the 

applicability of this AD in order to 

address the unsafe condition. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, also issued new EASA AD 2013– 

0268, dated November 7, 2013 (referred 

to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

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

condition on certain Airbus Model A330 

series airplanes. EASA AD 2013–0268 

supersedes and retains the requirements 

of four EASA ADs and requires 

accomplishment of the actions specified 

in Airbus A330 Airworthiness 

Limitations Section (ALS) Part 4—Aging 

Systems Maintenance, Revision 04, 

dated August 27, 2013. The MCAI 

states: 

The airworthiness limitations for Airbus 

aeroplanes are currently published in 

Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) 

documents. 

The airworthiness limitations applicable to 

the Ageing Systems Maintenance (ASM) are 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
12362 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 45 / Monday, March 9, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

given in Airbus A330 ALS Part 4, which is 

approved by EASA. 

Revision 04 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 4 

introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with these 

instructions could result in an unsafe 

condition. 

For the reason described above, this 

[EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA 

AD 2012–0020, which is superseded, and 

requires accomplishment of the actions 

specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 4 at 

Revision 04. 

In addition, this [EASA] AD also 

supersedes EASA AD 2006–0159, EASA AD 

2008–0026, and EASA AD 2008–0160 [which 

correspond to FAA ADs 2007–05–12, 

Amendment 39–14973 (72 FR 10057, March 

7, 2007); 2010–15–02, Amendment 39–16368 

(75 FR 42589, July 22, 2010); and 2009–18– 

20, Amendment 39–16017 (74 FR 46313, 

September 9, 2009), respectively], whose 

requirements applicable to A330 aeroplanes 

have been transferred into Airbus A330 ALS 

Part 4. 

The unsafe condition is the aging effects 

of aircraft systems. Such aging effects 

could change the characteristics of those 

systems, which, in isolation or in 

combination with one or more other 

specific failures or events, could result 

in failure of certain life limited parts, 

which could reduce the structural 

integrity of the airplane or reduce the 

controllability of the airplane. You may

and locating it in Docket No. FAA–

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this proposed 

AD. We have considered the comment 

received on the NPRM (78 FR 66861, 

November 7, 2013) and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Add Airplane Model to the 

Applicability 

Delta Airlines (Delta) requested that 

we add Airbus Model A330–323 

airplanes to paragraph (c), 

‘‘Applicability,’’ of the NPRM (78 FR 

66861, November 7, 2013). 

We agree. Airbus Model A330–323 

airplanes were erroneously omitted 

from the applicability. We have revised 

the applicability of this proposed AD to 

add these airplanes. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This SNPRM 

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 these same 

type designs. 

This proposed AD would retain none 

of the requirements of the following 

ADs: 

• AD 2007–05–12, Amendment 39– 

14973 (72 FR 10057, March 7, 2007); 

• AD 2009–18–20, Amendment 39– 

16017 (74 FR 46313, September 9, 

2009); and 

• AD 2010–15–02, Amendment 39– 

16368 (75 FR 42589, July 22, 2010). 

This proposed AD would require 

implementation of certain maintenance 

requirements and airworthiness 

limitations and adding Airbus Model 

A330–323 airplanes to the applicability. 

Certain changes described above expand 

the scope of the NPRM (78 FR 66861, 

November 7, 2013). As a result, we have 

determined that it is necessary to reopen 

the comment period to provide 

additional opportunity for the public to 

comment on this SNPRM. 

Differences Between This SNPRM and 

the Service Information 

This SNPRM proposes to incorporate 

Airbus A330 ALS Part 4—Aging 

Systems Maintenance, Revision 04, 

dated August 27, 2013, including the 

compliance times for the actions. 

However, the compliance times for 

certain initial actions are different from 

those specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 

4—Aging Systems Maintenance, 

Revision 04, dated August 27, 2013, 

because the actions and associated 

compliance times are required by AD 

2009–18–20, Amendment 39–16017 (74 

FR 46313, September 9, 2009). 

Therefore, the initial compliance time 

for these actions is relative to the 

effective date of the applicable 

superseded AD, as specified in 

paragraphs (h)(5), (h)(6), and (h)(7) of 

this SNPRM. 

The MCAI specifies that if there are 

findings from the ALS inspection tasks, 

corrective actions must be accomplished 

in accordance with Airbus maintenance 

documentation. However, this AD does 

not include that requirement. Operators 

of U.S.-registered airplanes are required 

by general airworthiness and 

operational regulations to perform 

maintenance using methods that are 

acceptable to the FAA. We consider 

those methods to be adequate to address 

any corrective actions necessitated by 

the findings of ALS inspections required 

by this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this SNPRM affects 

79 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate that it would take about 

2 work-hours per product to comply 

with the new basic requirements of this 

SNPRM. The average labor rate is $85 

per work-hour. Required parts would 

cost $0 per product. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this 

SNPRM on U.S. operators to be $13,430, 

or $170 per product. 

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: 

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. 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 45 / Monday, March 9, 2015 / Proposed Rules 12363 

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.

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 05, Time Limits/Maintenance 

Checks. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a determination 

that more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and airworthiness limitations 

are necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

address the aging effects of aircraft systems. 

Such aging effects could change the 

characteristics of those systems, which, in 

isolation or in combination with one or more 

other specific failures or events, could result 

in failure of certain life limited parts, which 

could reduce the structural integrity of the 

airplane or reduce the controllability of the 

airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Maintenance Program Revision and 

Actions
