81434 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 28, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

A manufacturing quality non-conformity 

has been identified that resulted in the 

under-crimping of ring tags on a batch of Intank Fuel Harnesses. 

The affected ring tags are used to join 

individual electrical wires in the Wing Tank 

harness installations to in-tank equipment on 

QT [Tank Quantity] circuit. 

The failure of a one or more ring tag crimp 

connections may result in the disconnection 

of the electrical wire with a possibility that 

the loose wire ends can contact the tank 

structure. When combined with a loss of 

equipment surface protection this constitutes 

a potential source of ignition in a fuel tank 

and consequent danger of fire or explosion. 

* * * * * 

This AD requires actions that are 

intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

January 12, 2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of January 12, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2010–0027, 

dated February 19, 2010 (referred to 

after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

A manufacturing quality non-conformity 

has been identified that resulted in the 

under-crimping of ring tags on a batch of Intank Fuel Harnesses. 

The affected ring tags are used to join 

individual electrical wires in the Wing Tank 

harness installations to in-tank equipment on 

QT [Tank Quantity] circuit. 

The failure of a one or more ring tag crimp 

connections may result in the disconnection 

of the electrical wire with a possibility that 

the loose wire ends can contact the tank 

structure. When combined with a loss of 

equipment surface protection this constitutes 

a potential source of ignition in a fuel tank 

and consequent danger of fire or explosion. 

This AD requires a one-time [special 

detailed] inspection to check the integrity of 

the ring tags and performance of corrective 

actions as necessary. 

The corrective actions include 

performing a manual pull test to 

confirm the integrity of the ring tag, and 

if necessary, replacing the ring tag with 

a new ring tag. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Airbus has issued Service Bulletin 

A320–28A1173, dated October 21, 2008. 

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 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 issuing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

There are no products of this type 

currently registered in the United States. 

However, this rule is necessary to 

ensure that the described unsafe 

condition is addressed if any of these 

products are placed on the U.S. Register 

in the future. 

Differences Between the AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. 

Any such differences are highlighted in 

a Note within the AD. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

Since there are currently no domestic 

operators of these airplane models with 

these serial numbers, notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

issuing this AD are unnecessary. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not precede it by notice and 

opportunity for public comment. We 

invite you to send any written relevant 

data, views, or arguments about this AD. 

Send your comments to an address 

listed under the ADDRESSES section. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2010–1201; 

Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–081– 

AD’’ at the beginning of your comments. 

We specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 28, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 81435 

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. 

Regulatory Findings 

We determined that this AD will not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

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 AD: 

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); and 

3. 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Adoption of the Amendment 

■ Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

2010–26–12 Airbus: Amendment 39–16551. 

Docket No. FAA–2010–1201; Directorate 

Identifier 2010–NM–081–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective January 12, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A321– 

211, –212, –231, and –232 airplanes, 

certificated in any category, with 

manufacturer serial numbers 3051, 3067, 

3070, 3075, 3081, 3098, 3106, 3112, 3120, 

3126, and 3130. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 28: Fuel. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continued airworthiness 

information (MCAI) states: 

A manufacturing quality non-conformity 

has been identified that resulted in the 

under-crimping of ring tags on a batch of Intank Fuel Harnesses. 

The affected ring tags are used to join 

individual electrical wires in the Wing Tank 

harness installations to in-tank equipment on 

QT circuit. 

The failure of a one or more ring tag crimp 

connections may result in the disconnection 

of the electrical wire with a possibility that 

the loose wire ends can contact the tank 

structure. When combined with a loss of 

equipment surface protection this constitutes 

a potential source of ignition in a fuel tank 

and consequent danger of fire or explosion. 

* * * * * 

Compliance 

(f) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Actions 

(g) Within 600 flight hours after the 

effective date of this AD, inspect the ring tags 

of the wing tank harnesses (QT circuit) for 

integrity and do all applicable corrective 

actions, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus 

Service Bulletin A320–28A1173, dated 

October 21, 2008.

Class E airspace for Mansfield, OH, 

creating additional controlled airspace 

at Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport (75 

FR 64965) Docket No. FAA–2010–0771. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9U dated 

August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to accommodate SIAPs at Mansfield 

Lahm Regional Airport, Mansfield, OH. 

This action is necessary for the safety 

and management of IFR operations at 

the airport. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 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 

regulation is within the scope of that 

authority as it amends controlled 

airspace at Mansfield Lahm Regional 

Airport, Mansfield, OH.
