Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-03-14 for 
all Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model A340-
200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. AD 2014-03-14 required 
removing bulb-type maintenance lights; installing a drain mast on 
certain airplanes; and installing muffs on connecting bleed elements on 
certain airplanes. For certain Model A340-200 and -300 series 
airplanes, this new AD also requires replacing certain insulation 
sleeves with new insulation sleeves. This AD results from fuel system 
reviews conducted by the airplane manufacturer. We are issuing this AD 
to prevent ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination 
with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and 
consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective May 31, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 31, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to supersede AD 2014-03-14, Amendment 39-17752 (79 FR 9382, 
February 19, 2014) (``AD 2014-03-14''). AD 2014-03-14 applied to all 
Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model A340-200, -
300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal 
Register on December 11, 2015 (80 FR 76875) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM 
was prompted by fuel system reviews conducted by the airplane 
manufacturer. The NPRM proposed to continue to require removing bulb-
type maintenance lights; installing a drain mast on certain airplanes; 
and installing muffs on connecting bleed elements on certain airplanes. 
The NPRM also proposed to require, for certain Model A340-200 and -300 
series airplanes, replacing certain insulation sleeves with new 
insulation sleeves. We are issuing this AD to prevent ignition sources 
inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, 
could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the 
airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0148, dated June 13, 2014 (referred to 
after this the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the 
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A330-200 
and -300 series airplanes, and Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 
series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    [Subsequent to accidents involving Fuel Tank Systems in flight 
and on ground] * * *, the FAA published Special Federal Aviation 
Regulation (SFAR) 88 [(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001)], and the Joint 
Aviation Authorities (JAA) published Interim Policy INT/POL/25/12.
    In response to these regulations, a global design review 
conducted by Airbus on the A330 and A340 type design Section 19, 
which is a flammable fluid leakage zone and a zone adjacent to a 
fuel tank, highlighted potential deviations. The specific identified 
cases were that in-flight fuel drainage is insufficient on A340-500/
-600 aeroplanes, maintenance lights are not qualified explosion-
proof, and hot surfaces may exist on bleed systems during normal/
failure operations.

[[Page 24460]]

    This condition, if not corrected, in combination with a fuel 
leak generating flammable vapours in the area, could result in a 
fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, Airbus developed various 
modifications of the aeroplane, to be embodied in service.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD 2013-0033 [http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2013-0033_superseded.pdf/AD_2013-0033_1, which corresponds to FAA AD 2014-03-14, Amendment 39-17752 
(79 FR 9382, February 19, 2014)] to require removal of bulb type 
maintenance lights for all aeroplanes, installation of a drain mast 
between Frame (FR) 80 and FR83 for A340-500/-600 aeroplanes, and 
installation of muffs on connecting bleed elements to minimize hot 
surfaces on A330 and A340-200/-300 aeroplanes.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, it was reported that, for A340-
200/-300 aeroplanes, accomplishment instructions in the applicable 
Airbus Service Bulletins (SB) for aeroplanes in Configurations 002 
and 005 were detailed in Configuration 003 and, conversely, 
accomplishment instructions for aeroplane[s] in Configuration 003 
were detailed in Configurations 002 and 005. This can lead to 
incorrect installation of some insulation sleeves on the Auxiliary 
Power Unit (APU) Air Bleed Ducts between Frame 83 and 84 for 
configurations 002, 003 and 005 as per Airbus SB A340-36-4035 at 
original issue. Prompted by this finding, Airbus revised the 
affected SB with additional work required for aeroplanes included in 
configurations 002, 003 and 005 that were modified using the 
original issue of the SB.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the 
requirements of EASA AD 2013-0033, which is superseded, incorporates 
reference to the corrected Airbus SB A340-36-4035 Revision 01 and 
requires the additional work as specified in Airbus SB A340-36-4035 
Revision 01 for aeroplanes already modified per the original SB 
A340-36-4035.

    The additional work is replacing the insulation sleeves between 
FR83 and FR84 with new insulation sleeves. 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-2015-6547.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of 
the cost to the public.

Change Made To This Final Rule: Updated Service Information

    Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A330-36-3038, Revision 01, dated 
May 11, 2015. The additional work specified in this service information 
is minimal and consists of modifying the routing of a harness. This 
additional work is not required for airplanes on which the actions 
previously required by paragraph (h) of AD 2014-03-14 have been done 
before the effective date of this AD. Paragraph (h) of this AD retains 
the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD 2014-03-14. We have revised 
paragraph (h)(1) of this AD to specify Airbus Service Bulletin A330-36-
3038, Revision 01, dated May 11, 2015, as an appropriate source of 
service information.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and 
the public interest require adopting this AD with the change described 
previously and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these 
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued the following service bulletins.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-33-3041, Revision 02, dated 
November 7, 2013, which describes procedures for removing bulb-type 
maintenance lights.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-36-3037, Revision 02, 
including Appendix 01, dated April 7, 2014, which describes procedures 
for modifying the bleed leak detection loop of the auxiliary power unit 
(APU).
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-36-3038, Revision 01, dated 
May 11, 2015, which describes procedures for bleed leak detection loop 
modification of the APU.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-33-4026, Revision 02, dated 
November 7, 2013, which describes procedures for removing bulb-type 
maintenance lights.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-36-4033, Revision 02, 
including Appendix 01, dated May 19, 2014, which describes procedures 
for bleed leak detection loop modification of the APU.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-36-4035, including Appendix 
01, dated September 18, 2012, which describes procedures for installing 
muffs on connecting bleed elements on certain airplanes.
    This service information is reasonably available because the 
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of 
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 43 Model A330 series airplanes of 
U.S. registry. There are no Model A340 airplanes registered in the U.S.
    The actions required by AD 2014-03-14, and retained in this AD take 
about 21 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per 
work-hour. Required parts cost about $5,219 per product. Based on these 
figures, the estimated cost of the actions that were required by AD 
2014-03-14 is $7,004 per product.
    We also estimate that it will take about 6 work-hours per product 
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor 
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $279 per 
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on 
U.S. operators to be $33,927, or $789 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.

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 that 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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and

[[Page 24461]]

    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.
