SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directives (AD) 2006–21– 

08, AD 2007–14–01, AD 2008–25–02, 

AD 2010–04–09, AD 2011–01–02, and 

AD 2012–16–05, for certain Airbus 

Model A330 and A340 series airplanes. 

AD 2006–21–08, AD 2007–14–01, AD 

2008–25–02, AD 2010–04–09, AD 2011– 

01–02, and AD 2012–16–05 required 

revising the maintenance program or 

inspection program to incorporate 

certain maintenance requirements and 

airworthiness limitations for fuel tank 

systems. This new AD requires a new 

maintenance or inspection program 

revision. This AD was prompted by a 

determination that more restrictive 

maintenance requirements and 

airworthiness limitations are necessary. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent the 

potential of 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 becomes effective 

September 25, 2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of September 25, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede the ADs listed 

below: 

• Airworthiness Directive AD 2006– 

21–08, Amendment 39–14793 (71 FR 

61639, October 19, 2006); 

• AD 2007–14–01, Amendment 39– 

15123 (72 FR 38006, July 12, 2007); 

• AD 2008–25–02, Amendment 39– 

15760 (73 FR 75307, December 11, 

2008); 

• AD 2010–04–09, Amendment 39– 

16202 (75 FR 7940, February 23, 2010; 

corrected March 3, 2010 (75 FR 9515)); 

• AD 2011–01–02, Amendment 39– 

16555 (76 FR 432, January 5, 2011); and 

• AD 2012–16–05, Amendment 39– 

17152 (77 FR 48425, August 14, 2012). 

Airworthiness Directives AD 2006– 

21–08, AD 2007–14–01, AD 2008–25– 

02, AD 2010–04–09, AD 2011–01–02, 

and AD 2012–16–05 applied to certain 

Airbus Model A330 and A340 series 

airplanes. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on February 27, 2014 

(79 FR 11019). 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2012–0168, 

dated August 31, 2012 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

certain Airbus Model A330 and A340 

series airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Prompted by an accident [involving a fuel 

tank system explosion in flight] * * * 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. The design review conducted Airbus to 

develop Fuel Airworthiness Limitations 

(FAL) for Airbus on A330 and A340 

aeroplanes in response to these regulations. 

The FAL* * * have been approved by the 

European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA)* * *ALS Part 5. 

Failure to comply with items as identified 

in Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 5 could 

result in a fuel tank explosion and 

consequent loss of the aeroplane. 

To address this condition, EASA issued: 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
49450 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 162 / Thursday, August 21, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

EASA AD 2007–0023, dated January 25, 

2007 [http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2007- 

0023], which corresponds to FAA AD 2007– 

14–01, Amendment 39–15123 (72 FR 38006, 

July 12, 2007) to require compliance with 

FAL* * * (comprising maintenance/ 

inspection tasks and Critical Design 

Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL)) 

for A330 aeroplanes, and 

EASA AD 2006–0205, dated July 11, 2006 

[http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2006-0205], 

which also corresponds to FAA AD 2007–14– 

01, Amendment 39–15123 (72 FR 38006, July 

12, 2007) to require compliance with FAL 

* * * (comprising maintenance/inspection 

tasks and Critical Design Configuration 

Control Limitations (CDCCL)) for Airbus 

A340 aeroplanes. 

All other EASA ADs * * * required 

accomplishment of aeroplane modifications 

related to Fuel Tank Safety items, the 

requirements and compliance times of which 

are now integrated into ALS Part 5. 

For the reasons described above this 

[EASA] AD * * * requires the 

implementation of the new or more 

restrictive maintenance requirements and/or 

airworthiness limitations as specified in the 

revision 00 of Airbus A340 ALS Part 5. 

The unsafe condition is the potential of 

ignition sources inside fuel tanks. Such 

ignition sources, in combination with 

flammable fuel vapors, could result in 

fuel tank explosions and consequent 

loss of the airplane. You may examine 

the MCAI in the AD docket on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#

!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0060- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 11019, February 27, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Explanation of Change Made to This 

AD 

We have revised paragraph (i) of this 

AD by removing a reference to a 

paragraph that was not needed. 

‘‘Contacting the Manufacturer’’ 

Paragraph in This AD 

Since late 2006, we have included a 

standard paragraph titled ‘‘Airworthy 

Product’’ in all MCAI ADs in which the 

FAA develops an AD based on a foreign 

authority’s AD. 

We have become aware that some 

operators have misunderstood or 

misinterpreted the Airworthy Product 

paragraph to allow the owner/operator 

to use messages provided by the 

manufacturer as approval of deviations 

during the accomplishment of an ADmandated action. The Airworthy 

Product paragraph does not approve 

messages or other information provided 

by the manufacturer for deviations to 

the requirements of the AD-mandated 

actions. The Airworthy Product 

paragraph only addresses the 

requirement to contact the manufacturer 

for corrective actions for the identified 

unsafe condition and does not cover 

deviations from other AD requirements. 

However, deviations to AD-required 

actions are addressed in 14 CFR 39.17, 

and anyone may request the approval 

for an alternative method of compliance 

to the AD-required actions using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

To address this misunderstanding and 

misinterpretation of the Airworthy 

Product paragraph, we have changed the 

paragraph and retitled it ‘‘Contacting the 

Manufacturer.’’ This paragraph now 

clarifies that for any requirement in this 

AD to obtain corrective actions from a 

manufacturer, the actions must be 

accomplished using a method approved 

by the FAA, the European Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA), or Airbus’s 

EASA Design Organization Approval 

(DOA). 

The Contacting the Manufacturer 

paragraph also clarifies that, if approved 

by the DOA, the approval must include 

the DOA-authorized signature. The DOA 

signature indicates that the data and 

information contained in the document 

are EASA-approved, which is also FAAapproved. Messages and other 

information provided by the 

manufacturer that do not contain the 

DOA-authorized signature approval are 

not EASA-approved, unless EASA 

directly approves the manufacturer’s 

message or other information. 

This clarification does not remove 

flexibility previously afforded by the 

Airworthy Product paragraph. 

Consistent with long-standing FAA 

policy, such flexibility was never 

intended for required actions. This is 

also consistent with the 

recommendation of the Airworthiness 

Directive Implementation Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee to increase 

flexibility in complying with ADs by 

identifying those actions in 

manufacturers’ service instructions that 

are ‘‘Required for Compliance’’ with 

ADs. We continue to work with 

manufacturers to implement this 

recommendation. But once we 

determine that an action is required, any 

deviation from the requirement must be 

approved as an alternative method of 

compliance. 

We also have decided not to include 

a generic reference to either the 

‘‘delegated agent’’ or ‘‘design approval 

holder (DAH) with State of Design 

Authority design organization 

approval,’’ but instead we have 

provided the specific delegation 

approval granted by the State of Design 

Authority for the DAH throughout this 

AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

11019, February 27, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 11019, 

February 27, 2014). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 80 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the new basic 

requirements of this AD. The average 

labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts will cost $0 per product. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be 

$6,800, or $85 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 162 / Thursday, August 21, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 49451 

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 

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.

paragraph (h)(2) of this AD. 

(2) Where Airbus A330 ALS Part 5—Fuel 

Airworthiness Limitations, dated November 

16, 2011, specifies a compliance time based 

on a calendar date for modifying the control 

circuit for the fuel pump of the center fuel 

tank (installing ground fault interrupters to 

the center tank fuel pump control circuit), 

the compliance date is September 18, 2016 

(48 months after the effective date of AD 

2012–16–05, Amendment 39–17152 (77 FR 

48425, August 14, 2012)). 

(i) No Alternative Actions, Intervals, or 

Critical Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs) 

After accomplishing the revision required 

by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative 

actions (e.g., inspections), intervals, or 

CDCCLs may be used; except as specified in 

paragraph (h) of this AD; or unless the 

actions, intervals, or CDCCLs are approved as 

an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) 

in accordance with the procedures specified 

in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. 

(j) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance

of Use 

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) is 

changing its list of facilities to include 

the new George W. Bush Presidential 

Library and to update addresses and 

contact numbers for records centers and 

archival research rooms outside of the 

Washington, DC area. 

DATES: This rule is effective September 

22, 2014, without further action, unless 

NARA receives adverse comments by 

September 10, 2014. If NARA receives 

an adverse comment, it will publish a 

timely withdrawal of the rule in the 

Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by RIN 3095–AB82, by any of 

the following methods: 

D Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

D Email: regulation_comments

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information or questions on this 

regulatory action, contact Carl Rauscher 

by telephone at 301–837–0320, by email 

at regulation_comments@nara.gov, or by

(SP), Suite 4100; National Archives and 

Records Administration; 8601 Adelphi 

Road; College Park, MD 20740–6001. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA is 

updating addresses and contact 

information for Presidential libraries, 

records centers, and archival research 

facilities outside of the Washington, DC 

area to reflect a newly-opened 

Presidential library, an agency-wide 

reorganization, and facility changes. The 

proposed changes reflect current contact 

information and include Web site 

addresses for additional information. 

These changes will affect all customers 

who do business with NARA. 

This rule is effective upon publication 

for good cause as permitted by the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3)). NARA believes that a public 

comment period is unnecessary as this 

rule makes only minor changes to the 

list of current NARA’s facilities and 

their contact information. This rule also 

does not have any Federalism 

implications. 

This direct final rule is not a 

significant regulatory action for the 

purposes of E.O. 12866 and has been 

reviewed by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB). The rule is also not 

a major rule as defined in 5 U.S.C. 

Chapter 8, Congressional Review of 

Agency Rulemaking. As required by the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, we certify 

that this rule will not have a significant 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities because it makes updates only 

to the list of current NARA facilities and 

their contact information.
