ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2004–13– 

06 for certain Airbus Model A319 and 

A320 series airplanes. AD 2004–13–06 

required repetitive detailed inspections 

to detect cracks in the keel beam side 

panels, and repair if necessary. This 

new AD requires repetitive eddy current 

inspections for cracking in the keel 

beam side panels, and corrective actions 

if necessary. This AD was prompted by 

reports of cracks on the side panels of 

the keel beams. We are issuing this AD 

to detect and correct fatigue cracks on 

the side panels of the keel beams, which 

could result in reduced structural 

integrity of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

September 24, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of September 24, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on October 4, 2012 (77 FR 

60655), and proposed to supersede AD 

2004–13–06, Amendment 39–13688 (69 

FR 38818, June 29, 2004). The NPRM 

proposed to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products. The 

European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2011–0134, 

dated July 15, 2011 (referred to after this 

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

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

During certification structural fatigue tests, 

several cases of structural damage (cracks) 

have been found on keel beam side panels. 

Cracks were observed on both sides of the 

keel beam around the rivets below the center 

wing box between frame (FR) 40 and FR 42, 

and in part of the area of the upper elliptical 

cut out forward of FR 41. 

This type of damage, if not detected and 

repaired, would adversely affect the 

structural integrity of the aeroplane. 

To address this unsafe condition, DGAC 

[Direction Ge ́ne ́rale de l’Aviation Civile] 

France issued AD 2003–146 [which 

corresponds to FAA AD 2004–13–06, 

Amendment 39–13688 (69 FR 38818, June 

29, 2004)] to require repetitive detailed 

inspections of those two areas and corrective 

actions, depending on findings. 

Prompted by reported access difficulties 

and to allow extension of the interval 

between two consecutive inspections, Airbus 

validated an Eddy current Non-Destructive 

Test (NDT) inspection to replace the detailed 

inspection. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD, which supersedes DGAC France 

AD 2003–146, requires repetitive Eddycurrent NDT inspections for cracks in the 

affected areas of the keel beam side panel 

below the center wing box and corrective 

actions [repair], depending on findings. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Revised Service Information 

The NPRM (77 FR 60655, October 4, 

2012) referred to Airbus Mandatory 

Service Bulletin A320–53–1060, 

Revision 02, dated November 30, 2010, 

as the appropriate source of service 

information for the proposed actions. 

Airbus has revised this service 

information. We have reviewed Airbus 

Mandatory Service Bulletin A320–53– 

1060, Revision 04, dated September 13, 

2012, which includes an updated 

effectivity, an added illustration, 

amended job set-up and close-up 

procedures, and minor changes, but 

adds no accomplishment instruction 

procedures. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comments received. 

Request To Revise Referenced Service 

Information 

Jetblue Airways requested that we 

revise the NPRM (77 FR 60655, October 

4, 2012) to reference the latest service 

information. 

We agree. As explained above, we 

reviewed Airbus Mandatory Service 

Bulletin A320–53–1060, Revision 04, 

dated September 13, 2012. We have 

revised this final rule to refer to Airbus 

Mandatory Service Bulletin A320–53– 

1060, Revision 04, dated September 13, 

2012; to add new paragraph (i) to allow 

credit for actions accomplished before 

the effective date of this AD using 

Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin 

A320–53–1060, Revision 02, dated 

November 30, 2010, or Revision 03, 

dated January 20, 2012; and to reidentify subsequent paragraphs.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 51059 

Requests To Correct Subparagraph 

References 

Delta Airlines (Delta) and Airbus 

requested that we fix typographical 

errors in paragraphs (g) and (j) of the 

NPRM (77 FR 60655, October 4, 2012), 

which refer to incorrect paragraphs. 

We agree that those paragraphs were 

misidentified in the NPRM (77 FR 

60655, October 4, 2012). We have 

changed paragraph (g) in this final rule 

to refer to paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of 

this final rule, instead of paragraphs 

(k)(1) and (k)(2) of this final rule. We 

have also changed paragraph (k) of this 

final rule (identified as paragraph (j) in 

the NPRM), to refer to paragraphs (k)(1), 

(k)(2), and (k)(3) of this final rule. 

Request for Clarification of Inspection 

Interval 

Delta requested that we clarify 

whether the eddy current inspection 

specified in the NPRM (77 FR 60655, 

October 4, 2012) will allow extension of 

the inspection intervals that are 

required by AD 2004–13–06. Delta 

stated it agrees that an eddy current 

inspection will be a more effective way 

to detect cracks than a detailed visual 

inspection, but disagrees that it will 

solve the access difficulty problem. 

We agree to clarify these issues. EASA 

and Airbus later acknowledged that the 

general visual inspection was replaced 

with non-destructive testing (eddy 

current inspection) because the eddy 

current inspection procedure is a more 

effective way to detect cracking, not 

because the inspection area was difficult 

to access as stated in the MCAI. There 

is no change in the initial inspection 

compliance time for the eddy current 

inspection as compared to the initial 

inspection compliance time for the 

general visual inspection; however, the 

repetitive inspection interval for the 

eddy current inspection (12,000 flight 

cycles or 26,700 flight hours) is at a 

greater interval as compared to the 

repetitive inspection interval for the 

general visual inspection (4,300 flight 

cycles or 9,600 flight hours). We have 

not changed this final rule in this 

regard. 

Request To Allow Flight With Cracks 

The NPRM (77 FR 60655, October 4, 

2012) requires crack repair before 

further flight. Delta requested that 

operators be allowed to comply with the 

crack repair compliance times described 

in Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin 

A320–53–1060 (as referenced in EASA 

AD 2011–0134, dated July 15, 2011), or 

decrease the compliance times for crack 

repair in inspection Area A, instead of 

eliminating the repair deferral time 

specified in the NPRM. Delta stated that 

this would ease accomplishment of 

repetitive inspections for operators. 

We are aware that Airbus Mandatory 

Service Bulletin A320–53–1060 allows 

deferral of crack repair in certain areas 

based on crack length. We usually do 

not allow dispatch with known cracks 

in primary structure. As specified in the 

NPRM (77 FR 60655, October 4, 2012) 

under ‘‘Differences Between This AD 

and the MCAI or Service Information,’’ 

we find that, to achieve an adequate 

level of safety for the affected fleet, 

fatigue cracks on the side panels of the 

keel beams must be repaired prior to 

further flight. However, if an operator 

has an inspection plan for tracking crack 

length and mitigating the risks 

associated with flight with cracks, then 

we will consider its request for approval 

of an alternative method of compliance 

in accordance with the provisions 

specified in paragraph (j) of this final 

rule. We have not changed this final 

rule in this regard. 

Request To Approve Airbus Repair 

Approval Sheet (RAS) 

Airbus requested that we consider 

each Airbus RAS approved under 

Airbus Design Organization Approval 

(DOA) EASA.21J.031, provided after 

cracking is reported, as an approved 

method for repair, as required by 

paragraph (h)(2) of the NPRM (77 FR 

60655, October 4, 2012). 

We agree to clarify. Airbus has design 

organization approval authority from 

EASA and, therefore, a RAS approved 

under DOA EASA.21J.031 would be a 

method of compliance for a repair 

required by this AD under the 

provisions specified in paragraph (j)(2) 

of this AD. We have not changed this 

AD in this regard. 

Request To Update Airbus Contact 

Information 

Airbus requested that we replace the 

acronym EAS with the acronym EIAS in 

its contact information. 

We agree to change the Airbus contact 

information in this AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comments received, 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 changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 

60655, October 4, 2012) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 60655, 

October 4, 2012). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 

about 351 products of U.S. registry. 

We estimate that it will take about 29 

work-hours per product to comply with 

the new basic requirements of this AD. 

The average labor rate is $85 per workhour. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. 

operators to be $865,215, or $2,465 per 

product. 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide cost 

estimates for the on-condition actions 

specified in this AD. We have no way 

of determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

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 

4. Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

NYC PARKS New York City Department of 

Parks and Recreation 

A. Regulatory History and Information 

On February 6, 2012, we published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

entitled Special Anchorage Areas; Port 

of New York, NY in the Federal Register 

(77 FR 5743). We received 13 comments 

on the proposed rule. A public hearing 

was requested, but none was held since 

the written comments clearly expressed 

the views of the commenters and oral 

presentations would not aid in the 

rulemaking process. 

B. Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis for the rule is 33 

U.S.C. 471, 1221 through 1236, 2030, 

2035, 2071; 33 CFR 1.05–1; and 

Department of Homeland Security 

Delegation No. 0170.1, which 

collectively authorize the Coast Guard 

to define anchorage grounds. 

The specific reasons for this 

rulemaking are requests submitted by 

the local governments with jurisdiction 

over the current mooring fields and 

special anchorage areas to clarify their 

usage. Additionally, the removal of the 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES
