ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above that supersedes an 

existing AD. 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: 

* * * * * 

The revision 01 of Airbus A340 ALS 

[Airworthiness Limitations section] Part 3 

introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with this 

revision constitutes an unsafe condition. 

* * * * * 

The unsafe condition is a safetysignificant latent failure that would, in 

combination with one or more other 

specific failures or events, result in a 

hazardous or catastrophic failure 

condition. This AD requires actions that 

are intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 

17, 2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of May 17, 2011. 

On January 27, 2010 (75 FR 1538, 

January 12, 2010), the Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of a certain 

other publication listed in this AD. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by June 16, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On December 23, 2009, we issued AD 

2010–01–07, Amendment 39–16165 (75 

FR 1538, January 12, 2010). That AD 

required actions intended to address an 

unsafe condition on the products listed 

above. 

Since we issued AD 2010–01–07, we 

have determined that more restrictive 

limitations are necessary. The European 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which 

is the Technical Agent for the Member 

States of the European Community, has 

issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 

2010–0047, dated March 19, 2010 

(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to 

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

The airworthiness limitations are currently 

distributed in the Airbus A340 Airworthiness 

Limitations Section (ALS). 

The airworthiness limitations applicable to 

the Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR) are given in Airbus A340 ALS Part 3, 

which is approved by the European Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA). 

The revision 01 of Airbus A340 ALS Part 

3 introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with this 

revision constitutes an unsafe condition. 

This new AD retains the requirements of 

EASA AD 2009–0098 [which corresponds to 

FAA AD 2010–01–07], which is superseded, 

and requires the implementation of the new 

or more restrictive maintenance requirements 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 84 / Monday, May 2, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 24361 

and/or airworthiness limitations as specified 

in Airbus A340 ALS Part 3 revision 01. 

The unsafe condition is a safetysignificant latent failure that would, in 

combination with one or more other 

specific failures or events, result in a 

hazardous or catastrophic failure 

condition. This AD requires revising the 

maintenance program by incorporating 

new and revised CMRs. You may obtain 

further information by examining the 

MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Airbus has issued A340 ALS, Part 3— 

Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR), Revision 01, including 

Appendices 1 and 2, dated December 

15, 2009. 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 this product, 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–2011–0386; 

Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–115– 

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. 

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 

removing Amendment 39–16165 (75 FR 

1538, January 12, 2010) and adding the 

following new AD: 

2011–09–17 Airbus: Amendment 39–16679. 

Docket No. FAA–2011–0386; Directorate 

Identifier 2010–NM–115–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective May 17, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) This AD supersedes AD 2010–01–07, 

Amendment 39–16165. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A340– 

211, –212, –213, –311, –312, –313, –541, and 

–642 airplanes; certificated in any category; 

all serial numbers. 

Note 1: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include new inspections. Compliance with 

these inspections is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired in 

the areas addressed by these inspections, the 

operator may not be able to accomplish the 

inspections described in the revisions. In this 

situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), 

the operator must request approval for an 

alternative method of compliance according 

to paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. The request 

should include a description of changes to 

the required inspections that will ensure the 

continued damage tolerance of the affected 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
24362 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 84 / Monday, May 2, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

structure. The FAA has provided guidance 

for this determination in Advisory Circular 

(AC) 25–1529–1. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 05: Periodic Inspections. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continued airworthiness 

information (MCAI) states: 

* * * * * 

The revision 01 of Airbus A340 ALS 

[Airworthiness Limitations section] Part 3 

introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with this 

revision constitutes an unsafe condition. 

* * * * * 

The unsafe condition is a safety-significant 

latent failure that would, in combination 

with one or more other specific failures or 

events, result in a hazardous or catastrophic 

failure condition. 

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. 

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2010– 

01–07, With No Changes 

Revise the ALS of the Instructions for 

Continued Airworthiness (ICA) 

(g) Unless already done, within 3 months 

after January 27, 2010 (the effective date of

(CMR), Revision 00, dated July 31, 2008; 

except as provided by paragraphs (g)(1) and 

(g)(2) of this AD, and except as required by 

paragraph (h) of this AD. 

(1) Count the associated interval for any 

new task from January 27, 2010, except that 

Airbus A340 CMR Task 212100–00001–1–C 

must be performed at the later of the times 

specified in paragraphs (g)(1)(i) and (g)(1)(ii) 

of this AD. 

(i) Before the accumulation of 2,600 total 

flight hours since the date of issuance of the 

original French airworthiness certificate or 

the date of issuance of the original French or 

EASA export certificate of airworthiness. 

(ii) Within 800 flight hours or 3 months, 

whichever comes first, after the approval date 

of the Airbus A340 ALS, Part 3—Certification 

Maintenance Requirements (CMR), Revision 

00, dated July 31, 2008. 

(2) Count the associated interval for any 

revised task from the previous performance 

of the task. 

(3) Doing the revision required by 

paragraph (g) of this AD terminates the 

requirements of paragraph (f) of AD 2007– 

05–08, Amendment 39–14969, for that 

airplane only. 

New Requirements of This AD

(h) Within 3 months after the effective date 

of this AD, revise the maintenance program 

by incorporating Airbus A340 ALS, Part 3— 

Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR), Revision 01, dated December 15, 

2009. The initial compliance times for the 

actions specified in Airbus A340 ALS, Part 

3—Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR), Revision 01, dated December 15, 

2009, are at the later of the times specified 

in the Airbus A340 ALS, Part 3—Certification 

Maintenance Requirements (CMR), Revision 

01, dated December 15, 2009, or within 3 

months after the effective date of this AD. 

Doing the revision required by this paragraph 

terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) 

of this AD for that airplane only. 

No Alternative Actions, Intervals, and/or 

Critical Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs) 

(i) After accomplishing the revision 

required by paragraph (h) of this AD, no 

alternative actions (e.g., inspections), 

intervals, and/or CDCCLs may be used, other 

than those specified in Airbus A340 ALS, 

Part 3—Certification Maintenance 

Requirements (CMR), Revision 01, dated 

December 15, 2009, unless the actions, 

intervals, and/or CDCCLs are approved as an 

alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in 

accordance with the procedures specified in 

paragraph (j) of this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: 

Although European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) Airworthiness Directive 2010–0047, 

dated March 19, 2010, specifies both revising 

the maintenance program to include 

airworthiness limitations, and doing certain 

repetitive actions (e.g., inspections) and/or 

maintaining CDCCLs, this AD only requires 

the revision. Requiring a revision of the 

maintenance program, rather than requiring 

individual repetitive actions and/or 

maintaining CDCCLs, requires operators to 

record AD compliance only at the time the 

revision is made. Repetitive actions and/or 

maintaining CDCCLs specified in the 

airworthiness limitations must be complied 

with in accordance with 14 CFR 91.403(c). 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(j) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your 

request to your principal inspector or local 

Flight Standards District Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the International Branch, send it to ATTN: 

Vladimir Ulyanov, International Branch, 

ANM–116, Transport Airplane Directorate, 

FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, 

Washington 98057–3356; telephone: 425– 

227–1138; fax: 425–227–1149. Information 

may be e-mailed to: 9-ANM-116-AMOCREQUESTS@faa.gov. Before using any 

approved AMOC, notify your appropriate 

principal inspector, or lacking a principal 

inspector, the manager of the local flight 

standards district office/certificate holding 

district office. The AMOC approval letter 

must specifically reference this AD. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

19 CFR Part 210 

Adjudication and Enforcement 

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. International Trade 

Commission is adopting a rule 

amendment revising a certain provision 

of the agency’s rule for investigations 

and related proceedings under section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The 

Supplement to the Strategic Human 

Capital Plan 2009–2013 issued by the 

Commission on January 18, 2011, 

provides that the Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) will not 

participate in a subset of Section 337 

cases and will participate selectively in 

another subset of cases. In order to 

better allocate its resources, OUII may 

have to assign attorneys to 

investigations on an issue by issue basis. 

The rule amendment will allow OUII 

the flexibility to reassign attorneys to 

cases as necessary without having to 

publish notices announcing the change

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission is adopting the following 

rule amendment as a final rule. 

Regulatory Analysis 

The Commission has determined that 

the final rule does not meet the criteria 

described in Section 3(f) of Executive 

Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, Oct. 4, 1993) 

and thus does not constitute a 

significant regulatory action for 

purposes of the Executive Order. 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) is inapplicable to this 

rulemaking because it is not one for 

which a notice of rulemaking is required 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) or any other 

statute. Although the Commission has 

chosen to publish a notice of final 

rulemaking, the regulation is an ‘‘agency 

rule of procedure and practice,’’ and 

thus is exempt from the notice 

requirement imposed by 5 U.S.C. 553(b). 

This final rule does not contain 

federalism implications warranting the 

preparation of a federalism summary 

impact statement pursuant to Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, Aug. 4, 

1999). 

No actions are necessary under the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

(2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) because the final 

rule will not result in the expenditure 

by State, local, and tribal governments, 

in the aggregate, or by the private sector, 

of $100,000,000 or more in any one 

year, and will not significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments. 

The final rule is not a major rule as 

defined by section 804 of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 801 et 

seq.). Moreover, it is exempt from the 

reporting requirements of the Contract 

With America Advancement Act of 1996 

(Pub. L. 104–121) because it concerns a 

rule of agency organization, procedure, 

or practice that does not substantially 

affect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties. 

The amendment is not subject to 

section 3504(h) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 

since it does not contain any new 

information collection requirements.

HUD Multifamily Rental Projects: 

Regulatory Revisions 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner, HUD. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends certain 

Federal Housing Administration (FHA) 

regulations to update these regulations 

to reflect current HUD policy in the area 

of multifamily rental projects. On 

November 12, 2010, HUD published 

proposed regulations to remove 

outdated regulatory language and 

policies and to reflect proposed changes 

in FHA’s multifamily rental project 

closing documents, issued for comment 

in January 2010, and again in December 

2010. The issuance of revised 

multifamily rental project closing 

documents for public comment and 

corresponding regulatory changes first 

commenced in 2004, but was not 

completed. 

This final rule follows the November 

12, 2010 proposed rule, and takes into 

consideration public comments received 

on the November 2010 proposed rule, as 

well as certain comments received on 

HUD’s issuance of further revised 

multifamily rental project closing 

documents made available for public 

comment by notice published on 

December 22, 2010. Neither the closing 

documents issued for comment in
