Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model 

A330 and A340 Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Airbus Model A330 and A340 airplanes. 

This AD requires revising the 

Airworthiness Limitations Section of 

the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness to incorporate new 

limitations for fuel tank systems. This 

AD results from fuel system reviews 

conducted by the manufacturer. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent the potential 

of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, 

which, in combination with flammable 

fuel vapors caused by latent failures, 

alterations, repairs, or maintenance 

actions, could result in fuel tank 

explosions and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

August 16, 2007. The Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in the AD as of 

August 16, 2007.

Discussion 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to all Airbus Model A330 and 

A340 airplanes. That NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 5, 2007 (72 FR 16741). That NPRM 

proposed to require revising the 

Airworthiness Limitations section of the 

Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness to incorporate new 

limitations for fuel tank systems. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We received no 

comments on the NPRM or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Changes to This AD 

We have removed Model A330–302, 

A330–303, and A340–643 airplanes 

from the applicability of this AD, since 

we have not yet certificated those 

airplane models for operation in the 

U.S. If these airplane models are 

certificated, the airworthiness 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC71 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 133 / Thursday, July 12, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 38007 

limitations required by this AD will be 

included as airworthiness limitations in 

the FAA-approved type design. 

In the NPRM, we referred to Airbus 

A340 Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, 

Document 95A.1933/05, Issue 1, dated 

December 19, 2005 (approved by the 

EASA on April 28, 2006), as the 

appropriate source of service 

information for revising the 

Airworthiness Limitations section of the 

Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness for Model A340 

airplanes. We have revised paragraphs 

(g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD to also refer 

to Issue 2, dated October 26, 2006 

(approved by the EASA on November 

22, 2006); and Issue 3, dated November 

23, 2006 (approved by the EASA on 

February 26, 2007), of the Airbus A340 

Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, 

Document 95A.1933/05, as appropriate 

sources of service information. 

Airbus issued Operator Information 

Telex (OIT) SE 999.0076/06, dated June 

20, 2006, to identify the applicable 

sections of the Airbus A330 Airplane 

Maintenance Manual (AMM) necessary 

for accomplishing the tasks specified in 

Section 1 of Document 95A.1932/05 and 

to identify the applicable sections of the 

Airbus A340 AMM necessary for 

accomplishing the tasks specified in 

Section 1 of Document 95A.1933/05. We 

have added a note to paragraphs (f)(1) 

and (g)(1) of this AD to refer to that OIT. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data and determined that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD with the changes 

described previously. We have 

determined that these changes will 

neither increase the economic burden 

on any operator nor increase the scope 

of the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

This AD affects about 27 airplanes of 

U.S. registry. The required actions take 

about 2 work hours per airplane, at an 

average labor rate of $80 per work hour. 

Based on these figures, the estimated 

cost of the AD for U.S. operators is 

$4,320, or $160 per airplane. 

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 have 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 

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. 

See the ADDRESSES section for a location 

to examine the regulatory evaluation.

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 Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) amends § 39.13 

by adding the following new 

airworthiness directive (AD): 

2007–14–01 Airbus: Amendment 39–15123. 

Docket No. FAA–2007–27768; 

Directorate Identifier 2006–NM–174–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This AD becomes effective August 16, 

2007. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all Airbus Model 

A330–201, A330–202, A330–203, A330–223, 

A330–243, A330–301, A330–321, A330–322, 

A330–323, A330–341, A330–342, and A330–

343 airplanes; and Model A340–211, A340–

212, A340–213, A340–311, A340–312, A340–

313, A340–541, and A340–642 airplanes; 

certificated in any category. 

Note 1: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include a new inspection and critical design 

configuration control limitations (CDCCLs). 

Compliance with the operator maintenance 

documents 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 and CDCCLs, 

the operator may not be able to accomplish 

the inspection and CDCCLs 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 (i) of this 

AD. The request should include a description 

of changes to the required inspections and 

CDCCLs that will preserve the critical 

ignition source prevention feature of the 

affected fuel system. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from fuel system 

reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent the potential 

of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, 

in combination with flammable fuel vapors 

caused by latent failures, alterations, repairs, 

or maintenance actions, could result in fuel 

tank explosions and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

Compliance 

(e) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done.
