Acceptance Criteria for Portable 

Oxygen Concentrators Used On Board 

Aircraft; Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) and the Office of 

the Secretary (OST), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: This final rule replaces the 

existing process by which the Federal 

Aviation Administration (Agency or 

FAA) approves portable oxygen 

concentrators (POC) for use on board 

aircraft in air carrier operations, 

commercial operations, and certain 

other operations using large aircraft. The 

FAA currently assesses each POC make 

and model on a case-by-case basis and 

if the FAA determines that a particular 

POC is safe for use on board an aircraft, 

the FAA conducts rulemaking to 

identify the specific POC model in an 

FAA regulation. This final rule replaces 

the current process and allows 

passengers to use a POC on board an 

aircraft if the POC satisfies certain 

acceptance criteria and bears a label 

indicating conformance with the 

acceptance criteria. The labeling 

requirement only affects POCs intended 

for use on board aircraft that were not 

previously approved for use on aircraft 

by the FAA. Additionally, this 

rulemaking will eliminate redundant 

operational requirements and 

paperwork requirements related to the 

physician’s statement. As a result, this 

rulemaking will reduce burdens for POC 

manufacturers, passengers who use 

POCs while traveling, and affected 

aircraft operators. This final rule also 

makes conforming amendments to the 

Department of Transportation’s 

(Department or DOT) rule implementing 

the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) to 

require carriers to accept all POC 

models that meet FAA acceptance 

criteria as detailed in this rule. 

DATES: This correction will become 

effective on June 23, 2016.

action, contact DK Deaderick, 121 Air

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 24, 2016, the FAA published 

a final rule entitled, ‘‘Acceptance 

Criteria for Portable Oxygen 

Concentrators Used On Board Aircraft’’ 

(81 FR 33098). 

This final rule affects the use of POCs 

on board aircraft in operations 

conducted under title 14 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 121, 

125, and 135, by replacing the existing 

FAA case-by-case approval process for 

each make and model of POC in Special 

Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 

106, with FAA acceptance criteria. 

Under SFAR No. 106, each time the 

FAA approves a specific model of POC 

for use on board aircraft, the agency 

updates the list of approved POCs in the 

SFAR. 

This final rule removes SFAR No. 106 

and replaces it with POC acceptance 

criteria and specific labeling 

requirements to identify POCs that 

conform to the acceptance criteria. POCs 

that conform to the final rule acceptance 

criteria will be allowed on board aircraft 

without additional FAA review and 

rulemaking. 

As with existing requirements for 

FAA approval of POCs that may be used 

on aircraft, the final rule acceptance 

criteria and labeling requirement only 

apply to POCs intended for use on board 

aircraft. Table 1 provides a comparison 

of the final rule acceptance criteria and 

labeling requirement with related SFAR 

No. 106. 

However, the final rule was published 

with an incorrect amendment number, 

‘‘11–59,’’ which is the same amendment 

number as the rule entitled 

‘‘Administrative Practices and 

Procedures, Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Requirements ’’ (81 FR 

13969), published on March 16, 2016. 

The correct amendment number for this 

rule should be ‘‘11–60.’’

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016–09– 

11 for certain Airbus Model A330–200, 

–200 Freighter, and –300 series 

airplanes; and Model A340–200 and 

–300 series airplanes. AD 2016–09–11 

required removing fasteners, doing a 

rototest inspection of fastener holes, 

installing new fasteners, oversizing the 

holes and doing rototest inspections for 

cracks if necessary, and repairing any 

cracking that is found. This new AD 

requires the same actions as AD 2016– 

09–11, but includes Model A330–300 

series airplanes in paragraph (g)(2) of 

this AD. This AD was prompted by the 

discovery of missing affected airplanes 

in paragraph (g)(2) of AD 2016–09–11 

that resulted from converting a table in 

the proposed AD to text in AD 2016–09– 

11. We are issuing this AD to detect and 

correct cracking on certain holes of 

certain frames of the center wing box 

(CWB), which could affect the structural 

integrity of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 29, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of June 13, 2016 (81 FR 27986, May 

9, 2016). 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by July 29, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On April 21, 2016, we issued AD 

2016–09–11, Amendment 39–18509 (81 

FR 27986, May 9, 2016) (‘‘AD 2016–09– 

11’’), for certain Airbus Model A330– 

200, –200 Freighter, and –300 series 

airplanes; and Model A340–200 and 

–300 series airplanes. AD 2016–09–11 

was prompted by reports that cracks 

were found on an adjacent hole of 

certain frames of the CWB. AD 2016– 

09–11 required removing fasteners, 

doing a rototest inspection of fastener 

holes, installing new fasteners, 

oversizing the holes and doing rototest 

inspections for cracks if necessary, and 

repairing any cracking that was found. 

We issued AD 2016–09–11 to detect and 

correct cracking on certain holes of 

certain frames of the CWB that could 

affect the structural integrity of the 

airplane. 

Since we issued AD 2016–09–11, we 

discovered missing affected airplanes in 

paragraph (g)(2) of AD 2016–09–11 that 

resulted from converting a table to text 

in that AD. We stated in the preamble 

of AD 2016–09–11 that we revised the 

format of paragraph (g) of that AD, at the 

request of the Office of the Federal 

Register, by converting the table to text. 

We also stated this change to the format 

does not affect the requirements of that 

paragraph. 

However, in converting the table to 

text, we inadvertently omitted Model 

A330–300 series airplanes from 

paragraph (g)(2) of AD 2016–09–11. We 

have changed paragraph (g)(2) of this 

AD to include Model A330–300 series 

airplanes. 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0149, dated June 13, 

2014 (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct 

an unsafe condition for certain Airbus 

Model A330–200, –200 Freighter, and 

–300 series airplanes; and Model A340– 

200 and –300 series airplanes. The 

MCAI states: 

During accomplishment of A330 

Airworthiness Limitation Item (ALI) task 57– 

11–04 on the rear fitting of the Frame (FR) 

40 between stringers 38 and 39 on both [lefthand] LH/[right-hand] RH sides, cracks were 

found on an adjacent hole. After reaming at 

second oversize of the subject hole, the crack 

was still present. 

Other crack findings on this adjacent hole 

have been reported on A330 and A340–200/ 

–300 aeroplanes as a result of sampling 

inspections.
