AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007–10– 

10 R1 for all Airbus Model A300 B4–

600, B4–600R, and F4–600R series 

airplanes, and Model A300 C4–605R 

Variant F airplanes (collectively called 

Model A300–600 series airplanes). AD 

2007–10–10 R1 required revising the 

Airworthiness Limitations Section 

(ALS) of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness to incorporate new 

limitations for fuel tank systems. This 

new AD requires revising the 

maintenance program or inspection 

program to incorporate revised fuel 

maintenance and inspection tasks. This 

AD was prompted by issuance of more 

restrictive maintenance requirements 

and/or airworthiness limitations 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 June 

10, 2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of June 10, 2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain other publication listed in 

this AD as of December 28, 2009 (74 FR 

65398, December 10, 2009). 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain other publications listed in 

this AD as of June 27, 2007 (72 FR 

28827, May 23, 2007).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2007–10–10 R1, 

Amendment 39–16134 (74 FR 65398, 

December 10, 2009) (‘‘AD 2007–10–10 

R1’’). AD 2007–10–10 R1 applied to all 

Airbus Model A300 B4–600, B4–600R, 

and F4–600R series airplanes, and 

Model A300 C4–605R Variant F 

airplanes (collectively called Model 

A300–600 series airplanes). The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 13, 2016 (81 FR 1573) (‘‘the 

NPRM’’). 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0194, dated October 15, 

2014 (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

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

an unsafe condition on all Airbus Model 

A300 B4–600, B4–600R, and F4–600R 

series airplanes, and Model A300 C4– 

605R Variant F airplanes (collectively 

called Model A300–600 series 

airplanes). The MCAI states: 

Prompted by an accident * * *, the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

published Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation (SFAR) 88, [http://rgl.faa.gov/

Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/

rgFAR.nsf/0/EEFB3F94451

DC06286256C93004F5E07?OpenDocument&

Highlight=sfar 88], and the Joint Aviation 

Authorities (JAA) published Interim Policy 

INT/POL/25/12. In response to these 

regulations, Airbus conducted a design 

review to develop Fuel Airworthiness 

Limitations (FAL) for Airbus on A300–600 

and A300–600ST aeroplanes. 

The FAL were specified in Airbus A300– 

600 FAL document ref. 95A.1929/05 at issue 

02 and in the A300–600 [Airworthiness 

Limitation Section] ALS variation to FAL 

document issue 02 ref. 0CVLG110007/C0S 

issue 01, for A300–600 and A300–600ST 

aeroplanes. 

EASA issued [EASA] AD 2006–0201 to 

require compliance with the FAL documents 

(comprising maintenance/inspection tasks 

and Critical Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCL)). 

EASA AD 2006–0201 was superseded by 

EASA AD 2007–0095 (later revised) [which 

corresponds to FAA AD 2007–10–10 R1, 

Amendment 39–16134 (74 FR 65398, 

December 10, 2009)], which retained the 

original requirements and corrected and 

updated the compliance paragraphs 

concerning task ref. 28–18–00–03–1 and 

CDCCLs. 

Since EASA AD 2007–0095R1 was 

published, Airbus issued A300–600 ALS Part 

5, prompted by EASA policy statement 

(EASA D2005/CPRO) which requests design 

approval holders to integrate Fuel Tank 

Safety items into an ALS document. The 

A300–600 ALS Part 5 is approved by EASA. 

Failure to comply with the items as 

identified in Airbus A300–600 ALS Part 5 

could result in a fuel tank explosion and 

consequent loss of the aeroplane. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA 

AD 2007–0095R1, which is superseded, and 

requires implementation of the new and 

more restrictive maintenance instructions 

and/or airworthiness limitations as specified 

in Airbus A300–600 ALS Part 5. 

The unsafe condition is 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. You may examine the MCAI in 

the AD docket on the Internet at 

http://www.regulations.gov by searching 

for and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

8427. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Explanation of Changes Made in This 

AD 

We have corrected certain paragraph 

references in paragraph (g) and Note 1 

to paragraph (g) of this AD. 

We have revised certain document 

citations in paragraph (h) of this AD. 

This change is necessary to meet the 

Office of the Federal Register’s 

requirements for documents that are 

incorporated by reference in this AD. 

We have also determined that the 

compliance time for revising the ALS to 

incorporate certain CDCCLs specified in 

paragraph (i) of this AD should be 

within 12 months after June 27, 2007 

(the effective date of AD 2007–10–10, 

Amendment 39–15051 (72 FR 28827, 

May 23, 2007) (‘‘AD 2007–10–10’’)). The 

compliance time stated in the proposed 

AD was ‘‘Within 12 months after the 

effective date of this AD.’’ We have 

revised paragraph (i) of this AD 

accordingly. The proposed AD clearly 

indicated that we intended to restate the 

requirements of that paragraph from the 

previous AD, with no changes. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously, 

except for minor editorial changes. We 

have determined that these minor 

changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Airbus has issued A300–600 

Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 

5—Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, 

Revision 00, dated May 27, 2014. The 

airworthiness limitations introduce 

mandatory instructions and more 

restrictive maintenance requirements. 

This service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 122 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The actions required by AD 2007–10– 

10 R1, and retained in this AD take 

about 2 work-hours per product, at an 

average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, the estimated 

cost of the actions that were required by 

AD 2007–10–10 R1 is $170 per product. 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 88 / Friday, May 6, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 27307 

We also estimate that it takes about 1 

work-hour per product to comply with 

the 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 

$10,370, 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 

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.
