Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 12 / Tuesday, January 21, 2025 / Proposed Rules 6843 

the FAA proposes to amend 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 adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

Airbus SAS: Docket No. FAA–2025–0008; 

Project Identifier MCAI–2024–00563–T. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by March 7, 

2025. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model 

A321–251NX, –252NX, –253NX, –271NX, 

and –272NX airplanes, certificated in any 

category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 52, Doors. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by discovery of two 

bushes that had migrated on the latch shaft 

of an emergency overwing exit door (OWED) 

during accomplishment of an inspection on 

an in-service airplane. The FAA is issuing 

this AD to address bush migration on the 

latch shaft. The unsafe condition, if not 

addressed, could affect the fatigue life of the 

lower beam of the OWED and, consequently, 

the structural integrity of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and 

(i) of this AD: Comply with all required 

actions and compliance times specified in, 

and in accordance with, European Union 

Aviation Safety Agency AD 2024–0187, dated 

September 25, 2024 (EASA AD 2024–0187). 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2024–0187 

(1) Where EASA AD 2024–0187 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2024– 

0187 states ‘‘discrepancies, as defined in the 

ISB,’’ this AD requires replacing that text 

with ‘‘any signs of bush migration or 

deterioration of the sealant between the bush 

and latch bracket.’’ 

(3) This AD does not adopt the ‘‘Remarks’’ 

section of EASA AD 2024–0187. 

(i) No Reporting Requirement 

Although the material referenced in EASA 

AD 2024–0187 specifies to submit certain 

information to the manufacturer, this AD 

does not include that requirement. 

(j) Additional AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, AIR–520, Continued 

Operational Safety Branch, 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 responsible Flight Standards Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the manager of the Continued Operational 

Safety Branch, send it to the attention of the 

person identified in paragraph (k) of this AD 

and email to: AMOC@faa.gov. Before using 

any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate 

principal inspector, or lacking a principal 

inspector, the manager of the responsible 

Flight Standards Office. 

(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any 

requirement in this AD to obtain instructions 

from a manufacturer, the instructions must 

be accomplished using a method approved 

by the Manager, AIR–520, Continued 

Operational Safety Branch, FAA; or EASA; or 

Airbus SAS’s EASA Design Organization 

Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, 

the approval must include the DOAauthorized signature. 

(3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except 

as required by paragraph (i) and (j)(2) of this 

AD, if any material contains procedures or 

tests that are identified as RC, those 

procedures and tests must be done to comply 

with this AD; any procedures or tests that are 

not identified as RC are recommended. Those 

procedures and tests that are not identified 

as RC may be deviated from using accepted 

methods in accordance with the operator’s 

maintenance or inspection program without 

obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided 

the procedures and tests identified as RC can 

be done and the airplane can be put back in 

an airworthy condition. Any substitutions or 

changes to procedures or tests identified as 

RC require approval of an AMOC. 

(k) Additional Information

Engineer, FAA, 1600 Stewart Avenue, Suite

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) 

requires the Commission to adopt 

mandatory standards for durable infant 

or toddler products. 15 U.S.C. 

2056a(b)(1). Mandatory standards must 

be ‘‘substantially the same as’’ voluntary 

standards, or they may be ‘‘more 

stringent’’ than the applicable voluntary 

standards, if the Commission 

determines that more stringent 

requirements would further reduce the 

risk of injury associated with the 

products. Id. Mandatory standards may 

be based, in whole or in part, on a 

voluntary standard. 

Section 104(b)(4)(B) of the CPSIA 

specifies the process for when a 

voluntary standards organization revises 

a standard that the Commission 

incorporated by reference under section 

104(b)(1). First, the voluntary standards 

organization must notify the 

Commission of the revision. Once the 

Commission receives this notification, 

the Commission may reject or accept the 

revised standard. To reject a revised 

standard, the Commission must notify 

the voluntary standards organization 

within 90 days of receiving the notice of 

revision that the Commission has 

determined that the revised standard
