Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 
2017-19-13, AD 2018-24-04, and AD 2019-23-02, which apply to certain 
Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series, A330-200 Freighter series, and A330-
300 series airplanes. ADs 2017-19-13, 2018-24-04, and 2019-23-02 
require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as 
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-23-02, which terminates ADs 
2017-19-13 and 2018-24-04 upon its accomplishment, the FAA has 
determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are 
necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 
2019-23-02, add airplanes to the applicability, and require revising 
the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to 
incorporate additional new or more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency 
(EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is 
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 15, 
2022.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2019-23-02, Amendment 39-19795 (84 FR 64725, 
November 25, 2019) (AD 2019-23-02), which applies to certain Airbus SAS 
Model A330-200 series, A330-200 Freighter series, and A330-300 series 
airplanes. AD 2019-23-02 requires revising the existing maintenance or 
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more 
restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2019-23-02 to 
address fatigue cracking, accidental damage, and corrosion in principal 
structural elements; such fatigue cracking, accidental damage, and 
corrosion could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. 
AD 2019-23-02 specifies that accomplishing the revision required by 
paragraph (g) of that AD terminates all requirements of AD 2017-19-13, 
Amendment 39-19043 (82 FR 43837, September 20, 2017) (AD 2017-19-13); 
and AD 2018-24-04, Amendment 39-19508 (83 FR 60756, November 27, 2018) 
(AD 2018-24-04).

Actions Since AD 2019-23-02 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2019-23-02, the FAA has determined that new 
or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. In 
addition, Model A330-841 and A330-941 airplanes have been added to the 
U.S. type certificate data sheet, the applicable airworthiness 
limitations documents, and this proposed AD.
    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the 
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0261, dated November 22, 2021 
(EASA AD 2021-0261) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an 
unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -
243, -223F, -243F, -301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, -
343, -841, and -941 airplanes.
    Airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original 
export certificate of airworthiness issued after November 2, 2021, must 
comply with the airworthiness limitations specified as part of the 
approved type design and referenced on the type certificate data sheet; 
this AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the 
applicability.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new or more 
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is 
proposing this AD to address fatigue cracking, accidental damage, and 
corrosion in principal structural elements; such fatigue cracking, 
accidental damage, and corrosion could result in reduced structural 
integrity of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional background 
information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0261 describes new or more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations for airplane structures, including a limit of validity 
(LOV) for Model A330-841 and A330-941 airplanes.
    This AD would also require Airbus A330 Airworthiness Limitations 
Section (ALS) Part 2, Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items 
(DT-ALI), Revision 03, dated October 15, 2018; and Airbus A330 
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2, Damage Tolerant 
Airworthiness Limitation Items (DT-ALI), Variation 3.1, dated January 
18, 2019, which the Director of the Federal Register approved for 
incorporation by reference as of December 30, 2019 (84 FR 64725, 
November 25, 2019).
    This material 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.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of 
another country and are approved for operation in the United States. 
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design 
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in 
the MCAI and service information referenced above. The FAA is issuing 
this NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition described 
previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of these 
same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2019-23-02. 
This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance 
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more 
restrictive airworthiness limitations, which are specified in EASA AD 
2021-0261 described previously, as proposed for incorporation by 
reference. Any differences with EASA AD 2021-0261 are identified as 
exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator 
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections). 
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For 
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in 
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able 
to accomplish the actions 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 (AMOC) according to 
paragraph (l)(1) of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD 
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation 
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance 
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been 
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the 
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2021-0261 by reference in the FAA 
final rule. Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a 
particular section in EASA AD 2021-0261 does not mean that operators 
need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD 
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,'' 
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section 
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2021-
0261. Service information required by EASA AD 2021-0261 for compliance 
will be available at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and 
locating Docket No. FAA-2022-0591 after the FAA final rule is 
published.

Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process

    The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the 
primary

[[Page 32370]]

source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs has 
been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service 
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the 
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the 
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness 
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
    For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes 
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged. 
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, 
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new 
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must 
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
    The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a 
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g., 
inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions and intervals 
are approved as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in 
the AMOCs paragraph under ``Additional FAA Provisions.'' This new 
format includes a ``New Provisions for Alternative Actions and 
Intervals'' paragraph that does not specifically refer to AMOCs, but 
operators may still request an AMOC to use an alternative action or 
interval.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 138 airplanes of 
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with 
this proposed AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained 
actions from AD 2019-23-02 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or 
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, 
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator 
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection 
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined 
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane 
estimate.
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed 
actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed 
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive 
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or 
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
