RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012-21-
04, which applies to all Airbus Model A300 series airplanes; Model A310 
series airplanes; and 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 2012-21-04 currently 
requires repetitive inspections for, and replacement of, any cracked 
hood halves of fuel pump canisters. Since we issued AD 2012-21-04, we 
allowed inspections of the outer tank and trim tank fuel pump canister 
hood halves to be terminated. However, we have received reports of new 
in-service events of outer tank fuel pump canister hood cracking. This 
proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2012-21-04, reinstate 
the terminated inspections, and add optional terminating actions. We 
are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these 
products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 18, 
2017.

Discussion

    On October 25, 2012, we issued AD 2012-21-04, Amendment 39-17220 
(77 FR 64701, October 23, 2012) (``AD 2012-21-04''), for all Airbus 
Model A300 series airplanes; Model A310 series airplanes; and Model 
A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and Model A300-600 series airplanes. AD 2012-21-
04 was prompted by reports of cracked fuel pump canister hoods located 
in fuel tanks. AD 2012-21-04 requires repetitive inspections for, and 
replacement of, any cracked hood halves of fuel pump canisters. We 
issued AD 2012-21-04 to prevent any detached canister hood fragments/
debris from being ingested into the fuel feed system, and becoming a 
potential source of ignition with consequent fire or explosion.
    Since we issued AD 2012-21-04 (which corresponds to European 
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2011-0124, dated June 30, 2011), EASA 
has issued EASA AD 2011-0124R1, dated September 5, 2014. That EASA AD 
introduced optional terminating action for the wing inner and center 
fuel tanks, and cancelled the repetitive inspections of the fuel pump 
canister hood halves in outer wing and trim tanks, for which no cracks 
had been reported following the initial inspection. The FAA provided a 
global alternative method of compliance (AMOC) to AD 2012-21-04 
providing relief to operators from conducting the inspection for the 
fuel pump canister hoods in the outer wing and trim tanks. Since the 
FAA provided the global AMOC, we have received reports of new in-
service events of outer tank fuel pump canister hood cracking.
    EASA has issued AD 2017-0051, dated March 23, 2017 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A300 
series airplanes; Model A310 series airplanes;

[[Page 35912]]

and Model A300-600 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Reports were received of finding cracked fuel pump canister 
hoods located in fuel tanks on in-service aeroplanes. Initial 
analyses, laboratory testing and examinations suggested that 
vibration-induced fatigue could have caused these cracks. However, 
initial data could not exclude some other potential contributing 
factors.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to 
detached canister hood fragments or debris being ingested into the 
fuel feed system. In addition, metallic debris inside the fuel tank 
could result in a potential source of fuel vapour ignition, possibly 
resulting in a fire or fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of 
the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2011-
0124 (later revised) [FAA AD 2012-21-04 corresponds to EASA AD 2011-
0124] to require repetitive inspections of the canister hood halves 
installed on all fuel pump canisters and, if any damage was found, 
replacement. EASA AD 2011-0124R1 introduced an optional terminating 
action for the wing inner and centre fuel tanks, and cancelled the 
repetitive inspections of the fuel pump canister hoods in outer wing 
and trim tanks, for which no cracks had been reported following the 
initial inspection.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, new in service events of outer 
tank fuel pump canister hood cracking have been reported. 
Consequently, the canister hoods of the outer tank fuel pumps and 
trim tank fuel pumps will need to be inspected.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the 
requirements of EASA AD 2011-0124R1, which is superseded, retaining 
the repetitive inspections of fuel pump canister hoods in wing inner 
and centre tanks, and reintroduces repetitive detailed inspections 
(DET) for outer tank and trim tank fuel pump canister hoods. This 
[EASA] AD also retains the existing optional terminating action for 
the repetitive DET of wing inner and centre tank fuel pump canister 
hoods, and introduces a new optional terminating action for the 
repetitive DET of the outer and trim tank fuel pump canister hoods 
required by this [EASA] AD.

    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-2017-
0714.

     Airbus Service Bulletin A300-28-0094, Revision 00, dated 
January 9, 2017. This service information describes procedures for 
replacement of the hood halves of the fuel pump canisters with newer 
design hood halves for the wing-outer tank.
     Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-28-6106, Revision 
03, dated December 16, 2016; and Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin 
A310-28-2173, Revision 03, dated December 16, 2016. This service 
information describes procedures for repetitive detailed inspections of 
all fuel pump locations (center, wing-inner, wing-outer, and trim 
tank), and replacing any cracked hood halves of fuel pump canisters. 
These documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane 
models.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A300-28-6114, Revision 00, dated 
January 9, 2017; and Airbus Service Bulletin A310-28-2178, Revision 00, 
January 9, 2017. This service information describes procedures for

pumps. These documents are distinct since they apply to different 
airplane models.
    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.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have 
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service 
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these 
same type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 168 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    The actions required by AD 2012-21-04, and retained in this 
proposed AD take about 12 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 are required by AD 2012-21-04 is $1,020 per 
product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 9 work-hours per product 
to comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD, at an 
average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we 
estimate the cost of the new basic requirements of this proposed AD on 
U.S. operators to be $128,520, or $765 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that the optional terminating actions 
would take about 1 work-hour and require parts costing $255, for a cost 
of $340 per product. We have no way of determining the number of 
aircraft that might need these actions.

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 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;

[[Page 35913]]

    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.
