RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 
that published in the Federal Register. The NPRM applies to certain 
Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model A340-200 and 
-300 series airplanes. The docket number identified throughout the NPRM 
is incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, 
the original document remains the same.

February 6, 2014) remains March 24, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 29, 2014, the FAA issued a Notice 
of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) (79 FR 7098, February 6, 2014) for 
certain Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model 
A340-200 and -300 series airplanes. The NPRM, Directorate Identifier 
2012-NM-007-AD, currently proposes to require repetitive draining of 
any fluid from the retraction actuator piston rod internal volume and 
sealing of the vent hole; repetitive ultrasonic inspections of the 
upper end of the piston rods, and corrective actions if necessary; a 
one-time ultrasonic inspection (longitudinal and circumferential) of 
the full-length of the piston rod, and corrective actions if necessary; 
and a terminating modification of the left-hand and right-hand main 
landing gear (MLG) retraction actuators.
    As published, the NPRM (79 FR 7098, February 6, 2014) specifies an 
incorrect docket number throughout the preamble and regulatory text. We 
have been informed that a duplicate docket number was inadvertently 
assigned to us for the NPRM. The correct docket number is FAA-2014-
0132.
    Commenters who submitted comments to the original (incorrect) 
docket number should check Docket No. FAA-2014-0012 and Docket No. FAA-
2014-0132 on http://www.regulations.gov to determine whether their 
comments have been received and filed in the appropriate docket. If 
not, or if it is not possible to determine whether comments have been 
posted to the correct docket, the comments should be resubmitted using 
the correct docket number.
    No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been 
changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the NPRM (79 FR 7098, 
February 6, 2014) is being published in the Federal Register.
    The last date for submitting comments to the NPRM (79 FR 7098, 
February 6, 2014) remains March 24, 2014.
