Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 
Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This AD was 
prompted by reports of premature aging of certain passenger chemical 
oxygen generators that resulted in the generators failing to activate. 
This AD requires an inspection to determine if certain passenger 
chemical oxygen generators are installed and replacement of affected 
passenger chemical oxygen generators. We are issuing this AD to prevent 
failure of the passenger chemical oxygen generator to activate and 
consequently not deliver oxygen during an emergency, possibly resulting 
in injury to the airplane occupants.

DATES: This AD is effective September 16, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 16, 
2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus Model A318, 
A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the 
Federal Register on October 19, 2015 (80 FR 63136) (``the NPRM''). The 
NPRM was prompted by reports of premature aging of certain passenger 
chemical oxygen generators that resulted in the generators failing to 
activate. The NPRM proposed to require an inspection to determine if 
certain passenger chemical oxygen generators are installed and 
replacement of affected passenger chemical oxygen generators. We are 
issuing this AD to prevent failure of the passenger chemical oxygen 
generator to activate and consequently not deliver oxygen during an 
emergency, possibly resulting in injury to the airplane occupants.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 
2015-0117, dated June 24, 2015; corrected August 7, 2015 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''); to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model 
A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Reports have been received indicating premature ageing of 
certain chemical oxygen generators, Part Number (P/N) 117042-XX (XX 
representing any numerical value), manufactured by B/E Aerospace. 
Some operators reported that when they tried to activate generators, 
some older units failed to activate. Given the number of failed 
units reported, all generators manufactured in 1999, 2000 and 2001 
were considered unreliable.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to failure of the 
generator to activate and consequently not deliver oxygen during an 
emergency, possibly resulting in injury to aeroplane occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus issued Alert 
Operators Transmission (AOT) A35N006-14, making reference to B/E 
Aerospace Service Information Letter (SIL) D1019-01 (currently at 
Revision 1) and B/E Aerospace Service Bulletin (SB) 117042-35-001.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD * * * (later revised) to require 
identification and replacement of the affected oxygen generators.
    Since EASA AD 2014-0275R1 was issued, and following new 
investigation results, EASA have decided to introduce a life 
limitation concerning all P/N 117042-XX chemical oxygen generators, 
manufactured by B/E Aerospace.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the 
requirements of the EASA AD 2014-0275R1, which is superseded, 
expands the scope of the [EASA] AD to include chemical oxygen 
generators manufactured after 2001, and requires their removal from 
service before exceeding 10 years since date of manufacture.
    This [EASA] AD is re-published to correct a template error, 
removing the word `Proposed' and replacing the acronym `PAD' with 
`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-2015-
3989.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM (80 
FR 63136, October 19, 2015) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Requests To Extend Compliance Times

    United Airlines (UAL) and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (DAL) requested an 
extension of the 30-day compliance time for the part number inspection. 
UAL stated that the time required for the part number inspection and 
the size of UAL's fleet is prohibitive to meeting the 30-day compliance 
time and requested that we extend the initial compliance time to 24 
months. DAL stated that the time required for the part number 
inspection and the size of DAL's fleet is prohibitive to meeting the 
30-day compliance time and requested that we extend the initial 
compliance time for the part number inspection to 90 days. DAL pointed 
out that a 90-day compliance time would allow ample time to route 
airplanes and schedule the required work on the first group of affected 
airplanes.
    We disagree with the requests to extend the 30-day compliance time 
for the part number inspection. The commenters did not provide any 
justification to substantiate how increasing the compliance time from 
30 days to 90 days or 24 months would provide an acceptable level of 
safety. After considering all of the available information, we have 
determined that the compliance time, as proposed, represents an 
appropriate interval of time in which the required actions can be 
performed in a timely manner with the affected fleet, while still 
maintaining an adequate level of safety. In developing an appropriated 
compliance time, we considered the safety implications, parts 
availability, and normal maintenance schedules for timely 
accomplishment of the replacement, overall risk to the fleet, including 
the severity of the identified unsafe condition and the likelihood of 
the occurrence of the unsafe condition. However, under the provisions 
of paragraph (n)(1) of this AD, operators may apply for an extension of 
the compliance time by providing rationale explaining why a compliance 
time extension provides an acceptable level of safety. We have not 
changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Revise Cost Estimates

    DAL requested that we revise the Costs of Compliance section 
provided in the NPRM. DAL pointed out that the cost estimate may not 
properly account for the number of products per airplane and that they 
believe the costs are significantly higher than the estimate included 
in the NPRM. DAL also provided revised cost estimates based on their 
fleet.
    We partially agree with the request to revise the Costs of 
Compliance section. We disagree that the cost estimate should be 
revised based on airplane configuration, findings, and associated costs 
based only on the DAL fleet. The configuration of each airplane and 
inspection findings may vary among U.S. operators. We agree that the 
Costs of Compliance section provided in the NPRM might not have 
accurately represented the actual cost. After considering the data 
presented by DAL, we also agree that the number of work-hours required 
is higher than our previous estimate. The Costs of Compliance section 
of this final rule has been revised accordingly.

[[Page 53257]]

Request To Remove Reporting Requirement

    UAL requested that we remove the reporting requirement in the 
proposed AD. UAL pointed out that reporting could expose operators to 
compliance risk. UAL also pointed out that they do not find any value 
in the information being requested by the reporting requirement. UAL 
stated that they will provide any feedback as requested.
    We disagree with the request to remove the reporting requirement. 
We disagree that the information requested provides no value. Reporting 
is necessary for the airframe manufacturer to determine the extent of 
the unsafe condition and any necessary follow-up actions. We have not 
changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Reference Revised Service Information

    Mr. Ricardo Erazo requested that we revise the AD to reference B/E 
Aerospace Service Bulletin 117042-35-001, Revision 004, dated October 
13, 2015. Mr. Erazo did not provide rationale for this request.
    We agree with the request to revise this AD to reference B/E 
Aerospace Service Bulletin 117042-35-001, Revision 004, dated October 
13, 2015, and have revised this AD accordingly. B/E Aerospace Service 
Bulletin 117042-35-001, Revision 004, dated October 13, 2015, clarifies 
references to additional service information. As a result, we have also 
added paragraph (m) to this AD, to give credit for actions accomplished 
before the effective date of this AD using B/E Aerospace Service 
Bulletin 117042-35-001, dated December 10, 2014; B/E Aerospace Service 
Bulletin 117042-35-001, Revision 001, dated April 9, 2015; B/E 
Aerospace Service Bulletin 117042-35-001, Revision 002, dated May 29, 
2015; or B/E Aerospace Service Bulletin 117042-35-001, Revision 003, 
dated June 25, 2015.

Change to Service Information References

    We have revised paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD to refer to 
Airbus AOT A35N006-14, dated December 10, 2014, including Appendix 1, 
as an additional appropriate source of service information for the 15-
minute passenger chemical oxygen generators.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD with the changes described previously and 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.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the 
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following service information.
     Airbus AOT A35N006-14, dated December 10, 2014, including 
Appendix 1.
     B/E Aerospace Inc. Service Bulletin 117042-35-001, 
Revision 004, dated October 13, 2015.
    This service information describes procedures to replace certain 
passenger chemical oxygen generators. 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

                                      = $340.
Reporting..........................  1 work-hour x $85 per hour                0              85          81,005
                                      = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements 
that would be required based on the results of the required inspection. 
We have no way of determining the number of airplanes that might need 
these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for 
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of 
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control 
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in 
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for 
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with 
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden 
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA 
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information 
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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

[[Page 53258]]

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.
