14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2016-9069; Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-012-AD; 
Amendment 39-18821; AD 2017-05-10]
RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-16-02 for 
all Airbus Model A330 series airplanes. AD 2015-16-02 required revising 
the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate certain 
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. This new AD 
requires revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate 
new maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. This AD was 
prompted by a revision of the airworthiness limitations items (ALI) 
document, which provides new and more restrictive maintenance 
requirements and airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and 
systems. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on 
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 17, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 17, 
2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of 
September 15, 2015 (80 FR 48019, August 11, 2015).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to supersede AD 2015-16-02, Amendment 39-18227 (80 FR 48019, 
August 11, 2015) (``AD 2015-16-02''). AD 2015-16-02 applied to all 
Airbus Model A330 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal 
Register on September 12, 2016 (81 FR 62672). The NPRM was prompted by 
a revision of the ALI document, which provides new and more restrictive 
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations for airplane 
structures and systems. The NPRM proposed to require revising the 
maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new maintenance 
requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to 
prevent reduced structural integrity and reduced control of these 
airplanes due to the failure of system components.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 
2016-0011, dated January 13, 2016 (referred to after this as the 
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to 
correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A330 and A340 series 
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The airworthiness limitations are currently defined and 
published in the Airbus A330 and A340 Airworthiness Limitations 
Section (ALS) documents. The airworthiness limitations applicable to 
the System Equipment Maintenance Requirements, which are approved by 
EASA, are specified in Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 4. Failure to 
comply with these instructions could result in an unsafe condition.
    EASA issued AD 2013-0268 (for A330 aeroplanes) [which 
corresponds to FAA AD 2015-16-02] and AD 2013-0269 (for A340 
aeroplanes) [which corresponds to FAA AD 2014-23-17, Amendment 39-
18033 (79 FR 71304, December 2, 2014) (``AD 2014-23-17'')] to 
require the actions as specified in Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 4 
at Revision 04 and Revision 03, respectively.
    Since those [EASA] ADs were issued, Airbus issued Revision 05 
and Revision 04, respectively, of Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 4, 
which introduce new and more restrictive maintenance requirements 
and/or airworthiness limitations.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the 
requirements of EASA AD 2013-0268 and AD 2013-0269, which are 
superseded, and require accomplishment of the actions specified in 
Airbus A330 ALS Part 4 Revision 05, or A340 ALS Part 4 Revision 04, 
as applicable (hereafter collectively referred to as `the ALS' in 
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-2016-
9069.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and 
the FAA's response to each comment.

[[Page 13380]]

Request To Adopt ALS Variation

    American Airlines (AAL) requested that Airbus A330 ALS Part 4--
System Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR)--Variation 5.1, dated 
December 20, 2015 (``Variation 5.1''), also be adopted in the final 
rule. AAL noted that Variation 5.1 was approved as an alternative 
method of compliance (AMOC) to AD 2015-16-02 via ANM-116-16-272, dated 
April 13, 2016.
    We agree that AMOCs approved previously for AD 2015-16-02 continue 
to be approved as AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of paragraph 
(g) of this AD, as stated in paragraph (l)(1)(ii) of this AD. We also 
agree to include Variation 5.1 as a method of compliance for the 
requirements of paragraph (j) of this AD for components specified in 
Variation 5.1. We have revised paragraph (j) of this AD accordingly.

Request To Re-Open the Comment Period

    Airbus requested that we re-open the comment period specified in 
the NPRM in order to introduce Revision 06 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 4--
SEMR. Airbus pointed out that, since the MCAI was published, multiple 
new variations to Airbus A330 ALS Part 4 have been issued and have been 
or are being approved by EASA. Airbus stated that these variations will 
be included in Revision 06 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 4--SEMR, which is 
expected to be approved under Airbus's EASA Design Organization 
Approval in mid-January 2017. Airbus asserted that a new EASA AD will 
be issued to supersede EASA AD 2016-0011 once Revision 06 is issued.
    We disagree. We have determined that more restrictive maintenance 
requirements and airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and 
systems are necessary to prevent reduced structural integrity and 
reduced control of these airplanes, due to the failure of system 
components. Therefore, we do not consider that delaying this action by 
reopening the comment period until such time as the manufacturer's 
planned service information is released is warranted, since the 
necessary service information is currently available. However, under 
the provisions of paragraph (l)(1) of this AD, we will consider 
requests for approval to use Revision 06 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 4--
SEMR once it is approved and available. We have not changed the AD in 
this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this 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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus issued A330 ALS Part 4--SEMR, Revision 05, dated October 19, 
2015. This service information describes preventative maintenance 
requirements and associated airworthiness limitations applicable to 
aircraft systems susceptible to aging effects.
    Airbus also issued Airbus A330 ALS Part 4--System Equipment 
Maintenance Requirements (SEMR)--Variation 5.1, dated December 20, 
2015. This service information describes revising the maintenance or 
inspection program by increasing the life limits for certain 
components.
    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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 104 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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 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.
