ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014–23– 15 for all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2014–23–15 required revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new, more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This new AD retains the requirement to revise the maintenance or inspection program and removes a conflicting requirement. This AD was prompted by a determination that certain limitations required by AD 2014–23–15 conflict with limitations required by another AD. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking, accidental damage, or corrosion in principal structural elements, and possible failure of certain life limited parts, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. DATES: This AD becomes effective March 23, 2015. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of March 2, 2015 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015). The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of August 22, 2011 (76 FR 42024, July 18, 2011). The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of November 7, 2007 (72 FR 56262, October 3, 2007).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion On December 23, 2014, we issued AD 2014–23–15, Amendment 39–18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), to supersede AD 2011–14–06, Amendment 39–16741 (76 FR 42024, July 18, 2011). AD 2014– 23–15 applied to all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2014–23–15 was prompted by the determination that more restrictive airworthiness limitations were necessary. AD 2014– 23–15 required revising the maintenance program to incorporate new, more restrictive airworthiness limitations. We issued AD 2014–23–15 to prevent fatigue cracking, accidental damage, or corrosion in principal structural elements, and possible failure PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 of certain life limited parts, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. AD 2014–23–15, Amendment 39– 18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), corresponds to Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information (MCAI) European Aviation Safety Agency Airworthiness Directives 2012–0008, dated January 16, 2012; and 2013–0147, dated July 16, 2013. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at https:// www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 0489. Since we issued AD 2014–23–15, Amendment 39–18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), we have determined that certain limitations required by AD 2014–23–15 conflict with limitations required by AD 2014–26–10, Amendment 39–18061 (80 FR 2813, January 21, 2015). Paragraph (n) of AD 2014–23–15 requires revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the airworthiness limitations specified in paragraphs (n)(1), (n)(2), and (n)(3) of AD 2014–23–15. Paragraph (n)(3) of AD 2014–23–15 references Airbus A318/ A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4—Ageing Systems Maintenance, dated January 8, 2008. However, paragraph (g) of AD 2014–26–10 requires revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate Airbus A318/ A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section, ALS Part 4, Aging Systems Maintenance, Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012. Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section, ALS Part 4, Aging Systems Maintenance, Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012, contains the most recent airworthiness limitations for ALS Part 4. Therefore, Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4—Ageing Systems Maintenance, dated January 8, 2008, should not be incorporated as required by AD 2014– 23–15, Amendment 39–18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015). We have removed paragraph (n)(3) of AD 2014– 23–15 from this AD. We have also revised the introductory text of paragraph (n) of this AD to refer only to paragraphs (n)(1) and (n)(2) of this AD. FAA’s Determination and Requirements of This 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 issuing this E:\FR\FM\23MRR1.SGM 23MRR1 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 55 / Monday, March 23, 2015 / Rules and Regulations AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these same type designs. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES FAA’s Determination of the Effective Date An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because operators must comply with the most recent airworthiness limitations, which are specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4—Ageing Systems Maintenance, Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012, as required by AD 2014–26–10, Amendment 39–18061 (80 FR 2813, January 21, 2015). Since AD 2014–23– 15, Amendment 39–18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), requires an earlier version of the airworthiness limitations, i.e., Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4—Ageing Systems Maintenance, dated January 8, 2008, we must remove that requirement in order to avoid a conflict with certain requirements of AD 2014–26–10. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days. Comments Invited This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2015–0489; Directorate Identifier 2015–NM–013– AD’’ at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of those comments. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to https:// www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD affects 851 airplanes of U.S. registry. The actions required by AD 2014–23– 15, Amendment 39–18031 (80 FR 3871, VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:11 Mar 20, 2015 Jkt 235001 January 26, 2015), and retained in this AD take about 2 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 were required by AD 2014–23–15 is $170 per product. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 15153 PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by removing airworthiness directive (AD) 2014–23–15, Amendment 39–18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), and adding the following new AD: ■ 2015–05–02 Airbus: Amendment 39–18112.

The Commission is amending Rules 2.7 and 2.10 to provide the Office of Policy Planning (‘‘OPP’’) Director and Deputy Directors with the authority to modify the terms of compliance with compulsory process, alter the meet-andconfer prerequisite, and extend the deadline for filing a petition to limit or quash compulsory process. This change reflects OPP’s role in frequently conducting and leading studies under section 6(b) of the FTC Act. The Commission is also revising Rule 2.10(c) to impose a 40-day deadline for disposing of petitions to limit or quash compulsory process. In part 3 of its Rules, the Commission is amending Rule 3.26 to make clear that administrative litigation will be suspended if respondents file a qualifying motion for withdrawal or dismissal after a district court denies preliminary injunctive relief in an ancillary proceeding brought under section 13(b) of the FTC Act. As discussed below, the Commission will continue to follow the 1995 Policy Statement Regarding Administrative Merger Litigation Following the Denial of a Preliminary Injunction 1 and consider the specific circumstances of each case when deciding whether to pursue administrative litigation. In addition, the Commission is revising the Part 3 rules to correct typographical errors, ensure consistency between sections, clarify paragraph headings, and make other technical changes. In part 4 of its Rules, the Commission is revising the procedures and contact information for accessing public records in Rule 4.9, making a technical correction to Rule 4.11, and updating the names of exempt Privacy Act systems in Rule 4.13. Because these rule revisions relate solely to agency procedure and practice, publication for notice and comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act. 5 U.S.C. 553(b).2 These rule revisions are effective on March 23, 2015.

Revisions to Rules of Practice for Nonadjudicative Investigations (Part 2) In 2012, the Commission undertook an extensive revision of its rules governing the conduct of its investigations.3 The Commission is now revising certain of those rules to promote fairness, flexibility, and efficiency in FTC investigations, which includes studies conducted under section 6(b) of the FTC Act. Rules 2.7(l) and 2.10(a)(5): Officials With Authority To Modify Compulsory Process and Extend the Deadline for Petitions To Quash The Commission is revising Rules 2.7(l) and 2.10(a)(5) to reflect the fact that the FTC’s Office of Policy Planning frequently conducts and leads section 6(b) studies. The Commission is amending Rule 2.7(l) to include the Office of Policy Planning Director and Deputy Directors among the identified Commission officials authorized to modify the terms of compliance with orders to file special reports under section 6(b) of the FTC Act and other forms of compulsory process. Commission rules provide that the officials designated in Rule 2.7(l) also have the power to modify the manner and form of production of electronically stored information (in Rule 2.7(j)), and alter the meet-and-confer prerequisite for filing a petition to limit or quash compulsory process (in Rule 2.7(k)). Consistent with these amendments, the Commission is also revising Rule 2.10(a)(5) to state that the Office of Policy Planning Director and Deputy Directors are authorized to extend the deadline for filing a petition to limit or quash. The revised rules will better reflect Commission practice and provide further flexibility and efficiency for 6(b) studies and other investigations. Rule 2.10(c): Disposition of Petitions To Limit or Quash Compulsory Process The Commission revised Rule 2.10 in 2012 to eliminate the two-step procedure for rulings on petitions to limit or quash compulsory process by requiring the full Commission to rule on the petition in the first instance. The rule also imposed a 30-day deadline for disposition of the petition. The Commission received no comments regarding this provision, and adopted it as proposed, noting that if the Commission did not meet the deadline, the petition would not be automatically granted or denied.4 To enable sufficient time for full Commission review of the merits of the petition, the Commission 3 See 4 77 Rules of Practice, 77 FR 59294 (2012).

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-23-15 for 
all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2014-
23-15 required revising the maintenance or inspection program to 
incorporate new, more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This new 
AD retains the requirement to revise the maintenance or inspection 
program and removes a conflicting requirement. This AD was prompted by 
a determination that certain limitations required by AD 2014-23-15 
conflict with limitations required by another AD. We are issuing this 
AD to prevent fatigue cracking, accidental damage, or corrosion in 
principal structural elements, and possible failure of certain life 
limited parts, which could result in reduced structural integrity of 
the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 23, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of March 2, 2015 
(80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015).
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of August 
22, 2011 (76 FR 42024, July 18, 2011).
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of 
November 7, 2007 (72 FR 56262, October 3, 2007).
    We must receive comments on this AD by May 7, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On December 23, 2014, we issued AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 
(80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), to supersede AD 2011-14-06, Amendment 
39-16741 (76 FR 42024, July 18, 2011). AD 2014-23-15 applied to all 
Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2014-23-15 
was prompted by the determination that more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations were necessary. AD 2014-23-15 required revising the 
maintenance program to incorporate new, more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations. We issued AD 2014-23-15 to prevent fatigue cracking, 
accidental damage, or corrosion in principal structural elements, and 
possible failure of certain life limited parts, which could result in 
reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
    AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), 
corresponds to Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information (MCAI) 
European Aviation Safety Agency Airworthiness Directives 2012-0008, 
dated January 16, 2012; and 2013-0147, dated July 16, 2013. You may 
examine the MCAI on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov by 
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-0489.
    Since we issued AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, 
January 26, 2015), we have determined that certain limitations required 
by AD 2014-23-15 conflict with limitations required by AD 2014-26-10, 
Amendment 39-18061 (80 FR 2813, January 21, 2015). Paragraph (n) of AD 
2014-23-15 requires revising the maintenance or inspection program, as 
applicable, to incorporate the airworthiness limitations specified in 
paragraphs (n)(1), (n)(2), and (n)(3) of AD 2014-23-15. Paragraph 
(n)(3) of AD 2014-23-15 references Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 
4--Ageing Systems Maintenance, dated January 8, 2008. However, 
paragraph (g) of AD 2014-26-10 requires revising the maintenance or 
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate Airbus A318/A319/
A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section, ALS Part 4, Aging Systems 
Maintenance, Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012.
    Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section, ALS 
Part 4, Aging Systems Maintenance, Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012, 
contains the most recent airworthiness limitations for ALS Part 4. 
Therefore, Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4--Ageing Systems 
Maintenance, dated January 8, 2008, should not be incorporated as 
required by AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 
2015). We have removed paragraph (n)(3) of AD 2014-23-15 from this AD. 
We have also revised the introductory text of paragraph (n) of this AD 
to refer only to paragraphs (n)(1) and (n)(2) of this AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This 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 issuing this

[[Page 15153]]

AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined the 
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other 
products of these same type designs.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of 
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies 
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because 
operators must comply with the most recent airworthiness limitations, 
which are specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4--Ageing 
Systems Maintenance, Revision 01, dated June 15, 2012, as required by 
AD 2014-26-10, Amendment 39-18061 (80 FR 2813, January 21, 2015). Since 
AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), 
requires an earlier version of the airworthiness limitations, i.e., 
Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4--Ageing Systems Maintenance, 
dated January 8, 2008, we must remove that requirement in order to 
avoid a conflict with certain requirements of AD 2014-26-10. Therefore, 
we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before 
issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for making 
this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight 
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public 
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or 
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under 
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2015-0489; Directorate 
Identifier 2015-NM-013-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We 
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, 
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all 
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of 
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We 
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we 
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 851 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions required by AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 
3871, January 26, 2015), and retained in this AD take about 2 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 were required 
by AD 2014-23-15 is $170 per product.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by 
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the 
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing airworthiness directive (AD) 
2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, January 26, 2015), and 
adding the following new AD:

2015-05-02 Airbus: Amendment 39-18112. Docket No. FAA-2015-0489; 
Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-013-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD becomes effective March 23, 2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, 
January 26, 2015).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Airbus Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -
122 airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, 
and -133 airplanes; Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, 
and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -
213, -231, and -232 airplanes; certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 05, Periodic 
Inspections.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a determination that certain limitations 
required by AD 2014-23-15, Amendment 39-18031 (80 FR 3871, January 
26, 2015), conflict with limitations required by AD 2014-26-10, 
Amendment 39-18061 (80 FR 2813, January 21, 2015). We are issuing 
this AD to prevent fatigue cracking, accidental damage, or corrosion 
in principal structural elements, and possible failure of certain 
life limited parts, which could result in reduced structural 
integrity of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 
unless already done.

(g) Retained Revision of Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) to 
Incorporate Safe Life Airworthiness Limitation Items (ALIs), With No
