DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2015–4202; Directorate Identifier 2014–NM–016–AD; Amendment 39–18583; AD 2016–14–02] RIN 2120–AA64 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012–18– 12 for certain Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. AD 2012–18–12 required modifying the offwing escape slide (OWS) enclosures on the left-hand (LH) side and right-hand (RH) side of the fuselage. This new AD retains the requirements of AD 2012– 18–12 and expands the applicability to all Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that additional OWS part numbers have been affected. We are issuing this AD to prevent off-wing exits on the LH and RH sides of the fuselage from becoming inoperative. During an emergency, inoperative off-wing exits could impair the safe evacuation of occupants, possibly resulting in personal injuries. DATES: This AD becomes effective August 12, 2016. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 12, 2016. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of October 22, 2012 (77 FR 57003, September 17, 2012). jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:29 Jul 07, 2016 Jkt 238001 For Airbus service information identified in this final rule, contact Airbus, Airworthiness Office— EIAS, 1 Rond Point Maurice Bellonte, 31707 Blagnac Cedex, France; telephone +33 5 61 93 36 96; fax +33 5 61 93 44 51; email account.airworth-eas@ airbus.com; Internet https:// www.airbus.com.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2012–18–12, Amendment 39–17189 (77 FR 57003, September 17, 2012) (‘‘AD 2012–18– 12’’). AD 2012–18–12 applied to certain Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. The NPRM published PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 in the Federal Register on October 23, 2015 (80 FR 64375) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM was prompted by reports that additional OWS part numbers have been affected. The NPRM proposed to retain the requirements of AD 2012–18–12, and to expand the applicability to all Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent off-wing exits on the LH and RH sides of the fuselage from becoming inoperative. During an emergency, inoperative off-wing exits could impair the safe evacuation of occupants, possibly resulting in personal injuries. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2014–0025R1, dated May 26, 2014 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition on all Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. The MCAI states: One operator reported a torn out aspirator during scheduled deployment (for on ground testing purposes) of the Left Hand (LH) offwing [escape] slide (OWS). Investigation results revealed that the aspirator of the OWS system interfered with the extrusion lip of the OWS enclosure during the initial stage of the deployment sequence. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to an off-wing exit, either LH or Right Hand (RH), becoming unserviceable, which, during an emergency situation, could impair the safe evacuation of occupants, possibly resulting in personal injuries. To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus issued Service Bulletin (SB) A320– 25–1649 containing modification instructions for certain part number (P/N) OWS enclosures. Consequently, EASA issued [EASA] AD 2010–0210 [https:// ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2010–0210, which corresponds to FAA AD 2012–18–12] to require modification of the affected OWS enclosures. Since that [EASA] AD was issued, several other OWS P/N[s] have been identified as potentially impacted. For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA AD 2010–0210, which is superseded, expands the Applicability to all A318, A319 and A320 aeroplanes, and expands the batch of affected P/N[s] prohibited to be installed on an aeroplane. For the reason described above, EASA issued AD 2014–0025, retaining the requirements of EASA AD 2010–0210, which was superseded, expanding the Applicability to all A318, A319 and A320 aeroplanes, and expanding the batch of affected P/N[s] E:\FR\FM\08JYR1.SGM 08JYR1 44490 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 131 / Friday, July 8, 2016 / Rules and Regulations prohibited to be installed on an aeroplane. That [EASA] AD also retained the requirements of * * * [an AD, which was superseded], which required modification of the OWS and its aspirator. This [EASA] AD is revised to amend paragraphs (1) and (3) to restore the original ´ ´ applicability of [a Direction Generale de l’Aviation Civile] DGAC France AD and EASA AD 2010–0210, respectively, and to correct paragraph (2) to give credit for certain production modifications that were equivalent for the in-service actions previously required by [a] DGAC France AD. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at https:// www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 4202. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to the comment. jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES Request To Change Parts Installation Prohibitions United Airlines (United) asked for clarification of the language in paragraph (k) of the proposed AD, which would prohibit the installation of OWS part numbers (P/Ns) including D31865–109, D31865–110, D31865–209, and D31865–210, as identified in paragraph (h)(2) of the proposed AD, but also specifies accomplishing the modification required by paragraph (g) of the proposed AD. United stated that the modification converts those part numbers into D31865–309, D31865–311, D31865–310, and D31865–312, respectively. Therefore, United suggested we remove any language allowing installation of P/Ns D31865– 109, D31865–110, D31865–209, and D31865–210 from the proposed AD. We agree that clarification is necessary. We have moved the language in paragraph (h)(1) of the proposed AD into paragraph (h) of this AD and removed paragraph (h)(2) from this AD. We have also removed the language in paragraph (k) of the proposed AD which specified ‘‘except as required by paragraph (h)(2) of this AD for the OWS enclosures identified in paragraph (h) of this AD.’’ And where paragraph (l)(2) of the proposed AD referred to ‘‘paragraph (h)(2),’’ we have changed this reference to paragraph (h) of this AD. Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described previously, VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:29 Jul 07, 2016 Jkt 238001 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 has issued the following service information. • Airbus Service Bulletin A320–25– 1156, Revision 03, dated December 5, 2001. This service information describes procedures for modifying OWS enclosures having P/Ns D31865–101, D31865–102, D31865–103, D31865–104, D31865–105, D31865–106, D31865–107, or D31865–108 of certain Airbus Model A319 and A320 series airplanes. • Airbus Service Bulletin A320–25– 1649, dated February 16, 2010. This service information describes procedures for modifying and installing OWS enclosures having P/Ns D31865– 109, D31865–110, D31865–209, or D31865–210, on the LH and RH sides of the fuselage on certain Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. Air Cruisers has issued Service Bulletin A320 004–25–84, Revision 4, dated November 9, 2012. This service information describes procedures for modifying the LH and RH OWS. 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 851 airplanes of U.S. registry. The actions required by AD 2012–18– 12 and retained in this AD take about 14 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost $0 per product. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are required by AD 2012–18–12 is $1,190 per product. We also estimate that it takes about 48 work-hours per product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost $0 per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $3,472,080, or $4,080 per product. 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.

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2006–13– 05 for certain Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL (type certificate previously held by Pacific Aerospace Corporation Ltd.) airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as some critical rivets on the wing not being fully age-hardened and being installed in specific locations where reduction in rivet strength reduces wing strength. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products. SUMMARY: This AD is effective August 12, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL (type certificate previously held by Pacific Aerospace Corporation Ltd.) airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on April 12, 2016 (81 FR 21489), and proposed to supersede AD 2006–13–05, Amendment 39–14658 (71 FR 35509, June 21, 2006) (‘‘AD 2006–13–05’’). Since we issued AD 2006–13–05, additional airplanes have been identified that need to be added to the applicability of the AD. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which is the aviation authority for New Zealand, has issued AD No. DCA/ 750XL/7B, dated February 25, 2016 (referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: DCA/750XL/7B revised to introduce PACSB/XL/018 issue 4, dated 20 January 2016, which reduces the applicability to S/ N 101 through to 131 with no change to the requirements. Aircraft with S/N 132 onwards have been modified in accordance with PACSB/XL/018 at manufacture, which is a terminating action for the requirements of this AD. This AD requires you to remove rivets that have not been fully age hardened and replace them with bolts, washers, and nuts in specific locations where reduction in rivet strength affects overall structural capability. The AD retains the airplane weight AFM limitations until the rivets are replaced with the bolts, washers, and nuts. You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov/ #!docketDetail;D=FAA-2016-5578-002. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (81 FR 21489, April 12, 2016) or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 21489, April 12, 2016) for correcting the unsafe condition; and • Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM (81 FR 21489, April 12, 2016).

Amendment 39-18583; AD 2016-14-02]
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) 2012-18-12 for 
certain Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. AD 2012-18-
12 required modifying the off-wing escape slide (OWS) enclosures on the 
left-hand (LH) side and right-hand (RH) side of the fuselage. This new 
AD retains the requirements of AD 2012-18-12 and expands the 
applicability to all Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series 
airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that additional OWS part 
numbers have been affected. We are issuing this AD to prevent off-wing 
exits on the LH and RH sides of the fuselage from becoming inoperative. 
During an emergency, inoperative off-wing exits could impair the safe 
evacuation of occupants, possibly resulting in personal injuries.

DATES: This AD becomes effective August 12, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 12, 
2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to supersede AD 2012-18-12, Amendment 39-17189 (77 FR 57003, 
September 17, 2012) (``AD 2012-18-12''). AD 2012-18-12 applied to 
certain Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. The NPRM 
published in the Federal Register on October 23, 2015 (80 FR 64375) 
(``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by reports that additional OWS 
part numbers have been affected. The NPRM proposed to retain the 
requirements of AD 2012-18-12, and to expand the applicability to all 
Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. We are issuing this 
AD to prevent off-wing exits on the LH and RH sides of the fuselage 
from becoming inoperative. During an emergency, inoperative off-wing 
exits could impair the safe evacuation of occupants, possibly resulting 
in personal injuries.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0025R1, dated May 26, 2014 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on all Airbus Model A318, 
A319, and A320 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    One operator reported a torn out aspirator during scheduled 
deployment (for on ground testing purposes) of the Left Hand (LH) 
off-wing [escape] slide (OWS). Investigation results revealed that 
the aspirator of the OWS system interfered with the extrusion lip of 
the OWS enclosure during the initial stage of the deployment 
sequence.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to an off-wing 
exit, either LH or Right Hand (RH), becoming unserviceable, which, 
during an emergency situation, could impair the safe evacuation of 
occupants, possibly resulting in personal injuries.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus issued 
Service Bulletin (SB) A320-25-1649 containing modification 
instructions for certain part number (P/N) OWS enclosures. 
Consequently, EASA issued [EASA] AD 2010-0210 [https://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2010-0210, which corresponds to FAA AD 2012-18-
12] to require modification of the affected OWS enclosures.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, several other OWS P/N[s] have 
been identified as potentially impacted.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the 
requirements of EASA AD 2010-0210, which is superseded, expands the 
Applicability to all A318, A319 and A320 aeroplanes, and expands the 
batch of affected P/N[s] prohibited to be installed on an aeroplane.
    For the reason described above, EASA issued AD 2014-0025, 
retaining the requirements of EASA AD 2010-0210, which was 
superseded, expanding the Applicability to all A318, A319 and A320 
aeroplanes, and expanding the batch of affected P/N[s]

[[Page 44490]]

prohibited to be installed on an aeroplane. That [EASA] AD also 
retained the requirements of * * * [an AD, which was superseded], 
which required modification of the OWS and its aspirator.
    This [EASA] AD is revised to amend paragraphs (1) and (3) to 
restore the original applicability of [a Direction 
G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation Civile] DGAC France AD and EASA 
AD 2010-0210, respectively, and to correct paragraph (2) to give 
credit for certain production modifications that were equivalent for 
the in-service actions previously required by [a] DGAC France AD.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
4202.

Comments

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

Request To Change Parts Installation Prohibitions

    United Airlines (United) asked for clarification of the language in 
paragraph (k) of the proposed AD, which would prohibit the installation 
of OWS part numbers (P/Ns) including D31865-109, D31865-110, D31865-
209, and D31865-210, as identified in paragraph (h)(2) of the proposed 
AD, but also specifies accomplishing the modification required by 
paragraph (g) of the proposed AD. United stated that the modification 
converts those part numbers into D31865-309, D31865-311, D31865-310, 
and D31865-312, respectively. Therefore, United suggested we remove any 
language allowing installation of P/Ns D31865-109, D31865-110, D31865-
209, and D31865-210 from the proposed AD.
    We agree that clarification is necessary. We have moved the 
language in paragraph (h)(1) of the proposed AD into paragraph (h) of 
this AD and removed paragraph (h)(2) from this AD. We have also removed 
the language in paragraph (k) of the proposed AD which specified 
``except as required by paragraph (h)(2) of this AD for the OWS 
enclosures identified in paragraph (h) of this AD.'' And where 
paragraph (l)(2) of the proposed AD referred to ``paragraph (h)(2),'' 
we have changed this reference to paragraph (h) of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment 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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued the following service information.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A320-25-1156, Revision 03, dated 
December 5, 2001. This service information describes procedures for 
modifying OWS enclosures having P/Ns D31865-101, D31865-102, D31865-
103, D31865-104, D31865-105, D31865-106, D31865-107, or D31865-108 of 
certain Airbus Model A319 and A320 series airplanes.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A320-25-1649, dated February 16, 
2010. This service information describes procedures for modifying and 
installing OWS enclosures having P/Ns D31865-109, D31865-110, D31865-
209, or D31865-210, on the LH and RH sides of the fuselage on certain 
Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes.
    Air Cruisers has issued Service Bulletin A320 004-25-84, Revision 
4, dated November 9, 2012. This service information describes 
procedures for modifying the LH and RH OWS.
    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 851 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions required by AD 2012-18-12 and retained in this AD take 
about 14 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per 
work-hour. Required parts will cost $0 per product. Based on these 
figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are required by AD 
2012-18-12 is $1,190 per product.
    We also estimate that it takes about 48 work-hours per product to 
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate 
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost $0 per product. Based on 
these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be 
$3,472,080, or $4,080 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.
