ACTION: Final rule.
We are superseding
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014–13–
12 for all Airbus Model A318, A319,
A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD
2014–13–12 required identifying the
part number and serial number of each
passenger oxygen container, replacing
the oxygen generator manifold of any
affected oxygen container with a
serviceable manifold, performing an
operational check of the manual mask
release, and doing corrective actions if
necessary. This new AD retains the
requirements of AD 2014–13–12, and
requires replacing the oxygen generator
manifold of any affected DAe oxygen
container with a serviceable manifold.
This AD was prompted by reports of
silicon particles inside the oxygen
generator manifolds, which had chafed
from the mask hoses during installation
onto the generator outlets. We are
issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective January 20,
2017.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in this AD
as of January 20, 2017.
The Director of the Federal Register

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2014–13–12,
Amendment 39–17888 (79 FR 45317,
August 5, 2014) (‘‘AD 2014–13–12’’). AD
2014–13–12 applied to all Airbus Model
A318, A319, A320, and A321 series
airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on March 21, 2016 (81
FR 14990). The NPRM was prompted by
reports of silicon particles inside the
oxygen generator manifolds, which had
chafed from the mask hoses during
installation onto the generator outlets.
The NPRM proposed to continue to
require identifying the part number and
E:\FR\FM\16DER1.SGM
16DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 242 / Friday, December 16, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
serial number of each passenger oxygen
container, replacing the oxygen
generator manifold of any affected
oxygen container with a serviceable
manifold, and performing an
operational check of the manual mask
release, and doing corrective actions if
necessary. The NPRM also proposed to
require replacing the oxygen generator
manifold of any affected DAe oxygen
container with a serviceable manifold.
We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct nonserviceable oxygen generator
manifolds, which could reduce or block
the oxygen supply and result in injury
to passengers when oxygen supply is
needed.
The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness
Directive 2014–0208, dated September
16, 2014 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct
an unsafe condition. The MCAI states:
During production of passenger oxygen
containers, the manufacturer, B/E Aerospace,
detected some silicon particles inside the
oxygen generator manifolds. Investigation
revealed that those particles (chips) had
chafed from the mask hoses during
installation onto the generator outlets. It was
discovered that a defective mask hose
installation device had caused the chafing.
This condition, if not detected and
corrected, could reduce or block the oxygen
supply, possibly resulting in injury to
passengers when oxygen supply is needed.
To address this potential unsafe condition,
EASA issued AD 2011–0167 to require the
identification and modification of the
affected oxygen container assemblies. That
[EASA] AD also prohibited the installation of
the affected containers on any aeroplane as
replacement parts. It was subsequently
established that Models A318–121 and
A318–122 were missing from the
Applicability of the [EASA] AD, and
clarification was necessary regarding the
affected containers.
Consequently, EASA issued AD 2012–0083
[which corresponds to FAA AD 2014–13–12],
retaining the requirements of EASA AD
2011–0167, which was superseded,
expanded the Applicability by adding two
aeroplane models, and provided clarity by
providing a list of affected passenger oxygen
containers.
Since that [EASA] AD was issued, it was
found that the affected containers have not
only been marked with company name B/E
Aerospace, as was specified, but also, for a
brief period, with the former company name
DAe Systems.
For the reason described above, this
[EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA
AD 2012–0083, which is superseded, and
expands the affected group of containers to
include those that have the name ‘‘DAe
Systems’’ on the identification plate.
This [EASA] AD also clearly separates the
serial number (s/n) groups of containers into
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
those manufactured by B/E Aerospace and
those manufactured by DAe Systems, for
which additional compliance time is
provided.
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–2016–
4228.
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 Revise Compliance Time
United Airlines (UAL) requested that
we revise the compliance time for DAe
Systems units from within ‘‘2,500 flight
cycles, or 3,750 flight hours, or 12
months, whichever occurs first, after the
effective date of this AD,’’ to within
‘‘5,000 flight cycles, or 7,500 flight
hours, or 24 months, whichever occurs
first after the effective date of this AD.’’
UAL stated that this would make both
units have the same compliance time.
UAL explained that it has inspected 97
out of 152 airplanes in compliance with
AD 2014–13–12, and due to the new
requirements in the NPRM, it will have
to re-start the inspection for the entire
UAL Model A319/A320 fleet.
We do not agree with UAL’s request.
As allowed by the phrase ‘‘unless
already done’’ in paragraph (f) of this
AD, if the inspection required by this
AD has already been accomplished, this
AD does not require that action to be
repeated. The EASA, as the State of
Design Authority for Airbus products,
has determined this AD’s compliance
times based on the overall risk to the
fleet, including the severity of the
failure and the likelihood of the failure’s
occurrence. We are unaware of any
information or data that would
substantiate the compliance time change
that UAL has requested. UAL did not
provide any substantiation to support its
request. The EASA works closely with
Airbus to ensure that all appropriate
actions are taken at the appropriate
times to mitigate risk to the fleet to meet
our collective safety goals. Under the
provisions of paragraph (q)(1) of this
AD, we will consider requests for
approval of an extension of the
compliance time if sufficient data are
submitted to substantiate that the
change would provide an acceptable
level of safety. We have not changed
this AD in this regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data,
including the comment received, and
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
90965
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this 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 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
B/E AEROSPACE has issued Service
Bulletins 1XCXX–0100–35–005 and
22CXX–0100–35–003, both Revision 2,
both dated July 10, 2014. The service
information describes procedures for
replacement of the oxygen generator
manifold. These service bulletins are
distinct since they apply to different
products.
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 22
airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions required by AD 2014–13–
12, and retained in this AD take about
6 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
2014–13–12 is $510 per product.
We also estimate that it takes about 6
work-hours per product to comply with
the basic requirements of this AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Based on these figures, we estimate the
cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be
$11,220, or $510 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.

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-13-12 for
all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2014-
13-12 required identifying the part number and serial number of each
passenger oxygen container, replacing the oxygen generator manifold of
any affected oxygen container with a serviceable manifold, performing
an operational check of the manual mask release, and doing corrective
actions if necessary. This new AD retains the requirements of AD 2014-
13-12, and requires replacing the oxygen generator manifold of any
affected DAe oxygen container with a serviceable manifold. This AD was
prompted by reports of silicon particles inside the oxygen generator
manifolds, which had chafed from the mask hoses during installation
onto the generator outlets. We are issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective January 20, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2014-13-12, Amendment 39-17888 (79 FR 45317,
August 5, 2014) (``AD 2014-13-12''). AD 2014-13-12 applied to all
Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on March 21, 2016 (81 FR 14990). The
NPRM was prompted by reports of silicon particles inside the oxygen
generator manifolds, which had chafed from the mask hoses during
installation onto the generator outlets. The NPRM proposed to continue
to require identifying the part number and
[[Page 90965]]
serial number of each passenger oxygen container, replacing the oxygen
generator manifold of any affected oxygen container with a serviceable
manifold, and performing an operational check of the manual mask
release, and doing corrective actions if necessary. The NPRM also
proposed to require replacing the oxygen generator manifold of any
affected DAe oxygen container with a serviceable manifold. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct nonserviceable oxygen generator
manifolds, which could reduce or block the oxygen supply and result in
injury to passengers when oxygen supply is needed.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0208, dated September 16, 2014 (referred
to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition. The MCAI states:
During production of passenger oxygen containers, the
manufacturer, B/E Aerospace, detected some silicon particles inside
the oxygen generator manifolds. Investigation revealed that those
particles (chips) had chafed from the mask hoses during installation
onto the generator outlets. It was discovered that a defective mask
hose installation device had caused the chafing.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could reduce or
block the oxygen supply, possibly resulting in injury to passengers
when oxygen supply is needed.
To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2011-
0167 to require the identification and modification of the affected
oxygen container assemblies. That [EASA] AD also prohibited the
installation of the affected containers on any aeroplane as
replacement parts. It was subsequently established that Models A318-
121 and A318-122 were missing from the Applicability of the [EASA]
AD, and clarification was necessary regarding the affected
containers.
Consequently, EASA issued AD 2012-0083 [which corresponds to FAA
AD 2014-13-12], retaining the requirements of EASA AD 2011-0167,
which was superseded, expanded the Applicability by adding two
aeroplane models, and provided clarity by providing a list of
affected passenger oxygen containers.
Since that [EASA] AD was issued, it was found that the affected
containers have not only been marked with company name B/E
Aerospace, as was specified, but also, for a brief period, with the
former company name DAe Systems.
For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2012-0083, which is superseded, and expands
the affected group of containers to include those that have the name
``DAe Systems'' on the identification plate.
This [EASA] AD also clearly separates the serial number (s/n)
groups of containers into those manufactured by B/E Aerospace and
those manufactured by DAe Systems, for which additional compliance
time is provided.

4228.
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 Revise Compliance Time
United Airlines (UAL) requested that we revise the compliance time
for DAe Systems units from within ``2,500 flight cycles, or 3,750
flight hours, or 12 months, whichever occurs first, after the effective
date of this AD,'' to within ``5,000 flight cycles, or 7,500 flight
hours, or 24 months, whichever occurs first after the effective date of
this AD.'' UAL stated that this would make both units have the same
compliance time. UAL explained that it has inspected 97 out of 152
airplanes in compliance with AD 2014-13-12, and due to the new
requirements in the NPRM, it will have to re-start the inspection for
the entire UAL Model A319/A320 fleet.
We do not agree with UAL's request. As allowed by the phrase
``unless already done'' in paragraph (f) of this AD, if the inspection
required by this AD has already been accomplished, this AD does not
require that action to be repeated. The EASA, as the State of Design
Authority for Airbus products, has determined this AD's compliance
times based on the overall risk to the fleet, including the severity of
the failure and the likelihood of the failure's occurrence. We are
unaware of any information or data that would substantiate the
compliance time change that UAL has requested. UAL did not provide any
substantiation to support its request. The EASA works closely with
Airbus to ensure that all appropriate actions are taken at the
appropriate times to mitigate risk to the fleet to meet our collective
safety goals. Under the provisions of paragraph (q)(1) of this AD, we
will consider requests for approval of an extension of the compliance
time if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the change
would provide an acceptable level of safety. We have not changed this
AD in this regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this 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 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
B/E AEROSPACE has issued Service Bulletins 1XCXX-0100-35-005 and
22CXX-0100-35-003, both Revision 2, both dated July 10, 2014. The
service information describes procedures for replacement of the oxygen
generator manifold. These service bulletins are distinct since they
apply to different products.
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 22 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions required by AD 2014-13-12, and retained in this AD take
about 6 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 2014-13-12 is $510 per product.
We also estimate that it takes about 6 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD on U.S. operators to be $11,220, or $510 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
[[Page 90966]]
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
