ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus SAS Model A300 series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a
report that indicated that bleed and air
conditioning systems were
contaminated by hydraulic fluid, and by
an investigation that revealed that
hydraulic fluid contaminations caused
the failure of check valves installed on
the hydraulic reservoir air
pressurization system. This AD requires
repetitive functional tests of the
hydraulic reservoir air pressurization
lines, and repair or replacement if
necessary, as specified in a European
Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
AD, which is incorporated by reference.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The EASA, which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD
2019–0190, dated July 31, 2019 (‘‘EASA
AD 2019–0190’’) (also referred to as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct
an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS
Model A300 series airplanes.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to all Airbus SAS Model A300
series airplanes. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on October 28,
E:\FR\FM\24JAR1.SGM
24JAR1
4202
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 16 / Friday, January 24, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
2019 (84 FR 57663). The NPRM was
prompted by a report that indicated that
bleed and air conditioning systems were
contaminated by hydraulic fluid, and by
an investigation that revealed that
hydraulic fluid contaminations caused
the failure of check valves installed on
the hydraulic reservoir air
pressurization system. The NPRM
proposed to require repetitive functional
tests of the hydraulic reservoir air
pressurization lines, and repair or
replacement if necessary.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address
bleed and air conditioning systems
contaminated by hydraulic fluid, which,
if not detected and corrected, could lead
to leakage of pressurization check
valves, and, in case of pressurization
line rupture, to loss of a hydraulic
system, possibly resulting in reduced
control of the airplane. See the MCAI for
additional background information.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the
opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. We have considered the
comment received. The Air Line Pilots
Association, International (ALPA) stated
that it supports NPRM.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this
final rule as proposed, except for minor
editorial changes. The FAA has
determined that these minor changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM for
addressing the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part
51
EASA AD 2019–0190 describes
procedures for repetitive functional tests
of the hydraulic reservoir air
pressurization lines, and repair or
replacement if necessary. This material
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
The FAA estimates that this AD
affects 1 airplane of U.S. registry. The
FAA estimates the following costs to
comply with this AD:
ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS *
Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per
product
Cost on U.S.
operators
2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ..........................................................................................
$0
$170
$170
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting.
The FAA estimates that it would take
about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the reporting requirement
in this AD. The average labor rate is $85
per hour. Based on these figures, the
FAA estimates the cost of reporting the
inspection results on U.S. operators to
be $85.
The FAA estimates the following
costs to do any necessary on-condition
actions that would be required based on
the results of any required actions. The
FAA has no way of determining the
number of aircraft that might need these
on-condition actions:
ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Cost per
product
3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ......................................................................................................................

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.
The FAA is 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
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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.
This AD is issued in accordance with
authority delegated by the Executive
Director, Aircraft Certification Service,
as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C.
In accordance with that order, issuance
of ADs is normally a function of the
Compliance and Airworthiness
Division, but during this transition
period, the Executive Director has
delegated the authority to issue ADs
applicable to transport category
airplanes and associated appliances to
the Director of the System Oversight
Division.

Regulatory Findings
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) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, and
(3) 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a
report that indicated that bleed and air conditioning systems were
contaminated by hydraulic fluid, and by an investigation that revealed
that hydraulic fluid contaminations caused the failure of check valves
installed on the hydraulic reservoir air pressurization system. This AD
requires repetitive functional tests of the hydraulic reservoir air
pressurization lines, and repair or replacement if necessary, as
specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which
is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective February 28, 2020.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of February 28,
2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0190, dated July 31, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0190'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model
A300 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
October 28,
[[Page 4202]]
2019 (84 FR 57663). The NPRM was prompted by a report that indicated
that bleed and air conditioning systems were contaminated by hydraulic
fluid, and by an investigation that revealed that hydraulic fluid
contaminations caused the failure of check valves installed on the
hydraulic reservoir air pressurization system. The NPRM proposed to
require repetitive functional tests of the hydraulic reservoir air
pressurization lines, and repair or replacement if necessary.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address bleed and air conditioning
systems contaminated by hydraulic fluid, which, if not detected and
corrected, could lead to leakage of pressurization check valves, and,
in case of pressurization line rupture, to loss of a hydraulic system,
possibly resulting in reduced control of the airplane. See the MCAI for
additional background information.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. We have considered the comment received.
The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) stated that it
supports NPRM.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for minor
editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2019-0190 describes procedures for repetitive functional
tests of the hydraulic reservoir air pressurization lines, and repair
or replacement if necessary. This material 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
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1 airplane of U.S. registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs for Required Actions *
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per Cost on U.S.
Labor cost Parts cost product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 work-hours x $85 per hour = $170........................... $0 $170 $170
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting.
The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the reporting requirement in this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the
cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S. operators to be $85.
The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:
Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per
Labor cost Parts cost product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 work-hours x $85 per hour = $255.... $10,000 $10,255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation
Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.
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.
The FAA is 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.
This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.
[[Page 4203]]
Regulatory Findings
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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) 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.
