Department of Transportation February 15, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-19- 18, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A300 B4-603, B4-620, and B4-622 airplanes; Model A300 B4-600R series airplanes; Model A300 C4- 605R Variant F airplanes; and Model A300 F4-605R airplanes. AD 2018-19- 18 requires, depending on airplane configuration, a modification of certain angle fitting attachment holes; repetitive inspections for cracking of certain holes of the internal lower angle fitting web, certain holes of the internal lower angle fitting horizontal splicing, the aft bottom panel, and a certain junction area; and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. Since we issued AD 2018-19-18, we have determined that additional airplanes are affected by the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would retain the actions required by AD 2018-19-18, expand the applicability, and, for certain airplanes, would require repetitive inspections for cracking of certain holes of the center wing box (CWB) lower angle fittings and the CWB lower panel, and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from the Mobile Airport Authority to waive the requirement for one (1) parcel of surplus property totaling 0.88 acres, located on Mobile Downtown Airport, be used for aeronautical purposes.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Transportation proposes to update and reissue a current Department of Transportation system of records titled, ``Department of TransportationDOT/ALL 017 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act Case Files System of Records.'' The Department also intends to consolidate the following legacy system, ``DOT/MARAD 003 Freedom of Information and Privacy Request Records'' as part of the same and rescind DOT/MARAD 003. This system of records will allow the Department of Transportation, to include its Operating Administrations, the Office of the Inspector General, and Secretarial Offices, to collect and retain records and related correspondence on individuals who have filed requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act of 1974, including requests for review of final denials of such requests. As a result of a biennial review of this system, records have been updated within the following sections; Security Classification to include classified and sensitive records, Categories of Individuals to include individuals making requests on behalf of the subject individual and individuals whose requests have been referred to the Department for processing by other agencies as well as individuals involved in processing and responding to requests and/or appeals, Categories of Records to provide greater clarity of the type of records and information included in the system, Purposes to include responding to litigation associated with requests, and other activities required to assist the Department in executing its responsibilities, Routine Uses to include three new routine uses to support processing of FOIA and Privacy Act requests, appeals and amendments, and to facilitate understanding of DOT processes, Retrievability to expand the set of identifiers that may be used to retrieve cases, System Manager to provide information on where to find operating administration specific contacts, and Exemptions Claimed to clarify that records requested from other systems are not part of this system of records. Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the language, formatting, and text of the previously published notice to align with the requirements of Office of Memorandum and Budget Memoranda A-108. This updated system, titled Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Case Files, will be included in the Department of Transportation's inventory of record systems.

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200, -200F, and -300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a revision of the airworthiness limitations section (ALS), which provides new and more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and systems. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that showed a non- compliance exists on some in-service galley attendant seat fitting installations. The non-compliance could result in flight attendant seats failing in a high-G crash. This AD requires modifications for galley mounted seat fittings. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
