ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive
(AD)for certain Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-200 and A340-300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that revealed the wheel axles of the main landing gear
(MLG)were machined with a radius as small as 0.4 millimeters. This AD requires replacing the wheel axle of the MLG with a serviceable part. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue of the wheel axle of the MLG, which could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane. DATES: This AD becomes effective May 23, 2013. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 23, 2013. ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at *http://www.regulations.gov* or in person at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vladimir Ulyanov, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, Washington 98057-3356; telephone
(425)227-1138; fax
(425)227-1149. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM)to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. That NPRM was published in the **Federal Register** on August 27, 2012 (77 FR 51729). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information
(MCAI)states: EASA [European Aviation Safety Agency] has received a report via Airbus and Messier-Bugatti-Dowty Ltd, from a Maintenance repair organisation, concerning a specific repair, accomplished on certain MLG wheel axles. Investigations revealed that the axles have been machined with a radius as small as 0.4 mm. This condition, if not corrected, has a detrimental effect on the fatigue lives of these parts, possibly affecting the structural integrity of the aeroplane. Fatigue analyses were performed, the results of which indicated that the life limit of the affected MLG wheel axles must be reduced to below the one stated in the A330 and A340 Airbus Airworthiness Limitation Section
(ALS)Part 1. For the reasons described above, this [EASA) AD [2011-0170, dated September 7, 2011] requires the replacement of the MLG wheel axles before reaching the new reduced demonstrated life limit. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012), or on the determination of the cost to the public. Explanation of Changes Made Since NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012) Was Issued Since the NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012) was issued, we have reviewed Airbus Alert Operators Transmission
(AOT)A330-32A-3256, Revision 01, including Appendix 1, dated October 18, 2012 (for Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes); and Airbus AOT A340-32A-4292, Revision 01, including Appendix 1, dated October 18, 2012 (for Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes). This service information includes additional wheel axle serial numbers and corrects an incorrectly listed serial number. We have revised paragraphs (g), (h), and
(k)(paragraph
(j)of the NPRM) of this AD to refer to the new service information. We have coordinated this change with EASA. We have also added new paragraph (j), “Credit for Previous Actions,” to this AD to provide credit for actions performed before the effective date of this AD using Airbus All Operator Telex A330-32A3256, including Appendix 1, dated August 24, 2011; and Airbus All Operator Telex A340-32A4292, including Appendix 1, dated August 24, 2011. Conclusion We reviewed the available data, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously—and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these changes: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012) for correcting the unsafe condition; and • Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012). Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD will affect 59 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take 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 about $153,443 per product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $9,293,857, or $157,523 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. We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. Examining the AD Docket You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at *http://www.regulations.gov* ; or in person at the Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information. The street address for the Docket Operations office (telephone
(800)647-5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.
