Airbus Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive
(AD)2015-16-02 for all Airbus Model A330 series airplanes. AD 2015-16-02 required revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate certain maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. This new AD requires revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by a revision of the airworthiness limitations items
(ALI)document, which provides new and more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and systems. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective April 17, 2017. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 17, 2017. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of September 15, 2015 (80 FR 48019, August 11, 2015).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM)to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2015-16-02, Amendment 39-18227 (80 FR 48019, August 11, 2015) (“AD 2015-16-02”). AD 2015-16-02 applied to all Airbus Model A330 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the **Federal Register** on September 12, 2016 (81 FR 62672). The NPRM was prompted by a revision of the ALI document, which provides new and more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and systems. The NPRM proposed to require revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to prevent reduced structural integrity and reduced control of these airplanes due to the failure of system components. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 2016-0011, dated January 13, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or “the MCAI”), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A330 and A340 series airplanes. The MCAI states: The airworthiness limitations are currently defined and published in the Airbus A330 and A340 Airworthiness Limitations Section
(ALS)documents. The airworthiness limitations applicable to the System Equipment Maintenance Requirements, which are approved by EASA, are specified in Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 4. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in an unsafe condition. EASA issued AD 2013-0268 (for A330 aeroplanes) [which corresponds to FAA AD 2015-16-02] and AD 2013-0269 (for A340 aeroplanes) [which corresponds to FAA AD 2014-23-17, Amendment 39-18033 (79 FR 71304, December 2, 2014) (“AD 2014-23-17”)] to require the actions as specified in Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 4 at Revision 04 and Revision 03, respectively. Since those [EASA] ADs were issued, Airbus issued Revision 05 and Revision 04, respectively, of Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 4, which introduce new and more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations. For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA AD 2013-0268 and AD 2013-0269, which are superseded, and require accomplishment of the actions specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 4 Revision 05, or A340 ALS Part 4 Revision 04, as applicable (hereafter collectively referred to as `the ALS' in this [EASA] AD). You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at *http://www.regulations.gov* by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-9069. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment. Request To Adopt ALS Variation American Airlines
(AAL)requested that Airbus A330 ALS Part 4—System Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR)—Variation 5.1, dated December 20, 2015 (“Variation 5.1”), also be adopted in the final rule. AAL noted that Variation 5.1 was approved as an alternative method of compliance
(AMOC)to AD 2015-16-02 via ANM-116-16-272, dated April 13, 2016. We agree that AMOCs approved previously for AD 2015-16-02 continue to be approved as AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of paragraph
(g)of this AD, as stated in paragraph (l)(1)(ii) of this AD. We also agree to include Variation 5.1 as a method of compliance for the requirements of paragraph
(j)of this AD for components specified in Variation 5.1. We have revised paragraph
(j)of this AD accordingly. Request To Re-Open the Comment Period Airbus requested that we re-open the comment period specified in the NPRM in order to introduce Revision 06 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 4—SEMR. Airbus pointed out that, since the MCAI was published, multiple new variations to Airbus A330 ALS Part 4 have been issued and have been or are being approved by EASA. Airbus stated that these variations will be included in Revision 06 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 4—SEMR, which is expected to be approved under Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval in mid-January 2017. Airbus asserted that a new EASA AD will be issued to supersede EASA AD 2016-0011 once Revision 06 is issued. We disagree. We have determined that more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and systems are necessary to prevent reduced structural integrity and reduced control of these airplanes, due to the failure of system components. Therefore, we do not consider that delaying this action by reopening the comment period until such time as the manufacturer's planned service information is released is warranted, since the necessary service information is currently available. However, under the provisions of paragraph (l)(1) of this AD, we will consider requests for approval to use Revision 06 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 4—SEMR once it is approved and available. We have not changed the AD in this regard. Conclusion We reviewed the available data, including the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this 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 issued A330 ALS Part 4—SEMR, Revision 05, dated October 19, 2015. This service information describes preventative maintenance requirements and associated airworthiness limitations applicable to aircraft systems susceptible to aging effects. Airbus also issued Airbus A330 ALS Part 4—System Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR)—Variation 5.1, dated December 20, 2015. This service information describes revising the maintenance or inspection program by increasing the life limits for certain components. 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 104 airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD: Estimated Costs Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators Maintenance or inspection program revision (retained actions from AD 2015-16-02) 1 work-hours × $85 per hour = $85 $0 $85 $8,840 Maintenance or inspection program revision (new action) 1 work-hours × $85 per hour = $85 0 85 8,840 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1.
