40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2007-1043; FRL-8712-9]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Michigan; PSD Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to disapprove certain revisions to the State
of Michigan's prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) State
Implementation Plan (SIP), and in the alternative to approve the
revisions if the deficiencies in the rules involved are corrected, as
proposed by Michigan, and approved by EPA. These revisions are included
in Michigan Rule R 336.2816, and set out the mechanisms which
facilitate the participation of a potentially affected Federal Land
Manager (FLM) in the State's permitting process for purposes of
protecting either the increment or the Air Quality-Related Values
(AQRVs) associated with a Class I area from potential impacts from a
proposed major source or major modification. The Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) submitted these revisions as part of the
SIP package on December 21, 2006. In a separate action in today's
Federal Register, EPA is conditionally approving all other portions of
Michigan's PSD SIP revision submission.

II. What Is Being Addressed in This Document?

    MDEQ submitted Michigan Air Pollution Control Rules, Part 18, Rules
R 336.2801 to R 336.2819 and R 336.2823(1) to (14) (``Part 18'') to EPA
on December 21, 2006, for EPA approval and inclusion into the Michigan
SIP. Part 18 relates to Michigan's PSD permit program. Michigan adopted
revisions to Part 18 on December 4, 2006. Prior to approval of
Michigan's submitted PSD program, EPA delegated to Michigan

(via delegation letter dated September 26, 1988) the authority to issue
PSD permits through the Federal PSD rules at 40 CFR 52.21.
    On January 9, 2008, EPA proposed to conditionally approve
Michigan's PSD SIP rules under section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
(73 FR 1570, January 9, 2008). During the public comment period, EPA
received a number of comments on our proposal. A summary of the
comments and our answers are included in a separate action published in
today's Federal Register, in which EPA is conditionally approving the
remainder of the SIP submittal.
    Michigan Rule R 336.2816 is based on 40 CFR 51.166(p)(1)-(7), which
sets out the mechanisms which facilitate the participation of the FLM
in the State's permitting process for purposes of protecting either the
increment or the AQRVs associated with a Class I area from potential
impacts from a proposed major source or major modification.
    EPA has determined that Michigan Rule R 336.2816, as submitted, is
not consistent with 40 CFR 51.166(p). Specifically, Michigan Rule R
332.2816(2)(a) does not include the requirements of 40 CFR
51.166(p)(3), under which a plan must provide a mechanism whereby the
FLM may present to the state a demonstration of adverse impacts to
AQRVs from a proposed source or modification, notwithstanding that the
change in air quality resulting from this proposed source or
modification would not cause or contribute to an exceedence of the
maximum allowable increase for the Class I area. In such cases, where
the state concurs with the FLM's demonstration, the State does not
issue a permit. Additionally, EPA sought clarification from the State
as to how it planned to implement certain State rules corresponding to
the variance provisions contained in 40 CFR 51.166(p)(4), (5), and (6).
    On November 30, 2007, in a letter from Steven Chester, Director,
MDEQ, to the Regional Administrator, Michigan committed, among other
things, to making changes to Michigan Rule R 336.2816 consistent with
the requirements at 40 CFR 51.166(p). Based on this commitment, EPA
proposed to conditionally approve Michigan Rule R 336.2816.
    During the comment period, commenters raised concerns that, insofar
as Michigan Rule R 336.2816 does not fully implement the regulatory
mechanism by which an FLM may participate in the State's permitting
process, EPA should act to ensure that the SIP contains these
requirements until such time as the State promulgates consistent
regulations.
    Because Michigan currently implements the Federal PSD program under
EPA's delegation of 40 CFR 52.21, a conditional approval of Michigan
Rule R 336.2816 would have made the Michigan SIP less stringent than
the currently applicable, Federally delegated program. Therefore, EPA
is proposing to disapprove Michigan's submittal as it relates to
Michigan Rule R 336.2816. Michigan will retain its Federal delegation
of authority under 40 CFR 52.21(p) until such time as the State submits
promulgated rules equivalent to 40 CFR 51.166(p) and those rules are
approved into its SIP. Retention of the delegated program until such
time as Michigan promulgates and EPA approves a corrective rule will
ensure that the provisions of 40 CFR 51.166(p) will continue to apply,
thereby avoiding any regulatory gap, and ensuring full participation of
the FLM, as appropriate, in State permitting decisions.
    In the alternative, EPA is proposing to approve Michigan's revised
Michigan Rule R 336.2816 if the rule is revised to meet the
requirements set forth in Federal rule 40 CFR 51.166(p). In its letter
to EPA dated November 30, 2007, Michigan has committed to make this
revision to its rule.
    Michigan is not authorized to carry out its Federally approved air
program in ``Indian Country,'' as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Indian
Country includes: 1. All lands within the exterior boundaries of Indian
reservations within the State of Michigan; 2. Any land held in trust by
the U.S. for an Indian tribe; and 3. Any other land, whether on or off
an Indian reservation that qualifies as Indian Country. Therefore, EPA
retains the authority to implement and administer the CAA program in
Indian Country.

III. What Are the Changes That EPA Is Proposing To Disapprove and To
Approve?

    EPA is proposing to disapprove the following section of ``Part 18,
Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality'' of Michigan's
Air Pollution Control Rules: ``R 336.2816, Sources Impacting Federal
Class I Areas--additional requirements.'' In the alternative, EPA is
proposing to approve this same section of Michigan's Rule R 336.2816,
if the rule is revised to meet the requirements set forth in Federal
rule 40 CFR 51.166(p), as Michigan has committed to do in its letter to
EPA dated November 30, 2007.

IV. What Action Is EPA Taking?

    For reasons stated above, EPA is proposing to disapprove certain
revisions to Michigan's SIP, specifically Michigan Rule R 336.2816,
Sources Impacting Federal Class I Areas; additional requirements. EPA
is, in the alternative, proposing to approve Michigan Rule R 336.2816
when the rule is revised to meet the requirements set forth in Federal
rule 40 CFR 51.166(p), as Michigan has committed to do in its letter to
EPA dated November 30, 2007.

What Is the Effect of the Proposed Disapproval?

    Under section 110(k)(3) of the CAA, EPA may fully approve or
disapprove a State submittal. Where portions of the State submittal are
separable, EPA may approve portions of the submittal that meet the
requirements of the CAA, and disapprove the portions of the submittal
that do not meet the requirements of the CAA. (57 FR 13566, April 16,
1992.) Elsewhere in today's Federal Register, EPA is conditionally
approving the remaining elements of the State's December 21, 2006
submittal. Under today's proposed disapproval, Michigan will retain its
Federal delegation of authority under 40 CFR 52.21(p) to administer
Michigan Rule R 336.2816 until such time as the State submits
promulgated rules equivalent to 40 CFR 51.166(p) and these rules are
approved into its SIP.

What Is Our Basis for Proposed Disapproval of Michigan's Rules?

    The State's current Michigan Rule R 336.2816 is not consistent with
40 CFR 51.166(p), which sets out the mechanisms which facilitate the
participation of the FLM in the State's permitting process for purposes
of protecting either the increment or the AQRVs associated with a Class
I area from potential impacts from a proposed major source or major
modification.

What Is Our Basis for Proposed Approval of Michigan's Rules?

    The State has committed to revise current Michigan Rule R 336.2816,
which sets out the mechanisms which facilitate the participation of the
FLM in the State's permitting process for purposes of protecting either
the increment or the AQRVs associated with a Class I area from
potential impacts from a proposed major source or major modification,
by promulgating rules equivalent to 40 CFR 51.166(p). The State has
formalized this commitment in a letter to EPA dated November 30, 2007.
EPA has reviewed the State's proposed regulatory changes and has

made a preliminary determination that they are consistent with 40 CFR
51.166(p). Once properly promulgated by the State, EPA proposes to
approve them into the State's SIP. A copy of the proposed revised rules
can be seen at http://www.regulations.gov (add the docket number EPA-
R05-OAR-2007-1043 to Advanced Docket Search option). If Michigan
submits these revised rules to EPA for final approval, EPA plans to
finalize the approval without an additional comment period. Any party
interested in commenting on whether Michigan's proposed revision to
Michigan Rule R 336.2816 meets the requirements of 40 CFR 51.166(p)
should do so during the comment period on this action.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, September 30, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This proposed rule does not impose an information collection burden
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This proposed action merely proposes to approve state law as
meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements
beyond those imposed by State law. Accordingly, the Administrator
certifies that this proposed rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Because this rule proposes to approve pre-existing requirements
under State law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty
beyond that required by State law, it does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as
described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).

Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action also does not have Federalism implications because it
does not have substantial direct effects 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999). This action merely proposes to approve a State rule
implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the CAA.

Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments

    This proposed rule also does not have tribal implications because
it will not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian
tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Nevertheless, EPA
anticipates providing outreach to tribes located in Michigan and other
potentially affected areas regarding this proposed rulemaking.

Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks

    This proposed rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it proposes approval of
a state rule implementing a Federal standard.

Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use

    Because it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866 or a ``significant regulatory action,'' this
action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001).

National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), 15 U.S.C. 272, requires Federal agencies to use
technical standards that are developed or adopted by voluntary
consensus to carry out policy objectives, so long as such standards are
not inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. In
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Absent a prior
existing requirement for the state to use voluntary consensus
standards, EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for
failure to use such standards, and it would thus be inconsistent with
applicable law for EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in place of
a program submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the
CAA. Therefore, the requirements of section 12(d) of the NTTAA do not
apply.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This AD
results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes
the unsafe condition as:

    Some operators reported slow operation of the MLG [main landing
gear] door opening/closing sequence, leading to the generation of
ECAM [Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring] warnings during
the landing gear retraction or extension sequence.
* * * * *
    This condition, if not corrected, could prevent the full
extension and/or downlocking of the MLG, possibly resulting in MLG
collapse during landing or rollout and consequent damage to the
aeroplane and injury to occupants.
* * * * *
    After in-service introduction of the new MLG door actuator, P/N
114122012, several operators reported failures of internal parts of
the MLG door actuator. Investigations confirmed that these failures
could result in slow extension of the actuator rod, delaying the MLG
Door operation, or possibly stopping just before the end of the
stroke, preventing the door to reach the fully open position.
* * * * *
    This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 12, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of July 12,
2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication, listed in the AD as of April
27, 2007 (72 FR 13681, March 23, 2007).
    We must receive comments on this AD by August 11, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On March 13, 2007, we issued AD 2007-06-18, Amendment 39-14999 (72
FR 13681, March 23, 2007). That AD required actions intended to address
an unsafe condition on Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321
Airplanes.
    Since we issued AD 2007-06-18, it has been determined that certain
new actuators had failure of internal parts. The European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member
States of the European Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness
Directive 2011-0069, dated April 18, 2011 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    Some operators reported slow operation of the [main landing
gear] MLG door opening/closing sequence, leading to the generation
of ECAM [Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring] warnings during
the landing gear retraction or extension sequence.
    Investigations showed that the damping ring and associated
retaining ring of the MLG door actuator deteriorate. The resultant
debris increases the friction inside the actuator which can be
sufficiently high to restrict opening of the MLG door by gravity,
during operation of the landing gear alternate (free-fall) extension
system.
    This condition, if not corrected, could prevent the full
extension and/or downlocking of the MLG, possibly resulting in MLG
collapse during landing or rollout and consequent damage to the
aeroplane and injury to occupants.
    EASA AD 2006-0112R1 was issued to require repetitive inspections
of the opening sequence of the MLG door in order to identify the
defective actuators [and replacement of any defective actuator with
a new actuator], and to introduce as an optional terminating action
Airbus production Modification 38274 and associated Service Bulletin
(SB) A320-32-1338, which incorporate an improved retaining ring,
located on the piston rod's extension end, and a new piston rod with
machined shoulder to accommodate the thicker section of the modified
retaining ring.
    After in-service introduction of the new MLG door actuator, P/N
114122012, several operators reported failures of internal parts of
the MLG door actuator. Investigations confirmed that these failures
could result in slow extension of the actuator rod, delaying the MLG
Door operation, or possibly stopping just before the end of the
stroke, preventing the door to reach the fully open position.
    This new [EASA] AD, which supersedes EASA AD 2006-0112R1,
requires an amendment of the applicable Airplane Flight

Manual (AFM), repetitive checks of specific Centralized Fault
Display System (CFDS) messages [and an inspection of the opening
sequence of the MLG door actuator for discrepancies if certain
messages are found], * * * and, depending on findings, corrective
action(s) [i.e., replacing the affected MLG door actuator with a new
MLG door actuator].

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

    Airbus has issued All Operators Telex A320-32A1390, dated February
10, 2011. The actions described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between the AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because
failure of internal parts of actuators that could result in slow
extension and down-locking of MLG, resulting in MLG collapse during
landing or roll out, and consequent damage to the airplane. Therefore,
we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before
issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for making
this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2011-0573; Directorate
Identifier 2011-NM-082-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

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 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); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-14999 (72 FR
13681, March 23, 2007) and adding the following new AD:

2011-13-11 Airbus: Amendment 39-16734. Docket No. FAA-2011-0573;
Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-082-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective July 12,
2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2007-06-18, Amendment 39-14999.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Airbus Model A318-111, -112, -121,
and -122, airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -
132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -
232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212,
-213, -231, and -232 airplanes; certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32: Landing
Gear.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continued airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    Some operators reported slow operation of the MLG [main landing
gear] door opening/closing sequence, leading to the generation of
ECAM [Electronic Centralised Aircraft

Monitoring] warnings during the landing gear retraction or extension
sequence.
* * * * *
    This condition, if not corrected, could prevent the full
extension and/or downlocking of the MLG, possibly resulting in MLG
collapse during landing or rollout and consequent damage to the
aeroplane and injury to occupants.
* * * * *
    After in-service introduction of the new MLG door actuator, P/N
114122012, several operators reported failures of internal parts of
the MLG door actuator. Investigations confirmed that these failures
could result in slow extension of the actuator rod, delaying the MLG
Door operation, or possibly stopping just before the end of the
stroke, preventing the door to reach the fully open position.
* * * * *

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2007-06-18, With No Changes

Repetitive Inspections/Replacement

    (g) At the time specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this
AD, as applicable: Do a general visual inspection of the operation
of the MLG door opening sequence to determine if a defective
actuator is installed by doing all the applicable actions, including
replacing the door actuator, as applicable, specified in the
Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-32-1309,
Revision 01, dated June 19, 2006. Do all applicable replacements
before further flight. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals
not to exceed 900 flight cycles. Accomplishing the actions before
April 27, 2007 (the effective date of AD 2007-06-18) in accordance
with Airbus Service Bulletin A320-32-1309, dated March 7, 2006, is
acceptable for compliance with the corresponding requirements in
this paragraph. Doing the inspection required by paragraph (l) of
this AD terminates the requirements of this paragraph.
    (1) For airplanes on which a record of the total number of
flight cycles on the MLG door actuator is available: Before the
accumulation of 3,000 total flight cycles on the MLG door actuator,
or within 800 flight cycles after April 27, 2007, whichever is
later.
    (2) For airplanes on which a record of the total number of
flight cycles on the MLG door actuator is not available: Within 800
flight cycles after April 27, 2007.

    Note 1:  For the purposes of this AD, a general visual
inspection is: ``A visual examination of an interior or exterior
area, installation, or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure,
or irregularity. This level of inspection is made from within
touching distance unless otherwise specified. A mirror may be
necessary to enhance visual access to all exposed surfaces in the
inspection area. This level of inspection is made under normally
available lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting,
flashlight, or droplight and may require removal or opening of
access panels or doors. Stands, ladders, or platforms may be
required to gain proximity to the area being checked.''

No Reporting/Parts Return Required

    (h) Although the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service
Bulletin A320-32-1309, Revision 01, dated June 19, 2006, specify
submitting certain information to the manufacturer and sending
defective actuators back to the component manufacturer for
investigation, this AD does not include those requirements.

New Requirements of This AD

Revise the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)

    (i) Within 14 days after the effective date of this AD, revise
the Emergency Procedure Section of the airplane flight manual (AFM)
to incorporate the following information. This may be done by
inserting a copy of this AD into the AFM.
    `` If ECAM triggers the ``L/G GEAR NOT DOWNLOCKED''
warning, apply the following procedure:
    Recycle landing gear.
     If unsuccessful after 2 min:
    Extend landing gear by gravity. Refer to ABN-32 L/G GRAVITY
EXTENSION.''

    Note 2: When a statement identical to that in paragraph (i) of
this AD has been included in the Emergency Procedure Section of the
general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted
into the AFM, and the copy of this AD may be removed from the AFM.

Repetitive Checks

    (j) Within 14 days after the effective date of this AD or before
the accumulation of 800 total flight cycles, whichever occurs later,
check the post flight report (PFR) for centralized fault display
system (CFDS) messages triggered within the last 8 days, in
accordance with paragraph 4.2.1 of Airbus All Operators Telex (AOT)
A320-32A1390, dated February 10, 2011. Repeat the check thereafter
at intervals not to exceed 8 days or 5 flight cycles, whichever
occurs later. If done in accordance with a method approved by the
Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane
Directorate, FAA, the use of an alternative method to check the PFR
for CFDS messages (e.g., AIRMAN) is acceptable in lieu of this check
if the messages can be conclusively determined from that method.

On-Condition Inspection

    (k) If, during any check required by paragraph (j) of this AD, a
pair of specific CFDS messages specified in paragraph 4.2.1 of
Airbus AOT A320-32A1390, dated February 10, 2011, has been triggered
by both landing gear control and indication units (LGCIU) for the
same flight, before further flight, inspect the door opening
sequence of the affected doors of the MLG for discrepancies (i.e.,
if any condition specified in steps (a) through (d) of paragraph
4.2.2 of Airbus AOT A320-32A1390, dated February 10, 2011, is not
met), in accordance with paragraph 4.2.2 of Airbus AOT A320-32A1390,
dated February 10, 2011.

Repetitive Inspections

    (l) At the applicable time specified in paragraph (l)(1) or
(l)(2) of this AD: inspect the door opening sequence of the left
hand and right hand doors of the MLG for discrepancies (i.e., if any
condition specified in steps (a) through (d) of paragraph 4.2.2 of
Airbus AOT A320-32A1390, dated February 10, 2011, is not met), in
accordance with the instructions of paragraph 4.2.2 of Airbus AOT
A320-32A1390, dated February 10, 2011. Repeat the inspection
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 425 flight cycles. Doing this
inspection terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD.
    (1) For airplanes on which an inspection required by paragraph
(g) of this AD has been done as of the effective date of this AD:
Within 800 flight cycles after doing the most recent inspection
required by paragraph (g) of this AD, or within 100 flight cycles
after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.
    (2) For airplanes on which an inspection required by paragraph
(g) of this AD has not been done as of the effective date of this
AD: Within 800 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD.

Replacement

    (m) If any discrepancy (i.e., if any condition specified in
steps (a) through (d) of paragraph 4.2.2 of Airbus AOT A320-32A1390,
dated February 10, 2011, is not met) is found during any inspection
required by paragraph (k) or (l) of this AD, before further flight,
replace the affected MLG door actuator with a new MLG door actuator,
in accordance with the instructions of Airbus AOT A320-32A1390,
dated February 10, 2011.
    (n) Replacement of the MLG door actuator as required by
paragraph (m) of this AD is not a terminating action for the
repetitive actions required by paragraphs (j) and (l) of this AD.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 3: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows:
    (1) Paragraph (6) of European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD
2011-0069, dated April 18, 2011, specifies a compliance time of 800
flight cycles after the effective date for all airplanes for the
initial inspection of the door opening sequence. This AD specifies a
compliance time of 800 flight cycles after the effective date of
this AD for airplanes on which the existing inspections (required by
AD 2007-06-18) of the door opening sequence have not been done, and
a compliance time of within 800 flight cycles since the most recent
inspection or within 100 flight cycles after the effective date of
this AD, whichever occurs later, for airplanes on which the existing
inspections of the door opening sequence have been done.
    (2) EASA AD 2011-0069, dated April 18, 2011, specifies MLG door
actuators having part number (P/N) 114122006, P/N 114122007, P/N
114122009, P/N 114122010, P/N 114122011, or P/N 114122012, in its
applicability. This AD retains the existing applicability of AD
2007-06-18 of all airplanes because all airplanes have one of the
affected part numbers.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (o) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR
39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight

Information may be e-mailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal
inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the
local flight standards district office/certificate holding district
office. The AMOC approval letter must specifically reference this
AD. As of the effective date of this AD, AMOCs approved previously
in accordance with AD 2007-06-18, are not approved as AMOCs with
this AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

    Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy,
Washington, DC 20549-0213.

Extension:
Form N-3, SEC File No. 270-281, OMB Control No. 3235-0316.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-3 (17 CFR
239.17a and 274.11b) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77)
and under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a),
Registration Statement of Separate Accounts Organized as Management
Investment Companies.'' Form N-3 is the form used by separate accounts
offering variable annuity contracts which are organized as management
investment companies to register under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (``Investment Company Act'') and/or to register their securities
under the Securities Act of 1933 (``Securities Act''). Form N-3 is also
the form used to file a registration statement under the Securities Act
(and any amendments thereto) for variable annuity contracts funded by
separate accounts which would be required to be registered under the
Investment Company Act as management investment companies except for
the exclusion provided by Section 3(c)(11) of the Investment Company
Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-3(c)(11)). Section 5 of the Securities Act (15
U.S.C. 77e) requires the filing of a registration statement prior to
the offer of securities to the public and that the statement be
effective before any securities are sold, and Section 8 of the
Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-8) requires a separate account to
register as an investment company.
    Form N-3 also permits separate accounts offering variable annuity
contracts which are organized as investment companies to provide
investors with a prospectus and a statement of additional information
covering essential information about the separate account when it makes
an initial or additional offering of its securities. Section 5(b) of
the Securities Act requires that investors be provided with a
prospectus containing the information required in a registration
statement prior to the sale or at the time of confirmation or delivery
of the securities. The form also may be used by the Commission in its
regulatory review, inspection, and policy-making roles.
    Commission staff estimates that there are zero initial registration
statements and 7 post-effective amendments to initial registration
statements filed on Form N-3 annually and that the average number of
portfolios referenced in each post-effective amendment is 2. The
Commission further estimates that the hour burden for preparing and
filing a post-effective amendment on Form N-3 is 155.2 hours per
portfolio. The total annual hour burden for preparing and filing post-
effective amendments is 2172.8 hours (7 post-effective amendments x 2
portfolios x 155.2 hours per portfolio). The estimated annual hour
burden for preparing and filing initial registration statements is 0
hours. The total annual hour burden for Form N-3, therefore, is
estimated to be 2172.8 hours (2172.8 hours + 0 hours).
    The information collection requirements imposed by Form N-3 are
mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be kept
confidential. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not

required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an
email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
