Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-07-
22, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-
600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes
(collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes); and Model A310
series airplanes. AD 2016-07-22 required modifying the electrical
routing installation at the right-hand (RH) and left-hand (LH) wings to
achieve a minimum distance between wiring bundles and surrounding
structures. This new AD retains the requirements of AD 2016-07-22 and,
for certain airplanes, adds a requirement to further modify the
electrical installations in both wings, as specified in a European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference.
This AD was prompted by reports of missing installation information for
certain airplanes. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective October 2, 2019.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of October 2,
2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0014, dated January 29, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0014'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Model A300-600 and A310 series airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2016-07-22, Amendment 39-18467 (81 FR
21236, April 11, 2016) (``AD 2016-07-22''). AD 2016-07-22 applied to
all Model A300-600 and A310 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on May 7, 2019 (84 FR 19888). The NPRM was prompted by
reports of insufficient clearance for the electrical wiring bundles in
the leading and trailing edges of the RH and LH wings. The NPRM
proposed to retain the requirements of AD 2016-07-22 and, for certain
airplanes, add a requirement to further modify the electrical
installations in both wings. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
insufficient clearance between wing structures and electrical wiring,
which could lead to chafing damage and arcing, possibly resulting in an
on-board fire. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data 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.

Explanation of Retained Requirements

    Although this AD does not explicitly restate the requirements of AD
2016-07-22, this AD would retain all of the requirements of AD 2016-07-
22. Those requirements are referenced in EASA AD 2019-0014, which, in
turn, is referenced in paragraph (g) of this AD.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0014 describes procedures for modifying the electrical
installations in both wings (RH and LH). 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, and it is publicly available through the EASA
website.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 123 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                          Estimated Costs for Required Actions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retained actions from AD 2016-07-22.  56 work-hours x $85 per  Up to $18,000..............  Up to $22,760.............  Up to $2,799,480.
                                       hour = $4,760.
New actions.........................  Up to 38 work-hours x    Up to $29,547..............  Up to $32,777.............  Up to $4,031,571.
                                       $85 per hour = Up to
                                       $3,230.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, the FAA has included all known costs
in the cost estimate.

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.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA has 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. 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.

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2021-0012]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Savannah River, Savannah, GA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to modify the operating schedule that
governs the Houlihan Bridge (US 17), across the Savannah River, mile
21.6, at Savannah, Georgia and the Seaboard System Railroad Bridge,
across the Savannah River, mile 27.4, near Hardeeville, South Carolina.
This proposed rule would increase the advance notification time for an
opening at the bridges. The proposed rule would also update the name
and geographic location of the bridges.

DATES: Comments and relate material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before April 12, 2021.

ADDRESSES:  You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2021-0012 using Federal e-Rulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov.
    See the ``Public Participation and Request for Comments'' portion
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below for instructions on
submitting comments.

OMB Office of Management and Budget
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking (advance, supplemental)
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

MHW Mean High Water

II. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis

    Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) requested the Coast
Guard consider changing the advance

notification requirement for an opening from three hours to 24 hours at
the Houlihan Bridge. The proposed change is due to a decrease in
requested openings and would allow bridge maintenance crews to be on-
site for openings to address any unforeseen issues. The Seaboard System
Railroad Bridge, located approximately six miles upstream, will be
changed to a 24 hour advance notice for an opening as it currently
operates the same as the Houlihan Bridge. The Seaboard System Railroad
Bridge owner, CSX Transportation, is in support of the proposed change.
Additionally, the name and geographic location of the bridges will be
updated.
    The Houlihan Bridge (US 17) Bridge across the Savannah River, mile
21.6, at Savannah, Georgia is a swing bridge with a vertical clearance
of seven feet at MHW in the closed to navigation position and a
horizontal clearance of 90 feet between the fender system. The
operating schedule for the bridge is set forth in 33 CFR 117.371(a).
    The Seaboard System Railroad Bridge across the Savannah River, mile
27.4, near Hardeeville, South Carolina is a single-leaf bascule bridge
with a vertical clearance of seven feet at MHW in the closed to
navigation position and a horizontal clearance of 90 feet between the
fender system. The operating schedule for the bridge is set forth in 33
CFR 117.371(b).

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The proposed change would allow the bridges to open with a 24 hour
advance notice to the bridge owner as designated in the regulation. The
proposed change will improve the response time maintenance crews if
unforeseen issues occur while operating the Houlihan Bridge and allow
the Seaboard System Railroad Bridge to operate the same schedule due to
the proximity of the bridges.
    This proposed change would still allow vessels that can transit
under the bridges, without an opening, to do so at any time while
taking into account the reasonable needs of other modes of
transportation.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on these statutes and Executive Orders and we discuss
First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the ability that
vessels can still transit the bridge given advanced notice. Vessels
that can transit under the bridge without an opening may do so at any
time.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
bridge may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section IV.A
above this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact
on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism), if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01, Rev.1, associated implementing
instructions, and Environmental Planning Policy COMDTINST 5090.1
(series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f). The
Coast Guard has determined

that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This proposed rule promulgates the operating regulations
or procedures for drawbridges. Normally such actions are categorically
excluded from further review, under paragraph L49, of Chapter 3, Table
3-1 of the U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementation
Procedures.
    Neither a Record of Environmental Consideration nor a Memorandum
for the Record are required for this rule. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends the Class E surface airspace and the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Bradford Regional
Airport, Bradford, PA, to support instrument flight rule operations at
this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 74302; November 20, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-1015
to amend the Class E airspace at Bradford Regional Airport, Bradford,
PA. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
    Amends the Class E surface area airspace to within a 4.1-mile
(decreased from a 4.3-mile) radius of Bradford Regional Airport,
Bradford, PA; removes the Bradford VORTAC and the associated extension
from the airspace legal description; adds an extension to 1 mile each
side of the 134[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 4.1-
mile radius of the airport to 4.2 miles southeast of the airport; and
replaces the outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart
Supplement'';
    And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.6-mile (increased from a 6.5-mile)
radius of Bradford Regional Airport; removes the Bradford VORTAC and
the associated extension from the airspace legal description; removes
the BRAFO LOM and the associated extension from the airspace legal
description; and removes the city associated with the airport to comply
with changes to FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Bradford VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
