SUPPORTING STATEMENT INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUEST FOR THE NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS ( NESHAP) FOR THE PLATING AND POLISHING AREA SOURCE CATEGORY PART A 1.0 Identification of the Information Collection ( a) Title and Number of the Information Collection.

" Information Collection Request for the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants ( NESHAP) for the Plating and Polishing Area Source Category." This is a new information collection request ( ICR); the EPA ICR number is 2186.01.

( b) Short Characterization/ Abstract.

The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) plans to collect information and data from 1,208 existing plating and polishing facilities. These establishments are primarily engaged in electroplating, electroless plating, metal and thermal spraying, anodizing, coloring, and finishing of metals and formed products for the trade. Plants will be requested to complete a simple paper questionnaire on general facility information ( location, description, types of processes performed,

operating hours, technical contact), HAP emissions and permit data, permit conditions, emission tests data, process design and operating data, HAP containing material data, finished product types, local ventilation system information, HAP emission control measures, and pollution prevention practices. The questionnaire may be completed from existing information; no additional monitoring or testing is required. The information collected will be quality assured and entered into a computerized database for use in the development of area source standards for emissions of HAP. 2 2. Need for and Use of the Collection ( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection.

Section 112( d) of the Clean Air Act ( CAA) requires EPA to promulgate national emission standards for HAP emissions from new and existing major and area sources that are listed for regulation under section 112( c). Area sources are small emitters ( less than 10 tons/ yr of any individual HAP and less than 25 tons/ yr from a combination of HAP), but contribute about half of the nationwide HAP emissions from stationary sources. The purpose of the Area Source Program, described in section 112( k) of the CAA, is to reduce HAP emissions to a level that achieves a substantial reduction in risk to the public health. The area source standards may be based on the maximum achievable control technology ( MACT) under section 112( d)( 2) or on generally available control technology ( GACT) or management practices under section 112( d)( 5)

of the CAA.

Plating and polishing is one of the 70 area source categories listed for regulation under EPA's Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy ( 67 FR 43112, June 26, 2002). Current information and data are needed to support the development of area source standards for this source category.

This information collection is authorized under section 114 of the CAA.

( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data.

The proposed ICR focuses on the basic information and data needed for developing technology based standards or requirements, such as the types of electroplating and other plating and polishing operations performed, annual operating hours and production rates, types of equipment used, and air pollution control systems ( or management practices). The proposed ICR also requests basic information needed to perform economic impact analyses. The database that 3 will be developed from the completed questionnaires will be used by the Emission Standards Division ( ESD) in EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards to identify HAP emission sources ( including any subcategories) and applicable control technologies or methods; to determine the appropriate scope and level of control; and to estimate HAP emissions, as well as environmental, cost, and economic impacts.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria ( a) Nonduplication.

A search of EPA's ongoing ICRs revealed no duplication of information gathering efforts,

and the information requested is not available through other sources.

( b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB.

The EPA published a pre ICR Federal Register notice on July 29, 2005 ( 70 FR 43865),

which announced our intent to submit this ICR to OMB and requested public comments. EPA received no comments.

( c) Consultations.

The questionnaire was developed in consultation with individual facilities and an industry trade association. The draft questionnaire was field tested by nine facilities representing a crosssection of the industry to obtain labor hour estimates and suggestions for improvements. Seven of the nine facilities provided labor hour estimates with their responses. Comments also were invited on a voluntary basis from an industry trade association. In general, the trade association and plants found the questionnaire to be clearly presented and easy to complete. As a result of these consultations, ESD made minor revisions to the survey instrument to clarify questions and simplify responses. Table 1 identifies the non EPA persons consulted during development of the 4 proposed ICR.

( g) Sensitive Questions.

This section is not applicable because this ICR does not involve matters of a sensitive nature.

4. The Respondents And The Information Requested ( a) Respondents/ SIC and NAICS Codes.

Potential respondents are owners and operators of establishments primarily engaged in all types of electroplating, electroless plating, metal and thermal spraying, anodizing, coloring, and finishing of metals and formed products for the trade. The primary standard industrial classification ( SIC) code for the respondents is 3471, Electroplating, Plating, Polishing,

Anodizing, and Coloring; the North American Industry Classification System ( NAICS) code is 332813, Electroplating, Plating, Polishing, Anodizing, and Coloring.

( b) Information Requested.

( i) Data Items, Including Recordkeeping Requirements. A copy of the questionnaire is provided as an attachment. There are no recordkeeping requirements associated with this request.

° Background and Instructions provides the statutory basis for the information collection, describes how the data will be used, gives other guidance to the respondent, and highlights that no additional monitoring or testing is required to respond to the questionnaire.

The instructions also list an EPA contact for questions ( or for requests to submit the information collected in a different format such as computer microdisk) and provide the return name and address for completed surveys. 6 ° Part I ( General Information) requests the company name, address, contact person,

and geographical location ( UTM coordinates, if available) and basic economic characteristics ( annual sales, Dunn & Bradstreet facility identification number, applicable NAICS or SIC code,

number of employees, and parent company). Information is also requested on the types of plating and polishing operations performed, annual operating hours, any Federal emission standards to which the plant is subject, and source classification ( major, area, minor) with respect to HAP emissions.

° Part II ( HAP Emission Points and Permit Data) directs the respondent to fill out tables to indicate estimated annual emissions of HAP, requests a copy of the facility's operating permit, and requests copies of emission test reports.

° Part III ( Plating and Polishing Process Information) directs the respondent to fill out tables for information on electroplating tank size and operation, and information on electroless plating, anodizing, thermal spraying, other finishing operations, and types of finished products.

° Part IV ( HAP Containing Plating and Polishing Material Data) requests information on materials that contain HAP and are used for plating and polishing operations ° Part V ( Ventilation System and Emission Control System Information) requests information on plating and polishing tank ventilation system design and operation. This section also requests information on emission control devices and other methods used ( e. g., wetting agents and surfactants) to control or reduce HAP emissions ° Part VI ( Pollution Prevention) requests the respondent to provide information on pollution prevention practices.

( ii) Respondent Activities. Respondent activities include reading the instructions; 7 searching data sources to collect available data from files; completing the written survey; and transmitting the survey to EPA. The request does not require respondents to make measurements of emissions or otherwise create information, and it relies on information that should be readily available from existing records and reports. There is no need for respondents to develop or acquire technology or systems to collect, process, or disclose the information; to adjust existing ways to comply with previous instructions; or to train personnel.

5. The Information Collected   Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management ( a) Agency Activities.

Agency activities associated with this information collection include preparing and transmitting the questionnaire, answering respondent questions about the questionnaire, reviewing and assuring the quality of data submissions, addressing any requests for confidentiality, and entering the data into a computerized database.

( b) Collection Methodology and Information Management.

The EPA has identified a total of 1,208 plants as plating and polishing area sources. The ESD will mail each facility a paper copy of the survey. An electronic version of the ICR form is also available in the public docket through the EPA's Electronic Docket ( EDOCKET) at:

http:// www. epa. gov/ edocket. Respondents can use EDOCKET to download a word processing electronic copy of the form by selecting " search" and keying in the Docket ID number:

OAR 2005 0084. A facility may return the completed survey in paper or electronic format except when the survey contains CBI, in which case it cannot be emailed or sent by fax. The survey responses will be reviewed for completeness and quality assured prior to being entered in a 8 computerized database. Followup calls will be made to maximize the response rate and clarify any questions on the responses. Any CBI will be maintained in a secure location as required by EPA CBI procedures. The CBI will not be entered into the database unless a substantial number of responses contain CBI. In that case, the data will be entered into the database, and the database will be treated as CBI in its entirety. Public access to non CBI information will be provided through the rulemaking docket.

( c) Small Entity Flexibility.

The Small Business Administration defines a small entity in this industry as a company with fewer than 500 employees at all facilities. The information collected from small entities is needed to perform analyses required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act and the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. Information on emissions and the level of control performance is needed from all plants ( large and small) to determine the appropriate regulatory approach and level of control. Information on small facilities will also provide insight into pollution prevention measures that may be applicable.

Most of the plants in this area source category are likely to meet the definition of small entity, and this survey has been designed to ensure that the burden of responding is not high. The information requested should be readily available, and the questionnaire highlights that facilities are not required to perform additional monitoring or testing or create information.

( d) Collection Schedule.

The proposed mailing date for the questionnaire is within 4 weeks of ICR approval by OMB. Respondents generally are required to respond within 8 weeks of receiving the survey.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection 9 ( a) Estimating Respondent Burden.

The annual burden estimates for collecting and reporting information were derived from labor hour estimates provided by seven of the nine plants that field tested the draft questionnaire.

The labor estimates ranged from 3.5 hours for a small plant to 104 hours for a very large facility.

Some responses were completed by plant personnel, and other responses were completed by consultants. When the responses were completed by plant personnel, the average burden was estimated to be 10 hours; when the responses were completed by consultants, the average burden was estimated to be 36 hours. One of the respondents, a military installation that operates dozens of plating tanks, estimated the burden to be 104 hours. These three average burden estimates ( 10 hours, 36 hours, and 104 hours) were used to estimate the overall burden for this information collection. It was assumed that a total of 10 military installations or comparably sized facilities would respond to the ICR, and that, of the remaining facilities, 95 percent of the responses would be completed by plant personnel, and 5 percent of the responses would be completed by consultants. This results in an overall average burden of 12.1 hours per facility.

( b) Estimating Respondent Costs.

( i) Estimating Labor Costs. Technical, management, and clerical average hourly rates are from recent Employment Cost Trends ( http:// stats. bls. gov/ news. release/ ecec. t11. htm) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS). Wages for civilian workers ( white collar occupations)

are used as the basis of the labor rates with a total compensation of $ 40.47 for technical ( i. e.,

engineer), $ 48.19 for managerial, and $ 21.37 for clerical. These rates represent salaries plus fringe benefits but do not include the cost of overhead. The base labor rates were adjusted by an overhead and profit rate of 167 percent. Using this adjustment, the fully burdened wage rates 10 used to represent respondent labor costs are: technical at $ 67.58, management at $ 80.48, and clerical at $ 35.69.

( ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs; Capital/ Startup v. O& M Costs; and Annualizing Capital Costs. There are no capital or O& M costs.

( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.

The Agency burden estimates are based on labor hours for preparing and transmitting the questionnaire; answering respondent questions about the questionnaire; reviewing data submissions ( including followup calls if needed to clarify responses); addressing requests for confidentiality; and entering data in the computerized database ( including quality assurance procedures). These burden items are based on Agency experience with previous industry surveys conducted to meet standards development needs.

The Agency labor rates are based on Office of Personnel Management ( OPM) 2004 General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay. These rates can be obtained from Salary Table 2005 GS available on the OPM website at http:// www. opm. gov/ oca/ 05tables/ pdf/ gs_ h. pdf.

The government employee labor rates are $ 30.90 for technical ( GS 13, Step 1), $ 42.94 for managerial ( GS 15, Step 1), and $ 14.65 for clerical ( GS 7, Step 1). These rates represent salaries plus fringe benefits but do not include the cost of overhead. The base labor rates were adjusted by an overhead rate of 167 percent. Using this adjustment, the fully burdened wage rates used to represent Agency labor costs are: technical at $ 51.60, management at $ 71.71, and clerical at $ 24.47.

( d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs.

The EPA has identified a total of 1,280 potential respondents from existing Agency 11 databases and reference sources. Burden hours and costs are annualized over the 3 year clearance period for the ICR. Therefore, the average annual number of respondents is 403.

( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables.

( i) Respondent Tally. Respondent burden hours are shown in Table 2. The average annual burden is estimated at 5,608 person hours per year with an average annual cost of $ 366,566. No annual capital or O& M costs are applicable.

( ii) The Agency tally. The average annual Agency burden is given in Table 3. The average annual burden is estimated at 1,537 person hours with an average annual cost of $ 77,004.

( iii) Variations in the annual bottom line. This section is not applicable because no significant variation is anticipated.

( f) Reasons for Change in Burden.

This section does not apply since this is a new collection.

( g) Burden Statement.

The average annual respondent burden per facility is estimated at 12.1 hours at a cost of $ 925. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to 12 respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

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 OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR part 63 are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggestions for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. OAR 2005 0084, which is available for public viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center in the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room B 102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC.

e Travel, litigation, and enforcement activities are not applicable. OMB Control No. 20XX XXXX Approval expires XX/ XX/ XX BACKGROUND AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLATING AND POLISHING INFORMATION REQUEST Background and Instructions Section 112 of the Clean Air Act outlines the statutory requirements for the EPA's stationary source air toxics program. Section 112( k) requires the development of standards for area sources which account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 33 urban hazardous air pollutants ( HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. The Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy lists plating and polishing as an area source category. The plating and polishing source category is defined to include establishments primarily engaged in all types of electroplating, plating, polishing ( using physical, chemical, or electrochemical processes), thermal or metal spraying, anodizing, coloring, and finishing of metals and formed products for the trade. Please note that chromium emissions from chromium electroplating and anodizing tanks are regulated under 40 CFR 63, subpart N and will not be addressed under the plating and polishing source category. We are requesting in question I. G that you identify electroplating finishes, including chromium, applied in your facility and we are requesting facility chromium emissions in Table 1 but we are not requesting any further information on chromium electroplating operations. Also note that the electroplating, electroless plating, polishing, anodizing, thermal or metal spraying, coloring, and finishing processes covered by this questionnaire will be referred to generically as plating and polishing.

The EPA will use the information collected from a full industry mail out of this questionnaire to evaluate the need for area source National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants ( NESHAP) for the plating and polishing area source category. If an area source NESHAP is developed, the collected information will be used to evaluate the types of provisions needed to limit HAP emissions from plating and polishing operations and to estimate the impacts of regulatory options.

Please answer all questions unless not applicable to your facility or operations, in which case note that the question is not applicable. All information should be for the reporting year. Readily available information should be used; no additional emission testing or monitoring is required to respond to this questionnaire.

An electronic version of the Information Request form is available in the public docket through the EPA's Electronic Docket ( EDOCKET) at http:// www. epa. gov/ docket. Use EDOCKET to download a word processing electronic copy of the form. Once in the EPA docket system, select " search," then key in the Docket ID number: OAR 2005 0084. 17 Please note that you are to provide a separate response package for each facility in your company with plating and polishing operations.

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 would amend the Class E surface area and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Galesburg Municipal
Airport, Galesburg, IL, to support instrument flight rule operations at
this airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2021-0554/
Airspace Docket No. 21-AGL-26.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend 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 Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR 71 by:
    Amending the Class E surface area at Galesburg Municipal Airport,
Galesburg, IL, by removing the Galesburg VOR/DME and associated
extensions from the airspace legal description; and updating the
outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart Supplement'';
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.5-mile (decreased from a 7-mile) radius
of Galesburg Municipal Airport.
    This action is due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Galesburg VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures this airport, as part of the
VOR MON Program.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005, respectively, 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.
    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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-223, -321, -322, and
-323 Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. 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:

    During accomplishment of Damage Tolerant--Airworthiness
Limitation Item task 712106-01-01 from A330 ALS Part 2, an A330
operator found a Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) indication
in the head of the shank filet radius in one of the Pratt & Whitney
(PW) forward (FWD) engine mount pylon bolts.
* * * * *
    Dual-bolt fractures could lead to inability for mount assembly
to sustain loads which may lead to an engine mount failure and
consequently to engine separation from the aeroplane during flight,
which would constitute an unsafe condition.
* * * * *
    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 22, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 22,
2010.

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 April 2, 2010 (75 FR
16696). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    During accomplishment of Damage Tolerant--Airworthiness
Limitation Item task 712106-01-01 from A330 ALS Part 2, an A330
operator found a Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) indication
in the head of the shank filet radius in one of the Pratt & Whitney
(PW) forward (FWD) engine mount pylon bolts.
    Investigation has confirmed that this FPI indication was due to
a quality manufacturing process issue which led to a bolt non-
conformance and is also applicable to aftward (AFT) mount pylon
bolts.
    Dual-bolt fractures could lead to inability for mount assembly
to sustain loads which may lead to an engine mount failure and
consequently to engine separation from the aeroplane during flight,
which would constitute an unsafe condition.
    This AD requires a one time detailed visual inspection of the
FWD and AFT mount pylon bolts on all A330 aeroplanes fitted with PW
engines (8 bolts per engine) and replacement of any affected bolt.

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 considered the comments received.

Requests To Refer to the Latest Pratt & Whitney Service Information

    Delta Airlines and Pratt & Whitney--Cheshire Engine Center request
that we revise the NPRM to refer to Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin
PW4G-100-71-35, Revision 1, dated December 4, 2009, for determining
suspect bolts, rather than Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin PW4G-100-
71-35, dated March 14, 2008, which was referenced in the NPRM as the
appropriate source for determining suspect bolts. The

commenters state that Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin PW4G-100-71-35,
Revision 1, dated December 4, 2009, corrected suspect bolt serial
numbers, and the serial number range of suspect bolts was reduced.
    We agree with the requests. Since fewer parts are listed and no
parts are added in Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin PW4G-100-71-35,
Revision 1, dated December 4, 2009, we have revised paragraph (h) of
this AD to refer to Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin PW4G-100-71-35,
Revision 1, dated December 4, 2009, as the appropriate source for
determining suspect bolts. We have also revised paragraph (h) of this
AD to provide credit to operators that used Pratt & Whitney Service
Bulletin PW4G-100-71-35, dated March 14, 2008, to determine suspect
bolts before the effective date of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This 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 our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a Note within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 41 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 7 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 $16,672 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 $707,947, or $17,267 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 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.

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, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 71:
Powerplant.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    During accomplishment of Damage Tolerant--Airworthiness
Limitation Item task 712106-01-01 from A330 ALS Part 2, an A330
operator found a Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) indication
in the head of the shank filet radius in one of the Pratt & Whitney

    Investigation has confirmed that this FPI indication was due to
a quality manufacturing process issue which led to a bolt non-
conformance and is also applicable to aft ward (AFT) mount pylon
bolts.
    Dual-bolt fractures could lead to inability for mount assembly
to sustain loads which may lead to an engine mount failure and
consequently to engine separation from the aeroplane during flight,
which would constitute an unsafe condition.
    This AD requires a one time detailed visual inspection of the
FWD and AFT mount pylon bolts on all A330 aeroplanes fitted with PW
engines (8 bolts per engine) and replacement of any affected bolt.

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.

Actions

    (g) Do a detailed inspection to determine the part number,
serial number, and lot number of the forward and aft mount pylon
bolts on both engines, in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-71-3020,
dated June 10, 2009. Inspect at the later of the times specified in
paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD.
    (1) Before the accumulation of 8,000 total flight cycles or
24,000 total flight hours since first flight of the airplane,
whichever occurs first.
    (2) Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD.
    (h) If the identified part number, serial number, or lot number
corresponds to suspect bolts identified in Pratt & Whitney Service
Bulletin PW4G-100-71-35, Revision 1, dated December 4, 2009, before
further flight remove the affected bolt and replace with a
serviceable bolt, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions
of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-71-3020, dated June 10,
2009. Identifying part numbers, serial numbers or lot numbers before
the effective date of this AD according to Pratt & Whitney Service
Bulletin PW4G-100-71-35, dated March 14, 2008, is considered
acceptable for compliance with the corresponding action specified in
this AD.
    (i) If the bolt part number, serial number, or lot number is
unreadable, before further flight, remove the affected bolt and
replace with a serviceable bolt, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin
A330-71-3020, dated June 10, 2009.
    (j) As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install
any forward or aft mount pylon bolt on any airplane, unless this
bolt has been identified as a non-suspect bolt, in accordance with
the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin
A330-71-3020, dated June 10, 2009.
    (k) Although Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-71-3020,
dated June 10, 2009, specifies to submit certain information to the
manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: Although the MCAI or service information tells you to
submit information to the manufacturer, paragraph (k) of this AD
specifies that such submittal is not required.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (l) 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. Send information to ATTN:
