SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2014-0161, dated July 10, 2014 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model A330-202, -203, -223, and -
243 airplanes; and Model A340-211, -212, -311, and -313 airplanes. The
MCAI states:

    A hard contact was found on an A330 aeroplane during production
between the Constant Speed Motor/Generator (CSM/G) feeder line route
6G/6E (Functional Item Number 1526VB) and the optional cabin
temperature control pipe on the upper shell between Frame (FR)37.4
and FR38 on stringer 5, right hand (RH) side.
    This condition, if not corrected, may lead to chafing and,
consequently, a short circuit when the emergency generation is
activated, resulting in the loss of emergency generation. The loss
of normal generation combined with the loss of emergency generation
jeopardizes the aeroplane safe flight.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus developed a
modification to provide adequate clearance between harness 1526VB
and the affected (optional) air-conditioning temperature control
pipe. A340-200/-300 aeroplanes equipped with this optional cabin
temperature control pipe are also affected by this issue. The
modification can be embodied in service through Airbus Service
Bulletin (SB) A330-92-3125, or SB A340-92-4097, as applicable.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
modification of the CSM/G mounting with installation of new stacking
and/or longer bracket, depending on aeroplane configuration.

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. 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 these same type designs.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Since there are currently no domestic operators of this product, we
find good cause that notice and opportunity for prior public comment
are unnecessary. In addition, for the reason(s) stated above, we find
that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less 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-2018-0030; Product
Identifier 2014-NM-161-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 based on 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.

Costs of Compliance

    Currently, there are no affected U.S.-registered airplanes. This AD
requires contacting the FAA to obtain instructions for addressing the
unsafe condition, and doing the actions specified in those
instructions. Based on the actions specified in the MCAI AD, we are
providing the following cost estimates for an affected airplane that is
placed on the U.S. Register in the future:

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.
    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 to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 92, Electrical
system installation.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a report of a hard contact that was
found between the constant speed motor/generator feeder line route
6G/6E and the optional cabin temperature control pipe on the upper
shell between certain frames. We are issuing this AD to prevent
chafing, which can lead to a short circuit when the emergency
generation is activated and a consequent loss of emergency
generation. The loss of normal generation combined with the loss of
emergency generation could adversely affect the airplane's continued
safe flight and landing.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Required Action(s)

    Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, request
instructions from the Manager, International Section, Transport
Standards Branch, FAA, to address the unsafe condition specified in
paragraph (e) of this AD; and accomplish the action(s) at the times
specified in, and in accordance with, those instructions. Guidance
can be found in Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information
(MCAI) European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2014-0161, dated
July 10, 2014.

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    The Manager, International Section, Transport Standards Branch,
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
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
