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
2018-0288, dated December 21, 2018 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320
and A321 series airplanes. Model A320-215 airplanes are not certified
by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type certificate data
sheet; this AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the
applicability. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2019-0321.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model
A318 series airplanes; A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132,
and -133 airplanes; A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, -233, -
251N, -252N and -271N airplanes; and A321 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2019 (84 FR 20303). The
NPRM was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary. The NPRM proposed to require
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking, accidental damage,
or corrosion in principal structural elements, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane. See the MCAI for
additional background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment. Delta
Airlines (DAL) stated that it supports the NPRM.

Request for a Reporting Requirement

    DAL requested that we add a reporting requirement to the proposed
AD. DAL recommended that the proposed AD state that all crack findings,
along with corrective actions performed, be reported to Airbus via the
Airbus Tech Request system within 30 days. DAL commented that the
philosophy of the fatigue-related inspections is that they are in
places where cracking might be found in the future, and if cracking is
found, then the task in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2--Damage Tolerant Airworthiness
Limitation Items (DT-ALI), Revision 07, dated June 13, 2018, will be
removed and become its own service information and AD; therefore,
mandatory reporting must be part of this process. DAL also stated that
they could not locate information regarding where to submit reports and
the timeframe for reporting.
    The FAA would like to clarify the intent of the referenced damage-
tolerant task in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations
Section (ALS) Part 2--Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items
(DT-ALI), Revision 07, dated June 13, 2018. Unlike airplanes that
follow a Supplemental Structural Inspection Program that requires
reporting (those with an older certification basis that does not
include damage tolerance criteria), the airplanes specified in
paragraph (c) of this AD comply with 14 CFR 25.571 damage tolerance
criteria. Section 25.571 requires applicants to evaluate all structures
that could contribute to catastrophic failure of the airplane with
respect to its susceptibility to fatigue cracking, corrosion, and
accidental damage. Applicants must establish inspections or other
procedures (also referred to as maintenance actions) as necessary to
avoid catastrophic failure during the operational life of the airplane
based on the results of these evaluations. It is intended that all
maintenance actions required to address fatigue cracking, corrosion,
and accidental damage are identified in the structural-maintenance
program. All inspections and other procedures (e.g., modification
times, replacement times) that are necessary to prevent a catastrophic
failure due to fatigue are included in the Airworthiness Limitations
Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA), as
required by 14 CFR 25.1529. Therefore, reporting is not needed to
comply with this AD.
    FAA Advisory Circular 25.571-1D provides guidance for compliance
with the provisions of 14 CFR 25.571, pertaining to the requirements
for damage-tolerance and fatigue evaluation of transport category
aircraft structure, and may be referenced for further information.
    While airplane manufacturers may benefit from receiving information
from the outcome of the ALI inspections, the EASA did not make
reporting a requirement in EASA AD 2018-0288. The FAA concurs with the
EASA, and therefore, this AD does not include a reporting requirement.
However, operators may report the findings, as an option, to Airbus as
specified in paragraph 6., ``Reporting,'' of Section 1 of Airbus A318/
A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2--Damage
Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items (DT-ALI), Revision 07, dated
June 13, 2018, that indicates reports should be sent to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This AD has not been changed in this
regard.

Request To Add an Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC)

    Airbus requested that AIR-676-19-235, dated June 3, 2019, which is
an AMOC for paragraphs (g) and (l)(2)(i) of AD 2018-25-02, Amendment
39-19513 (83 FR 62690, December 6, 2018), be allowed as an AMOC for the
requirements of paragraph (j) of the proposed AD.
    The FAA agrees with the commenter's request. The agency finds that
the provisions of AMOC AIR-676-19-235, which is limited to certain
airplanes, are acceptable for all corresponding provisions of this AD.
Therefore, the FAA has added paragraph (j)(1)(iii) to this AD to allow
AIR-676-19-235, dated June 3, 2019, as an acceptable method of
compliance for the corresponding provisions of this AD.

Changes Made to This Final Rule

    The FAA has determined that Airbus SAS Model A320-252N airplanes
were inadvertently omitted from the Applicability of the proposed AD.
Therefore, the FAA has updated paragraph (c)(3) of this AD to add those
airplanes. Since there are currently no domestic operators of this
product, additional notice and opportunity for public comment before
issuing this AD are unnecessary.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule with the change described previously
and 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.
    The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2--Damage Tolerant Airworthiness
Limitation Items (DT-ALI), Revision 07, dated June 13, 2018. This
service information describes damage tolerant airworthiness
limitations. This service information is reasonably available because
the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1,463 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. In the past, the FAA has estimated that this action takes
1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or
inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-
airplane estimate. Therefore, the FAA estimates the total cost per
operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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

    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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health invites interested individuals to submit
nominations for membership on WPAC.

Background

    The WPAC advises the Secretary of Labor (the Secretary) and the
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health (the
Assistant Secretary) on ways to improve the fairness, efficiency, and
transparency of OSHA's whistleblower investigations. WPAC is a
continuing advisory body and operates in compliance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and its implementing
regulations (see ``Authority and Signature'' section).

WPAC Membership

    WPAC is comprised of 12 members, whom the Secretary appoints to
staggered terms, not to exceed 2 years. OSHA is seeking to fill six
positions on WPAC that will become vacant on December 1, 2015. The
composition of WPAC and categories of new members to be appointed to
new two-year terms are as follows:
     Two management representatives who are or represent
employers or employer associations in industries covered by one or more
of the whistleblower laws;
     Two labor representatives who are or represent workers or
worker advocacy organizations in industries covered by one or more of
the whistleblower laws;
     One member who represents the State OSH Plan states; and
     One public representative from a college, university, non-
partisan think tank, or other entity who has extensive knowledge and
expertise on whistleblower statutes and issues.
    If a vacancy occurs before a term expires, the Secretary may
appoint a new member who represents the same interest as the
predecessor to serve for the remainder of the unexpired term. The
committee meets at least two times a year.

Nomination Requirements

    Any individual or organization may nominate one or more qualified
persons for membership. If an individual or organization nominates more
than one person, each person must be named. Submissions of nominations
must include the following information for each nominee:
    1. The nominee's name, contact information and current occupation
or position (required);
    2. The nominee's resume or curriculum vitae, including prior
membership on WPAC and other relevant organizations, associations and
committees (required);
    3. Category of membership (management, labor, state plan, or
academic/extensive whistleblower knowledge) the nominee is qualified to
represent (required);
    4. A summary of the nominee's background, experience and
qualifications that address the nominee's suitability to serve on WPAC
(required);
    5. Articles or other documents the nominee has authored that
indicate the nominee's knowledge, experience and expertise in
whistleblower protections (optional); and
    6. A statement that the nominee is aware of the nomination, is
willing to regularly attend and participate in WPAC meetings, and has
no apparent conflicts of interest that would preclude membership on
WPAC (required).
    Nominations that do not contain all required information will not
be considered.

Membership Selection

    WPAC members will be selected on the basis of their experience,
knowledge, and competence in the field of whistleblower protection. The
information received through this nomination process, in addition to
other relevant sources of information, will assist the Secretary in
appointing members to serve on WPAC. In selecting WPAC members, the
Secretary will consider individuals nominated in response to this
Federal Register notice, as well as other qualified individuals. The
Department encourages the nomination of individuals with diverse
viewpoints, perspectives and experiences to the WPAC, including
individuals with disabilities and individuals of all races, genders,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model A330-
223F and Model A330-243F airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on September 21, 2018 (83 FR 47850). The NPRM was prompted by
a report of cracking at fastener holes located at a certain frame on
the lower shell panel junction. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive
special detailed inspections (rototest) of certain fastener holes
located at the lower shell junction of a certain frame on both LH and
RH sides, and applicable related investigative and corrective actions.
    We are issuing this AD to address cracking at FR40 on the lower
shell panel junction; such cracking could lead to reduced structural
integrity of the fuselage.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2018-0146, dated July 12, 2018 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model
A330-223F and Model A330- 243F airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During embodiment of a frame (FR) 40 web repair on an A330
aeroplane, and during keel beam replacement on an A340 aeroplane,
cracks were found on both left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) sides
on internal strap, butt strap, keel beam fitting, or forward fitting
FR40 flange.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could affect the
structural integrity of the centre fuselage of the aeroplane.
    Prompted by these findings, Airbus issued SB [service bulletin]
A330-53-3215, providing inspection instructions, and EASA issued AD
2014-0136 and, subsequently, AD 2017-0063 [which corresponds to FAA
AD 2018-12-08, Amendment 39-19312 (83 FR 33821, July 18, 2018)] to
require repetitive special detailed inspection (SDI), (rototest), of
10 fastener holes located at the FR40 lower shell panel junction on
both LH and RH sides and, depending on findings, accomplishment of
applicable corrective action(s).
    After those ADs were issued, it has been determined that A330
Freighter aeroplanes are also affected by this potential unsafe
condition. Consequently, Airbus published SB A330-53-3215 Revision
03 to expand the Effectivity of that SB to these aeroplanes.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive SDI (rototest) of 10 fastener holes located at the FR40
lower shell panel junction on both LH and RH sides and, depending on
findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective action(s) [which
include oversizing, installing fasteners and repair; and
accomplishment of applicable related investigative actions, which
include a rototest inspection for cracking after oversizing].

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0800.

Comments

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

Conclusion

    We 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. We have 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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A330-53-3215, Revision 03, dated
January 22, 2018. This service information describes procedures for
repetitive rototest inspections of certain fastener holes, and related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This service
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 5 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Labor cost                Parts cost           Cost per product           Cost on  U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 42 work-hours x $85 per hour              $0  Up to $3,570.................  Up to $17,850.
 = $3,570.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary on-condition
actions that would be required based on the results of any required
actions. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that
might need these on-condition actions:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Cost per
                   Labor cost                     Parts cost    product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
46 work-hours x $85 per hour = $3,910...........     $3,690      $7,600
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    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.
