Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012-20-07 for
certain Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD
2012-20-07 required revising the Airworthiness Limitations section
(ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to
incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems, and revising the
maintenance program to incorporate revised fuel maintenance and
inspection tasks. This new AD requires revising the maintenance or
inspection program to incorporate revised fuel airworthiness
limitations. This AD was prompted by Airbus issuing more restrictive
maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations. We are
issuing this AD to prevent the potential of ignition sources inside
fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could
result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective November 25, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 25,
2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of
November 21, 2012 (77 FR 63716, October 17, 2012).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2012-20-07, Amendment 39-17213 (77 FR 63716,
October 17, 2012) (``AD 2012-20-07''). AD 2012-20-07 applied to all
Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on April 14, 2016 (81 FR 22033). The
NPRM was prompted by Airbus issuing more restrictive maintenance
requirements and/or airworthiness limitations. The NPRM proposed to
continue to require revising the ALS of the ICA to incorporate new
limitations for fuel tank systems in accordance with the type design,
and revising the maintenance program to incorporate revised fuel
maintenance and inspection tasks. The NPRM also proposed to require
revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate revised
fuel airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to prevent the
potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination
with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and
consequent loss of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0260, dated December 5, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition. The MCAI states:

    Prompted by an accident * * *, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) published Special Federal Aviation Regulation
(SFAR) 88, and the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) published
interim Policy INT/POL/25/12. In response to these regulations,
Airbus conducted a design review to develop Fuel Airworthiness
Limitations (FAL) for Airbus A320 family aeroplanes.
    The FAL were specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 FAL
document ref. 95A.1931/05 at issue 04 for A318/A319/A320/A321
aeroplanes. This document was approved by the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) and is now referenced in Airbus A318/A319/A320/
A321 ALS Part 5 to comply with EASA policy statement (EASA D2005/
CPRO).
    Failure to comply with items as identified in Airbus A318/A319/
A320/A321 ALS Part 5 could result in a fuel tank explosion and
consequent loss of the aeroplane.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2011-0155R1, which is superseded [and which
corresponds to FAA AD 2012-20-07], and requires implementation of
the new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or
airworthiness limitations as specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321
ALS Part 5 at Rev.01.
* * * * *

    The required action is revising the maintenance or inspection
program to incorporate revised fuel airworthiness limitations. 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-2016-
5589.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the NPRM

    The Airline Pilots Association, International stated that it
supports the intent of the NPRM.

Request To Clarify and Revise Applicability

    American Airlines (AAL) asked if airplanes with an operating
certificate issued after the applicability date of July 19, 2014, in
paragraph (c) of the NPRM, are excluded from the proposed requirements.
AAL stated that it has received several Model A321 airplanes after July
19, 2014, that have the fuel tank inerting system (FTIS) installed in
production; AAL thinks the requirement to replace the air separation
module (ASM) having P/N 2060017-102 every 27,000 flight hours and other
tasks listed in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 5, Fuel
Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 01, dated July 9, 2014 (``ALS part
5 R01''), should apply to these airplanes. AAL requested that we revise
the applicability by removing the July 19, 2014, date in paragraph (c)
of the proposed AD and revising the applicability to be in sync with
ALS part 5 R01.
    We partially agree with AAL's requests. We agree that clarification
is necessary. AAL stated that, for airplanes with the FTIS installed,
operators must incorporate the ALS associated with the system in
accordance with ALS part 5 R01. However, we would like to reiterate the
information stated in the preamble of the NPRM under ``Airworthiness
Limitations Based on Type Design,'' which states that operators of
airplanes with an original certificate of airworthiness or original
export certificate of airworthiness issued after July 19, 2014, must
comply with the airworthiness limitations specified as part of the
approved type design. These airplanes are not subject to the
requirements of this AD. Therefore, if an airplane's type design
includes systems such as the FTIS, then the corresponding ALS specified
as part of the approved type design should address those systems as
appropriate, and must be incorporated into the maintenance/inspection
programs. Therefore, we disagree with AAL's request to change the
applicability of this AD. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Remove Task Requirement

    AAL requested that we remove ``Task 470000-05-1'' from paragraph
(j)(2) of the proposed AD because this is a one-time task, which AAL
has completed.
    We do not agree with AAL's request. Even if the current U.S.
registered fleet already complies with the requirements of ``Task
470000-05-1'' in paragraph (j)(2) of this AD, the requirement is still
necessary to ensure that any affected airplane imported and placed on
the U.S. register in the future complies as well. We have not changed
this AD in this regard.

Request To Revise Service Information

    AAL requested that we revise paragraph (j)(2)(ii) of the proposed
AD to include Airbus Service Bulletins A320-47-1025 and A320-47-1026,
which apply to AAL's airplanes.
    We do not agree with AAL's request. AAL's suggested changes are for
the retained requirements of AD 2012-20-07. Accomplishing the
requirements of paragraph (l) of this AD terminates the retained
requirements of paragraph (j) of this AD. Therefore, no change to this
AD is needed in this regard.

Request To Revise Service Information

    AAL requested that we revise table 1 to paragraph (j)(4) of the
proposed AD to include ASMs having P/N 2060017-

103 to ensure that these parts are being tracked for removal every
27,000 flight hours. AAL stated that 25 airplanes in its fleet are
equipped with ASMs having P/N 2060017-103.
    We do not agree with AAL's request. The suggested changes are for
the retained requirements of AD 2012-20-07. Adding additional
requirements to the retained requirements could put operators out of
compliance. As previously stated, incorporating the requirements of
paragraph (l) of this AD terminates the requirements of paragraph (j)
of this AD. Therefore, no change to this AD is needed in this regard.

Request for Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) Approval

    Spirit Airlines requested that we revise the NPRM to specify that
AMOC ANM-116-16-248 is approved as a means of compliance for the
actions proposed in paragraph (i) of the proposed AD. Spirit Airlines
stated that this AMOC permits the use of Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS
Part 5, Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 02, dated December 18,
2015.
    We agree with Spirit Airlines that AMOC ANM-116-16-248 is approved
as a method of compliance for the corresponding provisions of paragraph
(i) of this AD. However, no change is necessary to this AD because
paragraph (n)(1)(ii) of this AD already specifies that AMOCs approved
previously for AD 2012-20-07 are approved as AMOCs for the
corresponding provisions of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting 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 A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 5, Fuel
Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 01, dated July 9, 2014. The service
information describes fuel system 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

    We estimate that this AD affects 953 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions required by AD 2012-20-07 and retained in this AD take
about 4 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions
that are required by AD 2012-20-07 is $340 per product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of this AD on U.S. operators to be $81,005, or $85 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 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.

(k) Retained Requirement: No Alternative Actions, Intervals, and/or
CDCCLs, With No Changes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (k) of AD
2012-20-07, with no changes. Except as required by paragraph (l) of
this AD, after accomplishing the revisions required by paragraph (j)
of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections), intervals,
and/or CDCCLs may be used other than those specified in Airbus A318/
A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 5--Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, dated
February 28, 2006, as defined in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Fuel

(l) New Requirement of This AD: Revise the Maintenance or Inspection
Program

the tasks are at the times specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321
ALS Part 5, Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 01, dated July
9, 2014, or within 60 days after the effective date of this AD,
whichever occurs later. Incorporating the requirements of this
paragraph terminates the requirements of paragraphs (g) through (k)
of this AD.

(m) New Requirement of This AD: No Alternative Actions, Intervals, or
CDCCLs

    After the maintenance or inspection program has been revised as
required by paragraph (l) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g.,

intervals, or CDCCLs are approved as an AMOC in accordance with the

Department of Transportation Regulatory Implementation of Office
of Management and Budget's Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On December 19, 2014, the U.S. Department of Transportation,
with other Federal agencies, published a joint interim final rule
implementing the guidance titled ``Uniform Administrative Requirements,
Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards'' that the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published on December 26, 2013.
While the Department received two comments on related implementation
guidance, to which we respond, the Department did not receive any
comments on the final rule implementing the OMB guidance. Therefore,
this rule confirms that the changes that the Department published in
the interim final rule on December 19, 2014, are final.

DATES: Effective December 17, 2015.

General Counsel (C-10), U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
published guidance titled ``Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards'' in 2 CFR part
200 on December 26, 2013 (78 FR 78589), to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of Federal financial assistance. That guidance followed
an advance notice of proposed guidance (77 FR 11778) and a notice of
proposed guidance (78 FR 7282). The guidance required that Federal
agencies promulgate a regulation implementing its policies and
procedures. On December 19, 2014, the Department and other agencies
published a joint interim final rule to implement the guidance (79 FR
75871).
    In the joint interim final rule, the Department implemented the
guidance through regulations at 2 CFR part 1201 and removed its
previous regulations on Federal awards at 49 CFR parts 18 and 19. The
OMB and the Department received comments in response to the joint
interim final rule, but none of those comments were about the final
rule itself, 2 CFR part 1201, or 49 CFR part 18 or 19. Thus, the
Department confirms that the changes to 2 CFR part 1201 and 49 CFR
parts 18 and 19 that it published in the joint interim final rule are
final.
    Although the Department did not receive any comments regarding the
substance of the joint interim final rule, there were two comments
submitted related to implementation guidance that the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) issued on December 4, 2014. First, we received a
comment from the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) seeking
clarification of how FHWA expected State departments of transportation,
as ``pass-through entities,'' to monitor and negotiate subrecipients'
indirect costs. Section D.1.b of Appendix VII to part 200 states that
``[w]here a non-Federal entity only receives funds as a subrecipient,
the pass-through entity will be responsible for negotiating and/or
monitoring the subrecipient's indirect costs.'' The FHWA's
implementation guidance supports this requirement and does not add any
additional oversight responsibilities for the SHA in negotiating or
monitoring the subrecipient's indirect costs.
    Second, we received a comment from the Missouri Department of
Transportation (MoDOT). The FHWA implementation guidance had stated
that 2 CFR 200.309 was ``a significant change to the Federal-aid
highway program because it will impose a period when project costs can
be incurred, which includes a project agreement start and end date. . .
. The new provision will require an end date to be included in the
agreement after which no additional costs may be incurred and are not
eligible for reimbursement.'' The MoDOT commented that the
``requirement to monitor and track project end dates duplicates the
efforts being performed to monitor and track inactive projects.'' The
FHWA does not view the requirement in 2 CFR 200.210(a)(5) and 200.309
that Federal awards have end dates as duplicative of other requirements
on MoDOT. Instead, the requirement is an additional internal control
that complements existing stewardship and oversight responsibilities
held by State departments of transportation. The FHWA anticipates
issuing additional guidance about using project agreement end dates to
improve funds management.
    Regulatory analyses and notices for this final rule were published
with the joint interim final rule.
    For the reasons stated in the preamble, the Department of
Transportation adopts without change the addition of 2 CFR part 1201
and the removal and reservation of 49 CFR parts 18 and 19 that were
published in the joint interim final rule at 79 FR 75871 on December
19, 2014.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 30, 2015.

Secretary of Transportation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On November 17, 2009, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources
and Environmental Control (DNREC) submitted a revision to its SIP for
an amendment to Regulation No. 1142/SIP Regulation No. 42--Specific
Emission Control Requirements. This SIP revision added a new section,
Section 2--Control of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions from Industrial Boilers
and Process Heaters at Petroleum Refineries. The regulation was adopted
in order to require new and/or additional controls on industrial
boilers and process heaters with heat input capacities of equal to or
greater than 200 million British thermal units per hour (mmBTU/hr) at
petroleum refining facilities and to help Delaware attain and maintain
the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard by 2010.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    Regulation No.1142/SIP Regulation No. 42 establishes applicability
and compliance dates to any industrial boiler or process heater with a
maximum heat input capacity of equal to or greater than 200 mmBTU/hr,
which is operated or permitted to operate within a petroleum refinery
facility (except for any Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit carbon monoxide
(CO) boiler). Regulation No.1142/SIP Regulation No. 42 establishes
NOX emission limitations for any industrial boiler or
process heater with a maximum heat input capacity of equal to or
greater than 200 mmBTU/hr, which is operated or permitted to operate
within a petroleum refinery facility. The regulation also requires
compliance with monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the amendment to Delaware's SIP
revision Regulation No. 1142/SIP Regulation No. 42--Specific Emission
Control Requirements submitted on November 17, 2009. This regulation
will help to reduce NOX emissions from Delaware's large
industrial boilers and process heaters that are located at petroleum
refineries and help Delaware attain and maintain the NAAQS for the 1997
8-hour ozone standard by 2010. EPA is soliciting public comments on the
issues discussed in this document. These comments will be considered
before taking final action.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely proposes to approve State law as
meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional
requirements beyond those imposed by State law. For that reason, this
proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     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);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed rule, pertaining to Delaware's amendment
to add a new section, Section 2--Control of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions
from Industrial Boilers and Process Heaters at Petroleum Refineries to
Regulation No. 1142/SIP Regulation No. 42--Specific Emission Control
Requirements, does not have Tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP
is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State, and
EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on Tribal
governments or preempt Tribal law.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Export of Medical Devices; Foreign Letters of Approval

OMB Control Number 0910-0264--Extension

    Section 801(e)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C
Act) (21 U.S.C. 381(e)(2)) provides for the exportation of an
unapproved device under certain circumstances if the exportation is not
contrary to the public health and safety and it has the approval of the
foreign country to which it is

intended for export. Requesters communicate (either directly or through
a business associate in the foreign country) with a representative of
the foreign government to which they seek exportation, and written
authorization must be obtained from the appropriate office within the
foreign government approving the importation of the medical device.
    An alternative to obtaining written authorization from the foreign
government is to accept a notarized certification from a responsible
company official in the United States that the product is not in
conflict with the foreign country's laws. This certification must
include a statement acknowledging that the responsible company official
making the certification is subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C.
1001. This statutory provision makes it a criminal offense to knowingly
and willingly make a false or fraudulent statement, or make or use a
false document, in any manner within the jurisdiction of a department
or Agency of the United States. Respondents to this collection of
information are companies that seek to export medical devices.
    In the Federal Register of January 28, 2022 (87 FR 4609) we
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
    We estimate the burden of the collection of information as follows:

Foreign letter of approval--801(e)(2).............              36                1               36                2               72           $8,250
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs associated with this collection of information.

    Our estimate of the reporting burden is based on our experience
with the information collection and reflects an overall decrease of 27
hours and a corresponding increase of three responses. We attribute
this adjustment to an increase in the number of submissions received.

    Dated: August 17, 2022.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
