Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Airbus Model A319 series airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214,
-231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -
212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by
investigations that revealed that the cover seal of the brake dual
distribution valve (BDDV) was damaged and did not ensure efficient
sealing. This proposed AD would require identifying the BDDV part
number installed on the airplane, and modifying or replacing BDDVs
having certain part numbers. We are proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2017-0119, dated July 11, 2017 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model
A319 series airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233
airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and
-232 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    In 1998, an operator experienced a dual loss of braking systems.
Investigation results revealed that the cover seal of the BDDV was
damaged and did not ensure the sealing efficiency.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to water ingestion
in the BDDV, freezing of the BDDV in flight, and consequent loss of
braking system function after landing, possibly resulting in damage
to the aeroplane and injury to occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus issued Alert
Operator Telex (AOT) 32-19 and Service Bulletin (SB) A320-32-1199,
providing instructions for repetitive functional tests. In addition,
Airbus developed mod 28301 and published SB A320-32-1203 to provide
modification instructions.
    Consequently, DGAC France issued AD 2000-258-146 [which
corresponds to FAA AD 2001-15-10, Amendment 39-12344 (66 FR 39413,
dated July 31, 2001) (``AD 2001-15-10'')] to require repetitive
functional tests as a temporary solution (valid for a period of 15
months) and modification of the BDDV with a new cover and
installation of a draining tube with a cap, which was terminating
action for the repetitive functional tests. For pre-mod 27833 and
pre-SB A320-32-1200 aeroplanes, repetitive inspections per SB A320-
32-1199 were required as interim action, prior to the terminating
action modification per SB A320-32-1203.
    After that [DGAC] AD was issued, following a new event, Airbus
developed a new modification of the BDDV drain tube which leaves it
open, ensuring continuous drainage of any ingested water, thereby
preventing freezing of the brake system.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD 2014-0251 (later revised),
partially retaining the requirements of DGAC France AD 2000-258-146,
which was superseded, and requiring an additional modification of
the BDDV drain tube and re-identification of the BDDV.
    Since EASA AD 2014-0251R1 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2016-06-
13, Amendment 39-18444 (81 FR 17365, dated March 29, 2016) (``AD
2016-06-13'')] was issued, comments were received that indicated a
need for correction and clarification. Consequently, this [EASA] AD
retains the requirements of EASA AD 2014-0251R1, which is
superseded, and expands the list of BDDV Part Numbers (P/N) which
must be removed from service and are no longer eligible for
installation on an aeroplane [and includes replacing affected part
numbers as an option]. This [EASA] AD also clarifies the intended
requirements of EASA AD 2014-0251 and introduces editorial changes,
not affecting the requirements.

    Paragraph (1) of the MCAI is addressed in paragraphs (e) and (f) of
FAA AD 2001-15-10; Paragraph (2) of the MCAI is addressed in paragraph
(g) of FAA AD 2016-06-13.
    This NPRM would not supersede AD 2001-15-10 and AD 2016-06-13.
Rather, we have determined that a stand-alone AD would be more
appropriate to address the changes in the MCAI. This NPRM would require
identifying the BDDV part number installed on the airplane, and
modifying or replacing BDDVs having certain part numbers.
    Doing the proposed actions would terminate the requirements in
paragraphs (e) and (f) of AD 2001-15-10, and would terminate all of the
requirements of AD 2016-06-13.
    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-
0297.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-32-1203, Revision 02, dated
February 9, 2001. This service information describes procedures for
identifying the BDDV part number installed on the airplane, and
modifying or replacing BDDVs having certain part numbers.
    Airbus has also issued Service Bulletin A320-32-1415, Revision 02,
dated December 10, 2015. This service information describes procedures
for modifying and re-identifying the BDDV. The modification includes
modifying the drain hose of the BDDV, and doing all related
investigative and corrective actions if applicable. The related
investigative actions include an inspection for corrosion. Corrective
actions include replacing the BDDV.
    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.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed 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 and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these
same type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,136 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
                Action                         Labor cost           Parts cost        product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identification and modification or      6 work-hours x $85 per              $395            $905      $1,028,080
 replacement.                            hour = $510.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed
AD.

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 proposed 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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed
regulation:
    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.

II. Petition for Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of April 8, 2009 (74 FR 15974) (FRL-8407-
4), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP
8F7442) by BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Dr., P.O. Box 13528, Research
Triangle Park, NC 27709-3528. The petition requested that 40 CFR
180.463 be amended by establishing tolerances for residues of the
herbicide quinclorac, 3,7-dichloro-8-quinolinecarboxylic acid, in or on
grass, forage at 105 and grass, hay at 70 parts per million (ppm). That
notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared by BASF
Corporation, the registrant, which is available to the public in the
docket, http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in
response to the notice of filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has
concluded that 40 CFR 180.463 can be amended by establishing tolerances
for residues of the herbicide quinclorac in or on grass, forage at 150
ppm and grass, hay at 130 ppm instead of the petitioned for 105 ppm on
grass, forage and 70 ppm on grass, hay. The reason for these changes
are explained in Unit IV.C.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section
408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will

result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and in residential settings, but does not include
occupational exposure. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to
give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the
pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to
infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical
residue. . . .''
    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, and the factors
specified in section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to
make a determination on aggregate exposure for the petitioned-for
tolerances for residues of quinclorac on grass, forage at 150 ppm and
grass, hay at 130 ppm. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks
associated with establishing tolerances follows.
    In the Federal Register of October 7, 2009 (74 FR 51485) (FRL-8434-
3) the Agency published a final rule establishing tolerances for
residues of quinclorac in or on cranberry at 15.0 ppm. The Agency
conducted risk assessments to support that tolerance action.
    The risk assessment associated with this 8F7442 petition request on
grass, forage and grass, hay assessed the possibility that grass,
forage and hay can be used as livestock feed stuffs and found that the
current tolerances established for quinclorac for livestock commodities
are adequate to cover the proposed new use on pasture and rangeland. In
addition, the drinking water assessment conducted concluded that
Estimated Drinking Water Concentrations (EDWCs) of quinclorac in
surface water and ground water resulting from the new use are less than
the previously assessed EDWCs from the use on cranberry. No new
residential uses are requested in the 8F7442 petition. Therefore, no
change in the dietary exposure (from food and water) is expected, and
establishing tolerances on grass, forage and grass, hay will not change
the most recent estimated aggregate risks resulting from use of
quinclorac, as discussed in the October 7, 2009 Federal Register. Refer
to the October 7, 2009 Federal Register document for a detailed
discussion of the aggregate risk assessments and determination of
safety. EPA relies upon those risk assessments and the findings made in
the Federal Register document, along with the risk assessment completed
on this petition request in support of this action. The risk assessment
completed for this petition request can be found at http://
www.regulations.gov in document ``Human Health Risk Assessment for
Quinclorac New Use on Pasture/Rangeland'' in docket ID number EPA-HQ-
OPP-2008-0937.
    Therefore, based on the risk assessment discussed in the final rule
published in the Federal Register of October 7, 2009, and the risk
assessment completed in support of this petition request, EPA concludes
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the
general population, or to infants and children from aggregate exposure
to quinclorac residues.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate analytical methods utilizing gas chromatography with
electron capture detection (GC/ECD), are available to enforce the
tolerance expression on plant (BASF Mehod A8902, Master Record
Identification Number (MRID) 41063537) and livestock commodities (BASF
Method 268/1, MRID 41063536), and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) for
quinclorac is 0.05 ppm by these methods. Both methods have undergone
successful agency method validation trials and have been submitted to
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for publication in PAM II as the
tolerance enforcement methods. Furthermore, the available FDA multi-
residue method (MRM) testing data indicate that quinclorac is
completely recovered using Method 402 in PAM, Vol. 1.

B. International Residue Limits

    There are no Codex, Canadian, or Mexican maximum residue limits
(MRLs) established for quinclorac on grass, forage and grass, hay.

C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances

    Review of available field trial data indicate that the proposed
tolerances for grass, forage at 105 ppm and grass, hay at 70 ppm are
too low; tolerances of 150 ppm and 130 ppm, respectively, are
appropriate based on the results of analysis of the field trial data
using the Agency's Tolerance Spreadsheet in accordance with the
Agency's Guidance for Setting Pesticide Tolerances Based on Field Trial
Data.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of quinclorac,
3,7-dichloro-8-quinolinecarboxylic acid, in or on grass, forage at 150
ppm and grass, hay at 130 ppm.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes tolerances under section 408(d) of
FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is
not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance in
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.) do not apply.
    This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175,

entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this final rule. In
addition, this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or
contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).

VII. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What action is EPA proposing to take?

    EPA is finalizing the approval of changes to North Carolina's SIP
that were provided to EPA through NCDEQ via a letter dated April 13,
2021.\1\ EPA is approving the changes to North Carolina's 15A North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Subchapter 02D, Section .1400,
Nitrogen Oxides (hereinafter referred to as Section .1400).\2\ The
April 13, 2021, revision to the North Carolina SIP transmits changes
that do not alter the meaning of the regulations, such as clarifying
changes, updated cross-references, and several ministerial language
changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA notes that the submittal was received through the State
Planning Electronic Collaboration System (SPeCS) on April 14, 2021.
For clarity, this notice will refer to the submittal by the date on
the cover letter, which is April 13, 2021.
    \2\ EPA notes that the Agency received several submittals
revising the North Carolina SIP that were transmitted with the same
April 13, 2021, cover letter. EPA will be considering action for
these other SIP revisions in separate rulemakings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, EPA is finalizing the approval of changes to 15A NCAC
Subchapter 02D, Rules: .1401, Definitions; .1402, Applicability; .1403,
Compliance Schedules; .1404 Recordkeeping: Reporting: Monitoring;

to Rule 02D .1423, Large Internal Combustion Engines, included in
the notice of proposed rulemaking published on November 22, 2022 (87
FR 71286).

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

    Through a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), published on
November 22, 2022 (87 FR 71286), EPA proposed to approve the April 13,
2021, changes to North Carolina Section 15 NCAC 02D .1400. The details
of North Carolina's submission, as well as EPA's rationale for
approving the changes, are described in more detail in the November 22,
2022, NPRM. Comments on the November 22, 2022, NPRM were due on or
before December 22, 2022. No comments were received on the NPRM,
adverse or otherwise.

II. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of 15A NCAC
Subchapter 02D .1401, Definitions; .1402, Applicability; .1403,
Compliance Schedules; .1404 Recordkeeping: Reporting: Monitoring;
.1407, Boilers and Indirect-Fired Process Heaters; .1408, Stationary

continue to make, these materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information). Therefore, these materials have
been approved by EPA for inclusion in the State implementation plan,
have been incorporated by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully
federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the
effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Final Action

    EPA is finalizing the approval of the April 13, 2021, SIP revision
to incorporate various changes to North Carolina's NOX air
provisions into the SIP. Specifically, EPA is proposing to approve
various ministerial and minor changes to language and other clarifying
changes throughout North Carolina's rules in 02D Section .1400,
Nitrogen Oxides. EPA is approving these changes because they are
consistent with the CAA.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 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 CAA. This action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     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 CAA; 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).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by March 14, 2023. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
