Amendment 39-21206; AD 2020-17-01]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Airbus SAS Model A319-115 and -153N; A320-214, -216, -232, -
251N, -252N, -271N, and -273N; and A321-211, -231, -251N, -253N, -271N,
-272N, -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, and -271NX airplanes. This AD was
prompted by reports of fuel leaks at the interface of the low pressure
shut off valves on the pylon areas of engines 1 and 2 due to improperly
installed parts during production. This AD requires a one-time detailed
inspection of each low pressure shut off valve on the pylon areas of
engines 1 and 2 for correct installation, and replacing the O-rings and
torqueing the mounting bolts within specified values as applicable, as
specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-
0148, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0148, dated July 6, 2020
(``EASA AD 2020-0148'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-115 and -153N; A320-214, -
216, -232, -251N, -252N, -271N, and -273N; and A321-211, -231, -251N, -
253N, -271N, -272N, -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, and -271NX airplanes.
    This AD was prompted by reports of fuel leaks at the interface of
the low pressure shut off valves on the pylon areas of engines 1 and 2
due to improperly installed parts during production. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address incorrect installation of the low pressure shut off
valves, which could result in fuel spillage in the flammable zone. This
condition, if not corrected, could result in an uncontrollable fire in
an engine pylon. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0148 describes procedures for a one-time detailed
inspection of each low pressure shut off valve on the pylon areas of
engines 1 and 2 for correct installation, and replacing the O-rings and
torqueing the mounting bolts within specified values as applicable.
This material 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

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD because the FAA evaluated
all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2020-0148 described previously, as incorporated by reference, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2020-0148
is incorporated by reference in this final rule. This AD, therefore,
requires compliance with EASA AD 2020-0148 in its entirety, through
that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that are the same
as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does not mean
that operators need comply only with that section. For example, where
the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance
times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the
section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in the
EASA AD. Service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0148 that is
required for compliance with EASA AD 2020-0148 is available on the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2020-0688.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because incorrect installation of the low pressure shut off valves on
the pylon areas of engines 1 and 2 could result in fuel spillage in the
flammable zone. This condition, if not corrected, could result in an
uncontrollable fire in an engine pylon. In addition, the compliance
time for the required action is shorter than the time necessary for the
public to comment and for publication of the final rule. Therefore, the
FAA finds good cause that notice and opportunity for prior public
comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reasons stated above,
the FAA finds 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 the FAA did not precede it by notice and opportunity for
public comment. The FAA invites 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-2020-0688;
Project Identifier MCAI-2020-00901-T'' at the beginning of your
comments. The FAA specifically invites comments on the overall
regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. The
FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date and may
amend this AD based on those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments the FAA receives, without change,
to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact the FAA receives about this AD.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Sanjay
Ralhan, Aerospace Engineer, Large Aircraft Section, International
Validation Branch, FAA, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198;
telephone and fax<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 188 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                     Estimated Costs for Required Actions *

                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable the FAA to provide parts cost estimates for the
  actions specified in this 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.
    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.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

to this AD.
    (3) Where EASA AD 2020-0148 specifies to comply with ``the
instructions of the AOT,'' this AD requires compliance with the
procedures marked as ``RC'' (required for compliance) in the Alert
Operators Transmission (AOT); except, where paragraph (1) of EASA AD
2020-0148 specifies accomplishing a detailed inspection ``in
accordance with the instructions of the AOT,'' this AD requires
accomplishing a detailed inspection ``in accordance with the
instructions in steps 2 through 4 of the AOT.''

(i) No Reporting

    Although the service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0148
includes reporting certain information to the manufacturer as an
``RC'' (required for compliance) step, this AD does not include that
requirement.
