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 A300 B4-103, B4-203, and B4-2C airplanes, and
Model B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model C4-605R
Variant F airplanes (collectively called A300-600 series airplanes).
This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracking in the forward lug
of the main landing gear (MLG) rib 5 aft bearing attachment. This
proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for cracking of the
left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) wing MLG rib 5 aft bearing forward
lugs and repair if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and
correct cracking of the LH and RH wing MLG rib 5 aft bearing forward
lugs which, if not corrected,

could affect the structural integrity of the MLG attachment, which
could result in MLG collapse during landing or rollout with consequent
damage to the airplane and injury to occupants.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 13, 2012.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2010-0250, dated November 29, 2010 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    During routine visual inspection, a crack has been found in the
wing MLG [main landing gear] rib 5 aft bearing forward lug on two
A310 in-service aeroplanes. Laboratory examination of cracked ribs
confirmed that the crack was due to the presence of pitting
corrosion in the forward lug hole. Also on both aeroplanes medium to
heavy corrosion was found in the forward lugs on the opposite wing
after removal of the bushes. Similarly to A310 aeroplanes, A300 and
A300-600 aeroplanes are concerned by this situation which, if not
detected, could affect the structural integrity of the MLG
attachment.
    The aim of the [EASA] Emergency Airworthiness Directive (EAD)
2006-0372-E [which corresponds to FAA AD 2007-03-18, Amendment 39-
14929 (72 FR 5919, February 8, 2007)] was to mandate, for A300 and
A300-600 aeroplanes, repetitive detailed visual inspections (DVI) of
wing MLG rib 5 aft bearing forward lugs for detection of through
cracks.
    Since then, in order to ensure the detection of any crack in the
forward lug of the RH [right-hand] and LH [left-hand] MLG rib 5 aft
bearing attachment at an early stage, Airbus has developed a new
inspection by means of ultrasonic method. Due to the early crack
detection possibility, this new means of inspection also enables
extension of the inspection interval.
    For technical reasons, this new means of inspection is only
applicable to A300B4, C4, and F4 and A300-600 aeroplane series (not
to A300B2 aeroplane series).
    For these reasons, this new [EASA] AD * * * adds new inspection
program requirements [a revised detailed inspection, optional
ultrasonic inspections, and repair if necessary].

As an option, a modification which includes installing bushings with an
increased interference fit in the aft bearing forward lugs terminates
the repetitive inspections. You may obtain further information by
examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued the following service bulletins:
     Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57-0249, Revision 02,
dated June 18, 2010 (for Model A300-B4-103, B4-2C, and B4-203
airplanes).
     Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57-0251, including
Appendix 01, dated August 8, 2007 (for Model A300 B4-103, B4-203 and
B4-2C airplanes).
     Service Bulletin A300-57-6106, Revision 02, dated June 18,
2010 (for Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-605R, B4-620, B4-622, B4-622R,
F4-605R, F4-622R, and C4-605R airplanes).
     Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57-6107, including
Appendix 01, dated August 8, 2007 (for Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-
605R, B4-620, B4-622, B4-622R, C4-605R, F4-605R, and F4-622R
airplanes).

The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

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 the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    Although the MCAI allows further flight after cracks are found
during compliance with the required action, paragraph (i) of this AD
requires that you repair the cracks before further flight.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 165 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 3 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor

rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $42,075, or $255 per
product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 52 work-hours and require parts costing $4,590, for a cost
of $9,010 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
products that may need these actions.

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 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

I. Background

    Section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) specifies the general
requirements for states to submit SIPs to attain and maintain the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the EPA's actions
regarding approval of those SIPs. Idaho incorporates by reference (IBR)
various portions of Federal regulations codified in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) into the Rules for the Control of Air Pollution in
Idaho (IDAPA 58.01.01). Idaho then submits parts of IDAPA 58.01.01 to
the EPA for approval into the Federally-approved Idaho SIP (generally
those provisions that relate to the criteria pollutants regulated under
section 110 of the CAA for which the EPA has promulgated NAAQS or other
specific requirements of section 110).
    To ensure that its rules remain consistent with the EPA
requirements, Idaho generally updates the IBR citations in IDAPA
58.01.01 on an annual basis and submits a SIP revision to reflect any
changes made to the Federal regulations during that year. Idaho's
current SIP includes the approved incorporation by reference of
specific Federal regulations, revised as of July 1, 2015, at IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS> ``Incorporation by Reference.'' On March 20, 2018, the
State of Idaho submitted SIP revisions to the EPA to account for more
recent Federal regulatory changes adopted by Idaho.
    Additionally, on April 12, 2018, Idaho submitted a separate SIP
revision to remove an expired interim transportation conformity
provision. Transportation conformity is required under section 176(c)
of the CAA to ensure Federally supported highway, transit projects, and
other activities are consistent with (``conform to'') the purpose of
the SIP.

II. EPA Evaluation of Idaho's SIP Revisions

    Idaho submitted several state dockets (rulemakings) for approval to
the EPA. We note that the dockets also include revisions to Idaho's
regulations relating to its Title V operating permits, hazardous air
pollutants (referred to as ``toxic air pollutants'' in Idaho
regulations), and other air requirements that do not implement section
110 of the CAA. Idaho submitted these regulations for informational
purposes only, in order to provide a complete record of each docket. In
the cover letter to the March 20, 2018, submittal, Idaho specifically
stated that the identified provisions (IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>.03.f-n) were
not being submitted to update Idaho's SIP. We provide our analysis of
the revisions below.

A. 2016 Federal Rule IBR Update

    Docket 58-0101-1603 ``2016 Federal Rule IBR'' revises IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS>.03 ``Documents Incorporated by Reference'' to update the
citation dates for specific provisions incorporated by reference into
the Idaho SIP as of July 1, 2016. Although Idaho requested approval of
this docket, it has

been superseded by the annual IBR update for 2017, described below.
Therefore, we are acting on only the most recently adopted and
submitted version of Idaho's regulations (namely, the 2017 Federal Rule
IBR Update). Further action on this docket is not necessary because
this version of Idaho's regulations is no longer in effect.

B. 2017 Federal Rule IBR Update

    Docket 58-0101-1702 ``2017 Federal Rule IBR Update'' revises IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS> ``Incorporations by Reference'' to update the citation
dates for specific provisions incorporated by reference in IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS>.03 ``Documents Incorporated by Reference'' as of July 1,
2017. Subparagraph (a) of IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>.03 incorporates by
reference the Requirements for Preparation, Adoption, and Submittal of
Implementation Plans, 40 CFR part 51, with the exception of certain
visibility-related provisions, revised as of July 1, 2017. Importantly,
Idaho's update to the incorporation by reference of 40 CFR part 51
includes nonattainment new source review (NNSR) requirements at 40 CFR
51.165.
    Idaho has two designated PM2.5 nonattainment areas: West
Silver Valley 2012 annual PM2.5 nonattainment area, and the
Idaho portion of the Logan, Utah-Idaho 2006 24-hour PM2.5
nonattainment area. Idaho's incorporation by reference of 40 CFR 51.165
as of July 1, 2017, as referenced by IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS> Permit
Requirements for New Major Facilities and Modifications in
Nonattainment Areas, captures the EPA's 2016 rule changes to 40 CFR
51.165 promulgated under subpart 4, part D, of the Clean Air Act. See
Fine Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards: State
Implementation Plan Requirements; Final Rule (81 FR 58010, August 24,
2016).
    As a result, Idaho's NNSR program now regulates the four precursors
to PM2.5 that have been recognized by the EPA, namely,
nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, and
ammonia. Therefore, EPA is proposing to fully approve the Idaho SIP as
meeting current Federal NNSR requirements for all pollutants, including
PM2.5.
    Subparagraph (b) of IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>.03 incorporates by reference
the National Primary and Secondary Ambient Air Quality Standards, 40
CFR part 50. The current Idaho SIP approved version of subparagraph (b)
includes NAAQS revised as of July 1, 2015. On October 1, 2015, EPA
signed a notice of final rulemaking revising the 8-hour primary and
secondary ozone NAAQS (80 FR 65292; October 26, 2015). While both
standards retain the same general form and averaging time (annual
fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour average concentration, averaged
over three years \1\), the levels were lowered from 0.075 parts per
million (ppm) to 0.070 ppm.\2\ Idaho's 2017 Federal Rules IBR update
changed the citation date in subparagraph (b) to July 1, 2017 and
therefore reflects the current (October 2015) Federal NAAQS for ozone.
Other than ozone, EPA has not revised any other NAAQS since July 1,
2015. We therefore propose to approve Idaho's revision to subparagraph
(b) as consistent with Federal standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 80 FR 65296 (October 26, 2015), for a detailed
explanation of the calculation of the 3-year 8-hour average; see
also 40 CFR part 50, Appendix U.
    \2\ These levels are commonly referred to in parts per billion
(ppb): 75ppb and 70ppb, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subparagraph (c) of IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>.03 incorporates the Approval
and Promulgation of Implementation Plans, 40 CFR part 52, subparts A
and N, and appendices D and E. This includes the Federal Prevention of
Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting rules at 40 CFR 52.21 and
52.22 as of July 15, 2017. The current Idaho SIP approved version of
subparagraph (c) incorporates these Federal rules as effective July 1,
2015.
    Since July 1, 2015, EPA promulgated revisions to 40 CFR 52.21 and
repealed 52.22 in response to a court remand and vacatur. Specifically,
on June 23, 2014, the United States Supreme Court, in Utility Air
Regulatory Group (UARG) v. EPA, issued a decision addressing the
application of PSD permitting to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The
Supreme Court said EPA may not treat GHGs as air pollutants for
purposes of determining whether a source is a major source (or
modification thereof) required to obtain a PSD permit. The Court also
said EPA could continue to require that PSD permits, otherwise required
based on emissions of pollutants other than GHGs, contain limits on GHG
emissions based on the application of Best Available Control Technology
(BACT). In response to the UARG decision, and the subsequent Amended
Judgment issued by the D.C. Circuit (Amended Judgment), EPA revised the
Federal PSD rules to allow for the rescission of PSD permits that are
no longer required under these decisions, 80 FR 26183 (May 7, 2015),
and to remove the regulatory provisions that were specifically vacated
by the Amended Judgment, 80 FR 50199 (August 19, 2015). In addition,
EPA has proposed to revise provisions in the PSD permitting regulations
applicable to GHGs to fully conform with UARG and the Amended Judgment,
but those revisions have not been finalized. 81 FR 68110 (Oct. 3,
2016).
    Idaho's incorporation by reference of 40 CFR 52.21 and 52.22 as of
July 1, 2015, included the May 7, 2015 revisions to 40 CFR 52.21(w),
providing a mechanism for Idaho to rescind PSD permits that are no
longer required in light of UARG and the Amended Judgment, but did not
include the August 19, 2015 revisions to the Federal PSD program
removing the PSD provisions vacated by the Amended Judgment. Idaho's
March 20, 2018 SIP submittal updates the IBR citation date to July 1,
2017 and thereby encompasses the August 19, 2015 revisions to the
Federal PSD program. The Idaho SIP will still contain some of the
vacated GHG provisions (EPA has not finalized the actions proposed in
81 FR 68110), so EPA's approval of the Idaho's CFR incorporation by
reference update to July 1, 2017 does not change the Idaho SIP with
respect to the remaining vacated provisions. However, the remaining
vacated portions of 40 CFR 52.21 incorporated into the Idaho SIP-
approved PSD program are no longer enforceable.
    EPA believes this portion of the Idaho SIP should be revised in
light of the D.C. Circuit's Amended Judgment, but EPA also notes that
these provisions may not be implemented even prior to their removal
from the Idaho SIP because the court decisions described above have
determined these parts of EPA's regulations are unlawful. Further,
Idaho has advised EPA that it is not currently enforcing these
provisions in light of the Supreme Court decision. See 82 FR 22083, May
12, 2017. We are therefore proposing to approve subparagraph (c) with
the understanding that the GHG provisions vacated by the court
decisions cannot be implemented and are not being enforced by Idaho.
    Subparagraphs (d) and (e) of IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>.03 incorporate by
reference the following provisions revised as of July 1, 2017: (d)
Ambient Air Monitoring Reference and Equivalent Methods, 40 CFR part
53; and (e) Ambient Air Quality Surveillance, 40 CFR part 58. These
provisions relate to the criteria pollutants regulated under section
110 of title I of the CAA or other specific requirements of section 110
and make the Idaho SIP consistent with Federal law. The EPA is
proposing to approve the revisions to IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>.03 (d) and
(e).

C. Removal of Expired Rule

    Idaho submitted Docket 58-0101-1602 that repealed IDAPA
<IP_ADDRESS>2 ``Interim Conformity Provisions for Northern Ada County
Former Nonattainment Area for PM-10'' (section 582) because it was
outdated and no longer applicable. Section 582 was promulgated in 2001
as a temporary measure that was necessary only until a required
maintenance plan could be developed to address CAA transportation
conformity requirements for the PM10 Ada County
nonattainment area. Idaho has since developed and adopted the required
maintenance plan and EPA approved the maintenance plan on October 27,
2003 (68 FR 61106), effective November 26, 2003. Idaho repealed the
expired section 582 (state effective March 28, 2017) and submitted the
revision to EPA. EPA is therefore proposing to remove section 582 from
Idaho's SIP as requested by Idaho in its April 12, 2018 SIP submittal.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve, and incorporate by reference where
appropriate, in Idaho's SIP all revisions to IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>
Incorporations by Reference, except .03.f through .p (state effective
March 28, 2018) as requested by Idaho on March 20, 2018, and as
described in Section II.B. above.
    EPA is also proposing, as requested by Idaho on April 12, 2018, to
remove IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>2 Interim Conformity Provisions for Northern
Ada County Former Nonattainment Area for PM 10 from the Idaho SIP
because it expired in 2003 and Idaho has repealed it as a matter of
state law (state effective March 29, 2017). See Section II.C. (above).
    We have made the preliminary determination that the submitted SIP
revisions are consistent with section 110 and part C of Title I of the
CAA.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is proposing to include in a final rule,
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the provisions described above in Section III. Also in this
rule, EPA is proposing to remove, in a final EPA rule, regulatory text
that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with
requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to remove the
incorporation by reference of IDAPA <IP_ADDRESS>2 as described in
Section III. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and in
hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section of
this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

    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, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this proposed 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 proposed 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);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     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 it does not involve technical standards; and
     Does not provide the 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 proposed SIP would not be approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the proposed rule does not have tribal implications and
will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000).

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52

reference, Intergovernmental relations, Ozone, Particulate matter,
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Sulfur oxides, Volatile
organic compounds.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Purpose and Background

    On Tuesday, March 26, 2019 we published a notice of study entitled
