Background

    Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued AD CF-2022-51, dated

September 13, 2022 (Transport Canada AD CF-2022-51) (also referred to
as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Canada
Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 airplanes. The MCAI states
certain airplanes may have entered service with the OWEED escape line
incorrectly routed, in a manner that would render it inoperable when
needed. The OWEED escape line is used to facilitate passenger egress
along the wings following a ditching event. It is possible for the
OWEED escape line to be installed under the liner of the OWEED
resulting in the escape line not deploying, which could cause possible
injuries to passengers escaping over the wing following a ditching
event.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1492.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Transport Canada AD CF-2022-51 specifies procedures for doing a
detailed inspection of the OWEED escape line routing and correcting the
OWEED escape line routing, if required. 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
ADDRESSES.

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, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
described above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in Transport Canada AD CF-2022-51 described previously, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate Transport Canada AD CF-2022-51 by reference
in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require
compliance with Transport Canada AD CF-2022-51 in its entirety through
that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Service information
required by Transport Canada AD CF-2022-51 for compliance will be
available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2022-1492 after the
FAA final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 4 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.5 work-hours x $85 per hour = $128.........................              $0             $128             $512
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition action that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need this on-condition action:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 work-hour x $85 per hour = $85......              $0              $85
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 7 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests, and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible online at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive email
notification when a

document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For assistance with any
FERC Online service, please email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-28665; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-081-AD;
Amendment 39-15416; AD 2008-06-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 and A300-600 Series
Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    Three cases of outer deflector panel found detached or broken
during ground inspection have been reported to Airbus. * * * [A]n
operator has also reported a missing portion of hinge on one panel.
* * * Mishandling or failure of the small portion of hinge located
inboard of the affected deflector panel is suspected to be the main
cause of the deflector damage. This can cause misalignment of the
deflector panel followed by hinge pin migration and possible further
damages to the deflector on flap retraction. If not corrected, such
situation could lead to the loss of deflector panel and injured
people on the ground.

    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 16, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 16,
2008.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on July 10, 2007 (72 FR
37477). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Three cases of outer deflector panel found detached or broken
during ground inspection have been reported by operators to Airbus.
The affected deflector panel is the most outboard of the two outer
deflectors. In addition, an operator has also reported a missing
portion of hinge on one panel. The missing portion of hinge is held
to the structure through one Camloc fastener.
    Mishandling or failure of the small portion of hinge located
inboard of the affected deflector panel is suspected to be the main
cause of the deflector damage.

    This can cause misalignment of the deflector panel followed by
hinge pin migration and possible further damages to the deflector on
flap retraction. If not corrected, such situation could lead to the
loss of deflector panel and injured people on the ground.
    The aim of this Airworthiness Directive (AD) is to mandate the
one time inspection to detect and prevent damage to inner and outer
shroud box deflectors.

The corrective action includes repairing any discrepancy, or removing
the affected deflector door according to the configuration deviation
list (CDL). You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in
the AD docket

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received.

Request To Refer to Later Revision of Service Bulletin

    Airbus requests that we refer to Revision 01 of Airbus Service
Bulletin A300-57-6104, dated April 27, 2007. In the NPRM, we referred
to the original issue of that service bulletin, dated November 7, 2006,
as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the
required actions.
    We agree with Airbus' request to refer to Revision 01 of Airbus
Service Bulletin A300-57-6104. Revision 01 of the service bulletin
updates the operator and aircraft effectivity to show the latest
information, and changes the industry support information. No
additional work is required by this revision of the service bulletin.
Although Revision 01 notes that it adds a manufacturer serial number
(MSN) to the effectivity of the service bulletin, that MSN was already
specified in the applicability of our NPRM.
    We have changed paragraph (f) of this AD, and Table 1 of this AD,
to refer to Revision 01 of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6104. We
have also added paragraph (f)(3) to the AD to give credit to operators
that have done the actions previously in accordance with Airbus Service
Bulletin A300-57-6104, including Appendix 01, dated November 7, 2006.

Explanation of Change to Paragraph (f)(1)(ii)--Flight Manual References

    We have revised paragraph (f)(1)(ii) of the NPRM to specify that
operators must remove the affected deflector door according to a method
approved by either the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) (or its delegated agent). That paragraph also specifies
that one approved method for removing the door is described in Airbus
A300 Flight Manual (FM), Appendix--Configuration Deviation List,
Chapter 6.03.27, dated February 1, 1993; or Airbus A300-600 FM,
Appendix--Configuration Deviation List, Chapter 6.03.27, dated May 1,
1992; as applicable.
    This wording makes it clear that there may be other approved
variations of the Configuration Deviation List and, if so, that these
other variations would also be acceptable for compliance.

Explanation of Change to Paragraph (f)(2)--Reporting

    We have changed paragraph (f)(2) of the NPRM to specify that
reports are necessary only if any discrepancy is found as a result of
the inspection done in accordance with paragraph (f). We find that
requiring reports for inspections where no discrepancy is found puts an
undue burden on the operator.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD will
affect about 167 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it
will take about 16 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour.
Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the AD for U.S.
operators to be $213,760, or $1,280 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 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); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2008-06-04 Airbus: Amendment 39-15416. Docket No. FAA-2007-28665;
Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-081-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective April
16, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A300 and A300-600 series
airplanes, all certified models, all serial numbers, certificated in
any category; except Airbus Model A300-600 series airplanes from
manufacturer's serial number 0872 onward, which received application
of Airbus modifications 13245 and 13282 during production.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57: Wings.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    Three cases of outer deflector panel found detached or broken
during ground inspection have been reported by operators to Airbus.
The affected deflector panel is the most outboard of the two outer
deflectors. In addition, an operator has also reported a missing
portion of hinge on one panel. The missing portion of hinge is held
to the structure through one Camloc fastener.
    Mishandling or failure of the small portion of hinge located
inboard of the affected deflector panel is suspected to be the main
cause of the deflector damage.
    This can cause misalignment of the deflector panel followed by
hinge pin migration and possible further damages to the deflector on
flap retraction. If not corrected, such situation could lead to the
loss of deflector panel and injured people on the ground.
    The aim of this Airworthiness Directive (AD) is to mandate the
one time inspection to detect and prevent damage to inner and outer
shroud box deflectors.
    The corrective action includes repairing any discrepancy, or
removing the affected deflector door according to the configuration
deviation list (CDL).

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Within 18 months after the effective date of this AD, unless
already done, do a detailed visual inspection of the inner and outer
shroud box flap deflectors in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-0247, including
Appendix 01, dated November 7, 2006 (for Model A300 series
airplanes); or Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6104, Revision 01,
including Appendix 01, dated April 27, 2007 (for Model A300-600
series airplanes); as applicable.
    (1) If any discrepancy or damage is found, before next flight do
the action in paragraph (f)(1)(i) or (f)(1)(ii) of this AD.
    (i) Repair the affected flap deflector in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-0247,
including Appendix 01, dated November 7, 2006; or Airbus Service
Bulletin A300-57-6104, Revision 01, including Appendix 01, dated
April 27, 2007; as applicable.
    (ii) Remove the affected deflector door according to a method
approved by either the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) (or its delegated agent). One approved method is
described in Airbus A300 Flight Manual (FM), Appendix--Configuration
Deviation List, Chapter 6.03.27, dated February 1, 1993; or Airbus
A300-600 FM, Appendix--Configuration Deviation List, Chapter
6.03.27, dated May 1, 1992; as applicable. The removed door may be
reinstalled once it has been repaired in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-0247,
including Appendix 01, dated November 7, 2006; or Airbus Service
Bulletin A300-57-6104, Revision 01, including Appendix 01, dated
April 27, 2007; as applicable.
    (2) Report to Airbus any discrepancy found as a result of the
inspection done in accordance with paragraph (f) of this AD, using
the inspection report included in Appendix 01 of the applicable
service bulletin specified in paragraph (f) of this AD.
    (3) Actions done before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6104, including
Appendix 01, dated November 7, 2006, are acceptable for compliance
with the corresponding requirements of this AD.
