14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2009-1067; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-071-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 B2 and A300 B4 Series
Airplanes; A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R Series Airplanes; and
Model C4-605R Variant F Airplanes (Collectively Called A300-600 Series
Airplanes)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This
proposed 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:

    Following the occurrence of cracks on the MLG [main landing
gear] rib 5 RH [right-hand] and LH [left-hand] attachment fitting
lower flanges, DGAC [Direction G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation
Civile] France AD 2003-318(B) [parallel to part of FAA AD 2006-12-
13] was issued to require repetitive inspections and, as terminating
action * * *[.]
    Subsequently, new cases of cracks were discovered during
scheduled maintenance checks by operators of A300B4 and A300-600
type aeroplanes on which the terminating action * * * [was]
embodied. This condition, if not corrected, could affect the
structural integrity of those aeroplanes.
* * * * *
The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 4, 2010.

Discussion

    On May 31, 2006, we issued AD 2006-12-13, Amendment 39-14639 (71 FR
33994, June 13, 2006). That AD required actions intended to address an
unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2006-12-13, the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European

Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2009-0081, dated
April 6, 2009 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    Following the occurrence of cracks on the MLG [main landing
gear] rib 5 RH [right-hand] and LH [left-hand] attachment fitting
lower flanges, DGAC [Direction G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation
Civile] France AD 2003-318(B) [parallel to part of FAA AD 2006-12-
13] was issued to require repetitive inspections and, as terminating
action, the embodiment of Airbus Service Bulletins (SB) A300-57-0235
and A300-57-6088 * * *.
    Subsequently, new cases of cracks were discovered during
scheduled maintenance checks by operators of A300B4 and A300-600
type aeroplanes on which the terminating action SBs were embodied.
This condition, if not corrected, could affect the structural
integrity of those aeroplanes.
    To address and correct this condition, Airbus developed an
inspection programme for aeroplanes modified in accordance with SB
A300-57-0235 or A300-57-6088. This inspection programme was required
to be implemented by DGAC France AD F-2005-113, original issue and
later revision 1 [parallel to part of FAA AD 2006-12-13].
    A new EASA AD 2008-0111, superseding DGAC France AD F-2005-
113R1, was issued to reduce the applicability. For aeroplanes
already compliant with DGAC France AD F-2005-113R1, no further
action was required.
    Since EASA AD 2008-0111 issuance, Airbus reviewed the inspection
programmes of SB A300-57A0246 and SB A300-57A6101 to introduce
repetitive inspections including a new inspection technique for
holes 47 and 54 and to reduce inspections threshold and intervals
from 700 Flight Cycles (FC) to 400 FC until a revised terminating
action is made available.

Required actions include contacting Airbus for repair instructions, if
necessary, and doing the repair. You may obtain further information by
examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57A0246,
including Appendixes 1 and 2, Revision 03, dated March 11, 2009; and
Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57A6101, including Appendixes 1 and 2,
Revision 03, dated March 11, 2009. The actions described in this
service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

Changes to Existing AD

    This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 2006-12-
13. Since AD 2006-12-13 was issued, the AD format has been revised, and
certain paragraphs have been rearranged. As a result, the corresponding
paragraph identifiers have changed in this proposed AD, as listed in
the following table:

                      Revised Paragraph Identifiers
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                           Corresponding requirement in
      Requirement in  AD 2006-12-13              this proposed AD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paragraph (e)...........................  paragraph (f).
Paragraph (f)...........................  paragraph (g).
Paragraph (g)...........................  paragraph (h).
Paragraph (h)...........................  paragraph (i).
Paragraph (i)...........................  paragraph (j).
Paragraph (j)...........................  paragraph (k).
Paragraph (k)...........................  paragraph (l).
Paragraph (l)...........................  paragraph (m).
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have also revised paragraph (i) of this NPRM to clarify the
compliance times for airplanes that have not had the modification
required by paragraph (i) of this NPRM accomplished before July 18,
2006. We added the phrase, ``Except as required by paragraph (l) of
this AD,'' to paragraph (i) of this NPRM. We have determined that this
change will neither increase the economic burden on any operator nor
increase the scope of the AD.
    We have also revised paragraph (o) of this AD to specify that no
reporting is required.

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

    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 proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 155 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2006-12-13 and retained in this
proposed AD take about 76 work-hours per product, at an average labor
rate of $80 per work hour. Required parts cost about $10,270 per
product. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently
required actions is $16,350 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 3 work-hours per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $37,200, or $240
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 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); 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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Subject

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

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    Following the occurrence of cracks on the MLG [main landing
gear] rib 5 RH [right-hand] and LH [left-hand] attachment fitting
lower flanges, DGAC [Direction G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation
Civile] France AD 2003-318(B) [parallel to part of FAA AD 2006-12-
13] was issued to require repetitive inspections and, as terminating
action, the embodiment of Airbus Service Bulletins (SB) A300-57-0235
and A300-57-6088 * * *.
    Subsequently, new cases of cracks were discovered during
scheduled maintenance checks by operators of A300B4 and A300-600
type aeroplanes on which the terminating action SB's were embodied.
This condition, if not corrected, could affect the structural
integrity of those aeroplanes.
    To address and correct this condition, Airbus developed an
inspection programme for aeroplanes modified in accordance with SB
A300-57-0235 or A300-57-6088. This inspection programme was required
to be implemented by DGAC France AD F-2005-113, original issue and
later revision 1 [parallel to part of FAA AD 2006-12-13].
    A new EASA [European Aviation Safety Agency] AD 2008-0111,
superseding DGAC France AD F-2005-113R1, was issued to reduce the
applicability. For aeroplanes already compliant with DGAC France AD
F-2005-113R1, no further action was required.
    Since EASA AD 2008-0111 issuance, Airbus reviewed the inspection
programmes of SB A300-57A0246 and SB A300-57A6101 to introduce
repetitive inspections including a new inspection technique for
holes 47 and 54 and to reduce inspections threshold and intervals
from 700 Flight Cycles (FC) to 400 FC until a revised terminating
action is made available.
    Required actions include contacting Airbus for repair
instructions, if necessary, and doing the repair.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2000-05-07:

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Repetitive Inspections

    (g) Perform a detailed inspection and a high-frequency eddy
current (HFEC) inspection to detect cracks in Gear Rib 5 of the main
landing gear (MLG) attachment fittings at the lower flange, in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of any applicable
service bulletin listed in Table 1 and Table 2 of this AD, at the
time specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD. After April
12, 2000 (the effective date of AD 2000-05-07, amendment 39-11616),
only the service bulletins listed in Table 2 of this AD may be used.
Repeat the inspections thereafter at intervals not to exceed 1,500
flight cycles, until the actions specified in paragraph (i), (j), or
(l) of this AD are accomplished.

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

     (1) For airplanes that have accumulated 20,000 or more total
flight cycles as of March 9, 1998 (the effective date of AD 98-03-
06, amendment 39-10298): Inspect within 500 flight cycles after
March 9, 1998.
    (2) For airplanes that have accumulated less than 20,000 total
flight cycles as of March 9, 1998: Inspect prior to the accumulation
of 18,000 total flight cycles, or within 1,500 flight cycles after
March 9, 1998, whichever occurs later.

    Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a detailed inspection is
defined as: ``An

intensive visual examination of a specific structural area, system,
installation, or assembly to detect damage, failure, or
irregularity. Available lighting is normally supplemented with a
direct source of good lighting at intensity deemed appropriate by
the inspector. Inspection aids such as mirror, magnifying lenses,
etc., may be used. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures
may be required.''

    Note 2:  Accomplishment of the initial detailed and HFEC
inspections in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57A0234
or A300-57A6087, both dated August 5, 1997, as applicable, is
considered acceptable for compliance with the initial inspections
required by paragraph (g) of this AD.

Repair for Any Crack Found During Inspections Required by Paragraph (g)
of This AD

    (h) If any crack is detected during any inspection required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, prior to further flight, accomplish the
requirements of paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this AD, as
applicable.
    (1) If a crack is detected at one hole only, and the crack does
not extend out of the spotface of the hole, repair in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service
bulletin in Table 2 of this AD.
    (2) If a crack is detected at more than one hole, or if any
crack at any hole extends out of the spotface of the hole, repair in
accordance with a method approved by the Manager, International
Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, or the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) (or its delegated agent).

Terminating Modification for Repetitive Inspections Required by
Paragraphs (g) and (j) of This AD

    (i) Except as required by paragraph (l) of this AD, prior to the
accumulation of 21,000 total flight cycles, or within 2 years after
October 20, 1999 (the effective date of AD 99-19-26, amendment 39-
11313), whichever occurs later: Modify Gear Rib 5 of the MLG
attachment fittings at the lower flange in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service bulletin in
Table 3 of this AD. After July 18, 2006 (the effective date of AD
2006-12-13), only Revision 04 of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-
6088, and Revisions 04 and 05 of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-

provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is impracticable. Immediate action
is needed to protect persons and property from the potential safety
hazards associated with line pulling operations. The NPRM process would
delay the establishment of the safety zone until after the date of the
event and compromise public safety. We must establish this temporary
safety zone immediately and lack sufficient time to provide a
reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before
issuing the rule.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate
action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated
with the line pulling operations in the vicinity of Natchez, MS.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Sector Lower
Mississippi River (COTP) has determined that potential hazards
associated with the line pulling operations, would be a safety concern
for all persons and vessels on the Lower Mississippi River between MM
368 and MM 370 in the vicinity of Natchez, MS. This rule is needed to
protect persons, property, infrastructure, and the marine environment
in all waters of the LMR within the safety zone while line pulling
operations are being conducted.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from March 1, 2021
through March 15, 2021. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters
of the LMR from MM 368 through MM 370 in the vicinity of Natchez, MS.
The duration of this safety zone is intended to ensure the safety of
waterway users on these navigable waters during USACE operations.
    Entry of persons or vessels into this safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the COTP or a designated representative. A
designated representative is a commissioned, warrant, or petty officer
of the U.S. Coast Guard assigned to units under the operational control
of USCG Sector Lower Mississippi River. Persons or vessels seeking to
enter the safety zones must request permission from the COTP or a
designated representative on VHF-FM channel 16 or by telephone at 901-
521-4822. If permission is granted, all persons and vessels shall
comply with the instructions of the COTP or designated representative.
The COTP or a designated representative will inform the public of the
enforcement times and date for this safety zone through Broadcast
Notices to Mariners (BNMs), Local Notices to Mariners (LNMs), and/or
Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIBs), as appropriate.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zone. This emergency safety zone
will temporarily restrict navigation on the LMR at MM 368 through 370
in the vicinity of Natchez, MS., from March 1, 2021 through March 15,
2021. Moreover, The Coast Guard will issue Broadcast Notices to
Mariners (BNMs), Local Notices to Mariners (LNMs), and/or Marine Safety
Information Bulletins (MSIBs), as appropriate. The rule allows vessels
to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
temporary safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in
section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We
have analyzed this rule under that Order and have determined that it is
consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption
requirements described in Executive Order 13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one
of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have
a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
temporary safety zone on the LMR at MM 368 through 370 in the vicinity
of Natchez, MS, that will prohibit entry into this zone. The safety
zone will only be enforced while operations preclude the safe
navigation of the established channel. It is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of
DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket.
For instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of
this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
