[Docket No. FAA-2017-0248; Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-088-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-26-
10, for all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes.
AD 2014-26-10 currently requires revising the maintenance or inspection
program to incorporate maintenance requirements and airworthiness
limitations. Since we issued AD 2014-26-10, we have determined that
more restrictive maintenance instructions and airworthiness limitations
are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or revised
airworthiness limitation requirements. This proposed AD also removes
airplanes from the applicability. We are proposing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 30, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR

Discussion

    On December 19, 2014, we issued AD 2014-26-10, Amendment 39-18061
(80 FR 2813, January 21, 2015) (``AD 2014-26-10''), for all Airbus
Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2014-26-10 was
prompted by a determination that the maintenance actions for airplane
systems susceptible to aging must be mandated. AD 2014-26-10 requires
revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We issued AD
2014-26-10 to mitigate the risks associated with aging effects of
airplane systems. Such aging effects could change the characteristics
of the systems leading to an increased potential for failure, which
could result in failure of certain life-limited parts, and reduced
structural integrity or reduced controllability of the airplane.
    Since we issued AD 2014-26-10, we have determined that more
restrictive maintenance instructions and airworthiness limitations are
necessary.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2016-0093, dated May 13, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the

MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A318,
A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The airworthiness limitations for Airbus A320 family aeroplanes
are currently defined and published in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) documents. The airworthiness
limitations applicable to the System Equipment Maintenance
Requirements, which are approved by [European Aviation Safety
Agency] EASA, are specified in ALS Part 4.
    The instructions contained in the ALS Part 4 have been
identified as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness. Failure
to comply with these instructions could result in an unsafe
condition.
    Previously, EASA issued AD 2013-0146 [which corresponds to FAA
AD 2014-26-10] to require accomplishment of all maintenance actions
as described in ALS Part 4 at Revision 01. The new ALS Part 4
Revision 03 (hereafter referred to as `the ALS' in this AD) includes
new and/or more restrictive requirements. ALS Part 4 Revision 03,
issue 02, has been released to include editorial changes.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2013-0146, which is superseded, and requires
accomplishment of the actions specified in the ALS.

    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-2017-
0248.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4, ``System
Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR)'' Revision 03 at Issue 02,
dated January 22, 2016. The service information describes preventative
maintenance requirements and includes updated inspections and intervals
to be incorporated into the maintenance or inspection program. 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.

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.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(k)(1) of this proposed AD. The request should include a description of
changes to the required inspections that will ensure the continued
operational safety of the airplane.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information

    The EASA AD specifies that if there are findings from the ALS
inspection tasks, then corrective action must be accomplished in
accordance with Airbus maintenance documentation. However, this
proposed AD does not include that requirement because operators of
U.S.-registered airplanes are required by general airworthiness and
operational regulations to use FAA-acceptable methods when performing
maintenance. We consider those methods to be adequate to address any
corrective actions necessitated by the findings of ALS inspections
required by this proposed AD.
    Although the EASA AD recommends accomplishing the tasks specified
in the ALS after the effective date of the EASA AD, and revising the
maintenance program within 12 months after the effective date of the
EASA AD, this proposed AD would only require revising the maintenance
or inspection program within 30 days after the effective date of this
AD, which correlates with the compliance time required by AD 2014-26-
10. In developing an appropriate compliance time for this proposed AD,
we considered the degree of urgency associated with the subject unsafe
condition, the average utilization of the affected fleet, and the time
necessary to perform the revision (1 work-hour). In light of these
factors, we find that a 30-day compliance time represents an
appropriate interval of time for affected airplanes to continue to
operate without compromising safety.
    These differences have been coordinated with the EASA and Airbus.

Airworthiness Limitations Based on Type Design

    The FAA recently became aware of an issue related to the
applicability of ADs that require incorporation of an ALS revision into
an operator's maintenance or inspection program.
    Typically, when these types of ADs are issued by civil aviation
authorities of other countries, they apply to all airplanes covered
under an identified type certificate (TC). The corresponding FAA AD
typically retains applicability to all of those airplanes.
    In addition, U.S. operators must operate their airplanes in an
airworthy condition, in accordance with 14 CFR 91.7(a). Included in
this obligation is the requirement to perform any maintenance or
inspections specified in the ALS, and in accordance with the ALS as
specified in 14 CFR 43.16 and 14 CFR 91.403(c), unless an alternative
has been approved by the FAA.
    When a type certificate is issued for a type design, the specific
ALS, including revisions, is a part of that type design, as specified
in 14 CFR 21.31(c).
    The sum effect of these operational and maintenance requirements is
an obligation to comply with the ALS defined in the type design
referenced in the manufacturer's conformity statement. This obligation
may introduce a conflict with an AD that requires a specific ALS
revision if new airplanes are delivered with a later revision as part
of their type design.
    To address this conflict, the FAA has approved alternative methods
of compliance (AMOCs) that allow operators to incorporate the most
recent ALS revision into their maintenance/inspection programs, in lieu
of the ALS revision required by the AD. This eliminates the conflict
and enables the operator to comply with both the AD and the type
design.
    However, compliance with AMOCs is normally optional, and we
recently became aware that some operators choose to retain the AD-
mandated ALS revision in their fleet-wide maintenance/inspection
programs, including those for new airplanes delivered with later ALS
revisions, to help standardize the maintenance of the fleet. To ensure
that operators comply with the applicable ALS revision for newly
delivered airplanes containing a later revision than that specified in
an AD, we plan to limit the applicability of ADs that mandate ALS
revisions to those airplanes that are subject to an earlier revision of
the ALS, either as part of the type design or as mandated by an earlier
AD.
    This proposed AD therefore would apply to the airplanes identified
in

paragraph (c) of this AD with an original certificate of airworthiness
or original export certificate of airworthiness that was issued on or
before the date of approval of the ALS revision identified in this
proposed AD. Operators of airplanes with an original certificate of
airworthiness or original export certificate of airworthiness issued
after that date must comply with the airworthiness limitations
specified as part of the approved type design and referenced on the
type certificate data sheet.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,032 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The actions required by AD 2014-26-10, and retained in this
proposed AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost
of the actions that are required by AD 2014-26-10 is $85 per product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour 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 this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $87,720, or $85
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);
    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.

(h) Retained Requirement: No Alternative Actions or Intervals, With New
Paragraph Reference

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD
2014-26-10, with new paragraph reference. Except as required by
paragraph (i) of this AD, after accomplishment of the revision
required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions or
intervals are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC)
in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (k)(1) of
this AD.

(i) New Requirement: Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision

    Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD: Revise the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate
Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS)
Part 4, ``System Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR)''
Revision 03 at Issue 02, dated January 22, 2016. The initial
compliance time for doing the actions is at the applicable time
specified in Airbus A318/

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

[Docket No. USCG-2015-0016]

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement: Western Rivers e-
AtoN Technology Demonstration

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces its intent to enter into a
cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) to prepare for a
demonstration, the ``Ohio River eNav Technology Demonstration'' of
electronic navigation (eNav) technology to be conducted by the Coast
Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Oceanic
Atmospheric Administration. The eNav demonstration will involve the
transmission of navigation safety and environmental information via
automatic identification system (AIS) technology to the electronic
charting system (ECS) displays on bridges of commercial vessels that
are operating in the test area. The purpose of the demonstration is to
identify the extent to which mariners would benefit from the
distribution of e-AtoN information; and the policy changes, the
infrastructure, and level of effort needed by the Coast Guard and its
partner agencies to operate and maintain this technology.
    The geographic area to be covered by the Ohio River eNav Technology
Demonstration includes the Ohio River from Markland Lock (north of
Louisville, KY) to the mouth of the Ohio River, and reaches of the
Mississippi River within 45 statute miles of its confluence with the
Ohio River. The Coast Guard needs end user participants, who are
commercial operators that regularly operate in the Ohio River eNav
Technology Demonstration test area, to receive the information via AIS.
While the Coast Guard is currently considering partnering with Rose
Point Navigation Systems (Rose Point), and CNS, Inc. (CNS), it solicits
public comment on the possible participation of other parties in the
proposed CRADA, and the nature of that participation.

DATES: Comments must be submitted to the online docket via http://www.regulations.gov, or reach the Docket Management Facility, on or
before 30 days after date of publication in the Federal Register.
    Synopses of proposals regarding future CRADAs must reach the Coast
Guard (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) on or before March 23,

Discussion

    CRADAs are authorized under 15 U.S.C. 3710(a).\1\ A CRADA promotes
the transfer of technology to the private sector for commercial use, as
well as specified research or development efforts that are consistent
with the mission of the Federal parties to the CRADA. The Federal party
or parties agree with one or more non-Federal parties to share research
resources, but the Federal party does not contribute funding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The statute confers this authority on the head of each
Federal agency. The Secretary of DHS's authority is delegated to the
Coast Guard and other DHS organizational elements by DHS Delegation
No. 0160.1, para. II.B.34.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CRADAs are not procurement contracts. Care is taken to ensure that
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the contracting process. CRADAs have
a specific purpose and should not be confused with other types of
agreements such as procurement contracts, grants, and cooperative
agreements.
    Under the proposed CRADA, the Coast Guard's Research and
Development Center (R&DC) will collaborate with one or more non-Federal
participants to ensure that commercial vessel pilots who operate in the
Ohio River Technology Demonstration Test Area are equipped with an ECS
capability that accept AIS inputs to navigate; and to ensure that
parties who have indicated their willingness to participate in the
Technology Demonstration can receive and display the eNav information
distributed by the Coast Guard during the eNav Technology
Demonstration.

    We anticipate that the Coast Guard's contributions under the
proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) Provide the ECS manufacturers with summaries and formats of the
information that will be distributed in the Ohio River eNav Technology
Demonstration.
    (2) Test the ECS equipment with the format upgrades in the RDC Test
Laboratory prior to the Demonstration and provide feedback to
manufacturers. Also, provide non-Federal participants with access to
the RDC Test Laboratory data output stream to evaluate the data
displays on their equipment.
    (3) Deploy an eNav system that distributes navigation and safety
information to marine users in the Technology Demonstration Test Area
on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
    (4) Conduct the Ohio River eNav Technology Demonstration. During
the Demonstration, record the information distributed through the AIS
and the information received by participating mariners' AIS receivers.
Collate and analyze the information collected by participating vessels
to quantify system performance. Collect anecdotal information on
mariners' responses to the technology and its benefits.
    We anticipate that the non-Federal participants' contributions
under the proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) Configure their software to enable the receipt and display of
eNav information on ECS devices located on vessel bridges of customers
who are participating in the Ohio River eNav Technology Demonstration.
    (2) Provide the Coast Guard with the latest version of its ECS
software to support the RDC Test Laboratory evaluation.
    (3) The RDC and its federal partners may finalize some AIS message
types after the Ohio River Technology Demonstration has started. As
their resources permit, the non-Federal participants will update their
software and distribute them to their customers and the RDC after the
Demonstration has started.
    (4) At the conclusion of the Demonstration, the RDC and the non-
Federal participants will jointly document the CRADA effort in a white
paper format, to document the features developed by the ECS
manufacturers, their installation on the test vessels, and the results
of the Ohio River eNav Technology Demonstration.
    The Coast Guard reserves the right to select for CRADA participants
all, some, or no proposals submitted for this CRADA. The Coast Guard
will provide no funding for reimbursement of proposal development
costs. Proposals and any other material submitted in response to this
notice will not be returned. Proposals submitted are expected to be
unclassified and have no more than five single-sided pages (excluding
cover page, DD 1494, JF-12, etc.). The Coast Guard will select
proposals at its sole discretion on the basis of:
    (1) Existence of commercial customers who routinely operate in the
Ohio River eNav Technology Demonstration study area, who are equipped
with an ECS capability that accept AIS inputs to navigate, and who are
willing to participate in the Demonstration.
    (2) How well respondents address the following criteria:
    (a) Technical capability to support the non-Federal party
contributions described; and
    (b) Resources available for supporting the non-Federal party
contributions described.
    Currently, the Coast Guard is considering CNS and Rose Point for
participation in this CRADA. This consideration is based on the fact
that the Coast Guard has identified CNS and Rose Point as customers in
the Demonstration area that use ECS with AIS input capability. However,
the Coast Guard does not wish to exclude other viable participants from
this CRADA.
    This is a technology transfer/development effort. Presently, the
Coast Guard has no plan to procure an ECS capability. Since the goal of
this CRADA is to identify and investigate the advantages,
disadvantages, required technology enhancements, performance, costs,
and other issues associated with using ECS capabilities, non-Federal
CRADA participants will not be excluded from any future Coast Guard
procurements based solely on their participation in this CRADA. Special
consideration will be given to small business firms/consortia, and
preference will be given to business units located in the U.S.
    This notice is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 15
U.S.C. 3710(a).

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R01-OAR-2013-0028; A-1-FRL-9797-3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Massachusetts; Reasonably Available Control Technology for the 1997 8-
Hour Ozone Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions
submitted by the State of Massachusetts. These SIP revisions consist of
a demonstration that Massachusetts meets the requirements of reasonably
available control technology (RACT) for oxides of nitrogen
(NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) set forth by the
Clean Air Act with respect to the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.
Additionally, we are approving updates to two existing regulations
limiting emissions of volatile organic compounds. This action is being
taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.

    Organization of this document. The following outline is provided to
aid in locating information in this preamble.

I. Background and Purpose
II. Final Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background and Purpose

    On February 14, 2013 (78 FR 10583), EPA published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Massachusetts. The NPR
proposed approval of Massachusetts' January 31, 2008 SIP submittal that
demonstrates that the state has adopted air pollution control
strategies that represent RACT for purposes of compliance with the 1997
8-hour ozone standard. In addition, the NPR proposed approval of two
revised regulations (and associated definitions) submitted by
Massachusetts as a SIP revision on June 1, 2010: 310 CMR 7.18(8),
``Solvent Metal Degreasing;'' and 310 CMR 7.24(6), ``Dispensing of
Motor Vehicle Fuel.''
    The specific details of the January 31, 2008 RACT demonstration and
the two revised regulations and the rationale for EPA's proposed action
are explained in the NPR and will not be restated here. No public
comments were received on the NPR.

II. Final Action

    EPA is approving the RACT certification in Massachusetts' January
31, 2008 SIP submittal that demonstrates that the state has adopted air
pollution control strategies that represent RACT for purposes of
compliance with the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. EPA previously approved
other portions of Massachusetts' January 31, 2008 SIP submittal on
August 22, 2012 (77 FR 50595), and Massachusetts withdrew certain other
portions of the

submittal in a letter dated January 18, 2013. Therefore, with today's
final action, EPA has completed its action on Massachusetts' January
31, 2008 SIP submittal. Nothing more regarding this submittal is
pending before EPA.
    In addition, we are approving two revised regulations submitted by
Massachusetts on June 1, 2010: 310 CMR 7.18(8), ``Solvent Metal
Degreasing;'' and 310 CMR 7.24(6), ``Dispensing of Motor Vehicle
Fuel.'' Furthermore, we are also approving the following new and
revised definitions in 310 CMR 7.00 that are associated with these
regulations: Isolate; minor modification; routine maintenance; solvent
metal degreasing; special and extreme solvent metal cleaning; and
substantial modification.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    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, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, 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 Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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 Clean Air Act; 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).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not 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 Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by November 8, 2013. 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).)
