SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Airbus Model A300 B4-103, B4-203, and B4-2C airplanes, and Model A300
B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R
Variant F airplanes (collectively called A300-600 series airplanes).
This AD was prompted by reports of cracking in the forward lug of the
main landing gear (MLG) rib 5 aft bearing attachment. This AD requires
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 issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the
LH and RH wing MLG rib 5 aft bearing forward lugs, which could affect
the structural integrity of the MLG attachment, resulting in MLG
collapse during landing or rollout with consequent damage to the
airplane and injury to occupants.
DATES: This AD becomes effective September 11, 2012.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 11,
2012.

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 February 28, 2012
(77 FR 11793). That NPRM proposed 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,
[[Page 46938]]
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.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.
Request To Refer to Revised Service Bulletin
UPS requested that we revise the NPRM (77 FR 11793, February 28,
2012) to refer to Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57-6106,
Revision 03, dated January 26, 2012. UPS pointed out that this revised
service bulletin provides a new repair drawing that supersedes a
previous repair drawing.
We agree. We have changed paragraphs (j) and (o) of this AD to
refer to Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57-6106, Revision 03,
dated January 26, 2012. We have also added paragraph (m)(5) to this AD
to give credit for actions done before the effective date of this AD
using Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6106, Revision 02, dated June 18,
2010.
Request To Change Paragraph Reference for Terminating Action
UPS stated that paragraph (k) of the NPRM (77 FR 11793, February
28, 2012) provides terminating action to AD 2007-03-18, Amendment 39-
14929 (72 FR 5919, February 8, 2007), by doing the inspections called
out in paragraph (g) of the NPRM. UPS stated that the reference for the
terminating action for the repetitive inspections of this NPRM and for
AD 2007-03-18 should be paragraph (j) of the NPRM.
We agree that paragraph (k) of this AD should refer to paragraph
(j), not paragraph (g), of this AD for the terminating modification.
Paragraph (k) of this AD has been changed to refer to paragraph (j) of
this AD.
Request To Specify Terminating Action for Related AD
UPS requested that we refer to Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin
A300-57-6106, Revision 03, dated January 26, 2012, which clarifies that
the terminating action for the repetitive inspections includes
replacing the bushings. UPS also requested that the same reference be
included in a related NPRM (Docket No. FAA-2011-1225, Directorate
Identifier 2010-NM-269-AD).
We agree that the terminating action should include replacing the
bushings, which is clarified in Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-
57-6106, Revision 03, dated January 26, 2012. As stated previously, we
have changed paragraph (j) of this AD to refer to Airbus Mandatory
Service Bulletin A300-57-6106, Revision 03, dated January 26, 2012. No
further change to this AD is necessary.
Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-269-AD, has been issued as AD 2012-
08-03, Amendment 39-17019 (77 FR 24367, April 24, 2012), and refers to
Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-57-6106, Revision 03, dated
January 26, 2012, for the terminating action.
Other Change Made To This AD
We have revised paragraph (m) of this AD to refer to paragraph (j)
of this AD instead of paragraph (g) of this AD.
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 and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 11793, February 28, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 11793, February 28, 2012).
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 165 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 3 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the 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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>; 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 (77 FR 11793, February 28,
2012), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations office
(telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will
be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.
