SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, Model
A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600
series airplanes), and Model A310 series airplanes. This AD was
prompted by reports of insufficient clearance for the electrical wiring
bundles in the leading and trailing edges of the right-hand (RH) and
left-hand (LH) wings. This AD requires modifying the electrical routing
installation at the RH and LH wings. We are issuing this AD to prevent
insufficient clearance of electrical wiring bundles located in the
leading and trailing edges of the RH and LH wings, which could lead to
chafing damage and arcing, possibly resulting in an on-board fire.
DATES: This AD becomes effective May 16, 2016.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 16, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus Model A300 B4-
600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes and Model A300 C4-605R
Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series
airplanes); and Model A310 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on November 21, 2014 (79 FR 69377) (``the NPRM'').
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0176, dated August 25, 2015 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A300
B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R
Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series
airplanes); and Model A310 series airplanes. The MCAI states:
Following publication of FAA SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation
Regulation 88) [<a href="http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library%5CrgFAR.nsf/0/EEFB3F94451DC06286256C93004F5E07?OpenDocument">http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library%5CrgFAR.nsf/0/EEFB3F94451DC06286256C93004F5E07?OpenDocument</a>), EASA issued AD 2006-
0076 (<a href="http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2006-0076">http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2006-0076</a>] requiring inspection
and corrective action to improve the explosion risk protection
system for the left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) wings on A300,
A300-600, A300-600ST and A310 aeroplanes.
For A300-600, A300-600ST and A310 aeroplanes, the required
detailed visual inspections of electrical bundles located in the
leading and trailing edges of the RH and LH wings and a review of
the wing electrical installation on the final assembly line have
shown that the wing electrical installation does not comply with the
minimum distance inspection criteria to the surrounding structure in
a few wing locations.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
damage on the electrical harnesses and on the surrounding structure.
To address this unsafe condition, Airbus developed an
improvement of the wing electrical installation to prevent possible
chafing and subsequent damage to the electrical harnesses and
surrounding structure.
Consequently EASA issued AD 2014-0034 [<a href="http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail">http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail</a>;D=FAA-2014-0775-0002] to
require installation of new bracket assemblies to ensure the
clearance between the wiring and the structure, and installation of
protective split sleeves as mechanical protection to the electrical
harnesses.
Since EASA AD 2014-0034 was issued, during embodiment of Airbus
Service Bulletin (SB) A300-24-6103 Revision 02 on an aeroplane, an
installation problem was identified, which prompted Airbus to revise
SB A300-24-9014 Revision 01, and A300-24-6103 Revision 02.
Service Bulletin Information Transmission (SBIT) 14-0044
Revision 01 dated 06 February 2015 recommended to postpone
embodiment of these two SB's, and to wait for the availability of
Airbus SB A300-24-9014 Revision 02 and A300-24-6103 Revision 03.
For the reasons described above, this [EASA]AD retains the
requirement of the EASA AD 2014-0034, which is superseded, and
requires in addition for the A300-600 and A300-600ST aeroplanes
only, installation of new bracket assemblies in shroud box (LH and
RH side) to ensure adequate clearance between wirings and flap track
carriage (LH and RH side).
Required actions include modifying the electrical routing
installation at the RH and LH wings by installing new bracket
assemblies to ensure adequate clearance between the wiring and the
structure, and installing protective split sleeves as mechanical
protection to the electrical harnesses.
You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail">http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail</a>;D=FAA-2014-0775-0002.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.
Requests To Use the Latest Service Information
FedEx and United Parcel Service (UPS) requested that the NPRM
reference the latest revision of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-6103,
Revision 02, dated February 7, 2013. UPS stated that Airbus released an
operators information transmission in October 2014, which stated that
an operator reported that the installation of the clamps was not
possible. UPS and FedEx stated that a revised version of the service
information should be mandated.
We agree with the commenters' request. Since the NPRM was issued,
we have reviewed Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-6103, Revision 03,
dated July 3, 2015, excluding Appendices 01, 02, 03, and 04, Revision
03, dated July 3, 2015; and Airbus Service Bulletin A310-24-2105,
Revision 02, dated January 5, 2015, excluding Appendix 01, Revision 02,
dated January 5, 2015. Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-6103, Revision
03, dated July 3, 2015, excluding Appendices 01, 02, 03, and 04,
Revision 03, dated July 3, 2015, adds an installation of new bracket
assemblies in the shroud box (LH and RH sides) to the modification.
Airbus Service Bulletin A310-24-2105, Revision 02, dated January 5,
2015, excluding Appendix 01, Revision 02, dated January 5, 2015, only
includes minor changes to the modification. We have updated paragraphs
(g) and (h) of this AD accordingly. Similar to the MCAI, credit is not
given for Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-6103, Revision 02, dated
February 7, 2013.
Request To Revise Costs of Compliance Section
FedEx requested that we revise the Costs of Compliance section of
the NPRM. FedEx stated that the 37 work-hour estimate is consistent
with what is specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-6103,
Revision 02, dated February 7, 2013. However, FedEx stated that Airbus
Service Bulletin A310-24-2105, Revision 01, dated December 11, 2013,
shows an estimate of up to 55.5 work-hours, and does not include
preparation and set up time. Airbus also stated that, from their
experience, the work-hours tend to be understated compared to the
actual time required to accomplish the actions. FedEx commented that it
believes an estimate of 60 work-hours is more realistic. FedEx stated
that it must be noted that 102 FedEx-registered airplanes are listed in
the effectivity section of both service bulletins, and that the overall
cost assessment omits the fact that over half of the total U.S. fleet
cost will be borne by a single operator.
We agree with the commenter's request to revise the estimated costs
of compliance; however, we have used the cost estimate identified in
Airbus Service Bulletin A310-24-2105, Revision 02, dated January 5,
2015, excluding Appendix 01, Revision 02, dated January 5, 2015, which
does include access and close-up work-hours. We have revised the Costs
of Compliance section of this final rule to specify up to 56 work-hours
per product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD.
[[Page 21238]]
Request To Supersede and Revise the Affected ADs Paragraph of the
Proposed AD
FedEx requested that AD 2006-22-07, Amendment 39-14800 (71 FR
62890, October 27, 2006) (``AD 2006-22-07''), be listed as an affected
AD in the proposed AD, and that the NPRM supersede AD 2006-22-07. FedEx
stated that the manufacturer has linked the NPRM to AD 2006-22-07.
FedEx commented that it has complied with the proposed requirements
of the proposed AD, and all but two airplanes were found to be
compliant with the clearance requirements specified in the applicable
service information. FedEx stated that it has contacted the
manufacturer for an approved method of compliance. FedEx stated that
Airbus issued an EASA-approved technical adaptation requiring that the
affected wire bundles be wrapped and a repetitive inspection be
performed until a permanent fix is available. FedEx stated that the
permanent fix is ``Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-6103,'' which was
specified in the NPRM.
FedEx commented that the manufacturer has linked the NPRM to AD
2006-22-07 because Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-6103 will act as
terminating action for the requirements of AD 2006-22-07 and the NPRM.
FedEx also stated that it thinks that all airplanes that comply with AD
2006-22-07 without requiring additional permanent modifications should
be exempt from the NPRM.
We agree that AD 2006-22-07 and this AD are related; however, we
disagree with the commenter's request to supersede AD 2006-22-07 and
include that AD as an affected AD in paragraph (b) of this AD. We also
disagree with the commenter's request to exempt airplanes that comply
with AD 2006-22-07 from this AD.
Prior issues of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-6103 (issued before
Revision 03, dated July 3, 2015) are not acceptable for compliance with
this AD because this AD and AD 2006-22-07 address two different unsafe
conditions and require different corrective actions. AD 2006-22-07 and
prior issues of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-6103 (issued before
Revision 03, dated July 3, 2015) do not address insufficient clearance
of electrical wiring bundles located in the leading and trailing edges
of the RH and LH wings, which is the unsafe condition identified in
this final rule. Additional actions are required in Airbus Service
Bulletin A300-24-6103, Revision 03, dated July 3, 2015, to address the
unsafe conditions identified by this final rule that were not addressed
on airplanes modified using previous issues of Airbus Service Bulletin
A300-24-6103.
Therefore, this final rule will not supersede AD 2006-22-07.
Regardless of the findings or corrective actions accomplished in
accordance with AD 2006-22-07, the service information in this final
rule must still be required. We have not change this final rule in this
regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A300-24-6103, Revision 03, dated
July 3, 2015, excluding Appendices 01, 02, 03, and 04, Revision 03,
dated July 3, 2015; and Service Bulletin A310-24-2105, Revision 02,
dated January 5, 2015, excluding Appendix 01, Revision 02, dated
January 5, 2015. The service information describes procedures for
modifying the electrical routing installation at the RH and LH wings.
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 section.
Explanation of ``RC'' Procedures and Tests in Service Information
The FAA worked in conjunction with industry, under the
Airworthiness Directive Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee
(ARC), to enhance the AD system. One enhancement was a new process for
annotating which procedures and tests in the service information are
required for compliance with an AD. Differentiating these procedures
and tests from other tasks in the service information is expected to
improve an owner's/operator's understanding of crucial AD requirements
and help provide consistent judgment in AD compliance. The procedures
and tests identified as Required for Compliance (RC) in any service
information have a direct effect on detecting, preventing, resolving,
or eliminating an identified unsafe condition.
As specified in a NOTE under the Accomplishment Instructions of the
specified service information, procedures and tests that are identified
as RC in any service information must be done to comply with the AD.
However, procedures and tests that are not identified as RC are
recommended. Those procedures and tests that are not identified as RC
may be deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with the
operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining approval
of an AMOC, provided the procedures and tests identified as RC can be
done and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy condition. Any
substitutions or changes to procedures or tests identified as RC will
require approval of an AMOC.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 199 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 56 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost up to $18,000 per
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on
U.S. operators to be $4,529,240, or $22,760 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
[[Page 21239]]
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.
