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 certain Airbus Model A330-
200, -200 Freighter, and -300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200 and
-300 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
November 2, 2015 (80 FR 67348) (``the NPRM''). We are issuing this AD
to detect and correct cracking on certain holes of certain frames of
the CWB, which could affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0149, dated June 13, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model
A330-200, -200 Freighter, and -300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200
and -300 series airplanes. The MCAI states:
During accomplishment of A330 Airworthiness Limitation Item
(ALI) task 57-11-04 on the rear fitting of the Frame (FR) 40 between
stringers 38 and 39 on both [left-hand] LH/[right-hand] RH sides,
cracks were found on an adjacent hole. After reaming at second
oversize of the subject hole, the crack was still present.
Other crack findings on this adjacent hole have been reported on
A330 and A340-200/300 aeroplanes as a result of sampling
inspections.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could affect the
structural integrity of the aeroplane.
For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires removal
of the fasteners and repetitive rototest inspections of fastener
holes at FR40 vertical web located above Center Wing Box (CWB) lower
panel reference and/or below CWB lower panel reference on both sides
and, depending on findings, accomplishment of the applicable
corrective actions.
Note: These holes affected by this [EASA] AD are different from
the ones affected by EASA AD 2009-0001 [<a href="http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2009_0001.pdf/AD_2009-0001_1">http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2009_0001.pdf/AD_2009-0001_1</a>].
Required actions also include oversizing certain holes, installing
new fasteners, and repairing any cracking that is found. The initial
compliance times range from 13,500 to 30,900 flight cycles, or 57,000
to 162,000 flight hours, depending on airplane operation and
utilization. The repetitive compliance times are 7,400 flight cycles/
24,300 flight hours or 5,950 flight cycles/40,400 flight hours from ALI
embodiment. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet
at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a> by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2015-4808.
Change Made to the Format of Paragraph (g) of This AD
At the request of the Office of the Federal Register, we have
revised the format of paragraph (g) of this AD by converting the table
to text. This change to the format does not affect the requirements of
that paragraph.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received. The commenter, Bowen Gass,
supported the NPRM.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed except for 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.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
Airbus has issued the following service information. The service
information describes procedures for removing the fasteners and doing a
repetitive rototest inspection of fastener holes at FR40 vertical web
on both sides, installing new fasteners in transition fit, and
oversizing the holes.
<bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A330-57-3114, dated March 12,
2013.
<bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A330-57-3115, dated April 4, 2013.

<bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A330-57-3116, dated March 12,
2013.
<bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A340-57-4123, dated March 12,
2013.
<bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A340-57-4124, Revision 01, dated
August 22, 2013.
<bullet> Airbus Service Bulletin A340-57-4125, dated March 12,
2013.
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.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 35 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 78 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $0 per
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on
U.S. operators to be $232,050, per inspection cycle, or $6,630 per
product, per inspection cycle.
In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 98 work-hours and require parts costing $136,400, for a cost
of up to $144,730 per product. We have no way of determining the number
of aircraft that might need this action.
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.
