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 A318, 
A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes; all Model A330-200 Freighter, -
200, and -300 series airplanes; and all Model A340-200, -300, -500, and 
-600 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on 
November 30, 2017 (82 FR 56749) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted 
by reports of false TCAS resolution advisories. The NPRM proposed to 
require modifying the software in the TCAS computer processor or 
replacing the TCAS computer with a new TCAS computer. We are issuing 
this AD to prevent false TCAS resolution advisories. False TCAS 
resolution advisories could lead to a loss of separation with other 
airplanes, possibly resulting in a mid-air collision.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2017-0091R2, dated June 2, 2017 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model 
A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes; all Model A330-200 
Freighter, -200, and -300 series airplanes; and all Model A340-200, -
300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Since 2012, a number of false TCAS [traffic collision avoidance 
system] resolution advisories (RA) have been reported by various 
European Air Navigation Service Providers. EASA has published 
certification guidance material for collision avoidance systems (AMC 
20-15) which defines a false TCAS RA as an RA that is issued, but 
the RA condition does not exist. It is possible that more false (or 
spurious) RA events have occurred, but were not recorded or 
reported. The known events were mainly occurring on Airbus single-
aisle (A320 family) aeroplanes, although several events have also 
occurred on Airbus A330 aeroplanes. Investigation determined that 
the false RAs are caused on aeroplanes with a certain Honeywell TPA-
100B TCAS processor, P/N [part number] 940-0351-001, installed, 
through a combination of three factors: (1) Hybrid surveillance 
enabled; (2) processor connected to a hybrid GPS source, without a 
direct connection to a GPS source; and (3) an encounter with an 
intruder aeroplane with noisy (jumping) ADS-B Out position.
    EASA previously published Safety Information Bulletin (SIB) 
2014-33 to inform owners and operators of affected aeroplanes about 
this safety concern. At that time, the false RAs were not considered 
an unsafe condition. Since the SIB was issued, further events have 
been reported, involving a third aeroplane.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to a loss of 
separation with other aeroplanes, possibly resulting in a mid-air 
collision.
    Prompted by these latest findings, and after review of the 
available information, EASA reassessed the severity and rate of 
occurrence of false RAs and has decided that mandatory action must 
be taken to reduce the rate of occurrence, and the risk of loss of 
separation with other aeroplanes.
    Honeywell International Inc. published Service Bulletin (SB) 
940-0351-34-0005 [Publication Number D201611000002] to provide 
instructions for an upgrade of TPA-100B processors P/N 940-0351-001 
to P/N 940-0351-005, introducing software version 05/01.
    Consequently, Airbus developed certain modifications (mod 159658 
and mod 206608) and published SB A32034-1656, SB A320-34-1657, SB 
A330-34-3342, SB A340-34-4304 and SB A340-34-5118, to provide 
instructions for in-service introduction of the software update 
(including change to P/N 940-0351-005) on the affected aeroplanes, 
or to replace the TCAS processor with a P/N 940-0351-005 unit.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD 2017-0091, to require modification 
or replacement of Honeywell TPA-100B TCAS P/N 940-0351-001 
processors, hereafter referred to as `affected processor' in this 
[EASA] AD. That [EASA] AD also prohibits installation of an affected 
processor on post-mod aeroplanes.
    After that [EASA] AD was issued, it was found that an error had 
been introduced, inadvertently restricting the required action to 
those aeroplanes that had the affected part installed on the Airbus 
production line, thereby excluding those that had the part installed 
in-service by Airbus SB. Consequently, EASA revised AD 2017-0091 to 
amend Note 1 and include references to the relevant Airbus SBs that 
introduced the affected processor in service.
    Since EASA AD 2017-0091R1 was issued, prompted by operator 
feedback and to avoid confusion, it was decided to exclude 
aeroplanes that had an affected processor installed by STC, for 
which EASA AD No.: 2017-0091R2 separate [EASA] AD action is planned. 
It was also determined that the prohibition to install an affected 
processor was too strict, particularly for Group 2 aeroplanes.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD is revised to 
reduce the Applicability, introduce some minor editorial changes and 
to amend paragraph (3).

    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-2017-
1096.

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.

Supportive Comment

    The Air Line Pilots Association, International supported the NPRM.

Request To Refer to Revised Service Information

    Airbus requested that the NPRM be updated to reference the current 
revision level of certain service information. Airbus noted that four 
of the service bulletins referred to in the NPRM were revised.
    We agree with the commenter's request. We have updated the preamble 
and paragraph (i) of this AD to refer to the revised service 
information. Because the revised service information does not include 
any additional actions, we have added paragraph (l) to this AD to 
provide credit for actions accomplished prior to the effective date of 
this AD using the applicable Airbus service bulletin identified in 
paragraphs (l)(1)

[[Page 12854]]

through (l)(4) of this AD. We have redesignated subsequent paragraphs 
accordingly.

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.

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the 
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by 
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is 
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but 
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the 
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes to 
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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.

(m) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, 
International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA, has the 
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, 
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight 
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information 
directly to the International Section, send it to the attention of 
the person identified in paragraph (n)(2) of this AD. Information 
may be emailed to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#ebd2c6aaa5a6c6dadaddc6aaa6a4a8c6b9aebabeaeb8bfb8ab8d8a8ac58c849d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f1c8dcb0bfbcdcc0c0c7dcb0bcbeb2dca3b4a0a4b4a2a5a2b1979090df969e87">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. Before using any 
approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal inspector, or 
lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the local flight 
standards district office/certificate holding district office.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD 
to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer, the action must be 
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International 
Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or the European Aviation 
Safety Agency (EASA); or Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval 
(DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval must include the DOA-
authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): If any service information 
contains procedures or tests that are identified as RC, those 
procedures and tests must be done to comply with this AD; any 
procedures or 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
