SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0122, dated May 29, 2020 (EASA
AD 2020-0122) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain Airbus SAS Model A320-271N, A321-211, and A321-271N
airplanes.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus SAS
Model A320-271N, A321-211, and A321-271N airplanes. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on September 17, 2020 (85 FR 58014). The NPRM
was prompted by reports of missing OHSC X-fixation brackets or brackets
that were incorrectly installed during assembly. The NPRM proposed to
require a special detailed inspection of the OHSC X-fixation brackets
for missing or incorrectly installed brackets, and installation or
replacement if necessary; or modification of each OHSC, as specified in
an EASA AD.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which could
lead to OHSC failure under certain loading conditions, and possibly
result in injury to occupants and impede egress during an emergency
evacuation. See the MCAI for additional background information.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.
Request To Use a Borescope for the Inspection Requirement
Delta Air Lines (DAL) requested that the FAA allow the use of a
borescope as an alternative device to the endoscope for the inspection
of the OHSC X-fixation brackets as specified in paragraph (1) of EASA
AD 2020-0122. DAL stated that Airbus has provided its concurrence in
Airbus Technical Request 80838467/006, dated October 15, 2020.
The FAA agrees that use of a borescope to do this inspection will
provide an adequate level of safety. The FAA has added paragraph (h)(3)
to this AD, which allows for the use of a borescope for the inspection
of the OHSC X-fixation brackets required in this AD.
Request To Disregard the Description of the Bin Assembly in the
Referenced Service Information
DAL requested that the FAA add an exception to paragraph (h) of the
proposed AD to disregard the description of the bin assembly. DAL
commented that where paragraph 3.C.1(b) through 3.C.1(ae) of the
referenced modification service information specified in paragraph (3)
of EASA AD 2020-0122 states to ``replace bin assembly 1F FL EE'' (and
other bin assemblies), the bin assembly description is information only
and does not point to a location on the airplane. DAL commented that
Airbus has provided its concurrence in Airbus Technical Request
80838467/006, dated October 15, 2020.
The FAA agrees that the bin assembly identifier, such as ``1F FL
EE,'' is related to the bin assembly description in the referenced
modification service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0122. The
bin assembly identifiers are provided for information only. The FAA
does not agree with removing these references for the bin assemblies
because they describe the part that correlates with the part number.
Further, the FAA has verified with Airbus that Airbus tech request
80838467/006, dated October 15, 2020, does not recommend removing the
part description. However, the FAA has clarified use of the bin
assembly identifiers in paragraph (h)(4) of this AD.
Request for a One-Time Identification of the OHSC
DAL requested that the FAA clarify that the OHSC housing must be
reidentified only one time although the service information referenced
in paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2021-0122 specifies to reidentify the OHSC
housing at each bin assembly replacement step. DAL stated that Airbus
confirmed in Airbus Technical Request 80838467/006, dated October 15,
2020, that each OHSC housing has more than one bin assembly, so the
reidentification step is needed only one time for the OHSC housing, not
when each bin assembly is replaced.
The FAA agrees with the commenter. The complete OHSC module, which
mainly consists of one housing, one or more bins, the light cover, and
one or more air outlets, has one part number. Only one identification
label is needed for the whole module, and the bins have their own
identification labels with their own part numbers. The FAA has revised
this AD to add paragraph (h)(5) of this AD to clarify that the OHSC
module is a one-time reidentification no matter how many bins have been
modified.
Request To Disregard a Part Number Not Installed on the Airplane
DAL requested that the FAA add an exception to paragraph (h) of the
proposed AD explaining that the part number of the COMPARTMENT ASSY may
be disregarded if it is not installed on the airplane, as long as the
OHSC X-fixation brackets are replaced as specified in paragraph (3) of
EASA AD 2020-0122. DAL stated that the part numbers of the COMPARTMENT
ASSY can be mismatched due to differences in the airplane
applicability; therefore, mismatched part numbers in this step occur
when the COMPARTMENT ASSY in the airplane are removed. DAL stated that
Airbus has provided its concurrence in Airbus Technical Request
80838467/006, dated October 15, 2020.
The FAA disagrees with the commenter's request. An AD may not
require actions on a part or component that is not installed on the
airplane. Any COMPARTMENT ASSY installed after the effective date of
this AD must be in compliance with the requirements of this AD. The
COMPARTMENT ASSY is reidentified using the referenced modification
service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0122. When the
COMPARTMENT ASSY is reidentified, the referenced modification service
information shows the list of the old and new part numbers to address
[[Page 21925]]
the re-identified parts. The FAA has not revised this AD in this
regard.
Request To Include Certain Equivalencies for Certain Tasks
DAL requested that the proposed AD include certain equivalencies
for the Ref. Tasks identified in the referenced inspection service
information specified in EASA AD 2020-0122. DAL stated that the Ref.
Task identified in the referenced inspection service information
specified in EASA AD 2020-0122 specifies that the actions be
accomplished ``in accordance with'' a specific Ref. Task. DAL stated
that Airbus has provided its concurrence in Airbus Technical Request
80838467/006, dated October 15, 2020.
The FAA agrees to revise this AD to include certain equivalencies
for the Ref. Tasks identified in step 3.C.1(c) of the referenced
inspection service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0122. The FAA
has included the Ref. Task equivalencies in paragraphs (h)(6)(i)
through (xvi) of this AD.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule with the changes described previously
and minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor
changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2020-0122 specifies procedures for a special detailed
inspection of the OHSC X-fixation brackets for missing or incorrectly
installed brackets, and corrective actions (installation or replacement
OHSC X-fixation brackets) if necessary; or modification of each OHSC by
installing new X-fixation brackets and reidentifying the OHSC housing.
This material 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
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 31 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 29 work-hours x $85 per hour = Up $0 Up to $2,465.............. Up to $76,415.
to $2,465.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Costs for Optional Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 36 work-hours x $85 per Up to $539,060.... Up to $542,120.
hour = Up to $3,060.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition action that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need this on-condition action:
Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per
Labor cost Parts cost product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 29 work-hours x $85 per hour = * $ * $
Up to $2,465.........................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable us to
provide parts cost estimates for the on-condition action specified in
this AD.
According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected operators. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected operators. As a result, the FAA has included all known costs
in our cost estimate.
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.
The FAA is 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
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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
[[Page 21926]]
(3) 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.

(i) No Reporting Requirement
Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2020-0122
specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD
does not include that requirement.
(j) Other FAA AD Provisions
The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Large Aircraft Section, International Validation 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 responsible Flight
Standards Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to
the Large Aircraft Section, International Validation Branch, send it
to the attention of the person identified in paragraph (k) of this
AD. Information may be emailed to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7f46523e292c523e362d52484c4f523e32303c3f191e1e51181009"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="93aabed2c5c0bed2dac1bea4a0a3bed2dedcd0d3f5f2f2bdf4fce5">[email protected]</span></a>.
Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal
inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the
responsible Flight Standards Office.
(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, Large Aircraft
Section, International Validation Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus
SAS's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the
DOA, the approval must include the DOA-authorized signature.
(3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except as required by
paragraph (j)(2) of this AD, 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 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
require approval of an AMOC.
