We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2004-20- 14, for all Airbus Model A300 B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 airplanes; and all Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes. AD 2004- 20-14 requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking of the splice fitting at fuselage frame (FR) 47 between stringers 24 and 26 (left- and right-hand sides), and corrective actions if necessary. Since we issued AD 2004-20-14, we have determined that the inspection compliance time and repetitive inspection interval must be reduced to allow timely detection of cracks in the splice fitting at fuselage FR 47. This proposed AD would reduce the inspection compliance time and repetitive inspection intervals, and add Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes to the applicability. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the splice fitting at fuselage FR 47, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2004-20-
14, for all Airbus Model A300 B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 airplanes; and 
all Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes. AD 2004-
20-14 requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking of the splice 
fitting at fuselage frame (FR) 47 between stringers 24 and 26 (left- 
and right-hand sides), and corrective actions if necessary. Since we 
issued AD 2004-20-14, we have determined that the inspection compliance 
time and repetitive inspection interval must be reduced to allow timely 
detection of cracks in the splice fitting at fuselage FR 47. This 
proposed AD would reduce the inspection compliance time and repetitive 
inspection intervals, and add Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes to 
the applicability. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct 
cracking of the splice fitting at fuselage FR 47, which could result in 
reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Discussion

    On September 30, 2004, we issued AD 2004-20-14, Amendment 39-13819 
(69 FR 60809, October 13, 2004), which superseded AD 2001-03-14, 
Amendment 39-12118 (66 FR 10957, February 21, 2001). AD 2004-20-14 
requires actions intended to address an unsafe condition on all Airbus 
Model A300 B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 airplanes; and all Model A300 B4-
600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes. Since we issued AD 2004-20-
14, Amendment 39-13819 (69 FR 60809, October 13, 2004), we have 
determined that the inspection compliance time and repetitive 
inspection interval must be reduced to allow timely detection of cracks 
in the splice fitting at fuselage FR 47, and that Model A300 C4-605R 
Variant F airplanes must be added to the applicability.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA 
Airworthiness Directive 2013-0184R1, dated August 22, 2013 (referred to 
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or 
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified 
products. The MCAI states:

    In order to prevent crack development in the fastener holes at 
Frame (FR) 47 splicing joint on A300 aeroplanes, Airbus developed 
modification (Mod) 5890 for aeroplanes in production and issued 
corresponding Service Bulletin (SB) A300-53-0199 for aeroplanes in 
service.
    Subsequently, cracks were found on FR47 splice fitting between 
stringers (STRG) 24 and 26 on A300 aeroplanes previously modified by 
SB A300-53-0199.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could reduce the 
structural integrity of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, DGAC [Direction 
G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation Civile] France issued AD 2002-
184 http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/2002184tb_superseded.pdf/AD_F-2002-184_2 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2004-20-14, Amendment 39-
13819 (69 FR 60809, October 13, 2004)], superseding [DGAC France] AD 
85-152-069 and [DGAC France] AD 1999-515-298 [which corresponds to 
FAA AD 2001-03-14, Amendment 39-12118 (66 FR 10957, February 21, 
2001)], to require repetitive High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) 
rotating probe inspections of the splice fitting between STRG 24 and 
26 and,

[[Page 27608]]

depending on findings, corrective action(s). DGAC France AD 2002-
184(B) expanded the applicability to A300-600 aeroplanes, which have 
the same design.
    Since that [DGAC France] AD was issued, a fleet survey and 
updated Fatigue and Damage Tolerance analyses have been performed in 
order to substantiate the second A300-600 Extended Service Goal 
(ESG2) exercise. The results of these analyses have determined that 
the inspection threshold and intervals for A300-600 aeroplanes must 
be reduced to allow timely detection of these cracks and the 
accomplishment of an applicable corrective action.
    For the reasons described above, [EASA] AD 2013-0184 retains the 
requirements of DGAC France AD 2002-184, which is superseded, but 
requires accomplishment of the actions for A300-600 aeroplanes 
within the new thresholds and intervals introduced with Revision 05 
of Airbus SB [service bulletin] A300-53-6123 [dated August 1, 2011] 
.
    This [EASA] AD was revised to correct the splices Part Numbers 
(P/N) in Table 4 of Appendix 1 of this [EASA] AD. Also, reference is 
now made to Airbus SB A300-53-6123 Revision 06 [dated September 28, 
2011], which corrected this mistake compared to Revision 05.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating it in Docket No. 
FAA-2015-1417.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued the following service bulletins:
     Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-6123, Revision 06, 
including Inspection Report, dated September 28, 2011. This service 
bulletin describes procedures for inspection for cracking of the splice 
fitting at fuselage FR 47 between stringers 24 and 26, and corrective 
actions.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-0350, Revision 03, 
including Appendix 03, dated July 26, 2007. This service bulletin 
describes procedures for inspection to detect cracking of the splice 
fitting at fuselage FR 47 between stringers 24 and 26, and corrective 
actions.
    The actions described in this service information are intended to 
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI. 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 of this NPRM.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another 
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant 
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have 
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service 
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we 
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition 
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same 
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 72 airplanes of U.S. 
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take up to 14 work-hours per product 
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average 
labor rate is $85 per work hour. Based on these figures, we estimate 
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $85,680, or $1,190 
per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would 
take up to 204 work-hours and require parts costing up to $37,000, for 
a cost of up to $54,340 per product. We have no way of determining the 
number of aircraft that might 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 proposed AD would not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed 
regulation:
    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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.
