Abstract
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-26-05 and AD 2019-21-02, which apply to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes. AD 2016- 26-05 and AD 2019-21-02 require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2016-26- 05 and AD 2019-21-02, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary, and new airplanes have been added to the applicability. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2019-21-02 and require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2016-26-05 and AD 2019-21-02, which apply to certain Airbus SAS Model
A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes. AD 2016-
26-05 and AD 2019-21-02 require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2016-26-
05 and AD 2019-21-02, the FAA has determined that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary, and new airplanes
have been added to the applicability. This proposed AD would continue
to require the actions in AD 2019-21-02 and require revising the
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate additional new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 5,
2022.

Background
The FAA issued AD 2019-21-02, Amendment 39-19768 (84 FR 57313,
October 25, 2019) (AD 2019-21-02), which applies to certain Airbus SAS
Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes. AD
2019-21-02 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2019-21-02 to address a
safety-significant latent failure (that is not annunciated) that, in
combination with one or more other specific failures or events, could
result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition. AD 2019-21-02
specifies that accomplishing the revision required by that AD
terminates all requirements of 2016-26-05, Amendment 39-18763 (82 FR
1170, January 5, 2017) (AD 2016-26-05).
Actions Since AD 2019-21-02 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2019-21-02, the FAA has determined that new
or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary.
EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0248, dated November 15, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0248) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model Airbus A330-201, A330-202,
A330-203, A330-223, A330-223F, A330-243, A330-243F, A330-301, A330-302,
A330-303, A330-321, A330-322, A330-323, A330-341, A330-342, A330-343,
A330-841, and A330-941 airplanes.
Airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original
export certificate of airworthiness issued after July 1, 2021, must
comply with the airworthiness limitations specified as part of the
approved type design and referenced on the type certificate data sheet;
this proposed AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the
applicability.
This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary, and that EASA AD
2021-0248 has added Airbus SAS Model A330-841 and A330-941 airplanes to
the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address a safety-
significant latent failure (that is not annunciated) that, in
combination with one or more other specific failures or events, could
result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition. See the MCAI
for additional background information.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2021-0248 describes new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits, and adds new
models to the applicability.
This proposed AD would also require Airbus A330 Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS) Part 3-Certification Maintenance Requirements
(CMR), Revision 06, dated October 15, 2018; and Airbus A330 ALS Part 3-
Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR), Variation 6.1, dated June
28, 2019; which the Director of the Federal Register approved for
incorporation by reference as of November 29, 2019 (84 FR 57313,
October 25, 2019).
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.
FAA's Determination
These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after
determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to
exist or develop in other products of these same type designs.
Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM
This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2019-21-02.
This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations, which are specified in EASA AD
2021-0248 described previously, as proposed for incorporation by
reference. Any differences with EASA AD 2021-0248 are identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD.
This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) according to
paragraph (l)(1) of this proposed AD.
Explanation of Required Compliance Information
In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2021-0248 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2021-0248 in its entirety through that incorporation, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading
of a particular section in EASA AD 2021-0248 does not mean that
operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2021-
0248. Service information required by EASA AD 2021-0248 for compliance
will be available at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2022-0586 after the FAA final rule is
published.
Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process
The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged.
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
[[Page 30842]]
The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions and intervals
are approved as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in
the AMOCs paragraph under ``Additional FAA AD Provisions.'' This new
format includes a ``New Provisions for Alternative Actions and
Intervals'' paragraph that does not specifically refer to AMOCs, but
operators may still request an AMOC to use an alternative action or
interval.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 138 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2019-21-02 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate.
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed
actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
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
The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

program required by this paragraph terminates the requirements of
paragraph (g) of this AD.
(j) Exceptions to EASA AD 2021-0248
(1) Where EASA AD 2021-0248 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) The requirements specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of EASA
AD 2021-0248 do not apply to this AD.
(3) Paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2021-0248 specifies revising ``the
approved AMP'' within 12 months after its effective date, but this
AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, within 90 days after the effective date of this AD.
(4) The initial compliance time for doing the tasks specified in
paragraph (3) of EASA 2021-0248 is at the applicable ``associated
