PRODUCT: All Airbus Model A318 and A319 series airplanes; Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and - 233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-22-08, which applied to the aircraft listed above.

AD 2014-22-08 required revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new or revised airworthiness limitation requirements.

This new AD requires revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new or revised airworthiness limitation requirements, and removes airplanes from the applicability.

This AD was prompted by a determination that more restrictive maintenance instructions and airworthiness limitations are necessary.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1,032 airplanes of U.S. registry. The actions required by AD 2014-22-08, and retained in this AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are required by AD 2014-22-08 is $85 per product.

DATES: This AD is effective January 16, 2018
