DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2017-D-2165]

Oncology Pharmaceuticals: Reproductive Toxicity Testing and
Labeling Recommendations; Draft Guidance for Industry; Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing
the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Oncology
Pharmaceuticals: Reproductive Toxicity Testing and Labeling
Recommendations.'' The purpose of this guidance is to assist sponsors
in reproductive toxicity assessments (mainly of embryo-fetal
development) for oncology pharmaceuticals and to provide
recommendations for product labeling on duration of contraception
following cessation of therapy to minimize potential risk to a
developing embryo/fetus. The guidance also clarifies FDA's current
thinking on when nonclinical studies for reproductive toxicology
assessment may not be needed (e.g., for pharmaceuticals intended for
use in postmenopausal women only). The intended outcome of this
guidance is to provide for more consistent labeling for oncology
pharmaceuticals and to reduce the conduct of nonclinical studies that
are not informative on product use.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Oncology Pharmaceuticals: Reproductive Toxicity Testing and
Labeling Recommendations.'' This guidance presents FDA's current
approach to assessing potential risks to embryo-fetal development
associated with oncology pharmaceutical use in male and female
patients. The term pharmaceutical in this guidance refers to small
molecules, therapeutic proteins, antibodies, and related products such
as conjugated products. The guidance describes when embryo-fetal
developmental studies for oncology pharmaceuticals may be warranted for
different types of pharmaceuticals, such as cytotoxic, biological, and
conjugated pharmaceuticals, or pharmaceuticals used in combinations.
The guidance also discusses other aspects of a nonclinical reproductive
toxicity evaluation, such as fertility and pre- and postnatal
evaluation. The guidance addresses the need for a reproductive toxicity
evaluation when pharmaceuticals are used in specific populations (e.g.,
pediatric, males-only, or postmenopausal women).
    Although current regulatory guidances exist regarding the need to
assess the embryo-fetal developmental toxicity potential of
pharmaceuticals and the overall design of the studies, this guidance
provides additional recommendations on specific types of products and
for specific populations, which are not covered under other guidances.
In addition, this guidance provides recommendations on the use of
contraception and the duration of its use to minimize the potential
risks associated with the use of oncology pharmaceuticals.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on reproductive
toxicity testing and labeling recommendations for oncology
pharmaceuticals. It does not establish any rights for any person and is
not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach
if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and
regulations. This is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 12866.

II. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR parts 312 and 314 have
been approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0014 and 0910-0001,
respectively. The collections of information in 21 CFR 201.56, 201.57,
and the final rule ``Content and Format of Labeling for Human
Prescription Drug and Biological Products; Requirements for Pregnancy
and Lactation Labeling'' have been approved under OMB control numbers
0910-0572 and 0910-0624.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the Internet may obtain the draft guidance
at either https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm or

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9920-65-OA]

Notification of a Closed Teleconference of the Chartered Science
Advisory Board

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA), Science Advisory
Board (SAB) Staff Office is announcing a teleconference of the
Chartered SAB to conduct a review of two draft reports of
recommendations regarding the agency's 2013 and 2014 Scientific and
Technological Achievement Awards (STAA). The Chartered SAB
teleconference will be closed to the public.

DATES: The Chartered SAB teleconference date is Monday, January 26,
2015, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Time).

ADDRESSES: The Chartered SAB closed teleconference will take place via
telephone only. General information about the SAB may be found on the
SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Members of the public who wish to
obtain further information regarding this announcement may contact
Angela Nugent, Designated Federal Officer, by telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>
or email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, and section (c)(6) of
the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), the EPA has
determined that the chartered SAB quality review teleconference will be
closed to the public. The purpose of the teleconference is for the
chartered SAB to conduct a review of two draft reports of
recommendations regarding the agency's 2013 and 2014 STAA. The
Chartered SAB teleconference will be closed to the public.
    Quality review is a key function of the chartered SAB. Draft
reports prepared by SAB committees, panels, or work groups must be
reviewed and approved by the chartered SAB before transmittal to the
EPA Administrator. The chartered SAB makes a determination in a meeting
consistent with FACA about all draft reports and determines whether the
report is ready to be transmitted to the EPA Administrator.
    At the teleconference, the chartered SAB will conduct reviews for
two draft reports developed by an SAB committee charged with developing
recommendations regarding the agency's STAA. The first draft report
focuses on review of additional agency recommendations for the 2013
awards. Although the chartered SAB reviewed the agency's 2013 STAA
nominations and provided advice regarding those nominations in January
2014 (for more information, see http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/2013%20STAA%20Review?OpenDocument),
the agency later identified additional nominations for SAB review. The
second draft report focuses on the agency's 2014 STAA nominations (for
more information, see http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/2014%20STAA%20Review?OpenDocument).
    The STAA awards are established to honor and recognize EPA
employees who have made outstanding contributions in the advancement of
science and technology through their research and development
activities, as exhibited in publication of their results in peer
reviewed journals. I have determined that the Chartered SAB quality
review teleconference will be closed to the public because it is
concerned with recommending employees deserving of awards. In making
these draft recommendations, the EPA requires full and frank advice
from the SAB. This advice will involve professional judgments on the
relative

merits of various employees and their respective work. Such personnel
matters involve the discussion of information that is of a personal
nature, the disclosure of which would be a clearly unwarranted invasion
of personal privacy and, therefore, is protected from disclosure by
section (c)(6) of the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(6). Minutes of the Chartered SAB teleconference will be
certified by the chair and retained in the public record.

    Dated: December 11, 2014.
Gina McCarthy,
Administrator.

1 " DOE/ NETL's Mercury Control Technology Research Program for Coal Fired Power Plants," Feeley, et al, EM Magazine, October 2003.

 1 Memorandum From: L. D. Carter Director, Office of Planning and Environmental Analysis Coal & Power Systems, DOE/ FE 26 To: Bill Maxwell, USEPA Subject: Mercury Control Technologies Date: January 8, 2004 Introduction This memo presents DOE's views regarding the status of technologies for control of mercury emissions from coal fired power plants. DOE, in partnership with the private sector, has funded a multiyear research and development program which is beginning to produce some very promising technologies.

An excellent review of our mercury control technology R& D program was published in October's EM Magazine1, the Air and Waste Management Association's magazine for environmental managers. I am including a copy of that article as Attachment 1, and will provide a brief overview below. I am also including, as Attachment 2, a tabular summary of the mercury control technology research projects which were being funded under DOE's appropriations, as of Summer 2003. Additionally, I am attaching material describing longer term field tests of mercury control technologies in projects initiated last Fall, and providing descriptions of our first two full scale demonstration projects involving mercury emissions control. You will see that there is a broad range of technologies under consideration, consistent with our view that we need a portfolio approach to effectively implement major reductions in mercury emissions from coalfired power plants. Finally, this memo will explain the temporal relationships between research and development projects, technology demonstration projects, and commercial deployment of new technologies.

Mercury Control Technologies DOE's mercury R& D program recognizes that conventional air pollution control technologies control about one third of the potential mercury emissions from coal fired power plants. EPA has published an excellent report that describes these technologies 2 See Control of Mercury Emissions from Coal fired Electric Utility Boilers: Interim Report, EPA 600/ R 01 109, April 2002.

 2 and their effectiveness in reducing mercury emissions. 2 These existing technologies are commercially deployed today, but generally show inconsistent levels of mercury control from plant to plant. The DOE R& D program focuses on ways to make these existing technologies more effective and more consistent at controlling mercury, and on altogether new approaches for mercury control.

There are two overarching goals for the DOE R& D program:

To develop control technologies capable of 50 70% mercury capture for commercial demonstration at bituminous coal fired power plants by 2005, and at lower rank coal fired power plants by 2007; and

To develop lower cost control technologies capable of 90% mercury capture for commercial demonstration by 2010.

The R& D program takes technologies from a conceptual level through bench scale and pilot scale proof of concept. For the more promising technologies, defined in terms of performance and cost, full scale field tests are conducted to generate the information necessary for a multi year demonstration project. In addition to funding for the mercury R& D program, DOE is also provided funds by Congress to conduct such full scale technology demonstrations under the Clean Coal Power Initiative.

Several categories of technologies are now under development at DOE. These include sorbent injection technologies, technologies that enhance the mercury capture of traditional pollutant controls, such as SO2 " scrubbers" and electrostatic precipitators ( ESP's), multi pollutant control technologies, and novel concepts.

Sorbent Injection Technologies DOE has supported sorbent injection projects at the bench, pilot, and commercialscale This type of technology has the greatest promise for taking mercury control beyond the performance of conventional ( non mercury) technologies in the near term. During short term tests ( one to three weeks), these technologies have achieved reductions as high as 90% of inlet mercury levels on bituminous coals. Performance on subbituminous coal has been as high as 65% reduction. In addition, systems with supplemental fabric filters have been more effective than those with ESP's. Although full scale sorbent injection tests have focused on activated carbon injection, DOE is also sponsoring pilot scale research on lower cost sorbents. DOE is now engaged in longer term studies of sorbent injection technologies in order to gain the information needed to conduct multi year commercial demonstrations of this technology. Given the differences in the effectiveness of this technology on coals of different rank and  3 chlorine content, it is likely that several demonstration projects will be necessary to establish predictable cost and performance for this type of mercury control.

Enhanced Conventional Technologies Air pollution systems designed to capture sulfur dioxide ( SO2) and particulate matter ( PM) generally capture some mercury as well. DOE is investigating methods to enhance the performance of such systems on mercury capture. In general, these systems seek to increase the oxidized fraction of mercury present in the power plant's flue gas, and decrease the fraction of elemental mercury, which is more difficult to capture. DOE has had mixed results from injecting chemicals to enhance the mercury removal by wet scrubbers designed for SO2 capture. This research is continuing.

URS Corporation is working with DOE to develop catalytic approaches to oxidizing elemental mercury in flue gases. This program began in 2001 and will continue through 2004.

Multi pollutant Capture Technologies Multi pollutant approaches have potential synergies which could increase pollution reduction and lower control costs. Work with the Electro catalytic oxidation process under development by Powerspan Corporation was initiated in 2001 and will continue through 2004. Early pilot scale results have been encouraging, but the inlet mercury for these tests was much lower in elemental mercury than levels expected at many commercial sites. Additional elemental mercury is being added to the test system to simulate removal at other sites.

Calcium based sorbents and oxidizing agents are being evaluated under a cooperative agreement between DOE and the Southern Research Institute. These systems could remove both SO2 and mercury. Oxidizing agents could be helpful particularly with lower rank coals.

Novel Approaches to Mercury Control It has long been observed that poorly tuned coal burners generate higher levels of unburned carbon in coal ash than properly tuned burners. This unburned carbon, although undesirable from an efficiency perspective, can function like activated carbon injection and adsorb mercury emissions. DOE has patented a process to take advantage of this phenomenon by extracting partially combusted coal from the furnace, and reinjecting it in the flue gas after the air preheater. Pilot scale tests have been very promising.

DOE is also investigating the ability of a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light to 3 See http:// www. fe. doe. gov/ news/ techlines/ 03/ tl_ ccpi_ 2003sel. html .

 4 oxidize elemental mercury to a form more easily captured by conventional air pollution control equipment.

Longer term field tests In contrast to most of DOE's short term mercury R& D projects, in September 2003, DOE initiated a series of eight longer term, large scale field tests that will investigate the potential for improvements and more wide spread applicability of mercury control using one or more of the approaches outlined above. The actual testing varies by project, but generally will begin in early 2004 and last for several months. Technologies to be evaluated include both sorbent based approaches, like activated carbon injection, as well as oxidation based approaches intended to improve mercury collection by more traditional air pollution control technologies. Attachment 3, " Phase II Field Testing of Advanced Mercury Control Technologies", provides more detail on these longer term tests.

Initial Mercury Demonstration Projects As discussed above, the DOE R& D program is complemented by a demonstration program within the Clean Coal Power Initiative. In January 2003, DOE announced the first awards under this program3, including the following two projects that would demonstrate mercury reduction technologies:

Wisconsin Electric Power Company's Presque Isle plant will evaluate the TOXECON process combined with chemical additives as an integrated mercury, particulate matter, SO2, and NOx emissions control system. In this project, sorbents, including powdered activated carbon for mercury control and chemicals for NOx and SOx control, will be injected into flue gas for subsequent reaction with pollutants and collection in a pulse jet baghouse that is installed downstream of the existing particulate control device. The TOXECON configuration allows for separate treatment or disposal of the ash collected in the primary particulate control device. The duration of the project is estimated to be 5 years, and its overall cost is $ 75 million.

The City of Colorado Springs is teaming with Foster Wheeler to demonstrate an advanced circulating fluidized bed combustor, with integrated pollution controls expected to reduce mercury emissions by over 90%. This 6 year project carries a total cost of just over $ 300 million.

These projects evidence the commitment of project participants, including DOE, to invest the resources needed to bring promising mercury control concepts to commercial readiness. We believe the nature of the mercury control challenge is so complex that a  5 number of additional demonstration projects will be needed, but we are confident that resources will be made available to pursue those projects and solutions will be developed that have broad application.

The Timing of Technology Development and Commercialization The normal flow of development of new technologies is R& D at the bench scale and pilot scale ( typically 2 4 years), followed by large scale testing ( typically one year under a range of operating conditions and technology configurations at a facility), followed by one or more cycles of commercial demonstrations ( typically 6 years each).

In implementing the Clean Coal Technology Program, DOE has gained extensive experience with the process of demonstrating emerging air pollution control technologies. Table 1 shows the time required for a dozen SO2 and NOx retrofit technology demonstrations. The typical project required a little over 6 years from selection of the project to reports on its technical performance. This time period excludes the administrative time needed to solicit and evaluate proposals. In addition, the actual project duration was truncated for one half of these projects to exclude unusually lengthy reporting periods following completion of the technology testing period.

Although DOE is continuing to pursue some mercury control technologies at the bench and pilot scale, much work has been completed at this small scale. Some technologies, like sorbent injection, have entered the large scale field testing stage, and we have initiated a commercial demonstration project for sorbent injection technology. It appears that these technologies, with at least 50 70% mercury reduction, will be ready for broader commercial demonstration on bituminous coal in 2005, and on subbituminous coal and lignite in 2007. If these demonstrations are successful, commercial deployment could occur on a large scale after 2011 and 2013. Assuming two years to permit and construct such commercial units, large scale operation of the technology is feasible by 2013 and 2015. It is important to note that reliable and predictable performance will be achieved only if such demonstration projects can be completed on a range of coal types with a range of characteristics ( such as mercury, chlorine, and sulfur content), and at plants with a range of hardware ( ESP's of varying relative sizes; spray dryers on coals with low chlorine content). Additional technologies, perhaps much lower in costs, should follow in 2 4 additional years.

Greater mercury reduction performance is part of DOE's mercury control technology development program. A second wave of technologies operating at 90% reduction should be ready for commercial demonstration by 2010, leading to effective reductions after 2018.  6 An important caveat to these time projections is that they could be extended if the same units being retrofit for mercury emissions must contemporaneously focus on installing separate pollution control systems for other pollutants. The significance of this potential problem will vary with the type of control technologies being installed.

Conclusions Substantial progress in mercury control technology development has been achieved through a partnership between government and industry. A broad portfolio of technologies is beginning to emerge. These technologies will probably be able to provide 50 70% reduction of mercury in the period after 2015, with up to 90% reduction on many applications after 2018.  7

[Project No. 12588-000]

Hydraco Power, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment

April 18, 2006.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the application for exemption from licensing for the A.H.
Smith Dam Project. Staff prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for
the project, which is located on the San Marcos River near the town of
Martindale, Caldwell County, Texas. In the EA, Commission staff
analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the project and
concluded that exempting the project from licensing, with appropriate
environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

Amendment 39-15344; AD 2008-02-14]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-400, -400D, and -400F
Series Airplanes; Boeing Model 757 Airplanes; and Boeing Model 767
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Boeing airplanes listed above. This AD requires an inspection
of certain lighted pushbutton switches in the flight compartment for
configuration `D' master modules and part numbers and corrective action
if necessary. This AD also provides an option to inspect panel
assemblies for part numbers. This AD results from a report indicating
that the integrated drive generator failed in flight due to a possible
switch malfunction. We are issuing this AD to ensure that certain
lighted pushbutton switches in the flight compartment do not
malfunction and cause the flightcrew to be unable to control critical
airplane systems and continue safe airplane operation.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 28, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of February 28,
2008.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact
Boeing Commercial Airplanes, P.O. Box 3707, Seattle, Washington 98124-
2207.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to certain Boeing Model
747-400, -400D, and -400F series airplanes; Boeing Model 757 airplanes;
and Boeing Model 767 airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on August 16, 2007 (72 FR 45986). That NPRM proposed to
require an inspection of certain lighted pushbutton switches in the
flight compartment for configuration `D' master modules and part
numbers and corrective action if necessary. That NPRM also provided an
option to inspect panel assemblies for part numbers.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comments received.

Support for the NPRM

    Boeing, the airplane manufacturer, concurs with the content of the
NPRM.

Request To Remove Reference to Revision 1 of the Service Bulletins

    Japan Airlines requests that we remove the reference in the NPRM to
Boeing Alert Service Bulletins 747-33A2280 and 767-33A0087, both
Revision 1, both dated September 25, 2003 (we referred to those service
bulletins as appropriate sources of service information for doing the
actions specified in the NPRM). The commenter notes that it has
incorporated Boeing Alert Service Bulletins 747-33A2280 and 767-
33A0087, both dated December 19, 2001, for its Model 747-400 and Model
767-200/-300 fleets. The commenter notes that it strictly controls the
configuration `D' master module. However, the commenter states it did
not carry out some top assembly module part number changes according to
the instructions of Revision 1 of the service bulletins because in some
cases the original top assembly module part number was not indicated
anywhere, or was indicated unclearly.
    The commenter believes that it is impossible to follow the part
number change indicated in Revision 1 of the service bulletins and
notes that because it tracks the base module, it can ignore the top
assembly module part number.
    The commenter also states that Boeing agrees that Japan Airlines
does not need to perform Revision 1 of the service bulletins because
the changes to the bulletin caused by Revision 1 do not affect Japan
Airlines' fleet/units.
    We disagree with removing the reference to Boeing Alert Service
Bulletins 747-33A2280 and 767-33A0087, both Revision 1. We acknowledge
that each operator may wish to use different parts and have its own
tracking methods. However, we cannot accommodate every operator's
differences in each AD. We have determined that the best way to handle
such circumstances is for operators to request an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) in accordance with paragraph (p) of this AD, rather
than increasing the complexity of the AD by addressing each operator's
unique situation. We have not revised this AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comments received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 2,511 airplanes of the affected designs in the
worldwide fleet. This AD affects about 934 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The inspection of switches takes about 8 work hours per airplane,
at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these figures,
the estimated cost of the inspection for U.S. operators is $597,760, or
$640 per airplane.

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 have 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 DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    (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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

Inspection

    (h) Within 60 months after the effective date of this AD: Do a
general visual inspection of the switches specified in paragraphs
(h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), (h)(4), and (h)(5) of this AD, as
applicable, to identify configuration `D' master modules and the
part number (P/N) of the switch, in accordance with the applicable
service bulletin, except as provided by paragraph (i) of this AD.

    Note 2: For the purposes of this AD, a general visual inspection
is ``A visual examination of a interior or exterior area,
installation or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or
irregularity. This level of inspection is made from within touching
distance unless otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to
ensure visual access to all surfaces in the inspection area. This
level of inspection is made under normal available lighting
conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight or drop-
light and may require removal or opening of access panels or doors.
Stands, ladders or platforms may be required to gain proximity to
the area being checked.''

    (1) For Model 757-200, -200CB, and -200PF series airplanes:
Switches identified in step 1 and step 3 of Figure 1 of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 757-33A0044, Revision 1, dated September 25, 2003.
    (2) For Model 757-300 series airplanes: Switches identified in
step 1 of Figure 1 of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 757-33A0045,
Revision 1, dated September 25, 2003.
    (3) For Model 767-200, -300, and -300F series airplanes:
Switches identified in step 1 of Figure 1 of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 767-33A0087, Revision 1, dated September 25, 2003.
    (4) For Model 767-400ER series airplanes: Switches identified in
step 1 of Figure 1 of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-33A0088,
dated December 19, 2001.
    (5) For all airplanes: Switches identified for the panel
assemblies specified in the applicable service bulletin.

Optional Inspection

    (i) Instead of doing the inspection required by paragraph (h) of
this AD, operators may inspect the part number of the panel
assemblies specified in paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this AD, as
applicable, at the time specified in paragraph (h) of this AD. If
the part number is identified as a new part number in paragraph 2.E.
``Existing Parts Accountability'' or Appendix B of the applicable
service bulletin, no further action is required. If the part number
is not identified as a new part number, the inspection required by
paragraph (h) of this AD must be done at the specified time.
    (1) For switches identified in paragraphs (h)(1), (h)(2),
(h)(3), and (h)(4) of this AD: P3-1 and P10 panel assemblies, as
applicable.
    (2) For switches identified in paragraph (h)(5) of this AD: The
panel assemblies identified in the applicable service bulletin.

Corrective Action

    (j) If during any inspection required by paragraph (h) of this
AD, any switch is found that does not have a configuration `D'
switch master module and no switch part number specified in
paragraph (j)(1)(i) or (j)(1)(ii) of this AD is found: Before
further flight, do the actions specified in either paragraph (j)(1)
or (j)(2) of this AD and do the part number revision, as applicable,
specified in paragraph (j)(3) of this AD.

    (1) Replace the switch with a switch specified in paragraph
(j)(1)(i), (j)(1)(ii), or (j)(1)(iii) of this AD, in accordance with
the applicable service bulletin, except as provided by paragraph (k)
of this AD.
    (i) Switches having Boeing P/N S231T290-4201 through -4325
inclusive.
    (ii) Switches having Korry P/N<PHONE_NUMBER>-4201 through -4325
inclusive.

    Note 3: One-to-one switch correlation between the existing
switches and the new part number switches can be found in Korry
Service Bulletin 433-33-06, dated November 7, 2001.

    (iii) Switches that have a configuration `D' master module.
    (2) Replace the switch master module with a new configuration
`D' master module in accordance with the applicable service
bulletin.
    (3) If all switches on a panel assembly have a configuration `D'
master module or have a switch part number specified in paragraph
(j)(1)(i) or (j)(1)(ii) of this AD: Revise the part number of the
panel assembly in accordance with the applicable service bulletin.
    (k) If during any inspection required by paragraph (h) of this
AD, a configuration `D' switch master module is found or the switch
part number is specified in paragraph (j)(1)(i) or (j)(1)(ii) of
this AD on all switches for a panel assembly: Before further flight,
revise the part number of the panel assembly, in accordance with the
applicable service bulletin.

Contact the FAA/Removal and Installation Procedures

    (l) If the applicable service bulletin specifies removal or
installation of certain parts and does not specify removal or
installation instructions: Before further flight, remove or install
those parts according to a method approved by the Manager, Seattle
Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, or by doing the actions
specified in paragraph (l)(1) of this AD for removal or paragraph
(l)(2) of this AD for installation, as applicable.
    (1) Remove the module/panel assembly by doing the actions
specified in paragraphs (l)(1)(i), (l)(1)(ii), and (l)(1)(iii) of
this AD.
    (i) Hold the module/panel assembly in position and loosen the
quick-release screws.
    (ii) Carefully lower the module/panel assembly from the overhead
panel.
    (iii) Remove the electrical connectors attached to the rear of
the module/panel assembly.
    (2) Install the module/panel assembly by doing the actions
specified in paragraphs (l)(2)(i) and (l)(2)(ii) of this AD.
    (i) Make sure that the module/panel assembly is correctly
aligned, and connect the electrical connectors to the rear of the
unit.
    (ii) Carefully lift the module/panel assembly into position and
install it with the quick-release screws.

Operational Tests

    (m) If any panel assemblies, switches, or master modules are
replaced during any action required by this AD: Before further
flight, do all applicable operational tests in accordance with the
applicable service bulletin, except as provided by paragraph (n) of
this AD.
    (n) Where paragraph 3.B.14.b.(3) of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-33A2280, Revision
1, dated September 25, 2003, specifies procedures to do a test of
the engine ignition control/fuel jettison module assembly, this AD
requires that operators dry-motor the engine to remove the fuel from
the tailpipe before doing the procedures in paragraph 3.B.14.b.(3).
All fuel must be removed from the engine tailpipe before performing
the test, because during the test the engine igniter will be
energized.

Actions Accomplished According to Previous Issue of Service Bulletins

    (o) Actions accomplished before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-33A2280, 757-
33A0044, 757-33A0045, or 767-33A0087, all dated December 19, 2001,
are considered acceptable for compliance with the corresponding
action specified in this AD, provided that the actions specified in
this AD are done on the switches for the additional panel assemblies
specified in Revision 1 of the service bulletin.

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (p)(1) The Manager, Seattle ACO, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested in accordance with the procedures
found in 14 CFR 39.19.
    (2) To request a different method of compliance or a different
compliance time for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 39.19.
