Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, and -400ER series airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted an evaluation by the design approval
holder (DAH) indicating that the fuselage skin lap splices are subject
to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This proposed AD would require
repetitive inspections to detect any crack in the fuselage skin at the
skin lap splices. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracks
at the fuselage skin lap splice, which can rapidly link up, possibly
resulting in rapid decompression and loss of structural integrity of
the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 14,
2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    Fatigue damage can occur locally, in small areas or structural
design details, or globally, in widespread areas. Multiple-site damage
(MSD) is widespread damage that occurs in a large structural element
such as a single rivet line of a lap splice joining two large skin
panels. Widespread damage can also occur in multiple elements such as
adjacent frames or stringers. Multiple-site damage and multiple-

element damage cracks are typically too small initially to be reliably
detected with normal inspection methods. Without intervention, these
cracks will grow, and eventually compromise the structural integrity of
the airplane. This condition is known as WFD. It is associated with
general degradation of large areas of structure with similar structural
details and stress levels. As an airplane ages, WFD will likely occur,
and will certainly occur if the airplane is operated long enough
without any intervention.
    The FAA's WFD final rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) became
effective on January 14, 2011. The WFD rule requires certain actions to
prevent structural failure due to WFD throughout the operational life
of certain existing transport category airplanes and all of these
airplanes that will be certificated in the future. For existing and
future airplanes subject to the WFD rule, the rule requires that DAHs
establish a limit of validity (LOV) of the engineering data that
support the structural maintenance program. Operators affected by the
WFD rule may not fly an airplane beyond its LOV, unless an extended LOV
is approved.
    The WFD rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) does not require
identifying and developing maintenance actions if the DAHs can show
that such actions are not necessary to prevent WFD before the airplane
reaches the LOV. Many LOVs, however, do depend on accomplishment of
future maintenance actions. As stated in the WFD rule, any maintenance
actions necessary to reach the LOV will be mandated by airworthiness
directives through separate rulemaking actions.
    In the context of WFD, this action is necessary to enable DAHs to
propose LOVs that allow operators the longest operational lives for
their airplanes, and still ensure that WFD will not occur. This
approach allows for an implementation strategy that provides
flexibility to DAHs in determining the timing of service information
development (with FAA approval), while providing operators with
certainty regarding the LOV applicable to their airplanes.
    We determined that the existing Boeing 767 Maintenance Planning
Document (MPD) Section 9 Airworthiness Limitation Instructions
inspection program is not sufficient to preclude the occurrence of WFD
in the fuselage skin lap splice as the airplane ages. The fuselage skin
lap splice has multiple similar adjacent details that have the
potential for MSD and the potential for WFD. 14 CFR 26.21 requires
evaluation of such designs for the potential for WFD and implementation
of the appropriate service actions to ensure that WFD is precluded
before the airplane's LOV. We have received no reports of cracks in the
fuselage skin lap splices. WFD cracking at the fuselage skin lap
splice, if not corrected, could rapidly link up, possibly resulting in
rapid decompression and loss of structural integrity of the airplane.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-53A0264, Revision 1,
dated April 25, 2016. The service information describes procedures for
repetitive inspections and repair for any crack in the fuselage skin at
the skin lap splices. 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.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously. For information on the
procedures and compliance times, see this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
9116.

Difference Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Paragraph 1.B., ``Concurrent Requirements,'' of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 767-53A0264, Revision 1, dated April 25, 2016,
identifies Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-53A0260 as a concurrent
service bulletin. However, this proposed AD would not require Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 767-53A0260, as a concurrent service bulletin.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 332 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.
             Action                    Labor cost         Parts cost      Cost per product        operators

                                   $85 per hour =                        inspection cycle.    inspection cycle.
                                   $14,280 per
                                   inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The size of the area that requires repair must be determined before
material and work-hour costs can be estimated. Additionally, materials
for repairs are operator supplied. Therefore, we cannot provide cost
estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed AD.

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.

    This paragraph provides credit for the actions required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, if those actions were performed before the
effective date of this AD using Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-
53A0264, dated May 12, 2015.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
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 local
Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (k)(1) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Seattle ACO, to make those findings. To be approved, the
repair method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) For service information that contains steps that are labeled
as Required for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs
(j)(4)(i) and (j)(4)(ii) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. An AMOC is required for any deviations to RC steps,
including substeps and identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled 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 RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2016-9295; Airspace Docket No. 16-AWP-16]

Amendment of Class E Airspace and Establishment of Class E En
Route Airspace; Paso Robles, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E surface area airspace, Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and
establishes Class E en route airspace at Paso Robles Municipal Airport,
Paso Robles, CA. Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport are
adjusted to match the current FAA aeronautical database. These changes
are necessary to support new Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) standard
instrument approach procedures at the airport and en route operations
where the Federal airway structure is inadequate.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 22, 2017. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under Title 1,
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

ADDRESSES: FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, and subsequent amendments can be viewed on line at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/. For further information, you can

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends controlled airspace at Paso Robles Municipal Airport, Paso
Robles, CA.

History

    On November 10, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class E surface area
airspace, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface, and establish Class E en route airspace at Paso Robles
Municipal Airport, Paso Robles, CA. (81 FR 78949) Docket No. FAA-2016-
9295. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    The FAA is transitioning from a system of ground based navigational
aids, which are being decommissioned, to Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS) for navigation and found airspace redesign necessary to
support new GNSS standard instrument approach procedures and en route,
point-to-point clearances for which the Federal airway structure is
inadequate.
    Except for an editorial change adding the airport name in the
regulatory text for Class E en route airport, this rule is the same as
published in the NPRM.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002,
6005, and 6006, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3,
2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed
in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class E surface area airspace, Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and establishes Class
E en route airspace upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at Paso
Robles Municipal Airport, Paso Robles, CA.
    Class E surface airspace is modified to within a 5.7-mile radius of
Paso Robles Municipal Airport (from a 5-mile radius), and language
excluding the Hunter Low A, Hunter Low B, and Roberts Military
Operations Areas is removed.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
is slightly enlarged north and south of the airport to accommodate new
Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedures developed for the airport.
    Additionally, Class E en route airspace extending upward from 1,200
feet above the surface is established at the airport to adjoin the
Monterey, Lemoore, Bakersfield, and Santa Barbara Class E airspace
areas upward from 1,200 feet above the surface, to provide controlled
airspace where the Federal airway structure is inadequate. Also, the
geographic coordinates of the airport are adjusted to match the FAA's
aeronautical database.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
