Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-07-
09, which applies to all The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B,
747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D,
747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. AD 2021-07-09 required
repetitively inspecting all trim air diffuser ducts or sidewall riser
duct assemblies (collectively referred to as TADDs) for damage,
including repetitive structural inspections of the center fuel tanks
for damage, and performing applicable on-condition actions. Since the
FAA issued AD 2021-07-09, the agency has determined that the existing
requirements do not adequately address the unsafe condition. This AD
continues to require repetitive inspections of the TADDs for damage,
with revised compliance times, and repair if applicable. This AD also
requires repetitive replacement of the TADDs and removes the structural
inspections of the center fuel tanks. This AD also prohibits the
installation of affected parts. This AD removes certain airplanes from
the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 14, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 14,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2021-07-09, Amendment 39-21486 (86 FR
17899, April 7, 2021) (AD 2021-07-09). AD 2021-07-09 applied to all The
Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-
200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP
series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
September 8, 2022 (87 FR 54919). The NPRM was prompted by reports of
sealant deteriorating on the outside of the center wing fuel tank and
analysis showing that sealant may deteriorate inside the tank due to
excess heat from TADDs. The NPRM was also prompted by reports
indicating that the high temperature composite material TADD failed. AD
2021-07-09 requires replacing original fiberglass fabric material with
high temperature composite material TADDs, repetitively inspecting the
TADDs for damage, and

as applicable inspecting the center wing fuel tank secondary fuel
barrier coating and primary sealant for damage, and repairing damage.
In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to continue to require repetitive
inspections of the TADDs for damage, with revised compliance times, and
repair if applicable. The NPRM also proposed to require repetitive
replacement of the TADDs and remove the structural inspections of the
center fuel tanks. In addition, this AD prohibits the installation of
affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address potential hot air
leakage from original fiberglass fabric material or high temperature
composite material TADD that can cause damage to the center wing fuel
tank secondary fuel barrier coating and primary sealant, which can
cause fuel leakage into an ignition zone, possibly resulting in a fire
or explosion.
    For information on the procedures and compliance times, see the
service information at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2022-1058.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from four commenters. Commenters included
Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) who supported the
NPRM without change, and an individual whose comment is outside the
scope of this rulemaking. The FAA received additional comments from
Boeing and another commenter. The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request for Clarification on Credit for Previous Actions

    A commenter asked if an operator can claim full credit against the
proposed AD if the operator with Group 2 airplanes performed Boeing
Service Bulletin 747-21A2577-00 and conducted the TADD replacement
associated with certain comments from AD 2021-07-09 in order to extend
the inspection interval.
    The FAA infers the commenter is referring to the FAA's response to
a comment in AD 2021-07-09. That response states as follows:

    After initial installation of high temperature TADDs, operators
may avoid repeat inspections at 1,200 FH intervals by installing new
high temperature TADDs at each 16,000 FH interval, without an
alternative method of compliance (AMOC) or additional rulemaking, as
long as required actions are completed at that interval.

    The FAA infers the commenter is requesting the same allowance from
the FAA's response to the comment in AD 2021-07-09 to replace the TADD
in lieu of performing repetitive inspections of the TADD at 1,200-
flight-hour intervals. The FAA provides the following clarifications of
the AD requirements. This AD requires operators to perform repetitive
inspection of the TADD, report any TADD damages to Boeing, and replace
the TADD at 16,000-flight-hour intervals. This AD does not provide an
option for a TADD to continue in service after 16,000 flight hours.
    The proposed AD would have required Boeing Alert Requirements
Bulletin 747-21A2577 RB, Revision 1, dated March 9, 2022. This AD has
been revised to require Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-21A2577
RB, Revision 2, dated February 10, 2023. However, paragraph (j) of this
AD provides credit for actions done before the effective date of the AD
using Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-21A2577 RB, dated February
18, 2020; or Revision 1, dated March 9, 2022.

Request for Change in Applicability

    Boeing requested that the FAA revise paragraph (c),
``Applicability,'' of the proposed AD to remove the following Model 747
Large Cargo Freighters (LCF) airplanes: variable numbers RT631, RT743,
RT876, and RT632. The listed LCF airplanes should not be applicable
because the listed LCF airplanes do not have original fiberglass fabric
material or high temperature composite material TADD.
    The FAA agrees with the request for the reasons provided by the
commenter. The FAA notes that paragraph 1.A., ``Effectivity,'' of
Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-21A2577 RB, Revision 2, dated
February 10, 2023, specifically excludes line numbers 766, 778, 904,
and 932 (variable numbers RT631, RT743, RT876, and RT632). The FAA
revised paragraph (c) of this AD to limit the applicability to
airplanes identified in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-21A2577
RB, Revision 2, dated February 10, 2023.

Request for Change to the Service Bulletins Cited

    Boeing requested the FAA to reference Revision 2 instead of
Revision 1 of Service Bulletin and Requirements Bulletin 747-21A2577.
Revision 2 of this service information will address the issue of
Appendix A and Appendix B not being in the RB.
    The FAA agrees with Boeing's request. As stated previously, the FAA
has revised this AD to require Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-
21A2577 RB, Revision 2, dated February 10, 2023. Revision 2 added the
missing appendixes and introduces no other changes that affect
compliance.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, and
any other changes described previously, this AD is adopted as proposed
in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on
any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 747-21A2577 RB,

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

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition repairs specified in this AD.
    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact
on affected operators.

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

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984
(Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term
Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide that a patent may
be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as the patented item
(human drug product, animal drug product, medical device, food
additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory review by FDA
before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a product's regulatory
review period forms the basis for determining the amount of extension
an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of USPTO may award
(for example, half the testing phase must be subtracted as well as any
time that may have occurred before the patent was issued), FDA's
determination of the length of a regulatory review period for a human
drug product will include all of the testing phase and approval phase
as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA has approved for marketing the human drug product BEVYXXA
(betrixaban maleate), which is indicated for the prophylaxis of venous
thromboembolism (VTE) in adult patients hospitalized for an acute
medical illness who are at risk for thromboembolic complications due to
moderate or severe restricted mobility and other risk factors for VTE.
Subsequent to this approval, the USPTO received patent term restoration
applications for BEVYXXA (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,376,515; 6,835,739;
7,598,276; and 8,518,977) from Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and
the USPTO requested FDA's assistance in determining the patents'
eligibility for patent term restoration. In a letter dated April 5,
2018, FDA advised the USPTO that this human drug product had undergone
a regulatory review period and that the approval of BEVYXXA represented
the first permitted commercial marketing or use of the product.
Thereafter, the USPTO requested that FDA determine the product's
regulatory review period.

II. Determination of Regulatory Review Period

    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
BEVYXXA is 4,244 days. Of this time, 4,001 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 243 days occurred
during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became effective:
November 11, 2005. The applicant claims November 30, 2005, as the date
the investigational new drug application (IND) became effective.
However, FDA records indicate that the IND effective date was November
11, 2005, which was 30 days after FDA receipt of the IND.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human drug product under section 505(b) of the FD&C Act: October
24, 2016. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the new drug
application (NDA) for BEVYXXA (NDA 208383) was initially submitted on
October 24, 2016.
    3. The date the application was approved: June 23, 2017. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that NDA 208383 was approved on June 23,
2017.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the USPTO
applies several statutory limitations in its calculations of the actual
period for patent extension. In its applications for patent extension,
this applicant seeks 821 days, 1,531 days, or 5 years of patent term
extension.

III. Petitions

    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit either electronic or written comments and, under
21 CFR 60.24, ask for a redetermination (see DATES). Furthermore, as
specified in Sec.  60.30 (21 CFR 60.30), any interested person may
petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for
extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period.
To meet its burden, the petition must comply with all the requirements
of Sec.  60.30, including but not limited to: Must be timely (see
DATES), must be filed in accordance with Sec.  10.20, must contain
sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation, and must certify that a
true and complete copy of the petition has been served upon the patent
applicant. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42,
1984.) Petitions should be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Submit petitions electronically to https://www.regulations.gov at
Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610. Submit written petitions (two copies are
required) to the Dockets Management Staff (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
ALL application materials must be submitted electronically through your My ENERGY STAR Account (MESA) (www.energystar.gov/mesa) using the electronic application forms provided. These materials must include:
 PART 1: General Instructions & Executive Summary which includes a brief description of your organization and six bullet points showcasing your organization's main ENERGY STAR certified homes achievements during 2019 in the corresponding fields. (required)
 PART 2: Award Accomplishments Document consisting of your organization's responses to sections above and below within this application. (required)
 PART 3: Supporting Materials Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit electronic samples of program materials and evaluation reports to support the narrative description. Importantly, applicants should provide examples of the use of the ENERGY STAR name and mark in customer and trade ally outreach that is not easily accessible to the public online. In addition, EPA will validate incorporation of ENERGY STAR label by reviewing use of the ENERGY STAR logo and educational content of the applicant's website, if they are otherwise deemed competitive applicants. (minimum of 1 required)
 PART 4:  Organization's High-Resolution Logo (required)
      Accomplishments -- Applicants should provide a detailed description of 2019 accomplishments demonstrating how you have met the required criteria below.

      Incremental Annual Energy Savings and Other Numerical Accomplishments -- When highlighting accomplishments, please be sure to include incremental annual energy savings and specify whether they are net or gross savings.
 "Incremental Annual Energy Savings: The difference between the amount of energy savings acquired or planned to be acquired as a result of energy efficiency activities in one year, and the amount of energy savings acquired or planned to be acquired as a result of the energy efficiency activities in the prior year.
 Net Savings: The change in energy consumption and/or demand that is attributable to an energy efficiency program. This change in energy use and/or demand may include, implicitly or explicitly, consideration of factors such as free ridership, participant and nonparticipant spillover, and induced market effects. These factors may be considered in how a baseline is defined (e.g., common practice) and/or in adjustments to gross savings values.
 Gross Savings: The change in energy consumption and/or demand that results directly from program-related actions taken by participants in an energy efficiency program, regardless of why they participated."

      Applicants, particularly candidates for Sustained Excellence, may also wish to include cumulative energy savings defined as "the summation of energy savings (e.g., megawatt-hours, therms) from multiple projects or programs over a specified number of years, taking into account the time of measure installation in the first year, annual energy savings for subsequent years, and the average life of the installed measures."  When providing cumulative accomplishments please be sure to include the beginning and end times.
      Specification of Time Horizon -- While incremental annual energy savings and other accomplishments need largely to have occurred in calendar year 2019, the application deadline as well as applicant program/fiscal year often make quantification and reporting difficult. As such, the applicant may provide estimated incremental annual savings and other data through the end of the calendar year and specify that it is estimated or provide more precise data and include the time horizon (e.g., between October 2018 and October 2019). Please be consistent throughout the application, i.e., use the same method/time horizon for all accomplishments.
      Context Matters, Tell Your Story -- Don't assume that reviewers know your service territory or the local conditions that affect program performance.  Putting data in context can help tell your story. For example, raw data on the number of ENERGY STAR certified homes your program facilitated can be strengthened by estimates of the percent of home starts they represent in your territory. Similarly, if you achieved the same or greater volume of equipment sales as the prior year, but the energy savings claims are lower due to a change in the baseline of comparison, that is important context.
