To:	Margaret Sheppard, EPA/SNAP

Date:	11/24/09

	Matt Kevnick called to follow up with a question from Friday’s
meeting with SAE and a number of automotive manufacturers on HFO-1234yf.
 He asked about a statement that SNAP and the New Chemicals Program look
at “overall risk.”  I explained that both programs look at overall
risks, considering not just human health effects, but also environmental
concerns.  I also explained that there are some differences in the two
programs, based on their statutory authority.  I mentioned that the New
Chemical Program is preparing to release a “Significant New Use
Rule” for HFO-1234yf, as well, and gave Mr. Kevnick a contact name and
email.

Mr. Kevnick mentioned that some of the statements by spokespeople at
Friday’s meeting did not necessarily represent a consensus view.  He
thought it likely that the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers would
provide comments on the proposed rule on HFO-1234yf, as well as his own
company and others as well.  Mr. Kevnick also said that he thought that
it was even more important to have a rule that was right (technically
correct) than one that was finished rapidly, though both are important.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0693; Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-059-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

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
certain The Boeing Company Model 757-200 and -200PF series airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by reports indicating that a standard
access door was located where an impact-resistant access door was
required, and stencils were missing from some impact-resistant access
doors. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the left- and
right-hand wing fuel tank access doors to determine that impact-
resistant access doors are installed in the correct locations, and to
replace any door with an impact-resistant access door if necessary.
This proposed AD also would require an inspection for stencils and
index markers on impact-resistant access doors, and application of new
stencils or index markers if necessary. This proposed AD would also
require revising the maintenance program to incorporate changes to the
airworthiness limitations section. We are proposing this AD to prevent
foreign object penetration of the fuel tank, which could cause a fuel
leak near an ignition source (e.g., hot brakes or engine exhaust
nozzle), consequently leading to a fuel-fed fire.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 30,
2013.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2013-0693;
Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-059-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We received reports of a standard access door located where an
impact-resistant access door is required, and stencils missing from
some spare impact-resistant access doors. This condition, if not
corrected, could result in foreign object penetration of the fuel tank,
which could cause a fuel leak near an ignition source (e.g., hot brakes
or engine exhaust nozzle), consequently leading to a fuel-fed fire.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 757-28-0118, dated January 12,
2012; and critical design configuration control limitation (CDCCL) Task
57-AWL-01, ``Impact-Resistant Fuel Tank Access Doors,'' of Section 9,
Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) and Certification Requirements (CMRs)
of Boeing 757 Maintenance Planning Data Document D622N001-9, Revision
August 2012. For information on the procedures and compliance times,
see this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching
for Docket No. FAA-2013-0693.

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 these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    The FAA issued section 121.316 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
(14 CFR 121.316) requiring that each turbine powered transport category
airplane meet the requirements of section 25.963(e) of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 25.963(e)). Section 25.963(e) outlines the
certification requirements for fuel tank access covers on turbine
powered transport category airplanes.
    This proposed AD would require inspecting fuel tank access doors to
determine that impact-resistant access doors are installed in the
correct locations and replacing any door with an impact-resistant
access door if necessary; inspecting application of stencils and index
markers of impact-resistant access doors and application of new
stencils or index markers if necessary; and revising the maintenance
program.
    This proposed AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance
documents to include a new CDCCL. Compliance with CDCCLs is required by
section 91.403(c) of the Federal Aviation Regulations (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
might 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 according to
the procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this proposed AD. The
request should include a description of changes to the required actions
that will ensure the continued damage tolerance of the affected
structure.
    After accomplishing the revision required by paragraph (h) of this
AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections), intervals, and/or
CDCCLs may be used unless the actions, intervals, and/or CDCCLs are
approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance
with the procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 86 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

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

Inspection............................  8 work-hours x $85 per                $0            $680         $58,480
                                         hour = $680.
Maintenance Program Revision..........  1 work-hour x $85 per                  0              85           7,310
                                         hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection.
We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need
these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per
                    Action                                 Labor cost               Parts cost        product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replacement per door..........................  3 work-hours x $85 per hour =             $8,000          $8,255
                                                 $255.
Stencil and index marker......................  4 work-hours x $85 per hour =                  0             340
                                                 $340.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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.
