14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0344; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-034-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 supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-24-
13, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -
200C, -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series
airplanes. AD 2013-24-13 currently requires replacing the pivot link
assembly for certain airplanes, replacing the seat track link
assemblies or modifying the existing seat track link assembly for
certain airplanes, or modifying the existing seat track link assembly
fastener for certain airplanes. AD 2013-24-13 also requires inspecting,
changing, or repairing the seat track link assembly for certain other
airplanes. Since we issued AD 2013-24-13, a paragraph reference was
found to be mis-identified. This proposed AD would correct this
paragraph reference. We are proposing this AD to prevent seat
detachment in an emergency landing, which could cause injury to
occupants of the passenger compartment and affect emergency egress.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 18, 2014.

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

Discussion

    On November 19, 2013, we issued AD 2013-24-13, Amendment 39-17687
(78 FR 72558, December 3, 2013), for certain The Boeing Company Model
737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -700C, -800, and -
900 series

airplanes. AD 2013-24-13 requires replacing the pivot link assembly for
certain airplanes, replacing the seat track link assemblies or
modifying the existing seat track link assembly for certain airplanes,
or modifying the existing seat track link assembly fastener for certain
airplanes. AD 2013-24-13 also requires inspecting, changing, or
repairing the seat track link assembly for certain other airplanes. AD
2013-24-13 resulted from a report that the seat track attachment of
body station 520 flexible joint is structurally deficient in resisting
a 9g forward emergency load condition in certain seating
configurations. We issued AD 2013-24-13 to prevent seat detachment in
an emergency landing, which could cause injury to occupants of the
passenger compartment and affect emergency egress.

Actions Since AD 2013-24-13, Amendment 39-17687 (78 FR 72558, December
3, 2013) Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2013-24-13, Amendment 39-17687 (78 FR 72558,
December 3, 2013), a paragraph reference was found to be mis-identified
in paragraph (i) of that AD. Paragraph (i) of AD 2013-24-13 states that
before or concurrently with the accomplishment of the actions specified
in paragraph (g)(2) or (g)(3) of this AD, install a new seat track link
assembly. Where paragraph (i) of AD 2013-24-13 referred to paragraph
(g)(3) of that AD, this AD refers to paragraph (g)(4) of this AD.
    We have also revised the terminology of the Summary and Discussion
sections of this AD to clarify the actions required by this AD.

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 retain all requirements of AD 2013-24-13,
Amendment 39-17687 (78 FR 72558, December 3, 2013). This proposed AD
would revise the second sentence of paragraph (i) of this proposed AD
to replace the reference to paragraph (g)(3) with reference to
paragraph (g)(4) of this proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,281 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs

 from AD 2013[dash]24[dash]13,
 Amendment 39-17687 (78 FR 72558,
 December 3, 2013)] \1\.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide a cost estimate for the actions required for airplanes in Group 6 identified in
  Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1260, Revision 1, dated May 23, 2013.

    This new proposed AD adds no new costs to 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.
    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 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 that the 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.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

2013-24-13, Amendment 39-17687 (78 FR 72558, December 3, 2013), and
adding the following new AD:

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2014-0344; Directorate Identifier

the seat track attachment of body station 520 flexible joint is
structurally deficient in resisting a 9g forward emergency load
condition in certain seating configurations. We are issuing this AD
to prevent seat detachment in an emergency landing, which could
cause injury to occupants of the passenger compartment and affect
emergency egress.
