Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-16-19,
which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 747-200B, 747-300,
and 747-400 series airplanes. AD 2007-16-19 required repetitive
detailed inspections for cracking of the aft tension tie channels from
body station (BS) 1120 to BS 1220 and from BS 880 to BS 1100, and
corrective actions if necessary. AD 2007-16-19 also provided optional
terminating action. This new AD retains the existing requirements,
limits the area of the detailed inspection, adds repetitive surface
high-frequency eddy current inspections, and mandates the previously
optional terminating action. This AD was prompted by an analysis that
indicated the need to mandate the previously optional modification. We
are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of the tension ties,
which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane and
rapid depressurization of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective June 13, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2007-16-19, Amendment 39-15158 (72 FR 45151,
August 13, 2007). AD 2007-16-19 applied to certain The Boeing Company
Model 747-200B, 747-300, and 747-400 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2013 (78 FR 48835). The
NPRM was prompted by an analysis that indicated the need to mandate the
previously optional modification. The NPRM proposed to continue to
require repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of the aft tension
tie channels from body station (BS) 1120 to BS 1220 and from BS 880 to
BS 1100, and corrective actions if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to
provide optional terminating action for the repetitive detailed
inspections at BS 1120 to 1220. The NPRM also proposed to limit the
area of the detailed inspection, add repetitive surface high-frequency
eddy current inspections, and mandate the previously optional
terminating action for BS 880 to 1100. We are issuing this AD to
prevent fatigue cracking of the tension ties, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane and rapid depressurization
of the airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(78 FR 48835, August 12, 2013) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Change Service Information Reference

    Paragraph (h) of the NPRM (78 FR 48835, August 12, 2013) specified
a modification and related investigative and corrective actions, in
accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2610, Revision 1,
dated December 4, 2012. Paragraph (h) of the NPRM included the
following provision:

    Modification of a tension tie at STA 1120 to 1220, as required
by paragraph (p) of AD 2012-15-13 . . ., is acceptable for
compliance with the requirements of paragraph (h) of this AD for
that tension tie location only.

Boeing requested that we revise that sentence to specify that the
modification is terminating action if done in accordance with Boeing
Service Bulletin 747-53A2559, Revision 1, dated August 4, 2011--instead
of AD 2012-15-13, Amendment 39-17142 (77 FR 47267, August 8, 2012),
which could be superseded in the future.
    We agree with the request, for the reasons provided by the
commenter, and have revised this terminating action provision
accordingly in this final rule. We have also revised paragraph (b) of
this final rule to remove the reference to AD 2012-15-13, Amendment 39-
17142 (77 FR 47267, August 8, 2012). In addition, we have moved the
terminating action provisions from paragraph (h) of this final rule to
a new paragraph (i) in this final rule, and redesignated subsequent
paragraphs accordingly.

Requests for More Specific Exception References

    Boeing requested that we revise paragraphs (g) and (h) of the NPRM
(78 FR 48835, August 12, 2013) to change the reference to the
compliance-time exception paragraph, which the NPRM identified as
paragraph ``(i).'' Boeing requested that we more specifically identify
this exception as paragraph ``(i)(2)'' of the NPRM.
    We agree, and have revised paragraphs (g) and (h) accordingly in
this final rule--except that paragraph (i)(2) of the NPRM (78 FR 48835,
August 12, 2013) has been redesignated as paragraph (j)(2) in this
final rule.

Additional Changes to NPRM (78 FR 48835, August 12, 2013)

    Paragraph (h) of the NPRM (78 FR 48835, August 12, 2013) provided
terminating action for all tension tie locations (BS 880 to 1220). We
have revised paragraph (h) in this final rule to require terminating
action for BS 880

to 1100 only, and to move the (optional) terminating action for BS 1120
to 1220 to new paragraph (i) in this final rule. We redesignated
subsequent paragraphs accordingly.
    We have further revised paragraph (h) of the NPRM (78 FR 48835,
August 12, 2013), now paragraphs (h) and (i) in this final rule, to
clarify that modification of a tension tie is acceptable for compliance
with the requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD for the affected
tension tie location only.
    Paragraph (h) of the NPRM (78 FR 48835, August 12, 2013)
incorrectly stated that it terminated paragraph (h) of the AD.
Paragraphs (h) and (i) in this final rule instead identify paragraph
(g) of the AD as the terminated action.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 48835, August 12, 2013) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 48835, August 12, 2013).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 1 airplane of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated costs

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
work-hour estimates for repair of cracks found in a bolt hole during
the detailed inspection specified in this AD. The cost for parts
(oversized fastener kit) for this condition is $2,292.

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),
    (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.

fatigue cracking of the tension ties, which could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane and rapid depressurization of
the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Repetitive Inspections

    At the applicable time specified in paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2610,
Revision 1, dated December 4, 2012, except as specified in paragraph
(j)(2) of this AD: Do

detailed and surface high-frequency eddy current inspections for
cracks in the tension ties at body station (BS) 880 to 1100, 1120,
1160, 1200, and 1220, and do all applicable corrective actions, in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 747-53A2610, Revision 1, dated December 4, 2012,
except as required by paragraph (j)(3) of this AD. Do all applicable

Revision 1, dated December 4, 2012, until the tension ties have been
modified as required by paragraph (h) of this AD or as specified in
paragraph (i) of this AD. Repair or modification of a tension tie at
any location in accordance with Part 3 of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2610, Revision
1, dated December 4, 2012, terminates the repetitive inspection
requirements of this AD for that tension tie location only.

(h) Tension Tie Modification: BS 880 to 1100

    At the applicable time specified in paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2610,
Revision 1, dated December 4, 2012, except as specified in paragraph
(j)(2) of this AD: Modify the tension ties from BS 880 to 1100, and
do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions, in
accordance with Part 3 of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2610, Revision 1, dated December 4,
2012, except as required by paragraph (j)(3) of this AD. Do all
applicable related investigative and corrective actions before
further flight. Modification as required by this paragraph
terminates the repetitive inspection requirements of paragraph (g)
of this AD for the affected tension tie location(s) only.

4, 2011, except as required by paragraph (j)(4) of this AD,
terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD for that
tension tie location only. Paragraph (p) of AD 2012-15-13, Amendment
39-17142 (77 FR 47267, August 8, 2012), mandates the accomplishment
of the modification and associated actions specified in Boeing
Service Bulletin 747-53A2559, Revision 1, dated August 4, 2011.

(j) Service Information Clarification and Exceptions

    (1) Paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747-53A2610, Revision 1, dated December 4, 2012, specifies
certain compliance times ``after August 28, 2007.'' August 28, 2007,
is the effective date of AD 2007-16-19, Amendment 39-15158 (72 FR
45151, August 13, 2007).
    (2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2610, Revision 1,
dated December 4, 2012, specifies a compliance time ``after the
Revision 1 date of this service bulletin,'' this AD requires
compliance within the specified time after the effective date of
this AD.
    (3) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2610, Revision 1,
dated December 4, 2012, specifies to contact Boeing for certain
repair instructions: Repair before further flight using a method
approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph
(l) of this AD.
    (4) Where Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2559, Revision 1, dated
August 4, 2011, specifies to contact Boeing for repair instructions
or additional modification requirements, repair of the cracking or
additional actions must be done using a method approved in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (l) of this
AD.

(k) Credit for Previous Actions

    This paragraph provides credit for the detailed inspections,
repairs, and modification specified in paragraphs (g) and (h) of
this AD, for that affected tension tie location only, if those
actions were performed before the effective date of this AD using
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2610, dated May 10, 2007 (which
is not incorporated by reference in this AD).

(l) 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 (m)(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 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. For a repair method to be approved, the repair must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) AMOCs approved previously in accordance with AD 2007-16-19,
Amendment 39-15158 (72 FR 45151, August 13, 2007), are approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of this AD.
