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) 2017-25-
12, which applies to all The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C,
-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. AD 2017-25-12 requires
repetitive inspections for cracking of the webs of the stub beams at
certain fuselage stations, and applicable on-condition actions. Since
we issued AD 2017-25-12, we have received reports of horizontal
cracking in the station (STA) 685 stub beam at the inboard end of the
upper chord and the outboard end of the lower chord. AD 2017-25-12 did
not require an inspection of the area where the horizontal cracks were
found. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections at certain
fuselage stations for cracking of the stub beams, and applicable on-
condition actions. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 6, 2019.

Discussion

    We issued AD 2017-25-12, Amendment 39-19126 (82 FR 59967, December
18, 2017) (``AD 2017-25-12''), for all The Boeing Company Model 737-
100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. AD 2017-25-12
requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the webs of the stub
beams at certain fuselage stations, and applicable on-condition
actions. AD 2017-25-12 resulted from reports of cracking in the webs of
the stub beams at certain fuselage stations. These cracks are a result
of fatigue caused by cyclical loading from pressurization, wing loads,
and landing loads. We issued AD 2017-25-12 to address cracking in the
webs of the stub beams at certain fuselage stations, which, if not
corrected, could result in the loss of structural integrity of the
airframe during flight, collapse of the main landing gear, and failure
of the pressure deck.

Actions Since AD 2017-25-12 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2017-25-12, we have received reports of
horizontal cracking in the STA 685 stub beam at the inboard end of the
upper chord and the outboard end of the lower chord. These cracks were
caused by overload of the stub beams, leading to ductile separation.
Cracks have occurred in the stub beam webs at STA 685 on the left and
right sides of airplanes having total flight cycles ranging between
11,167 and 45,892 at the time of the crack finding. If left undetected,
such cracking could lead to the loss of structural integrity of the
airframe during flight, collapse of the main landing gear, and possible
failure of the pressure deck. AD

2017-25-12 did not require an inspection of the area where the
horizontal cracks were found.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1364, Revision 1,
dated October 25, 2018. The service information describes procedures
for inspections at certain fuselage stations for cracking of the stub
beams (which includes the web, upper chord, and lower chord), and
applicable on-condition actions. The inspections include high frequency
eddy current (HFEC) and detailed inspections for cracking of the
fuselage stub beam webs below the passenger floor at STA 685, STA 695,
and STA 706, general visual inspections for any existing repair in the
STA 685 and STA 706 stub beam webs and HFEC inspections for cracking in
repaired areas. 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 retain none of the requirements of AD 2017-
25-12. This proposed AD would require accomplishment of the actions
identified as ``RC'' (required for compliance) in the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1364, Revision 1,
dated October 25, 2018, described previously, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD.
    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-2019-0249.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 171 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

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

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to 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.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the
Director of the System Oversight Division.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP20-504-000]

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Lake City 1st Branch Line
Abandonment and Capacity Replacement Project and Request for Comments
on Environmental Issues

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Lake City 1st Branch Line
Abandonment and Capacity Replacement Project (Project) involving
construction and operation of facilities by Northern Natural Gas
Company (Northern) in Webster and Calhoun Counties, Iowa. The
Commission will use this EA in its decision-making process to determine
whether the Project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies about issues regarding the Project. The National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to take into account the
environmental impacts that could result from its action whenever it
considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity. NEPA also requires the Commission to discover concerns the
public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as
``scoping.'' The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the
analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By this
notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of issues
to address in the EA. To ensure that your comments are timely and
properly recorded, please submit your comments so that the Commission
receives them in Washington, DC on or before 5:00pm Eastern Time on
September 30, 2020. Comments may be submitted in written form. Further
details on how to submit comments are provided in the Public
Participation section of this notice.
    You can make a difference by submitting your specific comments or
concerns about the Project. Your comments should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid
or lessen environmental impacts. Your input will help the Commission
staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Commission
staff will consider all written comments during the preparation of the
EA.
    If you sent comments on this Project to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on July 31, 2020, you will need to file those
comments in Docket No. CP20-504-000 to ensure they are considered as
part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You
are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the Project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent
domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach
an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be
determined by a judge in accordance with state law.
    Northern provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I
Need To Know?'' which addresses a number of typically asked questions,
including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the
Commission's proceedings. This fact sheet along with other landowner
topics of interest are available for viewing on the FERC website
(www.ferc.gov) under the Natural Gas Questions or Landowner Topics
link.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    The Project would consist of the following facilities and actions
in Webster and Calhoun Counties, Iowa:
     Abandonment in place of 34.2 miles of the four-inch-
diameter Lake City 1st branch line pipeline system from Dayton to Lake
City, Iowa;
     construction of 9.2 miles of new 6-inch-diameter branch
line pipeline extension (the Lake City 2nd branch line extension),
relocation of a receiver to the Lake City town border station, and
installation of a new take-off valve setting for the Lohrville town
border station;
     Maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) uprate of 25.3
miles of the Lake City 2nd branch line pipeline and installation of a
new take-off regulator setting to the Harcourt branch line;
     MAOP uprate of the Callender branch line pipeline; and
     MAOP uprate of the Manson 2nd branch line pipeline and
installation of a new take-off regulator setting from the Manson 2nd
branch line pipeline to the

Manson 1st branch line pipeline and Rockwell City branch line pipeline.
    The general location of the Project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to all those
receiving this notice in the mail and are available at www.ferc.gov
using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the Commission's Public
Reference Room, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, or call
(202) 502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to
the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 149
acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline.
Following construction, Northern would maintain about 37 acres for
permanent operation of the Project's facilities; the remaining acreage
would be restored and revert to former uses. Approximately 53 percent
of the Lake City 2nd branch line extension would be constructed
adjacent to, and offset 25 feet from, Northern's existing Lake City 1st
branch line. Where the new branch line extension deviates from the
existing pipeline, the offset was increased to either avoid impacts on
environmentally sensitive areas or allow for proper alignment of
horizontal directional drill crossings.

The EA Process

    The EA will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the
construction and operation of the proposed project under these general
headings:
     Geology and soils;
     water resources and wetlands;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     threatened and endangered species;
     cultural resources;
     land use;
     air quality and noise;
     public safety; and
     cumulative impacts
    Commission staff will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the
proposed project or portions of the project, and make recommendations
on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    The EA will present Commission staffs' independent analysis of the
issues. The EA will be available in electronic format in the public
record through eLibrary \2\ and the Commission's natural gas
environmental documents web page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). If eSubscribed, you
will receive instant email notification when the EA is issued. The EA
may be issued for an allotted public comment period. Commission staff
will consider all comments on the EA before making recommendations to
the Commission. To ensure Commission staff have the opportunity to
address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the
Public Participation section, beginning on page 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On July 8, 2009 we published an Interim Rule with a request for
comments entitled, Special Local Regulation, Maggie Fischer Memorial
Great South Bay Cross Bay Swim, Great South Bay, NY, in the Federal
Register (74 FR 32428). We did not receive any comments or requests for
meetings in response to the Interim Rule.

Basis and Purpose

    The Cross Bay Swim has been successfully held off and on from the
early 1900's on the waters of Great South Bay, NY. This 5.25 mile swim
has historically involved up to 100 swimmers and accompanying safety
craft that travel along a course located directly north of the Fire
Island Lighthouse Dock, NY and extending to Gilbert Park in
Brightwaters, NY. Prior to this rule there was not a regulation in
place to protect the swimmers or safety craft from the hazards imposed
by marine traffic.
    To ensure the continued safety of the swimmers, safety craft and
the boating public, the Coast Guard is establishing a permanent special
local regulation on the navigable waters of the Great South Bay, New
York that would exclude all unauthorized persons and vessels from
approaching within 100 yards of any swimmer or safety craft on the race
course from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the day of the race.
    Entry into this zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain
of the Port Long Island Sound or by designated on-scene patrol
personnel. Any violation of the safety zone described herein is
punishable by, among other things, civil and criminal penalties, in rem
liability against the offending vessel, and the initiation of
suspension or revocation proceedings against Coast

Guard-issued merchant mariner credentials.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    A small number of changes are being made to minimize the size of
the regulated area and reduce the burden on vessel traffic by
minimizing the restrictions in the regulated area. Even though the
bounds of the regulated area were discussed in the Small Entities
section, and no comments were received, we are clarifying sections (a)
and (c) to read as set forth in the regulatory text of this final rule.
    The changes in the text redefined the regulated area from ``within
100 yards of the swim event race course'' to ``within 100 yards from
each swimmer or safety craft on the swim event race course'' so the
regulated area would not block the entire waterway. This will reduce
the burden on vessels by allowing them to pass through the race course
as long as they stay clear of the swimmers and safety craft.
    Also, paragraph (d) has been revised to provide the public
additional notice of enforcement dates and times through publication of
an advance notice each year in the Federal Register.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule may affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit in those portions of Great South Bay, NY covered by the special
local regulation. Although the safety zone would apply to the entire
width of the bay, traffic would be allowed to pass through the zone,
outside 100 yards of any swimmer or safety craft. Before the activation
of the zone, we would issue maritime advisories widely available to
users of the waterway. Additionally, the rule would only be in effect
for a period of 6-7 hours for one day per year.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the Interim Rule we offered
to assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking
process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use

voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the
agency provides Congress, through the Office of Management and Budget,
with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent
with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus
standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials,
performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures;
and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted
by voluntary consensus standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of
the Instruction. This rule finalizes the establishment of a special
local regulation that was published as an Interim Rule with an
invitation to comment on July 8, 2009. No comments were received that
would affect the assessment of environmental impacts from this action.
An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

[Docket No. FAA-2022-1304; Project Identifier AD-2022-00347-T]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all The Boeing Company Model 767-300F airplanes. This proposed AD
was prompted by a report indicating that the installation requirements
were not followed for the first observer seat in the flight deck. This
proposed AD would require installing placards in various locations of
the flight deck to indicate the proper position for the first observer
seat during taxi, takeoff, and landing, and revising the existing
airplane flight manual (AFM). The FAA is proposing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 23,
2023.

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

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-1304; Project Identifier
AD-2022-00347-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial

information that is customarily treated as private, that you actually
treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to this NPRM, it
is important that you clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI.
Please mark each page of your submission containing CBI as ``PROPIN.''
The FAA will treat such marked submissions as confidential under the
FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public docket of this NPRM.
Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Kumar Khatri, Aerospace
Engineer, Cabin Safety and Environmental Systems Section, FAA, Seattle
ACO Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198; phone and fax:
206-231-3842; email: [email protected]. Any commentary that the
FAA receives that is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed
in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA has received a non-compliance report indicating that the
technical standard order installation requirements for the first
observer seat in the flight deck were not followed. When the first
observer seat, located in front of the supernumerary seats, is in the
furthest aft position on the seat tracks, the ``head path stay out
zone'' is compromised. This condition, if not addressed, could result
in occupants seated in the right or center supernumerary seats
sustaining an injury during an emergency landing.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin
767-25-0589 RB, dated February 25, 2022. This service information
specifies procedures for installing markers (placards) in the flight
deck regarding the position of the first observer seat position during
taxi, takeoff, and landing.
    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 ADDRESSES.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD. This proposed AD would also require revising the existing
AFM to include procedures for briefing all occupants other than the
flightcrew members regarding the first observer seat position for taxi,
takeoff, and landing, as indicated by the placards installed in the
flight deck.

Compliance With AFM Revisions

    Section 91.9 prohibits any person from operating a civil aircraft
without complying with the operating limitations specified in the AFM
and on installed placards. FAA regulations also require operators to
furnish pilots with any changes to the AFM (14 CFR 121.137) and pilots
in command to be familiar with the AFM and installed placards
containing operating limitations(14 CFR 91.505).

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 153 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Action                  Labor cost        Parts cost     Cost per product   Cost on U.S.  operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Placard installation..........  1 work-hour x $85  Up to $117......  Up to $202......  Up to $30,906.
                                 per hour = $85.
AFM revision..................  1 work-hour x $85  $0..............  $85.............  $13,005.
                                 per hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2022-1304; Project Identifier AD-
2022-00347-T.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by January 23, 2023.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 767-300F
airplanes, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 11, Placards and
markings.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a report indicating that the
installation requirements were not followed for the first observer
seat in the flight deck. When the first observer seat, located in
front of the supernumerary seats, is in the furthest aft position on
the seat tracks the ``head path stay out zone'' is compromised. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which if not
addressed, could result in occupants seated in the right or center
supernumerary seats sustaining an injury during an emergency
landing.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Placard Installation

    Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this AD: At the
applicable time specified in the ``Compliance'' paragraph of Boeing
Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 767-25-0589 RB, dated
February 25, 2022, do all applicable actions identified in, and in
accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special
Attention Requirements Bulletin 767-25-0589 RB, dated February 25,
2022.
    Note 1 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing the actions
required by this AD can be found in Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 767-25-0589, dated February 25, 2022, which is referred to
in Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 767-25-0589 RB,
dated February 25, 2022.

(h) Exception to Service Information Specifications

    Where the Compliance Time column of the table in the
``Compliance'' paragraph of Boeing Special Attention Requirements
Bulletin 767-25-0589 RB, dated February 25, 2022, uses the phrase
``the original issue date of Requirements Bulletin 767-25-0589 RB,''
this AD requires using ``the effective date of this AD.''

(i) Revision of Existing Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)

    Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, revise
Section 3.1 of the Normal Procedures Section of the existing AFM to
include the information in figure 1 to paragraph (i) of this AD.
This may be done by inserting a copy of figure 1 to paragraph (i) of
this AD into the existing AFM.
