40 CFR Part 170

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0543; FRL-9803-01-OCSPP]

Pesticides; Agricultural Worker Protection Standard; Revision of
the Application Exclusion Zone Requirements; Court Order; Stay of
Effectiveness

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; court-ordered stay of effectiveness.

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

SUMMARY: On December 28, 2020, the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York issued an order in the case of State of
New York et al. v. United States Environmental Protection Agency, which
resulted in a stay of the effectiveness for an October 30, 2020 final
rule (2020 AEZ Rule) amending certain provisions of EPA's Agricultural
Worker Protection Standard (WPS) regulations under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) related to the
application exclusion zone (AEZ). Subsequent orders have extended this
stay of the effectiveness. Although the text of the Code of Federal
Regulations reflects the amendments to the AEZ provisions under the
2020 AEZ Rule, the district court's stay orders have prevented those
amendments from going into effect. Accordingly, the regulatory text
prior to the amendments provides the operative regulatory language
during the current stay and any future extensions of the stay.

DATES: As of February 15, 2022, the effectiveness of the final rule
published

at 85 FR 68760 (October 30, 2020) is stayed by court order until August
22, 2022. EPA intends to publish another document in the Federal
Register to address the status of the 2020 final rule if the stay of
effectiveness expires or is lifted, but the Agency does not intend to
publish additional Federal Register documents to announce any
additional court orders entered to further stay the effectiveness of
the 2020 final rule.

B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

    The docket for this announcement, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0543, is available at
https://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pesticide Programs
Regulatory Public Docket (OPP Docket) in the Environmental Protection
Agency Docket Center (EPA/DC), West William Jefferson Clinton Bldg.,
Rm. 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460-0001. The
Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through

II. Announcement of Court Order

    On December 28, 2020, the United States Southern District of New
York issued an order granting plaintiffs' request for a temporary
restraining order (TRO) and injunctive relief in the case of State of
New York et al. v. United States Environmental Protection Agency, Case
No. 1:20-cv-10642 (Ref. 1). The Court's order stayed the December 29,
2020 effective date of the 2020 AEZ Rule (Ref. 2) and enjoined all EPA
authorities who would otherwise take action to make the 2020 AEZ Rule
effective from doing so (Ref. 1). Following the December 2020 Order,
the Court has issued several additional stipulated orders further
extending the preliminary injunction staying the effectiveness of the
2020 AEZ Rule (Refs. 3-10). The most recent stipulated order, issued on
February 15, 2022, continues the stay of the effectiveness of the 2020
AEZ Rule through August 22, 2022. Additional stay orders may be entered
in the future.

III. Current Status of the WPS in Light of Court Orders

    In November 2015, the Agency finalized amendments to the WPS that
included the establishment of the AEZ and related provisions (2015 WPS)
(Ref. 11). The text of the 2015 WPS and the AEZ provisions within the
rule is available at 80 FR 67496 (November 2, 2015) (FRL-9931-81). As
described above, court orders have stayed the effectiveness of the 2020
AEZ Rule, which would have modified the AEZ provisions in the 2015 WPS,
until August 22, 2022. Additional court orders may extend this stay.
    Because the 2020 AEZ Rule has not taken effect, the AEZ provisions
from the 2015 WPS remain in effect and will continue to remain in
effect in the event of future stays of the effectiveness. Accordingly,
any enforcement activity by EPA officials and other authorities tasked
with enforcing the WPS should be conducted based on the AEZ
requirements in the 2015 WPS, until such time as a subsequent rule goes
into effect.

IV. Status of Rulemaking

    EPA has commenced a new rulemaking effort to address the AEZ and
anticipates issuing a proposal in 2022, which is identified in the
Semi-Annual Unified Regulatory Agenda under RIN 2070-AK92. As part of
the future proposed rulemaking, EPA intends to thoroughly review the
2020 AEZ Rule to determine the extent to which it is consistent with
the policies established in Executive Order 13990, entitled
``Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to
Tackle the Climate Crisis'' (86 FR 7037, January 25, 2021). Any final
rule resulted from this rulemaking process may modify content of the
2015 WPS, the 2020 AEZ Rule, or both.

Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for the New
York Portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT,
2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notification of adequacy; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the table posted in the
June 8, 2018, notification of adequacy of the motor vehicle emission
budgets (MVEB) for the New York portions of the New York-Northern New
Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. The MVEBs
were submitted by New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation as part of the SIP revision for the area's 2008 8-hour
ozone nonattainment area. The MVEB budget table in the original post
listed incorrect units for the actual MVEBs. The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), therefore, is correcting the table to show the
correct units.

DATES: This correction is effective on August 14, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hannah Greenberg, Environmental
Protection Agency Region 2, Air Programs Branch, 290 Broadway, 25th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a notification of adequacy on
June 8, 2018, (83 FR 26597) which found that the 2017 MVEBs for
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOX)
submitted by the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation for the 2008 NAAQS for ozone are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes for the New York portions of the New
York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area. In this document, EPA erroneously listed the 2017
MVEB units as tons per year. The actual 2017 MVEB units are tons per
day. Therefore, the table is being corrected to list the correct units.

Correction

    In the notification of adequacy published in the Federal Register
on June 8, 2018 (83 FR 26597), on page 26598, in the second column, the

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

In the Matter of Biomaxx Systems, Inc.; Order of Suspension of
Trading

September 24, 2007.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that the
market for securities of Biomaxx Systems, Inc. (``Biomaxx,'' trading
symbol BMXSF), may be reacting to manipulative forces or deceptive
practices and that there is insufficient current public information
about the issuer upon which an informed investment decision may be
made, particularly concerning (1) the identity of and prior securities
fraud judgments against persons who appear to be involved in the offer
and sale, or in connection with the purchase or sale, of Biomaxx
shares; (2) the financial performance and business prospects of
Biomaxx; and (3) offerings to foreign investors and any restrictions on
the resale of shares.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.

    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the above-listed
company is suspended for the period of 9:30 a.m. EDT, September 24,
2007 through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on October 5, 2007.

    By the Commission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Pima County Board of Supervisors adopted PCC Section 17.16.125 on January 22, 2019, with an effective date
  of February 21, 2019.
\2\ ADEQ submitted PCC Section 17.16.125 as part of a larger SIP revision submittal titled ``SIP Revision: Ajo
  PM10 Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan (May 3, 2019)'' (herein referred to as the ``Ajo PM10 SIP'').
  More specifically, appendix C of the Ajo PM10 SIP includes PCC Section 17.16.125 and the related adoption
  materials. ADEQ submitted the Ajo PM10 SIP electronically on May 10, 2019, under cover of a transmittal letter
  dated May 8, 2019. Herein, EPA is taking final action on the PCC Section 17.16.125 portion of the Ajo PM10
  SIP. The EPA is taking action on the rest of the Ajo PM10 Plan in a separate action (85 FR 34381 (June 4,
  2020)).

    We proposed to approve these rules because we determined that they
comply with the relevant CAA requirements. More specifically, with
respect to MCAQD Rule 316, we previously determined that the rule
implemented Best Available Control Measures for nonmetallic mineral
processing within the Phoenix planning area, and we find that the 2018
amendments to the rule relax no control requirements and generally
clarify and enhance the effectiveness of the rule. With respect to Pima
County Code (PCC) Section 17.16.125, we find that the rule provides a
means to ensure the permanence and enforceability of the fugitive dust
controls that have already been implemented in the Ajo PM10
planning area and that have brought the area into attainment of the
Particulate Matter equal to or less than 10 microns in diameter
(PM10) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Our
proposed action and related technical support documents (TSDs) contain
more information on the rules and our evaluation.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received no comments.

III. EPA Action

    Pursuant to section 110(k)(3) of the CAA, and for the reasons
discussed in detail in our proposed rule and TSDs, and summarized
above, the EPA is fully approving MCAQD Rule 316, as submitted on
November 19, 2018, and PCC Section 17.16.125, as submitted on May 10,
2019, as revisions to the Arizona SIP.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the

incorporation by reference of the MCAQD and PCDEQ rules described in
the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. Therefore, these
materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have
been incorporated by reference by the EPA into that plan, are fully
federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the
effective date of the final rulemaking of the EPA's approval, and will
be incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP
compilation.\3\ The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region
IX Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

    \3\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by September 14, 2020. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0307; Project Identifier AD-2021-00407-T;
Amendment 39-21513; AD 2021-08-19]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-02-
19, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, -9, and -
10 airplanes. AD 2021-02-19 required repetitive general visual
inspections for disengaged or damaged decompression panels of the bilge
barriers located in the forward and aft cargo compartments,
reinstallation of disengaged but undamaged panels, and replacement of
damaged panels. This AD was prompted by reports of multiple incidents
of torn decompression panels found in the bilge area, and the
determination that additional airplanes are subject to the unsafe
condition. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2021-02-19 and
revises the applicability by including additional airplanes. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective May 5, 2021.
    The FAA must receive comments on this AD by June 4, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket
Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
     Hand Delivery: Deliver to Mail address above between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0307; or in person at
Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this final rule, any
comments received, and other information. The street address for the
Docket Operations is listed above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2021-02-19, Amendment 39-21402 (86 FR 10171,
February 19, 2021) (AD 2021-02-19), for certain Boeing Model 787-8, -9,
and -10 airplanes. AD 2021-02-19 required repetitive general visual
inspections for disengaged or damaged decompression panels of the bilge
barriers located in the forward and aft cargo compartments,
reinstallation of disengaged but undamaged panels, and replacement of
damaged panels. AD 2021-02-19 was prompted by reports of multiple
incidents of torn decompression panels found in the bilge area. The FAA
issued AD 2021-02-19 to address the possibility of leakage in the bilge
area, which could, in the event of a cargo fire, result in insufficient
Halon concentrations to adequately control the fire. This condition, if
not addressed, could result in the loss of continued safe flight and
landing of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2021-02-19 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2021-02-19, the agency received new
information indicating that additional airplanes may be subject to the
unsafe condition. The applicability of AD 2021-02-19 was limited to
airplanes having bilge assemblies with certain decompression panels.
Certain other decompression panels were inadvertently omitted from the
applicability. The FAA determined that all of the decompression panel
part numbers may be subject to damage (tearing) or becoming disengaged.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other
products of the same type design.

AD Requirements

    This AD retains all requirements of AD 2021-02-19 and revises the
applicability to include all Model 787-8, -9, and -10 airplanes.

Explanation of Serviceable Part

    This AD requires replacing damaged decompression panels with new or
serviceable parts. For purposes of this AD, a serviceable part is
airworthy and eligible for installation. While the part does not need
to be new, it must conform to type design and be in condition for safe
operation. A decompression panel repaired using an approved maintenance
program is considered serviceable.

MEL Provision

    Paragraph (h) of this AD specifies that if any decompression panel
is disengaged or damaged, the airplane may be operated as specified in
the operator's existing FAA-approved minimum equipment list (MEL),
provided provisions that address the damaged or disengaged
decompression panels are included in the MEL.

Explanation of Revised Repetitive Interval

    The repetitive inspection interval required by AD 2021-02-19 was
120 days. This repetitive interval has been changed in this AD to 4
calendar months to better align the interval with routine operator
maintenance scheduling. This change will continue to provide an
adequate level of safety.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD to be an interim action. The manufacturer
is currently developing a modification that will address the unsafe
condition identified in this AD. Once this modification is developed,
approved, and available, the FAA might consider additional rulemaking.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance.

Further, section 553(d) of the APA authorizes agencies to make rules
effective in less than thirty days, upon a finding of good cause.
    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies forgoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because leakage in the bilge area could, in the event of a cargo fire,
result in insufficient Halon concentrations to adequately control the
fire, and possible loss of continued safe flight and landing of the
airplane. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment
are impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
    In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days,
for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forgo notice and
comment.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0307 and Project Identifier
AD-2021-00407-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, 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 final rule 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
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.

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 AD 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 AD, 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 AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Brandon
Lucero, Aerospace Engineer, Cabin Safety and Environmental Systems
Section, FAA, Seattle ACO Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA
98198; phone and fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any
commentary that the FAA receives that is not specifically designated as
CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment,
RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 222 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
inspection. The FAA has no way of determining the number of aircraft
that might need these replacements:

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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by:
0
a. Removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-02-19, Amendment 39-21402
(86 FR 10171, February 19, 2021); and
0
b. Adding the following new AD:

2021-08-19 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-21513 ; Docket No. FAA-
2021-0307; Project Identifier AD-2021-00407-T.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective May 5, 2021.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2021-02-19, Amendment 39-21402 (86 FR 10171,
February 19, 2021) (AD 2021-02-19).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 787-8, -9, and -
10 airplanes, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 26, Fire
protection.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of multiple incidents of torn
decompression panels being found in the bilge area and the
determination that additional airplanes are subject to the unsafe
condition. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the possibility of
leakage in the bilge area, which could, in the event of a cargo
fire, result in insufficient Halon concentrations to adequately
control the fire. This condition, if not addressed, could result in
the loss of continued safe flight and landing of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Repetitive Inspections and Corrective Action

    At the applicable times specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (2) of
this AD: Do a general visual inspection for disengaged or damaged
(torn) decompression panels of the bilge barriers located in the
forward and aft cargo compartments. If any disengaged but undamaged
panel is found: Before further flight, reinstall the panel. If any
damaged panel is found: Before further flight, replace the panel
with a new or serviceable panel. Reinstallations and replacements
must be done in accordance with the operator's maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable.
    (1) If a general visual inspection for disengaged or damaged
(torn) decompression panels of the bilge barriers was done before
the effective date of this AD: Do the next inspection within 4
calendar months after the most recent inspection. Repeat the
inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 4 calendar months.
    (2) If a general visual inspection for disengaged or damaged
(torn) decompression panels of the bilge barriers was not done
before the effective date of this AD: Do the initial inspection
within 30 days after the effective date of this AD. Repeat the
inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 4 calendar months.

(h) MEL Provisions

    If any decompression panel inspected as required by this AD is
disengaged or damaged, the airplane may be operated as specified in
the operator's existing FAA-approved minimum equipment list (MEL),
provided provisions that address the disengaged or damaged
decompression panels are included in the MEL.

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Seattle ACO Branch, 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 responsible Flight Standards Office,
as appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of
the certification office, send it to the attention of the person
identified in Related Information. 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 responsible Flight Standards Office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by The Boeing Company Organization Designation
Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Seattle
ACO Branch, FAA, to make those findings. To be approved, the repair
method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation must meet
the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
