     Mail or Hand Delivery: Docket Management Facility, U.S.
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, West Building,
Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except on Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Barbara Rhea, State Data Reporting
Systems Division (NSA-120), Room W53-304, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE,
Washington, DC 20590. Ms. Rhea can also be reached via email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or via phone at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Please identify the
relevant collection of information by referring to its OMB Control
Number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) Information
Collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0006.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection of
information.
    Abstract: Under both the Highway Safety Act of 1966 and the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-563,
Title 1, Sec. 106, 108, and 112) the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) has the responsibility to collect accident data
that support the establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle
regulations and highway safety programs. These regulations and programs
are developed to reduce fatalities and the property damage associated
with motor vehicle crashes. NHTSA established cooperative agreements
with the 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to report
a standard set of data on each fatal accident. State employees extract
and transcribe information from existing State files including police
accident crash reports as well as driver license, vehicle registration,
highway department, and vital statistics files. This information
comprises a national database, Fatality Analysis Reporting System
(FARS), that is NHTSA's and many States' principal means of tracking
trends in fatalities and quantifying problems or potential problems in
highway safety.
    Because FARS is an on-going data acquisition system, reviews are
conducted yearly to determine whether the data acquired are responsive
to the total user population needs. FARS data are used extensively by
all the NHTSA program and research offices and other DOT modes such as
Federal Highway Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration. Annual changes in the data collected in FARS are minor
in terms of operation and method of data acquisition and do not affect
the reporting burden of the respondent (State employees utilize
existing State crash files). The changes usually involve clarifying
adjustments to aid statisticians in conducting more precise analyses
and to remove potential ambiguity for the respondents.
    Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 52.
    Frequency: On-going.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 106,244 hours.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (i) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the Department's
performance; (ii) if the information will have practical utility; (iii)
the accuracy of the estimated burden of the proposed information
collection; (iv) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected; and (v) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on respondents including the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in
the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0566; FRL-9977-81-OAR]

Release of Final Documents Related to the Review of the Primary
National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Sulfur Oxides

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the
availability of two final documents titled, Risk and Exposure
Assessment for the Review of the Primary National Ambient Air Quality
Standard for Sulfur Oxides (REA) and Policy Assessment for the Review
of the Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Sulfur Oxides
(PA). The indicator for the current standard is sulfur dioxide
(SO2). The REA describes the quantitative analyses of
SO2 exposures and health risks in this NAAQS review.
Building on the Integrated Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides--Health
Criteria (ISA), completed in December 2017, the PA serves to ``bridge
the gap'' between the scientific information and the judgments required
of the Administrator in determining whether to retain or revise the
existing primary NAAQS for SO2.

DATES: The REA and PA will be made available on or about May 9, 2018.

ADDRESSES: These documents will be available primarily via the internet
at https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/sulfur-dioxide-so2-primary-air-quality-standards.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Nicole Hagan, Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards (Mail Code C504-06), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; telephone number:
919-541-3153; fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Two sections of the Clean Air Act govern the
establishment and revision of the NAAQS. Section 108 (42 U.S.C. 7408)
directs the Administrator to identify and list certain air pollutants
and then to issue air quality criteria for those pollutants. The
Administrator is to list those air pollutants that in his ``judgment,
cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be
anticipated to endanger public health or welfare''; ``the presence of
which in the ambient air results from numerous or diverse mobile or
stationary sources''; and ``for which . . . [the Administrator] plans
to issue air quality criteria . . .'' (42 U.S.C. 7408(a)(1)(A)(C)). Air
quality criteria are intended to ``accurately reflect the latest
scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all
identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be expected
from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air . . .'' (42
U.S.C. 7408(a)(2)). Under section 109 (42 U.S.C. 7409), the EPA
establishes primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS
for pollutants for which air quality criteria are issued. Section
109(d) requires periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of
existing air quality criteria. The revised air quality criteria reflect
advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on
public health or welfare. The EPA is also required to periodically
review and revise the NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the revised
criteria. Section 109(d)(2) requires that an independent scientific
review committee ``shall complete a review of the criteria . . . and
the national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards . . .
and shall recommend to the Administrator any new . . . standards and
revisions of the existing criteria and standards as may be appropriate
. . . .'' Since the early 1980s, this independent review function has
been performed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC).
    The current periodic review of the air quality criteria and primary
NAAQS for SOX began in 2013. The final ISA, prepared for
this review by the EPA's Office of Research and Development, was made
available in December 2017 (82 FR 58600).\1\ The REA and PA build upon
information presented in the ISA. Drafts of the REA and PA were
reviewed by the CASAC SOX Panel at a public meeting held on
September 18-19, 2017, and a teleconference on April 20, 2018, and were
made available for public comment. The CASAC's advice on the draft
documents were provided in letters to the EPA Administrator dated April
30, 2018.\2\ The final versions of the REA and PA reflect staff's
consideration of the advice and comments from CASAC, as well as public
comments. The final REA and PA are available at https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/sulfur-dioxide-so2-primary-air-quality-standards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On November 2, 2017, at 82 FR 50849, the Federal Register published
our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Agusta Model AW189
helicopters with certain part-numbered and serial-numbered EFS float
assemblies installed. The NPRM proposed to require inspecting each
float bag for punctures, replacing the pressure relief/topping (PRT)
valve O-ring part number

(P/N) P-G10025 with a PRT valve gasket P/N 316683A, and replacing the
inflate/deflate protection P/N 304694A with inflate/deflate protection
P/N 304694B. The NPRM also proposed to require repairing the float bag
if there are any cuts, tears, punctures, or abrasion on a float bag.
The proposed requirements were intended to prevent a punctured EFS
float bag, which could result in loss of buoyancy of an EFS float bag
while being used in an emergency water ditching and subsequent injury
to helicopter occupants.
    The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 2016-0263-E, dated December 22,
2016 (AD 2016-0263-E), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for
the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition
for Leonardo S.p.A. Helicopters (previously Agusta) Model AW189
helicopters. EASA advises that during the first scheduled maintenance
of an EFS kit, float bags were found punctured due to protruding parts
of the pressure relief/topping valves that were not adequately
protected. EASA further states that this condition could result in a
partial loss of buoyancy of the EFS float bags, possibly resulting in
injury to the helicopter's occupants in a ditching event. To prevent
this unsafe condition, EASA AD 2016-0263-E requires a one-time
inspection of the EFS, repair of any discrepancies found, replacing the
pressure relief/topping valve O-ring with a gasket, and replacing the
inflate/deflate protection with a new design inflate/deflate
protection.
    The FAA is in the process of updating Agusta's name change to
Leonardo Helicopters on its type certificate. Because this name change
is not yet effective, this AD specifies Agusta.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we did not receive any comments on the NPRM.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Italy and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Italy, EASA, its technical representative,
has notified us of the unsafe condition described in the EASA AD. We
are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by
EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist
or develop on other helicopters of the same type design and that air
safety and the public interest require adopting the AD requirements as
proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires compliance within 15 hours time-in-service
(TIS) or 10 days for helicopters flying overwater above sea state 4 or
within 120 hours or 60 days for helicopters operating overwater up to
sea state 4. This AD requires compliance within 120 hours TIS
regardless of sea state conditions.

Related Service Information

    We reviewed Leonardo Helicopters Bollettino Tecnico No. 189-135,
dated December 20, 2016 (BT 189-135), and Aero Sekur Service Bulletin
No. SB-189-25-003, dated November 30, 2016 (SB-189-25-003), which is
attached to BT 189-135 as Annex A. BT 189-135 specifies following the
procedures in SB-189-25-003 to inspect and modify certain EFS kits
installed on Model AW189 helicopters.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects two helicopters of U.S. Registry.
We estimate that operators will incur the following costs in order to
comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour.
Inspecting each float bag, replacing the PRT valve gasket, and
replacing the inflate/deflate protection require about 40 work-hours,
and required parts cost about $500, for a cost per helicopter of $3,900
and a cost of $7,800 for the U.S. fleet. If required, repairing a float
bag will require about 2 work-hours, and required parts cost about $90,
for a cost per float bag of $260.

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 helicopters 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;
    (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 to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-13-16,
which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -
800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes. AD 2016-13-16 required an
inspection or records check to determine if affected horizontal
stabilizers are installed, related investigative actions, and, for
affected horizontal stabilizers, repetitive inspections for any crack
of the horizontal stabilizer rear spar upper chord, and corrective
action if necessary. This AD requires retaining the requirements of AD
2016-13-16, with revised service information that clarifies the
inspection areas and serial number information of the horizontal
stabilizer. This AD was prompted by reports of a manufacturing
oversight, in which a supplier omitted the required protective finish
on certain bushings installed in the rear spar upper chord on
horizontal stabilizers, which could lead to galvanic corrosion and
consequent cracking of the rear spar upper chord. We are issuing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 19, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 19,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2016-13-16, Amendment 39-18581 (81 FR 44503,
July 8, 2016) (``AD 2016-13-16''). AD 2016-13-16 applied to all The
Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER
series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 15,
2018 (83 FR 22417). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that
clarification of inspection areas and serial number information of the
horizontal stabilizer is necessary and reports of a manufacturing
oversight, in which a supplier omitted the required protective finish
on certain bushings installed in the rear spar upper chord on
horizontal stabilizers, which could lead to galvanic corrosion and
consequent cracking of the rear spar upper chord. The NPRM proposed to
continue to require an inspection or records check to determine if
affected horizontal stabilizers are installed, related investigative
actions, and, for affected horizontal stabilizers, repetitive
inspections for any crack of the horizontal stabilizer rear spar upper
chord, and corrective action if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to
clarify the inspection areas and serial number information of the
horizontal stabilizer. We are issuing this AD to address cracking of
the rear spar upper chord, which could result in the failure of the
upper chord, consequent departure of the horizontal stabilizer from the
airplane, and loss of control of the airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment. Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA), Boeing, and United Airlines stated that they
supported the NPRM.

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that accomplishing the supplemental
type certificate (STC) ST00830SE does not affect the actions specified
in the NPRM.
    We concur with the commenter. We have redesignated paragraph (c) of
the proposed AD as paragraph (c)(1) of this AD and added paragraph
(c)(2) to this AD to state that installation of STC ST00830SE does not
affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD.
Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST00830SE is installed, a
``change in product'' alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval
request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR
39.17.

Request To Review Parts Installation Limitations Paragraph

    Southwest Airlines (SWA) requested that we review the ``Parts
Installation Limitation'' paragraph in the proposed AD. SWA stated that
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision

1, dated September 20, 2017, specifies that an operator can either do a
check of delivery and maintenance records to find the serial number of
the horizontal stabilizer installed on the airplane during production
and to determine if the horizontal stabilizer has been exchanged, or an
operator can gain access to the horizontal stabilizer identification
plate and do an inspection of the identification plate to find the
serial numbers of the horizontal stabilizers.
    SWA stated that it does not agree with the use of maintenance
records to validate serial numbers based on the potential error of not
recording the full serial number (manufacturer code and serial number)
from the identification plate within the maintenance record
documentation. SWA commented that it has determined that the delivery
record and physical verification are correct methods in confirming that
the serial numbers are installed.
    We partially agree with the commenter's request. We have reviewed
the effectiveness of performing a records check. We disagree with the
commenter that a records check is not a valid method and note that it
is acceptable for complying with certain actions required by paragraph
(g) of this AD. As specified in Note 17 of paragraph 3.A., ``General
Information'' of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision 1, dated September 20, 2017, ``A
check of the airplane maintenance and delivery records is an acceptable
method to determine if the left and right horizontal stabilizers are
affected provided the installed components can be conclusively
determined from that check.'' We agree that if an operator is not
confident that it cannot positively identify the affected stabilizers
by using maintenance records, then this method should not be used. In
addition, Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision 1, dated
September 20, 2017, specifies a check of delivery and maintenance
records with a table for the affected manufacturer code and serial
number combination to ensure all the affected parts are captured.
    In regards to the ``Parts Installation Limitation'' paragraph in
this AD, there is no option to do a check of the airplane maintenance
and delivery records. As specified in paragraph (i)(1) of this AD, a
horizontal stabilizer may be installed if the part is inspected in
accordance with ``Part 2: Horizontal Stabilizer Identification Plate
Inspection'' of the Accomplishments Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision 1, dated September 20, 2017, and
no affected serial number is found. As specified in paragraph (i)(2) of
this AD, a horizontal stabilizer may be installed if the part is
inspected in accordance with ``Part 2: Horizontal Stabilizer
Identification Plate Inspection'' of the Accomplishments Instructions
of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision 1, dated
September 20, 2017, and an affected serial number is found, provided
the actions specified in paragraphs (i)(2)(i) and (i)(2)(ii) of this AD
are done, as applicable. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

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 change described previously, and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision 1,
dated September 20, 2017. This service information describes procedures
for an identification plate inspection or records check to determine
whether affected horizontal stabilizers are installed, related
investigative actions, and for affected horizontal stabilizers,
repetitive high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections for any crack
of the horizontal stabilizer rear spar upper chord, and corrective
action. 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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 1,748 airplanes 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
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
    According to the manufacturer, all of the costs of this 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 available 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.
    This 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 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
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 removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2016-13-16, Amendment 39-18581 (81 FR 44503, July 8, 2016), and adding
the following new AD:

2018-23-09 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-19495; Docket No. FAA-
2018-0408; Product Identifier 2017-NM-146-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective December 19, 2018.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2016-13-16, Amendment 39-18581 (81 FR 44503,

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -
700, -700C, -800, -900, and 900ER series airplanes, certificated in
any category.
    (2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
ST00830SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions
required by this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST00830SE
is installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with
the requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 55, Stabilizers.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of a manufacturing oversight, in
which a supplier omitted the required protective finish on certain
bushings installed in the rear spar upper chord on horizontal
stabilizers, which could lead to galvanic corrosion and consequent
cracking of the rear spar upper chord. We are issuing this AD to
address cracking of the rear spar upper chord, which could result in
the failure of the upper chord, consequent departure of the
horizontal stabilizer from the airplane, and loss of control of the
airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Required Actions

    Except as required by paragraph (h) of this AD: At the
applicable times specified in paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision 1, dated

(required for compliance) in, and in accordance with, the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-
55A1097, Revision 1, dated September 20, 2017.

(h) Exceptions to Service Information

    (1) For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements
of this AD: Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-55A1097,
Revision 1, dated September 20, 2017, uses the phrase ``the Revision
1 date of this service bulletin,'' this AD requires using ``the
effective date of this AD.''
    (2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision 1,
dated September 20, 2017, specifies contacting Boeing, and specifies
that action as RC: This AD requires repair using a method approved
in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (k) of this
AD.

(i) Parts Installation Limitations

    As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install a
horizontal stabilizer on any airplane, except as specified in
paragraphs (i)(1) or (i)(2) of this AD.
    (1) A horizontal stabilizer may be installed if the part is
inspected in accordance with ``Part 2: Horizontal Stabilizer
Identification Plate Inspection'' of the Accomplishments
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision
1, dated September 20, 2017, and no affected serial number is found.
    (2) A horizontal stabilizer may be installed if the part is

specified in paragraph (g) of this AD.
    (ii) All applicable corrective actions, which are part of the
required actions specified in paragraph (g) of this AD, are done
within the compliance times specified in paragraph (g) of this AD.

(j) Credit for Previous Actions

    For Groups 1 and 2, Configuration 1 airplanes, as identified in
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision 1, dated
September 20, 2017: This paragraph provides credit for the actions
specified in paragraph (g) of this AD, if those actions were
performed before the effective date of this AD using Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-55A1097, dated July 1, 2015.

(k) 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 local Flight Standards District
Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to the
manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of the
person identified in paragraph (l)(1) of this AD. Information may be

    (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, modification, or alteration 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 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.
    (4) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2016-13-16 are approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-55A1097, Revision 1, dated September 20, 2017, that are
required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
    (5) Except as required by paragraph (h)(2) of this AD: For
service information that contains steps that are labeled as Required
for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs (k)(5)(i) and

    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC

Hi Mary and Danielle,

As discussed during our meeting on August 18, I am attaching three
Section 114 survey documents for your review and comment.  Since these
are draft documents we may still make some changes but I think they will
be minor, formatting revisions at this point so this should give you a
good idea of what we are looking for.  Let us know of any areas needing
clarification.  Also, let me know if providing your comments/questions
on the draft survey by September 26 is reasonable.

Lastly, at some time in the next month or so, I will be transferring
this project to Jodi Howard.  For the time being, just send any emails
to both of us.  I've provided Jodi's contact information as well.
