AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Boeing Model 747–400 and –400D series 

airplanes. This AD requires installing 

new relays to allow the flightcrew to 

turn off electrical power to the in-flight 

entertainment (IFE) system and other 

non-essential passenger cabin systems 

through the left and right utility bus 

switches, and other specified actions. 

This AD results from an IFE systems 

review. We are issuing this AD to ensure 

that the flightcrew is able to turn off 

electrical power to the IFE system and 

other non-essential passenger cabin 

systems through utility bus switches in 

the flight compartment, in the event of 

smoke or fumes. The flightcrew’s 

inability to turn off electrical power to 

the IFE system and other non-essential 

passenger cabin systems could result in 

the inability to control smoke or fumes 

in the airplane flight deck or passenger 

cabin during a non-normal or 

emergency situation. 

DATES: This AD is effective August 25, 

2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of August 25, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an airworthiness 

directive (AD) that would apply to 

certain Boeing Model 747–400 and 

–400D series airplanes. That NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 16, 2007 (72 FR 45968). That 

NPRM proposed to require installing 

new relays to allow the flightcrew to 

turn off electrical power to the in-flight 

entertainment (IFE) system and other 

non-essential passenger cabin systems 

through the left and right utility bus 

switches, and other specified actions. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comments received from 

the three commenters. 

Support for the NPRM 

Inflight Canada (IFC) strongly 

supports the intent of the NPRM. 

Request To Clarify Service Bulletin 

Instructions 

Boeing requests that we clarify, in the 

‘‘Relevant Service Information’’ section 

of the NPRM, that Boeing Service 

Bulletin 747–24–2246, dated October 6, 

2005, provides procedures for turning 

off 28 VDC power to the IFE system. 

Boeing states that all Model 747–400 

series airplanes have 115 VAC control, 

and that representing the proposed 

actions as addressing electrical power, 

in general, might be misleading to 

operators regarding the scope of the 

action. 

We agree to provide clarification. We 

understand that operators are able to 

turn off 115 VAC power under the 

existing configuration for Model 747 

series airplanes, and that Boeing Service 

Bulletin 747–24–2246, dated October 6, 

2005, provides changes to also allow for 

turning off 28 VDC power. Therefore, 

the wording of the NPRM is appropriate 

and not misleading, since the intent of 

this AD is to ensure that all electrical 

power is removed from the affected 

systems through the use of the right and 

left utility bus switches. No change to 

the AD is necessary in this regard. 

Request To Clarify Instructions for 

Airplanes Modified After Delivery 

Boeing requests that we clarify, in the 

‘‘Relevant Service Information’’ section 

of the NPRM, that instructions in Boeing 

service bulletins are based upon the 

delivered product configuration. Boeing 

states that it is not obvious to operators 

that post-production modifications to 

the IFE system might require an 

alternative method of compliance 

(AMOC) to comply with the 

requirements of the AD. 

We agree that operators might not be 

able to accomplish the requirements of 

this AD on airplanes that have been 

modified or altered after airplane 

delivery. Section 39.17 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.17) 

specifically addresses this situation. If a 

change in a product affects one’s ability 

to accomplish the actions required by an 

AD, then a request for FAA approval of 

an AMOC addressing that configuration 

must be submitted in accordance with 

the procedures specified in paragraph 

(g) of this AD. According to 14 CFR 

39.17, the request should include the 

specific actions that are proposed to 

address the unsafe condition, unless one 

can show that the change eliminated the 

unsafe condition. No change to the AD 

is necessary in this regard. 

Request To Remove Certain Airplanes 

From the Applicability 

Lufthansa states that it has installed 

two additional Heath Techna power 

distribution panels (P94 and P9100) on 

all of its affected airplanes, in 

accordance with Supplemental Type 

Certificate (STC) ST01507SE, issued 

February 11, 2005, amended September 

7, 2006. Lufthansa states that, on these 

modified airplanes, power can be turned 

off by right and left utility bus switches 

located in the cockpit. Lufthansa also 

states that, additionally, the cabin crew 

is able to turn off power to the IFE and 

passenger seats using a master switch 

located in the purser station of the 

cabin. Since the modification addresses 

the intent of the NPRM, Lufthansa has 

asked Boeing to remove all of 

Lufthansa’s airplanes from the 

effectivity of Boeing Service Bulletin 

747–24–2246, dated October 6, 2005. 

We refer to that service bulletin for the 

applicability of this AD. 

We infer that Lufthansa requests that 

we remove airplanes modified in 

accordance with STC ST01507SE from 

the applicability of this AD. We disagree 

with revising the applicability of this 

AD because we have determined that, 

based upon the delivered airplane 

configuration, the unsafe condition of 

this AD applies to the airplanes 

identified in the effectivity of Boeing 

Service Bulletin 747–24–2246, dated 

October 6, 2005. STC ST01507SE, at the 

time of its issuance, was not evaluated 

as an AMOC to the requirements of this 

AD. The design and installation aspects 

of the STC must be reviewed under an 

AMOC request submitted by either the 

STC applicant or the operator. Under 

the provisions of paragraph (g) of this 

AD, we will consider requests for 

approval of an AMOC if sufficient data 

are submitted to substantiate that the 

design change would provide an 

acceptable level of safety. We have not 

changed the AD in this regard. 

Recommendation To Consider This AD 

an Interim Action 

IFC recommends that we consider the 

requirements of this AD an interim 

action. IFC states the final action for 

eliminating the unsafe condition should 

be to move the components and wire 

bundles from the cabin area to areas 

where they will not be subjected to 

damage and abuse. IFC states that the 

cabin sidewalls and the area under the 

cabin floor offer much safer 

environments for these items. 

We disagree with considering this AD 

an interim action. The intent of the AD 

is to address the unsafe condition, not 

to provide design guidelines for 

installation of the IFE system. We have 

determined that the requirements of this 

AD adequately address the unsafe 

condition. Should new reports or data 

arise that show that the unsafe 

condition has not been adequately 

addressed by the requirements of this 

AD, we could consider further 

rulemaking. No change to the AD is 

necessary in this regard. 

Recommendation To Remove Power 

From All Components in the Cabin 

IFC recommends that the requirement 

to be able to remove power from the IFE 

system be expanded to include all 

components using power in the 

passenger cabin. IFC states that, in most 

cases, the In Seat Power Systems (ISPS) 

and seat adjustment systems carry much 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 138 / Tuesday, July 21, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 35791 

higher power loads than do the IFE 

components. 

We disagree that the scope of the AD 

needs to be expanded because the ISPS 

and seat adjustment systems are 

addressed already as other non-essential 

cabin systems in Boeing Service 

Bulletin 747–24–2246, dated October 6, 

2005. No change to the AD is necessary 

in this regard. 

Recommendation To Locate Primary 

Switch in the Passenger Cabin 

IFC recommends that the primary 

switch to isolate the IFE system and 

other non-essential cabin systems be 

located in the cabin, rather than in the 

cockpit. IFC states that, in most cases, 

the cabin crew will be the first to notice 

a problem, and that the additional time 

needed to notify the flightcrew will 

allow the problem to worsen if not 

immediately addressed by the trained 

cabin crew. IFC states that, if desired, a 

secondary switch could also be located 

in the cockpit. 

We disagree because Boeing’s design 

approach adequately addresses the 

unsafe condition; the flightcrew can 

shut off power to any non-essential 

system in the event of smoke or fire in 

the flight deck or passenger cabin. 

However, under the provisions of 

paragraph (g) of this AD, we will 

consider requests for approval of an 

AMOC if sufficient data are submitted to 

substantiate that the design change 

would provide an acceptable level of 

safety. We have not changed the AD in 

this regard. 

Recommendation to Automatically 

Turn Off Power in an Emergency 

IFC recommends that the system, 

which will provide the IFE shut-off 

capability, also be required to 

automatically turn off power in the 

event of certain emergencies, such as 

deployment of oxygen masks or loss of 

a generator. IFC states that this 

capability would allow the flightcrew 

and cabin crew to perform more 

important tasks without having to be 

concerned with turning off power to the 

IFE system. 

We disagree with requiring the system 

to automatically turn off power to the 

IFE system and other non-essential 

cabin systems in the event of certain 

emergencies because, currently, there is 

no regulatory requirement to have 

power turned off automatically. We are 

issuing this AD to address a specific 

unsafe condition, and the areas 

discussed by IFC fall outside the 

requirements of this AD. We have not 

changed the AD in this regard. 

Recommendation To Allow Operators 

To Develop Other Solutions 

IFC states that Boeing Service Bulletin 

747–24–2246, dated October 6, 2005, 

which is referenced as the only 

acceptable means of complying with the 

intent of the NPRM, provides only 

limited protection from the myriad of 

electrical hazards in the cabin. IFC 

recommends that we establish the 

desired functionality of a system for 

dealing with the electrical hazards, and 

then allow operators to develop 

workable solutions using these in 

combination with other designs to meet 

the requirements. 

We disagree because we are issuing 

this AD to address a specific unsafe 

condition, and we have determined that 

the service information that is currently 

available adequately addresses that 

unsafe condition. However, under the 

provisions of paragraph (g) of this AD, 

we will consider requests for approval 

of an AMOC if sufficient data are 

submitted to substantiate that the design 

change would provide an acceptable 

level of safety. We have not changed the 

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 the AD 

as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

There are about 490 airplanes of the 

affected design in the worldwide fleet. 

This AD affects about 62 airplanes of 

U.S. registry. The required actions take 

about 123 work hours per airplane, at an 

average labor rate of $80 per work hour. 

Required parts cost between $9,412 and 

$11,936 per airplane. Based on these 

figures, the estimated cost of the AD for 

U.S. operators is up to $1,350,112, or up 

to $21,776 per airplane. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. ‘‘Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs,’’ describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: 

General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

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), and 

(3) 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. 

You can find our regulatory 

evaluation and the estimated costs of 

compliance in the AD Docket.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This establishes, amends, 

suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of the adoption of new 

or revised criteria, or because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, adding new 

obstacles, or changing air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective July 21, 

2009. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of July 21, 

2009.
