Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Model 777 Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

AD would require revising the 

maintenance program to update 

inspection requirements to detect 

fatigue cracking of principal structural 

elements (PSEs). This proposed AD was 

prompted by a new revision to the 

airworthiness limitations of the 

maintenance planning document. We 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2011 / Proposed Rules 3055 

are proposing this AD to ensure that 

fatigue cracking of various PSEs is 

detected and corrected; such fatigue 

cracking could adversely affect the 

structural integrity of these airplanes.

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

In accordance with airworthiness 

standards requiring ‘‘damage-tolerance 

assessments’’ (Part 25 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations, Section 1529), all 

products certificated to comply with 

that section must have Instructions for 

Continued Airworthiness that include 

an Airworthiness Limitations Section 

(AWLs). The AWLs set forth: 

• Mandatory replacement times for 

structural components, 

• Structural inspection intervals, and 

• Related approved structural 

inspection procedures necessary to 

show compliance with the damagetolerance requirements. 

Compliance with the terms specified 

in the AWLs is required by 14 CFR 

43.16 (for persons maintaining 

products) and 14 CFR 91.403 (for 

operators). 

As airplanes gain service experience, 

or as the result of post-certification 

testing and evaluation, it might become 

necessary to add additional life limits or 

structural inspections in order to ensure 

the continued structural integrity of the 

airplane. The manufacturer might revise 

the AWLs to include new or more 

restrictive life limits and inspections. 

However, in order to require compliance 

with those revised life limits and/or 

inspection intervals, the FAA must 

engage in rulemaking. Because loss of 

structural integrity would result in an 

unsafe condition, it is appropriate to 

impose these requirements through the 

airworthiness directive (AD) process. 

Boeing recently has completed 

extensive analyses and testing of fatigue 

cracking of principal structural elements 

(PSE) on Model 777 airplanes, which 

included: 

• Crack growth analysis, 

• Service experience analysis, 

• Crack growth testing, 

• Fatigue testing, and 

• Analysis of the effectiveness of 

applicable non-destructive inspection 

techniques to detect cracking and other 

anomalies. 

The results of the testing and analyses 

demonstrated the need to incorporate 

updated inspection requirements to 

detect fatigue cracking of PSEs. We are 

proposing this AD to ensure that fatigue 

cracking of various PSEs is detected and 

corrected; such fatigue cracking could 

adversely affect the structural integrity 

of these airplanes. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Subsection B, 

Airworthiness Limitations—Structural 

Inspections, of Section 9, of 

‘‘Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) and 

Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMRs),’’ D622W001–9, Revision 

January 2010, of the Boeing 777 

Maintenance Planning Data (MPD) 

Document. Subsection B of Section 9 

contains updated inspection 

requirements to detect fatigue cracking 

of PSEs. 

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 require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

will affect 153 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with 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. 

Regulatory Findings 

We 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) 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 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference,

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

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

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 

2011–0025; Directorate Identifier 2010– 

NM–208–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by March 7, 

2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to The Boeing 

Company Model 777–200, –200LR, –300, 

–300ER, and 777F series airplanes, 

certificated in any category, with an original 

airworthiness certificate or original export 

certificate of airworthiness issued before 

September 1, 2010. 

Note 1: Airplanes with an original 

airworthiness certificate or original export 

certificate of airworthiness issued on or after 

September 1, 2010, must already be in 

compliance with the airworthiness 

limitations (AWLs) specified in this AD 

because those limitations were applicable as 

part of the airworthiness certification of those 

airplanes. 

Note 2: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include new inspections. Compliance with 

these inspections is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired in 

the areas addressed by these inspections, the 

operator may not be able to accomplish the 

inspections described in the revisions. In this 

situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), 

the operator must request approval for an 

alternative method of compliance according 

to paragraph (i) of this AD. The request 

should include a description of changes to 

the required inspections that will ensure the 

continued damage tolerance of the affected 

structure. The FAA has provided guidance 

for this determination in Advisory Circular 

(AC) 25.1529–1. 

Subject 

(d) Joint Aircraft System Component 

(JASC)/Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Codes 27, Flight Controls; 28, Fuel; 

32, Landing Gear; 52, Doors; 53, Fuselage; 54, 

Nacelles/Pylons; 55, Stabilizers; 57, Wings. 

Unsafe Condition 

(e) This AD was prompted by a new 

revision to the airworthiness limitations of 

the maintenance planning document. We are 

issuing this AD to ensure that fatigue 

cracking of various principal structural 

elements (PSEs) is detected and corrected; 

such fatigue cracking could adversely affect 

the structural integrity of these airplanes. 

Compliance 

(f) Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

Revision of Maintenance Program 

(g) Within 12 months after the effective 

date of this AD, revise the maintenance 

program by incorporating the information in 

Subsection B, Airworthiness Limitations— 

Structural Inspections, of Section 9, of 

‘‘Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) and 

Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMRs),’’ D622W001–9, Revision January 

2010, of the Boeing 777 Maintenance 

Planning Data (MPD) Document. The initial 

compliance time for the inspections is within 

the applicable times specified in Subsection 

B, Airworthiness Limitations—Structural 

Inspections, of Section 9, of ‘‘Airworthiness 

Limitations (AWLs) and Certification 

Maintenance Requirements (CMRs),’’ 

D622W001–9, Revision January 2010, of the 

Boeing 777 Maintenance Planning Data 

(MPD) Document, or within 18 months after 

the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs later. 

Alternative Inspections and Inspection 

Intervals 

(h) After accomplishing the actions 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no 

alternative inspections or inspection 

intervals may be used unless the alternative 

inspection or interval is approved as an 

alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in 

accordance with the procedures specified in 

paragraph (i) of this AD. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(i)(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the

Special Local Regulation; Hydroplane 

Races Within the Captain of the Port 

Puget Sound Area of Responsibility 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

amend its regulation to establish 

permanent safety zones for hydroplane 

races taking place on various dates 

within Puget Sound, WA. This 

supplemental notice of proposed 

rulemaking changes the proposed 

regulation from establishing safety 

zones under 33 CFR part 165 to 

establishing a special local regulation 

under 33 CFR part 100, removes the 

duplicative Port Angeles race area and 

adds a race area in Lake Sammamish to 

the designated hydroplane race areas 

within the Captain of the Port, Puget 

Sound area of responsibility. When this 

proposed special local regulation is 

activated, and thus subject to 

enforcement, this rule would limit the 

movement of non-participating vessels 

within the regulated race areas while 

hydroplane races are taking place. This 

rule is needed to provide effective 

control over these events while ensuring 

the safety of the maritime public. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before February 18, 2011. Requests 

for public meetings must be received by 

the Coast Guard on or before January 27, 

2011.
