Airworthiness Directives; Boeing 

Model 737–600, –700, –700C, –800, and 

–900 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Boeing Model 737–600, –700, –700C, 

–800, and –900 series airplanes. This 

AD requires replacing the bracket for the 

wire bundle of the fuel quantity 

indicating system (FQIS), performing a 

general visual inspection of the FQIS 

wire bundle for damage, and doing 

corrective actions if necessary. This AD 

is prompted by a report of an incorrectly 

installed FQIS wire bundle. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent chafing of the 

FQIS wire(s) in the center fuel tank, 

which, when combined with a lightning 

strike or a power wire short to the FQIS 

wire(s), could result in arcing in the 

center fuel tank and consequent fuel 

tank explosion.

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

January 3, 2005. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the AD is 

approved by the Director of the Federal 

Register as of January 3, 2005.

ADDRESSES: For service information 

identified in this AD, contact Boeing 

Commercial Airplanes, P.O. Box 3707,

AD, comments, and any final 

disposition. You can examine the AD

(telephone (800) 647–5227) is located on 

the plaza level of the Nassif Building at

ADDRESSES section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with 

an AD for certain Boeing Model 737–

600, –700, –700C, –800, and –900 series 

airplanes. That action, published in the 

Federal Register on July 8, 2004 (69 FR 

41207), proposed to require replacing 

the bracket for the wire bundle of the 

fuel quantity indicating system (FQIS), 

performing a general visual inspection 

of the FQIS wire bundle for damage, and 

doing corrective actions if necessary. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We have 

considered the comments that have 

been submitted on the proposed AD. 

Agree With Proposed AD 

Two commenters, the Air Line Pilots 

Association, on behalf of its members, 

and the manufacturer, generally agree 

with the proposed AD. 

Request To Reduce Compliance Time 

One commenter, the Civil Aviation 

Authority, which is the airworthiness 

authority for the United Kingdom, 

requests reducing the compliance time 

specified in paragraph (f) of the 

proposed AD. The proposed compliance 

time is ‘‘within 24 months after the 

effective date of this AD.’’ The 

commenter notes that Boeing issued 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 737–

28–1190, dated January 16, 2003, over a 

year and a half ago. The commenter 

contends that the compliance time in 

the proposed AD should be reduced to 

ensure the prevention of a chaffed wire 

in the fuel tank. 

We do not agree to reduce the 

compliance time in the final rule. In 

developing an appropriate compliance 

time, we considered the safety 

implications, parts availability, and 

maintenance schedules that would 

allow for timely accomplishment and 

minimal fuel tank entries. Minimizing 

fuel tank entries reduces the potential 

for unintended hazardous conditions. In 

consideration of all of these factors, we 

determined that the compliance time, as 

proposed, represents an appropriate 

interval in which the required actions 

can be done in a timely manner within 

the fleet, while still maintaining an 

adequate level of safety. Operators are 

always permitted to accomplish the 

requirements of an AD at a time earlier 

than the specified compliance time. If 

additional data are presented that would 

justify a shorter compliance time, we 

may consider further rulemaking on this 

issue. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data, including the comments 

that have been submitted, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

69278 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 228 / Monday, November 29, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 

Costs of Compliance 

There are about 1,063 airplanes of the 

affected design in the worldwide fleet. 

This AD will affect about 518 airplanes 

of U.S. registry. 

Replacing the bracket will take about 

1 work hour per airplane, at an average 

labor rate of $65 per work hour. 

Required parts will cost about $186 per 

airplane. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of the required 

replacement on U.S. operators to be 

$130,018, or $251 per airplane. 

Inspecting the FQIS wire bundle will 

take approximately 1 work hour per 

airplane, at an average labor rate of $65 

per work hour. Based on these figures, 

we estimate the cost of the required 

inspection on U.S. operators to be 

$33,670, or $65 per airplane. 

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); 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD. See the ADDRESSES section for 

a location to examine the regulatory 

evaluation.

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD):

2004–24–07 Boeing: Amendment 39–13883. 

Docket No. FAA–2004–18562; 

Directorate Identifier 2003–NM–147–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This AD becomes effective January 3,

Attention Service Bulletin 737–28–1190, 

Revision 1, dated March 27, 2003; 

certificated in any category. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD was prompted by a report of 

an incorrectly installed fuel quantity 

indicating system (FQIS) wire bundle. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent chafing of the 

FQIS wire(s) in the center fuel tank, which, 

when combined with a lightning strike or a 

power wire short to the FQIS wire(s), could 

result in arcing in the center fuel tank and

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Replacement and Inspection 

(f) Within 24 months after the effective 

date of this AD, replace the bracket for the 

FQIS wire bundle with a new, improved 

bracket, perform a general visual inspection 

of the FQIS wire bundle for damage, and 

perform any applicable corrective actions, by 

accomplishing all of the actions specified in 

the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 737–28–

1190, Revision 1, dated March 27, 2003. Do 

any applicable corrective actions before 

further flight.

Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a 

general visual inspection is defined as: ‘‘A 

visual examination of an interior or exterior 

area, installation, or assembly to detect 

obvious damage, failure, or irregularity. This 

level of inspection is made from within 

touching distance unless otherwise specified. 

A mirror may be necessary to enhance visual 

access to all exposed surfaces in the 

inspection area. This level of inspection is 

made under normally available lighting 

conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, 

flashlight, or droplight and may require 

removal or opening of access panels or doors. 

Stands, ladders, or platforms may be required 

to gain proximity to the area being checked.’’

Actions Accomplished in Accordance With 

Previous Issue of Service Bulletin 

(g) Actions accomplished before the 

effective date of this AD in accordance with 

Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 

737–28–1190, dated January 16, 2003, are 

considered acceptable for compliance with 

the corresponding action specified in this 

AD. 

Parts Installation 

(h) As of the effective date of this AD, no 

person may install a bracket, part number 

287A9111–3, for the FQIS wire bundle, on 

any airplane. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(i) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested in 

accordance with the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19.
