AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model and 777 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

reports of uncommanded door closure 

of a large lower lobe cargo door. This 

AD requires inspecting for part numbers 

and serial numbers of the rotary 

actuators of the forward and aft large 

lower lobe cargo doors, as applicable, 

and corrective action if necessary. We 

are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

rotary actuators made with a material 

having poor actuator gear wear 

characteristics, which could result in 

failure of the rotary actuators for the 

forward or aft large lower lobe cargo 

doors and subsequent uncommanded 

door closure, which could possibly 

result in fatal injury to people on the 

ground. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 23, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of July 23, 2015.

tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
34828 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 117 / Thursday, June 18, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain The Boeing Company 

Model and 777 airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 30, 2014 (79 FR 36678). The NPRM 

was prompted by reports of 

uncommanded door closure of a large 

lower lobe cargo door. The NPRM 

proposed to require inspecting for part 

numbers and serial numbers of the 

rotary actuators of the forward and aft 

large lower lobe cargo doors, as 

applicable, and corrective action if 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct rotary actuators made 

with a material having poor actuator 

gear wear characteristics, which could 

result in failure of the rotary actuators 

for the forward or aft large lower lobe 

cargo door and subsequent 

uncommanded door closure, which 

could possibly result in injury to people 

on the ground. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the NPRM (79 FR 36678, 

June 30, 2014) and the FAA’s response 

to each comment. 

Support for Rulemaking 

United Airlines stated that it concurs 

with the NPRM (79 FR 36678, June 30, 

2014), and FedEx Express stated that it 

has no technical objections to 

incorporating the NPRM. 

Request To Revise Compliance Time 

United Parcel Service (UPS) requested 

that the compliance time for Model 767 

airplanes be revised from 30 months to 

72 months to match the 72-month 

compliance time for Model 777 

airplanes. UPS stated that the same 

actuator part number is used on both 

Model 767 and Model 777 airplanes and 

is modified by the same Eaton service 

information. UPS also contended that 

the same level of safety can be achieved 

because the compliance times are ‘‘not 

based on flight cycles but on flight 

hours,’’ and Model 767 and 777 fleets 

have common cargo door installations 

and functions. 

We do not agree with the commenter’s 

request to revise the compliance time. 

The design of the door and the operating 

system of the door for the two models 

of airplane are different. The two 

models are subject to different actuator 

loading. In developing appropriate 

compliance times for this action, we 

considered the safety implications of 

each design for timely replacement of 

the actuators. Further, the compliance 

time matches Boeing’s recommended 

compliance times. However, under the 

provisions of paragraph (l) of this AD, 

we will consider requests for approval 

of an extension of the compliance time 

if sufficient data are submitted to 

substantiate that the new compliance 

time would provide an acceptable level 

of safety. We have not changed the AD 

in this regard. 

Request To Postpone Re-Identification 

for Already-Modified Parts 

Air France requested that operators 

who have checked their maintenance 

records and know which serial numbers 

are on the actuators in their fleet be 

allowed to keep ‘‘post-AD’’ actuators 

installed without being required to reidentify those actuators until those 

actuators are removed for other reasons. 

Air France stated that an operator that 

knows exactly which serial numbers are 

on the rotary actuators on its fleet is 

aware of which units have already been 

modified or not. 

We do not agree with the commenter’s 

request to postpone re-identification. 

The task to re-identify the actuator can 

be done without removing the actuator 

from the airplane. Re-identification of 

the actuators, as required by this AD, 

will ensure that the maintenance 

records match the airplane 

configuration. Delaying this reidentification action introduces possible 

confusion. However, under the 

provisions of paragraph (l) of this AD, 

we will consider requests for approval 

of changes to the compliance time for 

re-identification if sufficient data are 

submitted to substantiate that the new 

compliance time would provide an 

acceptable level of safety. We have not 

changed the AD in this regard. 

Request To Reference Updated Service 

Information With Correct Serial 

Numbers 

Eaton and Boeing stated that some 

actuator serial numbers were omitted 

from table 1, which identifies parts that 

do not need to be modified, in Eaton 

Service Bulletin 692D100–52–4, 

Revision 2, dated August 1, 2013. 

Boeing requested that the final rule be 

delayed until the Boeing and Eaton 

service information are revised to have 

the correct numbers. Boeing also stated 

that if the final rule is not delayed 

pending issuance of the revised service 

information, unnecessary actions might 

be performed on actuators not subject to 

the unsafe condition. Eaton stated that 

in table 1, two digits were transposed; 

what is listed as ‘‘3173B’’ should be 

‘‘3137B’’ (i.e., ‘‘3173B—3813B’’ should 

be ‘‘3137B—3813B’’). Eaton stated that 

this error omitted serial numbers (S/Ns) 

3137 through 3172, which were made 

with the 9310 steel. Eaton stated that 

they also reviewed the records for S/N 

2257 and found that it was modified by 

Eaton to contain the 9310 steel and was 

re-identified as 2257B. 

We agree with the commenters’ 

request to reference updated service 

information. We have received the 

revised service information, and agree to 

revise this final rule to refer to the 

corrected service information. We have 

reviewed Eaton Service Bulletin 

692D100–52–4, Revision 3, dated 

August 14, 2014, which contains a 

revised table 1 that corrects the 

transposed digits and includes the 

omitted serial numbers. We have also 

reviewed Boeing Service Bulletins 767– 

52A0100, Revision 3, dated January 19, 

2015; and 777–52–0053, Revision 2, 

dated January 19, 2015; which update 

the reference to Eaton Service Bulletin 

692D100–52–4, Revision 3, dated 

August 14, 2014. The revised service 

information would provide relief for 

operators that have those omitted serial 

numbers. We have revised paragraphs 

(c), (g), (h), and (i) of this AD to refer 

to the revised service information and 

have added new paragraph (j) to this AD 

to provide credit for previous actions 

done using the service information 

referenced in the NPRM (79 FR 36678, 

June 30, 2014). We have redesignated 

subsequent paragraphs accordingly. 

Request To Grant Credit for Parts With 

Suffix B 

Emirates Airlines requested that 

credit for the actuator modification be 

granted for all actuators having part 

number (P/N) 692D100–13, with serial 

numbers containing a suffix ‘‘B.’’ 

Emirates Airlines suggested that the 

required work for those ‘‘suffix B’’ 

actuators be limited to re-identification. 

Emirates Airlines stated that it found 

actuators having a suffix ‘‘B’’ installed 

on its Model 777 fleet, but those 

actuators were not listed in table 1 of 

Eaton Service Bulletin 692D100–52–4, 

Revision 2, dated August 1, 2013. 

Emirates Airlines referenced section 52– 

34–02 of the Eaton Component 

Maintenance Manual (CMM), and stated 

that the CMM states ‘‘all serial number 

2907 and above are equipped with 

692D190–5 no-back brake assemblies 

and the serial number will carry a suffix 

‘B.’ These units with a serial number ‘B’ 

suffix incorporate ball detent match set 

P/N 692C130–1.’’ Emirates Airlines 

suggested that installation of no-back 

assemblies with P/N 692D190–5 during 

production, or repair using section 52– 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 117 / Thursday, June 18, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 34829 

34–02 of the Eaton CMM and Eaton 

Service Letter 692D100–13 would also 

address the unsafe condition. 

We do not agree to grant credit for all 

actuators with a ‘‘B’’ suffix. The revised 

Eaton service bulletin (Eaton Service 

Bulletin 692D100–52–4, Revision 3, 

dated August 14, 2014) discussed 

previously did not include all serial 

numbers 2907 and above with a ‘‘B’’ 

suffix in table 1. We also have not 

received data to substantiate a change to 

expand the range of acceptable serial 

numbers. However, under the 

provisions of paragraph (l) of this AD, 

we will consider requests for approval 

of an alternative method of compliance 

if sufficient data are submitted to 

substantiate that the change would 

provide an acceptable level of safety. 

We have not changed this AD in this 

regard. 

Request To Revise or Remove the Parts 

Installation Prohibition Paragraph 

UPS requested that the wording of the 

Parts Installation Prohibition paragraph 

(paragraph (j) for the NPRM (79 FR 

36678, June 30, 2014), which has been 

redesignated as paragraph (k) of this 

AD) be revised to read ‘‘After the 

Terminating Date of the AD, Do NOT 

install a rotary actuator having Boeing 

part number. . .’’ or that the paragraph 

be removed from the AD. UPS 

interpreted the proposed prohibition of 

‘‘As of the effective date of this AD, no 

rotary actuator having Boeing . . . may 

be installed on any airplane’’ as 

prohibiting any of those actuators 

currently installed on the airplane to 

remain installed. UPS contended that if 

leaving an affected actuator on the 

airplane is acceptable for the duration of 

the AD, then installing another actuator 

with the same affected part number 

within the compliance time of the AD 

should be acceptable. UPS added that if 

paragraph (j) of the NPRM were 

removed or revised, then the concern 

about spare parts availability would be 

reduced. 

We disagree with the request to revise 

paragraph (k) of this AD, but provide the 

following clarification of the intent of 

paragraph (k) of this AD. Paragraph (k) 

of this AD does not address parts that 

are already on the airplane; instead, it 

affects the installation of an affected 

replacement rotary actuator done on or 

after the effective date of this AD. 

Simply taking a part off and then 

installing it back on the airplane as part 

of gaining access for some other 

maintenance activity not associated 

with this final rule is not regarded as an 

installation that is affected by paragraph 

(k) of this AD. 

In developing the technical 

information on which this final rule is 

based, we considered the availability of 

spare parts that this final rule will 

require and the compliance time, and 

found that sufficient parts are available. 

However, under the provisions of 

paragraph (l) of this AD, we will 

consider requests for approval of an 

extension of the compliance time if 

sufficient data are submitted to 

substantiate that the new compliance 

time would provide an acceptable level 

of safety. We have not changed this AD 

in this regard. 

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment 

of the Proposed Actions 

Aviation Partners Boeing stated that 

the installation of winglets per 

supplemental type certificate (STC) 

ST01920SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/

Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/

rgstc.nsf/0/59027F43B9A7486E86257B

1D006591EE?OpenDocument&

Highlight=st01920se) does not affect the 

accomplishment of the manufacturer’s 

service instructions. 

We agree with the commenter that 

STC ST01920SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/

Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/

rgstc.nsf/0/59027F43B9A7486E8625

7B1D006591EE?OpenDocument&

Highlight=st01920se) does not affect the 

accomplishment of the manufacturer’s 

service instructions. Therefore, the 

installation of STC ST01920SE does not 

affect the ability to accomplish the 

actions required by this AD. 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 changes described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

36678, June 30, 2014) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 36678, 

June 30, 2014). 

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 Service Bulletins 

767–52A0100, Revision 3, dated January 

19, 2014; and 777–52–0053, Revision 2, 

dated January 19, 2015. The service 

information describe procedures for 

inspecting for part numbers and serial 

numbers of the rotary actuators of the 

forward and aft large lower lobe cargo 

doors, as applicable, and corrective 

action if necessary. 

Boeing Service Bulletins 767– 

52A0100, Revision 3, dated January 19, 

2015; and 777–52–0053, Revision 2, 

dated January 19, 2015; refer to Eaton 

Service Bulletin 692D100–52–4, 

Revision 3, dated August 14, 2014, 

which provides serial number 

information and procedures for doing 

certain corrective actions (rework of 

certain rotary actuators or reidentification of certain other rotary 

actuators). 

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 of 

this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 510 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Inspection for part number and serial 

number.

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ............ None ........................ $85 $43,350 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary re-identification or 

replacements that would be required 

based on the results of the inspection. 

We have no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need these 

re-identifications or 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. 

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), 

(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.

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 

■ 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): 

2015–12–11 The Boeing Company: 

Amendment 39–18186; Docket No. 

FAA–2014–0426; Directorate Identifier 

2013–NM–231–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective July 23, 2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to The Boeing Company 

airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and 

(c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category. 

(1) Model 767–200, –300, –300F, and 

–400ER series airplanes, as identified in 

Boeing Service Bulletin 767–52A0100, 

Revision 3, dated January 19, 2015.

and 777F series airplanes, as identified in 

Boeing Service Bulletin 777–52–0053, 

Revision 2, dated January 19, 2015. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 52, Doors. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

uncommanded door closure of a large lower 

lobe cargo door. We are issuing this AD to 

detect and correct rotary actuators made with 

a material having poor actuator gear wear 

characteristics, which could result in failure 

of the rotary actuators for the forward or aft 

large lower lobe cargo doors and subsequent 

uncommanded door closure, which could 

possibly result in fatal injury to people on the 

ground. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Inspection for Part Numbers, and Reidentification or Replacement, for Model 767 

Airplanes 

For Model 767–200, –300, –300F, and 

–400ER series airplanes: Within 30 months 

after the effective date of this AD, inspect 

each rotary actuator installed in the forward 

and aft large lower lobe cargo doors, as 

applicable, to determine the part number and 

serial number, and do all applicable 

corrective actions, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing 

Service Bulletin 767–52A0100, Revision 3, 

dated January 19, 2015; and Eaton Service 

Bulletin 692D100–52–4, Revision 3, dated 

August 14, 2014. Do the applicable corrective 

actions at the applicable time specified in 

paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing 

Service Bulletin 767–52A0100, Revision 3, 

dated January 19, 2015, except as required by 

paragraph (i) of this AD. A review of 

maintenance records for the part number and 

serial number is acceptable in lieu of the 

inspection if the part and serial numbers of 

the rotary actuator can be conclusively 

determined from that review. 

(h) Inspection for Part Numbers, and ReIdentification or Replacement, for Model 777 

Airplanes 

For Model 777–200, –200LR, –300, 

–300ER, and 777F series airplanes: Within 72 

months after the effective date of this AD, 

inspect each rotary actuator installed in the 

forward and aft large lower lobe cargo doors, 

as applicable, to determine the part number 

and serial number, and do all applicable

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus 

Helicopters Model EC135P1, EC135T1, 

EC135P2, EC135T2, EC135P2+, 

EC135T2+, and MBB–BK 117 C–2 

helicopters. This AD requires inspecting 

certain washers for movement and 

making appropriate repairs if the 

washers move. This AD was prompted 

by play found between the Smart 

Electro Mechanical Actuator (SEMA) 

and the control rod during installation 

work on a helicopter. The actions of this 

AD are intended to prevent loss of 

concerned control axis and subsequent 

loss of control of the helicopter. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 23, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain documents listed in this AD 

as of July 23, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On August 18, 2014, at 79 FR 48707, 

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 Airbus Helicopters Model EC135P1, 

EC135T1, EC135P2, EC135T2, 

EC135P2+, EC135T2+, and MBB–BK 

117 C–2 helicopters. The NPRM 

proposed to require inspecting certain 

washers for movement in the 

attachment hardware that connects the 

SEMA and the control rod of the 

longitudinal, lateral, and yaw actuators. 

If a washer can be moved, the NPRM 

proposed replacing the four screws, 

installing two additional washers, and 

torque-tightening the screws. The 

proposed requirements were intended to 

prevent loss of concerned control axis
