KHAMMOND on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
85560 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 29, 2020 / Proposed Rules 

Except for Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) as described in the 

following paragraph, and other 

information as described in 14 CFR 

11.35, the FAA will post all comments 

received, without change, as well as a 

report summarizing each substantive 

public contact with FAA personnel 

concerning this proposed rulemaking. 

Before acting on this proposal, the FAA 

will consider all comments received by 

the closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. The FAA may change 

this NPRM because of those comments. 

Confidential Business Information 

CBI is commercial or financial 

information that is both customarily and 

actually treated as private by its owner. 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

contain commercial or financial 

information that is customarily treated 

as private, that you actually treat as 

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to the person identified 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section. Any commentary that 

the FAA receives which is not 

specifically designated as CBI will be 

placed in the public docket for this 

rulemaking. 

Discussion 

The FAA has received a report of 

discrepant spoiler assemblies, which 

have the wrong splice bar installed and 

lack reinforcing doublers. These two 

features were introduced to meet failsafe requirements. The splice bar, 

unique to the Boeing Model 717 

airplane, features the capability to 

minimize uncommanded spoiler float in 

the event of a spoiler drive connection 

failure. The Boeing Model 717 airplane 

design utilizes a back-up to the holddown actuator. The drive link in the 

spoiler operating mechanism features 

hooks that are designed to engage the 

splice bar when the spoiler 

unintentionally rises. In normal 

operation, the hooks of the drive link 

never contact the splice bar. Although 

the incorrect spoilers with no 

reinforcing doublers and an incorrect 

splice bar do not affect the strength 

requirements of the spoiler under 

normal conditions, an incorrect splice 

bar is not structurally adequate to 

support the spoiler drive link hook failsafe load condition. This condition, if 

not addressed, could lead to failure of 

the splice bar to keep the spoiler drive 

link engaged, and could result in spoiler 

float and consequent reduced 

controllability of the airplane. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert 

Requirements Bulletin 717–57A0027 

RB, dated June 26, 2020. This service 

information describes procedures for a 

one-time general visual inspection of 

the left- and right-wing inboard and 

outboard spoiler assemblies for the 

correct splice bar and doublers 

configuration, and repair. 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. 

FAA’s Determination 

The FAA is proposing this AD 

because the agency 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 

accomplishment of the actions 

identified in Boeing Alert Requirements 

Bulletin 717–57A0027 RB, dated June 

26, 2020, described previously, except 

for any differences identified as 

exceptions in the regulatory text of this 

proposed AD. 

For information on the procedures 

and compliance times, see this service 

information at https://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2020– 

1028. 

Explanation of Requirements Bulletin 

The FAA worked in conjunction with 

industry, under the Airworthiness 

Directive Implementation Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee (AD ARC), to 

enhance the AD system. One 

enhancement is a process for annotating 

which steps in the service information 

are ‘‘required for compliance’’ (RC) with 

an AD. Boeing has implemented this RC 

concept into Boeing service bulletins. 

In an effort to further improve the 

quality of ADs and AD-related Boeing 

service information, a joint process 

improvement initiative was worked 

between the FAA and Boeing. The 

initiative resulted in the development of 

a new process in which the service 

information more clearly identifies the 

actions needed to address the unsafe 

condition in the ‘‘Accomplishment 

Instructions.’’ The new process results 

in a Boeing Requirements Bulletin, 

which contains only the actions needed 

to address the unsafe condition (i.e., 

only the RC actions). 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this proposed 

AD affects 114 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Inspection ........................................................ 4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ............. $0 $340 $38,760 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary on-condition 

actions that would be required. The 

FAA has no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need these 

on-condition actions: 


KHAMMOND on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 29, 2020 / Proposed Rules 85561 

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product 

Up to 2 work-hour × $85 per hour = $170 per spoiler assembly ........... $5,432 per spoiler assembly ......... Up to $5,602 per spoiler assembly. 

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. 

The FAA is 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 

The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, 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.
