effective date of this AD but no later than 3 

months after the effective date of this AD. 

(5) Although the service information 

referenced in EASA 2019–0246 specifies to 

discard certain parts, this AD does not 

include that requirement. 

(i) Special Flight Permit 

Special flight permits may be issued in 

accordance with 14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199 

to operate the helicopter to a location where 

the helicopter can be modified (if the 

operator elects to do so), provided the 

helicopter is not used for hoist operations 

and no passengers are onboard. 

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs):

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

The Boeing Company Model DC–10–10, 

DC–10–10F, DC–10–15, DC–10–30, DC– 

10–30F (KC–10A and KDC–10), DC–10– 

40 and DC–10–40F airplanes; and 

Model MD–10–10F and MD–10–30F 

airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a report that an operator 

found a crack in the upper flange of the

supporting data. The FAA will consider 

all comments received by the closing 

date and may amend the proposal 

because of those comments. 

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 to https://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. The 

agency will also post a report 

summarizing each substantive verbal 

contact we receive about this proposed 

AD. 

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 Manuel Hernandez, 

Aerospace Engineer, Airframe Section, 

FAA, Los Angeles ACO Branch, 3960 

Paramount Boulevard, Lakewood, CA 

90712–4137; phone: 562–627–5256; fax: 

562–627–5210; email: 

Manuel.F.Hernandez@faa.gov. 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 

indicating that an operator found a 

crack in the upper flange of the pylon 

aft bulkhead bracket. The crack was 

discovered during an open hole ETHF 

inspection and was not detectable with 

the fastener installed. Further 

investigation revealed that the crack 

growth was caused by fatigue loading. 

This condition, if not addressed, could 

result in possible cracking of the wing 

pylon at the aft bulkhead bracket, which 

could result in the inability of the pylon 

to sustain limit load and adversely affect 

the structural integrity of the airplane. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert 

Requirements Bulletin DC10–54A111 

RB, dated June 26, 2020. The service 

information describes procedures for a 

general visual inspection of the left and 

right wing pylon at the aft bulkhead 

bracket for any lockbolt and collar; 

repetitive surface and open hole ETHF 

inspections of the left and right wing 

pylon at the aft bulkhead bracket for any 

cracking; and applicable on-condition 

actions. On-condition actions include 

modifying any aft bulkhead bracket that 

has a lockbolt and collar, and repair or 

replacement of the aft bulkhead bracket. 

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 DC10–54A111 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– 

1167. 

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 103 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 

General visual inspection ....... 2 work-hours × $85 per hour 

= $170.

$0 $170 ....................................... $17,510. 

Surface and open hole ETHF 

inspections.

5 work-hours × $85 per hour 

= $425 per inspection cycle.

0 425 per inspection cycle ........ 8,755 per inspection cycle. 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2021 / Proposed Rules 3887 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary on-condition 

modifications that would be required. 

The FAA has no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need these 

on-condition modifications: 

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product 

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 per lockbolt/collar (maximum of 8 

lockbolt/collars).

$100 per lockbolt/collar ................. $185 per lockbolt/collar. 

The FAA has received no definitive 

data on which to base the cost estimates 

for the on-condition repairs and 

replacements specified in 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. 

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.

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

amend the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Wharton Regional Airport, Wharton, 

TX, to support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views,
