(i) Terminating Action 

Modifying the STA 2370 pivot bulkhead by 

replacing the left and right side forward outer 

chords and upper splice angles, and doing all 

applicable related investigative and 

corrective actions, terminates the repetitive 

inspections required by paragraphs (g) and 

(h) of this AD for the modified location only. 

The modification must be done in 

accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 777– 

53–0076, dated January 14, 2015, except as 

required by paragraph (j)(2) of this AD. 

(j) Exceptions to Service Bulletin 

Specifications 

(1) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

777–53A0075, dated January 14, 2015, 

specifies a compliance time ‘‘after the 

Original Issue date of this Service Bulletin,’’ 

this AD requires compliance within the 

specified compliance time after the effective

(2) Although Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

777–53A0075, dated January 14, 2015; and 

Boeing Service Bulletin 777–530076, dated 

January 14, 2015; specify to contact Boeing 

for appropriate action, and Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 777–53A0075, dated January 

14, 2015, specifies that action as ‘‘RC’’ 

(Required for Compliance), this AD requires 

repair before further flight using a method 

approved in accordance with the procedures 

specified in paragraph (k) of this AD. 

(k) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested using the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, 

send your request to your principal inspector 

or local Flight Standards District Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the manager of the ACO, send it to the 

attention of the person identified in 

paragraph (l)(1) of this AD. Information may 

be emailed to: 9-ANM-Seattle-ACO-AMOCRequests@faa.gov. 

(2) Before using any approved AMOC, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector, 

or lacking a principal inspector, the manager 

of the local flight standards district office/

certificate holding district office. 

(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable 

level of safety may be used for any repair 

required by this AD if it is approved by the 

Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization 

Designation Authorization (ODA) that has 

been authorized by the Manager, Seattle 

ACO, to make those findings. For a repair 

method to be approved, the repair must meet 

the certification basis of the airplane, and the 

approval must specifically refer to this AD. 

(4) Except as required by paragraph (j)(2) 

of this AD: For service information that 

contains steps that are labeled as Required 

for Compliance (RC), the provisions of 

paragraphs (k)(4)(i) and (k)(4)(ii) apply. 

(i) The steps labeled as RC, including 

substeps under an RC step and any figures 

identified in an RC step, must be done to 

comply with the AD. An AMOC is required 

for any deviations to RC steps, including 

substeps and identified figures. 

(ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be 

deviated from using accepted methods in 

accordance with the operator’s maintenance 

or inspection program without obtaining 

approval of an AMOC, provided the RC steps, 

including substeps and identified figures, can 

still be done as specified, and the airplane 

can be put back in an airworthy condition.

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker 

Services B.V. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 

1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by a 

design review, which revealed that no 

controlled bonding provisions are 

present on a number of critical locations 

outside the fuel tank. This proposed AD 

would require installing additional and 

improved fuel system bonding 

provisions, and revising the airplane 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, by incorporating fuel 

airworthiness limitation items and 

critical design configuration control 

limitations. We are proposing this AD to 

prevent an ignition source in the fuel 

tank vapor space, which could result in 

a fuel tank explosion and consequent 

loss of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 30, 2015.

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0109, dated May 8, 2014 

(referred to after this the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for all Fokker Services B.V. 

Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 

4000 airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Prompted by an accident * * *, the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

published Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation (SFAR) 88 [(66 FR 23086, May 7, 

2001)], and the Joint Aviation Authorities 

(JAA) published Interim Policy INT/POL/25/ 

12. 

The review conducted by Fokker Services 

on the Fokker F28 design, in response to 

these regulations, revealed that no controlled 

bonding provisions are present on a number 

of critical locations outside the fuel tank. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

create an ignition source in the fuel tank 

vapour space, possibly resulting in a fuel 

tank explosions and consequent loss of the 

aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Fokker Services developed a set of fuel tank 

bonding modifications. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires the installation of 

additional and improved bonding provisions. 

These modifications do not require opening 

of the fuel tank access panels. 

More information on this subject can be 

found in Fokker Services All Operators 

Message AOF28.038#02. 

Required actions include revising the 

airplane maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, by incorporating 

fuel airworthiness limitation items and 

critical design configuration control 

limitations. You may examine the MCAI 

in the AD docket on the Internet at 

http://www.regulations.gov by searching 

for and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

1982. 

The FAA has examined the 

underlying safety issues involved in fuel 

tank explosions on several large 

transport airplanes, including the 

adequacy of existing regulations, the 

service history of airplanes subject to 

those regulations, and existing 

maintenance practices for fuel tank 

systems. As a result of those findings, 

we issued a regulation titled ‘‘Transport 

Airplane Fuel Tank System Design 

Review, Flammability Reduction and 

Maintenance and Inspection 

Requirements’’ (66 FR 23086, May 7, 

2001). In addition to new airworthiness 

standards for transport airplanes and 

new maintenance requirements, this 

rule included Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation No. 88 (‘‘SFAR 88,’’ 

Amendment 21–78, and subsequent 

Amendments 21–82 and 21–83). 

Among other actions, SFAR 88 (66 FR 

23086, May 7, 2001) requires certain 

type design (i.e., type certificate (TC) 

and supplemental type certificate (STC)) 

holders to substantiate that their fuel 

tank systems can prevent ignition 

sources in the fuel tanks. This 

requirement applies to type design 

holders for large turbine-powered 

transport airplanes and for subsequent 

modifications to those airplanes. It 

requires them to perform design reviews 

and to develop design changes and 

maintenance procedures if their designs 

do not meet the new fuel tank safety 

standards. As explained in the preamble 

to the rule, we intended to adopt 

airworthiness directives to mandate any 

changes found necessary to address 

unsafe conditions identified as a result 

of these reviews. 

In evaluating these design reviews, we 

have established four criteria intended 

to define the unsafe conditions 

associated with fuel tank systems that 

require corrective actions. The 

percentage of operating time during 

which fuel tanks are exposed to 

flammable conditions is one of these 

criteria. The other three criteria address 

the failure types under evaluation: 

Single failures, single failures in 

combination with a latent condition(s), 

and in-service failure experience. For all 

four criteria, the evaluations included 

consideration of previous actions taken 

that may mitigate the need for further 

action. 

The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) 

has issued a regulation that is similar to 

SFAR 88 (66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). 

(The JAA is an associated body of the 

European Civil Aviation Conference 

(ECAC) representing the civil aviation 

regulatory authorities of a number of 

European States who have agreed to cooperate in developing and 

implementing common safety regulatory 

standards and procedures.) Under this 

regulation, the JAA stated that all 

members of the ECAC that hold type 

certificates for transport category 

airplanes are required to conduct a 

design review against explosion risks. 

We have determined that the actions 

identified in this AD are necessary to 

reduce the potential of ignition sources 

inside fuel tanks, which, in combination 

with flammable fuel vapors, could result 

in fuel tank explosions and consequent 

loss of the airplane. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Fokker Services B.V. has issued 

Fokker F28 Appendix SB SBF28–28– 

059/APP01, dated July 15, 2014, of 

Fokker F28 Proforma Service Bulletin 

SBF28–28–059, Revision 1, dated July 

15, 2014. The service information 

describes procedures for the installation 

of additional bonding provisions 

outside the fuel tank. 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 NPRM. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of these same 

type designs. 

This AD requires revisions to certain 

operator maintenance documents to 

include new actions (e.g., inspections) 

and/or Critical Design Configuration 

Control Limitations (CDCCLs). 

Compliance with these actions and/or 

CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired 

in the areas addressed by this AD, the 

operator may not be able to accomplish 

the actions 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 (k) 

of this AD. The request should include 

a description of changes to the required 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
34108 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 114 / Monday, June 15, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

actions that will ensure the continued 

operational safety of the airplane. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI or Service Information 

Although EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0109, dated May 8, 

2014, specifies both revising the 

maintenance program to include 

limitations, and doing certain repetitive 

actions (e.g., inspections) and/or 

maintaining CDCCLs, this AD only 

requires the revision. Requiring a 

revision of the maintenance program, 

rather than requiring individual 

repetitive actions and/or maintaining 

CDCCLs, requires operators to record 

AD compliance only at the time the 

revision is made. Repetitive actions 

and/or maintaining CDCCLs specified in 

the airworthiness limitations must be 

complied with in accordance with 14 

CFR 91.403(c). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 5 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 11 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $140 per 

product. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this proposed AD on 

U.S. operators to be $5,375, or $1,075 

per product. 

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.
