Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 737–200, 

–200C, –300, –400, and –500 series 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

reports of cracks in the skin and 

surrounding structure under the number 

3 very high frequency (VHF) antenna on 

the lower external surface of the 

airplane at buttock line 0.0, aft of the 

main landing gear wheel well. This AD 

requires inspecting for cracking and 

corrosion under the number 3 VHF 

antenna, and corrective actions if 

necessary; and, for certain airplanes, 

replacing bonded skin panels with solid 

skin panels if not previously 

accomplished. This AD also provides an 

optional preventive modification (which 

would terminate the inspection 

requirements for certain airplanes). We 

are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

cracks and corrosion of the skin and 

surrounding structure under the number 

3 VHF antenna, which could result in 

separation of the antenna from the 

airplane, and rapid depressurization of 

the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 28, 

2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 35 / Thursday, February 21, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 11973

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to 

amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an 

airworthiness directive (AD) that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

SNPRM published in the Federal 

Register on March 16, 2012 (77 FR 

15640). The original NPRM (75 FR 

19564, April 15, 2010) proposed to 

require inspections for cracking and 

corrosion under the number 3 VHF 

antenna, and corrective actions if 

necessary; and, for certain airplanes, 

replacing bonded skin panels with solid 

skin panels if not previously 

accomplished. The SNPRM proposed to 

add an optional preventive 

modification, which would terminate 

the inspection requirements for certain 

airplanes; change certain repairs; and 

add inspections. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the SNPRM (77 FR 15640, 

March 16, 2012) and the FAA’s response 

to each comment. 

Support for the SNPRM (77 FR 15640, 

March 16, 2012) 

The Boeing Company supports the 

SNPRM (77 FR 15640, March 16, 2012). 

Request To Clarify Required Actions 

United Airlines requested that we 

revise paragraph (g) of the SNPRM (77 

FR 15640, March 16, 2012) to more 

clearly indicate what actions are 

mandated. United Airlines explained 

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

Boeing Special Attention Service 

Bulletin 737–53–1287, Revision 1, dated 

November 15, 2010, provides 

information in a tabular format that can 

be easily misinterpreted, and that for the 

initial inspection, the reader can 

potentially use two of the initial 

inspection options without knowing 

that the third inspection is also 

required. As an example, United 

Airlines explained that in table 1 of 

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

Special Attention Service Bulletin 737– 

53–1287, Revision 1, dated November 

15, 2010, the first action is to perform 

external visual inspections, but that 

action also directs operators to 

paragraph 3.B.3.a., which requires 

external detailed and external high 

frequency eddy current (HFEC) 

inspections. 

We agree to clarify. We have 

eliminated unnecessary repeated 

phrasing (e.g., external detailed, HFEC) 

from paragraph (g) of this final rule to 

indicate those actions that are 

mandated. 

The second row, first column of table 

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

Boeing Special Attention Service 

Bulletin 737–53–1287, Revision 1, dated 

November 15, 2010, identifies that the 

action specified in the second, third, 

and fourth row, second column, is to be 

done on all airplanes, and are not 

optional. All airplanes listed in the 

Applicability section of this AD are 

required to have those actions 

completed. 

Also, the reference to the Work 

Instructions paragraphs (e.g., 3.B.3.a., 

3.B.5.a.) direct operators where to find 

those specific actions in the 

Accomplishment Instructions of the 

service bulletin. 

Request To Delete Requirement 

Southwest Airlines requested that we 

remove paragraph (h)(2) from the 

supplemental NPRM (77 FR 15640, 

March 16, 2012). That paragraph 

proposed to require that operators 

comply with section 121.1109(c)(2) or 

section 129.109(c)(2) of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

121.1109(c)(2) or 14 CFR 129.109(c)(2)) 

and obtain an approved damage 

tolerance evaluation for any repair 

installed. Southwest Airlines 

considered that paragraph (h)(2) of the 

supplemental NPRM contradicts the 

following statement in the preamble of 

the supplemental NPRM: 

Table 10 in paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ 

of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 

737–53–1287, Revision 1, dated November 

15, 2010; and Part 8 of the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Special Attention 

Service Bulletin 737–53–1287, Revision 1, 

dated November 15, 2010; specify postrepair/modification inspections at the 

number 3 VHF antenna location, which may 

be used in support of compliance with 

section 121.1109(c)(2) or 129.109(c)(2) of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

121.1109(c)(2) or 129.109(c)(2)), but this 

supplemental NPRM does not propose to 

require those post-repair/modification 

inspections. 

Southwest Airlines reasoned that the 

requirement to have a damage tolerance 

assessment is already mandated by 14 

CFR 121.1109, and it is not necessary to 

require this in the supplemental NPRM. 

We agree with the commenter’s 

request. We have added new paragraph 

(i) to this final rule and deleted 

paragraph (h)(2) of the supplemental 

NPRM (77 FR 15640, March 16, 2012)) 

to clarify that the post-repair/ 

modification inspections are not 

required by this AD. We also removed 

the reference to Table 10 of paragraph 

1.E., Compliance, of Boeing Special 

Attention Service Bulletin 737–53– 

1287, Revision 1, dated November 15, 

2010, and clarified that Part 8 of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 737– 

53–1287, Revision 1, dated November 

15, 2010, is the appropriate reference for 

the damage tolerance inspections. We 

have also changed 129.109(c)(2) to 

129.109(b)(2) in Note 1 to paragraph (i) 

of this final rule. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the 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 supplemental 

NPRM (77 FR 15640, March 16, 2012) 

for correcting the unsafe condition; and 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
11974 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 35 / Thursday, February 21, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the supplemental NPRM 

(77 FR 15640, March 16, 2012). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 629 

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 

Number of 

U.S.-registered 

airplanes 

Cost on U.S. operators 

Inspection ................ Up to 13 work-hours 

× $85 per hour = 

Up to $1,105 per 

inspection cycle.

None ........... Up to $1,105 per inspection cycle.629 Up to $695,045 per inspection cycle. 

Concurrent replacement for Group 2 

and Group 7 airplanes 1.

2,112 work-hours × 

$85 per hour = 

$179,520.

$35,000 ....... $214,520 ................. 387 $83,019,240. 

1The concurrent modification for Group 2 and Group 7 airplanes required by this AD is already required by AD 90–06–02, Amendment 39– 

6489 (55 FR 8372, March 7, 1990). AD 90–06–02 mandated the skin replacement within 20 years of the manufacture date of the airplane. All 

Group 2 and Group 7 airplanes have exceeded the 20-year threshold. 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide a cost 

estimate for the on-condition actions 

specified in this 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. 

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.
