**Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 767–200, –300, and**  **–300F Series Airplanes**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

**SUMMARY :**  We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain model 767–200, –300, and –300F series airplanes. This proposed AD would require doing certain wiring changes, installing a new relay and necessary wiring in the cabin air conditioning and temperature control system (CACTCS), and performing an operational test of the cooling pack fire suppression system. This AD results from reports of loss of avionics cooling due to an unserviceable relay installed on a panel as part of the CACTCS. We are proposing this AD to prevent loss of electrical equipment bay cooling and the overheating of flight deck instruments, which would result in the eventual loss of primary flight displays, an unusually high pilot workload, and depressurization of the cabin.

**DATES :**  We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 11, 2011.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may send comments by any of the following methods:

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

Discussion

We received reports of loss of avionics cooling due to an unserviceable relay. This relay was one of six relays installed on a panel as part of the CACTCS. The failure of this relay caused a smoke mode solenoid to energize, causing the air conditioning system to go into a Class E fire suppression mode, the right side of the relay pack to turn off, and the left-side relay pack to go into low-flow mode. Over time, this caused insufficient equipment cooling and the slow depressurization of the cabin. This condition, if not corrected, could result in loss of electrical equipment bay cooling and the overheating of flight deck instruments, which would result in the eventual loss of all primary flight displays, an unusually high pilot workload, and depressurization of the cabin.

Relevant Service Information

We reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletins 767–21– 0246, dated January 7, 2011 (for Model 767–200 and 767–300 series airplanes); and 767–21–0234, dated August 6, 2009 (for Model 767–300F series airplanes). These service bulletins describe procedures for changing the wire bundle route and wiring, installing a new relay and applicable wiring in the CACTCS, and doing an operational test of the cooling pack fire suppression system.


### 52900 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 164 / Wednesday, August 24, 2011 / Proposed Rules

FAA’s Determination and Proposed AD Requirements

We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type designs. This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in the service information described previously. Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD affects 35 airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:



### E STIMATED 

### COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators

Change wire bundle, install relay, and operational

test. 29 work-hours × $85 per hour = $2,465 per relay installation. $1,240 $3,705 $129,675

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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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):

**Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 757–200, –200PF, and**  **–200CB Series Airplanes**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

**SUMMARY :**  We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to the products listed above. The existing AD currently requires repetitive inspections of the shim installation between the engine strut vertical flange and bulkhead, and repair if necessary. The existing AD also requires, for certain airplanes, an inspection for cracking of the four critical fastener holes in the horizontal flange, and repair if necessary. Additionally, the existing AD requires that the existing action be performed on airplanes without conclusive records of previous inspections. Since we issued that AD, we have received reports of loose fasteners and cracks at the joint common to the aft torque bulkhead and strut-to-diagonal brace fitting and one report of such damage occurring less than 3,000 flight cycles after the last inspection. This proposed AD would reduce the repetitive inspection interval, and add repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of the bulkhead, and repair if necessary. This proposed AD would also provide an option, for certain airplanes, to extend the repetitive intervals by also doing repetitive ultrasonic inspections for cracking of the bulkhead, and repair if necessary. This proposed AD would also add an option for the high frequency eddy current inspection for cracking of the critical fastener holes, and repair if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracks, loose and broken bolts, and shim migration in the joint between the afttorque bulkhead and the strut-todiagonal brace fitting, which could result in damage to the strut and consequent separation of the strut and engine from the airplane.

**DATES :**  We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 11, 2011.

Discussion

On February 22, 2008, we issued AD 2008–05–10, Amendment 39–15404 (73 FR 11347, March 3, 2008), for certain Boeing Model 757–200, –200PF, and –200CB series airplanes powered by Rolls-Royce engines. That AD requires repetitive inspections of the shim installation between the engine strut vertical flange and bulkhead, and repair if necessary. That AD also requires, for certain airplanes, an inspection for cracking of the four critical fastener holes in the horizontal flange, and repair if necessary. That AD resulted from reports of cracking in the pylon under bolts that appear to be undamaged during the existing AD inspections. That AD also resulted from our determination that operators did not maintain records of previous inspections that are necessary to determine the appropriate corrective actions. We issued that AD to detect and correct cracks, loose and broken bolts, and shim migration in the joint betweenthe aft torque bulkhead and the strut-todiagonal brace fitting, which could result in damage to the strut and consequent separation of the strut and engine from the airplane. Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

Since we issued AD 2008–05–10, we have received reports of loose fasteners and cracks at the joint common to theaft torque bulkhead and strut-todiagonal brace fitting and one report of
