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 757–200 

and –200PF series airplanes. This AD 

was prompted by reports indicating that 

a standard access door was located 

where an impact-resistant access door 

was required, and stencils were missing 

from some impact-resistant access 

doors. This AD requires an inspection of 

the left- and right-hand wing fuel tank 

access doors to determine that impactresistant access doors are installed in 

the correct locations, and to replace any 

door with an impact-resistant access 

door if necessary. This AD also requires 

an inspection for stencils and index 

markers on impact-resistant access 

doors, and application of new stencils 

or index markers if necessary. This AD 

also requires revising the maintenance 

program to incorporate changes to the 

airworthiness limitations section. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent foreign 

object penetration of the fuel tank, 

which could cause a fuel leak near an 

ignition source (e.g., hot brakes or 

engine exhaust nozzle), consequently 

leading to a fuel-fed fire. 

DATES: This AD is effective December 

30, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of December 30, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 227 / Monday, November 25, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 70197 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on August 14, 2013 (78 FR 

49379). The NPRM proposed to require 

an inspection of the left- and right-hand 

wing fuel tank access doors to 

determine that impact-resistant access 

doors are installed in the correct 

locations, and to replace any door with 

an impact-resistant access door if 

necessary. The NPRM also proposed to 

require an inspection for stencils and 

index markers on impact-resistant 

access doors, and application of new 

stencils or index markers if necessary. 

The NPRM also proposed to require 

revising the maintenance program to 

incorporate changes to the airworthiness 

limitations section. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

have considered the comments received. 

The Boeing Company and Aviation 

Partners Boeing stated that they support 

the NPRM. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 

49379, August 14, 2013) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 49379, 

August 14, 2013). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 86 

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 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Inspection ................................ 8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ..................................... $0 $680 $58,480 

Maintenance program revision 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......................................... 0 85 7,310 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacements that would 

be required based on the results of the 

inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these replacements. 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Replacement per door ..................... 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ........................................................ $8,000 $8,255 

Stencil and index marker ................. 4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ........................................................ 0 340 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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.

Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG 

(RRD) model Tay 620–15, 650–15, and 

651–54 turbofan engines. This AD 

requires a one-time inspection of the 

high-pressure (HP) air bleed valve 

operating mechanism and, depending 

on findings, corrective action. This AD 

was prompted by excessive 

deterioration of the HP air bleed valve 

operating mechanism, which is 

influencing the aerodynamic fan flutter 

margin. This condition, if not corrected, 

could lead to multiple fan blade failure. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent 

multiple fan blade failure, which could 

result in uncontained engine failure and 

damage to the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

December 30, 2013. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of December 30, 2013.
