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 787–8 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by a 

report that certain center and outboard 

stowage bin modules were incorrectly 

installed. This AD requires an 

inspection of the center and outboard 

stowage bin modules for missing parts, 

quick release pins that are not fully 

engaged, and parts that are installed in 

incorrect locations; and corrective 

actions if necessary. We are issuing this 

AD to detect and correct incorrectly 

installed center and outboard stowage 

bin modules that might not remain 

intact during an emergency landing, 

resulting in injuries to occupants and 

interference with airplane evacuation. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 27, 

2016. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of July 27, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain The Boeing Company 

Model 787–8 airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 17, 2015 (80 FR 71745), (‘‘the 

NPRM’’). The NPRM was prompted by 

a report that certain center and outboard 

stowage bin modules were incorrectly 

installed. The NPRM proposed to 

require an inspection of the center and 

outboard stowage bin modules for 

missing parts, quick release pins that are 

not fully engaged, and parts that are 

installed in incorrect locations; and 

corrective actions if necessary. We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct 

incorrectly installed center and 

outboard stowage bin modules that 

might not remain intact during an 

emergency landing, resulting in injuries 

to occupants and interference with 

airplane evacuation. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comment 

received on the NPRM and the FAA’s 

response to that comment. 

Request To Include Additional 

Illustrations in Service Information 

United Airlines stated that it would 

be helpful if the service information 

provided examples (illustrations or 

descriptions) of incorrectly installed 

parts that required removal. We infer 

that the commenter is requesting a 

revision to the service information to 

include examples of incorrectly 

installed parts. 

We disagree with the commenter’s 

request. We consider that it would be 

potentially confusing to show examples 

of possible incorrect part installations. 

We have determined that the service 

information should provide detailed 

illustrations of proper installation 

configurations. A general description of 

the incorrect installations is provided. 

We have not changed this final rule 

regarding this issue. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment 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 for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 


sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with RULES
40486 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 22, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51

service information. This service 

information describes procedures for

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 6 

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 ................... 222 work-hours × $85 per hour = $18,870 ......................................... $0 $18,870 $113,220 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacements that will 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 .............. 20 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,700 ........................................................................ Up to $21,191 Up to $22,891. 

According to the manufacturer, all 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.
