Background 

The electrical bonding of the engine 

fuel feed tube penetrating the fuel tanks 

of Boeing Model 747–8 series airplanes 

and other models is the primary design 

feature to prevent the development of an 

ignition source inside the fuel tank 

during a lightning strike to the engine 

nacelle. The fuel feed lightning 

protection features include the spar 

fitting that redirects the majority of 

current during a lightning event. A 

separate bonding jumper outside the 

fuel tank provides a second electrical 

path for current from lightning strikes. 

The encapsulation sealant over the fuel 

tank wall fitting inside the fuel tank 

provides additional protection. 

However, Boeing has recently 

discovered that the bonding jumper 

outside the fuel tank is failing at an 

excessive rate in addition to the known 

degradation of the primary electrical 

bonding path through the spar fitting. 

Furthermore, Boeing has reported 

finding a complete crack around the 

circumference of the fuel feed fitting 

encapsulation inside a fuel tank of a 

Model 747–8 series airplane. This 

encapsulation is designed to isolate any 

sparks/arcing generated during a 

lightning strike because of failed 

electrical bonds from flammable fuel 

vapors in the tank. This is an urgent 

safety issue, as all fuel feed lightning 

protection features now have evidence 

of compromise. The FAA has 

determined that all Model 747 airplanes 

are affected by the unsafe condition. 

A lightning strike to an engine nacelle 

combined with a latent failure of the 

lightning protection features for the 

engine fuel feed system, if not 

addressed, could result in the potential 

for ignition sources inside fuel tanks, 

which, in combination with flammable 

fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank 

explosion and consequent loss of the 

airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

FAA’s Determination 

The FAA is issuing this AD because 

the agency has determined the unsafe 

condition described previously is likely 

to exist or develop in other products of 

the same type design. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed the following 

service information. These documents 

are distinct since they apply to different 

airplane models. 

• For Model 747–8 and 747–8F series 

airplanes: Boeing Multi Operator 

Message MOM–MOM–23–0885–01B– 

R1, dated November 13, 2023. 

• For Model 747–400, 747–400D, and 

747–400F series airplanes: Boeing Multi 

Operator Message MOM–MOM–23– 

0899–01B–R1, dated November 13, 

2023. (For the 747–400D, see the 

Differences Between this AD and the 

Service Information section below.) 

• For Model 747–100, 747–100B, 

747–100B SUD, 747–200B, 747–200C, 

747–200F, 747–300, 747SR, and 747SP 

series airplanes: Boeing Multi Operator 

Message MOM–MOM–23–0907–01B, 

dated November 13, 2023. 

This service information specifies 

procedures for a detailed inspection for 

damage and a measurement of the 

electrical bonding resistance of the outtank fuel feed tube bonding jumper in 

the strut for each of the four engines, 

and a measurement of the electrical 

bonding resistance of the forward side 

of the front spar bulkhead fitting adapter 

for each of the four engines. The 

detailed inspection for damage includes 

making sure the bonding jumper 

installation is secure. 

This service information also specifies 

related investigative actions, which 

include, depending on the airplane 

configuration, a general visual 

inspection of the aft side of the front 

spar to identify the configuration of the 

fuel feed tube and bulkhead fitting 

adapter, a detailed inspection for 

damage and measurements of the 

electrical bonding resistance of the intank bonding jumper, a general visual 

inspection of the wet-side front spar 

bulkhead fitting adapter for missing and 

damaged sealant or for missing sealant 

and damage to the encapsulation seal, 

and a general visual inspection of the 

seal for the welded tube fitting 

configuration for missing and damaged 

sealant. 

This service information also specifies 

corrective actions, which include, 

depending on the airplane 

configuration, adjusting the installation 

and reworking the bonding jumper 

bonding path, replacement of the 

bonding jumper; and re-installing the 

front spar bulkhead fitting and applying 

sealant. 

This service information also specifies 

reporting findings of the inspections 

and measurements to Boeing. 

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. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires an inspection for 

damage and a measurement of the 

electrical bonding resistance of the outtank fuel feed tube bonding jumper in 

the strut for each of the four engines, a 

measurement of the electrical bonding 

resistance of the forward side of the 

front spar bulkhead fitting adapter for 

each of the four engines, applicable 

related investigative and corrective 

actions, and reporting inspection and 

measurement findings to Boeing. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

Service Information 

For Boeing Multi Operator Message 

MOM–MOM–23–0899–01B–R1, dated 

November 13, 2023, which applies to 

Model 747–400 and 747–400F series 

airplanes, the FAA has determined that 

Model 747–400D airplanes can also 

accomplish the required actions using 

that service information. Model 747– 

400D airplanes are similar in design to 

Model 747–400 and 747–400F series 

airplanes. 

Interim Action 

This AD is considered to be interim 

action. The inspection reports that are 

required by this AD will enable the 

manufacturer to obtain better insight 

into the nature, cause, and extent of the 

bonding degradation and failures, and 

eventually to develop final action to 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
83496 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 229 / Thursday, November 30, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

address the unsafe condition. Once final 

action has been identified, the FAA 

might consider further rulemaking. 

Justification for Immediate Adoption 

and Determination of the Effective Date 

Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies 

to dispense with notice and comment 

procedures for rules when the agency, 

for ‘‘good cause,’’ finds that those 

procedures are ‘‘impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ Under this section, an agency, 

upon finding good cause, may issue a 

final rule without providing notice and 

seeking comment prior to issuance. 

Further, section 553(d) of the APA 

authorizes agencies to make rules 

effective in less than thirty days, upon 

a finding of good cause. 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD without providing an opportunity 

for public comments prior to adoption. 

The FAA has found that the risk to the 

flying public justifies forgoing notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because the lightning protection 

features for the engine fuel feed system 

could fail without being detected. This 

could result in no lightning protection 

features remaining due to the latent 

failure. A lightning strike to an engine 

nacelle, in combination with flammable 

fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank 

explosion and consequent loss of the 

airplane. Accordingly, notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

are impracticable and contrary to the 

public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B). 

In addition, the FAA finds that good 

cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) 

for making this amendment effective in 

less than 30 days, for the same reasons 

the FAA found good cause to forgo 

notice and comment. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) do not apply when 

an agency finds good cause pursuant to 

5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without 

prior notice and comment. Because the 

FAA has determined that it has good 

cause to adopt this rule without notice 

and comment, RFA analysis is not 

required. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 211 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following costs 

to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

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

operators 

Inspections/measurements of 

the out-tank bonding jumper 

and front spar bulkhead fitting adapter.

Up to 6 work-hours × $85 per 

hour = Up to $510 per inspection/measurement 

cycle.

$0 Up to $510 per inspection/ 

measurement cycle.

Reporting ................................ 1 work-hour × 85 per hour = 

85 per inspection/measurement cycle.

0 85 per inspection/measurement cycle.85 per inspection/measurement cycle. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary related 

investigative and corrective actions that 

would be required based on the results 

of the inspections/measurements. The 

FAA has no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need these 

actions: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

16 CFR Chapter I 

Regulatory Review Schedule 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Notification of intent to request 

public comments: initiation and 

termination of regulatory review. 

SUMMARY: As part of its ongoing, 

systematic review of all Federal Trade 

Commission rules and guides, the 

Commission announces an updated tenyear regulatory review schedule. No 

Commission determination on the need 

for, or the substance of, the rules and 

guides listed below should be inferred 

from this notification. 

DATES: The schedule set out in this 

document is applicable November 30, 

2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Further details about specific rules or 

guides may be obtained from the contact 

person listed below for the rule or

Commission, Bureau of Consumer 

Protection, Division of Enforcement, 600

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To ensure 

its rules and industry guides remain 

relevant and are not unduly 

burdensome, the Commission reviews 

each on a ten-year schedule. Every year 

the Commission publishes its review 

schedule, with adjustments made in 

response to public input, changes in the 

marketplace, and resource demands. 

When the Commission reviews a rule 

or guide, it publishes a document in the 

Federal Register seeking public 

comment on the continuing need for the 

rule or guide, as well as the rule’s or 

guide’s costs and benefits to consumers 

and businesses. Based on this feedback, 

the Commission may modify or repeal 

the rule or guide to address public 

concerns, changed conditions, or to 

reduce undue regulatory burden. 

The Commission posts information 

about its review schedule on its 

website 1 to facilitate comment. This 

website contains an updated review 

schedule, a list of rules and guides 

previously eliminated in the regulatory 

review process, and the Commission’s 

regulatory review plan.

initiate a review of, and solicit public 

comments on, the following guide and

(https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-16/

Pursuant to the Telephone Disclosure

its updated regulatory review schedule,

schedule in the future to incorporate 

new rules, or to respond to external 

factors (such as changes in the law) or 

other considerations. 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 41 through 58. 

By direction of the Commission.
