**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 777 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 14, 2015 (80 FR 27601) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The NPRM was prompted by reports of unreliable performance of the fuel scavenge system. The NPRM proposed to require changing the main fuel tank water scavenge system, center fuel tank fuel scavenge system, and certain electrical panels; related investigative actions; and doing corrective actions if necessary; and, for certain airplanes, changing the fuel scavenge system to give redundant control of the center override/jettison fuel pumps and main jettison fuel pumps. We are issuing this AD to prevent fuel exhaustion and subsequent power loss of all engines due to loss of capability to scavenge fuel in the center
fuel tank.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to each comment.

Request To Withdraw the NPRM

Lufthansa Cargo AG stated that the
unsafe condition addressed in the NPRM is not a safety concern and that mandating Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777–28–0078, dated September 4, 2014, is not justified. Lufthansa Cargo AG stated that the main fuel tanks must be fully loaded with fuel when a mission flight requires fuel in the center tank. Lufthansa Cargo AG explained that if the fuel scavenge system fails to scavenge the remaining fuel in the center tank, the fuel in the main tanks is still available, and therefore there is no safety concern.

We infer that the commenter requests
we withdraw the NPRM. We do not agree with the commenter’s request. The failure of fuel scavenging means that up to 2,700 pounds of fuel that is required by mission planning would not be available if needed. The actions required by this AD are necessary in order to prevent fuel exhaustion and subsequent power loss of all engines due to loss of capability to scavenge fuel
in the center fuel tank. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Requests To Remove Modification Requirement

Boeing, Aerologic GmbH, and British Airways (BAC) requested that we remove the modification required by paragraph (g) of the proposed AD, but instead mandate installation of airplane information management system (AIMS)
2 software V14 or later to address the unsafe condition. Aerologic GmbH and
BAC stated that the unsafe condition can be mitigated by incorporation of AIMS 2 software Vl4 or later, which provides an engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS) advisory message to alert the flightcrew of the status of the scavenge system and the possibility of unusable trapped fuel. Boeing stated that the trapped fuel quantity is well below reserve fuel requirements and that the flightcrew can take appropriate actions to avoid a fuel
exhaustion condition.

We do not agree with the commenters’ request. We worked with Boeing extensively on this issue in order to define a reliable automated solution, appropriate to address the severity of this safety issue. While Boeing may disagree, we have determined that relying solely on AIMS 2 software V14
or later is not sufficient to address the
identified unsafe condition under all flight conditions. The approach in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777–28–0078, Revision 1, dated April 27, 2015, yields a higher confidence of fully mitigating the safety
issue since a robust automated software solution (i.e., installing electrical load management system 2 (ELMS 2) software) removes the potential for human error to undermine the safety mitigation. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Delay AD Issuance

Boeing requested that we delay
issuance of the final rule until the modified scavenge system is certified on Model 777 airplanes equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank. Boeing stated that this will allow this final rule to require the accomplishment of Boeing Service Bulletin 777–28–0078 on all applicable airplanes and avoid the need for multiple ADs on the same subject.

We infer the commenter is requesting that we delay issuance of the final rule until a revision of Boeing Service
Bulletin 777–28–0078 is available for


### 34869 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 1, 2016 / Rules and Regulations

reference in the final rule. We do not agree with the commenter’s request. We
do not have a definitive date when the modified scavenge system will be certified on Model 777 airplanes equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank
and the related service bulletin revision will be available. To delay this action would be inappropriate, since we have
determined that an unsafe condition
exists. We have also determined that it is not warranted to delay this final rule in order to avoid issuance of multiple ADs on the same subject. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Requests To Incorporate New Service
Information and Provide Credit

Boeing, All Nippon Airways (ANA), Delta Airlines (DAL), Emirates Airline, FedEx Express, and United Airlines (UAL) requested that we revise the NPRM to incorporate Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 777–28– 0078, Revision 1, dated April 27, 2015. Boeing requested that we provide credit for prior actions done using Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777– 28–0078, dated September 4, 2014.

We agree with the commenters’ requests. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777–28–0078, Revision 1, dated April 27, 2015, provides revised instructions and top-kits to accomplish the modification. No new work is required by this revision. We have revised paragraphs (c), (g), (h)(1), (h)(2), and (i) of this AD to refer to Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777–28–0078, Revision 1, dated April 27, 2015. We have added new paragraph (j)(2) of this AD to provide credit for actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD, if those actions were performed before the effective date of this final rule using Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 777–28– 0078, dated September 4, 2014. We have redesignated paragraph (j) of the proposed AD as paragraph (j)(1) in this

AD.

Request To Revise Compliance Time

Boeing requested that we remove the wording ‘‘prior to’’ in paragraph (h)(2) of the proposed AD, which would require actions to be done concurrently with the actions specified in paragraph (g) of the proposed AD.

We agree with the commenter’s request. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777–28–0078, Revision 1, dated April 27, 2015, specifies concurrent, not prior, accomplishment of the service information specified in paragraph (h) of this AD. We have revised paragraph (h) of this AD accordingly, which does not expand the requirements of this AD. Requests To Incorporate Boeing Information Notice (IN) for New Service Bulletin, for Part Substitution,
and for Error Resolution

ANA, DAL, Emirates Airline, FedEx, and UAL requested that we include in the NPRM the information specified in Boeing IN 777–28–0078 IN 02. FedEx also requested that we include in the NPRM the information specified in Boeing IN 777–28–0078 IN 03. ANA and Emirates Airline requested that a new Boeing Service Bulletin (Revision 2 of Boeing Service Bulletin 777–28–0078) be mandated if possible.

The commenters stated that Boeing IN
777–28–0078 IN 02 clarifies the instructions in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777–28–0078, and also indicates that Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 777–28–0078 will be revised to incorporate those
clarifications.

ANA requested that a cable assembly with a different lock wire length (part number BACC13AT3K()) be allowed for use in place of part number BACCI3AT3Kl2 for the actions specified in paragraph (g) of the proposed AD. ANA also identified an error in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777– 28–0078, dated September 4, 2014, regarding the position of the connector

D11007P.

We do not agree with the commenters’ requests. We have determined that Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777–28–0078, Revision 1, dated April 27, 2015, is adequate to correct the identified unsafe condition, and the errors will not affect compliance with this AD. The information notices (IN) are issued to provide clarity and are not required to accomplish the required actions. We are working with Boeing to include the IN information and part
number substitution and other corrections in Revision 2 of Boeing
Service Bulletin 777–28–0078. Under the provisions of paragraph (k) of this AD, once Revision 2 of Boeing Service Bulletin 777–28–0078 is issued, we will consider requests to approve it as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) with this AD. In addition, AMOCs for part number substitutions can also be requested through the provisions of paragraph (k) of this AD. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Address an Integer
Overflow Error

An anonymous commenter stated that Model 777 airplanes have an integer overflow error when being operated over a certain number of days. The
commenter stated that we should require the computer to be reset before any of the overflow errors happen during flight.

We do not agree with the commenter’s request. This issue does not appear
related to the identified unsafe condition that is the subject of this final rule. However, we will investigate this
situation to make sure that the issue stated by the commenter does not exist or is addressed in a proper manner. We have not changed this final rule in this regard.

Conclusion

We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this 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 NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and

• Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM.

We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

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

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011–23– 05 for all The Boeing Company Model 737–300, –400, and –500 series airplanes. AD 2011–23–05 required repetitive inspections for cracking of the
1.04-inch nominal diameter wire penetration hole, and applicable related investigative and corrective actions. This new AD adds new inspection areas, a modification that terminates certain inspections, post-modification inspections, and repair if necessary. This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) that indicates the fuselage frames and frame reinforcements are subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the fuselage frames
and frame reinforcements that could
