Direct costs mean those expenditures 

which DNFSB incurs in search, review, 

and duplication, as applicable to 

different categories of requesters, to 

respond to requests under § 1703.105. 

Direct costs include, for example, the 

hourly salary and projected benefits 

costs of agency personnel who search 

for, review, or duplicate records in 

response to a request. Overhead 

expenses such as cost of space, and 

heating or lighting the facility in which 

DNFSB records are stored are not 

included in direct costs. 

* * * * * 

(2) * * * 

(i) If documents are requested for 

commercial use, DNFSB shall charge the 

hourly salary and projected benefits 

costs of agency personnel who search 

for and review records in response to a 

request, and for the costs of duplication 

as set out in subsection (b)(6) of this 

section. 

(ii) If documents are not sought for 

commercial use and the request is made 

by an educational or noncommercial 

scientific institution, whose purpose is 

scholarly or scientific research, or a 

representative of the news media,

inapplicable, it may be reviewed again 

to determine the applicability of other 

exemptions not previously considered. 

DNFSB may charge for the cost of such 

review. 

(iv) Copying charges. (1) Paper: $.05 

per page, if done in-house, or generally 

available commercial rate, 

approximately $0.10 per page. 

(2) Electronic media: Direct cost, 

including operator time (basic hourly 

pay plus 16%). 

(3) Audio and video cassette: Actual 

commercial rates. 

(4) Duplication of CD or DVD: Direct 

cost, including operator time (basic

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Samuel Dorsey, Aviation Safety 

Engineer, FAA, 2200 South 216th St.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to The Boeing Company Model 

767–300 airplanes with certain line 

numbers. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on April 23, 2024 (89 

FR 30284). The NPRM was prompted by 

a report that some Model 767–300 series 

airplanes that had been modified to 

operate in a freighter configuration by 

the manufacturer are missing an 

electrical support bracket for a wire 

bundle in the main equipment center. 

The missing electrical support bracket 

affects wire separation configuration 

requirements for fuel quantity 

indicating system wiring and could 

result in an electrical fault condition. In 

addition, the missing electrical support 

bracket is needed for some Model 767– 

300 cargo airplanes to accomplish the 

service bulletin required by the 

alternative actions in paragraph (h)(2)(ii) 

of AD 2020–18–16, Amendment 39– 

21237 (85 FR 62993, October 6, 2020). 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

require installing an electrical support 

bracket and re-installing wire bundles. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent 

possible ignition sources in the fuel tank 

due to an electrical fault, which, in 

combination with flammable fuel 

vapors, could result in a fuel tank 

explosion and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received comments from 

two commenters. 

The Air Line Pilots Association, 

International, supported the NPRM 

without change. 

Aviation Partners Boeing stated that 

installing winglets under Supplemental 

Type Certificate ST01920SE does not 

affect compliance with the proposed 

actions. The FAA agrees. The FAA has 

not changed this AD in this regard. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety requires 

adopting this AD as proposed. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. This AD is adopted as 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 767–24A0261, Revision 

1, dated August 17, 2022. This material 

specifies procedures for installing an 

electrical support bracket in the main 

equipment center and re-installing wire 

bundles. This material 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. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 18 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 

Installation of bracket ...................................... 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ............. $93 $348 $6,264 

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. 

The FAA is 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(3) 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.
