PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 

2015–3630; Directorate Identifier 2014– 

NM–253–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by October 30, 

2015. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all The Boeing 

Company Model 747–400F series airplanes, 

certificated in any category, as identified in 

paragraph 1.A., ‘‘Effectivity,’’ of Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 747–53A2880, dated 

December 3, 2014. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 53, Fuselage. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report that an 

analysis of the production methods used to 

increase fatigue resistance of the upper 

closure fittings at the nose cargo door portal’s 

C–3 frame showed that cracking could still 

start too early to be caught in a timely 

manner by the inspection or maintenance 

program. We are issuing this AD to detect 

and correct such cracking, which could result 

in sudden decompression and loss of the 

airplane’s structural integrity. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Inspections and Corrective Actions 

Except as required by paragraph (h) of this 

AD, at the applicable time specified in 

paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing 

Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2880, dated 

December 3, 2014: Do a detailed inspection 

of the upper closure fitting, strap, and 

doubler and a surface high frequency eddy 

current (HFEC) inspection of the upper 

closure fitting at the nose cargo door portal 

for cracking, and do all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions, in 

accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

747–53A2880, dated December 3, 2014. 

Repeat the inspections at the time specified 

in paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing 

Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2880, dated 

December 3, 2014. Do the applicable 

investigative and corrective actions at the 

times specified in paragraph 1.E., 

‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing Alert Service 

Bulletin 747–53A2880, dated December 3, 

2014. 

(h) Exceptions to the Service Information 

(1) Where paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2880, 

dated December 3, 2014, refers to a 

compliance time ‘‘after the original issue date 

of this service bulletin,’’ this AD requires 

compliance within the specific compliance 

time after the effective date of this AD. 

(2) If any crack is found during any 

inspection required by this AD, and Boeing 

Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2880, dated 

December 3, 2014, specifies to contact Boeing 

for appropriate action: Before further flight, 

repair the cracking using a method approved 

in accordance with the procedures specified 

in paragraph (i) of this AD. 

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested using the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, 

send your request to your principal inspector 

or local Flight Standards District Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the manager of the ACO, send it to the 

attention of the person identified in 

paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. Information may 

be emailed to: 9-ANM-Seattle-ACO-AMOCRequests@faa.gov. 

(2) Before using any approved AMOC, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector, 

or lacking a principal inspector, the manager 

of the local flight standards district office/

certificate holding district office. 

(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable 

level of safety may be used for any repair 

required by this AD if it is approved by the 

Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization 

Designation Authorization (ODA) that has 

been authorized by the Manager, Seattle 

ACO, to make those findings. For a repair 

method to be approved, the repair must meet 

the certification basis of the airplane, and the 

approval must specifically refer to this AD. 

(4) Except as required by paragraph (h)(2) 

of this AD: For service information that 

contains steps that are labeled as Required 

for Compliance (RC), the provisions of 

paragraphs (i)(4)(i) and (i)(4)(ii) apply. 

(i) The steps labeled as RC, including 

substeps under an RC step and any figures 

identified in an RC step, must be done to 

comply with the AD. An AMOC is required 

for any deviations to RC steps, including 

substeps and identified figures. 

(ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be 

deviated from using accepted methods in 

accordance with the operator’s maintenance 

or inspection program without obtaining 

approval of an AMOC, provided the RC steps, 

including substeps and identified figures, can 

still be done as specified, and the airplane 

can be put back in an airworthy condition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

amend controlled airspace for the 

Bowman, ND, area.

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views, 

or arguments, as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address listed above. 

Commenters wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this notice must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 6, 2014, and effective 

September 15, 2014. FAA Order 

7400.9Y is publicly available as listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this proposed 

rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 6.0-mile 

radius of Bowman Regional Airport, 

Bowman, ND, to accommodate new 

standard instrument approach 

procedures. Controlled airspace is 

needed for the safety and management 

of IFR operations at the airport. This 

action also would remove Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Bowman 

Municipal Airport, Bowman, ND. The 

closing of the air traffic control tower at 

Bowman Municipal Airport has made 

this action necessary for continued 

safety within the NAS. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and 

effective September 15, 2014, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (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); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this rule, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
