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): 

2014–22–09 The Boeing Company: 

Amendment 39–18014 ; Docket No. 

FAA–2014–0430; Directorate Identifier 

2014–NM–083–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective December 17, 2014. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

(1) This AD applies to all The Boeing 

Company Model 767–200, –300, –300F, and 

–400ER series airplanes, certificated in any 

category. 

(2) Installation of Supplemental Type 

Certificate (STC) ST01920SE (http://

rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_

Library/rgstc.nsf/0/

59027f43b9a7486e86257b1d006591ee/$FILE/

ST01920SE.pdf) does not affect the ability to 

accomplish the actions required by this AD. 

Therefore, for airplanes on which STC 

ST01920SE is installed, a ’’change in 

product’’ alternative method of compliance 

(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to 

comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 

39.17. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 27, Flight Controls. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report of a 

trailing edge (TE) flap rotary actuator that 

had slipped relative to its mating reaction 

ring, which is attached to the flap support 

rib. We are issuing this AD to detect and 

correct flap rotary actuator gear 

disengagement from its mating reaction ring. 

This disengagement with flaps extended 

could cause an uncommanded roll due to 

flap blowback, overload, or flap departure 

from the airplane, which could compromise 

safe flight and landing of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Repetitive Inspections, Related 

Investigative Actions, and Corrective 

Actions 

Except as provided by paragraph (h) of this 

AD, at the applicable time specified in 

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

Alert Service Bulletin 767–27A0229, dated 

March 4, 2014: Do a detailed inspection for 

corrosion of the rotary actuator assembly 

fixed ring gear and reaction ring splines for 

each support position; and do all applicable 

related investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary; in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 767–27A0229, dated March 

4, 2014. Do all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions before 

further flight. Repeat the inspection of the 

rotary actuator assembly fixed ring gear and 

reaction ring splines for each support 

position thereafter at the applicable intervals 

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

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767–27A0229, 

dated March 4, 2014. 

(h) Exception to the Requirements of 

Paragraph (g) of this AD 

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

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767–27A0229, 

dated March 4, 2014, specifies a compliance 

time ‘‘after the original issue date of this 

service bulletin,’’ this AD requires 

compliance within the specified compliance 

time ‘‘after the effective date 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) 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) If the service information contains steps 

that are labeled as RC (Required for 

Compliance), those steps must be done to 

comply with this AD; any steps that are not 

labeled as RC are recommended. Those steps 

that are not labeled as RC may be deviated 

from, done as part of other actions, or done 

using accepted methods different from those 

identified in the specified service 

information without obtaining approval of an 

AMOC, provided the steps labeled as RC can 

be done and the airplane can be put back in 

a serviceable condition. Any substitutions or 

changes to steps labeled as RC require 

approval of an AMOC.

RIN 2120–AH11 

Disposition of Life Limited Aircraft 

Parts; Technical Amendment 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final 

rule published in the Federal Register 

on January 15, 2002 (67 FR 2110). In 

that rule, the FAA amended its 

regulations to require that all persons 

who remove any life-limited aircraft 

part safely control that part, to deter the 

installation of that part after it has 

reached its life limit. The rule reduced 

the risk of life-limited parts being used 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 218 / Wednesday, November 12, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 67055 

beyond their life limits. The rule also 

required that type certificate and design 

approval holders of life-limited parts 

provide instructions on how to mark a 

part indicating its current status, when 

requested by persons removing such a 

part. This document corrects error in the 

codified text of that document. 

DATES: This amendment becomes 

effective: November 12, 2014.

action, contact Marcus Cunningham,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Good Cause for Immediate Adoption 

Without Prior Notice 

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 seeking comment 

prior to the rulemaking. 

Section 553(d)(3) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act requires 

that agencies publish a rule not less 

than 30 days before its effective date, 

except as otherwise provided by the 

agency for good cause found and 

published with the rule. 

This document is correcting an error 

that is in 14 CFR 43.10(c)(6). This 

correction will not impose any 

additional restrictions on the persons 

affected by these regulations. 

Furthermore, any additional delay in 

making the regulations correct would be 

contrary to the public interest. 

Accordingly, the FAA finds that (i) 

public comment on these standards 

prior to promulgation is unnecessary, 

and (ii) good cause exists to make this 

rule effective in less than 30 days. 

Background 

On January 15, 2002, the FAA 

published a final rule entitled, ‘‘Safe 

Disposition of Life Limited Aircraft 

Parts’’ (67 FR 2110). 

In that final rule, the FAA revised the 

regulations to require that all persons 

who remove any life-limited aircraft 

part to safely control that part to deter 

the installation of that part after it has 

reached its life limit. When published, 

a typographical error was created and 

the word ‘‘product’’ was inadvertently 

replaced with the word ‘‘produce’’ in 14 

CFR 43.10(c)(6). 

Technical Amendment 

The technical amendment will 

replace the word ‘‘produce’’ with the 

word ‘‘product’’ in § 43.10(c)(6). 

Because the changes in this technical 

amendment result in no substantive 

change, we find good cause exists under 

5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 43 

Aircraft, Aviation safety, Life-limited 

parts, Reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. 

The Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

amends chapter I of title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations as follows: 

PART 43—MAINTENANCE, 

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, 

REBUILDING, AND ALTERATION 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 43 

continues to read as follows: 

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

44703, 44705, 44707, 44711, 44713, 44717, 

44725. 

■ 2. Revise § 43.10(c)(6) to read as 

follows: 

§ 43.10 Disposition of life-limited aircraft 

parts. 

* * * * * 

(c) * * * 

(6) Mutilation. The part may be 

mutilated to deter its installation in a 

type certificated product. The 

mutilation must render the part beyond 

repair and incapable of being reworked 

to appear to be airworthy. 

* * * * * 

Issued under authority of 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 

44701(a), and 44707 in Washington, DC, on 

November 5, 2014.

Clarifications and Corrections to the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR): Control of Spacecraft Systems 

and Related Items the President 

Determines No Longer Warrant Control 

Under the United States Munitions List 

(USML) 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule makes 

clarifications and corrections to an 

interim final rule that was published on 

May 13, 2014. The May 13 rule added 

controls to the Export Administration 

Regulations (EAR) for spacecraft and 

related items that the President has 

determined no longer warrant control 

under United States Munitions List 

(USML) Category XV—spacecraft and 

related items. New Export Control 

Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 9A515, 

9B515, 9D515, and 9E515 created by the 

May 13 rule and existing ECCNs on the 

Commerce Control List (CCL) will 

control such items. The May 13 rule 

also revised various sections of the EAR 

to provide the proper level of control for 

the new ECCNs. The vast majority of the 

changes included in the May 13 rule 

have been implemented as published in 

the interim final rule, so those change 

are not republished in this final rule. A 

full description of those changes can be 

found in the Background section and 

the regulatory text of the May 13 rule. 

The changes included in this final rule 

are limited to corrections and 

clarifications to what was included in 

the interim final rule. These corrections 

and clarifications were also informed by 

comments received in response to the 

May 13 rule that included a request for 

comments. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is 

effective November 10, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions about the ECCNs included in 

this rule, contact Dennis Krepp, Office 

of National Security and Technology 

Transfer Controls, Bureau of Industry 

and Security, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, Telephone: 202–482–1309,
