AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 767–200, 

–300, and –400ER series airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by a report 

of the engine indication and crew 

alerting system (EICAS) display system 

malfunctioning during flight. This 

proposed AD would require an 

inspection for plastic couplings, 

corrective actions if necessary, and 

installation of new spray shrouds. We 

are proposing this AD to prevent an 

uncontrolled water leak from a defective 

potable water system coupling, which 

could cause the main equipment center 

(MEC) line replaceable units (LRUs) to 

become wet, resulting in an electrical 

short and potential loss of several 

functions essential for safe flight. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by September 29, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

47598 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 157 / Thursday, August 14, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

Discussion 

We received a report of the EICAS 

display system malfunctioning during 

flight. An investigation determined that 

the problems were caused by a water 

leak from a fractured plastic potable 

water coupling. We are proposing this 

AD to prevent an uncontrolled water 

leak from a defective potable water 

system coupling. This condition, if not 

corrected, could cause the MEC LRUs to 

become wet, resulting in an electrical 

short and potential loss of several 

functions essential for safe flight. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Boeing Alert Service 

Bulletin 767–38A0073, dated November 

12, 2013. For information on the 

procedures and compliance times, see 

this service information at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2014– 

0571. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of these same 

type designs. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously. 

The phrase ‘‘corrective actions’’ is 

used in this proposed AD. ‘‘Corrective 

actions’’ are actions that correct or 

address any condition found. Corrective 

actions in an AD could include, for 

example, repairs. 

Explanation of ‘‘RC’’ Steps in Service 

Information 

The FAA worked in conjunction with 

industry, under the Airworthiness 

Directives Implementation Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee, to enhance the 

AD system. One enhancement was a 

new process for annotating which steps 

in the service information are required 

for compliance with an AD. 

Differentiating these steps from other 

tasks in the service information is 

expected to improve an owner’s/

operator’s understanding of crucial AD 

requirements and help provide 

consistent judgment in AD compliance. 

The actions specified in the service 

information described previously 

include steps that are labeled as RC 

(required for compliance) because these 

steps have a direct effect on detecting, 

preventing, resolving, or eliminating an 

identified unsafe condition. 

As noted in the specified service 

information, steps labeled as RC must be 

done to comply with the proposed AD. 

However, 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 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 will require approval of 

an alternative method of compliance. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 139 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Part 1—General visual inspection.Up to 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ........................... $0 $255 $35,445 

Part 2—General visual inspection (Groups 9 and 10).2 work-hours × 85 per hour = 170 ......................................... 0 170 5,440 

Install spray shrouds ............... 3 work-hours × 85 per hour = 255 ......................................... 330 585 81,315 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacements that would 

be required based on the results of the 

proposed inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need this replacement: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Replacement of coupling ................. 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ............................................................ $53 $183 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this proposed AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

individuals. We do not control warranty 

coverage for affected individuals. As a 

result, we have included all costs in our 

cost estimate. 

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. 

We are 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 

We determined that this proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would 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.

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

the DOT Regulatory Policies and 

Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 

1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) 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.
