AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for The 

Boeing Company Model 707 airplanes, 

Model 720 and 720B series airplanes, 

Model 727 airplanes, and Model 737–

22600 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 78 / Wednesday, April 23, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

100, –200, and –200C series airplanes. 

This proposed AD was prompted by a 

report of a fire which originated near the 

first officer’s area and caused extensive 

damage to the flight deck on a different 

airplane model. This proposed AD 

would require replacing the lowpressure oxygen hoses with nonconductive low-pressure oxygen hoses 

in the flight compartment. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent 

inadvertent electrical current from 

passing through an internal, anticollapse spring of the low-pressure 

oxygen hose, which can cause the lowpressure oxygen hose to melt or burn, 

leading to an oxygen-fed fire and/or 

smoke in the flight deck. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 9, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

We invite you to send any written 

relevant data, views, or arguments about 

this proposal. Send your comments to 

an address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA– 

2014–0252; Directorate Identifier 2013– 

NM–213–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this proposed AD. We will 

consider all comments received by the 

closing date and may amend this 

proposed AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

We received a report indicating that, 

on certain The Boeing Company Model 

757 airplanes, a fire originated near the 

first officer’s area, which caused 

extensive damage to the flight deck. A 

Boeing investigation found that the low 

pressure flexible hoses in the 

pressurized flightcrew oxygen system 

can potentially be conductive because of 

the anti-kink metallic spring inside the 

hose. The flight crew oxygen system on 

The Boeing Company Model 707 

airplanes, Model 720 and 720B series 

airplanes, Model 727 airplanes, and 

Model 737–100, –200, and –200C series 

airplanes is almost identical to the 

system installed on certain Model 757 

airplanes. Therefore, Model 707 

airplanes, Model 720 and 720B series 

airplanes, Model 727 airplanes, and 

Model 737–100, –200, and –200C series 

airplanes may be subject to the unsafe 

condition revealed on certain Model 757 

airplanes. This proposed AD is being 

issued to prevent inadvertent electrical 

current, which can cause the lowpressure flex-hose of a flight crew or 

supernumerary oxygen system to melt 

or burn, resulting in oxygen system 

leakage and smoke or fire. 

Related Rulemaking 

On March 29, 2010, we issued AD 

2010–06–17, Amendment 39–16242 (75 

FR 15328, March 29, 2010), applicable 

to certain Model 757 airplanes. AD 

2010–06–17 currently requires 

inspecting to verify the part number of 

the low-pressure flex-hoses of the 

flightcrew and supernumerary oxygen 

system installed under the oxygen mask 

stowage box at a flightcrew and 

supernumerary oxygen mask location 

and replacing with a new nonconductive low-pressure flex-hose of the 

oxygen system if necessary. AD 2010– 

06–17 was prompted by reports of a 

low-pressure flex-hose of a flightcrew 

oxygen system that burned through due 

to inadvertent electrical current from a 

short circuit in an adjacent audio select 

panel. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Boeing Alert Service 

Bulletin A3538, dated October 2, 2013; 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 727– 

35A0031, dated July 18, 2013; and 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737– 

35A1140, dated August 28, 2013. For 

information on the procedures, see this 

service information at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

Docket No. FAA 2014–0252. 

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 identified 

previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 530 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD:

Replace oxygen hoses .................... Up to 17 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,445 ................ $297 Up to $1,742 ...... Up to $923,260. 

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. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

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.
