Adoption of the Amendment 

■ Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

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 AD: 

2009–02–06 Boeing: Amendment 39–15796. 

Docket No. FAA–2008–0671; Directorate 

Identifier 2008–NM–017–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective April 15, 2009. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Boeing Model 737– 

300, –400, and –500 series airplanes, 

certificated in any category; as identified in 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–53A1279, 

dated December 18, 2007. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from reports of cracking 

in the frame, or in the frame and frame 

reinforcement, common to the 1.04-inch 

nominal diameter wire penetration hole 

intended for wire routing. We are issuing this 

AD to detect and correct cracking in the 

fuselage frames and frame reinforcements, 

which could reduce the structural capability 

of the frames to sustain limit loads, and 

result in cracking in the fuselage skin and 

subsequent rapid depressurization of the 

airplane. 

Compliance 

(e) Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

Service Bulletin Reference Paragraph 

(f) The term ‘‘service bulletin,’’ as used in 

this AD, means the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

737–53A1279, dated December 18, 2007. 

(1) The ‘‘condition’’ column of paragraph 

1.E. of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737– 

53A1279, dated December 18, 2007, refers to 

total flight cycles ‘‘at the date given on this 

service bulletin.’’ This AD applies to the 

airplanes with the specified total flight cycles 

as of the effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where the service bulletin specifies to 

contact Boeing for instructions for removing 

damage and repairing cracking: Before 

further flight, remove the damage or repair 

the cracking using a method approved in 

accordance with the procedures specified in 

paragraph (i) of this AD. 

(3) Although the service bulletin 

referenced in this AD specifies to submit 

information to the manufacturer, this AD 

does not include that requirement. 

Inspections, Related Investigative and 

Corrective Actions 

(g) At the applicable time specified in 

paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of the service 

bulletin, except as specified by paragraph 

(f)(1) of this AD: Do a high frequency eddy 

current (HFEC) surface inspection or an 

HFEC hole/edge inspection for cracking of 

the 1.04-inch nominal diameter wire 

penetration hole in the frame and frame 

reinforcement, between stringer S–20 and S– 

21; and do all applicable related investigative 

and corrective actions; by accomplishing all 

the actions specified in the Accomplishment 

Instructions of the service bulletin, except as 

specified by paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(3) of 

this AD. Do all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions before 

further flight. Thereafter, repeat the 

inspections at the applicable intervals 

specified in paragraph 1.E. of the service 

bulletin. 

Terminating Action 

(h) Doing the repair in Part 3 or the 

preventative modification in Part 5 of the 

service bulletin terminates the repetitive 

inspection requirements of this AD. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(i)(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, ATTN: 

Wayne Lockett, Aerospace Engineer, 

Airframe Branch, ANM–120S, 1601 Lind 

Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98057– 

3356; telephone (425) 917–6447; fax (425) 

917–6590; has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

(2) To request a different method of 

compliance or a different compliance time 

for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 

39.19. Before using any approved AMOC on 

any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector 

(PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District 

Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local 

FSDO. 

(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 an 

Authorized Representative for the Boeing 

Commercial Airplanes Delegation Option 

Authorization Organization who 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.

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This establishes, amends, 

suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of the adoption of new 

or revised criteria, or because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, adding new 

obstacles, or changing air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient

Telephone: (405) 954–4164. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by 

establishing, amending, suspending, or 

revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums 

and/or ODPS. The complete regulators 

description of each SIAP and its 

associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP 

for an identified airport is listed on FAA 

form documents which are incorporated 

by reference in this amendment under 5 

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 

CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA 

Forms are FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–4, 

8260–5, 8260–15A, and 8260–15B when 

required by an entry on 8260–15A. 

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, in addition to 

their complex nature and the need for 

a special format make publication in the 

Federal Register expensive and 

impractical. Furthermore, airmen do not 

use the regulatory text of the SIAPs, 

Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead 

refer to their depiction on charts printed 

by publishers of aeronautical materials. 

The advantages of incorporation by 

reference are realized and publication of 

the complete description of each SIAP, 

Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on 

FAA forms is unnecessary. 

This amendment provides the affected 

CFR sections and specifies the types of 

SIAPs and the effective dates of the 

associated Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs. This amendment also identifies 

the airport and its location, the 

procedure, and the amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP as contained in the transmittal. 

Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and 

textual ODP amendments may have 

been issued previously by the FAA in a 

Flight Data Center (FDC) Notice to 

Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency 

action of immediate flight safety relating 

directly to published aeronautical 

charts. The circumstances which 

created the need for some SIAP and 

Takeoff Minimums and ODP 

amendments may require making them 

effective in less than 30 days. For the 

remaining SIAPS and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPS, an effective date 

at least 30 days after publication is 

provided. 

Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPS contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and 

Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the 

TERPS criteria were applied to the 

conditions existing or anticipated at the 

affected airports. Because of the close 

and immediate relationship between 

these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find 

that notice and public procedures before 

adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs are impracticable 

and contrary to the public interest and, 

where applicable, that good cause exists 

for making some SIAPs effective in less 

than 30 days. 

Conclusion 

The FAA has determined that this 

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. For the same 

reason, the FAA certifies that this 

amendment will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
