FAA–2011–0993; Directorate Identifier 

2011–NM–018–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This AD is effective June 18, 2012. 

(b) Affected ADs 

Certain requirements of this AD affect 

certain requirements of AD 2004–05–16, 

Amendment 39–13511 (69 FR 10917, March 

9, 2004), and AD 2005–03–11, Amendment 

39–13967 (70 FR 7174, February 11, 2005), 

corrected on March 11, 2005 (70 FR 12119). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to The Boeing Company 

Model 767–200 and –300 series airplanes, 

certificated in any category, as identified in 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767–53A0139, 

dated November 12, 2009. 

Note 1 to paragraph (c) of this AD: 

Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) 

ST01920SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/

Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/

0/082838ee177dbf62862576a4005cdfc0/

$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 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/ 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of America 

Code 53: Fuselage. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

multiple site damage cracks in the radial web 

lap and tear strap splices of the aft pressure 

bulkhead at station (STA) 1582 due to 

fatigue. We are issuing this AD to prevent 

fatigue cracking of the aft pressure bulkhead, 

which could result in rapid decompression of 

the airplane and possible damage or 

interference with the airplane control 

systems that penetrate the bulkhead, and 

consequent loss of controllability of the 

airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Repetitive Inspections 

Except as provided by paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Before the accumulation of 43,000 total 

flight cycles, or within 1,600 flight cycles 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs later, do detailed, low-frequency eddy 

current, and mid-frequency eddy current 

inspections for cracking of the aft pressure 

bulkhead at STA 1582, in accordance with 

the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing 

Alert Service Bulletin 767–53A0139, dated 

November 12, 2009. If any crack is found, 

before further flight, replace the bulkhead as 

required by paragraph (h) of this AD, or 

repair the crack in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 767–53A0139, dated 

November 12, 2009, and repeat the 

inspections thereafter at intervals not to 

exceed 1,600 flight cycles. If no crack is 

found, repeat the inspections thereafter at 

intervals not to exceed 1,600 flight cycles. 

Accomplishing the inspections required by 

this paragraph terminates the inspections 

required by paragraph (f) of AD 2005–03–11, 

Amendment 39–13967 (70 FR 7174, February 

11, 2005), corrected on March 11, 2005 (70 

FR 12119). 

(h) Replacement 

Except as provided by paragraph (g) of this 

AD: Before the accumulation of 43,000 total 

flight cycles, or within 5,000 flight cycles 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs later: Replace the aft pressure 

bulkhead at STA 1582 with a new bulkhead, 

in accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

767–53A0139, dated November 12, 2009. 

Accomplishing the replacement in this 

paragraph terminates the repetitive 

inspections required by paragraph (g) of this 

AD. Accomplishing the replacement in this 

paragraph also terminates the inspections 

required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of AD 

2004–05–16, Amendment 39–13511 (69 FR 

10917, March 9, 2004), and paragraphs (f) 

and (h) of AD 2005–03–11, Amendment 39– 

13967 (70 FR 7174, February 11, 2005), 

corrected on March 11, 2005 (70 FR 12119). 

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the

Amendment of Class D and E 

Airspace; Baltimore, MD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and E airspace at Martin State Airport, 

Baltimore, MD. The geographic 

coordinates of the Baltimore VORTAC 

are being adjusted to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database, which 

show the correct coordinates. This does 

not affect the boundaries or operating 

requirements of the airspace. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 14, 

2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

Fornito, Operations Support Group, 

Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation 

Administration, P.O. Box 20636, 

Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone (404) 

305–6364. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA is adjusting the geographic 

location of Baltimore VORTAC, 

Baltimore, MD, to be in concert with the 

FAAs aeronautical database, which 

shows the correct coordinates. This is 

an administrative change and does not 

affect the boundaries or operating 

requirements of the airspace; therefore, 

notice and public procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

The Class D and E airspace 

designations are published in 

Paragraphs 5000, 6002 and 6004 of FAA 

order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, 

and effective September 15, 2011, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends the geographic coordinates in 

the legal description of Class D airspace 

and Class E surface airspace, for Martin 

State Airport, Baltimore, MD. This 

update brings the geographic 

coordinates in concert with the FAA’s 

Aeronautical Products database. 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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. 

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 amends controlled airspace at Martin 

State Airport, Baltimore, MD.
