Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -
300, -400, and -500 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for 
certain Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series 
airplanes. This AD requires repetitive eddy current inspections for 
cracks of the countersunk rivet holes in the lower lobe, adjacent to 
the radio altimeter cutouts; additional inspections, for certain 
airplanes, for cracks and/or corrosion; and further investigative and 
corrective action if any crack is found. This AD also provides an 
optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This AD 
results from reports of cracks in the fuselage skin of the lower lobe. 
We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracks of the 
countersunk rivet holes, which could result in cracks of the fuselage

[[Page 56352]]

skin of the lower lobe, and consequent rapid depressurization of the 
cabin.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 1, 2005.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of November 1, 
2005.

ADDRESSES section. This docket number is FAA-2005-20627; the 
directorate identifier for this docket is 2004-NM-39-AD.

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to certain Boeing Model 
737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. That NPRM 
was published in the Federal Register on March 17, 2005 (70 FR 12982). 
That NPRM proposed to require repetitive eddy current inspections for 
cracks of the countersunk rivet holes in the lower lobe, adjacent to 
the radio altimeter cutouts; additional inspections, for certain 
airplanes, for cracks and/or corrosion; and further investigative and 
corrective action if any crack is found. That NPRM also proposed to 
provide an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the 
development of this AD. We have considered the comments that have been 
received on the NPRM.

Request to Add Note to Provide Inspection Deviations for Existing 
Repairs

    One commenter, an airplane operator, states that paragraph (g) of 
the NPRM does not address inspection deviations for airplanes that 
already have the repair doubler installed in accordance with Boeing 
Service Bulletin 737-53-1117. The commenter observes that, as the 
paragraph is currently worded, operators of these airplanes would be 
required to do an eddy current inspection in accordance with Part I of 
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1230, dated June 13, 
2002. The commenter points out that operators of these airplanes would 
be forced to remove the doubler in order to do the eddy current 
inspection. The commenter notes that the section of the NPRM titled 
``Relevant Service Information'' describes what to do for existing 
repairs, and states that this section matches Part II, Item 3, Note (a) 
of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1230. The commenter 
proposes that a similar note be added to paragraph (g) of the NPRM to 
provide inspection deviations for existing repairs.
    We partially agree with the commenter. We agree that paragraph (g) 
of the NPRM is unclear with regard to the inspection options for the 
body station (BS) 390 cutout that has been previously modified in 
accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1117, Revision 1, dated 
April 6, 1989. If an operator has removed the doubler for other 
reasons, the current description in paragraph (g) of the NPRM would be 
sufficient; however, it would be beneficial to operators if the final 
rule provided optional inspections that could be performed without 
removing the doubler. We disagree with using the exact wording of Part 
II, Item 3, Note (a) of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-
53-1230, dated June 13, 2002. The instructions in that note describe 
specific actions affiliated with the preventive modification. The 
preventive modification, which includes inspection, can be accomplished 
in lieu of the initial inspection and will terminate ongoing 
inspections for that cutout only. However, we have revised paragraph 
(g) of the final rule to address inspection deviations for airplanes 
that already have the repair doubler.

Request to Clarify Wording in Paragraph (i)

    Two commenters request that we reword paragraph (i) of the NPRM to 
make the requirements more clear. One commenter states that the 
conditions listed in paragraph (i) do not clearly state that all three 
conditions need to be met. The other commenter states that, with the 
current wording in paragraph (i), it is unclear if the inspections in 
Table 1 are required if one or both of the following conditions occur: 
A crack at BS 390, and an external doubler not installed. The commenter 
then suggests that paragraph (i) of the NPRM be revised as follows: 
``For any airplane in Group 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the special attention 
service bulletin, before or at the same time as the repair in paragraph 
(h) of this AD, inspect in accordance with Table 1 of this AD if one of 
the following conditions exist: (1) A skin crack at the cutout at BS 
390 was found during any inspection including inspections required by 
paragraphs (g), (h), or (j) of this AD, or (2) an external repair 
doubler installed in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-
1117, Revision 1, dated April 6, 1989, has not previously been 
installed.''
    We partially agree. We agree that there is confusion in the 
interpretation of the requirements. The confusion is because the repair 
doubler installed in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-
1117, which is not mandated by this final rule, is on an adjacent piece 
of fuselage skin, and extends into the area addressed by the NPRM. 
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1230 does not clearly 
address this additional configuration, so we agree that we should 
provide further clarification in the final rule so that operators have 
adequate instructions for compliance. We disagree with the exact 
wording change that the commenter proposes because all of the 
conditions must exist to perform the additional inspections addressed 
by paragraph (i). We have revised paragraph (i) of the final rule to 
provide the necessary clarification. This revision made it necessary to 
add new paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) to the final rule. We have re-
lettered the subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Request to Add Requirement to ``Pre-Form'' the External Doubler

    One commenter, the manufacturer, suggests that we add a requirement 
to ``pre-form'' the external doubler to the contour of the airplane 
prior to installation. The commenter states the repair and modification 
instruction in Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1117 do

[[Page 56353]]

not specify a requirement to contour the repair or modification 
doublers. These doublers are 0.1 inch or 0.08 inch thick respectively, 
which may create some pull-up pre-stresses in the skin during 
installation unless they are pre-formed. The commenter points out that 
the skin in this area is 0.063 inch thick, so the concern for pre-
stress is minimal. However, in the interest of time, in lieu of issuing 
a revision to the service bulletin to address the pre-form issue, the 
commenter suggests that we add this requirement to the final rule. The 
commenter states that there have not been any reports of cracks or 
other discrepancies in service from these doublers.
    We disagree with the commenter. This rule addresses issues 
associated with safety related cracking that are not addressed by other 
mandated programs. The commenter states that this lack of ``pre-
forming'' information has not lead to safety related cracking. 
Therefore, we conclude that this ``pre-forming'' requirement can be 
categorized as a product improvement to the existing service bulletin. 
This information is best included in the next revision of the service 
bulletin, and subsequently proposed as an alternative method of 
compliance. In addition, the repair/modification done in accordance 
with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1117, Revision 1, dated April 6, 
1989, is subject to the Repair Assessment Program operational rule, and 
would receive inspections to detect any safety related cracking caused 
by lack of pre-forming. We have not changed the final rule in this 
regard.

Request To Clarify Inspection Requirements in Paragraph (h)

    One commenter states that the reference in paragraph (i) of the 
NPRM to inspection requirements in paragraph (h) of the NPRM is 
incorrect because paragraph (h) provides for a repair, not an 
inspection instruction.
    We disagree with the commenter. Paragraph (h) states, in part: ``* 
* *'' repair the area by doing all applicable corrective and further 
investigative actions ``* * *.'' The further investigative actions are 
inspections that are done as part of the repair. We have not changed 
the final rule in this regard.

Request To Clarify ``Relevant Service Information''

    One commenter requests that we clarify the ``Relevant Service 
Information'' section of the NPRM. The commenter states that the 
sentence that says, ``for these airplanes, the preventive modification 
is removing the ten fasteners.* * *'' does not indicate clearly that 
the preventive modification is at BS 390. The commenter suggests that 
we add a reference to BS 390 to that sentence.
    We agree with the commenter that clarifying the sentence would be 
helpful. However, since that section of the preamble does not reappear 
in the final rule, no change to the final rule is necessary.

Request To Fix Typographical Error

    One commenter requests that we correct the spelling of the word 
``either'' in the heading in Table 1 of the NPRM.
    We agree with the commenter. However, this typographical error 
appeared only in the version of the NPRM that appeared in the 
Regulatory Guidance Library. The Federal Register version, which is the 
official version of the NPRM, has the word ``either'' spelled 
correctly.

Explanation of Further Changes Made To Clarify Requirements for 
Airplanes Modified in Accordance With Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-
1117

    Several commenters, noted above, were concerned about issues 
related to airplanes that have been previously modified in accordance 
with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1117. In light of these several 
concerns, we conducted a further review of Boeing Special Attention 
Service Bulletin 737-53-1230, dated June 13, 2002, which is the source 
of service information for this AD, and which also addresses, 
peripherally, airplanes modified in accordance with Boeing Service 
Bulletin 737-53-1117. The goal of our review was to determine if 
adequate instructions exist in Boeing Special Attention Service 
Bulletin 737-53-1230 for these airplanes, and, if we determined that 
the instructions were inadequate, to revise the final rule to include 
additional clarifying language for operators of these airplanes. We 
have concluded that additional clarifying language is necessary. The 
additional clarifying language does not increase the scope of work that 
was previously described in the NPRM, however it does allow relieving 
options for affected operators. The three clarifications included in 
the final rule are described below.
    1. We have clarified the inspection options for the BS 390 cutout 
in paragraph (g) of the final rule, as noted above in ``Request to Add 
Note to Provide Inspection Deviations for Existing Repairs.''
    2. We have clarified paragraph (h) of the final rule to include 
instructions for repairs at BS 390 ``with doubler installed.'' 
Airplanes in this configuration are not addressed in Boeing Special 
Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1230, dated June 13, 2002, Table C, 
Part III--Repair. Therefore, paragraph (h), though adequate in the 
NPRM, has been revised in the final rule to specifically require repair 
of these airplanes according to a method approved by the Manager, 
Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA; or according to data 
meeting the certification basis of the airplane approved by an 
Authorized Representative for the Boeing Delegation Option 
Authorization Organization who has been authorized by the Manager, 
Seattle ACO, to make those findings.
    3. We have clarified paragraph (l) of the final rule (paragraph (j) 
of the NPRM) to specify that the inspection of the fastener hole 
countersink in accordance with Figure 2 of Boeing Special Attention 
Service Bulletin 737-53-1230, dated June 13, 2002, is not required for 
modified airplanes. This inspection is part of the preventive 
modification procedures in the service bulletin. This area is not 
accessible when the external doubler is installed in accordance with 
Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1117. It is not our intent to require 
operators to remove this doubler; therefore the countersink inspection 
is not required for these airplanes in the final rule.

Explanation of Additional Changes Made to This AD

    We have simplified paragraph (h) and paragraph (k) of this AD 
(paragraph (i)(2) of the NPRM) by referring to the ``Alternative 
Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)'' paragraph of this AD for repair 
methods.
    We have also revised the ``Alternative Methods of Compliance 
(AMOCs)'' paragraph in this AD to clarify the delegation authority for 
Authorized Representatives for the Boeing Commercial Airplanes 
Delegation Option Authorization.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the 
comments that have been received, and determined that air safety and 
the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described 
previously. We have determined that these changes will neither increase 
the economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    This AD affects about 3,132 airplanes worldwide. The following 
table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators to comply with 
this AD.

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 have determined that this AD will not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (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) 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to 
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES 
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in the lower lobe 
fuselage skin of the affected airplanes. We are issuing this AD to 
detect and correct fatigue cracks of the countersunk rivet holes, 
which could result in cracks of the fuselage skin of the lower lobe, 
and consequent rapid depressurization of the cabin.

Compliance

    (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this 
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the 
actions have already been done.

Service Bulletin Reference

    (f) The term ``special attention service bulletin,'' as used in 
this AD, means the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special 
Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1230, dated June 13, 2002.

Repetitive Inspections

    (g) Before the airplane accumulates 20,000 total flight cycles, 
or within 4,500 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, 
whichever occurs later: Do the inspection in paragraph (g)(1) of 
this AD; or, for airplanes with an external repair doubler installed 
at body station (BS) 390, do the inspection in paragraph (g)(2) of 
this AD in lieu of the inspection in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD for 
BS 390 only; inspections at all other body stations must be done in 
accordance with paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. Repeat the applicable 
inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 4,500 flight 
cycles.
    (1) Do an eddy current inspection for cracks of the surface area 
around the satellite holes of the radio altimeter cutouts between BS 
390 and BS 450. Do the inspection with the fasteners installed in 
accordance with the special attention service bulletin.
    (2) For airplanes that have an external repair doubler installed 
at BS 390 only, in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-
1117, Revision 1, dated April 6, 1989, do an eddy current inspection 
of the external doubler for cracks around the satellite holes of the 
radio altimeter cutout; and do an eddy current inspection for cracks 
of the fuselage skin along the aft edge of the doubler from S-28L to 
S-28R. Do the inspections with the fasteners installed in accordance 
with the procedures in Figure 1 of the special attention service 
bulletin.

Repair

    (h) If any crack is found during any eddy current inspection 
required by this AD: Before further flight, repair the area by doing 
all applicable corrective and further investigative actions in 
accordance with the special attention service bulletin. 
Accomplishment of the repair terminates the repetitive inspection 
requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD for the repaired area. 
Where the special attention service bulletin specifies to contact 
Boeing for appropriate action; for instructions about how to repair 
certain conditions, including repairs at BS 390 ``with doubler 
installed''; or where lack of specific repair instructions exist: 
Before further flight, repair using a method approved in accordance 
with paragraph (m) of this AD.

Additional Inspection and Repair for Certain Airplanes

    (i) For any airplane in Group 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the special 
attention service bulletin: Before or at the same time as the 
actions in paragraph (h) of this AD, inspect in accordance with 
Table 1 of this AD if both conditions in paragraphs (i)(1) and 
(i)(2) of this AD exist.
    (1) A skin crack at the cutout at BS 390 was found during any 
inspection, including the inspections required by paragraphs (g), 
(h), and (j) of this AD.
    (2) An external repair doubler has not been previously installed 
in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1117, Revision 1, 
dated April 6, 1989.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrective Actions

    (j) If any crack at the equipment cooling duct cutout is found 
that is less than 3 inches in length during the inspection required 
by paragraph (i) of this AD: Before further flight, stop-drill the 
crack or cracks and install an external repair doubler in accordance 
with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 737-
53-1117, Revision 1, dated April 6, 1989; or repair in accordance 
with Part III of the special attention service bulletin. If the 
special attention service bulletin specifies to contact Boeing for 
appropriate Action: Before further flight, repair using a method 
approved in accordance with paragraph (m) of this AD. Accomplishment 
of the repair terminates the repetitive inspection requirements of 
paragraph (g) of this AD for the repaired area.
    (k) If any corrosion is found, or if any crack is found that is 
3 inches in length or greater during the inspection required by 
paragraph (i) of this AD: Before further flight, repair using a 
method approved in accordance with paragraph (m) of this AD.

    Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a general visual inspection 
is: ``A visual examination of an interior or exterior area, 
installation, or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure, or 
irregularity. This level of inspection is made from within touching 
distance unless otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to 
ensure visual access to all surfaces in the inspection area. This 
level of inspection is made under normally available lighting 
conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or 
droplight and may require removal or opening of access panels or 
doors. Stands, ladders, or platforms may be required to gain 
proximity to the area being checked.''


    Note 2: For the purposes of this AD, a detailed inspection is: 
``An intensive examination of a specific item, installation, or 
assembly to detect damage, failure, or irregularity. Available 
lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good 
lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as 
mirror, magnifying lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface cleaning 
and elaborate procedures may be required.''

Optional Terminating Action

    (l) Installing preventive modification doublers in accordance 
with the special attention service bulletin, including the 
additional eddy current inspection with the fasteners removed (with 
no crack finding), terminates the repetitive inspection requirements 
of paragraph (g) of this AD. Where Figure 2 of the special attention 
service bulletin specifies to ``eddy current countersink inspect and 
open hole probe inspect the 16 satellite holes,'' and the airplane 
has an external repair doubler installed in accordance with the 
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1117, 
Revision 1, dated April 6, 1989; that inspection is not required by 
this AD. If any crack is found during the eddy current inspection 
specified by this paragraph: Before further flight, discontinue the 
preventive modification and do the applicable actions in paragraph 
(h) of this AD.

Alternative Methods of Compliance

    (m)(1) In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, the Manager, Seattle 
Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), is authorized to approve 
alternative methods of compliance (AMOCs) for this AD.
    (2) 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 Delegation Option
