Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767 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 767 airplanes. This AD requires repetitive 
inspections for cracking of the wing skin, and related investigative/
corrective actions if necessary. This AD results from reports of cracks 
found in the lower wing skin originating at the forward tension bolt 
holes of the aft pitch load fitting. We are issuing this AD to detect 
and correct cracking in the lower wing skin for the forward tension 
bolt holes at the aft pitch load fitting, which could result in a fuel 
leak and reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 28, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of April 28, 
2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to certain 
Boeing Model 767 airplanes. That supplemental NPRM was published in the 
Federal Register on May 23, 2008 (73 FR 30009). That supplemental NPRM 
proposed to require repetitive inspections for cracking of the wing 
skin, and related investigative/corrective actions if necessary.

Comments

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

Support for the Supplemental NPRM

    Boeing concurs with the contents of the proposed rule.

[[Page 12253]]

Request To Revise Compliance Time in Paragraph (f)(1) of the 
Supplemental NPRM

    Continental Airlines requests that we change the compliance time in 
paragraph (f)(1) of the supplemental NPRM from ``prior to the 
accumulation of 10,000 total flight cycles or 30,000 total flight 
hours, whichever occurs first'' to ``prior to the accumulation of 
10,000 total flight cycles or 50,000 total flight hours, whichever 
occurs first.'' Continental states that the reported cracks have been 
on airplanes with moderate (13,000+) to high (20,000+) to very high 
(37,000+) total flight cycles. According to Continental, in all cases 
but one, all of the findings have been on airplanes with moderate 
(44,000+) to high (67,000+) flight hours. Further, Continental states 
that in the case of the one airplane with high flight cycles (20,000+) 
and low flight hours (less than 23,000 hours), cyclic stresses have 
played a major role.
    We disagree with the request to change the compliance time. The 
manufacturer set the flight-hour threshold based on equivalent fatigue 
damage caused by flight hours as compared to flight cycles. The 
threshold for inspection is set below where the cracking is found. 
Setting the threshold at 50,000 total flight hours would set the 
threshold above five of eight reports. We have not changed the AD in 
this regard. However, under the provisions of paragraph (o) of this AD, 
we will consider requests for approval of an alternative compliance 
time if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the change 
in compliance time would provide an acceptable level of safety.

Request To Revise Compliance Time in Paragraph (h) of the Supplemental 
NPRM

    UPS requests that we change the flight-cycle threshold for the 
inspection specified in paragraph (h) of the supplemental NPRM. UPS 
recommends that the compliance time be 16,500 flight cycles from the 
last accomplishment of the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this 
AD, rather than 3,000 flight cycles. UPS states that the open-hole high 
frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection is set up such that a crack 
originating at the forward tension bolt hole of the aft pitch load 
fitting would be detected at the crack initiation. UPS adds that the 
corresponding interval of 16,500 flight cycles is such that if a crack 
were to develop immediately following the initial bolt open-hole HFEC 
inspection, it would not grow to a critical size before detection at 
the next inspection interval of 16,500 flight cycles.
    We disagree with the request to revise the compliance time. The 
external inspection specified in Part 1 of the Accomplishment 
Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 767-57A0097, Revision 1, dated 
October 18, 2007, will not detect cracks that are hidden by the 
fitting, but will detect these cracks only when a crack grows beyond 
the fitting. In particular, the Part 1 inspection will not detect large 
cracks growing aft that are hidden by the fitting. Also, there is a 
preload in the skin due to ``clamp-up stress'' from the bolts. These 
clamp-up stresses add to uncertainty in the analysis. The 3,000-flight-
cycle threshold will allow for additional opportunities to detect 
possible cracks once they grow beyond the fitting. In addition, the 
open-hole HFEC inspection does not detect cracks until they reach a 
detectable crack length. We have not changed the AD in this regard. 
However, under the provisions of paragraph (o) of this AD, we will 
consider requests for approval of an alternative compliance time if 
sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the change in 
compliance time would provide an acceptable level of safety.

Request To Change ``and'' to ``or'' in Paragraph (g)(1) of the 
Supplemental NPRM

    UPS requests that we change the ``and'' in paragraph (g)(1) of the 
supplemental NPRM to an ``or.'' That part of paragraph (g)(1) of the 
supplemental NPRM states, ``Do the inspection at the later time 
specified in paragraph (g)(1)(i) and (g)(1)(ii) of this AD.'' UPS 
interprets that the intent of paragraph (g)(1)(ii) of the supplemental 
NPRM is to allow airplanes that are approaching or have surpassed the 
paragraph (g)(1)(i) threshold a reasonable timeframe to accomplish Part 
2 of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 767-
57A0097, Revision 1, dated October 18, 2007. UPS also states that 
similar paragraphs elsewhere in the NPRM use ``or'' rather than 
``and.''
    We agree with the request to change the ``and'' to an ``or'' for 
the reasons stated. We have revised paragraph (g)(1) of this AD 
accordingly. We have also revised paragraph (g)(2) of this AD to make 
the same change for consistency.

Request To Limit Wording to Repaired Fastener Holes Only

    UPS requests that we revise the wording in paragraph (j)(1) of the 
supplemental NPRM to change ``the repaired wing only'' to ``repaired 
fastener hole(s) only.'' UPS states that, as the supplemental NPRM is 
written, a freeze plug repair on either the inboard or outboard forward 
tension bolt hole of the aft pitch load fitting would end the 
repetitive inspections of paragraphs (f) and (g) of the supplemental 
NPRM for both the inboard and outboard forward tension bolt holes on 
that wing.
    We disagree with the request to change the wording in paragraph 
(j)(1) of this AD. Our intention is that after doing the freeze plug 
repair specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD, the inspections 
specified in paragraphs (f) and (g) of this AD need not be done for the 
repaired wing and not just for the repaired fastener hole(s) as the 
commenter suggests. Instead of the inspections required by paragraphs 
(f) and (g) of this AD, the inspections required by paragraph (k) of 
this AD must be done. We have not changed the AD in this regard.

Request To Expand Inspection Area in Service Bulletin

    Continental requests that Boeing Service Bulletin 767-57A0097, 
Revision 1, dated October 18, 2007 (``the service bulletin''), include 
instructions for what to do if an operator finds cracks in the expanded 
area of inspection beyond the two bolt holes; or, as an option, a 
statement to contact Boeing for further disposition. Continental points 
out that Part 2 of the Work Instructions in the service bulletin 
provides disposition for any finding around the two bolt hole areas 
only.
    We disagree that instructions need to be added. The inspections 
specified in Part 1 of the service bulletin are accomplished as given 
in Figure 3 of the service bulletin. The accomplishment instructions in 
Part 1 of the service bulletin give instructions for repairing any 
crack before further flight. The instructions in Figure 3 of the 
service bulletin specify that operators should contact ``The Boeing 
Company'' for repair instructions. Paragraph (l) of this AD states that 
where the service bulletin specifies to contact Boeing for appropriate 
action, operators must repair the cracking using a method approved in 
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (o) of this AD. 
We have not changed the AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the 
comments received, and determined that air safety and the public 
interest require adopting the AD with the change described previously. 
We have determined that this change will neither increase the

[[Page 12254]]

economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 918 airplanes of the affected design in the 
worldwide fleet, and about 387 airplanes of U.S. Registry. The 
following table provides the estimated costs, at an average labor rate 
of $80 per hour, 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.
