14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2010-1160; Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-148-AD; 
Amendment 39-17698; AD 2013-25-02]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2000-11-06 for 
certain The Boeing Company Model 767 airplanes. AD 2000-11-06 required 
repetitive inspections to detect discrepancies of the wiring and 
surrounding Teflon sleeves of the fuel tank boost pumps and override/
jettison pumps; replacement of the sleeves with new sleeves, for 
certain airplanes; and repair or replacement of the wiring and sleeves 
with new parts, as necessary. This new AD requires reducing the initial 
compliance time and repetitive inspection interval in AD 2000-11-06; 
mandates a terminating action for the repetitive inspections to 
eliminate wire damage; removes certain airplanes from the 
applicability; and requires revising the maintenance program to 
incorporate changes to the airworthiness limitations section. This AD 
was prompted by fleet information indicating that the repetitive 
inspection interval in AD 2000-11-06 is too long, because excessive 
chafing of the sleeving continues to occur much earlier than expected 
between scheduled inspections. We are issuing this AD to detect and 
correct chafing of the fuel pump wire insulation and consequent 
exposure of the electrical conductor, which could result in electrical 
arcing between the wires and conduit and consequent fire or explosion 
of the fuel tank.

DATES: This AD is effective June 5, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of June 5, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a second supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking 
(SNPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2000-11-06, Amendment 
39-11754 (65 FR 34928, June 1, 2000; corrected August 1, 2000 (65 FR 
46862)). AD 2000-11-06 applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 767 
airplanes. The second SNPRM published in the Federal Register on March 
8, 2013 (78 FR 14934). We preceded the second SNPRM with a first SNPRM 
that published in the Federal Register on July 2, 2012 (77 FR 39188). 
We preceded the first SNPRM with a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
that published in the Federal Register on December 14, 2010 (75 FR 
77790). The NPRM was prompted by fleet information indicating that the 
repetitive inspection interval in AD 2000-11-06 is too long, because 
excessive chafing of the sleeving continues to occur much earlier than 
expected between scheduled inspections. The NPRM proposed to continue 
to require repetitive inspections to detect discrepancies of the wiring 
and surrounding Teflon sleeves of the fuel tank boost pumps and 
override/jettison pumps; replacement of the sleeves with new sleeves, 
for certain airplanes; and repair or replacement of the wiring and 
sleeves with new parts, as necessary. The NPRM also proposed to reduce 
the initial compliance time and repetitive inspection interval in AD 
2000-11-06. The first SNPRM proposed to mandate a terminating action 
for the repetitive inspections, to eliminate wire damage. In addition, 
the first SNPRM proposed to remove certain airplanes from the 
applicability of AD 2000-11-06. The second SNPRM proposed to require 
revising the maintenance program to incorporate changes to the 
airworthiness limitations section. We are issuing this AD to detect and 
correct chafing of the fuel pump wire insulation and consequent 
exposure of the electrical conductor, which could result in electrical 
arcing between the wires and conduit and consequent fire or explosion 
of the fuel tank.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the second 
SNPRM (78 FR 14934, March 8, 2013) and the FAA's response to each 
comment. Boeing concurred with the content of the second SNPRM.

Request To Allow Using Maintenance Manual Procedure for Repetitive 
Inspections

    United Airlines (UAL) asked that paragraphs (g), (i)(2)(i)(C), 
(i)(2)(ii), and (k) of the second SNPRM (78 FR 14934, March 8, 2013) be 
changed to allow the use of Boeing 767 Airplane Maintenance Manual 
(AMM) 28-22-15/601 when accomplishing the repetitive inspections 
required by those paragraphs. UAL stated that Boeing has incorporated 
the intent of Boeing Service Bulletin 767-28A0053, Revision 3, dated 
November 11, 2011, into Boeing 767 AMM 28-22-15/601. (Boeing Service 
Bulletin 767-28A0053, Revision 3, dated November 11, 2011, was cited as 
an appropriate source of service information in the second SNPRM.)
    We do not agree to change paragraphs (g), (i)(2)(i)(C), (i)(2)(ii), 
and (k) of this final rule to allow using Boeing 767 AMM 28-22-15/601 
for accomplishing the required repetitive inspections. The procedures 
specified in that section of the AMM are not FAA-approved. In addition, 
it is possible that not all operators have a current version of the AMM 
in their maintenance programs; therefore, it is not possible for us to 
know which version of the AMM would be used for doing the inspections. 
Limiting the requirements to a specific AMM procedure and revision 
level would require an operator to get an approval of an alternative 
method of compliance (AMOC) for subsequent AMM revisions. Therefore, we 
have not changed this final rule in this regard.

Request To Clarify Certain Errors in the Service Information

    UAL asked that the second SNPRM (78 FR 14934, March 8, 2013) refer 
to the correct figure callouts (which are identified incorrectly in 
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-28A0104, Revision 1, dated March 2, 
2012). UAL stated that paragraph (l) of the second SNPRM specifies 
using Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-28A0104, Revision 1, dated 
March 2, 2012, to perform terminating action for the repetitive 
inspections required by paragraphs (g) and (k) of the second SNPRM. UAL 
also noted that it made the same request in its comments on the first 
SNPRM (77 FR 39188, July 2, 1012). UAL added that these errors were 
confirmed by Boeing, but no revised service information has been issued 
to address these errors.
    We agree with the commenter that the figure callouts are identified 
incorrectly in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-28A0104, Revision 1, 
dated March 2, 2012; however, as we specified in a similar response in 
the first SNPRM (77 FR 39188, July 2, 2012), Boeing has not yet issued 
revised service information to correct the errors. These errors are 
minor and do not affect accomplishing the actions specified in the 
service information. When revised service information is issued, 
operators may request approval of an AMOC in accordance with the 
procedures specified in paragraph (p) of this AD. We have not changed 
this final rule in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have 
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
second SNPRM (78 FR 14934, March 8, 2013) for correcting the unsafe 
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the second SNPRM (78 FR 14934, March 8, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 414 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs 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),
    (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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by 
reference, Safety.

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

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 
2000-11-06, Amendment 39-11754 (65 FR 34928, June 1, 2000; corrected 
August 1, 2000 (65 FR 46862)), and adding the following new AD:

2013-25-02 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-17698; Docket No. FAA-
2010-1160; Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-148-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective June 5, 2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2000-11-06, Amendment 39-11754 (65 FR 
34928, June 1, 2000; corrected August 1, 2000 (65 FR 46862)).

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, -
300F, and -400ER series airplanes, certificated in any category, as 
identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 767-28A0053, Revision 3, dated 
November 11, 2011.
    (2) This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance 
documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance 
with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes 
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the 
areas addressed by this AD, the operator may not be able to 
accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this 
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must 
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according 
to paragraph (p) of this AD. The request should include a 
description of changes to the required actions that will ensure the 
continued operational safety of the airplane.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by fleet information indicating that the 
repetitive inspection interval in AD 2000-11-06, Amendment 39-11754 
(65 FR 34928, June 1, 2000; corrected August 1, 2000 (65 FR 46862)) 
is too long because excessive chafing of the sleeving continues to 
occur much

[[Page 24544]]

earlier than expected between scheduled inspections. We are issuing 
this AD to detect and correct chafing of the fuel pump wire 
insulation and consequent exposure of the electrical conductor, 
which could result in electrical arcing between the wires and 
conduit and consequent fire or explosion of the fuel tank.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 
unless already done.

(g) Retained Repetitive Inspections

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (a) of AD 
2000-11-06, Amendment 39-11754 (65 FR 34928, June 1, 2000; corrected 
August 1, 2000 (65 FR 46862)), with revised service information. 
Perform a detailed visual inspection to detect discrepancies--
including the presence of cuts, splits, holes, worn areas, and 
lacing ties installed on the outside of the sleeves (except at the 
sleeve ends)--of the Teflon sleeves surrounding the wiring of the 
fuel tank boost pumps and override/jettison pumps, at the earlier of 
the times specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD, in 
accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 767-28A0053, Revision 1,

28A0053, Revision 3, dated November 11, 2011. Repeat the inspection 
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 60,000 flight hours or 30,000 
flight cycles, whichever occurs first. As of the effective date of 
this AD, only Boeing Service Bulletin 767-28A0053, Revision 3, dated 
November 11, 2011, may be used to do the actions required by this 
paragraph.
    (1) Prior to the accumulation of 50,000 total flight hours, or 
within 90 days after July 6, 2000 (the effective date of AD 2000-11-
06, Amendment 39-11754 (65 FR 34928, June 1, 2000; corrected August 
1, 2000 (65 FR 46862)), whichever occurs later.
    (2) Within 18 months after July 6, 2000 (the effective date of 
AD 2000-11-06, Amendment 39-11754 (65 FR 34928, June 1, 2000; 
corrected August 1, 2000 (65 FR 46862)).

(h) Retained Corrective Actions

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (b) of AD
