SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 16, 1986, the Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, 
Aircraft Certification Service, issued Policy Statement Number PS-
ANM100-1986-00051, Policy Regarding Use of H-11 Bolts in Primary 
Structure on Transport Airplanes. This policy statement addressed the 
adverse service history on H-11 bolts used in primary structure.
    The FAA issued AC 20-127, Use of Society of Automotive Engineers 
(SAE) Class H11 Bolts, on July 8, 1987. The AC incorporates the same 
guidance as the older policy statement. The FAA should have cancelled 
the policy when they issued the AC but overlooked it.

Cancellation of Policy Statement

    As a result of the issuance of AC 20-127, Policy Statement Number 
PS-ANM100-1986-00051 is no longer in effect and is herewith cancelled.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on March 1, 2016.
Michael Kaszycki,
Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service, ANM-100.
