SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a second
supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to certain Model 737–600, –700,
–700C, –800, and –900 series airplanes.
That second supplemental NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:39 Nov 30, 2010
Jkt 223001
March 23, 2009 (74 FR 12094). That
second supplemental NPRM proposed
to require sealing the fasteners on the
front and rear spars inside the main fuel
tank and on the lower panel of the
center fuel tank, inspecting the wire
bundle support installation in the
equipment cooling system bays to
identify the type of clamp installed and
determine whether the Teflon sleeve is
installed, and doing related corrective
actions if necessary.
Relevant Service Information
The second supplemental NPRM cited
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–
57A1279, Revision 1, dated September
25, 2008, as the appropriate source of
service information. Boeing has since
revised the service bulletin. Boeing
Service Bulletin 737–57A1279, Revision
2, dated February 2, 2010, incorporates
additional data that were included in
Boeing Information Notice (IN) 737–
57A1279 IN 02, dated September 25,
2008; 737–57A1279 IN 03, dated
October 30, 2008; and 737–57A1279 IN
04, dated March 13, 2009. This
additional information does not add
more work.
Boeing has also issued IN 737–
57A1279 IN 05, dated April 8, 2010.
This IN specifies that Model 737–800
and –900 airplanes may have an
additional clamp located at stringer 10
that requires the work shown in the
steps of Figures 6, 7, 10, and 11 of
Boeing Service Bulletin 737–57A1279,
Revision 2, dated February 2, 2010, in
the environmental control system bay of
the affected airplanes.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have
considered the comments received on
the second supplemental NPRM.
Support for the Second Supplemental
NPRM
Boeing reviewed the second
supplemental NPRM and concurred
with the contents of the proposed rule.
Request To Delay AD Action
Continental Airlines (CAL) expressed
continued concern that the
manufacturer needs to update the
maintenance service documents to
avoid inadvertently demodifying the
work that this AD requires, which
would result in potential enforcement
action against CAL. CAL commented
that to ensure compliance with the
maintenance planning data Fuel System
Airworthiness Limitations, the
requirements of Appendix H.1(a) of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
74617
25); and the requirements of sections
26.1(a), 26.1(b)(2), and 26.1(b)(3) of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
26.1(a), 14 CFR 26.1(b)(2), and 14 CFR
26.1(b)(3)); must be complied with by
the original equipment manufacturer or
type certificate holder. In addition, the
operator must also comply with section
91.1507(e) of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 91.1507(e)); and
section 121.1113(e) of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
121.1113(e)). CAL stated that these
procedures conflict with the regulations
of sections 25.1529 and 25.1729 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
25.1529 and 25.1729) and applicable
provisions of 14 CFR parts 21 and 26.
We acknowledge the commenter’s
concern. However, no new ICAs have
been developed for the design change
required by this AD. Operators and
owners are responsible for ensuring that
the configuration mandated by this AD
is maintained in accordance with
section 39.7 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 39.7).
If any new airworthiness limitations
(AWLs) related to any of the design
features mandated by this AD are
developed, we may consider additional
rulemaking to mandate incorporations
of those AWLs into operators’
maintenance programs. We have not
changed the AD in regard to this issue.
CAL cited sections 91.1507(e) of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
91.1507(e)) and other regulations and
expresses concern that the absence of
the ICAs could result in enforcement
action. That section requires operators
to include in their maintenance
programs all fuel system ICAs
developed under Special Federal
Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 88.
However, that regulation requires
operators to incorporate ICAs provided
by the design approval holder. Since no
ICAs were developed for the required
modification, operators do not violate
that regulation if their maintenance
programs do not yet contain ICAs for the
referenced design change. However,
under section 39.7 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.7), it is
still the responsibility of the operators
to keep their airplanes in a
configuration that is in compliance with
the AD. We have not changed the AD in
regard to this issue.
The FAA is working with industry to
evaluate potential changes to the AD
process that are intended to more
clearly identify how to maintain
configurations that are required for AD
compliance.

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
Request To Clarify Airplanes Subject to
Paragraph (i) of the AD
The Air Transport Association (ATA),
on behalf of its member American
Airlines (AA), requested that we clarify
the ‘‘applicability requirements’’ in
paragraph (i) of the second
supplemental NPRM to state that
modifications should be acceptable for
compliance with the AD if they were
made in accordance with Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737–57A1279, dated
January 24, 2007, and if the table in
paragraph 1.A., ‘‘Effectivity,’’ of that
service bulletin was used to correctly
determine which airplanes are subject to
the requirements of paragraph (i) of the
AD. The commenter noted that the
variable numbers following the table are
erroneous.
Lufthansa Technik (LTK) also
requested that we revise paragraph (i) of
the second supplemental NPRM. LTK
requested that we consider airplanes
with line numbers 571 through 1691
inclusive on which the referenced
actions have been performed in
accordance with Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737–57A1279, dated January
24, 2007, to be compliant with the
proposed AD.
We agree with the requests to clarify
which airplanes are subject to the
requirements of paragraph (i) of this
final rule. We have revised paragraph (i)
of this final rule to state that actions
done using the group assignments by
line numbers found in the table in
paragraph 1.A., ‘‘Effectivity,’’ and in
accordance with the original service
bulletin, Boeing Service Bulletin 737–
57A1279, dated January 24, 2007, are
acceptable for compliance with the
corresponding requirements of this AD.
Request To Allow Alternative Teflon
Sleeving Procedure
The ATA, on behalf of its member
AA, proposed an alternative sleeving
procedure. In its comment, AA stated
that the Teflon sleeve installation
cannot be accomplished as shown in
Figure 13 of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737–57A1279, dated January
24, 2007. AA stated that Figure 9 of the
service bulletin shows that the adjacent
tube conduit does not allow the sleeve
to be 3 inches long and centered on the
clamp. AA proposed that an alternative
sleeving procedure extend the sleeving
at least 1 inch beyond the edge of the
clamp. If 1 inch of sleeving cannot be
achieved, AA suggested that the
sleeving be extended as far as possible.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:39 Nov 30, 2010
Jkt 223001
We agree that clarification may be
necessary. Boeing is revising Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737–57A1279 to
address this issue. However, due to the
urgency of the unsafe condition and in
consideration of the amount of time that
has already elapsed since issuance of
the original service bulletin, we have
determined that further delay of this
final rule is not appropriate. We
disagree with the request to allow an
alternative Teflon sleeving procedure in
this final rule. We do not have sufficient
data that indicate this procedure
provides an acceptable level of safety. If
operators can provide sufficient data to
indicate that an alternative Teflon
sleeving procedure would provide an
acceptable level of safety, operators can
request approvals of AMOCs in
accordance with the requirements of
paragraph (j) of this final rule. We have
not changed the final rule regarding this
issue.
Request To Allow Alternative
Procedure To Seal Fasteners on Wing
and Main Tanks
The ATA, on behalf of its member
AA, requested that we remove the
proposed requirement to reseal the
fasteners if already done previously in
accordance with Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737–57A1279, dated January
24, 2007. In its comment, AA stated that
sealant has been previously applied at
some fastener locations in the center
tank and the wing tanks during airplane
assembly. Therefore, AA stated, it is not
possible to accomplish the steps in
Figures 14 and 15 of that service
bulletin, and AA proposed that if the
fasteners are sealed in accordance with
that service bulletin, then no further
work should be required. AA also stated
that Boeing 737–57A1279 Information
Notice (IN) 04, dated March 13, 2009,
addresses this issue.
We agree with the commenter. Boeing
737–57A1279 IN 04, dated March 13,
2009, states that for fasteners that have
been previously sealed to the
specifications of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737–57A1279, it is not required
for the existing seal to be removed and
the fastener sealed again. Boeing Service
Bulletin 737–57A1279, Revision 2,
dated February 2, 2010, incorporates the
information included in Boeing 737–
57A1279 IN 04, dated March 13, 2009.
We updated this final rule to refer to

57A1279, Revision 2, dated February 2,

2010, as an appropriate source of service
information.
Request To Reference Additional
Service Information
The ATA, on behalf of its member
AirTran Airways, requested that we
approve Boeing Information Notices 03
and 04 as sources of service information
for the supplemental NPRM. In its
comment, AirTran Airways stated that
the information notices clarify and
provide corrections to Boeing Service
Bulletin 737–57A1279, Revision 1,
dated September 25, 2008.
We partially agree. We acknowledge
that the information contained in these
notices may be useful to operators to
complete the requirements of this AD.
However, Boeing has issued Boeing
Service Bulletin 737–57A1279, Revision
2, dated February 2, 2010, to include the
information in the information notices.
We have revised the final rule
accordingly.
Explanation of Change Made to This
AD
We have revised this AD to identify
the legal name of the manufacturer as
published in the most recent type
certificate data sheet for the affected
airplane models.
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 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.
Explanation of Change to Costs of
Compliance
Since issuance of the NPRM, we have
increased the labor rate used in the
Costs of Compliance from $80 per workhour to $85 per work-hour. The Costs of
Compliance information, below, reflects
this increase in the specified hourly
labor rate.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 1,754 airplanes of the
affected design in the worldwide fleet;
of these, 645 airplanes are U.S.registered. The following table provides
the estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this final rule, at an
average hourly labor rate of $85.

Authority for This Rulemaking
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Issued in Renton, Washington on
November 18, 2010.
Ali Bahrami,
Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate,
Aircraft Certification Service.
AGENCY:
On June 25, 2010, HUD issued
a rule interpreting certain provisions of
RESPA as applied to the payment of fees
to real estate brokers and agents by
home warranty companies. The public
was invited to comment on the
interpretive rule. After reviewing and
considering the comments, HUD
determined that changes are not needed
to the interpretive rule. Through this
document, HUD responds to certain
questions raised in the comments. HUD
believes that its response to these
questions serves to provide additional
guidance relating to matters covered in
the interpretive rule and the comments.
SUMMARY:
The requirements and prohibitions
under RESPA apply to residential real
estate transactions that include a
federally related mortgage loan. Section
8 of RESPA prohibits giving and
receiving ‘‘kickbacks’’ for the referral of
real estate settlement services, and
unearned fees, involving real estate
transactions. Since 1992, HUD’s RESPA
regulations have defined ‘‘settlement
service’’ to include ‘‘homeowner’s
warranties’’. 24 CFR 3500.2(11). While a
referral of settlement services is not
compensable under RESPA, a real estate
broker or agent (or other person in a
position to refer settlement service
business) may be compensated for
services that are actual, necessary and
distinct from the primary services
provided by the real estate broker or
agent, if the services are not nominal,
and the payment is not a duplicative
charge. (See 24 CFR 3500.14(b), (c),
(g)(1), and (g)(3)).

On June 25, 2010 (75 FR 36271), HUD
issued an interpretive rule on the
propriety under Section 8 of RESPA (12
U.S.C. 2607) of payments to real estate
brokers and agents from home warranty
companies (HWCs). The interpretive
rule concluded:
(1) A payment by an HWC for
marketing services performed by real
estate brokers or agents on behalf of the
HWC that are directed to particular
homebuyers or sellers is an illegal
kickback for a referral under section 8;
(2) Depending upon the facts of a
particular case, an HWC may
compensate a real estate broker or agent
for services when those services are
actual, necessary and distinct from the
primary services provided by the real
estate broker or agent, and when those
additional services are not nominal and
are not services for which there is a
duplicative charge; and
(3) The amount of compensation from
the HWC that is permitted under section
8 for such additional services must be
reasonably related to the value of those
services and not include compensation
for referrals of business.
75 FR at 36273.
HUD received 72 comments in
response to publication of the
interpretive rule. HUD reviewed all of
the comments, and appreciates the
input and information provided by the
commenters. Some commenters
supported the interpretive rule and
others did not. HUD found that the
comments that were not supportive of
its interpretation did not present
concerns or information that warrant
any changes to the interpretive rule.
HUD, however, has identified and is
responding to seven specific questions
to provide additional guidance relating
to matters covered in the interpretive
rule and the comments.
II. Questions and Responses
1. Question: Is a home warranty
company’s flat fee payment (e.g.,
monthly or annual payment) to a real
estate broker or agent for marketing a
home warranty product directly to
particular homebuyers or sellers a
permissible payment under section 8 of
RESPA?
HUD Response: No, as provided in the
interpretive rule, payments for
marketing services directed to particular
homebuyers or sellers are considered to
be payments for affirmatively
influencing their choice of settlement
service providers and would therefore
violate section 8 of RESPA as an illegal
kickback for a referral, regardless of
whether the payment is made to the
broker or agent on a ‘‘per transaction’’ or
a ‘‘flat fee’’ basis.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes.
This AD requires sealing the fasteners on the front and
[[Page 74617]]
rear spars inside the main fuel tank and on the lower panel of the
center fuel tank, inspecting the wire bundle support installation in
the equipment cooling system bays to identify the type of clamp
installed and determine whether the Teflon sleeve is installed, and
doing related corrective actions if necessary. This AD results from a
design review of the fuel tank systems. We are issuing this AD to
prevent arcing at certain fuel tank fasteners in the event of a
lightning strike or fault current event, which, in combination with
flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and
consequent loss of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective January 5, 2011.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of January 5,
2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a second supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to
certain Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes.
That second supplemental NPRM was published in the Federal Register on
March 23, 2009 (74 FR 12094). That second supplemental NPRM proposed to
require sealing the fasteners on the front and rear spars inside the
main fuel tank and on the lower panel of the center fuel tank,
inspecting the wire bundle support installation in the equipment
cooling system bays to identify the type of clamp installed and
determine whether the Teflon sleeve is installed, and doing related
corrective actions if necessary.
Relevant Service Information
The second supplemental NPRM cited Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737-57A1279, Revision 1, dated September 25, 2008, as the appropriate
source of service information. Boeing has since revised the service
bulletin. Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57A1279, Revision 2, dated
February 2, 2010, incorporates additional data that were included in
Boeing Information Notice (IN) 737-57A1279 IN 02, dated September 25,
2008; 737-57A1279 IN 03, dated October 30, 2008; and 737-57A1279 IN 04,
dated March 13, 2009. This additional information does not add more
work.
Boeing has also issued IN 737-57A1279 IN 05, dated April 8, 2010.
This IN specifies that Model 737-800 and -900 airplanes may have an
additional clamp located at stringer 10 that requires the work shown in
the steps of Figures 6, 7, 10, and 11 of Boeing Service Bulletin 737-
57A1279, Revision 2, dated February 2, 2010, in the environmental
control system bay of the affected airplanes.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comments received on the
second supplemental NPRM.
Support for the Second Supplemental NPRM
Boeing reviewed the second supplemental NPRM and concurred with the
contents of the proposed rule.
Request To Delay AD Action
Continental Airlines (CAL) expressed continued concern that the
manufacturer needs to update the maintenance service documents to avoid
inadvertently demodifying the work that this AD requires, which would
result in potential enforcement action against CAL. CAL commented that
to ensure compliance with the maintenance planning data Fuel System
Airworthiness Limitations, the requirements of Appendix H.1(a) of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 25); and the requirements of
sections 26.1(a), 26.1(b)(2), and 26.1(b)(3) of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 26.1(a), 14 CFR 26.1(b)(2), and 14 CFR 26.1(b)(3));
must be complied with by the original equipment manufacturer or type
certificate holder. In addition, the operator must also comply with
section 91.1507(e) of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
91.1507(e)); and section 121.1113(e) of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 121.1113(e)). CAL stated that these procedures
conflict with the regulations of sections 25.1529 and 25.1729 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 25.1529 and 25.1729) and
applicable provisions of 14 CFR parts 21 and 26.
We acknowledge the commenter's concern. However, no new ICAs have
been developed for the design change required by this AD. Operators and
owners are responsible for ensuring that the configuration mandated by
this AD is maintained in accordance with section 39.7 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.7).
If any new airworthiness limitations (AWLs) related to any of the
design features mandated by this AD are developed, we may consider
additional rulemaking to mandate incorporations of those AWLs into
operators' maintenance programs. We have not changed the AD in regard
to this issue.
CAL cited sections 91.1507(e) of the Federal Aviation Regulations
(14 CFR 91.1507(e)) and other regulations and expresses concern that
the absence of the ICAs could result in enforcement action. That
section requires operators to include in their maintenance programs all
fuel system ICAs developed under Special Federal Aviation Regulation
(SFAR) 88. However, that regulation requires operators to incorporate
ICAs provided by the design approval holder. Since no ICAs were
developed for the required modification, operators do not violate that
regulation if their maintenance programs do not yet contain ICAs for
the referenced design change. However, under section 39.7 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.7), it is still the
responsibility of the operators to keep their airplanes in a
configuration that is in compliance with the AD. We have not changed
the AD in regard to this issue.
The FAA is working with industry to evaluate potential changes to
the AD process that are intended to more clearly identify how to
maintain configurations that are required for AD compliance.
[[Page 74618]]
Request To Clarify Airplanes Subject to Paragraph (i) of the AD
The Air Transport Association (ATA), on behalf of its member
American Airlines (AA), requested that we clarify the ``applicability
requirements'' in paragraph (i) of the second supplemental NPRM to
state that modifications should be acceptable for compliance with the
AD if they were made in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737-57A1279, dated January 24, 2007, and if the table in paragraph
1.A., ``Effectivity,'' of that service bulletin was used to correctly
determine which airplanes are subject to the requirements of paragraph
(i) of the AD. The commenter noted that the variable numbers following
the table are erroneous.
Lufthansa Technik (LTK) also requested that we revise paragraph (i)
of the second supplemental NPRM. LTK requested that we consider
airplanes with line numbers 571 through 1691 inclusive on which the
referenced actions have been performed in accordance with Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-57A1279, dated January 24, 2007, to be compliant
with the proposed AD.
We agree with the requests to clarify which airplanes are subject
to the requirements of paragraph (i) of this final rule. We have
revised paragraph (i) of this final rule to state that actions done
using the group assignments by line numbers found in the table in
paragraph 1.A., ``Effectivity,'' and in accordance with the original
service bulletin, Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57A1279, dated January
24, 2007, are acceptable for compliance with the corresponding
requirements of this AD.
Request To Allow Alternative Teflon Sleeving Procedure
The ATA, on behalf of its member AA, proposed an alternative
sleeving procedure. In its comment, AA stated that the Teflon sleeve
installation cannot be accomplished as shown in Figure 13 of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1279, dated January 24, 2007. AA stated
that Figure 9 of the service bulletin shows that the adjacent tube
conduit does not allow the sleeve to be 3 inches long and centered on
the clamp. AA proposed that an alternative sleeving procedure extend
the sleeving at least 1 inch beyond the edge of the clamp. If 1 inch of
sleeving cannot be achieved, AA suggested that the sleeving be extended
as far as possible.
We agree that clarification may be necessary. Boeing is revising
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1279 to address this issue.
However, due to the urgency of the unsafe condition and in
consideration of the amount of time that has already elapsed since
issuance of the original service bulletin, we have determined that
further delay of this final rule is not appropriate. We disagree with
the request to allow an alternative Teflon sleeving procedure in this
final rule. We do not have sufficient data that indicate this procedure
provides an acceptable level of safety. If operators can provide
sufficient data to indicate that an alternative Teflon sleeving
procedure would provide an acceptable level of safety, operators can
request approvals of AMOCs in accordance with the requirements of
paragraph (j) of this final rule. We have not changed the final rule
regarding this issue.
Request To Allow Alternative Procedure To Seal Fasteners on Wing and
Main Tanks
The ATA, on behalf of its member AA, requested that we remove the
proposed requirement to reseal the fasteners if already done previously
in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1279, dated
January 24, 2007. In its comment, AA stated that sealant has been
previously applied at some fastener locations in the center tank and
the wing tanks during airplane assembly. Therefore, AA stated, it is
not possible to accomplish the steps in Figures 14 and 15 of that
service bulletin, and AA proposed that if the fasteners are sealed in
accordance with that service bulletin, then no further work should be
required. AA also stated that Boeing 737-57A1279 Information Notice
(IN) 04, dated March 13, 2009, addresses this issue.
We agree with the commenter. Boeing 737-57A1279 IN 04, dated March
13, 2009, states that for fasteners that have been previously sealed to
the specifications of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1279, it is
not required for the existing seal to be removed and the fastener
sealed again. Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57A1279, Revision 2, dated
February 2, 2010, incorporates the information included in Boeing 737-
57A1279 IN 04, dated March 13, 2009. We updated this final rule to
refer to Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1279, Revision 2, dated
February 2, 2010, as an appropriate source of service information.
Request To Reference Additional Service Information
The ATA, on behalf of its member AirTran Airways, requested that we
approve Boeing Information Notices 03 and 04 as sources of service
information for the supplemental NPRM. In its comment, AirTran Airways
stated that the information notices clarify and provide corrections to
Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57A1279, Revision 1, dated September 25,
2008.
We partially agree. We acknowledge that the information contained
in these notices may be useful to operators to complete the
requirements of this AD. However, Boeing has issued Boeing Service
Bulletin 737-57A1279, Revision 2, dated February 2, 2010, to include
the information in the information notices. We have revised the final
rule accordingly.
Explanation of Change Made to This AD
We have revised this AD to identify the legal name of the
manufacturer as published in the most recent type certificate data
sheet for the affected airplane models.
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 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.
Explanation of Change to Costs of Compliance
Since issuance of the NPRM, we have increased the labor rate used
in the Costs of Compliance from $80 per work-hour to $85 per work-hour.
The Costs of Compliance information, below, reflects this increase in
the specified hourly labor rate.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 1,754 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet; of these, 645 airplanes are U.S.-registered. The
following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this final rule, at an average hourly labor rate of $85.

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.
