ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD requires
measuring the electrical bond resistance
between the motor operated valve
(MOV) actuators and airplane structure
for the main, center, auxiliary, and
horizontal stabilizer fuel tanks, as
applicable, and corrective action if
necessary; revising the maintenance
program to incorporate airworthiness
limitation (AWL) No. 28–AWL–21 or
AWL No. 28–AWL–27, as applicable;
and replacing production-installed
laminate phenolic spacers with metallic
spacers between the fuel jettison MOV
and the airplane structure, as
applicable. This AD was prompted by
fuel system reviews conducted by the
manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to
prevent electrical current from flowing
through an MOV actuator into a fuel
tank, which could create a potential
ignition source inside the fuel tank. This
condition, in combination with
SUMMARY:

flammable fuel vapors, could result in a
fuel tank explosion and consequent loss
of the airplane.
DATES: This AD is effective April 26,
2011.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in the AD
as of April 26, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an
airworthiness directive (AD) that would
apply to the specified products. That
SNPRM published in the Federal
Register on November 19, 2010 (75 FR
70863). That SNPRM proposed to
require measuring the electrical bond
resistance between the motor operated
valve (MOV) actuators and airplane
structure for the main, center, auxiliary,
and horizontal stabilizer fuel tanks, as
applicable, and corrective action if

necessary; revising the maintenance
program to incorporate airworthiness
limitation (AWL) No. 28–AWL–21 or
AWL No. 28–AWL–27, as applicable;
and replacing production-installed
laminate phenolic spacers with metallic

and the airplane structure, as
applicable.
Actions Since Supplemental NPRM
Was Issued
Since the supplemental NPRM was
issued, Boeing issued Service Bulletin
747–28A2292, Revision 3, dated
December 9, 2010. The changes
described in this service bulletin are
minor and editorial in nature.
Paragraphs (c) and (g) of this AD have
been revised to refer to Revision 3 of
this service bulletin. In addition, credit
for accomplishing the actions in Boeing
Service Bulletin 747–28A2292, Revision
2, dated May 13, 2010, has been
included in paragraph (o) of this AD.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
have considered the comment received.
Boeing supports the NPRM.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed—except for the changes
that were described above. We have
determined that these changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 222
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.
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.

certificated in any category; as identified in
Boeing Service Bulletin 747–28A2292,
Revision 3, dated December 9, 2010.
Note 1: This AD requires revisions to
certain operator maintenance documents to
include new inspections. Compliance with
these inspections is required by 14 CFR
91.403(c). For airplanes that have been
previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by these inspections, the
operator may not be able to accomplish the
inspections 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 (AMOC)
according to paragraph (q) of this AD. The
request should include a description of
changes to the required inspections that will
ensure the continued operational safety of
the airplane.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of

create a potential ignition source inside the
fuel tank. This condition, in combination
with flammable fuel vapors, could result in
a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of
the airplane.
Compliance
(f) You are responsible for having the
actions required by this AD performed within
the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.
Measurement, Corrective Action, and
Replacement

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are superseding an
existing airworthiness directive (AD) for
the products listed above. This AD
results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct
an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:
SUMMARY:
Emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
In early 2005, several reports had been
received regarding discovery of cracks in
rudder pulley brackets installed on Reims
F406 aeroplanes. This pulley bracket, Part
Number (P/N) 6015511–1, is installed on
aeroplanes with the optional ‘‘Camera Hole’’
modification.
This condition, if not detected and
corrected, could result in the loss of rudder
control on the airplane.
We are issuing this AD to require
actions to correct the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective April
26, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to the specified products. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on January 21, 2011 (76 FR
3854), and proposed to supersede AD
2007–02–12, Amendment 39–14899 (72
FR 3047, January 24, 2007). That NPRM
proposed to correct an unsafe condition
for the specified products. The MCAI
states that:
In early 2005, several reports had been
received regarding discovery of cracks in
rudder pulley brackets installed on Reims
F406 aeroplanes. This pulley bracket, Part
Number (P/N) 6015511–1, is installed on
aeroplanes with the optional ‘‘Camera Hole’’
modification.
This condition, if not detected and
corrected, could result in the loss of rudder
control on the airplane.
To address this unsafe condition, DGAC
France issued Emergency (Urgent) AD UF–
2005–080, followed by the final AD F–2005–
080, requiring repetitive inspections of the
P/N 6015511–1 rudder pulley bracket and
replacement of the bracket with a modified
bracket, P/N 4061–2701–1, as terminating
action.

Recently, Reims discovered that aeroplane
s/n F406–0091 had inadvertently not been
included in the SB and this has been revised
to correct the omission.
For the reasons described above, this AD
retains the requirements of DGAC France AD
F–2005–080, which is superseded, and adds
aeroplane s/n F406–0091 to the Applicability
of the AD, by referencing Revision 2 of the
Reims Aviation Industries SB F406–58.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the
public.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.
Differences Between This AD and the
MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and
related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But
we might have found it necessary to use
different words from those in the MCAI
to ensure the AD is clear for U.S.
operators and is enforceable. In making
these changes, we do not intend to differ
substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related
service information.
We might also have required different
actions in this AD from those in the
MCAI in order to follow FAA policies.
Any such differences are highlighted in
a NOTE within the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 7
products of U.S. registry. We also
estimate that it will take about 11 workhours per product to comply with the
basic requirements of this AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Required parts will cost about $750 per
product.
Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators
to be $11,795 or $1,685 per product.
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

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 747 Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD requires measuring the electrical bond
resistance between the motor operated valve (MOV) actuators and
airplane structure for the main, center, auxiliary, and horizontal
stabilizer fuel tanks, as applicable, and corrective action if
necessary; revising the maintenance program to incorporate
airworthiness limitation (AWL) No. 28-AWL-21 or AWL No. 28-AWL-27, as
applicable; and replacing production-installed laminate phenolic
spacers with metallic spacers between the fuel jettison MOV and the
airplane structure, as applicable. This AD was prompted by fuel system
reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to
prevent electrical current from flowing through an MOV actuator into a
fuel tank, which could create a potential ignition source inside the
fuel tank. This condition, in combination with flammable fuel vapors,
could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the
airplane.
DATES: This AD is effective April 26, 2011.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of April 26,
2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that
would apply to the specified products. That SNPRM published in the
Federal Register on November 19, 2010 (75 FR 70863). That SNPRM
proposed to require measuring the electrical bond resistance between
the motor operated valve (MOV) actuators and airplane structure for the
main, center, auxiliary, and horizontal stabilizer fuel tanks, as
applicable, and corrective action if
[[Page 15815]]
necessary; revising the maintenance program to incorporate
airworthiness limitation (AWL) No. 28-AWL-21 or AWL No. 28-AWL-27, as
applicable; and replacing production-installed laminate phenolic
spacers with metallic spacers between the fuel jettison MOV and the
airplane structure, as applicable.
Actions Since Supplemental NPRM Was Issued
Since the supplemental NPRM was issued, Boeing issued Service
Bulletin 747-28A2292, Revision 3, dated December 9, 2010. The changes
described in this service bulletin are minor and editorial in nature.
Paragraphs (c) and (g) of this AD have been revised to refer to
Revision 3 of this service bulletin. In addition, credit for
accomplishing the actions in Boeing Service Bulletin 747-28A2292,
Revision 2, dated May 13, 2010, has been included in paragraph (o) of
this AD.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We have considered the comment received. Boeing supports the
NPRM.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD as proposed--except for the changes that were described above. We
have determined that these changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 222 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Measurement......................... Up to 7 work-hours x $85 Up to $350................. Up to $945................. Up to $209,790.
per hour = Up to $595.
Replacement (Up to 60 airplanes).... Up to 4 work-hours x $85 $1,305..................... Up to $1,645............... Up to $98,700.

Maintenance program revision........ 1 work-hour x $85 per hour $0......................... $85........................ $18,870.
= $85.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any necessary modification
that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection.
We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need
this modification.
On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change electrical bond and rework 436 work-hours x $85 Up to $35,760............. Up to $72,820.
part contact surface. per hour = $37,060.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
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.
