ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 747–100B,
747–100B SUD, 747–200B, 747–200C,

400D, 747–400F, 747SR, and 747SP
series airplanes. This AD was prompted
by reports of skin cracks and subsequent
findings of hidden corrosion found on
the mating surfaces between certain skin
and stringers at circumferential skin
splices. This AD requires general visual
inspections of the fuselage skin at
certain lower circumferential splices for
the presence of existing external
doublers, repetitive inspections of the
fuselage skin, and related investigative
and corrective actions if necessary. We
are issuing this AD to detect and correct
hidden corrosion due to compromised
fillet seals, which can result in skin
cracking and consequent loss of
capability to support limit loads.
DATES: This AD is effective September 1,
2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to certain The Boeing Company
Model 747–100B, 747–100B SUD, 747–
200B, 747–200C, 747–200F, 747–300,
747–400, 747–400D, 747–400F, 747SR,
and 747SP series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
November 28, 2014 (79 FR 70799). The
NPRM was prompted by reports of skin
cracks and subsequent findings of
hidden corrosion found on the mating
surfaces between certain skin and
stringers at circumferential skin splices.
The NPRM proposed to require general
visual inspections of the fuselage skin at
certain lower circumferential splices for
the presence of existing external
doublers, repetitive inspections of the
fuselage skin, and related investigative
and corrective actions if necessary. We
are issuing this AD to detect and correct
hidden corrosion due to compromised
fillet seals, which can result in skin
cracking and consequent loss of
capability to support limit loads.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. The
following presents the comments
received on the NPRM (79 FR 70799,
November 28, 2014) and the FAA’s
response to each comment.
Concurrence With NPRM (79 FR 70799,
November 28, 2014)
United Airlines stated that it concurs
with the proposed requirements
specified in the NPRM (79 FR 70799,
November 28, 2014).

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 144 / Tuesday, July 28, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
Request To Clarify What Prompted the
AD Action and Clarify the Unsafe
Condition
Boeing requested that we clarify the
unsafe condition and revise various
locations of the NPRM (79 FR 70799,
November 28, 2014) to indicate that
corrosion was discovered only after a
skin crack was reported. Boeing
explained the hidden corrosion between
the skin and stringer was not visibly
detectable and was discovered only after
a skin crack was reported.
We agree to revise the sentences that
specify the unsafe condition and that
specify what prompted the AD action.
We have revised the SUMMARY of this
final rule, as well as the Discussion and
paragraph (e) of this AD, by adding the
phrase ‘‘hidden corrosion due to’’ to the
sentences that specify the unsafe
condition, and by adding the phrase
‘‘skin cracks and subsequent findings of
hidden’’ to the sentences that discuss
what prompted the AD action.
Request To Clarify Requirements Based
on Presence of Doubler Repair
Boeing requested that we revise
paragraph (g) of the NPRM (79 FR
70799, November 28, 2014) to clarify the
proposed requirements for surface low
frequency eddy current (LFEC)
inspections for areas with and without
repair doublers.
We agree to revise paragraph (g) of
this AD to clarify configurations of areas
with and without repair doublers. We
have revised paragraph (g)(1) and added
new paragraph (g)(2) to this AD to
specify configurations having ‘‘an
external repair doubler’’ and where ‘‘no
existing repair doubler’’ exists.

Request To Add Required High
Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC)
Inspections
Boeing requested that we revise
paragraphs (g)(2) and (h)(2)(i) of the
NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28,
2014) by adding HFEC inspections as a
required action.
We disagree with specifying HFEC
inspections as requested in this AD
because this AD already requires
compliance with all applicable ‘‘related
investigative actions,’’ which include
applicable HFEC inspections. The
terminology for the proposed AD
requirements was addressed by the
NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28,
2014). Our standard practice is to
specify actions that are related to the
primary action and actions that further
investigate the nature of any condition
found as ‘‘related investigative actions.’’
No change has been made to this AD in
this regard.

Request To Reference Correct Service
Information
UPS requested that the correct eddy
current inspection procedure be
referenced in the NPRM (79 FR 70799,
November 28, 2014). UPS stated that
Boeing Information Notice 747–
53A2861 IN 01, dated April 24, 2014,
was issued to inform operators that
Paragraph 3.B, Part 2, Step 1, of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2861,
dated April 1, 2014, should refer to ‘‘747
Nondestructive test (NDT) Manual Part
6, 53–30–00, Procedure 5,’’ instead of
‘‘747 NDT Manual Part 6, 51–00–00,
Procedure 8,’’ as the correct inspection
procedure of the fuselage skin. UPS
stated that adding this information
would prevent the need for requests for
alternative methods of compliance
(AMOCs) related to this error.
We find that clarification is needed.
To clarify this information, we have
added a new exception to include the
correct source of service information for
this inspection. New paragraph (i)(3) of
this AD refers to ‘‘747 NDT Manual Part
6, 53–30–00, Procedure 5,’’ as the
appropriate source of service
information for the eddy current
inspection of the fuselage skin. We have
also added a reference to paragraph
(i)(3) of this AD in paragraphs (g) and
(h) of this AD.
Request To Exclude Location From
Required Inspections
UPS requested that the NPRM (79 FR
70799, November 28, 2014) be revised to
exclude a certain location from the
inspection requirements, or that the
proposed AD provide an inspection
procedure that is adequate for that
location. UPS stated that Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 747–53A2861, dated
April 1, 2014, specifies that external
surface LFEC inspections for corrosion
of the fuselage skin be done using ‘‘747
NDT Manual Part 6, 51–00–00,
Procedure 5 or Procedure 12,’’ which
are appropriate for skins with a
specified thickness. UPS stated Table 2
of Appendix C of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747–53A2861, dated April 1,
2014, contains an error. Skin panels
having part number 65B23792–XX are
chem milled with a thickness that
exceeds the specification listed in Table
2 of Appendix C of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747–53A2861, dated April 1,
2014. Therefore, the NDT procedures
are not valid for those skin panels at this
location. UPS stated that since action is
identified as ‘‘Required for
Compliance,’’ by Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747–53A2861, dated April 1,
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4700

2014, no deviations are allowed without
AMOC approval.
We disagree with the request.
Agreeing with the request would delay
the issuance of the AD and we find that
delaying this action would be
inappropriate in light of the identified
unsafe condition. Boeing is aware of the
discrepancy with the NDI instructions,
and is actively working on a global
AMOC for operators to correct the error
by means of a validated procedure.
Operators have the option of proposing
their own procedure in accordance with
paragraph (j) of this AD.
Since chem milling affects the ability
to accomplish Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747–53A2861, dated April 1,
2014, and the corrective action is not
clear in the service information, we
have added an exception to new
paragraph (i)(4) of this AD to specify
where Paragraph 3.B, Part 3, Step 1, of
the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747–
53A2861, dated April 1, 2014, specifies
doing external surface LFEC inspections
in accordance with ‘‘747 NDT Manual
Part 6, 51–00–00, Procedure 5 or
Procedure 12,’’ and the skin panels are
chem milled with a thickness that
exceeds the specification listed in Table
2 of Appendix C of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747–53A2861, dated April 1,
2014, this AD requires using an AMOC
per paragraph (j) of this AD. We have
added a reference to paragraph (i)(4) of
this AD in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this
AD. Operators may request approval of
an AMOC under the provisions of
paragraph (j) of this AD, for procedures
that would help them meet the NDT test
requirements.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this AD
with the changes described previously
and minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR
70799, November 28, 2014) for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 70799,
November 28, 2014).
We also determined that these
changes will not increase the economic
burden on any operator or increase the
scope of 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.

program without obtaining approval of an
AMOC, provided the RC steps, including
substeps and identified figures, can still be
done as specified, and the airplane can be
put back in an airworthy condition.
(4) An AMOC that provides an acceptable
level of safety may be used for any repair
required by this AD if it is approved by the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has
been authorized by the Manager, Seattle
ACO, to make those findings. For a repair
method to be approved, the repair must meet
the certification basis of the airplane, and the
approval must specifically refer to this AD.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are superseding
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013–14–
05 for certain The Boeing Company
Model 747–400 and 747–400F series
airplanes. AD 2013–14–05 required
repetitive inspections of the longeron
extension fittings for cracking, and
related investigative and corrective
actions if necessary. This new AD
would continue to require the actions
specified in AD 2013–14–05, and would
add new repetitive high frequency eddy
current (HFEC) inspections of any
modified, repaired, or replaced longeron
extension fitting for cracking, and
applicable related investigative and
corrective actions if necessary. This AD
was prompted by reports of cracking in
the outboard flange of the longeron
extension fittings, and our
determination that more work is
necessary on airplanes on which a
permanent repair, longeron extension
fitting replacement, or modification was
accomplished. We are issuing this AD to
detect and correct cracks in the longeron
extension fittings, which can become
large and adversely affect the structural
integrity of the airplane.
DATES: This AD is effective September 1,
2015.

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C,
747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of skin cracks and
subsequent findings of hidden corrosion found on the mating surfaces
between certain skin and stringers at circumferential skin splices.
This AD requires general visual inspections of the fuselage skin at
certain lower circumferential splices for the presence of existing
external doublers, repetitive inspections of the fuselage skin, and
related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct hidden corrosion due to
compromised fillet seals, which can result in skin cracking and
consequent loss of capability to support limit loads.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing Company
Model 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300,
747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2014 (79 FR
70799). The NPRM was prompted by reports of skin cracks and subsequent
findings of hidden corrosion found on the mating surfaces between
certain skin and stringers at circumferential skin splices. The NPRM
proposed to require general visual inspections of the fuselage skin at
certain lower circumferential splices for the presence of existing
external doublers, repetitive inspections of the fuselage skin, and
related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct hidden corrosion due to
compromised fillet seals, which can result in skin cracking and
consequent loss of capability to support limit loads.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM (79
FR 70799, November 28, 2014) and the FAA's response to each comment.
Concurrence With NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014)
United Airlines stated that it concurs with the proposed
requirements specified in the NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014).
[[Page 44833]]
Request To Clarify What Prompted the AD Action and Clarify the Unsafe
Condition
Boeing requested that we clarify the unsafe condition and revise
various locations of the NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014) to
indicate that corrosion was discovered only after a skin crack was
reported. Boeing explained the hidden corrosion between the skin and
stringer was not visibly detectable and was discovered only after a
skin crack was reported.
We agree to revise the sentences that specify the unsafe condition
and that specify what prompted the AD action. We have revised the
SUMMARY of this final rule, as well as the Discussion and paragraph (e)
of this AD, by adding the phrase ``hidden corrosion due to'' to the
sentences that specify the unsafe condition, and by adding the phrase
``skin cracks and subsequent findings of hidden'' to the sentences that
discuss what prompted the AD action.
Request To Clarify Requirements Based on Presence of Doubler Repair
Boeing requested that we revise paragraph (g) of the NPRM (79 FR
70799, November 28, 2014) to clarify the proposed requirements for
surface low frequency eddy current (LFEC) inspections for areas with
and without repair doublers.
We agree to revise paragraph (g) of this AD to clarify
configurations of areas with and without repair doublers. We have
revised paragraph (g)(1) and added new paragraph (g)(2) to this AD to
specify configurations having ``an external repair doubler'' and where
``no existing repair doubler'' exists.
Request To Add Required High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) Inspections
Boeing requested that we revise paragraphs (g)(2) and (h)(2)(i) of
the NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014) by adding HFEC inspections as
a required action.
We disagree with specifying HFEC inspections as requested in this
AD because this AD already requires compliance with all applicable
``related investigative actions,'' which include applicable HFEC
inspections. The terminology for the proposed AD requirements was
addressed by the NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014). Our standard
practice is to specify actions that are related to the primary action
and actions that further investigate the nature of any condition found
as ``related investigative actions.'' No change has been made to this
AD in this regard.
Request To Reference Correct Service Information
UPS requested that the correct eddy current inspection procedure be
referenced in the NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014). UPS stated
that Boeing Information Notice 747-53A2861 IN 01, dated April 24, 2014,
was issued to inform operators that Paragraph 3.B, Part 2, Step 1, of
the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-
53A2861, dated April 1, 2014, should refer to ``747 Nondestructive test
(NDT) Manual Part 6, 53-30-00, Procedure 5,'' instead of ``747 NDT
Manual Part 6, 51-00-00, Procedure 8,'' as the correct inspection
procedure of the fuselage skin. UPS stated that adding this information
would prevent the need for requests for alternative methods of
compliance (AMOCs) related to this error.
We find that clarification is needed. To clarify this information,
we have added a new exception to include the correct source of service
information for this inspection. New paragraph (i)(3) of this AD refers
to ``747 NDT Manual Part 6, 53-30-00, Procedure 5,'' as the appropriate
source of service information for the eddy current inspection of the
fuselage skin. We have also added a reference to paragraph (i)(3) of
this AD in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD.
Request To Exclude Location From Required Inspections
UPS requested that the NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014) be
revised to exclude a certain location from the inspection requirements,
or that the proposed AD provide an inspection procedure that is
adequate for that location. UPS stated that Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated April 1, 2014, specifies that external
surface LFEC inspections for corrosion of the fuselage skin be done
using ``747 NDT Manual Part 6, 51-00-00, Procedure 5 or Procedure 12,''
which are appropriate for skins with a specified thickness. UPS stated
Table 2 of Appendix C of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2861,
dated April 1, 2014, contains an error. Skin panels having part number
65B23792-XX are chem milled with a thickness that exceeds the
specification listed in Table 2 of Appendix C of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated April 1, 2014. Therefore, the NDT
procedures are not valid for those skin panels at this location. UPS
stated that since action is identified as ``Required for Compliance,''
by Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated April 1, 2014, no
deviations are allowed without AMOC approval.
We disagree with the request. Agreeing with the request would delay
the issuance of the AD and we find that delaying this action would be
inappropriate in light of the identified unsafe condition. Boeing is
aware of the discrepancy with the NDI instructions, and is actively
working on a global AMOC for operators to correct the error by means of
a validated procedure. Operators have the option of proposing their own
procedure in accordance with paragraph (j) of this AD.
Since chem milling affects the ability to accomplish Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated April 1, 2014, and the corrective
action is not clear in the service information, we have added an
exception to new paragraph (i)(4) of this AD to specify where Paragraph
3.B, Part 3, Step 1, of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated April 1, 2014, specifies doing
external surface LFEC inspections in accordance with ``747 NDT Manual
Part 6, 51-00-00, Procedure 5 or Procedure 12,'' and the skin panels
are chem milled with a thickness that exceeds the specification listed
in Table 2 of Appendix C of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2861,
dated April 1, 2014, this AD requires using an AMOC per paragraph (j)
of this AD. We have added a reference to paragraph (i)(4) of this AD in
paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD. Operators may request approval of an
AMOC under the provisions of paragraph (j) of this AD, for procedures
that would help them meet the NDT test requirements.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 70799, November 28, 2014).
We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated April
1,
[[Page 44834]]
2014. The service information describes procedures for inspections of
the fuselage skin at certain lower circumferential splices for the
presence of existing external doublers, inspections of the fuselage
skin for cracking and corrosion, and corrective actions. This service
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section of this final rule.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 165 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection...................... Up to 121 work- $0 Up to $10,285...... Up to $1,697,025.
hours x $85 per
hour = $10,285.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in 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
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.

(i) Exceptions to Service Information Specifications
(1) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated April
1, 2014, specifies a compliance time ``after the original issue date
of this service bulletin,'' this AD requires compliance within the
specified compliance time after the effective date of this AD.
(2) Although Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated
April 1, 2014, specifies to contact Boeing for repair data, and
specifies that action as ``RC'' (Required for Compliance), this AD
requires repair before further flight using a method approved in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this
AD.
(3) Where Paragraph 3.B, Part 2, Step 1, of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated
April 1, 2014, incorrectly identifies ``747 NDT Manual Part 6, 51-
00-00, Procedure 8,'' associated with the LFEC inspection for skin
cracks of the external lower lobe repair doubler, the correct
reference is ``747 NDT Manual Part 6, 53-30-00, Procedure 5.''
(4) Where Paragraph 3.B, Part 3, Step 1, of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated
April 1, 2014, specifies doing external surface LFEC inspections in
accordance with ``747 NDT Manual Part 6, 51-00-00, Procedure 5 or
Procedure 12,'' and the skin panels are chem milled with a thickness
that exceeds the specification listed in Table 2 of Appendix C of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2861, dated April 1, 2014, this
AD requires using a method approved in accordance with the
procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this AD.
(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)
(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested
using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14
CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local
Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (k) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to: 9-ANM-Seattle-ACO-AMOC-Requests@faa.gov.
(2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local Flight Standards District Office/certificate holding
district office.
(3) Except as required by paragraph (i) of this AD: Some steps
in the Work Instructions are labeled as Required for Compliance
(RC). If this service bulletin is mandated by an AD, then the steps
labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step and any figures
identified in an RC step, must be done to comply with the AD. An
AMOC is required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps
and identified figures. Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from
using accepted methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance
or inspection program without obtaining approval of an AMOC,
provided the RC steps, including substeps and identified figures,
can still be done as specified, and the airplane can be put back in
an airworthy condition.
(4) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair required by this AD if it is approved by the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization
(ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to make
those findings. For a repair method to be approved, the repair must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
