SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The FAA 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 757 airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
E:\FR\FM\10JAR1.SGM
10JAR1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 6 / Friday, January 10, 2025 / Rules and Regulations
March 25, 2024 (89 FR 20565). The
NPRM was prompted by reports of
several occurrences of a PTU control
valve that failed to open when
commanded. In the NPRM, the FAA
proposed to require installing new
relays and changing certain wire
bundles leading to the PTU control
valve. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address failure of the PTU control valve,
which in conjunction with a loss of the
left engine or engine-driven pump (EDP)
during takeoff, may result in a failure of
the landing gear to retract in a timely
manner. This condition, if not
addressed, could add drag, affect climb
gradient, and prevent the airplane from
clearing obstacles on takeoff. This
condition can result in loss of continued
safe flight and landing.
Discussion of Final Airworthiness
Directive
Comments
The FAA received a comment from
the Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA), who supported
the NPRM without change.
The FAA received additional
comments from Aviation Partners
Boeing (APB), Boeing, Delta Air Lines
(Delta), and United Parcel Service
Airlines (UPS Airlines). United Airlines
(United) supported the NPRM and also
provided additional comments, as
discussed below. The following presents
the comments received on the NPRM
and the FAA’s response to each
comment.
khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with RULES
Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment
of the Proposed Actions
APB stated that the installation of
winglets per Supplemental Type
Certificate STC ST01518SE does not
affect the accomplishment of the
manufacturer’s service instructions.
The FAA agrees with the commenter
that STC ST01518SE does not affect the
accomplishment of the manufacturer’s
service instructions. Therefore, the
installation of STC ST01518SE does not
affect the ability to accomplish the
actions required by this AD. The FAA
has not changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Revise Unsafe Condition
Statement
Boeing requested two changes in the
description of the unsafe condition. One
change is in the description of the state
of the landing gear retraction abilities
from ‘‘may result in a failure of the
landing gear to retract’’ to ‘‘may result
in a failure of the landing gear to retract
in a timely manner.’’ Boeing explained
that the left hydraulic system’s electric
motor pump would still function, but
has a smaller output capacity that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:01 Jan 08, 2025
Jkt 265001
results in being unable to retract the
landing gear in the time required to
clear obstacles. The other requested
change is to clarify what conditions lead
up to the slowed retraction of the
landing gear. Boeing explained that loss
of either the left engine or the EDP
would lead to use of the electric motor
pump and requested that the related
phrase ‘‘left engine and engine driven
pump (EDP)’’ be changed to ‘‘left engine
and/or engine driven pump (EDP).’’
The FAA agrees to revise the unsafe
condition statement. The revisions
provide a more accurate description of
the unsafe condition and of what
conditions lead up to a slow retraction
of the landing gear. However, the FAA
has revised ‘‘left engine and engine
driven pump (EDP)’’ to ‘‘left engine or
engine-driven pump (EDP)’’ instead of
using ‘‘and/or.’’ Although both failure
conditions can occur, only one of the
conditions is necessary to affect the
landing gear retraction. The FAA has
revised the Background section of this
final rule and paragraph (e) of this AD
accordingly.
Requests To Revise AD To Address
Missing Information in Service
Information
Boeing stated that additional
engineering definition for wire routing
is necessary for a group of airplanes
identified in Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 757–29A0071, dated November
16, 2023, and Boeing Alert
Requirements Bulletin 75–29A0071 RB,
dated November 16, 2023, and that the
service bulletin and requirements
bulletin will be revised. Delta and
United requested that paragraph (h) of
the proposed AD be revised to add an
exception to address the errors in the
wire routing definition for the airplanes
identified as Group 3 airplanes in
Boeing Alert Requirement Bulletin 757–
29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023
(Group 3 airplanes). United also
proposed that paragraph (g) of the
proposed AD be revised to incorporate
Revision 1 of Boeing Alert Requirement
Bulletin 757–29A0071 RB, if it is
created prior to the release of this AD.
Both Delta and United noted that Boeing
published Information Notice 757–
29A0071 IN 01 to inform operators of
issues with work instructions for the
Group 3 airplanes and advised to stop
work on those airplanes until new
service information is published. United
also reasoned that the requested
revision would help United and other
operators of Group 3 airplanes avoid
applying for an AMOC when the final
rule is issued.
The FAA agrees with the need to
provide additional definition for wire
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
1851
routing that affects Group 3 airplanes
because those airplanes would be
unable to comply with the instructions
provided in Boeing Alert Requirement
Bulletin 757–29A0071 RB, dated
November 16, 2023. However, the FAA
does not agree to revise the AD to
reference Revision 1 of Boeing Alert
Requirement Bulletin 757–29A0071 RB,
or to add an exception to address the
errors in the instructions for Group 3
airplanes. A later revision of Boeing
Alert Requirement Bulletin 757–
29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023,
has not been issued and the publication
date is yet to be determined. To delay
this action until the revised service
information is published would be
inappropriate since the FAA has
determined that an unsafe condition
exists and that the actions must be
conducted on the other affected groups
of airplanes to ensure continued safety.
Operators may apply for approval to use
later revisions as an alternative method
of compliance with this AD under the
provisions of paragraph (i) of this AD.
The FAA has not changed this AD in
this regard.
Request To Add an Exception To Allow
Alternative Positions for Connectors
Delta requested that paragraph (h) of
the proposed AD be revised to add an
exception that would allow the use of
available connector positions on panels
and disconnects other than the ones
defined in Boeing Alert Requirement
Bulletin 757–29A0071 RB, dated
November 16, 2023. Delta explained
that the figures in Boeing Alert
Requirement Bulletin 757–29A0071 RB,
dated November 16, 2023, are specific
in defining positions within the panels
and disconnects where the connectors
will be installed. Delta also stated that
the specific location of the connector
installation and disconnects in the
panel are not necessary for the function
of the system. Delta reasoned that
allowing operators to install the
connectors in alternative available
positions would be acceptable for
compliance with the proposed AD while
also giving operators flexibility in
addressing variations in each airplane’s
existing wiring.
The FAA agrees that using only the
defined positions within the panels and
disconnect brackets for the new
connectors to be installed is not
necessary to address the unsafe
condition, and that allowing alternatives
would provide flexibility in complying
with the requirements of this AD on
airplanes that might have different
wiring configurations. The action to
perform the operational test verifies the
functionality of the system and will
E:\FR\FM\10JAR1.SGM
10JAR1
1852
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 6 / Friday, January 10, 2025 / Rules and Regulations
continue to be required. The FAA has
added an exception to paragraph (h) of
this AD to allow for installing
connectors in alternative available
positions on panels and disconnect
brackets than those defined in Boeing
Alert Requirement Bulletin 757–
29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023.
Request To Allow Use of Other Kit
Materials
Delta requested a revision to
paragraph (h) of the proposed AD to add
an exception that would allow the use
of operator-supplied materials that are
the same as the Boeing-supplied
materials in the parts kit specified in
Boeing Alert Requirement Bulletin 757–
29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023.
Delta explained that Boeing kits expire
within 3 months because of a limitation
on the placard (decal) adhesive and
opined that operators should have the
ability to supply the same decal if the
Boeing-supplied decal expires before
use. In addition, Delta also reasoned
that operators should be able to supply
their own materials if Boeing-supplied
kits are not available in time to avoid
delays in compliance with the proposed
AD.
The FAA does not agree to revise this
AD regarding this request. The Boeingsupplied kits are specified in Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 757–29A0071,
dated November 16, 2023, which is not
required by this AD. This AD requires
Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin
757–29A0071 RB, dated November 16,
2023, which identifies parts that are
required for compliance. This AD does
not require procuring the Boeingsupplied kits that are specified in
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 757–
29A0071, dated November 16, 2023. No
revision to this AD is necessary in this
regard.
Request To Extend Compliance Time
Due to Parts Availability
UPS Airlines requested a revision to
paragraph (h) of the proposed AD to add
an exception to a compliance time
identified in Boeing Alert Requirement
Bulletin 757–29A0071 RB, dated
November 16, 2023. This requested
exception would extend the calendar
time limit from the proposed 30 months
after the effective date of the AD to 36
months after the effective date of the
AD. UPS Airlines explained that the
availability of the Boeing-supplied parts
kit could affect the ability to comply
with the proposed compliance times.
UPS Airlines stated that there are only
15 of the Boeing-supplied kits in stock
as of the date of the NPRM, with an
anticipated lead time of 175 to 352 days
if all 15 kits are purchased and the
inventory depleted. UPS Airlines added
that they have 429 airplanes in a
configuration group that would require
the same part kit.
The FAA does not agree to revise the
AD regarding this issue. As explained in
the previous comment, the Boeingsupplied kits are not part of the
requirements of Boeing Alert
Requirement Bulletin 757–29A0071 RB,
dated November 16, 2023, and are
specified in Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 757–29A0071, dated November
16, 2023, thus operators may procure
the parts from their supplies without an
AMOC or revision to this AD. In
developing an appropriate compliance
time for this action, the FAA considered
the recommendations of the
manufacturer, the urgency associated
with the subject unsafe condition, the
availability of required parts, and the
practical aspect of accomplishing the
required modification within a period of
time that corresponds to the normal
scheduled maintenance for most
affected operators. In consideration of
these items, the FAA has determined
that the compliance time of 30 months
or 2,760 flight hours after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs first,
will ensure an acceptable level of safety.
However, under the provisions of
paragraph (i) of this AD, the FAA will
consider requests for approval of an
extension of the compliance time if
sufficient data are submitted to
substantiate that new compliance times
would provide an acceptable level of
safety.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data,
considered any comments received, and
determined that air safety requires
adopting this AD as proposed.
Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these
products. Except for minor editorial
changes, and any other changes
described previously, this AD is
adopted as proposed in the NPRM.
None of the changes will increase the
economic burden on any operator.

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 6 / Friday, January 10, 2025 / Rules and Regulations
The FAA is 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, 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.
(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs)
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to The Boeing Company
Model 757–200, –200PF, –200CB, and –300
series airplanes, certificated in any category,
and identified in Boeing Alert Requirements
Bulletin 757–29A0071 RB, dated November
16, 2023.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of
America Code 29, Hydraulic power.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by reports of
several occurrences of a power transfer unit
(PTU) control valve that failed to open when
commanded. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address failure of the PTU control valve,
which, in conjunction with a loss of the left
engine or engine-driven pump (EDP) during
takeoff, may result in a failure of the landing
gear to retract in a timely manner. This
condition, if not addressed, could add
additional drag, affect climb gradient, and
prevent the ability to clear obstacles on
takeoff. This condition can result in loss of
continued safe flight and landing.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
(g) Required Actions
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as
follows:
Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this
AD: At the applicable times specified in the
‘‘Compliance’’ paragraph of Boeing Alert
Requirements Bulletin 757–29A0071 RB,

701 (Inflation Adjustment Act or Act),
which further amended the Federal
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
of 1990 as previously amended by the
1996 Debt Collection Improvement Act
(collectively, the ‘‘Prior Inflation
Adjustment Act’’), to improve the
effectiveness of civil monetary penalties
and to maintain their deterrent effect.
Under the Inflation Adjustment Act,
agencies (1) had to adjust the level of
civil monetary penalties with an initial
‘‘catch-up’’ adjustment through an
interim final rule (IFR); and (2) must
make subsequent annual adjustments
for inflation no later than January 15 of
each year.
On July 1, 2016, the Department
published an IFR that established the
initial catch-up adjustment for most
civil penalties that the Department
administers and requested comments.
See 81 FR 43430 (DOL IFR). On January
18, 2017, the Department published the
final rule establishing the 2017 Annual
Adjustment for those civil monetary
penalties adjusted in the DOL IFR. See
82 FR 5373 (DOL 2017 Annual
Adjustment). On July 1, 2016, the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) and the U.S. Department of Labor
(DOL) (collectively, ‘‘the Departments’’)
jointly published an IFR that established
the initial catch-up adjustment for civil
monetary penalties assessed or enforced
in connection with the employment of
temporary nonimmigrant workers under
the H–2B program. See 81 FR 42983
(Joint IFR). On March 17, 2017, the
Departments jointly published the final
rule establishing the 2017 Annual
Adjustment for the H–2B civil monetary
penalties. See 82 FR 14147 (Joint 2017
Annual Adjustment). The Joint 2017
Annual Adjustment also explained that
DOL would make future adjustments to
the H–2B civil monetary penalties
consistent with DOL’s delegated
authority under 8 U.S.C. 1184(c)(14),
Immigration and Nationality Act section
214(c)(14), and the Inflation Adjustment
Act. See 82 FR 14147–48. Since 2018,
the Department’s annual Inflation
Adjustment Act final rule has included
H–2B civil monetary penalties. See 83
FR 7 (DOL 2018 Annual Adjustment);

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes. This AD was prompted by
reports of several occurrences of a power transfer unit (PTU) control
valve that failed to open when commanded. This AD requires installing
new relays and changing certain wire bundles leading to the PTU control
valve. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.
DATES: This AD is effective February 14, 2025.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of February 14,
2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The FAA 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 757 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on
[[Page 1851]]
March 25, 2024 (89 FR 20565). The NPRM was prompted by reports of
several occurrences of a PTU control valve that failed to open when
commanded. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require installing new
relays and changing certain wire bundles leading to the PTU control
valve. The FAA is issuing this AD to address failure of the PTU control
valve, which in conjunction with a loss of the left engine or engine-
driven pump (EDP) during takeoff, may result in a failure of the
landing gear to retract in a timely manner. This condition, if not
addressed, could add drag, affect climb gradient, and prevent the
airplane from clearing obstacles on takeoff. This condition can result
in loss of continued safe flight and landing.
Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive
Comments
The FAA received a comment from the Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA), who supported the NPRM without change.
The FAA received additional comments from Aviation Partners Boeing
(APB), Boeing, Delta Air Lines (Delta), and United Parcel Service
Airlines (UPS Airlines). United Airlines (United) supported the NPRM
and also provided additional comments, as discussed below. The
following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's
response to each comment.
Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions
APB stated that the installation of winglets per Supplemental Type
Certificate STC ST01518SE does not affect the accomplishment of the
manufacturer's service instructions.
The FAA agrees with the commenter that STC ST01518SE does not
affect the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions.
Therefore, the installation of STC ST01518SE does not affect the
ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD. The FAA has not
changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Revise Unsafe Condition Statement
Boeing requested two changes in the description of the unsafe
condition. One change is in the description of the state of the landing
gear retraction abilities from ``may result in a failure of the landing
gear to retract'' to ``may result in a failure of the landing gear to
retract in a timely manner.'' Boeing explained that the left hydraulic
system's electric motor pump would still function, but has a smaller
output capacity that results in being unable to retract the landing
gear in the time required to clear obstacles. The other requested
change is to clarify what conditions lead up to the slowed retraction
of the landing gear. Boeing explained that loss of either the left
engine or the EDP would lead to use of the electric motor pump and
requested that the related phrase ``left engine and engine driven pump
(EDP)'' be changed to ``left engine and/or engine driven pump (EDP).''
The FAA agrees to revise the unsafe condition statement. The
revisions provide a more accurate description of the unsafe condition
and of what conditions lead up to a slow retraction of the landing
gear. However, the FAA has revised ``left engine and engine driven pump
(EDP)'' to ``left engine or engine-driven pump (EDP)'' instead of using
``and/or.'' Although both failure conditions can occur, only one of the
conditions is necessary to affect the landing gear retraction. The FAA
has revised the Background section of this final rule and paragraph (e)
of this AD accordingly.
Requests To Revise AD To Address Missing Information in Service
Information
Boeing stated that additional engineering definition for wire
routing is necessary for a group of airplanes identified in Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 757-29A0071, dated November 16, 2023, and Boeing
Alert Requirements Bulletin 75-29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023, and
that the service bulletin and requirements bulletin will be revised.
Delta and United requested that paragraph (h) of the proposed AD be
revised to add an exception to address the errors in the wire routing
definition for the airplanes identified as Group 3 airplanes in Boeing
Alert Requirement Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023
(Group 3 airplanes). United also proposed that paragraph (g) of the
proposed AD be revised to incorporate Revision 1 of Boeing Alert
Requirement Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB, if it is created prior to the
release of this AD. Both Delta and United noted that Boeing published
Information Notice 757-29A0071 IN 01 to inform operators of issues with
work instructions for the Group 3 airplanes and advised to stop work on
those airplanes until new service information is published. United also
reasoned that the requested revision would help United and other
operators of Group 3 airplanes avoid applying for an AMOC when the
final rule is issued.
The FAA agrees with the need to provide additional definition for
wire routing that affects Group 3 airplanes because those airplanes
would be unable to comply with the instructions provided in Boeing
Alert Requirement Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023.
However, the FAA does not agree to revise the AD to reference Revision
1 of Boeing Alert Requirement Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB, or to add an
exception to address the errors in the instructions for Group 3
airplanes. A later revision of Boeing Alert Requirement Bulletin 757-
29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023, has not been issued and the
publication date is yet to be determined. To delay this action until
the revised service information is published would be inappropriate
since the FAA has determined that an unsafe condition exists and that
the actions must be conducted on the other affected groups of airplanes
to ensure continued safety. Operators may apply for approval to use
later revisions as an alternative method of compliance with this AD
under the provisions of paragraph (i) of this AD. The FAA has not
changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Add an Exception To Allow Alternative Positions for
Connectors
Delta requested that paragraph (h) of the proposed AD be revised to
add an exception that would allow the use of available connector
positions on panels and disconnects other than the ones defined in
Boeing Alert Requirement Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB, dated November 16,
2023. Delta explained that the figures in Boeing Alert Requirement
Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023, are specific in
defining positions within the panels and disconnects where the
connectors will be installed. Delta also stated that the specific
location of the connector installation and disconnects in the panel are
not necessary for the function of the system. Delta reasoned that
allowing operators to install the connectors in alternative available
positions would be acceptable for compliance with the proposed AD while
also giving operators flexibility in addressing variations in each
airplane's existing wiring.
The FAA agrees that using only the defined positions within the
panels and disconnect brackets for the new connectors to be installed
is not necessary to address the unsafe condition, and that allowing
alternatives would provide flexibility in complying with the
requirements of this AD on airplanes that might have different wiring
configurations. The action to perform the operational test verifies the
functionality of the system and will
[[Page 1852]]
continue to be required. The FAA has added an exception to paragraph
(h) of this AD to allow for installing connectors in alternative
available positions on panels and disconnect brackets than those
defined in Boeing Alert Requirement Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB, dated
November 16, 2023.
Request To Allow Use of Other Kit Materials
Delta requested a revision to paragraph (h) of the proposed AD to
add an exception that would allow the use of operator-supplied
materials that are the same as the Boeing-supplied materials in the
parts kit specified in Boeing Alert Requirement Bulletin 757-29A0071
RB, dated November 16, 2023. Delta explained that Boeing kits expire
within 3 months because of a limitation on the placard (decal) adhesive
and opined that operators should have the ability to supply the same
decal if the Boeing-supplied decal expires before use. In addition,
Delta also reasoned that operators should be able to supply their own
materials if Boeing-supplied kits are not available in time to avoid
delays in compliance with the proposed AD.
The FAA does not agree to revise this AD regarding this request.
The Boeing-supplied kits are specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
757-29A0071, dated November 16, 2023, which is not required by this AD.
This AD requires Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB,
dated November 16, 2023, which identifies parts that are required for
compliance. This AD does not require procuring the Boeing-supplied kits
that are specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 757-29A0071, dated
November 16, 2023. No revision to this AD is necessary in this regard.
Request To Extend Compliance Time Due to Parts Availability
UPS Airlines requested a revision to paragraph (h) of the proposed
AD to add an exception to a compliance time identified in Boeing Alert
Requirement Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023. This
requested exception would extend the calendar time limit from the
proposed 30 months after the effective date of the AD to 36 months
after the effective date of the AD. UPS Airlines explained that the
availability of the Boeing-supplied parts kit could affect the ability
to comply with the proposed compliance times. UPS Airlines stated that
there are only 15 of the Boeing-supplied kits in stock as of the date
of the NPRM, with an anticipated lead time of 175 to 352 days if all 15
kits are purchased and the inventory depleted. UPS Airlines added that
they have 429 airplanes in a configuration group that would require the
same part kit.
The FAA does not agree to revise the AD regarding this issue. As
explained in the previous comment, the Boeing-supplied kits are not
part of the requirements of Boeing Alert Requirement Bulletin 757-
29A0071 RB, dated November 16, 2023, and are specified in Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 757-29A0071, dated November 16, 2023, thus operators
may procure the parts from their supplies without an AMOC or revision
to this AD. In developing an appropriate compliance time for this
action, the FAA considered the recommendations of the manufacturer, the
urgency associated with the subject unsafe condition, the availability
of required parts, and the practical aspect of accomplishing the
required modification within a period of time that corresponds to the
normal scheduled maintenance for most affected operators. In
consideration of these items, the FAA has determined that the
compliance time of 30 months or 2,760 flight hours after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs first, will ensure an acceptable
level of safety. However, under the provisions of paragraph (i) of this
AD, the FAA will consider requests for approval of an extension of the
compliance time if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that
new compliance times would provide an acceptable level of safety.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, and
any other changes described previously, this AD is adopted as proposed
in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on
any operator.
Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 757-29A0071 RB,
dated November 16, 2023. This material specifies procedures for
changing the wire bundle from circuit breaker C4054 to the P33 panel,
installing new relays in the P33 panel, and changing wire bundles to
the PTU control valve. This material 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.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 467 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates 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.
[[Page 1853]]
The FAA is 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.
