Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, 
-700C, -800, and -900 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 
Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes. This AD 
requires replacement of the power control relays in the P91 and P92 
power distribution panels for the fuel boost and override pumps with 
new, improved relays having a ground fault interrupter (GFI) feature, 
or installation and maintenance of universal fault interrupters (UFIs) 
using a certain supplemental type certificate. This AD results from 
fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this 
AD to prevent pump housing burn-through due to electrical arcing, which 
could create a potential ignition source inside a 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 September 22, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of September 22, 
2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to 
certain Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes. 
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 11, 2008 (73 
FR 12910). That NPRM proposed to require replacement of the power 
control relays in the P91 and P92 power distribution panels for the 
fuel boost and override pumps with new, improved relays having a ground 
fault interrupter (GFI) feature. That NPRM also proposed to require a 
revision to the Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) section of the 
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate AWL No. 28-AWL-
20.

Actions Since NPRM Was Issued

    To avoid including redundant requirements in this AD, we have 
removed the proposed requirement to revise the AWL section of certain 
maintenance documents to include new repetitive operational checks of 
the ground fault interrupter (GFI) for all alternating current fuel 
tank boost pumps to ensure continued functionality of the GFI circuit. 
This AWL revision is already required by AD 2008-10-10 R1, Amendment 
39-16164 (75 FR 1529, January 12, 2010), for certain Model 737-600, -
700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes with an original standard 
airworthiness certificate or original export certificate issued before 
March 31, 2006. Airplanes with a certificate issued on or after March 
31, 2006, must already be compliant with the AWL because those 
limitations were applicable as part of the airworthiness certification 
of those airplanes. We have removed the AWL revision requirement from 
this AD (specified in paragraph (g) of the NPRM), the related 
requirement to obtain FAA approval for any alternative inspections or 
inspection intervals (specified in paragraph (h) of the NPRM), and Note 
1 of the NPRM. We have re-identified subsequent paragraphs accordingly.
    Boeing has issued Revision 1, dated May 28, 2009, to Boeing Alert 
Service Bulletin 737-28A1201. (The NPRM referred to Boeing Alert 
Service Bulletin 737-28A1201, dated February 19, 2007.) We have revised 
paragraphs (c) and (f) of this AD to reference Boeing Alert Service 
Bulletin 737-28A1201, Revision 1, dated May 28, 2009, and have added 
new paragraph (g) of this AD to provide credit (with certain 
provisions) for Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-28A1201, dated 
February 19, 2007. Revision 1 corrects the wiring configuration group 
for some airplanes, adds and corrects some figures and references and 
adds a resistance check between the GFI relay's mounting flange and a 
point on the panel cross member of the P91 and P92 panels. Revision 1 
also adds a resistance measurement for airplanes that have accomplished 
the actions specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-28A1201, 
dated February 19, 2007.
    Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-28A1201, Revision 1, dated May 
28, 2009, refers to Honeywell Service Bulletins 1151932-24-61 and 
1151934-24-62, both Revision 5, both dated May 25, 2009, as additional 
sources of guidance for accomplishing a resistance check between the 
GFI relay's mounting flange and a point on the panel cross member of 
the P91 and P92 panels. Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-28A1201, 
Revision 1, dated May 28, 2009, refers to Honeywell Service Bulletin 
1151932-24-61, Revision 5, dated May 25, 2009, as an additional source 
of guidance for replacing the power control relays in the P91 power 
distribution panel. Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-28A1201, Revision 
1, dated May 28, 2009, also refers to Honeywell Service Bulletin 
1151934-24-62, Revision 5, dated May 25, 2009, as an additional source 
of guidance for replacing the power control relays in the P92 power 
distribution panels.
    Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-28A1201, Revision 1, dated May 
28, 2009, references an incorrect date for Revision 5 of Honeywell 
Service Bulletins 1151932-24-61 and 1151934-24-62. Boeing Alert Service 
Bulletin 737-28A1201, Revision 1, dated May 28, 2009, states January 
22, 2009, for Revision 5 of Honeywell Service Bulletins 1151932-24-61 
and 1151934-24-62. The correct date for Revision 5 of Honeywell Service 
Bulletins 1151932-24-61 and 1151934-24-62 is May 25, 2009.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this AD. We considered the comments received from the eight commenters.

Support for the Proposed AD

    Ermelinda Villagomez, a private citizen, supports the NPRM.

Request To Revise References of Part Numbers

    Continental Airlines (CAL) requests that we prevent future part 
number problems by removing reference to the part number of the panel 
assemblies and adding reference to the GFI relay part number that is 
installed. CAL states that there is a possibility that P91 and P92 
panels can have internal components and wiring modified without the 
FAA's knowledge or approval.
    We infer that CAL is requesting that references to the part numbers 
be changed due to concerns about the need for AMOC requests. We agree 
that references to the part numbers need to be changed from the panel 
part numbers to the GFI relay part number. Otherwise, AMOC approval 
would be needed for any change to the P91 and P92 panels. The NPRM did 
not reference panel part numbers, but referenced Boeing Alert Service 
Bulletin 737-28A1201, dated February 19, 2007, which did reference 
those panel part numbers. Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-28A1201, 
Revision 1, dated May 28, 2009, also references those panel part 
numbers. We have revised paragraph (f) of this AD to reference the part 
number of the GFI relay that is installed at certain relay positions in 
the P91 and P92 panels.

Requests To Cite Later Revision of Honeywell Service Bulletins

    Boeing, CAL, SkyEurope Airlines, and Japan Airlines request that we 
revise Note 2 of the NPRM to reference the current revision (Revision 
4, dated March 25, 2008; or Revision 3, dated June 22, 2007; 
respectively), of Honeywell Service Bulletins 1151932-24-61 and 
1151934-24-62. Boeing requests that we reference the latest revised 
Honeywell service bulletins and notes that the latest revisions were 
being submitted for FAA approval. Japan Airlines also notes that the 
original issue, dated November 10, 2006, of the Honeywell Service 
Bulletins 1151932-24-61 and 1151934-24-62, could not be applied to 
actual airplanes due to a parts interference problem.
    We concur with the intent of the requests. Since the four 
commenters submitted their comments, Honeywell has issued Revision 5, 
dated May 25, 2009, of Honeywell Service Bulletins 1151932-24-61 and 
1151934-24-62. Honeywell Service Bulletins 1151932-24-61 and 1151934-
24-62, both Revision 5, both dated May 25, 2009, were described 
previously in the ``Actions Since NPRM Was Issued'' section of this AD. 
We have revised Note 1 of this AD (Note 2 of the NPRM) to reference 
Honeywell Service Bulletins 1151932-24-61 and 1151934-24-62, both 
Revision 5, both dated May 25, 2009.

Request To Justify Need for Rulemaking

    AirTran Airways (AirTran) requests that we confirm that adequate 
analysis was performed to justify this rulemaking. AirTran believes 
that fuel pump arcing issues have been addressed by current rulemaking 
and that there is no need to retrofit airplanes with GFI relays. 
AirTran references AD 2002-19-52, Amendment 39-12900 (67 FR 61253, 
September 30, 2002) (for all Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 
series airplanes; Model 747 series airplanes; and Model 757 series 
airplanes), as an example of an AD issued against the fuel pump motor-
impeller assembly to ensure that the wire routing mitigates arcing. 
AirTran also states that in order for an ignition source to enter the 
fuel tank, it believes significant arcing would have to occur on one or 
more phases of the circuit to burn through the motor-impeller assembly 
and through the housing. AirTran asserts that an arc of this 
significance would trip the currently installed circuit breakers 
without the need for a GFI relay.
    We disagree with AirTran's assessment. We have examined the 
underlying safety issues involved in fuel tank explosions as detailed 
in the Discussion section in the NPRM. We have determined that an 
additional layer of protection is needed to mitigate potential ignition 
sources within the fuel tanks due to certain electrical failures 
internal to the fuel pumps. Standard circuit breakers are not designed 
to detect arcing events nor are they able to trip in time to protect 
the fuel pumps under these arcing conditions. The primary function of 
the circuit breakers is to protect the wiring. We have not changed the 
AD in this regard.

Requests To Permit Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) 
ST02076LA as a Means of Compliance

    TDG Aerospace, Southwest Airlines, CAL, and the Air Transport 
Association (ATA) on behalf of its member American Airlines, request 
that we allow the installation of TDG Aerospace STC ST02076LA as a 
means of compliance for providing electrical fault protection for the 
center override boost pumps. All four commenters state that the 
universal fault interrupter (UFI) has been demonstrated and approved as 
equivalent to or better than the protection provided by a standard GFI 
relay.
    TDG Aerospace points out that UFIs have been approved as 
alternative method of compliance (AMOCs) for paragraph (b) of AD 2002-
24-51, Amendment 39-12992 (68 FR 10, January 2, 2003) (for all Model 
737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes; Model 747 series 
airplanes; and Model 757 series airplanes), and paragraph (a) of AD 
2001-08-24, Amendment 39-12201 (66 FR 20733, April 25, 2001) (for all 
Model 737 series airplanes). TDG Aerospace adds that, for airplanes 
with STC ST02076LA installed, mandating the installation of GFI relays 
at center override boost pump positions R54 and R55 duplicates 
protection, adds unnecessary costs, and could generate nuisance events 
in the UFI system. TDG also points out that referencing STC ST02076LA 
in the AD would save the FAA and operators time and effort spent on 
coordinating multiple AMOC requests.
    We agree with the commenters' requests. We have evaluated the STC 
and agree that installing and maintaining the TDG Aerospace UFI using 
STC ST02076LA is an acceptable alternative means of addressing the 
unsafe condition identified in this AD. We have revised paragraph (f) 
of this AD to require replacement of the power control relays in 
accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-28A1201, Revision 1, 
dated May 28, 2009, or installation of the STC.

Request To Extend Proposed Compliance Time for Installation

    The ATA, on behalf of its member American Airlines, requests that 
we extend the compliance time for replacing the power control relays 
from 60 months to 72 months. American Airlines states that this 
extension would allow operators to align the modification with the 
industry-standard heavy maintenance visit interval of 72 months. 
American Airlines also points out that a 60-month compliance time will 
increase out-of-service time due to unscheduled modifications.
    We disagree with this request. In developing an appropriate 
compliance time for installing new fuel pump control GFI relays, we 
considered the safety implications and the practical aspect of 
accomplishing the installation within a period of time that corresponds 
to the normal scheduled maintenance

[[Page 50861]]

for most affected operators. In consideration for these items, we have 
determined that a 60-month compliance time will ensure an acceptable 
level of safety and allow the installation to be done during scheduled 
maintenance intervals for most affected operators. However, under the 
provisions of paragraph (h) of this AD, we will consider requests for 
approval of an AMOC if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate 
that the request would provide an adequate level of safety. We have not 
changed the AD in this regard.

Request To Reference Other Maintenance Procedures

    CAL requests that we revise the reference to Airworthiness 
Limitation (AWL) 28-AWL-20. CAL notes that the maintenance 
documentation for AWL 28-AWL-20 is too generic to show each specific 
requirement as detailed in the airplane's center tank pump override 
relay configuration.
    We disagree with CAL's assertion that AWL 28-AWL-20 is 
insufficient. That AWL identifies a section of the airplane maintenance 
manual (AMM) as a document that provides appropriate guidance for doing 
GFI operational checks. However, to avoid including redundant 
requirements in this AD, we have removed the proposed requirement to 
revise the AWL section of certain maintenance documents to include AWL 
28-AWL-20 (which would require repetitive operational checks of the GFI 
for all alternating current fuel tank boost pumps to ensure continued 
functionality of the GFI circuits). This AWL revision is already 
required by AD 2008-10-10 R1, Amendment 39-16164, for certain Boeing 
Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes with an 
original standard airworthiness certificate or original export 
certificate issued before March 31, 2006. Airplanes with a certificate 
issued on or after March 31, 2006, must already be compliant with the 
AWL revision because those limitations were applicable as part of the 
airworthiness certification of those airplanes. We have removed the AWL 
revision requirement from this AD (which was specified in paragraph (g) 
of the NPRM) and re-identified subsequent paragraphs.

Request To Clarify the Use of GFIs

    CAL questions the use of GFIs for protection against arcing 
conditions identified in the NPRM. CAL contends that the use of arc 
fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) is the appropriate device to protect 
pumps from damage due to arcing. CAL states that its understanding of 
the GFI is that GFIs are used to disconnect a circuit whenever it 
detects that the current flow is not balanced. When a ground fault 
above a prescribed threshold level and time duration is detected, the 
GFI relay is tripped. CAL also states that electrical arcing (that the 
NPRM actions are supposed to prevent) is a localized, high-energy event 
and the GFI relay is not an AFCI that is designed to prevent fires by 
detecting those electrical arcs and disconnecting power before the arc 
starts a fire.
    We find that we need to clarify the use of the GFI relay. We have 
determined that the GFI is an appropriate method to protect the fuel 
pumps from other electrical faults, and from damage caused by 
electrical arcs that result from wiring coming in contact with the 
housing of the fuel pump. The proposed AFCI are susceptible to nuisance 
tripping. These circuit breakers are not yet recommended for use in 
airplane systems, especially systems that perform functions essential 
to the safe flight and landing of the aircraft. However, under the 
provisions of paragraph (h) of this AD, we will consider requests to 
approve different solutions if sufficient data are submitted to 
substantiate that the change would provide an acceptable level of 
safety. We have not changed the AD in this regard.

Requests To Consider Other Methods of Compliance

    CAL is concerned that the FAA did not give enough attention to 
solutions other than that specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 
737-28A1201, dated February 19, 2007. TDG Aerospace is curious why the 
NPRM did not simply state the requirement for GFI at the six fuel pump 
positions and then list the approved solutions for each position.
    We infer that CAL and TDG Aerospace request that we evaluate 
solutions from other companies to address the unsafe condition 
addressed by this AD. We evaluated the proposed solution from Boeing 
and verified that it addresses the unsafe condition. In addition, as 
explained under the previous header ``Requests to Permit Installation 
of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST02076LA as a Means of 
Compliance,'' we agree that installing and maintaining the TDG 
Aerospace UFI in accordance with that STC is an acceptable means of 
addressing the unsafe condition identified in this AD.
    We cannot address all possible solutions in an AD in a timely 
manner. It is more practical from a workload and cost-effectiveness 
standpoint to make the AD applicable generally to the affected fleet 
and to deal with other possible solutions individually via the AMOC 
process. Under the provisions of paragraph (h) of this AD, we will 
consider requests to approve different solutions if sufficient data are 
submitted to substantiate that the change would provide an acceptable 
level of safety. We have not changed the AD in this regard.

Request To Correct a Typographical Error

    Boeing requests that we correct a typographical error. Boeing 
states that paragraph (h) of the NPRM references paragraph (j) instead 
of paragraph (i) of the NPRM, and points out that there is no paragraph 
(j) in the NPRM.
    We agree. However, as explained previously, we have removed 
paragraph (h) of the NPRM. No further change to the AD is necessary in 
this regard.

Explanation of Change to Applicability

    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 reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, 
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
the AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that 
these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or 
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

    We estimate that this AD would affect 754 products of U.S. 
registry. The following table provides the estimated costs, at an 
average labor rate of $85 per hour, for U.S. operators 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.

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), 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of 
compliance in the AD Docket.
