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:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
<bullet> 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.
per hour = Up to $340.
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
