SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by fuel system reviews conducted by the
manufacturer. This AD requires doing an inspection to identify the part
number of the motor-operated valve (MOV) actuators of the main and
center fuel tanks; replacing certain MOV actuators with new MOV
actuators; and measuring the electrical resistance of the bond from the
adapter plate to the airplane structure, and doing corrective actions
if necessary. 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 25, 2013.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of April 25,
2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an
[[Page 17291]]
airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to the specified
products. That SNPRM published in the Federal Register on December 23,
2010 (75 FR 80738). The original NPRM (73 FR 45893, August 7, 2008)
proposed to require doing an inspection of the MOV actuators of the
main and center fuel tanks for a certain part number (P/N); replacing
the MOV actuator with a new MOV actuator if necessary; and measuring
the electrical resistance of the bond from the adapter plate to the
airplane structure, and corrective actions if necessary. The original
NPRM also proposed to require revising the Airworthiness Limitations
section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness. The SNPRM
proposed to revise the original NPRM by adding airplanes and removing
the requirement for revising the Airworthiness Limitations section of
the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the SNPRM (75
FR 80738, December 23, 2010) and the FAA's response to each comment.
Support for the SNPRM (75 FR 80738, December 23, 2010)
Continental Airlines has no technical objections, issues, or
comments to the SNPRM (75 FR 80738, December 23, 2010).
Request To Revise Applicability To Include Part Number
Boeing requested that the applicability of the SNPRM (75 FR 80738,
December 23, 2010) be revised to include the phrase, ``with MOV
actuator part number MA20A1001-1 installed.'' Boeing stated that the
change will avoid future alternative methods of compliance (AMOC)
requests.
We disagree with revising the applicability of this AD because
paragraph (c) of this AD clearly defines the airplanes affected by this
AD. For those affected airplanes, paragraph (g) of this AD requires
inspection of the MOV actuators to determine their part number. If an
MOV actuator with P/N MA20A1001-1 is found, that actuator must be
replaced, as required by paragraph (h) of this AD. No change has been
made to the AD in this regard.
Request To Allow Installation of Certain Parts
Boeing requested that, if the applicability of the SNPRM (75 FR
80738, December 23, 2010) is not revised, we add a statement allowing
MOV actuators certified after P/N MA30A1001 to be installed without
AMOC approval. Boeing stated that this would allow normal maintenance
to resume once P/N MA20A1001-1 is removed. Boeing stated that the
aircraft configuration with an MOV actuator having P/N MA30A1001
becomes the mandated configuration, because the SNPRM requires the
installation of that specific part number. Boeing stated that the SNPRM
would not allow the installation of actuators approved after P/N
MA30A1001 without AMOC approval.
We agree with the commenter's request. In the case of this MOV
actuator, we will allow--without AMOC approval--replacement of the
affected MOV actuator with a Boeing part. The replacement part must be
fully interchangeable with the part specified in Boeing Service
Bulletin 777-28A0034, Revision 2, dated September 20, 2010, and must be
approved by the FAA after September 20, 2010. Paragraph (h) of this AD
has been revised to include this provision.
Request for Further Investigation
China Southern Airlines requested that we further investigate the
ignition potential of P/N MA20A1001-1 to find a better solution that
does not require installing the new P/N MA30A1001. The commenter stated
that it would like to see P/N MA30A1001 experience better reliability
than P/N MA20A1001 before we require a big cost burden on operators.
We disagree with the request to further investigate P/N MA20A1001-
1. That part number was identified as unsafe during the Special Federal
Aviation Regulation No. 88 (SFAR 88) (66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001) system
safety assessment reviews conducted by the manufacturer and must be
replaced. Steps have been taken to improve the reliability of P/N
MA30A1001, and that part does not have the identified unsafe condition
that is the subject of this AD. No change has been made to this AD in
this regard.
Request To Remove Paragraph (i) of the SNPRM (75 FR 80738, December 23,
2010)
United Airlines (UAL) requested that we remove paragraph (i) of the
SNPRM (75 FR 80738, December 23, 2010), which prohibits installation of
MOV actuators having P/N MA20A1001-1 on any airplane as of the
effective date of this AD. UAL stated that the 777 Aircraft Maintenance
Manual (AMM) does not provide sufficient replacement instructions for
operators to maintain compliance with paragraph (i) of the SNPRM. UAL
stated that the proposed rule will cause undue economic hardship on
operators. UAL also noted that similar ADs do not contain a similar
parts prohibition paragraph. UAL also stated that paragraph (h) of the
SNPRM specifies to do ``all applicable corrective actions before
further flight''; therefore, an operator would have to replace all MOV
actuators at the same time.
We disagree with the request to remove paragraph (i) of this AD.
Because an unsafe condition has been identified on P/N MA20A1001-1, we
have determined that P/N MA20A1001-1 cannot be allowed for
installation. This AD requires the replacement of all affected MOV
actuators from an operator's fleet within the specified compliance
time; however, the AD does not require replacement of all affected MOV
actuators on an airplane at the same time. Operators are allowed to
replace only one MOV actuator and then bring the aircraft back into
service. Paragraph (h) of this AD does specify doing all applicable
corrective actions before further flight, but the applicable corrective
actions are those associated with the measurement of the electrical
resistance of the bond. If an operator encountered unscheduled removal
of P/N MA20A1001-1, that part should be replaced with a part having an
accepted part number (i.e., P/N MA30A1001 or other FAA-approved
replacement). However, according to the provisions of paragraph (m) of
this AD, operators may request approval of an AMOC if the request is
submitted with substantiating data that prove the requested action will
provide an adequate level of safety. No change has been made to the AD
in this regard.
Request To Revise Proposed Costs of Compliance
UAL requested that we revise or clarify the Costs of Compliance
section of the SNPRM (75 FR 80738, December 23, 2010). UAL considered
that the maximum costs are understated in the SNPRM. UAL stated that,
since there are 11 actuators on each airplane, the parts costs need to
be changed to include 11 actuators.
We agree to revise the cost of parts in the Costs of Compliance
section of this AD. Since the labor cost is based on the total number
of work-hours required to replace all 11 actuators, the parts cost
should also be based on the total cost of 11 actuators. The Costs of
Compliance section has been revised accordingly.
[[Page 17292]]
Request To Permit Omission of Parts Inspection or Record Check
UAL requested that paragraph (g) of the SNPRM (75 FR 80738,
December 23, 2010) be revised to include an additional paragraph that
permits operators to omit the parts inspection or records check and to
permit removal of the installed MOV, regardless of the part number, and
install the new part number, in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin
777-28A0034, Revision 2, dated September 20, 2010. UAL stated that this
will allow operators to avoid costs associated with inspections and
records checks while achieving the same level of safety by ensuring
that P/N MA30A1001 is installed.
We agree to add replacement of the MOV actuators as an optional
method of compliance with the inspection or records check required by
paragraph (g) of this AD. Replacing actuators with actuators having
part numbers other than P/N MA20A1001-1 addresses the identified unsafe
condition. We have added new paragraph (l) to this AD to allow the
option. We have re-identified subsequent paragraphs accordingly.
Request To Incorporate New Information in Information Notice
UAL requests that operators be allowed to incorporate the
information contained in Boeing Service Bulletin Information Notice
(IN) 777-28A0034 IN 04, dated January 6, 2011, as an option for
compliance with the SNPRM (75 FR 80738, December 23, 1010).
We agree that certain information identified in Boeing Service
Bulletin IN 777-28A0034 IN 04, dated January 6, 2011, should be
included in this AD. We have added paragraph (k)(1) to this AD to
specify the correct equipment number in the title of the work package
specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin
777-28A0034, Revision 2, dated September 20, 2010. Boeing Service
Bulletin IN 777-28A0034 IN 04, dated January 6, 2011, also clarifies
certain weight and balance changes; however, because this AD does not
refer to that section of Boeing Service Bulletin 777-28A0034, Revision
2, dated September 20, 2010, no change to this AD is necessary in this
regard.
Other Changes Made to This AD
We have added paragraph (k)(2) to this AD to exclude airplanes with
Airline Information Management System (AIMS) V1 installed from the
requirement to replace actuators at the spar valve location. The
currently available MOV actuator installed in those locations presents
a risk of a latent failure of the indication portion of the actuator,
which could lead to the inability to shut fuel off to an engine. For
AIMS V1-equipped airplanes, the risk associated with the creation of an
ignition source inside the fuel tank will need to be eliminated by
means other than replacing the actuator with P/N MA30A1001. Future
rulemaking for the AIMS V1-equipped airplanes might be needed to
address this SFAR 88 (66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001) issue. We have
coordinated this issue with Boeing.
We have also clarified paragraph (j) of this AD by specifying that
credit is given for certain actions done ``before the effective date of
this AD'' using specific service information. We have also revised the
heading and wording of paragraph (j) of this AD. This change does not
affect the intent of that paragraph.
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 and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
SNPRM (75 FR 80738, December 23, 2010) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM (75 FR 80738, December 23, 2010).
We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 127 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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection of MOV Actuators.. Up to 6 work- $0 Up to $510............. Up to $64,770.
hours x $85
per hour =
$510.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have
no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these
replacements.
On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replacement of 11 MOV Actuators Up to 47 work-hours Up to $60,247.............. Up to $64,242.
Without Fuel Tank Access. x $85 per hour =
$3,995.
Replacement of 11 MOV Actuators Up to 423 work- Up to $60,247.............. Up to $96,202.
With Fuel Tank Access. hours x $85 per
hour = $35,955.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
[[Page 17293]]
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.

performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions
have already been done.
(g) Inspection
Except as provided by paragraph (l) of this AD: Within 60 months
after the effective date of this AD, do an inspection of the MOV
actuators of the main and center fuel tanks for part number (P/N)
MA20A1001-1, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Service Bulletin 777-28A0034, Revision 2, dated September 20,
2010. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu
of this inspection if the part number can be conclusively determined
from that review.
(h) Replacement
Except as provided by paragraphs (k)(1) and (k)(2) of this AD,
if any MOV actuator having P/N MA20A1001-1 is found during the
inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD, within 60 months
after the effective date of this AD, replace the MOV actuator with
either a new or serviceable MOV actuator having P/N MA30A1001, or
with an MOV actuator that meets the criteria specified in paragraphs
(h)(1) and (h)(2) of this AD; and, as applicable, measure the
electrical resistance of the bond from the adapter plate to the
airplane structure and do all applicable corrective actions; in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service
