Federal Register Abstract
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-11-08 for all The Boeing Company Model 727 airplanes. AD 2007-11-08 required repetitive inspections of the in-tank fuel boost pump wiring, installation of sleeving over the in-tank fuel boost pump wires, repetitive inspections of a certain electrical wire, sleeve, and conduit, and applicable investigative and corrective actions; and repetitive engine fuel suction feed operational tests. This new AD also requires replacement of the wire bundles for the wing and center fuel boost pumps, installation of convoluted liners, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD also requires replacement of the fuel quantity indicating system (FQIS) wires, a low-frequency eddy current inspection for cracking, and repair if necessary. This new AD also requires revising the maintenance program to incorporate changes to the airworthiness limitations section. This AD was prompted by a report of damage found to the sleeve, jacket, and insulation on an electrical wire during a repetitive inspection. We are issuing this AD to prevent chafing of the fuel boost pump electrical wiring and leakage of fuel into the conduit, and to prevent electrical arcing between the wiring and the surrounding conduit, which could result in arc-through of the conduit, and consequent fire or explosion of the fuel tank.

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-11-08 for
all The Boeing Company Model 727 airplanes. AD 2007-11-08 required
repetitive inspections of the in-tank fuel boost pump wiring,
installation of sleeving over the in-tank fuel boost pump wires,
repetitive inspections of a certain electrical wire, sleeve, and
conduit, and applicable investigative and corrective actions; and
repetitive engine fuel suction feed operational tests. This new AD also
requires replacement of the wire bundles for the wing and center fuel
boost pumps, installation of convoluted liners, and related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD also
requires replacement of the fuel quantity indicating system (FQIS)
wires, a low-frequency eddy current inspection for cracking, and repair
if necessary. This new AD also requires revising the maintenance
program to incorporate changes to the airworthiness limitations
section. This AD was prompted by a report of damage found to the
sleeve, jacket, and insulation on an electrical wire during a
repetitive inspection. We are issuing this AD to prevent chafing of the
fuel boost pump electrical wiring and leakage of fuel into the conduit,
and to prevent electrical arcing between the wiring and the surrounding
conduit, which could result in arc-through of the conduit, and
consequent fire or explosion of the fuel tank.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR Part 39 to supersede AD 2007-11-08, Amendment 39-15065 (72
FR 28594, May 22, 2007). AD 2007-11-08 applied to the specified
products. The SNPRM published in the Federal Register on August 13,
2013 (78 FR 49217). We preceded the SNPRM with a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) that published in the Federal Register on October 11,
2012 (77 FR 61731). The NPRM (77 FR 61731, October 11, 2012) proposed
to continue to require repetitive inspections of the in-tank fuel boost
pump wiring, installation of sleeving over the in-tank fuel boost pump
wires, repetitive inspections of a certain electrical wire, sleeve, and
conduit, and applicable investigative and corrective actions; and
repetitive engine fuel suction feed operational tests. The NPRM also
proposed to require replacement of the wire bundles for the wing and
center fuel boost pumps, installation of convoluted liners, and related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. The NPRM also
proposed to require replacement of the FQIS wires; a low-frequency eddy
current inspection for cracking; and repair if necessary. The NPRM also
proposed to require revising the maintenance program to incorporate
changes to the airworthiness limitations section. The SNPRM proposed to
revise certain compliance times, specify a terminating action, and add
a requirement to incorporate another change to the airworthiness
limitations section.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We have considered the comment received. The Boeing Company
stated that it supports the SNPRM (78 FR 49217, August 13, 2013).
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
SNPRM (78 FR 49217, August 13, 2013) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM (78 FR 49217, August 13, 2013).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
a cost estimate 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
We have determined that 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR Part 39 as follows:
