Federal Register Abstract
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-17-03 for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. AD 2008-17-03 required repetitive inspections to detect fuselage frame cracking, and corrective action if necessary. AD 2008-17-03 also provided for optional terminating action (repair/ preventive change) for the repetitive inspections. This new AD adds airplanes to the applicability, but does not provide terminating action for the newly added airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found at the cutout in the web of body station frame 303.9 inboard of stringer 16L, as well as a new report of cracking found on an airplane not identified in the applicability of AD 2008-17-03. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fuselage frame cracking, which could prevent the left forward entry door from sealing correctly, and could cause in-flight decompression of the airplane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2008-17-03, Amendment 39-15641 (73 FR 48288,
August 19, 2008). AD 2008-17-03 applied to certain The Boeing Company
Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 14, 2014 (79 FR 20824).
The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracks found at the cutout in the
web of body station frame 303.9 inboard of stringer 16L, and the
subsequent determination that additional airplanes are subject to the
requirements of AD 2008-17-03. The NPRM proposed to continue to require
repetitive inspections for fuselage frame cracking and applicable
corrective action, add airplanes to the applicability, and to provide
optional terminating action (repair/preventive change) for the
repetitive inspections for the airplanes subject to AD 2008-17-03. We
are issuing this AD to detect and correct fuselage frame cracking,
which could prevent the left forward entry door from sealing correctly,
and could cause in-flight decompression of the airplane.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM (79
FR 20824, April 14, 2014) and the FAA's response to each comment.
Effect of Winglets on This AD
Aviation Partners Boeing stated that accomplishing the supplemental
type certificate (STC) ST01219SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/
Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
ebd1cec7b301293e86257cb30045557a/$FILE/ST01219SE.pdf) does not affect
the actions specified in the NPRM (79 FR 20824, April 14, 2014).
We concur with the commenter. We have redesignated paragraphs (c),
(c)(1), and (c)(2) of the NPRM (79 FR 20824, April 14, 2014) as
paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(1)(i), and (c)(1)(ii) of this AD, and added new
paragraph (c)(2) to this AD to state that installation of STC ST01219SE
(http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
ebd1cec7b301293e86257cb30045557a/$FILE/ST01219SE.pdf) does not affect
the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD. Therefore,
for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is installed, a ``change in
product'' alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval request is
not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.
Request To Clarify Certain Requirements
All Nippon Airways (ANA) requested that we revise paragraph (i) of
the proposed AD (79 FR 20824, April 14, 2014), which added new
inspections for Group 2 airplanes in accordance with Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-53A1188, Revision 3, dated September 6, 2013. ANA
claimed that this requirement included unnecessary procedures for
opening and closing access from the aft side of the inspection area
because the inspection is required from the forward side. ANA suggested
that we include the information in Note 8 of paragraph 3.A., General
Instructions, of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1188, Revision 3,
dated September 6, 2013, to exclude the unnecessary procedures. Note 8
states, in part, as follows:
If it is necessary to remove more parts for access, you can remove
those parts. If you can get access without removing identified
parts, it is not necessary to remove all of the identified parts. .
. .
We agree with the request. We have revised paragraph (i) in this AD
to point to this exception in new paragraph (j)(4) in this AD. We have
similarly changed paragraphs (g) and (h) in this AD to also specify
this exception.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this 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
NPRM (73 FR 20824, April 14, 2014) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (73 FR 20824, April 14, 2014).
We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 148 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
[[Page 71298]]
Estimated Costs: Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection..................... 31 to 33 work-hours x $0 Up to $2,805 per Up to $415,140
$85 per hour = up to inspection cycle. per inspection
$2,805 per inspection cycle
cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Costs: Optional Modification
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repair/preventive change........... 12 to 30 work-hours x $85 $564 to $2,236........ Up to $4,786

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates 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:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2008-17-03, Amendment 39-15641 (73 FR 48288, August 19, 2008), and
adding the following new AD:
2014-23-10 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-18026; Docket No. FAA-
2014-0195; Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-195-AD.
(a) Effective Date
This AD is effective January 6, 2015.
(b) Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2008-17-03, Amendment 39-15641 (73 FR 48288,
August 19, 2008).
(c) Applicability
(1) This AD applies to The Boeing Company airplanes,
certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and
(c)(1)(ii) of this AD.
(i) Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes, as identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-
53A1197, dated August 25, 2006.
(ii) Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, as
identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1188, Revision 3,
dated September 6, 2013.
(2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
ST01219SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/
rgstc.nsf/0/ebd1cec7b301293e86257cb30045557a/$FILE/ST01219SE.pdf)
does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by
this AD. For airplanes on which STC ST01219SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/
Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
ebd1cec7b301293e86257cb30045557a/$FILE/ST01219SE.pdf) is installed,
therefore, a ``change in product'' alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53, Fuselage.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found at the cutout in
the web of body station frame 303.9 inboard of stringer 16L, and a
new report of cracking found on an airplane not included in the
applicability of AD 2008-17-03, Amendment 39-15641 (73 FR 48288,
August 19, 2008). We are issuing this AD to detect and correct such
cracking, which could prevent the left forward entry door from
sealing correctly, and could cause in-flight decompression of the
airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Retained Repetitive Inspections: Group 1 Airplanes, Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-53A1188, Revision 2, Dated May 9, 2007; or Boeing

cycles, until accomplishment of the repair/preventive change in
accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1188, Revision
2, dated May 9, 2007; or Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1188,
Revision 3, dated September 6, 2013; which terminates the repetitive
inspection requirements for the airplanes identified in this
paragraph. A repair/preventive change done using Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-53A1188, dated April 9, 1998; or Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-53A1188, Revision 1, dated March 18, 1999; does
not terminate the repetitive inspections, but the repetitive
inspections may be terminated after the existing kit is replaced
with a new kit in accordance with paragraph 3.B., Part II, step 3,
or Part III, step 3, of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1188,
Revision 2, dated May 9, 2007. As of the effective date of this AD,
only Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1188, Revision 3, dated
September 6, 2013, may be used to do the actions required by this
paragraph.
Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD: Airplanes identified as
