SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to The Boeing Company Model
777-200 and -300 series airplanes equipped with Rolls-Royce Model Trent
800 engines. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on March 17,
2016 (81 FR 14402). The NPRM was prompted by reports of damage to the
upper bifurcation forward fire seal and seal deflector, and localized
damage to the insulation blanket installed just aft of the fire seal.
The NPRM proposed to require installing serviceable left and right T/R
halves on the left and right engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent
a breach in the engine firewall due to a failed upper bifurcation
forward fire seal. A breach could delay or prevent the fire detection
and suppression system from functioning properly, and could result in
an increased risk of a fire, prolonged burning, and breach of the fire
zone; and could allow fire to reach unprotected areas of the engine,
the strut, and wing after engine shutdown. Also, fan air bypassing the
fire seal could cause localized damage to the T/R insulation blanket
installed just aft of the fire seal, which could allow limited thermal
degradation of the T/R inner wall. This could aggravate existing damage
and cause the T/R's inner wall to fail.
Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued
In the Other Relevant Rulemaking section of the NPRM we mentioned
additional proposed rulemaking related to the T/Rs for Model 777-200
and -300 series airplanes equipped with Rolls-Royce Model RB211-Trent
800 engines. That action was subsequently issued as a supplemental NPRM
(SNPRM), Docket Number FAA-2011-0027, Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-
127-AD, which was published in the Federal Register on September 25,
2015 (80 FR 57744). The final rule for that SNPRM has been issued and
was published in the Federal Register on June 17, 2016 (81 FR 39547),
as AD 2016-11-16, Amendment 39-18543.
Since the NPRM was issued, the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) issued EASA AD 2016-0084, dated April 28, 2016, for Rolls-Royce
RB211-Trent 800 engines; and the Engine Certification Office (ECO),
Engine and Propeller Directorate, FAA, issued a corresponding NPRM,
Docket No. FAA-2016-6692, Directorate Identifier 2016-NE-13-AD, which
was published in the Federal Register on July 15, 2016 (81 FR 46000).
In the EASA AD and FAA ECO NPRM, damage (cracking, missing materials,
and hole/openings) to the engine upper bifurcation fairing panel
creates a breach of the engine fire wall, which may decrease the
effectiveness of the engine fire detection and suppression systems due
to excess fan air entering the engine compartment fire zone. The unsafe
condition and resulting effects
[[Page 12398]]
from EASA AD 2016-0084 and FAA ECO Directorate Identifier 2016-NE-13-AD
are the same issues presented in this FAA final rule issued by the
Transport Airplane Directorate (TAD). However EASA AD 2016-0084 and FAA
ECO Directorate Identifier 2016-NE-13-AD are specific to the engine
upper bifurcation fairing panel where the T/R upper bifurcation forward
fire seal (the subject of this TAD final rule) mates and press against.
Both sets of hardware create a complete firewall feature on the
airplane type design. EASA AD 2016-0084 and FAA ECO Directorate
Identifier 2016-NE-13-AD address the cracking and or missing material
from the engine upper bifurcation fairing panel and this TAD final rule
addresses the airplane side--the damage to the T/R upper bifurcation
forward fire seal.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.
Supportive Comments
Connor Blevins, Michael Rambo, The Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA), and a commenter identified as ``gg'' supported
the intent of the NPRM.
Request To Refer to Revised Service Information
Boeing requested that the service information specified in
paragraph (g) of the proposed AD be revised to refer to Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 777-78-0101, Revision 2, dated July 22, 2016
(``SASB 777-78-0101, R2''). Paragraph (g) of the proposed AD referred
to Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-78-0101, Revision 1,
dated October 30, 2015 (``SASB 777-78-0101, R1''). Boeing stated that
SASB 777-78-0101, R1, contained errors in figures 2 and 5 regarding
installation of the fire seal support and retainer. Boeing notified
operators of these errors through Boeing Service Bulletin Information
Notice 777-78-0101 IN 01, dated November 30, 2015 (``IN 777-78-0101 IN
01''), and released SASB 777-78-0101, R2, to incorporate the
information from IN 777-78-0101 IN 01.
We agree with the commenter's request to refer to SASB 777-78-0101,
R2, as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing
the actions required by this AD. SASB 777-78-0101, R2, clarifies the
installation instructions for the new seal support; and the adjustment
of the shim below the lower curved retainer by extending it to the
lower edge of the new seal support so that the gap under the seal
retainer is filled. This clarification instruction is similar to the
information in IN 777-78-0101 IN 01. We have revised paragraph (g) of
this AD accordingly.
Request To Provide Credit for Actions Done Using Earlier Revision of
Service Information
Boeing requested that a new paragraph be included in the proposed
AD to provide credit for actions accomplished prior to the effective
date of the proposed AD using the Accomplishment Instructions specified
in SASB 777-78-0101, R1. Boeing stated that despite the errors in SASB
777-78-0101, R1, as discussed previously, completion of the actions
specified in SASB 777-78-0101, R1, still corrects the unsafe condition
addressed in paragraph (e) of the proposed AD.
We agree with the commenter's request to provide credit for actions
done using the Accomplishment Instructions of SASB 777-78-0101, R1.
Although SASB 777-78-0101, R2, provides better clarification for the
work instructions, SASB 777-78-0101, R1, still provides sufficient
instructions to correct the unsafe condition. We have added new
paragraph (h) to this AD to provide credit for actions done using the
Accomplishment Instructions of SASB 777-78-0101, R1, and redesignated
the subsequent paragraphs accordingly.
Request for Global Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC)
American Airlines (AAL) requested that the final rule require
accomplishment of the actions specified in the Accomplishment
Instructions of SASB 777-78-0101, R1, and include a global AMOC for
operators that have incorporated the actions in both SASB 777-78-0101,
R1, and IN 777-78-0101 IN 01.
We acknowledge the commenter's request; however this AD does not
require accomplishment of the actions specified in the Accomplishment
Instructions of SASB 777-78-0101, R1. This AD requires operators to use
SASB 777-78-0101, R2, which includes clarification actions specified in
IN 777-78-0101 IN 01. As stated previously, we have also given credit
for actions done using the Accomplishment Instructions of SASB 777-78-
0101, R1; therefore an AMOC approval is not necessary. We have not
changed this AD regarding this issue.
Request To Reduce the Compliance Time
ALPA recommended that the compliance time in the proposed rule be
reduced from 60 months to 36 months. The commenter did not specifically
provide justification for this request, but we infer that they are
implying that a reduced compliance time is warranted due to the
significance of the unsafe condition.
We do not agree with the commenter's request to reduce the
compliance time. In developing an appropriate compliance time for this
action, we considered not only the degree of urgency associated with
addressing the subject unsafe condition, but the manufacturer's
recommendation for an appropriate compliance time, the time required
for the rulemaking process, the availability of required parts, and the
practical aspects of installing the required modification within an
interval of time that corresponds to the typical scheduled maintenance
for the majority of affected operators. Most ADs, including this one,
permit operators to accomplish the requirements at a time earlier than
the specified compliance time; therefore, an operator may choose to do
the installation of serviceable T/R halves on each engine prior to 60
months after the effective date of this AD. If additional data are
presented that would justify a shorter compliance time, we may consider
further rulemaking on this issue. We have not changed this AD in this
regard.
Request To Impose Penalty for Non-Compliance
One commenter, Connor Blevins, suggested that a penalty be included
in the NPRM in case an airline does not comply with the proposed
regulations. The commenter also stated that the airlines should be
given a reasonable amount of time to install the serviceable T/R halves
prior to enforcing the penalty. We infer that the commenter is
requesting the NPRM be revised to include a penalty for non-compliance.
We agree that there should be a penalty if an operator does not
comply with the requirements of an AD. The FAA expects all affected
operators to comply with ADs, which are issued to address unsafe
conditions. Failure to comply with any FAA regulation, including an AD,
might result in a civil penalty action against an operator. An AD is
not the appropriate vehicle for addressing civil penalties for non-
compliance with the requirements of an AD. Therefore, we have not
changed this AD in this regard.
[[Page 12399]]
Request To Allow Use of All Subsequent Revisions of Service Information
AAL requested that the final language of the proposed AD allow all
subsequent revisions to SASB 777-78-0101, R1, as acceptable methods of
compliance. AAL stated that it was making this request due to the high
regulatory load already in place for T/Rs on the Boeing 777 Rolls-Royce
Trent 892-powered fleet. We infer that the ``high regulatory load''
refers to the high number of ADs that have been published in response
to unsafe conditions identified on the T/R inner walls of Rolls-Royce
Trent 892 engines installed on Boeing Model 777 airplanes.
We do not agree with the commenter's request to allow the use of
all subsequent revisions to SASB 777-78-0101, R1, as acceptable methods
of compliance. We cannot allow use of ``later FAA-approved revisions''
in an AD when referring to a service document. Doing so violates Office
of the Federal Register (OFR) regulations for approval of materials
``incorporated by reference,'' as specified in 1 CFR 51.1(f). In
general terms, we are required by these OFR regulations to either
publish the service document contents as part of the actual AD
language; or submit the service document to OFR for approval as
``referenced'' material, in which case we may only refer to such
material in the text of an AD. The AD may refer to the service document
only if OFR approved it for ``incorporation by reference.'' To allow
operators to use later revisions of the referenced document (issued
after publication of the AD), either we must revise the AD to reference
specific later revisions, or operators must request approval to use
later revisions as an AMOC under the provisions of paragraph (i) of
this AD. We have not changed this AD regarding this issue.
Request To Delay Issuance of Final Rule
Cathay Pacific and Delta Air Lines (DAL) requested that issuance of
the final rule be delayed. Cathay Pacific requested that the issuance
of the final rule be delayed until the next revision to SASB 777-78-
0101, R1, is published. DAL requested that either IN 777-78-0101 IN 01
be included in the final rule, or issuance of the final rule be delayed
until the next revision to SASB 777-78-0101, R1, is considered.
Cathay Pacific pointed out that there is a technical issue when an
operator attempts to complete the actions in steps 2 and 3 of Figure 5
in SASB 777-78-0101, R1. Cathay Pacific explained that the length of
the new seal support is shorter than the retainer, which resulted in
insufficient space to drill and ream the 12 fastener holes specified in
SASB 777-78-0101, R1. Boeing was contacted and accepted alternative
actions to those specified in the service bulletin. Also, we infer from
the commenter that Boeing provided instructions to shim under the lower
curved retainer and extend it up and under the flat retainer. We infer
from the commenter that the above Boeing instructions are equivalent to
the procedures in IN 777-78-0101 IN 01. Cathay Pacific is concerned
that every time an operator tries to follow the actions specified in
SASB 777-78-0101, R1, it will have to contact Boeing for deviation
approval, and an AMOC.
DAL noted that Boeing issued IN 777-78-0101 IN 01, to provide
additional information needed to incorporate SASB 777-78-0101, R1. DAL
also mentioned that the information notice indicated that a revision to
SASB 777-78-0101, R1, was in work.
We agree with the commenters requests to delay issuing this final
rule until Boeing published a revision to SASB 777-78-0101, R1. As
discussed in the above comment, ``Request to Refer to Revised Service
Information,'' we are now requiring SASB 777-78-0101, R2, as the
appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the actions
required by this AD since it contains the clarifications described by
the commenters.
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 for correcting the unsafe condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed SASB 777-78-0101, R2. The service information describes
procedures for installing serviceable left and right T/R halves on the
left and right engines. This service information is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 55 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install serviceable T/R halves. Up to 91 work-hours x Up to $7,338..... Up to $15,073 per Up to $829,015.
$85 per hour = $7,735. airplane.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.
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
[[Page 12400]]
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.

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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):
2017-05-07 The Boeing Company Amendment 39-18817; Docket No. FAA-
2016-4225; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-139-AD.
(a) Effective Date
This AD is effective April 7, 2017.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300
series airplanes, certificated in any category, equipped with Rolls-
Royce Model Trent 800 engines.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 78, Engine
Exhaust.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by reports of damage to the upper
bifurcation forward fire seal and seal deflector, and localized
damage to the insulation blanket installed just aft of the fire
seal. We are issuing this AD to prevent a breach in the engine
firewall due to a failed upper bifurcation forward fire seal. A
breach could delay or prevent the fire detection and suppression
system from functioning properly, and could result in an increased
risk of a fire, prolonged burning, and breach of the fire zone; and
could allow fire to reach unprotected areas of the engine, the
strut, and wing after engine shutdown. Also, fan air bypassing the
fire seal could cause localized damage to the thrust reverser (T/R)
insulation blanket installed just aft of the fire seal, which could
allow limited thermal degradation of the T/R inner wall. This could
aggravate existing damage and cause the T/R's inner wall to fail.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Installation of Serviceable T/R Halves on Each Engine
Within 60 months after the effective date of this AD: Install
serviceable left and right T/R halves on the left and right engines,
in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 777-78-0101, Revision 2, dated July 22,
2016 (``SASB 777-78-0101, R2''). A serviceable T/R half is defined
in the Accomplishment Instructions of SASB 777-78-0101, R2.
(h) Credit for Previous Action
This paragraph provides credit for the action required by
paragraph (g) of this AD if it was accomplished before the effective
date of this AD using Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-
78-0101, Revision 1, dated October 30, 2015.
(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)
(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested
using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14
CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local
Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#41786c000f0c6c12242035352d246c00020e6c000c0e026c1324303424323532012720206f262e37"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="192034585754344a7c786d6d757c34585a56345854565a344b7c686c7c6a6d6a597f7878377e766f">[email protected]</span></a>.
(2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Seattle ACO, to make those findings. To be approved, the
repair method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation must
meet the certification basis of the airplane and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
(4) For service information that contains steps that are labeled
as Required for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs
(i)(4)(i) and (i)(4)(ii) apply.
(i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or sub-step is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then
the RC requirement is removed from that step or sub-step. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
(ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.
