Federal Register Abstract
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-03-04, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 737-500 series airplanes. AD 2017-03-04 required inspections to detect cracks in the fuselage skin panels, permanent repairs of time-limited repairs, skin panel replacement, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD reduces the applicability of AD 2017-03-04. This AD was prompted by a determination that airplanes were inadvertently included in the applicability of AD 2017-03-04. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On January 31, 2017, we issued AD 2017-03-04, Amendment 39-18795
(82 FR 11140, February 21, 2017) (``AD 2017-03-04''), for all The
Boeing Company Model 737-500 series airplanes. AD 2017-03-04 required
inspections to detect cracks in the fuselage skin panels, permanent
repairs of time-limited repairs, skin panel replacement, and related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2017-03-04
resulted from an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) that
indicates the fuselage skin is subject to widespread fatigue damage
(WFD), and reports of cracks at the chem-milled steps in the fuselage
skin. We issued AD 2017-03-04 to detect and correct cracking on the aft
lower lobe fuselage skins, which could result in rapid decompression of
the airplane.
Actions Since AD 2017-03-04 Was Issued
Since we issued AD 2017-03-04, we determined that airplanes were
inadvertently included in the applicability of AD 2017-03-04. AD 2017-
03-04 superseded AD 2012-16-07, Amendment 39-17154 (77 FR 48423, August
14, 2012) (``AD 2012-16-07''), which applied to certain The Boeing
Company Model 737-500 series airplanes. The identified unsafe condition
only applies to the airplanes identified in AD 2012-16-07 and,
therefore, the applicability of AD 2017-03-04 should not have included
additional airplanes.
The affected airplanes are identified in Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 737-53-1315, Revision 1, dated June 30, 2015 (which is
referred to as the appropriate source of service information for
accomplishing the actions required by AD 2017-03-04). In order to
correct the applicability, we have referred to Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 737-53-1315, Revision 1, dated June 30, 2015, in
paragraph (c)(1) of this AD. We are issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1315,
Revision 1, dated June 30, 2015. The service information describes
procedures for inspections to detect cracks in the fuselage skin
panels, permanent repairs of time-limited repairs, skin panel
replacement, and related investigative and corrective actions. 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.
FAA's Determination
We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
AD Requirements
This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in the service
information described previously, except as discussed under
``Differences Between this AD and the Service Information.'' This AD
also reduces the applicability of AD 2017-03-04. For information on the
procedures and compliance times, see this service information at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a> by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-
0129.
The phrase ``related investigative actions'' is used in this AD.
Related investigative actions are follow-on actions that (1) are
related to the primary action, and (2) further investigate the nature
of any condition found. Related investigative actions in an AD could
include, for example, inspections.
The phrase ``corrective actions'' is used in this AD. Corrective
actions correct or address any condition found. Corrective actions in
an AD could include, for example, repairs.
Differences Between This AD and the Service Information
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1315, Revision 1,
dated June 30, 2015, specifies to contact the manufacturer for
instructions on how to repair certain conditions and also to obtain
certain work instructions, but this AD requires repairing those
conditions and also to obtain those work instructions in one of the
following ways:
<bullet> In accordance with a method that we approve; or
<bullet> Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.
[[Page 14431]]
FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date
We determined that airplanes were inadvertently included in the
applicability of AD 2017-03-04, which applies to all Model 737-500
series airplanes. However, only airplanes identified in Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1315, Revision 1, dated June 30,
2015, are affected by the identified unsafe condition. The actions
required by this AD are not required to be done on airplanes that are
not identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-
1315, Revision 1, dated June 30, 2015. Therefore, we are superseding AD
2017-03-04 to correct the applicability. We find that notice and
opportunity for prior public comment are unnecessary and that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.
Comments Invited
This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number FAA-2017-0129 and
Directorate Identifier 2017-NM-020-AD at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this
AD because of those comments.
We will post all comments we receive, without change, to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 33 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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspections (actions retained Up to 1,538 work- $0 Up to $130,730 per Up to $4,314,090
from AD 2017-03-04). hours x $85 per inspection cycle. per inspection
hour = $130,730 cycle.
per inspection
cycle.
Skin panel replacement (action 688 work-hours x 96,000 $154,480........... $5,097,840.
retained from AD 2017-03-04). $85 per hour =
$58,480.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs 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
repairs:
On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time-limited repair............... 24 work-hours x $85 \(1)\ $2,040.
per hour = $2,040.
Permanent repair.................. 31 work-hours x $85 \(1)\ $2,635.
per hour = $2,635.
Permanent repair inspection....... 4 work-hours x $85 \(1)\ $340 per inspection cycle.
per hour = $340 per
inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide parts 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
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

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.
[[Page 14432]]
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2017-03-04, Amendment 39-18795 (82 FR 11140, February 21, 2017), and
adding the following new AD:
2017-06-01 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-18825; Docket No. FAA-
2017-0129; Directorate Identifier 2017-NM-020-AD.
(a) Effective Date
This AD is effective April 5, 2017.
(b) Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2017-03-04, Amendment 39-18795 (82 FR 11140,
February 21, 2017) (``AD 2017-03-04'').
(c) Applicability
(1) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-500 series
airplanes, certificated in any category; as identified in Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1315, Revision 1, dated
June 30, 2015 (``SASB 737-53-1315 R1'').
(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. 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.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53, Fuselage.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval
holder (DAH) that indicates the fuselage skin is subject to
widespread fatigue damage (WFD), and reports of cracks at the chem-
milled steps in the fuselage skin. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct cracking on the aft lower lobe fuselage skins, which
could result in rapid decompression of the airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Retained Inspections, Related Investigative and Corrective Actions,
With No Changes
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD
2017-03-04, with no changes. At the applicable times specified in
table 1 of paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of SASB 737-53-1315 R1,
except as required by paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) of this AD: Do
the applicable inspections to detect cracks in the fuselage skin
panels; and do all applicable related investigative and corrective
actions; in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of SASB
737-53-1315 R1, except as required by paragraphs (h)(3) and (h)(4)
of this AD. Do all applicable related investigative and corrective
actions before further flight. Repeat the applicable inspections
thereafter at the applicable intervals specified in SASB 737-53-1315
R1. Accomplishment of a repair in accordance with ``Part 3: Repair''
of the Accomplishment Instructions of SASB 737-53-1315 R1, except as
required by paragraph (h)(3) of this AD, is terminating action for
the repetitive inspections required by this paragraph at the
repaired locations only.
(h) Retained Exceptions to SASB 737-53-1315 R1, With No Changes
This paragraph restates the service information exceptions
specified in paragraph (h) of AD 2017-03-04, with no changes.
(1) Where SASB 737-53-1315 R1, specifies compliance times
``after the Revision 1 date of this service bulletin,'' this AD
requires compliance within the specified compliance times ``after
March 28, 2017 (the effective date of AD 2017-03-04).''
(2) The Condition column of table 1 of Paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of SASB 737-53-1315 R1, refers to airplanes in
certain configurations ``as of the issue date of Revision 1 of this
service bulletin.'' However, this AD applies to airplanes in the
specified configurations ``as of March 28, 2017 (the effective date
of AD 2017-03-04).''
(3) Where SASB 737-53-1315 R1, specifies contacting Boeing for
repair instructions or work instructions, before further flight,
repair or perform the work instructions using a method approved in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (m) of this
AD, except as required by paragraph (h)(4) of this AD.
(4) For airplanes on which an operator has a record that a skin
panel was replaced with a production skin panel before 53,000 total
flight cycles: At the applicable time for the next inspection, as
specified in table 1 of paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of SASB 737-
53-1315 R1, except as provided by paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(2) of
this AD: Perform inspections and applicable corrective actions using
a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (m) of this AD.
(5) The Condition column of table 2 of Paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of SASB 737-53-1315 R1 refers to airplanes in
certain configurations as of the ``issue date of Revision 1 of this
service bulletin.'' However, this AD applies to airplanes in the
specified configurations regardless of when the time-limited repair
is installed.
(i) Retained Actions for Airplanes With a Time-Limited Repair
Installed, With No Changes
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (i) of AD
2017-03-04, with no changes. For airplanes with a time-limited
repair installed as specified in Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 737-53-1315, dated July 29, 2011; or SASB 737-53-1315 R1:
At the applicable times specified in table 2 of paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of SASB 737-53-1315 R1, except as provided by
paragraphs (h)(1) and (h)(5) of this AD, do the actions specified in
paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this AD.
(1) Do the applicable inspections to detect missing or loose
fasteners and any disbonding or cracking of bonded doublers; and do
all applicable related investigative and corrective actions; in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of SASB 737-53-1315
R1, except as required by paragraph (h)(3) of this AD. Do all
applicable related investigative and corrective actions before
further flight. Repeat the applicable inspections thereafter at the
applicable intervals specified in SASB 737-53-1315 R1.
(2) Make the time-limited repair permanent and do all applicable
related investigative and corrective actions in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of SASB 737-53-1315 R1, except as
required by paragraph (h)(3) of this AD. Do all applicable related
investigative and corrective actions before further flight.
Accomplishing the permanent repair required by this paragraph
terminates the inspections required by paragraph (i)(1) of this AD
for the permanently repaired area only.
(j) Retained AD Provisions for Part 26 Supplemental Inspections, With
No Changes
This paragraph restates the provisions specified in paragraph
(j) of AD 2017-03-04, with no changes. Table 3 of paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of SASB 737-53-1315 R1, specifies post-modification
airworthiness limitation inspections in compliance with 14 CFR
25.571(a)(3) at the modified locations, which support compliance
with 14 CFR 121.1109(c)(2) or 129.109(b)(2). As airworthiness
limitations, these inspections are required by maintenance and
operational rules. It is therefore unnecessary to mandate them in
this AD. Deviations from these inspections require FAA approval, but
do not require an alternative method of compliance.
(k) Retained Skin Panel Replacement, With No Changes
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (k) of AD
2017-03-04, with no changes. At the later of the times specified in
paragraphs (k)(1) and (k)(2) of this AD: Replace the applicable skin
panels, and do all applicable related investigative and corrective
actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of SASB
737-53-1315 R1. Do all applicable related investigative and
corrective actions before further flight. Doing the skin panel
replacement required by this paragraph terminates the inspection
requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD for that skin panel only,
provided the skin panel replacement was done with a production skin
panel at or after 53,000 total flight cycles.
(1) Before 60,000 total flight cycles, but not before 53,000
total flight cycles.
(2) Within 6,000 flight cycles after March 28, 2017 (the
effective date of AD 2017-03-04), but not before 53,000 total flight
cycles.
(l) Retained Credit for Previous Actions, With No Changes
This paragraph restates the credit specified in paragraph (l) of
AD 2017-03-04, with no changes. This paragraph provides credit for
the zone 1 actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD, as
described in SASB 737-53-1315 R1, if the zone 1, 2, and 3 actions,
as described in Boeing Special Attention
[[Page 14433]]
Service Bulletin 737-53-1315, dated July 29, 2011, were performed
before March 28, 2017 (the effective date of AD 2017-03-04) using
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1315, dated July
29, 2011, except as required by paragraph (h)(4) of this AD. Boeing
Special Attention Bulletin 737-53-1315, dated July 29, 2011, was
incorporated by reference in AD 2012-16-07.
(m) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)
(1) The Manager, Los Angeles 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 (n) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e4ddc9a5aaa9c9a8a5a5a7abc9a5a9aba7c9b681959181979097a4828585ca838b92"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="271e0a66696a0a6b666664680a666a68640a75425652425453546741464609404851">[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, Los Angeles 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) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2012-16-07 are approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of paragraph (g) of this AD.
