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 certain The Boeing Company
Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2017 (82 FR 32507). The
NPRM was prompted by reports of corrosion in the aft fuselage. The NPRM
proposed to require a one-time review of the operator's maintenance
procedures, repetitive detailed internal and external inspections for
corrosion or cracking, and applicable on-condition actions. The NPRM
also included an optional terminating action for the inspections.
We are issuing this AD to detect and correct untreated vacuum waste
system spills or leaks, which could cause corrosion of the airplane
structure, which could lead to fatigue cracks, and could ultimately
result in rapid decompression and loss of structural integrity.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents the comments received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.
Support for the NPRM
Boeing expressed its support for the NPRM.
Request To Extend the Inspection Compliance Time
Cathay Pacific expressed concern that it would not be able to
demonstrate that it has performed an acceptable records review, which
is required to demonstrate that all prior vacuum waste system spills or
leaks were cleaned and neutralized using the acceptable procedure.
Cathay Pacific noted that some airplanes in its fleet have been in
service for more than 20 years, so an older record could easily be
missed when doing this review. Cathay Pacific stated that because of
this concern, it has opted to treat all airplanes as having inadequate
records and perform inspections on them. Cathay Pacific stated that the
applicable inspection compliance times do not allow waiting for the
next scheduled maintenance check, leading to additional downtime.
We infer that Cathay Pacific is requesting that we extend the
compliance time for the initial and repetitive inspections. We disagree
with the commenter's request. We have determined that the compliance
times specified in this AD are necessary to address the identified
unsafe condition. However, under the provisions of paragraph (j) of
this AD, we will consider requests for approval of an alternative
method of compliance (AMOC), including extension of the compliance
times, if sufficient data is submitted to substantiate that a different
compliance time will provide an acceptable level of safety. We have not
changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Extend the Compliance Times for Certain Airplanes
United Airlines (UAL) and Air France (AF) requested that we revise
the compliance times for airplanes on which certain inspections have
been done. UAL requested that the compliance time be extended for
airplanes on which corrosion prevention and control program (CPCP)
inspections have already been done. UAL noted that many operators have
proven corrosion control programs that do not have corrosion findings
greater than CPCP level 1, which mitigates the corrosion risk factor.
UAL suggested that the initial inspection compliance time be extended
for airplanes on which maintenance records show that no corrosion
findings greater than CPCP level 1 have occurred in the inspection area
in the 10 years prior to the effective date of the AD.
AF requested that the compliance times be extended for airplanes on
which maintenance planning document (MPD) inspections have been done.
AF noted that existing MPD items require general visual inspections of
certain areas below the aft and bulk cargo compartment floor panels. AF
stated that because the majority of its fleet has already been
inspected under the MPD items, the compliance times in the NPRM are too
restrictive. AF noted that the initial compliance times cannot be
accommodated into its 777 C or heavy checks interval. AF suggested
compliance times based on the number of days since the date of issuance
of the original airworthiness certificate or date of issuance of the
original export certificate of airworthiness instead of days after the
effective date of the AD as specified in the proposed AD.
We disagree with the commenters' requests to extend the compliance
times. The CPCP has three different levels of corrosion damage, as
defined within the MPD, based on the severity and frequency of
corrosion findings and requires operators to adjust their individual
programs to limit corrosion findings to level 1 if they have level 2 or
higher findings. However, operators have reported finding recurring
corrosion damage in-between scheduled CPCP or MPD inspections that was
due to untreated vacuum waste system residue. Additionally, we have
reviewed the existing MPD inspections and have determined that the MPD
inspections do not repeat at adequate intervals to address the unsafe
condition. The determinations of the unsafe condition, mitigating
actions, and compliance times were coordinated with the manufacturer.
Under the provisions of paragraph (j) of this AD, we will consider
requests for approval of AMOCs, including extensions of the compliance
times, if sufficient data, such as an operator's individual CPCP and
practices for treating vacuum waste system residue, is submitted to
substantiate that a different compliance time will provide an
acceptable level of safety. We have not changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Allow the Use of a Different Sodium Bicarbonate Compound
Japan Airlines (JAL) and AF requested that we revise the NPRM to
allow the use of a different sodium bicarbonate compound than the ASTM
D928 specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0083, dated
April 20, 2017. JAL noted it had difficulty finding the specified
sodium bicarbonate compound, but could find an equivalent product. AF
noted that is has a corresponding product.
We partially agree with the commenters' request. We agree that an
equivalent sodium bicarbonate compound is acceptable. Boeing has issued
Boeing Information Notice 777-53A0083 IN 01, dated September 1, 2017,
to clarify that a commercially available sodium bicarbonate compound is
acceptable for compliance. However, we do not agree to revise this AD
because it does not require the use of ASTM D928 sodium bicarbonate
compound. As indicated in the Accomplishment Instructions and Figure 2
of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0083, dated April 20, 2017,
sodium bicarbonate must be used, but a specific compound type is not
identified.
[[Page 5687]]
Request To Define a Neutral pH
American Airlines (AAL) requested that we revise the NPRM to define
a neutral pH as one that has a value between 6.5 and 8.5, to account
for natural variations in tap water. AAL stated that the NPRM does not
define a tolerance from the common definition of neutral pH, which is a
pH of 7.
We disagree with the commenter's request. Paragraph 3.A., General
Information, Note 19, of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0083,
dated April 20, 2017, defines neutralization as making the vacuum waste
system spill or leak contents non-acidic or non-corrosive. No specific
pH value is defined in the service information or required by this AD.
Therefore, operators can include tolerances for a neutral pH. One way
for operators to account for pH variances of their local clean water
supply is to measure the pH level of their clean water supply in order
to establish a baseline pH level, that can then be used to compare
against samples taken from the fuselage structure. We have not changed
this AD in this regard.
Request To Define a Standard Litmus Paper
AAL and Cathay Pacific requested that we revise the NPRM to define
a standard part number for the litmus paper to use in determining if
the acid is neutralized. AAL noted that the NPRM does not specify a
resolution or range for the litmus paper. Cathay Pacific claimed that
because Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0083, dated April 20,
2017, does not list a specific litmus paper, the instruction to ``use
litmus paper'' is ambiguous and operators would not be able to
determine if an acceptable litmus paper is used.
We disagree with the commenters' request. Litmus paper is a
commonly available tool. Accomplishing the cleaning and neutralization
steps in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0083, dated April 20,
2017, does not specify the use of a specific brand or type of litmus
paper. We have not changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Define the Location and Quantity of Litmus Paper Testing
Points
AAL and Cathay Pacific requested that we revise the NPRM to define
the locations where litmus paper testing must be done, as well as the
number of samples that must be taken. AAL pointed out that the
structural features that must be chemically neutralized are specified
in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0083, dated April 20, 2017,
while the litmus paper testing spots are not. Cathay Pacific suggested
that Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0083, dated April 20, 2017,
implies that operators should do litmus paper testing on all the
structural features in the inspection and neutralization area, but
stated it does not believe this is the intent.
We agree to provide clarification on the number and location of
litmus paper testing spots and confirm that paragraph (i) of this AD
does not require testing with litmus paper at all structural features
in the neutralization area. However, we do not agree that it is
necessary to provide a specific number of samples or testing locations.
The objective of the litmus paper testing is to verify that there are
no remaining acidic or corrosive substances on the structure. The
appropriate level of testing may vary between airplanes depending on
factors such as maintenance records, previous spills or leaks, or
repairs that obstruct access. Samples should be tested at enough
locations within the affected area of the structure for the operator to
determine that there are no residual acidic or corrosive contents on
primary structural elements in the inspection area, including any
locations where the sodium bicarbonate solution visibly reacted when
applied, which indicates the presence of acidic or corrosive
substances, and any locations where there are signs of corrosion
damage. We have not changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Allow the Use of Alternative Corrosion Inhibiting Compounds
AAL requested that we allow the use of alternative corrosion
inhibiting compounds (which are applied to the cleaned and neutralized
areas as part of the required restoration) as specified in Boeing
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) Task 51-05-01-210-803. AAL noted that
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0083, dated April 20, 2017,
specifies BMS3-29 compound and does not allow the use of alternative
compounds.
We agree with the commenter's request. Boeing AMM Task 51-05-01-
210-803 specifies the application of a single coat of water displacing/
anti-corrosion compound BMS3-29 or BMS3-35 at a minimum, with an option
to layer different compounds in areas with high potential for severe
corrosion. We have added paragraph (h)(3) of this AD to specify
acceptable alternative corrosion inhibiting compounds.
Request To Update the Costs of Compliance
Cathay Pacific requested that we update the work-hours estimate for
cleaning and neutralization in the NPRM. Cathay Pacific stated that the
area to be neutralized covers 13 frames and 15 stringers, so it will
require more work-hours to complete this task.
We disagree with the commenter's request. The work-hours estimate
is determined by Boeing and provided for informational and planning
purposes only. In addition, Cathay Pacific did not provide any
alternative estimates for the work-hours. We have not changed this AD
in this regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule 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 final
rule.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0083, dated April
20, 2017. The service information describes procedures for a one-time
review of the operator's maintenance procedures, repetitive detailed
internal and external inspections for corrosion or cracking, cleaning
and neutralization of the internal inspection area (an optional
terminating action), and applicable on-condition 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.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 161 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The cost to review an operator's maintenance procedures varies
depending on the operator's recordkeeping system and fleet size so we
did not include a specific estimate for that action. We estimate the
following costs to comply with the remaining actions of 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.
This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.
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.

(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 Branch, 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) Except as required by paragraphs (h)(2) and (h)(3) of this
AD: For service information that contains steps that are labeled as
Required for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs (j)(4)(i)
and (j)(4)(ii) of this AD 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 substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. 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.
