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 767-300 and -300F series airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on February 9, 2018 (83 FR 5738). The NPRM was
prompted by reports of fatigue cracking in the lower outboard wing skin
at the farthest outboard fastener of the inboard segment of stringer L-
9.5 on airplanes with winglets installed per Supplemental Type
Certificate ST01920SE. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive high
frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections for cracking of the lower
outboard wing skin at the inboard segment of a certain stringer, and
repair if necessary. We are issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking
in the lower outboard wing skin, which could result in failure and
subsequent separation of the wing and winglet and consequent reduced
controllability of the airplane.
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. Aviation Partners Boeing
(APB) concurred with the NPRM.
Request To Provide Credit for Previously Approved Repairs
All Nippon Airways (ANA) and American Airlines (AAL) asked that
credit be given for repair deviations approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) using 8100-9
forms dated after June 15, 2017. ANA stated that Boeing ODAs will be
using APB analysis methodology to evaluate and approve the repairs. ANA
and AAL stated that Boeing indicated in Multi-Operator Message MOM-MOM-
17-0480-01B, dated August 29, 2017, that repairs approved after June
15, 2017, would be acceptable as alternative methods of compliance
(AMOCs) to the final rule if using the referenced service information.
Both commenters asked that credit language for those previously
approved repairs be added to the content of the proposed AD.
We agree with the commenters' requests for the reasons provided.
The revised APB analysis methodology was approved by the FAA on June
15, 2017. Therefore, we have added paragraph (i)(2) to this AD to
include that approval.
Request To Allow Alternative Oversize Fastener Holes
AAL asked that we allow oversize fasteners of at least 1/64 inch to
be installed at all fastener locations common to inboard stringer L-
9.5. AAL stated that the referenced service information and the APB
modification drawing are very restrictive regarding oversize fasteners
that are outside of the five critical fasteners at each end of inboard
stringer L-9.5. AAL added that hole damage during fastener removal at
the existing stringer L-9.5 is common.
We do not agree with the commenter's request. This type of
deviation would require an engineering evaluation to assess inboard
stringer L-9.5 and the skin fastener locations to determine if it is
feasible for the oversize fasteners to be installed. However, under the
provisions of paragraph (j) of this AD, we will consider requests for
approval of an AMOC, if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate
that installing 1/64-inch oversize fasteners at all fastener locations
common to inboard stringer L-9.5 will provide an acceptable level of
safety. We have not changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Add Alternative Alodine Type
Delta Air Lines (Delta) asked that we add a new paragraph to the
proposed AD specifying that Alodine coating ``Bonderite M-CR 600 Aero''
is an acceptable alternative to ``Alodine 600'' coating. Delta stated
that APB Service Bulletin AP767-57-013, Revision 1, dated April 11,
2017, calls out Alodine 600 in paragraph 2.B.2, ``Parts and Materials
Supplied by the Operator,'' and in Drawing 767-9420, Sheet 1, in
paragraph 3.B, Part 2, Steps 4 and 5, as an ``RC'' (Required for
Compliance) step. Delta noted that the name of the Alodine coating
``Alodine 600'' has been changed to ``Bonderite M-CR 600 Aero.'' Delta
added that the FAA issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin
(SAIB) that cited an AMOC for the use of Bonderite products.
We agree with the commenter's request, for the reason provided.
Alodine products made by Henkel manufacturing have been renamed to
Bonderite. We issued SAIB HQ-18-09, dated February 5, 2018, which cited
the AMOC that allows the use of Henkel Bonderite products as an
alternative to Henkel Alodine products. We have revised paragraphs
(g)(1)(ii)(A) and (g)(2)(i) of this AD to allow the use of Bonderite M-
CR 600 Aero and Bonderite M-CR 600 RTU Aero as an alternative coating.
Requests To Clarify Compliance Time Definition
United Airlines (UAL) and Delta asked that we clarify the
``Compliance Times'' definition specified in the preamble of the NPRM.
The commenters stated that the initial compliance time is defined as
1,500 flight cycles or 7,500 flight cycles after winglet installation,
but it should be 1,500 flight cycles or 7,500 flight hours after
winglet installation. The commenters noted that this should be
corrected to be consistent with the compliance time specified in the
referenced service information.
We agree with the commenters that the compliance time definition in
the NPRM is inaccurate, and should specify ``The initial compliance
time is the later of: 1,500 flight cycles or 7,500 flight hours after
winglet installation, whichever occurs first.'' This language provided
notice regarding compliance times that were specified in the referenced
service information. The compliance time is correct in the referenced
service information and does not conflict with this AD. Since that
section of the preamble does not reappear in the final rule, no change
to this AD is necessary.
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
[[Page 33819]]
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 addressing 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 APB Service Bulletin AP767-57-013, Revision 1, dated
April 11, 2017. The service information describes procedures for an
HFEC inspection for cracking of the lower outboard wing skin at the
inboard segment of stringer L-9.5, and on-condition actions that
include repetitive HFEC inspections, a preventive modification (repair)
that includes installing new stringers, repetitive post-modification
(repair) HFEC inspections for cracking, and repair. 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 140 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
Estimated Costs--Required Actions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HFEC Inspections..................... 1 work-hour x $85 per $0 $85, per inspection $11,900, per inspection cycle.

Estimated Costs--On-Condition Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preventive Modification (Repair).... 50 work-hours x $85 $0 $4,250.
per hour = $4,250.
Post-modification (repair) 1 work-hour x $85 per 0 $85, per inspection cycle.
Inspections. hour = $85, per
inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for on-condition repairs that might be necessary as a
result of the post-modification (repair) inspections specified in this
AD.
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 available 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 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 and
associated appliances 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.

(4) Except as required by paragraph (g)(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
[[Page 33821]]
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.
