Federal Register Abstract
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-25-06, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-200, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. AD 2010-25-06 required repetitive inspections for cracking of certain fuselage frames and stub beams, and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2010-25-06 also provided for an optional repair, which terminated the repetitive inspections. For airplanes on which a certain repair was done, AD 2010-25-06 also required repetitive inspections for cracking of certain fuselage frames and stub beams, and corrective actions if necessary. This AD retains the actions required by AD 2010-25-06 and expands the inspection area. This AD was prompted by additional cracking found in areas not covered by the inspections in AD 2010-25-06. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-25-06,
which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-200, -300, -400,
and -500 series airplanes. AD 2010-25-06 required repetitive
inspections for cracking of certain fuselage frames and stub beams, and
corrective actions if necessary. AD 2010-25-06 also provided for an
optional repair, which terminated the repetitive inspections. For
airplanes on which a certain repair was done, AD 2010-25-06 also
required repetitive inspections for cracking of certain fuselage frames
and stub beams, and corrective actions if necessary. This AD retains
the actions required by AD 2010-25-06 and expands the inspection area.
This AD was prompted by additional cracking found in areas not covered
by the inspections in AD 2010-25-06. We are issuing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective October 31, 2018.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2010-25-06, Amendment 39-16539 (75 FR 81409,
December 28, 2010) (``AD 2010-25-06''). AD 2010-25-06 applied to
certain Model 737-200, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on May 15, 2018 (83 FR 22422). The
NPRM was prompted by additional cracking found in areas not covered by
the inspections in AD 2010-25-06. The NPRM proposed to retain the
actions required by AD 2010-25-06 and expand the inspection area. We
are issuing this AD
[[Page 48528]]
to address fatigue cracking of certain fuselage frames and stub beams
and possible severed frames, which could result in reduced structural
integrity of the frames. This reduced structural integrity can increase
loading in the fuselage skin, which will accelerate skin crack growth
and could result in rapid decompression of the fuselage.
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.
Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions
Aviation Partners Boeing stated that accomplishing the supplemental
type certificate (STC) ST01219SE does not affect the actions specified
in the NPRM.
We agree with the commenter. We have redesignated paragraph (c) of
the proposed AD as paragraph (c)(1) of this AD and added paragraph
(c)(2) to this AD to state that installation of STC ST01219SE 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 Compliance Language
Boeing asked that the compliance language in paragraphs (g), (h),
(i), (j) and (k) of the proposed AD be changed since there are multiple
conditions and compliance times specified in paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance'' of the referenced service information. Boeing asked that
the wording in these paragraphs be changed from ``at the applicable
time'' specified in tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9, respectively, to ``at
the applicable condition and time'' specified in tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
and 9, respectively. Boeing stated that these changes would provide
clarification.
Although we do not agree to revise this AD as requested by the
commenter, we agree to clarify the compliance language. The phrase ``at
the applicable time'' means the compliance time associated with a given
condition, as specified in the applicable table in paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1254, Revision
3, dated November 13, 2017. We have not changed this AD in this regard.
Addition of Omitted Word
We inadvertently omitted the word ``in'' prior to the word
``table'' in the phrase ``. . . the applicable time specified table . .
.'' in certain sentences in paragraphs (g), (h), (i), and (j) of the
proposed AD. We have revised the applicable sentences in paragraphs
(g), (h), (i), and (j) of this AD to read ``. . . the applicable time
specified in table. . . .''
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 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 AD.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1254, Revision 3,
dated November 13, 2017. This service information describes procedures
for detailed and eddy current inspections of the fuselage frame and
over wing stub beam at body station (BS) 616, BS 639, and BS 597 or BS
601, and buttock line (BL) 45.5 floor beam web at the BS 639 stub beam
attachment, 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.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 67 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do certain necessary repairs/
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
inspections. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that
might need these repairs/replacements:

* All required parts are supplied by the operator. This cost is minimal, and we have no way to determine what an
operator would pay for these parts.
** We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide cost estimates for certain other repairs
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.
[[Page 48529]]
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
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

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)
2010-25-06, Amendment 39-16539 (75 FR 81409, December 28, 2010), and
adding the following new AD:
2018-19-20 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-19420; Docket No. FAA-
2018-0412; Product Identifier 2017-NM-180-AD.
(a) Effective Date
This AD is effective October 31, 2018.
(b) Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2010-25-06, Amendment 39-16539 (75 FR 81409,
December 28, 2010) (``AD 2010-25-06'').
(c) Applicability
(1) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-200, -300, -
400, and -500 series airplanes, certificated in any category, as
identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1254, Revision 3,
dated November 13, 2017.
(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 the detection of fatigue cracks at
certain frame sections, in addition to stub beam cracking, caused by
high flight cycle stresses from both pressurization and maneuver
loads and additional cracking found in areas not covered by the
inspections in AD 2010-25-06. We are issuing this AD to address
fatigue cracking of certain fuselage frames and stub beams and
possible severed frames, which could result in reduced structural
integrity of the frames. This reduced structural integrity can
increase loading in the fuselage skin, which will accelerate skin
crack growth and could result in rapid decompression of the
fuselage.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Repetitive Inspections of Body Stations 616 and 639 Frames and Stub
Beams and Corrective Actions
