SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all The Boeing Company
Model 757 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on June
28, 2019 (84 FR 30958). The NPRM was prompted by a report that during a
maintenance check an operator discovered cracking of the aft cargo
compartment frames in the station 1460 frame web and inner chord
between stringers S-26 and S-27 near an existing repair. The NPRM
proposed to require an inspection of the fuselage frames for any
existing repair, repetitive surface HFEC inspections of the fuselage
frames with a cargo liner support channel for any cracking, and
applicable on-condition actions.
The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all The
Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes. The SNPRM published in the Federal
Register on December 2, 2019 (84 FR 65931). The FAA issued the SNPRM to
reduce the compliance time for certain airplane configurations.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracking at the frame web and
inner chord; such cracks could propagate until they cause a severed
frame, which could result in additional undetected cracking in adjacent
fuselage frames, and could ultimately result in reduced structural
integrity of the aft cargo frames and consequent rapid decompression of
the airplane.
Comments
The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comments
received on the SNPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.
Support for the SNPRM
Boeing and United Airlines concurred with the SNPRM. FedEx stated
they had no objection to the SNPRM.
Request To Utilize Actions for a Certain Airplane Group and a
Compliance Time for Another Airplane Group
VT Mobile Aerospace Engineering Inc. (VT MAE Inc.) requested to
utilize inspections and methods for Group 7 airplanes, and utilize the
compliance times for Groups 3 and 5 airplanes, which would reduce the
repetitive inspection interval from 6,000 flight cycles to 4,000 flight
cycles. VT MAE Inc. stated that its Model 757-200 airplanes were
converted to freighter configuration per VT MAE Inc. supplemental type
certificate (STC) ST04242AT (15 pallet configuration) and VT MAE Inc.
STC ST03952AT (combi configuration/14 pallet configuration), and are no
longer configured as a passenger airplanes. VT MAE Inc. also stated
that Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated February
22, 2019, shows that its converted Model 757-200 freighter fleet falls
under Group 7 airplanes. VT MAE Inc. provided no justification for
using compliance times for different airplane groups.
The FAA agrees to provide additional clarification. The FAA issued
the SNPRM to add an airplane configuration to the NPRM that addressed
FedEx's fleet of 119 airplanes (approximately 22% of the affected U.S.
fleet) that were converted from a passenger configuration to a
freighter configuration using VT MAE Inc. STC ST03562AT. It was
determined that these airplanes are subjected to the same fatigue loads
as Groups 3 and 5 airplanes, as specified in Boeing Alert Requirements
Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated February 22, 2019. Therefore, paragraph
(g)(2) of this AD was added in the SNPRM to address the required
actions and compliance times for this added airplane configuration.
The FAA agrees with VT MAE Inc.'s comments that airplanes modified
using VT MAE Inc. STC ST04242AT and VT MAE Inc. STC ST03952AT are no
longer configured as passenger airplanes. However, the FAA disagrees
with the request to include additional exceptions in this AD that are
specific to certain airplanes converted by VT MAE Inc. There are many
different airplane configurations across multiple operators, and ADs
cannot accommodate all possible configurations.
The FAA has already delayed this AD to address one configuration.
To reduce the compliance time of the proposed AD for airplanes modified
using VT MAE Inc. STCs ST04242AT and ST003952AT would necessitate
(under the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act) reissuing
the notice, reopening the period for public comment, considering
additional comments subsequently received, and eventually issuing a
final rule. That procedure could add unwarranted time to the rulemaking
process. To delay this AD again would be inappropriate, since the FAA
has determined that an unsafe condition exists and that inspections
must be conducted to ensure continued safety. However, if additional
data are presented that would justify a shorter compliance time for
these airplanes, the FAA may consider further rulemaking on this issue.
Under the provisions of paragraph (i) of this AD, the FAA will consider
requests for approval of alternative actions and compliance times if
sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the change would
provide an acceptable level of safety. The FAA has not changed this AD
in this regard.
[[Page 17485]]
Request To Revise the Language in Note (a) of the Service Information
DAL requested that the language in Note (a) of paragraph ``3.
Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB,
dated February 22, 2019, be revised from ``meets the following
criteria'' to ``meets one of the following criteria,'' and to also add
``757-200 SRM [Structural Repair Manual] 53-00-07 Repair 5'' to the
criteria. DAL stated that it interprets the note to mean either
criterion 1 or criterion 2 provides relief from performing the subject
inspections and that the statement only takes into consideration that a
repair may be approved using FAA Form 8100-9. DAL commented that ``757-
200 SRM 53-00-07 Repair 5'' is also an FAA-approved repair for aft
cargo compartment lower frames. DAL commented that the Boeing 757 SRM
and any repair approved by The Boeing Organization Designation
Authorization (ODA) using FAA Form 8100-9 are both FAA-approved and
have damage tolerance analyses.
The FAA disagrees with the comment. Note (a) in Boeing Alert
Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated February 22, 2019, is
intended to address repairs that were designed as corrective actions to
the unsafe condition addressed in the service information and this AD,
are Boeing ODA-approved, and include a follow-on inspection program,
but were installed before this AD becomes effective. For this reason,
the FAA allows FAA Form 8100-9 for approved repairs that meet both
criteria (1) and (2) specified in Note (a) of Boeing Alert Requirements
Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated February 22, 2019, to be exempted from
the inspections in those repaired areas, but do not allow just any FAA-
approved repair to be exempted from these required inspections.
However, under the provisions of paragraph (i) of this AD, the FAA will
consider requests for approval of certain repairs in this area that
affect compliance with this AD if sufficient data are submitted to
substantiate that the change would provide an acceptable level of
safety. The FAA has not changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Revise Certain Wording
DAL pointed out that Sheet 3 of 3 of Figure 21 of Boeing Alert
Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated February 22, 2019, contains
an error in the inspection task description. DAL stated that the
inspection task description and general visual inspection for station
1260 nomenclature should be ``FRAME'' instead of ``FRAME WEB.'' DAL
also stated that the procedure is to do a general visual inspection for
any existing repairs in the area prior to accomplishing a detailed
inspection and HFEC inspection. DAL commented that this is also
consistent with the other general visual inspection nomenclature of
adjacent frames to a frame found with a severed inner chord on Group 12
airplanes.
From these statements, the FAA infers that DAL was requesting that
the SNPRM be revised to correct the error in Figure 21 (Sheet 3 of 3)
of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated February
22, 2019. The FAA disagrees with the commenter's request. While the FAA
agrees that the name of the part specified in Figure 21 (Sheet 3 of 3)
of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated February
22, 2019, is incorrect, it will not affect the operator's ability to
accomplish the inspection in Figure 21 (Sheet 3 of 3) of Boeing Alert
Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated February 22, 2019, as the
location where the inspection is to be performed is clearly identified
in the figure. The FAA has not changed this AD in this regard.
Request To Define ``Unrepaired Locations''
Delta Airlines (DAL) requested that the FAA define ``unrepaired
locations'' in the SNPRM to eliminate misinterpretations. DAL stated
that it has interpreted the definition of ``unrepaired locations'' to
mean the areas of each frame that do not have a repair, which
interferes with accomplishment of the HFEC inspection. DAL commented
that this interpretation is based on the possibility that airplanes in
a cargo liner attachment channel configuration with two fasteners may
have one fastener location with an interfering repair and one fastener
location without an interfering repair. DAL also stated that it
possible to interpret ``unrepaired locations'' to mean only body
stations with fuselage frames free of existing repairs.
The FAA disagrees with the commenter's request. The service
information defines the locations that are to be inspected for repairs
and cracks. Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated
February 22, 2019, specifies operators to do a general visual
inspection of the fuselage frames with a cargo liner support channel
for any existing repair and provides figures that define the areas
where these inspections for repairs are to be performed. The on-
condition actions in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB,
dated February 22, 2019, then specify that if a repair in the
inspection area is found to contact Boeing for alternative inspections
and then to do those inspections and any corrective actions, as
applicable. Paragraph (h) of this AD requires operators to do the
repair, or alternative inspections and applicable on-condition actions
using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (i) of this AD. In addition, Boeing Alert Requirements
Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB, dated February 22, 2019, specifies that
operators perform the inspections for cracks at the locations that did
not have repairs and provides figures that clearly define those
inspection areas. The FAA has not changed this AD in this regard.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for minor
editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
<bullet> Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
SNPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
<bullet> Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 757-53A0113 RB,
dated February 22, 2019. This service information describes procedures
for a general visual inspection of the fuselage frames with a cargo
liner support channel for any existing repair, repetitive surface HFEC
inspections of the fuselage frames with a cargo liner support channel
for any cracking, and applicable on-condition actions. On-condition
actions include a general visual inspection of the fuselage frames
adjacent to a frame with a severed inner chord for any existing repair,
a detailed inspection and a surface HFEC inspection of the fuselage
frames adjacent to a frame with a severed inner chord for any 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
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 544 airplanes of U.S.
registry.

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.
The FAA is 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) 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.

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):
2020-05-25 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-19875; Docket No. FAA-

(a) Effective Date
This AD is effective May 4, 2020.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
(1) This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -
200PF, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes, certificated in any
category.
(2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
ST01518SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions
required by this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01518SE
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.

(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by a report that during a maintenance check
an operator discovered cracking of the aft cargo compartment frames
in the station 1460 frame web and inner chord between certain
stringers. The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracking at the
frame web and inner chord; such cracks could propagate until they
cause a severed frame, which could result in additional undetected
cracking in adjacent fuselage frames, and could ultimately result in
reduced structural integrity of the aft cargo frames and consequent
rapid decompression of the airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Required Actions
(1) Except as specified by paragraphs (g)(2) and (h) of this AD:
