Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500 
Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive 
(AD), which applies to all Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series 
airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive inspections for 
discrepancies of the fuselage skin under the dorsal fin assembly, and 
repairing if necessary. This new AD requires an inspection for any 
chafing or crack in the fuselage skin and abrasion resistant coating at 
the dorsal fin landing, an inspection for damage to the dorsal fin 
seals, attach clip, and seal retainer, and other specified and 
corrective actions as necessary. The new requirements will end the need 
for the existing repetitive inspections. This AD results from a report 
of an 18-inch crack found in the fuselage skin area under the blade 
seals of the nose cap of the dorsal fin due to previous wear damage, 
and additional reports of fuselage skin wear. We are issuing this AD to 
prevent discrepancies of the fuselage skin, which could result in 
fatigue cracking due to cabin pressurization and consequent rapid in-
flight decompression of the airplane fuselage.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 14, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by 
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of May 14, 2009.
    On November 12, 2004 (69 FR 62567, October 27, 2004), the Director 
of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of 
Boeing Message Number 1-QXO35, dated October 13, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2004-22-05, amendment 
39-13833 (69 FR 62567, October 27, 2004). The existing AD applies to 
all Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. That NPRM 
was published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2008 (73 FR 22088). 
That NPRM proposed to continue to require repetitive inspections for 
discrepancies of the fuselage skin under the dorsal fin assembly, and 
repairing if necessary. That NPRM also proposed to add an inspection 
for any chafing or crack in the fuselage skin and abrasion resistant 
coating at the dorsal fin landing, an inspection for damage to the 
dorsal fin seals, attach clip, and seal retainer, and other specified 
and corrective actions as necessary.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the 
development of this AD. We have considered the comments that have been 
received on the NPRM.

Request To Clarify Certain Language in Paragraph (i) of the NPRM

    Boeing asks that we change certain language in paragraph (i) of the 
NPRM to add the word ``abrasion'' as follows: ``Do a detailed 
inspection for any signs of abrasion, chafing, or crack . * * *'' 
Boeing also asks that we change that same paragraph to make the word 
``retainer'' plural as follows: ``do a detailed inspection for damage 
to the

[[Page 16109]]

dorsal fin seals, attach clip, and seal retainers, and do all 
applicable other specified and corrective actions * * *'' Boeing states 
that these changes will clarify that the inspection is also for signs 
of abrasion and that there is more than one seal retainer.
    We agree to add the word ``abrasion'' (in parentheses) to the 
description of the discrepancies specified in paragraph (i) of the AD 
because abrasion is a synonym of chafing. We also agree that there are 
multiple seal retainers and we have also included that in paragraph (i) 
of the AD for clarification.
    Boeing also asks that we change the last sentence in paragraph (i) 
of the NPRM for clarification to add that paragraph (g) of the NPRM is 
also terminated by the actions in paragraph (i).
    We do not agree to change the last sentence in paragraph (i) of 
this AD. Paragraph (g) is corrective action that is accomplished if any 
discrepancy is found during any inspection required by paragraph (f) of 
the AD. The terminating action in paragraph (i) is for the repetitive 
inspections in paragraph (f); therefore, if operators are no longer 
performing those inspections then the corrective action will not be 
necessary. We have made no change to the AD in this regard.

Request To Expand Inspection to Add the Wear Strip

    Japan Transocean Air (JTA) asks that we expand the inspection 
specified in paragraph (i) of the NPRM to include an inspection of 
either the fuselage skin or the wear strip. JTA notes that AD 2004-22-
05 requires repetitive detailed inspections for discrepancies (wear or 
cracking) of the fuselage skin under the dorsal fin assembly, and the 
new requirements retain this inspection. JTA states that it plans to 
install wear strips in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 
737-53A1266, dated August 30, 2007. In order to avoid removal of the 
wear strip, JTA asks that repetitive inspections for either the 
fuselage skin or the wear strip be included in the NPRM.
    We do not agree to include a requirement to inspect either the 
fuselage skin or the wear strip. Accomplishing all of the applicable 
actions in paragraph (i) of the AD terminates the repetitive 
inspections required by AD 2004-22-05; the new requirements do not 
retain the repetitive inspections as noted by the commenter. Paragraph 
(i) of the NPRM follows the inspection procedures specified in Boeing 
Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1266, dated August 30, 2007. However, 
according to the provisions of paragraph (l) of this AD, the operator 
can apply for an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) if supporting 
data is provided. We have made no change to the AD in this regard.

Request To Add a Note to the Applicability Section

    Boeing asks that we add a note to the applicability section of the 
NPRM to address operators who may have accomplished repairs or 
modifications in the subject area. Boeing states that some operators 
have accomplished Boeing Service Bulletin 737-55-1057, dated December 
12, 1996, structural repair manual (SRM) repairs, or AD 2004-22-05 in 
the subject area and some of the repairs are no longer acceptable.
    We do not agree to add a note to the applicability section in this 
AD. The new inspections required by paragraph (i) of the AD are 
required on all airplanes, as identified in paragraph (c) of this AD. 
For airplanes on which existing repairs, alterations, or modifications 
do not allow for the inspections, you must request an AMOC as required 
by 14 CFR 39.17. We will consider requests for AMOCs under the 
provisions of paragraph (l) of the AD, which will then be evaluated to 
ensure that the unsafe condition has been addressed. We have made no 
change to the AD in this regard.

Request To Clarify Compliance Section

    Boeing asks that we clarify the action required in the compliance 
section as specified at the end of the sentence of paragraph (e) of the 
NPRM. Paragraph (e) specifies in part ``* * * unless the actions have 
already been done.'' Boeing suggests we change that language in 
paragraph (e) to read: ``* * * unless the actions required by this AD 
have already been done.'' Boeing states that this change would clarify 
the actions required by the AD.
    We do not agree to clarify paragraph (e) of this AD. We find that 
the current language is clear as written. We have made no change to the 
AD in this regard.

Request To Clarify the Purpose of Restating the Requirements in AD 
2004-22-05

    Boeing asks that we clarify the reason for the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (f), (g), and (h) of the NPRM. Boeing states 
that the purpose of restating the requirements of AD 2004-22-05 in the 
NPRM is unclear and confusing. Boeing notes that we need to clearly 
indicate if the restatement section is meant to reprint AD 2004-22-05, 
and if so, those sections should contain the same language and indicate 
that the previous AD is obsolete. Boeing adds that if the intention of 
the new AD is to restate some of the requirements of AD 2004-22-05, 
then Boeing points out that Boeing Service Bulletin 737-55-1057, dated 
December 12, 1996 (referenced in AD 2004-22-05) has been cancelled; 
Boeing Message Number I-QXO35, dated October 13, 2004 (also referenced 
in AD 2004-22-05), has been superseded by Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 
737-53A1266, dated August 30, 2007, which does not require repetitive 
inspections.
    We do not agree that the reason for the requirements specified in 
paragraphs (f), (g), and (h) of the AD needs clarification because 
these statements are restating the requirements of AD 2004-22-05, which 
is being superseded by this AD. As specified in the new requirements in 
paragraph (i) of this AD, accomplishing the actions in paragraph (i) 
terminates the repetitive inspections required by paragraph (f) of the 
AD. Since paragraph (f) restates the requirements in AD 2004-22-05, 
accomplishing those requirements is no longer necessary after 
accomplishing the requirements in paragraph (i); however, the 
requirements of AD 2004-22-05, as restated in this AD, remain in effect 
until the requirements of paragraph (i) of this AD are accomplished. 
Paragraph (g) of the AD is the follow-on repair if discrepancies are 
found, and paragraph (h) just specifies that reporting is not required. 
Therefore, we have made no change to the AD in this regard.

Request To Change Paragraph (l)(4) of the NPRM

    Boeing asks that we change paragraph (l)(4) of the NPRM to specify 
the following: ``AMOCs approved previously in accordance with AD 2004-
22-05 and repairs accomplished in accordance with 737-300/-400/-500 SRM 
737-53-60-01, repairs 9 and 10, are approved as AMOCs for the 
corresponding provisions of paragraphs (f) and (g) of this AD, if they 
fulfill the requirements provided in paragraph (i) of this AD.'' Boeing 
states that better clarification of the language is necessary to 
encompass SRM repairs. Boeing notes that the addition of reference to 
paragraph (i) is required because some airplanes on which AD 2004-22-05 
has been accomplished will not meet the new requirements.
    We do not agree to change paragraph (l)(4) of the AD. AMOCs 
approved previously for AD 2004-22-05 are approved as AMOCs to the 
provision of paragraphs (f) and (g) of this AD only. All airplanes are 
subject to the new

[[Page 16110]]

inspection requirements specified in paragraph (i) of the AD. For 
airplanes on which existing repairs, alterations, or modifications do 
not allow for the inspection, we will consider requests for AMOCs under 
the provisions of paragraph (l) of the AD, which will then be evaluated 
to ensure that the unsafe condition has been addressed. We have made no 
change to the AD in this regard.

Request To Exclude Certain Inspections of the Fuselage Skin

    KLM Royal Dutch Airlines asks that the NPRM specify that 
inspections of the fuselage skin aft of body station (BS) 887 and BS 
908 are not required if inspections done previously per AD 2004-22-05 
have resulted in findings only between BS 857 and BS 887 (no findings 
aft of BS 887), or BS 857 and BS 908 (no findings aft of BS 908), as 
applicable; and when a repair has been installed per Boeing 737-300/-
400/-500 SRM, Chapter 53-60-01, Repair 9 or Repair 10, as applicable, 
including installation of CRES 0.016 inch thick wear strips. KLM notes 
that the following language should be included in the NPRM: ``A one-
time detailed inspection for damage to dorsal fin seals, attach clip, 
and seal retainer, and accomplishment of all the applicable corrective 
actions per the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 
737-53A1266-R0 is still required.''
    We do not agree to exclude the inspections noted above by KLM. 
Repair 9 of Chapter 53-60-01 of the Boeing 737-300/-400/-500 SRM was 
revised in 2006 and operators that used the earlier version of Repair 9 
are required to comply with the new requirements in this AD. 
Installation of the latest Repair 9 or Repair 10 of Chapter 53-60-01 of 
the Boeing 737-300/-400/-500 SRM, including the wear strips, does not 
eliminate the potential for wear damage aft of the repair location. 
Operators are still required to inspect this area to ensure there is no 
damage. However, according to the provisions of paragraph (l) of this 
AD, we may approve requests for an AMOC if the request includes data 
that prove that excluding the inspections would provide an acceptable 
level of safety. We have not changed the AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the 
comments that have been received, and determined that air safety and 
the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described 
previously. We have determined that these changes will neither increase 
the economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 1,963 airplanes of the affected design in the 
worldwide fleet. This AD affects about 627 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2004-22-05 and retained in this 
AD take about 2 work hours per airplane, at an average labor rate of 
$80 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the 
currently required actions for U.S. operators is $100,320, or $160 per 
airplane, per inspection cycle.
    The new actions take about 15 work hours per airplane, at an 
average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Required parts cost about $801 
per airplane. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the new 
actions specified in this AD for U.S. operators is $1,254,627, or 
$2,001 per airplane.

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

    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); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to 
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES 
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

[[Page 16111]]

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2004-22-05

Repetitive Detailed Inspections

    (f) For airplanes specified in either paragraph (f)(1), (f)(2), 
(f)(3), or (f)(4) of this AD: Accomplish a detailed inspection for 
discrepancies (wear or cracking) of the fuselage skin under the 
dorsal fin assembly by doing all the actions specified in Boeing 
Message Number 1-QXO35, dated October 13, 2004. Repeat the 
inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 9,000 flight 
cycles. Accomplishing all of the applicable actions specified in 
paragraph (i) of this AD terminates the repetitive inspections 
required by this paragraph.


    Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a detailed inspection is: 
``An intensive examination of a specific item, installation, or 
assembly to detect damage, failure, or irregularity. Available 
lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good 
lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as 
mirror, magnifying lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface cleaning 
and elaborate procedures may be required.''

    (1) For airplanes with line numbers 1001 through 2828 inclusive 
that have not been inspected as of November 12, 2004 (the effective 
date of AD 2004-22-05), in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 
737-55-1057, dated December 12, 1996; or Revision 1, dated July 22, 
1999: Inspect before the accumulation of 18,000 total flight cycles, 
or within 90 days after November 12, 2004, whichever is later.
    (2) For airplanes with line numbers 2829 through 3132 inclusive 
that are not included in the effectivity of Boeing Service Bulletin 
737-55-1057, dated December 12, 1996; or Revision 1, dated July 22, 
1999: Inspect before the accumulation of 18,000 total flight cycles, 
or within 90 days after November 12, 2004, whichever is later.
    (3) For airplanes with line numbers 1001 through 2828 inclusive 
that have been inspected, but not repaired or modified as of 
November 12, 2004, in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-
55-1057, dated December 12, 1996; or Revision 1, dated July 22, 
1999: Inspect within 9,000 flight cycles after accomplishing the 
inspection, or within 90 days after November 12, 2004, whichever is 
later.
    (4) For airplanes with line numbers 1001 through 2828 inclusive 
that have been inspected and repaired or modified as of November 12, 
2004, in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 737-55-1057, dated 
December 12, 1996; or Revision 1, dated July 22, 1999: Inspect 
within 18,000 flight cycles after accomplishing the repair or 
modification, or within 90 days after November 12, 2004, whichever 
is later; and if a repair doubler is installed, before further 
flight, inspect the repair doubler for discrepancies (wear or 
cracking).

    Note 2: Boeing Message Number 1-QXO35, dated October 13, 2004, 
references Part I of Boeing Service Bulletin 737-55-1057, Revision 
1, dated July 22, 1999, as an additional source of service 
information for accomplishing the actions required by paragraph (f) 
of this AD.

Repair

    (g) If any discrepancy (wear or cracking) is found during any 
inspection required by paragraph (f) of this AD, before further 
flight, repair in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, 
Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA; or using a method 
approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph 
(1) of this AD.

Reporting Not Required

    (h) Although Boeing Message Number 1-QXO35, dated October 13, 
2004, specifies to report any fuselage skin cracking found during 
the detailed inspections, this AD does not include that requirement.

New Requirements of This AD

New Inspections and Other Specified and Corrective Actions

    (i) At the applicable compliance times specified in paragraph 
1.E. of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1266, dated August 30, 
2007, except as provided by paragraph (j) of this AD: Do a detailed 
inspection for any chafing (abrasion) or crack in the fuselage skin 
of the dorsal fin landing and abrasion resistant coating, do a 
detailed inspection for damage to dorsal fin seals, attach clip, and 
seal retainers, and do all the applicable other specified and 
corrective actions, by accomplishing all of the applicable actions 
specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service 
Bulletin 737-53A1266, dated August 30, 2007, except as provided by 
paragraph (k) of this AD. Accomplishing all of the applicable 
actions specified in this paragraph terminates the repetitive 
inspections required by paragraph (f) of this AD.

Exception to Compliance Times

    (j) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1266, dated 
August 30, 2007, specifies counting the compliance time from ``* * * 
the date on the service bulletin,'' this AD requires counting the 
compliance time from the effective date of this AD.

Exception to Corrective Actions

    (k) If any damage is found aft of body station 908 during any 
inspection required by this AD, and Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 
737-53A1266, dated August 30, 2007, specifies to contact Boeing for 
appropriate action: Before further flight, repair the fuselage skin 
using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified 
in paragraph (l) of this AD.

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (l)(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office, 
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, has the authority to approve 
AMOCs for this AD, if requested in accordance with the procedures 
found in 14 CFR 39.19.
    (2) To request a different method of compliance or a different 
compliance time for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 39.19. 
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC 
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA 
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local 
FSDO.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be 
used for any repair required by this AD, if it is approved by an 
Authorized Representative for the Boeing Commercial Airplanes 
Delegation Option Authorization Organization who has been authorized 
by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to make those findings. For a repair 
method to be approved, the repair must meet the certification basis 
of the airplane, and the approval must specifically refer to this 
AD.
    (4) AMOCs approved previously in accordance with AD 2004-22-05 
are approved as AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of paragraphs 
(f) and (g) of this AD.
