Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767 Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Boeing Model 767 airplanes. This AD requires installing an automatic
shutoff system for the auxiliary fuel tank override/jettison fuel pumps
(also referred to as center tank fuel pumps in the airplane flight
manual (AFM)), revising the AFM to advise the flightcrew of certain
operating restrictions for airplanes equipped with an automatic
auxiliary fuel tank pump shutoff control, and, for certain airplanes,
installing a placard to alert the flightcrew of certain fuel usage
restrictions. This AD provides optional terminating actions for certain
requirements. This AD results from a design review of the fuel tank
systems. We are issuing this AD to prevent an overheat condition
outside the center tank fuel pump explosion-resistance area that is
open to the pump inlet, which could cause an ignition source for the
fuel vapors in the fuel tank and result in fuel tank explosions and
consequent loss of the airplane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
all Boeing Model 767 airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on September 11, 2007 (72 FR 51725). That NPRM proposed to
require installing an automatic shutoff system for the auxiliary fuel
tank override/jettison pumps (referred to as center tank fuel pumps in
the airplane flight manual (AFM)), revising the AFM to advise the
flightcrew of certain operating restrictions for airplanes equipped
with an automatic auxiliary fuel tank pump shutoff control, revising
the Airworthiness Limitations Section (AWL) of certain maintenance
documents to include new inspections of the automatic shutoff system
for the auxiliary fuel tank override/jettison pumps, and, for certain
airplanes, installing a placard to alert the flightcrew of certain fuel
usage restrictions.
Actions Since NPRM was Issued
To avoid including redundant requirements in this AD, we have
removed the proposed requirement to revise the AWL section of certain
maintenance documents to include new inspections of the automatic
shutoff system for the auxiliary fuel tank override/jettison pumps.
This AWL revision is already required by AD 2008-11-01, amendment 39-
15523 (73 FR 29414, May 21, 2008), for certain Boeing Model 767-200, -
300, -300F, and -400ER series airplanes, with an original standard
airworthiness certificate or original export certificate issued before
April 22, 2006. Airplanes with a certificate issued on or after April
22, 2006, must already be compliant with the AWL revision because those
limitations were applicable as part of the airworthiness certification
of those airplanes. We have removed the AWL revision requirement from
this AD (which was in paragraph (i) of the NPRM) and re-identified
subsequent paragraphs.
We have combined the AFM text proposed in paragraphs (h)(1) and
(h)(2) of the NPRM into one paragraph, paragraph (h), in this AD. Doing
this moved the proposed revisions for the Normal Procedures section of
the AFM and placed them with the other proposed revisions for the
Certificate Limitation section of the AFM. We determined that the
Certification Limitation section is the more appropriate section in the
AFM for all of the revisions because the revisions are intended to be
airplane limitations. In the De-fueling and Fuel Transfer section of
the AFM text, we revised the text to address all fuel pumps instead of
only the center tank fuel pumps. The same concern (potential ignition
source) for dry running during de-fueling exists for the main tank
pumps. The limitation revisions required in this AD are similar to the
limitations that have been placed on other Boeing airplane models in
similar AD actions.
We have also revised the text in paragraph (m) of this AD (the
Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC) paragraph) to include more
contact information and further clarification on the AMOC process.
Boeing issued Revision 2, dated February 12, 2009, to Service
Bulletin 767-28A0083. We have revised paragraph (f) of this AD to
reference Revision 2 of the service bulletin and have revised paragraph
(g) of this AD to provide credit for Boeing Service Bulletin 767-
28A0083, Revision 1, dated April 26, 2007. Revision 2 of this service
bulletin corrects the wiring configuration group for some airplanes,
and adds and corrects some figures and references.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received from the six commenters.
Request to Clarify Service Bulletin
TDG Aerospace (TDG) states that after reviewing the requirements in
Section 25.981 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 25.981), it
questions whether the service bulletins (listed in the following table)
referenced in the NPRM are FAA approved.

[[Page 38907]]
We have determined that the service information referenced in this
AD meets applicable requirements and is FAA-approved. No change to this
AD is necessary in this regard.
Request To Exclude Airplanes With Deactivated Center Fuel Tanks
All Nippon Airways (ANA) and ABX Air request that we exclude
airplanes with deactivated center fuel tanks from the requirements of
the NPRM. ANA suggests that we revise the applicability of the NPRM to
exclude airplanes with deactivated center fuel tanks. ANA states that
the center wing tank pumps of airplanes with deactivated center fuel
tanks do not have power provided to the pumps and, therefore, do not
pose a risk of ignition. ABX Air suggests that we add a paragraph
stating that no action is required for airplanes with center fuel tanks
deactivated in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-
28A0050, dated December 18, 1997; or Boeing Service Bulletin 767-
28A0050, Revision 1, dated December 22, 1999. ABX Air also states that
if pumps cannot operate, the identified unsafe condition is eliminated.
ABX Air also states that paragraph (j) of the NPRM proposes to require
placards and that requiring placards that refer to AD 2001-15-08,
amendment 39-12342 (66 FR 39417, July 31, 2001) is inappropriate for
airplanes with deactivated fuel tanks.
We partially agree. We agree that deactivated center tank pumps do
not pose an ignition risk because there is no power provided to these
pumps. But to ensure that power cannot be applied to the pumps, we must
specifically require the method of deactivation. Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 767-28A0050, dated December 18, 1997; or Boeing Service
Bulletin 767-28A0050, Revision 1, dated December 22, 1999; provide
adequate procedures for deactivating the center fuel tanks.
Deactivation of center tanks in accordance with these service bulletins
is approved as an optional terminating action for the requirements of
paragraphs (f), (h), and (i) of this AD, as indicated in new paragraph
(j) of this AD. For airplanes with tanks deactivated in a different
manner, operators must request approval of an AMOC, as specified in
paragraph (m) of this AD, and provide data to substantiate that the
deactivation methods will ensure the safety of the airplane. We have
also added new paragraph (k) to this AD to address airplanes on which
the center fuel tanks are reactivated.
In regard to the commenter's statement that requiring placards is
inappropriate for airplanes with deactivated fuel tanks, we agree that
the fuel management placard specified in paragraph (i) of this AD is
not necessary for airplanes with deactivated center fuel tanks. We have
included this information in paragraphs (j) and (k) of this AD
accordingly.
Request To Allow Operating Limitations as Terminating Action
UPS requests that we revise the NPRM to allow compliance with
certain operating limitations specified in AD 2001-15-08 (shutting off
the pumps below certain fuel weight limits) and AFM limitations
specified in the NPRM as terminating action for paragraphs (f) and (i)
of the NPRM (automatic shutoff system installation and fuel pump
operation limitations). According to UPS:
The benefit of having the automatic shutoff system is achieved
only if the flight crew fails to follow procedure. In this instance,
the issue becomes a flight crew training issue which needs to be
addressed in a different and more appropriate medium.
UPS also states that because AD 2001-15-08 limits operation of the
center fuel tank to more than 1,000 pounds of fuel at all times, the
fuel pump is submerged and there is no potential for an ignition
source.
UPS asserts that, when the pumps remain submerged with 1,000 pounds
of fuel, there is no opportunity for ignition sources to develop from
the pump, and those conditions effectively provide a level of safety
higher than that provided by installing the pump automatic shutoff as
proposed in the NPRM.
We disagree. AD 2001-15-08 requires, among other things, revising
the AFM to include procedures that will ensure that the center tank
fuel pumps are always operated with useable fuel levels (1,000 pounds
or more). However, that AD addressed a specific problem with the center
tank fuel pumps that could lead to an ignition source in the fuel tank.
Shutting off pumps with 1,000 pounds of fuel remaining is regarded only
as interim action for that specific unsafe condition, until the pump
power control system changes are incorporated. Even in the absence of
specific fuel pump ignition source issues, the fuel pump indication
features and crew procedures in the original design are now considered
to need corrective action to eliminate the reliance on flight crew
procedures to prevent extended dry pump operation. We are aware of
numerous accounts of pilots failing to turn pumps off at the current
requirement of 1,000 pounds. We have, therefore, determined that
installing the automatic shutoff system provides a higher level of
safety because it prevents extended dry running of the fuel pumps. We
have not changed this AD regarding this issue.
Request To Clarify Airplanes Affected by Certain Requirements
Boeing requests that we revise certain paragraphs of the NPRM to
identify affected airplanes. According to Boeing, Model 767 airplanes
beginning with line number 941 (VR088) have the center tank fuel pump
automatic shutoff system installed in production and should be excluded
from the retrofit requirements.
We agree, for the reason provided by Boeing. We have revised
paragraphs (f) and (h) of this AD to clarify the airplanes affected by
the requirements of those paragraphs.
Request To Include Means of Compliance for Universal Fault Interrupter
(UFI)
TDG states that it is currently certifying its UFI for use on Model
767 airplanes. TDG claims that the UFI, already implemented on other
Boeing airplanes, will provide (1) a center tank override pump
automatic shutoff, (2) uncommanded run protection (from control relay
failed in the ``ON'' position), and (3) electrical fault protection
(line-to-ground, line-to-line, open phases, etc.). TDG, therefore,
requests that we include the UFI as a means of compliance, if the
supplemental type certificate (STC) for the Model 767 UFI is approved
before the final rule is issued.
We disagree with the commenter's request. At this time, the TDG 767
STC has not yet been approved, so we cannot identify it as a method of
compliance for this AD. However, we recognize that a similar TDG STC
has been approved for Boeing Model 757 airplanes and that it was
identified as a method of compliance for a similar AD related to that
model. Once the 767 STC is issued, TDG may apply for approval of an
AMOC for the design, as provided by paragraph (m) of this AD.
Request To Match AFM and NPRM Language
Japan Airlines (JAL) advises of a discrepancy between the wording
in the corresponding portions of Boeing's current AFM and the original
NPRM. Paragraph (h)(2) of the NPRM states that center tank fuel
``pumps'' must not be on, but the latest revision to the AFM states
that center tank fuel ``pump switches'' must not be on.
We agree. The current AFM (correctly) contains the word
``switches.'' As the commenter points out, the wording should be
consistent in
[[Page 38908]]
both the AFM and this document. We have revised paragraph (h) of this
AD accordingly.
Request To Revise Description of Affected Pumps
Boeing requests that we revise the Summary and Relevant Service
Information sections of the NPRM. Specifically, reference to the
``auxiliary fuel tank boost pump'' should be changed to the ``override/
jettison fuel pump'' as the appropriate fuel pump in the auxiliary
tank. Boeing adds that references to fuel ``boost pumps'' are typically
associated with fuel pumps located in the main tanks, so referring to
auxiliary fuel pumps as ``boost pumps'' could be confusing.
We agree that the wording identified by the commenter could be
confusing. We have revised the Summary section and other relevant
sections in this AD as requested. The Relevant Service Information
section, however, is not repeated in this final rule. We have also
revised references to auxiliary tank pumps to ``center tank fuel
pumps'' throughout the rest of this AD for clarity and consistency with
the AFM text.
Request to Correct Paragraph Reference
JAL points out that Note 2 of the NPRM refers to paragraph (g) of
the AD, but should refer to paragraph (h). We agree and have revised
Note 1 in this AD (which was Note 2 in the NPRM) accordingly.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that
these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 414 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD. The fleet cost could be as high as $4,655,016.

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
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.
You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

Revision of Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
(h) For Model 767 airplanes with line numbers 1 through 940
inclusive: Concurrently with accomplishing the actions required by
paragraph (f) of this AD, revise Section 1, Certificate Limitations,
of the Boeing 767 AFM to include the following:
``CENTER TANK FUEL PUMPS
Center tank fuel pump switches must not be ``ON'' unless
personnel are available in the flight deck to monitor low PRESS
lights.
For ground operations prior to engine start: The center tank
fuel pump switches must not be positioned ON unless the center tank
contains usable fuel. With center tank fuel pump switches ON, verify
both center tank fuel pump low PRESS lights are illuminated and
EICAS CTR L FUEL PUMP and CTR R FUEL PUMP messages are displayed.
For ground operations after engine start and flight operations:
The center tank fuel pump switch must be selected OFF when the
respective CTR L FUEL PUMP or CTR R FUEL PUMP message displays. Both
center tank fuel pump switches must be selected OFF when either the
CTR L FUEL PUMP or CTR R FUEL PUMP message displays if the center
tank is empty. During cruise flight, both center tank pump switches
may be reselected ON whenever center tank usable fuel is indicated.
DE-FUELING AND FUEL TRANSFER
When transferring fuel or de-fueling center or main wing tanks,
the fuel pump low PRESS lights must be monitored and the respective
fuel pump switches positioned to ``OFF'' at the first indication of
low pressure. Prior to transferring fuel or de-fueling, conduct a
lamp test of the respective fuel pump low PRESS lights.
Intentional dry running of a center tank fuel pump (CTR L FUEL
PUMP or CTR R FUEL PUMP message displayed on EICAS) is prohibited.
Do not reset a tripped fuel pump or fuel pump control circuit
breaker.''
This may be done by inserting a copy of this AD into the AFM.
Note 1: When statements identical to those in paragraph (h) of
this AD have been included in the general revisions of the AFM, the
general revisions may be inserted into the AFM, and the copy of this
AD may be removed from the AFM.
Placard Installation
(i) For Model 767-200, -300, or -300F airplanes that meet the
conditions of paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this AD: Within 30
days after the effective date of this AD, install a placard in the
flight deck adjacent to each pilot's primary flight display, to
alert the flightcrew to follow the procedures required by paragraph
(b) of AD 2001-15-08. The placard must include the following
statement: ``AD 2001-15-08 fuel usage restrictions required.''
Alternative placard wording may be used if approved by an
appropriate FAA Principal Operations Inspector. Alternative placard
methods and alternative methods of mixed fleet configuration control
may be used if submitted for review in accordance with the
procedures specified in paragraph (m) of this AD.
(1) The airplane is operated in a fleet of airplanes on which
the actions specified in paragraph (f) of this AD have been done on
at least one of the fleet's airplanes.
(2) The actions specified in paragraph (i) of AD 2001-15-08
(installation of modified center tank override and override/jettison
fuel pumps that are not subject to the unsafe condition described in
this AD) or paragraph (f) of this AD have not been done on the
airplane.
Note 2: If the actions specified in paragraph (f) of this AD
have been done on all airplanes operated within an operator's fleet,
or if operation according to the fuel usage restrictions of AD 2001-
15-08 is maintained until automatic shutoff systems are installed on
all airplanes in an operator's fleet: No placard is necessary before
removal of the wet shutoff restrictions of AD 2001-15-08.
Optional Terminating Action for Paragraphs (f), (h), and (i) of this
AD: Deactivation of Center Fuel Tanks
(j) Deactivation of the center fuel tanks, in accordance with
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-28A0050, dated December 18, 1997;
or Boeing Service Bulletin 767-28A0050, Revision 1, dated December
22, 1999; terminates the requirements of paragraphs (f), (h), and
(i) of this AD, except as provided by paragraph (k) of this AD.
Reactivation of Center Fuel Tanks
(k) For any airplane on which the center fuel tank is
reactivated, the center fuel tank must be reactivated in accordance
with a method approved by the Manager, Seattle Aircraft
Certification Office (ACO), FAA. For any airplane on which the
center fuel tank is reactivated, the requirements of paragraphs (f),
(h), and (i) of this AD must be done before further flight following
the reactivation, or within 36 months after the effective date of
this AD, whichever occurs later. For a reactivation method to be
approved, the reactivation method must meet the certification basis
of the airplane, and the approval must specifically reference this
AD.
Terminating Action for AD 2001-15-08
(l) For airplanes that have automatic shutoff systems installed:
Accomplishing paragraphs (f) and (i) of this AD terminates the
requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of AD 2001-15-08.
