Abstract

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 777 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. This proposed AD would require, depending on the airplane configuration, installation of Teflon sleeves, cap sealing of fasteners, detailed inspections, and corrective actions. This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate more restrictive airworthiness limitations (AWLs). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Background

    The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in fuel 
tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the 
adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes 
subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for 
fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, the FAA issued a 
regulation titled ``Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review, 
Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements'' 
(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards 
for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this rule 
included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (SFAR 88), 
Amendment 21-78. Subsequently, SFAR 88 was amended by Amendment 21-82 
(67 FR 57490, September 10, 2002; corrected at 67 FR 70809, November 
26, 2002) and Amendment 21-83 (67 FR 72830, December 9, 2002; corrected 
at 68 FR 37735, June 25, 2003, to change ``21-82'' to ``21-83'').
    Among other actions, SFAR 88 requires certain type design (i.e., 
type certificate (TC) and supplemental type certificate (STC)) holders 
to substantiate that their fuel tank systems can prevent ignition 
sources in the fuel tanks. This requirement applies to type design 
holders for large turbine-powered

[[Page 44286]]

transport airplanes and for subsequent modifications to those 
airplanes. It requires them to perform design reviews and to develop 
design changes and maintenance procedures if their designs do not meet 
the new fuel tank safety standards. As explained in the preamble to the 
rule, the FAA intended to adopt airworthiness directives to mandate any 
changes found necessary to address unsafe conditions identified as a 
result of these reviews.
    In evaluating these design reviews, the FAA has established four 
criteria intended to define the unsafe conditions associated with fuel 
tank systems that require corrective actions. The percentage of 
operating time during which fuel tanks are exposed to flammable 
conditions is one of these criteria. The other three criteria address 
the failure types under evaluation: Single failures, combination of 
failures, and unacceptable (failure) experience. For all three failure 
criteria, the evaluations included consideration of previous actions 
taken that may mitigate the need for further action.
    The FAA has determined that the actions identified in this proposed 
AD are necessary to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside 
fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could 
result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
    The FAA issued AD 2017-11-14, Amendment 39-18913 (82 FR 25954, June 
6, 2017) (AD 2017-11-14), for certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200, 
-200LR, -300, and -300ER series airplanes, to prevent arcing inside the 
main and center fuel tanks in the event of a fault current or lightning 
strike, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result 
in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
    AD 2017-11-14 requires certain inspections for certain airplanes, 
corrective actions if necessary, and installation of Teflon sleeves 
under certain wire bundle clamps.
    Since the FAA issued AD 2017-11-14, it was discovered that more 
airplanes are affected by the identified unsafe condition, and 
additional work is required for airplanes on which an earlier revision 
of the service information was done.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe 
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other 
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0050, 
Revision 6, dated August 18, 2021. This service information specifies 
applicable actions that vary depending on the airplane configuration, 
such as procedures for the installation of Teflon sleeves, cap sealing 
of fasteners, detailed inspections, and corrective actions. The 
detailed inspection of and installation of Teflon sleeves includes 
various locations, such as the rear spar wire bundles, inboard and 
outboard front spar wire bundles, wing-to-body fairing and 
environmental control system (ECS) bay wire bundles, front and rear 
spar bulkhead wire bundles, and wing rear spar wire bundles. The 
detailed inspection of and cap sealing of fasteners include fasteners 
in the center fuel tank, left and right main fuel tanks, and right 
cheek portion of the center fuel tank. Corrective actions include 
installing Teflon sleeve, installing clamp, and cap sealing fasteners.
    The FAA also reviewed Section 9, Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) 
and Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMRs), D622W001-9, dated 
March 2022, of Boeing 777 200/200LR/300/300ER/777F Maintenance Planning 
Data (MPD) Document. This service information specifies, among other 
airworthiness limitations, 28-AWL-31 and 28-AWL-32 that address cushion 
clamps and Teflon sleeving installed on out-of-tank wire bundles 
installed on brackets that are mounted directly on the fuel tanks.
    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 ADDRESSES.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require doing all applicable actions (i.e., 
installation of Teflon sleeves, cap sealing of fasteners, detailed 
inspections, and corrective actions) identified in Boeing Alert Service 
Bulletin 777-57A0050, Revision 6, dated August 18, 2021. This proposed 
AD would also require revising the existing maintenance or inspection 
program, as applicable, to incorporate AWLs 28-AWL-31 and 28-AWL-32 as 
identified in Section 9, Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) and 
Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMRs), D622W001-9, dated March 
2022. For information on the procedures and compliance times for the 
applicable actions specified in paragraph (g) of this AD, see Boeing 
Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0050, Revision 6, dated August 18, 2021, 
at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-
2022-0810.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator 
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and 
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance 
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For 
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in 
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able 
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this 
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request 
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph 
(m) of this proposed AD.
    This NPRM would not supersede AD 2017-11-14. Rather, the FAA has 
determined that a stand-alone AD would be more appropriate to address 
the changes. Accomplishment of the actions required by paragraph (g) of 
this proposed AD would then terminate the requirements of paragraphs 
(g)(1), (i), and (j) of AD 2017-11-14.
    In addition, accomplishment of the revision required by paragraph 
(i) of this proposed AD would terminate the requirements of paragraphs 
(g)(6) and (h) of AD 2021-24-12, Amendment 39-21833 (86 FR 73660, 
December 28, 2021) (AD 2021-24-12). AD 2021-24-12 requires revising the 
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to 
incorporate multiple AWLs, including 28-AWL-31 and 28-AWL-32.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would 
affect 282 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following 
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

[[Page 44287]]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for revising the existing maintenance or inspection program.

    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or 
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, 
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator 
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection 
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined 
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane 
estimate. Therefore, the FAA estimates the average total cost per 
operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary 
corrective actions that would be required based on the results of the 
proposed inspections. The agency has no way of determining the number 
of aircraft that might need these actions:

                                               On-Condition Costs

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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed 
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive 
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or 
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
