Background
The FAA issued AD 2020-01-18, Amendment 39-19824 (85 FR 5304,
January 30, 2020); corrected February 26, 2020 (85 FR 10969) (AD 2020-
01-18), for all the Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes. AD 2020-01-18
requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. AD 2020-01-18 includes a requirement to revise the
existing maintenance or inspection program to incorporate a
supplemental program to address the effect of Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) ST01518SE. The FAA issued AD 2020-01-18 to address
fatigue cracking of the principal structural elements, which could
adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
Since the FAA issued AD 2020-01-18, the FAA has received an
operator report indicating that during a maintenance H-check
inspection, a crack was found at the splice fitting between the
original wing and the Aviation Partners Boeing (APB) modified lower
wing skin panel, which is spliced at wing station (WS) 711 on a Boeing
Company Model 757-200 airplane with the APB blended winglets installed
in accordance with STC ST01518SE. APB reviewed the crack finding and
determined the existing airworthiness limitations (AWL) structural
significant items (SSI) 57-20-
[[Page 43160]]
32B does not provide adequate probability of detection for foreseeable
fatigue cracking of SSIs at station WS 711. If cracks grow undetected,
it may result in the inability of a principal structural element to
sustain limit loads. The FAA has determined that it is necessary to
revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations for
The Boeing Company Model 757-200 and -300 airplanes that have been
modified in accordance with STC ST01518SE, with or without blended or
scimitar blended winglets installed. Incorporating the revision
required by this proposed AD would terminate the requirements of
paragraphs (g) and (h)(2) of AD 2020-01-18.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address the potential for fatigue
cracking on the wing and winglet. This condition, if not addressed,
could result in the inability of a principal structural element to
sustain limit loads, which could adversely affect the structural
integrity of the airplane.
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.
Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed Aviation Partners Boeing AP57.2-0604.2 Supplement
to D622N001-9 (September 2020) 757 Maintenance Planning Data (MPD)
document, Section 9, Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) and Certification

inspections, structural safe life parts, systems, and certification
maintenance requirements.
The FAA also reviewed Aviation Partners Boeing AP57.2-0604.2-DTR
Supplement to D622N001-DTR (October 2018) 757 Damage Tolerance Rating
(DTR) Check Form Document for Boeing 757-200 with Winglets FAA STC

Blended Winglets FAA STC NUMBER ST01518SE AND EASA STC NUMBER 10015659,
Revision August 2023. This material provides the DTR check forms and
the procedure for their use.
This material 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.
Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM
This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. This proposed AD would also
require sending inspection results to Aviation Partners Boeing.
This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions 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
(j) of this proposed AD.
Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information
This proposed AD would require that the reports specified in the
service information identified in paragraph (g) of this proposed AD be
submitted within 10 days after the airplane is returned to service,
instead of 10 days after each individual finding as specified in the
documents. The FAA has included this grace period in paragraph (g)(3)
of this proposed AD.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 156 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:
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).

Paperwork Reduction Act
A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public
reporting for this collection of information is estimated to take
approximately 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. All responses to this collection of
information are mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to: Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood
Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.
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
[[Page 43161]]
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.
