Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-07-09, which applied to
certain The Boeing Company Model 737-700, -700C, -800, and -900ER series airplanes, Model 747-
400F series airplanes, and Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes. AD 2013-07-09 required a
general visual inspection for affected serial numbers of the crew oxygen mask stowage box units, and
replacement or re-identification as necessary. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2013-07-09
and expands the applicability. This AD was prompted by a determination that the affected parts may
be installed on airplanes outside the original applicability of AD 2013-07-09. The FAA is issuing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective May 26, 2021.


The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in this AD as of May 20, 2013 (78 FR 22178, April 15, 2013).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background

The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to
supersede AD 2013-07-09, Amendment 39-17413 (78 FR 22178, April 15, 2013) (AD 2013-07-09).
AD 2013-07-09 applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-700, -700C, -800, and -900ER
series airplanes, Model 747-400F series airplanes, and Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 25, 2019 (84 FR 29818). The NPRM was prompted
by reports indicating that certain crew oxygen mask stowage box units were possibly delivered with a
burr in the inlet fitting. The burr might break loose during test or operation, and might pose an
ignition source or cause an inlet valve to jam. The NPRM was also prompted by a determination that
the affected parts may be installed on airplanes outside the original applicability of AD 2013-07-09.
The NPRM proposed to continue to require a general visual inspection for affected serial numbers of
the crew oxygen mask stowage box units, and replacement or re-identification as necessary. The
NPRM also proposed to expand the applicability to include those other airplanes. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address this possible ignition source, which could result in an oxygen-fed fire; or an inlet
valve jam in a crew oxygen mask stowage box unit, which could result in restricted flow of oxygen.
The FAA issued a supplemental NPRM (SNPRM) that published in the Federal Register on
November 5, 2020 (85 FR 70526). The SNPRM proposed to continue to require a general visual
inspection for affected serial numbers of the crew oxygen mask stowage box units, and replacement
or re-identification as necessary. The SNPRM also proposed to expand the applicability to include
additional airplane models.

Comments

The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following
presents the comments received on the SNPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the SNPRM

The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) and Boeing expressed support for the
SNPRM. Additional comments from ALPA are addressed below.

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

Aviation Partners Boeing stated that the installation of blended or split scimitar winglets per
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01219SE on Model 737CL airplanes (Model 737-200, -300,
-400, and -500 series airplanes), and blended winglets per STC ST01518SE on Model 757 airplanes,
does not affect the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions.

2
The FAA agrees with the commenter that STC ST01219SE and STC ST01518SE do not affect
the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions. Therefore, the installation of STC
ST01219SE or STC ST01518SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this
AD. The FAA has not changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Shorten the Compliance Time

ALPA requested that the FAA shorten the compliance time of the proposed AD from 24 months
to 12 months. ALPA noted that several commenters on the NPRM requested an extended compliance
time, and that it is not in favor of an extension.
The FAA disagrees with the commenter's request. ALPA did not provide justification for its
request. As noted in the SNPRM, in developing an appropriate compliance time for this action, the
FAA considered the safety implications, parts availability, and normal maintenance schedules for the
timely accomplishment of the inspection and replacement or re-identification as necessary. Further,
operators are always permitted to accomplish the requirements of an AD at a time earlier than the
specified compliance time. In addition, to reduce the compliance time of the proposed AD 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.
In light of this, and in consideration of the amount of time that has already elapsed since issuance of
the original notice, the FAA has determined that further delay of this AD is not appropriate. The FAA
has not changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Allow a Records Review Based on Certain Additional Criteria

United Parcel Service Co. (UPS) requested that the introductory text to paragraph (i) of the
proposed AD be revised to allow a records review in lieu of the specified inspection, provided it can
be conclusively determined that the serial number is not an affected (suspect) part (one that is
identified in the Appendix of Intertechnique Service Bulletin MXP1/4-35-175, Revision 2, dated May
10, 2011). UPS noted that paragraph (i) of the proposed AD would allow a records review if the
serial number of the crew oxygen mask stowage box unit could be conclusively determined. UPS
noted that it has identified scenarios where the serial number may not be conclusively known, but the
unit can be confirmed to not be one of the affected units. UPS explained that Boeing was not
consistent in providing serial numbers for the units with delivery documents. However, UPS noted
that through records showing when units were changed, as well as knowing the date of production of
a given aircraft, UPS can conclusively determine that the units with the affected serial numbers were
not installed on a given aircraft.
The FAA agrees with the commenter's request for the reasons provided. The FAA has revised
the introductory text to paragraph (i) of this AD to clarify that a records review is also acceptable if it
can be conclusively determined that the serial number is not one that is identified in the Appendix of
Intertechnique Service Bulletin MXP1/4-35-175, Revision 2, dated May 10, 2011.

Request To Revise Manufacturing Date Range

United Airlines requested that paragraph (i)(1) of the proposed AD be revised to specify that
units with a manufacturing date outside the range of July 2007 through November 2007 inclusive
(instead of July 12, 2007, through November 20, 2007, inclusive) do not need to be replaced. United
Airlines also requested that similar revisions be made to the introductory text to paragraph (i) of the
proposed AD, and paragraphs (i)(2), (j)(1), and (j)(2) of the proposed AD. United Airlines stated that
the manufacture date on the mask stowage box units typically shows only the month and year (in
MMYYYY format). The commenter noted that determining the exact calendar date of manufacture

3
may not be possible, and without a specific serial number, the manufacturer would not be able to
narrow down the date.
The FAA partially agrees with the commenter's request. The FAA agrees that determining the
exact date of manufacture may not be possible because the manufacturer date on the mask stowage
box units typically shows only the month and year. The FAA has therefore revised paragraph (i)(1) of
this AD to specify that units with a manufacturing date outside the range of July 2007 through
November 2007 inclusive do not need to be replaced. The FAA has also revised paragraph (j)(1) of
this AD to specify that units where the serial number is unreadable or undetermined, but the
manufacturing date can conclusively be determined to be outside the range of July 2007 through
November 2007 inclusive, may be installed on an airplane. However, the FAA has determined that
the commenter's suggested revisions to the introductory text to paragraph (i) of this AD are not
needed because the introductory text to paragraph (i) of this AD only requires determining the serial
number and does not specify actions based on whether or not the serial number can be determined. In
addition, the FAA has determined that the commenter's suggested revisions to paragraphs (i)(2) and
(j)(2) of this AD are not needed because the actions in those paragraphs are only applicable for units
with a known serial number that is identified in table 2 of the Appendix of Intertechnique Service
Bulletin MXP1/4-35-175, Revision 2, dated May 10, 2011 (those that need re-identification).

Request To Allow Use of Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM)

Delta Air Lines (Delta) requested confirmation that it may use the respective fleet's AMM to
perform removals and installations if any of the affected units are found on its airplanes. Delta noted
that paragraph (i) of the proposed AD does not specify instructions for removal or replacement. Delta
asked for confirmation that using the applicable AMM for these tasks would not require it to obtain
an alternative method of compliance (AMOC).
The FAA agrees that the commenter's intended approach is acceptable for compliance with this
AD and that no AMOC is needed to use the applicable AMM. The AMMs for the affected airplanes
contain adequate instructions for removal and installation of the affected units. No change to this AD
is necessary.

Clarification of Certain Actions

The FAA has revised paragraph (i)(1) of this AD to clarify conditions that require replacement of
a crew oxygen mask stowage box unit, which includes an unreadable or undetermined serial number,
except as otherwise specified.
The FAA has also revised paragraph (j)(1) of this AD to clarify conditions that prohibit the
installation of a crew oxygen mask stowage box unit, which includes an unreadable or undetermined
serial number, except as specified otherwise.

Conclusion

The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air
safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described previously, and
minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the SNPRM for addressing the unsafe
condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the SNPRM.
The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any
operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

This AD requires Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-35A1121, Revision 1, dated November 7,
2011; Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-35A2126, Revision 1, dated September 29, 2011; Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 767-35A0057, Revision 1, dated November 17, 2011; and Intertechnique
Service Bulletin MXP1/4-35-175, Revision 2, dated May 10, 2011; which the Director of the Federal
Register approved for incorporation by reference as of May 20, 2013 (78 FR 22178, April 15, 2013).
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 3,723 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this AD:

Estimated Costs
Action Labor cost Parts Cost per Cost on U.S.
cost product operators
Inspection (retained action from AD 1 work-hour × $85 $0 $85 $3,400
2013-07-09) (40 airplanes) per hour = $85
Inspection (new action) (3,683 1 work-hour × $85 $0 $85 $313,055
airplanes) per hour = $85

The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable providing cost estimates for the on-
condition actions specified in this AD.

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 has 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) 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.
