Boeing Defense and Space Group Model 234 Helicopters AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT. ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. SUMMARY: This document publishes in the **Federal Register** an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive

(AD)2004-06-51, which was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of Boeing Defense and Space Group (Boeing) Model 234 helicopters by individual letters. This AD requires, before further flight, inspecting the upper shaft extension for a crack and modifying the aft vertical shaft assembly (assembly). Thereafter, this AD requires, before the first flight of each day, inspecting the upper shaft extension for any crack. If any crack is found during any of the inspections, replacing the assembly with an airworthy assembly is required before further flight. This amendment is prompted by the discovery of a crack in the upper shaft extension of an assembly. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect a crack in the upper shaft extension, which could result in catastrophic failure of the assembly and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. DATES: Effective June 18, 2004, to all persons except those persons to whom it was made immediately effective by Emergency AD 2004-06-51, issued on March 18, 2004, which contained the requirements of this amendment. Comments for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before August 2, 2004. ADDRESSES: Submit comments in triplicate to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Office of the Regional Counsel, Southwest Region, Attention: Rules Docket No. 2004-SW-09-AD, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Room 663, Fort Worth, Texas 76137. You may also send comments electronically to the Rules Docket at the following address: *9-asw-adcomments@faa.gov.* FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Duckett, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, New York Aircraft Certification Office, Airframe and Propulsion Branch, 1600 Stewart Ave., suite 410, Westbury, New York 11590, telephone

(516)794-5531. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 18, 2004, the FAA issued Emergency AD 2004-06-51 for the specified model helicopters, which requires, before further flight, inspecting the upper shaft extension for a crack and modifying the assembly. Thereafter, the AD requires, before the first flight of each day, inspecting the upper shaft extension for any crack. If any crack is found during any of the inspections, replacing the assembly with an airworthy assembly is required before further flight. That action was prompted by the discovery of a crack in the upper shaft extension of an assembly. The discovery was made by an operator who was in the process of troubleshooting a lateral vibration and noticed a slight wobble in the assembly when the rotors were turned by hand. The manufacturer subsequently determined that the crack initiated at an arc burn that occurred during the silver-plating process of the part. The actions specified by the AD are intended to detect a crack in the upper shaft extension, which could result in catastrophic failure of the assembly and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. The FAA has reviewed Boeing BV234 Service Bulletin No. 234-63-1055, Revision 2, dated March 16, 2004, which describes procedures for inspecting the inside diameter surfaces of the 114D3248 upper shaft extension of the 234D3300 aft vertical shaft assembly for cracks. The service bulletin also describes procedures for fabricating and installing an aluminum inspection plug. Further, the service bulletin provides for recurring inspections. Since the unsafe condition described is likely to exist or develop on other Boeing Model 234 helicopters of the same type design, the FAA issued Emergency AD 2004-06-51. The AD requires, before further flight, inspecting the upper shaft extension for a crack and, if no crack is found, modifying the assembly. Thereafter, before the first flight of each day, inspecting the upper shaft extension for any crack is required. If any crack is found during any of the inspections, replacing the assembly with an airworthy assembly is required before further flight. The requirements of the AD are interim actions that are necessary until an arc-burn free replacement assembly is installed. The short compliance time involved is required because the previously described critical unsafe condition can adversely affect the structural integrity and controllability of the helicopter. Therefore, the actions previously described are required before further flight and before the first flight of each day, and this AD must be issued immediately. Since it was found that immediate corrective action was required, notice and opportunity for prior public comment thereon were impracticable and contrary to the public interest, and good cause existed to make the AD effective immediately by individual letters issued on March 18, 2004 to all known U.S. owners and operators of Boeing Model 234 helicopters. These conditions still exist, and the AD is hereby published in the **Federal Register** as an amendment to 14 CFR 39.13 to make it effective to all persons. The FAA estimates that this AD will affect 7 helicopters of U.S. registry. The required actions will take approximately 17 1/2 work hours per helicopter to accomplish (4 1/2 work hours for the initial inspection and modification, 1 work hour for each recurring inspection, and 12 work hours to replace an assembly, if necessary), at an average labor rate of $65 per work hour. Required parts will cost approximately $250,000 per assembly. Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost impact of the AD on U.S. operators to be $1,871,257.50 (assuming $2,047.50 for each initial inspection and modification, $113,750 for 250 recurring inspections on each helicopter, $1,755,460 to replace one assembly on each helicopter, and negligible parts costs associated with the modifications and inspections). Comments Invited Although this action is in the form of a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety and, thus, was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public comment, comments are invited on this rule. Interested persons are invited to comment on this rule by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they may desire. Communications should identify the Rules Docket number and be submitted in triplicate to the address specified under the caption ADDRESSES. All communications received on or before the closing date for comments will be considered, and this rule may be amended in light of the comments received. Factual information that supports the commenter's ideas and suggestions is extremely helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of the AD action and determining whether additional rulemaking action would be needed. Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might suggest a need to modify the rule. All comments submitted will be available in the Rules Docket for examination by interested persons. A report that summarizes each FAA-public contact concerned with the substance of this AD will be filed in the Rules Docket. Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their mailed comments submitted in response to this rule must submit a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: “Comments to Docket No. 2004-SW-09-AD.” The postcard will be date stamped and returned to the commenter. The regulations adopted herein 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. Therefore, it is determined that this final rule does not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. The FAA has determined that this regulation is an emergency regulation that must be issued immediately to correct an unsafe condition in aircraft, and that it is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866. It has been determined further that this action involves an emergency regulation under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979). If it is determined that this emergency regulation otherwise would be significant under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures, a final regulatory evaluation will be prepared and placed in the Rules Docket. A copy of it, if filed, may be obtained from the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption ADDRESSES. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. Section 39.13 is amended by adding a new airworthiness directive to read as follows: **2004-06-51 Boeing Defense and Space Group:** Amendment 39-13651.
