FAA-2019-0478; Product Identifier 2019-NM-040-AD; Amendment 39-19817; AD 2020-01-11] RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive
(AD)2017-12-07, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes. AD 2017-12-07 required replacing the affected left temperature control valve and control cabin trim air modulating valve. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2017-12-07, expands the applicability to include additional airplanes, and adds a new requirement for certain airplanes to identify and replace the affected parts. This AD was prompted by reports of in-flight failure of the left temperature control valve and control cabin trim air modulating valve. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective February 21, 2020. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 20, 2017 (82 FR 27416, June 15, 2017). ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule, contact Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Attention: Contractual & Data Services (C&DS), 2600 Westminster Blvd., MC 110-SK57, Seal Beach, CA 90740-5600; telephone 562-797-1717; internet *https://www.myboeingfleet.com.* You may view this service information at the FAA, Transport Standards Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA.

The AD docket contains this final rule, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information. The address for Docket Operations is U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julie Moon, Aerospace Engineer, Cabin Safety and Environmental Systems Section, FAA, Seattle ACO Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198; phone and fax: 206-231-3571; email: *julie.moon@faa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM)to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2017-12-07, Amendment 39-18922 (82 FR 27416, June 15, 2017) (“AD 2017-12-07”), for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes. The NPRM published in the **Federal Register** on July 8, 2019 (84 FR 32341). The NPRM was prompted by reports of in-flight failure of the left temperature control valve and control cabin trim air modulating valve, and a determination that the affected parts may be installed on airplanes outside the applicability of AD 2017-12-07. The NPRM proposed to retain the requirements of AD 2017-12-07, expand the applicability to include those other airplanes, and add a new requirement for certain airplanes to identify and replace the affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the possible occurrence of temperatures in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the flight deck or the passenger cabin during cruise, which could lead to the impairment of the flightcrew and prevent continued safe flight and landing. Comments The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment. Support for the NPRM United Airlines; The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA); Boeing; Southwest Airlines; and Patrick Imperatrice expressed support for the NPRM. Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions Aviation Partners Boeing stated that the installation of winglets per Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC)ST00830SE does not affect the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions. The FAA agrees with the commenter that STC ST00830SE does not affect the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions. Therefore, the installation of STC ST00830SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD. This AD has not been changed regarding this issue. Request To Allow Future Part Numbers Without Alternate Method of Compliance
(AMOC)Southwest Airlines requested that the FAA allow future valve part numbers to be installed without the need for an AMOC, because the unsafe condition only exists when a part number (P/N) 398908-4 valve is installed in the left temperature control or control cabin trim air modulating position. The FAA disagrees with the commenter's request because the only valve part numbers currently approved as replacements for P/N 398908-4 are P/Ns 398908-3 and 398908-5. These approved part numbers must be installed to address the identified unsafe condition. If additional part numbers are approved as design changes in the future, the design approval holder or operator may request approval of an AMOC using the procedures in paragraph
(j)of this AD. This AD has not been changed regarding this issue. Conclusion The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed, except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes: • Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and • Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 This AD requires Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-21A1203, dated June 8, 2016, which the Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of July 20, 2017 (82 FR 27416, June 15, 2017). 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 2,027 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD: Estimated Costs for Required Actions Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators Inspection/records check (new actions) (up to 1,708 airplanes) 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 $0 $85 Up to $145,180. Replacement (retained actions from AD 2017-12-07) (up to 319 airplanes) 9 work-hours × $85 per hour = $765 4,800 5,565 Up to $1,775,235. The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary replacements that would be required based on the results of the inspection or records check. The FAA has no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these replacements: On-Condition Costs Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Replacement 9 work-hours × $85 per hour = $765 $4,800 $5,565 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. This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1.
