Supplementary Information

On December 26, 2007, we issued AD 2008-01- 01, which applies to certain Model 737-200, -300, -400, -500, -600, - 700, -800, and -900 series airplanes; Model 747-400 series airplanes; Model 757-200 and 757-300 series airplanes; Model 767-200, 767-300, and 767-400ER series airplanes; and Model 777-200 series airplanes. \n\nBackground \n\n\tWe have received a report indicating that a feature of the flight deck door is defective. This condition, if not corrected, could result in a failure of the feature, which could jeopardize flight safety. \n\nRelevant Service Information \n\n\tWe reviewed the following service bulletins: \n\nTable--Service Bulletins\n\n\nJamco Service Bulletin -\nFor Model -\n52-2295, Revision 1, dated October 10, 2007\n737-200 -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -800, and -900 series airplanes\n52-2302, Revision 1, dated October 10, 2007\n767-200, -300, and -400ER series airplanes\n52-2303, Revision 1, dated October 10, 2007\n747-400 series airplanes\n52-2304, Revision 2, dated November 1, 2007\n757-200 and -300 series airplanes\n52-2305, Revision 1, dated October 10, 2007\n777-200 series airplanes\n\n\tThe service bulletins describe procedures for replacing a certain flight deck door feature and revising the modification record placard. \n\nFAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD \n\n\tSince the unsafe condition described is likely to exist or develop on other airplanes of these same type designs, we issued AD 2008-01-01 to prevent the failure of a certain feature of the flight deck door. The AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in the service information previously described. \n\tWe found that notice and opportunity for prior public comment on AD 2008-01-01 were contrary to the public interest, and good cause existed to make the AD effective immediately by individual notices issued on December 26, 2007, to all known U.S. owners and operators of certain Model 737-200, -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -800, and -900series airplanes; Model 747-400 series airplanes; Model 757-200 and 757-300 series airplanes; Model 767-200, 767-300, and 767-400ER series airplanes; and Model 777-200 series airplanes. These conditions still exist, and the AD is hereby published in the Federal Register as an amendment to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.13) to make it effective to all persons. \n\nComments Invited \n\n\tThis AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to provide your comments before it becomes effective. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include "Docket No. FAA-2010-0638; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-333-AD" at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will considerall comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of those comments. \n\tWe will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this AD. \n\nAuthority for This Rulemaking \n\n\tTitle 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. \n\tWe are 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. \n\nRegulatory Findings \n\n\tThis 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. \n\tFor the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD: \n\t(1) Is not a "significant regulatory action" under Executive Order 12866, \n\t(2) Is not a "significant rule" under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and \n\t(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. \n\tYou can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of compliance in the AD Docket. \n\nList of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 \n\n\tAir transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. \n\nAdoption of the Amendment \n\nAccordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: \n\nPART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES \n\n1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: \n\n\tAuthority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. \n\nSec. 39.13 (Amended) \n\n2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD):
