SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background The FAA has received a report indicating that a crack was found on the web attachment flange of the center wing upper forward corner fitting. Loose fasteners in the wing station 220 wing joint at the front beam web can cause internal load redistribution and consequent cracked center wing upper and lower corner fittings and failed fasteners in those fittings. This condition, if not addressed, could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane and loss of control of the airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
FAAs Determination The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency has determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Alert Service Bulletin A3825799, Revision 1, dated February 17, 2021. This service information specifies procedures for an eddy current surface scan for cracks of the center wing upper and lower forward corner fittings and fasteners including the exterior of the vertical flange of the corner fitting common to the front beam web and interior surfaces of the corner fitting horizontal and vertical flanges common to the beam cap, a torque check of left and right outer-wing-to-center-wing front-beamweb-joint-splice-angle fasteners including checking for any loose, sheared, broken, or missing fasteners, retorqueing the outer-wing-to-centerwing front-beam-web-joint-splice-angle fasteners, and repair or replacement.
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.

AD Requirements This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in the service information already described, except as discussed under Differences Between this AD and the Service Information.
Differences Between This AD and the Service Information Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Alert Service Bulletin A382
5799, Revision 1, dated February 17, 2021, applies to Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, and 382G airplanes. This AD
applies to Model C130A, C130B, C
130BL, C130E, C130H, C130H30, C130J, C130J30, EC130Q, HC
130H, KC130H, NC130B, NC130, and WC130H airplanes as well as the airplanes specified in Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Alert Service Bulletin A3825799, Revision 1, dated February 17, 2021. The FAA has confirmed that all airplanes identified in paragraph c of this AD can comply with the actions specified in Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Alert Service Bulletin A3825799, Revision 1, dated February 17, 2021.
Impact on Intrastate Aviation in Alaska In light of the heavy reliance on aviation for intrastate transportation in Alaska, the FAA has fully considered the effects of this AD including costs to be borne by affected operators from the earliest possible stages of AD
development. This AD is based on those considerations, and was developed with regard to minimizing the economic impact on operators to the extent possible, consistent with the safety objectives of this AD. In any event, the Federal Aviation Regulations require operators to correct an unsafe condition identified on an airplane to ensure operation of that airplane in an airworthy condition. The FAA has determined in this case that the requirements are necessary and the indirect costs would be outweighed by the safety benefits of the AD.
Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective Date Section 553b3B of the Administrative Procedure Act APA 5
U.S.C. 551 et seq. authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment procedures for rules when the agency, for good cause, finds that those procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. Under this section, an agency, upon finding good cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking comment prior to issuance.
Further, section 553d of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules

effective in less than thirty days, upon a finding of good cause.
An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to adoption.
The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies forgoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because loose fasteners in the wing station 220 wing joint at the front beam web can cause internal load redistribution, and consequent cracked center wing upper and lower corner fittings and failed fasteners in those fittings, resulting in reduced structural integrity of the airplane and loss of control of the airplane. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553b3B.
In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553d for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days, for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forgo notice and comment.
Comments Invited The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under ADDRESSES.
Include Docket No. FAA20210341
and Project Identifier AD202100325
T at the beginning of your comments.
The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this final rule because of those comments.
Except for Confidential Business Information CBI as described in the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to https
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.
Confidential Business Information CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily and actually treated as private by its owner.
Under the Freedom of Information Act FOIA 5 U.S.C. 552, CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to this AD,
