a. Removing Airworthiness Directive AD 20050518, Amendment 39
14007 70 FR 12410, March 14, 2005, and b. Adding the following new AD:
The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
d Subject Air Transport Association ATA of America Code 53, Fuselage.
e Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a report of cracks found at several of the fastener rows in the web lap splices at the dome apex of the aft pressure bulkhead, and the determination that airplanes not affected by AD 20050518 are subject to this unsafe condition. The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracks in the webs of the aft pressure bulkhead, which could result in rapid decompression of the airplane.
