## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports indicating cracks in the bear strap and stub frame at the forward galley door cutout. This AD requires inspections for existing repairs; an inspection for any crack of the fuselage skin, bear strap, and stub frame; repetitive inspections for any crack of the bear strap and stub frame; and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
