## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 757 series airplanes, that requires one-time inspections to verify proper installation and to detect chafing and/or damage of certain rerouted wire bundles; to verify if certain protective grommets are installed properly and to detect missing grommets; and various follow-on actions. This amendment is prompted by a report of smoke and fire in the lower left-hand side of the E1-1 rack of the electrical equipment bay due to chafing of wire bundles as a result of missing protective grommets. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent chafing of wire bundles, which could result in smoke and fire at the E1-1 rack of the electrical equipment bay.
