COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice of Proposed Rule Making 2019-NM-098-AD, is related to Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1383 RB.

Effects of this Revision on airplanes on which the Original Issue was previously done:

ActionConditionGroup The more work is to do as follows:No crack was found.

All airplanes that have done Option 2, Condition 4 (no external repair and have done the external Low Frequency Eddy Current (LFEC) inspection of the forward galley door bear strap and external High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection of the fuselage skin for any crack).

Do the external LFEC inspection of the forward galley door bear strap and external HFEC inspection of the fuselage skin for any crack in accordance with FIG- URE 4.

Before 15,000 total flight cycles or Within 6,000 flight cycles after the original issue date of Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1383 RB Whichever occurs later.

REASON FOR REVISION This revision is sent to correct thickness callouts for the fuselage skin and bear strap.

These sections in the Requirements Bulletin (RB) were changed:

1. In Paragraph 1.A.1. Airplanes, added effectivity variable number tables.

2. In Paragraph 3. COMPLIANCE, added Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice of Proposed Rule Making 2019-NM-098-AD.

3. In Paragraph 3. COMPLIANCE, B. WORK INSTRUCTIONS and Figures 2-4, changed "skin" to "fuselage skin".

4. In Figure 4, Footnote (a), changed fuselage skin and bear strap thickness callouts and removed gap cover thickness.
