**Background**
On May 16, 1986, the Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service, issued Policy Statement Number PS-ANM100-1986-00051, *Policy Regarding Use of H-11 Bolts in Primary Structure on Transport Airplanes.* This policy statement addressed the adverse service history on H-11 bolts used in primary structure.

As a result of the issuance of AC 20-127, Policy Statement Number PS-ANM100-1986-00051 is no longer in effect and is herewith cancelled.
Issued in Renton, Washington, on March 1, 2016.
