WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - The head of the Federal

Aviation Administration will tell Congress on Tuesday the agency

will hold Boeing ( BA ) accountable to ensure the planemaker is

building safe airplanes and will revamp its own safety

management program.

"As a result of systemic production quality issues, Boeing ( BA )

must make significant changes to transform its quality system

and ensure the right layers of safety are in place," FAA

Administrator Mike Whitaker will tell a U.S. House aviation

subcommittee. "I am prepared to use the full range of my

authority to ensure accountability whether from a manufacturer,

an air carrier, or the FAA's own operations."
