WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) - The acting head of the

Federal Aviation Administration said he is not currently

considering lifting a production cap of 38 planes per month on

Boeing's ( BA ) 737 MAX imposed after a January 2024 mid-air emergency

involving a new Alaska Airlines Boeing plane missing

four key bolts.

"Not at this time," Acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau

told reporters after a U.S. House hearing. He also said he was

not discussing a change to the agency's policy of inspecting all

Boeing 737 MAXs and 787 Dreamliners before issuing

airworthiness certificates for individual planes, rather than

delegating those tasks to Boeing ( BA ).

The FAA last week -- in a decision first reported by Reuters

-- extended by three years a program that allows Boeing ( BA ) to

perform some tasks on the agency's behalf like inspections,

saying the planemaker had made improvements.
