The firm failed to meet a deadline to provide fuel tank safety
instructions to airlines, among other issues, the Federal Aviation
Administration said.
Boeing has agreed to pay the fine and take action to improve certification.
The agency said it "does not allege that these issues created unsafe conditions".
"It
is imperative that everyone complies with our aviation system's high
safety standards," said US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
"This agreement is an important step toward ensuring that Boeing fully meets all applicable compliance standards going forward."
The
other violations involve Boeing's delay in addressing incorrectly
shaped fasteners used on airliners, as well as production quality
control problems.
FAA administrator Michael Huerta said: "Boeing
has agreed to implement improvements in its design, planning, production
and maintenance planning processes, and has already implemented several
of these improvements."
