[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 69 (Wednesday, April 12, 2017)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 17533-17537] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-06962] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA-2014-0651; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-043-AD; Amendment 39-18850; AD 2017-08-01] RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-22-19 for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GV and GV-SP airplanes. AD 2013-22-19 required inspecting to determine if fuel boost pumps having a certain part number were installed, replacing the fuel boost pumps having a certain part number, and revising the airplane maintenance program to include revised Instructions for Continued Airworthiness. This new AD reduces the compliance time for revising the airplane maintenance or inspection program. This AD was prompted by reports of two independent types of failure of the fuel boost pump with overheat damage found on the internal components and external housing on one of the failure types, and fuel leakage on the other. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective May 17, 2017. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 17, 2017. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of January 7, 2014 (78 FR 72554, December 3, 2013).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2013-22-19, Amendment 39-17651 (78 FR 72554, December 3, 2013) (``AD 2013-22-19''). AD 2013-22-19 applied to all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GV and GV-SP airplanes. The SNPRM published in the Federal Register on December 24, 2015 (80 FR 80295). We preceded the SNPRM with a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that published in the Federal Register on October 1, 2014 (79 FR 59162) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM proposed to supersede AD 2013-22-19. The NPRM was prompted by reports of two independent types of failure of the fuel boost pump with overheat damage on the internal components and external housing on one of the failure types, and fuel leakage on the other. The SNPRM proposed to reduce the compliance time for revising the airplane maintenance or inspection program. We are issuing this [[Page 17534]] AD to prevent fuel leakage in combination with a capacitor clearance issue, which could result in an uncontrolled fire in the wheel well. Comments We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. The following presents the comments received on the SNPRM and the FAA's response to each comment. Request for Access to Earlier Revisions of the Service Information NetJets requested that we provide a source for earlier revisions of the required service information. NetJets stated that the NPRM specifies that the required service information is available from Gulfstream's Web site. NetJets stated that the Gulfstream Web site currently provides only the latest revision of each airplane maintenance manual (AMM) without the option to obtain earlier revisions, which will be incorporated by reference (IBR) in the AD. We acknowledge NetJets' request. While previous revisions of the service information are not available through Gulfstream's Web site, operators may contact Gulfstream directly to obtain this information as specified in paragraph (p)(5) of this AD. We have updated this AD to reference the latest service information, which is available to operators through Gulfstream's Web site. We have not changed this final rule regarding this issue. Request To Change the Term ``Replacing'' in Paragraph (b) of the Proposed AD NetJets requested that we define the authority and meaning of the term ``replaces'' in regards to ADs. NetJets also requested that we revise the FAA's AD Manual, dated May 17, 2010 (FAA-IR-M-8040.1C). NetJets stated that ``replaces'' is not defined in the FAA's AD Manual or in other FAA guidance. NetJets commented that the FAA AD Manual defines the means of changing existing AD requirements to be through a ``superseding AD action.'' NetJets also stated that the SUMMARY section of the SNRPM also uses the term ``supersede.'' We agree to clarify the use of the term ``replaces'' in regards to ADs. The term ``replaces'' in paragraph (b) of this AD is amendatory terminology required by the Office of the Federal Register. However, we use the term ``supersede'' or ``superseding'' in the SUMMARY section of AD actions because the FAA's AD Manual, dated May 17, 2010 (FAA-IR-M- 8040.1C), does not use the term ``replaces'' when referring to an AD that supersedes or is superseded by another AD. As stated in the FAA AD Manual, we issue a supersedure when we need to correct an error that affects the substance of the AD or to expand the scope of the existing AD. We expect that the next revision of the FAA's AD Manual will incorporate the amendatory terminology required by the Office of the Federal Register. No change to this AD is necessary in this regard. Request To Revise the SNPRM for Airplanes Inspected Under 14 CFR 91.409(e) An anonymous commenter requested that we revise paragraph (i) of the proposed AD (in the SNPRM) to include a statement that the proposed requirements would not be required for those airplanes inspected under a 14 CFR 91.409(e) inspection program. The commenter stated that Task 28-26-01 is already mandated by the FAA-approved Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS), which already mandates the task to be performed per the requirements of the ALS. Therefore, the commenter asserts that paragraph (i) of the proposed AD (in the SNPRM) is unnecessary for airplanes inspected under a 14 CFR 91.409(e) inspection program. We disagree with the commenter's request. While 14 CFR 91.409(e) requires operators of turbojet multi-engine airplanes to comply with the replacement times of life-limited parts, 14 CFR 91.409(e) does not require operators to use later revisions of the AMMs that are specified in the type certificate. This AD is necessary in order to require revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to include the fuel leak check inspection of the fuel boost pumps specified in the applicable task identified in paragraph (j) of this AD. Paragraph (j) of this AD identifies specific revisions of the AMM, which are required for compliance with this AD. We have not changed this AD in this regard. Requests To Refer To Correct Location of Task NetJets and an anonymous commenter requested that we revise paragraph (j) of the proposed AD (in the SNPRM) to refer to table 12, Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR), in section 05-10-10, Airworthiness Limitations, of chapter 05, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, of the applicable Gulfstream AMM. NetJets stated that paragraph (j) of the proposed AD (in the SNPRM) instead specifies the use of table 18, 500 Flight Hours Scheduled Inspection Table, in section 05- 20-00, Scheduled Maintenance Checks. NetJets and the anonymous commenter stated that this task does not exist in section 05-20-00 of the current AMM; it is now found in table 12, Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR), in section 05-10-10, Airworthiness Limitations, of chapter 05, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, of the applicable Gulfstream AMM. We agree with the commenters' requests for the reasons stated above. We have updated paragraphs (j)(1), (j)(2), and (j)(3) of this AD to refer to the correct table and section where the specified task is found. In addition, we have added paragraph (k) to this AD to provide credit for actions specified in paragraph (i) of this AD that are done before the effective date of this AD using the service information specified in paragraph (k) of this AD. We have re-designated subsequent paragraphs accordingly. Request To Add ``or Later FAA-Approved Revision'' NetJets requested that we revise paragraph (j) of the proposed AD (in the SNPRM) to add ``or later FAA-approved revision.'' NetJets stated that section 05-20-00, Scheduled Maintenance Checks, of chapter 05, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks; and task 28-26-01, Fuel Boost Pumps--Fuel Leak Check, of chapter 28, Fuel; of the Gulfstream V AMM are now at Revision 44, dated June 15, 2016. NetJets commented that referring to a previous revision of the AMM would result in an immediate petition for approval of an alternate method of compliance (AMOC) with the newly revised document. NetJets stated that this narrow language would require the operator to obtain an AMOC for each future revision of the AMM. NetJets further requested that, if the ``later approved revisions'' language cannot be added, the latest revisions of the AMMs be added as a method of compliance in paragraph (j) of the proposed AD. We disagree with the commenter's request to add language allowing use of later revisions. We cannot use the phrase ``or later FAA- approved revisions'' in an AD when referring to the service document. Doing so violates Office of the Federal Register's (OFR) regulations for approval of materials ``incorporated by reference'' in rules. See 1 CFR 51.1(f). However, as we stated previously, we have updated this AD to refer to the current service information. Operators must request approval to use later revisions of the service information as an AMOC with this AD under the provisions of paragraph (n) of this AD. We have made no further change to this AD in this regard. [[Page 17535]] Conclusion We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the SNPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the SNPRM. We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD. Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51 We reviewed Gulfstream G500 Customer Bulletin 122, dated April 11, 2012 (for Model GV-SP airplanes designated as G500). This service information describes procedures for inspecting and replacing the fuel boost pumps. We have also reviewed the following service information, as applicable, which describes, among other actions, a fuel leak check of the fuel boost pumps, and provides inspection intervals. These service documents are unique because they apply to different airplane models. Table 12, Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR), in section 05-10-10, Airworthiness Limitations, of chapter 05, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, of the Gulfstream V Maintenance Manual, Revision 44, dated June 15, 2016.

Table 12, Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR), in section 05-10-10, Airworthiness Limitations, of chapter 05, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, of the Gulfstream G500 Maintenance Manual, Revision 25, dated June 15, 2016. Task 28-26-01, Fuel Boost Pumps--Fuel Leak Check, of section 28-26-01, Fuel Boost Pumps--Fuel Leak Checks, of chapter 28, Fuel, of the Gulfstream G500 Maintenance Manual, Revision 25, dated June 15, 2016. Table 12, Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR), in section 05-10-10, Airworthiness Limitations, of chapter 05, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, of the Gulfstream G550 Maintenance Manual, Revision 25, dated June 15, 2016. Task 28-26-01, Fuel Boost Pumps--Fuel Leak Check, of section 28-26-01, Fuel Boost Pumps--Inspection/Check, of chapter 28, Fuel, of the Gulfstream G550 Maintenance Manual, Revision 25, dated June 15, 2016. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section. Costs of Compliance We estimate that this AD will affect 357 airplanes of U.S. registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD: Estimated Costs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost per Cost on U.S. Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspection to determine if a certain 1 work-hour x $85 per $0 $85 $30,345 part number is installed (retained hour = $85. actions from AD 2013-22-19). Maintenance or inspection program 1 work-hour x $85 per 0 85 30,345 revision (new action). hour = $85. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements that will be required based on the results of the inspection. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these replacements: On-Condition Cost ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost per Action Labor cost Parts cost product ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Replacement.................................. 24 work-hours x $85 per hour = $7,600 $9,640 $2,040. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authority for This Rulemaking Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority. We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action. Regulatory Findings We have determined that this AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866, (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
