SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Gulfstream 
Aerospace Corporation (Gulfstream) Models G-1159A (GIII), G-IV, and 
GIV-X airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on 
September 22, 2017 (82 FR 44359). The NPRM was prompted by a report 
from Gulfstream that, during maintenance while replacing flap tracks on 
one of the affected airplanes, it was discovered that certain flap 
tracks were manufactured with the upper flange thickness less than 
design minimum and do not meet design load margins. The NPRM proposed 
to require replacing any defective flap track. We are issuing this AD 
to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing 
this final rule. The following presents the comment received on the 
NPRM and the FAA's response to the comment.

Request To Change the Effective Date

    Gulfstream requested that the effective date be set in-line with 
the service information incorporated by referenced in the proposed AD.
    Gulfstream stated that the compliance time specified in Gulfstream 
III Customer Bulletin Number 187, Gulfstream G450 Customer Bulletin 
Number 195, and Gulfstream IV Customer Bulletin Number 240, all dated 
June 28, 2017, which are the incorporated by reference documents listed 
in the proposed AD, is 12 months from the release date of the service 
information.
    Gulfstream stated that if the AD becomes effective before January 
18, 2018, the compliance time will be less than that allowed in the 
service information.
    We do not agree that the possibility of this AD becoming effective 
before January 18, 2018, will result in a reduced compliance time than 
that allowed in the related service information. We infer that the 
commenter thinks a reduced compliance time would cause an undue burden 
on the owners/operators of the affected airplanes. This AD will not be 
effective until 35 days after publication in the Federal Register; 
therefore, we do not believe there will be any significant difference 
in the allowable compliance time for operators. We have not changed 
this AD based on this comment.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and 
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting 
this final rule as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have 
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the 
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was 
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Gulfstream III Customer Bulletin Number 187, Gulfstream 
G450 Customer Bulletin Number 195, and Gulfstream IV Customer Bulletin 
Number 240, all dated June 28, 2017. The applicable model service 
information describes procedures for replacing any discrepant flap 
track C with an airworthy part. This service information is reasonably 
available because the interested parties have

[[Page 60506]]

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 affects 6 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                                        airplane, for a total
                                                                        of 2 per airplane.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be 
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected 
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected 
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost 
estimate.

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the 
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by 
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is 
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but 
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the 
authority to issue ADs applicable to small airplanes and domestic 
business jet transport airplanes to the Director of the Policy and 
Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

    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.
