work hours per airplane, at an average 

labor rate of $65 per work hour. 

Required parts would cost about $1,784 

per airplane. Based on these figures, the 

estimated cost of the proposed AD for 

U.S. operators is $1,221,120, or $2,304 

per airplane. 

Regulatory Findings 

We have determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

3. 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD. See the ADDRESSES

section for a location to examine the 

regulatory evaluation.

Discussion 

The Civil Aviation Administration of 

Israel (CAAI), which is the 

airworthiness authority for Israel, 

notified us that an unsafe condition may 

exist on certain Gulfstream Aerospace 

LP Model Galaxy and Gulfstream 200 

airplanes. The CAAI advises that several 

operators have reported loss of oxygen 

system pressure caused by the 

separation of the flexible supply lines of 

the flightcrew oxygen mask boxes. If 

this condition is not corrected, oxygen 

could be unavailable to the flightcrew. 

Relevant Service Information 

Gulfstream has issued Alert Service 

Bulletin 200–35A–202, Revision 1, 

dated August 27, 2003. The service 

bulletin describes procedures for: 

• Repetitive inspections for damage 

of the flexible supply lines of the pilot 

and copilot oxygen mask boxes; 

• Replacement of any damaged line 

either with a new or serviceable flexible 

hose that has the same part number, or 

with a new rigid tube; and 

• Eventual replacement of the flexible 

supply lines with new rigid tubes, 

which would eliminate the need for the 

repetitive inspections. 

Accomplishing the actions specified 

in the service information is intended to 

adequately address the unsafe 

condition. The CAAI mandated the 

service information and issued Israeli 

airworthiness directive 35–03–07–12, 

dated July 21, 2003, to ensure the 

continued airworthiness of these 

airplanes in Israel. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the Proposed AD 

These airplane models are 

manufactured in Israel and are type 

certificated for operation in the United 

States under the provisions of section 

21.29 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and the 

applicable bilateral airworthiness 

agreement. Pursuant to this bilateral 

airworthiness agreement, the CAAI has 

kept the FAA informed of the situation 

described above. We have examined the 

CAAI’s findings, evaluated all pertinent 

information, and determined that we 

need to issue an AD for products of this 

type design that are certificated for 

operation in the United States. 

Therefore, we are proposing this AD, 

which would require accomplishing the 

actions specified in the service 

information described previously, 

except as discussed below. 

Differences Between the Proposed AD 

and the Service Information/Israeli 

Airworthiness Directive 

This proposed AD and the service 

bulletin specify repetitive inspections 

and eventual replacement of the supply 

lines. The CAAI, however, has 

mandated only the replacement. We 

find it necessary to require the interim 

repetitive inspections to ensure the 

safety of the fleet until the replacement 

can be completed. 

Although the service bulletin 

specifies completing a service reply 

card, this proposed AD would not 

require that action. 

The service bulletin specifies a 

‘‘visual inspection’’ of the supply lines. 

We have determined that this inspection 

should be considered a ‘‘general visual 

inspection,’’ which is defined in Note 1 

of this proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

The following table provides the 

estimated costs for U.S. operators to 

comply with this proposed AD.

Regulatory Findings 

We have determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

3. 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD. See the ADDRESSES

section for a location to examine the 

regulatory evaluation.

inspection for damage of the flexible supply 

lines of the pilot and copilot oxygen mask 

boxes. Use the Accomplishment Instructions 

of Gulfstream Alert Service Bulletin 200–

35A–202, Revision 1, dated August 27, 2003, 

to do the inspection. If any damage is found, 

perform corrective actions before further 

flight in accordance with the service bulletin. 

All replacement parts must be new or 

serviceable. Repeat the inspection thereafter 

at intervals not to exceed 50 flight hours until 

the replacement required by paragraph (g) of 

this AD has been done.

Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a 

general visual inspection is: ‘‘A visual 

examination of an interior or exterior area, 

installation, or assembly to detect obvious 

damage, failure, or irregularity. This level of 

inspection is made from within touching 

distance unless otherwise specified. A mirror 

may be necessary to ensure visual access to 

all surfaces in the inspection area. This level 

of inspection is made under normally 

available lighting conditions such as 

daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or 

droplight and may require removal or 

opening of access panels or doors. Stands, 

ladders, or platforms may be required to gain 

proximity to the area being checked.’’

Replacement 

(g) Within 300 flight hours after the 

effective date of this AD, replace the flexible 

supply lines with new rigid tubes, in 

accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Gulfstream Alert Service 

Bulletin 200–35A–202, Revision 1, dated 

August 27, 2003. This replacement 

terminates the repetitive inspection 

requirement of paragraph (f) of this AD.
