40060 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 11, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 7, 2008. After carefully 

considering all of the comments, OPM 

has determined that it would be more 

productive to consider the merits of the 

time-in-grade issue as part of a more 

comprehensive review of pay, 

performance, and staffing issue that 

OPM and the Administration are 

conducting in various contexts than to 

regulate one isolated issue in a 

piecemeal fashion. 

This means that the TIG rules remain 

in effect.

Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream 

Model G–IV, GIV–X, and GV–SP Series 

Airplanes and Model GV Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Gulfstream Model G–IV, GIV–X, GV–SP 

series airplanes and Model GV 

airplanes. This AD requires, for certain 

airplanes, a one-time inspection for 

sealant applied to the exterior of the 

auxiliary power unit (APU) enclosure 

(firewall), and, for airplanes with the 

subject sealant and certain other 

airplanes, a revision of the airplane 

flight manual to prohibit operation of 

the APU during certain ground and 

flight operations. This AD results from 

notification from the airplane 

manufacturer that an improper, 

flammable sealant was used on the 

interior and exterior of the APU 

enclosure (firewall). We are issuing this 

AD to prevent this flammable sealant 

from igniting the exterior surfaces of the 

APU enclosure (firewall) under certain 

anomalous conditions such as an APU 

failure/APU compartment fire, which 

could result in propagation of an 

uncontained fire to other critical areas 

of the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective August 26, 

2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of August 26, 2009. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by October 13, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The manufacturer has notified us that 

an improper, flammable sealant (GMS 

4107) was used on interior angles 

formed by sheet intersections and 

titanium sheet mating surfaces of the 

auxiliary power unit (APU) enclosure 

(firewall). This flammable sealant was 

also used to coat rivet heads on the 

interior and exterior surfaces of the APU 

enclosure (firewall). In some places the 

sealant was used by design, and in other 

places it was used in error. This sealant 

could ignite the exterior surfaces of the 

APU enclosure (firewall) under certain 

anomalous conditions such as an APU 

failure/APU compartment fire. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result 

in propagation of an uncontained fire to 

other critical areas of the airplane. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed the Gulfstream alert 

customer bulletins listed in the 

following table. The alert customer 

bulletins for Model G–IV series 

airplanes and Model GV airplanes 

describe procedures for a one-time 

inspection of the APU enclosure 

(firewall) for overcoat application of the 

flammable sealant on rivets or fillet 

seals on panel joints. For Model GIV–X 

and GV–SP series airplanes, and 

airplanes with flammable sealant found 

during the inspection, the alert 

customer bulletins describe revising the 

applicable airplane flight manual (AFM) 

and reporting compliance to Gulfstream.
