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.

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.

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

We are issuing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of these same 

type designs. This AD requires 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously, except as discussed under 

‘‘Differences Between the AD and the 

Service Information.’’ 

Differences Between the AD and the 

Service Information 

Although the Gulfstream alert 

customer bulletins specified in the table 

titled ‘‘Table 1—Applicable alert 

customer bulletins including airplane 

flight manual (AFM) supplements, and 

AFMs’’ of this AD specify to submit 

information to the manufacturer, this 

AD does not include such a 

requirement. 

Although certain Gulfstream alert 

customer bulletins specified in the table 

titled ‘‘Table 1—Applicable alert 

customer bulletins including airplane 

flight manual (AFM) supplements, and 

AFMs’’ of this AD specify only to 

‘‘inspect’’ for flammable sealant on the 

APU enclosure (firewall), we have 

determined that the procedures in those 

Gulfstream alert customer bulletins 

should be described as a ‘‘general visual 

inspection.’’ Note 1 has been included 

in this AD to define this type of 

inspection. 

Clarification of Statement in 

Gulfstream Alert Customer Bulletins 

The Gulfstream alert customer 

bulletins specified in the table titled 

‘‘Table 1—Applicable alert customer 

bulletins including airplane flight 

manual (AFM) supplements, and 

AFMs’’ of this AD include a statement 

in the Accomplishment Instructions to 

inform operators to contact Gulfstream 

‘‘if technical assistance is required’’ in 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the alert customer bulletins. We have 

included Note 2 in this AD to clarify 

that any deviation from the instructions 

provided in the applicable alert 

customer bulletin must be approved as 

an alternative method of compliance 

under the provisions of paragraph (l) of 

this AD. 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD interim action. If 

final action is later identified, we might 

consider further rulemaking then. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

The use of flammable sealant in the 

construction of the primary APU 

enclosure (firewall) compromises the 

integrity of the enclosure (firewall). If an 

APU fire occurs, the flammable sealant 

can ignite the exterior of the APU 

enclosure (firewall). This area is very 

confined and surrounded by primary 

airframe structure that carries the 

empennage loads. Primary flight 

controls for pitch and yaw are routed 

through the area adjacent to the APU 

enclosure (firewall). Because of our 

requirement to promote safe flight of 

civil aircraft and thus the critical need 

to assure the structural integrity and 

proper functioning of the APU 

enclosure (firewall), and the short 

compliance time involved with this 

action, this AD must be issued 

immediately. 

Because an unsafe condition exists 

that requires the immediate adoption of 

this AD, we find that notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

hereon are impracticable and that good 

cause exists for making this amendment 

effective in less than 30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not provide you with notice and 

an opportunity to provide your 

comments before it becomes effective. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA– 

2009–0683; Directorate Identifier 2009– 

NM–129–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this AD. We will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may amend this AD because of 

those comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 11, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 40063 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

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 

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), 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. 

You can find our regulatory 

evaluation and the estimated costs of 

compliance in the AD Docket.
