AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Gulfstream Aerospace LP (Type 

Certificate Previously Held by Israel 

Aircraft Industries, Ltd.) Model 

Gulfstream G150 airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by a review 

that determined that the runway slope 

and anti-ice corrections to V1 and takeoff distances in the Gulfstream G150 

Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) were 

presented in a non-conservative 

manner. This proposed AD would 

require revising the performance section 

of the AFM to include procedures to 

advise the flightcrew of certain runway 

slope and anti-ice corrections and takeoff distance values. We are proposing 

this AD to prevent the use of published 

non-conservative data, which could 

result in the inability to meet the 

required take-off performance, with 

consequent hazard to safe operation 

during performance-limited take-off 

operations. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by November 5, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to

Discussion 

The Civil Aviation Authority of Israel 

(CAAI), which is the aviation authority 

for Israel, has issued Israeli 

Airworthiness Directive 01–12–02–02, 

dated March 2, 2012 (referred to after 

this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

This [Israeli] AD mandates revised 

limitations in the G150 AFM, pertaining to 

the Performance Section. Each operator must 

incorporate Temporary Rev.3 to the G150 

AFM. 

The unsafe condition is the use of 

published non-conservative data, which 

could result in the inability to meet the 

required take-off performance, with 

consequent hazard to safe operation 

during performance-limited take-off 

operations. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Gulfstream has issued Gulfstream 

G150 Temporary Revision 3, dated 

December 14, 2011, to Section V, 

Performance, of the Gulfstream G150 

AFM. The actions described in this 

service information are intended to 

correct the unsafe condition identified 

in the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 56 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of the 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$4,760, or $85 per product. 

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 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 this 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); 

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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD:

Industries, Ltd.): Docket No. FAA–2012– 

0986; Directorate Identifier 2012–NM– 

077–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by November 

5, 2012. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Gulfstream Aerospace 

LP (Type Certificate previously held by Israel 

Aircraft Industries, Ltd.) Model Gulfstream 

G150 airplanes; certificated in any category; 

all serial numbers. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 01, Operations information. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a review that 

determined that the runway slope and antiice corrections to V1 and take-off distances in 

the G150 Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) were 

presented in a non-conservative manner. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent the use of 

published non-conservative data, which 

could result in the inability to meet the 

required take-off performance, with 

consequent hazard to safe operation during 

performance-limited take-off operations. 

(f) Compliance 

You are responsible for having the actions 

required by this AD performed within the 

compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(g) AFM Revision 

Within 60 days after the effective date of 

this AD, revise Section V, Performance, of the 

Gulfstream G150 AFM to include the 

information in Gulfstream G150 Temporary 

Revision 3, dated December 14, 2011. This 

TR introduces corrections for runway slope. 

Operate the airplane according to the 

procedures in the TR. 

Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD: This 

may be done by inserting copies of 

Gulfstream G150 TR Revision 3, dated 

December 14, 2011, in the AFM. When this 

TR has been included in general revisions of 

the AFM, the general revisions may be 

inserted in the AFM, provided the relevant 

information in the general revision is 

identical to that in Gulfstream G150 TR 

Revision 3, dated December 14, 2011, and the 

TR may be removed.

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 737–300, 

737–400, 737–500, and 757–200 series 

airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a report of damage caused 

by electrical arcing to the wires that 

connect seat electronics boxes (SEBs). 

This proposed AD would require 

installing a new relay and doing certain 

wiring changes of the entertainment 

control switch if necessary. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent power 

from being supplied to passenger seats 

when the entertainment control switch 

is in the OFF position, which could 

cause an electrical shock hazard 

resulting in serious or fatal injury to 

maintenance personnel. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by November 5, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
