reports and forms are periodically 

reviewed to reduce information 

requirements and duplication by 

industry and public sector agencies. 

USDA has not identified any relevant 

Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or 

conflict with this rule. 

Comments on the interim rule were 

required to be received on or before 

October 19, 2015. No comments were 

received. Therefore, for the reasons 

given in the interim rule, we are 

adopting the interim rule as a final rule, 

without change.

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation 

Model GVI airplanes. This AD requires 

repetitive breakaway torque checks and 

torqueing of the brake inlet self-sealing 

couplings. This AD also requires 

revising the airplane flight manual to 

include procedures to follow in the 

event of certain display indications. 

This AD was prompted by reports of the 

self-sealing couplings on the brake inlet 

fitting that have been found backed out 

of the fully seated position. We are 

issuing this AD to detect and correct 

inadequate torque on the self-sealing 

coupling. This condition could result in 

an unannounced total loss of braking 

capability on one or multiple brakes, 

which could result in a runway overrun 

or asymmetrical braking that can lead to 

a lateral runway excursion. 

DATES: This AD is effective December 4, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of December 4, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We have received reports of selfsealing couplings on the brake inlet 

fitting that have been found backed out 

of the fully seated position. Due to the 

function of these couplings, this issue 

allows for the self-sealing mechanism to 

activate and cut off hydraulic pressure 

to the brake caliper, resulting in reduced 

or no braking ability on the affected 

wheel while the brake pressure 

indications remain normal on the flight 

deck indicators. Multiple coupling 

failures may lead to loss of braking 

capability on more than one wheel, 

creating the potential for loss of aircraft 

braking effectiveness on one or multiple 

brakes. Since the flight deck brake 

pressure indications would appear 

normal under these conditions, the crew 

will have no indications other than the 

loss of braking control on one or 


wgreen on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 233 / Friday, December 4, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 75789 

multiple brakes. Unannounced total loss 

of braking capability on one or multiple 

brakes, could result in a runway overrun 

or asymmetrical braking that can lead to 

a lateral runway excursion. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Gulfstream has issued G650 Alert 

Customer Bulletin 4A, dated November 

13, 2015; and G650ER Alert Customer 

Bulletin 4A, dated November 13, 2015. 

The service information describes 

procedures for a breakaway torque 

check and torqueing the brake inlet selfsealing couplings. This service 

information is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section of this AD. 

FAA’s Determination 

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 the same 

type design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions specified in the service 

information described previously, 

except as discussed under ‘‘Difference 

Between the AD and the Service 

Information.’’ 

Difference Between the AD and the 

Service Information 

Although Gulfstream G650 Alert 

Customer Bulletin 4A, dated November 

13, 2015; and G650ER Alert Customer 

Bulletin 4A, dated November 13, 2015; 

recommend that the breakaway torque 

check and torqueing the brake inlet selfsealing couplings be repeated only one 

time, this AD requires repetitive 

accomplishment of the checks and 

torqueing of the brake inlet self-sealing 

coupling at intervals not to exceed 100 

flight cycles. We have determined 

repetitive actions are necessary to 

address the identified unsafe condition. 

We have coordinated this difference 

with Gulfstream. 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD interim action. 

The manufacturer is currently 

developing a modification that will 

address the unsafe condition identified 

in this AD and would terminate the 

repetitive actions in this AD. Once this 

modification is developed, approved, 

and available, we might consider 

additional rulemaking. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because an unannounced total loss 

of braking capability on one or multiple 

brakes can cause a runway overrun or 

asymmetrical braking that can lead to a 

lateral runway excursion. Therefore, we 

find that notice and opportunity for 

prior public comment 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 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. 

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 the docket number 

FAA–2015–6546 and Directorate 

Identifier 2015–NM–179–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 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Explanation of ‘‘RC’’ Steps in Service 

Information 

The FAA worked in conjunction with 

industry, under the Airworthiness 

Directive Implementation Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee (ARC), to 

enhance the AD system. One 

enhancement was a new process for 

annotating which steps in the service 

information are required for compliance 

with an AD. Differentiating these steps 

from other tasks in the service 

information is expected to improve an 

owner’s/operator’s understanding of 

crucial AD requirements and help 

provide consistent judgment in AD 

compliance. The steps identified as 

Required for Compliance (RC) in any 

service information identified 

previously have a direct effect on 

detecting, preventing, resolving, or 

eliminating an identified unsafe 

condition. 

For service information that contains 

steps that are labeled as RC, the 

following provisions apply: (1) The 

steps labeled as RC, including substeps 

under an RC step and any figures 

identified in an RC step, must be done 

to comply with the AD, and an AMOC 

is required for any deviations to RC 

steps, including substeps and identified 

figures; and (2) steps not labeled as RC 

may be deviated from using accepted 

methods in accordance with the 

operator’s maintenance or inspection 

program without obtaining approval of 

an AMOC, provided the RC steps, 

including substeps and identified 

figures, can still be done as specified, 

and the airplane can be put back in an 

airworthy condition. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 120 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators 

Breakaway torque check and torqueing of 

inlet self-sealing couplings.

2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 per 

check/torque cycle.

$170 per check/torque 

cycle.

$20,400 per check/torque 

cycle. 

AFM revision .............................................. 1 work-hour × $85 ................................... $85 ..................................... $10,200. 

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, 


wgreen on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
75790 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 233 / Friday, December 4, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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), 

(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.

Homeless Emergency Assistance and 

Rapid Transition to Housing: Defining 

‘‘Chronically Homeless’’ 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule establishes the 

definition of ‘‘chronically homeless’’ 

that will be used in HUD’s Continuum 

of Care Program, and in the 

Consolidated Submissions for 

Community Planning and Development 

Programs. This definition has been the 

subject of significant public comment 

which has guided HUD in establishing 

the definition of ‘‘chronically homeless’’ 

that will be used in its homeless 

assistance programs. The final rule also 

establishes the necessary recordkeeping 

requirements that correspond to the 

definition of ‘‘chronically homeless’’ for 

the Continuum of Care Program. 

Historically, other programs within 

HUD, as well as other agencies such as 

the United States Interagency Council 

on Homelessness and the Department of 

Veteran Affairs, have adopted HUD’s 

definition of chronically homeless and
