SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain GROB–WERKE Models 

G115EG and G120A airplanes. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on October 23, 2014 (79 FR 

63340). The NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products and was based on mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI) originated by an aviation 

authority of another country. The MCAI 

states: 

An operator of a G 115E aeroplane 

experienced a total loss of electrical power in 

flight. The root cause was found to be a 

defective starter solenoid causing an internal 

short circuit, which resulted in breakdown of 

the system voltage. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could result in reduced control of 

the aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

GROB Aircraft AG issued Service Bulletin 

(SB) MSB1078–196 for G 115 aeroplanes and 

SB MSB1121–144 for G 120 aeroplanes to 

provide instructions for inspection and 

corrective action. 

For the reason described above, this AD 

requires a one-time inspection of the starter 

solenoid and, depending on the findings, 

replacement of the starter. 

A technical solution is currently under 

development and further AD action may 

follow. 

The MCAI can be found in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0848- 

0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 63340, October 23, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

156 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 2 / Monday, January 5, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

63340, October 23, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 63340, 

October 23, 2014). 

Interim Action 

We consider this AD interim action. 

GROB Aircraft is currently working on 

a final technical solution to resolve the 

unsafe condition. If final action is later 

identified, we might consider further 

rulemaking. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 6 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 4 workhours per product to comply with the 

basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Based on these figures, we estimate 

the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to 

be $2,040, or $340 per product. 

In addition, we estimate that any 

necessary follow-on actions will take 

about 4 work-hours and require parts 

costing $600, for a cost of $940 per 

product. We have no way of 

determining the number of products 

that may need these actions. 

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 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 this AD: 

(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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to certain Beechcraft Corporation 

Model G58 airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 7, 2014 (79 FR 60384). The 

NPRM was prompted by reports of fuel 

leaks due to fuel cells that did not 

properly fit; improper installation of 

fuel components, which may cause 

loads on fuel cells and breach of fuel 

cells; and improper installation of fuel 

hoses and clamps, which may cause fuel 

leaks in Model G58 airplanes. The 

NPRM proposed to require inspecting 

for and replacing, as necessary, certain 

fuel cells. The NPRM also proposed to 

require inspecting and replacing parts, 

as necessary, of the left and right fuel 

system installations and correcting 

torques on fuel system fittings; and 

prohibit future installations of certain 

fuel cells. We are issuing this AD to 

correct the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 60384, October 7, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

60384, October 7, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 60384, 

October 7, 2014). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 18 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD:
