92028 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 225 / Thursday, November 21, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

GVII–G400 airplane meets the 

applicable provisions of the regulations 

listed in Type Certificate No. 

T00021AT, or the applicable regulations 

in effect on the date of application for 

the change, except for earlier 

amendments as agreed upon by the 

FAA. 

If the Administrator finds that the 

applicable airworthiness regulations 

(e.g., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain 

adequate or appropriate safety standards 

for the Gulfstream Model GVII–G400 

airplane because of a novel or unusual 

design feature, special conditions are 

prescribed under the provisions of 

§ 21.16. 

Special conditions are initially 

applicable to the model for which they 

are issued. Should the type certificate 

for that model be amended later to 

include any other model that 

incorporates the same novel or unusual 

design feature, or should any other 

model already included on the same 

type certificate be modified to 

incorporate the same novel or unusual 

design feature, these special conditions 

would also apply to the other model 

under § 21.101. 

In addition to the applicable 

airworthiness regulations and special 

conditions, the Gulfstream Model GVII– 

G400 airplane must comply with the 

exhaust-emission requirements of 14 

CFR part 34, and the noise-certification 

requirements of 14 CFR part 36. 

The FAA issues special conditions, as 

defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance 

with 14 CFR 11.38, and they become 

part of the type certification basis under 

§ 21.101. 

Novel or Unusual Design Features 

The Gulfstream Model GVII–G400 

airplane will incorporate the following 

novel or unusual design feature: 

An oxygen distribution system that 

provides a shared source of oxygen 

between the flightcrew and passengers 

to provide supplemental and 

therapeutic oxygen. 

Discussion 

There are no specific regulations that 

address the design and installation of 

required passenger or crew oxygen 

systems that share a supply source with 

an optional oxygen system used 

specifically for therapeutic applications. 

Therapeutic oxygen systems have been 

previously certified and were generally 

considered an extension of the 

passenger oxygen system for the 

purpose of defining the applicable 

regulations. As a result, existing 

requirements, such as 14 CFR 25.1309, 

25.1441(b) and (c), 25.1451, and 

25.1453, in the Gulfstream GVII–G400 

airplane’s certification basis applicable 

to this project, provide some design 

standards appropriate for oxygen system 

installations. In addition, § 25.1445 

includes standards for oxygen 

distribution systems when oxygen is 

supplied to crew and passengers. If a 

common source of supply is used, 

§ 25.1445(a)(2) requires a means to 

separately reserve the minimum supply 

required by the flight crew. 

Section 25.1445 is intended to protect 

the flightcrew by ensuring that an 

adequate supply of oxygen is available 

to complete a descent and landing 

following a loss of cabin pressure. When 

the regulation was written, the only 

passenger oxygen system designs were 

supplemental oxygen systems intended 

to protect passengers from hypoxia in 

the event of a decompression. Existing 

passenger oxygen systems did not 

include design features that would 

allow the flightcrew to control oxygen to 

passengers during flight. There are no 

similar requirements in § 25.1445 when 

oxygen is supplied from the same 

source to passengers for use during a 

decompression, and for discretionary or 

first-aid use any time during the flight. 

In the design, the crew, passenger, and 

therapeutic oxygen systems use the 

same source of oxygen. These special 

conditions contain additional design 

requirements for the equipment 

involved in this dual therapeutic oxygen 

plus supplemental gaseous oxygen 

installation. 

These special conditions contain the 

additional safety standards that the 

Administrator considers necessary to 

establish a level of safety equivalent to 

that established by the existing 

airworthiness standards. 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these special 

conditions are applicable to Gulfstream 

Model GVII–G400 airplane. Should 

Gulfstream apply at a later date for a 

change to the type certificate to include 

another model incorporating the same 

novel or unusual design feature, or 

should any other model already 

included on the same type certificate be 

modified to incorporate the same novel 

or unusual design feature, these special 

conditions would apply to that model as 

well. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only the certain 

novel or unusual design feature on the 

Gulfstream Model GVII–400 airplane. It 

is not a rule of general applicability.

The Special Conditions 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me by the 

Administrator, the following special 

conditions are issued as part of the type 

certification basis for Gulfstream 

Aerospace Corporation Model GVII– 

G400 airplanes. 

The distribution system for the 

passenger therapeutic oxygen system 

must be designed and installed to meet 

requirements as follows: 

(1) When oxygen is supplied to 

passengers for both supplemental and 

therapeutic purposes, the distribution 

system must be designed for either— 

(a) A source of supplemental oxygen 

for protection following a loss of cabin 

pressure, and a separate source for 

therapeutic purposes; or 

(b) A common source of supply with 

means to separately reserve the 

minimum supply required by the 

passengers for supplemental use 

following a loss of cabin pressure.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority, as it amends 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface for Lady Lake 

Hospital in Lady Lake, FL. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA 2023–2166 in the Federal Register 

(89 FR 54739; July 2, 2024), proposing 

to amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for Lady Lake Hospital in Lady Lake, 

FL. Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E airspace is published in 

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order JO 

7400.11, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, which is incorporated 

by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an 

annual basis. This document amends 

the current version of that order, FAA 

Order JO 7400.11J, dated July 31, 2024, 

and effective September 15, 2024. FAA 

Order JO 7400.11J is publicly available 

as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. These amendments will be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. FAA Order JO 

7400.11J lists Class A, B, C, D, and E 

airspace areas, air traffic service routes, 

and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for Lady Lake Hospital, Lady Lake, FL, 

by increasing the radius to 7 miles 

(previously 6 miles) to encompass UF 

Health The Villages Hospital Heliport, 

The Villages, FL. Controlled airspace is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations in the area. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It, therefore: (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) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this proposed rule, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant the preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
