ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013–22– 

19, which applies to all Gulfstream 

Aerospace Corporation Model GV and 

GV–SP airplanes. AD 2013–22–19 

currently requires inspecting to 

determine if fuel boost pumps having a 

certain part number are installed, 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 190 / Wednesday, October 1, 2014 / Proposed Rules 59163 

replacing the fuel boost pumps having 

a certain part number, and revising the 

airplane maintenance program to 

include revised instructions for 

continued airworthiness. Since we 

issued AD 2013–22–19, we have 

determined that the maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, must 

be revised to include new service 

information. This proposed AD would 

continue to require revising the airplane 

maintenance program to include a fuel 

leak check of the fuel boost pumps, 

using new service information. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent fuel 

leakage in combination with a capacitor 

clearance issue, which could result in 

an uncontrolled fire in the wheel well. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by November 17, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR

Discussion 

On October 25, 2013, we issued AD 

2013–22–19, Amendment 39–17651 (78 

FR 72554, December 3, 2013), for all 

Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation 

Model GV and GV–SP airplanes. AD 

2013–22–19 requires inspecting to 

determine if fuel boost pumps having a 

certain part number are installed, 

replacing the fuel boost pumps having 

a certain part number, and revising the 

airplane maintenance program to 

include revised instructions for 

continued airworthiness. AD 2013–22– 

19 resulted from reports of two 

independent types of failure of the fuel 

boost pump with overheat damage 

found on the internal components and 

external housing on one of the failure 

types, and fuel leakage on the other. We 

issued AD 2013–22–19 to prevent fuel 

leakage in combination with a capacitor 

clearance issue, which could result in 

an uncontrolled fire in the wheel well. 

Actions Since AD 2013–22–19, 

Amendment 39–17651 (78 FR 72554, 

December 3, 2013), Was Issued 

Since we issued AD 2013–22–19, 

Amendment 39–17651 (78 FR 72554, 

December 3, 2013), we have determined 

that the maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, must be revised 

to include new service information. We 

became aware that the service 

information specified in paragraph (i) of 

AD 2013–22–19 cannot be used by 

operators and does not appropriately 

address the unsafe condition. 

Relevant Service Information 

We have reviewed the following 

Gulfstream Customer Bulletins, which 

describe procedures for inspecting and 

replacing the fuel boost pumps: 

• Gulfstream V Customer Bulletin 

197, dated April 11, 2012 (for Model GV 

airplanes); 

• Gulfstream G500 Customer Bulletin 

122, dated April 11, 2012 (for Model 

GV–SP airplanes designated as G500); 

and 

• Gulfstream G550 Customer Bulletin 

122, dated April 11, 2012 (for Model 

GV–SP airplanes designated as G500 or 

G550). 

We also reviewed the following 

service information, which describes 

procedures for revising the airplane 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to include a fuel leak check 

of the fuel boost pumps, and the 

inspection intervals: 

• Table 18, ‘‘500 Flight Hours 

Scheduled Inspection Table,’’ in section 

05–20–00, of chapter 5, Time Limits/

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing 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. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would retain all 

requirements of AD 2013–22–19, 

Amendment 39–17651 (78 FR 72554, 

December 3, 2013). This proposed AD 

also includes new service information 

for Model GV–SP airplanes designated 

as Model G500 for the actions required 

by paragraphs (g) and (h) of this 

proposed AD. 

Explanation of ‘‘RC’’ Steps in Service 

Information 

The FAA worked in conjunction with 

industry, under the Airworthiness 

Directives Implementation Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee, 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 actions specified in the service 

information described previously 

include steps that are labeled as RC 

(required for compliance) because these 

steps have a direct effect on detecting, 

preventing, resolving, or eliminating an 

identified unsafe condition. As noted in 

the specified service information, steps 

labeled as RC must be done to comply 

with the proposed AD. However, steps 

that are not labeled as RC are 

recommended. Those steps that are not 

labeled as RC may be deviated from, 

done as part of other actions, or done 

using accepted methods different from 

those identified in the service 

information without obtaining approval 

of an alternative method of compliance 

(AMOC), provided the steps labeled as 

RC can be done and the airplane can be 

put back in a serviceable condition. Any 

substitutions or changes to steps labeled 

as RC will require approval of an 

AMOC. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 357 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Inspection to determine if a certain part number is installed 

[retained actions from AD 2013–22–19, Amendment 39– 

17651 (78 FR 72554, December 3, 2013)].

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = 

$85.

$0 $85 $30,345 

Maintenance program revision [retained actions from AD 

2013–22–19, Amendment 39–17651 (78 FR 72554, December 3, 2013)].

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = 

$85.

0 85 30,345 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacements that would 

be required based on the results of the 

proposed inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these replacements: 

ON-CONDITION COST

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Replacement .................................... 24 work-hours × $85 per hour = $2,040 ................................................... $7,600 $9,640 

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 have 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 that the 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.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows:

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS) is seeking public 

comment on the recordkeeping 

requirements of the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR). BIS 

is reviewing its requirements on record 

retention and record creation and is 

considering proposing revisions to such 

requirements. BIS seeks public 

comment on ways to improve the 

recordkeeping requirements of the EAR 

to reduce unnecessary burden, increase 

clarity, address changes in technology 

and data management, and maintain the 

tools necessary for compliance with and 

enforcement of the EAR. This advance 

notice of proposed rulemaking is part of 

BIS’s retrospective regulatory review 

being undertaken pursuant to Executive 

Order 13563. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

December 1, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted to the Federal rulemaking 

portal (http://www.regulations.gov). The 

regulations.gov ID for this notice of 

inquiry is: BIS–2014–0035. Comments 

may also be submitted via email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 5, 2011, the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) published a 

notice of inquiry in the Federal Register 

(76 FR 47527) seeking comments 

pertaining to a retrospective regulatory 

review being conducted by BIS pursuant 

to Executive Order 13563, which 

President Barack Obama issued to 

improve regulation and regulatory 

review. Among other things, the 

President stressed the need for the 

regulatory system to allow for public 

participation and an open exchange of 

ideas, as well as promote predictability 

and reduce uncertainty. The President 

also emphasized that regulations must 

be accessible, consistent, written in 

plain language, and easy to understand. 

Through its notice of inquiry on this 

retrospective regulatory review, BIS 

sought comments on aspects of the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR) that are not immediately affected 

by the Export Control Reform (ECR) 

initiative and that could improve clarity 

in the EAR or streamline requirements 

to improve efficiency and reduce 

burden. 

Consistent with that notice of inquiry, 

this advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking seeks public comment on 

BIS’s recordkeeping requirements. The 

recordkeeping requirements are 

primarily in part 762 of the EAR and 

apply to both the export control 

provisions and antiboycott provisions of 

the EAR. Part 762 describes, inter alia, 

those transactions and persons subject 

to recordkeeping requirements in 

§ 762.1, as well as those records 

required to be maintained in § 762.2 for 

the duration described in § 762.6. While 

most recordkeeping requirements 

pertain to documents that are created for 

purposes other than retention (e.g., to 

obtain an export license or to file 

Electronic Export Information), some 

provisions of the EAR require the 

creation of a document solely for record 

retention purposes. Section 762.2 refers 

to those sections of the EAR that either 

require the creation of a record or 

otherwise reference recordkeeping 

requirements. Additionally, part 762 

describes requirements on maintaining 

original records or reproductions, as 

well as producing records for 

inspection. 

The recordkeeping provisions have 

not been comprehensively reviewed 

since part 762 became effective in 1996. 

While BIS previously updated part 762 

to take into account electronic 

submissions of license applications and 

other requests under the SNAP–R 

system, BIS has not reviewed the 

recordkeeping requirements to take into 

account changes in data management 

systems and record retention practices 

since that time. In addition, BIS has not 

comprehensively analyzed part 762 and 

compared it to the recordkeeping 

requirements of similar regulations, 

such as the International Traffic in Arms 

Regulations (ITAR) administered by the 

Department of State. Under ECR, BIS 

has been working with the Department 

of State to harmonize key terms where 

possible. The structure and form of the 

EAR recordkeeping requirements vary 

greatly from the structure and form of 

the ITAR recordkeeping requirements, 

as only one section in the ITAR (22 CFR 

122.5) describes the required retention 

of records. While this advance notice of 

proposed rulemaking is not part of ECR, 

BIS will take into account the 

provisions of the ITAR if beneficial to 

the EAR. 

Request for Public Comments 

BIS is considering proposing revisions 

to the recordkeeping requirements of the 

EAR to more effectively describe those 

records and persons subject to the
