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.

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/ Maintenance Checks, of the Gulfstream V Maintenance Manual, Revision 23, dated June 20, 2013;

• Task 28–26–01, Fuel Boost Pumps—Fuel Leak Check, of chapter 28, Fuel, of the Gulfstream V Maintenance Manual, Revision 23, dated June 20, 2013;

• Table 20, ‘‘500 Flight Hours Scheduled Inspection Table,’’ in section 05–20–00, of chapter 5, Time Limits/ Maintenance Checks, of the Gulfstream G500 Maintenance Manual, Revision 23, dated June 20, 2013;

• Task 28–26–01, Fuel Boost Pumps—Fuel Leak Check, of section 26, Fuel Boost Pumps, of chapter 28, Fuel, of the Gulfstream G500 Maintenance Manual, Revision 23, dated June 20, 2013;

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:



### E STIMATED

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:

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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety.
The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

**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
