AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model
G58 airplanes. This proposed AD would
require inspecting the installation of
stand-off hardware between the heater
fuel line and the heater overtemperature sensor wires for minimum
clearance and installing acceptable
stand-off hardware if stand-off hardware
is missing or inadequate. This proposed
AD would also require inspecting the
brake reservoir line and the fuel heater
power wire for damage and minimum
clearance, replacing any damaged wires
and/or lines, and installing stand-off
hardware if minimum clearance is not
met. This proposed AD results from
reports received of a power wire
shorting out on the brake reservoir tube.
We are proposing this AD to detect and
correct inadequate clearance of the
brake reservoir tubing and the heater
fuel pump wiring, which could result in
chafing and shorting out of the electrical
wiring and chafing of the tubing
carrying flammable fluids. This
condition could lead to a fire in the nose
wheel well.
DATES: We must receive comments on
this proposed AD by February 1, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Use one of the following
addresses to comment on this proposed
AD:

Discussion
We have received reports that on a
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model
G58 airplane a power wire shorted out
on the brake reservoir tube, resulting in
a fire in the nose wheel well. The 0.50inch minimum clearance requirements
may not have been met between the
brake reservoir tube and the combustion
heater fuel pump power wire below the
left side of the nose baggage
compartment.
This condition, if not corrected, could
result in chafing and shorting out of the
electrical wiring and chafing of the
tubing carrying flammable fluids, which
could lead to a fire in the nose wheel
well.
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed Hawker Beechcraft
Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 32–3898,
dated November 2008.
The service information describes
procedures for:
• Inspecting the installation of standoff hardware between the heater fuel
line and the heater over-temperature
sensor wires for minimum clearance;
• Installing acceptable stand-off
hardware if stand-off hardware is
missing or inadequate;
• Inspecting the brake reservoir line
and the fuel heater power wire for
damage and minimum clearance;
• Replacing any damaged wires and/
or lines; and
• Installing stand-off hardware
between the brake reservoir line and the
fuel heater power wire if minimum
clearance is not met.
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of the Proposed AD
We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all information and
determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design. This proposed AD would
require inspecting the installation of
stand-off hardware between the heater
fuel line and the heater overtemperature sensor wires for minimum
clearance and installing acceptable
stand-off hardware if stand-off hardware
is missing or inadequate. This proposed
AD would also require inspecting the
brake reservoir line and the fuel heater
power wire for damage and minimum
clearance, replacing any damaged wires
and/or lines, and installing stand-off
hardware if minimum clearance is not
met.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
would affect 71 airplanes in the U.S.
registry.
We estimate the following costs to do
the proposed inspection of the heater
fuel line, the heater over-temperature
sensor wires, the brake reservoir line,
and the fuel heater power wire:

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.

ACTION:
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
SUMMARY: This document proposes to
amend U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) regulations by
removing the provisions pertaining to
the Land Border Carrier Initiative
Program (LBCIP). The LBCIP is a
voluntary industry partnership program
under which participating land and rail
commercial carriers agree to enhance
the security of their facilities and
conveyances to prevent controlled
substances from being smuggled into the
United States.
Since the promulgation of the LBCIP
regulations, CBP has developed a more
comprehensive voluntary industry
partnership program known as the
Customs-Trade Partnership Against
Terrorism (‘‘C–TPAT.’’) C–TPAT builds
upon the best practices of the LBCIP,
while providing greater border and
supply chain security with expanded
benefits to approved participants. For
this reason, CBP intends to terminate
the LBCIP and focus its partnership
efforts on the further development of

Discussion
We have received reports that on a Hawker Beechcraft Corporation
Model G58 airplane a power wire shorted out on the brake reservoir
tube, resulting in a fire in the nose wheel well. The 0.50-inch minimum
clearance requirements may not have been met between the brake
reservoir tube and the combustion heater fuel pump power wire below the
left side of the nose baggage compartment.
This condition, if not corrected, could result in chafing and
shorting out of the electrical wiring and chafing of the tubing
carrying flammable fluids, which could lead to a fire in the nose wheel
well.
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed Hawker Beechcraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB
32-3898, dated November 2008.
The service information describes procedures for:
Inspecting the installation of stand-off hardware between
the heater fuel line and the heater over-temperature sensor wires for
minimum clearance;
Installing acceptable stand-off hardware if stand-off
hardware is missing or inadequate;
Inspecting the brake reservoir line and the fuel heater
power wire for damage and minimum clearance;
Replacing any damaged wires and/or lines; and
Installing stand-off hardware between the brake reservoir
line and the fuel heater power wire if minimum clearance is not met.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD
We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all information and
determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist
or develop on other products of the same type design. This proposed AD
would require inspecting the installation of stand-off hardware between
the heater fuel line and the heater over-temperature sensor wires for
minimum clearance and installing acceptable stand-off hardware if
stand-off hardware is missing or inadequate. This proposed AD would
also require inspecting the brake reservoir line and the fuel heater
power wire for damage and minimum clearance, replacing any damaged
wires and/or lines, and installing stand-off hardware if minimum
clearance is not met.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 71 airplanes in the
U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do the proposed inspection of
the heater fuel line, the heater over-temperature sensor wires, the
brake reservoir line, and the fuel heater power wire:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per Total cost on
Labor cost Parts cost airplane U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 work-hour x $80 per hour = $80.............. Not applicable.................. $80 $5,680
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 66931]]
We estimate the following costs to do any necessary stand-off
hardware installation that would be required based on the results of
the proposed inspection. We have no way of determining the number of
airplanes that may need this installation:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per
Labor cost Parts cost airplane
------------------------------------------------------------------------
.5 work-hour x $80 per hour = $40....... $50 $90
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacement of
the brake line that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. We have no way of determining the number of
airplanes that may need this installation:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per
Labor cost Parts cost airplane
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 work-hours x $80 per hour = $480...... $100 $580
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation will allow warranty credit as
specified in Hawker Beechcraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 32-3898,
dated November 2008.
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); and
3. 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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket that contains the proposed AD, the
regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information on
the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket
Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone (800) 647-5527)
is located at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section.
Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.
