AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model
G58 airplanes. This AD requires
inspecting the installation of stand-off
hardware between the heater fuel line
and the heater over-temperature sensor
wires and also brake reservoir tubing
and the heater fuel pump wiring for
minimum clearance and installing
acceptable stand-off hardware if standoff hardware is missing or inadequate.
This AD results from reports received of
a power wire shorting out on the brake
reservoir tube. We are issuing 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: This AD becomes effective on
April 15, 2010.
On April 15, 2010, the Director of the
Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On December 8, 2009, we issued a
proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to
include an AD that would apply to
certain Hawker Beechcraft Corporation
Model G58 airplanes. This proposal was
published in the Federal Register as a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
on December 17, 2009 (74 FR 66930).
The NPRM proposed to require
inspecting the installation of stand-off
hardware between the heater fuel line
and the heater over-temperature sensor
wires and also brake reservoir tubing
and the heater fuel pump wiring for
minimum clearance and installing
acceptable stand-off hardware if standoff hardware is missing or inadequate.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the
comments received on the proposal and
FAA’s response to each comment:
Comment Issue No. 1: Effective Date
Mr. Busby states we should make the
effective date of the AD immediate.
The FAA disagrees. We carefully
reviewed the data for this safety concern
to assess the risk level of this particular
event. After reviewing the data, we
compared this safety concern with
similar safety concerns in the past.
Then, we assigned a level of risk for this
particular event equivalent to the level
of risk assigned to the similar past safety
concerns we used for comparison. With
the information we have at this time, we
set the time frame to comply with the
actions for this AD similar to the time
frame that was set for similar safety
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
11433
concerns that had equivalent risk levels.
Without additional information to
increase the risk level of this safety
concern we have determined that the
time frame set for complying with this
safety concern is in line with past
precedent.
We are not changing the final rule AD
action based on this comment.
Comment Issue No. 2: Work-Hours
Mr. Busby states that the work-hours
allotted to do the proposed inspection
are not enough. We infer the commenter
wants us to increase the work-hours to
do the proposed inspection to relieve
the pressure on mechanics.
The FAA disagrees. For this AD, we
derived the work-hours from the
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation service
information. Those work-hours were
used to calculate the estimated cost
impact on the owners/operators of the
affected airplanes. The FAA uses that
cost estimate in the economic analysis
to determine if the AD will have a
substantial impact on small entities. In
general, the direct cost to an operator is
the most significant economic
consideration of an AD. Since the workhours in the AD are estimates for
determining cost impact to the operator,
maintenance personnel may take more
or less time to do the inspection and/or
maintenance as is necessary for that
particular aircraft or task. Moderately
increasing the estimated work-hours for
the initial inspection does not
significantly increase the cost impact on
the operator.
We are not changing the final rule AD
action based on this comment.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data and determined that air
safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial corrections. We have
determined that these minor
corrections:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 71
airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do
the 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 AD.
Regulatory Findings
We have 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On December 8, 2009, we issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that
would apply to certain Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model G58
airplanes. This proposal was published in the Federal Register as a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on December 17, 2009 (74 FR
66930). The NPRM proposed to require inspecting the installation of
stand-off hardware between the heater fuel line and the heater over-
temperature sensor wires and also brake reservoir tubing and the heater
fuel pump wiring for minimum clearance and installing acceptable stand-
off hardware if stand-off hardware is missing or inadequate.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
and FAA's response to each comment:
Comment Issue No. 1: Effective Date
Mr. Busby states we should make the effective date of the AD
immediate.
The FAA disagrees. We carefully reviewed the data for this safety
concern to assess the risk level of this particular event. After
reviewing the data, we compared this safety concern with similar safety
concerns in the past. Then, we assigned a level of risk for this
particular event equivalent to the level of risk assigned to the
similar past safety concerns we used for comparison. With the
information we have at this time, we set the time frame to comply with
the actions for this AD similar to the time frame that was set for
similar safety concerns that had equivalent risk levels. Without
additional information to increase the risk level of this safety
concern we have determined that the time frame set for complying with
this safety concern is in line with past precedent.
We are not changing the final rule AD action based on this comment.
Comment Issue No. 2: Work-Hours
Mr. Busby states that the work-hours allotted to do the proposed
inspection are not enough. We infer the commenter wants us to increase
the work-hours to do the proposed inspection to relieve the pressure on
mechanics.
The FAA disagrees. For this AD, we derived the work-hours from the
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation service information. Those work-hours
were used to calculate the estimated cost impact on the owners/
operators of the affected airplanes. The FAA uses that cost estimate in
the economic analysis to determine if the AD will have a substantial
impact on small entities. In general, the direct cost to an operator is
the most significant economic consideration of an AD. Since the work-
hours in the AD are estimates for determining cost impact to the
operator, maintenance personnel may take more or less time to do the
inspection and/or maintenance as is necessary for that particular
aircraft or task. Moderately increasing the estimated work-hours for
the initial inspection does not significantly increase the cost impact
on the operator.
We are not changing the final rule AD action based on this comment.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed
except for minor editorial corrections. We have determined that these
minor corrections:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 71 airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do the inspection of the heater
fuel line, the heater over-temperature sensor wires, the brake
reservoir line, and the fuel heater power wire:

the inspection. We have no way of determining the number of airplanes
that may need this installation:

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 AD.
Regulatory Findings
We have 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 that this AD:
1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
