Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

49 CFR Part 173

[Docket No. PHMSA-2011-0157; Notice No. 11-6]

Clarification on the Division 1.1 Fireworks Approvals Policy

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.

ACTION: Clarification.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this document, PHMSA is responding to comments received
from its initial Notice No. 11-6 clarifying PHMSA's policy regarding
the fireworks approvals program. Furthermore, in this document PHMSA is
restating its policy clarification that it will accept only those
classification approval applications for Division 1.1 fireworks that
have been examined and assigned a recommended shipping description,
division, and compatibility group by a DOT-approved explosives test
laboratory, or those that have been issued an approval for the
explosive by the competent authority of a foreign government
acknowledged by PHMSA's Associate Administrator. This policy
clarification is intended to enhance safety by ensuring that fireworks
transported in commerce meet the established criteria for their
assigned classification, thereby minimizing the potential shipment of
incorrectly classified or forbidden fireworks.

DATES: The policy clarification discussed in this document is effective
February 21, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ryan Paquet, Director, Approvals
and Permits Division, Office of Hazardous Materials Safety, (202) 366-
4512, PHMSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.

Comments
IV. Summary of Policy Clarification

I. Introduction

    The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180)
require that Division 1.1 fireworks must be examined by a DOT-approved
explosives test laboratory and assigned a recommended shipping
description, division, and compatibility group in accordance with Sec.
173.56(b). The tests provided for the classification of Division 1.1
fireworks specified in Sec. Sec.  173.57 and 173.58 describe the
procedures used to determine the acceptance criteria and assignment of
class and division for all new explosives. Further, the HMR also permit
Division 1.1 firework devices that have been approved by the competent
authority of a foreign government that PHMSA's Associate Administrator
has acknowledged in writing as acceptable in accordance with Sec.
173.56(g).
    On September 27, 2011, PHMSA published the initial Notice No. 11-6
(76 FR 59769) clarifying its policy, consistent with the HMR, that all
Division 1.1 fireworks must undergo examination by a DOT-approved
explosives examination laboratory or be issued an approval for the
explosive by the competent authority of a foreign government
acknowledged by PHMSA's Associate Administrator. In today's document,
PHMSA is responding to comments received as a result of this notice and
is restating its policy clarification on the fireworks approval
program.

II. Background

    The HMR require that Division 1.1 fireworks must be examined by a
DOT-approved explosives test laboratory and assigned a recommended
shipping description, division, and compatibility group in accordance
with Sec.  173.56(b). The HMR also permit Division 1.1 firework devices
that have been approved by the competent authority of a foreign
government that PHMSA's Associate Administrator has acknowledged in
writing as acceptable in accordance with Sec.  173.56(g).
    According to Sec.  173.56(j), manufacturers of Division 1.3 and 1.4
fireworks, or their designated U.S. agents, may apply for an explosives
(EX) classification approval without prior examination by a DOT-
approved explosives test laboratory if the firework device is
manufactured in accordance with APA Standard 87-1 (IBR, see Sec.
171.7), and the device passes the thermal stability test. Additionally,
the applicant must certify that the firework device conforms to the APA
Standard 87-1 and that the descriptions and technical information
contained in the application are complete and accurate. PHMSA has in
the past, on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with Sec.  173.56(i),
approved some Division 1.1G fireworks without requiring testing by a
DOT-approved explosives examination laboratory. PHMSA evaluates each EX
approval application independently and has also required Division 1.1G
fireworks to undergo examination testing by a DOT-approved explosive
examination lab prior to issuing the EX approval.
    While APA Standard 87-1 contains two instances where Division 1.1
fireworks may be approved under the standard, it does not call for the
level of testing required in the HMR, nor does it provide testing and
criteria to determine when a firework ceases to be a Division 1.1 and
becomes forbidden for transport.
    In this document, PHMSA is clarifying its policy that all Division
1.1 fireworks must undergo examination by a DOT-approved explosives
examination laboratory or be approved by a competent authority.
Division 1.1 fireworks will not require UN Test Method 6, as testing
will be limited to UN Test Method 4a(i) and 4b(ii), as is specified in
Sec.  173.57(b). The examination laboratory may request additional
information to make its classification recommendation. Additionally,
PHMSA allows the laboratory to make a classification recommendation for
Division 1.1 fireworks based on analogy.
    PHMSA believes that by issuing Division 1.1 fireworks approvals
only after a DOT-approved explosive laboratory has examined and
recommended a classification, or an approval has been issued by a
competent authority of a foreign government acknowledged by PHMSA's
Associate Administrator, it is ensuring that fireworks transported in
commerce meet the established criteria for their assigned
classification, thereby minimizing the potential shipment of
incorrectly classified or forbidden fireworks.

III. List of Commenters, Beyond-the-Scope Comments, and General
Comments

    PHMSA received three comments in response to the initial Notice No.
11-6. The comments covered various topics including, but not limited
to, transportation safety, general comments, and economic impacts. One
commenter supported the clarification to the fireworks policy in
initial Notice 11-6, while two commenters had reservations about it. A
summary of the comments received is discussed below. The comments, as
submitted to the docket for the initial Notice No. 11-6 (Docket No.
PHMSA-2011-0157), may be accessed via http://www.regulations.gov and
were submitted by the following:
    (1) Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C.; PHMSA-2011-0157-0002.
    (2) American Pyrotechnics Association (APA); PHMSA-2011-0157-0003.
    (3) Kellner's Fireworks Inc.; PHMSA-201-0157-0004.

Beyond-the-Scope Comments

    One commenter requests PHMSA consider waste management of used or
defective fireworks when proposing any amendments to regulations
related to the transport of fireworks. In this document, PHMSA does not
propose any regulatory amendments; rather, we are clarifying existing
policy. While PHMSA agrees environmental impacts should be considered
when proposing amendments to regulations, no regulatory changes were
proposed in the initial Notice; therefore, waste management of
fireworks is beyond the scope of this document.
    Another commenter acknowledges the current prohibition in the HMR
to classify Division 1.1 fireworks under Sec.  173.56(j), but requests
that PHMSA remove the terminology ``Division 1.3 and Division 1.4'' in
Sec.  173.56(j) to allow PHMSA to grant approvals for all fireworks
manufactured in accordance with APA Standard 87-1, regardless of their
classification. This document is a clarification of current
requirements and does not propose any regulatory amendments, rather,
PHMSA is clarifying existing policy; therefore this request will be
handled as a petition for rulemaking and responded to accordingly.

General Comments

Transportation Safety
    With regard to transportation safety, PHMSA received one comment in
support of its effort to clarify the classification of Division 1.1
fireworks. Specifically, this commenter noted that

PHMSA's oversight of the classification of Division 1.1 fireworks is
preferable due to the increased safety hazards involved in the
management of Division 1.1 fireworks.
    Another commenter opposes PHMSA's clarification and indicates that
Division 1.1 fireworks approved under APA Standard 87-1 have not
resulted in any incidents that would cause it to reconsider its
practice. Although to date there have been no known incidents involving
the transportation of Division 1.1 fireworks, there are known
occurrences of fireworks being transported that contain chemical
compositions rendering them forbidden from transportation. The APA
Standard 87-1 does not provide the testing and criteria to determine
when a device ceases to be a Division 1.1 firework device and becomes
forbidden from transportation. Testing Division 1.1 fireworks devices
as prescribed in the HMR, enables a determination when a firework
device ceases to be a Division 1.1 device and becomes forbidden.
Furthermore, this clarification will provide oversight to ensure that
Division 1.1 fireworks meet the established criteria for their assigned
classification, thereby minimizing the potential shipment of
incorrectly classified or forbidden fireworks.
Economic Impact
    One commenter opposes the policy clarification because they
indicate that fireworks currently classified as Division 1.1G devices
have not changed in many years, even though the regulations governing
their transportation have changed. The commenter states that a
fireworks device that was previously considered to be 1.3G under APA
Standard 87-1 is now considered a 1.1G, but the device is still
manufactured the same way as it was when the device was classed as a
1.3G.
    In December 1991, PHMSA (Research and Special Programs
Administration) revised the HMR to align its classification system for
fireworks with the U.N. Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods. Under the previous system, fireworks were classified as Class A,
B, or C--Class A fireworks were considered to be the most hazardous and
Class C fireworks were considered to be least hazardous. For the most
part, Class A fireworks were reclassed as Division 1.1, Class B
fireworks were reclassed as Division 1.3, and Class C fireworks were
reclassed as Division 1.4. This resulted in some fireworks with shell
diameters as great as 16 inches being classed as Division 1.3
fireworks. In the 2001-2002 edition of the APA Standard 87-1, fireworks
with diameters greater than 10 inches were all classified as Division
1.1 fireworks. Prior to that edition of the APA Standard 87-1, aerial
shell firework devices not classed as a 1.4G were classed as a 1.3G
regardless of size or quantity of flash composition. This change was
made in the interest of safety.
    While PHMSA has approved Division 1.1G fireworks manufactured in
accordance with the APA Standard 87-1, it evaluates each EX approval
independently and has also required Division 1.1G fireworks to be
examined.
    Further, the commenter states that the testing for these items can
cost upwards of $8,000 and that the cost will put fireworks companies
intending to sell Division 1.1G fireworks devices at a major loss
before the product is available for sale. To the contrary, third-party
labs have indicated that the cost of performing these tests is
considerably less--depending on a number of variables, PHMSA estimates
that required tests would cost less than $5,400.
    Also, as indicated in the initial document, if a fireworks device
is classed and approved as a Division 1.1 firework, the UN Test Method
6 is not required; rather, testing will be limited to UN Test Method
4a(i) and 4b(ii), as is specified in Sec.  173.57(b). Further, PHMSA
allows the laboratory to make a classification recommendation for
Division 1.1 fireworks based on analogy.
    This document is intended to clarify current regulations: that only
Division 1.3 and 1.4 fireworks devices may be approved in accordance
with the APA Standard 87-1.

IV. Summary of Policy Clarification

    Based on the comments received and PHMSA's responses to those
comments, henceforth, PHMSA will not accept Division 1.1 fireworks
approval applications submitted under the APA Standard 87-1. Division
1.1 fireworks must be examined and assigned a recommended shipping
description, division, and compatibility group by a DOT-approved
explosives test laboratory, or issued an approval for the explosive by
the competent authority of a foreign government acknowledged by PHMSA's
Associate Administrator. On a case-by-case basis under 173.56(i), PHMSA
will evaluate them for approval without testing.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 14, 2012 under authority
delegated in 49 CFR part 1.

Quantitative Research on a Voluntary Symbol Depicting the Nutrient
Content Claim ``Healthy'' on Packaged Foods

OMB Control Number 0910-NEW

    Section 403(r)(1)(A) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 343(r)(1)(A)) permits the use of label and
labeling claims that characterize the level of a nutrient in a food
when the claims are made in accordance with FDA's regulations. Such
claims are referred to as ``nutrient content claims.'' We have issued
regulations under section 403(r)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act defining
``implied nutrient content claims'' as those that imply that a food,
because of its nutrient content, may be useful in achieving a total
diet that conforms to current dietary recommendations (``Food Labeling:
Nutrient Content Claims, General Principles, Petitions, Definition of
Terms,'' 58 FR 2302 at 2374, January 6, 1993). We have determined that
a claim that a food, because of its nutrient content, may be useful in
maintaining healthy dietary practices is clearly a claim that
characterizes the level of nutrients in that food. The claim is
essentially saying that the level of nutrients in the food is such that
the food will contribute to good health (58 FR 2302 at 2375). In 1994,
we issued a definition of ``healthy'' as an implied nutrient content
claim (59 FR 24232, May 10, 1994); the regulation is codified at 21 CFR
101.65(d)(2).
    In 2018, we announced our Nutrition Innovation Strategy (https://www.fda.gov/food/food-labeling-nutrition/fda-nutrition-innovation-strategy) outlining key priorities the Agency intended to pursue to
reduce the burden of chronic disease through improved nutrition and
advance its public health mission. To help advance these goals, we are
exploring the development of a graphic symbol to help consumers
identify packaged food products that meet FDA's definition of
``healthy.'' The symbol would be a graphic representation of the
nutrient content claim ``healthy'' and, like the implied nutrient
content claim ``healthy'' itself, would be voluntary for packaged food
companies. Companies could voluntarily use the symbol on food products
that meet FDA's definition of ``healthy.''
    In 2019 and 2020, FDA conducted a review of the literature on
front-of-package (FOP) nutrition-related symbols and conducted a series
of focus groups to test symbol concepts and draft FOP symbols (see
Docket No. FDA-2021-N-0336 for a table of draft FOP symbols and the
literature review).
    As part of its efforts to promote public health, FDA proposes to
conduct three consecutive quantitative research studies--an
experimental study and two surveys--to explore consumer responses to
the draft FOP symbols that manufacturers could voluntarily use on a
food product as a graphic representation of the nutrient content claim
``healthy.'' If research results suggest the need, the symbols will be
fine-tuned following the experimental study and again fine-tuned
following each survey. The first study will be a controlled, randomized
experiment (hereafter called Study 1). Study 1 will use a 15-minute
web-based questionnaire to collect information from 5,000 U.S. adult
members of an online consumer panel maintained by a contractor. The
surveys, Studies 2 and 3, will each utilize the same instrument, a 10-
minute questionnaire, to test sets of draft FOP symbols. Studies 2 and
3 will each draw a sample of 1,000 U.S. adult participants from an
online consumer panel.
    Conditions for Study 1 will be: (1) A set of draft FOP symbols,
including ``no-symbol'' controls; (2) three types of mock food products
(i.e., a breakfast cereal, a frozen meal, and a canned soup); (3) a
``no-information'' condition where no explanation of the symbol is
provided; and; (4) a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) condition, in which
a URL is tested alongside the symbol. Each participant in Study 1 will
be randomly assigned to a condition, which will include viewing a label
image and responding to various measures of the symbol's effectiveness.
Product perceptions (e.g., healthfulness and contribution to a healthy
diet), label perceptions (e.g., believability and trustworthiness), and
purchase/choice questions will constitute the measures of response in
the experiment. The instrument will also collect information from
participants about their history of purchasing or consuming similar
products; nutrition knowledge; dietary interests; motivation regarding
label use; health status; and demographic characteristics.
    Studies 2 and 3 will utilize non-probability survey methods, using
a web-based panel to draw a sample of U.S. adults ages 18 and older who
self-identify as primary food shoppers. The sample will be balanced to
the demographics of the U.S. population. The survey instruments will
focus on clarity, relevance, and appeal of a small subset of revised
symbols.
    The studies are part of our continuing effort to enable consumers
to make

informed dietary choices and construct healthful diets. We intend to
use the results to inform our continued exploration of a symbol
manufacturers could voluntarily use to represent the nutrient content
claim ``healthy'' on the food label. We will not use the results to
develop population estimates.

Adequacy Determination for Lamar and Steamboat Springs PM10
Maintenance Plans' Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for Transportation
Conformity Purposes; State of Colorado

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of adequacy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this notice, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
notifying the public that the Agency has found the following adequate
for transportation conformity purposes: The ``Revised PM10
Maintenance Plan for the Lamar Attainment/Maintenance Area'' and its
motor vehicle emissions budget, and the ``Revised PM10
Maintenance Plan for the Steamboat Springs Attainment/Maintenance
Area'' and its motor vehicle emissions budget. As more fully explained
in the Supplementary Information section of this notice, this finding
will affect future transportation conformity determinations.

DATES: This finding is effective on October 20, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Russ, Air Program, Mailcode 8P-AR,
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver,
Colorado 80202-1129, telephone number<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax number (303)
312-6064, or email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our,'' are used, we mean EPA. Whenever ``State'' is used,
we mean the State of Colorado.
    Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the
Clean Air Act (CAA). The conformity rule provisions at 40 CFR 93
require that transportation plans, programs, and projects conform to a
State Implementation Plan (SIP) and establish the criteria and
procedures for determining whether or not they do. Conformity to a SIP
means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality
violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of
the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).
    The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP revision's motor
vehicle emissions budget (MVEB) is adequate for conformity purposes are
outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4), which was promulgated August 15, 1997
(62 FR 43780). We described our process for determining the adequacy of
submitted SIP MVEBs in our July 1, 2004 Transportation Conformity Rule
Amendments (69 FR 40004). We used these resources in making our
adequacy determinations announced in this notice.
    This notice is simply an announcement of findings that we have
already made and are as described below:
    Lamar (PM10): The State submitted the ``Revised PM10
Maintenance Plan for the Lamar Attainment/Maintenance Area'' \1\ on May
13, 2013. The State prepared the submittal to meet the requirements of
section 175A(b) of the CAA for a second 10-year maintenance plan. We
posted the ``Revised PM10 Maintenance Plan for the Lamar
Attainment/Maintenance Area'' for adequacy review on EPA's
transportation conformity Web site on November 15, 2013. The public
comment period closed on December 16, 2013, and we did not receive any
comments in response to the adequacy review posting (see http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/currsips.htm#lamar-co). EPA
sent a letter to the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) on January 23, 2014, stating that the submitted
Lamar PM10 second 10-year maintenance plan and the 2025
PM10 MVEB were adequate for transportation conformity
purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ PM10 refers to particulate matter less than or
equal to 10 microns in diameter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Steamboat Springs (PM10): The State submitted the
``Revised PM10 Maintenance Plan for the Steamboat Springs
Attainment/Maintenance Area'' on May 11, 2012. The State prepared the
submittal to meet the requirements of section 175A(b) of the CAA for a
second 10-year maintenance plan. We posted the ``Revised
PM10 Maintenance Plan for the Steamboat Springs Attainment/
Maintenance Area'' for adequacy review on EPA's transportation
conformity Web site on November 15, 2013. The public comment period
closed on December 16, 2013, and we did not receive any comments in
response to the adequacy review posting (see http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/currsips.htm#steam-spr-co). EPA sent a letter
to the CDPHE on January 23, 2014, stating that the submitted Steamboat
Springs PM10 second 10-year maintenance plan and the 2024
PM10 MVEB were adequate for transportation conformity
purposes.
    For the Lamar PM10 maintenance area, the MVEB we found
adequate is 764 pounds of PM10 per day in 2025. Following
the effective date listed in the DATES section of this notice, the
Colorado Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of
Transportation are required to use this motor vehicle emissions budget
for future transportation conformity determinations for projects in the
Lamar PM10 maintenance area. For the Steamboat Springs
PM10 maintenance area, the MVEB we found adequate is 1,103
pounds of PM10 per day in 2024. Following the effective date
listed in the DATES section of this notice, the Colorado Department of
Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation are required
to use this motor vehicle emissions budget for future transportation
conformity determinations for projects in the Steamboat Springs
PM10 maintenance area.
    Please note that our adequacy review described above is separate
from our rulemaking action on the two maintenance plans discussed above
and should not be used to prejudge our ultimate approval or disapproval
of each of the SIP revisions. Even if we find a maintenance plan and
its MVEB adequate for transportation conformity purposes now, we may
later find it necessary to disapprove the SIP revision. Should this
situation arise, we would then revisit our adequacy finding.

    Authority:  42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and
-500 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an evaluation
by the design approval holder (DAH) indicating that the bulkhead is
subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This proposed AD would
require repetitive inspections of the aft pressure bulkhead web for any
cracking, incorrectly drilled fastener holes, and elongated fastener
holes, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary.
We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the
aft pressure bulkhead web at the ``Y''-chord, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane and rapid decompression of
the fuselage.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 14,
2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    Structural fatigue damage is progressive. It begins as minute
cracks, and those cracks grow under the action of repeated stresses.
This can happen because of normal operational conditions and design
attributes, or because of isolated situations or incidents such as
material defects, poor fabrication quality, or corrosion pits, dings,
or scratches. Fatigue damage can occur locally, in small areas or
structural design details, or globally. Global fatigue damage is
general degradation of large areas of structure with similar structural
details and stress levels. Multiple-site damage is global damage that
occurs in a large structural element such as a single rivet line of a
lap splice joining two large skin panels. Global damage can also occur
in multiple elements such as adjacent frames or stringers. Multiple-
site-damage and multiple-element-damage cracks are typically too small
initially to be reliably detected with normal inspection methods.
Without intervention, these cracks will grow, and eventually compromise
the structural integrity of the airplane, in a condition known as
widespread fatigue damage (WFD). As an airplane ages, WFD will likely
occur, and will certainly occur if the airplane is operated long enough
without any intervention.
    The FAA's WFD final rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) became
effective on January 14, 2011. The WFD rule requires certain actions to
prevent structural failure due to WFD throughout the operational life
of certain existing transport category airplanes and all of these
airplanes that will be certificated in the future. For existing and
future airplanes subject to the WFD rule, the rule requires that DAHs
establish a limit of validity (LOV) of the engineering data that
support the structural maintenance program. Operators affected by the
WFD rule may not fly an airplane beyond its LOV, unless an extended LOV
is approved.
    The WFD rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) does not require
identifying and developing maintenance actions if the DAHs can show
that such actions are not necessary to prevent WFD before the airplane
reaches the LOV. Many LOVs, however, do depend on accomplishment of
future maintenance actions. As stated in the WFD rule, any maintenance
actions necessary to reach the LOV will be mandated by airworthiness
directives through separate rulemaking actions.
    In the context of WFD, this action is necessary to enable DAHs to
propose LOVs that allow operators the longest operational lives for
their airplanes, and still ensure that WFD will not occur. This
approach allows for an implementation strategy that provides
flexibility to DAHs in determining the timing of service information
development (with FAA approval), while providing operators with
certainty regarding the LOV applicable to their airplanes.
    We have received an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH)
indicating that the aft pressure bulkhead is subject to WFD. Cracks
have been reported in the aft pressure bulkhead web at the web-to-
``Y''-chord interface and have occurred in the aft row of fasteners
connecting the aft pressure bulkhead web to the ``Y''-chord. This
condition, if not corrected, could result in fatigue cracking of the
aft pressure bulkhead web at the ``Y''-chord, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane and rapid decompression of
the fuselage.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1214, Revision 5,
dated January 30, 2015. This service information describes, among other
actions, procedures for repetitive inspections of the aft pressure
bulkhead web for any cracking, incorrectly drilled fastener holes, and
elongated fastener holes; and related investigative and corrective
actions. This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section of this
AD.

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 require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service
Information.'' Refer to this service information for details on the
procedures and compliance times.
    The phrase ``related investigative actions'' is used in this
proposed AD. ``Related investigative actions'' are follow-on actions
that (1) are related to the primary action, and (2) further investigate
the nature of any condition found. Related investigative actions in an
AD could include, for example, inspections.
    The phrase ``corrective actions'' is used in this proposed AD.
``Corrective actions'' correct or address any condition found.
Corrective actions in an AD could include, for example, repairs.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    AD 2012-18-13 R1, Amendment 39-17429 (78 FR 27020, May 9, 2013),
refers to Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1214, Revision 4, dated
December 16, 2011, as an appropriate source of service information for
doing certain actions required by that AD. Since AD 2012-18-13 R1 was
issued, Boeing issued Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1214, Revision 5,
dated January 30, 2015, to address WFD by adding new inspections
specified in tables 9, 10, and 11 of paragraph 1.E.,

``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1214, Revision
5, dated January 30, 2015. Boeing determined that the WFD-based
inspections specified in tables 9, 10, and 11 of paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1214, Revision
5, dated January 30, 2015, affect only Group 2 airplanes because Group
1 airplanes will reach their limit of validity before the compliance
times specified in tables 9, 10, and 11 (Group 1 is for airplanes
having line numbers 1 through 2565; Group 2 is for airplanes having
line numbers 2566 through 3132).
    Therefore, although Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1214,
Revision 5, dated January 30, 2015, is effective for all The Boeing
Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes, this proposed AD applies to only certain The Boeing Company
Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes
(i.e., Group 2 airplanes). This difference is due to the fact that this
proposed AD only addresses the new WFD inspections specified in Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1214, Revision 5, dated January 30, 2015.
    Accomplishing the actions required by paragraphs (g) and (h) of
this proposed AD would terminate the inspections required by paragraphs
(k) and (l) of AD 2012-18-13 R1, Amendment 39-17429 (78 FR 27020, May
9, 2013).
    The service bulletin specifies to contact the manufacturer for
instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this proposed AD
would require repairing those conditions in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 122 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                     inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed
AD.

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 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 this 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.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a notice
that appeared in the Federal Register of October 22, 2021. The document
announced the withdrawal of approval of 216 abbreviated new drug
applications (ANDAs) from multiple applicants, as of November 22, 2021.
The document was published with an incorrect date. In addition, the
document indicated that FDA was withdrawing approval of ANDA 075941,
Strontium Chloride SR-89 Injection, 1 millicurie/milliliter, held by
Bio-Nucleonics, Inc., 1600 Market St., Suite 13200, Philadelphia, PA
19103, for repeated failure to submit annual reports. Before FDA
withdrew the approval of this ANDA, the application holder informed FDA

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP18-186-000]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of
Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed
Southeastern Trail Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Southeastern Trail Project, proposed by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC (Transco) in the above-referenced docket. Transco requests
authorization to construct and operate about 7.7 miles of new natural
gas pipeline located along the existing Transco Mainline, expand three
existing compressor stations in Virginia, and modify 21 existing
facilities in South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Southeastern Trail Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed
project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
    The specific facilities proposed as part of the Southeastern Trail
Project are as follows:
    [ballot] Manassas Loop in Fauquier and Prince William Counties,
Virginia: Construction of approximately 7.7 miles of new 42-inch-
diameter pipeline loop,\1\ co-located along the Transco Mainline from
milepost 1568.13 to 1575.85;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A pipeline loop is a segment of pipe constructed parallel to
an existing pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    [ballot] Compressor Station 185 in Prince William County, Virginia:
Uprating the existing electric-driven compression unit driver from
25,000 to 30,000 horsepower (HP);
    [ballot] Compressor Station 175 in Fluvanna County, Virginia:
Installing one new 22,490 HP turbine-driven compression unit, uprating
the existing electric-driven compression unit driver from 33,000 to
41,250 HP;
    [ballot] Compressor Station 165 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia:
Installing two new 22,490 HP turbine-driven compression units and
abandoning 10 compressor units (totaling 20,000 HP) and related
equipment;
    [ballot] flow reversal modifications and/or deodorization
modifications at:
    [cir] Compressor Station 65 in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana;
    [cir] Compressor Station 115 in Coweta County, Georgia;
    [cir] Compressor Station 116 in Carroll County, Georgia;
    [cir] Compressor Station 120 in Henry County, Georgia;
    [cir] Compressor Station 125 in Walton County, Georgia;
    [cir] Compressor Station 130 in Madison County, Georgia;
    [cir] Compressor Station 135 in Anderson County, South Carolina;
    [cir] Compressor Station 140 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina;
and
    [cir] installation of deodorization facilities at 13 existing
mainline valve facilities in South Carolina and Georgia along the
Transco Mainline.
    The Commission mailed a copy of this Notice of Availability to
federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies;
elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native
American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other interested
individuals and groups; and newspapers and libraries in the project
area. The EA is only available in electronic format. It may be viewed
and downloaded from the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on the
Environmental Documents page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/eis.asp). In addition, the EA may be accessed by using the
eLibrary link on the FERC's website. Click on the eLibrary link

Online Support at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at (866) 208-
3676, or for TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on EA's disclosure and discussion of potential
environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid
or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the
more useful they will be. To ensure that the Commission has the
opportunity to consider your comments prior to making its decision on
this project, it is important that we receive your comments in
Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 11, 2019.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file
your comments to the Commission. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208-
3676 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please carefully follow these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    We published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register on August 31, 2009 (74 FR 44970), entitled ``Nontank Vessel
Response Plans and Other Vessel Response Plan Requirements.'' In it, we
stated our intention to hold one or more public meetings, and to
publish a notice to announce the location and date of the public
meetings. In this notice, we announce those public meetings to receive
comments on this proposed rule.
    In the NPRM, we proposed requiring owners or operators of nontank
vessels to prepare and submit oil spill response plans. The Federal
Water Pollution Control Act defines nontank vessels as self-propelled
vessels of 400 gross tons or greater that operate on the navigable
waters of the United States, carry oil of any kind as fuel for main
propulsion,

and are not tank vessels. The proposed rule would specify the content
of a response plan, and among other issues, address the requirement to
plan for responding to a worst case discharge and a substantial threat
of such a discharge. Additionally, the proposed rule would update the
international Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP)
requirements that apply to nontank vessels and certain tank vessels.
Finally, the proposed rule would require vessel owners and operators to
submit their vessel response plan control number as part of already
required notice of arrival information.
    You may view the NPRM in our online docket, in addition to
supporting documents prepared by the Coast Guard (Regulatory Analysis &
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis), and comments submitted thus
far by going to http://www.regulations.gov. Once there, select the
Advanced Docket Search option on the right side of the screen, insert
USCG-2008-1070 in the Docket ID box, press Enter, and then click on the
item in the Docket ID column. If you do not have access to the
Internet, you may view the docket by visiting the Docket Management
Facility in Room W12-140 on the ground floor of the Department of
Transportation West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington,
DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal holidays. We have an agreement with the Department of
Transportation to use the Docket Management Facility.
    We encourage you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting
comments either orally at a meeting or in writing. If you bring written
comments to a meeting, you may submit them to Coast Guard personnel
specified at the meeting to receive written comments. These comments
will be submitted to our online public docket. All comments received
will be posted without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will
include any personal information you have provided.
    Anyone can search the electronic form of comments received into any
of our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or
signing the comment, if submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). You may review a Privacy Act notice
regarding our public dockets in the January 17, 2008 issue of the
Federal Register (73 FR 3316).

    The Coast Guard will hold three public meetings regarding this
proposed rulemaking on the following dates and at the following
locations:

     Oakland, CA, November 3, 2009, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.,
at the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building, Auditorium, 3rd Floor North

p.m., at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Room 208, Exhibit Hall

    Members of the public may attend these meetings up to the seating
capacity of the rooms. The meetings may conclude before the allotted
time if all matters of concern have been addressed.
    We plan to record each meeting using an audio-digital recorder and
to make that audio recording available through a link in our online
docket. A written summary of comments made and a list of attendees will
be placed in the docket after each meeting concludes.

    Dated: September 21, 2009.
