DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0480]

  Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;

Comment Request; Investigational Device Exemptions Reports and Records

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an

opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain

information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the

Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,

including each proposed extension of an existing collection of

information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the

notice. This notice solicits comments on Investigational Device

Exemptions Reports and Records.

DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of

information by December 22, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information

to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the

collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-

305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,

Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket

number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denver Presley, Jr., Office of

Information Management (HFA-710), Food and Drug Administration, 5600

Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal

agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.

``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of

the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a

third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))

requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal

Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including

each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,

before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with

this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection

of information set forth in this document.

    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA

invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection

of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's

functions, including whether the information will have practical

utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information, including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,

utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways

to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,

including through the use of automated collection techniques, when

appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Investigational Device Exemptions Reports and Records--21 CFR Part 812

(OMB Control Number 0910-0078)--Extension

    Section 520(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the

act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(g)) establishes the statutory authority to collect

information

regarding investigational devices, and establishes rules under which

new medical devices may be tested using human subjects in a clinical

setting. The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997

added section 520(g)(6) to the act and permitted changes to be made to

either the investigational device or to the clinical protocol without

FDA approval of an investigational device exemption (IDE) supplement.

An IDE allows a device, which would otherwise be subject to provisions

of the act, such as premarket notification or premarket approval, to be

used in investigations involving human subjects in which the safety and

effectiveness of the device is being studied. The purpose of part 812

(21 CFR part 812) is to encourage, to the extent consistent with the

protection of public health and safety and with ethical standards, the

discovery and development of useful devices intended for human use. The

IDE regulation is designed to encourage the development of useful

medical devices, and allow investigators the maximum freedom possible,

without jeopardizing the health and safety of the public or violating

ethical standards.

    To do this, the regulation provides for different levels of

regulatory control depending on the level of potential risk the

investigational device presents to human subjects. Investigations of

significant risk devices, ones that present a potential for serious

harm to the rights, safety or welfare of human subjects, are subject to

the full requirements of the IDE regulation. Nonsignificant risk device

investigations, ones that do not present a potential for serious harm,

are subject to the reduced burden of the abbreviated requirements.

    The regulation also includes provisions for treatment IDEs. The

purpose of these provisions are to facilitate the availability, as

early in the device development process as possible, of promising new

devices to patients with life-threatening or serious conditions for

which no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy is available.

Section 812.10 of the act, permits the sponsor of the IDE to request a

waiver to all of the requirements of part 812. This information is

needed for FDA to determine if waiver of the requirements of part 812

will impact the public's health and safety.

    Sections 812.20, 812.25 and 812.27 of the act consist of the

information necessary to file an IDE application with FDA. The

submission of an IDE application to FDA is required only for

significant risk device investigations. Section 812.20 lists the data

requirements for the original IDE application; Section 812.25 lists the

contents of the investigational plan; and Section 812.27 lists the data

relating to previous investigations or testing. The information in this

original IDE application is evaluated by the Center for Devices and

Radiological Health to determine whether the proposed investigation

will reasonably protect the public health and safety, and for FDA to

make a determination to approve the IDE.

    Upon approval of an IDE application by the FDA, a sponsor must

submit certain requests and reports. Under Section 812.35, a sponsor

who wishes to make a change in the investigation which affects the

scientific soundness of the study or the rights, safety, or welfare of

the subjects, is required to submit a request for the change to FDA.

Section 812.150 requires a sponsor to submit reports to FDA. These

requests and reports are submitted to FDA as supplemental applications.

This information is needed for FDA to assure protection of human

subjects and to allow review of the study's progress.

    Section 812.36(c) identifies the information necessary to file a

treatment IDE application. FDA uses this information to determine if

wider distribution of the device is in the interests of the public

health. Section 812.36(f) identifies the reports required to allow FDA

to monitor the size and scope of the treatment IDE, to assess the

sponsor's due diligence in obtaining marketing clearance of the device

and to ensure the integrity of the controlled clinical trials.

    Section 812.140 lists the recordkeeping requirements for

investigators and sponsors. FDA requires this information for tracking

and oversight purposes. Investigators are required to maintain records,

including correspondence and reports concerning the study, records of

receipt, use or disposition of devices, records of each subject's case

history and exposure to the device, informed consent documentation,

study protocol and documentation of any deviation from the protocol.

Sponsors are required to maintain records including correspondence and

reports concerning the study, records of shipment and disposition,

signed investigator agreements, adverse device effects information and

for a nonsignificant risk device study, an explanation of the

nonsignificant risk determination, records of device name and intended

use, study objectives, investigator information, investigational review

board information, and statement on the extent that good manufacturing

practices will be followed.

    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-64634; File No. SR-EDGA-2011-17]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; EDGA Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Amendments to the EDGA Exchange, Inc. Fee Schedule

June 8, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on May 31, 2011, the EDGA Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or the
``EDGA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend its fees and rebates applicable to
Members \3\ of the Exchange pursuant to EDGA Rule 15.1(a) and (c). All
of the changes described herein are applicable to EDGA Members. The
text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at http://www.directedge.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A Member is any registered broker or dealer, or any person
associated with a registered broker or dealer, that has been
admitted to membership in the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend footnote 3 to reflect NYSE's
increase in charge from $0.0021 per share to $0.0023 per share for
removing liquidity in stocks priced below $1.00. The Exchange also
proposes to decrease the rebate on Flag C (routed to Nasdaq BX, removes
liquidity) from $0.0014 per share to $0.0005 per share.
    The Exchange proposes to implement these amendments to its fee
schedule on June 1, 2011.
Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\4\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\5\ in particular, as it is
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its members and other persons using its
facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the decreased rebate on Flag C when EDGA
routes to Nasdaq BX is designed to provide for the equitable allocation
of reasonable dues, fees and other charges as it represents a straight
pass through of Nasdaq BX's decreased rebate from $0.0014 per share to
$0.0005 per share, which is effective June 1, 2011. EDGA believes that
it is reasonable and equitable to pass on these fees to its members.
The Exchange believes that the proposed rate is non-discriminatory in
that it applies uniformly to all Members.
    The increase in fee from $0.0021 per share to $0.0023 per share, as
reflected in footnote 3, is assessed by NYSE for stocks priced below
$1.00. This increase in fee is a pass through of NYSE's increased fee,
effective January 3, 2011. The same rate change was made for orders in
securities priced $1 and over for securities that are routed or re-
routed to NYSE (Flag D) in the Exchange's fee filing effective January
1, 2011.\6\ EDGA believes that it is reasonable and equitable to pass
on these fees to its members. The Exchange believes that the proposed
rate is non-discriminatory in that it applies uniformly to all Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See SR-EDGA-2010-26 (December 28, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also notes that it operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive. The proposed rule change reflects a competitive pricing
structure designed to incent market participants to direct their order
flow to the Exchange. The Exchange believes that the proposed rates are
equitable in that they apply uniformly to all Members. The Exchange
believes the fees and credits remain competitive with those charged by
other venues and therefore continue to be reasonable and equitably
allocated to Members.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \8\ thereunder. At
any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such
action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether
the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No.CP06-1-000]

Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application

October 14, 2005.
    Take notice that on October 5, 2005, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (FGT), 5444 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056-5306, filed
in Docket No. CP06-1-000 an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA), for authorization to construct, own and operate
facilities consisting of 32.6 miles of 36-inch pipeline, 9,800
horsepower of compression and appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project will be completed in two phases to meet customer timing
requirements, as more fully set forth in the Application which is on
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may
be also viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''

link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, please
contact FERCOnline Support at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Specifically, in phase one FGT proposes to: (i) Construct three 36-
inch diameter pipeline loops totaling 17.3 miles of pipeline in
Gilchrist, Levy, and Hernando Counties, Florida, (ii) install a total
of 9,800 horsepower at two existing compressor stations (Station 24 in
Gilchrist County, Florida and Station 26 in Citrus County, Florida),
(iii) re-wheel two existing compressor units at Station 26, (iv)
construct a new interconnect with Southern Natural Gas Company's
proposed Cypress Pipeline in Clay County, Florida; and (v) install and
modify various appurtenant facilities. FGT proposes an in-service date
of May 1, 2007 for the phase one facilities. In phase two FGT proposes
to: (i) construct two 36-inch diameter pipeline loops totaling 15.3
miles of pipeline in Levy and Hernando Counties, Florida, (ii) re-wheel
two existing compressor units at Station 27 in Hillsborough County,
Florida; and (iii) install appurtenant facilities. FGT proposes an in-
service date of May 1, 2009 for the phase two facilities. The proposed
project will create 160,000 MMBtu per day of additional firm Summer
Season capacity. FGT estimates that the total cost of the project will
be $105.52 million.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Stephen T. Veatch, Sr. Director, Certificates and Tariffs (713) 989-
2024, Florida Gas Transmission Company, 5444 Westheimer Road, Houston,
Texas 77056-5306.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

    Comment Date: November 4, 2005.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0038; Directorate Identifier 2013-SW-023-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Eurocopter France)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Airbus Model EC225LP helicopters. This proposed AD would require
repetitive visual and tap test inspections of each main rotor blade
(blade) leading edge stainless steel protective strip (strip) for a
crack, cut, or blind or open debonding (debonding), and taking approved
corrective measures. If there is a crack or if there is debonding that
exceeds acceptable limits, this AD would require, before further
flight, repairing or replacing the blade with an airworthy part. This
proposed AD is prompted by suspected water seepage through a crack in
the blade strip resulting in significant debonding. The proposed
actions are intended to prevent loss of the blade strip, excessive
vibrations induced by blade weight imbalance, and subsequent loss of
control of the helicopter.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 1, 2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Docket: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for sending your
comments electronically.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: Send comments to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590-0001.
     Hand Delivery: Deliver to the ``Mail'' address between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the Docket Operations Office

We may change this proposal in light of the comments we receive.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, issued EASA AD No.
2013-0103, dated May 2, 2013, which supersedes EASA AD No. 2007-0180-E,
dated June 29, 2007, to correct an unsafe condition for the Eurocopter
Model EC225LP helicopters with certain blades installed. EASA advises
that an investigation of significant debonding of a blade strip
revealed rapidly progressing debonding caused by water seepage through
a crack in the blade strip. EASA AD No. 2007-0180-E required repetitive
inspections of the blade strip and accomplishing any corrective
actions. After issuance of EASA AD No. 2007-0180-E, Eurocopter
developed a modified strip and re-identified blade part numbers with
the modified strip. Because these other blades with the modified strip
are still susceptible to debonding, EASA issued superseding AD 2013-
0103 to extend the applicability to the new part-numbered blades.

FAA's Determination

    This helicopter has been approved by the aviation authority of
France and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all known
relevant information and determined that an unsafe condition is likely
to exist or develop on other helicopters of the same type design.

Related Service Information

    Eurocopter issued an Emergency Alert Service Bulletin (EASB) No.
05A010, Revision 2, dated April 22, 2013, for the Model EC225LP
helicopter and for the non-FAA typed certificated Model EC725AP
military helicopter. The EASB specifies a visual check and tapping test
of the bonding of the strip on the leading edge of the blades for
cracks, cuts, and debonding and taking corrective actions as
applicable. Revision 1 to the EASB changed the visual check and the
tapping test so that they can be performed without removing the blades.
Revision 2 extended the applicability to additional part-numbered
blades with a modified strip installed.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require:
     Within 15 hours time-in-service (TIS) and thereafter at
intervals not to exceed 85 hours TIS, visually and tap

test inspecting each blade strip for a crack, a cut, or open or blind
debonding. For purposes of this proposed AD, open debonding, also known
as edge bond separation, occurs when a bonded part becomes unattached
(debonded) leaving the surface under it exposed to open air around the
periphery of the part. Blind debonding occurs when a bonded part
becomes unattached internally yet remains bonded around its entire
periphery.
     If there is debonding beyond acceptable limits or located
outside a specific area, or if there is a crack, before further flight,
repairing or replacing the blade.
     If there is a cut in the blade root polyurethane
protective strip, tap test inspecting the area. If there is no
debonding, tap test inspecting the blade strip every 15 hours TIS. If
there is debonding beyond acceptable limits or located outside a
specific area, before further flight, repairing or replacing the blade.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    If there is a crack in the blade leading edge, this proposed AD
would require repairing or replacing the blade before further flight,
while the EASA AD permits a re-inspection within 15 hours TIS.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 4 helicopters of
U.S. Registry. We estimate that operators may incur the following costs
in order to comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per
work hour. We estimate 4 work hours to inspect the helicopter for a
total of $340 per helicopter and $1,360 for the U.S. operator fleet per
inspection cycle. If necessary, it would take 4 work hours to repair
the blade and $600 for required parts for a total of $940 per
helicopter. It would take about 5 work hours to replace a blade at a
cost of $425 for labor. Parts would cost $315,495 to replace P/N
332A11-0050-01 and $403,650 to replace P/N 332A11-0055-00, for a total
cost of $315,920 and $404,075, respectively.

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, 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 to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Airbus Helicopters (Type Certificate previously held by Eurocopter
France): Docket No. FAA-2014-0038; Directorate Identifier 2013-SW-
023-AD.

(a) Applicability

    This AD applies to Model EC225LP helicopters with a main rotor
blade (blade), part number (P/N) 332A11.0050.00, 332A11.0055.00,
332A11.0050.02, or 332A11.0055.02, installed, certificated in any
category.

(b) Unsafe Condition

    This AD defines the unsafe condition as loss of a blade
stainless steel protective strip (strip), which could result in
excessive vibrations induced by blade weight imbalance and
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

(c) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by April 1, 2014.

(d) Compliance

    You are responsible for performing each action required by this
AD within the specified compliance time unless it has already been
accomplished prior to that time.

(e) Required Actions

    Within 15 hours time-in-service (TIS) and thereafter at
intervals not to exceed 85 hours TIS, visually and tap test inspect
each blade strip for a crack, a cut, or open and blind debonding.
For purposes of this AD, open debonding, also known as edge bond
separation, occurs when a bonded part becomes unattached (debonded)
leaving the surface under it exposed to open air around the
periphery of the part. Blind debonding occurs when a bonded part
becomes unattached internally yet remains bonded around its entire

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface for new standard instrument approach
procedures at the City of Stuart Helistop, Stuart, IA. Controlled
airspace is needed for the safety and management of IFR operations at
the heliport.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010 and effective September 15, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would establish controlled airspace at the City of Stuart
Helistop, Stuart, IA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes Class E airspace at Hermiston Municipal Airport,
Hermiston, OR, to ensure the safety and management of IFR operations at
the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 40142; July 6, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0605 to
establish Class E airspace at Hermiston Municipal Airport, Hermiston,
OR. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E5 airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations part 71
establishes Class E airspace, extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface, at Hermiston Municipal Airport. This area will contain IFR
departures to 1,200 feet above the surface and IFR arrivals descending
below 1,500 feet above the surface. This airspace area is described as
follows: That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
within a 6.4-mile radius of Hermiston Municipal Airport.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial, and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-
100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747SR, and
747SP Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) that applies to certain Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-
100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747SR, and 747SP
series airplanes. The existing AD requires repetitive inspections and
torque checks of the hanger fittings and strut forward bulkhead of the
forward engine mount and adjacent support structure, and visual
inspections of the internal angle and external bulkhead chord and
detailed inspection of internal angles, and corrective actions if
necessary. The existing AD also provides for an optional inspection.
This proposed AD would also require additional inspections of airplanes
that have hi-lok bolts and collars at all of the Group B fastener
locations, except fastener 13, and related investigative and corrective
actions. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the
internal angle and corrective actions, if necessary. This proposed AD
also would require, for certain airplanes, replacing the fasteners,
which terminates certain repetitive inspections. This proposed AD
results from the reports of undertorqued or loose fasteners, a cracked
bulkhead chord, and a fractured back-up angle. We are proposing this AD
to prevent loose fasteners and/or damaged or cracked hanger fittings,
back-up angles, and bulkhead of the forward engine mount, which could
lead to failure of the hanger fitting and bulkhead and consequent
separation of the engine from the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 23, 2010.

Discussion

    On September 14, 2007, we issued AD 2007-19-19, Amendment 39-15210
(72 FR 53939, September 21, 2007), for certain Boeing Model 747-100,
747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747SR,
and 747SP series airplanes. That AD requires repetitive inspections and
torque checks of the hanger fittings and strut forward bulkhead of the
forward engine mount and adjacent support structure, and visual
inspections of the internal angle and external bulkhead chord and
detailed inspection of internal angles, and corrective actions if
necessary. The existing AD also provides for an optional inspection.
That AD resulted from reports of undertorqued or loose fasteners, a
cracked bulkhead chord, and a fractured back-up angle after operators
accomplished the terminating action required by AD 2001-15-02,
Amendment 39-12336 (66 FR 37884, July 20, 2001), which was superseded
by AD 2007-19-19. We issued that AD to detect and correct loose
fasteners and/or damaged or cracked hanger fittings, back-up angles,
and bulkhead of the forward engine mount, which could lead to failure
of the hanger fitting and bulkhead and consequent separation of the
engine from the airplane.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    The preamble to AD 2007-19-19 specifies that we consider the
requirements ``interim action'' and that we were considering requiring
the inspections and applicable related investigative and corrective
actions specified in Part 7 of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-54A2203, Revision 1, dated August 9,
2007, and we have determined that further rulemaking is indeed
necessary; this proposed AD follows from that determination.

Relevant Service Information

    AD 2007-19-19 cited Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-54A2203,
Revision 1, dated August 9, 2007, as the relevant source of
information. Since we issued AD 2007-19-19, the manufacturer has
revised the service information. Boeing has released Alert Service
Bulletin 747-54A2203, Revision 2, dated July 9, 2009.
    Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-54A2203, Revision 2, dated July
9, 2009, specifies that hi-lok bolts and collars at all of the Group B
fastener locations, except fastener 13, need to be replaced with bolts
specified in the service bulletin within 18 months after the service
bulletin is released. (Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-54A2203, dated
August 31, 2000; and Revision 1, dated August 9, 2007; specified that
the hi-lok bolts on these airplanes did not have to be replaced
according to Part 6 of the Accomplishment Instructions if they met the
inspection requirements of Part 2.) The related corrective actions are
replacing the fasteners; removing loose fasteners; tightening all Group
A

and Group B fasteners; tightening all under-torqued or loose Group A
and Group B fasteners; and removing loose fasteners, inspecting the
hole, installing fasteners, and applying optional torque stripes. In
addition, that service bulletin specifies that the fasteners on these
airplanes need to be replaced in accordance with Part 6--Fastener
Replacement. The related investigative actions are doing repetitive
detailed inspections, a torque stripe inspection, and torque checks.
    Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-54A2203, Revision 2, dated July
9, 2009, specifies a compliance time of within 90 days after the date
of Revision 2 of that service bulletin for the Part 2 inspection, and
within 18 months after the date of Revision 2 of that service bulletin
for the Part 6 replacement. For the related investigative actions, that
service bulletin specifies a compliance time ranging from before
further flight to within 18 months after the fasteners are replaced.
For the related corrective actions, that service bulletin specifies a
compliance time ranging from before further flight to within 18 months
after under-torqued or loose fasteners were found.
    For all airplanes, Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-54A2203,
Revision 2, dated July 9, 2009, clarifies the requirements for
conditions in which the torque stripe is not applied and for which no
under-torqued or loose fastener was found by reordering the steps. In
addition, Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-54A2203, Revision 2, dated
July 9, 2009, adds an option for supporting the engine weight, instead
of removing the engine, in Part 7--HFEC Internal Angle Inspection of
the Accomplishment Instructions of that service bulletin. Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 747-54A2203, Revision 2, dated July 9, 2009, also no
longer includes the 60-month compliance time for doing Part 6 of the
Accomplishment Instructions of that service bulletin.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an
unsafe condition that is likely to develop on other airplanes of the
same type design. For this reason, we are proposing this AD, which
would supersede AD 2007-19-19 and would retain certain requirements of
the existing AD. This proposed AD would also require repetitive
inspections of the internal angle, and corrective actions if necessary,
and this proposed AD would also require, for certain airplanes,
replacing the fasteners.

Differences Between the Proposed AD and Service Information

    The service information specifies to contact the manufacturer for
instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this AD requires
repairing those conditions in one of the following ways:
     Using 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 whom we have
authorized to make those findings.
    Part 7--HFEC Internal Angle Inspection of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-54A2203, Revision 2,
dated July 9, 2009, also provides an option to support the engine
weight rather than removing the engine. This AD requires the removal of
the engine to perform the inspection.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 266 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. The following table provides the estimated costs for
U.S. operators to comply with 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 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. See the
ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

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
