<I. AgroGreen Petition Summary>

<<6F7111>

>

<A. Product Name and Proposed Use Practices>

Product Name:

<Chancellor.

Proposed Use Practices:

Registration of Chancellor is being proposed as a liquid formulation for
the stimulation and protection of plant roots and the suppression of
plant pathogenic nematodes on fruits, vegetables, field crops, turf and
ornamentals. Chancellor suppresses nematode populations. Chancellor is
applied for soil incorporation by drenching, placement in furrow or by
drip irrigation; it is also suitable for application by foliar spray or
fertigation on turf and may be applied with a pressure or hose-end spray
or drenched when treating home lawns and gardens. Application rates:
soil application: from 1 to 12 pints per acre; turf: 1 oz/gal water;
ornamentals: 1 to 6 ounces per gallon water; seed treatment: 1 to 12 oz
per 100 pounds; soil treatment/compost: 8 to 24 oz per 50 pounds;
residential lawn and garden: ½ to 2 oz per gallon of water applied at
the rate of 1 gallon solution per 10 square feet.

>

<B. Product Identity/Chemistry>

<	1. Identity of the pesticide and corresponding residues. >

The active ingredient in Chancellor is Bacillus firmus strain I-1582.
Bacillus firmus is a Gram-positive, nonpathogenic and harmless
bacterium. Bacillus firmus is ubiquitous in nature and may be isolated
from the air, streams, soils, oil wells, oceans and a variety of plant
root surfaces.

A summary of the Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 product identity is as
follows:

Trade Name: Chancellor

Scientific Name: Bacillus firmus strain I-1582

Morphology: The isolate has been described as having rods with a length
of 3.2 to 5.0 micrometers and a width of 1.0 to 1.3 micrometers. The
spores are ellipsoid and there is no swelling of the sporangium. The
maximum temperature for growth is 40° to 45°C and the minimum
temperature is 5° to 10°C. Pigments have been noted for growth on
certain mediums; growth on CASO appears yellow while growth on FP
appears cream-colored. There is no anaerobic growth.

<	2. Magnitude of residues at the time of harvest and method used to
determine the residue.>

No residues of Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 are anticipated in treated
crops at harvest. OPPTS Guideline 885.2000 states that “If Tier I
toxicology tests indicate no toxic or other harmful properties, then no
residue data (with the general exception of a monitoring method) would
be indicated and thus a recommendation for an exemption from the
requirements of a tolerance can be made.” Studies with Bacillus firmus
strain I-1582 demonstrate low mammalian toxicity. No pathogenicity or
infectivity was observed in any of the tests conducted with Bacillus
firmus strain I-1582. Because it is naturally occurring, pesticide
residues cannot be distinguished from those that exist in the
environment.

<	3. A statement of why an analytical method of detecting and measuring
the levels of the pesticide residue are not needed. >

OPPTS Guideline 885.2000 states that “If Tier I toxicology tests
indicate no toxic or other harmful properties, then no residue data
(with the general exception of a monitoring method) would be indicated
and thus a recommendation for an exemption from the requirements of a
tolerance can be made.” Studies with Bacillus firmus strain I-1582
demonstrate low mammalian toxicity. No pathogenicity or infectivity was
observed in any of the tests conducted with Bacillus firmus strain
I-1582. Further, Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 is a naturally-occurring
microorganism and Bacillus firmus is widespread in the environment.
Also, because of the low toxicity potential and its natural occurrence,
even if residues occur on treated agricultural food/feed items, they
would not harm U.S. human adult, children and infant populations.

<C. Mammalian Toxicological Profile>

AgroGreen conducted the required toxicology studies to support its
petition for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance and
associated registration. The studies conducted show low mammalian
toxicity for Bacillus firmus strain I-1582. No pathogenicity or
infectivity was observed in any of the tests conducted with Bacillus
firmus strain I-1582. Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 does not produce
toxins.

Toxicology data in support of the exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 included studies with the
cell mass (technical) and with the formulated product as follows:

Acute Toxicity and/or Pathogenicity

Guideline 885.3050: Acute oral toxicity/pathogenicity (spores – tan
powder [technical]): The acute oral toxicity/pathogenicity for B. firmus
spores is greater than 108 CFU/animal (rat). There was no mortality
during the study. Total clearance of the live organism from the blood
occurred by Day 7 and clearance from the remaining test organs occurred
by Day 14.

Guideline 885.3100: Acute dermal toxicity/pathogenicity (formulated
product): The estimated LD50 was determined to be > 5050 mg/kg (rabbit).
No mortality occurred during the study. There were no clinical signs of
toxicity at any time throughout the study. The gross necropsy conducted
at termination of the study revealed no observable abnormalities.

Guideline 885.3150: Acute pulmonary toxicology/pathogenicity (spores –
tan powder [technical]): The test substance produced no toxicity or
indications of pathogenicity when administered by pulmonary instillation
to albino rats at a dose of > 108 CFU/animal. There was no mortality
during the study. Clearance of the live organism from all tissues
analyzed was complete by Day 14.

Guideline 885.3200: Acute injection toxicology/pathogenicity (I.V)
(spores – tan powder [technical]): The test substance produced no
toxicity or indications of pathogenicity when administered intravenously
to albino rats at a dose of 107 CFU/animal. There was no mortality
during the study. Clearance of the live organism from all tissues
analyzed was complete by Day 21.

<>

<D. Aggregate Exposure>

<	1. Dietary exposure.>

Bacillus firmus is naturally-occurring and widespread in the
environment. The low toxicity and nonpathogenicity/infectivity of
Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 is demonstrated by the data summarized
above. The product will be applied by incorporation into soil and/or by
drenching.

<	i. Food. >

It is not anticipated that residues of Bacillus firmus strain I-1582
will occur in treated raw agricultural commodities. Also, because of the
low toxicity potential and its natural occurrence, even if residues
occur on treated agricultural food/feed items, they would not harm U.S.
human adult, children and infant populations. The product will be
applied by incorporation into soil and/or by drenching. Because Bacillus
firmus strain I-1582 is naturally occurring, pesticide residues cannot
be distinguished from those that exist in the environment.

<	ii. Drinking Water. >

It is not anticipated that residues of Bacillus firmus strain I-1582
will occur in drinking water. Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 is
ubiquitous in nature and may be isolated from the air, water (seas,
streams, oceans, rivers), soils and a variety of plant root surfaces.
Because Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 is naturally occurring in the
environment, pesticide residues in drinking water cannot be
distinguished from those that exist in the environment.

<	2. Non-dietary exposure. >

The potential for non-occupational, non-dietary exposure to the general
population is not expected to be significant. Bacillus firmus strain
I-1582 is ubiquitous in nature and may be isolated from the air, water
(seas, streams, oceans, rivers), soils and a variety of plant root
surfaces. Because Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 is naturally occurring
in the environment, pesticide residues cannot be distinguished from
those that exist in the environment.

<E. Cumulative Effects>

There is no anticipated potential for cumulative effects of Bacillus
firmus strain I-1582 and other substances that have a common mechanism
of toxicity. In the rat acute oral study, total clearance of the live
organism from the blood occurred by Day 7 and clearance from the
remaining test organs by Day 14. The rat acute pulmonary study showed
total clearance of the live organisms from the blood, kidneys and liver
by Day 7 and clearance from the remaining test organs by Day 14. The
acute injection study showed clearance of the live organism from the
cecum contents and liver by Day 14 and clearance from the remaining test
organs by Day 21. Toxic effects produced by Bacillus firmus strain
I-1582 should not be cumulative with those of any other chemical
compounds.

<F. Safety Determination>

<	1. U.S. population.

Bacillus firmus is a naturally-occurring microorganism which is
widespread and ubiquitous in the environment. The low toxicity of
Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 is demonstrated by the data summarized
above. Based on this information, the aggregate exposure to Bacillus
firmus strain I-1582 over a lifetime should not pose appreciable risks
to human health. There is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
result from aggregate exposure to Bacillus firmus strain I-1582
residues. Exempting Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 from the requirement
of a tolerance should be considered safe and pose insignificant risk.

>

<	2. Infants and children. >

The toxicity and exposure data are sufficiently complete to adequately
address the potential for additional sensitivity of infants and children
to residues of Bacillus firmus strain I-1582. There is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 residues.

<G. Effects on the Immune and Endocrine Systems>

No specific tests have been conducted with Bacillus firmus strain I-1582
to determine whether it may have an effect in humans that is similar to
an effect produced by a naturally-occurring estrogen or other endocrine
effects. However, it is not likely that Bacillus firmus strain I-1582
would have estrogen or endocrine effects because:

It is a naturally-occurring microorganism which is widespread and
ubiquitous in the environment.

It has demonstrated low mammalian toxicity

No pathogenicity, infectivity or systemic effects  were observed in any
of the tests conducted with Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 (except very
slight to slight erythema on Day 1 of the acute dermal study):

When administered orally to rats the total clearance of the live
organism from the blood occurred by Day 7 and clearance from the
remaining test organs occurred by Day 14.

When administered by pulmonary instillation to rats, clearance of the
live organism from all tissues analyzed was complete by Day 14.

When administered intravenously to rats clearance of the live organism
from all tissues analyzed was complete by Day 21.

An exhaustive literature search of the AGRICOLA, TOXLINE, BIOLOGICAL
ABSTRACTS, Life Sciences 1990-1998, PubMed (indexed for MEDLINE) and
OCLC databases for all years of available publications was conducted.
There were no reports of pathogenic or systemic effects.

Bacillus firmus strain I-1582 does not secrete any toxins or
antibiotics.

<H. Existing Tolerances>

The applicant is not aware of any tolerances or exemptions from the
requirement of a tolerance that may have been established or applied for
domestically, other than this petition.

<I. International Tolerances>

The applicant is not aware of any tolerances or exemptions from the
requirement of a tolerance that may have been established or applied for
internationally, other than this petition.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-27023; Directorate Identifier 98-ANE-47-AD;
Amendment 39-16971; AD 2012-04-15]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT9D series turbofan engines. That AD
currently requires revisions to the Airworthiness Limitations Section
(ALS) of the manufacturer's Instructions for Continued Airworthiness
(ICA) to include required enhanced inspection of selected critical
life-limited parts at each piece-part opportunity. This new AD requires
additional revisions to the JT9D series engines ALS sections of the
manufacturer's ICA. This AD was prompted by the need to require
enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts of JT9D
series engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent critical life-limited
rotating engine part failure, which could result in an uncontained
engine failure and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective April 23, 2012.

ADDRESSES:

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2007-05-17, Amendment 39-14978 (72 FR 10350,
March 8, 2007). That AD applies to the specified products. That NPRM
published in the Federal Register on November 22, 2011 (76 FR 72130).
That NPRM proposed to continue to require revisions to the ALS of the
manufacturer's ICA to include required enhanced inspection of selected
critical life-limited parts at each piece-part opportunity. That NPRM
also proposed to require additional revisions to the JT9D series
engines ALS sections of the manufacturer's ICA.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that 438 JT9D series engines are installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry and will be affected by this AD. We also estimate that
about 4 work hours per engine are needed to perform the actions, and
that the average labor rate is $85 per work hour. Since this is an
added inspection requirement that will be part of the normal
maintenance cycle, no additional parts costs are involved. Based on
these figures, we estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators
to be $148,920.

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

    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,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 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.

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0969; Project Identifier MCAI-2020-00853-T]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposed AD
was prompted by a report that certain retaining rings could cause
damage to frame forks, brackets and edge frames, and their surface
protection; subsequent investigation showed that the depth of the frame
fork spotfacing on structural parts is inadequate to accommodate the
retaining ring. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections
of certain areas of each cargo door for damage and corrective action.
This proposed AD would also provide an optional terminating
modification, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which will be incorporated by reference. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by December
10, 2020.

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

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0144, dated June 29, 2020
(``EASA AD 2020-0144'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a report that certain retaining
rings could cause damage to frame forks, brackets and edge frames, and
their surface protection; subsequent investigation showed that the
depth of the frame fork spotfacing on structural parts is inadequate to
accommodate the retaining ring. The FAA is proposing this AD to address
inadequate frame fork spotfacing depth for the retaining rings, which
could reduce the structural integrity of the airplane. See the MCAI for
additional background information.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0144 describes procedures for repetitive inspections
of the edge frames, brackets, frame forks, and the access cover on the
internal side of each cargo door for damage (including cracks and
corrosion) and corrective actions. Corrective actions include repair or
rework. EASA AD 2020-0144 also describes procedures for an optional
modification of each affected cargo door, which terminates the
repetitive inspections. This material 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.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the FAA
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 EASA AD 2020-0144 described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2020-0144
will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed
AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2020-0144 in its
entirety, through that incorporation, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular
section in the EASA AD does not mean that operators need comply only
with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to
``all required actions and compliance times,'' compliance with this AD
requirement is

not limited to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance
Time(s)'' in the EASA AD. Service information specified in EASA AD
2020-0144 that is required for compliance with EASA AD 2020-0144 will
be available on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2020-0969 after the FAA final
rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 13 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 work-hours x $85 per hour = $2,040........................              $0           $2,040          $26,520
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                      Estimated Costs for Optional Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Labor cost                             Parts cost                       Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 work-hours x $85 per hour = $765.....  Up to $8,570.......................  Up to $9,335.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed AD.
    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty
coverage for affected individuals. As a result, the FAA has included
all known costs in the cost estimate.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

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 all
The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER
series airplanes, Model 757 airplanes, Model 767 airplanes, and Model
777 airplanes. This proposed AD results from fuel system reviews
conducted by the manufacturer. This proposed AD would require an
inspection to determine if certain spar-mounted motor-operated valve
actuators for the spar-mounted fuel valves are installed, and
replacement of any affected actuators. We are proposing this AD to
prevent electrical energy from lightning, hot shorts, or fault current
from entering the fuel tank through the actuator shaft, which could
result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 22,
2014.

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

Discussion

    The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in fuel
tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the
adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes
subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for
fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, we issued a
regulation titled ``Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review,
Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements''
(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards
for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this

rule included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (``SFAR 88,''
Amendment 21-78, and subsequent Amendments 21-82 and 21-83).
    Among other actions, SFAR 88 (66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001) requires
certain type design (i.e., type certificate (TC) and supplemental type
certificate (STC)) holders to substantiate that their fuel tank systems
can prevent ignition sources in the fuel tanks. This requirement
applies to type design holders for large turbine-powered transport
airplanes and for subsequent modifications to those airplanes. It
requires them to perform design reviews and to develop design changes
and maintenance procedures if their designs do not meet the new fuel
tank safety standards. As explained in the preamble to the rule, we
intended to adopt airworthiness directives to mandate any changes found
necessary to address unsafe conditions identified as a result of these
reviews.
    In evaluating these design reviews, we have established four
criteria intended to define the unsafe conditions associated with fuel
tank systems that require corrective actions. The percentage of
operating time during which fuel tanks are exposed to flammable
conditions is one of these criteria. The other three criteria address
the failure types under evaluation: single failures, single failures in
combination with a latent condition(s), and in-service failure
experience. For all four criteria, the evaluations included
consideration of previous actions taken that may mitigate the need for
further action.
    We have determined that the actions identified in this AD are
necessary to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel
tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result
in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
    We are proposing this AD to prevent electrical energy from
lightning, hot shorts, or fault current from entering the fuel tank
through the actuator shaft, which could result in fuel tank explosions
and consequent loss of the airplane.

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 these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require an inspection to determine whether
any spar-mounted motor-operated valve (MOV) actuators for the spar-
mounted fuel valves having part number (P/N) MA20A1001-1 (S343T003-39)
are installed, and replacement of any affected actuator with a
serviceable, FAA-approved MOV actuator other than one having P/N
MA20A1001-1 (S343T003-39).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 2,140 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.

 number.                             hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection.
We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need
these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs

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 proposed 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.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the
manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent electrical energy
from lightning, hot shorts, or fault current from entering the fuel
tank through the actuator shaft, which could result in fuel tank
explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Inspection To Determine Part Number

    Within 60 months after the effective date of this AD: Do an

(MOV) actuators having part number (P/N) MA20A1001-1 (S343T003-39)
for the fuel tanks or fuel feed system are installed on the
airplane. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in
lieu of this inspection if the part number of the actuator can be
conclusively determined from that review.

(h) Replacement

    If, during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD,
any MOV actuator having (P/N) MA20A1001-1 (S343T003-39) for the fuel
tanks is installed: Within 60 months after the effective date of
this AD, replace the affected MOV actuator with a serviceable, FAA-
approved MOV actuator other than one having P/N MA20A1001-1
(S343T003-39).

    As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install an
MOV actuator having part number MA20A1001-1 (S343T003-39) on any
airplane.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested
using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14
CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local
Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (k) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair required by this AD if it is approved by the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization
(ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to make
those findings. For a repair method to be approved, the repair must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.

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 would amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Leesville City Airport, Leesville, LA and Harry P.
Williams Memorial Airport, Patterson, LA, due to the decommissioning of
associated navigation aids.

holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at: Leesville Airport,
Leesville, LA, to within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from a 6.5-mile
radius) of Leesville Airport, and within 3.7 miles each side of the
360[deg] bearing from the airport (modified from 3.6 miles from each
side of the 345[deg] bearing) extending from the 6.4- mile radius
(reduced from a 6.5- mile radius) to 12.3 miles (reduced from 12.2
miles) north of the airport, and removing the segment within 2.5 miles
each side of the 000[deg] bearing of the Leesville NDB extending from
the 6.5- mile radius to 7.3 miles north of the airport; and Harry P.
Williams Memorial Airport, Patterson, LA; by removing the segment
within 2.5 mile each side of the 233[deg] bearing from the Patterson
RBN extending from the 6.5-mile radius to 7.5 miles southwest of the
airport.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
the Leesville (NBD) and Patterson RBN, and cancellation of the
navigation aid approaches at these airports. Controlled airspace is
necessary for the safety and management of standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at these airports.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

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

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Registration of Food Facilities

OMB Control Number 0910-0502--Extension

    The Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and
Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act) amended the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), which, among other things, requires
domestic and foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or
hold food for human or animal consumption in the United States to
register with FDA. Sections 1.230 to 1.235 of our regulations (21 CFR
1.230 to 1.235) set forth the requirements for the registration of food
facilities. Information provided to us under these regulations helps us
to notify quickly the facilities that might be affected by a deliberate
or accidental contamination of the food supply. In addition, data
collected through registration is used to support FDA enforcement
activities and to screen imported food shipments.
    Advance notice of imported food allows FDA, with the support of the
Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, to target import inspections
more effectively and help protect the nation's food supply against
terrorist acts and other public health emergencies. If a facility is
not registered or the registration for a facility is not updated when
necessary, we may not be able to contact the facility and may not be
able to target import inspections effectively in case of a known or
potential threat to the food supply or other food-related emergency,
putting consumers at risk of consuming hazardous food products that
could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
    To assist respondents of the information collection we developed
the following forms. Each facility that manufactures, processes, packs,
or holds food for human or animal consumption in the United States must
register with FDA using Form FDA 3537 entitled ``Food Facility
Registration'' (Sec.  1.231), unless exempt under 21 CFR 1.226 from the
requirement to register. To cancel a registration, respondents must use
Form FDA 3537a entitled ``Cancellation of Food Facility Registration''
(Sec.  1.235). The terms ``Form FDA 3537'' and ``Form FDA 3537a'' refer
to both the paper version of each form and the electronic system known
as the Food Facility Registration Module, which is available at https://www.access.fda.gov/. Beginning in January 2020, registrations, updates,
and cancellations will be required to be submitted electronically.
Domestic facilities are required to register whether or not food from
the facility enters interstate commerce. Foreign facilities that
manufacture, process, pack, or hold food also are required to register
unless food from that facility undergoes further processing (including
packaging) by another foreign facility outside the United States.
However, if the further manufacturing/processing conducted by the
subsequent facility consists of adding labeling or any similar activity
of a de minimis nature, the former facility is required to register.
    In addition to the initial registration requirements, a facility is
required to submit timely updates within 60 days of a change to any
required information on its registration form, using Form FDA 3537
(Sec.  1.234), and to cancel its registration when the facility ceases
to operate or is sold to new owners or ceases to manufacture, process,
pack, or hold food for consumption in the United States, using Form FDA
3537a (Sec.  1.235).
    Registration is one of several tools under the Bioterrorism Act
that enables us to act quickly in responding to a threatened or actual
bioterrorist attack on the U.S. food supply or other food-related
emergency. Further, in the event of an outbreak of foodborne illness,
the information provided helps us determine the source and cause of the
event and enables us to quickly notify food facilities that might be
affected by an outbreak, terrorist attack, or other emergency. Finally,
the registration requirements enable us to quickly identify and remove
from commerce an article of food for which there is a reasonable
probability that the use of, or exposure to, such article of food will
cause serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or
animals.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of
information are owners, operators, or agents in charge of domestic or
foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for
human or animal consumption in the United States.
    In the Federal Register of April 19, 2019 (84 FR 16519), we
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. One comment was received offering general
support for the information collection.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
