SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60554; File No. SR-NYSEAmex-2009-42]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Amex LLC; Notice of Filing of
Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed
Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, Relating to the Electronic
Trading of Complex Orders

August 21, 2009.

I. Introduction

    On July 9, 2009, NYSE Amex LLC (``NYSE Amex'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposal to adopt rules
relating to the electronic trading of complex orders. The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on July

20, 2009.\3\ NYSE Amex filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposal on August
19, 2009.\4\ The Commission received no comments regarding the proposed
rule change. This order provides notice of filing of Amendment No. 1 to
the proposed rule change and grants accelerated approval to the
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60297 (July 13,
2009), 74 FR 35223.
    \4\ Amendment No. 1 modifies the text of the proposed rule to
add to NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(c)(i) a reference to ``quotes'' that was
omitted erroneously, and to replace an incorrect cross-reference in
NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(c)(ii) with a reference to executions ``against
such new order(s) or quote(s)'' to describe the execution of resting
Electronic Complex Orders. The revision to NYSE Amex Rule
980NY(c)(ii) harmonizes the rule text with the description provided
in the purpose section of the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    NYSE Amex proposes to adopt NYSE Amex Rule 980NY, ``Electronic
Complex Order Trading,'' to describe the trading of Electronic Complex
Orders on NYSE Amex. Electronic Complex Orders include any Complex
Order, as defined in NYSE Amex Rule 900.3NY(e), and any Stock/option
Order, as defined in NYSE Amex Rule 9003.NY(h), that is entered into
the NYSE Amex system.\5\ The definition of Complex Order is consistent
with the definition of complex trade used for purposes of the Plan For
the Purpose of Creating and Operating an Intermarket Option Linkage
(``Linkage Plan'') in connection with the Linkage Plan's exemption from
trade-through liability for complex trades. Accordingly, the individual
legs of an Electronic Complex Order may be executed at prices outside
the National Best Bid or Offer, although no leg of an Electronic
Complex Order will be executed at a price outside of the NYSE Amex best
bid or offer for that leg.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY. NYSE Amex Rule 900.3NY(e) defines
a Complex Order as ``any order involving the simultaneous purchase
and/or sale of two or more different option series in the same
underlying security, for the same account, in a ratio that is equal
to or greater than one-to-three (.333) and less than or equal to
three-to-one (3.00) and for the purpose of executing a particular
investment strategy.'' NYSE Rule 900.3NY(h) defines a Stock/option
Order as ``an order to buy or sell a stated number of units of an
underlying stock or a security convertible into the underlying stock
(``convertible security'') coupled with the purchase or sale of
option contract(s) on the opposite side of the market representing
either (A) the same number of units of the underlying stock or
convertible security, or (B) the number of units of the underlying
stock necessary to create a delta neutral position, but in no case
in a ratio greater than 8 option contracts per unit of trading of
the underlying stock or convertible security established for that
series by the Clearing Corporation.''
    \6\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An Electronic Complex Order entered into the NYSE Amex system is
routed to the Complex Matching Engine (``CME'') for possible execution
against other Electronic Complex Orders or against individual quotes
and orders in the Consolidated Book.\7\ Electronic Complex Orders that
are not executed immediately by the CME are routed to the Consolidated
Book.\8\ Electronic Complex Orders in the Consolidated Book are ranked
in price/time priority based on the total net debit or credit price for
the order and the time of order entry, provided that customer
Electronic Complex Orders are ranked ahead of non-customer Complex
Orders at the same price.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(a).
    \8\ Id.
    \9\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The CME will automatically execute an incoming marketable
Electronic Complex Order against an Electronic Complex Order in the
Consolidated Book or, if the incoming order is not marketable against
another Electronic Complex Order, against individual orders or quotes
in the Consolidated Book that can fill the incoming order in full or in
a permissible ratio.\10\ Notwithstanding the foregoing, individual
Customer orders in the Consolidated Book that could fill an incoming
Electronic Complex Order in full, or in a permissible ratio, would have
priority over an Electronic Complex Order in the Consolidated Book at
the same price.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(c)(i).
    \11\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Non-marketable Electronic Complex Orders will rest in the
Consolidated Book. The CME will monitor interest in the leg markets,
and will execute a resting Electronic Complex Order against new
order(s) or quote(s) entered into the Consolidated Book if the new
order(s) or quote(s) can execute the resting Electronic Complex Order
in full or in a permissible ratio.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(c)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Amex market participants will be able to view Electronic
Complex Orders in the Consolidated Book via an electronic interface and
may submit Electronic Complex Orders to the CME to trade against orders
in the Consolidated Book.\13\ A Specialist will not have a guaranteed
allocation when an Electronic Complex Order executes against either the
Specialist's Electronic Complex Order or its interest in the leg
market.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(c)(iii).
    \14\ See NYSE Amex Rules 980NY(c)(i) and (iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Electronic Complex Orders may be executed in one-cent increments
regardless of the minimum price variation otherwise applicable to the
individual legs of the order.\15\ In addition, the price of at least
one leg of an Electronic Complex Order must trade at a price that is
better than the corresponding price of all customer bids or offers in
the Consolidated Book for the same series by at least one standard
trading increment, as defined in NYSE Amex Rule 960NY.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY, Commentary .01.
    \16\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY, Commentary .02.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Stock/option Orders with one options leg that are submitted to the
CME will trade in the following sequence: (1) Against other Stock/
option Orders in the Consolidated Book, using public customer priority
and then time priority; (2) against individual orders or quotes,
provided that the Stock/option Order can be executed in full or in a
permissible ratio; and (3) against orders or quotes submitted by market
participants.\17\ Notwithstanding these priority provisions, the option
leg of a Stock/option Order will not be executed at NYSE Amex's best
bid or offer in that series if one or more public customer orders are
resting at that price unless the options leg trades with such public
customer order(s).\18\ A Stock/option Order with more than one options
leg will be handled in the same manner as a Stock/option Order with a
single option leg, except that the requirement to trade with existing
public customer interest at NYSE Amex's best bid or offer will apply
only if there are public customer orders at NYSE Amex's best bid or
offer for each of the legs of the order.\19\

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

III. Discussion

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange.\20\ In particular, the Commission finds that the
proposal, as amended, is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,\21\ which requires, in part, that the rules of a national
securities exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
to remove impediments to and

perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As discussed above, all NYSE Amex market participants will be able
to view Electronic Complex Orders in the Consolidated Book and submit
Electronic Complex Orders to the CME to trade against orders in the
Consolidated Book. Accordingly, the Commission believes that the
proposal could increase the transparency of Electronic Complex Orders
and facilitate their execution.
    The proposal provides customer Electronic Complex Orders with
priority over non-customer Electronic Complex Orders at the same
price,\22\ and also preserves the priority of customer orders in the
individual leg markets. In this regard, if individual customer orders
in the Consolidated Book can execute an incoming Electronic Complex
Order in full, or in a permissible ratio, at the same total net debit
or credit as an Electronic Complex Order in the Consolidated Book, the
individual customer orders will have priority.\23\ Further, when an
Electronic Complex Order is executed, the price of at least one leg of
the order must trade at a price that is better than the corresponding
price of all customer bids or offers in the Consolidated Book for that
series by at least one standard trading increment.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(b).
    \23\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY(c)(i).
    \24\ See NYSE Amex Rule 980NY, Commentary .02.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that it is reasonable and consistent with
the Act for NYSE Amex not to provide a guaranteed allocation to
Specialists, as described above, because Specialists do not have
quoting obligations for complex strategies.
    Finally, the Commission believes that the proposal could facilitate
the execution of stock-option orders on the Amex by providing for the
electronic handling and execution of these orders, which currently must
be handled manually. The Commission notes that proposal provides for
the execution of stock-option orders submitted to the CME in a manner
that is consistent with the Amex's existing priority rules for stock-
option orders, which provide the options leg of a stock-option order
with priority over bids (offers) in the trading crowd at the same
price, but not over public customer orders in the Consolidated
Book.\25\ Accordingly, the Commission finds that the NYSE Amex rules
concerning the execution of Stock/option Orders submitted to the CME
are consistent with the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See NYSE Amex Rule 963NY(d). The Commission notes that the
proposed rules governing the handling of Stock/option Orders are
substantially similar to rules adopted by the Chicago Board Options
Exchange, Incorporated, which the Commission reviewed previously.
See CBOE Rule 6.53C, Commentary .06. See also Securities Exchange
Act Release Nos. 56903 (December 5, 2007), 72 FR 70356 (December 11,
2007) (File No. SR-CBOE-2007-68) (order approving rules relating to
the electronic handling and execution of stock-option orders); and
59585 (March 17, 2009), 74 FR 12416 (March 24, 2009) (File No. SR-
CBOE-2009-017) (notice of filing and immediate effectiveness of
rules allowing conversions and reversals to be routed to the
electronic complex order book).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 1

    The Commission finds good cause to approve the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, prior to the thirtieth day
after publication for comment in the Federal Register. Amendment No. 1,
which inserts a reference to ``quotes'' that was omitted erroneously
and replaces an incorrect cross-reference in the proposed rule text,
help to clarify the proposed rule change and do not differ materially
from the proposal as published in the Federal Register on July 19,
2009. Accordingly, the Commission finds good cause, consistent with
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\26\ to approve the proposed rule change,
as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0712; Product Identifier 2019-CE-013-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. 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 certain Piper Aircraft, Inc. Model PA-34-220T airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by a report of damage to the rudder flight
control cables and the emergency power supply (EPS) system wiring due
to inadequate clearance from the EPS wiring harness. This proposed AD
would require inspecting the rudder flight control cables and the EPS
wiring for damage, replacing damaged cables and wires if necessary, and
re-routing the EPS wiring harness to ensure proper clearance between
the EPS and the rudder flight control cables. The FAA is issuing this
proposed AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by September
11, 2020.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2020-0712;
Product Identifier 2019-CE-013-AD'' at the beginning of your comments.
The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date and may
amend this proposed AD because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments we receive, without change, to
https://regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact it receives about this proposed AD.

Confidential Business Information

    Confidential Business Information (CBI) is commercial or financial
information that is both customarily and actually treated as private by
its owner. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552),
CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to
this NPRM contain commercial or financial information that is
customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this NPRM, it is important that you
clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each page
of your submission containing CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat
such marked submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they will
not be placed in the public docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing
CBI should be sent to Bryan Long, Aerospace Engineer, Atlanta ACO
Branch, FAA, 1701 Columbia Avenue, College Park, Georgia 30337. Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Discussion

    The FAA received a report from Piper Aircraft, Inc., that the
emergency power supply (EPS) system wiring on Model PA-34-220T
airplanes is installed in a way that may cause the wires to chafe
against the rudder flight control cable. Use of the rudder flight
control cable and the motion of the cable rubbing against the EPS
wiring can wear through the rudder flight control cable insulation and
cause an electrical path to ground. The flow of the electrical current
can burn (arch) through the rudder flight control cable strands,
eventually severing the rudder flight control cable.
    This condition, if not addressed, could result in electrical arcing
between the EPS and the rudder flight control cables with consequent
failure of the rudder flight control system. This failure could cause
loss of yaw control and lead to loss of control of the airplane during
an engine out condition/operation.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Piper Aircraft, Inc., Service Bulletin No. 1337,
dated February 15, 2019. The service bulletin contains procedures for
inspecting the rudder flight control cables and the EPS wiring for
damage, replacing damaged cables and wires, and re-routing the EPS
wiring harness to the opposite side of the EPS bracket to improve
clearance from the rudder flight control cable. 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.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is proposing this AD because it evaluated all 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD would affect 25 airplanes
of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

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

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
airplanes that might need actions:

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

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

(ATA) of America Code 27. Flight Controls.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a report of damage to the rudder flight
control cables and the emergency power supply (EPS) system wiring
due to inadequate clearance from the EPS wiring harness. The FAA is
issuing this AD to detect, correct, and prevent damaged rudder
flight control cables and EPS system wiring. The unsafe condition,
if not addressed, could result in electrical arcing between the EPS
and the rudder flight control cables with consequent failure of the
rudder flight control system. This failure could cause loss of yaw
control and lead to loss of control of the airplane during an engine
out condition/operation.

(f) Compliance

    Unless already done, comply with this AD within 50 hours time-
in-service after the effective date of this AD or within 6 months
after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first.

(g) Inspect, Replace, and Relocate

    (1) Inspect the rudder flight control cables and the EPS wiring
for chafing and damage by following step 3 of the Instructions in
Piper Aircraft, Inc., Service Bulletin No. 1337, dated February 15,
2019 (Piper SB No. 1337). If there is any chafing or damage, before
further flight, replace the rudder flight control cable and EPS
wiring.

    (2) Relocate the EPS wiring harness by following steps 4 through
12 of the Instructions in Piper SB No. 1337.

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Atlanta ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority to
approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found

    (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) For service information that contains steps that are labeled
as Required for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs
(h)(3)(i) and (ii) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. An AMOC is required for any deviations to RC steps,
including substeps and identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 226 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of
2007 (FDAAA) directs FDA to issue regulations establishing a UDI system
for medical devices. FDA is developing proposed regulations to
establish this UDI system to strengthen and improve FDA's enforcement
of other statutory authorities and improve the identification of
devices through distribution and use. This workshop will not address
the FDA's UDI regulatory framework. However, UDI systems have been
under development for some years by the U.S. and global device industry
and some device manufacturers have been incorporating UDI into their
product labeling and packaging. See http://www.fda.gov/UDI for more
information about UDI.
    FDA is also leading an effort to develop and implement a national
strategy for the best public health use of health-related electronic
data related to devices that incorporates UDIs, including registries,
and leverages existing processes and systems. Health-related data (from
large data sources such as health insurers and integrated health
systems, and others) contains a wealth of public health information
that could be harnessed to contribute to understanding device safety
and effectiveness. Currently, however, these data generally cannot be
used to identify specific device exposures in patients. This is not the
case for drug exposure, where the regular documentation of NDC numbers
allows for robust analysis of pharmaceutical safety and effectiveness.
Absent such information for devices, a vast amount of potentially
useful data regarding patient safety and outcomes remains untapped.
    The incorporation of UDI into various health-related databases will
greatly facilitate many important public health-related activities
including:
     Reducing medical errors,
     Reporting and assessing device-related adverse events and
product problems,
     Tracking of recalls,
     Assessing patient-centered outcomes and the risk/benefit
profile of medical devices in large segments of the U.S. population,
     Providing an easily accessible source of device
identification information to patients and health care professionals.
    The incorporation of UDI into various health-related databases
would also greatly expand Sentinel Initiative capabilities to conduct
active device surveillance given that Sentinel device data sources are
currently limited to a few registries capturing short-term patient
outcomes. FDA's Sentinel Initiative, on the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/FDAsSentinelInitiative/default.htm, seeks to
establish ``a national electronic system that will transform FDA's
ability to track the safety of drugs, biologics, medical devices--and
ultimately all FDA-regulated products once they reach the market'' and
``aims to develop and implement a proactive system that will complement
existing systems that the Agency has in place to track reports of
adverse events linked to the use of its regulated products.'' (Please
note that this workshop will NOT address FDA's oversight of EHRs.)

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    This public workshop is intended to engage multiple stakeholders to
inform FDA's efforts to promote and facilitate incorporation of UDIs
into healthcare systems, obtain actionable information on the issues
surrounding effective and efficient incorporation of UDIs into health-
related electronic records, and understand best solutions and
practices. To that end, we will focus on the following issues:

A. Documenting Device Use Using UDIs in Electronic Health Records

    1. The current state of documentation of device use in health-
related databases, including EHRs.
    2. The barriers to, and various possible incentives for, the
development, implementation and use of UDI in EHR systems.
    3. The possible roles and activities of various government
stakeholders (including FDA, CMS, ONC, and NLM) necessary to drive the
adoption and use of UDIs in EHRs and other health-related databases.
    4. Any other issues or concerns that would affect the efficient and
effective incorporation of UDIs in EHRs and other health-related data.

B. The Role of UDI in Device Registries

    5. The current state of documentation of device use in registries.
    6. The future vision for device registries using UDI.
    7. How EHRs and other, similar population-based databases can be
used to provide registries or registry-like data.
    8. Any technical issues confronting the effective and efficient
incorporation of UDIs into appropriate data sets.

C. UDI's Role in National and Local Data Standards

    9. The current state of Health IT data standards in EHRs.
    10. The future vision for use of standards in EHRs to improve data
quality and data exchange.
    11. The activities of the Health IT Standards Panel and its
relationship to Meaningful Use.
    12. The relationship of data standards to UDI integration in
hospital systems.

D. Integrating UDI Throughout Hospital Systems

    13. The particular issues associated with networked devices that
need to be considered.
    14. The issues and challenges with device interoperability.
    15. The current and future state of MMIS and RTLS systems to
support safe device use.
    16. How other information systems are adopting and implementing UDI
and how these systems are integrating with other clinical information
systems to transmit the appropriate data.

E. The Role of UDI in Postmarket Surveillance and Compliance

    17. How we can use UDIs in health-related electronic data systems
to improve post-approval studies.
    18. How the documentation of UDIs can be used to improve the
conduct of recalls.
    19. The issues associated with the use of UDI in claims data
sources.
    20. How adverse event reporting can be improved.
    21. Other postmarket surveillance and enforcement activities that
can be improved through the documentation of UDIs in these databases.

F. UDIs in Personal Health Records

    22. The device information currently being transmitted from the EHR
to a patient's PHR.
    23. Any lessons learned that can be applied from documenting
medication use.
    24. How the documentation of UDI in patients' PHRs can be used for
postmarket surveillance, enforcement activities and to improve device
use.
    25. Any differences in documentation and tracking of device use
needed for different care settings (e.g., hospital, outpatient clinic,
and home) and different device types (e.g., implants, home/patient use)
that need to be considered.

III. Transcripts

    Please be advised that as soon as a transcript is available, it
will be accessible at http://www.regulations.gov. It may be viewed at
the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD. A

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-year period if it
finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 7 individuals who have requested renewal of
their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 7 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:

James S. Ayers (GA)
Vernon J. Dohrn (MN)
Brian L. Keszler (CO)
Dennis L. Maxcy (NY)
Cameron S. McMillen (NM)
Rashawn L. Morris (VA)
Dean B. Ponte (MA)

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual has a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10),
and (b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is
otherwise physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each
individual provides a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's
report to the medical examiner at the time of the annual medical
examination; and (3) that each individual provide a copy of the annual
medical certification to the employer for retention in the driver's
qualification file and retains a copy of the certification on his/her
person while driving for presentation to a duly authorized Federal,
State, or local enforcement official. Each exemption will be valid for
two years unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be
rescinded if: (1) The person fails to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower
level of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315.

Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 7 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (66 FR 53826; 66 FR 66966; 68 FR 69434; 70 FR 57353; 70 FR
71884; 70 FR 72689; 71 FR 4632; 71 FR 6825; 73 FR 6246; 74 FR 60022; 75
FR 1450; 75 FR 4623; 76 FR 29022; 76 FR 44082; 77 FR 3554; 77 FR 543).
Each of these 7 applicants has requested renewal of the exemption and
has submitted evidence showing that the vision in the better eye
continues to meet the requirement specified at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and
that the vision impairment is stable. In addition, a review of each
record of safety while driving with the respective vision deficiencies
over the past two years indicates each applicant continues to meet the
vision exemption requirements. These factors provide an

adequate basis for predicting each driver's ability to continue to
drive safely in interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that
extending the exemption for each renewal applicant for a period of two
years is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing
without the exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by February 24, 2014.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 7 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was made on the merits of each
case and made only after careful consideration of the comments received
to its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

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 Helicopters Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, and AS332L1
helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by review of maintenance
instructions that showed conflicting methods of recording torque cycles
for certain parts. This proposed AD would require recalculating the
torque cycles of certain parts, updating log cards, and replacing those
parts before exceeding their recalculated service life limits (life
limits); removing certain other parts from service; and applying an
operational restriction on certain parts, as specified in a European
Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for
incorporation by reference (IBR). 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 August 15,
2022.

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

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2022-0012, dated January 24, 2022
(EASA AD 2022-0012), to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus
Helicopters (AH), formerly Eurocopter, Eurocopter France, Aerospatiale,
Model AS 332 C, AS 332 C1, AS 332 L, and AS 332 L1 helicopters.
    This proposed AD was prompted by review of maintenance instructions
that showed conflicting methods of recording torque cycles for certain
parts. The FAA is proposing this AD to address under-calculated torque
cycle accumulations and prevent a part from remaining in service beyond
its fatigue

life. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure
of a part and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. See EASA AD
2022-0012 for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2022-0012 requires recalculating the torque cycles of
certain affected parts, updating log cards, and replacing those parts
before exceeding their recalculated service life limits. EASA AD 2022-
0012 also requires removing certain other affected parts from service
and prohibits installing those parts. Lastly, EASA AD 2022-0012 applies
an operational restriction to certain affected parts.
    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
No. AS332-01.00.76, Revision 1, dated March 8, 2022 (ASB AS332-
01.00.76, Rev 1). This service information specifies procedures for
determining the corrected accumulated torque cycles and updating the
log cards for certain parts, new life limits expressed in torque
cycles, and new procedures for counting torque cycles.
    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

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other helicopters of these same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2022-0012, described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this proposed AD and except as discussed under
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the EASA AD.''

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2022-0012 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2022-0012 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 EASA AD 2022-0012 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 EASA AD 2022-
0012. Service information referenced in EASA AD 2022-0012 for
compliance will be available at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2022-0804 after the FAA final
rule is published.

ADs Mandating Airworthiness Limitations

    The FAA has previously mandated airworthiness limitations by
mandating each airworthiness limitation task (e.g., inspections and
replacements (life limits)) as an AD requirement or issuing ADs that
require revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the
existing maintenance manual or instructions for continued airworthiness
to incorporate new or revised inspections and life limits. This
proposed AD, however, would require operators to incorporate into
maintenance records required by 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2) or 135.439(a)(2),
as applicable for your helicopter, the requirements (airworthiness
limitations) specified in service information required by a CAA AD. The
FAA does not intend this as a substantive change. For these ADs, the
ALS requirements for operators are the same but are complied with
differently. Requiring the incorporation of the new ALS requirements
into the maintenance records, rather than requiring individual ALS
tasks (e.g., repetitive inspections and replacements), requires
operators to record AD compliance once after updating the maintenance
records, rather than after every time the ALS task is completed.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2022-0012 allows using Airbus Helicopters ASB No. AS332-
01.00.76, Revision 0, dated December 16, 2021, for corrective actions;
whereas this proposed AD would not and would instead require using ASB
AS332-01.00.76, Rev 1. EASA AD 2022-0012 requires replacing each
affected part before exceeding its re-calculated life limit; whereas
this proposed AD would require, within 30 days after the effective date
of the AD, incorporating the re-calculated life limits into maintenance
records required by 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2) or 135.439(a)(2), as applicable
for your helicopter.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 7 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85
per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD.
    Recalculating the torque cycles and updating maintenance records
would take about 4 work-hours for an estimated cost of about $340 per
helicopter and $2,380 for the U.S. fleet. Incorporating actions and
associated thresholds and intervals, including life limits and
maintenance tasks, into maintenance records, would require about 2
work-hours for a cost of $170 per helicopter and a cost of $1,190 for
the U.S. fleet. Replacing a main rotor shaft would take about 40 work-
hours and parts would cost about $175,684 for an estimated cost of
$179,084. Replacing a main gearbox flexible mounting plate support
would take about 80 work-hours and parts would cost about $57,457 for
an estimated cost of $64,257.

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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would 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.

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:

Airbus Helicopters: Docket No. FAA-2022-0804; Project Identifier
MCAI-2022-00081-R.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by August 15, 2022.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C, AS332C1,
AS332L, and AS332L1 helicopters, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft Service Component (JASC) Code: 1400,
Miscellaneous Hardware.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by review of maintenance instructions that
showed conflicting methods of recording torque cycles for certain
parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address under-calculated torque
cycle accumulations and prevent a part from remaining in service
beyond its fatigue life. The unsafe condition, if not addressed,
could result in failure of a part and subsequent loss of control of
the helicopter.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD: Comply
with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD
2022-0012, dated January 24, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0012).

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2022-0012

    (1) Where EASA AD 2022-0012 defines ``the ASB'' as ``AH Alert
Service Bulletin (ASB) AS332-01.00.76,'' for this AD replace that
definition with ``Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No.
AS332-01.00.76, Revision 1, dated March 8, 2022.''
    (2) Where EASA AD 2022-0012 references flight hours (FH) and the
service information referenced in EASA AD 2022-0012 specifies life
limit thresholds in terms of FH, this AD requires using total hours
time-in-service.
    (3) Where EASA AD 2022-0012 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    (4) This AD does not mandate paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2022-0012;
instead, for this AD, within 30 days after the effective date of
this AD, incorporate into maintenance records required by 14 CFR
91.417(a)(2) or 135.439(a)(2), as applicable for your helicopter,
the actions and associated thresholds and intervals, including life
limits and maintenance tasks, specified in the Appendix, section 4.,
of Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No. AS332-01.00.76,
Revision 1, dated March 8, 2022. After the action required by this
paragraph has been done, no alternative actions and associated
thresholds and intervals, including life limits, may be used unless
the actions or intervals are approved as an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (k)(1) of this AD.
    (5) This AD does not mandate compliance with the ``Remarks''
section of EASA AD 2022-0012.

(i) No Reporting Requirement

    Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2022-0012
specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD
does not include that requirement.

(j) Special Flight Permit

    Special flight permits are prohibited.

(k) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, International Validation Branch, 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 International Validation Branch, send
it to the attention of the person identified in paragraph (l)(2) of
this AD. Information may be emailed to: [email protected].
    (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.
