Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 202a, Head Restraints; Mandatory
Applicability Begins on September 1, 2009. GM has filed an appropriate
report dated February 15, 2013, pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573, Defect and
Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports.

ADDRESSES: For further information on this decision contact Mr. Ed
Chan, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. GM's Petition

    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and the rule
implementing those provisions at 49 CFR Part 556, GM has petitioned for
an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety.
    Notice of receipt of the petition was published, with a 30-day
public comment period, on October 28, 2013 in the Federal Register (78
FR 64289). No comments were received. To view the petition and all
supporting documents log onto the Federal Docket Management System
(FDMS) Web site at: http://www.regulations.gov/. Then follow the online
search instructions to locate docket number ``NHTSA-2013-0040.''

II. Vehicles Involved

    Affected are approximately 32,838 MY 2013 Chevrolet Cruze,
Chevrolet Volt, and Buick Verano passenger cars manufactured between
November 15, 2012 and January 11, 2013.

III. Summary of GM's Analyses

    GM explains that the noncompliance is that between 8 and 12 percent
of the affected vehicles have rear outboard head restraints that do not
meet the height retention requirements specified in paragraph S4.2.6 of
FMVSS No. 202a.
    GM further explained that the noncompliance is the result of a
notch in one of the two head restraint rods not being machined to
specifications. This notch corresponds to the rear head restraint's
highest adjustment position. This condition does not affect the ability
to lock the head restraint in the middle or lowest positions. Nor does
it make the head restraint capable of being more easily removed.
    GM stated its belief that the subject noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons:

    The root cause of the condition was determined to be a change made
by a machine operator which reduced the clamping force in the operation
that cuts the notches in the head restraint rod, slightly altering the
shape of the notch. Restraints with the altered notch have a lower
retention force than design intent.
    The retention force for the head restraints with the improperly
machined notch was measured as approximately 150 N.
    GM recognizes that one of NHTSA's concerns was improper positioning
of head restraints due to the head restraint moving out of position
either during normal vehicle use or in a crash, as stated in the FMVSS
No. 202a NPRM (January 4, 2001, 66 FR 979).
    For everyday use, with the adjustment button depressed, these head
restraints are designed to move down with a force of 4020N.
The measured retention force for the improperly machined notch is
nearly 4 times the nominal adjustment force and 2.5 times the maximum.
Without the button depressed, these head restraints will not ``slip''
or easily move down from the top adjustment position. For most, it
would take a deliberate two-handed action to cause the restraint to
move from the top to the mid position without activating the release
button. The tactile feedback from such forced movement would be clear
indication that it is not the correct method for adjusting the
restraint. The opportunity for inadvertent misadjustment of the
restraint is also diminished due to the fact that these are rear seat
head restraints with no seating positions behind them. They are not at
risk for misadjustment as a result of someone bumping or grabbing the
restraint for assistance during vehicle ingress and egress.
    FMVSS No. 202a provides two compliance options for head restraints.
They are Paragraph S4.2 (Dimensional and Static Performance) or
paragraph S4.3 (Dynamic Performance and Width). As with most of its
vehicles, GM chose to certify the rear seat head restraints for the
2013 Cruze, Verano and Volt, to S4.2 (the ``static option'') and the
front head restraints to S4.3 (the ``dynamic option'').
    In order to evaluate the efficacy of the rear head restraints with
the improperly machined notches, GM conducted a series of 6 sled tests
at MGA Research. Two tests each were run for the Cruze, Volt and
Verano. For each vehicle, one test was run according to the procedure
specified by FMVSS No. 202a paragraph S4.3 which places the head
restraint in the mid-position, and a second test was run in the same
manner as the first test, but with the head restraint placed in the top
position. The top position is that used in the height retention test of
the static option, and that position is the one with the improperly
machined notch. Improperly machined head restraints and corresponding
rod guides were used for each test.
    Significantly, in the three sled tests with the head restraint in
the uppermost position, the head restraint did not move down. For all
tests, the head restraint remained in its pretest height adjustment
throughout the test. Also, in all sled tests (upper and mid position)
the dummy met the injury criteria specified in the requirements for the
dynamic option (<12 degree of neck rotation, <500 HIC) and head
restraint width >170 mm.

GM's Arguments

    GM believes that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety because for the following reasons occupant
protection is not compromised:
    1. The noncompliant test vehicles meet the requirements specified
under the dynamic compliance option 1 in all six sled tests. Therefore,
GM believes that the improperly machined head restraint rod notches do
not expose occupants to a significantly greater risk than those with
properly machined notches.
    2. The head restraints remained in their adjusted positions
throughout the tests.
    3. The occupant performance criteria specified for the dynamic
compliance option was met in both the mid and upper head restraint
adjustment positions.
    4. These head restraints will maintain their adjusted positions
during everyday use of the vehicle.
    5. Paragraph S4.2.6 of FMVSS No. 202a allows 13 mm of permanent
displacement of the head restraint. By design, the distance between the
top and mid adjustment positions of the subject head restraints is 19
mm. Thus, the potential head restraint displacement due to the
improperly machined notch is limited to 19 mm.
    6. The owner's manual instructions continue to meet all the
requirements of FMVSS No. 202a. Even though the head restraint could be
forced down to the mid-position, it still requires substantially more
effort than it does when the adjustment button at the base of the head
restraint is depressed. The owner's manual instructions continue to be
the recommended manner of adjustment.
    7. GM is not aware of any injuries or customer complaints
associated with this condition.
    GM has additionally informed NHTSA that it has corrected the
noncompliance so that all future production vehicles will comply with
FMVSS No. 202a.
    In summation, GM believes that the described noncompliance of the
subject vehicles is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that
its petition, to exempt from providing recall notification of
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and remedying the recall
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be granted.

IV. NHTSA Decision

    NHTSA has reviewed and accepts GM's analyses that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Specifically,
the stated noncompliance poses little if any risk to motor vehicle
safety because although the vehicles do not meet the static
requirements of paragraph S4.2 of FMVSS No. 202a as certified by GM,
they do meet the optional dynamic requirements of paragraph S4.3 of
FMVSS No. 202a. Consequently, the subject vehicles are no less
compliant than vehicles certified to the dynamic option.
    Also, while GM's basis of certification for the subject vehicles
was the static method, the certification labels on the subject vehicles
do not identify the method of certification. Therefore, no associated
labeling corrections are necessary.
    In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has decided that GM has
met its burden of persuasion that the FMVSS No. 202a noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, GM's petition is
hereby granted and GM is exempted from the obligation of providing
notification of, and a remedy for, that noncompliance under 49 U.S.C.
30118 and 30120.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this decision
only applies to the vehicles that GM no longer controlled at the time
it determined that the noncompliance existed. However, the granting of
this petition does not relieve vehicle distributors and dealers of the
prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, or introduction or delivery
for introduction into interstate commerce of

the noncompliant vehicles under their control after GM notified them
that the subject noncompliance existed.

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: Delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-24-13 for
certain The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300,

-400, -500, -600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes. AD
2013-24-13 required replacing the pivot link assembly for certain
airplanes, replacing the seat track link assemblies or modifying the
existing seat track link assembly for certain airplanes, or modifying
the existing seat track link assembly fastener for certain other
airplanes. AD 2013-24-13 also required inspecting, changing, or
repairing the seat track link assembly for certain other airplanes.
Since we issued AD 2013-24-13, a certain paragraph reference in that AD
was found to be mis-identified; this AD corrects this paragraph
reference. We are issuing this AD to prevent seat detachment in an
emergency landing, which could cause injury to occupants of the
passenger compartment and affect emergency egress.

DATES: This AD is effective March 11, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of January 7,
2014 (78 FR 72558, December 3, 2013).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2013-24-13, Amendment 39-17687 (78 FR 72558,
December 3, 2013). AD 2013-24-13 applied to certain The Boeing Company
Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -700C, -800,
and -900 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on July 2, 2014 (79 FR 37676). The NPRM was prompted by the discovery
that a paragraph reference was mis-identified in AD 2013-24-13. The
NPRM proposed to continue to require replacing the pivot link assembly
for certain airplanes, replacing the seat track link assemblies or
modifying the existing seat track link assembly for certain airplanes,
or modifying the existing seat track link assembly fastener for certain
other airplanes. The NPRM also proposed to continue to require
inspecting, changing, or repairing the seat track link assembly for
certain other airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent seat
detachment in an emergency landing, which could cause injury to
occupants of the passenger compartment and affect emergency egress.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM (79
FR 37676, July 2, 2014) and the FAA's response to each comment.
    Boeing stated that it concurred with the content of the NPRM (79 FR
37676, July 2, 2014).

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that the installation of winglets
per Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) ST00830SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/408E012E008616A7862578880060456C?OpenDocument&Highlight=st00830se) and
STC ST01219SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/
rgstc.nsf/0/ebd1cec7b301293e86257cb30045557a/$FILE/ST01219SE.pdf) does
not affect the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service
instructions.

Request To Withdraw the NPRM (79 FR 37676, July 2, 2014)

    KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) requested that the NPRM (79 FR
37676, July 2, 2014) be withdrawn. KLM stated that superseding AD 2013-
24-13, Amendment 39-17687 (78 FR 72558, December 3, 2013), with another
AD having a different AD number would be an unnecessary burden to
operators of Model 737-600, -700, -800, and -900 series airplanes. KLM
stated that the main reason for superseding AD 2013-24-13 was because
of a typographical error that only affects operators of Model 737-100,
-200, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. KLM suggested that the FAA
issue an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) letter for the
operators of Model 737-100, -200, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes, instead of superseding AD 2013-24-13.
    We do not agree to withdraw the NPRM (79 FR 37676, July 2, 2014).
An AMOC letter to address this situation is not appropriate. Paragraph
(i) of AD 2013-24-13, Amendment 39-17687 (78 FR 72558, December 3,
2013), included a cross-reference to paragraph (g)(3) of that AD, but
should have referred to paragraph (g)(4) of that AD. By changing this
incorrect reference in the NPRM to ``paragraph (g)(4),'' an additional
concurrent action is required for airplanes identified as Group 5 in
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1260, Revision 1,
dated May 23, 2013. Therefore, notice and opportunity for public
comment was necessary. We added a clarifying phrase in paragraph (i) of
this AD explaining that there is a corrected paragraph reference (i.e.,
``(g)(3)'' was changed to ``(g)(4)''), which results in a new
concurrent action for Group 5 airplanes.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (79 FR 37676, July 2, 2014) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 37676, July 2, 2014).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 1,281 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

\1\ We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide a cost estimate for the actions required
  for airplanes in Group 6 identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1260, Revision 1,
  dated May 23, 2013.

    This new AD adds no new costs to affected operators.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this 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.

Revocation of Restricted Area R-2530, Sierra Army Depot, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action removes restricted area R-2530 Sierra Army Depot,
CA. This restricted area was originally established in 1963 for the
purpose of neutralization of ammunition through a process known as
burning. The United States Army has advised there are no future plans
for this restricted area and has concurred with the FAA's plan for
removal. Therefore, the FAA has determined that a valid requirement for
the airspace no longer exists.

DATES: Effective date: July 27, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth Ready, Airspace Policy Group,
Office of Airspace Services, Federal Aviation Administration, 800
Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-
8783.

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
the 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 returns restricted area R-2530 Sierra Army Depot, CA,
as it is no longer needed for its designated purpose within the
National Airspace System (NAS).

The Rule

    This action amends 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 73 by
removing Restricted area R-2530 Sierra Army Depot, CA. The United
States Army no longer has a use for the restricted area, which was
originally established for neutralization of ammunition through a
process known as burning. The process was considered a hazard to
aircraft since an uncontrolled explosion may have occurred at any time
during the burning operation. The FAA has determined that a valid
requirement for the airspace no longer exists and the restricted area
is being returned to the NAS.
    Since this action reduces restricted airspace, the solicitation of
comments would only delay the return of airspace to public use without
offering any meaningful right or benefit to any segment of the public;
therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
unnecessary.

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.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (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 only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of revoking of R-2530
Sierra Army Depot, CA, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the
National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5.c,
``Actions to return all or part of special use airspace (SUA) to the
National Airspace System (NAS), such as revocation of airspace, a
decrease in dimensions, or a reduction in times of use (e.g., from
continuous to intermittent, or use by a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM)).''
This action returns restricted airspace to the NAS. Therefore, this
airspace action is not expected to result in any significant
environmental impacts. In accordance with FAAO 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2
regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, this action has been reviewed
for factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically
excluded action may have a significant environmental impact requiring
further analysis, and it is determined that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2018-0231, dated October 25, 2018 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus SAS Model A318, A319,
A320, and A321 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The Airworthiness Limitations for the Airbus A320 family
aeroplanes, which are approved by EASA, are currently defined and
published in the A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS document(s). The Fuel
Airworthiness Limitations (FAL) are published in ALS Part 5.
    Failure to accomplish these instructions could result in an
unsafe condition.
    Previously, EASA issued AD 2017-0169 [which correlates to FAA AD
2018-17-21, Amendment 39-19375 (83 FR 44209, August 30, 2018) (``AD
2018-17-21'')] to require accomplishment of all maintenance tasks
and replacement of life limited parts as described in ALS Part 5 at
Revision 04.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, Airbus published the ALS,
including new and/or more restrictive requirements, and new A320
family models were certified and added to the Applicability.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2017-0169, which is superseded, expands the
Applicability and requires accomplishment of the actions specified
in the ALS.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-
0116.

Relationship Between Proposed AD and AD 2018-17-21

    This NPRM does not propose to supersede AD 2018-17-21. Rather, we
have determined that a stand-alone AD is more appropriate to address
the changes in the MCAI. This proposed AD would require revising the
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate new or more restrictive fuel airworthiness limitations.
Accomplishment of the proposed actions would then terminate all of the
requirements of AD 2018-17-21.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus SAS has issued A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations
Section (ALS) Part 5 Fuel Airworthiness Limitations (FAL), Revision 05,
dated June 13, 2018. This service information describes fuel
airworthiness limitations. 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

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. 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 on other
products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or

inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive fuel airworthiness limitations.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(j)(1) of this proposed AD.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information

    The MCAI requires the repetitive replacement of certain components,
and, for findings from the airworthiness limitations section (ALS)
inspection tasks, the MCAI requires corrective actions in accordance
with Airbus maintenance documentation. However, this proposed AD does
not include those requirements. Operators of U.S.-registered airplanes
are required by general airworthiness and operational regulations to
perform maintenance using methods that are acceptable to the FAA. We
consider those methods to be adequate to address those actions.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,458 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD.
    We have determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although we recognize that this number may vary from operator to
operator. In the past, we have estimated that this action takes 1 work-
hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or
inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), we have
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-
airplane estimate. Therefore, we estimate the total cost per operator
to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the
Director of the System Oversight Division.

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.

251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, -271N, -271NX, -272N,
and -272NX airplanes.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 05, Time Limits/
Maintenance Checks.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. We are issuing
this AD to address the potential of ignition sources inside fuel
tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could
result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision

    Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate the information specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 5 Fuel Airworthiness
Limitations (FAL), Revision 05, dated June 13, 2018. The initial
compliance time for doing the tasks is at the time specified in
Airbus A318/A319/A320/

A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 5 Fuel
Airworthiness Limitations (FAL), Revision 05, dated June 13, 2018,
or within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever
occurs later.

(h) No Alternative Actions, Intervals, or Critical Design Configuration
Control Limitations (CDCCLs)

    After the maintenance or inspection program has been revised as
required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections), intervals, or CDCCLs may be used unless the actions,
intervals, and CDCCLs are approved as an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (j)(1) of this AD.

(i) Terminating Action for AD 2018-17-21

    Accomplishing the actions required by this AD terminates all
requirements of AD 2018-17-21.

(j) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Section, Transport Standards 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 International Section, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (k)(2) of this AD. Information
may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (i) 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.
    (ii) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2018-17-21 are approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of this AD.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer, the action must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International
Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA); or Airbus SAS's EASA Design Organization
Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval must include
the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): If any service information
contains procedures or tests that are identified as RC, those
procedures and tests must be done to comply with this AD; any
procedures or tests that are not identified as RC are recommended.
Those procedures and tests that are not identified 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 procedures and tests identified as
RC can be done and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition. Any substitutions or changes to procedures or tests
identified as RC require approval of an AMOC.

(k) Related Information

    (1) Refer to Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-68998; File No. SR-CBOE-2013-024]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend the CBOE Stock Exchange Fees Schedule

February 27, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on February 21, 2013, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fees Schedule of its CBOE Stock
Exchange (``CBSX''). The text of the proposed rule change is available
on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, and at the Commission.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the CBSX Fees Schedule with regard
to the data reports it provides to Trading Permit Holders (``TPHs'')
and other interested parties at their requests. These persons and
organizations sometimes approach CBSX and request that CBSX prepare and
provide various reports regarding their trading activity. The
production of these reports sometimes requires that employees put in a
significant amount of time and work to write and develop the programs
necessary to be able to run or generate such reports. Currently, the
CBSX Fees Schedule does not speak to such requests (though the Fees
Schedule of CBOE, CBSX's parent exchange, does \3\). The Exchange
proposes to add to the CBSX Fees Schedule a comprehensive, consistent
and standard structure

regarding the provision of CBSX data reports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Exchange Data Reports table.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBSX proposes to establish three different tiers of data report
requests. The first, most basic tier (referred to as ``C Level''
requests) will regard requests for standard reports regularly generated
and run by CBSX and made available on a daily, weekly or monthly basis
that do not require historical data generation, customization beyond a
standard format (PDF, HTML, etc.) or distribution frequency (daily,
weekly, monthly, etc.), or specialized development. There will be no
cost for such requests, regardless of whether they are one-time,
initial, or daily, weekly, or monthly requests.
    The second tier (referred to as ``B Level'' requests) will regard
initial report requests (or enhancements to existing report
subscriptions) that require less than one (1) man-hour to develop and/
or generate. The [sic] will be no cost for such requests. The third
tier (referred to as ``A Level'' requests) will regard initial report
requests (or enhancements to existing subscriptions) that require one
(1) or more man-hours to develop and/or generate. The cost for such
requests will be $100 for first 5 man-hours and $100 per hour for each
additional man-hour. Fees for reports will be estimated in advance and
such estimates will be provided to the requester. If the estimate
changes once creation of the report begins, a revised estimate will be
provided to the requester. For parties requesting to receive B or A
Level reports on a recurring basis, subscriptions to such reports will
be provided at a cost of $100 per month for monthly reports and $200
per month for daily or weekly reports.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act.\4\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ which requires that
Exchange rules provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other
persons using its facilities. CBSX believes that the proposed new fee
structure for data reports is reasonable because it is designed to
reflect CBSX's costs in creating such reports. CBSX believes that the
proposed new fee structure for data reports is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because it will apply to all requesting parties
equally. CBSX believes it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
to assess no fees for C Level reports because these are standard
reports that do not require specific development, customization or
generation. CBSX believes that it is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to assess no fees for initial B Level requests because
these reports do not require very much (less than one man-hour) work on
CBSX's part to create and produce. CBSX believes that it is equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory to assess a fee of $100 for the first
five man-hours of work for A Level requests because these reports take
at least one man-hour of work on CBSX's part to develop and generate
and CBSX must begin to recoup the costs of such work, while still
desiring to be able to provide requesting market participants with a
reasonable amount of information to assist them. CBSX believes that it
is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to assess a fee of $100
per man-hour above five hours for A Level requests because such
requests can take up a significant amount of CBSX resources and at this
point CBSX must begin to be more fully-compensated for dedicating
resources to these tasks. CBSX believes that it is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory to assess subscription fees for requests for
information on a more regular basis (as opposed to re-assessing the
initial fees) because the development for such work has already been
done.

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

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

    CBSX does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. CBSX does not believe that the
proposed fees structure will impose an unnecessary burden on
intramarket competition because it will apply equally to all requesting
parties. CBSX does not believe that the proposed fees structure will
impose an unnecessary burden on intermarket competition because CBSX is
providing reports specific to activity on CBSX, and other exchanges may
provide reports specific to activity on those exchanges, and the costs
for development, generation and production of such reports may be
different on those exchanges. Further, to the extent that the proposed
fees structure for data reports may attract market participants on
other exchanges to CBSX, such market participants can always elect to
become CBSX market participants.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \7\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.
