________________________________________________________________________
__________

ConditionsRemarks:   The U.S.-Mexico exemption authority granted is
subject to the dormancy notice requirements set forth in condition 7 of
Appendix A of Order 88-10-2, and is limited to operations conducted on a
code-share basis only.  We have granted the carrier’s request to
consolidate the exemption authorities granted here into a single docket,
Docket OST-2001-11152, with a common expiration date.  Thus, the carrier
may file in Docket OST-2001-11152 at such time as it seeks to make
requests concerning the exemption authority at issue in this Notice.

The route integration authority granted to Delta is subject to the
condition that any service provided under this exemption shall be
consistent with all applicable agreements between the United States and
the foreign countries involved.  Furthermore, (a) nothing in the award
of the route integration authority granted should be construed as
conferring upon Delta rights (including fifth-freedom intermediate
and/or beyond rights) to serve markets where U.S. carrier entry is
limited unless Delta notifies the Department of its intent to serve such
a market and unless and until the Department has completed any necessary
carrier selection procedures to determine which carrier(s) should be
authorized to exercise such rights); (b) should there be a request by
any carrier to use the limited-entry route rights that are included in
Delta’s authority by virtue of the route integration exemption granted
here, but that are not then being used by Delta, the holding of such
authority by route integration will not be considered as providing any
preference for Delta in a competitive carrier selection proceeding to
determine which carrier(s) should be entitled to use the authority at
issue.

________________________________________

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the application was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the

referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time

without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

Scoping Meetings

    Commission staff will hold two scoping meetings in the vicinity of
the project at the time and place noted below. The evening meeting is
primarily for receiving input from the public, while the daytime
meeting will focus on resource agency, Indian tribes, and non-
governmental organization concerns. We invite all interested
individuals, organizations, and agencies to attend one or both of the
meetings, and to assist staff in identifying particular study needs, as
well as the scope of environmental issues to be addressed in the
environmental document. The times and locations of these meetings are
as follows:

Meeting Objectives

    At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) Initiate scoping of the
issues; (2) review and discuss existing conditions and resource
management objectives; (3) review and discuss existing information and
identify preliminary information and study needs; (4) review and
discuss the process plan and schedule for pre-filing activity that
incorporates the time frames provided for in Part 5 of the Commission's
regulations and, to the extent possible, maximizes coordination of
federal, state, and tribal permitting and certification processes; and
(5) discuss the appropriateness of any

federal or state agency or Indian tribe acting as a cooperating agency
for development of an environmental document.
    Meeting participants should come prepared to discuss their issues
and/or concerns. Please review the PAD in preparation for the scoping
meetings. Directions on how to obtain a copy of the PAD and SD1 are
included in item n. of this document.

Maneb; Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide
Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Order.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrant and accepted by the Agency, of
products containing the pesticide maneb, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended. This cancellation order follows a January 6, 2010 Federal
Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrant, Drexel
Chemical Company, to voluntarily cancel these product registrations.
These are not the last products containing this pesticide registered
for use in the United States. In the January 6, 2010 notice, EPA
indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations
unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day
comment period that would merit its further review of these requests or
unless the registrant withdrew their requests within this period. The
Agency did not receive any comments on the notice. Further, the
registrant did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby
issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested
cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject
to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the
terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.

DATES: The cancellations are effective February 26, 2010.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the January 6, 2010 Federal Register notice announcing
the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellation of the
products listed in Table 1.

 IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the maneb registrations identified in Table 1.
Accordingly, the Agency orders that the product registrations
identified in Table 1 are hereby canceled. Any distribution, sale, or
use of existing stocks of the products identified in Table 1 in a
manner inconsistent with any of the Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks set forth in Unit VI. will be considered a violation of
FIFRA.

V. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, following the public comment period, the
Administrator may approve such a request.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. EPA anticipates allowing sale, distribution and
use in the cancellation order as described below.
    1. The registrant may continue to sell or distribute existing
stocks of maneb

end-use products until such stocks are exhausted.
    2. Persons other than the registrant may continue to sell or
distribute existing stocks of maneb products identified in Table 1 with
previously approved labeling until such stocks are exhausted.
    3. Persons other than the registrant may use the maneb end use
products identified in Table 1 until exhausted. Any use of existing
stocks must be in a manner consistent with the previously approved
labeling for that product.

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-4196-DR; Docket ID FEMA-2014-0003]

Kentucky; Major Disaster and Related Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major
disaster for the Commonwealth of Kentucky (FEMA-4196-DR), dated
September 30, 2014, and related determinations.

DATES: Effective Date: September 30, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dean Webster, Office of Response and
Recovery, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated September 30, 2014, the President issued a major disaster
declaration under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the
``Stafford Act''), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky resulting from severe storms, flooding,
landslides, and mudslides during the period of August 18-23, 2014,
is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford
Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in
the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby
authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and
administrative expenses.
    You are authorized to provide Public Assistance in the
designated areas and Hazard Mitigation throughout the Commonwealth.
Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance be
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs. Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance also will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs, with the exception of projects that meet the
eligibility criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing percentage
under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for
Debris Removal implemented pursuant to section 428 of the Stafford
Act.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under
Executive Order 12148, as amended, W. Michael Moore, of FEMA is

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-78674; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2016-116]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Amending NYSE Arca
Equities Rule 5.3(i)(3) To Amend the Requirements for the Dissemination
of News in Compliance With the Exchange's Immediate Release Policy

August 25, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby given
that, on August 12, 2016, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``NYSE
Arca'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have

been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5.3(i)(3) to
amend the requirements for the dissemination of news in compliance with
the Exchange's immediate release policy. The proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    NYSE Arca Equities Rules 5.3(i)(2) and (3) require a listed company
to make immediate public disclosure of all material information
concerning its affairs (the ``immediate release policy''). NYSE Arca
Equities Rule 5.3(i)(3) provides that companies should comply with the
immediate release policy by releasing material information
``simultaneously to any of the following organizations'':

    ``(a) the primary business and financial newswire services (Dow
Jones and Reuters);
    (b) the national services (e.g., Associated Press);
    (c) The WALL STREET JOURNAL, NEW YORK TIMES, LOS ANGELES TIMES,
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, and SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER;
    (d) Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Corporation;
and
    (e) a company that distributes press releases over private
teletype networks may find PR Newswire and Business Wire helpful in
gaining news coverage.''

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 5.3(i)(3) to conform it to the
immediate release policies of the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE''),
NYSE MKT and Nasdaq.\4\ Most significantly, the amended rule will
provide that companies can comply with the Exchange's immediate release
policy by disseminating the material information by any Regulation FD
compliant method or combination of methods. Regulation FD was adopted
by the Commission in 2000 in order to curb the selective disclosure of
material non-public information by issuers to analysts and
institutional investors.\5\ Generally, Regulation FD requires that when
an issuer discloses material information, it do so publicly. Public
disclosure under Regulation FD can be accomplished by filing a Form 8-K
with the Commission or through another method of disclosure that is
reasonably designed to provide broad, non-exclusionary distribution of
the information to the public (e.g. press releases, conference calls,
press conferences and webcasts, so long as the public is provided
adequate notice and granted access).\6\ The Exchange now proposes to
amend Rule 5.3(i)(3) to provide that companies may comply with the
immediate release policy by disseminating the information using any
method (or combination of methods) that constitutes compliance with
Regulation FD.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-59823 (April 27,
2009); 74 FR 20516 (May 4, 2009) (SR-NYSE-2009-40). See also
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 46288 (July 31, 2002), 67 FR
51306 (August 7, 2002) (SR-NASD-2002-85). See also Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 34-75167 (June 12, 2015); 80 FR 34949 (June
18, 2015) (SR-NYSEMKT-2015-40).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 43154 (August 15,
2000), 65 FR 51716 (August 24, 2000) (``Regulation FD Adopting
Release'').
    \6\ See Regulation FD Adopting Release at pages 51723-51724.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Foreign private issuers and issuers registered under the Investment
Company Act other than closed end funds are subject to the immediate
release policy but they are not required to comply with Regulation
FD.\7\ Notwithstanding their exemption from Regulation FD, Rule
5.3(i)(3) as amended will allow foreign private issuers and Investment
Company Act registrants other than closed end funds to comply with the
Exchange's immediate release policy by any method (or combination of
methods) that would constitute compliance with Regulation FD for a
domestic U.S. issuer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See the definition of an ``issuer'' subject to Regulation FD
as set forth in Section 101(b) thereof: An ``issuer'' subject to
this regulation is one that has a class of securities registered
under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C.
78l), or is required to file reports under Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78o(d)), including any
closed-end investment company (as defined in Section 5(a)(2) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940) (15 U.S.C. 80a-5(a)(2)), but not
including any other investment company or any foreign government or
foreign private issuer, as those terms are defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While the Exchange continues to believe that there are benefits to
the market and investors generally if companies issue press releases
when disclosing material information, the Exchange nonetheless believes
that it is appropriate to harmonize its requirements in this regard
with Regulation FD, as well as with Section 202.06 of the NYSE Listed
Company Manual, NYSE MKT Company Guide Section 402 and Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 5250(b)(1), thereby eliminating the confusion inherent
in having different regimes applied by different listing exchanges and
the Commission. The Exchange believes that many companies will continue
to issue press releases in relation to material news events, and the
proposed amendment includes language that encourages companies to
disclose material news via a press release. However, the Exchange also
believes that it is appropriate to enable companies to utilize the
[sic] flexibility and discretion with respect to the method of
disclosure provided by Regulation FD.
    The Exchange also proposes to delete from the rule the existing
list of methods for disseminating material news and to instead specify
in the revised rule that any company disseminating material news by
means of a press release should release it to the major news wire
services, including, at a minimum, Dow Jones & Company, Inc., Reuters
Economic Services and Bloomberg Business News. This revised provision
is the same as the press release requirements of the NYSE and, in the
Exchange's opinion, it represents a more effective approach to news
dissemination than may be the case under some of the approaches
permitted under the current rule.
    The Exchange proposes to include language in the revised rule
specifying that listed companies choosing to comply with the immediate
release policy by disseminating information via their Web site or
social media must comply with the Commission's guidelines applicable to
the use of companies' Web sites or social media for purposes of
compliance with Regulation FD.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58288 (August 1,
2008); 73 FR 45862 (August 7, 2008) (Commission Guidance on the Use
of Company Web sites). See also Securities Exchange Act Release No.
69279 (April 2, 2013) (Report of Investigation Pursuant to Section
21(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934: Netflix, Inc., and
Reed Hastings) (available at https://www.sec.gov/litigation/investreport/34-69279.pdf). The Exchange will remind listed
companies of the Commission's guidelines with respect to the use of
Web sites and social media to disseminate material information.

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

    The Exchange also proposes to replace references to the
``Securities Qualification Department'' and the ``Surveillance
Department'' throughout Rule 5.3 and in Rule 5.5(m) with references to
NYSE Regulation, as there are no longer groups within the Exchange with
those titles and the relevant work is performed in each case by the
staff of NYSE Regulation.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\9\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Sections 6(b)(5) \10\ of the Act, in particular, in that
it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, 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.
The Exchange believes the proposed amendment is consistent with the
investor protection objectives of the Act in that it harmonizes the
Exchange's immediate release policy with the Commission's requirements
in Regulation FD. The Exchange believes that the remaining proposed
amendments are consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, as none of
them make substantive changes to the Exchange's listing requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed amendment
simply harmonizes the Exchange's immediate release policy with the
Commission's requirements in Regulation FD. The proposed amendment also
harmonizes the method of compliance with the Exchange's immediate
release policy with the methods of compliance for the NYSE, NYSE MKT
and Nasdaq immediate release policies and makes other non-substantive
changes to the Company Guide. Accordingly, there will be no burden on
competition because the other markets already have similar rules.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \13\ of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\14\

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, the Commission notes
that Rule 19b-4(f)(6) requires the Exchange to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate. The Exchange has
satisfied that requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \15\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.

14 CFR Part 21

Alaskan Fuel Hauling as a Restricted Category Special Purpose
Flight Operation

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of policy.

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

SUMMARY: This notice of policy announces Alaskan fuel hauling as a
restricted category special purpose

operation under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
21.25(b)(7), for aircraft type-certificated under 14 CFR 21.25(a)(1),
for operations within the State of Alaska, to provide bulk fuel to
isolated individuals or locations in the State of Alaska.

DATES: This policy is August 2, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Federal Aviation Administration,
Aircraft Certification Service, Aircraft Engineering Division,
Certification Procedures Office (AIR-110), Mike Monroney Aeronautical
Center, P.O. Box 26460, Oklahoma City, OK 73125. Attn: Jon Mowery.
Telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>, email to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 6, 2009, a notice of proposed
policy was published in the Federal Register (74 FR 39242) in which the
FAA proposed to specify Alaskan fuel hauling as a restricted category
special purpose operation under 14 CFR 21.25(b)(7). The comment period
closed September 8, 2009. This notice of policy addresses only one of
the three special purpose operations proposed in 2009. The other two
proposals are still under consideration and are not addressed at this
time in this notice.
    The FAA received comments from six commenters, in three major
areas. One of the comments submitted was, ``The transport of the fuel
could be made safer by limiting the payload on each flight to say 35%
of the aircraft weight so there won't be problems with takeoff and
landing''. Another commenter proposed that Alaska fuel hauling be
limited to aircraft having a maximum certificated takeoff weight
(``MTOW'') of 20,000 lb or less. The FAA does not agree with setting an
arbitrary maximum weight limit for this special purpose, nor does the
FAA see a need to operate below the certificated capabilities of the
aircraft. To provide for safe operations, each aircraft used to
transport fuel will be required to receive FAA certification for the
purpose of fuel hauling. During certification the airplane payload and
performance limits will be specified as part of the certification
process. All aircraft must be operated within their certificated weight
and balance limitations, and airfield performance limitations. No
overweight operations will be permitted.
    One commenter suggested that the special purpose of fuel hauling be
expanded to include operations outside the State of Alaska, while
another commenter requested that the proposal be strictly limited to
operations conducted solely within the state. The FAA will limit this
proposed special purpose to operations in the State of Alaska only.
Alaska has a unique dependence on aviation for delivery of essential
supplies to remote villages that are not serviced by roads or rail.
Most of these villages are served by airports with runways less than
3,000 feet long. The remoteness and limited transportation
infrastructure means that air transportation of fuel is the only method
to deliver fuel to these areas during many times of the year.
    One commenter requested that the FAA confirm that restricted
category aircraft certificated for the special purpose of Alaskan fuel
hauling would be permitted to conduct these operations in view of the
provisions of Sec.  91.313, which provides the operating limitations
for aircraft certificated in restricted category. Section 91.313(a)
states that no person may operate a restricted category civil aircraft
for any purpose other than the special purpose for which it is
certificated. Section 91.313(c) states that a restricted category
aircraft cannot be used to carry persons or property for compensation
or hire. However, this paragraph goes on to say that for the purposes
of Sec.  91.313(c) the definition of ``for compensation or hire''
changes if the special purpose requires the carriage of material
necessary for that special purpose. Then carriage of that material is
not considered carriage ``for compensation or hire'', but only in
regards to the limitations in Sec.  91.313(c). For example, an airplane
with a restricted category airworthiness certificate for the special
purpose of Alaska fuel hauling may carry fuel for commercial gain.
However, the operation must comply with 14 CFR part 119, which
addresses commercial operations. Since Alaskan fuel hauling does not
meet any of the exclusions in 14 CFR part 119, the operation would need
to meet the requirements of 14 CFR part 135 or part 121. Operational
approval for Alaskan fuel hauling must be obtained from FAA Flight
Standards Service in accordance with the operating regulations.
    The special purpose of Alaskan fuel hauling was considered for
aircraft type-certificated under Sec.  21.25(a)(1). This limitation
will result in a higher level of safety than surplus military aircraft
type-certificated under Sec.  21.25(a)(2). Compliance with 14 CFR part
36 noise requirements is required for this special purpose. The fuel
hauling system must be shown to meet the applicable airworthiness
regulations as required by Sec. Sec.  21.25(a)(1), and 21.101 if
appropriate. Upon approval of the fuel hauling configuration of an
aircraft for Alaskan fuel hauling, the operator must obtain an
airworthiness certificate for the new special purpose.
    Accordingly, the Aircraft Engineering Division hereby specifies,
under authority delegated by the Administrator, that Alaskan fuel
hauling is a restricted category special purpose flight operation under
the provisions of Sec.  21.25(b)(7). This approval is limited to
aircraft type-certificated under Sec.  21.25(a)(1). This action will
enable bulk fuel to be carried to isolated individuals and locations
(such as villages, towns, and mining facilities) in the State of
Alaska, during times when other methods are impractical.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 29, 2012.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus SAS Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes. This AD was
prompted by a widespread fatigue damage (WFD) evaluation on Airbus SAS
Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes, which found that the
circumferential joint at Frame 58 (near the rear fuselage) is
susceptible to WFD. This AD requires a modification to reinforce the
circumferential joints at Frame 58 and, if necessary, corrective
action, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 16, 2024.

    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 16,
2024.

ADDRESSES:
    AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1723; or in person at Docket Operations between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD
docket contains this final rule, the mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI), any comments received, and other information. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model
A330-223F and -243F airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on August 31, 2023 (88 FR 60157). The NPRM was prompted by AD
2023-0053, dated March 14, 2023, issued by EASA, which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union (EASA AD 2023-0053)
(also referred to as the MCAI). The MCAI states that within the scope
of WFD evaluations on Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes, it was
determined that the circumferential joint at Frame 58 (near the rear
fuselage) is susceptible to WFD. WFD, if not corrected, may lead to
crack initiation and undetected propagation, which could affect the
structural integrity of the airplane.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require a modification to
reinforce the circumferential joints at Frame 58 and, if necessary,
corrective action, as specified in EASA AD 2023-0053. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1723.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Additional Change to This AD

    The FAA revised paragraph (h)(3) of this AD to clarify that if any
discrepancy other than cracking is found, operators must obtain
instructions and accomplish those instructions accordingly. If cracking
is found, operators must obtain instructions and repair the cracking
before further flight. In the NPRM, the FAA inadvertently specified
only cracking as a discrepancy; however, incorrect hole diameters are
also a possible discrepancy.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined
that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on this product.
Except for minor editorial changes, and any other changes described
previously, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the
changes will increase the economic burden on any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2023-0053 specifies procedures for a modification
(including rotating probe inspections for discrepancies and measurement
of the maximum hole diameter at any point in the fastener hole bores on
the circumferential joints) to reinforce the circumferential joints at
Frame 58 and, if any discrepancies (cracking or measurements that are
outside the acceptable hole diameters) are found, corrective action
(contacting the manufacturer for instructions and accomplishing those
instructions). 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.

Explanation of Compliance Time

    The compliance time for the replacement specified in this AD for
addressing WFD was established to ensure that certain structure is
replaced before WFD develops in airplanes. Standard inspection
techniques cannot be relied on to detect WFD before it becomes a hazard
to flight. The FAA will not grant any extensions of the compliance time
to complete any AD-mandated service bulletin related to WFD without
extensive new data that would substantiate and clearly warrant such an
extension.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD will affect 6 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
368 work-hours x $85 per hour = $31,280......................          $7,700          $38,980         $233,880
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more

detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    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

    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) 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

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

The Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

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

2023-23-03 Airbus SAS: Amendment 39-22605; Docket No. FAA-2023-1723;
Project Identifier CAI-2023-00457-T.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective January 16, 2024.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model A330-223F and -243F
airplanes, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53, Fuselage.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a widespread fatigue damage (WFD)
evaluation on Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes, which found
that the circumferential joint at Frame 58 (near the rear fuselage)
is susceptible to WFD. The FAA is issuing this AD to address WFD in
the affected area. The unsafe condition, if not corrected, may lead
to crack initiation and undetected propagation, which could affect
the structural integrity of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD
2023-0053, dated March 14, 2023 (EASA AD 2023-0053).

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2023-0053

    (1) Where EASA AD 2023-0053 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    (2) This AD does not adopt the ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD
2023-0053.
    (3) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2023-0053 specifies ``if,
during the accomplishment of any inspection, which is part of the
modification as required by paragraph (1) of this AD, any
discrepancy, as identified in the SB, is detected, before next
flight, contact Airbus for approved instructions and accomplish
those instructions accordingly,'' this AD requires replacing those
words with ``if, during the accomplishment of any inspection, which
is part of the modification as required by paragraph (1) of this AD,
any discrepancy other than cracking is detected, before next flight,
contact the Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA; or EASA;
or Airbus SAS's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA) for approved
instructions and accomplish those instructions accordingly; and if
any cracking is detected, the cracking must be repaired before
further flight using a method approved by the Manager, International
Validation Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus SAS's EASA DOA. If
approved by the DOA, the approval must include the DOA-authorized
signature.''

(i) Additional AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): 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 responsible Flight Standards Office, as
appropriate. If sending information directly to the International
Validation Branch, send it to the attention of the person identified
in paragraph (j) of this AD. Information may be emailed to: [email protected]. Before using any approved AMOC, notify your
appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector,
the manager of the responsible Flight Standards Office.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International
Validation Branch, FAA; or 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): Except as required by
paragraph (i)(2) of this AD, 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.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0575; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-086-AD;
Amendment 39-18181; AD 2015-12-07]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The
Boeing Company Model 747-8F and 747-8 series airplanes. This AD was
prompted by reports of delamination damage to leading edge (LE)
variable camber krueger (VCK) flaps. This AD requires repetitive
inspections to detect delamination damage of the lightning strike
applique (LSA) on certain LE VCK flaps, and corrective actions if
necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct delamination
damage to certain LE VCK flaps, which can reduce the lightning strike
protection capability on certain LE VCK flaps and result in an
uncommanded motion of the trailing edge flap system; such uncommanded
flap motion, without shutdown of the trailing edge or leading edge
flaps, could cause unexpected changes in lift, potentially resulting in
asymmetric lift and loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective July 21, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 21,
2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all The Boeing Company
Model 747-8F and 747-8 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on August 26, 2014 (79 FR 50875). The NPRM was
prompted by reports of delamination damage to LE VCK flaps. The NPRM
proposed to require repetitive inspections to detect delamination
damage of the LSA on the LE VCK flaps at positions 6 through 9 (left
wing) and 18 through 21 (right wing), and corrective actions if
necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct delamination
damage to certain LE VCK flaps, which can reduce the lightning strike
protection capability on the LE VCK flaps and result in an uncommanded
motion of the trailing edge flap system. Such uncommanded flap motion,
without shutdown of the trailing edge or leading edge flaps, could
cause unexpected changes in lift, potentially resulting in asymmetric
lift and loss of control of the airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM (79
FR 50875, August 26, 2014) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Revise Component Description

    Boeing requested that we revise the NPRM (79 FR 50875, August 26,
2014) to describe the affected LE flaps with lightning strike applique
installed as the LE VCK flaps at positions 6 through 9 (left wing) and
18 through 21 (right wing). Boeing pointed out that only the affected
flaps should be specified, instead of all LE VCK flaps.
    We agree with the commenter's request. Not all LE VCK flaps are
affected by the identified unsafe condition. We have revised the
SUMMARY section of this final rule and paragraph (e) of this AD to
specify ``certain'' LE VCK flaps. We have also revised the DISCUSSION
section of this final rule and paragraph (g) of this AD to specify LE
VCK flaps at position 6 through 9 (left wing) and 18 through 21 (right
wing).

Request To Correct Typographical Errors

    Boeing requested that we revise the service bulletin title in the
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service Information''
section and paragraphs (g) and (h) of the NPRM (79 FR 50875, August 26,
2014) from Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-57-2338, dated January 14,
2014; to Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 747-57-2338, dated
January 14, 2014.
    Boeing also requested that we revise ``Original issue'' in
paragraph (h) of the NPRM (79 FR 50875, August 26, 2014) to ``Original
Issue.''
    We agree with the commenter's request to correct the identified
typographical errors. We have revised paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD
accordingly. However, because the ``Differences Between this Proposed
AD and the Service Information'' section is not repeated in the final
rule, no change is necessary in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (79 FR 50875, August 26, 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 50875, August 26, 2014).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 747-57-2338,
dated January 14, 2014. The service information describes procedures
for inspections to detect delamination damage of the LSA on the LE VCK
flaps and corrective actions. This service information is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 6 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.
              Action                    Labor cost        Parts cost     Cost per  product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection.......................  8 work-hours x $85               $0  $680 per inspection  $4,080 per
                                    per hour = $680                      cycle.               inspection cycle
                                    per inspection
                                    cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII:

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

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

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

2015-12-07 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-18181; Docket No. FAA-
2014-0575; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-086-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective July 21, 2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 747-8F and 747-8
series airplanes, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57, Wings.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of delamination damage to
leading edge (LE) variable camber krueger (VCK) flaps. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct delamination damage to certain
LE VCK flaps, which can reduce the lightning strike protection
capability on certain LE VCK flaps and result in an uncommanded
motion of the trailing edge flap system. Such uncommanded flap
motion, without shutdown of the trailing edge or leading edge flaps,
may cause unexpected changes in lift, potentially resulting in
asymmetric lift and loss of control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Inspections and Corrective Actions

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD, at the
applicable time specified in paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 747-57-2338, dated January
14, 2014: Do a general visual inspection to detect delamination
damage of the lightning strike applique (LSA) on the LE VCK flaps at
positions 6 through 9 (left wing) and 18 through 21 (right wing);
and do all applicable corrective actions before further flight; in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 747-57-2338, dated January 14, 2014.
Repeat the inspection of the LSA on the LE VCK flaps at positions 6
through 9 (left wing) and 18 through 21 (right wing) thereafter at
the applicable intervals specified in paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 747-57-
2338, dated January 14, 2014.

(h) Exception to Service Information

    Where Paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 747-57-2338, dated January 14, 2014,
specifies a compliance time ``after the Original Issue date of this
service bulletin,'' this AD requires compliance within the specified
compliance time after the effective date of this AD.
