SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The Act also requires that
OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The Electrical Protective Equipment Standard (29 CFR 1910.137) and
the Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution Standard
(29 CFR 1910.269) specify several paperwork requirements. The following
describes the information collection requirements contained in the
Standards and addresses who will use the information.

Electrical Protective Equipment Standard (Sec.  1910.137)

Testing Certification (Sec.  1910.137(b)(2)(xii))
    Employers must certify that the electrical protective equipment
used by their workers have passed the tests specified in paragraphs
(b)(2)(viii), (b)(2)(ix), and (b)(2)(xi) of the Standard. The
certification must identify the equipment that passed the tests and the
dates of the tests. This provision ensures that electrical protective
equipment is reliable and safe for worker use and will provide adequate
protection against electrical hazards. In addition, certification
enables OSHA to determine if employers are in compliance with the
equipment testing requirements of the Standard.

Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution Standard
(Sec.  1910.269)

Training Certification (Sec.  1910.269(a)(2)(vii))
    This provision requires employers to certify that each worker has
received the training specified in paragraph (a)(2) of the Standard.
Employers must provide certification after a worker demonstrates
proficiency in the work practices involved.
    The training conducted under paragraph (a)(2) of the Standard must
ensure that: workers are familiar with the safety-related work
practices, safety procedures, and other procedures, as well as any
additional safety requirements in the Standard that pertain to their
respective job assignments; workers are familiar with any other safety
practices, including applicable emergency procedures (such as pole top
and manhole rescue), addressed specifically by this Standard that
relate to their work and are necessary for their safety; and qualified
workers have the skills and techniques necessary to distinguish exposed
live parts from other parts of electric equipment, can determine the
nominal voltage of the exposed live parts, know the minimum approach
distances specified by the standard for voltages when exposed to them,
and understand the proper use of special precautionary techniques,
personal protective equipment, insulating and shielding materials, and
insulated tools for working on or near exposed and energized parts of
electric equipment.
    Workers must receive additional training or retraining if: The
supervision and annual inspections required by the Standard indicate
that they are not complying with the required safety-related work
practices; new technology or equipment, or revised procedures, require
the use of safety-related work practices that differ from their usual
safety practices; and they use safety-related work practices that are
different than their usual safety practices while performing job
duties.
    The training requirements of the Standard inform workers of the
safety hazards of electrical exposure and provide them with the
understanding required to minimize these safety hazards. In addition,
workers must receive proper training in safety-related work practices,
safety procedures, and other safety requirements specified in the
Standard. The required training, therefore, provides information to
workers that enable them to recognize how and where electrical
exposures occur, and what steps to take, including work practices, to
limit such exposure. The certification requirement specified by
paragraph (a)(2)(vii) of the Standard helps employers monitor the
training their workers received and helps OSHA determine if employers
provided the required training to their workers.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and

     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the collection
of information requirements contained in the Standards on Electrical
Protective Equipment (29 CFR 1910.137), and Electric Power Generation,
Transmission, and Distribution (29 CFR 1910.269). The Agency is
proposing to increase the burden hours in the currently approved
information collection request from 30,533 hours to 34,208 hours (a
total increase of 3,675 hours). The increase is a result of an increase
in the number of affected workers from 227,683 to 275,000.
    The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to
this notice, and will include this summary in its request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
    Title: Electrical Protective Equipment (29 CFR 1910.137) and
Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution (29 CFR
1910.269).
    OMB Number: 1218-0190.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 20,765.
    Frequency: On occasion; semi-annually; annually.
    Average Time per Response: Varies from one minute (.02 hour) for a
clerical employee to maintain training certification records to 15
minutes (.25 hour) to test a batch of gloves or sleeves.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 34,208.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2010-D-0026]

Assessment of Abuse Potential of Drugs; Guidance for Industry;
Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing
the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ``Assessment of
Abuse Potential of Drugs.'' This guidance is intended to assist
sponsors of investigational new drugs and applicants for approval of a
new drug in evaluating whether their new drug product has abuse
potential. Specifically, this guidance provides recommendations for
assessing the abuse potential of central nervous system (CNS)-active
new drugs. Drug products with abuse potential generally contain drug
substances that are active within the CNS and produce psychoactive
effects such as euphoria and hallucinations. Thus, if a drug substance
is CNS-active, the new drug product containing that drug substance will
likely need to undergo a thorough assessment of its abuse potential and
may be subject to control under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
This guidance finalizes the draft guidance of the same name issued on
January 27, 2010.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on Agency guidances
at any time.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Assessment of Abuse Potential of Drugs.'' Under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, an abuse potential assessment is part of
the general evaluation of the safety and efficacy of a new drug to be
used under medical supervision. Additionally, if a new drug has abuse
potential, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) is required
under the CSA (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) to make a recommendation for
scheduling to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The regulatory
responsibilities for this process are described in Title 21, United
States Code (U.S.C.) 811. FDA, in consultation with the National
Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) conducts the medical and scientific
analysis on behalf of HHS. Specifically, the Controlled Substance Staff
of FDA performs this scientific evaluation of the abuse potential of a
drug for FDA, in consultation with NIDA, as described in a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) of March 8, 1985 (50 FR 9518) (available at;
http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/PartnershipsCollaborations/MemorandaofUnderstandingMOUs/DomesticMOUs/ucm116365.htm). When an
applicant submits a New Drug Application (NDA) for a drug with abuse
potential to FDA for review, the applicant is required to propose a CSA
schedule for the new drug (21 CFR 314.50(d)(5)(vii)). The applicant's
proposal is considered by the Agency during its evaluation of the
drug's abuse potential. FDA prepares a scientific analysis with a
recommendation for scheduling the drug under the CSA, as warranted,
based on consideration of all relevant and available data. This
recommendation is forwarded by the HHS Assistant Secretary for Health
to DEA for their consideration in the decision on final scheduling of
the drug.
    Under new legislation enacted in 2015, the Improving Regulatory
Transparency for New Medical Therapies Act (Pub. L. 114-89), upon
receipt of both: (1) Notification from FDA that a marketing application
has been approved by FDA and (2) the scheduling recommendation of HHS
with respect to the subject drug in the marketing application, DEA
shall within 90 days schedule the drug by rulemaking, thus establishing
the effective date of approval for the drug product. See 21 U.S.C.
355(x); see also Public Law 114-89 (November 25, 2015). Control under
Schedules II, III, IV, or V results in schedule-specific regulatory
requirements relating to the drug's labeling, prescribing, dispensing,
advertising, manufacturing, distribution, importation/exportation,
promotion, marketing, and legitimate use in medical treatment. See
generally 21 U.S.C. 821-831 and 21 CFR 1300-1321. Scheduling of a
substance in the CSA is for the purpose of reducing abuse and
diversion.

    This guidance provides important recommendations to sponsors,
applicants, and potential applicants in the approaches to collecting
data that should comprise the abuse potential assessment submitted in
the marketing application to FDA if one is required pursuant to Sec.
314.50(d)(5)(vii).
    In the Federal Register of January 27, 2010 (75 FR 4400), FDA
issued the draft guidance for industry ``Assessment of Abuse Potential
of Drugs.'' Based on the 2010 draft guidance, and consideration of
comments received from the public, this guidance provides the Agency's
current thinking with respect to the scientific methods recommended to
assess abuse potential. The guidance also adds more detailed discussion
about key questions and decision points to consider during drug
development that will likely determine the appropriate studies for
sponsors and applicants to conduct to address the abuse potential of
their new drug, inform appropriate labeling of the product upon its
approval, and allow a thorough scientific and medical evaluation to
support scheduling decisions in accordance with the CSA. In addition,
this guidance takes into consideration other guidance issued and
legislation enacted since 2010.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on assessment of abuse potential of drugs. It
does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA
or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). The collection of information in part 314, including Sec.
314.50(d)(5)(vii), has been approved under OMB control number 0910-
0001. The collection of information in 21 CFR part 312 for
investigational drugs has been approved under OMB control number 0910-
0014. The collection of information in the guidance ``Formal Meetings
Between the FDA and Sponsors or Applicants of PDUFA Products'' has been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0429. The collection of
information in 21 CFR 201.56 and 201.57, prescription drug labeling,
has been approved under OMB control number 0910-0572. The collection of
information in 21 CFR part 58, Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical
Studies, has been approved under OMB control number 0910-0119.

III. Electronic Access

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-15-03 for
all General Electric Company (GE) GEnx turbofan engine models. AD 2015-
15-03 precluded the use of certain electronic engine control (EEC) full
authority digital engine control (FADEC) software on GEnx turbofan
engines. This AD requires removing a specific part and replacing it
with a part eligible for installation and specifying the EEC FADEC
software version for the affected GEnx turbofan engines. This AD was
prompted by GE implementing final design changes that remove the unsafe
condition. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on
these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2015-15-03, Amendment 39-18212 (80 FR 42707,
July 20, 2015), (``AD 2015-15-03''). AD 2015-15-03 applied to all GE
GEnx turbofan engine models. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on November 3, 2016 (81 FR 76540). The NPRM was prompted by GE
implementing final design changes that remove the unsafe condition. The
NPRM proposed to remove a specific part and replace it with a part
eligible for installation and specify the EEC FADEC software version
for the affected GEnx turbofan engines. We are issuing this AD to
prevent engine failure, loss of thrust control, and damage to the
airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Change Compliance

    The Boeing Company and GE requested that we amend paragraph (f) to
clarify which software versions are prohibited from being installed.
They stated that the listed software versions do not contain the
highest level of ice crystal icing (ICI) accommodation.
    We agree. We revised this AD because the listed software versions
do not contain the highest level of ICI accommodation features. Also,
the change requested makes the prohibition statement consistent with
the AD removal requirements.

Request To Add Terminating Action

    The Boeing Company requested that we add compliance to this AD as a
terminating action to AD 2013-24-01, Amendment 39-17675 (78 FR 70851,
November 27, 2013), (``AD 2013-24-01'') since it removes the unsafe
condition.
    We partially agree. We agree that complying with this AD is
terminating action for certain requirements of AD 2013-24-01.
Therefore, we added a new terminating action paragraph (h) of this AD.
Since complying with this AD is terminating action to certain
requirements of AD 2013-24-01, we disagree that complying with this AD
is terminating action for all requirements of AD 2013-24-01.

Request To Add Terminating Action

    The Boeing Company requests that 747-8 and 747-8F aircraft with
GEnx-2B engines that are operating with software, version C075, be
granted a relaxation of the requirements in paragraphs (g) and (h) of
AD 2013-24-01. They stated that an alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) exists that grants a relaxation of the requirements of
paragraphs (g) and (h) of AD 2013-24-01 as long as the aircraft engines
have the required software versions.
    We disagree. Although Transport Airplane Directorate issued
aircraft level AD 2013-24-01 and granted an AMOC, those are interim
actions. Complying with this AD is required to remove the unsafe
condition and is terminating action to certain requirements of AD 2013-
24-01. We did not change this AD.

Request To Revise a Definition

    GE requested that we revise the definition of an engine shop visit.
They suggested that we add ``Workscopes involving only externals,
including transfer gearbox (TGB) and accessory gearbox (AGB) do not
constitute an engine shop visit for the purpose of this AD.''
    We disagree. The definition of a shop visit as ``the induction of
an engine into the shop for maintenance involving the separation of
pairs of major mating engine case flanges'' is a standard industry
definition. Workscopes involving the TGB/AGB, or externals, do not
separate major mating engine case flanges and do not constitute an
engine shop visit for the purpose of this AD. We did not change this
AD.

Request To Change Compliance Time

    Cathay Pacific Airways Limited requested that we clarify which
parts may be installed into the engine.
    We disagree. The FAA does not intend to specify which parts may be
installed into the engine, only those parts that may not be installed
into the engine. Specifying which parts are eligible for installation
may inadvertently prohibit new parts that are introduced from being
installed into the engine. We did not change this AD.

Agreement With the Proposed AD

    The Air Line Pilots Association expressed agreement with this AD.

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. We determined that the
changes we made as the result of the comments we received:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    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

    We reviewed GE GEnx-2B Service Bulletin (SB) 72-0241 R00, dated
March 16, 2016 that describes removal and installation procedures of
fan hub stator assembly booster outlet guide vane; GE GEnx-2B SB 73-
0041 R00, dated July 2, 2015 that describes reprogramming procedures
for EEC FADEC software, version C075; and GE GEnx-1B SB 73-0044 R00,
dated July 1, 2015 that describes reprograming procedures for EEC FADEC
software, version B185.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 130 engines installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry. We estimate that it would take about 1 hour per
engine to comply with the software installation required by this AD. We
also estimate that 32 engines would require hardware replacement, which
would take about 60 hours per engine. Required parts cost about
$390,000 per engine. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on
these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be
$12,654,250.

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.

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
(EMBRAER) Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    [E]scape slide system installation [was found with] * * * tie-
down straps which are used for escape slide packing [having not been
removed]. The non-removal of the tie-down straps does not allow the
aircraft door to reach the fully open position and the consequent
deployment of the escape slide system in a * * * emergency
evacuation, affecting the occupying safety.

The unsafe condition is failure of an evacuation system, which could
impede an emergency evacuation and increase the chance of injury to
passengers and flightcrew during the evacuation. We are issuing this AD
to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective December 30, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of December 30,
2008.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on August 21, 2008 (73
FR 49362). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    [E]scape slide system installation [was found with] * * * tie-
down straps which are used for escape slide packing [having not been
removed]. The non-removal of the tie-down straps does not allow the
aircraft door to reach the fully open position and the consequent
deployment of the escape slide system in a * * * emergency
evacuation, affecting the occupying safety.

The unsafe condition is failure of an evacuation system, which could
impede an emergency evacuation and increase the chance of injury to
passengers and flightcrew during the evacuation. The corrective action
involves inspection of the forward and rearward doors' emergency
evacuation slide packs for the presence of tie-down straps, and, if
applicable, removal of the tie-down straps. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

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

Conclusion

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

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 144 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $23,040, or $160 per
product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this 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 this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and

    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2008-23-17 Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER):
Amendment 39-15738. Docket No. FAA-2008-0889; Directorate Identifier
2008-NM-092-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective December
30, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to the airplanes specified in paragraphs
(c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD.
    (1) EMBRAER Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, and -100
SU, -200 LR, -200 STD, and -200 SU airplanes, serial numbers
17000002, 17000004 thru 17000013, and 17000015 thru 17000196,
certificated in any category.
    (2) EMBRAER Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 IGW, -100 ECJ,
-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes, serial numbers 19000002,
19000004 thru 19000132, and 19000135, certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 25:
Equipment/Furnishings.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    [E]scape slide system installation [was found with] * * * tie-
down straps which are used for escape slide packing [having not been
removed]. The non-removal of the tie-down straps does not allow the
aircraft door to reach the fully open position and the consequent
deployment of the escape slide system in a * * * emergency
evacuation, affecting the occupying safety.

The unsafe condition is failure of an evacuation system, which could
impede an emergency evacuation and increase the chance of injury to
passengers and flightcrew during the evacuation. The corrective
action involves inspection of the forward and rearward doors'
emergency evacuation slide packs for the presence of tie-down
straps, and, if applicable, removal of the tie-down straps.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done: Within 600 flight hours after the
effective date of this AD, carry out a general visual inspection
(GVI) of the emergency evacuation slide packs installed on the
forward and rearward doors, in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-25-0088, dated December
21, 2007; or 190-25-0062, dated December 21, 2007; as applicable. If
tie-down straps are found, they must be cut and removed from the
slide pack before further flight.

    Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a general visual inspection
(GVI) is: ``A visual examination of an interior or exterior area,
installation, or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure, or
irregularity. This level of inspection is made from within touching
distance unless otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to
ensure visual access to all exposed surfaces in the inspection area.
This level of inspection is made under normally available lighting
conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or
droplight and may require removal or opening of access panels or
doors. Stands, ladders, or platforms may be required to gain
proximity to the area being checked.''

FAA AD Differences

    Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,

Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that

the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the

Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing

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

    \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 Phlx Rules at Options 2, Section 4,
Obligations of Market Makers; Options 4, Section 8, Long-Term Options
Contracts; Options 4A, Section 6, Position Limits; Options 4A, Section
12, Terms of Index Options Contracts; and Options 4C, Section 5, Series
of U.S. Dollar-Settled Foreign Currency Options Contracts Open for
Trading. The Exchange also proposes a technical amendment within Equity
11, Section 4, Payment on Delivery--Collect on Delivery.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/phlx/rules, 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 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 Options 2, Section 4, Obligations of
Market Makers; Options 4, Section 8, Long-Term Options Contracts;
Options 4A, Section 6, Position Limits; Options 4A, Section 12, Terms
of Index Options Contracts; and Options 4C, Section 5, Series of U.S.
Dollar-Settled Foreign Currency Options Contracts Open for Trading.
    The Exchange also proposes a technical amendment within Equity 11,
Section 4, Payment on Delivery--Collect on Delivery.
Bid/Ask Differentials for Long-Term Options Series
    Phlx Options 4, Section 8(a), Options 4A, Section 12(b)(2) and
Options 4C, Section 5(a)(1)(C) describes the bid/ask differentials for
long-term options series for equity options, exchange-traded products,
indexes, and U.S. dollar-settled foreign currencies, respectively.
Currently, the bid/ask differentials shall not apply to such options
series until the time to expiration is less than nine (9) months for
equity options and exchange-traded products as provided for within
Options 4, Section 8(a). Currently, bid/ask differentials shall not
apply to such options series until the time to expiration is less than
twelve (12) months for index options as provided for within Options 4A,
Section 12(b)(2). Currently, bid/ask differentials shall not apply to
such options series until the time to expiration is less than nine (9)
months for U.S. dollar-settled foreign currency options as provided for
within Options 4C, Section 5(a)(1)(C).

    The Exchange proposes to centralize the bid/ask differentials from
Options 4, Section 8(a), Options 4A, Section 12(b)(2) and Options 4C,
Section 5(a)(1)(C) within Options 2, Section 4(c)(1)(A) and add a
sentence to the aforementioned rules that cites to Options 2, Section
4(b)(4)(i) for information on bid/ask differentials for the various
products. The Exchange believes that this relocation will provide
Primary Market Makers and Competitive Market Makers with centralized
information regarding their bid/ask differential requirements.
Obsolete Listings
    The Exchange proposes to remove references to SIG Oil Exploration &
Production Index within Options 4A, Section 6(b)(i) and Supplementary
Material to Options 4A, Section 12. The SIG Oil Exploration &
Production Index has not been listed by Phlx since 2016. The Exchange
also proposes to remove a reference to the SIG Energy MLP Index\TM\
within Supplementary Material to Options 4A, Section 12 as it has not
been listed on Phlx since 2017. The Exchange will file a rule change
with the Commission in the event that it desires to list these products
in the future.
Technical Amendment
    The Exchange proposes to add the title, ``Supplementary Material to
Equity 11, Section 4'' within Equity 11, Section 4 and renumber the
rule text that follows which includes defined terms. The Exchange also
proposes to correct a lettering issue within the rule. These amendments
are non-substantive and intended solely to make the rule easier to
read.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\3\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\4\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest.

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

Bid/Ask Differentials for Long-Term Options Series
    The Exchange's proposal to amend Options 4, Section 8(a), Options
4A, Section 12(b)(2) and Options 4C, Section 5(a)(1)(C) to relocate
text concerning bid/ask differentials for long-term option series is
consistent with the Act. The Exchange's proposal will centralize the
bid/ask differentials within Options 2, Section 4(c)(1)(A) and add a
sentence to Options 4, Section 8(a), Options 4A, Section 12(b)(2) and
Options 4C, Section 5(a)(1)(C) that cites to Options 2, Section
4(c)(1)(A) for information on bid/ask differentials for the various
products. The Exchange believes that this relocation will provide Lead
Market Makers and Market Makers with centralized information regarding
their bid/ask differential requirements.
Obsolete Listings
    The Exchange's proposal to remove references to SIG Oil Exploration
& Production Index within Options 4A, Section 6(b)(i) and Supplementary
Material to Options 4A, Section 12 and to remove a reference to the SIG
Oil Exploration & Production Index within Supplementary Material to
Options 4A, Section 12 is consistent with the Act. These listing have
not appeared on Phlx for several years.
Technical Amendment
    The Exchange's proposal to add the title, ``Supplementary Material
to Equity 11, Section 4'' within Equity 11, Section 4 and renumber and
re-letter rule text are non-substantive and intended solely to make the
rule easier to read.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
Bid/Ask Differentials for Long-Term Options Series
    The Exchange's proposal to amend Options 4, Section 8(a), Options
4A, Section 12(b)(2) and Options 4C, Section 5(a)(1)(C) to relocate
text concerning bid/ask differentials for long-term option series does
not impose an undue burden on competition. The Exchange's proposal will
centralize the bid/ask differentials within Options 2, Section
4(c)(1)(A) and add a sentence to Options 4, Section 8(a), Options 4A,
Section 12(b)(2) and Options 4C, Section 5(a)(1)(C) that cites to
Options 2, Section 4(c)(1)(A) for information on bid/ask differentials
for the various products.
Obsolete Listings
    The Exchange's proposal to remove references to SIG Oil Exploration
& Production Index within Options 4A, Section 6(b)(i) and Supplementary
Material to Options 4A, Section 12 and to remove a reference to the SIG
Oil Exploration & Production Index within Supplementary Material to
Options 4A, Section 12 does not impose an undue burden on competition.
These listing have not appeared on Phlx for several years.
Technical Amendment
    The Exchange's proposal to add the title, ``Supplementary Material
to Equity 11, Section 4'' within Equity 11, Section 4 and renumber and
re-letter rule text are non-substantive and intended solely to make the
rule easier to read.

Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

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

    Because the foregoing 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 for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become

requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at

rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

Full Electronic Distribution of Airworthiness Directives

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of policy change; final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the FAA's schedule for transitioning to
full electronic distribution of airworthiness directives (ADs). This
transition will provide a timelier and more cost effective method for
the FAA to provide safety information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 24, 2006 we published a notice in the Federal Register
(71 FR 50113) to announce changes in our AD and Special Airworthiness
Information Bulletins (SAIB) printing and distribution policy. We also
announced our intention to transition to full electronic distribution
for ADs and notified the public that we would immediately stop mailing
paper copies of SAIBs.
    On March 1, 2007 we published a notice in the Federal Register (72
FR 9394) to announce our e-mail subscription service for ADs and SAIBs.
The service, known as GovDelivery, was activated in May 2007 and is
accessible from the Regulatory and Guidance Library (RGL) homepage at:
http://rgl.faa.gov. The service is free of charge and allows any
interested party to subscribe. Subscribers may choose to receive all
published documents or only those pertaining to a specific product make
and model. They also may choose to receive all published documents for

general categories such as `small airplane' or `engine.' The
subscription service sends ADs and SAIBs to the e-mail address of each
subscriber within minutes after publication in the RGL.
    In September of 2007, the FAA stopped mailing paper copies of ADs
and SAIBs to all owners and operators of transport airplanes and
engines installed on transport airplanes.

Full Electronic Distribution

    a. We will stop mailing paper copies of the remaining products
according to the following schedule:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Product                               Date
------------------------------------------------------------------------

 engines.
All other rotorcraft and rotorcraft     January 1, 2010.
 engines.
All aircraft, engines, and propellers.  March 1, 2010.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    b. Owners and operators should use the following resources to
obtain AD and SAIB information electronically:
    (1) Regulatory and Guidance Library (RGL) Web site: http://
rgl.faa.gov.
    (2) Federal Register Web site: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/
    (3) GovDelivery e-mail service--ADs are automatically e-mailed to
subscribers who sign-up through the RGL homepage.
    c. For those people who might not have computer access or who still
desire paper copies, the FAA will continue to provide the AD Biweekly,
which is a paid subscription of all ADs issued in the Federal Register
over the previous 2-week period. The AD Biweekly is printed and mailed
by the Government Printing Office (GPO) and does not include SAIBs.
Contact the GPO directly at phone:<PHONE_NUMBER> to subscribe.
    d. We will continue to fax and or mail paper copies of Emergency
ADs until further notice.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 30, 2009.

Unit II.A. and opens a public comment period on the proposed decisions.
Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide registrations
to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the statutory
standard for registration, that is, that the pesticide can perform its
intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human health
or the environment. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 22, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by the docket
identification (ID) number for the specific pesticide of interest
provided in the table in Unit II.A., by one of the following methods:

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system,

mail comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov,
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index
available at http://www.regulations.gov. Although, listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet
and will be publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly
available docket materials are available either in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard
copy, at the OPP Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S-4400, One Potomac

II. Background

A. What action is the agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's proposed registration review decisions for the pesticides
shown in the following table, and opens a 60-day public comment period
on the proposed decisions.
    Nithiazine, (case  7415) is an insecticide belonging to
the neonicotinoid class of pesticides, which have been synthesized
based on the structure of the naturally occurring pesticide nicotine
(present in tobacco). Nithiazine was first registered by EPA in 1995.
It is registered for use primarily for house fly control in animal
housing facilities (especially poultry facilities; also feed lots,
dairy barns, loafing sheds, and stables), and in industrial and other
locations (such as garbage chutes, dumpsters, loading docks, grease
pits, rest areas, and outdoor restrooms).
    Busan 74 (HPMTS) (case  3033) was first registered in the
United States in 1968 and a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED)
for Busan 74 (HPMTS) was issued in 1995. There are currently no
registered end-use products for HPMTS. There is one registered
manufacturing use product (MUP) (EPA Reg. No.1448-31) that contains
HPMTS as the active ingredient. The MUP is for formulating use only and
the labeling prohibits the product's sale, distribution, or use.

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

    The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier
documents related to the registration review of the case. For example,
the review opened with the posting of a Summary Document, containing a
Preliminary Work Plan, for public comment. For Nithiazine, a Final Work
Plan was posted to the docket following public comment on the initial
docket. For Busan 74 (HPMTS), a Preliminary Work Plan was posted to the
docket followed by a public comment period. Because no additional data
are required and a ``no effect'' on any federally listed threatened or
endangered species determination has been made, the Agency is
publishing a combined Final Work Plan and Proposed Final Decision for
HPMTS.
    The documents in the dockets describe EPA's proposed registration
review decisions of the pesticides included in the table in Unit II.A.
These proposed registration review decisions are supported by the
rationales included in those documents. Following public comment, the
Agency will issue final registration review decisions for products
containing the pesticides listed in the table in Unit II.A.
    The registration review program is being conducted under
congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both
to make timely decisions and to involve the public. Section 3(g) of the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended, required EPA to establish by regulation procedures for
reviewing pesticide registrations, originally with a goal of reviewing
each pesticide's registration every 15 years to ensure that a pesticide
continues to meet the FIFRA standard for registration. The Agency's
final rule to implement this program was issued in August 2006 and
became effective in October 2006, and appears at 40 CFR part 155,
subpart C. The Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 (PRIA)
was amended and extended in September 2007. FIFRA, as amended by PRIA
in 2007, requires EPA to complete registration review decisions by
October 1, 2022, for all pesticides registered as of October 1, 2007.
    The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for
a minimum 60-day public comment period on all proposed registration
review decisions. This comment period is intended to provide an
opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any
necessary amendments to the proposed decision. All comments should be
submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be received by EPA
on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the
docket for the pesticides included in the table in Unit II.A. Comments
received after the close of the comment period will be marked ``late.''
EPA is not required to consider these late comments.
    The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and will provide a ``Response to Comments Memorandum'' in
the docket. The final registration review decision will explain the
effect that any comments had on the decision and provide the Agency's
response to significant comments.
    Background on the registration review program is provided at:
http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review. Links to earlier
documents related to the registration review of Busan 74 (HPMTS) and
Nithiazine are provided at http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/reg_review_status.htm.

 B. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 3(g) of FIFRA and 40 CFR part 155, subpart C, provide
authority for this action.
