Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional
Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed 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:

    Following in-flight test deployments, several Air-Driven
generators (ADGs) failed to come on-line. Investigation revealed
that, as a result of a wiring anomaly that had not been detected
during ADG manufacture, a short circuit was possible between certain
internal wires and their metallic over-braided shields, which could
result in the ADG not providing power when deployed. * * *

The unsafe condition is that failure of the ADG could lead to loss of
several functions essential for safe flight. The proposed AD would
require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition
described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 6, 2008.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2008-09, dated February 5, 2008 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

Following in-flight test deployments, several Air-Driven generators
(ADGs) failed to come on-line. Investigation revealed that, as a
result of a wiring anomaly that had not been detected during ADG
manufacture, a short circuit was possible between certain internal
wires and their metallic over-braided shields, which could result in
the ADG not providing power when deployed. This directive mandates
checking of the ADG and modification of the ADG internal wiring, if
required. It also prohibits future installation of unmodified ADGs.

The unsafe condition is that failure of the ADG could lead to loss of
several functions essential for safe flight. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 601R-24-113, Revision A,
dated August 11, 2005. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

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 proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 686 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 5 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $0 per product. Where the
service information lists required parts costs that are covered under
warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these costs.
As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some
parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $274,400, or $400 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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    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]

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

Bombardier, Inc. (Formerly Canadair): Docket No. FAA-2008-0521;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-040-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by June 6, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional
Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes; certificated in any category;
having serial numbers (SNs) 7305 through 7990 and 8000 and
subsequent.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24:
Electrical Power.

Reason

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

    Following in-flight test deployments, several Air-Driven
generators (ADGs) failed to come on-line. Investigation revealed
that, as a result of a wiring anomaly that had not been detected
during ADG manufacture, a short circuit was possible between certain
internal wires and their metallic over-braided shields, which could
result in the ADG not providing power when deployed. This directive
mandates checking of the ADG and modification of the ADG internal
wiring, if required. It also prohibits future installation of
unmodified ADGs.

    The unsafe condition is that failure of the ADG could lead to
loss of several functions essential for safe flight.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) For airplanes having serial number (SN) 7305 through 7990
and 8000 through 8083: Within 12 months after the effective date of
this AD, inspect the SN of the installed ADG. A review of airplane
maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the
serial number of the ADG can be conclusively determined from that
review.
    (i) If the serial number is not listed in paragraph 1.A of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-24-113, Revision A, dated August
11, 2005, no further action is required by this AD.
    (ii) If the serial number is listed in paragraph 1.A of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-24-113, Revision A, dated August
11, 2005, before further flight, inspect the ADG identification
plate and, as applicable, do the actions of paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(A)
or (f)(1)(ii)(B) of this AD.
    (A) If the identification plate is marked with the symbol ``24-
2'', no further action is required by this AD.
    (B) If the identification plate is not marked with the symbol
``24-2'', modify the ADG wiring in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of the service bulletin.
    (2) For airplanes having SN 7305 through 7990 and 8000 and
subsequent: As of the effective date of this AD, no ADG as described
in Table 1 of this AD may be installed on any airplane, unless the
identification plate of the ADG is identified with the symbol ``24-
2'' (refer to Hamilton Sundstrand Service Bulletin ERPS10AG-24-2 for
further information).

                      Table 1.--ADG Identification
------------------------------------------------------------------------
          ADG part No.--                   Having ADG serial No.--

 (761339E).                          through 0438, 0440 through 0456,
                                     0458 through 0467, 0469, 0471
                                     through 0590, 0592 through 0597,
                                     0599 through 0745, 0747 through
                                     1005, or 1400 through 1439.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (3) Actions done before the effective date of this AD according
to Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-24-113, dated April 22, 2004,
are considered acceptable for compliance with the corresponding
actions specified in this AD, provided the ADG has not been replaced
since those actions were done.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2019-0545]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Niantic River, Niantic, CT

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is modifying the operating schedule that
governs the S156 Bridge across the Niantic River, mile 0.1 at Niantic,
CT. The bridge owner, the Connecticut Department of Transportation,
submitted a request to allow six hours notice for night time transits
during the months of November and April due to infrequent bridge
openings. This final rule will approve the request and align the
regulations for the S156 Bridge with other Connecticut Department of
Transportation Bridges.

DATES: This rule is effective January 22, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
CT DOT Connecticut Department of Transportation
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
OMB Office of Management and Budget
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Advance, Supplemental)
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On August 20, 2019, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Niantic River,
Niantic, CT'' in the Federal Register (84 FR 43093). In the NPRM,
incorrect clearances for the bridge were provided. The correct
clearances are provided below in Section III. No comments were received
in response to the NPRM and no comments were made concerning the more
constrictive clearances in the NPRM.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under the authority of 33
U.S.C. 499. The S156 Bridge at mile 0.1 over the Niantic River at
Niantic, Connecticut, has a vertical clearance of 32 feet at mean high
water and 34 feet at mean low water. Vertical clearance is unlimited
when the draw is open. Horizontal clearance is approximately 100 feet.
Waterway users include recreational and small commercial vessels.
    The existing regulation, 33 CFR 117.215(b), requires that from
December 1 through March 31, from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., the draw shall open
on signal if at least six hours notice is given. CT DOT requested that
the start of the winter schedule begin one month sooner and end one
month later than presently allowed by the regulation. This rule change
will align the winter operation and staffing of the three CT DOT
drawbridges located in the same operational area by extending the range
of months during which six hours notice is required to include November
and April. This rule change will allow for more efficient and economic
operation of the bridge while meeting the reasonable needs of
navigation.
    The bridge logs show that during the last three years only three
requests to open occurred between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. in November and no
request to open were received between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. in April. None
of the requests were from commercial vessels. CT DOT and the Coast
Guard conducted outreach to stakeholders with no objections received.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard provided 60 days for comment and no comments were
received. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM.
    The final rule provides that from November 1 through April 30,
between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., the draw shall open on
signal if at least six hours notice is given. It is our opinion that
the proposed rule meets the reasonable needs of marine traffic.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protesters.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the fact that only
three vessel transits would have been affected over the past three
years. We believe that this change to the drawbridge operation
regulation at 33 CFR 117.215(b) will meet the reasonable needs of
navigation.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comment from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    The bridge will continue to open on signal with six hours notice
between the hours of 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. during the months of November
and April. Based on the last three years of records, an average of one
vessel annually will be affected by the change. While some owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit the bridge may be small
entities, for the reasons stated in section V.A above, this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Government

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1
(series) which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f). We have
made a determination that this action is one of a category of actions
that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This rule promulgates the operating regulations
or procedures for drawbridges. This action is categorically excluded
from further review, under paragraph L49, of Chapter 3, Table 3-1 of
the U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementation Procedures.
    Neither a Record of Environmental Consideration nor a Memorandum
for the Record are required for this rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

agreements.

Applicant rep: Alexander Van der Bellen,<PHONE_NUMBER>   DOT Analyst:
Tretha Chromey<PHONE_NUMBER>

D I S P O S I T I O N

XX	Granted (subject to conditions, see below)

The above action was effective when taken: August 31, 2005 through
August 31, 2007.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		      Office of International Aviation

XX The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement
between the United States and Mexico.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:	XX Holder’s
certificates of public convenience and necessity

XX Standard exemption conditions (attached)

Conditions:  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.  Consistent with our policy, the dormancy notice
period will begin March 4, 2006, Delta’s proposed startup date for

The route integration authority granted 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 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; and (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 exemption 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 authority 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``General Principles for Evaluating the Abuse Deterrence of
Generic Solid Oral Opioid Drug Products.'' Prescription opioid
analgesics are an important component of modern pain management.
However, abuse and misuse of these drug products have created a serious
and growing public health problem. One important step toward the goal
of creating safer opioid analgesics has been the development of opioid
drug products that are formulated to deter abuse. FDA considers the
development of these products a high public health priority. It is
important that generic versions of opioids that reference listed drugs
whose labeling describes abuse-deterrent properties are available to
help ensure availability of analgesics for patients who need them.
    For FDA to approve an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA), the
Agency must find, among other things, that the generic drug product has
the same active ingredient(s), dosage form, route of administration,
strength, and, with limited exceptions, labeling as the reference
listed drug (RLD); is bioequivalent to its RLD; that the methods used
in, or the facilities and controls used for, the manufacture,
processing, and packing of the drug are adequate to assure and preserve
its identity, strength, quality, and purity; and that the inactive
ingredients and composition of the generic drug are not unsafe for use
under the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the
labeling (see, e.g., the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C
Act) 505(j)(2)(A) and (j)(4) (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(2)(A) and (j)(4))). FDA
classifies as ``therapeutically equivalent'' those products that meet
the following general criteria: (1) They are approved as safe and
effective; (2) they are pharmaceutical equivalents in that they: (a)
Contain identical amounts of the same active ingredient in the same
dosage form and route of administration, and (b) meet compendial or
other applicable standards of strength, quality, purity, and identity;
(3) they are bioequivalent; (4) they are adequately labeled; and (5)
they are manufactured in compliance with current good manufacturing
practices regulations. (See preface of Approved Drug Products with
Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (commonly referred to as the Orange
Book).) FDA believes that a product classified as therapeutically
equivalent can be substituted with the full expectation that the
substituted product will produce the same clinical effect and safety
profile as the reference product.
    Accordingly, if the RLD's labeling describes abuse-deterrent
properties, the ANDA applicant should evaluate its product to show that
it is no less abuse-deterrent than the RLD with respect to all
potential routes of abuse. Marketing a generic opioid drug product that
is less abuse-deterrent than the RLD could lead opioid abusers to
preferentially seek out and abuse generics.
    This draft guidance describes FDA's current thinking about the
studies that should be conducted by a potential ANDA applicant and
submitted to FDA in an ANDA to demonstrate that a generic solid oral
opioid drug product is no less abuse-deterrent than its RLD with
respect to all potential routes of abuse.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on the principles
for evaluating the abuse-deterrence of generic solid oral opioid drug
products. 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.
    FDA intends to hold a public meeting following the close of the
comment period to discuss further the evaluation of the abuse
deterrence of generic opioid drug products and related issues, as
appropriate. Further details will follow in a notice of public meeting
published in the Federal Register.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to exempt seven individuals from
the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) that interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers have
``no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or
any other condition which is likely to cause loss of consciousness or
any loss of ability to control a CMV.'' The exemptions enable these
individuals who have had one or more seizures and are taking anti-
seizure medication to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.

DATES: The exemptions were applicable on April 26, 2018. The exemptions
expire on April 26, 2020.

II. Background

    On March 22, 2018, FMCSA published a notice announcing receipt of
applications from seven individuals requesting an exemption from the
epilepsy and seizure disorders prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) and
requested comments from the public (83 FR 12641). The public comment
period ended on April 23, 2018, and one comment was received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
determined that granting exemptions to these individuals would achieve
a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
achieved by complying with the current regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding epilepsy
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition which
is likely to cause the loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to
control a CMV.
    In addition to the regulations, FMCSA has published advisory
criteria \1\ to assist medical examiners in determining whether drivers
with certain medical conditions are qualified to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce. [49 CFR part 391, APPENDIX A TO PART 391--MEDICAL
ADVISORY CRITERIA, section H. Epilepsy: Sec.  391.41(b)(8), paragraphs
3, 4, and 5.]

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

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received one comment in this proceeding. This comment
supported granting exemptions to these applicants.

IV. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the epilepsy and seizure disorder prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8) if the exemption is likely to achieve an equivalent or
greater level of safety than would be achieved without the exemption.
The exemption allows the applicants to operate CMVs in interstate
commerce.
    In reaching the decision to grant these exemption requests, FMCSA
considered

the 2007 recommendations of the Agency's Medical Expert Panel (MEP).
The January 15, 2013, Federal Register notice (78 FR 3069) provides the
current MEP recommendations which is the criteria the Agency uses to
grant seizure exemptions.
    The Agency's decision regarding these exemption applications is
based on an individualized assessment of each applicant's medical
information, including the root cause of the respective seizure(s) and
medical information about the applicant's seizure history, the length
of time that has elapsed since the individual's last seizure, the
stability of each individual's treatment regimen and the duration of
time on or off of anti-seizure medication. In addition, the Agency
reviewed the treating clinician's medical opinion related to the
ability of the driver to safely operate a CMV with a history of seizure
and each applicant's driving record found in the Commercial Driver's
License Information System (CDLIS) for commercial driver's license
(CDL) holders, and interstate and intrastate inspections recorded in
the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). For non-CDL
holders, the Agency reviewed the driving records from the State
Driver's Licensing Agency (SDLA). A summary of each applicant's seizure
history was discussed in the March 22, 2018 Federal Register notice (83
FR 12641) and will not be repeated in this notice.
    These seven applicants have been seizure-free over a range of 29
years while taking anti-seizure medication and maintained a stable
medication treatment regimen for the last two years. In each case, the
applicant's treating physician verified his or her seizure history and
supports the ability to drive commercially.
    The Agency acknowledges the potential consequences of a driver
experiencing a seizure while operating a CMV. However, the Agency
believes the drivers granted this exemption have demonstrated that they
are unlikely to have a seizure and their medical condition does not
pose a risk to public safety.
    Consequently, FMCSA finds that in each case exempting these
applicants from the epilepsy and seizure disorder prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8) is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that
existing without the exemption.

V. Conditions and Requirements

    The terms and conditions of the exemption are provided to the
applicants in the exemption document and includes the following: (1)
Each driver must remain seizure-free and maintain a stable treatment
during the two-year exemption period; (2) each driver must submit
annual reports from their treating physicians attesting to the
stability of treatment and that the driver has remained seizure-free;
(3) each driver must undergo an annual medical examination by a
certified Medical Examiner, as defined by 49 CFR 390.5; and (4) each
driver must provide a copy of the annual medical certification to the
employer for retention in the driver's qualification file, or keep a
copy of his/her driver's qualification file if he/she is self-employed.
The driver must also have a copy of the exemption when driving, for
presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement
official.

VI. Preemption

    During the period the exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with this exemption with
respect to a person operating under the exemption.

VII. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the seven exemption applications,
FMCSA exempts the following drivers from the epilepsy and seizure
disorder prohibition, 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8), subject to the requirements
cited above:

Brian L. Johnson (MN)
Gerald Klein Jr. (ID)
Shane W. Martinek (OK)
Sean P. Plover (PA)
Stephen M. Soden (LA)
Leon A. Stannard (NY)
William P. Swick (MI)

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), each exemption will be
valid for two years from the effective date unless revoked earlier by
FMCSA. The exemption will be revoked if the following occurs: (1) The
person fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption;
(2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was
maintained prior to being granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136 and 31315.

    Issued on: May 16, 2018.

Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) that applies to all Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA-31, PA-31-325,
and PA-31-350 airplanes. The existing AD currently requires a detailed
repetitive inspection of the exhaust system downstream of the
turbochargers and repair or replacement of parts as necessary. Since we
issued that AD, forced landings of aircraft have occurred due to
exhaust system failures upstream of aircraft turbochargers and between
recurring detailed inspections. This proposed AD would require both
visual and detailed repetitive inspections, expanding the inspection
scope to include the entirety of each airplane exhaust system. We are
proposing this AD to prevent the possibility of an inflight powerplant
fire due to an exhaust system failure.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 2,
2012.

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

Discussion

    On April 7, 1986, AD 82-16-05 R1, amendment 39-5278 (51 FR 11707-
01, April 7, 1986), was published in the Federal Register for certain
Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA-31, PA-31-325, and PA-31-350 airplanes.
That AD requires a detailed repetitive inspection of the exhaust system
downstream of the turbochargers and repair or replacement of parts as
necessary. That AD resulted from exhaust system failures downstream
from turbochargers. We issued that AD to prevent the possibility of an
inflight powerplant fire due to an exhaust system failure.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 82-16-05 R1 (51 FR 11707-01, April 7, 1986),
forced landings of aircraft have occurred due to exhaust system
failures upstream of aircraft turbochargers and between recurring
detailed inspections.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 82-16-05
R1 (51 FR 11707-01, April 7, 1986). This proposed AD would require a
detailed repetitive inspection of the entire exhaust systems.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,016 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
              Action                      Labor cost              Parts cost          product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visual inspection................  2 work-hours x $85 per    Not applicable.....            $170        $172,720
                                    hour = $170.
Disassembled inspection..........  5 work-hours x $85 per    Not applicable.....             425         431,800
                                    hour = $425.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The on-condition costs of exhaust system part repairs and
replacement cannot be predicted because the multitude of manner and
environments in which aircraft operate will result in widely varying
exhaust system conditions over time.

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

certificated in any category.

 (d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association
(ATA) of America Code 78, Engine Exhaust.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the forced landings of aircraft due to
exhaust system failures between recurring detailed inspections. We
are issuing this AD to prevent the possibility of an inflight
powerplant fire due to an exhaust system failure.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Visual Inspection

    Within the next 50 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the
effective date of this AD or within the next 6 months after the
effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, and repetitively
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 50 hours TIS or 6 months,
whichever occurs first, inspect the entirety of each exhaust system
by gaining access to (but not disassembling) each exhaust system.
Using a flashlight and a mirror, visually inspect the entirety of
each exhaust system for bulges, burned areas, corrosion, cracks,
deformation, exhaust stains, and holes and pinholes. Riveted
couplings should be checked for loose rivets and cracks emanating
from rivet holes. Inspection procedure references can be found in
FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1B, Change 1, dated September 27, 2001,
Acceptable Methods, Techniques, And Practices--Aircraft Inspection
and Repair (http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/99C827DB9BAAC81B86256B4500596C4E?OpenDocument&Highlight=ac%2043.13-1b).

(h) Detailed Inspection

    Within the next 100 hours TIS after the effective date of this
AD or within the next 12 months after the effective date of this AD,
whichever occurs first, and repetitively thereafter at intervals not
to exceed 100 hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs first, do the
following:
    (1) Gain access to each exhaust system and remove all exhaust
system v-band couplings.

    Note 1 to paragraph (h) of this AD:  During removal, we
recommend not opening the v-band couplings more than the MINIMUM
diameter necessary to clear coupled flanges.

    (2) Using either a dye-penetrant inspection method or a light
and a 10-power magnifying glass (inspection procedure references can
be found in FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1B, Change 1, dated
September 27, 2001, Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices-
Aircraft Inspection and Repair (http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/99C827DB9BAAC81B86256B4500596C4E?OpenDocument&Highlight=ac%2043.13-1b), accomplish the following:
    (i) Inspect the tailpipe assembly for damage including bulges,
burned areas, corrosion, cracks, deformation, exhaust stains, and
holes and pinholes.
    (ii) Inspect each v-band coupling for damage including bending,
cracks (those emanating from rivets, too), failed spot welds,
indications of exhaust flanges bottoming in couplings, loose rivets,
overstress, and spreading of v-band segments. Inspect the bolt and
nut of each coupling for thread damage.
    (iii) Inspect the flanges of the exhaust system (which mate with
the transition), the transition, the tail pipe, and the turbocharger
(uncoupled) for cracks, distortion, and evidence indicative of
improper surface mating.
    (3) Inspect the three exhaust system slip joints between each
turbocharger and its closest riser for seizure.

    Note 2 to paragraph (h) of this AD:  We established the
repetitive inspection compliance times of this AD so they may
coincide with scheduled oil changes and annual inspections.

(i) Corrective Actions

    (1) If any damage is found as a result of the inspections
required in paragraph (g) of this AD, before further flight, do the
following corrective actions:
    (i) Replace loose or damaged v-band couplings following the
instructions in paragraph (k) of this AD.
    (ii) Repair or replace loose fasteners and damaged exhaust
system parts with airworthy parts.
    (2) If any damage is found as a result of the inspections listed
in paragraph (h) of this AD, before further flight, do the following
corrective actions:
    (i) Replace any loose or damaged v-band couplings following the
instructions in paragraph (k) of this AD.
    (ii) Repair or replace loose fasteners, seized slip joints, and
damaged exhaust system parts with airworthy parts.
    (iii) Replace any part exhibiting flange cracking or distortion,
and remove any carbon deposits from mating flange surfaces.

(j) Mandatory Replacement

    (1) Initially replace the v-band coupling following the
procedures in paragraph (k) of

this AD at whichever of the following occurs later:
    (i) The v-band coupling reaches a total of 1,000 hours time-in-
service (TIS); or
    (ii) 50 hours TIS after the effective date of this AD, or 6
months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs
earlier.
    (2) After the initial replacement required in paragraph (j)(1)
of this AD, repetitively thereafter replace the v-band coupling
every 1,000 hours TIS.

(k) Flange and V-Band Coupling

    (1) Install serviceable and replacement v-band couplings
following the applicable instructions contained in Piper Aircraft
Corporation Service Bulletin No. 644E, dated May 9, 2012 and/or
Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1238B, dated January 6, 2010.
    (2) Use the applicable torque values specified within Piper
Aircraft Corporation Service Bulletin No. 644E, dated May 9, 2012,
for Piper v-band couplings; and within Lycoming Service Instruction
No. 1238B, dated January 6, 2010, for Lycoming v-band couplings;
making sure the torque indicator wrench socket is properly aligned
to prevent side loads upon the (v-band coupling) bolt.
    (3) Align each flange couple so that mating flange surfaces are
flat against each other (do not use a v-band coupling to pull
flanges into alignment).
    (4) Verify that the locknuts exhibit a prevailing torque, and
replace any locknuts and/or mating couplings with airworthy parts
when locknuts are not exhibiting a prevailing torque.

    Note 1 to paragraph (k) of this AD:  During installation, we
recommend not opening the v-band coupling more than the MINIMUM
diameter necessary to clear coupled flanges.
