interest; and (4) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.

FOREIGN CARRIER EXEMPTION CONDITIONS
                              ATTACHMENT

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the foreign carrier

applicable.  To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government
requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing
any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its International Principal Security Inspector (IPSI) to advise
the IPSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

3) Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage contained
in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any operations
under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the form of a

sovereign immunity, for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1605(a), but only with
respect to those actions or proceedings instituted against it in any
court or other tribunal in the United States that are: a) based on its
operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or b) based on
a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term “international air transportation” means “international
transportation” as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

8) Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

9) Comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 217, concerning the
reporting of scheduled, nonscheduled, and charter data;

required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the Department,
with all applicable orders or regulations of other U.S. agencies and

Implementation Plan (SIP) published September 18, 2020. Sierra Club
requested additional time to provide comments; therefore, EPA is
reopening the comment period for 28 days from the close of the previous
comment period.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published on September

comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, EPA may publish any comment received to its
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 18, 2020 (85 FR 58315), EPA
proposed to partially approve and partially disapprove a revision to
the Michigan SIP for attaining the 2010 1-hour primary sulfur dioxide
(SO2) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for the
Detroit SO2 nonattainment area. This SIP revision includes
Michigan's attainment demonstration and other elements required under
the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA proposed to approve the base year
emissions inventory, and to affirm that the nonattainment new source
review requirements for the area have been met. EPA proposed to
disapprove the attainment demonstration, as well as the requirements
for meeting reasonable further progress toward attainment of the NAAQS,
reasonably available control measures and reasonably available control
technology, and contingency measures. Finally, EPA proposed to
disapprove the plan's control measures for two facilities as not
demonstrating attainment, and proposed to approve the enforceable
control measures for two facilities as SIP strengthening. The comment
period closed on October 19, 2020. On October 9, 2020, EPA received a
request from the Sierra Club to extend the comment period for four
weeks from the end of the comment period.

    Dated: November 2, 2020.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Bats BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend
Exchange Rule 11.27 To Modify the Date of Appendix B Web Site Data
Publication Pursuant to the Regulation NMS Plan To Implement a Tick
Size Pilot Program

March 10, 2017.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on February 28, 2017, Bats BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``BZX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and

has designated this proposal as a ``non-controversial'' proposed rule
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder,\4\ which renders it effective upon filing with
the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend Rule11.27 to modify the date
of Appendix B Web site data publication pursuant to the Regulation NMS
Plan to Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program (``Plan'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.bats.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and
at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the 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 parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Rule 11.27(b) (Compliance with Data Collection Requirements) \5\
implements the data collection and Web site publication requirements of
the Plan.\6\ Rule 11.27(b).08 provides, among other things, that the
requirement that the Exchange or Designated Examining Authority
(``DEA'') make certain data publicly available on their Web site
pursuant to Appendix B and C to the Plan shall commence at the
beginning of the Pilot Period,\7\ and that the Exchange or DEA shall
make data for the Pre-Pilot Period publicly available on their Web site
pursuant to Appendix B and C to the Plan by February 28, 2017.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Exchange Rule 11.27(b). See also Securities Exchange Act
Release Nos. 77105 (February 10, 2016), 81 FR 8112 (February 17,
2016); 77310 (March 7, 2016), 81 FR 13012 (March 11, 2016); and
78795 (September 9, 2016), 81 FR 63508 (September 15, 2016).
    \6\ The Participants filed the Plan to comply with an order
issued by the Commission on June 24, 2014. See Letter from Brendon
J. Weiss, Vice President, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., to
Secretary, Commission, dated August 25, 2014 (``SRO Tick Size Plan
Proposal''). See Securities Exchange Act Release No 72460 (June 24,
2014), 79 FR 36840 (June 30, 2014); see also Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 74892 (May 6, 2015), 80 FR 27513 (May 13, 2015).
    \7\ Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the
meaning ascribed to them in Rule 11.27.
    \8\ On November 30, 2016, the SEC granted exemptive relief to
the Participants, and the Exchange filed proposed rule changes to,
among other things, delay the publication of Web site data pursuant
to Appendices B and C to the Plan until February 28, 2017, and to
delay the ongoing Web site publication by ninety days such that data
would be published within 120 calendar days following the end of the
month. See Letter from David S. Shillman, Associate Director,
Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, to Marcia E. Asquith,
Senior Vice President and Corporate Secretary, FINRA dated November
30, 2016; see also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79533
(December 13, 2016), 81 FR 91990 (December 19, 2016) (Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of File No. SR-BatsBZX-2016-82).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is proposing amendments to Rule 11.27(b).08 to delay
the date by which Pre-Pilot and Pilot Appendix B data is to be made
publicly available on the Exchange or DEA's Web site from February 28,
2017, until April 28, 2017.\9\ Appendix C data for the Pre-Pilot Period
through the month of January 2017, will be published on the Exchange or
DEA's Web site on February 28, 2017, and, thereafter, on the original
30-day schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In addition, the Exchange is proposing an amendment to Rule
11.27(a)(6)(B) to clarify that no member, irrespective of whether
that member operates a trading center, may execute orders in any
Pilot Security in Test Group Three in price increments other than
$0.05, unless an exception applies. This proposed amendment makes
the rule consistent with the Plan and conforms subparagraph
(a)(6)(B) with subparagraph (a)(5)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the SRO Tick Size Plan Proposal, the Participants stated that
the public data will be made available for free ``on a disaggregated
basis by trading center'' on the Web sites of the Participants and the
Designated Examining Authorities.\10\ However, market participants have
expressed confidentiality concerns regarding this approach for over-
the-counter (``OTC'') data.\11\ Thus, the Exchange is filing the
instant proposed rule change to provide additional time to assess a
means of addressing the confidentiality concerns raised in connection
with the publication of Appendix B data related to OTC activity in
furtherance of the objectives of the Plan.\12\ Pursuant to this
amendment, Appendix B data publication will be delayed until April 28,
2017. The Participants anticipate filing an additional proposed rule
change in the near future to address the Appendix B data publication.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 73511 (November 3,
2014), 79 FR 66423 (November 7, 2014) (Notice of Filing of Proposed
National Market System Plan to Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program
on a One-Year Pilot Basis, File No. 4-657) (``Tick Size Plan
Proposal'').
    \11\ See letters from Adam C. Cooper, Senior Managing Director
and Chief Legal Officer, Citadel Securities, to Brent J. Fields,
Secretary, Commission, dated December 21, 2016 (``Citadel letter'');
and William Hebert, Managing Director, Financial Information Forum,
to Robert W. Errett, Deputy Secretary, Commission, dated December
21, 2016 (``FIF letter'').
    \12\ FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, also is submitting an
exemptive request with the SEC in connection with the instant
filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \13\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \14\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of

trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Plan is designed to allow the Commission, market participants,
and the public to study and assess the impact of increment conventions
on the liquidity and trading of the common stock of small-
capitalization companies. The Exchange believes that this proposal is
consistent with the Act because it is in furtherance of the objectives
of Section VII(A) of the Plan in that it is designed to provide the
Exchange with additional time to assess a means of addressing the
confidentiality concerns raised in connection with the publication of
Appendix B data, to comply with the Plan's requirements that the data
made publicly available will not identify the trading center that
generated the data.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange
notes that the proposed rule change implements the provisions of the
Plan.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has filed
the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness and has requested
that the Commission waive the requirement that the proposed rule change
not become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing so that
it may become operative on February 28, 2017.
    The Exchange notes that the proposed rule change is intended to
address confidentiality concerns raised in connection with the
publication of OTC Appendix B data by permitting the Exchange to delay
Web site publication of its Appendix B data from February 28, 2017 to
April 28, 2017.\17\ The Exchange notes that the delay would provide
additional time to assess a means of addressing the confidentiality
concerns. The Exchange notes that it expects Participants to file
proposed rule changes related to publishing Appendix B data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See supra note 11. The Commission notes that FINRA has
submitted a proposed rule change to delay the publication of OTC
Appendix B data. See SR-FINRA-2017-005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it will allow the Exchange to delay publication of its Appendix
B data until April 28, 2017. As noted above, commenters continue to
raise concerns about the publication of OTC Appendix B data.\18\
Delaying publication of Exchange's Appendix B data \19\ will prevent
the publication of partial (i.e., Exchange-only) Appendix B data
required under the Plan. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the
30-day operative delay and designates the proposed rule change to be
operative on February 28, 2017.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ The Commission notes that FINRA has filed a proposed rule
change that is intended to mitigate confidentiality concerns raised
by commenters regarding the publication of OTC Appendix B data. See
SR-FINRA-2017-006.
    \19\ The Commission notes that other Participants have proposed
to delay the publication of their Appendix B data until April 28,
2017. See SR-BatsBYX-2017-05; SR-BatsEDGA-2017-05; SR-BatsEDGX-2017-
13; SR-BX-2017-016; SR-CHX-2017-05; SR-FINRA-2017-005; SR-IEX-2017-
07; SR-NASDAQ-2017-024; SR-Phlx-2017-22; SR-NYSE-2017-10; SR-
NYSEArca-2017-19; SR-NYSEMKT-2017-11.
    \20\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposal is
consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-1001; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-020-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Cessna Aircraft Company Model 500, 501, 550, 551, S550, 560,
560XL, and 650 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by multiple
reports of smoke and/or fire in the tailcone caused by sparking due to
excessive wear of the brushes in the air conditioning (A/C) motor. This
proposed AD would require an inspection to determine the accumulated
hours on certain A/C drive motor assemblies; repetitive replacement of
the brushes in the drive motor assembly, or as an option to the brush
replacement, deactivation of the air conditioner; and return of
replaced brushes to Cessna. We are proposing this AD to prevent the
brushes in the A/C motor from wearing down beyond their limits, which
could result in the rivet in the brush contacting the commutator
causing sparks and consequent fire and/or smoke in the tailcone with no
means to detect or extinguish the fire and/or smoke.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 13,
2012.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2012-1001;
Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-020-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We have received more than 10 reports of smoke/fire (three reports
of fire) in the tailcone of Cessna Aircraft Company Model 525, 550, and
560 airplanes, where investigation revealed brushes had worn beyond
their limits on the part number (P/N) 1134104-1 A/

C compressor motors. The motor assembly is located in the airplane
tailcone where flammable fluids in the form of fuel lines and
hydraulics are present. There is no fire detection or extinguishing
system in the tailcone. We are proposing this AD to prevent the brushes
in the air conditioning motor from wearing down beyond their limits,
which could result in the rivet in the brush contacting the commutator
causing sparks and consequent fire and/or smoke in the tailcone with no
means to detect or extinguish the fire and/or smoke.
    The subject part, P/N 1134104-1 A/C compressor motors, might also
be installed on Model 500, 501, 551, S550, 560XL, and 650 airplanes.
Therefore, those Model 500, 501, 551, S550, 560XL, and 650 airplanes
might be subject to the unsafe condition revealed on Model 525, 550,
and 560 airplanes.

Maintenance Manual.
     Subject 4-11-00, Replacement Time Limits, of Chapter 4,
Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 7, dated April 23, 2012, of the
Cessna Model S550 Maintenance Manual.
    The service information describes procedures for replacement of
life-limited components including P/N 1134104-1 A/C compressor motor
brushes.

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 the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require an inspection to determine if
certain A/C compressor motors are installed, an inspection of the A/C
compressor hour meter that has P/N 1134104-1 or 1134104-5 A/C
compressor motors installed, repetitive replacement of the brushes, or
deactivation of the A/C system with installation of a placard
prohibiting use of the A/C system until replacement of the brushes as
an option to the brush replacement. This proposed AD would also
require, when the brushes are replaced, reporting of aircraft
information related to the replacement of the brushes and sending the
replaced motor brushes to Cessna Aircraft Company for two replacement
cycles.

Interim Action

    We consider this proposed AD interim action. The reporting data
required by this proposed AD will enable us to obtain better insight
into brush wear. The reporting data will also indicate if the
replacement intervals we established are adequate. After we analyze the
reporting data received, we might consider further rulemaking.
    Model 525 airplanes are not subject to this proposed AD. We are
currently considering requiring similar actions for these airplanes.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 1,987 airplanes of
U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

    This AD was prompted by multiple reports of smoke and/or fire in
the tailcone caused by sparking due to excessive wear of the brushes
in the air conditioning (A/C) motor. We are issuing this AD to
prevent the brushes in the A/C motor from wearing down, which could
result in the rivet in the brush contacting the commutator causing
sparks and consequent fire and/or smoke in the tailcone with no
means to detect or extinguish the fire and/or smoke.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Part Number (P/N) Inspection

    Within 30 days or 10 flight hours after the effective date of
this AD, whichever comes first: Inspect the A/C compressor motor to
determine whether P/N 1134104-1 or P/N 1134104-5 is installed. A
review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this
inspection if the part number of the A/C compressor motor can be
conclusively determined from that review.

(h) Inspection of Compressor Hour Meter and Maintenance Records

    If during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD,
any A/C compressor motor is found having P/N 1134104-1 or P/N

on the A/C compressor hour meter as specified in paragraphs (h)(1)
and (h)(2) of this AD:
    (1) Inspect the number of hours on the A/C compressor hour
meter; and
    (2) Check the airplane logbook for any entry for replacing the
A/C compressor motor brushes with new brushes, or for replacing the
compressor motor or compressor condenser module assembly (pallet)
with a motor or assembly that has new brushes;
    (i) If the logbook contains an entry for replacement of parts as
specified in paragraph (h)(2) of this AD, determine the number of
hours on the A/C compressor motor brushes by comparing the number of
hours on the compressor motor since replacement and use this number
in lieu of the number determined in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD; or
    (ii) If through the logbook check you cannot positively
determine the number of hours on the A/C compressor motor brushes as
specified in paragraph (h)(2) of this AD, use the number of hours on
the A/C compressor hour meter determined in paragraph (h)(1) of this
AD or presume the brushes have over 500 hours time-in-service.

(i) Replacement

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP19-509-000]

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on September 4, 2019, Texas Eastern Transmission,
LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed
in Docket No. CP19-509-000 an application pursuant to section 7(c) of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting a certificate of public
convenience and necessity to excavate, elevate, and replace certain
segments of four different natural gas pipelines (Lines 10, 15, 25, and
30) and appurtenant facilities located in Marshall County, West
Virginia. The Marshall County Mine Panel 19E Project is designed to
maintain the safe and efficient operation of Texas Eastern's pipeline
facilities at certificated design capacities for the duration of
planned longwall mining activities in the area beneath Texas Eastern's
pipelines. Texas Eastern estimates the cost of the project to be
approximately $38 million and proposes to re-install the pipeline
belowground after subsidence has stabilized and the 2020-2021 heating
season has ended, all as more fully described in the application which
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website web at
http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
the document. For assistance, contact FERC at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TYY,
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Lisa
A. Connolly, Director, Rates and Certificates, Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642 Houston, Texas 77251-1642, by telephone
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's
public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary
reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies
of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A
party must submit 3 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the
Commission and must provide a copy to the applicant and to every other
party. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list and will be
notified of any meetings associated with the Commission's environmental
review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve
copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party
commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other
parties or issued by the Commission and will not have the right to seek
court review of the Commission's final order.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new Natural Gas Act
section 3 or section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a
party to a certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner.
If seeking to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to show
good cause why the time limitation should be waived, and should provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d)(1) of
the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\2\

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing Company
Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. The NPRM published in
the Federal Register on September 8, 2016 (81 FR 62022) (``the NPRM'').
The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracks in the horizontal stabilizer
lower skins. The NPRM proposed to require inspections for cracking of
the horizontal stabilizer lower skin, including repetitive inspections,
as applicable, and corrective actions if necessary; and also proposed
actions that would terminate certain repetitive inspections. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks in horizontal stabilizer
lower skins resulting in reduced local stiffness of the horizontal
stabilizer, which can cause heavy vibration leading to loss of
structural integrity of the horizontal stabilizer.

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.

Support for the NPRM

    Boeing expressed support for the NPRM.

Request To Revise Repair Instructions

    All Nippon Airways (ANA) requested that we revise paragraphs (h)(1)
and (h)(3) of the proposed AD to state ``repair common to the rear spar
lower chord between station (STA) 83.50 and STA 249.10,'' instead of
``repair.'' ANA stated that there might be a repair installed on the
lower skin of the horizontal stabilizer that is not addressed in Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-55-1059, Revision 1, dated April
6, 2016 (``SASB 737-55-1059 R1''). ANA explained that some structural
repair manual repairs and external doublers are not applicable to the
inspection area specified in SASB 737-55-1059 R1.
    We agree with ANA's request. Specifying the location of the
applicable repairs may reduce potential confusion. Therefore, we have
revised paragraphs (h)(1), (h)(2), and (h)(3) of this AD to specify the
location of the applicable repairs.

Request To Clarify Fastener Requirements

    ANA requested that we clarify the fastener requirements. ANA stated
that figure 3 in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-55-1059,
dated September 10, 1998, specifies to use blind rivets and Hi-lok
fasteners; however, compliance table 2, note (b), in SASB 737-55-1059
R1, states that doublers installed with solid rivets do not need to be
inspected for any loose or missing fasteners. ANA explained that Boeing
told ANA that Hi-lok fasteners do not require inspection for any loose
or missing fasteners.
    We agree to clarify the fastener requirements. We infer that ANA is
requesting that we update paragraph (h) of this AD to specify that Hi-
lok fasteners do not require inspection. We have determined that Hi-lok
fasteners do not require inspection. Therefore, we have added paragraph
(i)(3) to this AD to specify that where SASB 737-55-1059 R1 specifies
that doublers installed with solid rivets do not need to be inspected
for loose or missing fasteners, this AD does not require doublers
installed with solid rivets or Hi-lok fasteners to be inspected for
loose or missing fasteners. We have also revised paragraph (h)(1) of
this AD to reference this exception.

Request To Revise Configuration Description

    ANA requested that we revise paragraph (h) of the proposed AD to
refer to the horizontal stabilizer configuration with the applicable
repair installed side only. ANA asserted that the wording of paragraph
(h) of the proposed AD could be interpreted to require inspection of
both the repaired and unrepaired sides of the horizontal stabilizer.
    We agree with ANA's request. The wording in the proposed AD is not
clear regarding what is required if an airplane has left and right
stabilizers that are different configurations. For example, the left-
side stabilizer may have a repair installed common to the rear spar
lower chord (configuration 2), whereas the right side may not have a
repair (configuration 1). We have revised the affected airplanes in
paragraph (g) of this AD from ``Group 1, Configuration 1,

airplanes'' to ``any Configuration 1 horizontal stabilizer on Group 1
airplanes''. We have revised the affected products in paragraph (h) of
this AD from ``Group 1, Configuration 2, airplanes'' to ``any
Configuration 2 horizontal stabilizer on Group 1 airplanes.''

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that accomplishing the Supplemental
Type Certificate (STC) ST01219SE does not affect the actions specified
in the NPRM.
    We concur with the commenter. We have redesignated paragraph (c) of
the proposed AD as paragraph (c)(1) of this AD and added paragraph
(c)(2) to this AD to state that installation of STC ST01219SE does not
affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this final
rule. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is installed, a
``change in product'' AMOC approval request is not necessary to comply
with the requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM 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 Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed SASB 737-55-1059 R1. The service information describes
procedures for doing inspections of the horizontal stabilizer lower
skin, and repairs. The service information also describes procedures
for doing actions that would terminate certain repetitive inspections.
This service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 270 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                            $4,335.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs that
will be required based on the results of the inspection. We have no way
of determining the number of aircraft that might need these repairs:

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

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

2017-06-14 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-18838; Docket No. FAA-
2016-9068; Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-067-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective May 2, 2017.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-300, -400,
and -500 series airplanes, certificated in any category, as
identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-55-1059,
Revision 1, dated April 6, 2016 (``SASB 737-55-1059 R1'').

does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by
this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is
installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 55; Horizontal
stabilizer.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in horizontal
