Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP08-63-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Fitchburg Expansion Project,
Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Site Visit

February 22, 2008.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the potential environmental impacts of the Fitchburg Expansion
Project involving construction and operation of natural gas pipeline
facilities by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee) in Worcester
and Middlesex Counties, Massachusetts. The EA will be used by the
Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the
project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help determine which issues
need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period
will close on March 24, 2008. Details on how to submit comments are
provided in the Public Participation section of this notice.
    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government agencies; elected officials; Native American
tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers.
State and local government representatives are asked to notify their
constituents of this proposed project and to encourage them to comment
on their areas of concern.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' addresses a number
of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and
how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is available for
viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Tennessee's Fitchburg Expansion Project would increase the size of
a portion of its Fitchburg Lateral and install some minor facilities in
order to provide 12,300 dekatherms per day of firm transportation
service for the Massachusetts Development Financial Agency. To
accomplish this, Tennessee proposes to:
     Replace approximately 5.15 miles of 6-inch-diameter
pipeline with 12-inch-diameter pipeline on Tennessee's Line 268-100
(Fitchburg Lateral) in Worcester County, Massachusetts;
     Install a pig \1\ launcher at the existing mainline valve
at the beginning of the Fitchburg Lateral in Framingham, Massachusetts;
and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A pig is an internal tool that can be used to clean and/or
inspect a pipeline for damage or corrosion. A pig launcher/receiver
is an aboveground facility where pigs are inserted into and or
retrieved from the pipeline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Install a pig receiver at the existing Unitil Meter
Station at the terminus of the Fitchburg Lateral (milepost 5.13) in
Lunenburg, Massachusetts.
    The general location of the proposed facilities is shown in
appendix 1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices are
available on the Commission's Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) at the
``eLibrary'' link or from the Commission's Public Reference Room,
888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>.
For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the
``Additional Information'' section of this notice. Copies of the
appendices were sent to all those receiving this notice in the mail.
Requests for detailed maps of the proposed facilities should be made
directly to Tennessee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Tennessee proposes to utilize a 70-to 80-foot-wide construction
right-of-way. This includes the existing permanent right-of-way that
varies between 20 and 30 feet, which would continue to be maintained
after construction. A total of 55.19 acres would be affected during
construction and 15.95 acres would be affected during operation. The
pig launcher and receiver would be constructed adjacent to existing
Tennessee aboveground structures.

The EA Process

    We \3\ are preparing this EA to comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), which requires the Commission
to take into account the environmental impact that could result if it
authorizes Tennessee's proposal. By this notice, we are also asking
federal, state, and local agencies with

jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to environmental
issues to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA.
Agencies that would like to request cooperating status should follow
the instructions for filing comments provided below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ''We'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the FERC's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NEPA also requires the FERC to discover and address concerns the
public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as
``scoping.'' The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the
analysis in the EA on important environmental issues. By this Notice,
we are requesting public comments on the scope of the issues to address
in the EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation
of the EA.
    The EA will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the
construction and operation of the proposed project under these general
headings:
     Geology and soils.
     Land use and visual quality.
     Cultural resources.
     Vegetation and wildlife (including threatened and
endangered species).
     Air quality and noise.
     Reliability and safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project
or portions of the project, where necessary, and make recommendations
on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA.
Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA
may be published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies;
public interest groups; interested individuals; affected landowners;
local libraries and newspapers; and the Commission's official service
list for this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review
if the EA is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before
we make our recommendations to the Commission.
    To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the
instructions in the Public Participation section below.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. By becoming a commentor, your
concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission.
You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the
proposal, alternatives to the proposal including alternative pipeline
routes, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. The more
specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Please carefully
follow these instructions to ensure that your comments are received in
time and properly recorded:
     Send an original and two copies of your letter to:
Kimberley D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
     Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas
Branch 1, PJ-11.1;
     Reference Docket No. CP08-63-000; and
     Mail your comments so that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before March 24, 2008.
    The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments. See Title
18 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's Internet Web site at http://
www.ferc.gov under the ``eFiling'' link and the link to the User's
Guide. Prepare your submission in the same manner as you would if
filing on paper and save it to a file on your hard drive. Before you
can file comments you will need to create an account by clicking on
``Login to File'' and then ``New User Account.'' You will be asked to
select the type of filing you are making. This filing is considered a
``Comment on Filing.''

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the scoping process, you may want to
become an official party to the proceeding known as an ``intervenor.''
Intervenors play a more formal role in the Commission's process. Among
other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-
related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors.
Likewise, each intervenor must send one electronic copy (using the
Commission's eFiling system) or 14 paper copies of its filings to the
Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all
other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. If
you want to become an intervenor, you must file a motion to intervene
according to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214) (see appendix 2).\4\ Only intervenors have
the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Interventions may also be filed electronically via the
Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous discussion on filing
comments electronically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be
granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they
have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be
adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor
status to have your environmental comments considered.

Site Visit

    On April 1, 2008, the Office of Energy Projects' (OEP) staff will
conduct a pre-certification site visit of the proposed Fitchburg
Expansion Project. We will view Tennessee's proposed pipeline route,
route variations, and aboveground facilities that are being considered
for the proposed project. Staff will tour the proposed project area by
automobile and on foot. Representatives of Tennessee will accompany the
OEP staff.
    All interested parties may attend the site visit. Those planning to
attend must provide their own transportation. If you are interested in
attending the site visit, please meet us at 9 a.m. in the parking lot
of the Target at 86 Orchard Hill Park Drive, Leominster, MA.
    For additional information, please contact the Commission's Office
of External Affairs at 1-866-208-FERC (3372).

Environmental Mailing List

    As described above, we may mail the EA for comment. If you are
interested in receiving an EA for review and/or comment, please return
the Environmental Mailing List Mailer (appendix 3). If you do not
return the Environmental Mailing List Mailer, you will be taken off the
mailing list. All individuals who provide written comments will remain
on our environmental mailing list for this project.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8237]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates
listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the

program. If the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) receives
documentation that the community has adopted the required floodplain
management measures prior to the effective suspension date given in
this rule, the suspension will not occur and a notice of this will be
provided by publication in the Federal Register on a subsequent date.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact David Stearrett, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities agree to adopt and administer
local floodplain management measures aimed at protecting lives and new
construction from future flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits the sale
of NFIP flood insurance unless an appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed in this document no longer meet that
statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations, 44 CFR
part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. We recognize that some of
these communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue to be eligible for the sale of
NFIP flood insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of such
communities will be published in the Federal Register.
    In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be
provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for
more than a year on FEMA's initial FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against
certain types of Federal assistance becomes effective for the
communities listed on the date shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and unnecessary because communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities
unless remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Release No. 57300]

Order Granting Registration of Lace Financial Corp. as a
Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization

 February 11, 2008.
    LACE Financial Corp. (``LACE''), a credit rating agency, furnished
to the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') an
application for registration as a nationally recognized

statistical rating organization (``NRSRO'') under section 15E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') for the classes of
credit ratings described in clauses (i) through (v) of section
3(a)(62)(B) of the Exchange Act.
    Based on the information provided in the application, LACE has a
conflict of interest relating to the fourth class that would cause the
firm to be in violation of Exchange Act Rule 17g-5(c)(1) (17 CFR
240.17g-5(c)(1)) if it became registered. LACE requested that the
Commission grant LACE an exemption from the conflict of interest
prohibition in Exchange Act Rule 17g-5(c)(1). Simultaneously with this
Order, the Commission is issuing an Order (``Exemptive Order'')
granting LACE an exemption from Exchange Act Rule 17g-5(c)(1) until
January 1, 2009.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Release No. 34-57301 (February 11, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the application furnished by LACE is in
the form required by Exchange Act section 15E, Exchange Act Rule 17g-1
(17 CFR 240.17g-1), and Form NRSRO (17 CFR 249b.300) and contains the
information described in subparagraph (B) of section 15E(a)(1) of the
Exchange Act.
    Based on the application and Exemptive Order, the Commission finds
that the requirements of section 15E of the Exchange Act are satisfied.
    Accordingly,
    It is ordered, under paragraph (a)(2)(A) of section 15E of the
Exchange Act, that the registration of LACE Financial Corp. with the
Commission as an NRSRO under section 15E of the Exchange Act for the
classes of credit ratings described in clauses (i) through (v) of
section 3(a)(62)(B) of the Exchange Act is granted.

    By the Commission.

Secretary.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-65492; File No. SR-CBOE-2011-095]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Fees Schedule To Delete Erroneous
Language With Respect to the SPX Tier Appointment

October 6, 2011.
    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 October 3, 2011, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change
as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been
prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule to delete
erroneous language from the section discussing SPX Tier Appointment
fees. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal), at the Exchange's
Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule to delete
erroneous language from the section discussing SPX Tier Appointment
fees. The Fees Schedule currently states that the ``SPX Tier
Appointment fee will be assessed to any Market-Maker Trading Permit
Holder that * * * conducts any open outcry transactions in SPX or any
open outcry or electronic transaction in SPX Weeklys at any time during
a calendar month.'' This means that a Market-Maker Trading Permit
Holder that does not have an SPX tier appointment could still be
charged the SPX Tier Appointment fee for conducting any electronic
transaction in SPX Weeklys. However, because Market-Makers cannot trade
electronically in SPX without a tier appointment, it would be
impossible to assess this fee to a Market-Maker Trading Permit Holder
that does not have an SPX tier appointment but conducts any electronic
transaction in SPX Weeklys. Indeed, the Exchange has never charged the
SPX Tier Appointment fee in this circumstance (it would be impossible
to do so), and the inclusion of such possibility on the Fees Schedule
was an error. The Exchange therefore would like to delete such
statement from the Fees Schedule and alleviate any confusion.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act
\3\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \4\ of
the Act in particular, in that it is designed 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, by alleviating confusion regarding the impossible imposition
of the SPX Tier Appointment fee on a Market-Maker Trading Permit Holder
who does not hold an SPX tier appointment but conducts electronic
transactions in SPX Weeklys.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CBOE 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.

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

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

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

    The proposed rule change is designated by the Exchange as
establishing or changing a due, fee, or other charge, thereby
qualifying for effectiveness on filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act \5\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \6\ thereunder. At
any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. 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 Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-604 Variant) airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that certain
maintenance tasks for the horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA)
are inadequate. This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new airworthiness
limitations for the HSTA. We are proposing this AD to detect and
correct premature wear and cracking of the HSTA, which could result in
failure of the HSTA and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 18,
2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2014-30, dated September 5, 2014 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-
2B16 (CL-604 Variant) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    A revision has been made to the CL 604/605 Time Limits/
Maintenance Checks (TLMC) manual, to introduce new tasks for the
HSTA. Failure to comply with the TLMC tasks could lead to an unsafe
condition.
    This [Canadian] AD is issued to ensure that premature wear and
cracking of the affected components are detected and corrected.

    The unsafe condition is premature wear and cracking of the HSTA,
which could result in failure of the HSTA and consequent loss of
control of the airplane. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on
the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2015-8129.

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.
    This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance or
inspection program to incorporate new airworthiness limitations for the
HSTA.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier Inc. has issued the following service information.
     For Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-604 Variant) airplanes, serial
numbers 5301 through 5665 inclusive: Task 27-42-01-109, Restoration
(Overhaul) of the Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Actuator, Part No. 604-
92305-7 and Subs (Vendor Part No. 8454-3 and Subs); and Task 27-42-01-
111, Detailed Inspection of the Horizontal Trim Actuator (HSTA)
Secondary Load Path Indicator, Part No. 604-92305-7 and Subs (Vendor
Part No. 8454-3 and Subs); of Section 5-10-40, Certification
Maintenance Requirements, of Part 2, Airworthiness Limitations,
Revision 22, dated July 11, 2014, of the Bombardier Challenger 604 Time
Limits/Maintenance Checks Manual.
     For Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-604 Variant) airplanes, serial
numbers 5701 through 5962 inclusive: Task 27-42-01-109, Restoration
(Overhaul) of the Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Actuator, Part No. 604-
92305-7 and Subs (Vendor Part No. 8454-3 and Subs); and Task 27-42-01-
111, Detailed Inspection of the Horizontal Trim Actuator (HSTA)
Secondary Load Path Indicator, Part No. 604-92305-7 and Subs (Vendor
Part No. 8454-3 and Subs); of Section 5-10-40, Certification
Maintenance Requirements, of Part 2, Airworthiness Limitations,
Revision 10, dated July 11, 2014, of the Bombardier Challenger 605 Time
Limits/Maintenance Checks Manual.
    The service information describes procedures for revising the
maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new airworthiness
limitations for the HSTA. This service information is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section of this NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 78 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $6,630, or $85 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);
    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.
