Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-04-
13, which applied to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX
airplanes. AD 2023-04-13 required revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by a
determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations
are necessary. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2023-04-
13 and requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations; as specified in a European Union Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 16, 2024.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 16,
2024.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of May

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2023-04-13, Amendment 39-22360 (88 FR
20741, April 7, 2023) (AD 2023-04-13). AD 2023-04-13 applied to certain
Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes. AD 2023-04-13 required
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The
FAA issued AD 2023-04-13 to address reduced structural integrity of the
airplane. AD 2023-04-13 specifies that accomplishing the revision
required by paragraph (g) or (j) of that AD terminates the requirements
of paragraph (g)(1) of AD 2010-26-05, Amendment 39-16544 (75 FR 79952,
December 21, 2010), for Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000EX
airplanes. This AD therefore continues to allow that terminating
action.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 29, 2023 (88
FR 59476). The NPRM was prompted by AD 2023-0100, dated May 11, 2023,
issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of
the European Union (EASA AD 2023-0100) (also referred to as the MCAI).
The MCAI states that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations
have been developed.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to continue to require the actions in
AD 2023-04-13. The NPRM also proposed to require revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in EASA AD
2023-0100. The FAA is issuing this AD to address reduced structural
integrity of the airplane.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1721.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

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

Conclusion

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

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2023-0100 specifies new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits.
    This AD also requires EASA AD 2022-0136, dated July 6, 2022, which
the Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by
reference as of May 12, 2023 (88 FR 20741, April 7, 2023).
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 245 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2023-04-13 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. In the past, the agency has estimated that this action
takes 1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance
or inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-
airplane estimate.
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new actions
to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Corporation Turboshaft
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2017-18-14, which applies to certain Rolls-Royce Corporation (RRC) 250
model turboshaft engines. AD 2017-18-14 requires repetitive visual
inspections and fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPIs) of the 3rd-
stage turbine wheel and removal from service of the 4th-stage turbine
wheel. Since the FAA issued AD 2017-18-14, the manufacturer redesigned
the 3rd-stage turbine wheel. This proposed AD would require replacement
of the 3rd-stage and 4th-stage turbine wheels. This proposed AD would
also revise the applicability to add an additional turboshaft engine
model. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by February
28, 2022.

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

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-1071; Project Identifier
AD-2021-01055-E'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
the proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact we receive about this proposed AD.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to John
Tallarovic, Aviation Safety Engineer, Chicago ACO, FAA, 2300 E. Devon
Avenue, Des Plaines, IL 60018. Any commentary that the FAA receives
which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the
public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2017-18-14, Amendment 39-19023 (82 FR 42443,
September 8, 2017), (AD 2017-18-14), for RRC 250-C20, -C20B, -C20F, -
C20J, -C20R, -C20R/1, -C20R/2, -C20R/4, -C20W, -C300/A1, and -C300/B1
turboshaft engines with either a 3rd-stage turbine wheel, part number
(P/N) 23065818, or a 4th-stage turbine wheel, P/N 23055944 or
RR30000240, installed. AD 2017-18-14 was prompted by in-service turbine
blade failures that revealed the need for changes to the inspections of
a certain 3rd-stage turbine wheel and removal from service of a certain
4th-stage turbine wheel. AD 2017-18-14 requires repetitive visual
inspections and FPIs of the 3rd-stage turbine wheel and removal from
service of the 4th-stage turbine wheel. AD 2017-18-14 also revises the
applicability to remove all RRC turboprop engines and adds additional
turboshaft engines. The agency issued AD 2017-18-14 to prevent failure
of the 3rd-stage and 4th-stage turbine wheel blades, damage to the
engine, and damage to the aircraft.

Actions Since AD 2017-18-14 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2017-18-14, the manufacturer redesigned the
3rd-stage turbine wheel. The manufacturer has issued Rolls-Royce (RR)
Alert Commercial Engine Bulletin (CEB) CEB A-1428/CEB A-72-4111 (single
document), specifying procedures for replacement of the 3rd-stage
turbine wheel, P/N 23065818, with the new increased blade fillet 3rd-
stage turbine wheel, P/N M250-10473. Additionally, the FAA determined
that the RRC 250-C20C (T63-A-720) model turboshaft engine is also
susceptible to the unsafe condition. The FAA, therefore, added RRC 250-
C20C (T63-A-720) model turboshaft engines to the applicability of this
proposed AD. The FAA is proposing this AD to require the replacement of
3rd-stage and 4th-stage turbine wheels with redesigned 3rd-stage and
4th-stage turbine wheels.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

    The FAA also reviewed Rolls-Royce Alert Service Bulletin SB RR300-
A-72-024, Original Issue, dated September 13, 2017. This service
information describes procedures for replacing the 4th-stage turbine
wheel, P/N RR30000240, with the new increased fillet 4th-stage turbine
wheel, P/N RR30000494.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require removal and replacement of the 3rd-
stage and 4th-stage turbine wheels.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 3,041 3rd-stage stage turbine wheels and 3,769 4th-stage stage
turbine wheels installed on helicopters of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

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

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected individuals.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

A. CHC

    In the United States, hepatitis C virus infection causes 20 percent
of all cases of acute viral hepatitis and from 70 to 90 percent of all
cases of hepatocellular carcinoma. An estimated 3.2 million Americans
are chronically infected with hepatitis C virus. CHC currently is the
leading cause in the United States for liver transplantation, and
modeling suggests that without effective treatment interventions,
significant increases in CHC-associated liver morbidity and/or
mortality could result.
    According to treatment guidelines set forth by the American
Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, the current standard of
care (SOC) for treatment of CHC is a pegylated interferon administered
in combination with ribavirin (See Marc G. Ghany, et al., ``Diagnosis,
Management, and Treatment of Hepatitis C: An Update,'' AASLD Practice
Guidelines, (2009), available at http://www.aasld.org/
practiceguidelines/Pages/SortablePracticeGuidelinesAlpha.aspx).
Overall, following SOC treatment, sustained virologic response (SVR)
occurs in about 40 to 45 percent of patients with viral genotype 1,
with lower SVR rates for blacks and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
co-infected patients. Pegylated interferons and ribavirin are difficult
to tolerate and can cause significant adverse reactions that limit
treatment in many patients or result in substantial morbidity.
Therefore, new drugs are needed (and many are in development) to
increase SVR rates when added to an SOC, potentially to shorten the
duration of interferon-based regimens, or to replace components of SOC
regimens in patients who cannot tolerate interferons or ribavirin. New
drugs also are needed to construct regimens in patients with
decompensated cirrhosis and in patients undergoing liver transplant.
One option for these patients may be early access to these developing
drug products through the ``expanded access'' regulatory scheme.

B. Authority for Expanded Access

    FDA regulations provide for treatment INDs or other access
protocols for patients with serious or immediately life-threatening
illnesses who have unmet medical need. See the Expanded Access to
Investigational Drugs for Treatment Use Final Rule (Expanded Access
Rule) (74 FR 40900, August 13, 2009). Under these regulations, a
treatment IND, which permits patients access to unapproved drug
products under certain circumstances prior to final agency approval, is
possible when the following criteria have been met:
    (1) The drug is being investigated in a controlled clinical trial
under an IND designed to support a marketing application for the
expanded access use, or all clinical trials of the drug have been
completed;
    (2) The sponsor is actively pursuing marketing approval of the drug
for the expanded access use with due diligence; and
    (3) There is sufficient clinical evidence of safety and
effectiveness to support the treatment use (21 CFR 312.320(a)).
    Alternatively, individual patient INDs and treatment access
protocols for intermediate-sized populations are sometimes possible
earlier in drug development (21 CFR 312.310) (IND use for treatment of
individual patient by licensed physician)); 21 CFR 312.315 (IND use for
treatment of patient population smaller than that typical of treatment
IND). Proposed use under each of these three options also must meet the
criteria set forth in 21 CFR 312.305 (requirements for all expanded
access uses).

C. Expanded Access in CHC Context

    Some patients with CHC who have not responded to approved
treatments and/or who are at substantial risk of liver disease
progression may benefit from access to new therapeutic options before
approval through the Expanded Access Rule. On the other hand, receiving
preapproval treatment access via a treatment protocol may have
potential risks such as adverse reactions or the development of drug or
drug-class resistance.
    Historically, early access programs with antiretrovirals for the
treatment of HIV allowed many people to gain access to life-saving
drugs. For some individuals, however, early access to a drug resulted
in what amounted to sequential monotherapy and the emergence of
multidrug resistance. Similar to HIV treatment concerns, drug
resistance and drug-class resistance are concerns for DAAs to treat
CHC. Because treatment of CHC requires multiple agents to achieve
acceptable SVR rates and to reduce the emergence of drug resistance to
single agents or drug classes, treatment INDs that include two or more
investigational agents or that allow for co-enrollment in several
treatment IND programs are options to consider, particularly for
previous null responders or for patients who cannot take interferon-
based regimens. However, the use of multiple agents in the context of a
treatment IND adds to the complexity of the implementation and design
of treatment IND protocols. In light of the foregoing, FDA is
soliciting advice from the public on how treatment access protocols for
hepatitis C DAAs may best be designed.

II. Scope of the Public Hearing

    FDA is interested in obtaining public comment on the following
issues related to expanded access of DAAs for the treatment of CHC:
    1. What types of patients with CHC are most appropriate for
participation in DAA expanded access for CHC with regard to disease
stage, previous treatment, and other disease characteristics?
    2. Under what circumstances and in which populations would early
access to a single DAA be appropriate?
    3. Under what circumstances and in which populations would early
access to multiple DAAs be appropriate?
    4. How can pharmaceutical companies, government, academia, and
community physicians and activists collaborate to provide for the
treatment use of multiple new agents with the goal of maximizing
response and reducing the emergence of drug or multidrug resistance?
    5. What potential adverse reactions should be contemplated in
formulating DAA treatment IND use protocols?

    6. How can pharmaceutical companies, government, academia, and
community physicians and activists collaborate to provide for the
treatment use of multiple new agents with the goal of maximizing
response and reducing adverse reactions?
    7. In the course of developing DAAs for marketing, what types of
studies should be conducted to best address unmet medical needs for
patients with CHC including those with the greatest risk of progression
of liver disease and/or the lowest predicted virologic response rates?
Examples of studies that help to support clinical protocols or
treatment use protocols in populations of unmet medical need may
include renal and hepatic impairment studies and drug-drug interaction
studies with antiretrovirals.

III. Attendance and/or Participation in the Public Hearing

    The public hearing is free and seating will be on a first-come,
first-served basis. Attendees who do not wish to make an oral
presentation do not need to register.
    If you wish to make an oral presentation during the hearing, you
must register by submitting a written or electronic request by close of

IV. Notice of Hearing Under 21 CFR Part 15

    The Commissioner of Food and Drugs is announcing that the public
hearing will be held in accordance with part 15 (21 CFR part 15). The
hearing will be conducted by a presiding officer, who will be
accompanied by FDA senior management from the Office of the
Commissioner and the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
    Under Sec.  15.30(f), the hearing is informal and the rules of
evidence do not apply. No participant may interrupt the presentation of
another participant. Only the presiding officer and panel members may
question any person during or at the conclusion of each presentation
(21 CFR 15.30(e)). Public hearings under part 15 are subject to FDA's
policy and procedures for electronic media coverage of FDA's public
administrative proceedings (part 10 (21 CFR part 10), subpart C), (21
CFR 10.203(a)). Under Sec.  10.205, representatives of the electronic
media may be permitted, subject to certain limitations, to videotape,
film, or otherwise record FDA's public administrative proceedings,
including presentations by participants. The hearing will be
transcribed as stipulated in Sec.  15.30(b) (see section VI of this
document for more details). To the extent that the conditions for the
hearing as described in this document conflict with any provisions set
out in part 15, this notice acts as a waiver of those provisions as
specified in Sec.  15.30(h).

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0127; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-242-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 767 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 Model 767-200, -300, -300F, and -400ER series airplanes. This
proposed AD would require a detailed inspection of the entryway door
movable ceiling panel for pin migration at either end of the hinge
assembly and damage to the pin; a detailed inspection for correct crimp
at both ends and damage to hinge stock; a detailed inspection of the
ceiling area for any visible cosmetic and/or tie-rod chafing that could
be caused by a migrated hinge pin; and a detailed inspection for wire
damage and/or breakage; and other specified and corrective actions if
necessary. This proposed AD results from reports of fault messages
caused by improperly crimped hinge pins coming into contact with wires
and causing damage. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct
improperly crimped hinge pins, which could damage tie rods and wire
bundles, causing shorts in many systems, including the spar fuel shut
off valve, oxygen mask deployment, and burned wires, which could be an
ignition source in a hidden area of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 8, 2010.

Discussion

    We received a report that an operator experienced several fault
messages and circuit breakers tripping during a flight. An
investigation revealed that the hinge pin on the movable ceiling panel
of the entryway door on the forward left side had come into contact
with some wire bundles, causing damaged, broken, and burned wires,
resulting in system short circuits and circuit breakers tripping. There
were also reported instances of migrating hinge pins causing minor
cosmetic damage and tie-rod chafing. Boeing conducted a quality
assurance investigation and determined that the cause of the migrating
hinge pin resulted from the vendor not properly crimping the hinge
assembly stock in accordance with specifications. This condition, if
not corrected, could damage tie rods and wire bundles, causing shorts
in many systems, including the spar fuel shut off valve, oxygen mask
deployment, and burned wires, which could be an ignition source in a
hidden area of the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 767-25-0477, dated August
27, 2009. The service bulletin describes procedures for doing the
following detailed inspections:
     A detailed inspection for pin migration at either end of
the hinge assembly and damage to the pin.
     A detailed inspection for correct crimp at both ends and
damage to hinge stock.
     A detailed inspection of the ceiling area for any visible
cosmetic and/or tie-rod chafing that could be caused by a migrated
hinge pin.
     A detailed inspection for wire damage and/or breakage.

The service bulletin also describes other specified actions including
re-partmarking the moveable panel assemblies and the hinge if
necessary, and corrective actions, including crimping the hinge
assembly, repairing tie-rod chafing, repairing wire damage, and
replacing the hinge assembly.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in
the service information described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 273 airplanes of
U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 6 work-hours
per product to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate is
$85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $770 per product.
Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed AD to the
U.S. operators to be $349,440, or $1,280 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

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

    The CHX proposes to amend its Schedule of Fees and Assessments (the
``Fee Schedule''), effective November 2, 2012, to create a separate fee
and rebate structure for each derivative and non-derivative Tape A, B
and C security, with respect to single-sided order executions of 100 or
more shares. The text of this proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site at http://www.chx.com/rules/proposed_rules.htm and
in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 100 F Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20549.

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 CHX included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule changes and
discussed any comments it received regarding the proposal. The text of
these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV
below. The CHX has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C
below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Through this filing, the Exchange proposes to amend its Schedule of
Fees and Assessments (the ``Fee Schedule''), effective November 2,
2012, to amend Section E.1 of the Fee Schedule, which concerns single-
sided order executions of 100 or more shares, to establish fees and
rebates specific to each derivative and non-derivative Tape A, B and C
security type.
Current Section E.1
    On January 9, 2012, the Exchange adopted the current Fee Schedule
that incorporated, inter alia, a separate fee and rebate structure for
Derivative Securities Products (``DSPs'') \5\ and removed references to
Tape A, B and C securities throughout its Fee Schedule.\6\
Specifically, with respect to Section E.1, the Exchange eliminated the
distinction in the fee and rebate structure for Tape A, B and C
securities \7\ and replaced it with a structure based on DSPs and non-
DSPs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Per Section E.1 of the current Fee Schedule, ``Derivative
Securities Product'' is defined as any type of option, warrant,
hybrid securities product or any other security, other than a single
equity option or a security futures product, whose value is based,
in whole or in part, upon the performance of, or interest in, an
underlying instrument. This definition is drawn from Rule 19b-4(e).
See 17 CFR 240.19b-4(e).
    \6\ See Exchange Act. Release No. 66139 (January 11, 2012), 77
F.R. 2583 (January 18, 2012) (SR-CHX-2012-01).
    \7\ Tape A securities are those securities for which the New
York Stock Exchange, Inc. is the primary listing market. Tape C
securities are those securities for which the NASDAQ Stock Exchange,
Inc. is the primary listing center. Tape B securities are those
securities for which some other national securities exchange is the
primary listing market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to the current fees and rebates of Section E.1, for
transactions in DSPs priced greater than or equal to $1.00/share that
are executed in the Regular Trading Session, the current Fee Schedule
charges a fee of $0.003/share for removing liquidity and gives a rebate
of $0.0022/share for providing liquidity. For transactions in non-DSPs
priced equal to or greater than $1.00/share that are executed in the
Regular Trading Session, the current Fee Schedule charges a fee of
$0.003/share for removing liquidity, but gives no rebate for providing
liquidity. For transactions in all securities priced equal to or less
than $1.00/share that are executed in the Early and Late Trading
Sessions, the current Fee Schedule charges a fee of $0.003/share for
removing liquidity and gives a rebate of $0.0022/share for providing
liquidity. For transactions in all securities priced less than $1.00/
share, the current Fee Schedule charges a fee of 0.30% of trade value
for removing liquidity and gives a rebate of $0.00009/share for
providing liquidity.
Proposed Section E.1
    The Exchange now proposes to amend Section E.1 to reincorporate
references to Tape A, B and C securities, while maintaining the
distinction between DSPs and non-DSPs, so as to establish fees and
rebates specific to each derivative and non-derivative Tape A, B and C
security type and to maintain the current rebate and fee values, but
for two exceptions. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to distinguish
between ``Regular'' and ``Early and Late'' trading sessions. Each
trading session will be further divided into six categories, one for
each derivative and non-derivative Tape A, B and C security. Finally,
each one of the six security-types will be then divided into securities
priced greater than or equal to $1.00/share or priced less than $1.00/
share. At this point, each security-type will be assigned a specific
fee and rebate value, resulting in a total of twenty-four (24) distinct
sets of fees and rebates.
    With respect to the actual values of the fees and rebates of
proposed Section E.1, the Exchange proposes to mostly adopt the fee and
rebate values currently in Section E.1. Specifically, for transactions
in Tape A and B Non-DSP securities priced greater than or equal to
$1.00/share executed during the Regular Trading Session, the

Exchange proposes to maintain no liquidity providing rebate and a
$0.0030/share liquidity removing fee. Also, for transactions in Tapes A
and B DSP securities priced greater than or equal to $1.00/share
executed during the Regular Trading Session and all Tapes DSP and Non-
DSP securities priced greater than or equal to $1.00 executed during
the Early or Late Trading Session, the Exchange proposes to maintain a
liquidity providing rebate of $0.0020/share and a liquidity removing
fee of $0.0030/share. Furthermore, for transactions in all Tapes Non-
DSP securities priced less than $1.00/share executed in the Regular,
Early or Late Trading Sessions, the Exchange proposes to maintain a
liquidity providing rebate of $0.00009/share and a liquidity removing
fee of 0.30% of trade value.
    However, the Exchange proposes a new fee and rebate for Tape C DSP
and Non-DSP securities priced greater than or equal to $1.00/share
executed in the Regular Trading Session. Currently, for transactions in
Tape C non-DSP securities priced greater than or equal to $1.00/share
executed in the Regular Trading Session, there is no liquidity
providing rebate and a $0.0030/share liquidity removing fee. Moreover,
for transactions in Tape C DSP securities priced greater than or equal
to $1.00/share executed in the Regular Trading Session, there is
currently a liquidity providing rebate of $0.0020/share and a liquidity
removing fee of $0.0030/share. In lieu of these current values, the
Exchange now proposes a liquidity providing rebate of $0.00010/share
and a liquidity removing fee of $0.0006/share, for both of these
security types. The Exchange submits that the imposition of these new
fee and rebate values is necessary to promote order flow in Tape C
securities to the Exchange.
    Generally speaking, the purpose of this new fee and rebate
structure is to create greater granularity in the Exchange's billing
structure, which will in turn provide it with greater flexibility in
setting fees and rebates.\8\ This granularity will allow the Exchange
to make fine-tuned adjustments, through future proposed fee filings
pursuant to Rule 19b-4, to incentivize order flow in a specific group
of securities, such as in Tape C securities, without affecting other
fees or rebates associated with orders in other groups of securities
that the Exchange does not wish to impact. That is, such flexibility
will allow the Exchange to adapt to fast-paced changes in today's
orders marketplace and will, in turn, allow the Exchange to remain
competitive for such orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Exchange endeavors to incorporate this new security-type
specific fee structure throughout its Fee Schedule, to the extent
applicable, through proposed rule filings, such as this one and SR-
CHX-2012-15. SR-CHX-2012-15 proposes the adoption of a similar
security-type specific fee structure in the context of order
cancellation fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \9\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \10\ in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among members and other persons using any facility or
system which the Exchange operates or controls. Specifically, since the
proposed fee and rebate structure will apply to all single-sided orders
of 100 or more shares executed in the CHX Matching System, the Exchange
believes that it will equitably allocate the fees and rebates among
Participants in a non-discriminatory nature. In addition, because
quoting and trading activity is different among certain categories of
securities, such as DSPs, as well as those securities on different
Tapes, the Exchange believes that it is fair and reasonable to impose
specific fees and rebates for each of the six security-types in order
to better incent activity by Participants on the Exchange's trading
facilities in those particular categories. Furthermore, the proposed
values for the liquidity removing fees for each of the security types
are reasonable where such values will either remain the same as the
current fees or will decrease (in the case of transactions in Tape C
DSP and Non-DSP securities priced greater than or equal to $1.00/share
executed in the Regular Trading Session) and where the proposed fee
values are generally similar to the fees of other exchanges, such as
NASDAQ.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \11\ NASDAQ pricing provides for a flat fee of $0.0030/share to
remove liquidity for transactions in all Tape securities priced
greater than or equal to $1.00/share and a fee of 0.30% of total
dollar volume for transactions in securities priced less than $1.00/
share.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is 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.

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

    The proposed rule change is to take effect pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \12\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder \13\ because it establishes or changes a due, fee or other
charge applicable to the Exchange's members and non-members, which
renders the proposed rule change effective upon filing.

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
