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

    The Exchange proposes to list and trade options on the iShares MSCI
Emerging Markets Index Fund (``Fund Options''). The Exchange has
designated this proposal as non-controversial and has requested that
the Commission waive both the five-day pre-filing requirement and the
30-day pre-operative waiting period contained in Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
under the Act.\5\ The text of the proposed rule change is available on
the Amex's Web site at http://www.amex.com, the Office of the

Secretary, Amex and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange seeks approval to list for trading on the Exchange
options on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (``Fund'').
Commentary .06 to Amex Rule 915 and Commentary .07 to Amex Rule 916,
respectively (the ``Listing Standards'') establish the Exchange's
initial listing and maintenance standards. The Listing Standards permit
the Exchange to list funds structured as open-end investment companies,
such as the Fund, without having to file for approval with the
Commission to list for trading options on such funds.\6\ The Exchange
submits that the Fund meets substantially all of the Listing Standard
requirements, and for the requirements that are not met, sufficient
mechanisms exist that would provide the Exchange with adequate
surveillance and regulatory information with respect to the Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Commentary .06 to Amex Rule 915 sets forth the initial
listing and maintenance standards for shares or other securities
(``Exchange-Traded Fund Shares'') that are principally traded on a
national securities exchange or through the facilities of a national
securities exchange and reported as a national market security, and
that represent an interest in a registered investment company
organized as an open-end management investment company, a unit
investment trust, or other similar entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund is an open-end investment company designed to hold a
portfolio of securities that tracks the MSCI Emerging

Markets Index (``Index'') \7\. The Fund employs a ``representative
sampling'' methodology to track the Index, which means that the Fund
invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index that have
a similar investment profile as the Index.\8\ Securities selected by
the Fund have aggregate investment characteristics (based on market
capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics
(such as return variability, earnings valuation and yield) and
liquidity measures similar to those of the Index. The Fund generally
invests at least 90% of its assets in the securities of the Index or in
American Depositary Receipts (``ADRs'') and Global Depositary Receipts
(``GDRs'') representing such securities. In order to improve portfolio
liquidity and give the Fund additional flexibility to comply with the
requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and other regulatory
requirements and to manage future corporate actions and index changes
in smaller markets, the Fund also has the authority to invest the
remainder of its assets in securities that are not included in the
Index or in ADRs and GDRs representing such securities. The Fund may
invest up to 10% of its assets in other MSCI index funds that seek to
track the performance of equity securities of constituent countries of
the Index. The Fund is not permitted to concentrate its investments
(i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in the stocks of a
particular industry or group of industries), except that, to the extent
practicable, the Fund will concentrate to approximately the same extent
that the Index concentrates in the stocks of such particular industry
or group of industries. The Exchange believes that these requirements
and policies prevent the Fund from being excessively weighted in any
single security or small group of securities and significantly reduce
concerns that trading in the Fund could become a surrogate for trading
in unregistered securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ As provided on the Web site of Morgan Stanley Capital
International Inc. (``MSCI'') (http://www.msci.com), which is the

entity that created and currently maintains the Index, the Index is
a capitalization-weighted index whose component securities are
adjusted for available float and must meet objective criteria for
inclusion in the Index. The Index aims to capture 85% of the
publicly available total market capitalization in each emerging
market included in the Index. As of March 31, 2006, the Index was
comprised of 828 constituents with the top five constituents
representing the following weights: 4.08%, 2.14%, 2.14%, 1.76%, and
1.72%. The Index is rebalanced quarterly, calculated in U.S. Dollars
on a real time basis, and disseminated every 60 seconds during
market trading hours.
    \8\ The Fund is comprised of 267 securities as of March 31,
2006. Samsung Electronics Co LTD GDR, a South Korean security, has
the greatest individual weight at 5.78%. The aggregate percentage
weighting of the top 5, 10, and 20 securities in the Fund are
18.36%, 28.24%, and 43.46%, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Shares of the Fund (``Fund Shares'') are issued in exchange for an
``in kind'' deposit of a specified portfolio of securities, together
with a cash payment, in minimum size aggregation size of 150,000 shares
(each, a ``Creation Unit''), as set forth in the Fund's prospectus. The
Fund issues and sells Fund Shares in Creation Unit sizes through a
principal underwriter on a continuous basis at the net asset value per
share next determined after an order to purchase Fund Shares and the
appropriate securities are received. Following issuance, Fund Shares
are traded on an exchange like other equity securities, and equity
trading rules apply. Likewise, redemption of Fund Shares is made in
Creation Unit size and ``in kind,'' with a portfolio of securities and
cash exchanged for Fund Shares that have been tendered for redemption.
    The Exchange notes that the maintenance listing standards set forth
in Commentary .07 to Amex Rule 916 for open-end investment companies do
not include criteria based on either the number of shares or other
units outstanding or on their trading volume. The absence of such
criteria is justified on the ground that since it should always be
possible to create additional shares or other interests in open-end
investment companies at their net asset value by making an in-kind
deposit of the securities that comprise the underlying index or
portfolio, there is no limit on the available supply of such shares or
interests. This, in turn, should make it highly unlikely that the
market for listed, open-end investment company shares could be capable
of manipulation, since whenever the market price for such shares
departs from net asset value, arbitrage will occur. Similarly, since
the Fund meets all of the requirements of the Listing Standards except
as described below, the Exchange believes that the same analysis
applies to the Fund.
    The Exchange has reviewed the Fund and determined that it satisfies
the Listing Standards except for the requirement set forth in
Commentary .06(b)(i) to Amex Rule 915, which requires the Fund to meet
the following condition: ``any non-U.S. component stocks in the index
or portfolio on which the Fund Shares are based that are not subject to
comprehensive surveillance agreements do not in the aggregate represent
more than 50% of the weight of the index or portfolio.'' The Exchange
currently has in place surveillance agreements with foreign exchanges
that cover 46.72% of the securities in the Fund. One of the foreign
exchanges on which component securities of the Fund are traded and with
which the Exchange does not have a surveillance agreement is the Bolsa
Mexicana de Valores (``Bolsa''). The percentage of the weight of the
Fund represented by these securities is 7.42%.
    The Exchange understands that the Commission has been willing to
allow an exchange to rely on a memorandum of understanding entered into
between regulators in the event that the exchanges themselves cannot
enter into a surveillance agreement. The Exchange previously attempted
to enter into a surveillance agreement with Bolsa as part of seeking
approval to list and trade options on the Mexico Index \9\.
Additionally, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``CBOE'') also previously attempted to enter into a surveillance
agreement with Bolsa at or about the time when the CBOE sought approval
to list for trading options on the CBOE Mexico 30 Index in 1995, which
was comprised of stocks trading on Bolsa.\10\ Since, in both instances,
Bolsa was unable to provide a surveillance agreement, the Commission
previously allowed the Exchange and the CBOE to rely on the memorandum
of understanding executed by the Commission and the CNBV, dated as of
October 18, 1990 (``MOU''). The Commission noted in the respective
Approval Orders that in cases where it would be impossible to secure an
agreement, the Commission relied in the past on surveillance sharing
agreements between the relevant regulators. The Commission further
noted in the respective Approval Orders that pursuant to the terms of
the MOU, it was the Commission's understanding that both the Commission
and the CNBV could acquire information from and provide information to
the other, similar to that which would be required in a surveillance
sharing agreement between exchanges, and therefore, should the Exchange
or the CBOE need information on Mexican trading in the component
securities of the Mexico Index or the CBOE Mexico 30 Index, the
Commission could request such information from the CNBV under the
MOU.\11\ The Exchange

has attempted to contact Bolsa with a request to enter into a
surveillance agreement. The Exchange is uncertain whether the same
barriers that prevented Bolsa from previously entering into an
information sharing agreement still exist today. In this regard, the
Exchange requests permission to rely on the MOU entered into between
the Commission and the CNBV for purposes of satisfying its surveillance
and regulatory responsibilities for the component securities in the
Fund that trade on Bolsa until the Exchange is able to secure a
surveillance agreement with Bolsa. The Exchange believes this request
is reasonable in that the Commission has already acknowledged that the
MOU permits both the Commission and the CNBV to acquire information
from and provide information to the other, similar to that which would
be required in a surveillance sharing agreement between exchanges. The
Commission's approval of this request would otherwise render the Fund
compliant with all of the Listing Standards.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34500 (August 8,
1994), 59 FR 41534 (August 12, 1994).
    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 36415 (October 25,
1995), 60 FR 55620 (November 1, 1995).
    \11\ The Exchange also states that the Commission noted if
securing an information sharing agreement is not possible, an
exchange should contact the Commission prior to listing a new
derivative securities product. In such case, the Commission may
determine instead that it is appropriate to rely on a memorandum of
understanding between the Commission and the foreign regulator. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 40761 (December 8, 1998), 63 FR
70952 (December 22, 1998).
    \12\ The Exchange notes that the component securities of the
Fund change periodically. Therefore, the Exchange may in fact have
in place surveillance agreements that would otherwise cover the
percent weighting requirements set forth in the Listing Standards
for securities not trading on Bolsa. In this event, the Fund would
satisfy all of the Listing Standards and reliance on an approval
order for the Fund would be unnecessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange will list the Fund Options subject to a sixty-day
pilot program and rely on the MOU entered into between the Commission
and the CNBV for purposes of satisfying its surveillance and regulatory
responsibilities until the Exchange is able to secure a surveillance
agreement with Bolsa. During this period, the Exchange agrees to use
its best efforts to obtain a comprehensive surveillance agreement with
Bolsa, which shall reflect the following: (i) Express language
addressing market trading activity, clearing activity, and customer
identity; (ii) Bolsa's reasonable ability to obtain access to and
produce requested information; and (iii) based on the comprehensive
surveillance agreement and other information provided by Bolsa, the
absence of existing rules, laws, or practices that would impede the
Exchange from foreign information relating to market activity, clearing
activity, or customer identity, or, in the event such rules, laws, or
practices exist, they would not materially impede the production of
customer or other information. The Exchange also represents that it
will regularly update the Commission on the status of its negotiations
with Bolsa.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change 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 prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and 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; and is not designed to
permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or
dealers, or to regulate by virtue of any authority conferred by the Act
matters not related to the purpose of the Act or the administration of
the Exchange.

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

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 with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the proposed rule change: (i) Does not significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) does not
impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) does not become
operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing, or such shorter
time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interests, the proposed rule change has
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \15\
and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Amex requests that the Commission waive both the five-day pre-
filing requirement and the 30-day pre-operative period specified in
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii).\17\ The Commission is exercising its authority
to waive the five-day pre-filing notice requirement and believes that
waiving the 30-day pre-operative period is consistent with the
protection of investors and public interest. The Exchange has agreed to
use its best efforts to obtain a comprehensive surveillance agreement
with the Bolsa during a sixty-day pilot period in which the Exchange
will rely on the MOU with respect to surveillance of Fund components
trading on Bolsa. The Exchange also represents that it will regularly
update the Commission on the status of its negotiations with Bolsa. The
Commission notes that Amex currently has in place surveillance
agreements with foreign exchanges that cover 46.72% of the securities
in the Fund and that the Index upon which the Fund is based appears to
be a broad-based index. For these reasons, the Commission designates
the proposal to be effective and operative upon filing with the
Commission.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \18\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
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 may summarily abrogate 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.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Section 19(b)(3)(C) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2022-0056]

Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or
Modification of a Railroad Signal System

    Under part 235 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice that by
letters received on May 10, 2023, and June 8, 2023, the Buffalo &
Pittsburgh Railroad, Inc. (BPRR) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) seeking approval to discontinue or modify a signal
system. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2022-0056.
    Specifically, BPRR requests to discontinue the centralized traffic
control (CTC) system on the BPRR mainline in three locations: (1)
between the insulated joints at mileposts (MPs) 141.9 and 149.00, (2)
between MP 162.10 and 169.80, and (3) between MP 199.9 and 206.28.
Several block signals, power switches, and approach signals would be
removed from service, and ``power switches will be replaced with
powered DTMF switches with simulated OS locking circuits.'' In support
of its application, BPRR states that ``the CTC system is no longer
essential for the safe movement of traffic as current train activity is
reduced,'' and removal of the CTC system will improve ``efficient
operations.'' BPRR also states that ``there are no opposing train
movements or fleeted trains with following moves.''
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
    Communications received by October 10, 2023 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic
form of any written communications and comments received into any of
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or
signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to
better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit,
including any personal information the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records notice (DOT/
ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/privacy. See also https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice for the

I had just left a comment about my experience using ecigs and the vast benefits of it. I did not make a note of that receipt number and forgot to request an extension for the comment period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-year period if it
finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 41 individuals who have requested renewal of
their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 41 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:
Henry W. Adams
Timothy S. Ballard
Larry W. Barnes
Delbert R. Bays
Timothy D. Carle
Donald O. Clopton
Ronald W. Garner
Paul A. Gregerson
Benjamin P. Hall

Christopher G. Strand
Charles R. Sylvester
Wade D. Taylor
David Vallier
Roy F. Varnado, Jr.
Michael J. Welle
Patricia A. White
Rick A. Young
    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual has a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and
(b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is otherwise
physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each individual
provides a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the
medical examiner at the time of the annual medical examination; and (3)
that each individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification
to the employer for retention in the driver's qualification file and
retains a copy of the certification on his/her person while driving for
presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement
official. Each exemption will be valid for two years unless rescinded
earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The person
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315.

Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 41 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (63 FR 30285; 63 FR

54519; 65 FR 20245; 65 FR 57230; 67 FR 57266; 69 FR 52741; 71 FR 66217;
73 FR 74565; 65 FR 33406; 69 FR 64810; 65 FR 45817; 65 FR 77066; 67 FR
71610; 65 FR 77069; 69 FR 33997; 69 FR 61292; 71 FR 55820; 73 FR 65009;
69 FR 53493; 69 FR 62741; 71 FR 62147; 73 FR 60398; 69 FR 62742; 71 FR
62148; 73 FR 61925; 73 FR 35194; 73 FR 48273; 73 FR 38497; 73 FR 51689;
73 FR 63047; 73 FR 61922). Each of these 41 applicants has requested
renewal of the exemption and has submitted evidence showing that the
vision in the better eye continues to meet the standard specified at 49
CFR 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision impairment is stable. In
addition, a review of each record of safety while driving with the
respective vision deficiencies over the past two years indicates each
applicant continues to meet the vision exemption standards. These
factors provide an adequate basis for predicting each driver's ability
to continue to drive safely in interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA
concludes that extending the exemption for each renewal applicant for a
period of two years is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to
that existing without the exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by January 13, 2011.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 41 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was made on the merits of each
case and made only after careful consideration of the comments received
to its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 737-500 series airplanes. This AD was prompted
by reports of chem-mill step cracking on the aft lower lobe fuselage
skins. This AD requires inspections of the fuselage skin at the chem-
mill steps, and repair if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct cracking on the aft lower lobe fuselage skins, which could
result in decompression of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective September 18, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of September 18,
2012.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 17, 2012 (77 FR
22686). That NPRM proposed to require inspections of the fuselage skin
at the chem-mill steps, and repair if necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We have considered the comment received. Boeing supports the
NPRM (77 FR 22686, April 17, 2012).

Clarification of Terms in the Relevant Service Information Section of
the NPRM (77 FR 22686, April 17, 2012)

    The Relevant Service Information section of the NPRM (77 FR 22686,
April 17, 2012) specified that ``Related investigative actions'' and
``corrective actions'' are those actions specified in the service
information that are necessary to address the identified unsafe
condition. Those ``necessary'' actions are applicable to particular
configurations and conditions. ``Related investigative actions'' are
those actions that are identified as follow-on actions that are: (1)
Related to the required action, and (2) are on-condition actions that
further investigate the nature of any condition found. Related
investigative actions could include, for example, inspections and
operational tests. ``Corrective actions'' are those actions that are
on-condition actions that correct or address any condition found.
Corrective actions could include, for example, repairs, removal and
replacement, and modifications.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD as proposed--with minor editorial changes. We have determined that
these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 22686, April 17, 2012) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 22686, April 17, 2012).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 91 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this 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

    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.

 BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


TN0064041  METRO NASHVILLE AIRPORT AUTHORITY Previous Permit   Issued: May 31, 1989   COD limit: 30.0 mg/ l, 1/ Month sampling frequency @ Outfalls 002, 003, 004, & 005   Outfalls 002, 003, 004, & 005 discharge from oil/ water separators   COD limited " according to state maximum effluent limitations ( one to one ratio with biochemical oxygen demand)."

August, 1989  August, 1990 In violation of pH, Oil & Grease, TSS, & COD a total of 67 times August, 1989   In stream biological survey conducted by NFO of Sims Branch   Conclusion stated impairment of Sims Branch aquatic community caused by discharges from MNAA Agreed Order  September 18, 1991   Resolved appeal of Commissioner's Order issued on January 8, 1991   Provisions included: 1. Completion of a treatability study previously initiated by MNAA and submitted to DWPC for approval. 2. Completion of the design of a collection and treatment system and submitted to DWPC for approval. 3. Construction of the approved treatment system design by December 31, 1992. 4. Adoption of interim measures by MNAA to improve water quality until the treatment system is completed. 5. Full compliance by MNAA by March 1, 1993. ( DWPC has approved a request to extend the compliance date to August 1, 1995.)   Subsequent DMRs showed continued high levels of TSS & COD and occasional low pH New Permit   Issued April 28, 1995   Discharge from treatment system through Outfall 002   Discussions prior to issuance with MNAA & Ogden concerned the proper BOD: COD ratio rather than the 30 mg/ l BOD limit mentioned in the previous permit rationale  Original draft had COD limit of 30 mg/ l ( same as previous permit)  Ogden performed some calculations based on the treatability study for selection of the treatment system and recommended a COD limit of 315 mg/ l  Limit in draft permit changed to BOD limit of 30 mg/ l  Ogden suggested report only for BOD & COD for one year, then modify permit based on this data to reflect COD limit equivalent to BOD limit of 30 mg/ l. DWPC proposed basically the same arrangement except COD limit of 30 mg/ l while data was taken.   Permit issued with BOD limit: 30.0 mg/ l, 1/ Month sampling frequency @ Outfall 002 Appeal of New Permit   Appealed on May 30, 1995.   Appealed limits for pH, TSS, COD, & DO at Outfall 002.

Meeting on July 26, 1995   Meeting requested to resolve issues pertaining to permit appeal.   Ogden & Phil Simmons mentioned that a stream model was being constructed to " calculate" a water quality BOD/ COD limit.   DWPC raised several issues that any model should consider.

Meeting on August 21, 1995   Meeting with Jerry Schumake ( Ogden) and Phil Simmons to discuss initial Ogden/ PS stream model submitted to Sherry Wang for critique.   Several deficiencies were found in the initial model:  stream background for temperature and DO derived from insufficient data.  CBOD instream removal rate derived from treatment system treatability study data not appropriate.  If a model was going to be used, DWPC recommended that: sufficient stream data be taken at appropriate locations to calculate a CBOD decay rate, stream segments modeled should include Mill Creek, model runs conducted at average summer temperature and DO conditions.

DWPC Letter of November 2, 1995  Proposed Permit Modification   Limits at Outfall 002 for Flow, pH, BOD5, TSS, DO, Oil & Grease, Settleable Solids to be " Report Only" for two years.   MNAA to report above parameters in influent to treatment system for two years   In order to demonstrate that water quality of the receiving stream is adequate, MNAA to conduct biosurveys and DO profiling of Sims Branch in each year of two year period. ( If a water quality problem was revealed by biosurveys, MNAA would propose solution within 90 days).   At the end of the two year period, modify permit to incorporate appropriate limits for Outfall 002 based on the most stringent of:  Water quality limits based a stream model consistent with DO profile data and Sherry Wang's recommendations.  Treatability limit based on treatment system performance data. MNAA Letter of December 6, 1995  Response to Proposed Permit Modification   Agree to 30 month ( instead of 24 months) compliance schedule for effluent from Outfall 002 from date of first discharge from treatment system.   Agree to collection of treatment system influent data.   Agree to DO profiling of receiving streams.   Disagree with requirement for biosurveys of receiving stream. MNAA/ Ogden feels that the deicing fluids used at the airport are not toxic ( based on published test data) and, therefore, biosurveys to assess toxicity are not needed.   Agree to permit modification to incorporate limits based on water quality data ( stream model). Letter implies that limits " more stringent than needed are not appropriate".

NFO Comments on MNAA Letter of December 6, 1995   30 months is acceptable if it is from permit modification issuance date.   Deletion of biosurveys is not acceptable:  Biosurveys will address DO concerns as well as toxicity issues.  DO profile data taken to construct stream model will not be available until 30 months after modified permit issued.   Most stringent ( water quality or treatability) should be used.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2011-13-
07 that applies to all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. AD
2011-13-07 requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to
include a procedure to power off a radio-altimeter or revert to the
correct radio-altimeter output. Since we issued AD 2011-13-07, an
analysis showed that AFM procedures could be simplified. This proposed
AD would require revising the AFM to include a simpler procedure to
revert to the correct radio-altimeter output. We are proposing this AD
to ensure that the flightcrew has procedures in the event of a radio-
altimeter lock-up, which inhibits the display of warnings along with
certain abnormal conditions, during the switch into landing mode during
altitude cruise. If not corrected, this could result in the flightcrew
being unaware of possible system failures that require immediate action
by the flightcrew, leading to possible loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 10,
2014.

Discussion

    On June 14, 2011, we issued AD 2011-13-07, Amendment 39-16730 (76
FR 36283, June 22, 2011). AD 2011-13-07 requires actions intended to
address an unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2011-13-07, Amendment 39-16730 (76 FR 36283,
June 22, 2011), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is
the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community,
has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2009-0208R2, dated May 22, 2012
(referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Several occurrences of untimely radio-altimeter lock-up have
been reported, where the failed radio-altimeter (RA) indicated a
negative distance to the ground despite the aircraft was flying at
medium or high altitude.
    A locked RA 1 leads to untimely inhibition of warnings
that could be displayed along with certain abnormal conditions while
the avionic system switches into landing mode during altitude
cruise.
    This condition, if not corrected, may cause the flight crew to
be unaware of possible system failures that could require immediate
actions, which could ultimately lead to loss of control of the
aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, Dassault Aviation developed an
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) operational procedure that, in case of
RA 1 lock-up, allows the crew to restore the system warning
performance by depowering the RA 1. EASA issued AD 2009-
0208 [http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2009-0208R3] to require
application of that new abnormal procedure when RA 1 lock-
up occurs. That EASA AD also prohibited dispatch of the aeroplane
with any radio-altimeter inoperative.
    Since issuance of EASA AD 2009-0208, Dassault Aviation developed
Easy avionics load 10 which is embodied through Dassault Aviation
production modification M0566 or in-service through Service Bulletin
(SB) Falcon 7X n[deg]100. This modification provides new features to
display a ``RA miscompare'' flag on both Primary Display Units (PDU)
and allows a commanded system reversion to the correct RA output.
    Prompted by this modification, EASA issued AD 2009-0208R1 [
http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2009-0208R3], to allow not deactivating
RA 1 in case lock-up conditions occurred in flight, for
aeroplanes on which M0566 or SB Falcon 7X n[deg]100 was embodied.

    Since issuance of EASA AD 2009-0208R1, further analysis shows
that, for aeroplanes with M0566 applied in production, or SB Falcon
7X N[deg]100 applied in service, the RA2 lock-up occurrence
should be addressed through a commanded system reversion, now only
contained in a simplified Falcon 7X AFM procedure 3-140-70A.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD revises EASA AD
2009-0208R1 to reduce the requirement to amend the AFM by deleting
the reference to procedure 3-140-65B. In addition, Dassault Aviation
have confirmed that all Falcon 7X have been or are being modified
with Mod M0566 applied in production, or SB Falcon 7X n[deg]100
applied in service. For this reason, paragraph (1) of this [EASA] AD
has been deleted. Finally, many editorial changes have been made to
align the writing of the AD with the current writing standards.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Dassault has issued Falcon 7X Airplane Flight Manual, DGT 105608,
Revision 15, dated January 30, 2012. The actions described in this
service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

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

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 35 products 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 proposed 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

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:

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 removing airworthiness directive (AD)
2011-13-07, Amendment 39-16730 (76 FR 36283, June 22, 2011), and adding
the following new AD:

Dassault Aviation: Docket No. FAA-2013-1032; Directorate Identifier
2012-NM-121-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by February 10, 2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2011-13-07, Amendment 39-16730 (76 FR
36283, June 22, 2011).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes,
certificated in any category, all serial numbers.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 34, Navigation.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of untimely radio-altimeter
lock-ups, where the failed radio-altimeter indicated a negative
distance to the ground when the airplane was flying at medium or
high altitude. We are issuing this AD to ensure that the flightcrew
has procedures in the event of a radio-altimeter lock-up, which
inhibits the display of warnings along with certain abnormal
conditions, during the switch into landing mode during altitude
cruise. If not corrected, this could result in the flightcrew being
unaware of possible system failures that require immediate action by
the flightcrew, leading to possible loss of control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD
performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions
have already been done.

(g) Retained Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD
2011-13-07, Amendment 39-16730 (76 FR 36283, June 22, 2011), with
editorial changes. For airplanes on which M0566 or Dassault Service
Bulletin Falcon 7X-100 has been accomplished: Within 14 days after
July 27, 2011 (the effective date of AD 2011-13-07), revise the
Limitations Section of the Dassault Falcon 7X AFM to include the
statement in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD. This may be done
by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM. When a statement
identical to that in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD has been
included in the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions
may be inserted into the AFM, and the copy of this AD may be removed
from the AFM. Accomplishing the revision required by paragraph (h)
of this AD terminates the requirements of this paragraph, and after
the revision required by paragraph (h) of this AD has been done,
before further flight, remove the revision required by this
paragraph.

                  Figure 1 to Paragraph (g) of This AD
------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If radio-altimeter 1 lock-up conditions occur in flight, revert
 to the correct radio-altimeter output, in accordance with the
 instructions of Falcon 7X AFM procedure 3-140-65B and 3-140-70A.
Dispatch of the airplane with any radio-altimeter inoperative is
 prohibited.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(h) New Requirement of This AD: Revision of Airplane Flight Manual

    For airplanes on which M0566 or Dassault Service Bulletin Falcon
7X-100 has been accomplished: Within 30 days after the effective
date of this AD, do the action specified in paragraphs (h)(1) and
(h)(2) of this AD.
    (1) Revise the Limitations Section of the Dassault Falcon 7X AFM
to include the statement in figure 2 to paragraph (h) of this AD.
This may be done by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM. Doing
this revision terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) of this
AD and the revision required by paragraph (g) of this AD must be
removed. When a statement identical to that in figure 2 to paragraph
(h) of this AD has been included in the general revisions of the
AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into the AFM, and the
copy of this AD may be removed from the AFM.

                  Figure 2 to Paragraph (h) of This AD
------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If radio-altimeter miscompare indication occurs in flight, revert to the
 correct radio-altimeter output, in accordance with the instructions of
 Falcon 7X AFM procedure 3-140-70A.
Dispatch of the airplane with any radio-altimeter inoperative is
 prohibited.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) Revise the Abnormal Procedures section to include procedure
3-140-70A of the Dassault Falcon 7X Airplane Flight Manual,
DGT105608, Revision 15, dated January 30, 2012, into the AFM.

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR
39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information

Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal
inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the
local flight standards district office/certificate holding district
office. The AMOC approval letter must specifically reference this
AD. AMOCs approved previously in accordance with AD 2011-13-07,
Amendment 39-16730 (76 FR 36283, June 22, 2011), are approved as
alternative methods of compliance with this AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer, use these actions if they
are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered FAA-approved if
they were approved by the State of Design Authority (or its
delegated agent, or by the DAH with a State of Design Authority's
design organization approval). For a repair method to be approved,
the repair approval must specifically refer to this AD. You are
required to ensure the product is airworthy before it is returned to
service.
