OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

WASHINGTON, DC

Issued by the Department of Transportation on June 6, 2003

   NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- Undocketed

________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Joint Request of  Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) and United Air
Lines, Inc.  filed 6/5/03  for:

XX  Temporary re-allocation to FedEx of one weekly U.S. carrier
frequency, currently held by United, but which United has temporarily
suspended.

The Joint Request states that FedEx will use the frequency to augment
FedEx’s current all-cargo service to China by adding flights between
Shanghai and Anchorage on Saturdays or Sundays with MD-11 freighter
aircraft.  FedEx requests the authority immediately and requests that
the temporary authority continues through September 4, 2003.  The Joint
Request also states that FedEx acknowledges that the frequency is to be
operated on a temporary basis until United is able to recommence service
and that FedEx will not object later to United’s request to continue
service using this frequency.

Applicant reps:  Thomas F. Donaldson, Jr. (FedEx)<PHONE_NUMBER>

Jeffrey A. Manley (United)<PHONE_NUMBER>

DOT Analyst:  Linda Senese<PHONE_NUMBER>

D I S P O S I T I O N

XX  Granted (temporary reallocation of one United Air Lines China
frequency to FedEx)

The above action was taken:   June 6, 2003, and is effective for
services during the period

June 6, 2003,  through September 4, 2003

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		    Office of International Aviation

XX  The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement
between the United States and the People’s Republic of China.

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

________________________________________________________________________
___________

Remarks: On May 1, 2003, United temporarily suspended operations on nine
of its 21 U.S.-China frequencies.  By joint letter dated June 5, 2003,
United and FedEx requested that FedEx be allocated one of United’s
suspended nine frequencies through September 4, 2003.  United and FedEx
polled the other two carriers designated for U.S.-People’s Republic of
China and by a further letter dated June 5, 2003, informed the
Department that neither Northwest nor UPS objected to the joint request
of United and FedEx.  We, therefore, acted on the joint request without
awaiting completion of the answer period with the consent of all parties
served.

We determined, consistent with our traditional approach of favoring
maximum use of frequencies, that it was in the public interest to award
FedEx the one frequency requested.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; and (2) grant of the joint request was consistent with the
public interest.  To the extent not granted or denied, we denied all
other requests.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted
in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

An electronic version of this document is available on the World Wide
Web at:

http://dms.dot.gov//reports/reports_aviation.asp

 Under the U.S.-People’s Republic of China Transport Agreement, the
four U.S. designated carriers (United, Northwest, Federal Express, and
UPS) may operate a total of 54 weekly frequencies.  This Notice
temporarily authorizes FedEx to use 1 of United’s allocated
frequencies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 26, 2014, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish Class E airspace at
Eagles Nest Airport, West Creek, NJ, (79 FR 70480). Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9Y dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface within a 9.5-mile radius of Eagles Nest Airport, West
Creek, NJ. Controlled airspace is required to support the new RNAV
(GPS) standard instrument approach procedures for Eagles Nest Airport.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore, (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the
United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it establishes
controlled airspace at Eagles Nest Airport, West Creek, NJ.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by a design review, which found that the
burst pressure of the flexible hose used to vent oxygen from the high-
pressure relief valve of the oxygen cylinder overboard is lower than
the opening pressure of the high-pressure relief valve. This pressure
difference could cause the flexible hose to burst before it is able to
vent excess oxygen overboard. This proposed AD would require
replacement of flexible relief hoses for the crew oxygen bottles with
new metal design relief hoses. We are proposing this AD to prevent the
accumulation of excess oxygen in an enclosed space, which could, if
near a source of ignition, cause an uncontrolled oxygen-fed fire.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 27, 2016.

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

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2015-25, dated September 10, 2015 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-700-
1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    A design review found that the burst pressure of the flexible
hose used to vent oxygen from the high-pressure relief valve of the
oxygen cylinder overboard is lower than the opening pressure of the
high-pressure relief valve. This could cause the flexible hose to
burst before it is able to vent the excess oxygen overboard. If an
ignition source is present, the accumulation of oxygen in an
enclosed space may result in an uncontrolled oxygen-fed fire.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the replacement of the oxygen
[flexible] hose assembly with a new design oxygen [metal] hose
assembly.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http:/
/

www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
5459.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier, Inc. has issued the following service information:
     Service Bulletin 700-35-013, Revision 01, dated July 22,
2015;
     Service Bulletin 700-35-5001, Revision 01, dated July 22,
2015;
     Service Bulletin 700-35-6001, Revision 01, dated July 22,
2015;
     Service Bulletin 700-1A11-35-012, Revision 01, dated July
22, 2015.
    The service information describes procedures to replace the
flexible oxygen hoses with metal hoses. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business or by the means identified in
the ADDRESSES section.

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 73 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 3 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about
$14,483 per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $1,075,874, or $14,738 per
product.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA-2016-5459; Directorate Identifier
2015-NM-148-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by May 27, 2016.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-
700-1A11 airplanes, certificated in any category, having serial
numbers (S/Ns) 9002 through 9704 inclusive and 9998.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 35, Oxygen.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a design review, which found that the
burst pressure of the flexible hose used to vent oxygen from the
high-pressure relief valve of the oxygen cylinder overboard is lower
than the opening pressure of the high-pressure relief valve. This
pressure difference could cause the flexible hose to burst before it
is able to vent excess oxygen overboard. We are issuing this AD to
prevent the accumulation of excess oxygen in an enclosed space,
which could, if near a source of ignition, cause an uncontrolled
oxygen-fed fire.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Modification

    Within 2,500 flight hours or 42 months, whichever occurs first,
after the effective date of this AD, incorporate Bombardier Modsum
R700T400542 by replacing the oxygen flexible relief hoses for the
crew oxygen bottles with new metal design hoses, in accordance with
the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service
information specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of this
AD. Airplanes with serial numbers listed in table 1 of paragraph 1,
``Planning information,'' of the service information specified in
paragraphs (g)(2) and (g)(4) of this AD have incorporated Modsum
R700T400542 and meet the requirements of this paragraph.
    (1) For Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes having S/Ns 9002 through
9312 inclusive, 9314 through 9380 inclusive, and 9384 through 9429

inclusive, and 9998: Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-1A11-35-012,
Revision 01, dated July 22, 2015.
    (4) For Model BD-700-1A11 airplanes having S/Ns 9386, 9401, and
9445 through

9702 inclusive: Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-35-5001, Revision
01, dated July 22, 2015.

(h) Parts Installation Prohibition

    As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install
oxygen hoses in the low pressure/high pressure discharge system with
part numbers listed in the ``Used Part No.'' column of Section 3.A,
``Kit,'' of the applicable service information specified in
paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of this AD.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

 [Docket No. CP10-66-000]

Petrologistics Natural Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of Application

February 17, 2010.
    Take notice that on February 12, 2010, Petrologistics Natural Gas
Storage, LLC (Petrologistics), 4470 Bluebonnet Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA
70809, filed an application in Docket No. CP10-66-000, pursuant to
section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), to amend its Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity issued by the Commission on March 3,
2008. Specifically, Petrologistics requests authorization to install a
single electric submersible pump in Petrologistic's storage cavern and
increase the total, working, and base gas capacity of the cavern, all
as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the
Commission and open for

public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the Commission's
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the
docket number, excluding the last three digits, in the docket number
field to access the document. For assistance, call<PHONE_NUMBER> or
TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this application should be directed to
Allen Kirkley, Petrologistics Natural Gas Storage, LLC, 4470 Bluebonnet
Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA 70809,<PHONE_NUMBER> (phone).
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission's
public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the
Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    Comment Date: February 27, 2010.
