[Docket No. NHTSA-2007-28874]

Final Theft Data; Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Publication of final theft data.

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

SUMMARY: This document publishes the final data on thefts of model year
(MY) 2005 passenger motor vehicles that occurred in calendar year (CY)
2005. The final 2005 theft data indicate an increase in the vehicle
theft rate experienced in CY/MY 2005. The final theft rate for MY 2005
passenger vehicles stolen in calendar year 2005 (1.85 thefts per
thousand vehicles) increased by 1.1 percent from the theft rate for CY/
MY 2004 (1.83 thefts per thousand vehicles) when compared to the theft
rate experienced in CY/MY 2004. As explained in this notice, NHTSA is
not concerned at this time about this minor increase. Publication of
these data fulfills NHTSA's statutory obligation to periodically obtain
accurate and timely theft data and publish the information for review
and comment.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Carlita Ballard, Office of
International Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 1200
New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. Ms. Ballard's telephone
number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Her fax number is<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA administers a program for reducing
motor vehicle theft. The central feature of this program is the Federal
Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49 CFR part 541. The standard
specifies performance requirements for inscribing and affixing vehicle
identification numbers (VINs) onto certain major original equipment and
replacement parts of high-theft lines of passenger motor vehicles.
    The agency is required by 49 U.S.C. 33104(b)(4) to periodically
obtain, from the most reliable source, accurate and timely theft data
and publish the data for review and comment. To fulfill this statutory
mandate, NHTSA has published theft data annually beginning with MYs
1983/84. Continuing to fulfill the section 33104(b)(4) mandate, this
document reports the final theft data for CY 2005, the most recent
calendar year for which data are available.
    In calculating the 2005 theft rates, NHTSA followed the same
procedures it used in calculating the MY 2004 theft rates. (For 2004
theft data calculations, see 71 FR 59400, October 10, 2006). As in all
previous reports, NHTSA's data were based on information provided to
NHTSA by the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. The NCIC is a government system that receives
vehicle theft information from nearly 23,000 criminal justice agencies
and other law enforcement authorities throughout the United States. The
NCIC data also include reported thefts of self-insured and uninsured
vehicles, not all of which are reported to other data sources.
    The 2005 theft rate for each vehicle line was calculated by
dividing the number of reported thefts of MY 2005 vehicles of that line
stolen during calendar year 2005 by the total number of vehicles in
that line manufactured for MY 2005, as reported to the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
    The final 2005 theft data show a slight increase in the vehicle
theft rate when compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 2004.
The final theft rate for MY 2005 passenger vehicles stolen in calendar
year 2005 increased to 1.85 thefts per thousand vehicles produced, an
increase of 1.1 percent from the rate of 1.83 thefts per thousand
vehicles experienced by MY 2004 vehicles in CY 2004. NHTSA is not
currently concerned with this minor increase in the theft rate. While
NHTSA has seen an overall downward trend in theft rates since CY 1993,
there have been periods of increase from one year to the next. This
increase is lower than any seen in this period. Therefore, NHTSA does
not expect that it indicates the beginning of an upward trend for theft
rates.
    For MY 2005 vehicles, out of a total of 233 vehicle lines, 24 lines
had a theft rate higher than 3.5826 per thousand vehicles, the
established median theft rate for MYs 1990/1991. (See 59 FR 12400,
March 16, 1994). Of the 24 vehicle lines with a theft rate higher than
3.5826, 21 are passenger car lines, two are multipurpose passenger
vehicle lines, and one is a light-duty truck line.

On Monday, October 15, 2007, NHTSA published the preliminary theft
rates for CY 2005 passenger motor vehicles in the Federal Register (72
FR 58268). The agency tentatively ranked each of the MY 2005 vehicle
lines in descending order of theft rate. The public was requested to
comment on the accuracy of the data and to provide final production
figures for individual vehicle lines. The agency received no comments
in the public docket.
    However, subsequent to publishing the MY 2005 preliminary theft
rate notice (72 FR 58268), the agency was informed that corrections to
the original production figures for some Suzuki vehicle lines had been
reported to EPA. The agency has revised the MY 2005 final theft data to
reflect those corrections. Specifically, as a result of the new
production figures provided the Suzuki Aerio which ranked No. 2 with a
theft rate of 6.5232, is still ranked No. 2 with a new theft rate of
5.9386; the Suzuki Forenza which ranked No. 19 with a theft rate of
3.8638, is now ranked No. 20 with a new theft rate of 3.7157; the
Suzuki Vitara/Grand Vitara which ranked No. 28 with a theft rate of
3.3005, is now ranked No. 29 with a new theft rate of 3.2630; and the
Suzuki Verona which ranked No. 32 with a theft rate of 3.1043, is still
ranked No. 32 with a new theft rate of 3.1039.
    The following list represents NHTSA's final calculation of theft
rates for all 2005 passenger motor vehicle lines. This list is intended
to inform the public of calendar year 2005 motor vehicle thefts of
model year 2005 vehicles and does not have any effect on the
obligations of regulated parties under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 331, Theft
Prevention.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

 [Docket No. ER08-784-000]

West Valley Leasing Company, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

April 30, 2008.
    West Valley Leasing Company, LLC (West Valley) filed an application
for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The
proposed market-based rate tariff provides for the sale of energy,
capacity and ancillary services at market-based rates. West Valley also
requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular,
West Valley requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under
18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of
liability by West Valley.
    On April 30, 2008, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director,
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the requests
for blanket approval under Part 34 (Director's Order). The Director's
Order also stated that the Commission would publish a separate notice
in the Federal Register establishing a period of time for the filing of
protests. Accordingly, any person desiring to be heard concerning the
blanket approvals of issuances of securities or assumptions of
liability by West Valley should file a protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 (2004). The Commission
encourages the electronic submission of protests using the FERC Online
link at http://www.ferc.gov.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing protests is May
30, 2008.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket
approvals by the deadline above, West Valley is authorized to issue
securities and assume obligations or liabilities as a guarantor,
indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security of another
person; provided that such issuance or assumption is for some lawful
object within the corporate purposes of West Valley, compatible with
the public interest, and is reasonably necessary or appropriate for
such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by
continued approvals of West Valley's issuance of securities or
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62901; File No. SR-BATS-2010-024]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Adopt
BATS Rule 2.12, Entitled ``BATS Trading, Inc. as Inbound Router'' and
To Make Related Changes

September 13, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''), \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on September 9, 2010, BATS Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``BATS'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange
has designated this proposal as a ``non-controversial'' proposed rule
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder,\4\ which renders it effective upon filing with
the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to adopt new BATS Rule 2.12, entitled ``BATS
Trading, Inc. as Inbound Router'' and to make other related changes.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    On August 13, 2010, the Commission approved the application of BATS
Y-Exchange, Inc. (``BYX''), an affiliate of the Exchange, to register
as a national securities exchange.\5\ Included in the approved rules of
BYX is BYX Rule 2.12, which governs the routing of orders by BYX's (and
the Exchange's) affiliated broker-dealer, BATS Trading, Inc. (``BATS
Trading'') to BYX as inbound router in its capacity as a routing
facility of the Exchange. The Exchange is proposing to adopt the same
inbound routing rule, also numbered Rule 2.12, which will govern BATS
Trading's status as an inbound router that sends orders to the Exchange
in its capacity as a routing facility of BYX. Pursuant to proposed Rule
2.12, BATS Trading's inbound routing services from BYX to the Exchange
would be subject to the following conditions and limitations:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-62716 (August 13,
2010), 75 FR 51295 (August 19, 2010) (order approving application of
BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. for registration as a national securities
exchange).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) The Exchange must enter into (1) a plan pursuant to Rule 17d-2
under the Act with a non-affiliated self-regulatory organization
(``SRO'') to relieve the Exchange of regulatory responsibilities for
BATS Trading with respect to rules that are common rules between the
Exchange and the non-affiliated SRO, and (2) a regulatory services
contract (``Regulatory Contract'') with a non-affiliated SRO to perform
regulatory responsibilities for BATS Trading for unique Exchange rules.
    (2) The Regulatory Contract must require the Exchange to provide
the non-affiliated SRO with information, in an easily accessible
manner, regarding all exception reports, alerts, complaints, trading
errors, cancellations, investigations, and enforcement matters
(collectively ``Exceptions'') in which BATS Trading is identified as a
participant that has potentially violated Exchange or Commission Rules,
and requires that FINRA provide a report, at least quarterly, to the
Exchange quantifying all Exceptions in which BATS Trading is identified
as a participant that has potentially violated Exchange or Commission
rules.
    (3) The Exchange, on behalf of its parent company, BATS Global
Markets, Inc., must establish and maintain procedures and internal
controls reasonably designed to ensure that BATS Trading does not
develop or implement changes to its system based on non-public
information obtained as a result of its affiliation with the Exchange,
until such information is available generally to similarly situated
members of the Exchange.
    The Exchange has proposed adoption of new Rule 2.12 on a pilot
basis. The Exchange requests that this pilot period run concurrently
with the twelve month period for BYX's receipt of inbound routes from
the Exchange, which is set to expire one year after the commencement of
operations by BYX. BYX currently plans to commence operations on
October 15, 2010.
    In addition to the adoption of an inbound routing rule, the
Exchange proposes minor modifications to its existing rule applicable
to BATS Trading's status as an outbound router. Specifically, Rule 2.11
currently states that BATS Trading will not engage in any business
other than its outbound router function and any other activities it may
engage in as approved by the Commission. The Exchange proposes to add
acting as inbound router to the list of activities in which BATS
Trading will engage.

    Finally, due to the adoption of Rule 2.12, the Exchange proposes to
re-number existing Rule 2.12 as 2.13.
2. Statutory Basis
    The rule change proposed in this submission is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\6\ In particular, the
proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\
because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in general, protect investors and
the public interest, by implementing a rule to allow BATS Trading, Inc.
to route orders to the Exchange in its capacity as an order routing
facility of BYX.

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 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 imposes
any burden on competition.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0911; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-115-AD]

RIN 2120-AA64

  Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional

Jet Series 700, 701 & 702), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), and

CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the

products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation

authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe

condition as:

    There have been several incidents of shorting and sparks due to

de-icing fluid ingress into the cockpit of CL-600-2C10 and CL-600-

2D24 aircraft. De-icing fluid can enter between the windshields and

side windows, leading to possible damage to the electrical

components and wires as it comes into contact with cockpit

floodlight electrical connections.

De-icing fluid in contact with cockpit floodlight electrical

connections can result in possible arcing and fire. The proposed AD

would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition

described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 25,

2008.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation

authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-

2008-19, dated May 8, 2008 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to

correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI

states:

    There have been several incidents of shorting and sparks due to

de-icing fluid ingress into the cockpit of CL-600-2C10 and CL-600-

2D24 aircraft. De-icing fluid can enter between the windshields and

side windows, leading to possible damage to the electrical

components and wires as it comes into contact with cockpit

floodlight electrical connections.

De-icing fluid in contact with cockpit floodlight electrical

connections can result in possible arcing and fire. The actions to

address the unsafe condition include performing a leak test, applying

sealant between the windshields and side windows, and doing related

investigative and corrective actions. The related investigative action

is performing a leak test after applying sealant. The related

corrective action is contacting Bombardier for repair instructions and

doing the repair. You may obtain further information by examining the

MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued Alert Service Bulletin A670BA-56-002,

Revision A, dated February 26, 2008. 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.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in

general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it

necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the

AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these

changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information

provided in the MCAI and related service information.

    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those

in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are

highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD

would affect about 254 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that

it would take about 4 work-hours per product to comply with the basic

requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per

work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $81,280, or $320 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.

    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to

comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, 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

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Bombardier, Inc. (Formerly Canadair): Docket No. FAA-2008-0911;

Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-115-AD.

Jet Series 700, 701 & 702) airplanes, serial numbers 10003 through

10216 inclusive; and Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) and

CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, serial numbers

15001 through 15040 inclusive; certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 56: Windows.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)

states:

    There have been several incidents of shorting and sparks due to

de-icing fluid ingress into the cockpit of CL-600-2C10 and CL-600-

2D24 aircraft. De-icing fluid can enter between the windshields and

side windows, leading to possible damage to the electrical

components and wires as it comes into contact with cockpit

floodlight electrical connections.

De-icing fluid in contact with cockpit floodlight electrical

connections can result in possible arcing and fire. The actions to

address the unsafe condition include performing a leak test,

applying sealant between the windshields and side windows, and doing

related investigative and corrective actions. The related

investigative action is performing a leak test after applying

sealant. The related corrective action is contacting Bombardier for

repair instructions and doing the repair.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.

    (1) Within 450 flight hours after the effective date of this AD:

Perform a leak test in accordance with Part A of the Accomplishment

Instructions of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A670BA-56-002,

Revision A, dated February 26, 2008.

    (2) If leakage is detected in the leak test performed in

accordance with paragraph (f)(1) of this AD: Prior to further

flight, apply sealant between the windshields and side windows and

do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions in

accordance with Part B of the Accomplishment Instructions of

Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A670BA-56-002, Revision A, dated

February 26, 2008. Do all applicable related investigative and

corrective actions before further flight.

    (3) If there is no leakage detected in the leak test performed

in accordance with paragraph (f)(1) of this AD: Within 6 months or

2,000 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, whichever

comes first, apply sealant between the windshields and side windows

and do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions

before further flight in accordance with Part B of the

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin

A670BA-56-002, Revision A, dated February 26, 2008. Do all

applicable related investigative and corrective actions before

further flight.

    (4) A leak test and application of sealant are also acceptable

for compliance with the requirements of paragraphs (f)(1), (f)(2),

and (f)(3) of this AD if done before the effective date of this AD

in accordance with Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A670BA-56-002,

dated January 7, 2008.

Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Model
407 and 427 Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Bell
Helicopter Textron Canada (Bell) Model 407 and 427 helicopters. This AD
results from a mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) AD
issued by the aviation authority of Canada. The MCAI AD states that,
during a preflight check, it was observed that the swashplate link
assembly bearing had moved in the lever race, making contact with the
swashplate support. The MCAI also states that further investigation
revealed that the bearing had not been staked correctly during
manufacture. That condition, if not detected, could result in failure
of a bearing, failure of the swashplate link assembly, and subsequent
loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on November 16, 2009.
    We must receive comments on this AD by December 29, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued AD No. CF-2009-14, dated April 15, 2009 to correct an unsafe
condition for Bell Model 407 helicopters, serial number (S/N) 53000
through 53887, 53890 through 53916, 53918, 53920, 53921, 53923 through
53926, and 53928; and Model 427 helicopters, S/N 56001 through 56074,
58001, and 58002, with an anti-drive link assembly, part number (P/N)
406-010-432-101, that has a serial number prefix of ``TI'' or ``TIFS.''
Transport Canada states that during a preflight check, it was observed
that the swashplate link assembly bearing had moved in the lever race,
making contact with the swashplate support. Transport Canada also
states that further investigation revealed that the bearing had not
been staked correctly during manufacture and that this situation, if
not corrected, could lead to loss of control of the helicopter. You may
obtain further information by examining the MCAI AD and any related
service information in the AD docket.

Related Service Information

    Bell has issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 407-09-87, dated
March 27, 2009, for the Model 407 helicopters and ASB No. 427-09-24,
Revision A, dated March 30, 2009, for the Model 427 helicopters. The
ASBs specify a one-time inspection of all anti-drive link assemblies,
P/N 406-010-432-101 with a serial number prefix of ``TI'' or ``TIFS,''
to ensure that the bearing, P/N 406-310-403-101, is correctly and
securely staked in the link assembly. The actions described in the MCAI
AD are intended to correct the same unsafe condition as that identified
in the ASBs.

FAA's Evaluation and Unsafe Condition Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
Canada, and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with Canada, they have notified us of the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI AD. We are issuing this AD
because we evaluated all information provided by Transport Canada and
determined an unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop
on other products of the same type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI AD

    This AD differs from the MCAI AD as follows:
     This AD requires compliance within 10 hours time-in-
service (TIS), the MCAI AD requires compliance within the next 10
flight hours, but no later than 30 days from the effective day of the
MCAI AD, which was May 6, 2009; and
     This AD does not apply to Model 427 helicopters with S/N
58001 or 58002 because those serial-numbered helicopters are not
eligible for an FAA certificate of airworthiness.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 554 helicopters of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per
helicopter to inspect and replace, if necessary, the bearing or the
anti-drive link assembly. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour.
Required parts will cost about $400 for a bearing or $3,517 for an
anti-drive link assembly, per helicopter. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators will be $1,992,738
($3,597 per helicopter), assuming that all anti-drive link assemblies
are replaced.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. We find that the risk to the flying public justifies waiving
notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because the
previously described critical unsafe condition can adversely affect the
structural integrity of the helicopter and the inspection must be
performed within 10 hours TIS. Therefore, we have determined that
notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are
impracticable and that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. However, we invite you to send us any written data, views, or
arguments concerning this AD. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section of this AD. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2009-
1003; Directorate Identifier 2009-SW-25-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this
AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this 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 product(s) identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that 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.
    Therefore, I certify this AD:
    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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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

Reason

    (d) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) AD
states during a preflight check it was observed that the swashplate
link assembly bearing had moved in the lever race, making contact
with the swashplate support. The MCAI AD also states that further
investigation revealed that the bearing had not been staked
correctly during manufacture. That condition, if not detected, could
result in failure of a bearing, failure of the link assembly, and
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Actions and Compliance

    (e) Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.
    (1) Within 10 hours time-in-service (TIS), using a 10x or higher
magnifying glass, inspect the link assembly and determine if the
bearing, P/N 406-310-403-101, is correctly installed and properly
staked in the link assembly. Also inspect to ensure that the bearing
is not loose.
    (2) Before further flight, replace any bearing that is
incorrectly installed or improperly staked in the link assembly.
    (3) Before further flight, replace the link assembly if the
bearing is loose.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI AD

    (f) This AD differs from the MCAI AD as follows:
    (1) This AD requires compliance within 10 hours TIS, the MCAI AD
requires compliance within the next 10 flight hours, but no later
than 30 days from the effective day of the MCAI AD, which was May 6,
2009; and
    (2) This AD does not apply to Model 427 helicopters, S/N 58001
or 58002, because those serial-numbered helicopters are not eligible
for an FAA certificate of airworthiness.

Other Information

    (g) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Safety Management Group, FAA, ATTN: Sharon Miles, Aviation Safety
Engineer, Rotorcraft Directorate, Fort Worth, Texas 76137, telephone

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54195; File No. SR-NYSE-2006-01]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (n/
k/a New York Stock Exchange LLC); Order Approving Proposed Rule Change
to Require Specialists to Publish a 100 x 100 Share Market to Suspend
Direct+ for Exchange Rule 127 Block Cross Transactions

July 24, 2006.
    On January 17, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.\1\ (n/k/a
New York Stock Exchange LLC) (``NYSE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to
Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \2
\and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ a proposed rule change to eliminate
Exchange Rule 1000(v), which suspends the Exchange's Direct+ facility
if the specialist publishes a bid and/or offer that is more than five
cents away from the last reported transaction price when an Exchange
Rule 127 block cross transaction is being executed. The Exchange
proposes to replace this procedure with a rule that requires the
specialist to quote a 100 x 100 share market when all Exchange Rule 127
block cross transactions are being executed, regardless of the amount
the cross price is away from the last reported transaction price. The
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register
on June 8, 2006.\4\ The Commission received no comments regarding the
proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Exchange is now known as the New York Stock Exchange
LLC. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53382 (February 27,
2006), 71 FR 11251 (March 6, 2006).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53932 (June 1,
2006), 71 FR 33328.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in
particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\5\
Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \6 \in that it is designed
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). In approving this proposed rule change,
the Commission considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that eliminating the requirement that
specialists quote a price that is more than five cents away from the
last reported transaction price when a Rule 127 transaction is being
executed should simplify the procedure for suspending Direct+ while a
Rule 127 block transaction is being executed.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Commission notes that this rule will not be in effect
upon the implementation of the Hybrid Market. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 53539 (March 22, 2006), 71 FR 16353 (March
31, 2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\8\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSE-2006-01) is hereby
approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\9 \
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

Assistant Secretary.
