[Docket No. FAA-2018-0916; Product Identifier 2018-NE-33-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co KG Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co KG (Rotax) 912 and 914 model engines. This
proposed AD was prompted by power loss and engine revolutions per
minute (RPM) drop on Rotax 912 and 914 model engines due to a quality
control deficiency in the manufacturing process of certain valve push-
rod assemblies resulting in partial wear on the rocker arm ball socket
and possible malfunction of the valve. This proposed AD would require a
one-time inspection and, depending on the findings, replacement of the
affected parts with parts eligible for installation. We are proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 21,
2018.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD 2017-0208, dated October 13, 2017 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to address the unsafe condition on these products. The MCAI
states:

    Power loss and engine RPM drop have been reported on Rotax 912/
914 engines in service. It has been determined that, due to a
quality control deficiency in the manufacturing process of certain
valve push-rod assemblies, manufactured between 08 June 2016 and 02
October 2017 inclusive, partial wear on the rocker arm ball socket

may occur, which may lead to malfunction of the valve train.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, may lead to rough
engine operation and loss of power, possibly resulting in a forced
landing, with consequent damage to the aeroplane and injury to
occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, BRP-Rotax issued
Service Bulletin (SB) SB-912 i-008/SB-912-070/SB-914-052 (single
document), providing applicable instructions.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time inspection and, depending on findings, replacement of affected
parts. This [EASA] AD also prohibits installation of affected parts
on an engine.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-0916.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Rotax Service Bulletin (SB) SB-912 i-008 R1/SB-912-070
R1/SB-914-052 R1 (single document), Revision 1, dated October 12, 2017.
The SB describes procedures for inspection and replacement of the valve
push-rod assembly and the left and right rocker arms. 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

    This product has been approved by EASA, and is approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement
with the European Community, EASA has notified us of the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced
above. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of
the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require a one-time inspection and, depending
on the findings, replacement of the affected parts with parts eligible
for installation.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 150 engines installed on
airplanes 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 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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79979; File No. SR-OC-2017-01]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; OneChicago, LLC; Notice of Filing
of Proposed Rule Change Regarding Fraudulent Acts

February 6, 2017.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(7) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on January 25, 2017,
OneChicago, LLC (``OneChicago,'' ``OCX,'' or the ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'')
the proposed rule change described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons. OneChicago has also filed this rule
change with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'').
OneChicago filed a written certification with the CFTC under Section
5c(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act on January 17, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(7).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    OneChicago is proposing to make two amendments to OCX Rule 601
(Fraudulent Acts). First, OneChicago is proposing to amend OCX Rule 601
to clarify that in addition to prohibiting fraudulent acts, the rule
also prohibits any attempt to engage in any fraudulent act. Further,
the rule is also being amended to track the language in CFTC Regulation
180.1 that expressly prohibits the use or employment of any
manipulative device, scheme, or artifice to defraud.\2\ The text of the
proposed rule change is attached as Exhibit 4 to the filing submitted
by the Exchange but is not attached to the published notice of the
filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 17 CFR 180.1.

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

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

    In its filing with the Commission, OneChicago 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 self-regulatory organization has prepared a summary
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 purpose of the proposed rule change to OCX Rule 601 is to
prohibit attempts to engage in any fraudulent act or scheme that is
already prohibited by Rule 601. Currently, Rule 601 prohibits Clearing
Members, Exchange Members, or Access Persons from engaging in any
fraudulent act or from engaging in any scheme to defraud, deceive or
trick, in connection with or related to any trade on or other activity
related to the Exchange or the Exchange's clearinghouse. The proposed
rule change to Rule 601 broadens the language of the rule to prohibit
attempts to engage in any fraudulent act or any scheme to defraud,
deceive or trick. Further, the rule is also being amended to expressly
prohibit the use or employment of any manipulative device, scheme, or
artifice to defraud. This rule change is being made upon request by the
CFTC, and is consistent with CFTC Regulation 180.1 that expressly
prohibits the use or employment of any manipulative device, scheme or
artifice to defraud.
2. Statutory Basis
    OneChicago believes that the proposed rule changes are consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\3\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5)\4\ in particular in that they are
intended to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
promote just and equitable principles of trade, and 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. The proposed rule changes provide OneChicago market
participants with clarity and specificity regarding attempted
fraudulent acts in relation to OneChicago products. Specifically, the
proposed rule changes make it clear that attempts to engage in
fraudulent acts are prohibited, and that the use or employment of any
manipulative device, scheme or artifice to defraud is also prohibited.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    OneChicago does not believe that the rule change will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act, in that the rule change will enhance
OneChicago's ability to carry out its responsibilities as a self-
regulatory organization. OneChicago believes that the proposed rule
change is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the
amendments regarding attempted fraudulent acts or schemes apply equally
to all market participants.

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

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

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

    The proposed rule change will become operative on January 31, 2017.
At any time within 60 days of the date of the filing by the Exchange of
a written certification with the CFTC under Section 5c(c) of the CEA,
the Commission, after consultation with the CFTC, may summarily
abrogate the proposed rule change and require that the proposed rule
change be refiled in accordance with the provisions of Section 19(b)(1)
of the Act.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The National Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000 (the Act) was
enacted on April 5, 2000, as Public Law 106-181, and subsequently
amended in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. The Act
required the establishment of the advisory group within 1 year after
its enactment. The NPOAG was established in March 2001. The advisory
group is comprised of a balanced group of representatives of general
aviation, commercial air tour operations, environmental concerns, and
Native American tribes. The Administrator of the FAA and the Director
of NPS (or their designees) serve as ex officio members of the group.
Representatives of the Administrator and Director serve alternating 1-
year terms as chairman of the advisory group.
    In accordance with the Act, the advisory group provides ``advice,
information, and recommendations to the Administrator and the Director-
    (1) On the implementation of this title [the Act] and the
amendments made by this title;
    (2) On commonly accepted quiet aircraft technology for use in
commercial air tour operations over a national park or tribal lands,
which will receive preferential treatment in a given air tour
management plan;
    (3) On other measures that might be taken to accommodate the
interests of visitors to national parks; and
    (4) At the request of the Administrator and the Director, safety,

Membership

    The current NPOAG is made up of one member representing general
aviation, three members representing the commercial air tour industry,
four members representing environmental concerns, and two members
representing Native American interests. Current members of the NPOAG
are as follows:
    Melissa Rudinger representing general aviation; Alan Stephen and
Matt Zuccaro represent commercial air tour operators with one current
opening; Rob Smith, Dick Hingson, Les Blomberg, and John Eastman
represent environmental interests; and Leigh Kuwanwisiwma and Martin
Begaye represent Native American tribes. Mr. Kuwanwisiwma's 3-year term
expires on April 2, 2018.

Selections

    In order to retain balance within the NPOAG, the FAA and NPS are
seeking candidates interested in filling one open seat representing air
tour operator interests and one upcoming vacancy representing Native
American concerns. The FAA and NPS invite persons interested in these
openings on the NPOAG to contact Mr. Keith Lusk (contact information is
written above in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). Requests to serve on
the NPOAG must be made to Mr. Lusk in writing and postmarked or emailed
on or before December 8, 2017. The request should indicate whether or
not you are a member of an air tour operator association or company or
whether you are a member of a Native American tribe. The request should
also state what expertise you would bring to the NPOAG as related to
issues and concerns with aircraft flights over national parks and/or
tribal lands. The term of service for NPOAG members is 3 years. Current
members may re-apply for another term.
    On August 13, 2014, the Office of Management and Budget issued
revised guidance regarding the prohibition against appointing or not
reappointing federally registered lobbyists to serve on advisory
committees (79 Federal Register 47482).
    Therefore, before appointing an applicant to serve on the NPOAG,
the FAA and NPS will require the prospective candidate to certify that

they are not a federally registered lobbyist.

Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 airplanes. This AD requires installing
fuses and wire protection in certain wing and fuel tank spars. This AD
results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are
issuing this AD to prevent possible damage to the fuel level float or
pressure switch wires. Such damage could become a potential ignition
source inside the fuel tank, and, when combined with flammable fuel
vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of
the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective July 7, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of July 7, 2009.

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 airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 airplanes. That NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on March 10, 2009 (74 FR 10202). That
NPRM proposed to require installing fuses and wire protection in
certain wing and fuel tank spars.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 15 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD.

                                                                 Table--Estimated Costs

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), and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.
