DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2019-0060]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated June 27, 2019, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority
(SEPTA) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a
waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad
safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 236.586, Daily or after trip
test, and Sec.  236.588, Periodic test. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA-2019-0060.
    Specifically, SEPTA requests to increase the time between periodic
tests to 184 days. SEPTA explains that it seeks the same relief and
conditions as provided to CSX Transportation, National Railroad
Passenger Corporation, Norfolk Southern Railway, and Union Pacific
Railroad in Docket Number FRA-2014-0085. SEPTA's locomotives (road
numbers 901-915, and electric multiple unit (EMU) vehicles road numbers
701-725 and 801-848) are equipped with the SEPTA system automatic cab
signals and Positive Train Control. SEPTA states these locomotives and
EMUs are equipped with enhanced computer-based electronics and
diagnostics. SEPTA indicates performing signal inspections pursuant to
49 CFR 236.588 in conjunction with and under the same schedule as the
locomotive inspections under 49 CFR 229.23(b) would increase efficiency
without compromising safety.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE,
W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations Facility is open
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984
(Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term
Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide that a patent may
be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as the patented item
(human drug product, animal drug product, medical device, food
additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory review by FDA
before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a product's regulatory
review period forms the basis for determining the amount of extension
an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For medical devices, the testing
phase begins with a clinical investigation of the device and runs until
the approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the device and continues until
permission to market the device is granted. Although only a portion of
a regulatory review period may count toward the actual amount of
extension that the Director of USPTO may award (half the testing phase
must be subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before
the patent was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a
regulatory review period for a medical device will include all of the
testing phase and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C.
156(g)(3)(B).
    FDA has approved for marketing the medical device MED-EL EAS. The
MED-EL EAS is intended to provide electrical stimulation to the mid- to
high-frequency region of the cochlea and acoustic amplification to the
low-frequency regions, for candidates with residual low frequency
hearing sensitivity. The MED-EL EAS is indicated for partially deaf
individuals aged 18 years and older who have residual hearing
sensitivity in the low frequencies sloping to a severe/profound
sensorineural hearing loss in the mid to high frequencies, and who
obtain minimal benefit from conventional acoustic amplification.
Subsequent to this approval, the USPTO received a patent term
restoration application for MED-EL EAS (U.S. Patent No. 7,917,224) from
Med-El Electromedizinische Gerate GmbH, and the USPTO requested FDA's
assistance in determining this patent's eligibility for patent term
restoration. In a letter dated April 5, 2018, FDA advised the USPTO
that this medical device had undergone a regulatory review period and
that the approval of MED-EL EAS represented the first permitted
commercial marketing or use of this product. Thereafter, the USPTO
requested that FDA determine the product's regulatory review period.

II. Determination of Regulatory Review Period

    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
MED-EL EAS is 4,537 days. Of this time, 4,269 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 268 days occurred
during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption for this device, under section 520(g) of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C.
360j(g)), became effective: April 16, 2004. The applicant claims that
the investigational device exemption (IDE) required under section
520(g) of the FD&C Act for human tests to begin became effective on
January 2, 2004. However, FDA records indicate that the IDE was
determined substantially complete for clinical studies to have begun on
April 16, 2004, which represents the IDE effective date.
    2. The date an application was initially submitted with respect to
the device under section 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360e): December
23, 2015. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the premarket
approval application (PMA) for MED-EL EAS (PMA P000025 S084) was
initially submitted December 23, 2015.
    3. The date the application was approved: September 15, 2016. FDA
has verified the applicant's claim that PMA P000025 S084 was approved
on September 15, 2016.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension.

However, the USPTO applies several statutory limitations in its
calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its
application for patent extension, this applicant seeks 998 days of
patent term extension.

III. Petitions

    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit either electronic or written comments and, under
21 CFR 60.24, ask for a redetermination (see DATES). Furthermore, as
specified in Sec.  60.30 (21 CFR 60.30), any interested person may
petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for
extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period.
To meet its burden, the petition must comply with all the requirements
of Sec.  60.30, including but not limited to: Must be timely (see
DATES), must be filed in accordance with Sec.  10.20, must contain
sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation, and must certify that a
true and complete copy of the petition has been served upon the patent
applicant. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42,
1984.) Petitions should be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Submit petitions electronically to https://www.regulations.gov at
Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610. Submit written petitions (two copies are
required) to the Dockets Management Staff (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Scammon Bay Airport, Scammon
Bay, AK. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using
the new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at Scammon
Bay Airport, Scammon Bay, AK. This action would enhance the safety and
management of aircraft operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15,
2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; is not a ``significant rule''
under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as
the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified this proposed rule, when promulgated, would 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for 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 the
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 would modify controlled airspace at Scammon Bay Airport, Scammon
Bay, AK.
    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

The Proposed Amendment

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-64193; File No. SR-ISE-2011-17]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend ISE Rule 2102 To Extend the Pilot Program

April 5, 2011.
    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 March 31, 2011, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') 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 self-
regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 2102 (Hours of Business) to
extend the expiration of the pilot rule.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at http://www.ise.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 self-regulatory organization
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 summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend ISE Rule 2102 to extend the
expiration of the pilot rule. Initial amendments to ISE Rule 2102 to
allow the Exchange to pause trading in an individual stock when the
primary listing market for such stock issues a trading pause were
approved by the Commission on June 10, 2010 on a pilot basis to end on
December 10, 2010.\3\ The pilot was then extended to expire on April
11, 2011.\4\ On September 10, 2010, ISE Rule 2102 was amended again to
expand the pilot rule to apply to the Russell 1000[supreg] Index and
other specified exchange traded products.\5\ The Exchange now proposes
to extend the date by which this pilot rule will expire to the earlier
of August 11, 2011 or the date on which a limit up/limit down mechanism
to address extraordinary market volatility, if adopted, applies.
Extending this pilot program will provide the exchanges with a
continued opportunity to assess the effect of this rule proposal on the
markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62252 (June 10,
2010), 75 FR 34186 (June 16, 2010) (SR-ISE-2010-48).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63506 (December 9,

2010), 75 FR 56618 (September 16, 2010) (SR-ISE-2010-66).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Basis
    The statutory basis for the proposed rule change is Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,\6\ which requires the rules of an exchange to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, 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 change also is designed to support the principles of
Section 11A(a)(1) \7\ of the Act in that it seeks to assure fair
competition among brokers and dealers and among exchange markets. The
Exchange believes that the proposed rule meets these requirements in
that it promotes uniformity across markets concerning decisions to
pause trading in a security when there are significant price movements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1).

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

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

    The proposed rule change does not 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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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 if consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). When filing a proposed rule change
pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act, an exchange is required
to give the Commission written notice of its intent to file the
proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of 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 Commission notes that the Exchange
has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.\10\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \11\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has considered the Exchange's request to waive the
30-day operative delay. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest, as it will allow the pilot program to continue
uninterrupted, thereby avoiding the investor confusion that could
result from a temporary interruption in the pilot program.\12\ For this
reason, the Commission designates the proposed rule change to be
operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For the purposes only of waiving the operative delay of
this proposal, 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 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
(AHD) Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model MBB-BK 117 C-2
helicopters. This AD was prompted by reports of excessively worn bolts
that connect the cardan-pivot joint with the piston rod of the tail
rotor actuator (TRA) assembly. This AD requires repetitively inspecting
certain TRA assemblies, and depending on the results, replacing or
repairing parts, or accomplishing additional inspections. This AD also
prohibits installing an affected TRA assembly unless it passes required
inspections. Lastly, this AD provides terminating actions for certain
inspections, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 14, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 14,
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued a series of EASA ADs, with the most recent
being EASA AD 2022-0086, dated May 13, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0086), to
correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
(AHD), formerly Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH; and Airbus Helicopters
Inc., formerly American Eurocopter LLC, Model MBB-BK117 C-2
helicopters. EASA issued EASA AD 2022-0086 to supersede EASA AD 2019-
0313, dated December 20, 2019.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus Helicopters
Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model MBB-BK 117 C-2 helicopters. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2022 (87 FR 42106). The
NPRM was prompted by reports of excessively worn bolts that connect the
cardan-pivot joint with the piston rod of the TRA assembly. According
to Airbus Helicopters, manufacturer investigations of affected TRAs
have revealed improperly assembled cardan-pivot joints as the main
cause of the

excessively worn bolts. Additionally, incorrect washers as well as
improperly shimmed laminated washers contribute to axial play and
increased wear of the bolt. The NPRM proposed to require repetitively
inspecting certain TRA assemblies, and depending on the results,
replacing or repairing parts, or accomplishing additional inspections.
The NPRM also proposed to prohibit installing an affected TRA assembly
unless it passed required inspections. Lastly, the NPRM proposed
terminating actions for certain inspections, as specified in EASA AD
2022-0086.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the costs.

Conclusion

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA reviewed the relevant
data and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these helicopters.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2022-0086 requires, for certain TRAs with a steel or
aluminum cardan-pivot joint, repetitively measuring the minimum
diameter of the cardan-pivot joint assembly bolt. Depending on the
results, EASA AD 2022-0086 requires replacing the bolt and laminated
washers of the affected TRA or repetitively measuring the minimum
diameter of the cardan-pivot joint assembly bolt at a reduced
compliance time; or contacting AHD for approved repair instructions and
compliance time or measuring the maximum diameter of the TRA piston rod
bore hole. Depending on the results of measuring the maximum diameter
of the TRA piston rod bore hole, EASA AD 2022-0086 requires replacing
the bolt and laminated washers of the affected TRA; or contacting AHD
for approved repair instructions and compliance time or repetitively
measuring the maximum diameter of the TRA piston rod bore hole at a
reduced compliance time. EASA AD 2022-0086 also prohibits installing an
affected TRA assembly unless it passes its required inspections.
Lastly, EASA AD 2022-0086 specifies certain terminating actions for
repetitively measuring the minimum diameter of the cardan-pivot joint
assembly bolt.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin MBB-
BK117 C-2-67A-027, Revision 2, dated December 15, 2021. This service
information specifies, for TRAs with a steel or aluminum cardan-pivot
joint, procedures for measuring the minimum diameter of the cardan-
pivot joint assembly bolt, measuring the maximum diameter of the TRA
piston rod bore hole, replacing the bolt and laminated washers, and
reassembling the TRA.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2022-0086 requires discarding certain parts, whereas this
AD requires removing those parts from service instead. EASA AD 2022-
0086 requires maintaining a removed bolt for possible investigation
purposes for four weeks, whereas this AD does not require that action.
EASA AD 2022-0086 requires contacting AHD for approved repair
instructions and accomplishing those instructions within the compliance
time specified therein, whereas this AD requires accomplishing a repair
in accordance with certain approved methods before further flight.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 142 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this AD.
    Measuring the cardan-pivot joint assembly bolt takes about 2 work-
hours and parts cost a nominal amount for an estimated cost of $170 per
helicopter and $24,140 for the U.S. fleet, per inspection cycle. If
required, measuring the TRA piston rod bore hole following the cardan-
pivot joint assembly bolt inspection takes about an additional 0.5
work-hour for an estimated cost of $43 per helicopter, per inspection
cycle. Replacing a bolt and the laminated washers following an
inspection takes about an additional 0.25 work-hour and parts cost
about $586 for an estimated cost of $607 per replacement.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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