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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-24-07 for
all Airbus Model A318 series airplanes, Model A319 series airplanes,
Model A320 series airplanes, and Model A321 series airplanes. AD 2010-
24-07 required repetitive inspections of the 80VU rack lower lateral
fittings for damage, repetitive inspections of the 80VU rack lower
central support for cracking, and corrective action if necessary. AD
2010-24-07 also specified optional terminating action for the
repetitive inspections. This new AD reduces the inspection compliance
time, adds an inspection of the upper fittings and shelves of the 80VU
rack, and adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD was prompted by
reports of worn lower lateral fittings of the 80VU rack. We are issuing
this AD to detect and correct damage or cracking of the 80VU fittings
and supports, which could lead to possible disconnection of the cable
harnesses to one or more computers, and if occurring during a critical
phase of flight, could result in reduced control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective January 31, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 31,
2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of January
11, 2011 (75 FR 75878, December 7, 2010).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to the specified products. The
NPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 14, 2013 (78 FR
28152), and proposed to supersede AD 2010-24-07, Amendment 39-16526 (75
FR 75878, December 7, 2010). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of
the European Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2012-
0134, dated July 18, 2012 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    Damage to the lower lateral fittings of the 80VU rack, typically
elongated holes, migrated bushes, and/or missing bolts have been
reported on in-service aeroplanes. The 80VU rack contains computers
for flight controls, communication and radio-navigation. In
addition, damage to the lower

central support fitting (including cracking) has been reported.
    Failure of the 80VU fittings, in combination with a high load
factor or strong vibration, could lead to failure of the rack
structure and/or computers or rupture/disconnection of the cable
harnesses to one or more computers located in the 80VU rack. Even
though the computer functions are duplicated across other racks,
multiple system failures or (partial) disconnection of systems, if
occurring during a critical phase of flight, could result in reduced
control of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2007-
0276 to require repetitive inspections of the lower lateral 80VU
fittings and the lower central 80VU support and, depending on
findings, the accomplishment of corrective actions. [EASA] AD 2007-
0276 was revised to introduce a reinforced lower central support as
an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections.
    Since issuance of EASA AD 2007-0276R1 [http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/easa_ad_2007_0276_R1_superseded.pdf/AD_2007-0276R1_1]
[which corresponds to FAA AD 2010-24-07, Amendment 39-16526 (75 FR
75878, December 7, 2010)], and prompted by in-service experience,
the previous inspection programme has been reassessed. New
conditions of inspection for a new finding on the lower central
fitting attachment (crack in the lower of the lateral flanges), and
a new visual inspection of the upper fittings and shelves of the
80VU are introduced by this inspection programme. In addition, the
replacement of a cracked lateral fitting or central support with a
lateral fitting or central support having the same part number is no
longer preferable as corrective action. Instead, the installation of
the reinforced lower central support is now defined as optional
terminating action for the repetitive inspections required by this
[EASA] AD.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD supersedes EASA
AD 2007-0276R1 and requires implementation of an amended inspection
programme with a reduced inspection threshold.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-0416-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We have considered the comments received.

Request to Change Compliance Time

    United Airlines (UAL) requested that we change the compliance time
for the corrective actions specified in paragraphs (m), (o), and (p) of
the NPRM (78 FR 28152, May 14, 2013) from ``before further flight'' to
the following.
     Within one deferral flight cycle, or the applicable time
given in Paragraph E.(2), ``Accomplish Timescale,'' of Airbus Mandatory
Service Bulletin A320-25A1555, Revision 03, dated February 28, 2012,
whichever is later.
     Within 50 flight cycles or at the applicable time given in
Paragraph E.(2), ``Accomplish Timescale,'' of Airbus Mandatory Service
Bulletin A320-25A1555, Revision 03, dated February 28, 2012, whichever
is later.
    UAL stated that the first option would give operators a chance to
fly a ferry flight to a more equipped resourced base maintenance
station, and that the second option would give operators an option to
create a short-term deferred item to plan for its accomplishment by
creating a formal maintenance task with planned allocated resources.
    UAL stated that due to the inspection threshold and repeat interval
of 500 flight cycles, it is concerned that the inspection will take
place at mainly airplane line maintenance stations, with significant
exposure to possible damage conditions that require correction before
further flight. UAL commented that typical airplane line stations might
not have the resources, materials, and equipment to perform this type
of modification, repair, and access. UAL also stated that certain
corrective actions require approximately 57 work-hours, which would
lead to lengthy out-of-service time and costs to the airline.
    We do not agree with UAL's request to extend the compliance time.
The FAA AD provides a provision for operators to apply for a special
flight permit in accordance with 14 CFR 21.197, which allows operators
to fly airplanes to a base where repairs, alterations, or maintenance
can be performed. These airplanes may not fully meet applicable
airworthiness requirements, but are capable of safe flight for reasons
stated in 14 CFR 21.197. In developing an appropriate compliance time
for this final rule, we considered the urgency associated with the
subject unsafe condition, the availability of required parts, and the
practical aspect of accomplishing the required corrective actions. Some
safety issues are more time-sensitive than others, so we consider the
overall risk to the fleet, including the severity of the failure and
the likelihood of the failure's occurrence in establishing the
compliance time in this final rule. The commenter has not provided
sufficient substantiation for revising the corrective action compliance
time for repairing certain damage conditions that will meet an
acceptable level of safety to mitigate risk to the fleet.
    Under the provisions of paragraph (s) of this AD, we will consider
requests for approval of an extension of the compliance time if
sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the new compliance
time would provide an acceptable level of safety. We have not changed
this final rule in this regard.

Additional Changes to This AD

    We have revised paragraph (o)(1) of this final rule to include the
option of contacting the EASA (or its delegated agent) for repair
instructions.
    Paragraph (p) of the NPRM (78 FR 28152, May 14, 2013) incorrectly
referred to ``paragraphs (m) and (o) of this AD'' for certain special
detailed inspections. Those special detailed inspections are specified
in paragraphs (l) and (n) of this AD. We have revised paragraph (p) of
this AD to refer to paragraphs (l) and (n) of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 28152, May 14, 2013) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 28152, May 14, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects about 755 products of U.S.
registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2010-24-07, Amendment 39-16526
(75 FR 75878, December 7, 2010), and retained in this AD, take about 82
work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work hour.
Required parts cost about $2,592 per product. Based on these figures,
the estimated cost of the currently required actions is $9,562 per
product.
    We estimate that it takes about 5 work-hours per product to comply
with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is
$85 per work-hour. Where the service information lists parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $320,875, or $425 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 189 work-hours and require parts costing $7,047, for a cost
of $23,112 per product. Where the service information lists required
parts costs that are

covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge
for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected
parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. We
have no way of determining the number of products that may need these
actions.

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 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 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0745]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Potomac River, Between Charles County, MD and King
George County, VA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
certain waters of the Potomac River. This action is necessary to
provide for the safety of persons, and the marine environment from the
potential safety hazards associated with construction operations at the
new Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial
(US-301) Bridge, which will occur from 7 a.m. on September 20, 2021,
through 8 p.m. on December 31, 2021. This rule will prohibit persons
and vessels from being in the safety zone unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port, Sector Maryland-National Capital Region or a
designated representative. Due to the lengthy duration of the safety
zone, the Coast Guard is accepting and reviewing public comments until
October 15, 2021. While the rule is being enforced, beginning September
20, 2021, the Coast Guard reserves the right to modify the safety zone
if an issue is raised by the public comments that requires a
modification.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from September 23,
2021 through December 31, 2021. For the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be issued from September 20, 2021, until September 23,
2021. Comments and related materials will be accepted and reviewed by
the Coast Guard until October 25, 2021.

III. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On August 23, 2021, the Coast Guard established a temporary safety
zone for certain waters of the Potomac River in association with the
construction operations at the new Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator
Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301) Bridge (86 FR 46970; Docket
No. USCG-2021-0650). That rule had an effective date of 7 a.m. on
August 23, 2021, through 8 p.m. on September 11, 2021.
    On September 10, 2021, Skanska-Corman-McLean, Joint Venture,
notified the Coast Guard that the company will continue to set 200-ton
pre-cast fender ring elements at the new Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator
Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301) Bridge at Piers 43 and 44,
which are adjacent on either side of the federal navigation channel
from September 13, 2021, through December 31, 2021. The operation
requires the daily movement in, anchoring, and movement out of a large
crane, as well as nighttime diver work. This operation will impede
vessels requiring the use of the channel. The U.S. Coast Guard
established a temporary safety zone for certain waters of the Potomac
River in association with the construction operations at the new
Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-
301) Bridge (Docket No. USCG-2021-0127) from 7 a.m. on September 13,
2021, to 8 p.m. on September 18, 2021. The U.S. Coast Guard issued a
temporary rule (Docket No. USCG-2021-0127) for only a six calendar day
period due to the timing when the notification was received by the
company. Additional rulemaking is needed to cover the entire period of
work provided by the company.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable.
Construction operations involving crane heavy lifts at the new Governor
Harry W. Nice/Senator Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301) Bridge
must occur within the federal navigation channel. Immediate action is
needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with
bridge construction. Hazards from the construction operations include
low-hanging or falling ropes, cables, large piles and cement cast
portions, dangerous projectiles, and or other debris. We must establish
this safety zone by September 20, 2021, to guard against these hazards
and lack sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment period and
then consider those comments before issuing the rule.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of

this rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate
action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated
with construction operations at the new Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator
Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301) Bridge conducted within the
federal navigation channel.

IV. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP has determined that
potential hazards associated with bridge construction starting
September 20, 2021 will be a safety concern for anyone within the
federal navigation channel at the new Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator
Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301) Bridge construction site.
This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone while the
bridge is being constructed.

V. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone September 20, 2021,
until December 31, 2021. The zone will be enforced as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Date(s)                               Hours
------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 20, 2021 through September     7 a.m. September 20, 2021
 24, 2021.                                through 8 p.m. September 24,
                                          2021.
September 25, 2021 through October 16,   Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m.
 2021.                                    to 8 p.m.
October 18, 2021 through October 22,     7 a.m. October 18, 2021 through
 2021.                                    8 p.m. October 22, 2021.
October 23, 2021 through December 31,    Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m.
 2021, except November 25, 2021 and       to 8 p.m.
 December 25, 2021.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The safety zone will cover all navigable waters of the Potomac
River, encompassed by a line connecting the following points beginning
at 38[deg]21'50.96'' N, 076[deg]59'22.04'' W, thence south to
38[deg]21'43.08'' N, 076[deg]59'20.55'' W, thence west to
38[deg]21'41.00'' N, 076[deg]59'34.90'' W, thence north to
38[deg]21'48.90'' N, 076[deg]59'36.80'' W, and east back to the
beginning point, located between Charles County, MD and King George
County, VA. The temporary safety zone is approximately 450 yards in
width and 270 yards in length.
    This regulation requires that the bridge owner post a sign facing
the northern and southern approaches of the navigation channel labeled
``BRIDGE WORK--DANGER--STAY AWAY'' affixed to the sides of the on-scene
marine equipment and vessels operating within the area of the safety
zone Marine equipment means any vessel, barge or other equipment
operated by Skanska-Corman-McLean, Joint Venture, or its
subcontractors.This notice will consist of a diamond shaped sign
(minimum 4 feet by 4 feet) with a 3-inch orange retro reflective
border. The word ``DANGER'' will be 10 inch black block letters
centered on the sign with the words ``BRIDGE WORK'' and ``STAY AWAY''
in 6 inch black block letters placed above and below the word
``DANGER,'' respectively, on a white background.
    The duration of the zone is intended to protect personnel, and the
marine environment in these navigable waters while the tub sections are
being set at the new Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator Thomas ``Mac''
Middleton Memorial (US-301) Bridge at Piers 43 and 44, which are
adjacent on either side of the federal navigation channel. Except for
marine equipment and vessels operated by Skanska-Corman-McLean, Joint
Venture, or its subcontractors, no vessel or person will be permitted
to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or
a designated representative.
    Designated representative means any Coast Guard commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer, including a Coast Guard coxswain, petty
officer, or other officer operating a Coast Guard vessel and a Federal,
State, and local officer designated by or assisting the Captain of the
Port Maryland-National Capital Region (COTP) in the enforcement of the
safety zone. To seek permission to enter, contact the COTP or the
COTP's representative by telephone number<PHONE_NUMBER> or on Marine
Band Radio VHF-FM channel 16 (156.8 MHz). Those in the safety zone must
comply with all lawful orders or directions given to them by the COTP
or the COTP's designated representative.
    The U.S. Coast Guard may be assisted in the patrol and enforcement
of the safety zone by Federal, State, and local agencies.
    The COTP will notify the public that the safety zone will be
enforced by all appropriate means to the affected segments of the
public, as practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a).

VI. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on size and duration
of the safety zone. The temporary safety zone is approximately 450
yards in width and 270 yards in length. We anticipate that there will
be no vessels that are unable to conduct business. Excursion vessels
and commercial fishing vessels are not impacted by this rulemaking.
Excursion vessels do not operate in this area, and commercial fishing
vessels are not impacted because of their draft. Some towing vessels
may be impacted. But, bridge project personnel have been conducting
outreach throughout the project in order to coordinate with those
vessels. Vessel traffic not required to use the navigation channel will
be able to safely transit around the safety zone. Such vessels may be
able to transit to the east of the federal navigation channel, as
similar vertical clearance and water depth exist under the next bridge
span to the east. This safety zone will impact a small designated area
of the Potomac River for 87 days but coincides with the non-peak season
for recreational boating.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their

fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
temporary safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in
section VI.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
safety zone lasting 6 total days that will prohibit entry within a
portion of the Potomac River. It is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is available in the docket. For
instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

[Docket No. FAA-2023-0234]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Bird/Other
Wildlife Strike Report

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The collection involves voluntary reporting of bird/other
wildlife strike information following a wildlife strike incident with
aircraft. This data becomes part of the publicly available National
Wildlife Strike Database. Strike reports provide critical information
that allows the FAA to determine high-risk species, track national
trends, evaluate the FAA's wildlife hazard management program, and
provide scientific foundation for regulatory guidance. Additionally,
this essential information allows engine and airframe manufacturers to
evaluate the effectiveness of aircraft components. It also helps
airports identify and mitigate hazardous species and the location of
wildlife attractants, affords a better understanding of strike
dynamics, and provides key metrics for an airport to evaluate the
effectiveness of its wildlife management program.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by April 3, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into
search field).
    By mail: John Weller, 800 Independence Avenue SW, AAS-300,
Washington, DC 20591.
    By fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Weller by email at:
[email protected]; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0045.
    Title: Bird/Other Wildlife Strike Report.
    Form Numbers: 5200-7.
    Type of Review: This is a renewal of an information collection.
    Background: 14 CFR 139.337, Wildlife Hazard Management, requires
the FAA to collect wildlife strike data to develop standards and
monitor hazards to aviation. Data identify wildlife strike control
requirements and provide in-service data on aircraft component failure.
Pilots, airport operations staff, aircraft and airport maintenance
personnel, air traffic controllers, wildlife biologists, and anyone
else having knowledge of a strike can report incidents to the FAA,
primarily using the online version of FAA Form 5200-7. The data becomes
part of the publicly available National Wildlife Strike Database used
to enhance safety by airports, airlines, engine and airframe
manufacturers, and the FAA. Overall, the number of strikes annually
reported to the FAA has increased from 1,850 in 1990 to more than
15,556 in 2021.
    Respondents: Approximately 14,868 pilots, airport operations staff,
aircraft and airport maintenance personnel, air traffic controllers,
wildlife biologists, and others with knowledge of a strike.
    Frequency: As needed.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,239 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on January 26, 2023.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 65

[Docket ID FEMA-2011-0002]

Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Modified Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) are
finalized for the communities listed below. These modified BFEs will be
used to calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and
their contents.

DATES: The effective dates for these modified BFEs are indicated on the
following table and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in
effect for the listed communities prior to this date.

ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final determinations listed below of the modified BFEs
for each community listed. These modified BFEs have been published in
newspapers of local circulation and ninety (90) days have elapsed since
that publication. The Deputy Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Administrator has resolved any appeals resulting from this
notification.
    The modified BFEs are not listed for each community in this notice.
However, this final rule includes the address of the Chief Executive
Officer of the community where the modified BFE determinations are
available for inspection.
    The modified BFEs are made pursuant to section 206 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    These modified BFEs, together with the floodplain management
criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
    These modified BFEs are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after these
elevations are made final, and for the contents in those buildings. The
changes in BFEs are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This final rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not been
prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This final rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This final rule meets
the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
