SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F St. NE., Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 489 and Form F-N; SEC File No. 270-361, OMB Control No.
3235-0411.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``Paperwork Reduction Act''), the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting
comments on the collection of information summarized below. The
Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
    Rule 489 (17 CFR 230.489) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) requires foreign banks and foreign insurance
companies and holding companies and finance subsidiaries of foreign
banks and foreign insurance companies that are exempted from the
definition of ``investment company'' by virtue of rules 3a-1 (17 CFR
270.3a-1), 3a-5 (17 CFR 270.3a-5), and 3a-6 (17 CFR 270.3a-6) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) to file Form
F-N (17 CFR 239.43) to appoint an agent for service of process when
making a public offering of securities in the United States. The
information is collected so that the Commission and private plaintiffs
may serve process on foreign entities in actions and administrative
proceedings arising out of or based on the offer or sales of securities
in the United States by such foreign entities.
    During calendar year 2013, the Commission received a total of 16
responses on Form F-N from 14 entities. The Commission has previously
estimated that the total annual burden associated with information
collection and Form F-N preparation and submission is one hour per
filing. Based on the Commission's experience with disclosure documents
generally, the Commission continues to believe that this estimate is
appropriate. Thus the estimated total annual burden for rule 489 and
Form F-N is 16 hours.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 16 responses x 1 hour per response = 16 hours per year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the purposes
of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a comprehensive
or even representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules
and forms. Compliance with the collection of information requirements
of rule 489 and Form F-N is mandatory to obtain the benefit of the
exemption. Responses to the collection of information will not be kept
confidential. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of
the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Thomas Bayer, Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-8469; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-105-AD;
Amendment 39-18602; AD 2016-16-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a design review that revealed
insufficient measures were taken to ensure the correct locking of the
attachments of the fuel quantity tank units (FQTUs) in each wing tank.
When an FQTU becomes loose, this could lead to insufficient clearance
between the FQTU and the adjacent tank structure or other metal parts,
and under certain conditions, create an ignition source inside the wing
fuel vapor space. This AD requires modifying the FQTUs by applying
sealant to cover the nuts, washers, and stud ends at the FQTU
attachments in each main wing tank. This AD also requires revising the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, by incorporating a
fuel airworthiness limitation item and a critical design configuration
control limitation (CDCCL). We are issuing this AD to prevent an
ignition source in the wing fuel tank vapor space, which could result
in a wing fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective September 8, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 8,
2016.

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 all Fokker Services B.V.
Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3056)
(``the NPRM'').
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0106, dated May 7, 2014 (referred to after
this the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Fokker Services B.V.
Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Prompted by an accident * * *, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) published Special Federal Aviation Regulation
(SFAR) 88 [(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001)], and the Joint Aviation
Authorities (JAA) published Interim Policy INT/POL/25/12.
    The review conducted by Fokker Services on the Fokker F28
design, in response to these regulations, revealed that insufficient
measures were taken to ensure the correct locking of the attachments
of the Fuel Quantity Tank Units (FQTUs). When a FQTU becomes loose,
this could lead to insufficient clearance between the FQTU and the
adjacent tank structure or other metal parts and, under certain
conditions, create an ignition source inside the wing fuel tank
vapour space.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could result in a
wing fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Fokker Services
developed a modification to ensure that each FQTU remains properly
attached.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires the
application of sealant covering the nuts, washers and stud ends at
the FQTU attachment in each wing tank [and a revision to the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate a
fuel airworthiness limitation item and a CDCCL]. More information on
this subject can be found in Fokker Services All Operators Message
AOF28.038#02.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
8469.

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 this AD with the changes described
previously and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Fokker Services B.V. has issued Service Bulletin SBF28-28-050,
Revision 3, dated December 11, 2014. The service information describes
the fuel airworthiness limitation item and the CDCCL. Fokker Services
B.V. has also issued Service Bulletin SBF28-28-054, Revision 1, dated
January 9, 2014, which describes procedures for applying sealant to the
attachment nuts, washers, and stud ends of the FQTU; and Manual Change
Notification--Maintenance Documentation MCNM-F28-037, Rev 1, dated
January 9, 2014, which describes related changes in the affected
maintenance documents.
    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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 5 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with 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 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71883; File No. SR-CBOE-2014-034]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change Relating to Market-Maker Appointment Adjustments

April 7, 2014.
    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 April 1, 2014 Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. 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 add language to Rule 8.3 (Appointment of
Market-Makers) to add clarity to when a Market-Maker must notify the
Exchange of an appointment adjustment in advance of an upcoming tier
rebalance. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, at the Commission's Public Reference Room, and on the
Commission's Web site (http://www.sec.gov).

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 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 Exchange Rule 8.3 regarding Market-
Maker appointment cost rebalances and the resulting assignment of
additional Trading Permits when necessary. Currently, Rule 8.3 provides
that appointments to act as a Market-Maker ``cost'' different amounts
for different classes (with no classes costing more than 1.0). Each
Trading Permit held by a Market-Maker has an appointment credit of 1.0.
The Exchange, on a quarterly basis, can rebalance the tiers into which
different classes fall, which means that the Exchange can elect to move
a class from one tier to another. As a result, the appointment costs
for the corresponding classes could change.
    The Exchange recently added to Rule 8.3(c)(iv) language stating
that ``If a Market-Maker with a VTC appointment holds a combination of
appointments whose aggregate revised appointment cost is greater than
the number of Trading Permits that Market-Maker holds, the Market-Maker
will be assigned as many Trading Permits as necessary to ensure that
the Market-Maker no longer holds a combination of appointments whose
aggregate revised appointment cost is greater than the number of
Trading Permits that Market-Maker holds.'' \3\ However, this proposed
change can be read to give Market-Makers until 11:59 p.m. on the day
before a rebalance takes effect to change their appointments in order
to no longer hold a combination of appointments whose aggregate revised
appointment cost is greater than the number of Trading Permits that
Market-Maker holds. Under this reading, the Exchange's Registration
Department may not be provided enough time to review and manage such
changes. As such, the Exchange proposes to set a cutoff time of 3:30
p.m. Central Time to make such changes in order to provide the Exchange
with the requisite time.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act No. 71223 (January 2, 2014), 79
FR 1412 (January 8, 2014) (SR-CBOE-2013-109), which also stated that
the Exchange shall announce rebalances via Regulatory Circular at
least ten (10) business days before the rebalance takes effect.
    \4\ Following the proposed change, the last sentence of Rule
8.3(c)(iv) would read:
     ``If, after 3:30 p.m. (Central Time) on the business day before
a rebalance is to take effect, a Market-Maker with a VTC appointment
holds a combination of appointments whose aggregate revised
appointment cost is greater than the number of Trading Permits that
Market-Maker holds, the Market-Maker will be assigned as many
Trading Permits as necessary to ensure that the Market-Maker no
longer holds a combination of appointments whose aggregate revised
appointment cost is greater than the number of Trading Permits that
Market-Maker holds.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange
and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\5\
Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \6\ requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, 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.
Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \7\ requirement that the rules of
an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \7\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change will ensure that the Exchange's
Registration Department will be provided enough time to review and
manage appointment changes without imposing an unnecessary burden on
Market-Makers (since they will still be provided with at least ten
business days of notice prior to a rebalance taking effect), thereby
removing impediments to and perfecting the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system. The proposed change will apply to
all Market-Makers (who are the only market participants who have class
appointments).

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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. CBOE does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any burden on intramarket competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act because it will apply to all Market-Makers (who are the only
market participants who have class appointments). CBOE does not believe
that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on intermarket
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act because the proposed rule change only applies to
the Market-Maker appointment process on CBOE and is not intended for
competitive purposes, but to streamline an Exchange process.

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

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

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\ Because
the 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, the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's 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
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings

under Section 19(b)(2)(B) \11\ of the Act to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-0397; Directorate Identifier 2014-SW-048-AD;
Amendment 39-18107; AD 2015-04-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
(Sikorsky) Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Sikorsky Model S-76A, B, C, and D helicopters. This AD requires
inspecting the tail rotor drive shaft (TDS) flange-to-shaft attachment
hardware for correct assembly and correct torque of the fasteners. If
there is a discrepancy, this AD requires, before further flight,
applying an index mark to the flange and TDS, inspecting the flange and
shaft for a crack, fracture, wear, and certain measurements, and
replacing any part that does not meet the approved criteria before
further flight. This AD is prompted by a partial loss of tail rotor
drive resulting in a forced landing. The actions specified by this AD
are intended to prevent failure at the flange-to-shaft attachment, loss
of a tail rotor drive, and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 12, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document as of March 12, 2015.
    We must receive comments on this AD by April 27, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments prior to it becoming effective. However, we
invite you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written
comments, data, or views. We also invite comments relating to the
economic, environmental, energy, or federalism impacts that resulted
from adopting this AD. The most helpful comments reference a specific
portion of the AD, explain the reason for any recommended change, and
include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not contain
duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of written
comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should
submit them only one time. We will file in the docket all comments that
we receive, as well as a report summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerning this rulemaking during the
comment period. We will consider all the comments we receive and may
conduct additional rulemaking based on those comments.

Discussion

    We are adopting a new AD for certain Sikorsky Model S-76A, B, C,
and D helicopters. This AD requires inspecting the TDS flange-to-shaft
attachment hardware at four locations for correct installation and
correct torque of the fasteners. If there is movement, misalignment of
the torque stripe, a misassembled part, or torque of less than 105
inch-pounds on any nut, this AD requires applying an index mark to the
flange and shaft to make sure the flange is reinstalled in the same
position to maintain shaft balance, and, before further flight,
inspecting the flange and shaft for a crack, fracture, wear on the
mounting hole, and diameter measurements, and replacing the TDS if the
flange or stub does not meet the inspection criteria. This AD is
prompted by a partial loss of tail rotor drive resulting in a forced
landing, and instances where TDS flange-to-shaft attachment hardware
was found to be loose or fractured. The actions specified by this AD
are intended to detect loose or fractured hardware and prevent failure
of the TDS at the flange-to-shaft attachment, loss of a tail rotor
drive, and

subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

FAA's Determination

    We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type
designs.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Sikorsky issued Alert Service Bulletin ASB 76-66-52, Basic Issue,
on April 1, 2014, which specifies a one-time inspection of the TDS
flange-to-shaft attachment hardware for proper installation and torque.
If there is movement, torque stripe misalignment, or misassembled
hardware, the ASB specifies removing and returning the hardware to
Sikorsky with certain forms and replacing hardware with airworthy TDS
hardware before returning the helicopter to service. The ASB also
specifies either replacing the TDS or inspecting the flange and shaft
for a crack, fracture, wear of the mounting hole, and diameter and
replacing any part that does not meet the approved criteria. The ASB
states there were instances where the TDS flange-to-shaft attachment
hardware was found loose or fractured. This service information is
reasonably available; see ADDRESSES for ways to access this service
information.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires, within 30 days:
     Inspecting each TDS flange attachment hardware at all four
locations for looseness and torque stripe misalignment, inspecting each
nut to determine whether it can be rotated by hand, determining whether
the hardware is assembled correctly, and determining the torque of each
nut.
     If there is no looseness, torque stripe misalignment,
incorrect hardware assembly, and if no nut can be rotated by hand and
the torque of any nut is not less than 105 inch-pounds, no further
action is required by this AD.
     If there is looseness, torque stripe misalignment,
incorrect hardware assembly, a nut rotated by hand, or the torque of
any nut is less than 105 inch-pounds:
    [cir] Applying an index mark to the flange and shaft, unbolting and
removing the flange from the shaft, visually inspecting each radius
washer for wear or fretting, and replacing any washer with wear or
fretting.
    [cir] Inspecting the flange and shaft for a crack, fracture, wear
on the mounting hole, and diameter, and replacing the TDS with an
airworthy TDS if the flange and shaft fail any of the inspection
criteria.
    [cir] Aligning index marks, installing the flange on the shaft, and
coating the grip length of each bolt and the contact surfaces on each
radius washer and washer with epoxy polyamide primer.
    [cir] Torquing each nut.

Differences Between This AD and the Service Information

    The AD does not require returning the unairworthy parts with
certain forms to the manufacturer as does the service information.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 260 helicopters of U.S. Registry.
We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order to
comply with this AD. We estimate $85 per work-hour for labor. We
estimate 2.2 work-hours to inspect the hardware assembly and torque at
a cost of $187 per helicopter and $48,620 for the fleet. We estimate
2.2 work-hours if the hardware is replaced and $1,200 for the required
parts, for a total cost of $1,387 per helicopter.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    Providing an opportunity for public comments before adopting these
AD requirements would delay implementing the safety actions needed to
correct this known unsafe condition. Therefore, we find that the risk
to the flying public justifies waiving notice and comment before
adopting this rule because the required corrective actions must be done
within 30 days, a very short time period based on the average flight-
hour utilization rate of these helicopters used for commuter, air
ambulance, and offshore operations.
    Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate
adoption of this AD, we 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 less than 30 days.

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, 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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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 an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

procedure.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective
September 15, 2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700

feet above the surface within a 6-mile radius of Jetmore Municipal
Airport, Jetmore, KS, to accommodate new standard instrument approach
procedures. Controlled airspace is needed for the safety and management
of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Section 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this 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.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites interested people to take part in this rulemaking
by sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date for
comments. The FAA may change these special conditions based on the
comments received.

Background

    On December 6, 2013, Boeing applied for a change to Type
Certificate No. T00001SE for structure-mounted airbags installed in the
Boeing Model 777-9 airplane. The application date was extended to March
30, 2016 based on Boeing's request. The Boeing Model 777-9 airplane,
which is a derivative of the Boeing Model 777 airplane currently
approved under Type Certificate No. T00001SE, is a twin-engine,
transport-category airplane with seating for 495 passengers and a
maximum takeoff weight of 775,000 pounds.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.101, Boeing must show that the Model 777-9 airplane, as
changed, continues to meet the applicable provisions of the regulations
listed in Type Certificate No. T00001SE, or the applicable regulations
in effect on the date of application for the change, except for earlier
amendments as agreed upon by the FAA.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (e.g., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Boeing Model 777-9 airplane
because of a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are
prescribed under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same novel or
unusual design feature, or should any other model already included on
the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the same novel or
unusual design feature, these special conditions would also apply to
the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Boeing Model 777-9 airplane must comply with the fuel-
vent and exhaust-emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34, and the
noise-certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36.
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Boeing Model 777-9 airplane will incorporate the following
novel or unusual design features:
    Airbags mounted to structure to prevent head injury.

Discussion

    Boeing proposes to install structure-mounted airbags instead of
inflatable lap belts as a means to protect each occupant from serious
injury in the event of an emergency landing, as required by Sec.
25.562(c)(5), on 777-9 airplanes.
    Such use of airbags to provide injury protection for the occupant
is a novel or unusual feature for this airplane model, and the
applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or
appropriate airworthiness standards for these design features.
Therefore, special conditions are needed to address requirements
particular to installation of airbags in this manner.
    Special conditions exist for airbags installed on seat belts, known
as inflatable lap belts, which have been installed on Boeing passenger
seats. Structure-mounted airbags, although a novel design, were first
introduced on Jetstream Aircraft Limited Model 4100 series airplanes,
which resulted in issuance of Special Conditions 25-ANM-127 on May 14,
1997. These special conditions supplemented 14 CFR part 25 and, more
specifically, Sec. Sec.  25.562 and 25.785.
    The structure-mounted airbag, similar to the inflatable lap belt,
is designed to limit occupant forward excursion in the event of an
emergency landing. These airbags will reduce the potential for serious
injury, including reducing the head-injury criterion measurement
defined in part 25. However, structure-mounted airbags function
similarly as automotive airbags, where the airbag deploys from
furniture located in front of the passenger, relative to the airplane's
direction of flight, forming a barrier between the structure and
occupant. Also, unlike the inflatable lap belt, the structure-mounted
airbag does not move with the occupant. To account for out-of-position
and brace-position occupants, the airbag is designed to conform to the
curvature of the exposed structure in the head-strike zone.
    Because the airbag system is essentially a single-use device, it
could deploy under crash conditions that are not sufficiently so severe
as to require the injury protection the airbag system provides. Because
an actual crash is frequently composed of a series of impacts before
the airplane comes to rest, a larger impact following the initial
impact could render the airbag system unavailable. This potential
situation does not exist with standard upper-torso restraints, which
tend to provide continuous protection regardless of impact severity, or
number of impacts, in a crash event. Therefore, the airbag-

system installation should be such that it provides protection, when it
is required, by not expending its protection when it is not required.
If the airbag deployment threshold is unnecessarily low, the airbag
would need to continue to provide protection when an impact requiring
protection occurs.
    These proposed special conditions are based upon special conditions
25-605-SC for the Boeing Model 787-9 airplanes equipped with B/E
Aerospace Super-Diamond model business-class passenger seats and
associated furniture. The proposed special conditions contain the
additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary
to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the
existing airworthiness standards.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Boeing Model 777-9 airplane. Should Boeing apply at a later date for a
change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating
the same novel or unusual design feature, these special conditions
would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on one model series of airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

Authority Citation

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Proposed Special Conditions

0
Accordingly, the FAA proposes the following special conditions as part
of the type certification basis for Boeing Model 777-9 airplanes.
    1. The applicant must demonstrate by test that the structure-
mounted airbag will deploy and provide protection under crash
conditions where it is necessary to prevent serious injury to a 50th
percentile occupant, as specified in Sec.  25.562. The means of
protection must provide a consistent approach to energy absorption for
a range of occupants, from a two-year-old child to a 95th percentile
male.
    2. The structure-mounted airbag must provide adequate protection
for each occupant regardless of the number of occupants of the seat
assembly.
    3. The structure-mounted airbag system must not be susceptible to
inadvertent deployment as a result of wear and tear, or inertial loads
resulting from in-flight or ground maneuvers (including gusts and hard
landings) likely to be experienced in service.
    4. Deployment of the structure-mounted airbag must not introduce
hazards or injury mechanisms to the seated occupant, including
occupants in the brace position. Deployment of the structure-mounted
airbag must also not result in injuries that could impede rapid exit
from the airplane.
    5. The applicant must demonstrate that an inadvertent deployment
that could cause injury to a standing or sitting person is improbable.
Inadvertent deployment must not cause injury to anyone who may be
positioned close to the structure-mounted airbag (e.g., seated in an
adjacent seat, or standing adjacent to the airbag installation or the
subject seat). Cases where a structure-mounted airbag is inadvertently
deployed near a seated occupant or an empty seat must be considered.
    6. Effects of the deflection and deformation of the structure to
which the airbag is attached must be taken into account when evaluating
deployment and location of the inflated airbag. The effect of loads
imposed by airbag deployment, or stowed components where applicable,
must also be taken into account.
    7. Inadvertent deployment of the structure-mounted airbag during
the most critical part of flight will either not cause a hazard to the
airplane or is extremely improbable.
    8. The applicant must demonstrate that the structure-mounted
airbag, when deployed, does not impair access to the seatbelt- or
harness-release means, and must not hinder evacuation. This will
include consideration of adjacent seat places and the aisle.
    9. The airbag, once deployed, must not adversely affect the
emergency-lighting system, and must not block escape-path lighting to
the extent that the light(s) no longer meet their intended function.
    10. The structure-mounted airbag must not impede occupants' rapid
exit from the airplane 10 seconds after its deployment.
    11. Where structure-mounted airbag systems are installed in or
close to passenger evacuation routes (other than for the passenger seat
for which the airbag is installed), possibility of impact on emergency
evacuation (e.g., hanging in the aisle, potential trip hazard, etc.)
must be evaluated.
    12. The airbag electronic system must be designed to be protected
from lightning per Sec.  25.1316(b), and high-intensity radiated fields
per Sec.  25.1317(c).
    13. The structure-mounted airbag system must not contain or release
hazardous quantities of gas or particulate matter into the cabin.
    14. The structure-mounted airbag installation must be protected
from the effects of fire such that no hazard to occupants will result.
    15. The inflatable bag material must meet the 2.5-inches-per-minute
horizontal flammability test defined in 14 CFR part 25, appendix F,
part I, paragraph (a)(1)(iv).
    16. The design of the structure-mounted airbag system must protect
the mechanisms and controls from external contamination associated with
that which could occur on or around passenger seating.
    17. The structure-mounted airbag system must have a means to verify
the integrity of the structure-mounted airbag activation system.
    18. The applicant must provide installation limitations to ensure
installation compatibility between the seat design and opposing
monument or structure.
