Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew exemptions for seven
individuals from the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs) that interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers have ``no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of
epilepsy or any other condition which is likely to cause loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to control a CMV.'' The exemptions
enable these individuals who have had one or more seizures and are
taking anti-seizure medication to continue to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce.

DATES: Each group of renewed exemptions were applicable on the dates
stated in the discussions below and will expire on the dates provided
below.

B. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(6), DOT solicits comments
from the public on the exemption request. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal information the commenter
provides, to www.regulations.gov. As described in the system of records
notice DOT/ALL 14 (Federal Docket Management System), which can be
reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/privacy/privacy-act-system-records-notices, the comments are searchable by the name of
the submitter.

II. Background

    On January 5, 2023, FMCSA published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for seven individuals from the epilepsy
and seizure disorders prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) to operate a
CMV in interstate commerce and requested comments from the public (88
FR 904). The public comment period ended on February 6, and five
comments were received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
determined that renewing these exemptions would likely achieve a level
of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would
be achieved by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(8).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding epilepsy
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(8) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition which
is likely to cause the loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to
control a CMV.
    In addition to the regulations, FMCSA has published advisory
criteria \1\ to assist medical examiners in determining whether drivers
with certain medical conditions are qualified to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These criteria may be found in APPENDIX A TO PART 391--
MEDICAL ADVISORY CRITERIA, section H. Epilepsy: Sec.  391.41(b)(8),
paragraphs 3, 4, and 5, which is available on the internet at
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2015-title49-vol5/pdf/CFR-2015-title49-vol5-part391-appA.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.

IV. Conclusion

    Based on its evaluation of the seven renewal exemption applications
and the fact that no comments were received, FMCSA announces its
decision to exempt the following drivers from the epilepsy and seizure
disorders prohibition in Sec.  391.41(b)(8).
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following
groups of drivers received renewed exemptions in the month of January
and are discussed below.
    As of January 1, 2023, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), the following six individuals have satisfied the renewal
conditions for obtaining an exemption from the epilepsy and seizure
disorders prohibition in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers (88 FR
904):

Robert Davidson (ID)
Jordan Hyster (OH)
Everett Letourneau (ND)
Douglas Simms (NC)
Donald Smith (NY)
Ronald Wagner (OH)

    The drivers were included in docket number FMCSA-2015-03023, FMCSA-
2016-0008, FMCSA-2018-0056, or FMCSA-2019-0035. Their exemptions were
applicable as of January 1, 2023 and will expire on January 1, 2025.
    As of January 11, 2023, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315(b), Robert Schauer (IA) has satisfied the renewal conditions
for obtaining an exemption from the epilepsy and seizure disorders
prohibition in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers (88 FR 904).
    This driver was included in docket number FMCSA-2016-0008. Their
exemption was applicable as of January 11, 2023 and will expire on
January 11, 2025.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b), each exemption will be valid
for 2 years from the effective date unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
The exemption will be revoked if the following occurs: (1) the person
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
prior to being granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP17-133-000]

Northwest Pipeline LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed North Fork Nooksack Line
Lowering Project Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the North Fork Nooksack Line
Lowering Project (Nooksack Lowering Project or Project) involving
construction and operation of facilities by Northwest Pipeline LLC
(Northwest) in Whatcom County, Washington. The Commission will use this
EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is
in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. You can make a difference by providing us with
your specific comments or concerns about the project. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they
need to evaluate in the EA. To ensure that your comments are timely and
properly recorded, please send your comments so that the Commission
receives them in Washington, DC on or before June 8, 2017.
    If you sent comments on this project to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on April 6, 2017, you will need to refile those
comments in Docket No. CP17-133-000 to ensure they are considered as
part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if
the Commission approves the project, that approval conveys with it the
right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to
produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with
state law.
    Northwest provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the
FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do
I Need To Know?'' This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked
questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate
in the Commission's proceedings. It is also available for viewing on
the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov).

Public Participation

    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. The

Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert
staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please carefully follow these instructions
so that your comments are properly recorded.
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for submitting brief,
text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can file your comments electronically by using the eFiling
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments in a
variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your submission.
New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on

(CP17-133-000) with your submission: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A,
Washington, DC 20426.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Northwest proposes to remove, replace, and lower about 1,700 feet
of 30-inch-diameter pipeline in the north floodplain of the North Fork
Nooksack River. The project also includes removal of about 1,550 feet
of previously abandoned in place 26-inch-diameter pipeline that will
become exposed during the replacement of the 30-inch pipeline. The
Project is located in Whatcom County, near Deming, Washington.
According to Northwest the Project would: (1) ensure system
reliability; (2) preserve service continuity; and 3) to comply with
Whatcom County requirements to complete a long-term solution and reduce
long-term impediments to facilitate future natural channel migration.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to all those
receiving this notice in the mail and are available at www.ferc.gov
using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the Commission's Public
Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call
(202) 502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to
the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb a total of
about 24.3 acres of land for lowering of the 30-inch diameter pipeline
and removal of 26-inch-diameter pipeline. No new permanent easement
would be required. Following construction, all construction work areas
would be restored and revert to former uses. The pipeline corridor in
the Project area includes three existing pipelines and work would be
completed within its existing right-of-way. About 100 percent of the
proposed pipeline route parallels its existing pipeline.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\2\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of
the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ We, us, and our refer to the environmental staff of the
Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     land use;
     water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     cultural resources;
     vegetation and wildlife including migratory birds;
     air quality and noise;
     endangered and threatened species;
     public safety; and
     cumulative impacts.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. Depending on
the comments received during the scoping process, we may also publish
and distribute the EA to the public for an allotted comment period. We
will consider all comments on the EA before making our recommendations
to the Commission. To ensure we have the opportunity to consider and
address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the
Public Participation section, beginning on page 2.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues of
this project to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the
EA.\3\ Agencies that would like to request cooperating agency status
should follow the instructions for filing comments provided under the
Public Participation section of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and to
solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested
Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on
historic properties.\4\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO as the project
develops. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EA for this project will document our
findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status
of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for

project purposes, or who own homes within certain distances of
aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits comments on the project.
We will update the environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds
to ensure that we send the information related to this environmental
review to all individuals, organizations, and government entities
interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed project.
    If we publish and distribute the EA, copies will be sent to the
environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would
prefer to receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD
version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please
return the attached Information Request (appendix 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an intervenor which is an official party to the Commission's
proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process and are
able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard by the courts if
they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling. An intervenor
formally participates in the proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are in the Document-
less Intervention Guide under the e-filing link on the Commission's Web
site. Motions to intervene are more fully described at http://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

surface in connection with natural gas storage, or oil or natural gas
production; or (2) for the purpose of enhanced oil or natural gas
recovery; or (3) for the storage of hydrocarbons, which are liquid at
standard temperature and pressure. Idaho received primary
implementation and enforcement authority (primacy) for Class I, II,
III, IV, and V injection wells under the Safe Drinking Water Act,
section 1422, on July 22, 1985. Idaho has since maintained primacy for
these injection well classes.
    The voluntary transfer of authority for the UIC Class II program to
the EPA will allow the EPA to issue Class II permits in Idaho. The EPA
will be responsible for the direct implementation of the Class II
underground injection control program in Idaho, including permitting,
compliance, and enforcement responsibilities, pursuant to the SDWA and
federal UIC regulations.
    On November 27, 2017, the EPA published a Federal Register proposed
rule (82 FR 55968), providing notice of the transfer of Idaho's UIC
program for Class II injection wells from Idaho to the EPA and
concurrently issuing a proposed rule to amend EPA's UIC regulations to
reflect such transfer. The EPA stated that if requested, a public
hearing would be held. After receiving multiple hearing requests, the
EPA held the public hearing on January 8, 2018, in the city of Boise,
Idaho, as detailed in the proposed rule. At the public hearing, and
during the 45-day comment period, which ended on January 11, 2018, the
EPA received 414 comments from 387 individual commenters. The EPA has
reviewed all public testimony and comments on the proposed rule and has
determined that the revisions to 40 CFR part 147 will be finalized in
this rule as originally proposed.

II. Legal Authorities

    A state with an approved primacy program may voluntarily transfer
UIC program responsibilities to the EPA, pursuant to 40 CFR 145.34(a).
The regulations require that the EPA provide notice of such transfer in
the Federal Register at least 30 days before the transfer is to occur.
40 CFR 145.34(a)(3). The EPA published a Federal Register proposed rule
(82 FR 55968) on November 27, 2017, containing that notice. The
regulations do not provide

for opportunity to comment on whether to transfer, and accordingly, the
EPA did not take comment on such transfer.
    EPA's regulations at 40 CFR part 147 set forth the applicable UIC
programs for each of the states. This rule makes ministerial revisions
to these regulations to reflect the transfer. Specifically, the rule
revises 40 CFR part 147, subpart N, to indicate that the Class II UIC
program for Idaho is to be directly implemented by the EPA and consists
of the UIC program requirements of 40 CFR parts 124, 144, 146, and 148.
The EPA took comment only on these revisions.
    Section 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5. U.S.C.
553(d), provides that the effective date of a substantive rule must be
at least 30 days after publication of the rule in the Federal Register,
except ``as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause.'' The EPA
has determined that there is good cause for making this final rule
effective immediately upon publication because the transfer of primacy
back to the EPA simply returns direct implementation and enforcement
authority of the UIC Program for Class II wells in Idaho to the EPA.
There are currently no Class II permits in effect in Idaho and,
therefore, there is no need to transfer or reissue any existing state-
issued Class II UIC permits as federal Class II UIC permits. The EPA
finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d).

III. Public Comments Received on the Proposed Rule and EPA's Response
to Comments

    On November 27, 2017, the EPA issued a proposed rule (82 FR 55968)
and requested public comment. The public comment period was open for 45
days and ended on January 11, 2018. The EPA received 414 comments from
387 individual commenters, including comments given at the January 8,
2018, public hearing as well as one comment submitted after the close
of the public comment period. Of these comments, only a minority were
identified as containing material that was determined to be within the
scope of the proposed rule revision. The comments the EPA received and
EPA's responses are available in EPA's Docket No. EPA-HQ-OW-2017-0584.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.

B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs

    This action is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action
because this action is not significant under Executive Order 12866.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the PRA. OMB has previously approved the information collection
activities contained in the existing regulations and has assigned OMB
control number 2040-0042.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no
net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This rule does not impose any
requirements on small entities; this action withdraws a state program
and therein transfers direct implementation of the Class II UIC program
to the EPA. We have therefore concluded that this action will have no
net regulatory burden for any directly regulated small entities.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. This rule does not impose any mandates on small
entities; this action withdraws a state program and therein transfers
direct implementation of the Class II UIC program to the EPA.

F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects 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. This
action contains no federal mandates for state and local governments and
does not impose any enforceable duties on state and local governments.
This action merely withdraws a state program (at the voluntary request
from Idaho) and therein transfers implementation of the Class II UIC
program to the EPA.

G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This action contains no federal mandates for
tribal governments and does not impose any enforceable duties on tribal
governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health & Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it transfers a state program.

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    The EPA has determined that this action is not subject to Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) because it does not
establish an environmental health or safety standard. This rule does
not impose any health or safety standards; this action transfers a
state program and therein transfers direct implementation of the Class
II UIC program to the EPA.

L. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the United States. The CRA allows the issuing agency to make a rule
effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if

the agency makes a good cause finding. The EPA has made a good cause
finding for making this final rule effective immediately upon
publication, per section 553(d)(3) of the Administrative Procedure Act,
5. U.S.C. 553(d)(3), as discussed in section II, including the basis
for that finding.

Protection Agency amends 40 CFR part 147 as follows:

PART 147--STATE, TRIBAL, AND EPA-ADMINISTERED UNDERGROUND INJECTION
CONTROL PROGRAMS

0
1. The authority citation for part 147 is revised to read as follows:

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 300h et seq.; and 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.

Subpart N--Idaho

0
2. In Sec.  147.650 revise the section heading and the introductory
text to read as follows:

    The UIC program for Class I, III, IV, and V wells in the state of
Idaho, other than those on Indian lands, is the program administered by
the Idaho Department of Water Resources, approved by the EPA pursuant
to section 1422 of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Notice of this approval
was published in the Federal Register on June 7, 1985; the effective
date of this program is July 22, 1985. This program consists of the
following elements, as submitted to the EPA in Idaho's program
application. Note: Because the EPA subsequently transferred the Class
II UIC program from the Idaho Department of Water Resources to the EPA,
references to Class II in the following elements are no longer relevant
or applicable for federal UIC purposes.
* * * * *

0
3. Revise Sec.  147.651 to read as follows:

Sec.  147.651   EPA-administered program--Class II wells and all wells
on Indian lands.

    (a) Contents. The EPA administers the UIC program for all classes
of wells on Indian lands and for Class II wells on non-Indian lands in
the state of Idaho. This program consists of the UIC program
requirements of 40 CFR parts 124, 144, 146, 148, and any additional
requirements set forth in the remainder of this subpart. Injection well
owners and operators, and the EPA shall comply with these requirements.
    (b) Effective dates. The effective date of the UIC program for
Indian lands in Idaho is June 11, 1984. The effective date of the UIC
program for Class II wells on non-Indian lands in Idaho is July 30,
2018.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8 and 787-9 airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by a report that some inboard and outboard
trailing edge flap rotary actuators may have been assembled with an
incorrect no-back brake rotor-stator stack sequence during
manufacturing. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the
inboard and outboard flap trailing edge rotary actuator for any
discrepant rotary actuator. For discrepant rotary actuators, this
proposed AD would require replacing the rotary actuator, or determining
the flight cycles on the rotary actuator and doing related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing
this AD to detect and replace rotary actuators having incorrect
assembly, which could cause accelerated unit wear that will eventually
reduce braking performance. This degradation could lead to loss of no-
back brake function and reduced controllability of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 26, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2016-7419;
Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-189-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We received a report that some inboard and outboard trailing edge
flap rotary actuators may have been assembled with an incorrect no-back
brake rotor-stator stack sequence during manufacturing. This condition,
if not corrected, could result in accelerated unit wear that will
eventually reduce braking performance. This degradation could lead to
loss of no-back brake function and reduced controllability of the
airplane.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270032-00,
Issue 001, dated November 3, 2015. The service information describes
procedures for an inspection of the inboard and outboard flap rotary
actuator for any discrepant rotary actuator, and procedures for
replacing the rotary actuator, or determining the flight cycles on the
rotary actuator and applicable related investigative and corrective
actions. This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing 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 the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described

previously. For information on the procedures and compliance times, see
this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-7419.
    ``Related investigative actions'' are follow-on actions that (1)
are related to the primary action, and (2) are actions that further
investigate the nature of any condition found. Related investigative
actions in an AD could include, for example, inspections.
    ``Corrective actions'' are actions that correct or address any
condition found. Corrective actions in an AD could include, for
example, repairs.

Costs of Compliance

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

                                                 Estimated Costs

                                       hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary on-condition
actions that would be required based on the results of the proposed
inspection. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that
might need this 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2016-7419; Directorate Identifier
2015-NM-189-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by August 26, 2016.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 787-8 and 787-9
airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270032-00, Issue 001, dated
November 3, 2015.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight
Control Systems.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a report that some inboard and outboard
trailing edge flap rotary actuators may have been assembled with an
incorrect no-back brake rotor-stator stack sequence during
manufacturing. We are issuing this AD to detect and replace rotary
actuators having incorrect assembly, which could cause accelerated
unit wear that will eventually reduce braking performance. This
degradation could lead to loss of no-back brake function and reduced
controllability of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Inspection and Other Actions

    Within 60 months after the effective date of this AD, do an
inspection of the inboard and outboard trailing edge flap rotary
actuator for any discrepant rotary actuator, in accordance with the
Accomplishment

Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270032-
00, Issue 001, dated November 3, 2015. If any discrepant rotary
actuator is found, within 60 months after the effective date of this
AD, do the actions specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this
AD, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB270032-00, Issue 001, dated
November 3, 2015.
    (1) Replace the discrepant rotary actuator.
    (2) Check the maintenance records to determine the flight cycles
of each discrepant rotary actuator and, within 60 months after the
effective date of this AD, do all applicable related investigative
and corrective actions.

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested
using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14
CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local
Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (i)(1) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair required by this AD if it is approved by the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization
(ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO to make
those findings. For a repair method to be approved, the repair must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) For service information that contains steps that are labeled
as Required for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs
(h)(4)(i) and (h)(4)(ii) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. An AMOC is required for any deviations to RC steps,
including substeps and identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0052; Directorate Identifier 2013-NE-02-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-535E4-37, RB211-535E4-B-37, RB211-535E4-C-
37, and RB211-535E4-B-75 turbofan engines. This proposed AD was
prompted by RR updating the low-cycle-fatigue life analysis for the low
pressure turbine (LPT) stage 2 discs. This proposed AD would require
removal of affected parts using a drawdown plan. We are proposing this
AD to prevent LPT stage 2 disc failure, which could result in
uncontained engine damage and damage to the airplane.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD 2012-0266, dated December 18, 2012, to correct an unsafe condition
for the specified products. That mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) states:

    A recent re-evaluation of Critical Part lives carried out by
Rolls-Royce revealed changes to the thermal profile and stresses in
certain features of the low pressure turbine (LPT) Stage 2 disc.
These changes have resulted in a reduction of the cyclic life of the
LPT stage 2 discs.
    Operation of an engine equipped with a Critical Part that has
exceeded its cyclic life may result in Critical Part failure,
consequent release of high energy debris, damage to the aeroplane
and/or injury to occupants.

We are proposing this AD to prevent LPT stage 2 disc failure, which
could result in uncontained engine damage and damage to the airplane.
You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    RR has issued Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) No.
RB.211-72-AH029, dated December 13, 2012. The NMSB introduces new LPT
stage 2 disc part lives that will be the drawdown plan retirement
thresholds.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of this Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of the
United Kingdom and is approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the European Community, EASA
has notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of
the same type design. This proposed AD would require removal of
affected LPT stage 2 discs using a drawdown plan.

Differences Between the AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    This AD differs from EASA AD 2012-0266, dated December 18, 2012, as
follows: The EASA AD specifies replacing the affected critical parts
during the module disassembly if the subsequent, anticipated time on
wing (time before next shop visit) plus current life of the part will
exceed the new provisional lives published in the RR Alert NMSB No.
RB.211-72-AH029, dated December 13, 2012. We specify replacing at next
shop visit (defined by the separation of a major flange).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 220 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. The average labor rate is $85
per hour. We do not estimate any labor cost associated with this
proposed AD because the affected parts are replaced during scheduled
shop visits. Prorated cost of the parts adjusted for lost life is about
$8,290 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $1,823,800.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    (3) Will not 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 a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Rolls-Royce plc: Docket No. FAA-2013-0052; Directorate Identifier
2013-NE-02-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by June 4, 2013.

(b) Affected Airworthiness Directives (ADs)

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-535E4-37,
RB211-535E4-B-37, RB211-535E4-C-37, and RB211-535E4-B-75 turbofan
engines.

(d) Reason

    This AD was prompted by RR updating the low-cycle-fatigue life
analysis for the low pressure turbine (LPT) stage 2 discs. We are
issuing this AD to prevent LPT stage 2 disc failure, which could
result in uncontained engine damage and damage to the airplane.

(e) Actions and Compliance

    (1) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, re-
calculate the cyclic life since new of each LPT stage 2 disc. Use
the part lives and prorated life formulas in Appendices 1, 2, and 3
of RR Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) No. RB.211-72-
AH029, dated December 13, 2012, to make that calculation.
    (2) Assign the Maximum Approved Lives defined in Appendix 1 of
Alert NMSB No. RB.211-72-AH029, dated December 13, 2012, to the LPT
stage 2 disc based on the flight profile that will be flown.
    (3) For engines that have an engine shop visit (ESV) after the
effective date of this AD, remove the LPT stage 2 disc from service
before the part exceeds the maximum approved life assigned in
paragraph (e)(2) of this AD.
    (4) For those engines that do not have an ESV after the
effective date of this AD before the part exceeds the part life
assigned in paragraph (e)(2) of this AD, remove the part from
service at the next ESV.

(f) Installation Prohibition

    With the exception of parts that can be reworked using RR
Service Bulletin No. RB.211-72-D365, Revision 5, dated December 13,
2012, do not reinstall any part removed per this AD into any engine.

(g) Definitions

    For the purpose of this AD, an ESV is whenever engine
maintenance performed prior to reinstallation requires the
separation of a pair of major mating engine module flanges.
Separation of flanges solely for the purpose of shipment without
subsequent internal maintenance is not a shop visit.

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    The Manager, Engine Certification Office, FAA, may approve AMOCs
to this AD. Use the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to make your
request.

(i) Related Information

    (1) For more information about this AD, contact Robert Green,
Aerospace Engineer, Engine Certification Office, FAA, Engine &
Propeller Directorate, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, MA
01803; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email:

Protests

    Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under
the NGA,\2\ any person \3\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization
will be considered by the Commission.

municipalities, and other entities. 18 CFR 385.102(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\4\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is December 1, 2023. A protest may also
serve as a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also
seeks to be an intervenor.

Interventions

    Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
    To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \5\ and the regulations under the NGA \6\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is December 1, 2023. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 18 CFR 385.214.
    \6\ 18 CFR 157.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene that are
filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.

Comments

    Any person wishing to comment on the project may do so. The
Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments
on or before December 1, 2023. The filing of a comment alone will not
serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party,
you must intervene in the proceeding.
