ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -200CB, and -300 series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating the passenger
service units (PSUs) and life vest panels became separated from their
attachments during several survivable accident sequences. This AD
requires installing lanyard assemblies on the PSUs, and, for certain
airplanes, on the life vest panels and video panels as applicable. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing
Company Model 757-200, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on December 30, 2020 (85 FR 86515).
The NPRM was prompted by a report indicating that the PSUs and life
vest panels became separated from their attachments during several
survivable accident sequences. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require
installing lanyard assemblies on the PSUs, and, for certain airplanes,
on the life vest panels and video panels as applicable. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the PSUs, life vest panels, and video panels
becoming detached and falling into the cabin, which could lead to
passenger injuries and impede egress during an evacuation.
    The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The
Boeing Company Model 757-200, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes. The
SNPRM published in the Federal Register on November 17, 2021 (86 FR
64089). The SNPRM was prompted by a report indicating that the PSUs and
life vest panels became separated from their attachments during several
survivable accident sequences and a determination that additional
airplanes are also subject to the identified unsafe condition. The
SNPRM proposed to require installing lanyard assemblies on the PSUs,
and, for certain airplanes, on the life vest panels and video panels as
applicable and to expand the applicability to include those additional
airplanes. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the PSUs, life vest
panels, and video panels becoming detached and falling into the cabin,
which could lead to passenger injuries and impede egress during an
evacuation.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from the Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA), and United Airlines who supported the SNPRM
without change.
    The FAA received additional comments from Aviation Partners Boeing
and Boeing. The following presents the comments received on the SNPRM
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that the installation of winglets
per Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01518SE does not affect the
accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions.
    The FAA agrees with the commenter that STC ST01518SE does not
affect the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions.
Therefore, the installation of STC ST01518SE does not affect the
ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD. The FAA has not
changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Change Certain Language

    Boeing asked that the FAA replace the word ``would'' with ``could
potentially'' in the FAA clarification ``a PSU panel that detached and
fell below BWL 265.7 would cause injury to passengers'' as specified in
the Clarification for PSU Installation section of the SNPRM. Boeing
stated that the passenger seat located below an attached PSU panel
could be unoccupied or could be occupied by a person short in stature,
and in those cases the PSU panel would not strike and cause injury to a
passenger.
    The FAA acknowledges and agrees with the commenter's request,
because the proposed language provides clarity. However, the comment
section in the SNPRM is not carried over into this

final rule. Therefore, the FAA has not changed this AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Except for minor editorial changes, and any other changes
described previously, this AD is adopted as proposed in the SNPRM. None
of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin
757-25-0315 RB, Revision 2, dated March 17, 2021. This service

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Medical Devices; Reports of Corrections and Removals--21 CFR Part 806

OMB Control Number 0910-0359--Extension

    FDA is requesting approval for the collection of information
regarding reports of corrections and removals required under part 806
(21 CFR part 806), which implements section 519(g) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360i(g)), as amended
by the Food and Drug Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) (Pub. L. 105-
115). A description of the information collection requirements are
provided as follows:
    Under Sec.  806.10 (21 CFR 806.10), within 10 working days of
initiating any action to correct or remove a device to reduce a risk to
health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FD&C Act
caused by the device which may present a risk to health, device
manufacturers or importers must submit a written report to FDA of the
correction or removal.
    Under Sec.  806.20(a), device manufacturers or importers that
initiate a correction or removal that is not required to be reported to
FDA must keep a record of the correction or removal.
    The information collected in the reports of corrections and
removals will be used by FDA to identify marketed devices that have
serious problems and to ensure that defective devices are removed from
the market. This will assure that FDA has current and complete
information regarding these corrections and removals to determine
whether recall action is adequate. Failure to collect this information
would prevent FDA from receiving timely information about devices that
may have a serious effect on the health of users of the devices.
    Reports of corrections and removals may be submitted to FDA via
mail or using FDA's Electronic Submission Gateway (ESG). We estimate
that approximately 99 percent of submitters will use the ESG. Our
estimate of the reporting and recordkeeping burden is based on Agency
records and our experience with this program, as well as similar
programs that utilize FDA's ESG.
    For respondents for who submit corrections and removals using the
electronic process, the operating and maintenance costs associated with
this information collection are approximately $30 per year to purchase
a digital verification certificate (certificate must be valid for 1 to
3 years). This burden may be minimized if the respondent has already
purchased a verification certificate for other electronic submissions
to FDA. However, FDA is assuming that all respondents who submit
corrections and removals using the electronic process will be
establishing a new WebTrader account and purchasing a digital
verification certificate. We therefore estimate the total operating and
maintenance costs to be $30,660 annually (1,022 respondents x $30).
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs associated with this collection of information.
\2\ Totals may not sum due to rounding.
\3\ We estimate that approximately 99 percent of respondents will submit corrections and removals using the electronic process. The actual burden hours
  for setup of the electronic process listed in the reporting burden table are divided by 3 to avoid double counting in the Office of Information and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulation (at 5 CFR
1320.8(d), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
    (iv) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g. permitting electronic
submission of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed collection of information for which
the agency is seeking approval from OMB:
    Title: Consumer Complaint Information.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Chapter 301 of title 49 of the United States Code, the
Secretary of Transportation is authorized to require manufacturers of
motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment to conduct owner
notification and remedy, i.e., a recall campaign, when it has been
determined that a safety defect exists in the performance,
construction, components, or materials in motor vehicles and motor
vehicle equipment. To make this determination, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) solicits information from vehicle
owners which is used to identify and evaluate possible safety-related
defects and provide the necessary evidence of the existence of such a
defect. Under the Authority of chapter 301 of Title 49 of the United
States Code, the Secretary of Transportation is authorized to require
manufacturers of motor vehicle and motor vehicle equipment which do not
comply with the applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards or
contains a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety to notify each
owner that their vehicle contains a safety defect or noncompliance.
Also, the manufacturer of motor vehicle replacement equipment presented
for remedy pursuant to such notification shall cause such defect or
noncompliance to be remedied without charge. In the case of a motor
vehicle presented for remedy pursuant to such notification, the
manufacturer shall cause the vehicle remedied by whichever of the
following means he elects: (1) By repairing such vehicle; (2) by
replacing such motor vehicle without charge; or (3) by refunding the
purchase price less depreciation. To ensure these objectives are being
met, NHTSA audits recalls conducted by manufacturer. These audits are
performed on a randomly selected number of vehicle owners for
verification and validation purposes.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 11,814.
    Number of Respondents: 47,256.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56173; File No. SR-NYSE-2007-67]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to NYSE Rule 2
(``Member,'' ``Membership,'' ``Member Firm,'' etc.)

July 31, 2007.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on July 24, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been substantially 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 proposed rule change reflects changes in the requirements for
membership in the Exchange as a result of the proposed consolidation of
the member firm regulatory functions of NASD and NYSE Regulation, Inc.
(``NYSE Regulation'') that will result in a combined self-regulatory
organization that will be called Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (``FINRA'').\3\ The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.nyse.com), at the

principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ On July 26, 2007, the Commission approved a proposed rule
change filed by NASD to amend NASD's Certificate of Incorporation to
reflect its name change to the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc., or FINRA, in connection with the consolidation of
the member firm regulatory functions of NASD and NYSE Regulation,
Inc. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56146 (July 26, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 NYSE 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 NYSE 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange is proposing to amend its membership rules to reflect
the changes to the regulatory landscape that will result from the
proposed consolidation of the member firm regulatory functions of NASD
and NYSE Regulation.
    On November 28, 2006, NYSE Regulation and NASD announced a plan to
consolidate their member regulation operations into a combined
organization that will be the sole U.S. private-sector provider of
member firm regulation for securities firms that conduct business with
the public (the ``Transaction'').\4\ The objective of the Transaction
is to increase consistency and efficiency of member firm regulation,
including examination, enforcement, and rulemaking, for the benefit of
individual investors and overall market integrity. It is also an
objective of the Transaction to reduce the regulatory and financial
burdens placed on member firms as a result of duplicate self-regulatory
structures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ On July 26, 2007, the Commission approved amendments to
NASD's By-Laws to implement governance and related changes to
accommodate the consolidation of the member firm regulatory
functions of NASD and NYSE Regulation, Inc. See Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 56145 (July 26, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The concentration of member firm regulation in FINRA will further
the goal that the NYSE, NASD and the securities industry have already
been working on: To harmonize the member firm rules of the two
organizations to eliminate overlapping but slightly different (or
differently interpreted) rules. Because that harmonization process will
not be complete by the closing of the Transaction, the Transaction
contemplates a transition period during which FINRA will continue to
apply to NYSE member organizations the member firm rules of the NYSE.
    To effect this transition, FINRA will adopt the relevant NYSE
member firm rules. For administrative convenience, FINRA will
accomplish this by incorporating these rules into FINRA's rulebook,
necessitating that the rules also remain as rules of the NYSE. The NYSE
and FINRA will execute a Rule 17d-2 agreement that will allocate the
regulatory responsibility for those rules to FINRA.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Pursuant to the Rule 17d-2 Agreement, NYSE and NASD will
share responsibility for certain non-exclusive common rules,
including rules relating to supervision, books and records, and
conduct. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56148 (July 26,
2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A necessary part of this arrangement is that NYSE will require all
organizations that currently are or propose to become NYSE member
organizations to also be members of FINRA. It is also intended that
FINRA will become the designated examining authority (``DEA'') for all
NYSE member organizations.\6\ So, for example, NYSE rules will provide
that it will be a condition to purchase of a NYSE trading license that
the organization is a member of FINRA.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Historically, NYSE was the DEA for virtually all its member
organizations. As part of the Transaction, it is contemplated that
the Commission will name FINRA as the DEA for all the organizations
for which NYSE was the DEA.
    \7\ NYSE has also allowed an organization to be an NYSE
``regulation only'' member without purchasing a trading license, if
the organization qualifies and subjects itself to NYSE regulatory
jurisdiction. After the Transaction, NYSE will continue to provide
this status to an organization that is or becomes a FINRA member and
subjects itself to NYSE jurisdiction, even though the organization
does not have a NYSE trading license.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Most NYSE member organizations are already also members of NASD,
and thus will automatically be members of FINRA. There are
approximately 95 NYSE member organizations that are not currently NASD
members, and these are the organizations that will be required to
become FINRA members in order to remain NYSE member organizations, and
remain entitled to utilize a NYSE trading license (``NYSE-only member
organizations'').\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ NASD has filed with the Commission a rule filing to specify
the terms on which these member organizations will be accommodated
with FINRA membership. Pursuant to that proposed rule filing, NASD
is proposing to establish Interpretive Material 1013-1 (``IM-1013-
1''), which creates a membership waive-in process for NYSE-only
member organizations, and Interpretative Material Section 4(e) to
Schedule A of the NASD By-Laws, which creates a membership
application fee waiver for those NYSE firms that apply for
membership pursuant to IM-1013-1. See SR-NASD-2007-056.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To address these changes, the Exchange proposes amending the
definition of ``member organization'' in NYSE Rule 2(b). Under the
Exchange's current rules, NYSE Rule 2(b) defines the term ``member
organization'' as a ``registered broker or dealer (unless exempt
pursuant to Securities Exchange Act of 1934) approved by the Exchange
and authorized to designate an associated natural person to effect
transactions on the floor of the Exchange or any facility thereof.''
\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In 2006, in connection with the creation of NYSE Group,
Inc., which is now known as NYSE Euronext, Inc., a publicly-traded
corporation, the Exchange amended its rules to reflect the
separation of trading privileges at the Exchange from equity
ownership in the Exchange. Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53382
(February 27, 2006), 71 FR 11251 (March 6, 2006) (File No. SR-NYSE-
2005-77).

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Rule 2(b) to provide that
membership in FINRA is a condition to becoming a member organization of
NYSE. NYSE intends to retain for itself the discretion to deem an
applicant unacceptable for NYSE membership, and is retaining Rule 308
(Acceptability Proceedings) for this purpose.
    The Exchange recognizes that the proposed amendments to both the
NYSE's and NASD's membership rules will not be approved as of the date
of the closing of the Transaction and therefore, as of the closing of
the Transaction, NYSE-only firms may not yet be approved FINRA members.
Accordingly, the Exchange proposes that NYSE-only member organizations
be provided a 60-day grace period within which they must apply for and
be approved for FINRA membership. This grace period would run from the
later of the date of Commission approval of either this proposed filing
or NASD's proposed filing to amend its membership rules.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange states that the statutory basis for proposed rule
change is the requirement under section 6(b)(5) \10\ of the Act.
Section 6(b)(5) requires, among other things, that the rules of an
exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange 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.

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

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

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the NYSE consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-1430; Airspace Docket No. 11-ACE-23]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Grinnell, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Grinnell Regional
Airport, Grinnell, IA, by removing reference to the Grinnell NDB from
the legal description, and amends the geographic coordinates of the
airport. The Grinnell NDB has been decommissioned and is not needed as
part of the airspace description. This action does not change the
boundaries or operating requirements of the airspace.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, July 26, 2012. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone 817-321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by removing reference to the Grinnell NDB from the legal
description of Grinnell Regional Airport, Grinnell, IA, and amends the
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database. The Grinnell NDB has been decommissioned and is
not needed as part of the airspace description. This is an
administrative change and does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or
operating requirements of the airspace, therefore, notice and public
procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends controlled airspace at Grinnell Regional Airport,
Grinnell, IA.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

Adoption of the Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS

C. 20460 Re: EPA HQ OPP 2005 0061; Azinphos methyl Ecological Risk Assessment, Grower Impact Assessments; Notice of Availability Dear Margaret:

The U. S. Apple Association ( USApple) is disappointed that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) has denied our request for more time to evaluate and comment on the azinphos methyl ecological risk assessment and apple benefits assessment in response to the agency's Dec. 7, 2005 Federal Register notice.

As we discussed, this is a complex national issue that requires considerable communication and coordination with our regional partners and growers across the country. We had hoped the agency would recognize the difficulty the short response time imposes on the apple industry, especially since the holiday season would shorten the comment period.

While you indicated in our telephone conversation that the agency would not extend the comment period, you also indicated that EPA has the ability to accept and consider information submitted to the agency after comment period has closed. USApple will make every effort to meet the Feb. 6 deadline for submission of regulatory comments. However, we wanted to inform you that we may not be able to provide all of the information by that deadline. As such, based on my conversation with you, it is our understanding that EPA will accept and consider information USApple submits on this matter after the proposed deadline.

Please contact me by telephone at ( 800) 781 4443 or via e mail at jcranney@ usapple. org as soon as possible if the agency will not accept and consider information we provide after the Feb. 6 deadline.

Sincerely yours,
