Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents in Tobacco Products
and Tobacco Smoke; Established List

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice; establishment of a list.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is establishing a list
of harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) in tobacco
products and tobacco smoke (the established HPHC list) as required by
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carol Drew, Center for Tobacco
Products, Food and Drug Administration, 9200 Corporate Blvd.,
Rockville, MD 20850-3229,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    On June 22, 2009, the President signed the Family Smoking
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) (Pub. L. 111-
31) into law. The Tobacco Control Act amended the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
301 et seq.) by, among other things, adding a new chapter granting FDA
important new authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and
distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health. Section
904(e) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 387d(e)), as added by the Tobacco
Control Act, requires FDA to establish, and periodically revise as
appropriate, ``a list of harmful and potentially harmful constituents,
including smoke constituents, to health in each tobacco product by
brand and by quantity in each brand and subbrand.''
    The Agency has considered comments solicited from the public, as
well as scientific and other information, and has developed a list of
tobacco product constituents it currently believes are harmful or
potentially harmful to health. We are establishing this list as table 1
of this document as required by section 904(e) of the FD&C Act. In this
document, we are also providing information about related actions,
including the Agency's guidance discussing the meaning of HPHC, the
criteria the Agency used to help develop the established HPHC list, the
reasons the Agency may add or remove constituents from the established
HPHC list consistent with the directive of section 904(e), and the
addition of quantities to the list.

II. Background

    On January 31, 2011, FDA announced the availability of a guidance
entitled `` `Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents' in Tobacco
Products as Used in Section 904(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act'' (76 FR 5387) (available at www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation) (HPHC final guidance). This
guidance represents the Agency's current thinking on the meaning of the
term ``harmful and potentially harmful constituent'' in the context of
implementing section 904(e) of the FD&C Act. It states: ``FDA believes
that the phrase `harmful and potentially harmful constituent' includes
any chemical or chemical compound in a tobacco product or in tobacco
smoke: (a) That is or potentially is inhaled, ingested, or absorbed
into the body; and (b) that causes or has the potential to cause direct
or indirect harm to users or non-users of tobacco products'' (HPHC
final guidance at page 2). The HPHC final guidance includes examples of
constituents that have the potential to cause direct harm and examples
of constituents that have the potential to cause indirect harm:
``Examples of constituents that have the `potential to cause direct
harm' to users or non-users of tobacco products include constituents
that are toxicants, carcinogens, and addictive chemicals and chemical
compounds. Examples of constituents that have the `potential to cause
indirect harm' to users or non-users of tobacco products include
constituents that may increase the exposure to the harmful effects of a
tobacco product constituent by: (1) Potentially facilitating initiation
of the use of tobacco products; (2) potentially impeding cessation of
the use of tobacco products; or (3) potentially increasing the
intensity of tobacco product use (e.g., frequency of use, amount
consumed, depth of inhalation). Another example of a constituent that
has the `potential to cause indirect harm' is a constituent that may
enhance the harmful effects of a tobacco product constituent'' (HPHC
final guidance at page 2).
    On May 1, 2010, a subcommittee of the Tobacco Products Scientific
Advisory Committee (TPSAC),\1\ the Tobacco Product Constituents
Subcommittee (the subcommittee), was established and charged with
making preliminary recommendations to TPSAC on the HPHCs in tobacco
products and tobacco smoke. The subcommittee held public meetings on
June 8 and 9, 2010, and July 7, 2010. Prior to these meetings, FDA
solicited data, information, and/or views on HPHCs in tobacco products
and tobacco smoke from the public.\2\ At these meetings the
subcommittee:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Information about TPSAC as well as information and
background materials on TPSAC meetings are available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/TobaccoProductsScientificAdvisoryCommittee/default.htm.
    \2\ See 75 FR 22147 (April 27, 2010) and 75 FR 33814 (June 15,
2010). Information submitted to the public docket for each of these
meetings is available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/TobaccoProductsScientificAdvisoryCommittee/ucm222977.htm and http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/TobaccoProductsScientificAdvisoryCommittee/ucm222978.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Reviewed example lists of HPHCs in tobacco products and
tobacco smoke developed by other countries and organizations;
     Identified criteria for selecting carcinogens, toxicants,
and addictive chemicals or chemical compounds in tobacco products and
tobacco smoke;
     Identified chemicals or chemical compounds that met the
identified criteria;
     Confirmed the existence of methods for measuring each
chemical or chemical compound identified; and
     Identified other potentially important information or
criteria for measuring HPHCs in tobacco products or tobacco smoke, such
as smoking machine regimens to be used in measuring HPHCs.

    The subcommittee made preliminary recommendations to TPSAC.
    On August 30, 2010, TPSAC held a public meeting to deliberate on
the recommendations from the subcommittee. Prior to this meeting, FDA
published a notice in the Federal Register soliciting data,
information, and/or views from the public on the issues to be discussed
at this meeting.\3\ FDA asked what criteria TPSAC recommended the
Agency use for determining whether a constituent is a carcinogen,
toxicant, or addictive chemical or chemical compound that should be
included on the established HPHC list. As a result of its discussions,
TPSAC recommended to the Agency the following criteria for selecting
the established HPHC list:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See 75 FR 47308 (August 5, 2010). Information submitted by
the public to the docket for this meeting is available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/TobaccoProductsScientificAdvisoryCommittee/ucm232799.htm.

 Constituents identified as known or probable human carcinogens
by either the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or the National Toxicology
Program;
 Constituents identified as possible human carcinogens by IARC
or EPA and/or identified by the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health as potential occupational carcinogens;
 Constituents identified by EPA or the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) as having adverse respiratory
or cardiac effects;
 Constituents identified by the California Environmental
Protection Agency as reproductive or developmental toxicants;
 Constituents having, based upon a review of the peer-reviewed
literature, evidence of at least two of the following measures of abuse
liability (addiction):
    [cir] Central nervous system activity;
    [cir] Animal drug discrimination;
    [cir] Conditioned place preference;
    [cir] Animal self-administration;
    [cir] Human self-administration;
    [cir] Drug liking;
    [cir] Signs of withdrawal; and
 Constituents banned in food (for smokeless tobacco products).

    On August 12, 2011, FDA published a notice in the Federal Register
(76 FR 50226) (the August 12 notice \4\) stating that the Agency had
tentatively concluded that it should consider a constituent meeting the
criteria listed in that document to be harmful or potentially harmful,
such that the constituent should be included on the HPHC list, unless
other scientific information obtained by or submitted to the Agency
shows that the constituent is not, in fact, harmful or potentially
harmful. The August 12 notice also included a list of constituents that
was developed by applying this approach to available information and
requested that interested persons submit scientific and other
information concerning the harmful and potentially harmful constituents
in tobacco products and tobacco smoke. The August 12 notice stated that
the Agency was particularly interested in comments on the following
issues: (1) The criteria FDA should use in determining whether a
constituent is harmful or potentially harmful such that it should be
included on the established HPHC list; (2) whether any chemicals or
chemical compounds not listed should be added because they are harmful
or potentially harmful, including supporting scientific or other
information; and/or (3) whether any chemicals or chemical compounds
should be removed because they are not harmful or potentially harmful,
including supporting scientific or other information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents in Tobacco
Products and Tobacco Smoke; Request for Comments,'' 76 FR 50226
(August 12, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Agency has considered all of the comments submitted to the
docket for the August 12 notice and has reviewed scientific and other
information submitted to support these comments. Based on the
information before it and its own knowledge and expertise, FDA
concludes that it should consider a constituent meeting the criteria
proposed in the August 12 notice to be harmful or potentially harmful,
such that it should be included on the HPHC list, unless other
scientific information obtained by or submitted to the Agency shows
that the constituent is not, in fact, harmful or potentially harmful.
Applying these criteria, and after consideration of comments and
supporting information submitted to the docket for the August 12
notice, FDA has developed the established list of harmful and
potentially harmful constituents in tobacco products and tobacco smoke
as table 1 of this document.
    Three constituents included on the list we published for comment in
the August 12 notice are not included in table 1. Based on information
submitted to the docket and our review of the scientific literature, we
have determined not to include dibenz[a,h]acridine, dibenz[a,j]acridine
and 7H-dibenz[c,g]carbazole on the established HPHC list at this time
because there is not sufficient evidence that they are found in tobacco
products or tobacco smoke. This decision is based on information
presently before us, and may be revised, consistent with the directive
in section 904(e) of the FD&C Act that FDA periodically revise the
established list as appropriate.
    We note that certain metals on the established HPHC list
(beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury, nickel, and
selenium) may exist in tobacco products and tobacco smoke in the
elemental form and/or in compounds. Both the elemental and compound
forms are harmful and/or potentially harmful under our criteria.
Identification of a metal on the established HPHC list therefore refers
to the metal regardless of whether it is found in its elemental form or
as a metal-bound compound. For example, beryllium includes both
elemental beryllium and beryllium found in beryllium compounds.
    FDA recognizes that the established HPHC list may not include all
constituents that are ``harmful or potentially harmful.'' For example,
several of the criteria described in this document depend on a chemical
or chemical compound being both studied and listed by another entity,
such as constituents identified by EPA or ATSDR as having adverse
respiratory or cardiac effects. The fact that a constituent has not
been so identified by EPA or ATSDR could be because it has not been
adequately studied or has not yet been systematically reviewed by
relevant Agencies, rather than because the constituent does not have
adverse respiratory or cardiac effects. Moreover, FDA has only focused
on the five disease outcomes of cancer, cardiovascular disease,
respiratory effects, developmental or reproductive effects, and
addiction. FDA intends to review other disease outcomes to assess
whether additional chemicals or chemical compounds in tobacco products
or tobacco smoke are harmful or potentially harmful constituents that
contribute to the risk of other diseases.
    In addition, the criteria FDA has selected are limited to those
that relate to carcinogens, toxicants, and addictive chemicals or
chemical compounds in tobacco products and tobacco smoke. We intend to
consider whether additional criteria should be selected to help
identify other classes of harmful or potentially harmful chemicals and
chemical compounds for inclusion on the established HPHC list, and
whether individual constituents should be added. Just as these types of
new information may lead to additions to the established HPHC list, FDA
recognizes

that it may become aware of new scientific information about
constituents of tobacco products that make it appropriate to remove one
or more of the constituents that appear on the list. Thus, FDA will
continue to review scientific information about tobacco product
constituents. For these reasons and consistent with the directive of
section 904(e) of the FD&C Act, FDA intends to periodically revise as
appropriate the established HPHC list.
    Currently, the established HPHC list in table 1 does not contain
quantities of the HPHCs by brand and subbrand. Beginning June 22, 2012,
sections 904(a)(3) and 904(c)(1) of the FD&C Act require tobacco
product manufacturers and importers or their agents to submit a list of
constituents, including smoke constituents as applicable, identified by
FDA as harmful or potentially harmful to health in each of their
tobacco products, by brand and by quantity in each brand and subbrand.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is publishing a
notice announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry to
assist persons reporting to FDA the quantities of harmful and
potentially harmful constituents in tobacco products and tobacco smoke.
FDA intends to use the data and information submitted under sections
904(a)(3) and 904(c)(1) to, as directed by section 904(d)(1) of the
FD&C Act, place on public display the list of HPHCs established under
section 904(e), by brand and by quantity in each brand and subbrand, in
a format ``that is understandable and not misleading to a lay person.''

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31380; Amdt. No. 3966]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These
regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised
criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace
System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities,
adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These
changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective July 19, 2021. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of July 19, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Information Services, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
    For information on the availability of this material at NARA, email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or go to: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center online at nfdc.faa.gov
to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedures
and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Registry Bldg. 29, Room 104,
Oklahoma City, OK 73169. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by amending
the referenced SIAPs. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP
is listed on the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National
Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20. The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the
need for a special format make their verbatim publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction
on charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the
advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and publication
of the complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form
documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections, and specifies the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with
their applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the
airport and its location, the procedure and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97
of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on criteria
contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures
(TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    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.
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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F series
airplanes; Model 757 airplanes; and Model 767-200, -300, -300F, and -
400ER series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of uncommanded
autopilot engagement events resulting in incorrect stabilizer trim
adjustment during takeoff. This AD requires, depending on the model/
configuration, installing an on-ground stabilizer autotrim inhibit
system, relays and related wiring to open and close the flight control
computer (FCC) analog output, and new operational program software
(OPS) into the FCCs. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 31, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

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 certain The Boeing Company
Model 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F series airplanes; Model 757
airplanes; and Model 767-200, -300, -300F, and -400ER series airplanes.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on December 23, 2015 (80 FR
79735) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by reports of uncommanded
autopilot engagement events resulting in incorrect stabilizer trim
adjustment during takeoff. The NPRM proposed to require, depending on
the model/configuration for Model 747 airplanes, installing an on-
ground stabilizer autotrim inhibit system, doing routine functional
testing of the system, and doing corrective actions if necessary; for
Model 757 airplanes and Model 767 airplanes, installing relays and
related wiring to open and close the FCC analog output that controls
the stabilizer trim adjustment, doing routine functional testing of the
on-ground auto stabilizer trim inhibit system, and doing corrective
actions if necessary; and for Model 767-300, and -300F series
airplanes, installing new OPS into the FCCs. We are issuing this AD to
prevent stabilizer mistrim, which could result in a high-speed rejected
takeoff and runway overrun, or reduced controllability of the airplane
after takeoff due to insufficient pitch control.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the NPRM

    The Airline Pilots Association, International stated that it fully
supports the intent of the NPRM.

Requests To Withdraw the NPRM

    United Parcel Service (UPS) requested that the NPRM be withdrawn
until the actual root cause of the unsafe condition can be determined
and a validated and confirmed solution is developed.
    FedEx Express (FedEx) requested that we withdraw the NPRM. FedEx
stated that the burden of the actions proposed in the NPRM is not
justified based on data presented in Boeing Fleet Team Digest 757-FTD-
22-12001 or its operational experience. FedEx believes this is an
extremely isolated and unlikely anomaly on the Model 757 fleet. FedEx
stated that it operates over 100 Model 757 aircraft and has completed
over 210,000 flight cycles with no reports of uncommanded autopilot
engagement.
    We disagree with the commenters' request to withdraw the NPRM. The
quantitative and qualitative risks analyzed for this identified unsafe
condition present an unacceptable risk that must be addressed on both
passenger and freighter models. The manufacturer also considers the
condition a safety issue and has developed an on-ground stabilizer
autotrim inhibit system that addresses the unsafe condition. We have
determined that it is necessary to proceed with issuance of this AD.

Requests To Clarify Root Cause

    Boeing requested that we revise the Discussion section of the NPRM.
Boeing

acknowledged that the root cause is unknown, but requested that we
revise the speculation that ``the erroneous autopilot engage request is
believed to have come from the mode control panel (MCP) and to have
been caused by contamination within the MCP.'' Boeing requested that we
instead indicate that possible failures in the autopilot flight
director system can cause an uncommanded engagement of the autopilot.
Boeing stated that the revised statement would be less speculative.
    We partially agree with the commenter's request. We agree that the
revised statement would be less speculative. However, since the
pertinent part of the Discussion section is not repeated in this final
rule, no change is necessary to this final rule.
    One commenter, Geoffrey Barrance, requested that we take immediate
action to require examination for contamination of all MCPs on all
affected airplanes. Mr. Barrance stated that the exposure to the
problem will persist until all (or some critical part) of the actions
specified by the NPRM are completed.
    We do not agree with the commenter's request. As stated above, the
manufacturer and the FAA agree that pointing to MCP contamination as
the root cause is speculative. We concur with the manufacturer's
conclusion that the on-ground stabilizer autotrim inhibit system of
this AD mitigates possible failures in the autopilot flight director
system. The compliance times specified in this AD are established to
ensure an acceptable level of risk. We have not changed this final rule
in this regard.

Request To Revise SUMMARY

    Boeing requested that we revise the SUMMARY of the NPRM to describe
the specific Model 767 airplanes identified in the applicability of
this AD, rather than using the term ``Model 767 airplanes.'' Boeing
stated that this will clarify that the applicability will not apply to
future Model 767 series airplanes, such as the Model 767-2C, which will
be designed to inhibit autopilot engagement on the ground with the
flaps down, preventing the unsafe condition addressed by the NPRM.
    We agree with the commenter's request. In the SUMMARY of this final
rule we refer to ``certain'' airplanes, and we identify the subgroup of
Model 767 airplanes by referring to the effectivity of the service
information in paragraph (c) of this AD. We are not including future
production airplanes in the applicability of this AD.

Request To Clarify Differences Between NPRM and Service Information

    United Airlines (UAL) requested that we revise the NPRM to specify
using Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 747-22-2256, Revision
1, dated January 6, 2016 (``SASB 747-22-2256 R1''), and that we give
credit for Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 747-22-2256, dated
March 6, 2015.
    We agree with UAL's request. We have revised paragraphs (c)(1) and
(g) of this AD to specify using SASB 747-22-2256 R1, as an appropriate
source of service information for accomplishing the required actions in
these paragraphs. SASB 747-22-2256 R1 specifies doing functional
testing of the automatic stabilizer trim inhibit system. Since
paragraph (g) of the proposed AD specified doing the functional testing
of the automatic stabilizer trim inhibit, there is no increase in the
economic burden on any operator or increase of the scope of this AD. We
added credit for using Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 747-
22-2256, dated March 6, 2015, to paragraph (k) of this AD.
    EVA Airways (EVA) requested that we consider the complexity of
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 747-22-2256, dated March 6,
2015, and noted that Boeing Information Notice 747-22-2256 IN 02, dated
June 10, 2015, has been issued to revise Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 747-22-2256, dated March 6, 2015.
    We agree with the commenter's request. As previously stated, we
have revised this AD to specify SASB 747-22-2256 R1 as an appropriate
source of service information. This service information has
incorporated the information in Boeing Information Notice 747-22-2256
IN 02, dated June 10, 2015. No further change is necessary in this
regard in this final rule.
    Boeing requested that we delete the ``Differences Between this
Proposed AD and the Service Information'' section in the NPRM, which
stated that, for Model 747 airplanes, the proposed AD would require
doing post-modification routine functional testing of the on-ground
stabilizer auto trim inhibit system, and corrective actions if
necessary, at intervals not to exceed 1,500 flight hours. Boeing stated
that SASB 747-22-2256 R1 now includes the functional testing of the on-
ground stabilizer auto trim inhibit system.
    We agree with Boeing that SASB 747-22-2256 R1 specifies doing the
functional testing of the on-ground auto stabilizer trim inhibit system
specified in ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service
Information'' in the NPRM, and in paragraph (i) of this AD. However,
the ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service
Information'' section is not repeated in this final rule. We have not
changed this final rule in this regard.

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

    Aviation Partners Boeing (APB) stated that the installation of
winglets per Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01518SE does not
affect the accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions.
    We agree with APB that STC ST01518SE does not affect the
accomplishment of the manufacturer's service instructions for Model 757
airplanes. Therefore, the installation of STC ST01518SE does not affect
the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD for Model 757
airplanes. Therefore, we have not changed this AD in this regard.

Requests To Address Airplanes Equipped With Aviation Partners Boeing
(APB) Winglets

    All Nippon Airways (ANA), American Airlines (AA), APB, Boeing,
Thompson Airways, UAL, and UPS requested that we revise the NPRM to
address the Model 767 airplanes equipped with winglets installed under
APB STC ST01920SE. The commenters explained that the Model 767 equipped
with APB winglets have a different compliance time and modification
specified in APB Service Bulletin AP767-22-005, Revision 1, dated June
16, 2015 (``SB AP767-22-005 R1''), than those that have not been
modified by the APB STC.
    We agree with the commenters' requests to revise this AD to address
Model 767 airplanes equipped with APB winglets. The Model 767-300 and -
300F series airplanes identified in Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 767-22-0143, Revision 1, dated July 6, 2015 (``SASB 767-22-
0143 R1''), that have been modified with the installation of APB
winglets are identified in SB AP767-22-005 R1.
    We have revised applicability paragraph (c)(3) of this AD to
exclude Model 767-300 and -300F series airplanes that are identified in
SB AP767-22-005 R1. We have added a new paragraph (c)(5) to this AD to
include Model 767-300 and -300F series airplanes with winglets
installed per STC ST01920SE having part number (P/N) 2276-COL-AF2-03
installed, as identified in APB Service Bulletin AP767-22-005, dated
May 8, 2015; or SB AP767-22-005 R1.

    We have redesignated paragraph (j) of the proposed AD as paragraph
(j)(1) of this AD and added paragraph (j)(2) to this AD to require the
actions specified in SB AP767-22-005 R1, for Model 767 airplanes that
are identified in paragraph (c)(5) of this AD. These actions were
previously proposed in the NPRM; therefore, there is no increase in
scope of the requirements of this AD and no supplemental comment period
is necessary. We have also added paragraph (j)(3) to this AD which
states that, for airplanes identified in paragraph (c)(5) of this AD,
no additional action is required by this AD.

Requests To Reference Revised Service Information and Provide Credit

    AIRDO Company, ANA, Boeing, British Airways, Thomson Airways, and
UAL requested that we revise the NPRM to specify using Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 757-22-0096, Revision 1, dated February 8,
2016 (``SASB 757-22-0096 R1''); Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 767-22-0143, Revision 2, dated May 25, 2016 (``SASB 767-22-
0143 R2''); certain Boeing Information Notices that provide revisions
to the service information; and to provide credit for actions using the
previous issues of service information.
    We agree with the commenters' requests to reference the revised
service information, which incorporates the revisions in the Boeing
Information Notices, and to provide credit. This service information
incorporates small editorial changes and requires no additional work on
airplanes that have had prior revisions of this service information
accomplished on them. We have revised paragraphs (c)(2) and (h) of this
AD to reference SASB 757-22-0096 R1. We have revised paragraphs (c)(3)
and (i) of this AD to reference SASB 767-22-0143 R2. In paragraph (k)
of this AD, we have added credit for previous actions using Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-22-0096, dated March 23, 2015;
and Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 767-22-0143, Revision 1,
dated July 6, 2015.

Request To Approve Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC)

    AAL requested that we approve SB AP767-22-005 R1, or later FAA-
approved revisions, as an AMOC to the NPRM requirements. AAL also
requested that we approve later FAA-approved revisions to the service
information in the NPRM.
    We do not agree with the commenter's requests. As stated
previously, we have included SB AP767-22-005 R1 as a source of service
information in this AD. AMOCs provide an alternative method of
compliance to the methods required to be used in the associated AD. An
AMOC is issued only after an AD has been issued and only after data are
provided to show that the proposed alternative adequately addresses the
unsafe condition.
    Referring to specific service information in an AD and using the
phrase ``or later FAA-approved revisions'' violates Office of the
Federal Register regulations for approving materials that are
incorporated by reference. However, operators may request approval to
use a later revision of the referenced service information as an AMOC,
under the provisions of paragraph (l) of this AD. We have not changed
this AD in this regard.

Requests To Revise Compliance Times

    AAL, AIRDO Company, FedEx, British Airways, EVA Airways, Thomson
Airways, and UAL requested that we revise the NPRM compliance times.
The revision requests for the Model 747 airplanes 24-month compliance
time range from 48 months to 60 months to the next scheduled heavy
airplane check. The revision requests for the Model 757 airplanes 24-
month compliance time range from 36 months to 48 months. The revision
requests for the Model 767 airplanes 24-month compliance time is 36
months. UAL requested that operators installing the APB winglets in the
near future, have 24 months instead of 16 months after the effective
date of the AD to comply with the AD requirements. The commenters
requested the compliance time changes to accommodate maintenance
schedules, parts availability, and airplane down times.
    We do not agree with the commenters' compliance time requests. In
developing appropriate compliance times, we considered the safety
implications, normal maintenance schedules for timely accomplishment of
the modification, and parts availability. In light of these items, we
have determined that the compliance times, as proposed, represent the
maximum interval of time allowable for the affected airplanes to
continue to safely operate before the modification is done. In
addition, since maintenance schedules vary among operators, there would
be no assurance that the airplane would be modified during that maximum
interval. The manufacturer has concurred with the compliance times as
proposed. We have not changed this final rule in this regard. However,
under the provisions of paragraph (l) of this AD, we will consider
requests for approval of an extension of the compliance time if
sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the new compliance
time would provide an acceptable level of safety. We have not changed
this final rule in this regard.

Request To Conduct Compliance Time Risk Assessment

    Mr. Geoffrey Barrance requested that we do a risk assessment and
probability safety analysis in setting the compliance time. Mr.
Barrance stated that steps must be immediately taken to assess whether
the specified compliance time is adequate to keep the fleet risk within
proper limits.
    We agree with the commenter. We have done an assessment of the risk
posed by the identified unsafe condition. The compliance times
following the effective date of this AD were determined to be
appropriate. The manufacturer has concurred with the compliance times
as proposed. No change to this final rule is needed in this regard.

Request To Revise Airplane Checklist

    Mr. Geoffrey Barrance requested that, until the modification of any
specific airframe has been accomplished, we include an additional step
in the pre-flight checklist to check that the stabilizer is in the
correct position.
    We agree that this step is necessary. However, the existing pre-
flight checklist already requires checking the stabilizer position
prior to departure. Therefore, no change is needed to this AD in this
regard.

Request To Revise Cost Estimate

    UAL requested that we revise the cost estimate to reflect the
additional financial burden imposed on the operator in order to comply
with the NPRM. UAL stated that the compliance times do not coincide
with UAL's maintenance intervals for heavy aircraft checks. UAL
explained that, as a result, it will need to take a number of airplanes
out of service for several days.
    We do not agree with the commenter's request. In establishing the
requirements of all ADs, we consider the cost impact to operators for
parts and labor costs. We attempt to set compliance times that
generally coincide with operators' maintenance schedules where possible
in consideration of the safety risk. However, because operators'
schedules vary substantially, we cannot accommodate every operator's
optimal scheduling in each AD. Each AD has an allowable provision for
individual operators to obtain approval for extensions of compliance
times, based on a showing that the extension provides an acceptable
level of safety.

We have not changed this AD regarding this issue.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these 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.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all available costs in our
cost estimate.
    We have received no definitive data that will enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in 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

    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 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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) has received a request for a waiver of compliance from certain
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is
described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.

Pan Am Railways

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0107]

    The Pan Am Railways (Pan Am) seeks a waiver of compliance with the
Locomotive Safety Standards, 49 CFR 229.129(b)(2), which requires that
the sound level of horns of locomotives manufactured before September
18, 2006, be tested before June 24, 2010. Pan Am states in their
request that difficulties in meeting the horn requirements for tests
made at the rear of their locomotives, even after reconfiguring the
existing horns, has created a need to replace horns on the majority of
their locomotives, which cannot be done by June 24, 2010. Pan Am
requests that the requirement to complete testing of horns on
locomotives built prior to September 18, 2006, be extended 130 days, to
November 1, 2010.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-
2010-0107) and may be submitted by any of the following methods:

    Communications received within 30 days of the date of this notice
will be considered by FRA. FRA reserves the right to grant relief in
response to this request prior to the expiration of the comment period.
Any relief provided will be contingent upon FRA's consideration of any
relevant comments submitted to the docket before the close of the
comment period. Comments received after that date will be considered as
far as practicable. All written communications concerning these
proceedings are available for examination during regular business hours
