[Docket No. NHTSA-2007-0004]

Notice of Receipt of Petition for Decision That Nonconforming
1999-2007 Yamaha Drag Star 1100 Motorcycles Are Eligible for
Importation

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of petition for decision that nonconforming
1999-2007 Yamaha Drag Star 1100 motorcycles are eligible for
importation.

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

SUMMARY: This document announces receipt by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a petition for a decision that
1999-2007 Yamaha Drag Star 1100 motorcycles that were not originally
manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that
the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle
originally manufactured for sale in the United States, certified under
49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same model year as the model of the motor
vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being readily altered to
conform to all applicable FMVSS.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
    US SPECS of Aberdeen, Maryland (Registered Importer 03-321) has
petitioned NHTSA to decide whether non-U.S. certified 1999-2007 Yamaha
Drag Star 1100 motorcycles are eligible for importation into the United
States. The vehicles that U.S. SPECS believes are substantially similar
are 1999-2007 V Star 1100 motorcycles that were manufactured for sale
in the United States and certified by their manufacturer as conforming
to all applicable FMVSS.
    The petitioner claims that it carefully compared non-U.S. certified
1999-2007 Yamaha Drag Star 1100 motorcycles to their U.S. certified
counterparts, and found the vehicles to be substantially similar with
respect to compliance with most FMVSS.
    US SPECS submitted information with its petition intended to
demonstrate that non-U.S. certified 1999-2007 Yamaha Drag Star 1100
motorcycles, as originally manufactured, conform to many FMVSS in the
same manner as their U.S. certified counterparts, or are capable of
being readily altered to conform to those standards.
    Specifically, the petitioner claims that non-U.S. certified 1999-
2007 Yamaha Drag Star 1100 motorcycles are identical to their U.S.
certified counterparts with respect to compliance with Standard Nos.
106 Brake Hoses, 116 Brake Fluid, 119 New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles
other than Passenger Cars, and 122 Motorcycle Brake Systems.
    The petitioner further contends that the vehicles are capable of
being readily altered to meet the following standards, in the manner
indicated below:
    Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated
Equipment: Inspection of all vehicles and replacement of the following
with U.S.-certified components on vehicles not already so equipped: (a)
Headlamps; (b) front and rear turn signal lamps; (c) tail lamp
assembly; (d) front and rear side-mounted reflex reflectors; and (e)
rear-mounted reflex reflector.
    Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors: Inspection of all vehicles, and
installation of U.S.-conforming model rearview mirrors on vehicles that
are not already so equipped.
    Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and Rims for Vehicles other than
Passenger

Cars: Installation of a tire information placard.
    Standard No. 123 Motorcycle Controls and Displays: Installation of
a U.S.-model speedometer, or modification of the speedometer so that it
reads in miles per hour.
    Standard No. 205 Glazing Materials: Inspection of all vehicles, and
removal of noncompliant glazing or replacement of the glazing with
U.S.-certified components on vehicles that are not already so equipped.
    All comments received before the close of business on the closing
date indicated above will be considered, and will be available for
examination in the docket at the above address both before and after
that date. To the extent possible, comments filed after the closing
date will also be considered. Notice of final action on the petition
will be published in the Federal Register pursuant to the authority
indicated below.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8;
delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.

    Issued on: October 16, 2007.

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH (Eurocopter) Model BO-105A, BO-105C, BO-
105LS A-1, BO-105LS A-3, and BO-105S helicopters. This AD requires
inspecting for debonding of the erosion protective shell (abrasion
strip) on the leading edge of each main rotor blade. This AD was
prompted by the discovery of abrasion strip debonding during an
inspection on one Model BO-105 helicopter and also by an incident on a
second Model BO-105 helicopter that lost its abrasion strip in-flight.
The actions of this AD are intended to detect debonding of the main
rotor blade abrasion strip, which could lead to an unbalanced main
rotor, high vibrations, damage to the tail boom or tail rotor, and loss
of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective September 13, 2013.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact
American Eurocopter Corporation, 2701 N. Forum Drive, Grand Prairie, TX

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On December 6, 2011, at 76 FR 76068, the Federal Register published
our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to Eurocopter Model BO-
105A, BO-105C, BO-105LS A-1, BO-105LS A-3, and BO-105S helicopters. The
NPRM proposed to require, within 50 hours time-in-service (TIS),
inspecting for debonding of the abrasion strip along the leading edge
of certain part-numbered main rotor blades with a main rotor blade
abrasion strip that was replaced between September 2006 and March 2010.
If there is debonding in any area of the abrasion strip, the NPRM
proposed to require, before further flight, replacing the main rotor
blade.
    On December 19, 2012, at 77 FR 75073, the Federal Register
published our supplemental NPRM (SNPRM), which proposed to revise some
of the actions of the NPRM. The SNPRM proposed clarifying that the
inspection method would be a tap inspection and proposed clarifying the
replacement date range of the applicable abrasion strips to be
inclusive of September 1, 2006 through March 31, 2010.
    The NPRM and SNPRM were prompted by Emergency AD No. 2010-0216-E,
dated October 21, 2010 (and corrected October 29, 2010), issued by the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European Union. EASA advises that during
an inspection on a BO105 helicopter, debonding was found on the erosion
protective shell of a main rotor blade, and investigation showed the
debonding was caused by incorrect installation of the erosion
protective shell. In addition, EASA states that an incident occurred
where a second BO105 helicopter lost its erosion protective shell
during hover flight. EASA advises that this condition, if not
corrected, could result in loss of the main rotor blade erosion
protective shell during flight, leading to an unbalanced main rotor and
high vibrations, which could damage the tail boom or tail rotor or
result in loss of tail rotor control and loss of control of the
helicopter.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we did not receive any comments on the NPRM (76 FR 76068,
December 6, 2011) or the SNPRM (77 FR 75073, December 19, 2012).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Germany and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with Germany, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are issuing 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 helicopters of these same
type designs and that air safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The differences between this AD and the EASA AD are:
     The EASA AD allows compliance within ``10 flight hours, or
4 flight cycles, or 4 weeks, whichever occurs first,'' and this AD
requires compliance within 50 hours TIS.

     The EASA AD allows you to replace the main rotor blade
erosion protective shell if debonding is detected, and this AD requires
you to replace the main rotor blade with an airworthy main rotor blade
if debonding is detected.
     The EASA AD is applicable to the Model BO105 D helicopter;
however, this AD does not include this model because it does not have a
type certificate in the U.S.

Related Service Information

    Eurocopter has issued Emergency Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No.
ASB BO105-10-124, dated July 14, 2010, for the Model BO105 helicopter,
with a main rotor blade, part number (P/N) 105-15103, 105-15141, 105-
15141V001, 105-15143, 105-15150, 105-15150V001, 105-15152, 105-81013,
105-87214, 1120-15101, or 1120-15103, where the main rotor blade
erosion protective shell was replaced between September 2006 and March
2010. Eurocopter also issued Emergency ASB No. ASB-BO105LS-10-12, dated
July 14, 2010, for the Model BO105LS A-3 helicopter, with a main rotor
blade, P/N 105-15141, where the main rotor blade erosion protective
shell was replaced between September 2006 and March 2010. Both
Emergency ASBs exclude helicopters from this inspection if each main
rotor blade was inspected at the last 600 flight hour inspection and no
debonding was detected during the inspection. Both Emergency ASBs
specified a one-time inspection of the main rotor blades within the
next 50 flight hours to determine if debonding of the main rotor blade
erosion protective shell has occurred.
    Eurocopter subsequently issued Emergency ASB No. ASB BO105-10-124,
Revision 1, dated October 18, 2010, and Emergency ASB No. ASB-BO105LS-
10-12, Revision 1, dated October 20, 2010. These service bulletins
specify the same inspection requirements as the original service
bulletins, but revise the inspection compliance time from 50 flight
hours to 10 flight hours. EASA classified these service bulletins as
mandatory and issued EASA Emergency AD No. 2010-0216-E, dated October
21, 2010 (corrected October 29, 2010), to ensure the continued
airworthiness of these helicopters.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 97 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in
order to comply with this AD. It will take about 1.0 work-hour per
helicopter to perform the inspection at an average labor rate of $85
per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the
inspection on U.S. operators will be $8,245 or $85 per helicopter. If
there is debonding, we estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours to
replace a main rotor blade and required parts will cost $114,182, for a
total cost of $114,352 per blade. We have no way of determining how
many operators will incur replacement costs.

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 helicopters 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 to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63820; File No. SR-EDGA-2011-02]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; EDGA Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Amendments to the EDGA Exchange, Inc. Fee Schedule

February 2, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on January 25, 2011, the EDGA Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
the ``EDGA'') 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 prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend its fees and rebates applicable to
Members \3\ of the Exchange pursuant to EDGA Rule 15.1(a) and (c). All
of the changes described herein are applicable to EDGA Members. The
text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at http://www.directedge.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A Member is any registered broker or dealer, or any person
associated with a registered broker or dealer, that has been
admitted to membership in the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 self-regulatory organization
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 self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In SR-EDGA-2011-01,\4\ the Exchange filed for immediate
effectiveness a rule filing to amend Rule 11.9 to add its routing
strategies, which were contained in its fee schedule, to the rule and
to introduce additional routing strategies to the rule. Two of those
strategies that the Exchange added to Rules 11.9(b)(3)(q) and (r) were
the SWPA/SWPB routing strategies. Under the SWPA strategy, an order
would check the System for available shares and then would be sent to
Protected Quotations and only for displayed size. Under this strategy,
orders would not have to contain sufficient size to execute against all
Protected Quotations (emphasis added). If any shares remain unexecuted,
such remainder will be cancelled back to the User. Under the SWPB
routing strategy, an order would check the System for available shares
and then is sent to Protected Quotations and only for displayed size.
Under this strategy, orders would have to contain sufficient size to
execute against all Protected Quotations. The entire SWPB order will be
cancelled back to the User immediately if at the time of entry there is
insufficient quantity in the SWPB order to fulfill the displayed size
of all Protected Quotations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See SR-EDGA-2010-01 (January 21, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In this filing, the Exchange proposes to add the corresponding flag
for the use of the SWPA/SWPB strategies, SW, to its fee schedule and
assign it a fee of $0.0031 per share for removal of liquidity from all
market centers except from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). For any
SWPA/SWPB orders that remove liquidity from the NYSE, the Exchange will
continue to assign Flag D and charge a fee of $0.0023 per share. This
is clarified in proposed footnote 8 to the fee schedule. The lower fee
charged for removing liquidity from the NYSE is consistent with the
processing of similar routing strategies by EDGA's competitors.
Secondly, of the major market centers, the NYSE fees for removing
liquidity itself are lower, and EDGA is thus able to pass back such
lower rates to its Members.
    EDGA Exchange proposes to implement these amendments to the
Exchange fee schedule on January 25, 2011.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\5\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\6\ in particular, as it is
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its members and other persons using its
facilities. The fee of $0.0031 per share is an equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges in that this order type is
limited in its interaction with other Member orders as it only executes
to the extent a Member order is at the Protected Quotation. As a
result, compared to other routing strategies that always sweep the EDGA
book before routing out, such as ROBA (fee of $0.0025 per share), the
SWPA/SWPB fees are higher. Secondly, the fee is equitable when compared
to other similar type strategies of EDGA's competitors. As noted in SR-
EDGA-2011-01, the SWPA/SWPB routing strategies are based on Nasdaq's
MOPP strategy and BATS Parallel T routing strategy.\7\ Nasdaq charges
$0.0035 per share for MOPP orders and BATS charges $0.0033 per share
for such orders. EDGA's rate is even more competitive than these. The
Exchange also notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in
which market participants can readily direct order flow to competing
venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be excessive.
The proposed rule change reflects a competitive pricing structure
designed to incent market participants to direct their order flow to
the Exchange. The Exchange believes that the proposed rates are
equitable in that they apply uniformly to all Members. The Exchange
believes the fees and credits remain competitive with those charged by
other venues and therefore continue to be reasonable and equitably
allocated to Members.

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

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

    The proposed rule change does not 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 not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \9\ thereunder. At any
time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
