[Docket No. FAA-2012-0008; Directorate Identifier 2011-NE-43-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG
Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) BR700-715A1-30,
BR700-715B1-30, and BR700-715C1-30 turbofan engines. This proposed AD
was prompted by the discovery of a manufacturing defect on certain part
number (P/N) and serial number (S/N) low-pressure (LP) compressor
booster rotors. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive
fluorescent penetrant inspections of certain P/N and S/N LP compressor
booster rotors and rework or replacement of them as terminating action
to the repetitive inspections. We are proposing this AD to prevent
failure of the LP compressor booster rotor, uncontained engine failure,
and damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 24, 2012.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2011-0232, dated December 13, 2011 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Several LP compressor booster rotors have been found non-
compliant to original design. The technical investigations carried
out by Rolls-Royce Deutschland revealed that this discrepancy is due
to a manufacturing defect and that only some specific LP compressor
booster rotor serial numbers are affected. This condition, if not
corrected, could lead to an uncontained engine failure, potentially
damaging the aeroplane and injuring its occupants, and/or injuring
persons on the ground.

    To address this condition, RRD has developed an inspection
program and a rework for the affected LP compressor booster rotors.
    For the reason described above, depending on engine type of
operations, this AD requires repetitive fluorescent penetrant
inspections of the LP compressor booster rotor and if any crack is
found, replacement with a serviceable part. This AD also requires
rework of all affected LP compressor booster rotors.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    RRD has issued Alert Service Bulletin No. SB-BR700-72-A900503,
Revision 4, dated June 16, 2011, and RRD SB No. SB-BR700-72-101683,
dated September 20, 2010. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by EASA and is approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement
with the European Community, EASA has notified us of the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced
above. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all information
provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists and is
likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 96 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take about 5 work-hours per engine to
perform one inspection, and about 8 work-hours per engine to perform
the rework. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these
figures, if all engines are reworked, we estimate the cost of the
proposed AD on U.S. operators to perform one inspection and to perform
the rework to be $106,080.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    The heating capability of several Angle Of Attack (AOA)
transducer heating elements removed from in-service aircraft have
been found to be below the minimum requirement. Also, it was
discovered that a large number of AOA transducers repaired in an
approved maintenance facility were not calibrated accurately.
    Inaccurate calibration of the AOA transducer and/or degraded AOA
transducer heating elements can result in early or late activation
of the stall warning, stick shaker and stick pusher by the Stall
Protection Computer (SPC).
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is reduced controllability of the airplane. We are
issuing this AD to require actions to

correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 19, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 19,
2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register previously approved the
incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD
as of March 9, 2009 (74 FR 7789, February 20, 2009).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2009
(74 FR 59480), and proposed to supersede AD 2009-04-11, Amendment 39-
15817 (74 FR 7789, February 20, 2009). That NPRM proposed to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products.
    The mandatory continued airworthiness information (MCAI) states:

    The heating capability of several Angle Of Attack (AOA)
transducer heating elements removed from in-service aircraft have
been found to be below the minimum requirement. Also, it was
discovered that a large number of AOA transducers repaired in an
approved maintenance facility were not calibrated accurately.
    Inaccurate calibration of the AOA transducer and/or degraded AOA
transducer heating elements can result in early or late activation
of the stall warning, stick shaker and stick pusher by the Stall
Protection Computer (SPC).
    This [Canadian] directive mandates a periodic inspection of the
inrush current to verify the AOA heating capability and replacement
of the inaccurately calibrated AOA transducers.

The unsafe condition is reduced controllability of the airplane. This
AD retains the requirements of AD 2009-04-11 and also requires a one-
time inspection of certain angle of attack (AOA) transducers,
replacement of transducers having certain serial numbers, repetitive
inspections of the inrush current for certain AOA transducers, and
replacement of inaccurately calibrated AOA transducers. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received.

Request To Allow Records Check

    Mesa Airlines requests that we allow the use of a records check in
lieu of the inspection for serial numbers specified in paragraph (g)(2)
of the NPRM. Mesa Airlines points out that serial numbers could already
be known to operators after compliance with AD 2009-04-11. Mesa
Airlines also notes that AOA transducers are delicate instruments that
could be damaged by removal for the purpose of confirming serial
numbers.
    For the reasons provided by Mesa Airlines, we agree to allow
operators to perform a review of the airplane maintenance records in
lieu of performing an inspection of the AOA transducer to determine the
serial number, if the serial number can be conclusively determined from
that review. We have revised paragraph (g)(2) of this AD accordingly.

Explanation of Change to Applicability

    We have revised the applicability of this AD to identify model
designations as published in the most recent type certificate data
sheet for the affected models.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Explanation of Change to Costs of Compliance

    Since issuance of the NPRM, we have increased the labor rate used
in the Costs of Compliance from $80 per work-hour to $85 per work-hour.
The Costs of Compliance information, below, reflects this increase in
the specified hourly labor rate.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 613 products of U.S.
registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2009-04-11 and retained in this
AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85
per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the
currently required actions is $85 per product.
    We estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $52,105, or $85 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States,

or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27: Flight
controls.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continued airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    The heating capability of several Angle Of Attack (AOA)
transducer heating elements removed from in-service aircraft have
been found to be below the minimum requirement. Also, it was
discovered that a large number of AOA transducers repaired in an
approved maintenance facility were not calibrated accurately.
    Inaccurate calibration of the AOA transducer and/or degraded AOA
transducer heating elements can result in early or late activation
of the stall warning, stick shaker and stick pusher by the Stall
Protection Computer (SPC).
    This [Canadian] directive mandates a periodic inspection of the
inrush current to verify the AOA heating capability and replacement
of the inaccurately calibrated AOA transducers.

The unsafe condition is reduced controllability of the airplane.
This AD retains the requirements of AD 2009-04-11 and also requires
a one-time inspection of certain AOA transducers, replacement of
transducers having certain serial numbers, repetitive inspections of
the inrush current for certain AOA transducers, and replacement of
inaccurately calibrated AOA transducers.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2009-04-11, With No Changes

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions:
    (1) For airplanes equipped with a transducer having accumulated
more than 7,500 total flight hours as of March 9, 2009 (the
effective date of AD 2009-04-11): Within 250 flight hours after
March 9, 2009, measure the inrush current of both AOA transducers in
accordance with Part A of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-27-153, Revision A, dated December
16, 2008.
    (i) If both AOA transducers are found to have an inrush current
of 1.60 amps or more, repeat the measurement thereafter at intervals
not to exceed the applicable interval specified in Table 1 of this
AD. Do the measurement in accordance with Part A of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-27-
153, Revision A, dated December 16, 2008.

                Table 1--Repetitive Measurement Intervals
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 If the last inrush current measurement
 of the serviceable AOA transducer is--   Then repeat the measurement--
------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than or equal to 1.90 amps........  Within 2,000 flight hours after
                                          the last measurement.
More than or equal to 1.80 amps but      Within 1,500 flight hours after
 less than 1.90 amps.                     the last measurement.
More than or equal to 1.70 amps but      Within 1,000 flight hours after
 less than 1.80 amps.                     the last measurement.
More than or equal to 1.60 amps but      Within 500 flight hours after
 less than 1.70 amps.                     the last measurement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

     (ii) If one AOA transducer is found to have an inrush current
below 1.60 amps, and the other AOA transducer is found to have an
inrush current of 1.60 amps or more: Do the actions required by
paragraphs (f)(1)(ii)(A) and (f)(1)(ii)(B) of this AD.
    (A) For the AOA transducer having an inrush current of 1.60 amps

    (B) For the AOA transducer having an inrush current below 1.60
amps (``degraded'' transducer): Within 1,000 flight hours after
March 9, 2009, replace that transducer in accordance with Part C of
the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-
27-153, Revision A, dated December 16, 2008. At the applicable time
specified in Table 1 of this AD if the degraded transducer was
replaced with a serviceable transducer, or within 2,000 flight hours
after replacement if the degraded transducer was replaced with a new
transducer, do the measurement for that replacement transducer and
repeat the measurements thereafter at intervals not to exceed the
applicable interval specified in Table 1 of this AD. Do the
measurement in accordance with Part A of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-27-153, Revision A,
dated December 16, 2008.
    (iii) If both AOA transducers are found to have an inrush
current below 1.60 amps, do the action specified in paragraph
(f)(1)(iii)(A) or (f)(1)(iii)(B) of this AD.
    (A) Before further flight, replace one of the degraded AOA
transducers with a new or serviceable transducer; and replace the
other degraded transducer with a new or

serviceable transducer within 1,000 flight hours after the
measurement required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD; in accordance
with Part C of the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service
Bulletin 601R-27-153, Revision A, dated December 16, 2008. At the
applicable time specified in Table 1 of this AD, if the degraded
transducer was replaced with a serviceable transducer; or within
2,000 flight hours after replacement if the degraded transducer was
replaced with a new transducer: Do the measurement for that
replacement transducer and repeat the measurement thereafter at

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Release No. 34-57820; File No. SR-FINRA-2008-017]

Self-Regulatory Organizations: Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated
Approval of Proposed Rule Change Relating to Section 1(a) of Article
III of the FINRA By-Laws

May 15, 2008.
    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 May 7, 2008, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(``NASD'')) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by FINRA. This
order provides notice of the proposed rule change and approves the
proposed rule change on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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

    FINRA is proposing to amend Section 1(a) of Article III of the
FINRA By-Laws, to interpret the reference to a ``registered broker'' in
Section 1(a) of Article III of the FINRA By-Laws to include any bank
exempted from the definition of ``broker'' under Section 3(a)(4)(E) of
the Act \3\ as of the date of filing of the proposed rule change. The
proposed rule change is submitted in furtherance of the consolidation
of the member firm regulatory functions of NASD and NYSE Regulation,
Inc. (``NYSE Regulation''). There are no changes to the text of FINRA
rules as a result of the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(4)(E).

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

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

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA 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 III below. FINRA 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
    On July 30, 2007, NASD and NYSE Regulation consolidated their
member firm regulation operations into a combined organization,
FINRA.\4\ To achieve the consolidation's goal to eliminate duplicative
member firm regulation and enable FINRA to meet its new regulatory
responsibilities, the NYSE amended NYSE Rule 2(b) to require FINRA
membership as a condition of being an NYSE member organization
(``Mandatory FINRA Membership filing'').\5\ Moreover, in furtherance of
the consolidation, FINRA adopted NASD IM-1013-1 to enable eligible NYSE
member organizations to become FINRA members through an expedited
process.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ On July 26, 2007, the Commission approved amendments to the
NASD By-Laws to implement governance and related changes to
accommodate the consolidation of the member firm regulatory
functions of NASD and NYSE Regulation. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 56145 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42169 (Aug. 1, 2007) (File
No. SR-NASD-2007-023). The Commission also approved a plan by FINRA
and NYSE Regulation to allocate regulatory responsibility relating
to the NYSE member firm regulation rules to FINRA. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 56148 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42146 (Aug. 1,
2007) (File No. 4-544).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56654 (Oct. 12,
2007), 72 FR 59129 (Oct. 18, 2007) (File No. SR-NYSE-2007-67);
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56953 (Dec. 12, 2007), 72 FR
71990 (Dec. 19, 2007) (extending grace period for NYSE-only member
organizations to apply for and be approved as FINRA members to June
30, 2008). See also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56751 (Nov.
6, 2007), 72 FR 64098 (Nov. 14, 2007) (File No. SR-FINRA-2007-19).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56653 (Oct. 12,
2007); 72 FR 59127 (Oct. 18, 2007) (File No. SR-NASD-2007-056).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Rule 2(b) expressly permits entities that are exempt from
registration as brokers or dealers pursuant to the Act to become NYSE
member organizations.\7\ In contrast, Section 1(a) of Article III of
the FINRA By-Laws addresses those ``registered'' brokers, dealers,
municipal securities brokers or dealers, or government securities
brokers or dealers that are eligible to become members of FINRA.
Accordingly, in furtherance of the consolidation, the proposed rule
change would allow FINRA to treat any NYSE member organization that, as
of the date of filing of the proposed rule change, is a bank exempt
from the definition of broker under Section 3(a)(4)(E) of the Act as a
registered broker for purposes of the FINRA By-Laws, thereby allowing
any such bank to be eligible to become a FINRA member.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See also NYSE Rule 346(a).
    \8\ This category of NYSE member organizations is limited to one
entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA believes this interpretation is necessary notwithstanding the
prohibitions of Section 15A(g)(1) of the Act,\9\ which requires a
registered securities association to deny membership to any person who
is not a registered broker or dealer. The Commission has already
recognized the important benefits of eliminating duplicative member
firm regulation through the consolidation of the member firm regulatory
operations of NASD and NYSE Regulation. Interpreting the reference to
registered broker in Section 1(a) of Article III of the FINRA By-Laws
to include any bank exempted from the definition of ``broker'' under
Section 3(a)(4)(E) of the Act for the narrow purposes of FINRA
membership will allow FINRA to consider all NYSE members for membership
and to assume responsibility for member firm regulation of such
entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(g)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any bank becoming a FINRA member pursuant to this interpretation,
and its associated persons, would be required to comply with the FINRA
By-Laws, Schedules to the By-Laws, and all applicable FINRA rules,\10\
excluding the following: (a) The bank would not be required to be a
registered broker-dealer; and (b) as long as the bank remains subject
to bank capital adequacy requirements, FINRA would not require it to
comply with capital requirements of either the NASD or the consolidated
FINRA rules. FINRA would provide any such bank 180 days following
approval of its membership application in which to achieve compliance
with the NASD rules governing member conduct. FINRA also would require
the bank to file a Form BD for FINRA purposes only \11\ and the
information provided on the form would be available via BrokerCheck
pursuant to NASD IM-8310-2.\12\ The bank, as part of the application
process, also would be required to submit an amended Form U4 for each
associated person denoting any registration categories that are
recognized jointly by FINRA and NYSE (e.g., General Securities
Representative (Series 7)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The FINRA rulebook currently consists of the NASD rules and
certain incorporated NYSE rules. The incorporated NYSE rules apply
solely to those members of FINRA that are also members of NYSE on or
after July 30, 2007, until such time as FINRA adopts a consolidated
rulebook applicable to all of its members.
    \11\ FINRA understands that a bank relying on Section 3(a)(4)(E)
of the Act is not required to file Form BD with the Commission.
    \12\ FINRA will need to implement certain systems changes to
accommodate the filing of a Form BD by any bank that becomes a
member of FINRA pursuant to this interpretation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any bank applying for FINRA membership pursuant to this
interpretation would not be eligible to rely on the waive-in process
set forth in NASD IM-1013-1, since that process was primarily designed
for those NYSE member organizations whose business activities are
limited to ``permitted floor activities'' as defined in NASD IM-1013-1.
Rather, a bank applying for FINRA membership pursuant to this
interpretation would be required to apply for and receive approval
pursuant to the application process described in NASD Rule 1013 (New
Membership Application and Interview). FINRA recognizes that NYSE has a
comprehensive membership application and review process based on
similar principles and standards to that of FINRA, and thus would work
expeditiously to consider for approval any application pursuant to this
interpretation.
    In addition, similar to those NYSE member organizations that become
FINRA members pursuant to the waive-in process, any bank relying on
this interpretation would not be assessed the fee set forth in Section
4(b)(1) to Schedule A of the FINRA By-Laws for any initial Form U4
filed by the applicant with FINRA for the registration of any
representative or principal associated with the firm at the time it
submits its application for FINRA membership. Also, the bank would not
be assessed the membership application fee set forth in Section 4(e) to
Schedule A of the FINRA By-Laws. FINRA believes these fee waivers are
appropriate, since NYSE mandated FINRA membership in furtherance of the
consolidation and because the application review process will not
require the same resources as when a new applicant that is not already
a member of NYSE seeks membership.

    The effective date of the proposed rule change would be the date of
Commission approval.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b) of the Act, including Section 15A(b)(6),
which requires, among other things, that FINRA rules must be designed
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. FINRA believes that the proposed
rule change will further facilitate the consolidation of the member
firm regulation functions of FINRA and NYSE Regulation, resulting in
more effective and efficient regulation of all brokers, thereby
enhancing investor protection.

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

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. 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:

Electronic Comments

     Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://
www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml); or
     Send an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please include
File Number SR-FINRA-2008-017 on the subject line.

Paper Comments

     Send paper comments in triplicate to Nancy M. Morris,
Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20549-1090.

All submissions should refer to File Number SR-FINRA-2008-017. This
file number should be included on the subject line if e-mail is used.
To help the Commission process and review your comments more
efficiently, please use only one method. The Commission will post all
comments on the Commission's Internet Web site (http://www.sec.gov/
rules/sro.shtml). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments,
all written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that
are filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating
to the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person,
other than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance
with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for inspection
and copying in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 100 F Street,
NW., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours
of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.. Copies of such filing also will be available for
inspection and copying at the principal office of FINRA. All comments
received will be posted without change; the Commission does not edit
personal identifying information from submissions. You should submit
only information that you wish to make available publicly. All
submissions should refer to File Number SR-FINRA-2008-017 and should be
submitted on or before June 13, 2008.

IV. Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder.\13\ As such, the Commission finds the proposal
to be consistent with the objectives of Section 15A of the Act,\14\ in
that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, and in
general, to protect investors and the public interest. The proposed
rule change furthers the purposes of the consolidation by recognizing
the unique status of any NYSE member organization that is exempt from
the definition of broker under Section 3(a)(4)(E) of the Act. Moreover,
the proposed rule change does not propose any substantive amendments to
existing rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ In approving this rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission also finds good cause for approving the proposed
rule change prior to the 30th day after its publication in the Federal
Register. Accordingly, the Commission believes good cause exists,
consistent with Sections 15A(b)(5) and 19(b) of the Act to approve the
proposed rule change on an accelerated basis.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\15\ that the proposed rule change (SR-FINRA-2008-017) be, and
hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

pursuant to delegated authority.\16\

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Please extend the time we need to comment. E-cigs have changed my life! A 75 day comment period is insufficient time for the vaping industry and the wider vaping community to comment on the proposed deeming regulations. I would respectfully request that the period for comment be extended to 180 days.

I had a lung scan 2 years ago, and since starting to vape in 2009, my lungs are those of a non smoker. I had smoked from 1995-2009, when I quit. I am healthy, except for a spinal fusion that has not healed correctly, but this is NOT due to vaping. I have not been sick since 2009 and I NEVER get colds. Please do not hand vaping over to BIG TOBACCO!!! I do not like taking medicine and I think Chanitxs has caused more deaths than any other smoking cessation product. Please do not let BIG TOBACCO and dreadful BIG PHARMA take over our lives. I NEED vaping to keep me healthy!!!  Please also, do not ruin the lives of thousands of small business owners who are HELPING to save our lives. This is a life or death decision. We NEED vaping to save lives.... PERIOD!
