AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: EPA issued a document in the Federal Register of November 20,
2015, concerning the removal of the entry ``Rice, straw'' from the
table in 40 CFR 180.361(a). EPA subsequently issued a document in the
Federal Register of December 21, 2015, which redesignated 40 CFR
180.361(a) as 40 CFR 180.361(a)(1). This document corrects the document
published on November 20, 2015, to remove the entry ``Rice, straw''
from the table in paragraph (a)(1).

DATES: This final rule correction is effective May 18, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The IAEA works with its Member States and multiple partners
worldwide to promote safe, secure, and peaceful nuclear technologies.
The IAEA established and further maintains ``Regulations for the Safe
Transport of Radioactive Material'' (SSR-6), which is an international
standard promoting the safe and secure transportation of radioactive
material. The IAEA periodically reviews and, as deemed appropriate,
revises ``Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material''
to reflect new information and accumulated experience. The DOT is the
U.S. competent authority before the IAEA for radioactive material
transportation matters. The NRC provides technical support to the DOT
in this regard, particularly pertaining to Type B and fissile
transportation packages.
    The IAEA has released, for a 120-day Member State review, a draft
revision of SSR-6 intended for publication in 2018. To assure
opportunity for public involvement in the international regulatory
development process, PHMSA requests input from the public on the
proposed revisions to SSR-6 and solicits comment only on the changes
made between the published 2012 edition and the draft 2018 edition. The
public docket for this notice contains a redline/strikeout version of
the 2018 draft showing the changes from the 2012 version.
    Any comments made should refer to the relevant paragraph number in
the draft 2018 edition and, when appropriate, include proposed
alternative text. Please note that to date, PHMSA has harmonized the
U.S. domestic hazardous materials regulations in 49 CFR with the 2009
edition of the IAEA regulations, as revised in 2014 [Docket No. PHMSA-
2009-0063 (HM-250)]. The NRC is currently developing a rulemaking to
harmonize with the 2012 edition of SSR-6. PHMSA may also develop a
subsequent rulemaking to harmonize with the 2012 edition of SSR-6, but
we are not currently considering adoption of the 2018 amendments.
However, both the NRC and DOT will consider subsequent domestic
compatibility rulemakings after IAEA's final publication of the 2018
revised SSR-6.

II. Public Participation

    The ADDRESSES section of this notice specifies methods and
instructions for submitting comments.
    Comments must be submitted in writing (Microsoft Word file is the
preferred format for electronic submissions) and should include the
following:
     Name;
     Address;
     Relevant paragraph number in the document being reviewed;
and
     When appropriate, proposed alternative text.
    Commenters may also provide contact information, such as a
telephone number and/or email address.
    PHMSA and the NRC will review the comments received and, based in
part on the information received, will develop comments on the revised
draft of SSR-6 to be submitted to the IAEA.

of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew

exemptions at the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical
exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the
maximum duration of a driver's medical certification.
    The nine individuals listed in this notice have requested an
exemption from the vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting an exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by statute.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has distant visual acuity of at
least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with
corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen)
in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at
least 70[deg] in the horizontal Meridian in each eye, and the ability
to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing standard
red, green, and amber.
    On July 16, 1992, the Agency first published the criteria for the
Vision Waiver Program, which listed the conditions and reporting
standards that CMV drivers approved for participation would need to
meet (57 FR 31458). The current Vision Exemption Program was
established in 1998, following the enactment of amendments to the
statutes governing exemptions made by Sec.  4007 of the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), Public Law 105-178, 112 Stat.
107, 401 (June 9, 1998). Vision exemptions are considered under the
procedures established in 49 CFR part 381 subpart C, on a case-by-case
basis upon application by CMV drivers who do not meet the vision
standards of Sec.  391.41(b)(10).
    To qualify for an exemption from the vision requirement, FMCSA
requires a person to present verifiable evidence that he/she has driven
a commercial vehicle safely in intrastate commerce with the vision
deficiency for the past three years. Recent driving performance is
especially important in evaluating future safety, according to several
research studies designed to correlate past and future driving
performance. Results of these studies support the principle that the
best predictor of future performance by a driver is his/her past record
of crashes and traffic violations. Copies of the studies may be found
at www.regulations.gov/docket?D=FMCSA-1998-3637.
    FMCSA believes it can properly apply the principle to monocular
drivers, because data from the Federal Highway Administration's former
waiver study program clearly demonstrated the driving performance of
experienced monocular drivers in the program is better than that of all
CMV drivers collectively.\1\ The fact that experienced monocular
drivers demonstrated safe driving records in the waiver program
supports a conclusion that other monocular drivers, meeting the same
qualifying conditions as those required by the waiver program, are also
likely to have adapted to their vision deficiency and will continue to
operate safely.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A thorough discussion of this issue may be found in a FHWA
final rule published in the Federal Register on March 26, 1996 and
available on the internet at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-03-26/pdf/96-7226.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The first major research correlating past and future performance
was done in England by Greenwood and Yule in 1920. Subsequent studies,
building on that model, concluded that crash rates for the same
individual exposed to certain risks for two different time periods vary
only slightly (See Bates and Neyman, University of California
Publications in Statistics, April 1952). Other studies demonstrated
theories of predicting crash proneness from crash history coupled with
other factors. These factors--such as age, sex, geographic location,
mileage driven and conviction history--are used every day by insurance
companies and motor vehicle bureaus to predict the probability of an
individual experiencing future crashes (See Weber, Donald C.,
``Accident Rate Potential: An Application of Multiple Regression
Analysis of a Poisson Process,'' Journal of American Statistical
Association, June 1971). A 1964 California Driver Record Study prepared
by the California Department of Motor Vehicles concluded that the best
overall crash predictor for both concurrent and nonconcurrent events is
the number of single convictions. This study used three consecutive
years of data, comparing the experiences of drivers in the first two
years with their experiences in the final year.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2008-0595; FRL-8918-1]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
District of Columbia; Reasonably Available Control Technology Under the
8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the District of Columbia. This SIP revision consists of a
demonstration that the District of Columbia meets the requirements of
reasonably available control technology (RACT) for nitrogen oxides
(NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) set forth by the
Clean Air Act (CAA). This SIP revision demonstrates that all
requirements for RACT are met either through: Certification that
previously adopted RACT controls in the District of Columbia's SIP that
were approved by EPA under the 1-hour ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) are based on the currently available
technically and economically feasible controls, and that they continue
to represent RACT for the 8-hour implementation purposes; and a
negative declaration demonstrating that no facilities exist in the
District of Columbia for the applicable control technology guideline
(CTG) categories. This action is being taken under the CAA.

DATES: Effective Date: The final rule is effective on July 16, 2009.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA-R03-OAR-2008-0595. All documents in the electronic docket
are listed in the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available, i.e.,
confidential business information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available either electronically in http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On March 25, 2009 (75 FR 12778), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the District of Columbia. The NPR proposed
approval of the requirements of RACT under the 8-hour Ozone NAAQS. EPA
received no comments on the proposal to approve the District of
Columbia SIP revision. The formal SIP revision was submitted by the
District of Columbia on September 22, 2008.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    On September 22, 2008, the District of Columbia Department of
Environment (DDOE) submitted a revision to its SIP that addresses the
requirements of RACT under the 8-hour ozone NAAQS set forth by the CAA.
The District of Columbia's SIP revision is consistent with the process
in the Phase 2 Rule preamble, and satisfies the requirements of RACT
set forth by the CAA under the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The District of
Columbia's SIP revision satisfies the 8-hour RACT requirements through
a certification that previously adopted RACT controls in the District
of Columbia's SIP that were approved by EPA under the 1-hour ozone
NAAQS are based on the currently available technically and economically
feasible controls, and continues to represent RACT for the 8-hour
implementation purposes and a negative declaration demonstrating that
facilities exist in the District of Columbia for the applicable control
technology guideline (CTG) categories.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the District of Columbia SIP revision that
addresses the requirements of RACT under the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The
District of Columbia's SIP revision was submitted on September 22,
2008.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly,
this action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides

that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule
must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each
House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United
States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by August 17, 2009. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action, pertaining to the District of Columbia's RACT
provisions under the 8-hour ozone NAAQS, may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by a
determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations
are necessary. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2020-01-
13 and require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2020-01-13, Amendment 39-19819 (85 FR 5313,
January 30, 2020) (AD 2020-01-13). AD 2020-01-13 applied to all
Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 200 airplanes. AD 2020-01-13
required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. The FAA issued AD 2020-01-13 to address fatigue cracking,
damage, and corrosion in principal structural elements; such fatigue
cracking, damage, and corrosion could result in reduced structural
integrity of the airplane.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2023 (88 FR
46112). The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD 2023-0045, dated March 2,
2023; corrected March 3, 2023, issued by EASA, which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union (EASA AD 2023-0045)
(also referred to as the MCAI). The MCAI states that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations have been developed.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to continue to require the actions in
AD 2020-01-13 and require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1494.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined
that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on this product.
Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in
the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any
operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2023-0045. This service information
specifies

new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations for airplane
structures and safe life limits.
    This AD also requires Chapter 5-40-00, Airworthiness Limitations,
Revision 18, dated January 15, 2019, of the Dassault Falcon 200
Maintenance Manual, which the Director of the Federal Register approved
for incorporation by reference as of March 5, 2020 (85 FR 5313, January
30, 2020).
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 9 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2020-01-13 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate.
    The agency estimates the average total cost per operator for the
new actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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 that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites interested people to take part in this rulemaking
by sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date for
comments. The FAA may change these special conditions based on the
comments received.

Background

    On October 27, 2020, Airbus SAS applied for a change to Type
Certificate No. A28NM for flight attendant seats mounted on movable
lavatory doors in A320-200 Series Model A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N,
-272N, and -273N (known as A320neo) airplanes and A321-200 Series Model
A321-251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, and -272NX (known as A321neo)
airplanes. These airplanes are twin-engine, transport category
airplanes. The A320neo has a maximum passenger seating capacity of 179
and the A321neo has a maximum passenger seating capacity of 244.
    The applicable airworthiness requirements do not contain adequate
or appropriate safety standards for this new lavatory door-mounted
flight attendant seat. Section 25.785 of title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) specifies certain requirements for flight
attendant seats but did not consider flight attendant seats mounted on
movable structure such as lavatory doors and, therefore, does not

specifically address additional concerns associated with ensuring the
flight attendant seats are safe to occupy when necessary. Therefore,
special conditions are necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), Sec.  21.101, Airbus must show that the A320neo and A321neo
airplanes, as changed, continue to meet the applicable provisions of
the regulations listed in Type Certificate No. A28NM or the applicable
regulations in effect on the date of application for the change, except
for earlier amendments as agreed upon by the FAA.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (e.g., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Airbus A320neo and A321neo
airplanes because of a novel or unusual design feature, special
conditions are prescribed under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same novel or
unusual design feature, or should any other model already included on
the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the same novel or
unusual design feature, these special conditions would also apply to
the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Airbus A320neo and A321neo airplanes must comply with
the fuel vent and exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and
the noise certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36.
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Airbus A320neo and A321neo airplanes will incorporate the
following novel or unusual design features:
    Flight attendant seats mounted on movable lavatory doors.

Discussion

    Airbus will install, in A320neo and A321neo airplanes, flight
attendant seats on lavatory doors. The lavatory door-mounted flight
attendant seat is intended to be occupied during all phases of flight,
including takeoff and landing.
    Flight attendant seats are typically floor-mounted or wall-mounted
on a non-movable structure (e.g., mounted on monument walls) which is
attached to the airplane structure. The installation of a flight
attendant seat on movable structure, such as a lavatory door,
introduces certain issues that must be addressed to ensure safety of
the attendant seat occupant. Such considerations include ensuring that
the lavatory door is closed (fixed) when the flight attendant seat is
to be occupied and ensuring that the lavatory door lock mechanism is
reliable after frequent use of the lavatory door. Additionally, the
lavatory door, door locking mechanism, and door housing will need to
withstand certain loading conditions as that structure is part of the
load path between seat structure and airplane structure.
    Other issues include ensuring that the flight attendant seat is
available to use when necessary, which requires a way to ensure the
lavatory is not occupied when the flight attendant seat must be
occupied. Also, additional maintenance requirements will need to be
considered to establish the reliability of the lavatory door locking
mechanism, as it is a feature that will be frequently used.
    The proposed special conditions contain the additional safety
standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a
level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing
airworthiness standards.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
A320 Series Model -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -273N (known as
A320neo) and A321 Series Model -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, -272NX
(known as A321neo) airplanes. Should Airbus apply at a later date for a
change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating
the same novel or unusual design feature, these special conditions
would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only a certain novel or unusual design feature
on A320 Series Model -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -273N (known as
A320neo) and A321 Series Model -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, -272NX
(known as A321neo) airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.

requirements.

Authority Citation

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Proposed Special Conditions

    [ssquf] Accordingly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
proposes the following special conditions as part of the type
certification basis for A320 Series Model -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -
272N, -273N (known as A320neo) and A321 Series Model -251NX, -252NX, -
253NX, -271NX, -272NX (known as A321neo).
    (a) The lavatory door-mounted flight attendant seat-system primary
load path, including the flight attendant seat, seat attachment means,
the lavatory door, and lavatory door attachment to the lavatory
housing--including the locking mechanism--must be shown to be capable
of withstanding the emergency landing dynamic loads in accordance with
Sec.  25.562. The lavatory housing and the lavatory attachment to the
airplane structure must comply with the requirements of Sec.  25.561.
    (b) Means must be provided to ensure that the flight attendant seat
can only be used if the lavatory door is securely locked in the closed
position.
    (1) The procedures for establishing that the lavatory door is
closed and locked prior to use of the flight attendant seat must become
part of the cabin crew training.
    (2) The effects of structural deformation of the lavatory door and
lavatory door housing must be addressed to prevent unlocking or failure
of the locking mechanism.
    (c) Means must be provided to ensure that the lavatory is not
occupied so that the flight attendant seat is available when necessary.
    (d) Means must be provided to ensure that no one is inadvertently
trapped inside the lavatory when the lavatory door is locked to
facilitate use of the flight attendant seat.
    (e) The lavatory door locking mechanism must be shown to withstand
frequent use. Potential deterioration of moving parts must be addressed
to show that the locking mechanism is reliable within its established
life cycle. Accordingly, instructions for continued airworthiness must
also be defined for the locking mechanism.

random ozone question

Hi Bill and Lydia -

Sorry to bother you but I was asked if I could get an answer to these questions before tomorrow morning.  How many counties were out of attainment for the last standard?  In other words, how many counties had SIPs due this summer?  (And if I wanted to do math to get a percentage, how many total counties should I divide by?)

Thanks,

Amy
