U.S.C. 331(a) and (d)). Drug products that are listed in the table that
are in inventory on November 30, 2020 may continue to be dispensed
until the inventories have been depleted or the drug products have
reached their expiration dates or otherwise become violative, whichever
occurs first.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2015-0001; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1533]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The flood hazard
determination information may be changed during the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at

www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-91439; File No. SR-ICC-2021-005]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Notice of
Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to the ICC Recovery Plan and
the ICC Wind-Down Plan

March 30, 2021.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4,\2\ notice is hereby given that on March
23, 2021, ICE Clear Credit LLC (``ICC'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission the proposed rule change described in Items I, II
and III below, which Items have been prepared by ICC. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    The principal purpose of the proposed rule change is to update and
formalize the ICC Recovery Plan and the ICC Wind-Down Plan
(collectively, the ``Plans''). These revisions do not require any
changes to the ICC Clearing Rules (the ``Rules'').

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, ICC 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. ICC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

(a) Purpose
    ICC proposes to update and formalize the ICC Recovery Plan and the
ICC Wind-Down Plan, which serve as plans for the recovery and orderly
wind-down of ICC necessitated by credit losses, liquidity shortfalls,
losses from general business risk, or any other losses, consistent with
Rule 17ad-22(e)(3)(ii).\3\ ICC proposes to update and formalize the
Plans following Commission approval of the proposed rule change. The
proposed rule change is described in detail as follows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(3)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ICC Recovery Plan
    Consistent with the regulations applicable to ICC, the proposed
Recovery Plan is designed to establish ICC's actions to maintain its
viability as a going concern to address any uncovered credit loss,
liquidity shortfall, capital inadequacy, or business, operational or
other structural weakness that threatens ICC's viability. The purpose
of the document is to describe the actions that would be taken to (i)
restore ICC to a stable and sustainable condition in the event that it
came under severe stress and (ii) maintain effective arrangements for
ensuring that losses that threaten ICC's viability as a going concern
are allocated. The proposed Recovery Plan is divided into 14 sections,
which are detailed below.
    The proposed Recovery Plan provides necessary background and
context regarding ICC for recovery planning. Section 1 serves as an
introduction that summarizes key aspects of ICC's plan for recovery and
explains the plan's purpose. The Recovery Plan builds on ICC's existing
Rules and policies and procedures and describes the recovery tools
available to ICC to continue to provide its sole critical operation,
CDS clearing services. Section 2 provides an overview of ICC and the
regulation to which it is subject, including key information regarding
ICC's ownership structure and regulatory registrations and
designations. Section 3 discusses the regulatory requirements
applicable to the Recovery Plan, including regulatory guidance from the
Commission that ICC considered in writing the plan and applicable
regulatory obligations, such as those under Rule 17ad-22(e)(3)(ii).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed Recovery Plan provides fundamental information about
ICC's organization and operation. Section 4 discusses the legal
entities that are material to ICC for the Recovery Plan and the
requirements for ICC's Clearing Participants (``CPs''), such as
operational capacity, financial responsibility and capital
requirements. Section 4 also sets forth the governance arrangements and
committees that have a direct and indirect role in default management
and recovery, including the roles and responsibilities of the Board,
Risk Committee, and CDS Default Committee, among others. The CDS
Default Committee is responsible for assisting ICC during the execution
of certain default management and recovery procedures and convenes upon
the declaration of default. Section 4 details key performance metrics
in respect of the services that ICC provides and ICC's management of
collateral, including the forms of collateral that ICC accepts to
satisfy initial margin (``IM'') and guaranty fund (``GF'') requirements
and the monitoring of collateral counterparties. Section 5 analyzes
critical services that are necessary to continue daily operations of
clearing services and are provided to ICC by Intercontinental Exchange,
Inc. (``ICE'') or external third parties.
    The proposed Recovery Plan details interconnections and
interdependencies between ICC and other entities, including operational
and financial interconnections, in Section 6. The Recovery Plan
considers the interconnection between ICE and ICC and details IT
systems and applications critical to ICC's clearing operations. The
Recovery Plan describes how ICC monitors financial entities that have
multiple roles and relationships with ICC. Section 6 further analyzes
ICC's contractual arrangements in the context of continuing services
during recovery.
    The proposed Recovery Plan describes the potential stress scenarios
that may prevent ICC from being able to meet obligations and provide
services and the recovery tools available to ICC to address these
stress scenarios. Section 7 categorizes such stress scenarios into (i)
uncovered credit losses and/or liquidity shortfalls triggered by a CP
or multiple CPs defaulting (``CP default stress scenario'') and (ii)
stress triggered by general business risks, operational risks, or other
risks that may threaten ICC's viability as a going concern, other than
a CP default (``non-CP default stress scenario''). Section 7 discusses
the monitoring mechanisms for both categories of scenarios and the
process of notifying regulators of the initiation of the Recovery Plan.
In Section 8, ICC defines the point at which recovery begins and ICC
activates the Recovery Plan as well as who declares the activation of
the Recovery Plan.
    Section 8 describes the recovery tools available to ICC. The tools
to address credit losses in a CP default stress scenario are set forth
in ICC's Rules and procedures and would be summarized in the proposed
Recovery Plan. Such tools include:
     Auctions to close out a defaulter's portfolio ((ICC Rule
20-605(d)(v) and (f)(ii)). To incentivize competitive bidding,
contributions of non-defaulting CPs are subject to ``juniorization''
and applied using a defined default auction priority based on the
competitiveness of their bids.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ ICC's Default Auction Procedures--Initial Default Auctions
and Secondary Auction Procedures are available at the following:
https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/ICC_Default_Auction_Procedures.pdf
and https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/ICC_Secondary_Auction_Procedures.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     An insurance policy covering specified losses resulting
from a CP default (``CP default insurance'') (ICC Rule 802).
     CPs' obligation to replenish their GF contribution to the
required level in the event of any use of the GF contributions of non-
defaulting CPs (ICC Rule 803(a)) and to make assessment contributions
to the GF following a CP default and the consumption of the pre-funded
GF (ICC Rule 803(b)), subject to a cap. If the cap is reached, CPs may
be required to provide additional IM (ICC Rule 806(e)) to ensure that
ICC maintains compliance with minimum regulatory financial resources
requirements.
     Partial tear-up of remaining positions (ICC Rules 20-
605(f)(iii) and 809) where ICC terminates positions of non-defaulting
CPs that exactly offset those in the defaulter's remaining portfolio.
     Reduced gains distributions (``RGD'') (ICC Rule 808) for
up to five consecutive business days, allowing ICC to reduce payment of
variation, or mark-

to-market, gains that would otherwise be owed to CPs, as ICC attempts a
secondary auction or conducts a partial tear-up.

Section 8 also discusses the tools that are available to ICC to address
a situation where ICC experiences liquidity shortfalls triggered by a
default of one or more CPs and has insufficient liquid resources in the
proper currency to meet payments obligations. These tools include
entering into transactions to exchange certain sovereign debt
securities for cash or to exchange U.S. dollar cash for Euro cash under
one of ICC's committed repurchase or committed foreign exchange
agreements, respectively.
    Additionally, Section 8 discusses the tools that would be available
to ICC in the event that ICC experiences severe stress triggered by a
non-CP default stress scenario, including the application of resources
from ICC (``Loss Resources'') and contributions from CPs (``Loss
Contributions'') to address certain investment and custodial losses.
ICC Rule 811 provides a mechanism for allocating investment losses and
custodial losses as between ICC and CPs, with ICC being responsible for
a first loss position up to the amount of defined resources and with
CPs being responsible for the remaining loss, in proportion to and
capped at their margin and GF contributions. Additional tools to
address non-CP default stress scenarios include insurance coverage,
seeking additional capital through the ICE group, renegotiating certain
agreements, and reducing personnel and other expenses.
    The proposed Recovery Plan further memorializes key information for
the purposes of recovery planning. In Section 9, ICC proposes to
describe the governance arrangements that provide oversight and
direction in respect of the Recovery Plan, including design,
implementation, testing, review, and on-going maintenance. Section 10
analyzes the financial resources maintained by ICC for recovery in
compliance with relevant regulations, including the procedures to
follow in case of any shortfall. This section also discusses the timing
for implementing ICC's recovery tools and ICC's projected estimated
recovery and wind-down costs. Section 11 provides financial information
relevant to ICC and ICE. Section 12 sets forth key systems used by ICC
to generate reports to monitor and support clearing operations. The
appendices in Section 13 include a glossary, diagrams and charts of
clearing processes and financial service providers, and analyses
related to different stress scenarios and recovery tools. Section 14
holds an index of exhibits to the proposed Recovery Plan.
ICC Wind-Down Plan
    The proposed Wind-Down Plan is designed to establish how ICC could
be wound-down in an orderly manner. The proposed Wind-Down Plan would
be used in the event that the recovery actions in the proposed Recovery
Plan failed to preserve ICC's viability as a going concern (and
therefore recovery was not possible) and resolution had not been
triggered. The proposed Wind-Down Plan could also be used in the event
that ICC made a business decision to exit all clearing activities. The
document is divided into 12 sections, which are detailed below.
    Similar to the proposed Recovery Plan, the proposed Wind-Down Plan
provides necessary background and context regarding ICC for wind-down
planning. Section 1 serves as an introduction that summarizes key
aspects of the Wind-Down Plan and explains the plan's purpose. Section
2 provides an overview of ICC and the regulation to which it is
subject. Section 3 describes the regulatory requirements applicable to
the Wind-Down Plan, including regulatory guidance from the Commission
that ICC considered in writing the plan and applicable regulatory
obligations, such as those under Rule 17ad-22(e)(3)(ii).\6\ Section 4
sets out ICC's CPs and the governance arrangements that are relevant to
wind-down, including the roles and responsibilities of the Board and
Risk Committee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(3)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed Wind-Down Plan describes the potential stress
scenarios that may prevent ICC from being able to meet obligations and
provide services, which may lead to wind-down. Section 5 categorizes
the stress scenarios into (i) CP default stress scenarios and (ii)
severe stress triggered by general business risks, operational risks,
or other risks that may threaten ICC's viability as a going concern,
other than a CP default (``non-CP default severe stress scenarios'').
Section 5 also discusses the triggering events for wind-down, such as a
critical reduction in market participation or a critical reduction in
ICC's financial resources below regulatory capital requirements. With
respect to a business decision to wind-down, the triggering event would
be the Board's decision to exit the business.
    The proposed Wind-Down Plan provides the framework for wind-down
and detailed plans for each wind-down option. Section 6 examines ICC's
wind-down options that consist of a transfer of CDS clearing activities
from ICC to an alternative clearinghouse, the sale of ICC to another
entity, or the termination of open positions. Under the plan, before a
wind-down decision would be made by the Board, ICC would consult with
market participants, potential alternative clearing houses, and
regulators, among others. The specific situation giving rise to the
wind-down, together with the results of the consultation, would inform
the specific wind-down option and corresponding execution plan. The
Board would consider and approve the execution plan prior to
implementation. Section 6 also details the plans for executing each
wind-down option, including the approach, timeline, potential
impediments, and other considerations. For transfer to be a viable
wind-down option, ICC would need to locate an appropriate alternative
clearing house that was willing and able to accept the transferred
positions. Wind-down through the sale option would most likely be
applicable in a non-default stress scenario where the financial assets
of ICC became constrained and the recovery tools failed to restore
ICC's capital. Regarding termination, if CPs could not agree on an
approach for liquidating/removing open cleared positions at ICC or did
not fully voluntarily liquidate/remove their open positions by the
deadline, the Board would tear-up any remaining open positions as
permitted under ICC Rule 810. Under the proposed Wind-Down Plan, to the
extent possible, the ability to continue providing centralized clearing
of CDS with as little disruption as possible would be the primary
determinant of feasibility for ICC's wind-down options. If continuation
was not feasible, the primary determinant would be the ability to
discontinue CDS clearing services in an orderly manner with minimum
negative impact to the marketplace and stakeholders. Where the Board
makes a business decision to wind-down, wind-down would be executed
using one or more of the wind-down options listed above. Section 6
further discusses potential obstacles to an orderly wind-down.
    The proposed Wind-Down Plan also provides fundamental information
about ICC's organization and operation for the purposes of wind-down
planning. Section 7 describes interconnections and interdependencies
between ICC and other entities. Similar to the Recovery Plan, Section 7
discusses the legal entities that are material to ICC for the Wind-Down
Plan, the critical services

provided to ICC by ICE or external third parties, and ICC's operational
and financial interconnections. This section considers the
interconnection between ICE and ICC, identifies critical service
providers, details IT systems and applications critical to ICC's
clearing operations, and identifies financial entities that have
multiple roles and relationships with ICC. Section 8 analyzes ICC's
contractual arrangements in the context of continuing services during
wind-down.
    The proposed Wind-Down Plan further memorializes key information
with respect to wind-down planning. Section 9 analyzes the financial
resources maintained by ICC to support wind-down in compliance with
relevant regulations, including the procedures to follow in case of any
shortfall. This section also discusses the timing for executing the
wind-down options and ICC's projected estimated recovery and wind-down
costs. In Section 10, ICC proposes to set out the governance
arrangements that provide oversight and direction in respect of the
Wind-Down Plan, including design, implementation, testing, review, and
on-going maintenance. The appendices in Section 11 contain a glossary,
diagrams and charts of clearing processes and financial service
providers, and analyses related to different stress scenarios. Section
12 holds an index of exhibits to the proposed Wind-Down Plan.
(b) Statutory Basis
    ICC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act \7\ and the regulations
thereunder applicable to it, including the applicable standards under
Rule 17Ad-22.\8\ In particular, Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \9\
requires that the rule change be consistent with the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and
derivative agreements, contracts and transactions cleared by ICC, the
safeguarding of securities and funds in the custody or control of ICC
or for which it is responsible, and the protection of investors and the
public interest. As discussed herein, the proposed rule change would
enhance ICC's ability to effectuate a successful recovery by describing
the actions that would be taken to restore ICC to a stable and
sustainable condition in the event that it came under severe stress and
maintain effective arrangements for ensuring that losses that threaten
ICC's viability as a going concern are allocated in the Recovery Plan.
The proposed rule change would further enhance ICC's ability to execute
an orderly wind-down by establishing the actions that would be taken
and the options that would be available to wind-down ICC in an orderly
manner in the Wind-Down Plan. The proposed Plans would thus promote
ICC's ability to continue providing clearing services with as little
disruption as possible, and should continuation not be feasible,
promote ICC's ability to discontinue clearing services in an orderly
manner with minimum negative impact to the marketplace and
stakeholders, thereby promoting the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions, derivatives agreements,
contracts, and transactions, the safeguarding of securities and funds
in the custody or control of ICC or for which it is responsible, and
the protection of investors and the public interest. Accordingly, in
ICC's view, the proposed rule change is consistent with the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions,
derivatives agreements, contracts, and transactions, the safeguarding
of securities and funds in the custody or control of ICC or for which
it is responsible, and the protection of investors and the public
interest, within the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\10\

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

    The proposed rule change would also satisfy the relevant
requirements of Rule 17Ad-22.\11\ Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2) \12\ requires, in
relevant part, each covered clearing agency to establish, implement,
maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably
designed to provide for governance arrangements that are (i) clear and
transparent; (ii) clearly prioritize the safety and efficiency of the
covered clearing agency; (iii) support the public interest requirements
of Section 17A of the Act \13\ applicable to clearing agencies, and the
objectives of owners and participants; (v) specify clear and direct
lines of responsibility; and (vi) consider the interests of
participants' customers, securities issuers and holders, and other
relevant stakeholders of the covered clearing agency. The proposed
Plans clearly and transparently set forth the governance arrangements
that are relevant to recovery and wind-down, including the roles and
responsibilities of the Board, applicable committees, and management.
The proposed Plans assign and document responsibility and
accountability for key recovery and wind-down decisions, such as
activating the Recovery Plan and deciding to wind-down the business,
and require consultation or approval from relevant parties. The
governance arrangements set out in the documents are designed to
provide meaningful consultation with stakeholders regarding key
recovery and wind-down actions to ensure consideration of the interests
of relevant stakeholders. Such governance arrangements further promote
the safety and efficiency of ICC and support the public interest
requirements in Section 17A of the Act \14\ applicable to clearing
agencies, and the objectives of owners and participants, by describing
the roles and responsibilities of the Board, committees, and management
to ensure that such groups have the appropriate knowledge and integrity
necessary to discharge their responsibilities and to clearly prioritize
the safety and efficiency of ICC so that it continues to provide safe
and sound central counterparty services in the context of recovery or
wind-down. As such, ICC believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2).\15\

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(3)(ii) \16\ requires each covered clearing agency
to establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to maintain a sound risk management
framework for comprehensively managing legal, credit, liquidity,
operational, general business, investment, custody, and other risks
that arise in or are borne by the covered clearing agency, which
includes plans for the recovery and orderly wind-down of the covered
clearing agency necessitated by credit losses, liquidity shortfalls,
losses from general business risk, or any other losses. As discussed
above, the proposed Recovery Plan is designed to establish ICC's
actions to maintain its viability as a going concern to address any
uncovered credit loss, liquidity shortfall, capital inadequacy, or
business, operational or other structural weakness that threatens ICC's
viability. The proposed Wind-Down Plan is designed to establish how ICC
could be wound-down in an orderly manner should its recovery efforts
fail. The proposed Plans establish centralized sources of information
on ICC's recovery and wind-down actions, which would promote ICC's
ability to carry out a successful recovery or orderly wind-down and
would also provide relevant information to

authorities needed for the purposes of recovery and wind-down planning.
The proposed Recovery Plan includes potential stress scenarios that may
prevent ICC from being able to meet obligations and provide services
and the recovery tools available to ICC to address such scenarios,
which would promote ICC's ability to carry out a successful recovery.
The proposed Wind-Down Plan also details potential stress scenarios and
their triggering events and the plans for executing each wind-down
option. Both Plans include analyses of ICC's contractual arrangements
in the context of continuing services during recovery or wind-down. The
proposed rule change would thus enhance ICC's recovery efforts and
ICC's ability to carry out an orderly wind-down, including by
documenting ICC's preparations for recovery and wind-down and by
describing the actions that ICC may take to effect a successful
recovery or orderly wind-down, consistent with the requirements of Rule
17Ad-22(e)(3)(ii).\17\

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(15) \18\ requires each covered clearing agency to
establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to identify monitor, and manage the
covered clearing agency's general business risk and hold sufficient
liquid net assets funded by equity to cover potential general business
losses so that the covered clearing agency can continue operations and
services as a going concern if those losses materialize, including by
(i) determining the amount of liquid net assets funded by equity based
upon its general business risk profile and the length of time required
to achieve a recovery or orderly wind-down, as appropriate, of its
critical operations and services if such action is taken; (ii) holding
liquid net assets funded by equity equal to the greater of either (x)
six months of the covered clearing agency's current operating expenses,
or (y) the amount determined by the Board to be sufficient to ensure a
recovery or orderly wind-down of critical operations and services of
the covered clearing agency, as contemplated by the plans established
under Rule 17ad-22(e)(3)(ii); and (iii) maintain a viable plan,
approved by the Board and updated at least annually, for raising
additional equity should its equity fall close to or below the amount
required under Rule 17ad-22(e)(15)(ii). The proposed Plans analyze
ICC's particular circumstances and risks to ensure that ICC maintains
financial resources necessary to implement both Plans and that ICC
remains in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements. The
proposed Plans analyze the financial resources maintained by ICC for
recovery and to support wind-down in compliance with relevant
regulations and include procedures to follow in case of any shortfall.
Moreover, the proposed Plans discuss ICC's timing for implementing the
recovery tools and for executing the wind-down options as well as ICC's
determination of the projected estimated recovery and wind-down costs.
These documents, including the analyses and estimations contained
therein, are further updated and subject to review and approval by the
Board at least annually and ensure that ICC holds sufficient liquid net
assets to achieve recovery or orderly wind-down. As such, ICC believes
that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of
Rule 17Ad-22(e)(15).\19\

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    ICC does not believe the proposed rule change would have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition. The proposed rule change
to update and formalize the Plans will apply uniformly across all
market participants. Therefore, ICC does not believe the proposed rule
change would impose any burden on competition that is inappropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not been
solicited or received. ICC will notify the Commission of any written
comments received by ICC.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. This AD
was prompted by in-service reports of passenger door tensator spring
failures, and qualification testing indicating that non-conforming
tensator springs could be susceptible to failure prior to reaching
their safe-life limit. This AD requires revising the maintenance or
inspection program to incorporate certain temporary revisions, and
replacing the passenger door tensator springs with new springs. We are
issuing this AD to prevent tensator spring failure, resulting in the
inability to open the main passenger door, which could impede
evacuation in the event of an emergency.

DATES: This AD is effective October 5, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of October 5,
2016.

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 Bombardier, Inc.
Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on March 4, 2016 (81 FR 11471) (``the NPRM'').
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2014-39, dated November 4, 2014 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-700-
1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Following the issuance of [Canadian] AD CF-2010-14, additional
qualification testing of the passenger door tensator spring, Part
Number (P/N) GS321-0580-1, determined that the tensator springs
could be susceptible to failure prior to reaching the life limit
mandated by [Canadian] AD CF-2010-14.
    In addition, there have been in-service reports of passenger
door tensator spring failures. Investigation determined that the
material used to manufacture the tensator springs [was] improperly
heat treated.
    The passenger door assembly is installed with four tensator
springs that assist the door actuator in opening and closing the
door. In-service experience has shown that a failed tensator spring
could uncoil and foul up the rotating tensator spools, resulting in
the inability to open the main passenger door. The inability to open
the main passenger door could impede evacuation in the event of an
emergency.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the revision to the approved
maintenance schedule to reduce the repetitive discard task interval
and mandates the replacement of non-conforming tensator springs.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
3989.

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.

Request To Include Service Information

    Bombardier, Inc. requested that we revise the Related Service
Information under 1 CFR part 51 section and paragraph (g) of the
proposed AD to include Temporary Revision (TR) 5-2-10, dated September
9, 2014, to Part 2, Section 5-10-11, of Bombardier Global 5000 GL 5000
Featuring Global Vision Flight Deck--Time Limits/Maintenance Checks.
    We agree to include TR 5-2-10, dated June 4, 2014, to Part 2,
Section 5-10-11, of Bombardier Global 5000 GL 5000 Featuring Global
Vision Flight Deck--Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, as requested by the
commenter. Our intent is to correspond with TCCA Canadian AD CF-2014-
39, dated November 4, 2014, which includes TR 5-2-9, dated September 9,
2014, to Part 2, Section 5-10-11, of Bombardier Global 5000 GL 5000
Featuring Global Vision Flight

Deck--Time Limits/Maintenance Checks. TR 5-2-10, dated June 4, 2014,
supersedes TR 5-2-9, dated September 9, 2014. We have included TR 5-2-
10, dated June 4, 2014, in paragraph (g)(2) of this AD and redesignated
subsequent paragraph identifiers accordingly. We have also included
that same TR in the Related Service Information under 1 CFR part 51
section of this final rule. Since the NPRM inadvertently did not
include a TR to Part 2, Section 5-10-11, of Bombardier Global 5000 GL
5000 Featuring Global Vision Flight Deck--Time Limits/Maintenance
Checks, we must make this change to avoid operators needing to ask for
approval of an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) to use a TR in
order to comply with the revision required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
    In addition, we have revised paragraph (g) of this AD to refer to
Task Number 52-11-41-101 because some TRs include multiple tasks. This
AD specifically addresses the passenger door tensator spring, part
number GS321-0580-1, and the task number in the TRs for that component
is 52-11-41-101.

Request To Correct Typographical Error

    Bombardier, Inc. requested that we revise paragraph (g)(2) of the
proposed AD to read ``Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes,'' instead of ``Model
BD-700-1A11 airplanes.''
    We agree. This was a typographical error, and has been corrected in
paragraph (g)(3) of this AD (paragraph (g)(2) of the proposed AD).

Request To Revise Compliance Time

    NetJets requested that we revise the proposed AD so that the
threshold for the initial spring replacement is based on the AD
effective date, and not the TR revision date. NetJets explained that
paragraph (g) of the proposed AD specifies that the compliance time for
the initial replacement is per the TRs listed in paragraphs (g)(1)
through (g)(4) of the proposed AD, or within 30 days after the AD
effective date, whichever occurs later. NetJets explained further that
the TRs base the threshold from the TR revision date of ``Jun 04/
2014,'' and that by the time the final rule is released, the threshold
in the TR will have been exceeded by approximately 2 years. NetJets
argued that, therefore, the final rule will effectively mandate a 30-
day threshold, which is an undue burden without technical
justification.
    We do not agree with the request to revise the compliance time in
this AD. The compliance time in this AD corresponds with the compliance
time in Canadian AD CF-2014-39, dated November 4, 2014. In addition,
the commenter did not provide any data to substantiate that extending
the compliance time would provide an acceptable level of safety. After
considering all the available information, we have determined that the
compliance time, as proposed, represents an appropriate interval of
time in which the required actions can be performed in a timely manner
within the affected fleet, while still maintaining an adequate level of
safety. Under the provisions of paragraph (k)(1) of this AD, however,
we may consider requests for adjustments to the compliance time if data
are submitted to substantiate that such an adjustment would provide an
acceptable level of safety. We have made no changes to this AD in this
regard.

Request To Allow for Later-Approved Revisions of Service Information

    NetJets requested that we revise the NPRM to add provisions to
allow later FAA-approved revisions to the time limits/maintenance
checks manuals (TLMCM), so that an approval of an AMOC will not be
required to incorporate the currently published TLMCM revision and
future revisions. NetJets explained that the TRs specified in
paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of the proposed AD have been
incorporated in revisions to the listed TLMCMs.
    We find that clarification is necessary. Once operators have
incorporated the task in the TR into their maintenance or inspection
program, the task cannot be changed without approval of an AMOC.
However, once the task in the TR is incorporated into the TLMCM,
operators that use the TLMCM are still in compliance because the task
has not changed. If a future revision of the TLMCM changes the task,
then an AMOC would be needed to use the revised task.
    We have revised paragraph (g) of this AD to clarify that the
revision may be done by inserting copies of the TRs identified in
paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(5) of this AD into the applicable TLMCM.
When the information in a TR has been included in general revisions of
the applicable TLMCM, the general revisions may be inserted in the
TLMCM, and the TR may be removed.

Request for Clarification of the Necessity for a Life Limit Requirement

    NetJets requested that we clarify the necessity for the life limit
requirement in paragraph (i) of the proposed AD. NetJets stated that
paragraph (i) of the proposed AD requires a threshold of ``. . . but
not exceeding the applicable life limit of the passenger tensator
spring . . .'' without identifying the referenced life limit, and noted
that the listed service information does not include a life limit
requirement.
    We agree to clarify the requirement specified in paragraph (i) of
this AD and the necessity for that requirement. The passenger door
assembly is installed with four tensator springs that assist the door
actuator in opening and closing the door. In-service experience has
shown that a failed tensator spring could uncoil and foul up the
rotating tensator spools, resulting in the inability to open the main
passenger door. The inability to open the main passenger door could
impede evacuation in the event of an emergency. The actions required by
this AD are necessary to address the identified unsafe condition.
    Paragraph (g) of this AD mandates the revision to the approved
maintenance schedule by incorporating TRs to reduce the repetitive
discard task interval. Paragraph (i) of this AD mandates, for certain
airplanes, the replacement of non-conforming tensator springs within 15
months after the effective date of this AD, but not exceeding the
applicable life limit of 1,500 landings for the component as listed in
the applicable TRs identified in paragraph (g) of this AD. The
replacement is necessary to ensure the airplanes identified in section
1.A., ``Effectivity,'' of Bombardier Global 5000 Service Bulletin 700-
1A11-52-023, dated October 4, 2013; or Bombardier Global Express/Global
Express XRS Service Bulletin 700-52-046, dated October 4, 2013, replace
the tensator springs within 15 months, as specified in that service
information, but not later than the new life limit. We have revised
paragraph (i) of this AD to refer to the TRs in paragraph (g) of this
AD for the life limit.

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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following Bombardier, Inc. service information:
     Bombardier Global 5000 Service Bulletin 700-1A11-52-023,
dated October 4, 2013.
     Bombardier Global Express/Global Express XRS Service
Bulletin 700-52-046, dated October 4, 2013.
     TR 5-2-7, dated June 4, 2014, to Part 2, Section 5-10-11,
of Bombardier Global Express XRS BD-700 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks
(for Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes).
     TR 5-2-10, dated September 9, 2014, to Part 2, Section 5-
10-11, of Bombardier Global 5000 GL 5000 Featuring Global Vision Flight
Deck--Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (for Model BD-700-1A11 airplanes).
     TR 5-2-10, dated September 9, 2014, to Part 2, Section 5-
10-11, of Bombardier Global 6000 GL 6000 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks
(for Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes).
     TR 5-2-13, dated June 4, 2014, to Part 2, Section 5-10-11,
of Bombardier Global 5000 BD-700 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (for
Model BD-700-1A11 airplanes).
     TR 5-2-44, dated June 4, 2014, to Part 2, Section 5-10-11,
of Bombardier Global Express BD-700 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks (for
Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes).
    The service information describes procedures for replacing
passenger door tensator springs with new springs. 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

    We estimate that this AD affects 60 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 40 work-hours per product
to comply with the 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 on U.S. operators to be $204,000, or $3,400 per product.
    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 costs in our cost
estimate.

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 that 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);
    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.

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision

    Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate
task number 52-11-41-101 as specified in the Temporary Revisions
(TRs) identified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(5) of this AD. The
compliance time for doing the initial replacement of the passenger
door tensator springs with new springs is at the times specified in
the applicable TR specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(5) of
this AD, or within 30 days after the effective date of this AD,
whichever occurs later. The revision required by this paragraph may
be done by inserting copies of the TRs identified in paragraphs
(g)(1) through (g)(5) of this AD into the applicable Time Limits/
Maintenance Checks manual. When the information in a TR has been
included in general revisions of the applicable Time Limits/
Maintenance Checks manual, the general revisions may be inserted in
the Time Limits/Maintenance Checks manual, and the TR may be
removed.
