II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Southern Maryland Boat Club of Leonardtown, MD, notified the
Coast Guard that from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 2, 2021, and from 8
a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 3, 2021, it will be conducting the Southern
Maryland Boat Club Piney Point Regatta on St. George Creek at Piney
Point, MD. In response, on June 25, 2021, the Coast Guard published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled ``Special Local Regulation;
St. Mary's River, St. George Creek, Piney Point, MD'' (86 FR 33598).
There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our
proposed regulatory action related to this high-speed power boat
demonstration event. During the comment period that ended July 26,
2021, we received no comments.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70041. The Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region (COTP)
has determined that potential hazards associated with the vintage and
historic racing power boat demonstration will be a safety concern for
anyone intending to participate in this event and for vessels that
operate within specified waters of the St. Mary's River. These hazards
include risks of injury or death resulting from near or actual contact
among participant vessels and spectator vessels or waterway users if
normal vessel traffic were to interfere with the event. Additionally,
such hazards include participants operating within and adjacent to
designated navigation channels and interfering with vessels intending
to operate within those channels as well as operating near approaches
to local public boat landings. The purpose of this rule is to protect
event participants, non-participants and transiting vessels before,
during, and after the scheduled event.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published June
25, 2021. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM.
    This rule establishes special local regulations from 7:30 a.m. on
October 2, 2021, through 5 p.m. on October 3,

2021. The regulations will be enforced from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
October 2, 2021, and from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 3, 2021. The
regulated area will cover all navigable waters of St. George Creek
within an area bounded by a line connecting the following points: From
the shoreline at Cedar Point at position latitude 38[deg]09'03.4'' N,
longitude 076[deg]29'55.7'' W; thence south along the shoreline to
Coade Bar at latitude 38[deg]08'22.5'' N, longitude 076[deg]29'19.9''
W; thence southwest across St. George Creek to Dodson Point at latitude
38[deg]08'03.8'' N, longitude 076[deg]29'44.6'' W; thence north along
the shoreline and the eastern extent of the St. George Island (SR-249)
Bridge to Long Bar (at the entrance to St. George Harbor) at latitude
38[deg]30'13.0''19'16.0'' N, longitude 076[deg]08'50.6'' W; thence
northeast across St. George Creek to and terminating at the point of
origin.
    This regulation provides additional information about areas within
the regulated area and their definitions and the restrictions that will
apply to mariners. These areas include ``Race Area,'' ``Buffer Area,''
and ``Spectator Area.''
    The duration of the special local regulations and size of the
regulated area are intended to ensure the safety of life on these
navigable waters before, during, and after the high-speed power boat
demonstration event, scheduled to take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on
October 2, 2021, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 3, 2021. The COTP
and the Coast Guard Event PATCOM will have authority to forbid and
control the movement of all vessels and persons, including event
participants, in the regulated area. When hailed or signaled by an
official patrol, a vessel or person in the regulated area will be
required to immediately comply with the directions given by the COTP or
Event PATCOM. If a person or vessel fails to follow such directions,
the Coast Guard may expel them from the area, issue them a citation for
failure to comply, or both.
    Except for Southern Maryland Boat Club Piney Point Regatta
participants and vessels already at berth, a vessel or person will be
required to get permission from the COTP or Event PATCOM before
entering the regulated area. Vessel operators will be able to request
permission to enter and transit through the regulated area by
contacting the Event PATCOM on VHF-FM channel 16. Vessel traffic will
be able to safely transit the regulated area once the Event PATCOM
deems it safe to do so. A vessel within the regulated area must operate
at safe speed that minimizes wake. A person or vessel not registered
with the event sponsor as a participant or assigned as official patrols
will be considered a spectator. Official patrols are any vessel
assigned or approved by the Commander, Coast Guard Sector Maryland-
National Capital Region with a commissioned, warrant, or petty officer
on board and displaying a Coast Guard ensign. Official patrols
enforcing this regulated area can be contacted on VHF-FM channel 16 and
channel 22A.
    If permission is granted by the COTP or Event PATCOM, a person or
vessel will be allowed to enter the regulated area or pass directly
through the regulated area as instructed. Vessels will be required to
operate at a safe speed that minimizes wake while within the regulated
area in a manner that will not endanger event participants or any other
craft. A spectator vessel must not loiter within the navigable channel
while within the regulated area. Official patrol vessels will direct
spectators to the designated spectator area. Only participant vessels
and official patrol vessels will be allowed to enter the race area. The
Coast Guard will publish a notice in the Fifth Coast Guard District
Local Notice to Mariners and issue a marine information broadcast on
VHF-FM marine band radio announcing specific event dates and times.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size and
duration of the regulated area, which will impact a small designated
area of St. George Creek for 19 total enforcement hours. This waterway
supports mainly recreational vessel traffic, which at its peak, occurs
during the summer season. Although this regulated area extends across
the entire width of the waterway, the rule will allow vessels and
persons to seek permission to enter the regulated area, and vessel
traffic able to do so safely will be able to transit the regulated area
on the eastern portion of the waterway away from the event area as
instructed by Event PATCOM. Such vessels must operate at safe speed
that minimizes wake and not loiter within the navigable channel while
within the regulated area. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the
status of the regulated area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves
implementation of regulations within 33 CFR part 100 applicable to
organized marine events on the navigable waters of the United States
that could negatively impact the safety of waterway users and shore
side activities in the event area for 19 total enforcement hours. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L61 of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A
Memorandum for the Record supporting this determination is available in
the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES
section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(l).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change: (1) Clarifies
certain specialist restrictions regarding potential conflicts of

each trading day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to list and trade principal protected notes,
the performance of which is linked to a basket comprised of an equal
weighting of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (the ``China 25 Index'' or
``Index'') and the following four commodities: copper, lead, nickel,
and zinc (the ``Metals-China Basket'' or ``Basket'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Amex's Web
site at http://www.amex.com, the Amex' Office of the Secretary, and at

the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Amex included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change, as
amended, and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule
change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places
specified in Item IV below. The Amex 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Under section 107A of the Amex Company Guide (``Company Guide''),
the Exchange may approve for listing and trading securities that cannot
be readily categorized under the listing criteria for common and
preferred stocks, bonds, debentures, or warrants.\5\ The Amex proposes
to list for trading under section 107A of the Company Guide principal
protected notes linked to the performance of the Metals-China Basket
(the ``Notes'').\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 27753 (March 1,
1990), 55 FR 8626 (March 8, 1990) (order approving File No. SR-Amex-
89-29).
    \6\ Wachovia Corporation (``Wachovia'') and FTSE/Xinhua Index
Limited (``FXI''), a joint venture between FTSE International
Limited and Xinhua Financial Network, have entered into a non-
exclusive license agreement providing for the use of the Xinhua
Index by Wachovia and certain affiliates and subsidiaries in
connection with certain securities including these Notes. FTSE/
Xinhua Index Limited is not responsible and will not participate in
the issuance and creation of the Notes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Wachovia will issue the Notes under the name ``Asset Return
Obligation Securities.'' The China 25 Index is determined, calculated
and maintained solely by FXI while the commodity prices are determined
by the cash settlement price of each respective commodity futures
contract traded on the London Metals Exchange (the ``LME''). The Notes
will provide for participation in the positive performance of the
Metals-China Basket during their term while reducing the risk exposure
to investors through principal protection.
    The Notes will conform to the initial listing guidelines under
section 107A \7\ and continued listing guidelines under sections 1001-
1003 \8\ of the Company Guide. The Notes are senior non-convertible
debt securities of Wachovia. The principal amount of each Note is
expected to be $1,000. The Notes are expected to have a term of at
least one (1) but no more than ten (10) years. At a minimum, the Notes
will entitle the owner at maturity to receive at least 100% of the
principal investment amount. At maturity, the holder would receive the
full principal investment amount of each Note plus the Basket
Performance Amount. The Basket Performance Amount is the greater of
zero and the product of $1,000 and the performance of the Basket as
adjusted by the adjustment factor (the ``Adjustment Factor'').\9\
Accordingly, if the performance of the Metals-China Basket is negative
or does not appreciate by greater than 7.2341% as of the Valuation
Date, a holder will nevertheless receive the principal investment
amount of the Note at maturity. The Notes are not callable by the
Issuer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The initial listing standards for the Notes require: (1) A
market value of at least $4 million; and (2) a term of at least one
year. Because the Notes will be issued in $1,000 denominations, the
minimum public distribution requirement of one million units and the
minimum holder requirement of 400 holders do not apply. In addition,
the listing guidelines provide that the issuer has assets in excess
of $100 million, stockholder's equity of at least $10 million, and
pre-tax income of at least $750,000 in the last fiscal year or in
two of the three prior fiscal years. In the case of an issuer which
is unable to satisfy the earning criteria stated in section 101 of
the Company Guide, the Exchange will require the issuer to have the
following: (1) Assets in excess of $200 million and stockholders'
equity of at least $10 million; or (2) assets in excess of $100
million and stockholders' equity of at least $20 million.
    \8\ The Exchange's continued listing guidelines are set forth in
sections 1001 through 1003 of part 10 to the Exchange's Company
Guide. Section 1002(b) of the Company Guide states that the Exchange
will consider removing from listing any security where, in the
opinion of the Exchange, it appears that the extent of public
distribution or aggregate market value has become so reduced to make
further dealings on the Exchange inadvisable. With respect to
continued listing guidelines for distribution of the Notes, the
Exchange will rely, in part, on the guidelines for bonds in section
1003(b)(iv). Section 1003(b)(iv)(A) provides that the Exchange will
normally consider suspending dealings in, or removing from the list,
a security if the aggregate market value or the principal amount of
bonds publicly held is less than $400,000.
    \9\ The Adjustment Factor is initially set at 100% and will be
reduced by a rate of 2% per annum compounded daily on an actual 365
day count. On any calendar day, the Adjustment Factor is equal to
(100%-(2%/365))n. ``n'' is the number of calendar days from but
excluding July 21, 2005 to and including the calendar day. The
Adjustment Factor as of the Valuation Date will be 93.2341%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The payment that a holder or investor of a Note will be entitled to
receive (the ``Maturity Payment Amount'') will depend on the
performance of the Metals-China Basket during the term of the Note. The
Metals-China Basket will not be managed and will remain static over the
term of the Notes.\10\ Performance of the Basket will be determined at
the close of the market on

the fifth business day (the ``Valuation Date'') prior to maturity of
the Notes. The Basket Starting Level will be 1,000 and the Basket
Ending Level will be the closing level of the underlying basket on the
Valuation Date, equal to the sum of the products of (i) the component
multiplier of each basket component and (ii) the closing price or level
of the respective basket component on the Valuation Date. The Basket
Ending Level is then adjusted by the Adjustment Factor as of the
Valuation Date. In the event that the Valuation Date occurs on a non-
trading day or if a market disruption event \11\ occurs on such date,
the Valuation Date will be the next trading day on which no market
disruption event occurs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Telephone Conference between Jeffrey Burns, Associate
General Counsel, Amex, and Florence Harmon, Senior Special Counsel,
Division of Market Regulation, Commission, on April 24, 2006. Amex
confirmed that the Metals-China Basket is not managed.
    \11\ A ``market disruption event'' is defined as the failure of
the primary market or related markets to open for trading during
regular trading hours or the occurrence or existence of any of the
following events: (i) A trading disruption, if material, at any time
during the one hour period that ends at the close of trading for a
relevant exchange or related exchange; (ii) an exchange disruption,
if material, at any time during the one hour period that ends at the
close of trading for a relevant exchange or related exchange; or
(iii) an early closure. A ``trading disruption'' generally means any
suspension of, or limitation, imposed on trading by the relevant
exchange or related exchange or otherwise, whether by reason of
movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant
exchange or related exchange or otherwise: (i) Relating to
securities that comprise 20% or more of the level of the Index; or
(ii) in options contracts or futures contracts relating to the Index
on any relevant related exchange. An ``exchange disruption'' means
any event (other than a scheduled early closure) that disrupts or
impairs the ability of market participants in general to: (i) Effect
transactions in, or obtain market values on, any relevant exchange
or related exchange in securities that comprise 20 percent or more
of the level of the Index or; (ii) effect transactions in options
contracts or futures contracts relating to the Index on any relevant
related exchange. A ``related exchange'' is an exchange or quotation
system on which futures or options contracts relating to the Index
are traded. See footnote 19, infra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At maturity, a holder will receive a maturity payment amount per
Note equal to $1,000 + Basket Performance Amount. If the Adjusted
Basket Ending Level is less than or equal to the Basket Starting Level,
the Basket Performance Amount will be zero and the Maturity Payment
Amount will be $1,000.
    The Basket Performance Amount per Note is equal to the greater of:
(i) Zero; and (ii)
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN03MY06.018

    The Maturity Payment Amount per Note will never be less than the
principal investment amount of $1,000.

Metals-China Basket

    The Basket is an equally-weighted basket of four commodities
(copper, lead, nickel, and zinc) and the China 25 Index. Each component
of the Basket will initially represent 20% of the Basket. The Basket is
not a recognized market index and was created solely for purpose of
offering the Notes. The Metals-China Basket will not be managed and
will remain static over the term of the Notes. The basket value will be
calculated and disseminated once each trading day. The Exchange
believes that this daily dissemination of an indicative basket amount
is appropriate because the Notes are a bond traded on Amex's debt
floor, the value of which is linked to the basket, and there will be no
creation or redemption of shares as there would be with an exchange-
traded fund (``ETF'').\12\

China 25 Index

    The China 25 Index is designed to represent the performance of the
largest companies in the mainland China equity market that are
available to international investors. The Index consists of the 25
largest and most heavily traded Chinese companies.\13\ The components
of the Index are weighted based on the free-float adjusted total market
value of their shares, so that securities with higher total market
values generally have a higher representation in the Index. Components
are screened for liquidity and weightings are capped to avoid over-
concentration in any one stock. The China 25 Index commenced
publication in March 2001. As of September 30, 2005, the top three
holdings were China Mobile, PetroChina and BOC Hong Kong, with the top
three industries being telecommunications, oil and gas, and banks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ All classes of equity securities in issue are eligible for
inclusion in the Index, subject to conforming with free-float and
liquidity restrictions. H shares and Red Chip shares are eligible
for inclusion in the Index. H shares are incorporated in China and
listed and traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. They are quoted
and traded in Hong Kong and U.S. dollars. Like other securities
trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, there are no restrictions
on who can trade H shares. Red Chip shares are incorporated in Hong
Kong and trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. They are quoted in
Hong Kong dollars. Red Chip companies may be substantially owned
directly or indirectly by the Chinese Government and have the
majority of their business interested in mainland China. H shares
and Red Chip shares trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, typically
on a T+2 basis, through a central book-entry system that the
Exchange states effectively guarantees settlement of exchange trades
by broker-dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As of September 30, 2005, the China 25 Index's components had a
total market capitalization of approximately $414 billion and a float-
adjusted market capitalization of approximately $55 billion.\14\ The
average total market capitalization was approximately $16.5 billion and
the average float-adjusted market capitalization was approximately $22
billion. The ten largest constituents represented approximately 62% of
the index weight. The 5 highest weighted stocks, which represented
41.7% of the index weight, had an average daily trading volume in
excess of $79 million globally during the past six (6) months.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Float-adjusted market capitalization includes shares
available in the market for public investment and reflects free
float adjustments to the Index in accordance with FTSE's free float
rules. Additional information regarding FTSE's free float adjustment
methodology is available on http://www.ftse.com.

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

    Component Selection Criteria. The China 25 Index is rule-based and
is monitored by a governing committee. The China 25 Index Committee
(the ``Index Committee'') is responsible for conducting quarterly
reviews of components and for making changes in accordance with
applicable procedures. The Index Committee is currently composed of 19
members, four of whom are currently affiliated with non-U.S. broker-
dealers. FTSE has represented that the FTSE, FXI, and the Index
Committee have adopted policies that prohibit the dissemination and use
of confidential and proprietary information about the Index and have
instituted procedures designed to prevent the improper dissemination or
the use of such information.
    Float-Adjusted Market Capitalization. When calculating a
component's index weight, shares held by governments, corporations,
strategic partners, or other control groups are excluded from the
company's shares outstanding. Shares owned by other companies are also
excluded, regardless of whether such

companies are index components. Where a foreign investment limit exists
at the sector or company level, the component's weight will reflect
either the foreign investment limit or the percentage float, whichever
is more restrictive. Component stocks are screened to ensure there is
sufficient liquidity to be traded. Factors in determining liquidity
include the availability of current and reliable price information and
the level of trading volume relative to shares outstanding. Value
traded and float turnover are also analyzed on a monthly basis to
ensure ample liquidity. Fundamental analysis is not part of the
selection criteria for inclusion or exclusion of stocks from the Index.
The financial and operating conditions of a company are not analyzed.
    Index Maintenance. The Index Committee is responsible for
undertaking the review of the China 25 Index and for approving changes
of components in accordance with the index rules and procedures. The
FTSE Global Classification Committee is responsible for the industry
classification of constituents of the Index within the FTSE Global
Classification System. The FTSE Global Classification Committee may
approve changes to the FTSE Global Classification System and Management
Rules. FXI appoints the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Index
Committee. The Chairman chairs meetings of the Committee and represents
the Committee in outside meetings. Adjustments to reflect a major
change in the amount or structure of a constituent company's issued
capital (before the quarterly review) will be made before the start of
the index calculation on the day on which the change takes effect.
Adjustments to reflect less significant changes (before the quarterly
review) will be implemented before the start of the index calculation
on the day following the announcement of the change. All adjustments
are made before the start of the index calculations on the day
concerned, unless market conditions prevent this. A company will be
inserted into the Index at the quarterly periodic review if it rises to
15th position or above when the eligible companies are ranked by full
market value before the application of any investibility weightings. A
company in the Index will be deleted at the quarterly periodic review
if it falls to 36th position or below when the eligible companies are
ranked by full market value before the application of any investibility
weightings. Any deletion to the Index will simultaneously entail an
addition to the Index to maintain 25 index constituents at all times.
    The China 25 Index is reviewed quarterly for changes in free float.
These reviews will coincide with the quarterly reviews undertaken of
the Index as a whole. Implementation of any changes will be after the
close of the index calculation on the third Friday in January, April,
July, and October.
    The quarterly review of the Index constituents takes place in
January, April, July, and October. Any changes will be implemented on
the next trading day following the third Friday of the same month of
the review meeting. Details of the outcome of the review and the dates
on which any changes are to be implemented will be published as soon as
possible after the Index Committee meeting has concluded its review.
    Index Dissemination. The Index is calculated in real time and
published every minute during the index period (09:15-16:00 Local Hong
Kong Time) or (17:15-24:00 U.S. PDT). It is available, by subscription,
published every minute, directly from FTSE and from the following
vendors: Reuters, Bloomberg, Telekurs, FTID, and LSE/Proquote. The end
of day index value, based on last sale prices, is distributed at 16:15
(Local Hong Kong Time). This end of day index value is also made
available to the Financial Times Asia edition and other major
newspapers and will be available at the FTSE Index Services Web site:
http://www.ftse.com. The Index is calculated using Hong Kong Stock

Exchange trade prices and Reuter's realtime spot currency rates, as
described below. A total return index value that takes into account
reinvested dividends is published daily at the end of day. The Index is
not calculated on days that are holidays in Hong Kong. The daily
closing index value, historical values, constituents' weighting,
constituents' market capitalization and daily percentage changes are
publicly available from http://www.ftsexinhua.com. All corporate

actions and rules relating to the management of the indices are also
available from the Web site.
    Exchange Rates and Pricing. FXI calculates the value of the Index
using Reuters real-time foreign exchange spot rates and local stock
exchange real-time, last sale security prices. The underlying Index is
calculated in Hong Kong Dollars, using Hong Kong Stock Exchange trade
prices. Non-Hong Kong Dollar denominated constituent prices are
converted to Hong Kong Dollars in order to calculate the value of the
underlying Index. Thus, the Reuter's foreign exchange rates and Hong
Kong Stock Exchange prices received at the closing time of the
underlying Index will be used to calculate the final underlying Index
value each day.
    The Commission has previously approved the listing of securities
linked to the performance of the China 25 Index.\15\

Commodities: Copper, Lead, Nickel, and Zinc

    Commodity prices are volatile and, although ultimately determined
by the interaction of supply and demand, are subject to many other
influences, including the psychology of the marketplace and speculative
assessments of future world and economic events. Political climate,
interest rates, treaties, balance of payments, exchange controls and
other governmental interventions, as well as numerous other variables
affect the commodity markets, and even with complete information it is
impossible for any trader to reliably predict commodity prices.
    Copper. The Exchange states that copper was the first mineral that
man extracted from the earth and along with tin gave rise to the Bronze
Age. As the ages and technology progressed, the uses for copper
increased. With the increased demand, exploration for the metal was
extended throughout the world, laying down the foundations for the
industry as we know it today. Copper is an excellent conductor of
electricity, as such one of its main industrial usage is for the
production of cable, wire and electrical products for both the
electrical and building industries. The construction industry also
accounts for copper's second largest usage in such areas as pipes for
plumbing, heating, and ventilating as well as building wire and sheet
metal facings.
    The price of copper is volatile with fluctuations expected to
affect the value of the Notes. The closing price of copper is
determined by reference to the official U.S. dollar cash settlement
price per ton of the copper futures contract traded on the LME. The
price of copper is primarily affected by the global demand for and
supply of copper.
    Demand for copper is significantly influenced by the level of
global industrial economic activity. Industrial sectors which are
particularly important

include the electrical and construction sectors. In recent years demand
has been supported by strong consumption from newly industrializing
countries, which continue to be in a copper-intensive period of
economic growth as they develop their infrastructure (such as China).
An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments
to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing
levels. Apart from the United States, Canada, and Australia, the
majority of copper concentrate supply (the raw material) comes from
outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
countries. Chile is the largest producer of copper concentrate. In
previous years, copper supply has been affected by strikes, financial
problems, and terrorist activity. Output has fallen particularly
sharply in the ``African Copperbelt'' and in Bougainville, Papua New
Guinea.
    The price of copper during the period January 2001 through
September 2005, ranged from a high of $3,978 per ton in September 2005
to a low of $1,319 per ton in November 2001. As of September 30, 2005,
the spot price as provided by that day's spot copper futures contract
was $3,949 per ton.
    Lead. Being very soft and pliable and highly resistant to
corrosion, lead was ideal for use in plumbing as well as for the
manufacture of pewter. In the early 20th century, the Exchange states
that the automotive industry took off and new areas of consumption--
batteries and petrol--created an enormous market. Storage batteries
remain the main outlet but lead-free fuels have caused a decline in
usage. Ironically, environmental issues have brought about new uses for
the metal, particularly in the housing of power generation units to
protect against electrical charges or dangerous radiation.
    Changes in the price of lead are expected to affect the value of
the Notes. The closing price of lead is determined by reference to the
official U.S. dollar cash settlement price per ton of the lead futures
contract traded on the LME. The price of lead is primarily affected by
the global demand for and supply of lead. Demand for lead is
significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic
activity. The storage battery market is extremely important given that
the use of lead in the manufacture of batteries accounts for
approximately two-thirds of worldwide lead demand. Lead is also used to
house power generation units as it protects against electrical charges
and dangerous radiation. Additional applications of lead include petrol
additives, pigments, chemicals and crystal glass. The supply of lead is
widely spread around the world. It is affected by current and previous
price levels, which influences important decisions regarding new mines
and smelters. A critical factor influencing supply is the environmental
regulatory regimes of the countries in which lead is mined and
processed. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or
any combination of these factors.
    The price of lead during the period January 2001 through September
2005 ranged from a high of $1,056 per ton in December 2004 to a low of
$425 per ton in October 2002. As of September 30, 2005, the spot price
as provided by that day's spot lead futures contract was $975 per
ton.\16\

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

    Nickel. In the mid 18th century, the Exchange states that primary
nickel was first isolated as a separate metal. Prior to this, it was
found in copper mines and thought to be an unsmeltable copper ore.
Primary nickel can resist corrosion and maintains its physical and
mechanical properties even when placed under extreme temperatures. When
these properties were recognized, the development of primary nickel
began. It was found that by combining primary nickel with steel, even
in small quantities, the durability and strength of the steel increased
significantly, as did its resistance to corrosion. This partnership has
remained and the production of stainless steel is now the single
largest consumer of primary nickel today. This highly useful metal is
also used in the production of many different metal alloys for
specialized use.
    Changes in the price of nickel are expected to affect the value of
the Notes. The closing price of nickel is determined by reference to
the official U.S. dollar cash settlement price per ton of the nickel
futures contract traded on the LME. The price of nickel is primarily
affected by the global demand for and supply of nickel. Demand for
nickel is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial
economic activity. The stainless steel industrial sector is
particularly important given that the use of nickel in the manufacture
of stainless steel accounts for approximately two-thirds of worldwide
nickel demand. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand
is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity
and/or pricing levels. Nickel supply is dominated by Russia, the
world's largest producer by far. Australia and Canada are also large
producers. The supply of nickel is also affected by current and
previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new
mines and smelters. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect
of all or any combination of these factors.
    The price of nickel during the period January 2001 through
September 2005 ranged from a high of $17,770 per ton in January 2004 to
a low of $4,420 per ton in October 2001. As of September 30, 2005, the
spot price per ton for nickel as provided by that day's spot nickel
futures contract was $13,600 per ton.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Telephone Conference between Jeffrey Burns, Associate
General Counsel, Amex, and Florence Harmon, Senior Special Counsel,
Division of Market Regulation, Commission, on April 24, 2006. Amex
confirmed that the spot price for nickel was calculated per ton.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Zinc. Zinc is commonly mined as a co-product with standard lead,
and both metals have growing core markets for their consumption. For
zinc, the main market is galvanizing, which accounts for almost half
its modern-day demand. Zinc's electropositive nature enables metals to
be readily galvanized, which gives added protection against corrosion
to building structures, vehicles, machinery, and household equipment.
    Changes in the price of zinc are expected to affect the value of
the Notes. The closing price of zinc is determined by reference to the
official U.S. dollar cash settlement price per ton of the zinc futures
contract traded on the LME. The price of zinc is primarily affected by
the global demand for and supply of zinc. Demand for zinc is
significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic
activity. The galvanized steel industrial sector is particularly
important given that the use of zinc in the manufacture of galvanized
steel accounts for approximately 50% of world-wide zinc demand. The
galvanized steel sector is in turn heavily dependent on the automobile
and construction sectors. A relatively widespread increase in the
demand for zinc by the galvanized steel sector, particularly in China
and the United States, has been the primary cause of the recent rise in
zinc prices. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is
adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity
and/or pricing levels. The supply of zinc concentrate (the raw
material) is dominated by China, Australia, North America, and Latin
America. The supply of zinc is also affected by current and previous
price levels, which will influence investment

decisions in new mines and smelters. It is not possible to predict the
aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.
    The price of zinc during the period January 2001 through September
2005 ranged from a high of $1,439 per ton in September 2005 to a low of
$725.5 per ton in August 2002. As of September 30, 2005, the spot price
per ton for zinc as provided by that day's spot zinc futures contract
was $1,411 per ton.\18\

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

The LME

    The LME was established in 1877. The Exchange states that the LME
is the principal metals exchange in the world on which contracts for
the future delivery of copper, lead, zinc, and nickel are traded. In
contrast to U.S. futures exchanges, the LME operates as a principals'
market for the trading of forward contracts and is therefore more
closely analogous to over-the-counter physical commodity markets than
futures markets in the U.S. As a result, members of the LME trade with
each other as principals and not as agents for customers, although such
members may enter into offsetting ``back-to-back'' contracts with their
customers. In addition, while futures exchanges permit trading to be
conducted in contracts for monthly delivery in stated delivery months,
historically, LME contracts were established for delivery on any day
(referred to as a ``prompt date'') from one day to three months
following the date of the contract (i.e., the average amount of time it
took a ship to sail from certain Commonwealth countries to London).
Currently, LME contracts may be established for monthly delivery up to
63, 27, and 15 months forward (depending on the commodity). Further,
because it is a principals' forward market, there are no price limits
applicable to LME contracts, and therefore, prices may decline without
limitation over a period of time. Trading is conducted on the basis of
warrants that cover physical material held in listed warehouses.
    The LME is not a cash cleared market. Both inter-office and floor
trading are cleared and guaranteed by a system run by the London
Clearing House, whose role is to act as a central counterparty to
trades executed between clearing members. The LME is subject to
regulation by the Securities and Investment Board (``SIB'') in the
United Kingdom. The bulk of trading on the LME is transacted through
inter-office dealing that allows the LME to operate as a 24-hour
market. Trading on the floor takes place in two sessions daily, from
11:40 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. and from 3:10 p.m. to 4:35 p.m., London time.
The two sessions are each broken down into two rings made up of five
minutes' trading in each contract. After the second ring of the first
session, the official prices for the day are announced. Contracts may
be settled by offset or delivery and can be cleared in U.S. dollars,
pounds sterling, Japanese yen, and euros. Copper has traded on the LME
since its establishment. The copper contract was upgraded to high grade
copper in November 1981 and again to today's Grade-A contract which
began trading in June 1986. Nickel joined the exchange in April 1979.
The LME share (by weight) of world terminal market trading is over 90%
of all copper and virtually all lead, nickel, and zinc.

Commodity Market Regulation

    The Exchange states that the LME provides the trading environment
for the four commodities of copper, lead, nickel, and zinc (as well as
several others) and is required to ensure that business in its market
is conducted in an orderly manner for the protection of investors. The
members of the LME are the institutions involved in trading with each
other and with their customers. Regulation of the market is largely
carried out by the LME subject to SIB oversight with the Financial
Services Authority (the ``FSA'') responsible for regulating the
financial soundness and conduct of LME members. Market participants are
generally subject to a range of requirements, including fitness and
properness, capital adequacy, liquidity, and systems controls. The FSA
is responsible for regulating investment products, including
derivatives, and those who deal in investment products.
    Approved as a recognized investment exchange (``RIE'') and
conforming with U.K. and other international regulatory requirements,
the LME provides price and volume transparency and audit trails. The
Exchange states that LME members operate in a strict regulatory
environment policed by the FSA. To ensure compliance with its
regulatory obligations, the LME has a compliance department under the
supervision of its executive director of regulation and compliance.
This department monitors the market and member positions in order to
analyze developments and ensure that the LME is meeting its regulatory
responsibilities.
    The Notes are cash-settled in U.S. dollars and do not give the
holder any right to receive a portfolio security, dividend payments, or
any other ownership right or interest in the portfolio or index of
securities comprising the Metals-China Basket. The Notes are designed
for investors who desire to participate or gain exposure to the Metals-
China Basket, are willing to hold the investment to maturity, and who
want to limit risk exposure by receiving principal protection of their
investment amount.

Trading

    Because the Notes are issued in $1,000 denominations, the Amex's
existing debt floor trading rules will apply to the trading of the
Notes.\19\ First, pursuant to Amex Rule 411, the Exchange will impose a
duty of due diligence on its members and member firms to learn the
essential facts relating to every customer prior to trading the
Notes.\20\ Second, even though the trading of the notes will occur on
the debt trading floor subject to the debt trading rules of the
Exchange, the Notes will be subject to the equity margin rules of the
Exchange.\21\ Third, the Exchange will, prior to trading the Notes,
distribute a circular to the membership providing guidance with regard
to member firm compliance responsibilities (including suitability
recommendations) when handling transactions in the Notes and
highlighting the special risks and characteristics of the Notes. With
respect to suitability recommendations and risks, the Exchange will
require members, member organizations and employees thereof
recommending a transaction in the Notes: (1) To determine that such
transaction is suitable for the customer, and (2) to have a reasonable
basis for believing that the customer can evaluate the special
characteristics of, and is able to bear the financial risks of, such
transaction. In addition, Wachovia will

deliver a prospectus in connection with the initial sales of the Notes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ Because the Notes are principal protected, the Exchange has
not set out specific criteria for trading halts. However, if a
``market disruption event'' occurs that is of more than a temporary
nature, the Exchange will cease trading the Notes. In the event a
``market disruption event'' occurs that is of more than a temporary
nature, the Exchange would immediately contact the Commission to
discuss measures that may be appropriate under the circumstances.

    \20\ Amex Rule 411 requires that every member, member firm or
member corporation use due diligence to learn the essential facts,
relative to every customer and to every order or account accepted.

    The Exchange represents that its surveillance procedures are
adequate to properly monitor the trading of the Notes. Specifically,
the Amex will rely on its existing surveillance procedures governing
equities, which have been deemed adequate under the Act. In addition,
the Exchange also has a general policy which prohibits the distribution
of material, non-public information by its employees.
    Exchange surveillance procedures applicable to trading in the
proposed Notes will be similar to those applicable to other index-
linked notes listed and traded on the Exchange. The Exchange also has
in place a comprehensive surveillance agreement with the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange.\22\ In addition, the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing
Ltd. (``HKEx''), which is the clearing house for both the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Futures Exchange, is currently an
affiliate member of the Intermarket Surveillance Group (``ISG''). In
addition, the Exchange has negotiated an Information Sharing Agreement
with the LME regarding the sharing of information related to any
financial instrument based, in whole or in part, upon an interest in or
performance of copper, lead, nickel, and zinc.

    The listing and trading of the China-Metals Notes will be subject
to Amex Rules 1203A and 1204A applicable to Commodity-Based Trust
Shares. Amex Rule 1203A addresses potential conflicts of interest and
provides that the prohibitions in the Amex Rule 175(c) apply to a
specialist in the Notes so that the specialist or affiliated person may
not act or function as a market maker in the underlying commodities,
related futures contracts or option on commodity future, or any other
related commodity derivative. An affiliated person of the specialist,
consistent with the Amex Rule 193, may be afforded an exemption to act
in a market making capacity, other than as a specialist in the Notes on
another market center, in the underlying commodities, related futures
or options or any other related commodity derivative. More
specifically, Amex Rule 1203A provides that an approved person of the
specialist that has established and obtained Exchange approval for
procedures restricting the flow of material, non-public market
information between itself and the specialist member organization, and
any member, officer, or employee associated therewith, may act in a
market making capacity, other than as a specialist in the Notes, on
another market center in the underlying commodity, related commodity
futures or options on commodity futures, or any other related commodity
derivatives.
    Amex Rule 1204A requires that specialists provide the Exchange with
all the necessary information relating to their trading in physical
commodities and related futures contracts and options thereon or any
other related commodities derivative. Amex Rule 1204A states that, in
connection with trading the physical asset or commodities, futures or
options on futures, or any other related derivatives, the use of
material, non-public information received from any person associated
with a member, member organization, or employee of such person
regarding trading by such person or employee in the physical asset or
commodities, futures or options on futures, or any other related
derivatives is prohibited by the Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with section 6 of the Act \23\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of section 6(b)(5) \24\ in particular, in that it is
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system.

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Designated New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and Minor
Species

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the paperwork associated with
designation under the Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) Act.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the collection
of information by September 3, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug

Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All
comments should be identified with the docket number found in brackets
in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Domini Bean, Office of Information
Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50-400T,
Rockville, MD 20850,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Designated New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and Minor Species--21 CFR
Part 516 (OMB Control Number 0910-0605)--Extension

    Description: The Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) Animal Health
Act of 2004 amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C
Act) to authorize FDA to establish new regulatory procedures intended
to make more medications legally available to veterinarians and animal
owners for the treatment of minor animal species as well as uncommon
diseases in major animal species. This legislation provides incentives
designed to help pharmaceutical companies overcome the financial
burdens they face in providing limited-demand animal drugs. These
incentives are only available to sponsors whose drugs are ``MUMS-
designated'' by FDA. Minor use drugs are drugs for use in major species
(cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats) that are
needed for diseases that occur in only a small number of animals either
because they occur infrequently or in limited geographic areas. Minor
species are all animals other than the major species; for example, zoo
animals, ornamental fish, parrots, ferrets, and guinea pigs. Some
animals of agricultural importance are also minor species. These
include animals such as sheep, goats, catfish, and honeybees.
Participation in the MUMS program is completely optional for drug
sponsors so the associated paperwork only applies to those sponsors who
request and are subsequently granted ``MUMS designation.'' The rule
specifies the criteria and procedures for requesting MUMS designation
as well as the annual reporting requirements for MUMS designees.
    Section 516.20 (21 CFR 516.20) provides requirements on the content
and format of a request for MUMS-drug designation; Sec.  516.26 (21 CFR
516.26) provides requirements for amending MUMS-drug designation;
provisions for change in sponsorship of MUMS-drug designation can be
found under Sec.  516.27 (21 CFR 516.27); under Sec.  516.29 (21 CFR
516.29) are provisions for termination of MUMS-drug designation; under
Sec.  516.30 (21 CFR 516.30) are requirements for annual reports from
sponsor(s) of MUMS-designated drugs; and under Sec.  516.36 (21 CFR
516.36) are provisions for insufficient quantities of MUMS-designated
drugs.
    Description of Respondents: Pharmaceutical companies that sponsor
new animal drugs.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0593; Directorate Identifier 98-ANE-48-AD;
Amendment 39-16584; AD 2011-03-01]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney JT8D-7, -7A, -7B, -9, -
9A, -11, -15, -15A, -17, -17A, -17R, and -17AR Series Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT8D-1, -1A, -1B, -7, -7A, -7B, -9, -9A, -11,
-15, -15A, -17, -17A, -17R, and -17AR series turbofan engines. That AD
currently requires revisions to the engine manufacturer's time limits
section (TLS) to include enhanced inspection of selected critical life-
limited parts at each piece-part opportunity. This AD modifies the TLS
of the manufacturer's engine manual and an air carrier's approved
continuous airworthiness maintenance program to incorporate additional
inspection requirements and reduce the model applicability. This AD was
prompted by PW developing, and the FAA approving, improved inspection
procedures for the critical life-limited parts. The mandatory
inspections are needed to identify those critical rotating parts with
conditions which, if allowed to continue in service, could result in
uncontained failures. We are issuing this AD to prevent critical life-
limited rotating engine part failure, which could result in an
uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective March 4, 2011.

ADDRESSES:

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The address for the
Docket Office (phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>) is Document Management Facility,
U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West
Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,
Washington, DC 20590.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ian Dargin, Aerospace Engineer, Engine

England Executive Park, Burlington, MA 01803; phone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax
(781) 238-7199; e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2005-25-05, Amendment
39-14398 (70 FR 73361, December 12, 2005). That AD applies to the
specified products. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
August 18, 2010 (75 FR 50942). That NPRM proposed to modify the TLS of
the manufacturer's engine manual and an air carrier's approved
continuous airworthiness maintenance program to incorporate additional
inspection requirements and reduce the model applicability. PW has
developed and the FAA has approved improved inspection procedures for
the critical life-limited parts. The mandatory inspections are needed
to identify those critical rotating parts with conditions which, if
allowed to continue in service, could result in uncontained failures.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 1,527 JT8D -7, -7A, -7B, -9, -
9A, -11, -15, -15A, -17, -17A, -17R, and -17AR series turbofan engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will
take about 10 work-hours per engine to perform the actions, and that
the average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Since this is an added
inspection requirement, included as part of the normal maintenance
cycle, no additional part costs are involved. Based on these figures,
we estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be
$1,297,950.

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 have 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 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-14398 (70 FR
73361, December 12, 2005), and by adding a new airworthiness directive,
Amendment 39-16584, to read as follows:

2011-03-01 Pratt & Whitney: Amendment 39-16584. Docket No. FAA-2010-
0593; Directorate Identifier 98-ANE-48-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective March 4,
2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2005-25-05, Amendment 39-14398.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT8D-7, -7A, -7B, -
9, -9A, -11, -15, -15A, -17, -17A, -17R, and -17AR series turbofan
engines. These engines are installed on, but not limited to, Boeing
727 and 737 series, and McDonnell Douglas DC-9 series airplanes.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from the need to require enhanced inspection
of selected critical life-limited parts of PW JT8D series turbofan
engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent critical life-limited
rotating engine part failure, which could result in an uncontained
engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Compliance

    (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified unless the
actions have already been done.
    (f) Within the next 30 days after the effective date of this AD,
(1) revise the Time Limits Section (TLS) of the manufacturer's
engine manual, part number 481672, as appropriate for PW JT8D-7, -
7A, -7B, -9, -9A, -11, -15, -15A, -17, -17A, -17R, and -17AR series
turbofan engines, and (2) for air carriers, revise the approved
mandatory inspections section of the continuous airworthiness
maintenance program, by adding the following:
    ``Critical Life Limited Part Inspection
    A. Inspection Requirements:
    (1) This section has the definitions for individual engine
piece-parts and the inspection procedures which are necessary when
these parts are removed from the engine.
    (2) It is necessary to do the inspection procedures of the

    (b) The part has accumulated more than 100 cycles since the last
piece-part inspection, provided that the part was not damaged or
related to the cause for its removal from the engine.
    (3) The inspections specified in this paragraph do not replace
or make not necessary other recommended inspections for these parts
or other parts.
    B. Parts Requiring Inspection:
    Note: Piece-part is defined as any of the listed parts with all
the blades removed.

notwithstanding contrary provisions in section 43.16 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.16), these mandatory inspections
shall be performed only in accordance with the TLS of the
manufacturer's engine manual.

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC)

    (i) You must perform these mandatory inspections using the TLS
of the manufacturer's engine manual unless you receive approval to
use an AMOC under paragraph (j) of this AD. Section 43.16 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.16) may not be used to
approve alternative methods of compliance or adjustments to the
times in which these inspections must be performed.
    (j) The Manager, Engine Certification Office, has the authority
to approve alternative methods of compliance for this AD if
requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

Maintaining Records of the Mandatory Inspections

    (k) You have met the requirements of this AD when you revise the
TLS of the manufacturer's engine manual as specified in paragraph
(f) of this AD. For air carriers operating under part 121 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 121), you have met the
requirements of this AD when you modify your continuous
airworthiness maintenance plan to reflect those changes. You do not
need to record each piece-part inspection as compliance to this AD,
but you must maintain records of those inspections according to the
regulations governing your operation. For air carriers operating
under part 121, you may use either the system established to comply
with section 121.369 or an alternative accepted by your principal
maintenance inspector if that alternative:
    (1) Includes a method for preserving and retrieving the records
of the inspections resulting from this AD; and
    (2) Meets the requirements of section 121.369(c); and
    (3) Maintains the records either indefinitely or until the work
is repeated.
    (l) These record keeping requirements apply only to the records
used to document the mandatory inspections required as a result of
revising the TLS of the manufacturer's engine manual as specified in
paragraph (f) of this AD. These record keeping requirements do not
alter or amend the record keeping requirements for any other AD or
regulatory requirement.

Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications; Corral
Creek South Hydro, LLC

    On April 3, 2012, Corral Creek South Hydro, LLC, filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the
Corral Creek Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project (project) to be
located near Twin Falls in Twin Falls County, Idaho. The sole purpose
of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder
priority to file a license application during the permit term. A
preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any
land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following new facilities:
(1) A 180-foot-high, 8,400-foot-long upper earthen dam; (2) an upper
reservoir with surface area of 118 acres, storage capacity of 9,120
acre-feet, and maximum pool elevation of 6,620 feet mean sea level
(msl); (3) a 200-foot-high, 4,140-foot-long lower earthen dam; (4) a
lower reservoir with surface area of 113 acres, storage capacity of
10,880 acre-feet, and maximum pool elevation of 5,500 feet msl; (5) a
30-foot-diameter, 4,710-foot-long steel penstock; (6) a powerhouse
containing 4 pump/turbine units with a total installed capacity of
1,100 megawatts; (7) a 10.6-mile-long, 500-kilovolt transmission line;
and (8) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the
project would be 3,212 gigawatt-hours.

GENERAL SUBJECT : Copper in Wastewater Discharges from the Printing and Publishing Industry TOPICS DISCUSSED AND ACTION TAKEN I called Ms. Janet Schmidt to discuss the sources of copper in printing and publishing wastewater discharges. Quebecor World Buffalo Inc. is one of the top 5 copper dischargers based on information from the TRI database.

Ms. Schmidt explained that copper in wastewater discharges comes mainly from the copper plating operation in the gravure printing process. Rinsing and polishing after plating releases copper into the wastewater. She added that other sources of copper releases include copper in printing inks ( especially blue and green pigments) which goes to sludge, and recycled copper plated printing cylinders, where copper is removed and is sent for recovery. She also informed me that concentrations of copper in the wastewater are estimated through back calculation based on the amount of copper in the filter cake and the efficiency of the pretreatment system.

Ms. Schmidt estimated wastewater discharges to be approximately 175 pounds per year, based on 2003 TRI data.

Quebecor Buffalo performs rotogravure, flexographic and lithographic offset printing.
