14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-0171; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-220-AD;
Amendment 39-15330; AD 2008-01-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD), that applies to certain Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. That
AD currently requires modification of certain wires in the right-hand
(RH) wing. This new AD requires further modification by installing an
additional protection sleeve and segregating route 2S in the RH pylon
area. This AD results from analysis of wire routing that revealed that
route 2S of the fuel electrical circuit, located in the RH wing, does
not provide adequate separation of fuel quantity indication wires from
wires carrying 115-volt alternating current (AC). We are issuing this
AD to ensure that fuel quantity indication wires are properly separated
from wires carrying 115-volt AC. Improper separation of such wires, in
the event of wire damage, could lead to a short circuit and a possible
ignition source, which could result in a fire in the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 20, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of February 20,
2008.
    On September 3, 2004 (69 FR 45578, July 30, 2004), the Director of
the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Airbus
Service Bulletin A310-28-2148, Revision 01, dated October 29, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2004-15-16, amendment
39-13750 (69 FR 45578, July 30, 2004). The existing AD applies to
certain Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. That NPRM was published in
the Federal Register on November 9, 2007 (72 FR 63506). That NPRM
proposed to continue to require modification of certain wires in the
right-hand (RH) wing. That NPRM also proposed to require further
modification by installing an additional protection sleeve and
segregating route 2S in the RH pylon area.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. No comments have been received on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

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

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); and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
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 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends Sec.  39.13 by
removing amendment 39-13750 (69 FR 45578, July 30, 2004) and by adding
the following new airworthiness directive (AD):

2008-01-05 Airbus: Amendment 39-15330. Docket No. FAA-2007-0171;
Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-220-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This AD becomes effective February 20, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2004-15-16.

Pine oil contains a minimum of 60% isomeric secondary and tertiary cyclic terpene alcohols and a maximum of 40% non terpene alcohol components consisting of terpene hydrocarbons, terpene ether, and ketones. This complex blend forms a sole active ingredient containing no impurities.

Pine Oil is registered for use as a disinfectant, sanitizer, microbiocide/ microbiostat, virucide, and insecticide for indoor food use, indoor non food use, indoor residential use, indoor medical use, and aquatic non food industrial use.

This reports summarized the potential health effects of phenol in humans, reported as incident reports from different sources.

Two approaches are used in this section:

° The potential health effects of phenol in humans, reported as incident reports from different sources, are summarized.

° A literature search of health effects associated with pine oil exposure, including results of epidemiological studies, are summarized.

1.0 INCIDENT REPORT DATA ASSOCIATED WITH HEALTH EFFECTS OF PINE OIL EXPOSURE The following databases have been consulted for the poisoning incident data a. OPP Incident Data System ( IDS)  The Incident Data System of The Office of Pesticide Programs ( OPP) of the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) contains reports of incidents from various sources, including registrants, other federal and state health and environmental agencies and individual consumers, submitted to OPP since 1992. Reports submitted to the Incident Data System represent anecdotal reports or allegations only, unless otherwise stated. Typically no conclusions can be drawn implicating the pesticide as a cause of any of the reported health effects. Nevertheless, sometimes with enough cases and/ or enough documentation risk mitigation measures may be suggested.

b. Poison Control Centers  as the result of a data purchase by EPA, OPP received Poison Control Center data covering the years 1993 through 1998 for all pesticides. Most of the national Poison Control Centers ( PCCs) participate in a Page 4 of 9 national data collection system, the Toxic Exposure Surveillance System, which obtains data from about 65 70 centers at hospitals and universities. PCCs provide telephone consultation for individuals and health care providers on suspected poisonings, involving drugs, household products, pesticides, etc.

c. California Department of Pesticide Regulation  California has collected uniform data on suspected pesticide poisonings since 1982. Physicians are required, by statute, to report to their local health officer all occurrences of illness suspected of being related to exposure to pesticides. The majority of the incidents involve workers. Information on exposure ( worker activity), type of illness ( systemic, eye, skin, eye/ skin and respiratory), likelihood of a causal relationship, and number of days off work and in the hospital are provided.

d. National Pesticide Telecommunications Network ( NPTN)  NPTN is a toll free information service supported by OPP. A ranking of the top 200 active ingredients for which telephone calls were received during calendar years 1984 1991, inclusive, has been prepared. The total number of calls was tabulated for the categories human incidents, animal incidents, calls for information, and others.

e. Published Incident Reports  Some incident reports associated with pine oil related human health hazards are published in the scientific literature.

1.1 OPP's Incident Data System ( IDS)

A total of 114 individual human incident cases submitted to the EPA Office of Pesticide Programs is associated with exposed to pine oil containing products. Oral, dermal and inhalation are important routes of exposure. Ocular exposure is also reported in some incident cases.

It maybe because the pleasant aroma of the pine oil product, mistakenly ingestion of pine oil products is frequently reported. In IDS, there are 31 pine oil involving incident cases involve oral ingestion. There are seven death incident cases after ingestion pine oil containing products. The most common symptoms reported for cases of oral exposure to pine oil containing products are coughing, choking, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, short of breath, drowsiness, lethargy, and unconsciousness.

The most common symptoms reported for cases of dermal exposure were skin irritation/ burning, rash, itching, skin discoloration/ redness. Allergic type skin reactions including blisters, hives also been reported in some cases.

The most common symptoms reported for cases of inhalation exposure were coughing, choking, sneezing, respiratory irritation/ burning, asthma/ difficult breathing, shortness of breath/ respiratory depression. Headache, shaking, numbness, drowsiness, lethargy and unconsciousness have also been reported when expose to the chemical through inhalation exposure routes. Page 5 of 9 Eye irritation ( burning, redness), corneal abrasion, eye swelling, eye discharge/ Infection and visual defect/ blurred vision are the common symptoms reported associated with ocular exposure to the pine oil containing products.

1.2 Poison Control Center During 1986, 5,102 exposures to pine oil cleaner were reported to the American Association of Poison Control Centers ( PCC) National Data Collection System ( Brook et al., 1989). In 2,792 patients ( 55%), toxicity did not occur. Toxicity was classified as minor in 1,194 patients ( 23%), moderate in 56 ( 1%), and major in six ( 0.1%).

As summarized in Table 1, between 1993  1998, a total of 55,882 incident cases has been reported associated with pine oil containing disinfectants exposure been reported in the PCC Toxic Exposure Surveillance System ( TESS) Around 60% were associated with no effects or only minor effects. Around 2 percent of the cases are judged to be not related to the chemical exposure. There are 47 cases are associated with major clinical effects and death is involved in 12 of the 47 cases. The primary symptoms involved in these major incidences were GI tract effect, neuro toxic signs, cardiovascular effects, and respiratory effects.

1.5 Incident Reports Associated with Toxic Effects of Pine Oil Published in Scientific Literature.

Several papers have been published outlining the problems associated with the toxic effects associated with pine exposure.

Brook et al. ( 1989) summarized incident cases involving patients were hospitalized in the Los Angeles County University of Southern California Medical Center for pine oil cleaner ingestion. There were five pediatric patients. All children were previously health and all ingestion were accidental. Emesis, lethargy, and ataxia were findings developed within 90 minutes after ingestion. Three children developed respiratory signs and diagnosed as chemical pneumonia. In all cases, pneumonia improved or resolved within 24 hours.

Brooks ( 1989) also reported 30 cases of pine oil cleaner ingestion in adults. 77% were suicide attempts, 13% were accidental exposures, and 10% occurred through use of pine oil cleaner as supplement or alternative to ethanol. Among the 30 cases, 17 patients ingested pine oil cleaner alone. Among the 17 patients, three patients had an initial tachycardia and three had tachypnea. Other findings including decreased breath sounds, slurred speech, abdominal pain. Three adults developed acute chemical pneumonia are also reported. All three turns into comatose. Two Page 8 of 9 developed secondary bacteria pneumonia requiring IV antibiotics.

Welker and Zaloga ( 1999) reported a case an elderly woman with dementia who ingested a household cleaning solution containing pine oil. The patient developed CNS depression, and respiratory failure and diagnosed with chemical pneumonia. The patient subsequent developed secondary bacteria pneumonia, in coma, multiple organ failure and died.

Pine oil is a hydrocarbon with low viscosity. It can be easily absorbed into body through GI tract. After systemic absorption, pine oil is excreted in the urine. Evidence also indicated that lung can also excrete pine oil after ingestion, resulting in a pine oil like odor on the breath. Brook et al.( 1989) concluded that pine oil related chemical pneumonia may be caused by two different mechanisms: ( 1) aspiration, either during ingestion or associated with emesis; and ( 2) gastrointestinal absorption of pine oil with subsequent deposition in lung tissue.

2 0 EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS OF PINE OIL IN HUMAN There is no human case associated with chronic health effects of pine oil. A study was conducted in which eight poison control centers did extensive telephone followup of all human and animal followup of all human and animal pine oil ingestion incident cases they encountered. A review of more than 750 cases collected during the year long prospective study showed a wide range of adverse effect are associated with the pine oil exposure. The results indicate that only a small fraction of the cases appear to require medical attention. There were no observed symptoms indicative of delayed toxicity ( Bonfiglio et al., 1987).

3.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION There are many incident reported cases associated with exposure to end use products containing phenol. Dermal, and ocular are the primary routes of exposure. Inhalation and oral ingestion are also reported in some cases.

Dermal exposure is considered as a very important route of exposure. Most of the incidences are related to irritation and/ or allergic type reaction. The most common symptoms reported for cases of dermal exposure were skin irritation/ burning, rash, itching, skin discoloration/ redness and blistering. Allergic type reaction has also been reported.

Eye pain, burning of eyes, conjunctivitis, blurring vision, and acute inflammation has been reported in ocular exposure incidents.

The most common symptoms reported for cases of inhalation exposure were respiratory irritation/ burns, irritation to mouth/ throat/ nose, coughing/ choking, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea and headache. Through oral routes, pine oil ingestion primary cause mucous membrane Page 9 of 9 and gastrointestinal irritation ( gastritis, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, and/ or diarrhea) and CNS depression ( weakness, lethargy, ataxia delirium) and chemical pneumonia. Although pine oil ingestion was rarely life threatening, death is happening in some severe cases.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60387; File No. SR-BATS-2009-025]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
BATS Rule 11.9, Entitled ``Orders and Modifiers''

July 24, 2009.

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on July 20, 2009, BATS Exchange, Inc. (``BATS'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange
has designated this proposal as a ``non-controversial'' proposed rule
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder,\4\ which renders it effective upon filing with
the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange is proposing to amend BATS Rule 11.9, entitled
``Orders and Modifiers,'' to eliminate the ability of Exchange Users to
execute market orders on the Exchange outside of Regular Trading
Hours.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ As set forth in BATS Rule 1.5(w), Regular Trading Hours last
from 9:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, 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 Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend BATS Rule
11.9(a)(2) to eliminate the ability of Exchange Users to execute market
orders on the Exchange during the Exchange's Pre-Opening or After Hours
Trading Session.\6\ Although the Exchange imposes certain limitations
on how far away from the prevailing market a market order can be
executed at any time,\7\ the Exchange does currently permit the
execution of market orders outside of Regular Trading Hours. The
Exchange believes that completely preventing any execution of a BATS
market order outside of Regular Trading Hours will help to avoid the
execution of such an order at a price that is significantly worse than
the price that the User expected to receive based on pricing for a
security at the time such market order was initially submitted to the
Exchange. Thus, the Exchange believes that the proposal will provide
additional protection for those Users that submit market orders to the
Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As set forth in BATS Rule 1.5(r), the Pre-Opening Session
lasts from 8 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. As set forth in BATS
Rule 1.5(c), the After Hours Trading Session lasts from 4 until 5
p.m. Eastern Time.
    \7\ See BATS Rule 11.9(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The rule change proposed in this submission is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\8\ Specifically, the
proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\
because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in general, protect investors and
the public interest, by helping to avoid executions of market orders on
the Exchange at prices that are significantly worse than the price that
a User expects to receive based on pricing for a security at the time
an order is initially received by the Exchange. Also, this proposal is
consistent with existing exchange rules that make clear that market
orders are rejected outside of regular trading hours on such
exchanges.\10\ Accordingly, the modifications to BATS Rule 11.9 promote
just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and
perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market
system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \10\ See, e.g., NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.34(d)(1)(C) and
(d)(3)(B); ISE Rule 2102, Supplementary Material .01.

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change imposes
any burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing rule change does not: (1) Significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (3) become operative for 30
days after the date of this filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.\13\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \14\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. BATS believes that waiver
of the 30-day operative delay will allow the Exchange to more promptly
implement the changes to its system to reject market orders outside of
Regular Trading Hours even if such orders would otherwise execute. BATS
expects to have technological changes in place to support the proposed
rule change on July 24, 2009, and believes that benefits to Exchange
Users expected from the proposed rule change should not be delayed.\15\
In addition, the Commission notes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the rules of other exchanges that prohibit the
execution of market orders outside of regular trading hours.\16\ Based
on the foregoing, the Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest and hereby designates the proposal operative upon
filing.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by
the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
    \14\ Id.
    \15\ See SR-BATS-2009-025, Item 7.
    \16\ See supra note 10.
    \17\ For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative
delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors or otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Electronic Comments

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


			  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

		        DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

			  OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

			          WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation on March 2, 2005

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST 2005-20520

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Applicant:  VOLGA-DNEPR J.S. CARGO AIRLINE
            Date Filed:  March 2, 2005

Relief requested:  Exemption from 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) to permit
the applicant to operate, on behalf of the Department of Defense, two,
one-way cargo charter flights, carrying helicopters from Ft. Drum
Wheeler-Sack Army Air Field, New York, to Alexandria International
Airport, Louisiana, during the period March 3-6, 2005, using its
AN-124-100 aircraft.  The applicant stated that the Department of
Defense currently does not have lift available to carry these
helicopters, urgently needs prompt shipment of the cargo to Louisiana to
meet the set schedule for training and operation missions, that the
cargo is too large for transportation on U.S.-carrier aircraft; and that
surface transportation is not feasible because of the nature of the
cargo and the urgent need for prompt delivery.

Applicant representative:  Glenn P. Wicks,<PHONE_NUMBER>         DOT
analyst:  Allen F. Brown,<PHONE_NUMBER>

Responsive pleadings:  Volga-Dnepr served its application on those U.S.
carriers operating large all-cargo aircraft.  Each carrier indicated
that it did not have aircraft available to conduct the proposed
operation and that it had no comment or did not oppose grant of the
requested authority.

Statutory Standards:  Under 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g), we may authorize
a foreign air carrier to carry commercial traffic between U.S. points
(i.e., cabotage traffic) under limited circumstances.  Specifically, we
must find that the authority is required in the public interest; that
because of an emergency created by unusual circumstances not arising in
the normal course of business the traffic cannot be accommodated by U.S.
carriers holding certificates under 49 U.S.C. section 41102; that all
possible efforts have been made to place the traffic on U.S. carriers;
and that the transportation is necessary to avoid unreasonable hardship
to the traffic involved (an additional required finding, concerning
emergency transportation during labor disputes, was not relevant here).

        DISPOSITION

Action: Approved
                                             Action date:  March 2, 2005

Effective dates of authority granted:  March 2, 2005, through March 6,
2005.

Basis for approval:  We are granting Volga-Dnepr’s request to operate
its proposed two, one-way flights from Ft. Drum Wheeler-Sack Army Air
Field, New York, to Alexandria International Airport, Louisiana, through
March 6, 2005.  We found that its request met all the relevant criteria
of 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) for the grant of an exemption of this type
and that the grant was required in the public interest.  Specifically,
we were persuaded that the need to move the helicopters promptly in
order to meet the training and operation missions schedule, the fact
that the cargo could not be transported by surface transportation
because of its nature and the Department of Defense need for prompt
delivery, the potential negative impact of delivery delay; and the
unique, outsized nature of the cargo, constituted an emergency not
arising in the normal course of business.  Moreover, based on the
representations of the U.S. carriers, we concluded that no U.S. carrier
had aircraft available that could be used to conduct the operations at
issue here.  We also found that grant of this authority would prevent
unreasonable hardship to the Department of Defense.  Finally, we found
that the applicant was qualified to perform its proposed operation.

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to our
standard exemption conditions and to the condition that the applicant
must comply with FAA-approved flight routings for the authorized
operation.
