39-19707; AD 2019-16-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Engine Alliance Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-03-04
for all Engine Alliance (EA) GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines
with a certain engine 1st-stage low-pressure compressor (LPC) rotor
assembly, referred to after this as the ``engine fan hub assembly,''
installed. AD 2019-03-04 required a visual inspection of the engine fan
hub assembly for damage, a one-time eddy current inspection (ECI) of
the fan hub blade slot bottom and blade slot front edge for cracks, and
removal of parts if damage or defects are found. For certain GP7270 and
GP7277 model turbofan

engines, this AD continues to require a one-time ECI of the engine fan
hub blade slot bottom and blade slot front edge for cracks and a visual
inspection of the engine fan hub assembly for damage. For all GP7270
and GP7277 model turbofan engines, this AD also requires an independent
inspection of the engine fan hub assembly prior to reassembly of the
engine fan hub blade lock assembly. For certain serial-numbered GP7270
and GP7277 model turbofan engines, this AD requires replacement of the
engine fan hub blade lock assembly. This AD was prompted by an
uncontained failure of the engine fan hub. The FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 30, 2019.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of August 30,
2019.
    The FAA must receive any comments on this AD by September 30, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued AD 2019-03-04, Amendment 39-19556 (84 FR 4694,
February 19, 2019), (``AD 2019-03-04''), for all EA GP7270 and GP7277
model turbofan engines with a certain engine fan hub assembly
installed. AD 2019-03-04 required a one-time ECI of the engine fan hub
blade slot bottom and blade slot front edge for cracks, a visual
inspection of the engine fan hub assembly for damage, and removal of
parts if damage or defects are found that are outside serviceable
limits. AD 2019-03-04 resulted from the FAA's determination that
inspections need to be expanded to all EA GP7270 and GP7277 model
turbofan engines with the affected engine fan hub assembly installed.
The FAA issued AD 2019-03-04 to detect defects, damage, and cracks that
could result in an uncontained failure of the engine fan hub assembly.

Actions Since AD 2019-03-04 was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2019-03-04, the manufacturer determined the
need to require an independent inspection of the fan hub assembly for
damage prior to the reassembly of the engine fan hub blade lock
assembly for all EA GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines. The
manufacturer also developed a new design of the engine fan hub blade
lock assembly that decreases the potential for damage to the engine fan
hub assembly when it is disassembled. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EA ASB EAGP7-A72-389, Revision No. 4, dated June
14, 2019. The ASB describes procedures for ECI and visual inspection of
the GP7270 and GP7277 engine fan hub assembly. This service information
is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to
it through their normal course of business or by the means identified
in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed EA ASB EAGP7-A72-418, Revision No. 1, dated
January 11, 2019. The ASB provides guidance on replacement or
modification of the engine fan hub blade lock assembly.
    The FAA also reviewed the following service information:
    Subtask 72-31-42-210-001-A, of Task 72-31-42-000-802-A, from the
A380 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM). This subtask describes an on-
wing visual inspection that is to be performed after removal of the
engine fan hub blade lock assembly.
    Figure 405 of Task 72-00-31-420-004 of the EA GP7000 Series Engine
Manual (EM). This figure and task describe a visual inspection that is
to be performed after removal of the engine fan hub blade lock assembly
when the engine is in the shop.
    Subtask 72-00-00-210-012-A, of Task 72-00-00-210-806-A, from the
A380 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM). This subtask describes an on-
wing visual inspection that is to be performed after reassembly of the
engine fan hub blade lock assembly.
    Task 72-00-31-420-004, Paragraph 1.E.(13), of the GP7000 Series EM
describes a visual inspection that is to be performed after reassembly
of the engine fan hub blade lock assembly when the engine is in the
shop.
    Table 601 in Subtask 72-00-00-210-012-A, Task 72-00-00-210-806,
from the A380 AMM or Task 72-00-31-220-010 of the EA GP7000 Series EM.
Table 601 and Task 72-00-31-220-010 provide guidance on acceptable
damage service limits.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this AD because all the relevant information was
evaluated and the FAA determined the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same
type design.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires, for certain GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan
engines, a one-time ECI of the engine fan hub blade slot bottom and
blade slot front edge for cracks and a visual inspection of the engine
fan hub assembly for damage. For all GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan
engines, this AD also requires an independent inspection of the engine
fan hub assembly prior to the reassembly of the engine fan hub blade
lock assembly. For certain serial-

numbered GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines, this AD requires
replacement of the engine fan hub blade lock assembly with a part
eligible for installation.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    No domestic operators use this product. Therefore, the FAA finds
good cause that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
unnecessary. In addition, for the reason stated above, the FAA finds
that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than
30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and the FAA did not provide you with notice and an opportunity
to provide your comments before it becomes effective. However, the FAA
invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this
final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES
section. Include the docket number FAA-2019-0465 and product identifier
2018-NE-19-AD at the beginning of your comments. The FAA specifically
invites comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental,
and energy aspects of this final rule. The FAA will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this final rule
because of those comments.
    The FAA will post all comments received, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide.
The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this final rule.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment,
RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects zero engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
                Action                         Labor cost           Parts cost        product        operators

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

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
inspection. The FAA has no way of determining the number of engines
that might need these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

    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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the

 BILLING CODE 4910-13-P


days of becoming subject to the statutory disqualification. Existing
Rule 302(g) states that, subject to the summary suspension rules in
Chapter 15, any applicant for membership or association with a Member
whose application is denied or conditioned or who is not permitted to
continue as a Member or Associated Person may appeal such
determinations under Chapter 17 of the Existing Rules.
    The Exchange proposes to modify Existing Rule 302(f) so that it
refers to new and more robust procedures, set forth in the BX Rule 9520
series, by which a Member or an Associated Person may obtain relief
from disqualification or ineligibility determinations (BX Rule 9522).
    The Exchange also proposes to amend Existing Rule 302(g), which
states that subject to Chapter 15, the BCC may review in part Exchange
determinations to deny membership or association with a Member pursuant
to Chapter 17 of the Existing Rules. The Exchange proposes to re-assign
responsibility for these reviews from the BCC to the Exchange Review
Council and replace the review process presently set forth in Chapter
17 of the Existing Rules with processes that are substantially the same
as those set forth in BX Rules 1015 and 1016. Specifically, the
proposed amendments to Exchange Rule 302(g) state that, subject to
Chapter 90, the Exchange Review Council will have jurisdiction to
review these decisions. Proposed Rule 302(g) states that anyone whose
application for membership on the Exchange, association with an
Exchange Member, or whose continuing membership or association is
denied or conditioned by the Exchange's Membership Department, may file
a written request for review by the Exchange Review Council within 25
days after service of the Exchange's decision.\116\ The request must
state specifically why the applicant believes that the Membership
Department's decision is inconsistent with the permissible bases for
denial set forth in Rule 302, or otherwise should be set aside and
state whether a hearing is requested.\117\ The request will be heard by
a Subcommittee appointed by the Exchange Review Council or the Review
Subcommittee composed of two or more persons who are either current or
past members of the Council or former Directors of the Exchange.\118\
If a hearing is requested or directed, it must be held within 45 days
after the request for review is filed with the Exchange or service of
the notice by the Subcommittee.\119\ Applicants and the Membership
Department may be represented by counsel at the hearing and formal
rules of evidence will not apply during the hearing.\120\ The
Subcommittee must present a recommended decision in writing to the
Exchange Review Council within 60 days after the date of the hearing,
and not later than seven days before the meeting of the Exchange Review
Council at which the proceeding shall be considered.\121\ The Exchange
Review Council must issue a proposed written decision that affirms,
modifies, or reverses the Membership Department's decision, or remands
the proceedings with instructions and provide the proposed decision to
the Exchange Board.\122\ If the Exchange Board does not call the
decision for review, it shall become final. If the Exchange Review
Council does not serve its final written decision within the time
period prescribed by Rule 302(g)(10)(C), then the Applicant may file a
written request with the Exchange Board for the Board to direct the
Exchange Review Council to issue its decision immediately or show good
cause why it needs additional time to issue its decision.\123\ Proposed
Rule 302(h), which mirrors BX Rule 1016, grants the Exchange Board
discretion, at the request of a Director, to review decisions of the
Exchange Review Council.\124\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \116\ See proposed Rule 302(g)(1). The Exchange notes that the
deadline for filing petitions for BCC review of an Exchange action
under Existing Rule 1701(a) is 30 days from the date of such action.
The Existing Rules pertaining to membership do not reference or
define the terms ``Membership Department'' or ``Department.'' As
part of this proposal, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 302(g) to
specify that the Exchange's Membership Department--rather than
simply the ``Exchange''--makes determinations as to whether to
grant, deny, or conditionally grant applications for membership or
association or to continue as a Member or an Associated Person.
    \117\ See id.
    \118\ See proposed Rule 302(g)(4). The Exchange notes that
Existing Rule 1702 provides for review by a BCC panel composed of
two or more of its members.
    \119\ See proposed Rule 302(g)(6)(A).
    \120\ See proposed Rule 302(g)(6)(B) & (C). Unlike Existing Rule
1703, proposed Rule 302(g) does not provide for intervention in
proceedings by interested non-Parties.
    \121\ See proposed Rule 302(g)(9).
    \122\ See proposed Rule 302(g)(10)(A).
    \123\ See proposed Rule 302(g)(10)(D).
    \124\ Unlike Existing Rule 1704, proposed Rule 302(h) does not
authorize the applicant or the President of the Exchange to request
that the Board review the decision of the Exchange Review Council.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Existing Rule 305(b) requires Members to file with the Exchange and
keep current their addresses at which notices may be served. The
Exchange proposes to amend this Existing Rule to incorporate the
language set forth in BX Rule 1160. Rather than merely requiring
Members to provide the Exchange with

their current address, the proposed amendment more broadly requires
Members to report to the Exchange, through the FINRA Contact System,
all of their contact information, including their mailing addresses,
email addresses, facsimile numbers, and other information. It also
requires members to update such contact information in the FINRA System
within 30 days of any changes thereto, and to generally verify that
such information remains accurate within 17 business days after the end
of each calendar year. This proposed amendment to the Existing Rule
will ensure that the Exchange has available to it multiple means of
contacting its Members, including for purposes of serving the notices
specified in the BX Rule 9550 series by email or by facsimile. The
Exchange proposes, in its introduction to Chapter 90, to state that
cross references in the BX Rule 9000 Series to BX Rule 1160 should be
read instead to refer to Exchange Rule 305(b), as modified herein.
    To maintain consistency with the BX Rules, the Exchange also
proposes to eliminate Existing Rule 305(d), which requires Members to
maintain a current copy of the Exchange's governing documents and Rules
in an accessible place and make them available for examination by
customers, and to replace it with BX Rule 8110, which is materially
equivalent.
    Existing Rule 307 and its Supplementary Material govern the sale
and transfer of market maker rights. Item .01 of the Supplementary
Material presently provides that decisions by the Exchange (and
specifically, by the Membership Department) to deny approval of such
sales and transfers are appealable under Chapter 17 of the Existing
Rules. The Exchange proposes to state instead that these decisions are
appealable to the Exchange Review Council. The Exchange notes that no
analogue exists to this proposal in the BX Rules, which do not provide
for the sale and transfer of such rights or reviews of decisions to
deny or condition such sales or transfers. Nevertheless, the Exchange
believes that the Exchange Review Council is the logical and
appropriate body for reviewing such determinations given its other
responsibilities. The Exchange also proposes to replace the review
procedures set forth in Chapter 17 of the Existing Rules with processes
that are substantially the same as those set forth in BX Rules 1015 and
1016. To accomplish the foregoing, the Exchange proposes to eliminate
Supplementary Material .01 and insert its substance into the body of
Rule 307 as paragraphs (c) and (d). Proposed Rule 307(d) states that
the Exchange Review Council will have jurisdiction to review Membership
Department decisions to deny the sale and transfer of market maker
rights. Proposed Rule 307(d)(1) states that anyone [sic] is an owner or
an approved applicant that is a party to an executed transfer agreement
that is denied approval may file a written request for review by the
Exchange Review Council within 25 days after service of the Exchange's
decision. The request must state specifically why the applicant
believes that the Membership Department's decision is inconsistent with
the permissible bases for denial set forth in Rule 307(c), or otherwise
should be set aside and state whether a hearing is requested.\125\ The
request will be heard by a Subcommittee composed of two or more persons
who are either current or past members of the Council or former
Directors of the Exchange.\126\ If a hearing is requested or directed,
the hearing must be held within 45 days after the request for review is
filed with the Exchange or service of the notice directing a hearing by
the Subcommittee.\127\ Applicants and the Membership Department may be
represented by counsel at the hearing and formal rules of evidence will
not apply during the hearing.\128\ The Subcommittee must present a
recommended decision in writing to the Exchange Review Council within
60 days after the date of the hearing, and not later than seven days
before the meeting of the Exchange Review Council at which the
proceeding shall be considered.\129\ The Exchange Review Council must
issue a proposed written decision that affirms, modifies, or reverses
the Membership Department's decision, or remands the proceedings with
instructions and provide it to the Exchange Board.\130\ If the Exchange
Board does not call the decision for review, it shall become final. If
the Exchange Review Council does not serve its final written decision
within the time period prescribed by Rule 307(d)(9)(C), then the
applicant may file a written request with the Exchange Board for the
Board to direct the Exchange Review Council to issue its decision
immediately or show good cause why it needs additional time to issue
its decision.\131\ Proposed Rule 307(d)(10), which mirrors BX Rule
1016, grants the Exchange Board discretion, at the request of a
Director, to review decisions of the Exchange Review Council.

    Existing Rule 310 requires a Member to notify the Exchange upon its
adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution. The Existing Rule
also provides that upon receipt of such notice, the Member's trading
privileges may be suspended in accordance with Chapter 15 of the
Existing Rules. The Exchange proposes to replace this reference to
Chapter 15 with a reference to BX Rule 9558. Again, no analogue to this
proposal exists in the BX rules insofar as those rules do not expressly
address suspensions for such reasons or reviews of suspension
determinations. Nevertheless, the Exchange believes that the process
set forth in BX Rule 9558 is most appropriate for reviewing suspension
determinations in these circumstances given that they already apply in
circumstances where a Member is experiencing extreme financial or
operating difficulty such that the Exchange determines that the Member
cannot safely continue to do business on the Exchange.
    The Supplementary Material to Existing Rule 313 concerns the
Exchange's authority to waive the applicable qualification examination
requirements and accept other standards as evidence of an applicant's
qualifications for registration. The Exchange is amending this Rule to
specify that such requests are handled pursuant to the BX Rule 9600
Series process. The BX Rule 9600 Series concerns the procedures for
requesting exemptions, and the appeal of adverse decisions regarding an
exemptive request. The Exchange notes that the proposed revisions will
render the text of the Supplementary Material to Existing Rule 313
consistent with BX Rule 1070(d).
    Existing Rule 410 provides for the summary suspension of a Member
that fails to perform on its contracts or is insolvent or is in such
financial or operational condition or is otherwise conducting business
in such a manner that it cannot be permitted to continue in business
without compromising the safety of customers, creditors, or the
Exchange. The Existing Rule provides for such suspensions to be
administered in accordance with Chapter 15 of the Rules. The Exchange
proposes to replace this reference to Chapter 15 with a reference to BX
Rule 9558, which provides procedures for summary proceedings for
actions authorized by Section 6(d)(3) under [sic] the Act.
    Existing Rule 413(b)(1) states that decisions denying market makers
exemptions from standard position

limits in options trading on the Exchange are not subject to appeal
under Chapter 17 of the Existing Rules. The Exchange proposes to remove
this reference to Chapter 17 as the Exchange proposes to delete it.
    Existing Rule 720 concerns obvious and catastrophic errors.
Existing Rule 720(k) currently references the OEP as the body
responsible for reviewing determinations made by Options Exchange
Officials pursuant to the Rule and it sets forth procedures to govern
OEP review proceedings. In light of the fact that the OEP's
responsibilities will be incorporated into those of the Exchange Review
Council,\132\ the amendments to the Rule remove references to the OEP
and replaces [sic] them with references to a panel of the Exchange
Review Council. The amended Rule also includes language grafted from
the BX Rules prescribing the composition of panels convened for
purposes of these reviews.\133\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \132\ See proposed Rule 100(a)(20A).
    \133\ See BX Options Rules Ch. V, Sec. 6(l).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Existing Rule 720A also provides for reviews by a ``Review Panel''
of decisions nullifying or adjusting transactions arising out of system
disruptions or malfunctions. The Exchange proposes to eliminate the
Review Panel in the Exchange's Rules and transfer its responsibility to
a panel of the Exchange Review Council. The new Rule also includes
language grafted from the BX Rules prescribing the composition of
Exchange Review Council panels convened for purposes of these
reviews.\134\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \134\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Existing Rule 804 permits a Primary Market Maker to apply to the
Exchange to withdraw temporarily from its Primary Market Maker status
in an options class. The Existing Rule does not presently authorize
reviews of Exchange determinations to deny requests for temporary
withdrawals or to impose conditions on the reentry of quotations.
However, BX Rule 4619(f) does provide for such reviews. To provide
consistency, the Exchange proposes to amend Existing Rule 804(f) to
state that the Exchange Review Council will have authority conduct such
reviews.
    Existing Rule 1000 provides for the treatment of the options
contracts of suspended Members. In discussing the nature of suspensions
to which the Existing Rule applies, it references Chapter 15 several
times. The Exchange proposes replacing this reference with a reference
to the Chapter 90, which comprises the BX Rules that govern suspensions
in lieu of Chapter 15.
    Existing Rule 1406 states that no Member or Associated Person may
refuse to appear or testify before another exchange or SRO in
connection with a regulatory investigation, examination or disciplinary
proceeding or refuse to furnish documentary materials or other
information or otherwise impede or delay such investigation,
examination or disciplinary proceeding if the Exchange requests such
information or testimony in connection with an inquiry resulting from
an agreement entered into by the Exchange. Existing Rule 1406(d) states
that when Members and Associated Persons respond to such requests for
appearance, testimony, documents, or information, they shall have the
same rights and procedural protections as they would if they were
responding to requests from the Exchange pursuant to Existing Rule
1601(b). The Exchange proposes to replace the reference to Existing
Rule 1601(b), which is being deleted, with a reference to BX Rule 8210.
BX Rule 8210(a) authorizes the Regulation Department, including FINRA
staff, to require a Member or Associated Persons to provide information
and testimony and to permit inspection and copying of their [sic]
books, records, and accounts as to any matters involved in an
investigation, complaint, examination, or proceeding. BX Rule 8210(b)
provides that the Regulation Department and FINRA may exercise the
aforementioned authority with respect to investigations, complaints,
examinations, or proceedings conducted by other SROs. Lastly, BX Rule
8210(c) states that no Member or Associated Person may fail to provide
information or testimony or to submit to inspection and copying of
books, records, or accounts.
    Existing Rule 1800 states that any Member or Associated Person that
fails to honor an arbitration award shall be subject to disciplinary
proceedings in accordance with Chapter 16. The Exchange proposes to
replace this reference to Chapter 16 with a reference to BX Rule 9554,
which is the BX Rule that governs such sanctions.

Proposed Introductory Paragraphs to Chapters 80 and 90

    The Exchange proposes to include introductory paragraphs to both
Chapters 80 and 90 which state that they incorporate by reference the
BX Rule 8000 and 9000 Series, respectively, and that such BX Rules
shall be applicable to Exchange Members, Associated Persons, and other
persons subject to the Exchange's jurisdiction.
    These proposed introductory paragraphs also list instances in which
cross references in the BX Rule 8000 and 9000 Series to other BX rules
should be read to refer instead to the Exchange Rules, and references
to defined BX terms shall be read to refer to the Exchange-related
meanings of those terms. For example, references in both the BX Rule
8000 and 9000 Series to the following defined terms shall be read to
refer to the Exchange-specific meanings of those terms: ``Exchange'' or
``Nasdaq BX'' shall be read to refer to the Exchange; ``Rule'' or ``BX
Rule'' shall be read to refer to the Exchange Rules; ``Board'' or
``Exchange Board'' shall be read to refer to the Exchange Board of
Directors; ``Member'' shall be read to refer to an Exchange Member;
``Associated Person'' shall be read to refer to an Exchange Associated
Person; ``BX Regulatory Department'' or ``Regulation Department'' shall
be read to refer to the Exchange's Regulatory Department; ``BX
Regulation'' shall be read to refer to Exchange Regulation; ``Chief
Regulatory Officer'' shall be read to refer to the Chief Regulatory
Officer of the Exchange; and ``Equity Rule'' shall be read to refer to
an Exchange Rule.
    Additionally, the proposed introduction to Chapter 80 states that
cross references in the BX Rule 8000 Series to the term ``Rule 0120''
shall be read to refer to Exchange Rule 100 and cross references in the
BX Rule 8000 Series to ``Rule 1015'' shall be read to refer to Exchange
Rule 302. Similarly, the proposed introduction to Chapter 90 states
that cross-references in the BX Rule 9000 Series to the following terms
shall be read to refer to the following Exchange Rules: ``Rule 0120''
shall be read to refer to Exchange Rule 100; ``Rule 1013'' shall be
read to refer to Exchange Rules 305 and 306; ``Rule 1070'' shall be
read to refer to the Supplementary Material to Exchange Rule 313;
``Rule 1160'' shall be read to refer to Exchange Rule 305(b); ``Equity
Rule 2110'' shall be read to refer to Exchange Rule 400; ``Equity Rule
2120'' shall be read to refer to Exchange Rule 405; ``Rule 2140'' shall
be read to refer to Exchange Rule 312; ``Equity Rule 2150'' shall be
read to refer to Exchange Rules Chapter 6; ``Rule 2170'' shall be read
to refer to Exchange Rule 403; ``Rule 4110A'' shall be read to refer to
Exchange Rules Chapter 13; ``Rule 4120A'' shall be read to refer to
Exchange Rules Chapter 13; ``Rule 10000 Series'' shall be read to refer
to Exchange Rules Chapter 18; and ``Chapter III, Section 16'' shall be
read to refer to Exchange Rule 403.
    Finally, as noted above, the introduction to Chapter 90 states that
BX IM-9216 in the BX Rules shall not apply to the Exchange, its
Members,

Associated Persons, or other persons subject to the jurisdiction of the
Exchange and that instead, references to BX IM-9216 shall be read to
refer to Exchange Rule 1614(b). Similarly, the introduction states that
the Exchange's procedures set forth in BX Rule 9216(b) and 9143(e)(3),
which govern its handling of MRVP violations and the issuance of MRVP
violation letters, shall also apply to the Exchange's handling of minor
rule violations and the issuance of minor rule violation letters,
except that the Exchange shall promptly report any final disciplinary
action to the Commission, in accordance with SEC Rule 19d-1(c)(1).

Conclusion

    The changes proposed herein will allow the Exchange to harmonize
its investigatory and disciplinary processes with the processes of BX,
thus providing a uniform process for the investigation and discipline
of Members and Associated Persons across all of the Nasdaq, Inc. SROs,
as administered by FINRA pursuant to RSAs. Harmonizing the
investigatory and disciplinary processes of all of the Nasdaq, Inc.
SROs will bring efficiency to FINRA's administration of its
responsibilities under the RSAs because the process [sic] it must
follow are nearly identical, and are all based on the process that
FINRA follows. Harmonized processes will bring consistency to
investigations and adjudication of rule violations, and will reduce the
number of disciplinary processes and requirements with which Members
and Associated Persons, as well as their counsel, must be familiar.
    The Exchange believes that the new investigatory and disciplinary
processes are substantially similar to the existing process, and where
there are differences between the new and old processes, the Exchange
believes that the new process does not disadvantage its Members or
Associated Persons. To the contrary, the Exchange believes that the new
process will benefit all parties as it provides greater detail and
specificity than the retired Rules, and that it is consequently more
transparent.
    The Exchange intends to announce the operative date of the new
Rules at least 30 days in advance via a regulatory alert.\135\ To
facilitate an orderly transition from the Existing Rules to the new
Rules, the Exchange is proposing to apply the Existing Rules to all
Letters of Consent that the CRO has approved and which are pending
approval of the BCC prior to the operative date. The Exchange also will
apply the Existing Rules to any matter for which, prior to the
operative date, the Exchange has provided notice to a Subject of its
determination to impose an MRVP fine or a minor rule violation fine
whereby the Subject may yet or has contested the determination pursuant
to Existing Rule 1614(a). In terms of formal disciplinary matters, any
matter that has been approved for the issuance of a statement of
charges by the CRO will continue under the Existing Rules. Moreover,
any appeal of a matter that is pending before an OEP pursuant to
Existing Rule 720, a Review Panel pursuant to Existing Rule 720A, or
the BCC pursuant to Existing Rule 302 or Supplementary Material .01 to
Existing Rule 307, will continue under the Existing Rules. As a
consequence of this transition process, the Exchange will retain the
BCC, the OEP, the Review Panel, and the existing processes during the
transition period until such time that there are no longer any matters
proceeding under the Existing Rules. To facilitate this transition
process, the Exchange will retain a transitional Rulebook that will
contain the Exchange's Rules as they are at the time of that this
proposal is filed with the Commission. This transitional Rulebook will
apply only to matters initiated prior to the operational date of the
changes proposed herein and it will be posted to the Exchange's public
rules website. When the transition is complete and there are no longer
any Members, Associated Persons or other persons subject to the
existing disciplinary processes, the Exchange will remove the
transitional Rulebook from its public rules website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \135\ The Exchange notes that the proposed changes will not
become operative unless and until the Commission approves the
Exchange's request, which it has filed pursuant to Section 36 of the
Exchange Act and SEC Rule 0-12 thereunder, for an exemption from the
rule filing requirements of Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act as to
changes to Chapters 80 and 90 that are effected solely by virtue of
a change to the BX Rule 8000 or 9000 Series.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange furthermore notes that it expects the transition from
the BCC to the Exchange Review Council to be smooth given that it
expects to nominate the existing (and common) members of the BX,
Nasdaq, and Phlx exchange review councils to also become members of the
Exchange Review Council.\136\ The Exchange does not expect that any
existing members of the BCC will be nominated to become members of the
Exchange Review Council; however, the Exchange will ensure that, in
advance of the operative day, the members of the Exchange Review
Council will familiarize themselves with the Rules and procedures of
the Exchange so that they will be prepared to fulfill their
responsibilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \136\ The Exchange anticipates that the members of the Exchange
Review Council will serve in a manner that is consistent with their
tenures on the Nasdaq, BX, and Phlx review councils. That is, to the
extent that the tenure of a member of these other review councils is
due to expire on a particular date, then the same expiration date
will apply to that member's tenure on the Exchange Review Council.
All terms for members on the Exchange Review Council will comply
with Article VI, Section 4 of the proposed By-Laws.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\137\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\138\ in particular, in that it is designed
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system, and, in general to protect investors and the
public interest, and are not designed to permit unfair discrimination
between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \137\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \138\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also believes that the proposal is consistent with
Section 6(b)(6) of the Act,\139\ which requires that the rules of an
exchange provide that its members be appropriately disciplined for
violations of the Act as well as the rules and regulations thereunder,
or the rules of the Exchange, by expulsion, suspension, limitation of
activities, functions, and operations, fine, censure, being suspended
or barred from being associated with a member, or any other fitting
sanction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \139\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed changes are consistent with
these requirements because the changes harmonize the Exchange's
investigative, disciplinary, and adjudicatory processes with the
similar processes used by BX. The new processes are well-established as
fair and designed to protect investors and the public interest,
providing greater detail and transparency in the processes than is
currently provided under the Existing Rules. Because the Exchange is
adopting these Rules materially unchanged from the related BX Rules,
with minor differences to account for the Exchange's unique MRVP and
minor rule violation schedule of fines, the Exchange believes that the
proposed changes should facilitate prompt, appropriate, and effective
discipline of Members and Associated Persons consistent with the Act.
    The proposed Rule change also makes miscellaneous changes to the
Existing Rules to account for the adoption of the BX Rule 8000 and 9000
Series and the

replacement of the BCC with the Exchange Review Council. For example,
subject to Chapter 90, proposed changes to Rule 302 re-assign
responsibility to the Exchange Review Council to review decisions of
the Exchange's Membership Department to deny or condition applications
for membership and association with Exchange Members and to deny or
condition continuing membership or association. The proposal also
establishes a new process by which the Exchange Review Council will
adjudicate such reviews. Likewise, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule
307 to re-assign responsibility to the Exchange Review Council to
review decisions of the Exchange to deny sales or transfers of market
maker rights. It also proposes to establish a new process by which the
Exchange Review Council will adjudicate such reviews. The Exchange
believes that these proposed changes to the Existing Rules are
consistent with the Act because the new adjudicatory processes that the
Exchange proposes to adopt in place of its existing processes are
substantially similar to those that BX already utilizes. Moreover, the
Exchange believes that the proposed processes will facilitate prompt,
appropriate, and fair adjudications, consistent with the Act.
    Additionally, the Exchange proposes to make minor updates,
corrections, and conforming amendments to the Exchange's Rules, which
are consistent with the Act because they are necessary to ensure that
the Exchange's cross-references and terminology remain current and
accurate.
    The Exchange believes that harmonizing its investigative,
disciplinary, and adjudicatory processes with those of BX will reduce
the burden on Members and Associated Persons that are also members of
BX, Nasdaq, Phlx, and/or FINRA. The Exchange notes that all but one of
its Members are also members of BX, Nasdaq, Phlx, and/or FINRA. BX,
Nasdaq, Phlx, and FINRA already have in place investigative,
disciplinary, and adjudicatory processes that are the same or similar
to those that the Exchange proposes to incorporate by reference.
    As discussed above, the Exchange believes that the proposed Rules
will benefit all parties involved in the Exchange's disciplinary and
adjudicatory processes as they will include greater detail and
specificity than do the Existing Rules. The proposal will render the
Exchange's investigatory, disciplinary, and adjudicatory processes more
transparent than the Existing Rules.
    The Exchange also believes that adopting an Exchange Review Council
is consistent with the Act because the Council's mandate is to, among
other things, ensure consistent and fair application of the Exchange
rules pertaining to discipline of Members and Associated Persons. The
Exchange Review Council will be a body appointed by the Exchange Board
of Directors and composed of representatives of the securities industry
as well as persons from outside the securities industry. The broad
membership of the new Exchange Review Council will ensure that the
decisions and guidance it provides will be fair and balanced. The
Exchange Review Council will be similar in structure and function to
the BX exchange review council. In addition to reviewing appeals of
disciplinary actions, the Exchange Review Council will also have
jurisdiction to review membership decisions (proposed Rule 302) and
appeals regarding limitations placed on Members or their employees that
are subject to a statutory disqualification (BX Rule 9524).
Additionally, the Exchange Review Council may consider and make
recommendations to the Board on policy and rule changes relating to
business and sales practices of Exchange Members and Associated
Persons, and enforcement policies, including policies with respect to
fines and other sanctions. Thus, the Exchange Review Council will
provide the Exchange and market participants with a fair and impartial
body overseeing disciplinary matters, as well as the rules and policies
concerning the disciplinary process. For these reasons, the Exchange
believes that adoption of the Exchange Review Council is consistent
with the Act.
    The Exchange believes that eliminating the BCC, the OEP (as
provided for under Existing Rule 720), and the Review Panel (as
provided for under Existing Rule 720A) is consistent with Sections
6(b)(5) and 6(b)(6) of the Act,\140\ because the Exchange Review
Council and the New Hearing Panels will assume the responsibilities of
the BCC and the Panels. In particular, the functions of the Current
Hearing Panels of the BCC will be handled by the New Hearing Panels,
which the OHO shall convene. Going forward, the BCC's (and the CRO's)
responsibility for approving settlements will be assumed by the
Exchange Review Council and, in certain instances, the ODA. The BCC's
responsibilities for hearing appeals of Exchange decisions on
membership or association with a Member will be assumed by the Exchange
Review Council. The responsibilities of the OEP and the Review Panel to
hear appeals of Exchange determinations to nullify or adjust
transactions that involve obvious errors or that result from system
disruptions and malfunctions also will be assumed by the Exchange
Review Council. The Exchange believes that the proposal will provide
for the Exchange Review Council, the New Hearing Panels, and the ODA to
execute the responsibilities of the BCC and the Panels in a manner that
the Commission, within the context of the BX Rules, has already deemed
to be consistent with the Act.\141\ For example, the Exchange proposes
to replace its existing process for handling appeals of membership
decisions, as set forth in Existing Rule 302 and Chapter 17, with a
process that BX already employs in BX Rules 1015 and 1016. Moreover,
most Exchange Members and Associated Persons will already be familiar
with the proposed responsibilities and procedures of the Exchange
Review Council, the New Hearing Panels, and the ODA from their
experiences as members of BX and other self-regulatory organizations
whose rules provide for similar assignments of responsibilities and
processes.

2008), 73 FR 80468 (Dec. 31, 2008) (SR-BSE-2008-048).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that its proposal furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(7) of the Act \142\ in that it is designed to provide a
fair procedure for the disciplining of members and Associated Persons,
the denial of membership to any person seeking membership therein, the
barring of any person from becoming associated with a Member thereof,
and the prohibition or limitation by the Exchange of any person with
respect to access to services offered by the Exchange or a Member
thereof. Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed
investigatory, disciplinary, and adjudicatory processes are consistent
with Section 6(b)(7) of the Act \143\ because they are based on the
existing processes used by BX. The BX processes are well-established as
consistent with the Act.\144\

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

    Last, the Exchange believes that its proposal to phase-in the
implementation of the new investigatory, disciplinary, and adjudicatory
processes is consistent with Section 6(b)(7) \145\ of the Act because
both the current and proposed processes are consistent with the Act,
providing fair procedures for investigating, disciplining, and

adjudicating the rights of Members and Associated Persons. The Exchange
is proposing to provide advanced notice of the implementation date of
the new processes, and will apply the new processes to new matters that
are initiated on or after that implementation date. Any matters
initiated prior to the implementation date will be completed using the
current processes. As a consequence, the Exchange will delete the
applicable portions of Chapters 15-17 from the Exchange's Rulebook, but
it will maintain a transitional Rulebook on the Exchange's public rules
website (http://nasdaqISE.cchwallstreet.com/), which will contain the
Exchange Rules as they are at the time of filing this rule change.\146\
These transitional Rules will apply exclusively to the matters
initiated prior to the implementation date. Upon conclusion of the last
matter to which the transitional rules apply, the Exchange will remove
the defunct transitional rules from its public rules website. Thus, the
transition will be conducted in a fair, orderly, and transparent
manner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \145\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(7).
    \146\ The posting of the transitional rules on the public rules
website will make it clear what disciplinary proceedings are
governed by the transitional rules (i.e., matters initiated prior to
the implementation date).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended
[sic]. The proposed rule change is not intended to address competitive
issues, but it should reduce burdens on Members, [sic] and Associated
Persons. Specifically and as described in detail above, the Exchange
believes that this change will bring efficiency and consistency in
application of the investigative, disciplinary, and adjudicatory
processes, thereby reducing the burden on Members and Associated
Persons who are also members of BX.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \147\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\148\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \147\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \148\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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:

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2023-0039; Airspace Docket No. 23-AEA-1]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Altoona, PA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Altoona,
PA. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace
review caused by the decommissioning of the Revloc very high frequency
omnidirectional range (VOR) navigation aids as part of the VOR Minimum
Operating Network (MON) Program. The name of the airport would also be
updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 27, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of

Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, West

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend the Class E surface airspace and the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Altoona/Blair
County Airport, Altoona, PA, to support instrument flight rule
operations at this airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2023-0039; Airspace Docket No. 23-AEA-1) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section for
the address and phone number). You may also submit comment through the
internet at www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this notice must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to Docket No. FAA-2023-0039/Airspace Docket No. 23-AEA-1.'' The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified closing date
will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule. The
proposal contained in this action may be changed in light of the
comments received. All comments submitted will be available for
examination in the public docket both before and after the comment
closing date. A report summarizing each substantive public contact with
FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at
www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E airspace is published in paragraphs 6002 and 6005 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September
15, 2022. These updates would be published subsequently in the next
update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by:
    Amending the Class E surface airspace to within a 9.3-mile
(increased from a 4.7-mile) radius of Altoona/Blair County Airport,
Altoona, PA; removing the extension northeast of the airport as it is
no longer required; and updating the name (previously Altoona-Blair
County Airport) of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database;
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within an 11.8-mile (increased from an 11.2-mile)
radius of Altoona/Blair County Airport; adding an extension 2 miles
each side of the 196[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the
11.8-mile radius to 12 miles south of the airport; and updating the
name (previously Altoona-Blair County Airport) of the airport to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Revloc VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of
the VOR MON Program and will support instrument flight rule operations
at this airport.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (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) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance

with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

The Proposed Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
