BILLING CODE 3510   06   P LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Copyright Office 37 CFR Part 253 [ Docket No. 2002   4 CARP NCBRA]

Cost of Living Adjustment for Performance of Musical Compositions by Colleges and Universities AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress. ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress announces a cost of living adjustment of 2.0% in the royalty rates paid by colleges, universities, or other nonprofit educational institutions that are not affiliated with National Public Radio for the use of copyrighted published nondramatic musical compositions in the BMI and ASCAP repertories. The cost of living adjustment is based on the change in the Consumer Price Index from October, 2001, to October, 2002. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2003. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tanya M. Sandros, Senior Attorney, Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel, P. O. Box 70977, Southwest Station, Washington, D. C. 20024. Telephone: ( 202) 707   8380. Telefax: ( 202) 252   3423.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 118 of the Copyright Act, 17 U. S. C., creates a compulsory license for the use of published nondramatic musical works and published pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works in connection with noncommercial broadcasting. Terms and rates for this compulsory license, applicable to parties who are not subject to privately negotiated licenses, are published in 37 CFR part 253 and are subject to adjustment at five year intervals. 17 U. S. C. 118( c). The most recent proceeding to adjust the terms and rates for the section 118 license began in April of this year. 67 FR 15414 ( April 1, 2002). On October 30, 2002, the Copyright Office announced proposed regulations governing the terms and rates of copyright royalty payments with respect to certain uses by public broadcasting entities of published nondramatic musical works, and published pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works, including a provision to adjust § 253.10 which provides for an annual cost of living adjustment of the rates for the public performance of musical compositions in the ASCAP and BMI repertories by public broadcasting entities licensed to colleges and universities set forth in § 253.5 for the new license period, 2003   2007. 67 FR 66090 ( October 30, 2002). Under the proposed rules, the § 253.5 rate for the public performance of musical compositions in the SESAC repertory will be $ 80 for 2003, subject to an annual cost of living adjustment in each subsequent year thereafter during the licensing period. Section 253.10( b) requires that the Librarian publish a revised schedule of rates for the public performance of musical compositions in the ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC repertories by public broadcasting entities licensed to colleges and universities, reflecting the change in the Consumer Price Index. Accordingly, the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is hereby announcing the change in the Consumer Price Index and performing the proposed annual cost of living adjustment to the rates set out in § 253.5( c) for the public performance of musical compositions in the BMI and ASCAP repertories in accordance with the October 30 proposed regulations. The change in the cost of living as determined by the Consumer Price Index ( all consumers, all items) during the period from the most recent Index published before December 1, 2001, to the most recent Index published before December 1, 2002, is 2% ( 2001' s figure was 177.7; the figure for 2001 is 181.3, based on 1982   1984= 100 as a reference base). Rounding off to the nearest dollar, the royalty rate for the use of musical compositions in the repertory of ASCAP is $ 249 and the use of the musical compositions in the repertory of BMI is the same, $ 249. If no comments are received regarding the proposed amendments to § § 253.5 and 253.10 announced in the October 30 Federal Register notice and the final rules are published before January 1, 2003, the cost of living adjustments announced in this notice shall become effective on January 1, 2003.

II. Background and Statutory Findings EPA, on its own initiative, in accordance with sections 408( e) and 408 ( l)( 6) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ( FFDCA), 21 U. S. C. 346a, is establishing a tolerance for residues of the insecticide pyriproxyfen, 2[ 1 methyl 2( 4 phenoxyphenoxy) ethoxypyridine], in or on strawberry at 0.30 part per million ( ppm). This tolerance will expire and is revoked on December 31, 2004. EPA will publish a document in the Federal Register to remove the revoked tolerance from the Code of Federal Regulations. Section 408( l)( 6) of FFDCA requires EPA to establish a time limited tolerance or exemption from the requirement for a tolerance for pesticide chemical residues in food that will result from the use of a pesticide under an emergency exemption granted by EPA under section 18 of FIFRA. Such tolerances can be established without providing notice or period for public comment. EPA does not intend for its actions on section 18 related tolerances to set binding precedents for the application of section 408 of FFDCA and the new safety standard to other tolerances and exemptions. Section 408( e) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a tolerance or an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance on its own initiative, i. e., without having received any petition from an outside party. Section 408( b)( 2)( A)( i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a tolerance ( the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is `` safe.'' Section 408( b)( 2)( A)( ii) of FFDCA defines `` safe'' to mean that `` there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through drinking water and in residential settings, but does not include occupational exposure. Section 408( b)( 2)( C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to `` ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. . . .'' Section 18 of FIFRA authorizes EPA to exempt any Federal or State agency from any provision of FIFRA, if EPA determines that `` emergency conditions exist which require such exemption.'' This provision was not amended by the Food Quality Protection Act ( FQPA) of 1996. EPA has established regulations governing such emergency exemptions in 40 CFR part 166.

III. Emergency Exemption for Pyriproxyfen on Strawberry and FFDCA Tolerances The California Department of Pesticide Regulation has indicated that populations of the silverleaf whitefly in the State are at levels which could result in significant damage to the State's strawberry crop. This pest is relatively newly introduced into the U. S., and the registered alternatives have not provided adequate control thus far. Without adequate control, this pest was expected to result in significant crop damage and yield losses for strawberry growers, leading to significant economic losses. EPA has authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use of pyriproxyfen on strawberry for control of the silverleaf whitefly in California. After having reviewed the submission, EPA concurs that emergency conditions exist for this State. As part of its assessment of this emergency exemption, EPA assessed the potential risks presented by residues of pyriproxyfen in or on strawberry. In doing so, EPA considered the safety standard in section 408( b)( 2) of FFDCA, and EPA decided that the necessary tolerance under section 408( l)( 6) of FFDCA would be consistent with the safety standard and with FIFRA section 18. Consistent with the need to move quickly on the emergency exemption in VerDate 0ct< 31> 2002 12: 36 Nov 27, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\ FR\ FM\ 29NOR1. SGM 29NOR1 71107 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2002 / Rules and Regulations order to address an urgent non routine situation and to ensure that the resulting food is safe and lawful, EPA is issuing this tolerance without notice and opportunity for public comment as provided in section 408( l)( 6) of FFDCA. Although this tolerance will expire and is revoked on December 31, 2004, under section 408( l)( 5) of FFDCA, residues of the pesticide not in excess of the amounts specified in the tolerance remaining in or on strawberry after that date will not be unlawful, provided the pesticide is applied in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA, and the residues do not exceed a level that was authorized by this tolerance at the time of that application. EPA will take action to revoke this tolerance earlier if any experience with, scientific data on, or other relevant information on this pesticide indicate that the residues are not safe. Because this tolerance is being approved under emergency conditions, EPA has not made any decisions about whether pyriproxyfen meets EPA's registration requirements for use on strawberry or whether a permanent tolerance for this use would be appropriate. Under these circumstances, EPA does not believe that this tolerance serves as a basis for registration of pyriproxyfen by a State for special local needs under FIFRA section 24( c). Nor does this tolerance serve as the basis for any State other than California to use this pesticide on this crop under section 18 of FIFRA without following all provisions of EPA's regulations implementing FIFRA section 18 as identified in 40 CFR part 166. For additional information regarding the emergency exemption for pyriproxyfen, contact the Agency's Registration Division at the address provided under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

IV. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety EPA performs a number of analyses to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide residues. For further discussion of the regulatory requirements of section 408 of the FFDCA and a complete description of the risk assessment process, see the final rule on Bifenthrin Pesticide Tolerances November 26, 1997 ( 62 FR 62961) ( FRL   5754   7). Consistent with section 408( b)( 2)( D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the available scientific data and other relevant information in support of this action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of pyriproxyfen and to make a determination on aggregate exposure, consistent with section 408( b)( 2) of FFDCA, for a time limited tolerance for residues of pyriproxyfen in or on strawberry at 0.30 ppm. EPA's assessment of the dietary exposures and risks associated with establishing the tolerance follows.

A. Toxicological Endpoints EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and children. The nature of the toxic effects caused by pyriproxyfen, a summary of the toxicological dose and endpoints for pyriproxyfen for use in this human risk assessment, and the most recent estimated aggregate risks resulting from registered uses are discussed in the Federal Register for August 28, 2002 ( 67 FR 55150) ( FRL   7195   7) Final Rule establishing tolerances for residues of pyriproxyfen in/ on acerola, bushberry subgroup, feijoa, guava, jaboticaba, juneberry, lingonberry, longan, lychee, passionfruit, pulasan, rambutan, salal, Spanish lime, starfruit, stone fruit group, and wax jambu. Refer to the August 28, 2002 Federal Register document for a detailed discussion of the aggregate risk assessments and determination of safety. EPA relies upon that risk assessment and the findings made in the Federal Register document in support of this action. Below is a brief summary of the aggregate risk assessment, including this use on strawberry. B. Exposure Assessment EPA assessed risk scenarios for pyriproxyfen under chronic and intermediate and short term ( residential) scenarios. Because there were no acute endpoints identified, an acute risk assessment was not conducted. Nor was a cancer aggregate risk assessment conducted, because pyriproxyfen is classified as `` not likely'' to be a human carcinogen. The Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model ( DEEMTM) analysis evaluated the individual food consumption as reported by respondents in the Department of Agricultural ( USDA) 1989   1992 nationwide Continuing Surveys of Food Intake by Individuals ( CSFII) and accumulated exposure to the chemical for each commodity. The following assumptions were made for the chronic exposure assessments: Published and proposed tolerance level residues and 100% crop treated were assumed for all commodities, and the default processing factors were applied. Using these exposure assumptions, EPA concluded that pyriproxyfen chronic exposures from food consumption are below levels of concern (< 100% of the chronic Population Adjusted Dose ( cPAD)) for the general U. S. population and all population subgroups. The cPAD utilized for the most highly exposed subgroup ( children 1   6 years old) is 2.7%. Chronic risk from dietary exposure for infants (< 1 year old) and children ( 7   12 years old) utilizes 2.0% and 1.6% of the cPAD, respectively. Chronic dietary risk for the general U. S. population is 1.0% of the cPAD, and the estimated chronic risk for all other population subgroups is below this level. In addition, despite the potential for chronic dietary exposure to pyriproxyfen in drinking water, after calculating drinking water levels of concern ( DWLOCs) and comparing them to conservative model EECs of pyriproxyfen in surface and ground waters, EPA does not expect the aggregate exposure to exceed 100% of the cPAD, as shown in the following table:

TABLE 1.   AGGREGATE RISK ASSESSMENT FOR CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PYRIPROXYFEN Population Subgroup cPAD ( mg/ kg) % cPAD ( Food) Surface Water EEC ( ppb) Ground Water EEC ( ppb) Chronic DWLOC ( ppb)

S. population 0.35 1.0 0.4 0.006 12,000 Children ( 1   6 years old) 0.35 2.7 0.4 0.006 3,100 Children ( 7   12 years old) 0.35 1.6 0.4 0.006 3,200 VerDate 0ct< 31> 2002 12: 36 Nov 27, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\ FR\ FM\ 29NOR1.

Infants (< 1 year old) 0.35 2.0 0.4 0.006 3,200 Short term and intermediate term aggregate exposure takes into account residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food and water ( considered to be a background exposure level). The term `` residential exposure'' is used in this document to refer to nonoccupational non dietary exposure ( e. g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control, termiticides, flea and tick control on pets). Pyriproxyfen is currently registered for various residential non dietary sites, and is used for flea and tick control ( home environment and pet treatments) as well as products for ant and roach control. Pet owners could potentially be exposed to pyriproxyfen during applications to pets; however, since no short term dermal or inhalation endpoints were identified, only a postapplication residential assessment was conducted. Both adults and toddlers could potentially be exposed to pyriproxyfen residues on treated carpets, floors, upholstery, and pets, but it is anticipated that toddlers will have higher exposures than adults due to behavior patterns. Therefore, the residential risk assessment addressed post application exposures of toddlers, which is considered to be a worst case scenario. Short term, intermediate term, and long term toddler hand to mouth exposures ( consisting of petting treated animals and touching treated carpets/ flooring) were assessed; long term dermal exposures were also assessed for products with anticipated efficacy of more than 6 months ( carpet powders and pet collars). Toddler exposures to combined treatment scenarios, where a pet owner treats the home environment and the pet in the same period were also assessed. The Agency has determined that it is appropriate to aggregate chronic food and water and short term and intermediate term exposures for pyriproxyfen. Using the exposure assumptions described above for shortterm and intermediate term exposures, EPA has concluded that food and residential exposures aggregated result in aggregate MOEs as shown in the following table:

TABLE 2.   AGGREGATE RISK ASSESSMENT FOR SHORT TERM AND INTERMEDIATE TERM EXPOSURE TO PYRIPROXYFEN Population Subgroup Target MOE Short Term Aggregate MOE ( Food + Residential) Intermediate Term Aggregate MOE ( Food + Residential Surface, Ground Water EECs ( ppb) Short Term DWLOCs ( ppb) Intermidate Term DWLOCs ( ppb)

S. population 100 29,000 10,000 0.4, 0.006 35,000 12,000 Infants (< 1 year old) 100 1,800 650 0.4, 0.006 9,400 3,000 Children ( 1   6 years) 100 1,700 620 0.4, 0.006 9,400 2,900 Children ( 7   12 years) 100 1,900 670 0.4, 0.006 9,500 3,000 These aggregate MOEs do not exceed the Agency's level of concern for aggregate exposure to food and residential uses. For surface and ground water, the EECs for pyriproxyfen are significantly less than the DWLOCs as a contribution to intermediate term and short term aggregate exposure. Therefore, EPA concludes with reasonable certainty that residues of pyriproxyfen in drinking water do not contribute significantly to the intermediate term or short term aggregate human health risk at the present time. Pyriproxyfen is classified as not likely to be a human carcinogen, so the Agency did not conduct a cancer aggregate risk assessment. Based upon these risk assessments, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population, and to infants and children, from aggregate exposure to pyriproxyfen residues.

V. Other Considerations A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology Adequate enforcement methodology ( gas liquid chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus ( GLC/ NP) detector) is available to enforce the tolerance expression. The method may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry Branch, Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755   5350; telephone number: ( 410) 305   2905; e mail address: residuemethods@ epa. gov.

B. International Residue Limits There are no Codex, Canadian, or Mexican maximum residue limits for residues of pyriproxyfen in/ on strawberry, so international harmonization is not an issue. C. Conditions A maximum of two applications may be made, at a maximum rate of 30 grams active ingredient ( a. i.), using ground application equipment only. No more than 60 grams a. i. may be applied per acre per season.

VI. Conclusion Therefore, the tolerance is established for residues of pyriproxyfen, 2[ 1 methyl 2( 4 phenoxyphenoxy) ethoxypyridine], in or on strawberry at 0.30 ppm.

VII. Objections and Hearing Requests Under section 408( g) of FFDCA, as amended by FQPA, any person may file an objection to any aspect of this regulation and may also request a hearing on those objections. The EPA procedural regulations which govern the submission of objections and requests for hearings appear in 40 CFR part 178.

B. When Will the Agency Grant a Request for a Hearing? A request for a hearing will be granted if the Administrator determines that the material submitted shows the following: There is a genuine and substantial issue of fact; there is a reasonable possibility that available evidence identified by the requestor would, if established resolve one or more of such issues in favor of the requestor, taking into account uncontested claims or facts to the contrary; and resolution of the factual issues( s) in the manner sought by the requestor would be adequate to justify the action requested ( 40 CFR 178.32).

VIII. Regulatory Assessment Requirements This final rule establishes a timelimited tolerance under section 408 of the FFDCA. The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review ( 58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866 due to its lack of significance, this rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use ( 66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This final rule does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act ( PRA), 44 U. S. C. 3501 et seq., or impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 ( UMRA) ( Public Law 104   4). Nor does it require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations ( 59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994); or OMB review or any Agency action under Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks ( 62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not involve any technical standards that would require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12( d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 ( NTTAA), Public Law 104   113, section 12( d) ( 15 U. S. C. 272 note). Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis of a FIFRA section 18 exemption under section 408 of the FFDCA, such as the tolerance in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act ( RFA) ( 5 U. S. C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. In addition, the Agency has determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect VerDate 0ct< 31> 2002 12: 36 Nov 27, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\ FR\ FM\ 29NOR1. SGM 29NOR1 71110 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2002 / Rules and Regulations on 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism ( 64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). Executive Order 13132 requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure `` meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.'' `` Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations that have `` substantial direct effects 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.'' This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, not States. This action does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of section 408( n)( 4) of the FFDCA. For these same reasons, the Agency has determined that this rule does not have any `` tribal implications'' as described in Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments ( 65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000). Executive Order 13175, requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure `` meaningful and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have tribal implications.'' `` Policies that have tribal implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations that have `` substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.'' This rule will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, 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, as specified in Executive Order 13175. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.

IX. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General The Congressional Review Act, 5 U. S. C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U. S. Senate, the U. S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal Register. This final rule is not a `` major rule'' as defined by 5 U. S. C. 804( 2).

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission published a document in the Federal Register on June 20, 2002, ( 67 FR 41847), revising the Quiet Zone procedures for operation near GOES stations. The publication incorrectly indicated that the GOES procedures were contained in § 1.924( f) and, therefore, inadvertently removed the Quiet Zone procedures for operation in the 420   450 MHz band. This document corrects the Quiet Zone procedures by re inserting the procedures for operation in 420   450 MHz band into § 1.924( f) and lists the updated procedures for operation near GOES stations into § 1.924( g).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the FR Doc. 02   15373 published in the Federal Register on June 20, 2002, ( 67 FR 41847) the Commission updated the Quiet Zone procedures for operation near GOES stations. The document incorrectly indicated that the GOES procedures were contained in § 1.924( f). The GOES procedures are supposed to be listed in § 1.924( g). The Quiet Zone procedures listed in § 1.924( f) are intended for operation in the 420   450 MHz band. Therefore, the Federal Register publication inadvertently deleted the Quiet Zone procedures for operation in the 420   450 MHz band. The Quiet Zone procedures for operations near GOES stations are intended to apply only to operation in the 1670   1675 MHz band. Therefore, the Quiet Zone procedures for operation in the 420   450 MHz band should be re inserted into § 1.924( f) and VerDate 0ct< 31> 2002 16: 53 Nov 27, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\ FR\ FM\ 29NOR1.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus SAS Model A330-200, -300, -800, and -900 series airplanes; and
Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600

series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that the instructions
on the doghouse door lock placard are unclear and incomplete. This AD
requires replacing the placard with an improved instruction placard, as
specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which
is incorporated by reference. This AD also prohibits the installation
of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0136, dated June 4, 2021 (EASA
AD 2021-0136) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS A330-201, A330-202, A330-203, A330-223,
A330-243, A330-301, A330-302, A330-303, A330-321, A330-322, A330-323,
A330-341, A330-342, A330-343, A330-841, A330-941, A340-211, A340-212,
A340-213, A340-311, A340-312, A340-313, A340-541, A340-542, A340-642,
and A340-643 airplanes. Model A340-542 and A340-643 airplanes are not
certificated by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type
certificate data sheet; this AD therefore does not include those
airplanes in the applicability.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model
A330-200, -300, -800, and -900 series airplanes; and Model A340-200, -
300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on October 7, 2021 (86 FR 55747). The NPRM was prompted by
reports that the instructions on the doghouse door lock placard are
unclear and incomplete. The NPRM proposed replacing the placard with an
improved instruction placard, as specified in EASA AD 2021-0136. The
NPRM also proposed to prohibit the installation of affected parts under
certain conditions.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address possible incorrect operation
of the doghouse door lock due to unclear and incomplete handling
instructions on the door placard installed near the lock. This
condition, if not addressed, could lead to failure of the latch, which
could block the door in the closed position and prevent access to the
emergency equipment inside the doghouse. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from the Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) who supported the NPRM without change.
    The FAA received an additional comment from Delta Air Lines (DAL).
The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's
response.

Request for Exception to Required Part

    DAL requested an exception to allow the use of internally
manufactured placards having the same text and font size as the Diehl
placard, part number (P/N) 1500500-00C844, specified in the Diehl
Aviation service information referenced in EASA AD 2021-0136. DAL
stated that if one of the installed Diehl placards were missing or
damaged, alternate placard sources may be able to provide replacements
faster while maintaining an acceptable level of safety.
    The FAA does not agree with the requested exception. This AD
mandates the use of a placard, P/N 1500500-00C844, specified in the
Diehl Aviation service information. Operators may request to use an
alternate placard through the alternative method of compliance (AMOC)
process specified in the provisions of paragraph (i)(1) of this AD.
Operators should provide justification that such an alternate placard
meets all airworthiness requirements, not only that the placard would
have the same text and font size. This AD has not been changed with
regard to this request.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as
proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic
burden on any operator. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0136 specifies procedures for replacing the
instruction placard on the passenger cabin doghouse door. EASA AD 2021-
0136 also prohibits the installation of doghouses with incorrect
instruction placards.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 62 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Labor cost                      Parts cost            Cost per product     Cost on U.S.  operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 work-hours x $85 per hour = $170...  Up to $95 per placard..  Up to $265 per placard.  Up to $16,430.*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Assuming one placard per product. The number of placards on an airplane depends on the passenger configuration
  and varies from operator to operator.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    (8) Model A340-642 airplanes.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 25, Equipment/
furnishings.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports that the instructions on the
doghouse door lock placard are unclear and incomplete. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address possible incorrect operation of the
doghouse door lock due to unclear and incomplete handling
instructions on the door placard installed near the lock. This
condition, if not addressed, could lead to failure of the latch,
which could block the door in the closed position and prevent access
to the emergency equipment inside the doghouse.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD
2021-0136, dated June 4, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0136).

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2021-0136

    (1) Where EASA AD 2021-0136 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    (2) Although EASA AD 2021-0136 specifies to ``remove the placard
and install an improved handling instructions placard on each
affected part,'' this AD requires replacing the placard on each
affected part with an improved handling instructions placard.
    (3) The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2021-0136 does not apply
to this AD.

(i) Additional AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Large Aircraft Section, International Validation Branch, FAA, has
the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 39.19, send
your request to your principal inspector or responsible Flight
Standards Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to
the Large Aircraft Section, International Validation Branch, send it
to the attention of the person identified in paragraph (j) of this
AD. Information may be emailed to: [email protected].
Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal
inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the
responsible Flight Standards Office.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, Large Aircraft
Section, International Validation Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus
SAS's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the
DOA, the approval must include the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except as required by
paragraph (i)(2) of this AD, if any service information contains
procedures or tests that are identified as RC, those procedures and
tests must be done to comply with this AD; any procedures or tests
that are not identified as RC are recommended. Those procedures and
tests that are not identified as RC may be deviated from using
accepted methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or
inspection program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided

the procedures and tests identified as RC can be done and the
airplane can be put back in an airworthy condition. Any
substitutions or changes to procedures or tests identified as RC
require approval of an AMOC.

(j) Related Information

under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford
Act''), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Hawaii resulting from the Kilauea volcanic eruption and
earthquakes beginning on May 3, 2018, and continuing, is of
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford
Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in
the State of Hawaii.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby
authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and
administrative expenses.
    You are authorized to provide Public Assistance in the
designated area and Hazard Mitigation throughout the State.
Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance be
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs. Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance also will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs, with the exception of projects that meet the
eligibility criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing percentage
under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for
Debris Removal implemented pursuant to section 428 of the Stafford
Act.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
