RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional
Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This
proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The
MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: There have been several cases
of wing leading edge anti-ice piccolo duct failure reported on CL-600-
2B19 (CRJ) aircraft. Upon investigation, it was determined that ducts
manufactured since May 2000 are susceptible to cracking due to the
process used to drill holes in the ducts. This cracking may cause air
leakage, with a possible adverse effect on the anti-ice air
distribution pattern and anti-ice capability, without annunciation to
the flight crew [and consequent reduced controllability of the
airplane]. It has subsequently been determined that faulty ducts may
also have been installed in a number of leading edge assemblies built
as spares and whose current locations are not specifically known.
    The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address
the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 24, 2009.

Discussion

    On November 4, 2008, we issued AD 2008-23-16, Amendment 39-15737
(73 FR 67363, November 14, 2008). That AD required actions intended to
address an unsafe condition on the products listed above. The preamble
to AD 2008-23-16 explains that we consider those requirements ``interim
action'' and were considering further rulemaking. We now have
determined that further rulemaking is indeed necessary to require the
previously optional terminating action, and this proposed AD follows
from that determination. Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which
is the aviation authority for Canada, previously issued Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF-2008-30, dated October 7, 2008 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products.
    The unsafe condition is cracked piccolo ducts, which could result
in air leakage, a possible adverse effect on the anti-ice distribution
pattern and anti-ice capability without annunciation to the flight
crew, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. Required
actions include revising the airplane

flight manual, inspecting to determine if certain anti-ice piccolo
ducts are installed, and replacing or repairing the piccolo duct if
necessary. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in
the AD docket.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 711 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2008-23-16 and retained in this
proposed AD take about 3 work-hours per product, at an average labor
rate of $80 per work hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product.
Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently required
actions on U.S. operators is $170, 640, or $240 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 12 work-hours per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $0 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD
on U.S. operators to be $682,560, or $960 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15737 (73 FR
67363, November 14, 2008) and adding the following new AD:

Bombardier, Inc. (Formerly Canadair): Docket No. FAA-2009-0656;
Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-038-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by August 24, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) The proposed AD supersedes AD 2008-23-16, Amendment 39-
15737.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional
Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, certificated in any category;
serial numbers (S/Ns) 7003 through 7067 inclusive, 7069 through 7990
inclusive, 8000 through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 through
8092 inclusive, 8096, and 8097.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 30: Ice and
rain protection.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    There have been several cases of wing leading edge anti-ice
piccolo duct failure reported on CL-600-2B19 (CRJ) aircraft. Upon
investigation, it was determined that ducts manufactured since May
2000 are susceptible to cracking due to the process used to drill
holes in the ducts. This cracking may cause air leakage, with a
possible adverse effect on the anti-ice air distribution pattern and
anti-ice capability, without annunciation to the flight crew [and
consequent reduced controllability of the airplane].
    The faulty ducts were installed on aircraft SN 7417 through 7990
and 8000 through 8055 in production, and as replacement parts on in
service aircraft SN 7014, 7017, 7037, 7046, 7059, 7076, 7105, 7127,
7151, 7157, 7163, 7179, 7203, 7228, 7271, 7347, 7359, 7362, 7378 and
7381. Service Bulletin (SB) 601R-30-029, Revision B and AD CF-2005-
26R1 previously covered the above aircraft serial numbers.
    It has subsequently been determined that faulty ducts may also
have been installed in a number of leading edge assemblies built as
spares and whose current locations are not specifically known. As
they may have been installed on any of the aircraft serial numbers
in the Applicability section of this directive, checking of records
and/or inspection * * * is now required for all applicable aircraft.

    This directive, which supersedes and cancels AD CF-2005-26R1
[which corresponds to FAA AD 2005-17-12, amendment 39-14223],
mandates the amendment of the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
procedures, in addition to checking the part numbers and serial
numbers of installed and spare wing anti-ice piccolo ducts, as
required, and inspecting, replacing or repairing them as necessary.
Terminating action is also introduced.

Required actions include revising the airplane flight manual,
inspecting to determine if certain anti-ice piccolo ducts are
installed, and replacing or repairing the piccolo duct if necessary.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2005-17-12

Identification of Affected Piccolo Tubes

    (f) Unless already done, for airplanes having S/Ns 7013, 7017,
7037, 7046, 7059, 7076, 7105, 7127, 7151, 7157, 7163, 7174, 7179,
7203, 7204, 7228, 7271, 7347, 7362, 7378, 7417 through 7990
inclusive, 8000 through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 through
8092 inclusive, 8096 and 8097: Before the airplane accumulates 3,000
total flight hours, or within 14 days after September 7, 2005 (the
effective date of AD 2005-17-12, which was superseded by AD 2008-23-
16), whichever occurs later, determine whether any affected piccolo
tube is installed on the airplane. Affected piccolo tubes are
identified in paragraph 1.A. of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-
029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005. Doing the action required by
paragraph (p), (q), (r), (w), or (y) of this AD terminates the
requirements of this paragraph.

Revision to Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)

    (g) Unless already done, for airplanes with an affected or
unidentifiable piccolo tube found during the action required by
paragraph (f) of this AD: Before the airplane accumulates 3,000
total flight hours, or within 14 days after September 7, 2005,
whichever occurs later, revise the Operating Limitations and
Abnormal Procedures sections of the Canadair Regional Jet AFM, CSP
A-012, to include the information in Canadair Temporary Revision
(TR) RJ/155, dated July 5, 2005, as specified in the TR. This may be
done by inserting a copy of the TR into the AFM. This TR introduces
new procedures for operation in icing conditions. Operate the
airplane according to the limitations and procedures in the TR
except as required by paragraph (n) of this AD. When this TR has
been included in general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions
may be inserted in the AFM, provided the relevant information in the
general revision is identical to that in the TR. After the AFM
revision required by paragraph (n) of this AD has been done, remove
the AFM limitation specified in this paragraph.

Optional Inspections

    (h) Unless already done, for airplanes with an affected or
unidentifiable piccolo tube found during the action required by
paragraph (f) of this AD: The operating limitations and abnormal
procedures specified in Canadair TR RJ/155, dated July 5, 2005, as
required by paragraph (g) of this AD, may be removed from the AFM,
provided all requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied.
    (1) A fluorescent dye penetrant inspection for cracks of the
piccolo tubes is done and repeated thereafter within 2,000-flight-
hour intervals in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7,
2005. An inspection done before September 7, 2005, in accordance
with Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, dated June 17, 2005,
is acceptable for compliance with the requirements of paragraph
(h)(1) of this AD. Doing the inspection required by paragraph (u) of
this AD terminates the actions required by this paragraph.
    (2) All applicable corrective actions are done as specified in
paragraph (j) of this AD.

AFM Limitations Required for Exceeding Inspection Interval

    (i) Unless already done, for airplanes having S/Ns 7013, 7017,
7037, 7046, 7059, 7076, 7105, 7127, 7151, 7157, 7163, 7174, 7179,
7203, 7204, 7228, 7271, 7347, 7362, 7378, 7417 through 7990
inclusive, 8000 through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 through
8092 inclusive, 8096 and 8097: During any period in which the
inspection interval exceeds 2,000 flight hours after the initial
inspection specified in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD, the airplane
must be operated under the limitations and abnormal procedures
specified in paragraph (g) of this AD. Doing the action required by
paragraph (p), (q), (r), (w), or (y) of this AD terminates the
requirements of this paragraph.

Corrective Action

    (j) Unless already done, if any crack is found during any
inspection required by paragraph (h) of this AD: Before further
flight, do the actions specified in paragraph (j)(1), (j)(2),
(j)(3), (j)(4), or (j)(5) of this AD, except as required by
paragraph (k) of this AD.
    (1) Replace the cracked piccolo tube, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-
029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, with a new piccolo tube that
has the same part number as identified in paragraph 1.A. of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7,
2005, but that does not have a serial number listed in that
paragraph.
    (2) Replace the cracked piccolo tube, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-
029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, with a new piccolo tube that
has a part number identified in the applicable Bombardier
illustrated parts catalog but not identified in paragraph 1.A. of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7,

been inspected in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-30-029, Revision A, dated July 7,
2005, is not cracked, and has not accumulated any air time (hours
time-in-service) since inspection.
    (4) Replace the cracked piccolo tube with a piccolo tube that
has been repaired in accordance with a method approved by either the
Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), ANE-172, FAA;
or Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) (or its delegated agent);
and has not accumulated any air time (hours time-in-service) since
the repair.
    (5) Reinstall the cracked piccolo tube and operate the airplane
in accordance with a method approved by either the Manager, New York
ACO, or TCCA (or its delegated agent). Operation in accordance with
the provisions of Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) entry 30-12-
03 is acceptable for compliance with the requirements of this
paragraph.

Exception to Service Bulletin Procedures

    (k) Unless already done: Where Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-
30-029, Revision A, dated July 7, 2005, specifies that Bombardier
may be contacted for information regarding repair, this AD requires
repair according to a method approved by either the Manager, New
York ACO, or TCCA (or its delegated agent).

Optional Terminating Action for Paragraphs (f), (g), (h), (i), and (j)

    (l) Unless already done, for airplanes having S/Ns 7013, 7017,
7037, 7046, 7059, 7076, 7105, 7127, 7151, 7157, 7163, 7174, 7179,

requirements of paragraphs (f) through (l) of this AD have been
accomplished for that piccolo tube before the effective date of this
AD or the requirements specified in paragraph (v) of this AD have
been accomplished. As of December 1, 2008 (the effective date of AD
2008-23-16), the requirements of paragraph (v) of this AD must be
followed.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2008-23-16

Revision to AFM

    (n) Unless already done: For all airplanes, within 14 days after
December 1, 2008, revise the Operating Limitations and Abnormal
Procedures sections of the Canadair Regional Jet AFM, CSP A-012, to
include the information in Canadair (Bombardier) TR RJ/155-6, dated
September 17, 2008, as specified in that TR. This may be done by
inserting a copy of Canadair (Bombardier) TR RJ/155-6 into the AFM.
This TR introduces new procedures for operation in icing conditions.
After the AFM revision specified in this paragraph has been done,
the AFM limitation required by paragraph (g) of this AD must be
removed from the AFM.

    Note 1: When Canadair (Bombardier) TR RJ/155-6, dated September
17, 2008, has been included in general revisions of the AFM, the
general revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the relevant
information in the general revision is identical to that in Canadair
(Bombardier) TR RJ/155-6.

    (o) Unless already done: Before further flight after
accomplishing paragraph (n) of this AD, operate the airplane
according to the limitations and procedures in Canadair (Bombardier)
TR RJ/155-6, dated September 17, 2008, except that MMEL entry 30-12-
03, which permits the wing anti-ice system to be inoperative with
specific provisions, is not affected by this AD.

Records Check

    (p) Unless already done, for airplanes having S/Ns 7003 through
7013 inclusive, 7015, 7016, 7018 through 7036 inclusive, 7038
through 7045 inclusive, 7047 through 7058 inclusive, 7060 through
7067 inclusive, 7069 through 7075 inclusive, 7077 through 7104

7152 through 7156 inclusive, 7158 through 7162 inclusive, 7164
through 7178 inclusive, 7180 through 7202 inclusive, 7204 through
7227 inclusive, 7229 through 7270 inclusive, 7272 through 7346
inclusive, 7348 through 7358 inclusive, 7360, 7361, 7363 through
7377 inclusive, 7379, 7380, 7382 through 7416 inclusive, 8056
through 8076 inclusive, 8082, 8086, 8090 though 8092 inclusive, 8096
and 8097: Within 30 days after December 1, 2008, review the airplane
maintenance records to determine if any anti-ice piccolo ducts or
complete leading edge sections have been replaced since May 1, 2000.
Doing the review in this paragraph terminates the requirements of
paragraphs (f) and (i) of this AD. Doing the action specified in
paragraph (w) or (y) of this AD terminates the requirements of this
paragraph.
    (1) If no anti-ice piccolo ducts and no complete leading edge
sections have been replaced since May 1, 2000, no further action is
required by this paragraph.
    (2) If any anti-ice piccolo duct or complete leading edge
section has been replaced since May 1, 2000, or if it cannot be
conclusively determined that no anti-ice piccolo ducts and no
complete leading edge sections have been replaced since May 1, 2000,
before further flight, inspect the serial numbers of the replaced
ducts. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in
lieu of this inspection if the serial number of the duct can be
conclusively determined from that review.
    (i) If none of the piccolo duct serial numbers match any of
those in Part A, Paragraph 2.A., of the Accomplishment Instructions
of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A601R-30-032, dated September
18, 2008, no further action is required by this paragraph.
    (ii) If any of the piccolo duct serial numbers matches any of
those in Part A, Paragraph 2.A., of the Accomplishment Instructions
of Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin A601R-30-032, dated September
18, 2008, or if the serial number cannot be determined, do the
actions required by paragraph (s) of this AD.

Honda Releases the iGX440 Next-Generation General Purpose Engine with Electronic Control Technology—a World’s First

The iGX440 employs Honda’s newly developed world’s-first1 electronic governor2 (STR3 GOVERNOR) electronic engine speed control technology, which eliminates the need for a battery. The electronic governor system allows the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to continuously monitor throttle opening and engine speed, electronically regulating throttle opening to maintain a constant engine speed even under changing engine load conditions. This intelligent control technology permits selection of the appropriate engine speed characteristics and the setting of optimum maximum and idling rpms for power products fitted with the iGX440. Also, the power product’s ECU can communicate with the engine’ ECU and control its speed, making the power product easier to operate.

In addition, an auto fuel valve4 and auto choke5 eliminate the need for the operator to open and close the fuel valve or adjust the choke, for a significant improvement in ease of operation.

The iGX440 also boasts environmental performance among the best in the world, achieving emissions levels approximately 30% less1 than those stipulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Phase 2 emission standards and the California Air Resources Board Tier II emissions standards—the most stringent in the world. Fuel economy has been improved over engines of the same class6 by approximately 15%7, and noise reduced by approximately 4dB(A)8.

In the future, Honda intends to expand its lineup of iGX-series engines employing this intelligent technology, to set a new standard in next-generation general purpose engines.

1	According to Honda survey

2	Governor: a device that regulates engine speed (maintains a constant engine speed, despite load fluctuations)

3	Self Tuning Regulator: self-adjusting device

4	Auto fuel valve: a device that automatically turns the fuel supply on and off in accordance with engine operation.

5	Auto choke: a device that automatically limits air intake during engine startup to enrich the air-fuel mixture.(equipped as standard to starter motor type)

6	15-horsepower class

7	When operating in EPA mode for one hour

8	EU noise regulations, operating in generator measurement mode

 	Main Features of the iGX440

 	World’s first1 electronic governor2 (STR3 GOVERNOR)

 	The newly developed world’s-first1 electronic governor system features a power coil9 which generates electricity to start the ECU, making a battery unnecessary. This governor system allows the ECU to continuously monitor throttle opening and engine speed, electronically regulating throttle opening to maintain a constant, stable engine speed even under changing load conditions. Engine speed characteristics can be selected from among nine different settings, and maximum and idling rpm settings freely changed to suit power products fitted with the iGX440, making it readily adaptable to a variety of different applications.

 	·

Maintenance of constant engine speed

The ECU precisely controls engine speed to ensure a minimum of variations from the set speed fluctuations due to ambient temperature, engine break-in, or load.

·

DBW (Drive-By-Wire)

All control systems are electronically connected by wire. This makes operation easier and allows one-touch connection between the power products switch and the engine via a coupler connection for remote-controlled engine speed adjustment.

·

Engine control communications

Communication between the engine’s ECU and the power product’s ECU allows the power product to control engine speeds for improved operability.

·

Self-diagnostic function

A blinking LED provides error confirmation and facilitates easy troubleshooting diagnosis. Connecting the engine to a personal computer provides a more detailed diagnosis, allowing the operator to check the engine’s operating history (operating time, number of startups, warnings, faulty operation reports, etc.).

 	9

Power coil: an electrical coil installed on the engine to start the ECU.

 	Environmental performance

 	The iGX440 achieves emissions levels around 30% less1 than those stipulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Phase 2 emission standards and the California Air Resources Board Tier II emissions standards—the most stringent in the world. Its environmental performance is among the highest in the world. Fuel economy has also been improved over engines of same class6 by approximately 15%7, and noise reduced by approximately 4dB(A)8

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-58897; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2008-018]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change as Modified by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2
Thereto to Remove from Rule 7019 the Fees for Receiving Index Values

November 3, 2008.
    On March 12, 2008, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant
to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'')
\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to remove from
the Nasdaq rulebook references to the fees charged by Nasdaq for
receiving index values. On September 5, 2008, Nasdaq filed Amendment
No. 1 to the proposed rule change. On September 25, 2008, Nasdaq filed
Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change. The proposed rule change,
as amended, was published for comment in the Federal Register on
October 3, 2008.\3\ The Commission received no comments regarding the
proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment Nos. 1 and 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58666 (September 26,
2008), 73 FR 57725.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nasdaq distributes values for indexes and exchange traded funds
(``ETFs'') through an index dissemination service. Through this
service, Nasdaq calculates and disseminates the values of Nasdaq
indexes, such as the Nasdaq-100, and, on occasion, non-Nasdaq indexes.
Nasdaq also distributes information related to ETFs, including intra-
day asset values. All market participants may subscribe to the index
dissemination service.
    Nasdaq Rule 7019(b) sets forth the fees paid by distributors to
receive various Nasdaq Market Center data feeds. Nasdaq proposes to
delete the portion of Rule 7019(b) that relates to fees for the index
dissemination service.
    The Commission has carefully reviewed the proposed rule change and
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements
of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a
national securities exchange.\4\ The Commission believes that it is
reasonable for Nasdaq

to delete the portion of Rule 7019(b) that relates to fees for the
index dissemination service, as, based on representations made by
Nasdaq, the index dissemination service does not appear to be a
facility of a national securities exchange within the meaning of the
Act. Removing the provisions of Rule 7019(b) that relate to the index
dissemination service is thus consistent with the requirements of
section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ as the fees charged by Nasdaq in connection
with the index dissemination service do not fall within the scope of
the rules that must be filed with the Commission pursuant to section
19(b)(1) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If, however, Nasdaq were to propose to tie pricing for the index
dissemination service to exchange services, or otherwise modify the
index dissemination service such that it falls within the definition of
facility of an exchange in the Act,\8\ Nasdaq would have to file a
proposed rule change with the Commission. Similarly, Nasdaq would have
to file a proposed rule change with the Commission if it were to
condition a company's inclusion in an index on that company's listing
market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,
that the proposed rule change (SR-NASDAQ-2008-018), as modified by
Amendment Nos. 1 and 2, be, and it hereby is, approved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(IIJA) (Pub. L. 117-58) was enacted. Under the heading ``Department of
Transportation--Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration--Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and
Modernization Grant Program'' in title VIII of division J, the Natural
Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant Program
was established. The stated purpose of the program is for certain
utilities ``to repair, rehabilitate, or replace its natural gas
distribution pipeline system or portions thereof or to acquire
equipment to (1) reduce incidents and fatalities and (2) avoid economic
losses'' by providing grant opportunities to municipality and
community-owned utilities (not including for-profit entities). The
statutory requirements for PHMSA's implementation of the program are
mandatory, and PHMSA is expected to implement the program as swiftly as
possible to reduce incidents, fatalities, and adverse impacts to the
public and the environment, particularly in disadvantaged communities.
    The statutory requirements of the Natural Gas Distribution
Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant Program established a
180-day deadline for DOT to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO) with a subsequent 270-day deadline for making awards. In an
effort to meet the statutory deadlines, PHMSA published a Federal
Register notice on April 6, 2022; (87 FR 20031) notifying the public of
its plan to seek emergency OMB approval for this information
collection. During the 10-day comment period, PHMSA received one (1)
comment from Red Bay Water and Gas seeking a reimbursement grant for a
cast iron replacement project that began in October 2021 and is
projected to be completed by August 2022. PHMSA encourages all
potential applicants to submit an application via www.grants.gov in
response to the NOFO issued on March 24, 2022. The application closes
on July 25, 2022.
    On May 10, 2022, OMB granted PHMSA an emergency 6-month approval to
collect the required information. PHMSA is publishing this notice, in
compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, to give
stakeholders an opportunity to comment on PHMSA's plan to request OMB's
full three-year approval of this information collection.

II. Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization
Grant Program

    Solicitation for grants under the Natural Gas Distribution
Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant Program is voluntary. No
eligible entity is required to apply. To be eligible, however,
municipality and community-owned utilities must meet all the
requirements set forth in the law. Therefore, DOT must collect certain
information from applicants to determine eligibility and evaluate
applications. DOT must also verify the accuracy of grant requests from
approved applicants, in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other
laws and regulations governing Federal financial assistance programs,
including (but not limited to) the Anti-Deficiency Act, the Federal
Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, the Payment Integrity
Information Act of 2019, and 2 CFR part 200, among others. In
accordance with the IIJA, DOT must not award more than 12.5 percent of
the funds available under the Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure
Safety and Modernization Grant Program to a single municipality or
community-owned utility.
    DOT anticipates using grants.gov to collect the applicant
information for the NOFO which will include the following information:
     Legal name of the applicant (i.e., the legal name of the
business entity), as well as any other identities under which the
applicant may be doing business.
     Business address, telephone, and email contact information
for the applicant.
     Legal authority under which the applicant is established.
     Name and title of the authorized representative of the
applicant (who will attest to the required certifications). DOT may
also require the identity of external parties involved in preparation
of the application, including outside accountants, attorneys, or
auditors who may be assisting the business entity that is applying for
assistance under this program.
     The specific statutory criteria that the applicant meets
for eligibility under this program. The statute defines eligible
applicants to include municipality or community-owned utilities
excluding for-profit entities. Accordingly, DOT will require the
applicant to identify which of these categories they meet and to
describe how they meet it.
     Information regarding the possible environmental effects
caused by the proposed project(s) specific to each site. Further, PHMSA
will collect project information on (1) actions to comply with state
and Federal environmental regulations, environmental justice, and
historic preservation requirements, including the National
Environmental Policy Act, and (2) additional mitigation actions to
ensure that environmental impacts, such as those from excavation or the
use of heavy equipment, are minimal.
     Location where the applicant was legally established,
created, or organized to do business. This information and supporting
documentation will be required to demonstrate how the applicant meets
the statutory requirement to be ``established, created, or organized in
the United States or under the laws of the United States.''
     Other identification numbers, including but not limited
to, the Employer/Taxpayer Identification Number, Unique Entity
Identifier under

2 CFR part 25, etc. All applicants will be required to have pre-
registered with the System for Award Management at https://sam.gov/SAM/.
     Description of the applicant's business operations, in
sufficient detail to demonstrate how the applicant meets the statutory
requirement as a municipality or community-owned utility.
     Whether the applicant is currently engaged in any legal
proceeding that could jeopardize its ability to fulfill the legal
commitments required in statute as conditions for receiving funds under
the Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization
Grant Program. Examples of such proceedings could include, but are not
limited to, any process related to the United States Bankruptcy Code,
potential merger or acquisition discussions, or current litigation
against the applicant. The NOFO will request that applicants identify
any such issues at a high level and avoid including unnecessary details
in the application.
     Whether the applicant is delinquent on any debt to any
Federal agency, along with supporting details.
     A sworn certification as to the complete and accurate
nature of all information provided, including all supporting
documentation, subject to civil or criminal penalties. The specific
certification language will include: ``I certify under penalty of
perjury that the information and certifications provided in the
application and its attachments are true and correct. WARNING: Anyone
who knowingly submits a false claim or makes a false statement is
subject to criminal and/or civil penalties, including confinement for
up to 5 years, fines, and civil penalties. (18 U.S.C. 287, 1001; 31
U.S.C. 3729, 3802).''
    Award recipients will be required to provide supporting
documentation in sufficient detail to substantiate the actual costs,
specifically excluding any personally identifiable information for any
individual employees. Recipients will also be required to provide
additional information and certifications in support of disbursement
requests.

III. Summary of Impacted Collection

    Section 1320.8(d), Title 5, CFR, requires PHMSA to provide
interested members of the public and affected entities an opportunity
to comment on information collection and recordkeeping requests. This
notice identifies the proposed information collection request that
PHMSA will forward to OMB for approval.
    The following information is provided for this information
collection: (1) Title of the information collection; (2) OMB control
number; (3) Current expiration date; (4) Type of request; (5) Abstract
of the information collection activity; (6) Description of affected
public; (7) Estimate of total annual reporting and recordkeeping
burden; and (8) Frequency of collection.
    PHMSA will request a three-year approval for this information
collection. PHMSA requests comments on the following information:
    Title: Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and
Modernization Grant Program.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0641.
    Current Expiration Date: 11/30/2022.
    Type of Request: Extension of an approved information collection.
    Abstract: This information collection covers the collection of
applicant data from municipality and community-owned utilities that are
interested in applying to receive funds from the ``Natural Gas
Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant Program.''
Solicitation for grants under the Natural Gas Distribution
Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant Program is voluntary. No
eligible entity is required to apply. To be eligible, however,
municipality and community-owned utilities must meet all the
requirements set forth in the law. Therefore, DOT must collect certain
information from applicants to determine eligibility and evaluate
applications. DOT must also verify the accuracy of grant requests from
approved applicants, in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other
laws and regulations governing Federal financial assistance programs,
including (but not limited to) the Anti-Deficiency Act, the Federal
Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA), the Payment
Integrity Information Act of 2019, and 2 CFR part 200, among others.
This information collection also covers the collection of data from
grant recipients. PHMSA expects to receive approximately 200
applications from potential grantees. PHMSA estimates that it will take
the 200 applicants approximately 82 hours to compile and submit the
forms required to complete the application process for an annual burden
of 16,400 hours. PHMSA estimates that 100 grant recipients will, on 8
occasions over the course of one year, spend 2.5 hours, or 20 hours
annually, submitting post-award reports for an annual burden of 2,000
hours. Therefore, PHMSA estimates that there will be a total of 1,000
responses (200 applications + 800 post-award reports) for an aggregate
total annual burden for the information collection of 18,400 hours
(16,400 hours for applications + 2,000 hours for post-award reports).
    Affected Public: Municipality and Community-owned Utilities.
    Annual Burden:
    Estimated number of responses: 1,000.
    Estimated annual burden hours: 18,400.
    Frequency of Collection: One-time application, grant reports no
more than quarterly, to be followed by disbursement requests and
closeout.
    Comments are invited on:
    (a) The need for this information collection for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
    (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques;
and
    (e) Additional information that would be appropriate to collect to
inform the reduction in risk to people, property, and the environment
due to excavation damages.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 10, 2022, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008
(RSIA) requires the development and implementation of railroad safety
risk reduction programs. Risk reduction is a comprehensive, system-
oriented approach to safety that (1) determines an operation's level of
risk by identifying and analyzing applicable hazards and (2) involves
the development of acctions to mitigate that risk. Each RRP is
statutorily required to be supported by a risk analysis and an RRP
Plan, which must include a Technology Implementation Plan and a Fatigue
Management Plan. On February 27, 2015, FRA published an NPRM that would
require certain railroads to develop an RRP. FRA also held a public
hearing on August 27, 2015, to provide interested persons an
opportunity to provide oral comments on the proposal. See 80 FR 10950,
Feb. 27, 2015 and 80 FR 45500, Jul. 30, 2015.
    On September 29, 2015, the RSAC's RRP Working Group held a meeting
to review and discuss comments received in response to both the NPRM
and the public hearing. FRA established RSAC as a collaborative forum
to provide advice and recommendations to FRA on railroad safety
matters. The RSAC includes representatives from all of the agency's
major stakeholder groups, representing various railroad industry
perspectives. See the RSAC Web site for details on prior RSAC
activities and pending tasks at http://rsac.fra.dot.gov/. Please refer
to the notice published in the Federal Register on March 11, 1996 (61
FR 9740), for additional information about the RSAC.
    FRA is reopening the comment period for this proceeding to allow
interested parties to submit written comments in response to views or
information provided at the RRP Working Group meeting on September 29,
2015. Written comments must be received by October 21, 2015. Comments
received after that date will be considered to the extent possible
without incurring additional expense or delay.
