Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-10-
17, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200; A330-200
Freighter; and A330-300 series airplanes. AD 2017-10-17 required
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new fuel airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted
by a determination that new or more restrictive fuel airworthiness
limitations and tasks are necessary. This AD continues to require the
actions in AD 2017-10-17 and requires revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or
more restrictive fuel airworthiness limitations and tasks, as specified
in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is
incorporated by reference. This AD also expands the applicability to
include additional airplane models. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 21, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 21,
2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of June

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2017-10-17, Amendment 39-18891 (82 FR
24017, May 25, 2017) (AD 2017-10-17). AD 2017-10-17 applied to certain
Airbus SAS Model A330-223F and -243F airplanes; Model A330-201, -202, -
203, -223, and -243 airplanes; Model A330-301, -302, -303, -321, -322,
-323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes. AD 2017-10-17 required revising
the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
include new fuel airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2017-10-
17 to address the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks,
which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel
tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 10, 2022 (87 FR
35465). The NPRM was prompted by AD 2021-0252, dated November 17, 2021,
issued by EASA (referred to after this as the MCAI). The MCAI states
that new or more restrictive fuel airworthiness limitations and tasks
are necessary.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-0673.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to continue to require the actions in
AD 2017-10-17. The NPRM also proposed to require revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate
additional new or more restrictive fuel airworthiness limitations and
tasks, as specified in EASA AD 2021-0252. In addition, the NPRM
proposed to expand the applicability to include additional models. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from the Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) who supported the NPRM without change.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the
comment received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this
AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on this product. 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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0252 describes new or more restrictive fuel
airworthiness limitations and tasks.
    This AD also requires Airbus A330 Airworthiness Limitations Section
(ALS) Part 5--Fuel Airworthiness Limitations (FAL), Revision 01, dated
October 28, 2015, which the Director of the Federal Register approved
for incorporation by reference as of June 29, 2017 (82 FR 24017, May
25, 2017).
    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 138 airplanes of U.S.
registry.

The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2017-10-17 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate.
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new actions
to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-0329, OMB Control No. 3235-0371]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 15a-6

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 15a-6, (17 CFR 240.15a-
6), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information
to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
    Rule 15a-6 provides conditional exemptions from the requirement to
register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities
Exchange Act for foreign broker-dealers that engage in certain
specified activities involving U.S. persons. In particular, Rule 15a-
6(a)(3) provides an exemption from broker-dealer registration for
foreign broker-dealers that solicit and effect transactions with or for
U.S. institutional investors or major U.S. institutional investors
through a registered broker-dealer, provided that the U.S. broker-
dealer, among other things, obtains certain information about, and
consents to service of process from, the personnel of the foreign
broker-dealer involved in such transactions, and maintains certain
records in connection therewith.
    These requirements are intended to ensure (a) that the registered
broker-dealer will receive notice of the identity of, and has reviewed
the background of, foreign personnel who will contact U.S. investors,
(b) that the foreign broker-dealer and its personnel effectively may be
served with process in the event enforcement action is necessary, and
(c) that the Commission has ready access to information concerning
these persons and their U.S. securities activities. Commission staff
estimates that approximately 2,000 U.S. registered broker-dealers will
spend an average of two hours of clerical staff time and one hour of
managerial staff time per year obtaining the information required by
the rule, resulting in a total aggregate burden of 6,000 hours per year
for complying with the rule. Assuming an hourly cost of $72 \1\ for a
compliance clerk and $319 \2\ for a compliance manager, the resultant
total internal labor cost of compliance for the respondents is $926,000
per year (2,000 entities x ((2 hours/entity x $72/hour) + (1 hour per
entity x $319/hour)) = $926,000).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The hourly rate used for a compliance clerk was from SIFMA's
Office Salaries in the Securities Industry 2013, modified by
Commission staff to account for an 1,800 hour work-year and
multiplied by 2.93 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee
benefits and overhead.
    \2\ The hourly rate used for a compliance manager was from
SIFMA's Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities
Industry 2013, modified by Commission staff to account for an 1,800
hour work-year and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm
size, employee benefits and overhead.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to:
[email protected].

	The maximum application rate listed in the proposed label(s) for tuberous and corm vegetables are one application at 0.75 pounds per acre.  The maximum application rate listed in the proposed label(s) for succulent peas is one application at 0.50 pounds per acre.  These application rates do not exceed the rates used in previous Tier 1 drinking water assessment for use of bifenazate on hops, potatoes and strawberries, (D286171, October 09, 2003, appended below).  Because Tier 1 assessments are generic, and do not represent specific crops grown in select geographic locations, these new uses are not expected to produce EDWCs that significantly exceed those in the previous assessments.  While EFED recognizes that the use of more current versions of the Tier 1 models would produce slightly differing concentration values, the resulting changes are not expected to be substantially different.  Please inform EFED if further refinement of these estimated concentrations is desired.

This assessment includes the Tier I Drinking Water Estimated Concentrations (DWEC) and Estimated Environmental Concentrations (EECs) of bifenazate degradate, D1989, based on the use of bifenazate on strawberries (DP286171; two ground applications per season, 0.5 lb ai/A/application at 21-day apart), and on potatoes (DP293438/DP293439; one aerial application per season, 0.75 lb ai/A).  The previous document (“Tier I Aquatic Exposure Assessment of Bifenazate” TLNguyen/SOonnithan, dated November 21, 2001) only addressed hops and cotton at one single ground application rate of 0.75 lb ai/A per season.

The screening results reported in this assessment are based the assumption that bifenazate totally metabolizes and degrades to D1989.  However, based on the aerobic soil metabolism study of the parent bifenazate, D1989 was detected at a maximum of only 27% of total applied.  Please refer to the November 21, 2001 report for a detailed water resources assessment of D1989.

Table I lists the DWECs estimated by FIRST (surface water) and by SCI-GROW (ground water) for use in assessing human health exposure, and the EECs by GENEEC2 for use in terrestrial exposure.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend
the Fee Schedule

July 14, 2020.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on July 1, 2020, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``BZX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BZX'') is filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposed
rule change to amend the fee schedule. The text of the proposed rule
change is provided in Exhibit 5.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its fee schedule applicable to its
equities trading platform (``BZX Equities'') to add two additional
tiers to the supplemental incentive program of the Add Volume Tiers.
    The Exchange first notes that it operates in a highly-competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. More specifically, the
Exchange is only one of several equity venues to which market
participants may direct their order flow, and it represents a small
percentage of the overall market. The Exchange in particular operates a
``Maker-Taker'' model whereby it pays credits to members that provide
liquidity and assesses fees to those that remove liquidity. The
Exchange's fee schedule sets forth the standard rebates and rates
applied per share for orders that provide and remove liquidity,
respectively. Particularly, for orders priced at or above $1.00, the
Exchange provides a standard rebate of $0.0025 per share for orders
that add liquidity and assesses a fee of $0.0030 per share for orders
that remove liquidity. In response to the competitive environment, the
Exchange also offers tiered pricing which provides Members
opportunities to qualify for higher rebates or reduced fees where
certain volume criteria and thresholds are met. Tiered pricing provides
an incremental incentive for Members to strive for higher tier levels,
which provides increasingly higher benefits or discounts for satisfying
increasingly more stringent criteria.
    One of the tiered pricing models is set forth in Footnote 1 of the
fee schedule (Add Volume Tiers), which provides Members an opportunity
to qualify for an enhanced rebate on their orders that add liquidity on
the Exchange and meet certain criteria. For example, a set of criteria
is applied to displayed orders that add liquidity in Tape B securities
(i.e., orders that yield fee code B) \3\ called the supplemental
incentive program tier. The supplemental incentive program tier
provides an additional enhanced rebate of $0.0001 to Members that add
Tape B ADV of greater than or equal to 0.50% of the Tape B TCV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Fee code B is appended to displayed orders which add
liquidity to Tape B and is provided a rebate of $0.00250.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to add two additional tiers to the
supplemental incentive program tiers. A set of criteria for proposed
Supplemental Incentive Program--Tape A would be applied to displayed
orders that add liquidity in Tape A (i.e., orders that yield fee code V
\4\). A set of criteria for proposed Supplemental Incentive Program--
Tape C would be applied to displayed orders that add liquidity in Tape
C (i.e., orders that yield fee code Y \5\). The proposed Supplemental
Incentive Program--Tape A would provide an additional enhanced rebate
of $0.0001 to Members that add Tape A ADV of greater than or equal to
0.50% of Tape A TCV. Similarly, proposed Supplemental Incentive
Program--Tape C would provide an additional enhanced rebate of $0.0001
to Members that add Tape C ADV of greater than or equal to 0.50% of
Tape C TCV. Based on these proposed changes, the Exchange also proposes
to clarify which fee codes are applicable to each of the supplemental
incentive program tiers, and also to rename the existing supplemental
incentive program tier to Supplemental Incentive Program--Tape B.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Fee code V is appended to displayed orders which add
liquidity to Tape A and is provided a rebate of $0.00250.
    \5\ Fee code Y is appended to displayed orders which add
liquidity to Tape C and is provided a rebate of $0.00250.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed new tiers will encourage Members
to increase their Displayed liquidity in Tape A and C securities on the
Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\6\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\7\ in particular, as it is
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its Members, issuers and other persons
using its facilities. The Exchange operates in a highly-competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. The proposed rule changes
reflect a competitive pricing structure designed to incentivize market
participants to direct their order flow to the Exchange, which the
Exchange

believes would enhance market quality to the benefit of all Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes the proposed changes to the
supplemental incentive program are reasonable because they will provide
an additional opportunity for Members to receive an enhanced rebate.
The Exchange notes that volume-based incentives and discounts have been
widely adopted by exchanges,\8\ including the Exchange,\9\ and are
reasonable, equitable and non-discriminatory because they are open to
all members on an equal basis and provide additional benefits or
discounts that are reasonably related to the value to an exchange's
market quality. Additionally, as noted above, the Exchange operates in
highly competitive market. The Exchange is only one of several equity
venues to which market participants may direct their order flow, and it
represents a small percentage of the overall market. It is also only
one of several maker-taker exchanges. Competing equity exchanges offer
similar tiered pricing structures to that of the Exchange, including
schedules of rebates and fees that apply based upon members achieving
certain volume thresholds. These competing pricing schedules, moreover,
are presently comparable to those that the Exchange provides, including
the pricing of comparable tiers.\10\

Retail orders).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposal represents an equitable
allocation of rebates and is not unfairly discriminatory because all
Members are eligible for the proposed tiers and have a reasonable
opportunity to meet the tier's criteria. The Exchange also notes that
the proposal will not adversely impact any Member's pricing or their
ability to qualify for other rebate tiers. Rather, should a Member not
meet the proposed criteria, the Member will merely not receive an
enhanced rebate. Furthermore, the proposed rebate would apply to all
Members that meet the applicable required criteria.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes will
not [sic] impose any burden on intramarket or intermarket competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act. Rather, as discussed above, the Exchange believes that the
proposed changes would encourage the submission of additional liquidity
to a public exchange, thereby promoting market depth, price discovery
and transparency and enhancing order execution opportunities for all
Members. As a result, the Exchange believes that the proposed change
furthers the Commission's goal in adopting Regulation NMS of fostering
competition among orders, which promotes ``more efficient pricing of
individual stocks for all types of orders, large and small.'' \11\

    \11\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808, 70 FR 37495,
37498-99 (June 29, 2005) (S7-10-04) (Final Rule).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change does not impose any
burden on intramarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Particularly, the proposed
changes apply to all Members equally in that all Members are eligible
for the proposed tiers and will all receive the applicable proposed
rebate if such criteria is met. Additionally, the proposed change is
designed to attract additional order flow to the Exchange. The Exchange
believes that the proposed changes the supplemental incentive program
tiers will incentivize Members to grow their volume on the Exchange and
add volume in Tape A and C securities. Greater liquidity benefits all
market participants on the Exchange by providing more trading
opportunities and encourages Members to send orders, thereby
contributing to robust levels of liquidity, which benefits all market
participants.
    Next, the Exchange believes the proposed rule changes do not impose
any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As previously
discussed, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive market.
Members have numerous alternative venues that they may participate on
and direct their order flow, including 13 other equities exchanges and
off-exchange venues, including 32 alternative trading systems.
Additionally, the Exchange represents a small percentage of the overall
market. Based on publicly available information, no single equities
exchange has more than 20% of the market share.\12\ Therefore, no
exchange possesses significant pricing power in the execution of order
flow. Indeed, participants can readily choose to send their orders to
other exchange and off-exchange venues if they deem fee levels at those
other venues to be more favorable. Moreover, the Commission has
repeatedly expressed its preference for competition over regulatory
intervention in determining prices, products, and services in the
securities markets. Specifically, in Regulation NMS, the Commission
highlighted the importance of market forces in determining prices and
SRO revenues and, also, recognized that current regulation of the
market system ``has been remarkably successful in promoting market
competition in its broader forms that are most important to investors
and listed companies.'' \13\ The fact that this market is competitive
has also long been recognized by the courts. In NetCoalition v.
Securities and Exchange Commission, the D.C. Circuit stated as follows:
``[n]o one disputes that competition for order flow is `fierce.' . . .
As the SEC explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market system, buyers and
sellers of securities, and the broker-dealers that act as their order-
routing agents, have a wide range of choices of where to route orders
for execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to take its market share
percentages for granted' because `no exchange possesses a monopoly,
regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of order flow from broker
dealers'. . . .''.\14\ Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe its
proposed fee change imposes any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
