Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace, Laurel, MS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class E airspace at Laurel, MS,
as the Tallahala Non-Directional Radio Beacon (NDB) has been
decommissioned, requiring airspace reconfiguration at Hesler-Noble
Field Airport. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
This action also would update the geographic coordinates of the
airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs,

describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority. This
rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle
VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is
charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace
necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it
would amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Hesler-Noble Field Airport, Laurel, MS.

Comments Invited

    Interested persons are invited to comment on this rule by
submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as they may desire.
Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing reasoned
regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are specifically invited
on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and
energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted
in triplicate to the address listed above. You may also submit comments
through the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov.
    Persons wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments on
this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed stamped

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface within a 8.4-mile radius
(increased from 7.5 miles) of Hesler-Noble Field Airport, due to the
decommissioning of the Tallahala NDB and cancellation of the NDB
approach, and for continued safety and management of IFR operations at
the airport. In addition, the FAA proposes to remove the 5-mile wide
segment from the Tallahala NDB extending from the current 7.5-mile
radius to 7 miles northwest of the NDB (excluding that airspace within
the Hattiesburg, MS Class E airspace area). The geographic coordinates
of the airport would be adjusted to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Implementation Plan Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Georgia State
Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the Georgia Environmental
Protection Division on September 26, 2006, with a clarifying revision
submitted on November 6, 2006. The proposed revisions include multiple
modifications to Georgia's Air Quality Rules found at Chapter 391-3-1.
These revisions are part of Georgia's strategy to meet the national
ambient air quality standards. EPA is proposing to approve Georgia's
SIP revisions pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
    EPA is not acting on revisions to rules 391-3-1-.01(qqqq), 391-3-
1-.02(2)(zz), 391-3-1-.02(2)(mmm), 391-3-1-.02(6)(a), 391-3-
1-.03(6)(g), and 391-3-1-.03(6)(i) at this time. EPA is also not acting
on revisions to rule 391-3-1-02(2)(ooo), as Georgia has submitted a
revised version of the rule. Additionally, we are not acting on several
revisions to the September 26, 2006, SIP submittal, that are not part
of the federally approved SIP.

further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document.
Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at
this time.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-73314; File No. SR-BOX-2014-23]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX Options Exchange LLC; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Extend the Pilot Programs That Permit the Exchange To Have No Minimum
Size Requirement for Orders Entered Into the PIP (``PIP Pilot
Program'') and COPIP (``COPIP Pilot Program'') Until December 18, 2014

October 7, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 3, 2014, BOX Options Exchange LLC (``Exchange'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed
rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been
prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to extend the pilot programs that permit the
Exchange to have no minimum size requirement for orders entered into
the PIP (``PIP Pilot Program'') and COPIP (``COPIP Pilot Program'').
The text of the proposed rule change is available from the principal
office of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference Room and
also on the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://boxexchange.com.

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 self-regulatory organization
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 self-regulatory organization
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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to extend the PIP and
COPIP Pilot Programs for two additional months. The PIP and COPIP Pilot
Programs allow the Exchange to have no minimum size requirement for
orders entered into the PIP \3\ and the COPIP.\4\ The Exchange has
committed to provide certain data to the Commission during the PIP and
COPIP Pilot Programs.\5\ The proposed rule change retains the text of
IM-7150-1 to Rule 7150 and IM-7245-1 to Rule 7245; and seeks to extend
the operation of the PIP and COPIP Pilot Programs until December 18,
2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The PIP Pilot Program is currently set to expire on October
18, 2014. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 66871 (April 27,
2012) 77 FR 26323 (May 3, 2012) (File No. 10-206, In the Matter of
the Application of BOX Options Exchange LLC for Registration as a
National Securities Exchange Findings, Opinion, and Order of the
Commission), 67255 (June 26, 2012) 77 FR 39315 (July 2, 2013) (SR-
BOX-2012-009) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposal To Extend a Pilot Program That Permits BOX to Have No
Minimum Size Requirement for Orders Entered Into the Price
Improvement Period), 69846 (June 25, 2013) 78 FR 39365 (July 1,
2013) (SR-BOX-2013-33) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness
of a Proposal To Extend a Pilot Program That Permits BOX to Have No
Minimum Size Requirement for Orders Entered Into the Price
Improvement Period), and 72545 (July 7, 2014) 79 FR 40182 (July 11,
2014) (SR-BOX-2014-19) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness
of a Proposed Rule Change to amend Interpretive Material to Rule
7150 (Price Improvement Period ``PIP'') and Interpretive Material to
Rule 7245 (Complex Order Price Improvement Period ``COPIP'').
    \4\ The COPIP Pilot Program is currently set to expire on
October 18, 2014. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 71148
(December 19, 2013) 78 FR 78437 (December 26, 2013) (Notice of
Filing of Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 and Order Granting Accelerated
Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment Nos. 1
and 2, to Permit Complex Orders to Participate in Price Improvement
Periods) and 72545 (July 7, 2014) 79 FR 40182 (July 11, 2014) (SR-
BOX-2014-19) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change to amend Interpretive Material to Rule 7150
(Price Improvement Period ``PIP'') and Interpretive Material to Rule
7245 (Complex Order Price Improvement Period ``COPIP'').
    \5\ See supra note 3 at 26334 and note 4 at 78441.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that the PIP and COPIP Pilot Programs permit
Participants to trade with their customer orders that are less than 50
contracts. In particular, any order entered into the PIP is guaranteed
an execution at the end of the auction at a price at least equal to the
national best bid or offer. Any order entered into the COPIP is
guaranteed an execution at the end of the auction at a price at least
equal to or better than the cNBBO,\6\ cBBO \7\ and BBO on the Complex
Order Book for the Strategy at the time of commencement. In further
support of this proposed rule change, the Exchange will submit to the
Commission monthly a PIP Pilot Program Report and a COPIP Pilot Program
Report, offering detailed data from, and analysis of, the PIP Pilot
Program and COPIP Pilot Program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As defined in BOX Rule 7240(a)(3), the term ``cNBBO'' means
the best net bid and offer price for a Complex Order Strategy based
on the NBBO for the individual options components of such Strategy.
    \7\ As defined in BOX Rule 7240(a)(1), the term ``cBBO'' means
the best net bid and offer price for a Complex Order Strategy based
on the BBO on the BOX Book for the individual options components of
such Strategy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that, by extending the expiration of the PIP
and COPIP Pilot Programs, the proposed rule change will allow for
further analysis of the PIP and COPIP Pilot Programs and a
determination of how the PIP and COPIP Pilot Programs shall be
structured in the future.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\8\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in particular, in that it is designed to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
The Exchange believes that the data demonstrates that there is
sufficient investor interest and demand to extend the PIP and COPIP
Pilot Programs for an additional two months. The Exchange represents
that the PIP and COPIP Pilot Programs are designed to create tighter
markets and ensure that each order receives the best possible price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Specifically, the Exchange
believes that, by extending the expiration of the PIP and COPIP Pilot
Programs, the proposed rule change will allow for further analysis of
the PIP and COPIP Pilot Programs and a determination of how the PIP and

COPIP Pilot Programs shall be structured in the future. In doing so,
the proposed rule change will also serve to promote regulatory clarity
and consistency, thereby reducing burdens on the marketplace and
facilitating investor protection.

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

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

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ thereunder
because the proposal does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection
of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden
on competition; and (iii) by its terms, become operative for 30 days
from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to
give the Commission written notice of the Exchange's intent to file
the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of
the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the
date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as
designated by the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this
requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \13\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay period so the pilot
programs can continue without interruption. The Commission believes
that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest, as it will allow the
pilot programs to continue uninterrupted, thereby avoiding any
potential investor confusion that could result from a temporary
interruption in the pilot programs. Further, the Commission notes that,
because the filing was submitted for immediate effectiveness on October
3, 2014, the fact that the current rule provision does not expire until
October 18, 2013 will afford interested parties the opportunity to
comment on the proposal before the Exchange requires it to become
operative. For these reasons, the Commission believes that waiving the
30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest, and designates the proposed rule change to be
operative on October 18, 2014.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

14 CFR Part 25

[Docket No. FAA-2012-1292; Notice No. 25-12-17-SC]

Special Conditions: Embraer S.A., Model EMB-550 Airplanes;
Electrical/Electronic Equipment Bay Fire Detection and Smoke
Penetration

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed special conditions.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes special conditions for the Embraer S.A.
Model EMB-550 airplane. This airplane will have novel or unusual design
features, specifically distributed electrical and electronic equipment
bays in pressurized areas of the airplane. Older transport category
airplane electrical/electronic equipment bay installations are located
in the lower lobe where the flightcrew could determine the origin of
smoke or fire by a straightforward airplane flight manual procedure. In
distributed electrical/electronic bay installations it is not as
straightforward. The FAA has no requirement for smoke and/or fire
detection in the electrical/electronic equipment bays. To ensure
effective mitigation of fires, the FAA proposes these special
conditions. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain
adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These
proposed special conditions contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of
safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness
standards.

Background

    On May 14, 2009, Embraer S.A. applied for a type certificate for
their new Model EMB-550 airplane. The Model EMB-550 airplane is the
first of a new family of jet airplanes designed for corporate flight,
fractional, charter, and private owner operations. The aircraft has a
conventional configuration with a low wing and T-tail empennage. The
primary structure is metal with composite empennage and control
surfaces. The Model EMB-550 airplane is designed for 8 passengers, with
a maximum of 12 passengers. It is equipped with two Honeywell HTF7500-E
medium bypass ratio turbofan engines mounted on aft fuselage pylons.
Each engine produces approximately 6,540 pounds of thrust for normal
takeoff. The primary flight controls consist of hydraulically powered
fly-by-wire elevators, aileron and rudder, controlled by the pilot or
copilot sidestick.
    The Model EMB-550 airplane has electrical/electronic equipment bays
distributed throughout the airplane; three of them are in the
pressurized area. The current airworthiness requirements do not contain
adequate or appropriate safety standards regarding smoke/fire detection
and protection against penetration of hazardous quantities of smoke
from equipment bays into occupied areas of the airplane for this type
of airplane configuration.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.17, Embraer S.A. must show that the Model EMB-550 airplane
meets the applicable provisions of part 25, as amended by Amendments
25-1 through 25-127 thereto.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Model EMB-550 airplane because of
a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are

prescribed under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar
novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also
apply to the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Model EMB-550 airplane must comply with the fuel vent
and exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise
certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36 and the FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under Sec.  611 of Public Law 92-574,
the ``Noise Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type-
certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Model EMB-550 airplane will incorporate the following novel or
unusual design features: The Model EMB-550 airplane has distributed
electrical and electronic equipment bays that were not envisioned at
the time this rule was made.

Discussion

    In general, smoke and fire detection systems are designed to:
     Automatically shut off power to the affected equipment,
     If necessary, reconfigure the environmental control
systems to control any smoke resulting from a fire or overheat
condition, and
     Alert the flightcrew to the existence of the fire.
    Most airplanes certified under part 25 have one or two electrical
equipment bays located in the lower lobe, adjacent to pressure
regulator/outflow valves or vents. If a fire occurs in an electrical
equipment bay, any smoke is drawn toward the outflow valves or vents
and is discharged from the airplane without entering occupied areas. In
the event of a smoke or fire in one of the electrical equipment bays,
the procedures to isolate the bay on some airplanes requires the
flightcrew to use trial and error to determine whether or not the
source is in a particular electrical equipment bay. However, with this
approach, the flightcrew does not know where the fire or smoke is
because it is difficult to identify the source, especially during
changes of phases of flight (e.g., climbing or descending) or system
transients (e.g., changes in the airflow from the environmental control
system).
    This trial-and-error approach may be acceptable for aircraft with
no more than two electrical equipment bays, both located in the lower
lobe. In this case, a fire in an electrical equipment bay is in either
one bay or the other. However, for an aircraft with three or more
electrical equipment bays, in the time it takes to determine the source
of smoke, the fire could spread, generating even more smoke and damage.
    In the Model EMB-550 airplane, electrical equipment bays are
distributed throughout the airplane in the pressurized compartment.
Section 25.857 requires that cargo compartments have means to prevent
hazardous quantities of smoke or fire extinguishing agent from
penetrating into occupied areas of the airplane. However, the
applicable airworthiness regulations do not address the following:
     Preventing hazardous quantities of smoke or extinguishing
agent originating from the electrical equipment bays from penetrating
into occupied areas of the airplane; or
     Installing smoke or fire detectors in electrical equipment
bays.
    The FAA determined that the Model EMB-550 needs a means to detect
smoke or fire in each electrical equipment bay that is located in the
pressurized cabin. This means must indicate in which bay the smoke or
fire occurs, and ensure that the flightcrew can depower it. For
situations in which it may be impossible for the flightcrew to shut
down all the equipment in the bay due to the use of critical or
essential equipment located in it, Embraer S.A. shall conduct an
analysis to:
     Specify the criteria for shutting down specific electrical
equipment in the electrical equipment bay that can be shut down,
     Demonstrate that remaining electrical equipment is
protected against fire propagation, such as thermal protection, fire
containment, and other systems as addressed in Advisory Circular 25-16,
Electrical Fault and Fire Prevention and Protection, dated April 5,
1991.
    The criteria developed for aircraft designs that incorporate
distributed electrical/electronic equipment bays are based upon
existing smoke/fire detection and smoke penetration guidance and
acceptable past practices. Sections 25.831(b), 25.831(c), 25.831(d),
and 25.869(a) provide the general requirements that apply to
electrical/electronic equipment smoke penetration and evacuation.
Flight tests are conducted to demonstrate compliance; however, the
amount of smoke generated and flight test conditions have been highly
variable.
    The special conditions below require that there must be a means to
detect smoke or fire in each electrical/electronic equipment bay
located in the pressurized compartment. They also include requirements
to prevent propagation of hazardous quantities of smoke or fire
extinguishing agent throughout the passenger cabin.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Model EMB-550 airplane. Should Embraer S.A. apply at a later date for a
change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating
the same novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would
apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on one model of airplanes. It is not a rule of general applicability.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Proposed Special Conditions

    Accordingly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes the
following special conditions as part of the type certification basis
for Embraer S.A. Model EMB-550 airplanes.
    1. Requirements to prevent propagation of smoke that originates in
electrical equipment bays from entering the passenger cabin and flight
deck:
    a. To prevent such propagation, means to prevent hazardous
quantities of smoke originating from the electrical equipment bays from
incapacitating passengers and crew must be demonstrated. The
demonstrations must include flight tests, and shall be conducted for
all dispatchable system configurations.
    b. A small quantity of smoke may enter an occupied area only under
the following conditions:
    i. The smoke enters occupied areas during system transients from
below the deck or main deck sources. No sustained smoke penetration
beyond that from environmental control system transients is permitted,
    ii. Penetration of the small quantity of smoke is a dynamic event,
involving either dissipation or mobility.

Dissipation is rapid dilution of the smoke by ventilation air. Mobility
is rapid movement of the smoke into and out of the occupied area. In no
case should a light haze indicative of stagnant airflow form, as this
indicates that the ventilation system is failing to meet the
requirements of 14 CFR 25.831,
    iii. The smoke from a source below the main deck must not rise
above armrest height on the main deck, and
    iv. The smoke from a source in the main deck must dissipate rapidly
via dilution with fresh air and be evacuated from the airplane. The
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) must include procedures to evacuate smoke
from the occupied areas. To demonstrate that the quantity of smoke is
small, a flight test must be conducted which simulates the emergency
procedures used in the event of a fire during flight, including the use
of VMO/MMO descent profiles and a simulated
landing, if such conditions are specified in the emergency procedure.
    2. Requirement for smoke or fire detection in electrical/electronic
equipment bays: A smoke or fire detection system compliant with
Sec. Sec.  25.855(a), (b), (c), and (d); and Sec.  25.858 must be
provided for each electrical/electronic equipment bay in the
pressurized cabin. Each system must provide a visual indication to the
flight deck within one minute after the start of a fire. Airplane
flight tests must be conducted to show compliance with these
requirements, and the performance of the detectors must be shown in
accordance with Advisory Circular 25-9A, Smoke Detection, Penetration,
and Evacuation Tests and Related Flight Manual Emergency Procedures, or
other means acceptable to the FAA.
    3. Requirement for AFM procedures safety analysis: It shall be
demonstrated that the AFM procedures to shut down electrical/electronic
equipment bays, or part of them, in case of smoke/fire detection, do
not compromise the safe operation of the aircraft. If a procedure
requests to shut down only part of the equipment, the remaining
equipment shall be incorporated with safety precautions against fire
propagation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-year period if it
finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 27 individuals who have requested a renewal
of their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 27 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:
    Thomas E. Anderson, Garry A. Baker, Bruce W. Barrett, Richard D.
Becotte, Wayne Burnett, Theodore W. Cozat, Alex G. Dlugolenski, Karen
Y. Duvall, Nigel L. Farmer, Gordon R. Fritz, John A. Graham, Jimmy D.
Gregory, Donald W. Holt, Larry Lentz, Boleslaw Makowski, Joseph W.
Meacham, Charles M. Moore, Gary T. Murray, Anthony D. Ovitt, John R.
Parsons, III, Martin Postma, Steven S. Reinsvold, Michael J. Richard,
Glenn T. Riley, George E. Todd, Gary S. Warren, Bradley A. Weiser.
    These exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual has a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and
(b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is otherwise
physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each individual
provides a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the
medical examiner at the time of the annual medical examination; and (3)
that each individual provides a copy of the annual medical
certification to the employer for retention in the driver's
qualification file and retain a copy of the certification on his/her
person while driving for presentation to a duly authorized Federal,
State, or local enforcement official. Each exemption will be valid for
two years unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be
rescinded if: (1) The person fails to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower
level of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315.

Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 27 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (64 FR 54948; 65 FR 159; 66 FR 66969; 68 FR 69432; 71 FR
644; 72 FR 71995; 68 FR 37197; 68 FR 48987; 70 FR 57353; 70 FR 72689;
72 FR 71993; 72 FR 58362; 72 FR 67344; 72 FR 67340; 73 FR 1395) Each of
these 27 applicants has requested renewal of the exemption and has
submitted evidence showing that the vision in the better eye continues
to meet the standard specified at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and that the
vision impairment is stable. In addition, a review of each record of
safety while driving with the respective vision deficiencies over the
past two years indicates each applicant continues to meet the vision
exemption standards. These factors provide an adequate basis for
predicting each driver's ability to continue to drive safely in
interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the
exemption for each renewal applicant for a period of two years is
likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by January 11, 2010.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 27 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was based on the merits of each
case and only after careful consideration of the comments received to
its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all of these drivers, are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA.
    The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted and, if
safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption would
not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the exemption of a
driver.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would expand the availability of RNAV in the eastern
United States to improve the efficiency of the NAS by lessening the
dependency on ground-based navigation.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views,

or arguments as they may desire. Comments that provide the factual
basis supporting the views and suggestions presented are particularly
helpful in developing reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal.
Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory,
aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related aspects of
the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2019-0339; Airspace Docket No. 18-AEA-21 and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to FAA Docket No. FAA-2019-0339; Airspace Docket No. 18-AEA-21.'' The

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11C
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish seven new low altitude RNAV
routes, designated T-303, T-307, T-320, T-324, T-335, T-356, and T-358,
in the northeastern United States. The purpose of the routes is to
expand the availability of RNAV and improve the efficiency of the NAS
by reducing the dependency on ground-based navigation systems. The
following is a general description of the proposed routes.
    T-303: T-303 would extend between the IRAKE, NC, fix (22 NM
northeast of the Kinston, NC (ISO), VORTAC), and the WHITE, NJ, fix (14
NM northeast of the Coyle, NJ, (CYN) VORTAC).
    T-307: T-307 would extend between the PEARS, NC, fix (43 NM
northeast of the New Bern, NC, (EWN) VOR/DME), and the SHERL, NY, fix
(37 NM southeast of the Kennedy, NY, (JFK) VOR/DME).
    T-320: T-320 would extend between the NUTTS, VA, fix (46 NM
northeast of the South Boston, VA, (SBV) VORTAC) and the WHITE, NJ, fix
(14 NM northeast of the Coyle, NJ, (CYN) VORTAC).
    T-324: T-324 would extend between the COLIN, VA, fix (37 NM south
of the Nottingham, MD, (OTT) VORTAC), and the ZIGGI, NJ, fix (37 NM
southwest of the Kennedy, NY, (JFK) VOR/DME).
    T-335: T-335 would extend between the CHEYF, MD, WP (near the Snow
Hill, MD, (SWL) VORTAC), and the Pottstown, PA, (PTW) VORTAC.
    T-356: T-356 would extend between the WOOLY, MD fix (38 NM east of
the Martinsburg, WV, (MRB) VORTAC) eastward to the SWANN, MD, fix; then
northeastward to the ELUDE, MD, fix (9 NM west of the Dupont, DE, (DQO)
VORTAC).
    T-358: T-358 would extend between the Martinsburg, WV, (MRB)
VORTAC, and the AVALO, NJ, fix (10 NM south of the Atlantic City, NJ,
(ACY) VORTAC).
    The full route descriptions are listed in ``The Proposed
Amendment'' section, below.
    United States Area Navigation routes are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order 7400.2C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The RNAV routes listed in the document would be subsequently published
in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13885-000]

City of Tacoma, Washington; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions to
Intervene

    On November 22, 2010, the City of Tacoma, Washington (Tacoma),
filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f)
of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of
the Tacoma Water Supply Hydroelectric Project (Tacoma Project or
project) to be located on the existing Tacoma Water Transmission
System, in Pierce County, Washington.\1\ The sole

purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit
holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A
preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any
land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners' express permission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Tacoma filed a competing preliminary permit application in
response to the notice for a preliminary permit application for the
same site from Energy Exchange, Inc. for Project No. 13729. Energy
Exchange, Inc. withdrew its application on January 6, 2011, which
became effective January 21, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed project has four sites that are being evaluated for
potential hydropower installations, and would consist of the following:

Site 1--Pipeline 1 into McMillin Reservoir Alternative

    (1) A new powerhouse, located at McMillan Reservoir, containing two
turbine/generating units with a total installed capacity of 500
kilowatts (kW); and (2) a station transformer at the powerhouse to
connect the turbine output to a 13.8-kilovolt (kV) distribution line
owned by Tacoma Power. Water would enter the powerhouse from the
existing Pipeline 1, and exit the powerhouse directly into McMillan
Reservoir. The project would produce an estimated average annual
generation of about 2,400 megawatt-hours (MWh).

Site 2--Second Supply Pipeline into P4

    (1) A new powerhouse, located at the Portland Avenue Reservoir,
containing two turbine/generating units with a total installed capacity
of 500 kW; and (2) a station transformer at the powerhouse to connect
the turbine output to a 13.8-kV distribution line owned by Tacoma
Power. Water would enter the powerhouse from the second supply pipeline
and exit the powerhouse into either Pipeline 4 or into the Portland
Avenue Reservoir. The project would produce an estimated average annual
generation of about 2,400 MWh.

Site 3--Second Supply Pipeline at the Flow Control Facility

    (1) A new powerhouse, located at the 112th Street Flow Control
Facility site, containing two turbine/generating units with a total
installed capacity of 1,200 kW; and (2) a station transformer at the
powerhouse to connect the turbine output to a 13.8-kV distribution line
owned by Tacoma Power. Water would enter the powerhouse from the second
supply pipeline, and exit the powerhouse back into the second supply
pipeline. The project would produce an estimated average annual
generation of about 5,100 MWh.

Site 4--North Fork Well Field

    (1) A new powerhouse, located at the Green River headworks at the
lower end of the Green River Watershed, containing two turbine/
generating units with a total installed capacity of 800 kW; and (2) a
station transformer at the powerhouse to connect the turbine output to
a 13.8-kV distribution line owned by Tacoma Power. Water would enter
the powerhouse from the existing pipeline that brings water to the
headworks from the North Field wells, and exit the powerhouse back into
the existing Headworks Reservoir. The project would produce an
estimated average annual generation of about 3,300 MWh.
    The combined generating capacity of all four sites would be 3,000
kW and the total estimated average annual generation would be 13,200
MWh.
