SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The Slings Standard (29 CFR 1910.184) specifies several paperwork
requirements, depending on the type of sling (paragraph (e) of the
Standard covers alloy steel chain slings; paragraph (f) covers wire
rope slings; paragraph (g) covers metal mesh slings; paragraph (h)
covers natural and synthetic fiber-rope slings; and paragraph (i)
covers synthetic web slings).
    The purpose of each of these requirements is to prevent workers
from using defective or deteriorated slings, thereby reducing their
risk of death or serious injury caused by sling failure during material
handling. The information on the identification tags, markings, and
coding's assist the employer in determining whether the sling can be
used for lifting. The sling inspections enable early detection of
faulty slings. The inspection and repair records provide employers with
the date of the last inspection and the type of repairs made. This
information provides assurance about the condition of the slings. These
records also provide the most efficient means for an OSHA compliance
officer to determine that an employer is complying with the Standard.
Proof-testing certificates give employers, workers, and OSHA compliance
officers assurance that the slings are safe to use.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the

agency's functions, including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is proposing to increase the existing burden hours estimate
specified by the Standard from 26,673 to 31,398.23 a difference of
4,725.23 hours. This increase in burden hours is a result of an
adjustment in the number of slings (from 1,525,000 to 1,847,854). The
agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice
and will include this summary in the request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Slings (29 CFR part 1910.184).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0223.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 1,847,854.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Total Responses: 381,582.
    Average Time per Response: Varies.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 31,398.23.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63603; File No. SR-Phlx-2010-180]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Revising
Floor Qualification Examination

December 22, 2010
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on December 10, 2010, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change, and an amendment
thereto on December 15, 2010, 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, as amended, from interested persons.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Amendment No. 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to revise its floor qualification
examination. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to delete obsolete
questions, revise outdated questions and add several new questions, as
described further below.

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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to improve the
Exchange's program for qualification of members by updating its floor
qualification examination. The Exchange has employed a written floor
qualification examination, which is required for persons seeking to act
as members on the trading floor,\4\ for many years. The examination,
which has not been substantively amended for many years,\5\ covers many
areas of the Exchange's rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Rules 620(a) and 901(c). See also Rule 1061 applicable
to Floor Brokers.
    \5\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 33304 (December 9,
1993), 58 FR 65613 (December 15, 1993)(SR-Phlx-92-34).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At this time, the Exchange proposes to update the exam in a variety
of ways. The exam would continue to be comprised of 100 questions,
randomly and electronically selected from a question bank of
approximately 148 questions. The floor qualification examination is
administered by the Exchange's membership department, and requires a
passing score of 70 during a 75 minute testing period.
    In terms of outdated questions, the Exchange proposes to delete
about 31 obsolete questions, mostly pertaining to: (i) The ``Wheel,''
an obsolete method of allocating trades among specialist and Registered
Options Traders (``ROTs''); (ii) ``AUTO-X'' functionality and
specialists manually conducting an opening and executing trades, which
have been replaced by the current trading system, Phlx XL II; and (iii)
the ``ten-up'' guarantees that preceded displayed size for options and
the application of the Quote Rule to options.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For current requirements, see e.g., Rules 1080 and 1082.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to eliminate the foreign currency
options qualification examination, because there have been no foreign
currency options participants for many years.\7\ In addition, the
Exchange no longer offers the foreign currency options products that
were the subject of this examination, but rather now offers a U.S.
dollar-settled foreign currency option,\8\ which trades pursuant to the
Exchange's options trading rules that are covered on the floor
qualification exam.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Exchange intends to separately delete ``foreign currency
options participant'' and related terms from its rules.
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54989 (December 21,
2006), 71 FR 78506 (December 29, 2006)(SR-Phlx-2006-34).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to modify approximately 17 questions
pertaining to electronic quoting, various changes in priority rules and
to reflect the existence of Options Exchange Officials (``OEOs''), who
replaced Floor Officials, as well as make various minor corrections
reflecting rule changes over time. Similarly, the Exchange proposes to
add approximately 46 new questions reflecting trade reporting, disputes
and OEO rulings, priority and trade allocation, spreads, openings,
halts and reopening, quoting obligations, order types, Floor Broker
obligations and Rule 703.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \9\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \10\ in particular, in that it is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system,
and, in general to protect investors and the public interest. In
addition, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(c)(3)(B) of the Act,\11\ which authorizes
exchanges to prescribe standards of training, experience and competence
for persons associated with exchange members, and gives exchanges the
authority to bar a natural person from becoming a member or a person
associated with a member, if the person does not meet the standards of
training, experience and competence prescribed in the rules of the
exchange. The Exchange believes that revising its floor member
qualification examination should better test the knowledge of its floor
members, and thereby enhance the Exchange's standards for training,
experience and competence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(c)(3)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(1) \13\ thereunder, the Exchange has designated this proposal as
one that constitutes a stated policy, practice or interpretation with
respect to the meaning, administration, or enforcement of an existing
rule of the SRO, and therefore has become effective.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-0486; Directorate Identifier 2015-NE-07-AD;
Amendment 39-18282; AD 2015-20-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Turboshaft
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) PT6B-37A turboshaft engines. This
AD requires initial and repetitive inspections until replacement of the
No. 10 bearing, and eventual replacement of the No. 9 bearing, both
located in the engine reduction gearbox (RGB) assembly. This AD was
prompted by reports of incorrect engine torque for PT6B-37A engines. We
are issuing this AD to prevent axial migration of the No. 10 bearing in
the engine RGB assembly, which could result in engine overtorque,
failure of the engine, in-flight shutdown, and loss of the rotorcraft.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 18, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of November 18,
2015.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact Pratt
& Whitney Canada Corp., 1000 Marie-Victorin, Longueuil, Quebec, Canada,
J4G 1A1; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; Web site: http://www.pwc.ca. You may view this service information at the FAA, Engine &
Propeller Directorate, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, MA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to the specified products. The
NPRM was published in the Federal Register on June 19, 2015 (80 FR
35260). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Five incidences of incorrect engine torque indication have been
reported for PT6B-37A engine installations on AW119MKII helicopters.
A lower than actual engine torque indication due to a faulty
indication system, particularly on a helicopter being operated at
max allowable torque (90 to 110%) range, may result in undetected
over-torque condition.
    Repeated over-torque conditions that are undetected and
consequently are not corrected in accordance with conditional
inspection requirements of original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICAs), may have a negative
impact on the operational safety of the aircraft. Investigation by
P&WC has determined the root cause of the subject torque indication
anomaly to be the axial migration of part number (P/N) 3310433-03
bearings at the engine torque sensing gear location.

    The axial migration of the No. 10 bearing is caused by non-optimal
bearing internal clearance. This migration may cause an erroneous
torque reading, possibly leading to engine overtorque and engine
failure. We are also requiring replacement of the No. 9 bearing since
it may also migrate, has the same part number as a No. 10 bearing, and
could be installed in the same location as a No. 10 bearing.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (80 FR 35260, June 19,
2015).

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    P&WC has issued Service Bulletin (SB) No. PT6B-72-39095, Revision
No. 3, dated December 29, 2014. The service information describes
procedures for inspecting affected bearings. This service information
is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to
it through their normal course of business or by the means identified
in the ADDRESSES section of this final rule.

Other Related Service Information.

    P&WC has also issued SB No. PT6B-72-39092, Revision No. 4, dated
December 29, 2014. The service information describes procedures for
removing affected bearings.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 83 engines installed on rotocraft
of U.S. registry. We estimate that it will take about 3 hours per
engine to comply with this AD. We also estimate that it would take
about 1 hour per engine to replace the affected bearings. The average
labor rate is $85 per hour. Required parts cost about $49,800 per
engine. Based on

these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be
$4,161,620.

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 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 this AD:
    (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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, and
    (4) 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.

Adoption of the Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
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]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2015-20-04 Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp.: Amendment 39-18282; Docket
No. FAA-2015-0486; Directorate Identifier 2015-NE-07-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD becomes effective November 18, 2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) PT6B-37A
turboshaft engines with engine serial numbers identified in Table 1
of paragraph 4, Appendix, in P&WC Service Bulletin (SB) No. PT6B-72-
39095, Revision No. 3, dated December 29, 2014.

(d) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of incorrect engine torque for
PT6B-37A turboshaft engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent axial
migration of the No. 10 bearing in the engine reduction gearbox
(RGB) assembly, which could lead to engine overtorque, failure of
the engine, in-flight shutdown, and loss of the rotorcraft.

(e) Actions and Compliance

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

(1) Initial Inspection

    (i) Within 50 flight hours (FHs) time in service after the
effective date of this AD, inspect the No. 10 bearing, part number
(P/N) 3310433-03, in the RGB assembly for axial movement. Use
paragraphs 3.A. to 3.C. in the Accomplishment Instructions in P&WC
SB No. PT6B-72-39095, Revision No. 3, dated December 29, 2014, to do
the inspection. If the bearing fails the inspection, replace the No.
9 and No. 10 bearings before further flight.

(2) Repetitive Inspection

    (i) For engines with 500 FHs or less total time since new (TSN),
repeat the inspection required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD every
100 FHs time since last inspection (TSLI) until 500 hours total TSN,
and, thereafter, every 200 FHs TSLI until removal.
    (ii) For engines with more than 500 FHs total TSN perform the
inspection required by paragraph (e)(1) to this AD within 200 FHs
TSLI, and, thereafter, every 200 FHs TSLI until removal.

(3) Removal and Replacement of Affected Bearings

    (i) For engine serial numbers (S/Ns) PCE-PU0192, PU0193, PU0201,
PU0208, PU0209, PU0212, PU0213, PU0214, PU0216, PU0219, and PU0220,
remove the No. 9 and No. 10 bearings, P/N 3310433-03, within 450 FHs
or 42 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs
first, and replace with parts eligible for installation.
    (ii) For all engine S/Ns identified in Applicability paragraph
(c) of this AD, other than those listed in paragraph (e)(3)(i) of
this AD, remove the No. 9 and No. 10 bearings, P/N 3310433-03, and
replace with parts eligible for installation within 42 months after
the effective date of this AD.
    (iii) Replacement of the No. 9 and No. 10 bearing, P/N 3310433-
03, with the No. 9 and No. 10 bearing, P/N 3310233-03 or P/N
3310533-03, is terminating action for this AD.

(f) Reporting Requirements

    You do not have to contact your Local Field Service
Representative as discussed in paragraph 3.C.(3) of P&WC SB No.
PT6B-72-39095, Revision No. 3, dated December 29, 2014.

(g) Credit for Previous Action

    If you previously replaced the No. 9 and No. 10 bearings in
accordance with the instructions contained in P&WC SB No. PT6B-72-
39092, Revision No. 2, dated August 8, 2014, or earlier revisions,
then you have complied with this AD.
