SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-96854; File No. SR-CboeEDGX-2023-006]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Amend the Exchange's Fees Schedule Concerning Membership Fees and
Market Maker Appointment Fees

February 9, 2023.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act''),\2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that on January 27, 2023, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the
``Exchange'' or ``EDGX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``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 change from interested persons.

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

    Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``EDGX Options'')
proposes to amend its Fees 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/options/regulation/rule_filings/edgx/), 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 adopt new Membership fees.\4\ First, the
Exchange proposes to establish a monthly Participant Fee for Options
Members of the Exchange of $500. Additionally, EDGX Options Market
Makers would be assessed a Market Maker Participant Fee of $750 per
month (i.e., Market Makers would pay a monthly fee of $1,250). The
Participant Fees are non-refundable. If a firm becomes a Member during
a calendar month after the first trading day of the month, the
participant fee for the Member for that calendar month will be prorated
based on the remaining trading days in the calendar month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange initially filed the proposed fee changes on
January 3, 2023 (SR-CboeEDGX-2023-003). On January 27, 2023, the
Exchange withdrew that filing and submitted this proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to adopt fees relating to Market Maker
appointments (set forth in the ``Market Maker Appointments Sliding
Scale'') which will be based on an Appointment Unit Tier schedule that
assigns an appointment weight to each class within a tier.
Particularly, EDGX Options Market Makers must select class appointments
in the classes they seek to make markets electronically.\5\ As
proposed, a Market Maker will be charged for one or more ``Appointment
Units'' (which will scale from 1 ``unit'' to more than 6 ``units''),
depending on which classes they select appointments in. All classes
will be placed within a specific tier according to trading volume
statistics (excluding the proposed AA Tier), and assigned an
``appointment weight'' depending upon its tier location as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See EDGX Options Rule 22.3(a).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Appointment
    Appointment unit tier              Option class             weight
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AA..........................  IWM..........................          .50
                              SPY..........................          .50
                              VXX..........................         .100
A *.........................  Classes 1-60.................         .100
B *.........................  Classes 61-120...............         .060
C *.........................  Classes 121-345..............         .040
D *.........................  Classes 346-570..............         .025
E *.........................  Classes 571-999..............         .015
F *.........................  All Remaining Classes........         .001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Excludes Tier AA.

    The Exchange will rebalance the above tiers (excluding the ``AA''
tier above) once each calendar quarter, which may result in additions
or deletions to their composition and announces such rebalances
pursuant to Exchange Rule 16.3 at least 10 business days before the
rebalance takes effect. The proposed appointment unit tier assignment
and rebalances are based on national average daily volume. When a class
changes tiers, it will be assigned the appointment unit of that tier.
Appointment weights for each assigned class will be summed for each
Market Maker ID used to trade to obtain the total appointment units. If
the sum of appointments is a fractional amount, the total will be
rounded up to the next highest whole Appointment Unit. Total quantity
will be determined by the highest quantity used at any point during the
month. The following lists the proposed progressive monthly fees for
Appointment Units: \6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For example, if a Market Maker's total appointment units
amount to 2.5 units, the Market Maker will be assessed a total
monthly appointment fee of $850 (1 appointment unit at $0, 1
appointment unit at $500 and 1 appointment unit at $350).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Monthly
                      Appointment units                           fee
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1............................................................         $0
2............................................................        500
3-5..........................................................        350
>6...........................................................        100
------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\7\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \8\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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 of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \9\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.

    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that there is value in becoming a Member of
the Exchange and that the proposed Participant Fees are reasonable. The

proposed fees are also significantly lower than the membership fees
imposed by several other options exchanges that charge such fees.\10\
They are also comparable to fees assessed by the Exchange's affiliated
options exchange Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (``BZX Options'').\11\ Other
national securities exchanges also recently adopted participant fees
for their exchange members.\12\ The Exchange also historically has not,
currently does not, nor does it presently contemplate charging any
application fees for Membership nor so-called ``headcount fees,''
(e.g., fees charged for each Form U4 filed for registration of a
representative or a principal or the transfer or re-licensing of such
personnel,\13\) further highlighting the reasonableness of the proposed
Participant Fees. Furthermore, EDGX Options Members have not been
assessed any membership-related fees since the platform became
available over 7 years ago. Newly-opened exchanges often charge no fees
for certain services such as membership, in order to attract order flow
to an exchange, and later amend their fees for those services.\14\
Allowing newly-opened exchanges time to build and sustain market share
before charging non-transactional fees encourages market entry and
promotes competition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See e.g., PHLX Section 8A, Permit and Registration Fees,
which generally assesses monthly Permit Fees between $4,000 and
$6,000. See also, BOX Options Fee Schedule, Section IX Participant
Fees, which assesses non-Market Makers a Participant Fee of $1,500
per month and assesses Market Maker's Trading Permit fees between
$4,000 and $10,000 per month; NYSE American Options Fees Schedule,
Section III(A) Monthly ATP Fees and NYSE Arca Options Fees and
Charges, OTP Trading Participant Rights, which assesses a monthly
permit (``ATP'') fee of $1,000 for Clearing Members and Order Floor
Providers, and a monthly ATP fees up to $8,000 for Market-Makers;
and MIAX Options Fee Schedule, Section 3, Membership Fees, which
assesses an Electronic Exchange Members Trading Permit fee of $1,500
per month and a Market Maker Trading Permit Fee between $7,000 and
$22,000 per month.
    \11\ See Cboe BZX Options Fee Schedule, Membership Fees, which
assesses BZX Options Members a monthly fee between $500 and $1,000.
    \12\ See e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 93927
(January 7, 2022), 87 FR 2191 (January 13, 2022) (SR-MEMX-2021-19)
(introduction of membership fees by MEMX). See also Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 94894 (May 11, 2022), 87 FR 29987 (May 17,
2022) (SR-BOX-2022-17).
    \13\ See, e.g., ``NASDAQ Membership Fees,'' ($55 for each Form
U-4 filed for the registration of a Representative or Principal, and
$55 for each Form U-4 filed for the transfer or re-licensing of a
Representative or Principal).
    \14\ See e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 93927
(January 7, 2022), 87 FR 2191 (January 13, 2022) (SR-MEMX-2021-19)
(introduction of membership fees by MEMX).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed Participant Fees are not
unfairly discriminatory because it would be assessed uniformly across
all Members or firms that seek to become Members. Additionally, the
Exchange believes that the proposed fees are not unfairly
discriminatory because no broker-dealer is required to become a Member
of the Exchange. There is also no regulatory requirement that Market
Makers connect and access any one options exchange or that any market
participant connect to any one particular options exchange. Moreover, a
Market Maker membership is not a requirement to participate on the
Exchange and participation on an exchange in any capacity is completely
voluntary. Indeed, while the Exchange currently has 51 members that
trade options, Cboe BZX has 63 members that trade options, Cboe Options
has 98 Trading Permit Holders (``TPHs'') (i.e., members) and Cboe C2
has 52 TPHs. There is also no firm that is a Member of EDGX Options
only. Further, based on publicly available information regarding a
sample of the Exchange's competitors, NYSE American Options has 73
members,\15\ and NYSE Arca Options has 67 members,\16\ MIAX Options has
44 members \17\ and MIAX Pearl Options has 41 members.\18\ BOX
Exchange, Inc. (``BOX'') noted in a recent rule change to adopt
Electronic Market Maker Trading Permit Fees that it reviewed membership
details at three options exchanges and found that there are 62 market
making firms across those three exchanges.\19\ Particularly, BOX found
that 42 of the 62 market making firms access only one of the three
exchanges. BOX additionally identified numerous market makers that are
members of other options exchanges, but not BOX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2022), 87 FR 29987 (May 17, 2022) (SR-BOX-2022-17).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the vigorous competition among national securities
exchanges provides many alternatives for firms to voluntarily decide
whether membership to the Exchange is appropriate and worthwhile, and
as noted above, no broker-dealer is required to become a Member of the
Exchange. Indeed, there are currently 15 other registered options
exchanges that trade options and one additional options exchange
expected to launch in 2023. Further, low barriers to entry mean that
new exchanges may rapidly and inexpensively enter the market and offer
additional substitute platforms to further compete with the Exchange
and the products it offers. For example, there are 3 exchanges that
have been added in the U.S. options markets in the last 5 years (i.e.,
Nasdaq MRX, LLC, MIAX Pearl, LLC, and MIAX Emerald LLC) and one
additional options exchange that is expected to launch in 2023 (i.e.,
MEMX LLC). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange still believes
that the proposed fee of $500 as a monthly Participant Fee, and
additional fee of $750 for Market Makers is reasonable, equitably
allocated and not unfairly discriminatory, even for a broker-dealer
that determines it should join the Exchange for business purposes, as
those business reasons should presumably result in revenue capable of
covering the proposed fee.
    The Exchange believes its proposed Market Maker Appointments
Sliding Scale fees are also reasonable as its affiliated exchange, Cboe
Exchange, Inc. (``Cboe Options''), offers the same structure with
respect to fees for appointment classes and as the proposed fees are
significantly lower than the Cboe Options fees that were adopted
recently in 2020.\20\ The Exchange believes the proposed tier
compositions, corresponding appointment weights and rebalance process
are also reasonable as they are the same as they are for Cboe Options.
In addition, other exchanges offer a similar structure with respect to
assessing Market-Maker fees based on appointment classes and the
proposed fees are again significantly lower than such fees, including
the fees just recently adopted by BOX.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90333 (November 4,
2020), 85 FR 71666 (November 10, 2020) (SR-CBOE-2020-105). See also
Cboe Options Fees Schedule, Market-Maker EAP Appointments Sliding
Scale, which assesses fees between $3,100 to $6,000 per appointment
unit versus the proposed Market Maker Appointments Sliding Scale
which assesses significantly lower rates between $100 to $500 per
appointment unit.
    \21\ See e.g., NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSEArca'') Fee Schedule,
which assesses Market Makers $6,000 for up to 175 option issues, an
additional $5,000 for up to 350 option issues, an additional $4,000
for up to 1,000 option issues, and an additional $3,000 for all
option issues traded on the Exchange. See also Miami International
Securities Exchange, LLC (``MIAX'') Fee Schedule Fee, which assesses
Market Makers $7,000 for up to 10 classes or up to 20% of classes by
volume, $12,000 for up to 40 classes or up to 35% of classes by
volume, $17,000 for up to 100 classes or up to 50% or classes by
volume, and $22,000 for over 100 classes or over 50% of classes by
volume up to all classes listed on MIAX. See Securities and Exchange
Release No. 94894 (May 11, 2022), 87 FR 29987 (May 17, 2022) (SR-
BOX-2022-17) and BOX Exchange Fees Schedule, Section 1. Participant
Fees, which assesses Market Makers $4,000 for up to 10 option
classes, $6,000 for up to 40 classes, $8,000 for up to 100 classes
and $10,000 for over 100 classes. By comparison, the Exchange
anticipates that EDGX Options Market Makers on average would need
approximately 9.5 Appointment Units, costing $2,050 per month for
appointment fees.

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

    Moreover, as discussed above, there is no regulatory requirement
that any market participant, including Market Makers, connect to any
one particular options exchange. This is evidenced by the fact that no
firm is an EDGX Options only member and further illustrated by the
analysis described above by BOX in which it found 42 of 62 market
making firms across three exchanges access only one of those three
exchanges. Also as noted, a Market Maker membership is not a
requirement to participate on the Exchange and participation on an
exchange in any capacity is completely voluntary. Accordingly, Market
Makers choose if and how to access a particular exchange and because it
is a choice; if a Market Maker deems a particular exchange as charging
excessive fees to participate, such Market Maker may not connect, and
existing Market Makers would disconnect from the Exchange.
    The Exchange believes the proposed Market Maker Appointments
Sliding Scale fees are equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because they will apply uniformly to all Market Makers, and all
similarly situated Market Makers (i.e., those with same number of
Appointment Units), will be subject to the same fee. The Exchange also
believes that assessing Market Makers that quote in fewer classes lower
total fees is reasonable and appropriate as it will allow the Exchange
to retain and attract smaller-scale Market Makers, which are an
integral component of the options industry marketplace. The Exchange
believes it's equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to assess
higher fees for Market Makers that have a higher number of class
appointments since they are likely to utilize more bandwidth and
capacity on the Exchange's network. The Exchange also notes that other
options exchanges assess fees at different rates based upon a member's
participation on that exchange, and, as such, this concept is not new
or novel.\22\ The Exchange lastly believes that the proposed Market
Maker Participant and Market Maker Appointments Sliding Scale fees are
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because Market Makers
generally consume the most bandwidth and resources of the Exchange's
network. As such, the Exchange believes it's equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to assess Market Makers an additional Participant Fee
and Market Maker Appointments Sliding Scale fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed fee change will
not impact intramarket competition because it will apply to all
similarly situated Members equally. The Exchange also believes that the
proposed Market Maker Participant and Market Maker Appointments Sliding
Scale fees do not place certain market participants at a relative
disadvantage to other market participants because the proposed fees do
not favor certain categories of market participants in a manner that
would impose a burden on competition; rather, the fee rates are
designed in order to provide objective criteria for Market Makers of
different sizes and business models that best matches their quoting
activity on the Exchange. Further, as noted above, Market Makers
generally consume the most bandwidth and resources of the network.
    The Exchange's proposed Participant Fees, including the Market
Maker Participant Fee, will be lower than the cost of membership on
other exchanges as described in detail above and therefore, may
stimulate intermarket competition by attracting additional firms to
become Members on the Exchange or at least should not deter interested
participants from joining the Exchange. In addition, as discussed in
the statutory basis section above, participant fees are subject to
competition from other exchanges. Accordingly, if the changes proposed
herein are unattractive to market participants, the Exchange can, and
likely will, see a decline in membership as a result. The Exchange
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants
can determine whether or not to join the Exchange based on the value
received compared to the cost of joining and maintaining membership on
the Exchange.

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

    The Exchange 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 is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \23\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule
19b-4 \24\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other
charge imposed by the Exchange.

    \24\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \25\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Eurocopter France) Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-11-
25, which applied to certain Airbus Helicopters (type certificate
previously held by Eurocopter France) Model AS350B3 and EC130T2
helicopters. AD 2021-11-25 required revising the existing rotorcraft
flight manual (RFM) for your helicopter by inserting a new procedure
(temporary). Since the FAA issued AD 2021-11-25, the manufacturer
identified an additional affected full authority digital engine control
(FADEC) part number and developed an optional modification for the
affected FADECs. This AD requires revising the existing RFM for your
helicopter by inserting a new procedure (temporary). This AD also
requires, for helicopter on which an optional terminating action
(installation of serviceable FADECs) was done, removing the applicable
temporary procedure from the existing RFM for your helicopter. In
addition, this AD also adds helicopters to the applicability.
Furthermore, this AD prohibits the installation of an affected FADEC.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective March 30, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of July 29, 2021
(86 FR 33097, June 24, 2021).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2021-11-25, Amendment 39-21587 (86 FR
33097, June 24, 2021), (AD 2021-11-25). AD 2021-11-25 applied to Airbus
Helicopters (type certificate previously held by Eurocopter France)
Model AS350B3 and EC130T2 helicopters with an ARRIEL 2D engine and
THALES FADEC part number (P/N) C13165DA00 without amendment A or THALES
FADEC P/N C13165FA00 without amendment B, installed. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on December 28, 2021 (86 FR 73703). In the
NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the existing RFM for your
helicopter by inserting a new procedure (temporary). The NPRM also
proposed to require, for helicopters on which an optional terminating
action (installation of serviceable FADECs) is done, removing the
applicable temporary procedure from the existing RFM for your
helicopter. In addition, the NPRM also proposed to add helicopters to
the applicability. Furthermore, the NPRM proposed to prohibit the
installation of an affected FADEC.
    AD 2021-11-25 was prompted by EASA AD 2013-0287, dated December 5,
2013 (EASA AD 2013-0287), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe
condition for Eurocopter (formerly Eurocopter France, Aerospatiale)
Model AS 350 B3 and EC 130 T2 helicopters with an ARRIEL 2D engine and
THALES FADEC P/N C13165DA00 or P/N C13165FA00 installed. EASA advised
that there was a report of an in-flight event where the pilot noticed
that the temporary amber governor (GOV) light had illuminated, followed
by the failure of the vehicle engine monitoring display (VEMD) screens,
and no availability of the automatic or auxiliary engine back-up
control ancillary unit (EBCAU). Subsequent investigation identified an
internal failure of the engine digital electronic control unit (DECU),
which led to loss of fuel flow regulation (frozen fuel metering unit).
This failure was not indicated to the pilot by a red GOV warning light
as expected, but with amber GOV indication and loss of VEMD display
instead. EASA also advised that if this fuel metering unit is frozen in
the open position, it may lead to a rotor overspeed, and if it is
frozen in the closed position, it may lead to unavailability of engine
power. EASA stated that this condition, if not addressed, could result
in the pilot

identifying the type of failure condition incorrectly, possibly
resulting in an improper response.
    Since the FAA issued AD 2021-11-25, EASA issued AD 2021-0195, dated
August 20, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0195), which supersedes EASA AD 2013-
0287. EASA advises that after EASA AD 2013-0287 was issued, Airbus
Helicopters revised Alert Service Bulletin No. AS350-01.00.67, Revision
2, dated February 17, 2014; and Alert Service Bulletin No. EC130-
04A004, Revision 2, dated February 17, 2014; to include an additional
affected part number as part of the same rectification campaign.
Additionally, EASA advises that in parallel, SAFRAN (formerly
Turbom[eacute]ca) developed a modification of the affected part, which
mitigates the risk of rotor speed fluctuations, loss of power or
uncommanded in-flight shutdown, and issued Service Bulletin 292 73 2852
providing FADEC replacement instructions. Consequently, Airbus
Helicopters issued the applicable ASBs, providing instructions to
remove the temporary procedure from the RFM Emergency Procedures
section for helicopters with a modified FADEC. Accordingly, EASA AD
2021-0195 retains the requirements of EASA AD 2013-0287 and requires
removing the temporary revision from the Emergency Procedures section
of the RFM for helicopters with a modified FADEC installed. EASA AD
2021-0195 also prohibits the installation of an affected part after
installation of a modified FADEC. Furthermore, EASA AD 2021-0195
specifies to ``inform all flight crews'' of revisions to the RFM, and
thereafter to ``operate the helicopter accordingly.''

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the costs.

Conclusion

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA reviewed the relevant
data and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these helicopters. Except for minor editorial changes,
this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No.
AS350-01.00.67, Revision 2, dated February 17, 2014; and Alert Service
Bulletin No. EC130-04A004, Revision 2, dated February 17, 2014; which
the Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by
reference as of July 29, 2021.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA also reviewed Safran Turbomeca Mandatory Service Bulletin
No. 292 73 2852, Revision C, dated June 6, 2016. This service
information specifies replacing certain FADEC D EECUs with certain
amended FADEC D EECUs.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2021-0195 requires operators to ``inform all flight crews''
of revisions to the RFM, and thereafter to ``operate the helicopter
accordingly.'' However, this AD does not specifically require those
actions.
    FAA regulations mandate compliance with only the operating
limitations section of the flight manual. The flight manual changes
required by this AD apply to the emergency procedures section of the
existing RFM for your helicopter. Furthermore, compliance with such
requirements in an AD is impracticable to demonstrate or track on an
ongoing basis; therefore, a requirement to operate the aircraft in such
a manner is unenforceable. Nonetheless, the FAA recommends that flight
crews of the helicopters listed in the applicability operate in
accordance with the revised emergency procedures specified in this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects up to 628 helicopters of
U.S. Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this AD.
    Revising the existing RFM for your helicopter takes about 0.25
work-hour for an estimated cost of $21 per helicopter and up to $13,188
for the U.S. fleet. Accomplishing the optional terminating action, if
done, takes about 1 work-hour, with a parts costs of $5,000, for an
estimated cost of $5,085 per helicopter.

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.

[Docket No. CP06-76-000]

Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Application

March 10, 2006.
    Take notice that on March 1, 2006, Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC
(Algonquin), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056-5310, filed
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an
application under sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and
part 157 of the Commission's regulations for a certificate of public
convenience and necessity seeking authorization: (1) To construct,
install, own, operate, and maintain certain facilities, known as the
Ramapo Expansion Project, as well as replace and abandon other existing
facilities in order to meet requests from two shippers for the receipt
of natural gas from the proposed new interconnection with Millennium
Pipeline Company, L.P. (Millennium) at Ramapo, New York; and (2) to
implement an initial incremental surcharge for service on the Project
facilities.
    The Project is related to Millennium's Phase I Project (CP98-150-
006), Empire Pipeline's Empire Connector Project (CP06-5-000, et al.)
and the Iroquois Gas Transmission Project in PF06-000. Specifically,
Algonquin proposes to: (1) Abandon and remove approximately 4.8 miles
of 26-inch diameter pipeline and replace with 42-inch diameter
pipeline, in the towns of Ramapo and Haverstraw, Rockland County, New
York; (2) construct a new compressor station totaling 37,700 horsepower
in Oxford, Connecticut; (3) add 18,010 horsepower at the existing
Southeast Station in Southeast, Putnam County, New York; (4) add 8,400
horsepower at the existing Stony Point Station, in Stony Point,
Rockland County, New York; and (5) add 7,700 horsepower at the existing
Hanover Station, in Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey. Algonquin also
proposes minor pipe replacements on the west side of its existing
Hudson River Crossing, piping modifications at two existing
interconnections, and adding a new delivery point at an existing
interconnection.
    The application is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection. This filing is available for review at the Commission in
the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site
at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket

number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
access the document. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support
at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for
TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Steven E. Tillman, General Manager, Regulatory Affairs, Algonquin Gas
Transmission,

LLC, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, phone<PHONE_NUMBER> or
fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    On November 30, 2005, the Commission staff granted Algonquin's
request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-
Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF06-5-000 to staff activities
involving the Ramapo Expansion Project. Now, as of the filing of this
application on March 1, 2006, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this
project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket No. CP06-76-000, as noted in the caption of this
Notice.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date listed below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of this filing and all subsequent filings made with
the Commission and must mail a copy of all filing to the applicant and
to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding
can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, other persons do not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to this
project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties
directly involved in the protest.
    Persons may also wish to comment further only on the environmental
review of this project. Environmental commenters will be placed on the
Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of
environmental documents issued by the Commission, and will be notified
of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review
process. Those persons, organizations, and agencies who submitted
comments during the NEPA Pre-Filing Process in Docket No. PF06-5-000
are already on the Commission staff's environmental mailing list for
the proceeding in the above dockets and may file additional comments on
or before the below listed comment date. Environmental commenters will
not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other
parties. However, environmental commenters are also not parties to the
proceeding and will not receive copies of all documents filed by other
parties or non-environmental documents issued by the Commission.
Further, they will not have the right to seek court review of any final
order by Commission in this proceeding.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

    Comment Date: March 31, 2006.

    Abstract: Section 126(f) of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) requires EPA to set worker
protection standards for state and local employees engaged in hazardous
waste operations and emergency response in the 27 states that do not
have Occupational Safety and Health Administration approved state
plans. The EPA coverage, as cited in 40 CRF 311, required to be
identical to the OSHA standards, extends to three categories of
employees: Those engaged in clean-ups at uncontrolled hazardous waste
sites, including corrective actions at Treatment, Storage and Disposal
(TSD) facilities regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA); employees working on routine hazardous waste operations at
RCRA TSD facilities; and employees involved in emergency response
operations without regard to location. This ICR renews existing
mandatory record keeping collection of ongoing activities including
monitoring of any potential employee exposure at uncontrolled hazardous
waste sites, maintaining records of employee training, refresher
training, medical exams and reviewing emergency response plans.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are those state and local employees engaged in hazardous
waste operations and emergency response in the 27 states that do not
have Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) approved state
plans.
    Respondent's Obligation to respond: 40 CFR 311 has no reporting
requirements. There are record keeping requirements by inference in
Section (e) and by statute in Section (f)[8] of OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120.
    Estimated total number of respondents: 1,115,213.
    Frequency of response: Varies per activity.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 591,732 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $18,534,441, which is entirely labor
costs. There are no capital investment or maintenance and operational
costs.
    Changes in Estimates: For this ICR, the annual burden hour estimate
is 591,732 hours. This represents an increase in 336,255 hours from the
previous ICR. There have been no programmatic changes or modifications
to per-activity estimates; the burden increase is a result of
corrections being

applied to the underlying calculations used in previous renewal
packages.

Airworthiness Directives; Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl
Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl Model P2006T airplanes. This AD
results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes
the unsafe condition as an incorrect part number for the rudder trim
actuator is referenced in the Airworthiness Limitations section of the
FAA-approved maintenance program (e.g., maintenance manual) and the
life limit for that part may not be properly applied in service. We are
issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective September 4, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-

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 Costruzioni Aeronautiche
Tecnam srl Model P2006T airplane. The NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on March 19, 2018 (83 FR 11903). The NPRM proposed to correct
an unsafe condition for the specified products and was based on
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European Community. The MCAI states:

    It was identified that the Part Number (P/N) of the rudder trim
actuator mentioned in the P2006T Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM)
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) document was erroneously
mentioned. As a result, it cannot be excluded that the life limit
applicable to this actuator is not being applied in service.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to failure of the
rudder control system, possibly resulting in reduced control of the
aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, TECNAM published
Service Bulletin (SB)-285-CS Ed. 1 Rev. 0 (later revised) to inform
operators about this typographical error. It is expected that,
during the next revision of the P2006T AMM ALS document, it will
list the correct the P/N for that rudder trim actuator.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires
implementation of a life limit for rudder trim actuator.

The MCAI can be found in the AD docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=FAA-2018-0204-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Changes Made to This AD

    We changed the incorporation by reference of the service
information for adding a life limit to the Airworthiness Limitations
section of the maintenance program to only a reference. The service
information does not provide any specific procedures or instructions
for establishing the life limit.
    We also inadvertently omitted information for ``Contacting the
Manufacturer,'' which is a standard paragraph for FAA ADs related to
MCAIs. We have added that paragraph in the final rule as paragraph
(g)(2).

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for the
changes stated above and other minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information

    Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl has issued Service Bulletin No.
SB 285-CS-Ed 1, Revision 2, dated February 2, 2018. The service
information describes procedures for correcting the part number of the
rudder trim actuator in the Airworthiness Limitations section of the
FAA-approved maintenance program (e.g., maintenance manual).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 20 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with this requirement to incorporate a correction to the
Airworthiness Limitations section of the FAA-approved maintenance
program (e.g., maintenance manual). The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $1,700, or $85 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of

the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,'' describes
in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to small airplanes, gliders,
balloons, airships, domestic business jet transport airplanes, and
associated appliances to the Director of the Policy and Innovation
Division.

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, 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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0204; or in person at Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains
the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations (telephone
(800) 647-5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available
in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl Model
P2006T airplanes, all serial numbers that do not incorporate design
change TECNAM modification (Mod) 2006/322 at production,
certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 27: Flight
Controls.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and address an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as an incorrect
part number for the rudder trim actuator is referenced in the
Airworthiness Limitations section of the FAA-approved maintenance
program (e.g., maintenance manual), and the life limit for that part
may not be properly applied in service. We are issuing this AD to
prevent failure of the rudder trim actuator, which could cause the
rudder control system to fail. This failure could result in reduced
control of the airplane.

 (f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the following actions in paragraphs
(f)(1) through (3) of this AD. The hours time-in-service (TIS)
specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD are those accumulated on
the rudder trim actuator, part number (P/N) B6-7T, since first
installed on an airplane. If the total hours TIS are unknown, the
hours TIS on the airplane must be used.
    (1) Initially replace the rudder trim actuator, P/N B6-7T, at
the compliance time in paragraph (f)(1)(i) or (ii) of this AD that
occurs later:
    (i) Before accumulating 1,000 hours TIS; or
    (ii) Within the next 25 hours TIS after September 4, 2018 (the
effective date of this AD) or within the next 30 days after
September 4, 2018 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs
first.
    (2) After the initial replacement required in paragraph (f)(1)
of this AD, repetitively thereafter replace the rudder trim
actuator, P/N B6-7T, at intervals not to exceed 1,000 hours TIS.
    (3) Within the next 12 months after September 4, 2018 (the
effective date of this AD), revise the Airworthiness Limitations
section of the FAA-approved maintenance program (e.g., maintenance
manual) by establishing a 1,000-hour life limit for the rudder trim
actuator P/N B6-7T. You may refer to Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam
srl (TECNAM) Service Bulletin No. SB 285-CS-Ed 1, Revision 1 (dated
November 7, 2017) or Revision 2 (dated February 2, 2018) for more
information.

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Small Airplane Standards Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. Send information to ATTN: Jim Rutherford, Aerospace Engineer,
FAA, Small Airplane Standards Branch, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas
City, Missouri 64106; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax: (816) 329-
4090; email: [email protected]. Before using any approved AMOC
on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate
principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office
(FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer, the action must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, Small Airplane
Standards Branch, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA).
