SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-66375; File No. SR-CBOE-2011-117]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change Relating to Its
Automated Improvement Mechanism

February 10, 2012.
    On December 14, 2011, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend CBOE Rule 6.74A, which
relates to the Exchange's Automated Improvement Mechanism (``AIM'').
The proposal would permit a Trading Permit Holder (``TPH''), when
submitting an agency order to AIM to initiate an

auction, to elect to have last priority in the AIM auction's order
allocation.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ In an AIM auction, described here generally, a TPH submits
into the mechanism an order that it represents as agent (``Agency
Order'') along with a contra-side order at a specified price (which
must comply with parameters set forth in Rule 6.74A) and for the
same size that either represents principal interest of the TPH or is
a solicited order. Certain Exchange participants, as set forth in
Rule 6.74A, then can compete with the contra-side order by
submitting bids (offers) to execute against the Agency Order. After
better-priced orders are filled and public customers competing at
the best price receive their allocations, the TPH is granted
priority ahead of other participants to execute against 40% (in some
circumstances 50%) of the original size of the Agency Order. Under
the proposed rule change, the initiating TPH will be able to elect
to have last priority.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal
Register on December 29, 2011.\4\ The Commission received no comments
on the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 66038 (December 22,
2011), 76 FR 82016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange \5\
and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\
in that it is designed to provide additional flexibility for TPHs to
obtain executions on behalf of their customers through AIM because the
initiating TPH may elect to have last priority. The Commission believes
that, as a result of this flexibility, there may be increased usage of
AIM auctions and the mechanism may attract new participants, thereby
helping to further competition and to enhance the possibility of price
improvement on behalf of customers.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \7\ The Commission notes that Chapter V, Section 18(f)(v) of the
Rules of the Boston Exchange Group, LLC, ``The Price Improvement
Period'' (``PIP''), includes a similar provision that permits an
options participant initiating a PIP auction to designate a lower
amount than the 40% to which it is otherwise entitled upon the
conclusion of the PIP auction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\8\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CBOE-2011-117) be, and it
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

Deputy Secretary.

Amendment 39-16965; AD 2012-04-09]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B,
747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and
747SP series airplanes. This AD requires inspections for scribe lines
in affected lap and butt splices, wing-to-body fairing locations, and
external repair and cutout reinforcement areas; and related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD was prompted
by reports of scribe lines found at lap joints and butt joints, around
external doublers and antennas, and at locations where external decals
had been cut. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct scribe
lines, which can develop into fatigue cracks in the skin and cause
sudden decompression of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective April 10, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of April 10,
2012.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that
would apply to the specified products. That SNPRM published in the
Federal Register on August 30, 2010 (75 FR 52907). The original NPRM
(73 FR 5768, January 31, 2008) proposed to require inspections for
scribe lines in affected lap and butt splices, wing-to-body fairing
locations, and external repair and cutout reinforcement areas; and
related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. The SNPRM
proposed to revise the original NPRM by adding inspections for certain
airplanes and revising certain compliance times including reducing the
compliance time for certain repetitive inspections.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(75 FR 52907, August 30, 2010) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Revise Certain Inspection Requirements

    Boeing requested that we revise the SNPRM (75 FR 52907, August 30,
2010) to include an additional exception to the service bulletin
specifications. The SNPRM referred to Boeing Service Bulletin 747-
53A2563, Revision 4, dated May 6, 2010, as the appropriate source of
service information for the post-repair inspections. Revision 4 of this
service bulletin includes lap joint repair instructions in the
Accomplishment Instructions, and refers to post-repair instructions in
Parts 17 and 18. The post-repair inspection instructions incorrectly
refer to inspections per the Boeing 747 Supplemental Structural
Inspection Document (SSID) D6-35022. Boeing reported that it plans to
remove the reference to the SSID and update the post-repair inspections
when Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2563 is revised. Boeing therefore
requested that we revise the SNPRM to require operators to contact the
FAA to request the appropriate post-repair inspections rather than
follow the post-repair inspections given in Boeing Service Bulletin
747-53A2563, Revision 4, dated May 6, 2010.
    We partially agree with the request. Although we agree with the
information and rationale provided by the commenter, we have determined
that the inspection procedures described in Boeing Service Bulletin
747-53A2563, Revision 4, dated May 6, 2010, are adequate for the
purpose of this AD. It is not necessary to further burden the operators
with a requirement to contact the FAA for post-repair inspection
instructions, when adequate inspections already exist. Operators may,
however, contact the FAA with an alternative method to the inspection
procedures specified in Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2563, Revision
4, dated May 6, 2010, in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (m) of this AD.

Request To Remove Certain Inspection Requirement

    Boeing and Delta Airlines requested that we revise paragraph (g) of
the SNPRM (75 FR 52907, August 30, 2010) to remove the requirement to
inspect for scribe lines around the perimeter of the wing-to-body
fairing. The commenters stated that this inspection has been removed
from Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2563, Revision 4, dated May 6,
2010. Boeing noted that repetitive inspections for cracks at previously
discovered scribe lines along the wing-to-body fairing may still be
necessary, as specified in Table 17 of paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,''
of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2563, Revision 4, dated May 6, 2010.
    We partially agree with the request. We agree that the initial
inspection of the wing-to-body fairing for scribe lines is not
required; this action was removed from Boeing Service Bulletin 747-
53A2563, Revision 3, dated June 11, 2009; and Boeing Service Bulletin
747-53A2563, Revision 4, dated May 6, 2010. But we disagree that it is
necessary to change the final rule to specify this provision; Note 1,
which was added to the SNPRM (75 FR 52907, August 30, 2010) and
retained in this final rule, accounts for this requested change. We
have not changed the final rule regarding this issue.

Request To Clarify Reporting Requirement

    Delta requested that we revise paragraph (j) of the SNPRM (75 FR
52907, August 30, 2010) (paragraph (k) in this final rule) to specify
that the inspection report is required only for the initial inspection
for scribe lines. The commenter noted that the service bulletin has no
provision for reporting requirements for any repetitive inspections
done during the limited return to service (LRTS) program specified in
Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2563, Revision 4, dated May 6, 2010.
    We agree to clarify that a report is not required for any
inspection accomplished per the LRTS program. We have added this
clarification in paragraph (k) in this final rule.

Request To Extend Certain Compliance Times

    Air New Zealand discussed the implications of scribe lines found
before the applicable inspection threshold. This commenter asserted
that a scribe line could be present on the airplane from its date of
manufacture, and that Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2563, Revision 4,
dated May 6, 2010, effectively declares there is no safety implication
resulting from this scribe line until the relevant inspection
threshold. Yet the SNPRM (75 FR 52907, August 30, 2010) would require
that a scribe line found before the inspection threshold must
immediately be repaired or further inspected. Air New Zealand asserted
that, if scribe lines are discovered early, this requirement would add
to the maintenance burden without increasing safety.
    We infer that the commenter is requesting that we revise the SNPRM
(75 FR 52907, August 30, 2010) to extend the time for corrective action
on known scribe lines to match the threshold specified in the service
information, instead of requiring action before further flight. We
disagree. We have determined that, in this case, due to the safety
implications and consequences of this type of known damage, operators
must repair or inspect scribed structure before further flight. We have
not changed the final rule regarding this issue.

Request To Remove Certain Airplanes From Inspection Requirements

    Cargolux Airlines asserted that certain airplanes should not be
subject to the inspection requirement, and requested that we revise the
SNPRM (75 FR 52907, August 30, 2010) to exclude airplanes delivered
without fillet seals at lap joints, and airplanes with fillet seals
that were applied but never removed. The operator noted that Boeing
Service Bulletin 747-53A2563, Revision 4, dated May 6, 2010, provides
some exceptions for airplanes that had never been stripped or
repainted, and for airplanes on which any sealant removal was always
done in accordance with Appendix A of this service bulletin. The
operator also noted, on the other hand, that no exception exists if
fillet seals were never applied, or were applied but never removed.
Paragraph 1.D. of this service bulletin specifies that scribe lines are
made while fillet seals are removed during repainting. The commenter
concluded that if no fillet seal was ever applied at a lap joint
location, or if an applied fillet seal was never removed, no scribe
line can exist.
    We disagree with the commenter's request to remove certain
airplanes from the inspections required by this AD. As noted in
paragraph 1.E.1 of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2563, Revision 4,
dated May 6, 2010, certain inspections are still necessary even if no
fillet seal has ever been removed. We do not agree to exempt airplanes
on which no fillet seal has ever been removed from those inspections.
The valid exceptions to certain inspections are explained further in
Paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.4 of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2563,
Revision 4, dated May 6, 2010. Note 1 of this AD states that the
exemptions noted in paragraph 1.E. of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-
53A2563, Revision 4, dated May 6, 2010, apply to this AD. It is not
necessary to change the final rule regarding this issue.

Request To Revise Compliance Time

    British Airways (BA) requested that we revise the SNPRM (75 FR
52907, August 30, 2010) to allow low-time airplanes (with fewer than
17,500 total accumulated flight cycles) to be inspected in area 1 of
the fuselage at the later of 1,500 flight cycles after the effective
date of the AD, and the next ``D'' check after the airplane has
accumulated 15,000 total cycles without exceeding 19,000 total flight
cycles. BA noted that Boeing recommends a 15,000-flight-cycle threshold
for the area 1 inspections, and that the inspections should be done
during a ``D'' check to avoid unscheduled downtime. As a result, to
align with a ``D'' check, the inspections for low-time airplanes may
have to occur as early as 12,000 total flight cycles for long-haul
airplanes, and even earlier for short-haul airplanes. The commenter
added that Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53A2563, Revision 4, dated May
6, 2010, also includes procedures for inspecting for scribe lines
around external fuselage repairs, and as such, shares commonality with
the need to assess repairs as detailed in Boeing SSID D6-36181, which
the FAA approved in 2008. This program's threshold is the first ``D''
check after the airplane has accumulated 15,000 total flight cycles.
The commenter felt it would be appropriate to carry out the scribe line
inspection of area 1 and the repair assessment program at the same
time. BA stated that it understands that the term ``D check'' means
different things to different operators, but pointed out that in the
past the FAA has been able to clarify this, for example, in paragraph
217 of FAA Advisory Circular 120-93, dated November 20, 2007 (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/1ab39b4ed563b08985256a35006d56af/f73fd2a31b353a71862573b000521928!OpenDocument), which states as
follows:

    Airplanes less than 75 percent of DSG [design service goal] on
December 18, 2009. Operators complete a survey at the first heavy
maintenance check (time limit equivalent to a ``D-check'') after an
individual airplane reaches 75% of the DSG, not to exceed the DSG.

    Note: A heavy maintenance check (D-check or equivalent airplane
inspection) is an airplane maintenance visit where the major
structural inspections are performed. In some cases, this may be a
formal D-check or, in the case of a Maintenance Steering Group
(MSG)-2 or -3 based maintenance program, the D-check equivalent may
be the ``C-check'' multiple that contains the majority of the major
structural inspections, such as a ``C-4'' which is sometimes called
a heavy maintenance visit.

    BA stated that its proposed variation on the threshold for area 1
would follow this convention, but have the additional safeguard that
the airplane would not exceed 19,000 total flight cycles before
inspection. Younger airplanes therefore would have the same or greater
level of safety than airplanes currently inspected at 17,500 total
flight cycles and allowed a 1,500-flight-cycle grace period. BA
reported that, of 314 Model 747 airplanes that have accumulated more
than 19,000 total flight cycles, none had experienced cracking from
scribe lines--even though exploratory inspections to date suggest that
scribe lines are commonplace.
    We disagree with the request to revise the compliance time as
suggested. We do not specify compliance times in terms of letter checks
because, as the commenter noted, maintenance schedules vary among
operators. We have determined that the compliance times as proposed are
appropriate to address the identified unsafe condition. The minimum
grace period for compliance with this AD is 1,500 flight cycles for
airplanes with fewer than 17,500 total flight cycles, which corresponds
to approximately 3 years based on a typical utilization of 500 flight
cycles per year for long-haul airplanes. A 3-year grace period should
be sufficient for operators to plan for the scribe line inspections,
and will allow for timely data collection for use in developing final
action and determining whether this AD should be revised in the future.
We have not changed the final rule regarding this issue. Under the
provisions of paragraph (m) in this final rule, however, we may
consider requests for adjustments to the compliance time if data are
submitted to substantiate that such an adjustment would provide an
acceptable level of safety.

Request for Alternative Inspection Program

    KLM requested that we revise the SNPRM (75 FR 52907, August 30,
2010) to exclude from the inspection program the CLAD layer of the skin
(up to a certain depth/percentage, to be determined by the type
certificate holder). KLM asserted that scribe lines found in the CLAD
layer are not critical for continued operation and do not require
repeat inspections as specified in the LRTS program. KLM also requested
investigation of a single fatigue crack evolving from a scribe line
found in the CLAD layer, not in the base material. KLM requested that
the proposed AD be revised to allow blending scribe lines found in CLAD
layers as a corrective action. KLM suggested that scribe lines might
have no effect on the CLAD layer, and suggested that a program be
developed for inspecting scribe lines in the CLAD layer of the skin.
    We agree that additional studies on scribe lines within CLAD layers
might benefit the development of new inspection programs and relieve
certain inspection criteria. But we disagree to change this aspect of
the SNPRM (75 FR 52907, August 30, 2010) at this time, because no such
inspection program exists. To delay this action would be inappropriate,
since we have determined that an unsafe condition exists and we must
proceed to mandate the inspections as proposed to ensure continued
safety. In the future, we might consider additional rulemaking to
include new inspections, if a new inspection program is developed,
approved, and available. In the meantime, under the provisions of
paragraph (m) of this final rule, we will consider requests for
approval of an alternative method of compliance if sufficient data are
submitted to substantiate that the alternative inspection program would
provide an acceptable level of safety. We have not changed the final
rule regarding this issue.

Explanation of Additional Change Made to This AD

    We have revised the heading for and wording in paragraph (l) of
this AD; this change has not changed the intent of that paragraph.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that
these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 219 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    During receipt of spare parts at the final assembly line, it was
discovered that lugs of the assembly nut * * * had been inverted
(wrong orientation of the braking pin) during manufacturing process
at the supplier.
    * * * This lug inversion could give the illusion of correct
torque whereas the affected parts are not properly connected.
    Loose connection could lead to loss of the fire extinguishing
system integrity and therefore inability to ensure the adequate
agent concentration. In combination with an engine fire event, it
could result in a temporary uncontrolled engine fire, which
constitutes an unsafe condition.

* * * * *
    The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address
the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 27, 2009.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2008-0196, dated October 27, 2008 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    During receipt of spare parts at the final assembly line, it was
discovered that lugs of the assembly nut, part number (P/N)
A2621005000200, had been inverted (wrong orientation of the braking
pin) during manufacturing process at the supplier.
    The assembly nut P/N A2621005000200 is part of the engine fire-
extinguishing piping assembly. It connects the extinguisher
discharge head with the piping. The lugs function is to prevent the
connection untwisting once it has been hand-tightened with the
correct torque. This lug inversion could give the illusion of
correct torque whereas the affected parts are not properly
connected.
    Loose connection could lead to loss of the fire extinguishing
system integrity and therefore inability to ensure the adequate
agent concentration. In combination with an engine fire event, it
could result in a temporary uncontrolled engine fire, which
constitutes an unsafe condition.
    To restore connection integrity, this Airworthiness Directive
(AD) requires a one-time general visual inspection of the affected
nut assembly to detect and correct any wrong orientation of lugs.

    The corrective actions include a temporary repair (restoration) and
replacing the fire extinguisher bottle nut assembly with the braking
pin in the inverted position, if necessary.
    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-26-3043,
including Appendices 01, 2, and 3, dated October 7, 2008. The actions
described in this service information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

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

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

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

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 4 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 9 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $2,880, or $720 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications

under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

0920, 0922, 0923, and 0951.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 26: Fire
Protection.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    During receipt of spare parts at the final assembly line, it was
discovered that lugs of the assembly nut, part number (P/N)
A2621005000200, had been inverted (wrong orientation of the braking
pin) during manufacturing process at the supplier.
    The assembly nut P/N A2621005000200 is part of the engine fire-
extinguishing piping assembly. It connects the extinguisher
discharge head with the piping. The lugs function is to prevent the
connection untwisting once it has been hand-tightened with the
correct torque. This lug inversion could give the illusion of
correct torque whereas the affected parts are not properly
connected.
    Loose connection could lead to loss of the fire extinguishing
system integrity and therefore inability to ensure the adequate
agent concentration. In combination with an engine fire event, it
could result in a temporary uncontrolled engine fire, which
constitutes an unsafe condition.
    To restore connection integrity, this Airworthiness Directive
(AD) requires a one-time general visual inspection of the affected
nut assembly to detect and correct any wrong orientation of lugs.
    The corrective actions include a temporary repair (restoration)
and replacing the fire extinguisher bottle nut assembly with the
braking pin in the inverted position, if necessary.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions:
    (1) Within 900 flight hours after the effective date of this AD,
perform a general visual inspection to detect any wrong orientation
of the lugs of the fire extinguisher bottle nut assembly of both
engines, and do all applicable corrective actions specified in
paragraphs (f)(1)(i) and (f)(1)(ii) of this AD, in accordance with
the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin
A330-26-3043, dated October 7, 2008.
    (i) Before further flight, if the correct nut assembly is
available, replace the fire extinguisher bottle nut assembly.
    (ii) Before further flight, if the correct nut assembly is not
available, do the temporary repair; and within 900 flight hours
after doing the repair, replace the fire extinguisher bottle nut
assembly with the correct one.
    (2) Submit a report of the findings of the inspection required
by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD using Appendix 01 of Airbus Mandatory
Service Bulletin A330-26-3043, dated October 7, 2008, at the
applicable time specified in paragraph (f)(2)(i) or (f)(2)(ii) of
this AD. Send the report to Airbus Department SEEE6, Airbus Customer
Services Directorate, 1 Rond Point Maurice Bellonte, 31707 Blagnac
Cedex France, ATTN: SDC32 Technical Data and Documentation Services;
fax: 33 5 61 93 28 06; e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (i) If the inspection was done on or after the effective date of
this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the inspection.
    (ii) If the inspection was accomplished prior to the effective
date of this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the
effective date of this AD.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    On November 5, 2020, Oregon submitted a SIP revision addressing
stationary source permitting and associated fees.\1\ The revision,
State effective September 21, 2020, makes updates to SIP-approved air
quality permitting regulations. Oregon's air quality regulations are
codified in Divisions 200 through 268 of Chapter 340 of the Oregon
Administrative Rules (OAR).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Oregon subsequently revised the scope of the SIP revision
submitted for EPA approval in a letter dated December 22, 2021. In
the letter, Oregon clarified that OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>, which includes
the specific fee amounts to be paid by sources, is not submitted for
SIP approval. The letter has been placed in the docket for this
action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We proposed to approve the submitted SIP revision on February 14,
2022 (87 FR 8222). The reasons for our proposed approval are included
in the proposal and will not be restated here. The public comment
period closed on March 16, 2022. We received no public comments,
therefore, we are finalizing the action as proposed.

II. Final Action

    The EPA is approving, and incorporating by reference, revisions to
the Oregon SIP submitted on November 5, 2020, for the purposes of SIP-
related permitting. Upon the effective date of this action, the Oregon
SIP will include the following regulations, State effective September
21, 2020:
     OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>, Notice of Construction and Approval of
Plans: Notice to Construct;
     OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>, Notice of Construction and Approval of
Plans: Construction Approval; and
     OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>, Table 1--Activities and Sources.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that
includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of
1 CFR 51.5, we are finalizing the incorporation by reference of Oregon
regulatory provisions as described in Section II of this preamble and
set forth below in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52. The EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these materials generally available through
https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 10 Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this preamble for more information). Therefore, these
materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have
been incorporated by reference by the EPA into that plan, are fully
federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the Clean Air

Act as of the effective date of the final rule of the EPA's approval,
and will be incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP
compilation.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to
approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA
and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action merely approves State law as meeting Federal requirements
and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by
State law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated
that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the
rule does not have tribal implications and it will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by July 11, 2022. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52

    Environmental protection, Air pollution control, Carbon monoxide,
Incorporation by reference, Intergovernmental relations, Lead, Nitrogen
dioxide, Ozone, Particulate matter, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Sulfur oxides, Volatile organic compounds.

    Dated: May 3, 2022.
Michelle L. Pirzadeh,

September 25, 2013
Preliminary Agenda
    9:00 am-9:15 am Welcome and opening remarks
    9:15 am-10:45 am The role of centralized capacity markets in
assuring resource adequacy
    In the first morning session, ISO New England, Inc., PJM
Interconnection, L.L.C., and New York Independent System Operator will
provide a brief overview of the goals and basic structure of their
respective centralized capacity markets, including a discussion of why
each region chose key market design elements and how each market is
achieving its stated goals.
    10:45 am-12:15 pm Mechanics of current centralized capacity markets
    The second morning session will address basic design elements of
centralized capacity markets, such as the forward commitment period,
the demand curve and the establishment of locational and regional
planning requirements, as well as the interaction among these design
elements with energy and ancillary services markets. Panelists will be
asked to address these issues in the context of the goals and
objectives of the centralized capacity markets.
    12:15 pm-1:15 pm Lunch
    1:15 pm-2:45 pm Adapting to industry changes
    The first afternoon session builds on the previous panel and
introduces for discussion the impact of State and Federal policy
considerations and emerging technologies on the goals and objectives of
centralized capacity markets. Panelists will be asked to identify
current and potential policy drivers (e.g., environmental regulations,
renewable portfolio standards, state resource planning policies,
emerging technologies and fuels such as shale gas, price responsive
demand and electric storage) and address their impacts on centralized
capacity markets.
    2:45 pm-3:00 pm Break
    3:00 pm-4:30 pm Considerations for the future
    The second afternoon session will address potential future
directions for centralized capacity markets as a resource adequacy
mechanism. This panel will focus on whether new mechanisms and design
tools could prospectively augment, supplement or substitute for typical
centralized capacity market design elements in order to meet current
and anticipated market challenges, and how capacity markets can
accommodate evolving market developments and future risks.

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2018-0066]

Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that by letter dated March 3, 2023,
BNSF Railway (BNSF) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49
CFR part 227 (Occupational Noise Exposure). The relevant Docket Number
is FRA-2018-0066.
    Specifically, BNSF requests to extend its relief from Sec.
227.109, Audiometric testing program, to allow employees certified
under parts 240 (Qualification and Certification of Locomotive
Engineers) and 242 (Qualification and Certification of Conductors) to
exceed 1,095 days between audiometric tests if they meet the hearing
acuity timelines of Sec. Sec.  240.217, Time limitations for making
determinations, and 242.201, Time limitations for certification. BNSF
seeks continued permission for certified employees to have up to 1,460
days between audiometric tests to alleviate possible employee confusion
of having multiple hearing test requirements. In support of its
petition, BNSF states that the relief will ``reduce the impacts of
regulatory overlap'' and that the relief is supported by employees.\1\
Additionally, BNSF states that it has successfully completed hearing
conservation audits in 2009, 2014, 2020, and 2022, and it will
``continue to offer annual testing and training in the spirit of the
regulation's intent to provide long-term surveillance and medical
oversight'' for certified employees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ To support this claim, BNSF cites the comment, dated
September 24, 2018, from SMART-TD in the docket at https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FRA-2018-0066-0004.
_____________________________________-

    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
    Communications received by June 12, 2023 will be considered by FRA
before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be
considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic form of any
written communications and comments received into any of our dockets by
the name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the
document, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to better inform
its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit, including any
personal information the commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as
