SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-74281; File No. SR-NYSE-2015-06]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Adopting New Rule 124 to
Conduct a Midday Auction and Amending Rule 104 to Codify the Obligation
of Designated Market Makers to Facilitate the Midday Auction

February 17, 2015.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby given
that on February 2, 2015, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C.78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to adopt new Rule 124 to conduct a daily
single-priced auction at a specified time in lower-volume securities
(``Midday Auction'') and amend Rule 104 to codify the obligation of
Designated Market Makers (``DMM'') to facilitate the Midday Auction.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web
site at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, 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 self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to adopt new Rule 124 to conduct a daily
Midday Auction and amend Rule 104 to reflect that the DMM's obligation
to facilitate reopenings includes the Midday Auction.
    The Exchange proposes to adopt new Rule 124 to conduct a Midday
Auction in a subset of NYSE-listed securities that have a consolidated
average daily trading volume (``CADV'') of 1,000,000 shares or less and
have been designated by the Exchange (the ``Midday Auction Stocks'').
The Midday Auction is intended to consolidate volume, including orders
of larger blocks of stock, for price discovery purposes in lower-volume
securities to provide market participants with a single-priced
execution intraday to supplement the existing opening and closing
auctions.\4\ The Exchange believes the proposed parameters for which
stocks would be eligible to participate is reasonably designed to
include those stocks that would benefit from such price discovery. The
Exchange further believes that providing the Exchange with the ability
to designate which stocks within those parameters are eligible for the
Midday Auction is appropriate because it would provide the Exchange
with the ability to add or remove stocks depending on the individual
trading characteristics of a stock. As proposed, the Exchange would
update the list of Midday Auction Stocks at least quarterly.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange notes that NYSE-listed securities with a CADV
of 1,000,000 shares or less represent approximately 16 percent of
the consolidated volume of all NYSE-listed securities.
    \5\ See Proposed Rule 124(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to conduct one Midday Auction in each Midday
Auction Stock per trading day.\6\ The Midday Auction would not be
conducted on trading days the Exchange is scheduled to close before
4:00 p.m. ET or if the security is halted, paused, suspended, or not
opened for trading at the time of the Midday Auction.\7\ For example,
if during the pause preceding the Midday Auction (described below), a
pause pursuant to the Plan to Address Extraordinary Market Volatility
(``LULD Plan'') \8\ or regulatory halt were triggered, the Exchange
would not conduct a Midday Auction and instead would reopen the
security pursuant to the procedures for reopening following a LULD Plan
pause or regulatory halt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Proposed Rule 124(a)(3).
    \7\ See Proposed Rule 124(a)(2).
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67091 (May 31,
2012), 77 FR 33498 (June 6, 2012) (File no. 4-631).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Beginning at a time specified by the Exchange between 11 a.m. ET
and 2 p.m. ET,\9\ the Exchange would pause trading on the Exchange only
in the Midday Auction Stocks for five minutes in order to provide
market participants with an opportunity to enter interest intended for
the auction (the ``Midday Auction Pause'').\10\ During the Midday
Auction Pause, the Exchange would suspend automatic executions and
publish a zero quote on both the public and proprietary data feeds.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange proposes to specify the time of the Midday
Auction Pause by Trader Update.
    \10\ See Proposed Rule 124(b). Under Rule 104(a)(1)(B)(ii), the
DMM's quoting obligations are suspended during a trading pause and
do not re-commence until after the first regular way transaction on
the primary listing market in the security following such pause. The
Exchange believes that DMMs would also be relieved of their quoting
obligations pursuant to Rule 104(a)(1)(B)(ii) during the Midday
Auction Pause.
    \11\ See id. Because the Midday Auction would be intended to
occur daily at the same time in specified securities, the Exchange
believes that the publication of a zero quote condition would signal
to the market that the Midday Auction Pause has begun. The Exchange
therefore does not propose, nor does it believe it necessary, to
disseminate an indication over the Consolidated Quote System or
Consolidated Tape that a security is in a Midday Auction Pause.

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

    In order to maximize the interest eligible to participate in the
Midday Auction, during the Midday Auction Pause, the Exchange would
maintain resting orders on the Exchange's book that are eligible to
participate in a reopening.\12\ The Exchange would also accept new
orders that are eligible to participate in the Midday Auction.\13\ The
Exchange notes that Market-on-Open (``MOO'') and Limit-on-Open
(``LOO'') Orders, which are existing order types available for openings
and reopenings, would be accepted during the Midday Auction Pause. The
Exchange would also accept and process cancellations of new and resting
orders during the Midday Auction Pause,\14\ which is how the Exchange
processes orders during a trading halt or LULD Plan pause.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Proposed Rule 124(b)(1).
    \13\ See Proposed Rule 124(b)(2).
    \14\ See Proposed Rule 124(b)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because a Midday Auction Stock would be paused on the Exchange
only, during the Midday Auction Pause, the Exchange proposes to
continue re-pricing sell short orders, including MOO and LOO Orders,
consistent with Rule 440B(e) (Short Sales).\15\ The Exchange also
proposes to continuously re-price and/or cancel orders, including MOO
and LOO Orders, consistent with Rule 80C(a)(5).\16\ In addition, in
order to attract contra-side interest, during a Midday Auction Pause,
the Exchange would publish Order Imbalance Information as defined in
Rule 15(c) \17\ approximately every five seconds.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Proposed Rule 124(b)(4).
    \16\ See Proposed Rule 124(b)(5).
    \17\ Order Imbalance Information reflects real-time order
imbalances that accumulate prior to the opening or reopening
transaction on the Exchange and the price at which interest eligible
to participate in an opening or reopening transaction may be
executed in full. Order Imbalance Information disseminated pursuant
to Rule 15(c) includes all interest eligible for execution in the
opening or reopening transaction of a security in Exchange systems.
See Rule 15(c)(1).
    \18\ See Proposed Rule 124(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At the end of the Midday Auction Pause, the Exchange proposes to
conduct the Midday Auction by reopening the Midday Auction Stocks at a
single equilibrium price in the same manner as in Rule 123D (Openings
and Halts in Trading) for reopenings, with two exceptions. Accordingly,
as with reopenings following a regulatory halt or LULD Plan pause, the
DMM registered in the security would be responsible for facilitating
the Midday Auction in a manner similar to how an opening or reopening
would be conducted. This includes the DMM supplying liquidity as
needed, as provided for in Rule 104(a)(2), and conducting the Midday
Auction either manually or electronically, as provided for in Rule
123D(1).\19\ Rule 104(a)(2) sets forth the DMM's obligation to
facilitate openings and reopenings for each of the securities in which
the DMM is registered as required under Exchange rules, which may
include providing liquidity as needed. To specify that the DMM has a
similar obligation for the Midday Auction, the Exchange proposes to
amend Rule 104(a)(2) by adding the clause ``including the Midday
Auction'' following ``reopenings.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Proposed Rule 124(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The first proposed exception to Rule 123D is based on the manner
that the Exchange reopens securities following a LULD Plan pause, as
set forth in Rule 80C(b)(2)(A). As currently the case for reopenings
pursuant to Rule 80C(b)(2)(A), the Exchange proposes that for Midday
Auctions, indications may be published to the Consolidated Tape, but
they are not required. In addition, prior Floor Official approval is
not required and if an indication is published, it would not need to be
updated before the Midday Auction and the Midday Auction may occur
outside of any prior indication. Moreover, a Midday Auction would not
be subject to the requirements that (i) a minimum of three minutes must
elapse between the first indication and the Midday Auction, or (ii) if
more than one indication is published, a minimum of one minute must
elapse before the Midday Auction.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See Proposed Rule 123(c)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The second proposed exception to Rule 123D would be that the Midday
Auction would not execute at a price outside of the LULD Price Bands,
as provided for in Rule 80C(a)(4).\21\ Although the LULD Plan provides
that reopenings are not subject to the Plan,\22\ the Exchange believes
that because trading in Midday Auction Stocks would be continuing on
other markets, the Midday Auction should execute consistent with the
Price Bands in effect at the time of the Midday Auction. As noted
above, to facilitate a Midday Auction priced consistent with the LULD
Price Bands, the Exchange would be re-pricing both market and limit
interest that is eligible to participate in the Midday Auction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See Proposed Rule 124(c)(2). The Exchange will be
submitting separately a request for exemptive relief pursuant to
Rule 611(d) of Regulation NMS that the Midday Auction be exempted
from the requirements of Rule 611 of Regulation NMS, 17 CFR 242.600
et seq., because it operates, in substance, in the same way as a
single-priced reopening transaction, which is an existing exception
to the Order Protection Rule under Rule 611(b)(3).
    \22\ See LULD Plan, supra note 8 at section VI(A)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because the Midday Auction is intended to be conducted the same as
a reopening pursuant to Rule 123D (except as provided for in the two
exceptions), the Exchange proposes to specify that orders would
participate in the Midday Auction in the same manner that such orders
would participate in openings or reopenings. The Exchange further
proposes to specify that orders that are not eligible to participate in
openings or reopenings pursuant to Exchange rule would not participate
in the Midday Auction.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See Proposed Rule 124(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Generally, the Exchange expects that DMMs would facilitate the
Midday Auction electronically as close to the end of the Midday Auction
Pause as feasible. However, if there is a significant imbalance or
Floor broker crowd interest, the DMM would have the ability, as is the
case today with all Exchange auctions, to manually conduct the Midday
Auction to provide greater opportunity for equilibrium in any imbalance
of orders. The Exchange proposes that if there is a significant
imbalance in a Midday Auction Stock at the end of the Midday Auction
Pause, with the approval of a Floor Governor or two Floor Officials,
the Midday Auction Pause may be converted to an order imbalance
halt.\24\ In practice, this would provide the DMMs with flexibility to
conduct a Midday Auction manually, but convert to an order imbalance
halt if attracting offsetting interest would delay the Midday Auction.
The benefit of converting to an order imbalance halt is that it would
signal to the public that there is an order imbalance in a symbol, and
provide the DMM with the ability to reopen the security pursuant to
Rule 123D, without either of the above-described exceptions applicable
to the Midday Auction.\25\ In such case, the reopening would not be
subject to the LULD Price Bands, and as proposed, orders re-priced
pursuant to proposed Rule 124(b)(6) would be re-filed according to the
original order instructions and the security would be

reopened pursuant to the procedures set forth in Rule 123D.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See Proposed Rule 123(e). The Exchange notes that the
current procedure for invoking a trading halt requires the approval
of a Floor Governor or two Floor Officials. See Rule 123D(1) (``Once
trading has commenced, trading may only be halted with the approval
of a Floor Governor or two Floor Officials.'')
    \25\ The Exchange notes that when it halts a security for an
order imbalance halt, which is a non-regulatory halt, the Exchange
disseminates via the public data feeds that a symbol is subject to
an order imbalance halt. See Consolidated Tape System CTS Output
Multicast Interface Specification, at 95, 141, and 142, available at
https://www.ctaplan.com/.
    \26\ See Proposed Rule 124(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because of the technology changes associated with the proposed rule
change, the Exchange proposes to announce the implementation date via
Trader Update.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with section 6(b) of the Act,\27\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\28\ in particular, because it
is 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 mechanisms of, a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest
and because it is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \28\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed Midday Auction would
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, protect investors and the public interest
because it would provide opportunity for price discovery and an intra-
day execution for thinly-traded securities. More specifically, the
Exchange believes that the proposed Midday Auction would provide
investors with an intra-day price discovery mechanism during which
potential trading volumes may be consolidated, thereby providing more
certainty of an execution opportunity during the trading day. In
addition, because volume would be consolidated for the auction,
investors with large blocks of stock could use the Midday Auction to
execute those orders without impacting the price of the stock, which
could occur if a large order were entered during continuous, intra-day
trading. As proposed, the Exchange would make the Midday Auction
available for Exchange-listed securities with a CADV of 1,000,000
shares or less, which represent approximately 16% of all NYSE-listed
securities by consolidated volume, and that have been designated by the
Exchange. The Exchange believes that making the Midday Auction
available for symbols with a CADV of 1,000,000 shares or less is
appropriate because symbols with this volume of trading are more likely
to have wider spreads and less certainty of an intraday execution.
    The Exchange further believes that designating the list of Midday
Auction Stocks from within this category, and updating the list at
least quarterly, would perfect the mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system because it would provide the Exchange with
the ability to add or remove stocks from eligibility for the Midday
Auction depending on the trading characteristics of an individual
security. For example, a security with a CADV of 1,000,000 shares or
less may have tight spreads and regular intraday trading opportunities;
such a symbol would be less likely to benefit from a Midday Auction.
    Similarly, the Exchange believes that providing the Exchange with
discretion of when the Midday Auction Pause period would begin,
provided it is between 11 a.m. ET and 2 p.m. ET, would perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system
because it would enable the Exchange to change when the Midday Auction
occurs in order to respond to market events. The Exchange believes that
the proposed window for the Midday Auction is designed to be a period
after the opening and before the closing when additional price
discovery for a Midday Auction Stock would be warranted. The Exchange
notes that as proposed, regardless of the time, it would conduct only
one Midday Auction per day in Midday Auction Stocks. The Exchange
further notes that it would provide advance notice of the timing of the
Midday Auction by Trader Update.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed Midday Auction Pause would
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and national market
system because it is designed to pause intra-day trading only on the
Exchange to provide investors with time to enter interest for the
Midday Auction, including MOO and LOO Orders. The Exchange notes that
the proposed five-minute period for the Midday Auction Pause is based
on the time frame for a LULD Plan pause. Because the Midday Auction is
intended for similar purpose to a LULD Pause, i.e., to consolidate
volume for price discovery purposes, the Exchange believes that the
proposed five-minute period is appropriate and consistent with the Act.
The Exchange notes that the proposed Midday Auction Pause would pause
trading only on the Exchange and therefore investors would continue to
have intra-day executions opportunities on other markets during the
Midday Auction Pause.
    The Exchange further believes that the proposed Midday Auction,
which would be conducted in the same manner as set forth in the
reopening procedures in Rule 123D, would perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and national market system because the Exchange
would use an established auction process for the Midday Auction.
Specifically, as proposed, the DMM assigned to a Midday Auction Stock
would be responsible for facilitating the Midday Auction in a manner
similar to how an opening or reopening would be conducted. This
includes the DMM supplying liquidity as needed, as provided for in Rule
104(a)(2), and conducting the Midday Auction either manually or
electronically, as provided for in Rule 123D(1). In addition, the
Exchange would process orders during the Midday Auction in a manner
similar to how orders are handled during a trading halt or LULD trading
pause, including accepting MOO and LOO Orders to participate in the
Midday Auction. The Exchange would also publish Order Imbalance
Information during a Midday Auction Pause, thereby providing investors
and the public with information about the pricing of the Midday
Auction. The Exchange would also follow established procedures for
publishing indications during a Midday Auction Pause that are based on
how indications may be published during LULD trading pauses pursuant to
Rule 80C(b)(2)(A). The Exchange believes that replicating established
reopening processes for the Midday Auction would provide transparency
and certainty to investors and the public who are already familiar with
the Exchange's auction process for openings and reopenings.
    The Exchange also believes that the proposal to price a Midday
Auction consistent with the LULD price bands in effect at the time of
the auction would perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
national market system because it would assure that the Midday Auction
would not be priced outside of the established parameters for trading
in that security at a given time. In particular, because trading in a
Midday Auction Stock would be paused only on the Exchange, the Exchange
believes it is appropriate to maintain deference to the prices that are
occurring on other markets and price the Midday Auction consistent with
the Price Bands.
    The Exchange notes that if there is a significant imbalance in a
Midday Auction Stock, the Midday Auction Pause could be converted to an
order

imbalance halt with the approval of a Floor Governor or two Floor
Officials, which is the existing process for invoking a halt on the
Exchange pursuant to Rule 123D. The Exchange believes that invoking an
order imbalance halt, which would similarly halt trading on the
Exchange only, would be appropriate because it would provide notice to
the public of an order imbalance in a stock and an opportunity for the
price discovery process to continue consistent with Rule 123D,
including the requirement for publishing indications. The Exchange
believes that for a significant order imbalance, using the existing
reopening process rather than a Midday Auction would perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and national market system and
protect investors and the public interest because it would provide an
opportunity for greater price discovery that would not be restricted by
LULD Price Bands.

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 Exchange Act. The proposed Midday
Auction would only pause trading on the Exchange and would not prevent
market participants from directing order flow in Midday Auction Stocks
to other markets and trading venues during the auction. The proposed
Midday Auction would also be available to all market participants on
the Exchange each day at the same time. Further, the Exchange believes
that by providing an additional opportunity to execute orders in
thinly-traded securities hours before the close of trading, the
proposed rule change would further the price discovery process and
enhance competition.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

Federal Register, or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2007-27868]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
provides the public notice that on November 16, 2017, the Durbin &
Greenbrier Valley Railroad, Inc. (DGVR) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part
223. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2007-27868.
    Specifically, DGVR seeks to renew its waiver of compliance from the
glazing regulations in 49 CFR 223.11, Requirements for existing
locomotives, for one locomotive, identified as DGVR Locomotive Number
82. The locomotive is a 1,500 horsepower diesel electric locomotive,
model BL-2, built by Electro Motive Division of General Motors in 1948
and still has the original glazing intact. The locomotive was
originally built strictly for branch line service and continues to be
used exclusively in this manner. The locomotive is housed in Belington,
West Virginia, and is used sporadically on track leased by a subsidiary
division of DGVR, the West Virginia Central Division. DGVR states that
DGVR Locomotive Number 82 is used in a limited manner for freight and
excursion service along 89 miles of rural and wilderness track. The
maximum authorized speed over this track does not exceed Class 2 track
speeds. DGVR states that there are only two overpasses over the track,
both of which are patrolled by local law enforcement officials on a
regular basis, and that there is no history of vandalism along this
track. DGVR believes that this locomotive can be safely operated
throughout the rural area with the current non-compliant safety-type
glazing. The cost to DGVR for installation of all new window frames and
compliant FRA Type I & II glazing is significant, with only a marginal
increase in safety due to the low speed. A copy of the petition, as
well as any written communications concerning the petition, is
available for review online at www.regulations.gov and in person at the
U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility,
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket
Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal Holidays.
    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 parties
desire 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 by any of the following
methods:
     Website: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

    Communications received by February 9, 2018 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable.

and comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD
was prompted by reports that debris from the parking brake shut off
valve (PBSOV) could create a partial blockage of the restrictor check
valve in the hydraulic return line of the PBSOV. This AD requires
replacing the restrictor check valve with an improved valve that has a
filter screen. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 14, 2019.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 14,
2019.

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 all Fokker Services B.V.
Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on September 7, 2018 (83 FR 45362). The NPRM was
prompted by reports that debris from the PBSOV could create a partial
blockage of the restrictor check valve in the hydraulic return line of
the PBSOV. The NPRM proposed to require replacing the restrictor check
valve with an improved valve that has a filter screen.
    We are issuing this AD to address debris from the PBSOV that could
create a partial blockage of the restrictor check valve in the
hydraulic return line of the PBSOV, which, if not corrected, may
prevent complete main landing gear extension, possibly resulting in
damage to the airplane during landing, and consequent injury to
occupants.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2018-0077 dated April 6, 2018 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for Fokker Services B.V.
Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Service experience with Fokker 70 and Fokker 100 aeroplanes has
shown that debris from the parking brake shut-off valve (PBSOV) can
eventually block the restrictor check valve in the hydraulic return
line of the PBSOV. Prompted by these findings, Fokker Services
issued [Service Bulletin] SBF100-32-159 to introduce a new PBSOV and
a one-time inspection for debris in the affected part of the
hydraulic return system. EASA issued AD 2009-0220 [which corresponds
to FAA AD 2010-22-05 (75 FR 66649, October 29, 2010) (``AD 2010-22-
05'')] to require those actions. In addition, Fokker Services issued
SBF100-32-163 to introduce the option to install a restrictor check
valve with a filter screen in the return line of the PBSOV. A recent
review of in-service experience and the SBF100-32-159 inspection
results revealed new occurrences of debris that obstructed (but did
not completely block) the restrictor check valve.
    This condition, if not corrected, might prevent complete main
landing gear extension, possibly resulting in damage to the
aeroplane during landing, and consequent injury to occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Fokker Services
issued Revision 1 of SBF100-32-163, providing instructions to
replace the restrictor check valve with the improved valve
incorporating a filter screen.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires the
replacement of the restrictor check valve in the return line of the
PBSOV with the improved valve.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0767.

Comments

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

Conclusion

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

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Fokker Services B.V. has issued Service Bulletin SBF100-32-163,

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 transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2022-05-13, Amendment 39-21965 (87 FR 14155,
March 14, 2022) (AD 2022-05-13), for certain serial-numbered Honda
Model HA-420 airplanes, with a certain windshield assembly installed.
AD 2022-05-13 required incorporating temporary revisions into the AFM
and the QRH that modify procedures for windshield heat operation until
the affected windshield assemblies are replaced. AD 2022-05-13 resulted
from

a report of in-flight smoke and fire that initiated from the windshield
heat power wire braid. The FAA issued AD 2022-05-13 to prevent arcing
of the windshield heat power wire braid, which could ignite the wire
sheathing and sealant and the windshield acrylic, resulting in possible
smoke and fire in the cockpit.

Actions Since AD 2022-05-13 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2022-05-13, typographical errors were found
in the document numbers of the AFMs and QRHs in the ``Related Service
Information under 1 CFR part 51'' section of the preamble and
paragraphs (g)(1)(i) through (iv) and paragraphs (l)(2)(i) through (iv)
of the regulatory information. Errors were also found in the document
citation for Honda Aircraft Company Alert Service Bulletin SB-420-56-
002, Revision B, dated April 19, 2021 (Honda SB-420-56-002, Revision
B), in certain references in the preamble. This AD retains all actions
required by AD 2022-05-13 and corrects the typographical errors in the
identified document citations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on these products.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed the following temporary revisions. These temporary
revisions provide modified procedures for windshield heat operation to
reduce exposure to potential windshield heat for the applicable serial
numbers specified on the documents.
     Honda Aircraft Company Temporary Revision TR 04A-1, dated
2020, for Airplane Flight Manual HJ1-29000-003-001 Rev E.
     Honda Aircraft Company Temporary Revision TR 04A-1, dated
2020, for Airplane Flight Manual HJ1-29001-003-001 Rev C.
     HondaJet Temporary Revision TR 04A-1, dated 2020, for
Quick Reference Handbook HJ1-29000-007-001 Rev E.
     HondaJet Temporary Revision TR 04A-1, dated 2020, for
Quick Reference Handbook HJ1-29001-007-001 Rev C.
    This AD also requires the following service information, which the
Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by
reference as of April 18, 2022 (87 FR 14155, March 14, 2022).
     Honda SB-420-56-002, Revision B.
    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 ADDRESSES section.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in the service
information already described, except as discussed under ``Differences
Between this AD and the Service Information.''

Differences Between This AD and the Service Information

    Honda issued temporary revisions to the AFM, QRH, and electronic
checklist (ECL) prior to issuing Honda SB-420-56-002, Revision B, which
specifies replacement of the windshield assemblies. Honda SB-420-56-
002, Revision B, does not specify incorporating the temporary revisions
to the AFM, QRH, and ECL but addresses removal if the temporary
revisions were incorporated. This AD does not require incorporating or
removing the temporary revisions to the ECL because the ECL is not part
of the approved type design of the airplane. All pertinent requirements
would be addressed through the AFM.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    Since this action retains all of the requirements of AD 2022-05-13
and only corrects obvious errors in document citations, it is unlikely
that the FAA will receive any adverse comments or useful information
about this AD from U.S. operators. Accordingly, notice and opportunity
for prior public comment are unnecessary pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B). In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less
than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-1057 and Project Identifier
AD-2022-00526-A'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this final rule because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Bryan
Long, Aviation Safety Engineer, Atlanta ACO Branch, FAA, 1701 Columbia
Avenue, College Park, GA 30337. Any commentary that the FAA receives
which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the
public docket for this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without prior notice and
comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 156 airplanes of U.S.
registry. There are 475 affected windshield

assemblies worldwide, and the FAA has no way of knowing the number of
affected windshield assemblies installed on U.S. airplanes. The
estimated cost on U.S. operators reflects the maximum possible cost
based on the 156 airplanes of U.S. registry. This new AD only retains
the actions required by AD 2022-05-13 and, therefore, adds no new costs
to affected operators.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.

  However, some airplanes may only have one affected windshield assembly and not require replacement of both.

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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

BILLING CODE 4910-13-P


Administrator Lisa P. Jackson   						August 3, 2010

Ariel Rios Building
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W.
Mail Code: 1101A
Washington, DC 20460

Dear Administrator Jackson:

As provided in the Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA"), Petitioners American Bird Conservancy, Association of Avian Veterinarians, Center for Biological Diversity, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, and Project Gutpile request that the EPA adopt regulations prohibiting the manufacture, processing, and distribution in commerce of lead shot, lead bullets, lead fishing sinkers, and other lead-containing fishing gear, pursuant to TSCA (15 U.S.C. § 2605(a)(2)(A)(i)). Such regulations are needed to protect vulnerable wildlife species from the ongoing threat of lead poisoning, as well as to safeguard human health.

TSCA mandates that the EPA must regulate chemical substances where there is a "reasonable basis to conclude" that such substances "present an unreasonable risk of injury to health and or the environment" (15 U.S.C. § 2605(a)). TSCA authorizes the EPA to prohibit "the manufacturing, processing, or distribution in commerce" of a chemical substance for a particular use or uses (15 U.S.C. § 2605(a)(2)(A)(i)).  The EPA has already declared that lead is a toxic substance, and has removed nearly all lead containing products from the market.

We present in the attached petition nearly 500 peer reviewed scientific articles documenting the toxic effects of lead on wildlife species and conclude that the lead components of bullets, shotgun pellets, fishing weights and lures pose an unreasonable risk of injury to human and wildlife health and to the environment.

Ammunition and tackle manufacturers now market a wide variety of non-lead, non-toxic bullets, shotgun pellets, and fishing tackle that can replace lead projectiles and weights.
The EPA has long held that whenever a toxic substance customarily used in the manufacture of commercial products can be replaced by a nontoxic substitute, the precautionary principle dictates that articles made of the toxic substance should be removed from the market. All hunting and fishing gear containing lead could economically be replaced with non-toxic alternatives, thus making a strong argument for EPA-regulatory action.

The petitioners understand that EPA is specifically prohibited from regulating ammunition or firearms under TSCA, but that toxic components of ammunition can be regulated if non-toxic alternatives are commercially available.  The petitioners have waited until non-toxic alternatives have become available to submit this petition in an effort to clearly indicate that this petition is not an attempt to regulate ammunition or firearms.

Sincerely,

Michael Fry, PhD
American Bird Conservancy
Washington DC.
