CDX Related Questions
Do I need to register with CDX to submit or to work on section 5 notices?
            Yes, you must be registered with CDX and to have a user role approved to work online or to submit Section 5 Notices and Supports forms.  Please refer to the CDX Registration user guide for any other questions you may have.

            You can use the e-PMN Thick Client (eTSCA) to work on PMN files locally.  The xxx.pmn_tsca file (the PMN form) can uploaded into the online application.
Where do I go to register with CDX?
            https://cdx.epa.gov is the website to register and access the Section 5 Notices and Supports submission software.

            There is also a CDX Registration user guide available on the New Chemicals website for quick tutorials regarding the CDX registration process. http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems/e-PMN/e-PMN-index.htm
Can I be registered under more than one company name? What company name should I register for?
            Yes, you may register for more than one company name, and can select which organization you will be working under when logging into your CDX account.

            In addition, multi-Authorized Official (AO) functionality means that all AOs registered under the same company name will be able to view the forms that other AOs within that company and Agents/Consultants working for the company have created.

            The role sponsorship functionality means that if Agents/Consultants create a form, all sponsors of the company he/she represents can also see the form.

            To keep the forms secure, select a unique company name to work under (e.g., Company A and Company A, Coatings Division).  But remember, that company name will populate on the forms when submitting.
What is LexisNexis?
            LexisNexis is a third-party identity proofing service that verifies a user's identity.
What if I do not pass ID proofing with LexisNexis?  What do I have to do?
            If the LexisNexis identity validation fails, the user is required to sign and mail a paper electronic signature agreement (ESA) which may take ten (10) business days to process.
If I have been approved for the TSCA workflow, do I need to reregister in CDX to work in the new e-PMN under CSPP workflow?
            If you have been approved for the TSCA workflow, you do not need to re-register in CDX. You will, however, need to add the CSPP program service and update your user role. You have already been identity-proofed and have an approved ESA on-file under the old system.  However, you must electronically sign a new ESA.

            It is not necessary for legacy CDR registered persons to re-register in CDX; you may, however, need to update your user role.
What role should I register for in CDX?
            There are six user roles: 3 roles are associated with the main forms and its supporting forms (Primary Authorized Official, Primary Support, Primary Agent/Consultant) and 3 roles are associated with the secondary forms (i.e. Joint or Letter of Support) (Secondary Authorized Official, Secondary Support, and Secondary Agent/Consultant).

            To determine which role is best for you, please refer to the CDX Registration guide posted on the New Chemicals website; http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems/e-PMN/e-PMN-index.htm.
Can I have more than one role in CDX?
            It is possible to register for more than one role under a single user ID. You can register under all 6 roles, but under different user IDs.

            However, when you access the application, you can only access the application under one user role at a time.
Do Support persons need their identities validated?
            Since a Support user will not have the ability to sign/submit data to EPA, they do not need to undergo the same level of validation as Authorized Officials or Agents/Consultants.
What does Primary mean (AO, Agent/Consultant or Support)?
            Primary is a term used to designate CDX registrants who wish to access and submit main submissions and support documents.  Main submissions include: the PMN form, the Biotechnology form, the NOC form, the Bona Fide form and the Alternative Control Measures form.
What does Secondary mean (AO, Agent/Consultant or Support)?
            Secondary is a term used to designate CDX registrants who wish to access and submit Joint and Letter of Support submissions.
Role Function Questions
What functions can Authorized Officials (AO) perform in Section 5 Notices and Supports (e-PMN)?
            All AOs can create, edit, delete, designate Agents/Consultants, designate Supports, unlock, and download the Copy of Record (CoR).

            The submitting Primary AO is the person from the submitting company who legally signs, certifies, and submits the initial Notice forms: PMN, NOC, Biotechnology, or Bona Fide.  The AO can also submit the Alternative Control Measures (ACM) form and the support form.

            The submitting Secondary AO is the person from the joint/Letter of Support company who legally signs, certifies, and submits joint or Letter of Support submissions.

            All persons can save, validate to check for errors, and preview documents in progress.
Who can submit an original/initial submission of the PMN form, biotech form, NOC form, or Bona Fide form?
            The initial submission for these types of notices must be submitted by a Primary Authorized Official from the company who is authorized to legally sign, certify, and submit the initial notice.

            Any subsequent amendments to these forms may be submitted by any AO of the submitting company or Agent/Consultant assigned under that company name.
What functions can an Agent/Consultant perform in Section 5 Notices and Supports (e-PMN)?
            Agents/Consultants can create, edit, delete, unlock, and download the Copy of Record (CoR) for all forms to which they have access and know the passphrase.

            The Agents/Consultants cannot submit the initial Notice forms: PMN, NOC, Biotechnology, or Bona Fide forms. The Agent /Consultant can submit the initial ACM form, all amended forms and Support forms.

            All persons can save, validate to check for errors, and preview documents in progress.
What functions can a Support person perform in Section 5 Notices and Supports (e-PMN)?
            Support persons can only edit documents that are in progress and which have been assigned to them by their Authorized Official.
            All persons can save, validate to check for errors, and preview documents in progress.
Who can create and submit a support form?
            The role of the Support person has changed with the Section 5 Notices and Supports Thin Client application. The Support person will no longer have the ability to create and submit Support forms in the new Section 5 Notices and Supports application. Only Authorized Officials or Primary Agents/Consultants can create and submit Support forms. Registered Support persons will only be able to edit form information once they have been assigned to and given access to the form by an AO.
What can I submit using the Support form?
            A Support form includes the following subtypes: 'Amendment,' 'Suspension Request,' 'Test Data,' 'Transfer of Ownership,' 'Withdrawal Request,' and 'Other Correspondence.'  The purpose of the Support form is to provide additional information, or supplement information to the PMN form.

            For the most part, the Support form has not changed except with regards to submitting amendments to the PMN and Biotechnology form. If you submitted an original Notice form using the Thin Client, you cannot amend the original using the Support form; you must unlock the original notice make changes to the information and resubmit.
Security Questions
What is a passphrase?
            The passphrase is a text string used to encrypt a form (e.g. PMN, Biotechnology, NOC, Support, Bona Fide, or ACM). If you want to edit a form, unlock a submission, or download a Copy of Record (CoR), you will need the passphrase.  Only Authorized Officials or Agents/Consultants can create passphrase for forms. This passphrase can be shared with whomever they would like to provide access to open the forms.

            If you forget the passphrase for a submission in progress, you must recreate the form and resubmit. If you want to download the CoR of a particular document and you forgot the passphrase, you will need to contact EPA and request a copy.

            Also, a passphrase is reusable, so the same passphrase can be used on all forms.
Who creates the passphrase?
            The person who creates the form creates the passphrase for that form. A passphrase is created or entered on the 'Create Passphrase' or 'Enter Passphrase' screens, respectively.

            Since the passphrase cannot be changed once it has been assigned to a form, the passphrase should be decided upon before the form is created amongst members who will be working on the form. You are encouraged to create a passphrase that is easy to remember because it cannot be recovered if lost or forgotten. The same passphrase can be reused for multiple forms. For example, you may want to use the same passphrase for all forms associated with a case.
Where is my data stored?
            The data will be stored encrypted on the EPA server when logged into the Section 5 Notices and Supports application.

            Otherwise, if you are saving a Copy of Record, this will be stored on your local hard drive, and you are responsible for the security of these items via your computer's security measures.
Is the data encrypted?
            Data stored on the EPA server is encrypted by a passphrase.

            Once the Copy or Record is downloaded, it can be stored locally unencrypted.
Document Access Questions
How do I assign support persons to work on a document?
            If an Authorized Official (AO) wants one of his/her Support persons (as designated within CDX) to work on a form, the AO must assign the form to this person. Forms are assigned using the 'User Management' tab in the Section 5 Notices and Supports application.

            The AO can select the form alias from the 'Form Alias' drop-down menu on the 'User Management' screen and then select the specific Support person(s) from the 'Unassigned' list. Once the specific Support person(s) is/are assigned, the assigned form will appear in a Support person's view when they log into the Section 5 Thin Client.

            The AO will need to provide the Support person with the passphrase in order for the Support person to access the form for editing.

            Agents / Consultants are not able to assign Support persons to a form.
Do I have to give access to a support person for each document separately?
            Yes.  If the AO wants a Support person to have access to one or more forms, the AO must assign access to each form, one at a time, via the 'User Management' tab. It is not possible to assign a Support to multiple forms at one time.
I am an Authorized official who created a form in the new system.  Who has access to my data, i.e., can open the document with the passphrase?
            The following persons have access to the document: 1) Any Authorized Officials registered under the submitting company. 2) Any Agent/Consultant or Support person associated with an AO of the submitting company who has been given access by the AO.

            This multi-AO functionality allows other Authorized Officials within a submitting company to view forms that other AOs have created.
I am an Agent/Consultant who created a form in the new system.  Who has access to my data, i.e., can open the document with the passphrase?
            When an Agent/Consultant logs into CDX, they must select which company they will be working under.  When the Agent/Consultant creates a new document, he/she and any Authorized Official from the selected company can then open the document with the passphrase.
Who can only see my forms in the forms view?
         a. If you are an Authorized official for Company A, you can see all forms created under Company A.
         b. If you are an Agent/Consultant for an AO from Company A, you can see all forms that you created and all forms created by your AO to which you were assigned.
         c. If you are a Support person for an AO from Company A, you can see all forms which were assigned to you by your AO.
If I am an Authorized Official (AO) and I leave the company, how can another AO from the same company have access to my documents?
            Any AO registered under the same company has access to all forms created by any AO of that company (i.e., the forms will be listed in the forms view). To open a form, the AO will need to have the passphrase.  Remember, passphrases cannot be recovered once lost or forgotten. It is always a good practice to download the Copy of Record to your local hard drive for each form sent to EPA for future reference.

            In addition, if the sponsoring AO of an Agent/Consultant leaves the company, then the Agent/Consultant must find another sponsoring AO from the company as their role sponsorship will have been revoked.
If my company changes name, how do I access old company files?
            Users should maintain old company names within CDX registration and keep the passphrase for all documents. Make sure you download the Copy of Record and securely maintain records outside of CDX in case access to the files online is no longer available.
What if my company bought rights from another company's chemicals, how will I get access to the submission?
            The second company (company B) that bought the chemical should request information that was saved locally (i.e., the Copy of Record) from the company whose chemical rights were purchased (company A). Company B will not have access to Company A's documents in the Section 5 Notices and Supports application.

            If company B is not able to obtain this information from Company A, please request this information from EPA.
Result of Submission Questions
When is the Case number assigned?
            After a form is submitted to EPA, the Section 5 Notices and Supports application will assign a case number within minutes. The case number will appear within the Section 5 Notices and Supports `Forms' screen, but it may be necessary to refresh the page by selecting the Browser refresh button.

            For non-consolidated submissions a single case number is assigned; for consolidated submissions, multiple case numbers are assigned.

            After you submit a form to EPA and the submission has been successfully received, the system will provide a Copy of Record (CoR) represented by a green arrow icon.
Will I still receive an acknowledgement letter?
            Acknowledgement letters will continue to be sent by U.S. mail.
How do I know that EPA has received my submission?
            In the previous process using the eTSCA/PMN Thick Client software, users would receive emails regarding the CDX transaction ID, and another email with a confirmation of the Copy of Record.

            With the new Section 5 Notices and Supports Thin Client, the application generates a Copy of Record (obtained by selecting the green arrow icon) within several minutes of submitting a form, which indicates that EPA has received the form. The application will also generate a single case number for a non-consolidated submission, or multiple case numbers for a consolidated submission.  No emails will be generated in this process.
Why is it important to download my COR?
            It is very important to download the Copy of Record (CoR). The information stored on EPA's server is encrypted using the passphrase. If something happens to the form on the EPA server, or to the passphrase, or to the Authorized Official, etc. the document cannot be recovered. A downloaded file, however, is not encrypted and easily shared.
Document Creation/Population Questions
How is a Section 5 notice created?
            The Authorized Official or Agent/Consultant logs into CDX and selects the Primary Authorized Official or Agent/Consultant role within the CSPP workflow.  Select 'TSCA Section 5 Notices and Supports - e-PMN' from the CISS drop-down menu.

            Users will then have the option to create the following notices and support forms from the Forms screen:  'Premanufacture Notice (PMN),' 'Biotechnology,' 'Notice of Commencement (NOC),' 'Support,' 'Bona Fide,' and/or 'Alternative Control Measures (ACM)' by selecting the form type from the drop-down menu and clicking the 'Start New Form' button.

            For specific steps on creating a new notice or support form, refer to the applicable Section 5 Notices and Supports user guide.
How do I create a Letter of Support or Joint Submission?
            Third party submitters will receive an email from the main submitter.  In the email will be a unique identifier that Secondary Authorized Official will use to create the Letter of Support or Joint Submission.  The Secondary AO will launch the TSCA Section 5 Notices and Supports Thin Client application and from the forms screen, select to create a new document.  The system will ask for the unique identifier  -  it is suggested that this identifier be copied from the email as it can be quite complex.  After entering the identifier and a passphrase, the form will appear where the Secondary AO can then either fill out the PMN information, attach supporting information in a file, or enter the supporting information in the cover letter.

            ***Please note that the joint or Letter of Support document cannot be submitted to EPA until the main submission has be filed.
In the Thick Client, there was a Profiler to store contact information which allowed for easy download of that information.  Does the new online version of the e-PMN have something equivalent?
            The TSCA Section 5 Notices and Supports Thin Client application does not have an equivalent profiler feature. However, there is an option for the person logged into a form to populate the agent or technical contact information with their CDX registration information. If the person filling out the form is not the agent/technical contact then this information will need to be entered manually. The submitting person's information will automatically populate within the form during the submission process.

            Note: a user may use Google Chrome as a browser which allows you to auto-populate information that is consistently re-used.
What is a form Alias?  How is it used?
            When you create a form, you will be given the option to provide a user defined alias for the form.  The form alias is a text description entered by a user into a field in the form to assist in locating and organizing multiple forms within the application. The form alias can be edited by any user who has access to the form.

            As a hint, you may want to define a naming convention to be used for all documents under one case number.

            Within the application you may view forms in a dashboard view. The form alias is also used on the 'User Management' page to identify and assign specific forms to Support users or company registered Agents/Consultants.
For sections of the e-PMN displayed in an accordion style, do I have to fill in all required fields to save the form?
            There are several screens within the Section 5 Notices and Supports application which will not allow you to move forward without filling out all required data. This is especially true for sections of the form which utilize expandable/collapsible field sets. All required data must be entered in the expandable/collapsible field set before the field set data can be saved. Screens without expandable/collapsible field sets can be saved and users can move to another screen using the links within the navigation tree instead of using the 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons.

            However, there are some forms within the application (i.e., Letters of Support or Joint Submissions) where the validation varies, and not all fields may be required within an expandable/collapsible field set.
How do I enter the Authorized Official information on the form?
            The submitting company Authorize Official's information is not manually entered; the information will be pre-populated on the 'Submitting Official Information' page during the submission process.

            The fields on the submitting AO screen are not editable.  Any changes to the AO information must be made within CDX registration information.

            If you are not the correct person to submit data to EPA or if the CDX registration data is incorrect, you may cancel the submission process at any time.
How do I create a multicomponent (discrete mixture) submission?
            The new Section 5 Notices and Supports application can easily accommodate multi-component chemical submissions. A multi-component chemical submission is one where two or more chemicals are always generated together in one pot and are never isolated.

            Add each chemical component by clicking the 'Add Chemical Component' button on the 'Class 1 or 2 Chemical Substances' or 'Polymer Identification Information' screen.
How do I create a consolidated submission?
            In order to create a consolidated submission, the user needs to create a file folder for the first chemical.  Subsequent consolidated chemicals are generated by clicking the 'Add Consolidated Chemical' link to add a new set of chemical screens within the navigation tree.

            Chemicals with similar chemical ID information (PMN pages 4, 5 and 6) can be copied by clicking the 'Copy' link within the navigation tree. However, neither the chemical name nor CASRN will be copied. Attachments are also removed and must be uploaded again.
How do I delete a consolidated chemical?
            To delete a chemical within a consolidated submission, click the 'Remove' link (red 'X' icon) within the navigation tree within the folder for the particular chemical you would like to remove. After clicking the 'Remove' link there is no way to recover the deleted chemical folder.

            Please note: the 'Remove' link is only available if the user is not currently working on one of the selected chemical's screens.
How do I import data into the new e-PMN software that was starting in the eTSCA PMN software?
            The XML of the data stored in your eTSCA file (xxx.pmn_tsca) can be imported into a new Section 5 Notice and Supports PMN form.  Select the "Upload XML" button on the bottom right of the application and then select "Upload Archive file".  Select the eTSCA file to upload
How do I enter microorganism data into the Bona Fide form?
            To enter microorganism data into the Bona Fide form of the software, select the Class 1 or 2 option then fill out the rest of the form as if the substance was a Class 2 substance.
Where do I enter my specific site information?
            Site information will be stored in CDX under the Authorized Official's user account or the Agent/Consultant's user account.  You can learn how to add a facility to a user's account in the User's Guides.  Once the site has been added, it will be available from a dropdown list in the PMN form under sites controlled by the submitter and under sites controlled by others or on the NOC form.
Amend Questions
When can I "amend" a submission versus when do I have to create a new submission?
            EPA will notify the submitter to say if the submission can be amended or if the submission is incomplete. A submission marked as incomplete by EPA cannot be "revised" or "amended"; a new form must be created and submitted.  The resubmission will be given a new day 1 and a new case number.
What if I forget my passphrase to my original notice and then need to make an amendment?
            If a form was created online in the Section 5 Notices and Supports application, and the passphrase was forgotten, the form cannot be opened or recovered. To create an amendment, create a Support form and designate it as "Other Correspondence."  Attach or describe any amended information.
How do I amend "new" submissions?  How do I amend an "older" submission?
            The procedure for amending a form is dependent on how the original form was created and submitted to EPA.

            1) Amendments to submissions originally created and submitted using the online Section 5 Notices and Supports application are made by unlocking submissions on the 'Section 5 Notices and Supports Forms' screen, making changes, providing a reason for the amendment and resubmitting.

            2) Amendments to submissions sent to EPA using the eTSCA EPA Thick Client are submitted via a Support form and selecting 'Amendment' as the type of support.
Modifications Questions
When do I create a Modification to an LVE or LoREX instead of "amending" the original submission?
            An amendment is typically a change to an original notice during the 30-day review period for an LVE or a LoREX submission. After the 30-day review period has expired and the changes constitute a Modification as defined by 40 CFR 723, the submitter must create a new Premanufacture Notice (PMN) form and select LVE Modification or LoREX Modification as the form type.  These Modifications will receive a new case number (LM or XM) and a new 30-day review period.

            If there are questions, contact the TSCA hotline at<PHONE_NUMBER> or facsimile at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
I need to submit a Modification to EPA.  When do I use a PMN form to modify an LVE or LoREX and when do I use a support form (Communication) to EPA (e.g., a j(6) letter)?
            For an already-approved LVE, you can send a notification in the form of a letter as a support document (select Other Correspondence as the Support form subtype) to the existing LVE and need not file a request for modification requiring 30-day review by the Agency if your site change meets the criteria of  40 CFR Sec. 723.50(j)(6).  The (j)(6) notification must be received by the Agency before the 30th day after first manufacture at the new site.
            If your changes to the LVE or LoREX do not meet the criteria for 40 CFR Sec. 723.50(j)(6), use the PMN form and select LVE Modification or LoREX Modification as your PMN form subtype.  These modifications receive a new case number and will go through the full 30-day review.
Attachment Questions
Do I need to upload my sanitized attachments at the same time that I upload my CBI attachments?
            The online application performs immediate validation to ensure that the CBI files have sanitized files attached. Therefore, if you mark your attachment as CBI, you must attach the sanitized file.  If a user does not want to upload the sanitized file along with the CBI file, the user may mark the file as non-CBI and then later change the CBI status when the user is ready to upload the sanitized file. However, do not forget to go back and change the CBI status of the attachment if you choose to do this option.
Is there a file size limitation for my attachments?
            There is no actual file size limit, but you are limited to your network bandwidth and the application timeout of ten (10) minutes per single file upload.
Will the software sanitize my attachments?
            No, the application will not sanitize attachments; the software only sanitizes fielded data. Sanitized attachment files will need to be created outside of the Section 5 Notices and Supports application. In order for data in the form fields to be sanitized, you will need to flag the specific data fields as CBI by checking the associated 'CBI' checkbox.
XML Questions
When I am working online, can I save my work in progress locally?
            Within the current eTSCA Thick Client, users are able to save their working files to their hard drive. With the new Thin Client, in-progress forms will be created and saved online.

            A user can export a partial XML in the Thin Client. Only the fields that were populated in the Thin Client will be exported  -  not any attachments. Please note that, if the field was not populated in the Thin Client, blank fields will not be available in the exported XML file.

            To export data to XML, select the "Upload XML" button on the bottom left of the application.  Then select "Export XML".
Can I use the eTSCA Client software to create my documents?
            The eTSCA Thick Client will not be removed from a person's computer if was previously installed. The option to download the eTSCA Client lite will also be available from the New Chemicals website.  However, this software will not be maintained. Users will be able to save forms created within the Thick Client (PMN form only, saved as xxx.pmn_tsca) and upload them to the Thin Client using the upload XML functionality. Attachments uploaded within the Thick Client will not be imported and must be reattached in the Thin Client.
What is an XML schema?
            According to WIKIPEDIA, Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.  The data fields defined in the XML schema can allow users to upload XML data into a blank PMN form, or export in-progress PMN form data into an XML file.

            The XML file allows users to work on forms outside of the Thin Client application, or to populate forms for similar chemicals.  At this time, XML can only be uploaded for documents created using the Thick Client (eTSCA).
Where can the XML schema be found?
            The Section 5 Notices and Supports extensible markup language (XML) schema for the PMN form will be available on the New Chemical Programs website: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems/e-PMN/e-PMN-index.htm
Can I import my data which was created from the Thick Client?
            Yes, but only for the PMN form; PMN forms (xxx.pmn_tsca) are uploaded into a blank PMN form within the Thin Client using the upload XML functionality. Attachments will need to be re-uploaded one at a time.
Can my forms created in CDX which are in progress be stored locally?
            Yes, partial XML files can be downloaded and saved locally.  Export the XML by selecting the "Upload XML" button on the bottom of the application.
Can I work behind my firewall?
            Yes; the purpose of the XML schema for the PMN form is for users to work locally and offline.  The XML can then be uploaded into a PMN form, attachments can be uploaded, and the form can be validated to make sure that there are no errors, and then submitted to EPA.

            However, this function is not working at this time.
Will CBI be designated with the curvy brackets in some text fields?
            Some of the large text fields in the eTSCA downloaded software allowed CBI to be designated within the field by surrounding the text with braces {e.g., enter CBI here}).  With the new Section 5 Notices and Supports application Thin Client, these fields are now considered to be entirely CBI or entirely non-CBI by selecting a single CBI checkbox for the field.
What is an original Notice submission?
            An original Notice submission is defined as the first time a Premanufacture Notice (PMN), Biotechnology, Notice of Commencement (NOC), or Bona Fide form is ever submitted to EPA. Subsequent changes to these forms are referred to as amended or modified notices.

            Support forms or Alternative Control Measure (ACM) forms will never be considered an original form.
Is there a copy of the PMN form available outside of the software for informational purposes and not for submission?
            The Premanufacture Notice (PMN) PDF will be included as a link on the New Chemicals Program website (http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems/e-PMN/e-PMN-index.htm).  A Notice of Commencement (NOC) PDF will also be posted on the website.
If I find my substance in SRS, does this mean my chemical is on the TSCA Inventory?
            No. If you find your chemical in the Substance Registry Services (SRS), this does not necessarily mean that the chemical is on the TSCA Inventory.

            If you are searching by CAS number on the public TSCA Inventory or SRS and the chemical is not found, it could be located on the confidential portion of the TSCA Inventory.  In which case, a Bona Fide form can be created and submitted within the Section 5 Notices and Supports application to have EPA determine whether or not a chemical is located on the confidential portion of the TSCA Inventory.

Background and Purpose

    On May 23, 2009 and May 24, 2009, U.S. Naval Air Station Patuxent
River, Maryland will sponsor the ``Patuxent River Air Expo '09''. The
public event will consist of military and civilian aircraft performing
low-flying, high speed precision maneuvers and aerial stunts over both
the airfield at Naval Air Station Patuxent River and the waters of the
Patuxent River. Federal Aviation Administration restrictions require
that portions of the Blue Angels and aerobatic performance boxes take
place over the waters of the Patuxent River. In addition to the air
show dates, on May 21, 2009 and May 22, 2009, military and civilian
aircraft performing in the air show will conduct practice and
demonstration maneuvers and stunts over both the airfield at Naval Air
Station Patuxent River and specified waters of the Patuxent River. To
provide for the safety of participants, spectators and transiting
vessels, the Coast Guard will temporarily restrict vessel traffic in
the event area during the air shows, practices and demonstrations, and
during other scheduled activities related to the air show.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish temporary special local
regulations on specified waters of the Patuxent River. The regulated
area includes waters of

the lower Patuxent River, located between Fishing Point and the base of
the break wall marking the entrance to the East Seaplane Basin at Naval
Air Station Patuxent River, which is approximately 500 yards long and
900 yards wide. The regulated area also includes waters of the lower
Patuxent River, located between Hog Point and Cedar Point, which is
approximately 2,000 yards long and 167 yards wide. The temporary
special local regulations will be in effect from 9 a.m. on May 21, 2009
through 6 p.m. on May 24, 2009. The effect will be to restrict general
navigation in the regulated area during the event and during scheduled
activities related to the air show. Except for persons or vessels
authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or vessel may
enter or remain in the regulated area during the enforcement period.
The Patrol Commander will notify the public of specific enforcement
times by Marine Radio Safety Broadcast. A 75-yard restricted area,
enforced by the Commanding Officer, U.S. Naval Air Station, Patuxent
River, Maryland, is described in Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations,
Section 334.180. These regulations, extending beyond the restricted
area, are needed to control vessel traffic during the event to enhance
safety of participants, spectators and transiting vessels.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    Although this proposed rule prevents traffic from transiting a
portion of the Patuxent River during the air show event, the effect of
this regulation will not be significant due to the limited duration
that the regulated area will be in effect and the extensive advance
notifications that will be made to the maritime community via marine
information broadcasts, local radio stations and area newspapers so
mariners can adjust their plans accordingly. In some cases vessel
traffic may be able to transit the regulated area when the Coast Guard
Patrol Commander deems it is safe to do so.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in this segment of
the Patuxent River during the event. This regulation will not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because it
will be enforced only during the air show. In some cases, vessels may
be able to safely transit around or through the regulated area at
various times with the permission of the Patrol Commander. Before the
enforcement period, the Coast Guard will issue maritime advisories so
mariners can adjust their plans accordingly.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact Fifth Coast Guard District
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT at the beginning of this
rule. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this proposed rule would not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship

between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 0023.1 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and made a
preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. Therefore, this rule is categorically
excluded, under section 2.B.2. Figure 2-1, paragraph 34(h), of the
Instruction and neither an environmental assessment nor an
environmental impact statement is required. This rule involves
implementation of regulations within 33 CFR Part 100 that apply to
organized marine events on the navigable waters of the United States
that may have potential for negative impact on the safety or other
interest of waterway users and shore side activities in the event area.
The category of water activities includes but is not limited to sail
boat regattas, boat parades, power boat racing, swimming events, crew
racing, and sail board racing. A preliminary environmental analysis
check list supporting this determination will be available in the
docket where indicated under the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' section of this preamble. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to discovery of a significant environmental
impact from this proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100

    Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 390.15(b),
requires motor carriers to make certain specified records and
information pertaining to CMV accidents available to an authorized
representative or special agent of the FMCSA upon request or as part of
an inquiry. Interstate motor carriers are required to maintain an
``accident register'' consisting of information concerning all
``accidents'' involving their CMVs (49 CFR 390.15(b) (see ``Definition:
Accident'' below). Motor carriers must report accidents that occur in
interstate and intrastate commerce. The following information must be
recorded for each accident: Date, location, driver name, number of
injuries, number of fatalities, and whether certain dangerous hazardous
materials were released. In addition, the motor carrier must maintain
copies of all accident reports required by insurers or governmental
entities. Motor carriers must maintain this information for three years
after the date of the accident. Section 390.15 does not require motor
carriers to submit any information or records to FMCSA or any other
party.
    This ICR supports the DOT strategic goal of safety. By requiring
motor carriers to gather and record information concerning CMV
accidents, FMCSA is strengthening its ability to assess the safety
performance of motor carriers. This information is a valuable resource
in Agency initiatives to prevent, and reduce the severity of, CMV
crashes.
    Title: Accident Recordkeeping Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0009.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved information
collection.
    Respondents: Motor Carriers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 520,000 motor carriers.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 89,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 18 minutes.
    Expiration Date: May 31, 2014.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 26,700 hours [89,000 motor carriers
recording an accident x 18 minutes per response/60 minutes in an hour =
26,700].
    Definition: ``Accident'' is an occurrence involving a CMV operating
on a public road which results in: (1) A fatality, (2) bodily injury to
a person who, as a result of the injury, receives medical treatment
away from the scene of the accident, or (3) one or more motor vehicles
being towed from the scene (49 CFR 390.5).
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the FMCSA's performance; (2) the accuracy
of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the FMCSA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that
the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the
collected information. The Agency will summarize or include your
comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.

    Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87 on: February 6, 2014.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Airbus SAS Model A318 and A319 series airplanes; Model A320-
211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-
111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by a report that during a maintenance check,
cracks were found in a stiffener of a certain lateral window frame.
This proposed AD would require repetitive high frequency eddy current
(HFEC) inspections for cracking of a stiffener of a certain lateral
window frame, and applicable related investigative and corrective
actions, as specified in a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD,
which will be incorporated by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 8,
2019.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket
Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
     Hand Delivery: Deliver to Mail address above between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
    For the material identified in this proposed AD that will be
incorporated by reference (IBR), contact the EASA, at Konrad-Adenauer-
Ufer 3, 50668 Cologne, Germany; telephone +49 221 89990 1000; email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2019-0481;
Product Identifier 2019-NM-058-AD'' at the beginning of your comments.
The FAA specifically invites comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this NPRM. The FAA will
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this
NPRM based on those comments.
    The FAA will post all comments, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide.
The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact the agency receives about this NPRM.

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0067, dated March 27, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0067'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A318 and A319 series airplanes;
Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and
Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes.
The MCAI states:

    Several occurrences were reported where, during a maintenance
check, cracks were found at the lateral sliding window of the
fuselage FR4 [frame 4] upper attachment on both RH [right-hand] and
LH [left-hand] sides.
    This condition if not detected and corrected, could reduce the
structural integrity of the fuselage.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus developed
Airworthiness Limitation Item (ALI) task 531105, providing
instructions for a detailed inspection (DET), or a special detailed
inspection (SDI) using high frequency eddy current (HFEC) method.
Following further analysis of the reported events, Airbus published
the applicable inspection SB [service bulletin], providing
instructions to accomplish the SDI, with updated threshold and
intervals, and not allowing accomplishment of the DET as alternative
to the SDI.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive SDI of the affected parts and, depending on findings,
accomplishment of applicable [related investigative and] corrective
action(s).

    Related investigative actions include an HFEC inspection and a
detailed visual inspection of the reworked area to ensure a crack-free
condition. Corrective actions include reworking the horizontal upper
stiffener, a modification (a cut-out of the sliding window frame
stiffener), and repair.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0067 describes procedures for repetitive HFEC
inspections of the horizontal upper stiffener of the lateral window
frame on the RH and LH sides for any cracking, and applicable related
investigative and corrective actions. This material is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section.

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 the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the FAA
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.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2019-0067 described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD. This proposed AD also would require sending
certain inspection results to Airbus.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a process to
use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information for
compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. As a result,
EASA AD 2019-0067 will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final
rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with the
provisions specified in EASA AD 2019-0067, through that incorporation,
except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory
text of this proposed AD. Service information specified in EASA AD

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 1,291 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 work-hours x $85 per hour = $765...........................              $0             $765         $987,615
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:

                                    Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions *
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        Labor cost                             Parts cost             Cost per  product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 13 work-hours x $85 per hour = Up to $1,105.........              $0   Up to $1,105.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Table does not include estimated costs for reporting and on-condition repairs. The FAA has received no
  definitive data that would enable the agency to provide cost estimates for the on-condition repairs specified
  in this proposed AD.

    The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the proposed on-condition reporting requirement in this
proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these
figures, the FAA estimates the cost of reporting the inspection results
on U.S. operators to be $85 per product.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this NPRM is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this NPRM has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this NPRM is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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.
    This proposed 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

    The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

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

Airbus SAS: Docket No. FAA-2019-0481; Product Identifier 2019-NM-
058-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments by August 8, 2019.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model airplanes identified in
paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), and (c)(4) of this AD,
certificated in any category.
    (1) Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes.
    (2) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133
airplanes.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a report that during a maintenance
check, cracks were found on an upper stiffener of the lateral window
frame at the frame 4 upper attachment. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address cracking of the horizontal upper stiffener of the lateral
window frame, which could reduce the structural integrity of the
fuselage.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2019-
0067, dated March 27, 2019 (``EASA AD 2019-0067'').

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2019-0067

    (1) For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements
of this AD: Where EASA AD 2019-0067 refers to its effective date,
this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    (2) The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2019-0067 does not apply
to this AD.
    (3) Paragraph (7) of EASA AD 2019-0067 specifies to report
certain inspection results to Airbus. For this AD, report those
inspection results at the applicable time specified in paragraph
(h)(3)(i) or (h)(3)(ii) of this AD.
    (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 done before the effective date of
this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the effective date
of this AD.

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
directly to the International Section, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (j)(2) of this AD. Information
may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Before using any
approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal inspector, or
lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the local flight
standards district office/certificate holding district office.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International
Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus SAS's
EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the
approval must include the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): For any service information

Those procedures and tests that are not identified as RC may be
deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with the
operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining
approval of an AMOC, provided the procedures and tests identified as
RC can be done and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition. Any substitutions or changes to procedures or tests
identified as RC require approval of an AMOC.
    (4) Paperwork Reduction Act Burden Statement: A federal agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information
displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number
for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public reporting for
this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 1
hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
completing and reviewing the collection of information. All
responses to this collection of information are mandatory. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing
the burden should be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave.
