Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft and Sikorsky Aircraft
Corporation Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Sikorsky Aircraft Model S-61L, S-61N, S-61NM, and S-61R helicopters and
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-61A, S-61D, S-61E, and S-61V
restricted category helicopters. This AD was prompted by the
manufacturer determining that there may be arm assemblies in service
that have accumulated 15,000 or more hours time-in-service (TIS), which
exceeds the service life limit for this component. This AD requires
reviewing the mixer unit component log card or equivalent record and,
depending on the number of hours TIS, calculating the remaining life of
the arm assembly or removing the arm assembly from service. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective May 7, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 7, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Sikorsky Aircraft Model
S-61L, S-61N, S-61NM, and S-61R helicopters and Sikorsky Aircraft
Corporation Model S-61A, S-61D, S-61E, and S-61V restricted category
helicopters, with an arm assembly part number S6140-62614-009,
installed. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on October 26,
2020 (85 FR 67692). The FAA learned from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
that Sikorsky S-61 Helicopter Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 61B General-
1, Revision No. Z, dated November 13, 2018, which is applicable to
Sikorsky Model S-61L, S-61N, S-61NM, and S-61R helicopters, failed to
include the life limit of the redesigned arm assembly. As a result,
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation determined that there may be arm
assemblies in service with 15,000 or more hours TIS, which exceeds the
service life limit for this component. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to
require reviewing the mixer unit component log card or equivalent
record and, depending on the hours TIS of the arm assembly, calculating
the remaining life of the arm assembly or removing the arm assembly
from service. The proposed actions are intended to prevent an arm
assembly from remaining in service beyond its life limit. This
condition, if not addressed, could result in reduced or loss of tail
rotor control and reduced control of the helicopter.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

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

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Except for
the minor editorial changes of updating the contact information to
obtain service information identified in this final rule and updating
the contact information for the FAA, this AD is adopted as proposed in
the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Sikorsky S-61 Helicopter ASB 61B40-11, Basic
Issue, dated March 2, 2020. This service information describes
procedures for a one-time inspection of the mixer unit component log
card to verify the arm assembly life limit and, if the life limit has
been exceeded, to replace the arm assembly for Sikorsky Model S-61L, S-
61N, and S-61NM helicopters.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA also reviewed Sikorsky S-61 Helicopter ASB 61B General-1,
Revision AA, dated February 24, 2020. This service information
summarizes and lists parts with mandatory retirement times and
inspections for Sikorsky Model S-61L, S-61N, and S-61NM helicopters.

Differences Between This AD and the Service Information

    The ASB is effective only for Sikorsky Aircraft Model S-61L, S-61N,
and S-61NM helicopters. In addition to these helicopters, the
applicability of this AD also includes Sikorsky Aircraft Model S-61R
helicopters and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-61A, S-61D, S-
61E, and S-61V restricted category helicopters. The FAA is expanding
the applicability to prevent the installation of arm assemblies that
have exceeded their life limits on helicopters with a similar type
design as those helicopters affected by the ASB.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 13 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this AD.
    Reviewing the mixer unit component log or equivalent record takes
about 1 work-hour for an estimated cost of $85 per helicopter and
$1,105 for the U.S. fleet. Adding the arm assembly entry and determine
the remaining life takes about 1 work-hour for an estimated cost of $85
per helicopter and $1,105 for the U.S. fleet. Replacing the arm
assembly takes about 9 work-hours and parts cost about $5,035, for an
estimated cost of $5,800 per arm assembly.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage by the
manufacturer; accordingly, the FAA has included all costs in this cost
estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Significant New Alternatives Policy Program
Fire Extinguishing and Explosion Prevention Sector
Risk Screen on Substitute for Halon 1211 as a Streaming Agent in Portable Fire Extinguishers
               Substitute: C7 Fluoroketone (C7 FK or FK-6-1-14)
This risk screen does not contain Clean Air Act (CAA) Confidential Business Information (CBI) and, therefore, may be disclosed to the public.
1.	INTRODUCTION
Ozone-depleting substances (ODS) are being phased out of production in response to a series of diplomatic and legislative efforts that have taken place over the past two decades, including the Montreal Protocol and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA).  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as authorized by Section 612 of the CAAA, administers the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program, which identifies acceptable and unacceptable substitutes for ODS in specific end-uses based on assessment of their health and environmental impacts.

EPA's decision on the acceptability of a substitute is based largely on the findings of a screening assessment of potential human health and environmental risks posed by the substitute in specific applications.  EPA has already screened a large number of substitutes in many end-use applications within all of the major ODS-using sectors, including: refrigeration and air conditioning, solvent cleaning, foam blowing, aerosols, fire suppression, adhesives, coatings and inks, and sterilization. The results of these risk screens are presented in a series of Background Documents that are available in EPA's docket.

The purpose of this risk screen is to supplement EPA's Background Document on the fire and explosion suppression sector (EPA 1994) (hereinafter referred to as the Background Document). This risk screen evaluates the potential use of C7 Fluoroketone (also referred to as FK-6-1-14 or C7 FK) as a substitute for Halon 1211 to be used as a streaming agent in portable fire extinguishers. The proposed substitute is anticipated to be used for Classes A (ordinary combustibles), B (flammable liquids and gases), and C (electrical) fires, pending UL approval. The reader is referred to the Background Document for the methodologies and assumptions used to conduct the risk screen. Table 1 presents the composition of the proposed substitute.
                         Table 1. Composition of C7 FK

                                    35-45%

The potential risks associated with use of substitutes in streaming agents for portable fire extinguishers have been examined at length in the Background Document.  The reader is referred to this reference for a detailed discussion of the methodologies used to conduct this risk screen.  Occupational exposure modeling was performed to ensure that use of the proposed substitute did not pose unacceptable risk to workers during equipment manufacture.  Modeling was performed at the end-use to ensure that potential releases of the proposed substitute did not pose unacceptable risk to fire fighters and other end-users in locations where the fire extinguishers are in use.  Lastly, general population exposure modeling was performed to ensure that the proposed substitute would not pose unacceptable risk to the population at large.

Section 2 of this report summarizes the results of the risk screen for the proposed substitute.  The remainder of the risk screen is organized into the following sections:

         * Section 3: Atmospheric Assessment
         * Section 4: Potential Health Effects
         * Section 5: Occupational Exposure Assessment
         * Section 6: End-Use Exposure Assessment
         * Section 7: General Population Exposure Assessment
         * Section 8: Volatile Organic Compound Assessment
         * Section 9: References
2. 	SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Use of C7 FK in portable fire extinguishers is not expected to pose a significant risk to atmospheric integrity or to the health of the general population, and is therefore recommended for SNAP approval for the proposed end use.  Given that proper training will be given to personnel and that appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) (Occupational Safety & Health Administration [OSHA] Category D or higher) and proper procedures according to the MSDS (including provisions of adequate ventilation) will be used during manufacturing, end-use, and disposal, no risk to workers, end-users, or the general population is anticipated. In addition, this risk screen indicates that the use of the proposed substitute will be less harmful to the atmosphere than the continued use of Halon 1211, HCFC-123, or HFC-236fa. For applications of this and all other fire suppression equipment, ICF recommends that use be in accordance with the latest edition of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 10 Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers.
3. 	ATMOSPHERIC ASSESSMENT
This section presents an assessment of the potential risks to atmospheric integrity posed by the use of C7 FK as a streaming agent.  The ODP, GWP, and ALT of the proposed substitute and replacements are presented in Table 2. The proposed substitute is substantially less harmful to the ozone layer and has less climate impact than Halon 1211. In addition, its low GWP relative to HCFCs and HFCs will provide environmental benefit compared to other available options in streaming applications.

4. 	POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
According to the MSDS, exposure to C7 FK above the exposure guideline may result in potentially harmful health effects. Inhalation of C7 FK could cause respiratory tract irritation and symptoms may include cough, sneezing, nasal discharge, headache, hoarseness, and nose and throat pain. If thermal decomposition of the compound occurs, inhalation of the decomposition products may also be harmful. If over exposure due to inhalation of C7 FK above the exposure guideline occurs, person(s) should be immediately removed and exposed to fresh air and medical attention should be sought if the above mentioned symptoms develop. Contact with the eyes and/or skin during product use is not expected to result in significant irritation. Ingestion of C7 FK is not expected to cause health effects, and there is no anticipated need for first aid if ingestion of C7 FK occurs (3M 2011b). EPA's review of the environmental and human health impacts of this proposed substitute is contained in the public docket for this decision.
 When good industrial hygiene practices and the PPE and engineering control (e.g., ventilation) recommendations outlined in the MSDS for C7 FK, as summarized in Sections 5 and 6 of this risk screen, are followed, these potential health effects are unlikely to occur.
 5.	OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT
C7 FK is manufactured in a closed system. According to the submitter, workers may be exposed to C7 FK during the manufacture of the product during direct line filling of drums/containers, as well as during installation of the fire extinguishing systems (e.g., accidental discharge). The potential for personnel exposure during manufacture and installation and maintenance are examined in this section. ICF's estimated acceptable exposure limit (AEL) for C7 FK is 225 ppm (3368 mg/m[3]) averaged over an 8-hour time period (8-hour TWA) (ICF 2011). The AEL was derived using an interspecies uncertainty factor of 3 and an uncertainty factor of 3 to compensate for uncertainty in the database  -  i.e., use of a 28-day, rather than a 90-day subchronic or 2-year chronic study to develop the 8-hour AEL. The reader is referred to Appendix A for a detailed explanation of the development of the AEL.  The substitute's manufacturer also recommends an AEL of 225 ppm (8-hr TWA) for C7 FK.
5.1	Occupational Exposure during Manufacture

For small to moderate spills of C7 FK (< 100 kg), it is recommended that the area in which the spill occurs be cleared of personnel until ambient concentrations return to acceptable levels. The submitter modeled two scenarios to determine the appropriate reentry time in case of a spill. In both scenarios, the ventilation rate was fixed at 6 air changes per hour (ACH) and 4.5 kg of C7 FK was released to simulate a small leak (see Table 3) (3M 2011a).

                        Table 3. C7 FK Spill Monitoring
                             Scenario Room Volume
                              Peak Concentration
                                 Reentry Time
                                   100 m[3]
                                   2,200 ppm
                                    28 min
                                   1000 m[3]
                                    225 ppm
                                   Immediate

It is recommended that each manufacturing facility has the appropriate staff and resources to design the appropriate working environment and adhere to reentry time guidance following a leak of the substance. The submitter concludes that factory production of the C7 FK using the same procedures as for C6 FK would result in short term worker exposure of less than 1 ppm for C7 FK. In addition, personal protective equipment (PPE), as suggested in the MSDS, is recommended for workers dealing with C7 FK in industrial settings where ventilation is inadequate to control exposure below the recommended exposure guideline.  For manufacture of fire extinguisher systems, the amount of proposed substitute released during leak testing has been estimated to be less than 30 grams per year (3M 2011a).
5.2	Occupational Exposure during Installation and Maintenance
To address the potential employee exposure to C7 FK for larger amounts of the proposed substitute, the submitter provided surrogate air monitoring studies for a C6 fluorinated ketone (C6 FK or Novec(TM) 1230) analog. Air concentrations found during the air monitoring studies with C6 FK (described below) would be a conservative estimate of air concentrations of C7 FK, due to the higher boiling point and lower vapor pressure of C7 FK (see Table 4) (3M Novec(TM) 1230 SNAP Submission, 2001).

     Table 4. Boiling Point and Vapor Pressure for C7 FK and C6 FK Analog
Parameter
                           C7 FK Proposed Substitute
                                 C6 FK Analog
Boiling Point
                                     74 C
                                     49 C
Vapor Pressure
                              125 mmHg (at 20 C)
                              244 mmHg (at 20 C)

According to the submitter, monitoring was conducted in two scenarios to determine the concentration of C6 FK during packaging, servicing, and disposal operations, which are reflective of manufacturing conditions for either draining the reactor or draining to drums post purification as part of the filling process for fire extinguishing units. The first scenario was tote filling, and monitoring was conducted without local exhaust which resulted in an area TWA concentration of 60 ppm. The peak instantaneous concentration for this scenario was 300 ppm, which is above the recommended AEL of 225 ppm over an 8 hour period; however, this scenario was modeled without the use of local exhaust. The second scenario, drum filling, was performed with local exhaust and resulted in personal TWA exposure of 1.3 ppm. Table 5 shows the additional results of the air monitoring.

                     Table 5. C6 FK Air Monitoring Results
Scenario
                              Peak Concentration
                            Area TWA Concentration
Tote Filling -- no local exhaust
                                    300 ppm
                                    60 ppm
Drum Filling--with local exhaust
                                   11.7 ppm
                                    1.3 ppm

While the analysis performed by the submitter is intended for manufacturing and packaging of C7 FK for distribution, it is likely that similar exposure scenarios would exist during filling of streaming systems containing C7 FK.  As such, certain precautions should be taken regarding the peak exposure values that may result if a spill occurs during filling and maintenance of these systems. Based on the submitter's analysis, it is recommended to have adequate ventilation, such as that provided by local exhaust fans, in establishments where filling and maintenance activities for streaming systems are carried out. Filling operations should be performed in areas with additional exposure controls, including reduced fill drop height, slower fill rate, and smaller containers. The manufacturer has recommended use of OSHA Category D or higher PPE, such as safety goggles with side shields and neoprene, nitrile rubber, or polymer laminate gloves, for workers dealing with C7 FK in industrial settings. In addition, all spills should be cleaned up immediately in accordance with good industrial hygiene practices and the MSDS for C7 FK, and training for safe handling procedures should be provided to all employees that would be likely to handle the containers of C7 FK or portable extinguishing units filled with the material.

6.	END-USE EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT
C7 FK is expected to be used as a streaming agent in portable fire extinguishers for the industrial, commercial, and military sectors. It is not intended for residential or direct consumer use. C7 FK is designed as a clean extinguishing agent that discharges as a vapor and can be removed through normal ventilation.

According to OSHA (Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200(f)(1)), all portable fire extinguishers must have a label identifying the material and issuing appropriate hazard warnings. Following discharge of a portable fire extinguishing unit containing C7 FK, fire fighters and other end-users are expected to follow the warnings on the label. If the extinguisher is discharged, it is expected that the room would be evacuated until ventilation systems reduce airborne concentrations of the C7 FK agent below the recommended occupational exposure limit.

To give guidance to fire fighters and other end-users and to assess exposure and toxicity concerns associated with use of a proposed Halon 1211 substitute as a streaming agent, the submitter modeled two scenarios to determine the appropriate ventilation and reentry time after complete discharge of a C7 FK portable extinguishing unit. The submitter compared the results of both scenarios to the 8-hour AEL for C7 FK (225 ppm) and reentry times were established. In both scenarios, the ventilation rate was fixed at 6 air changes per hour (ACH) and 10 lbs (4.5 kg) of C7 FK, the full charge of a C7 FK extinguisher, was discharged (3M 2011a). The peak concentrations in both scenarios were greater than the AEL and recommended reentry times were established when the room concentration returned to levels below the AEL (see Table 6).

                      Table 6. C7 FK Discharge Monitoring
                             Scenario Room Volume
                              Peak Concentration
                                 Reentry Time
                                Exposure Limit
                                   100 m[3]
                                   3,000 ppm
                                    26 min
                              225 ppm (8-hr AEL)
                                   1000 m[3]
                                    300 ppm
                                     3 min

These reentry times were established using the 8-hour AEL. If the peak concentrations in the room for the two modeled scenarios were compared to a 5-minute acute AEL (21,600 ppm), reentry would be permitted much earlier.

Though PPE is not required for incidental exposures that may occur during normal discharge of a portable unit due to C7 FK's low acute toxicity, the use of PPE is recommended for fire fighters using C7 FK in accordance with the MSDS for C7 FK, including full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to protect against the effects of thermal decomposition products of C7 FK (3M 2011b). In addition, use of C7 FK is subject to the requirements of other organizations including NFPA, Underwriters Laboratories, and OSHA.
7.	GENERAL POPULATION EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT
C7 FK is not expected to cause a significant risk to human health in the general population when used as a streaming agent in portable fire extinguishers, and it is not intended for residential or direct consumer use. The following sections discuss the potential effects of C7 FK on ambient air, surface water, and as solid waste.

7.1 	Ambient Air
C7 FK is expected to degrade via direct photolysis. The formation of breakdown products is not considered to be a toxicological concern, and their formation is expected to contribute only miniscule amounts to ambient air or rainwater.  Thus, use of C7 FK as a streaming agent is not expected to pose a risk to the general population.
7.2 	Surface Water
As discussed in the Background Document, the physicochemical properties of the majority of halon substitutes make it unlikely that the substitutes would be released to surface water as a result of use.  In the case of C7 FK, the proposed substitute is insoluble in water and has a very high Henry's Law Constant, meaning the compound readily volatilizes. Thus, it is expected that all of the constituents would rapidly vaporize during expulsion from the container and therefore would not be likely to settle or to lead to surface water contamination (3M 2010b).
7.3 	Solid Waste
As discussed above, C7 FK will vaporize upon discharge.  Therefore, use of this agent is not expected to generate solid waste. To the extent that solid materials are used in post-activation clean-up procedures, clean-up residues should be disposed of in accordance with the C7 FK MSDS.
8. 	VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND ASSESSMENT
C7 FK has not been exempted as a VOC under the CAA (40 CFR 51.000). VOC emissions should be sufficiently controlled through standard industry practices. VOC emissions from the production of portable extinguishers charged with C7 FK are controlled through standard industry practices, and as such, emissions from manufacture of units are likely to be minimal.  Using release estimates from the Vintaging Model, the annual release rate (including discharge, leak, and training release rates) for portable extinguishers was calculated to be approximately 3.5% of extinguisher charge size. Assuming this release rate, an assessment was performed to compare the annual VOC emissions from use of C7 FK in portable extinguishers in one year to other anthropogenic sources of VOC emissions. Assuming the portion for streaming agent applications of the submitter's maximum allowable annual production, only approximately 1.0x10[-3] percent of the annual VOC emissions caused by fires,  or only about 3.8x10[-][5] percent of all annual anthropogenic VOC emission sources would be released from the charged portable extinguishers.  Moreover, even if the entire portion for streaming agent applications of the allowable quantity of C7 FK produced by the submitter in one year was all released to the atmosphere (extremely unlikely), the resulting VOC emissions would be approximately equal to 3.0x10[-][2] percent of annual VOC emissions caused by fires, or only about 1.1x10[-][3] percent of all annual anthropogenic VOC emissions.  As these emissions are several orders of magnitude less than other anthropogenic emissions, the environmental impacts of these VOCs are not considered a significant risk.

              Determination of an AEL for C7 Fluoroketone (C7 FK)

Recommended AEL: 		225 ppm (8-hour)

Basis and Endpoints: 		NOAEL 3000 ppm for male rats

Study: 	Sub acute (29-day) Inhalation Toxicity Study with MTDID 10800 in Rats

Protocol:	6 hours/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks (whole body exposure)

Concentrations:			0; 3,000; 7,500; 15,000 ppm

NOAEL:	3,000 ppm (males) (excluding peroxisomal proliferation)

Uncertainty Factor:	10 (3 - interspecies extrapolation; 3  -  use of a sub-acute study)

AEL 	225 ppm (= 3,000 * 6 hours (exposure of rats)/8 hours (workday))* (1/10)

Derivation of a preliminary AEL for C7 FK relies on the reported NOAEL of 3,000 ppm for male Wistar rats from the 29-day inhalation study at exposure doses of 0, 3,000, 7,500, and 15,000 ppm (Muijser and Staal, 2008).  The only exposure-related effects of note in male rats were peroxisomal proliferation in liver cells at all exposure concentrations, and a significant increase in hepatocellular hypertrophy, as well as significant increases in the number of total white blood cells, lymphocytes, and neutrophils at 7,500 and 15,000 ppm.  No other effects in males were found by histological examination.  All the reported effects were found to be reversed in a separate group of recovery males who were held for 13-days post exposure.  No exposure-related effects were noted in female rats at any concentration; thus the NOAEL for females was identified as 15,000 ppm.  Peroxisomal proliferation is common in male rats which have been exposed to certain toxicants, and the effect has been debated within the risk assessment community with regard to predicting liver toxicity in humans (Keshava and Caldwell 2006; Melnick 2001).  The study authors discounted the peroxisomal proliferation, and identified a NOAEL of 3,000 ppm based on other mild responses at the mid- and high concentrations.  ICF agrees with this decision, particularly given the reversibility of the effects and given the similarity in the toxicity of C7 FK with the structurally similar C6 FK.

 Compensation for 6 hour/day exposure for 5 days/week is accomplished by multiplying the AEL of 3,000 ppm by a factor of 0.75 (6 hour study exposure/ 8 hour typical worker exposure) to obtain a Human Equivalent Concentration (HEC) of 2,250 ppm. An interspecies uncertainty factor of 3 is used to account for the pharmacodynamic differences between rats and humans. An additional uncertainty factor of 3 is recommended to compensate for use of a 29-day, rather than 90-day subchronic or 2-year chronic, study to develop the 8-hour AEL. The supporting toxicological data for C6 fluorinated ketone (C6 FK), which is structurally similar to C7 FK, precludes the need for an additional UF for the quality of the database.  Division of the HEC by 10 (multiplicative value of uncertainty factors) produces a derived AEL for C7 fluorinated ketone of 225 ppm.

controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Owl Rock
Adviser and is registered as an investment adviser under the
Advisers Act.
    \3\ ``Affiliated Fund'' means any entity (a) whose investment
adviser is an Adviser, (b) that would be an investment company but
for section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Act, and (c) that intends to
participate in the Co-Investment Program.
    \4\ The term ``private placement transactions'' means
transactions in which the offer and sale of securities by the issuer
are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
``Securities Act'').
    \5\ All existing entities that currently intend to rely upon the
requested Order have been named as applicants. Any other existing or
future entity that subsequently relies on the Order will comply with
the terms and conditions of the application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. Applicants state any of the Regulated Funds may, from time to
time, form one or more Wholly-Owned Investment Subs.\6\ A Wholly-Owned
Investment Sub would be prohibited from investing in a Co-Investment
Transaction with any Affiliated Fund or Regulated Fund because it would
be a company controlled by its parent Regulated Fund for purposes of
section 57(a)(4) and rule 17d-1. Applicants request that each Wholly-
Owned Investment Sub be permitted to participate in Co-Investment
Transactions in lieu of its parent Regulated Fund and that the Wholly-
Owned Investment Sub's participation in any such transaction be
treated, for

purposes of the requested order, as though the parent Regulated Fund
were participating directly. Applicants represent that this treatment
is justified because a Wholly-Owned Investment Sub would have no
purpose other than serving as a holding vehicle for the Regulated
Fund's investments and, therefore, no conflicts of interest could arise
between the Regulated Fund and the Wholly-Owned Investment Sub. The
Regulated Fund's Board would make all relevant determinations under the
conditions with regard to a Wholly-Owned Investment Sub's participation
in a Co-Investment Transaction, and the Regulated Fund's Board would be
informed of, and take into consideration, any proposed use of a Wholly-
Owned Investment Sub in the Regulated Fund's place. If the Regulated
Fund proposes to participate in the same Co-Investment Transaction with
any of its Wholly-Owned Investment Subs, the Board will also be
informed of, and take into consideration, the relative participation of
the Regulated Fund and the Wholly-Owned Investment Sub.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The term ``Wholly-Owned Investment Sub'' means an entity (i)
that is wholly-owned by a Regulated Fund (with the Regulated Fund at
all times holding, beneficially and of record, 100% of the voting
and economic interests); (ii) whose sole business purpose is to hold
one or more investments on behalf of the Regulated Fund; (iii) with
respect to which the board of directors of the Regulated Fund (the
``Board'') has the sole authority to make all determinations with
respect to the entity's participation under the conditions of the
application; and (iv) that would be an investment company but for
section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. When considering Potential Co-Investment Transactions for any
Regulated Fund, the applicable Adviser will consider only the
Objectives and Strategies, investment policies, investment positions,
capital available for investment as described in the application
(``Available Capital''), and other pertinent factors applicable to that
Regulated Fund.\7\ The Board of each Regulated Fund, including the
directors that are not ``interested persons'' within the meaning of
section 2(a)(19) of the Act (the ``Non-Interested Directors''), has (or
will have prior to relying on the requested Order) determined that it
is in the best interests of the Regulated Fund to participate in Co-
Investment Transactions.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ ``Objectives and Strategies'' means a Regulated Fund's
investment objectives and strategies, as described in the Regulated
Fund's registration statement on Form N-2 or Form 10, as applicable,
other filings the Regulated Fund has made with the Commission under
the Securities Act, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
and the Regulated Fund's reports to shareholders.
    \8\ The Regulated Funds, however, will not be obligated to
invest, or co-invest, when investment opportunities are referred to
them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. Other than pro rata dispositions and Follow-On Investments as
provided in conditions 7 and 8, and after making the determinations
required in conditions 1 and 2(a), the Adviser will present each
Potential Co-Investment Transaction and the proposed allocation to the
directors of the Board eligible to vote under section 57(o) of the Act
(``Eligible Directors''), and the ``required majority,'' as defined in
section 57(o) of the Act (``Required Majority'') \9\ will approve each
Co-Investment Transaction prior to any investment by the participating
Regulated Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In the case of a Regulated Fund that is a registered closed-
end fund, the Board members that make up the Required Majority will
be determined as if the Regulated Fund were a BDC subject to section
57(o).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    8. With respect to the pro rata dispositions and Follow-On
Investments provided in conditions 7 and 8, a Regulated Fund may
participate in a pro rata disposition or Follow-On Investment without
obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if, among other
things: (i) The proposed participation of each Regulated Fund and
Affiliated Fund in such disposition is proportionate to its outstanding
investments in the issuer immediately preceding the disposition or
Follow-On Investment, as the case may be; and (ii) the Board of the
Regulated Fund has approved that Regulated Fund's participation in pro
rata dispositions and Follow-On Investments as being in the best
interests of the Regulated Fund. If the Board does not so approve, any
such disposition or Follow-On Investment will be submitted to the
Regulated Fund's Eligible Directors. The Board of any Regulated Fund
may at any time rescind, suspend or qualify its approval of pro rata
dispositions and Follow-On Investments with the result that all
dispositions and/or Follow-On Investments must be submitted to the
Eligible Directors.
    9. No Non-Interested Director of a Regulated Fund will have a
financial interest in any Co-Investment Transaction, other than through
share ownership in one of the Regulated Funds.
    10. If an Adviser or its principal owners (the ``Principals''), or
any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with an
Adviser or the Principals, and the Affiliated Funds (collectively, the
``Holders'') own in the aggregate more than 25 percent of the
outstanding voting shares of a Regulated Fund (the ``Shares''), then
the Holders will vote such Shares as required under condition 14.
Applicants believe that this condition will ensure that the Non-
Interested Directors will act independently in evaluating the Co-
Investment Program, because the ability of an Adviser or the Principals
to influence the Non-Interested Directors by a suggestion, explicit or
implied, that the Non-Interested Directors can be removed if desired by
the Holders will be limited significantly. The Non-Interested Directors
will evaluate and approve any such independent party, taking into
account its qualifications, reputation for independence, cost to the
shareholders, and other factors that they deem relevant.
Applicants' Legal Analysis
    1. Section 57(a)(4) of the Act prohibits certain affiliated persons
of a BDC from participating in joint transactions with the BDC or a
company controlled by a BDC in contravention of rules as prescribed by
the Commission. Under section 57(b)(2) of the Act, any person who is
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with a BDC is subject to section 57(a)(4). Applicants submit
that each of the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds could be deemed
to be a person related to each Regulated Fund in a manner described by
section 57(b) by virtue of being under common control. Section 57(i) of
the Act provides that, until the Commission prescribes rules under
section 57(a)(4), the Commission's rules under section 17(d) of the Act
applicable to registered closed-end investment companies will be deemed
to apply to transactions subject to section 57(a)(4). Because the
Commission has not adopted any rules under section 57(a)(4), rule 17d-1
also applies to joint transactions with Regulated Funds that are BDCs.
Section 17(d) of the Act and rule 17d-1 under the Act are applicable to
Regulated Funds that are registered closed-end investment companies.
    2. Section 17(d) of the Act and rule 17d-1 under the Act prohibit
affiliated persons of a registered investment company from
participating in joint transactions with the company unless the
Commission has granted an order permitting such transactions. In
passing upon applications under rule 17d-1, the Commission considers
whether the company's participation in the joint transaction is
consistent with the provisions, policies, and purposes of the Act and
the extent to which such participation is on a basis different from or
less advantageous than that of other participants.
    3. Applicants state that in the absence of the requested relief,
the Regulated Funds would be, in some circumstances, limited in their
ability to participate in attractive and appropriate investment
opportunities. Applicants believe that the proposed terms and
conditions will ensure that the Co-Investment Transactions are
consistent with the protection of each Regulated Fund's shareholders
and with the purposes intended by the policies and provisions of the
Act. Applicants state that the Regulated Funds' participation in the
Co-Investment Transactions will be consistent with the provisions,

policies, and purposes of the Act and on a basis that is not different
from or less advantageous than that of other participants.
Applicants' Conditions
    Applicants agree that the Order will be subject to the following
conditions:
    1. Each time an Adviser considers a Potential Co-Investment
Transaction for an Affiliated Fund or another Regulated Fund that falls
within a Regulated Fund's then-current Objectives and Strategies, the
Regulated Fund's Adviser will make an independent determination of the
appropriateness of the investment for such Regulated Fund in light of
the Regulated Fund's then-current circumstances.
    2. (a) If the Adviser deems a Regulated Fund's participation in any
Potential Co-Investment Transaction to be appropriate for the Regulated
Fund, it will then determine an appropriate level of investment for the
Regulated Fund.
    (b) If the aggregate amount recommended by the applicable Adviser
to be invested by the applicable Regulated Fund in the Potential Co-
Investment Transaction, together with the amount proposed to be
invested by the other participating Regulated Funds and Affiliated
Funds, collectively, in the same transaction, exceeds the amount of the
investment opportunity, the investment opportunity will be allocated
among them pro rata based on each participant's Available Capital, up
to the amount proposed to be invested by each. The applicable Adviser
will provide the Eligible Directors of each participating Regulated
Fund with information concerning each participating party's Available
Capital to assist the Eligible Directors with their review of the
Regulated Fund's investments for compliance with these allocation
procedures.
    (c) After making the determinations required in conditions 1 and
2(a), the applicable Adviser will distribute written information
concerning the Potential Co-Investment Transaction (including the
amount proposed to be invested by each participating Regulated Fund and
Affiliated Fund) to the Eligible Directors of each participating
Regulated Fund for their consideration. A Regulated Fund will co-invest
with one or more other Regulated Funds and/or one or more Affiliated
Funds only if, prior to the Regulated Fund's participation in the
Potential Co-Investment Transaction, a Required Majority concludes
that:
    (i) The terms of the Potential Co-Investment Transaction, including
the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Regulated
Fund and its shareholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of
the Regulated Fund or its shareholders on the part of any person
concerned;
    (ii) the Potential Co-Investment Transaction is consistent with:
    (A) The interests of the shareholders of the Regulated Fund; and
    (B) the Regulated Fund's then-current Objectives and Strategies;
    (iii) the investment by any other Regulated Funds or Affiliated
Funds would not disadvantage the Regulated Fund, and participation by
the Regulated Fund would not be on a basis different from or less
advantageous than that of other Regulated Funds or Affiliated Funds;
provided that, if any other Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund, but not
the Regulated Fund itself, gains the right to nominate a director for
election to a portfolio company's board of directors or the right to
have a board observer or any similar right to participate in the
governance or management of the portfolio company, such event shall not
be interpreted to prohibit the Required Majority from reaching the
conclusions required by this condition (2)(c)(iii), if:
    (A) The Eligible Directors will have the right to ratify the
selection of such director or board observer, if any;
    (B) the applicable Adviser agrees to, and does, provide periodic
reports to the Regulated Fund's Board with respect to the actions of
such director or the information received by such board observer or
obtained through the exercise of any similar right to participate in
the governance or management of the portfolio company; and
    (C) any fees or other compensation that any Affiliated Fund or any
Regulated Fund or any affiliated person of any Affiliated Fund or any
Regulated Fund receives in connection with the right of the Affiliated
Fund or a Regulated Fund to nominate a director or appoint a board
observer or otherwise to participate in the governance or management of
the portfolio company will be shared proportionately among the
participating Affiliated Funds (who each may, in turn, share its
portion with its affiliated persons) and the participating Regulated
Funds in accordance with the amount of each party's investment; and
    (iv) the proposed investment by the Regulated Fund will not benefit
the Advisers, the Affiliated Funds or the other Regulated Funds or any
affiliated person of any of them (other than the parties to the Co-
Investment Transaction), except (A) to the extent permitted by
condition 13, (B) to the extent permitted by section 17(e) or 57(k) of
the Act, as applicable, (C) indirectly, as a result of an interest in
the securities issued by one of the parties to the Co-Investment
Transaction, or (D) in the case of fees or other compensation described
in condition 2(c)(iii)(C).
    3. Each Regulated Fund has the right to decline to participate in
any Potential Co-Investment Transaction or to invest less than the
amount proposed.
    4. The applicable Adviser will present to the Board of each
Regulated Fund, on a quarterly basis, a record of all investments in
Potential Co-Investment Transactions made by any of the other Regulated
Funds or Affiliated Funds during the preceding quarter that fell within
the Regulated Fund's then-current Objectives and Strategies that were
not made available to the Regulated Fund, and an explanation of why the
investment opportunities were not offered to the Regulated Fund. All
information presented to the Board pursuant to this condition will be
kept for the life of the Regulated Fund and at least two years
thereafter, and will be subject to examination by the Commission and
its staff.
    5. Except for Follow-On Investments made in accordance with
condition 8,\10\ a Regulated Fund will not invest in reliance on the
Order in any issuer in which another Regulated Fund, Affiliated Fund,
or any affiliated person of another Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund
is an existing investor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ This exception applies only to Follow-On Investments by a
Regulated Fund in issuers in which that Regulated Fund already holds
investments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. A Regulated Fund will not participate in any Potential Co-
Investment Transaction unless the terms, conditions, price, class of
securities to be purchased, settlement date, and registration rights
will be the same for each participating Regulated Fund and Affiliated
Fund. The grant to an Affiliated Fund or another Regulated Fund, but
not the Regulated Fund, of the right to nominate a director for
election to a portfolio company's board of directors, the right to have
an observer on the board of directors or similar rights to participate
in the governance or management of the portfolio company will not be
interpreted so as to violate this condition 6, if conditions
2(c)(iii)(A), (B) and (C) are met.
    7. (a) If any Affiliated Fund or any Regulated Fund elects to sell,
exchange or otherwise dispose of an interest in a security that was
acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction, the applicable Advisers will:

    (i) notify each Regulated Fund that participated in the Co-
Investment Transaction of the proposed disposition at the earliest
practical time; and
    (ii) formulate a recommendation as to participation by each
Regulated Fund in the disposition.
    (b) Each Regulated Fund will have the right to participate in such
disposition on a proportionate basis, at the same price and on the same
terms and conditions as those applicable to the participating
Affiliated Funds and Regulated Funds.
    (c) A Regulated Fund may participate in such disposition without
obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if: (i) The proposed
participation of each Regulated Fund and each Affiliated Fund in such
disposition is proportionate to its outstanding investments in the
issuer immediately preceding the disposition; (ii) the Board of the
Regulated Fund has approved as being in the best interests of the
Regulated Fund the ability to participate in such dispositions on a pro
rata basis (as described in greater detail in the application); and
(iii) the Board of the Regulated Fund is provided on a quarterly basis
with a list of all dispositions made in accordance with this condition.
In all other cases, the Adviser will provide its written recommendation
as to the Regulated Fund's participation to the Eligible Directors, and
the Regulated Fund will participate in such disposition solely to the
extent that a Required Majority determines that it is in the Regulated
Fund's best interests.
    (d) Each Affiliated Fund and each Regulated Fund will bear its own
expenses in connection with any such disposition.
    8. (a) If any Affiliated Fund or any Regulated Fund desires to make
a Follow-On Investment in a portfolio company whose securities were
acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction, the applicable Advisers will:
    (i) Notify each Regulated Fund that participated in the Co-
Investment Transaction of the proposed transaction at the earliest
practical time; and
    (ii) formulate a recommendation as to the proposed participation,
including the amount of the proposed Follow-On Investment, by each
Regulated Fund.
    (b) A Regulated Fund may participate in such Follow-On Investment
without obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if: (i) The
proposed participation of each Regulated Fund and each Affiliated Fund
in such investment is proportionate to its outstanding investments in
the issuer immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment; and (ii) the
Board of the Regulated Fund has approved as being in the best interests
of the Regulated Fund the ability to participate in Follow-On
Investments on a pro rata basis (as described in greater detail in the
application). In all other cases, the Adviser will provide its written
recommendation as to the Regulated Fund's participation to the Eligible
Directors, and the Regulated Fund will participate in such Follow-On
Investment solely to the extent that a Required Majority determines
that it is in the Regulated Fund's best interests.
    (c) If, with respect to any Follow-On Investment:
    (i) The amount of the opportunity is not based on the Regulated
Funds' and the Affiliated Funds' outstanding investments immediately
preceding the Follow-On Investment; and
    (ii) the aggregate amount recommended by the applicable Adviser to
be invested by the applicable Regulated Fund in the Follow-On
Investment, together with the amount proposed to be invested by the
other participating Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds, collectively,
in the same transaction, exceeds the amount of the investment
opportunity; then the investment opportunity will be allocated among
them pro rata based on each participant's Available Capital, up to the
maximum amount proposed to be invested by each.
    (d) The acquisition of Follow-On Investments as permitted by this
condition will be considered a Co-Investment Transaction for all
purposes and subject to the other conditions set forth in this
application.
    9. The Non-Interested Directors of each Regulated Fund will be
provided quarterly for review all information concerning Potential Co-
Investment Transactions and Co-Investment Transactions, including
investments made by other Regulated Funds or Affiliated Funds that the
Regulated Fund considered but declined to participate in, so that the
Non-Interested Directors may determine whether all investments made
during the preceding quarter, including those investments that the
Regulated Fund considered but declined to participate in, comply with
the conditions of the Order. In addition, the Non-Interested Directors
will consider at least annually the continued appropriateness for the
Regulated Fund of participating in new and existing Co-Investment
Transactions.
    10. Each Regulated Fund will maintain the records required by
section 57(f)(3) of the Act as if each of the Regulated Funds were a
BDC and each of the investments permitted under these conditions were
approved by the Required Majority under section 57(f) of the Act.
    11. No Non-Interested Director of a Regulated Fund will also be a
director, general partner, managing member or principal, or otherwise
an ``affiliated person'' (as defined in the Act) of an Affiliated Fund.
    12. The expenses, if any, associated with acquiring, holding or
disposing of any securities acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction
(including, without limitation, the expenses of the distribution of any
such securities registered for sale under the Securities Act) will, to
the extent not payable by the Advisers under their respective
investment advisory agreements with Affiliated Funds and the Regulated
Funds, be shared by the Regulated Funds and the Affiliated Funds in
proportion to the relative amounts of the securities held or to be
acquired or disposed of, as the case may be.
    13. Any transaction fee\11\ (including break-up or commitment fees
but excluding broker's fees contemplated by section 17(e) or 57(k) of
the Act, as applicable), received in connection with a Co-Investment
Transaction will be distributed to the participating Regulated Funds
and Affiliated Funds on a pro rata basis based on the amounts they
invested or committed, as the case may be, in such Co-Investment
Transaction. If any transaction fee is to be held by an Adviser pending
consummation of the transaction, the fee will be deposited into an
account maintained by such Adviser at a bank or banks having the
qualifications prescribed in section 26(a)(1) of the Act, and the
account will earn a competitive rate of interest that will also be
divided pro rata among the participating Regulated Funds and Affiliated
Funds based on the amounts they invest in such Co-Investment
Transaction. None of the Affiliated Funds, the Advisers, the other
Regulated Funds or any affiliated person of the Regulated Funds or
Affiliated Funds will receive additional compensation or remuneration
of any kind as a result of or in connection with a Co-Investment
Transaction (other than (a) in the case of the Regulated Funds and the
Affiliated Funds, the pro rata transaction fees described above and
fees or other compensation described in condition 2(c)(iii)(C); and (b)
in the case of an Adviser, investment advisory fees paid in accordance
with the agreement

between the Adviser and the Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Applicants are not requesting and the staff is not
providing any relief for transaction fees received in connection
with any Co-Investment Transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    14. If the Holders own in the aggregate more than 25 percent of the
Shares of a Regulated Fund, then the Holders will vote such Shares as
directed by an independent third party when voting on (1) the election
of directors; (2) the removal of one or more directors; or (3) any
other matter under either the 1940 Act or applicable state law
affecting the Board's composition, size or manner of election.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
