    The information can also be reviewed online at https://www.epa.gov/ozone-designations and in the public docket for these ozone
designations at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2017-0548.

I. What is the purpose of this action?

    The purpose of this notice of availability is to solicit input from
interested parties other than states and tribes on the EPA's recent
responses to the state and tribal designation recommendations for the
2015 Ozone NAAQS. These responses, and their supporting technical
analyses, can be found at https://www.epa.gov/ozone-designations and in
the public docket for these ozone designations at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0548.
    On October 1, 2015, the EPA Administrator signed a notice of final
rulemaking that revised the primary and secondary ozone NAAQS (80 FR
65292; October 26, 2015). The EPA established the revised primary and
secondary ozone NAAQS at 0.070 parts per million (ppm). The 2015 Ozone
NAAQS are met at an ambient air quality monitoring site when the 3-year
average of the annual fourth highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone
concentration (i.e., the design value) is less than or equal to 0.070
ppm. The revised standards will improve public health protection,
particularly for at-risk groups including children, older adults,
people of all ages who have lung diseases such as asthma, and people
who are active outdoors, especially outdoor workers. They also will
improve the health of trees, plants and ecosystems.
    After the EPA promulgates a new or revised NAAQS, the Clean Air Act
(CAA) requires the EPA to designate all areas of the country as either
``Nonattainment,'' ``Attainment,'' or ``Unclassifiable,'' for that
NAAQS. The process for these initial designations is contained in CAA
section 107(d)(1) (42 U.S.C. 7407). After promulgation of a new or
revised NAAQS, each governor or tribal leader has an opportunity to
recommend air quality designations, including the appropriate
boundaries for Nonattainment areas, to the EPA. The EPA considers these
recommendations as part of its duty to promulgate the formal area
designations and boundaries for the new or revised NAAQS. By no later
than 120 days prior to promulgating designations, the EPA is required
to notify states, territories, and tribes, as appropriate, of any
intended modifications to an area designation or boundary
recommendation that the EPA deems necessary.
    On November 6, 2017, the EPA established initial air quality
designations for most areas in the United States, including most areas
of Indian country, for the 2015 primary and secondary ozone NAAQS 82 FR
54232, November 16, 2017). In that action, the EPA designated 2,646
counties, including Indian country located in those counties, two
separate areas of Indian country, and five territories as Attainment/
Unclassifiable and three counties as Unclassifiable.
    This current action provides the EPA's intended designation of all
remaining undesignated areas. On or about December 20, 2017, consistent
with section 107(d)(1)(b)(ii) of the CAA, the EPA notified affected
states and tribes of the remaining recommended designations.\1\ While
the EPA is in agreement with the recommendations for most areas, the
EPA indicated that in some instances it intended to modify a state or
tribal recommends. States and tribes have the opportunity during the
120-day process to provide additional information for the EPA to
consider in making the final designation decisions. We stand ready to
assist and hope to resolve any differences regarding the proper
designation for all remaining areas within the 120-day process provided
by the CAA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Note that the EPA completed the area designations for the
U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands,
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the November 6, 2017,
designations action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Once designations take effect, they govern what subsequent
regulatory actions states, tribes, and the EPA must take in order to
improve or preserve air quality in each area.

II. Instructions for Submitting Public Comments and Internet Website
for Rulemaking Information

A. Invitation To Comment

    The purpose of this notice is to solicit input from interested
parties, other than the states and tribes to which we have sent
notification letters, on the EPA's recent responses to the designation
recommendations for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS. These responses, and their
supporting technical analyses, can be found at https://www.epa.gov/ozone-designations and in the public docket for these ozone
designations at Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0548. The EPA Docket
Office can be contacted at<PHONE_NUMBER>, and is located at EPA Docket
Center Reading Room, WJC West Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution
Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20004. The hours of operation at the EPA
Docket Center are 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.
    CAA section 107(d)(1) provides a process for air quality
designations that involves recommendations by states, territories, and
tribes to the EPA and responses from the EPA to those parties, prior to
the EPA promulgating final area designations and boundaries. The EPA is
not required under the CAA section 107(d)(1) to seek public comment
during the designation process, but we are electing to do so for these
areas with respect to the 2015 Ozone NAAQS in order to gather
additional information for the EPA to consider before making final
designations for the specific areas addressed in the EPA's recent
letters to states and tribes. The EPA invites public input on our
responses to states and tribes regarding these areas during the 30-day
comment period provided in this notice. In order to receive full
consideration, input from the public must be submitted to the docket by
February 5, 2018. This notice and opportunity for public comment does
not affect any rights or obligations of any state, or tribe, or of the
EPA, which might otherwise exist pursuant to the CAA section 107(d).
    Please refer to the ADDRESSES section in this document for specific
instructions on submitting comments and locating relevant public
documents.
    In establishing Nonattainment area boundaries for a particular
area, CAA section 107(d)(1)(A) requires the EPA to include within the
boundaries both the area that does not meet the standard and any nearby
area contributing to ambient air quality in the area that does not meet
the NAAQS. We are particularly interested in receiving comments,
supported by relevant information addressing the section 107(d)(1)(A)
criteria, if you believe that a specific geographic area should not be
categorized as Nonattainment, or if you

believe that an area the EPA had indicated that it intends to designate
as Attainment/Unclassifiable or Unclassifiable should in fact be
categorized Nonattainment based on the presence of a violating monitor
in the area or based on contribution to ambient air quality in a nearby
areas. Please be as specific as possible in supporting your views.
     Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
     Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives.
     Explain your views as clearly as possible.
     Provide your input by the comment period deadline
identified.
    The EPA intends to complete designations for all of the areas
addressed in the responses to the states and tribes no later than April
30, 2018. This would complete the designation process for the 2015
Ozone NAAQS.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for the EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI information to the EPA through
https://www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of
the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI in a disk or CD ROM
that you mail to the EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI
and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific
information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version
of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the
comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be
submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in
40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 2. Send or deliver
information identified as CBI only to the following address: Tiffany
Purifoy, OAQPS CBI Officer, U.S. EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning
and Standards, Mail Code C404-02, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711,
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email at [email protected], Attention
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0548.
    2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
     Identify the rulemaking by docket number and other
identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and
page number).
     Follow directions.
     Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives
and substitute language for your requested changes.

C. Where can I find additional information for this rulemaking?

    The EPA has also established a website for this rulemaking at
https://www.epa.gov/ozone-designations. The website includes the state,
territorial and tribal recommendations, the EPA's intended area
designations, information supporting the EPA's preliminary designation
decisions, the EPA's designation guidance for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS as
well as the rulemaking actions and other related information that the
public may find useful.

[Docket No. CP20-489-000]

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on June 30, 2020, Southern Star Central Gas
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 4700 State Route 56, Owensboro,
Kentucky 42301, filed an

application in the above referenced docket pursuant to sections 7(b) of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations
requesting authorization to abandon by sale to Fort Cobb Fuel
Authority, LLC (Fort Cobb) 388 domestic meters associated with farm
taps in the State of Oklahoma. Southern Star states that the transfer
of ownership of these domestic meters to a local distribution company
in Oklahoma will enable Southern Star to better manage its system while
ensuring that the domestic users behind these meters receive safe and
reliable service from an entity whose primary business is the local
distribution of natural gas. Southern Star further states that there
will be no change to Southern Star's certificated capacity and no
impact on firm shippers as a result of the proposed abandonment by
sale, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the
internet through the Commission's Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov) using
the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. At this time,
the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's Public
Reference Room, due to the proclamation declaring a National Emergency
concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the
President on March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact FERC at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TYY,
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Cindy Thompson, Manager, Regulatory, Southern Star Central Gas
Pipeline, Inc., 4700 State Route 56, Owensboro, KY 42301, or by calling
(270) 852-4655 or<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules (18 CFR 157.9),
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule will serve to
notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of
all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit five copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list and will be
notified of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental
review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve
copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party
commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other
parties or issued by the Commission and will not have the right to seek
court review of the Commission's final order.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new NGA section 3 or
section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a party to a
certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner. If seeking
to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to ``show good cause
why the time limitation should be waived,'' and should provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d)(1) of
the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\2\

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) received a request for a waiver of compliance with certain
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is
described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.

Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2006-24562]

    The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) seeks
approval to participate in a previously granted waiver of compliance
with the requirements of the Passenger Equipment Safety Standards
contained in 49 CFR 238.309(b)(3), Periodic brake equipment
maintenance, which requires that brake equipment receive periodic
maintenance at 736 days. The previously granted waiver was issued to
the Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corporation (METRA)
and authorized METRA to extend the time period from 736 days between
inspections to 1,840 days for 26 new bi-level electric passenger MU's.
    NICTD purchased 14 bi-level electric MU's that are equipped with
identical braking systems as the 26 electric MU locomotives for which
the relief was previously granted. The 14 NICTD cars are the subject of
this waiver request. The 14 NICTD cars and the 26 METRA cars were built
by Sumitomo Corporation of America/Nippon Sharyo and the air brake
system was provided by Knorr Brake Corporation, Westminster, Maryland.
NICTD explains in its petition that the brake application is
transmitted electronically to each MU's Friction Brake Control Unit
(FBCU). The FBCU then provides the requested brake application without
drawing down brake pipe pressure. An Emergency Magnetic Valve is
provided on each MU for an electronic emergency brake application.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-
2006-24562) and may be submitted by any of the following methods:

    Communications received within 45 days of the date of this notice
will be considered by FRA before final action is taken. Comments
received after that date will be considered as far as practicable. All
written communications concerning these proceedings are available for
examination during regular business hours (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) at the above
facility. All documents in the public docket are also available for
inspection and copying on the Internet at the docket facility's Web

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs During Production--
Recordkeeping and Registration Provisions--21 CFR 118.10 and 118.11

OMB Control Number 0910-0660--Extension

    This information collection supports Agency regulations in part 118
(21 CFR part 118), Production, Storage, and Transportation of Shell
Eggs, and Form FDA 3733, Shell Egg Producer Registration Form. The
Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 264) authorizes the
Secretary of Health and Human Services to make and enforce such
regulations as ``are necessary to prevent the introduction,
transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries
into the States . . . or from one State . . . into any other State''
(section 361(a) of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 264(a))). This authority has
been delegated to the Commissioner

of Food and Drugs. Under section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(4)), a food is
adulterated if it is prepared, packed, or held under insanitary
conditions whereby it may have been contaminated with filth or rendered
injurious to health. Under section 701(a) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
371(a)), FDA is authorized to issue regulations for the efficient
enforcement of the FD&C Act.
    Under part 118, shell egg producers are required to implement
measures to prevent Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) from contaminating eggs
on the farm and from further growth during storage and transportation.
Shell egg producers also are required to maintain records concerning
their compliance with part 118 and to register with FDA. As described
in more detail about each information collection provision of part 118,
each farm site with 3,000 or more egg laying hens that sells raw shell
eggs to the table egg market, other than directly to the consumer, must
refrigerate, register, and keep certain records. Farms that do not send
all of their eggs to treatment are also required to have an SE
prevention plan and to test for SE.
    Section 118.10 of FDA's regulations requires recordkeeping for all
measures the farm takes to prevent SE in its flocks. Since many
existing farms participate in voluntary egg quality assurance programs,
those respondents may not have to collect any additional information.
Records are maintained on file at each farm site and examined there
periodically by FDA inspectors.
    Section 118.10 also requires each farm site with 3,000 or more egg
laying hens that sells raw shell eggs to the table egg market, other
than directly to the consumer, and does not have all of the shell eggs
treated, to design and implement an SE prevention plan.
    Section 118.10 requires recordkeeping for each of the provisions
included in the plan and for plan review and modifications if
corrective actions are taken.
    Finally, Sec.  118.11 of FDA's regulations requires that each farm
covered by Sec.  118.1(a) register with FDA using Form FDA 3733. The
term ``Form FDA 3733'' refers to both the paper version of the form and
the electronic system known as the Shell Egg Producer Registration
Module, which is available at https://www.access.fda.gov. We strongly
encourage electronic registration because it is faster and more
convenient. The system can accept electronic registrations 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. A registering shell egg producer receives
confirmation of electronic registration instantaneously once all the
required fields on the registration screen are completed. However,
paper registrations will also be accepted. Form FDA 3733 is available
for download for registration by mail, fax or CD-ROM. For more
information, we invite you to visit our website at https://www.fda.gov/food/registration-food-facilities-and-other-submissions/shell-egg-producer-registration.
    Recordkeeping and registration are necessary for the success of the
SE prevention measures. Written SE prevention plans and records of
actions taken due to each provision are essential for farms to
implement SE prevention plans effectively. Further, they are essential
for us to be able to determine compliance. Information provided under
these regulations helps us to quickly notify the facilities that might
be affected by a deliberate or accidental contamination of the food
supply. In addition, data collected through registration is used to
support our enforcement activities.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this information
collection include farm sites with 3,000 or more egg laying hens that
sell raw eggs to the table egg market, other than directly to the
consumer.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does This Action Apply to Me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides
a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to certain entities. If you have any
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the person listed at the end of the pesticide petition
summary of interest.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have a typical or disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticides discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. What Action Is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 174 or part 180 for residues of pesticide
chemicals in or on various food commodities. EPA has determined that
the pesticide petitions described in this notice contain the data or
information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not
fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or
whether the data support granting of the pesticide petitions.
Additional data may be needed before EPA can make a final determination
on these pesticide petitions.
     Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this notice, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available on-line at http://
www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)),
EPA is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an
opportunity to

comment on this request for the establishment or modification of
regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food commodities.
Further information on the petition may be obtained through the
petition summary referenced in this unit.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0889; Directorate Identifier 2009-NE-35-AD;
Amendment 39-16953; AD 2012-03-11]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca S.A. Turboshaft Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 2B and 2B1 turboshaft engines. That AD
currently requires checking the transmissible torque between the low-
pressure (LP) pump impeller and the high-pressure (HP) pump shaft on
high-pressure/low-pressure (HP/LP) pump hydro-mechanical metering units
(HMUs) that do not incorporate Modification TU 147. This new AD
requires inspection and possible replacement of the HMU. This AD was
prompted by three additional cases of uncoupling of the HP/LP pump HMU
LP fuel pump impeller and the HP fuel pump shaft, since the existing AD
was issued. We are issuing this AD to prevent an uncommanded in-flight
shutdown, which can result in a forced autorotation landing or
accident.

DATES: This AD is effective March 20, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of March 20,
2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of March
11, 2010 (75 FR 5689, February 4, 2010).

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact
Turbomeca S.A., 40220 Tarnos, France; phone: 33-05-59-74-40-00, fax:
33-05-59-74-45-15. You may review copies of the referenced service
information at the FAA, Engine & Propeller Directorate, 12 New England
Executive Park, Burlington, MA. For information on the availability of
this material at the FAA, call<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2010-03-06, Amendment 39-16189 (75 FR 5689,
February 4, 2010). That AD applies to the specified products. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on November 7, 2011 (76 FR 68661).
That NPRM proposed to require inspection and possible replacement of
the HMU.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comment received on the proposal
and the FAA's response to that comment.

Claim That the Shop Rate Is Too Low

    One commenter, Advanced Helicopter Services, claimed that our shop
rate in the proposed AD was too low.
    We do not agree. We used the hourly labor rate determined by the
Office of Management and Budget. We did not change the AD.

Clarification of Paragraph (e)(1)(ii)

    Since we issued the NPRM (76 FR 68661, November 7, 2011), we
determined that paragraph (e)(1)(ii) was unclear and made changes to
clarify the population affected. We also reformatted the compliance
instruction in this paragraph for clarity.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the change described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD will
affect about 540 engines installed on helicopters of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it will take about 2.5 work-hours per engine to
comply with this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Replacement HMUs will cost about $12,000 per engine. Based on these
figures, if all of the HMUs were to fail the check, we estimate the
cost of the AD on U.S. operators to be $6,594,750.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
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.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 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 removing airworthiness directive (AD)
2010-03-06, Amendment 39-16189 (75 FR 5689, February 4, 2010), and
adding the following new AD:

2012-03-11 Turbomeca S.A.: Amendment 39-16953; Docket No. FAA-2009-
0889; Directorate Identifier 2009-NE-35-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective March 20, 2012.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2010-03-06, Amendment 39-16189 (75 FR
5689, February 4, 2010).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 2B and 2B1
turboshaft engines.

(d) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by three additional cases of uncoupling of
the high-pressure/low-pressure (HP/LP) pump hydro-mechanical
metering unit (HMU) low-pressure (LP) fuel pump impeller and the
high-pressure (HP) fuel pump shaft, since AD 2010-03-06 (75 FR 5689,
February 4, 2010) was issued. However, these failures were in HMUs
that were modified to post-TU 147 configuration HMUs. The
investigation indicates that these HMUs may also need to be
replaced. We are issuing this AD to prevent an uncommanded in-flight
shutdown, which can result in a forced autorotation landing or
accident.

(e) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
    (1) Check the transmissible torque between the LP fuel pump
impeller and the HP fuel pump shaft as follows:
    (i) For HMUs that do not incorporate Modification TU 147, check
the torque before accumulating 500 engine flight hours (EFH) since
March 11, 2010 (the effective date of AD 2010-03-06 (75 FR 5689,
February 4, 2010)). Use Paragraph 2 of Turbomeca Alert Mandatory
Service Bulletin (MSB) No. A292 73 2830, Version B, dated July 10,
2009, to do the check.
    (ii) For HMUs that incorporated Modification TU 147 on or before
March 31, 2010 and those HMUs that are not listed in Figures 2 or 3
of Turbomeca Alert MSB No. A292 73 2836, Version A, dated August 17,
2010:

    (A) Check the torque within 750 EFH from the effective date of
this AD, but no later than 14 months after the effective date of
this AD.
    (B) Use Paragraph 2 of Turbomeca Alert MSB No. A292 73 2836,
Version A, dated August 17, 2010, to do the check.
    (2) If the HMU does not pass the torque check, then replace the
HMU with an HMU that is eligible for installation.

(f) HMU Reinstallation

    Do not install any HMU removed from service by this AD until it
has been checked in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Turbomeca Alert
MSB No. A292 73 2836, Version A, dated August 17, 2010, or checked
in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Turbomeca Alert MSB No. A292 73
2830, Version B, dated July 10, 2009, and found eligible for
installation.

(g) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    The Manager, Engine Certification Office, may approve AMOCs for
this AD. Use the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to make your
request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The following is a summary of the
application. The complete application may be obtained via the
Commission's Web site by searching for the file number, or for an
applicant using the Company name box, at http://www.sec.gov/search/search.htm, or by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Summary of the Application

    1. Section 19(b) of the Act generally makes it unlawful for any
registered investment company (``fund'') to distribute long-term
capital gains more often than once every twelve months. Rule 19b-1
under the Act limits the number of capital gains dividends, as defined
in section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (``Code,''
and such dividends, ``distributions''), that a fund may make with
respect to any one taxable year to one, plus a supplemental
distribution made pursuant to section 855 of the Code not exceeding 10%
of the total amount distributed for the year, plus one additional
capital gain dividend made in whole or in part to avoid the excise tax
under section 4982 of the Code.
    2. Applicants believe that the Fund's stockholders may prefer an
investment vehicle that provides for more frequent capital gains
distributions and a consistent cash flow. Applicants propose that the
Fund be permitted to adopt a distribution policy pursuant to which the
Fund would distribute periodically to its stockholders a fixed monthly
percentage of the market price of the Fund's common stock at a
particular point in time or a fixed monthly percentage of net asset
value at a particular time or a fixed monthly

amount per share of common stock, any of which may be adjusted from
time to time (a ``Distribution Policy'').
    3. Applicants request an order under section 6(c) of the Act
granting an exemption from section 19(b) of the Act and rule 19b-1 to
permit the Fund to distribute periodic capital gain dividends (as
defined in section 852(b)(3)(C) of the Code) as frequently as twelve
times in any one taxable year in respect of its common stock and as
often as specified by, or determined in accordance with the terms of,
any preferred stock issued by the Fund. Section 6(c) of the Act
provides, in relevant part, that the Commission may exempt any person
or transaction from any provision of the Act to the extent that such
exemption is necessary or appropriate in the public interest and
consistent with the protection of investors and the purposes fairly
intended by the policy and provisions of the Act.
    4. Applicants state that any order granting the requested relief
will be subject to the terms and conditions stated in the application,
which generally are designed to address the concerns underlying section
19(b) and rule 19b-1, including concerns about proper disclosures and
shareholders' understanding of the source(s) of a Fund's distributions
and concerns about improper sales practices. Among other things, such
terms and conditions require that (1) the board of directors or
trustees of the Fund (the ``Board'') review such information as is
reasonably necessary to make an informed determination of whether to
adopt the proposed Distribution Policy and that the Board periodically
review the amount of the distributions in light of the investment
experience of the Fund, and (2) that the Fund's shareholders receive
appropriate disclosures concerning the distributions.

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