ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of the draft guidance entitled ``Medical Device Data
Systems, Medical Image Storage Devices, and Medical Image Communication
Devices.'' FDA is issuing this document to inform manufacturers,
distributors, and other entities that the Agency does not intend to
enforce compliance with the regulatory controls that apply to Medical
Device Data Systems (MDDS), medical image storage devices, and medical
image communications devices, due to the low risk they pose to patients
and the importance they play in advancing digital health. In this
document, FDA is also proposing changes to its guidance entitled
``Mobile Medical Applications,'' issued on September 25, 2013, to
conform to the proposed policy discussed in this draft guidance
document. This draft guidance is not final nor is it in effect at this
time.

DATES: Although you can comment on any guidance at any time (see 21 CFR
10.115(g)(5)), to ensure that the Agency considers your comment of this
draft guidance before it begins work on the final version of the
guidance, submit either electronic or written comments on the draft
guidance by August 25, 2014.

ADDRESSES: An electronic copy of the guidance document is available for
download from the Internet. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA recognizes that the progression to digital health offers the
potential for better, more efficient patient care and improved health
outcomes. To achieve this goal requires that many medical devices be
interoperable with various types of health information technology,
including other types of medical devices. The foundation for such
inter-communication is hardware and software that transfer, store,
convert formats, and display medical device data. FDA has called such
technologies MDDS. A MDDS does not modify the data, and it does not
control the functions or parameters of any connected medical device.
MDDS are not intended to be used for active patient monitoring.
    On February 15, 2011 (76 FR 8637), FDA issued a regulation down-
classifying MDDS from class III (high-risk) to class I (low-risk).
Class I devices are subject to general controls under the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Since then, FDA has gained additional
experience with these types of technologies and has determined that
these devices pose a low risk to the public. Therefore, this document
proposes a compliance policy whereby FDA would not intend to enforce
compliance with the regulatory controls that apply to MDDS devices,
medical image storage devices, and medical image communications
devices.
    This document also proposes changes to the Agency's 2013 guidance
entitled ``Mobile Medical Applications'' which would conform to the
policy stated in this document, once this document is finalized. Upon
finalization, the description of these conforming changes will be
removed from this document and FDA will issue an updated version of the
``Mobile Medical Applications'' guidance that incorporates these
changes.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the Agency's current thinking on medical
device data systems, medical image storage devices, and medical image
communications devices. It does not create or confer any rights for or
on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An
alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statute and regulations.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the draft guidance may do
so by downloading an electronic copy from the Internet. A search
capability for all CDRH guidance documents is available at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm. Guidance documents are also available at
http://www.regulations.gov. Persons unable to download an electronic
copy of ``Medical Device Data Systems, Medical Image Storage Devices,
and Medical Image Communication Devices'' may send an email request to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to receive an electronic copy of the
document. Please use the document number 1400021 to identify the
guidance you are requesting.

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    FDA tentatively concludes that this draft guidance contains no
collection of information. Therefore, clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 is not
required.

V. Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to
send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number
found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of June 1, 2018, FDA published a notice
with a 60-day comment period to request comments on the draft guidance
for industry entitled ``Development of Shared System REMS.'' This draft
guidance describes some of the possible benefits of a shared system
REMS and provides general principles and recommendations to assist
industry with the development of these programs. Section 610 of the
Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Pub. L. 116-94, 133
Stat. 3524 (December 20, 2019)), amended section 505-1(i) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 351-1(i)), regarding
the requirement that a drug that is the subject of an abbreviated new
drug application (ANDA) and its reference listed drug use a single,
shared system for the elements to assure safe use unless FDA waives
that requirement. We intend to revise the draft guidance accordingly.
The Agency continues to recognize that shared system REMS may be in the
interest of public health.
    FDA is reopening the comment period until May 18, 2020. FDA is
interested in receiving additional input regarding any further steps
the Agency could take to facilitate successful formation of shared
system REMS. In particular, FDA is seeking comment on the challenges
and successes with: (1) Negotiating governance agreements among parties
involved in a shared system REMS and (2) developing effective shared
system REMS programs. The Agency believes that an additional 60 days
will allow adequate time for interested persons to submit comments
without compromising the timely publication of the final version of the
guidance.

II. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the draft guidance
at either https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm or

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211-Trent 800 Series
Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

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

    During 2004, an incident was reported involving uncontained
multiple intermediate-pressure (IP) turbine blade release on a Trent
700 engine. The blade release was the result of an overspeed of the
IP turbine rotor that was initiated by an internal fire in the high-
pressure/intermediate-pressure (HP/IP) bearing chamber. Post-
incident analysis and investigation has established that blockage of
the HP/IP turbine bearing oil vent tube due

to carbon deposits was a significant factor in the failure sequence.
The Trent 800 has a similar type design standard to that of the
Trent 700 and has also been found in service to be susceptible to
carbon deposits in the oil vent tube.

We are proposing this AD to prevent internal oil fires due to coking
and carbon buildup in the HP/IP turbine bearing oil vent tube that
could cause uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 4,
2010.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://
www.regulations.gov and follow the instructions for sending your
comments electronically.

Act Statement in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (65
FR 19477-78).

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, notified us that
an unsafe condition may exist on Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 800 series
turbofan engines. The MCAI states:

    During 2004, an incident was reported involving uncontained
multiple IP turbine blade release on a Trent 700 engine. The blade
release was the result of an overspeed of the IP turbine rotor that
was initiated by an internal fire in the HP/IP bearing chamber.
Post-incident analysis and investigation has established that
blockage of the HP/IP turbine bearing oil vent tube due to carbon
deposits was a significant factor in the failure sequence. The Trent
800 has a similar type design standard to that of the Trent 700 and
has also been found in service to be susceptible to carbon deposits
in the oil vent tube.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Rolls-Royce plc has issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. RB.211-
72-AE362, Revision 1, dated April 3, 2009. The actions described in
this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of the
United Kingdom (U.K.) and is approved for operation in the United
States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the U.K., EASA has
notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. We are
proposing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by EASA
and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same type design. This proposed AD
would require inspection of the HP/IP turbine vent tube and bearing
chamber during each shop visit of the engine for coking and carbon
buildup in the HP/IP turbine bearing oil vent tube.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 138 RB211 Trent 800 series turbofan engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would
take about one work-hour per engine to comply with this proposed AD.
The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts would cost
about $2,000 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $287,040.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;

    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Rolls-Royce plc: Docket No. FAA-2009-1004; Directorate Identifier
2009-NE-36-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by February 4, 2010.

Affected Airworthiness Directives (ADs)

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc RB211-Trent 875-17, Trent
877-17, Trent 884-17, Trent 884B-17, Trent 892-17, Trent 892B-17,
and Trent 895-17 turbofan engines. These engines are installed on,
but not limited to, Boeing 777 series airplanes.

Reason

    (d) During 2004, an incident was reported involving uncontained
multiple intermediate-pressure (IP) turbine blade release on a Trent
700 engine. The blade release was the result of an overspeed of the
IP turbine rotor that was initiated by an internal fire in the high-
pressure/intermediate-pressure (HP/IP) bearing chamber. Post-
incident analysis and investigation has established that blockage of
the HP/IP turbine bearing oil vent tube due to carbon deposits was a
significant factor in the failure sequence. The Trent 800 has a
similar type design standard to that of the Trent 700 and has also
been found in service to be susceptible to carbon deposits in the
oil vent tube.
    This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30585; Amdt. No. 3249]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective December 31, 2007. The compliance date
for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of December 31, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located;
    3. The National Flight Procedures Office, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html
.

    Availability--All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available
online free of charge. Visit nfdc.faa.gov to register. Additionally,
individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP copies may be obtained
from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harry. J. Hodges, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs Division,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition
to their complex nature and the need for a special format make
publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical.
Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on
charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the
advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and

publication of the complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums
and ODP listed on FAA forms is unnecessary. This amendment provides the
affected CFR sections and specifies the types of SIAPs and the
effective dates of the SIAPs, the associated Takeoff Minimums, and
ODPs. This amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the
procedure, and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure before adopting these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs
are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in
less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(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);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

[Docket No. FAA-2017-0182; Airspace Docket No. 17-ASW-3]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Arkadelphia, AR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Dexter B. Florence Memorial Field Airport,
Arkadelphia, AR. This action is necessary due to the decommissioning of
the Arkadelphia non-directional radio beacon (NDB) and cancellation of
the NDB approach. This action enhances the safety and management of
standard instrument approach procedures for instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at the airport. This action also, updates the airport
name in the legal description from Arkadelphia Municipal Airport to
Dexter B. Florence Memorial Field Airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 7, 2017. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Dexter B. Florence Memorial Field Airport, Arkadelphia, AR,
in support of standard instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at the airport.

History

    On April 20, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR
18600) Docket No. FAA-2017-0182, a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Dexter B. Florence Memorial Field Airport, Arkadelphia, AR.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within a 6.6-mile radius to 6.5 miles and removing the 5.2-
mile wide segment (2.6 miles each side of the 222[deg] bearing) from
the Arkadelphia RBN extending from the 6.6-mile radius to 10.7 miles
southwest of the Dexter B. Florence Memorial Field Airport (updated in
the legal description from Arkadelphia Municipal Airport).
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning
and cancellation of the Arkadelphia NDB and NDB approaches, which would
enhance the safety and management of the standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at the airport.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental

Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental
