ACTION: Notice of renewal of exemptions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew the exemptions from the
vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for
9 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals from
the vision requirement if the exemptions granted will not compromise
safety. The Agency has concluded that granting these exemption renewals
will provide a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than
the level of safety maintained without the exemptions for these
commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

DATES: This decision is effective January 24, 2014. Comments must be
received on or before February 12, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-year period if it
finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 9 individuals who have requested renewal of
their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 9 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:

Morris R. Beebe, II (CO)
Marion J. Coleman, Jr. (KY)
Mark A. Ferris (IA)
Herman Martinez (NM)
Gilford J. Whittle (GA)
Adam O. Carson (MS)
Lex A. Fabrizio (UT)
Roger W. Hammack (AL)
Greg W. Story (NC)

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual has a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10),
and (b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is
otherwise physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each
individual provides a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's
report to the medical examiner at the time of the annual medical
examination; and (3) that each individual provide a copy of the annual
medical certification to the employer for retention in the driver's
qualification file and retains a copy of the certification on his/her
person while driving for presentation to a duly authorized Federal,
State, or local enforcement official. Each exemption will be valid for
two years unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be
rescinded if: (1) The person fails to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower
level of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315.

Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 9 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (68 FR 37197; 68 FR 48989; 70 FR 42615; 72 FR 40360; 74 FR
34632; 76 FR 64164; 76 FR 73769; 76 FR 75940; 76 FR 78729; 77 FR 541;
77 FR 3547). Each of these 9 applicants has requested renewal of the
exemption and has submitted evidence showing that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the requirement specified at 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10) and that the vision impairment is stable. In addition, a
review of each record of safety while driving with the respective
vision deficiencies over the past two years indicates each applicant
continues to meet the vision exemption requirements. These factors
provide an adequate basis for predicting each driver's ability to
continue to drive safely in interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA
concludes that extending the exemption for each renewal applicant for a
period of two years is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to
that existing without the exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by February 12, 2014.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 9 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was made on the merits of each
case and made only after careful consideration of the comments received
to its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-09-
07, which applies to all The Boeing Company Model 787 airplanes. AD
2015-09-07 requires a repetitive maintenance task for electrical power
deactivation. Since we issued AD 2015-09-07, Boeing has developed new
software for the generator control unit (GCU) that addresses the
software counter overflow anomaly that prompted the issuance of AD
2015-09-07. This proposed AD would require installing the new GCU
software. This proposed AD would also remove certain airplanes from the
applicability. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 29,
2017.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    On April 23, 2015, we issued AD 2015-09-07, Amendment 39-18153 (80
FR 24789, May 1, 2015) (``AD 2015-09-07''), for all The Boeing Company
Model 787 airplanes. AD 2015-09-07 requires a repetitive maintenance
task for electrical power deactivation on Model 787 airplanes. AD 2015-
09-07 resulted from the determination that a Model 787 airplane that
has been powered continuously for 248 days can lose all alternating
current (AC) electrical power due to the GCUs simultaneously going into
failsafe mode. This condition is caused by a software counter internal
to the GCUs that will overflow after 248 days of continuous power. We
issued AD 2015-09-07 to prevent loss of all AC electrical power, which
could result in loss of control of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2015-09-07 Was Issued

    The preamble to AD 2015-09-07 specifies that we consider the
requirements ``interim action'' and that the manufacturer is developing
a modification to address the unsafe condition. That AD explains that
we might consider further rulemaking if a modification is developed,
approved, and available. Since we issued AD 2015-09-07, Boeing has
developed new software for the Model 787 GCU that addresses the
software counter overflow anomaly that prompted the issuance of AD
2015-09-07. Installation of the new software eliminates the need for
performing the repetitive maintenance

actions (i.e., repetitive electrical power deactivations) that were
mandated by AD 2015-09-07 as a means of mitigating the GCU software
counter overflow anomaly.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following service information.
     Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB240063-00, Issue 002,
dated June 7, 2016, which describes procedures for installing
operational program software (OPS) into each of the six GCUs and doing
a software check. This service information specifies to concurrently
accomplish the following two service bulletins:
     Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB280018-00, Issue 001,
dated April 17, 2014, which describes procedures for installing fuel
quantity management program software and doing a software check.
     Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB420006-00, Issue 003,
dated October 15, 2015, which describes procedures for installing
common interface control document 9.3 software and doing a software
check.
     Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-15-0248-01B, dated
April 19, 2015; and Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-15-0248-
01B(R1), dated April 20, 2015. This service information describes
procedures for electrical power deactivation of Model 787 airplanes.
These documents are distinct due to editorial revisions.
    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 the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2015-09-07.
However, this proposed AD removes certain airplanes from the
applicability of AD 2015-09-07, which affects all Model 787 airplanes.
The new software specified in Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-
SB240063-00, Issue 002, dated June 7, 2016, has already been installed
on airplanes having line numbers 4, 5, 10, 12-19, 22, 369, 371, 373,
and 375-552 and will be installed in production on line numbers 553 and
subsequent. Line numbers 1, 2, and 3 are no longer in service.
Therefore, this proposed AD only affects airplanes identified in Boeing
Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB240063-00, Issue 002, dated June 7, 2016.
    This proposed AD would also require installing the new software and
accomplishing applicable corrective actions specified in the service
information described previously. For information on the procedures and
compliance times, see this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-
0771.
    The phrase ``corrective actions'' is used in this proposed AD.
Corrective actions correct or address any condition found. Corrective
actions in an AD could include, for example, repairs.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Boeing Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB240063-00, Issue 002, dated
June 7, 2016, states that this revision has no effect on airplanes on
which Issue 001 was previously done. However, this proposed AD will
require additional action for Group 2 airplanes. Operators of Group 2
airplanes will be required to accomplish the actions in Boeing Service
Bulletin B787-81205-SB420006-00, issue 003, dated October 15, 2015, on
those airplanes.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 47 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all available costs in our
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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII,

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General requirements.'' Under
that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of
civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes to the Director of the System Oversight
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We have 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 that the 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),
    (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.

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2015-09-07, Amendment 39-18153 (80 FR 24789, May 1, 2015), and adding
the following new AD:

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2017-0771; Product Identifier
2016-NM-212-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by September 29,
2017.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2015-09-07, Amendment 39-18153 (80 FR 24789,
May 1, 2015) (``AD 2015-09-07'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 787-8 and 787-9
airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing
Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB240063-00, Issue 002, dated June 7,
2016.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24, Electrical
power.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the determination that a Model 787
airplane that has been powered continuously for 248 days can lose
all alternating current (AC) electrical power due to the generator
control units (GCUs) simultaneously going into failsafe mode. This
condition is caused by a software counter internal to the GCUs that
will overflow after 248 days of continuous power. We are issuing
this AD to prevent loss of all AC electrical power, which could
result in loss of control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Retained Repetitive Maintenance Task: Electrical Power Deactivation
With a New Reference To Terminating Action

    This paragraph restates the actions required by paragraph (g) of
AD 2015-09-07, with a new reference to terminating action. At the
latest of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), and
(g)(3) of this AD, accomplish electrical power deactivation on the
airplane, in accordance with step 2) in ``DESIRED ACTION'' of Boeing
Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-15-0248-01B, dated April 19, 2015; or
Boeing Multi Operator Message MOM-MOM-15-0248-01B(R1), dated April
20, 2015. The main and auxiliary power unit (APU) batteries do not

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found
in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request
to your principal inspector or local Flight Standards District
Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to the
manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of the
person identified in paragraph (l)(1) of this AD. Information may be
emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Seattle ACO Branch, to make those findings. To be approved,
the repair method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation
must meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval
must specifically refer to this AD.

(k)(5)(i) and (k)(5)(ii) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The basic purpose of the information collection requirements in the
Standard is to document that employers in general industry are
providing their workers with protection from hazardous asbestos
exposure. Asbestos exposure results in asbestosis, an emphysema-like
condition; lung cancer; mesothelioma; and gastrointestinal cancer.
    Several provisions of the Standard specify paperwork requirements,
including:
    Implementing an exposure monitoring program that notifies workers
of their exposure monitoring results; establishing a written compliance
program; and informing laundry personnel of the requirement to prevent
release of airborne asbestos above the time-weighted average and
excursion limit. Other provisions associated with paperwork
requirements include: Maintaining records of information obtained
concerning the presence, location, and quantity of asbestos-containing
materials (ACMs) and/or presumed asbestos-containing materials (PACMs)
in a building/facility; notifying housekeeping workers of the presence
and location of ACMs and PACMs in areas they may contact during their
work; posting warning signs demarcating regulated areas; posting signs
in mechanical rooms/areas that workers may enter and that contain ACMs
and PACMs, informing them of the identity and location of these
materials and work practices that prevent disturbing the materials; and
affixing warning labels to asbestos-containing products and to
containers holding such products. Additional provisions that contain
paperwork requirements include: Developing specific information and
training programs for workers; using information, data, and analyses to
demonstrate that PACMs do not contain asbestos; providing medical
surveillance for workers potentially exposed to ACMs and/or PACMs,
including administering a worker medical questionnaire, providing
information to the examining physician, and providing the physician's
written opinion to the worker; maintaining exposure monitoring records,
objective data used for exposure determinations, and medical
surveillance; making specified records (e.g., exposure monitoring and
medical surveillance records) available to designated parties; and
transferring exposure monitoring and medical surveillance records to
the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) on
cessation of business, if so requested by NIOSH.
    These paperwork requirements permit employers, workers and their
designated representatives, OSHA, and other specified parties to
determine the effectiveness of an employer's asbestos-control program.
Accordingly, the requirements ensure that workers exposed to asbestos
receive all of the protection afforded by the Standard.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the Standard on Asbestos in
General Industry (29 CFR 1910.1001). The Agency is requesting to reduce
the burden hours associated with the Standard from 23,849 to 11,933 for
a total reduction of 11,916 burden hours. The primary reason for this
reduction is that the estimated number of affected

facilities covered by this Standard has been reduced.
    The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to
this notice, and will include this summary in the request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
    Title: Asbestos in General Industry (29 CFR 1910.1001).
    OMB Number: 1218-0133.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 243.
    Frequency: Annually; semi-annually.
    Average Time per Response: Varies from 5 minutes to maintain

[ Project No. 13471-001]

FFP Project 61 LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications

    On September 4, 2012, FFP Project 61, LLC filed an application for
a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project
located on the Mississippi River, near Arbroth, in West Baton Rouge and
East Baton Rouge Parishes, Louisiana. The sole purpose of a preliminary
permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a
license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does
not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others
without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed Point Menoir hydrokinetic project would consist of the
following: (1) Up to 1,434 SmarTurbine generating units installed in
arrays on the bottom of the river; (2) the total capacity of the
installation would be up to 57,360 kilowatts; (3) flexible cables would
convey each arrays power to a metering station; and (4) a transmission
line would interconnect with the power grid. The proposed project would
have an average annual generation of 130,450,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh),
which would be sold to a local utility.
