You have been selected from a list of vehicle owners living in the
Southeastern Michigan area to participate in a study of vehicle
emissions being conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Your participation in this program is strictly voluntary.  Testing may
take approximately 2 to 4 weeks, occasionally longer.  You can choose to
drop your car off at the EPA facility or we can pick it up at your
convenience at your home or workplace during normal working hours.

The following are incentives for participating in our program:

If your vehicle is accepted into the program, a full tank of gas and a
cash incentive will be awarded. You will be offered $20 per day if you
choose to use a loaner vehicle or $50 per day if you do not need a
loaner.  If your vehicle is brought to the EPA and it is rejected, you
will receive a $20 payment before you leave.

If you incentive is $600 or more we are required to ask for your Social
Security Number for tax purposes.  If you do not wish to provide your
social security number, you have the option to cap the total incentive
at $599.  Are you willing to provide your Social Security Number if your
incentive is $600 or more?  YES        NO

If NO, would you like the option to cap your incentive at $599?  YES
NO

Are you willing to participate?  YES       NO

If you are not, may we ask why not?

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0372]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Lower Mississippi River, Mile Markers 94 to 97 Above
Head of Passes, New Orleans, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a permanent safety zone
for the navigable waters of the Lower Mississippi River between mile
marker (MM) 94 and MM 97, above Head of Passes. This zone is necessary
to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters during
firework displays. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit vessels from
entering the safety zone before, during, and after the firework
displays unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector New
Orleans or a designated representative. This proposed safety zone would
be enforced only as necessary by the Captain of the Port Sector New
Orleans (COTP) through a Notice of Enforcement published in the Federal
Register and announced through Vessel Traffic Service Advisories,
Broadcast Notices to Mariners (BNMs), Local Notice to Mariners (LNMs),
and/or Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIBs) as appropriate. We
invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before July 18, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0372 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Lieutenant Commander Benjamin
Morgan, Sector New Orleans, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>,
email [email protected].

COTP Captain of the Port Sector New Orleans
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
MM Mile marker
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The Coast Guard Captain of the Port Sector New Orleans (COTP)
proposes to establish a permanent safety zone on the Lower Mississippi
River in order to better provide for the safety of life on navigable
waters during firework displays. The COTP has determined that a large
and increasing volume of the firework displays occurring within Sector
New Orleans' area of responsibility take place at locations between
mile markers (MMs) 94 and 97 above Head of Passes on the Lower
Mississippi River. Many of these events recur annually and are listed
in Table 5 of 33 CFR 165.801 titled Sector New Orleans Annual and
Recurring Safety Zones. However, a substantial and increasing number of
these firework displays are one-time events associated with
conventions, weddings, festivals, etc. By creating a permanent safety
zone that can be enforced through a notice of enforcement, the COTP
would be able to more efficiently provide for the safety of life.
    This notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) would reduce
administrative costs associated with issuing separate proposed rules
for each individual recurring safety zone. The number of one-time
firework displays occurring in this three-mile stretch of the Lower
Mississippi River has increased from approximately 6 or 7 events in the
years 2016 and 2017, up to approximately 11 events by April of 2018. In
addition, the Coast Guard has not received any comments, objections, or
complaints for the previous 22 safety zones established over the past
three years. Although the COTP expects the number of firework displays
to increase each year, neither the COTP nor this proposed rule control
the number of one-time firework displays occurring in any given year.
Finally, due to the limited duration of each waterway closure
associated with these firework displays, there is very little, if any,
impact to vessel traffic on these waters of the Lower Mississippi
River. Moreover, the proposed rule would allow vessels to seek
permission to enter the safety zone on a case-by-case basis from the
COTP or a designated representative.
    The COTP proposes this permanent safety zone in order to balance
the administrative burden and the needs of the public. The purpose of
this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of life on these navigable
waters within this three-mile segment of the Lower Mississippi River
before, during, and after firework displays. Potential hazards
associated with firework displays include the accidental discharge of
fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling embers or other debris.
This safety zone covers a three-mile stretch of the river that includes
several launching locations where firework displays are most commonly
located. However, the COTP has determined that potential hazards
associated with each individual fireworks display is a safety concern
for vessels navigating within a one-mile stretch of the Lower
Mississippi River around a particular launch location. The Coast Guard
proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP proposes to establish a permanent safety zone between mile
marker (MM) 94 and MM 97 on the Lower Mississippi River. While this
zone would encompass a three-mile section of the waterway, the COTP
would limit the enforcement of the zone only to the areas necessary for
the protection of life on these navigable waters before, during, and
after the fireworks. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter
the safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a
designated representative. A designated representative means any Coast
Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty officer of the U.S. Coast Guard
assigned to units under the operational control of USCG Sector New
Orleans. Persons and vessels requiring entry into this proposed safety
zone must request permission from the COTP or a

designated representative. They may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16
or 67 or by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Persons and vessels permitted
to enter the proposed safety zone must transit at their slowest safe
speed and comply with all lawful directions issued by the COTP or the
designated representative.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 165.7, for each enforcement of the safety
zone established under this proposed rule, the COTP would publish a
notice of enforcement in the Federal Register as early as is
practicable. The COTP or a designated representative would inform the
public of the enforcement area and period of this safety zone through
Vessel Traffic Service Advisories, Broadcast Notices to Mariners
(BNMs), Local Notice to Mariners (LNMs), and/or Marine Safety
Information Bulletins (MSIBs) as appropriate. The regulatory text we
are proposing appears at the end of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
duration, and location of the safety zone. While this zone would be
permanent, it would only be enforced on an as needed basis to better
regulate marine events in the area. This typically encompasses one-hour
operations for a one-mile portion of the waterway.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a preliminary
determination that this action is one of a category of actions that do
not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This proposed rule involves establishing a permanent
safety zone on the Lower Mississippi River. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A
preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the

outcome of this rulemaking. If you submit a comment, please include the
docket number for this rulemaking, indicate the specific section of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Louisiana Department of Transportation
and Development has requested a temporary deviation from the operating
schedule for the swing span bridge across Boudreaux Canal, mile 0.1, at
Chauvin, Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The swing span bridge has a
vertical clearance of 5 feet above high water, elevation 3 feet Mean
Sea Level in the closed-to-navigation position and unlimited in the
open-to-navigation position.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, the bridge currently opens on
signal for the passage of vessels. This deviation allows the swing span
of the bridge to remain closed-to-navigation Monday through Saturday
during the times and dates as follows: From 6 a.m. through 6 p.m. from
Monday, March 5, 2012 through Saturday, March 10, 2012; and from 7 a.m.
through 7 p.m. from Monday, March 12, 2012 through Wednesday, April 4,
2012. During the deviation period, the swing span of the bridge will
open for the passage of vessels from 12 noon to 1 p.m. each work day.
    The closures are necessary in order to remove broken and
deteriorated bottom lateral cross braces and install I-beam stringers
on the bridge deck, as well as to remove and replace splice plate bolts
which fasten the two sections of main span girders along the two
longitudinal sides of the bridge deck. This maintenance is essential
for the continued operation of the bridge. Notices will be published in
the Eighth Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners and will be
broadcast via the Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to Mariners System.
    Navigation on the waterway consists of tugs with tows, fishing
vessels and recreational craft. The bridge will be able to open for
emergencies, if necessary. There are no alternate waterway routes
available. Based on experience and coordination with waterway users, it
has been determined that these closures will not have a significant
effect on vessels that use the waterway.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: January 10, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On October 1, 2015, EPA promulgated a revised primary and secondary
NAAQS for ozone, revising the 8-hour ozone standards from 0.075 parts
per million (ppm) to a new more protective level of 0.070 ppm. See 80
FR 65292 (October 26, 2015). Pursuant to section 110(a)(1) of the CAA,
states are required to submit SIP revisions meeting the applicable
requirements of section 110(a)(2) within three years after promulgation
of a new or revised NAAQS or within such shorter period as EPA may
prescribe. Section 110(a)(2) requires states to address basic SIP
elements such as requirements for monitoring, basic program
requirements, and legal authority that are designed to assure
attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. This particular type of SIP is
commonly referred to as an ``infrastructure SIP'' or ``iSIP.'' States
were required to submit such SIP revisions for the 2015 8-hour ozone
NAAQS to EPA no later than October 1, 2018.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In infrastructure SIP submissions, states generally certify
evidence of compliance with sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA
through a combination of state regulations and statutes, some of
which have been incorporated into the SIP. In addition, certain
federally-approved, non-SIP regulations may also be appropriate for
demonstrating compliance with sections 110(a)(1) and (2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 24, 2018, Georgia met its requirement to submit an
iSIP for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS by the October 1, 2018, deadline.
EPA subsequently approved most of the infrastructure SIP elements for
the 2015 Ozone NAAQS for the State. 2 3  However, regarding
the PSD elements of section 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II) (prong 3), and (J)
(hereinafter referred to as element C, Prong 3, and element J,
respectively), EPA conditionally approved \4\ these portions of
Georgia's iSIP submission because of outdated references to the federal
guideline on air quality modeling found in Appendix W of 40 CFR part
51.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ For the State of Georgia, EPA approved most elements, except
for the Prong 1 and Prong 2 interstate transport provisions, and the
PSD provisions (elements C, Prong 3, and J), on March 11, 2020. See
85 FR 14147.
    \3\ The Prong 1 and Prong 2 interstate transport provisions for
Georgia, were approved on 12/2/2021. See 86 FR 68413.
    \4\ Under CAA section 110(k)(4), EPA may conditionally approve a
SIP revision based on a commitment from a state to adopt specific
enforceable measures by a date certain, but not later than one year
from the date of approval. If the state fails to meet the commitment
within one year of the final conditional approval, the conditional
approval will be treated as a disapproval and EPA will issue a
finding of disapproval.
    \5\ EPA conditionally approved the PSD provisions of element C,
Prong 3, and element J on April 15, 2020. See 85 FR 20836. The
notice of proposed rulemaking associated with the conditional
approval provides additional information regarding the CAA's PSD
iSIP provisions. See 85 FR 7695 (February 11, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For elements C and J to be approved for PSD, a state needs to
demonstrate that its SIP meets the PSD-related infrastructure
requirements of these sections. These requirements are met if the
state's implementation plan includes a PSD program that meets current
federal requirements. Element D(i)(II) (prong 3) is also approvable
when a state's implementation plan contains a fully approved PSD
program. EPA's PSD regulations at 40 CFR

51.166(l) require that modeling be conducted in accordance with
Appendix W, Guideline on Air Quality Models. EPA promulgated the most
current version of Appendix W on January 17, 2017. See 82 FR 5182.
Therefore, in order to approve the iSIP PSD elements for the 2015 8-
hour ozone NAAQS, PSD regulations in SIPs are required to reference the
most current version of Appendix W.
    As discussed in the conditional approval for the 2015 ozone iSIP
PSD elements, Georgia's SIP contained outdated references to Appendix
W, and the State committed to update the outdated references and submit
a SIP revision within one year of EPA's final rule conditionally
approving these PSD elements. Accordingly, Georgia was required to make
its submission by April 15, 2021. Georgia met this commitment by
submitting a SIP revision to correct the deficiencies on September 1,
2020.
    Through a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), published on March
16, 2022, EPA proposed to approve the September 1, 2020, revision to
the SIP-approved PSD rule and proposed to convert the conditional
approval to a full approval for Georgia, regarding element C, Prong 3,
and element J, for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS infrastructure SIP.\6\
See 87 FR 14817. Comments on the March 16, 2022, NPRM were due on or
before April 15, 2022. EPA did not receive any comments on the March
16, 2022, NPRM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ EPA notes that in the March 16, 2022, NPRM, several
references to the Georgia rules incorporated by reference contained
typographical errors. References to 391-1-.02(7)(b)(21)(xi) and 391-
1-.02(7)(b)9, in the March 16, 2022, NPRM, should have read 391-
1-.02(7)(b)21.(xi) and 391-1-.02(7)(b)9. instead. See 87 FR 14817,
at page 14818. Similarly, in the ``Proposed Action'' section of the
March 16, 2022, NPRM, the reference to Georgia rule 391-1-02(7),
should have read 391-1- .02(7) instead. See 87 FR 14817 at page
14819.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of Georgia Rule
391-3-1-.02(7), titled ``Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air
Quality,'' state effective July 29, 2020.\7\ EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 Office (please contact the
person identified in the For Further Information Contact section of
this preamble for more information). Therefore, these materials have
been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated
by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the
final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by
reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ This incorporation by reference excludes the automatic
recission clause at 391-3-1-.02(7)(a)(2)(iv), and portions of Rule
391-3-1-.02(7) incorporating by reference 40 CFR 52.21(b)(2)(v), and
40 CFR 52.21(b)(3)(iii)(c). See 40 CFR 52.570(c).
    \8\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Final Action

    EPA is finalizing approval of the aforementioned changes to the
Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(7), Prevention of Significant Deterioration of
Air Quality. EPA is also converting the conditional approval for
element C, Prong 3, and element J, for the 2015 8-hour ozone
Infrastructure SIPs to a full approval based on these revisions to the
SIP-approved PSD regulations for Georgia.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided they meet the criteria of the CAA. This actions merely
approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by July 8, 2022. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2) of the CAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2019-42, dated November
8, 2019 (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 &
440) airplanes, Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702)
airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, and
Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes; and all
Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2C11 (Regional Jet Series 550)
airplanes. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at
https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2020-0092.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier,
Inc., Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes,
Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702) airplanes, Model
CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, and Model CL-600-2D24
(Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes; and all Bombardier, Inc., Model
CL-600-2C11 (Regional Jet Series 550) airplanes. The NPRM published in
the Federal Register on February 18, 2020 (85 FR 8768). The NPRM was
prompted by reports of fractured rudder primary feel unit shafts; a
subsequent investigation determined that the fractures in the shafts
are consistent with fatigue damage. The NPRM proposed to require
replacement of the rudder primary feel unit shaft. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address fractures of the rudder primary feel unit shaft,
which could result in a loss of feel in the yaw axis and thereby impact
the controllability of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA has considered the comments
received. The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) and
Jacob Yepiz stated support for the NPRM.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for minor
editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 601R-27-166, dated April 5,
2019; and Service Bulletin 670BA-27-075, dated April 5, 2019. This
service information describes procedures for replacing the rudder
primary feel unit shaft that has part number 600-90251-1 with a new
shaft. These documents are distinct since they apply to different
airplane models. 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1,002 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18 work-hours x $85 per hour = $1,530........................            $158           $1,688       $1,691,376
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, the FAA has included all known 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.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

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