SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-95987; File No. SR-CBOE-2022-041]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing of Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, To Amend Exchange
Rule 5.34(b) Related to Price Protections and Risk Controls for Complex
Orders

October 5, 2022.

I. Introduction

    On August 4, 2022, Cboe Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'' or ``Cboe
Options'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend Exchange Rule 5.34(b) to
revise the definition of butterfly spread and to adopt a new buy
strategy price check that will reject or cancel vertical or butterfly
spread orders to buy that have a price of zero and are not designated
as either Immediate-or-Cancel (``IOC'') or Direct to PAR.\3\ The
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register
on August 23, 2022.\4\ On September 14, 2022, the Exchange filed
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.\5\ The Commission has
received no comment letters regarding the proposal. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comment on Amendment No. 1 and is
approving the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on
an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Under the Exchange's rules, an Immediate-or-Cancel or IOC
order is a limit order that must execute in whole or in part as soon
as the System receives it; the System cancels and does not post to
the Book an IOC order (or unexecuted portion) not executed
immediately on the Exchange or another options exchange. Users may
designate bulk messages as IOC. A User may not designate an IOC
order as Direct to PAR. A Direct to PAR order is an order a User
designates to be routed directly to a specified PAR workstation for
manual handling. A User must designate a Direct to PAR order as RTH
Only. See Exchange Rule 5.6(b).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 95520 (August 17,
2022), 87 FR 51723 (``Notice'').
    \5\ Amendment No. 1 revises the proposal to (1) correct an error
in the description section of the Form 19b-4 by stating that the
component legs of a butterfly spread order have different strike
prices; (2) provide additional explanation by stating that, in rare
circumstances, market participants may seek to sell a vertical or
butterfly spread at a price of zero to liquidate a position; (3)
state that the proposal continues to provide execution opportunities
for vertical and butterfly spread buy orders priced at zero through
the IOC instruction or manual handling, while preventing these
orders from overwhelming the Complex Order Book (``COB''); (4) state
that the proposed price check does not extend to zero-priced
vertical or butterfly spread sell orders, which will continue to be
permitted to rest on the COB; (5) correct an error in the
description section of the Form 19b-4 by stating that between
January and July 2022, only 1.3% of the approximately 177 million
zero-priced vertical and butterfly spread contracts (rather than
orders) of the approximately 6.5 million orders submitted to rest in
the COB, were filled; and (6) state that zero-bid vertical or
butterfly spread orders may be submitted as part of a paired order
as a cross on the trading floor or to a Complex Automated
Improvement Mechanism (``C-AIM'') auction. Amendment No. 1 makes no
changes to Exhibit 5 of the proposal. Amendment No. 1 is available
on the Commission's website at https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboe-2022-041/srcboe2022041.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment
No. 1

    As described more fully in the Notice, the Exchange proposes to
amend Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(4) to adopt a new buy strategy price check
for complex orders. Under proposed Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(4)(B), the
System cancels or rejects a vertical or butterfly spread order to buy
that has a price of zero and is not designated as either IOC or Direct
to PAR, and the System does not initiate a Complex Order Auction
(``COA'') with a vertical or butterfly spread order to buy that has a
price of zero unless the order is auctioned via PAR.\6\ The

Exchange may apply the proposed price check on a class-by-class
basis.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For purposes of Exchange Rule 5.34(b), a vertical spread is
a two-legged complex order with one leg to buy a number of calls
(puts) and one leg to sell the same number of calls (puts) with the
same expiration date but different exercise prices, except as set
forth in Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(3)(A). See Exchange Rule
5.34(b)(1)(A). As discussed below, Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(1)(B), as
proposed to be amended, defines a butterfly spread as a three-legged
complex order with two legs to buy (sell) the same number of calls
(puts) and one leg to sell (buy) twice as many calls (puts), all
with the same expiration date but different exercise prices, and the
exercise price of the middle leg is between the exercise prices of
the other legs. The System considers a true butterfly and a skewed
butterfly to be a butterfly spread. If the exercise price of the
middle leg is the average of the exercise prices of the other legs,
it is a ``true'' butterfly; and if the exercise price of the middle
leg is less in-the-money than the average of the exercise prices of
the other legs, it is a ``skewed'' butterfly.
    \7\ See proposed Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(4)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange states that it has observed a significant and
increasing number of zero-priced vertical and butterfly spread buy
orders in certain classes submitted to rest in the COB.\8\ The Exchange
further states that these zero-priced buy orders execute infrequently
against an opposing complex order and remain resting in the COB because
market participants rarely desire to sell these strategies at a price
of zero.\9\ Based on its analysis of orders submitted from January 2022
through July 2022, the Exchange identified that approximately only 1.3%
of the approximately 177 million zero-priced buy vertical and butterfly
spread contracts, of the approximately 6.5 million orders submitted to
rest in the COB, were filled.\10\ The Exchange states that multiple
Trading Permit Holders (``TPHs'') have expressed concern regarding the
amount of excess market data that results from zero-priced vertical and
butterfly spread buy strategies, and the Exchange believes that the
high number of these orders may impede liquidity providers from
executing against marketable customer interest because the stream of
incoming strategies creates new data messages that liquidity providers
must process and synthesize into their systems, interfering with their
time and resources to process, synthesize, and react to data messages
in connection with marketable customer interest.\11\ In addition, the
Exchange states that it has expended resources to implement multiple
System enhancements to enable its System to continue to handle the
large number of these strategies.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Notice, 87 FR 51724.
    \9\ See id.
    \10\ See Amendment No. 1 at 4.
    \11\ See Notice, 87 FR 51724. In addition, the Exchange states
that complex orders generate a COA auction message before resting in
the COB and that the COA auction message volume resulting from the
influx of zero-priced vertical and butterfly buy spread orders
saturates the auction market data and may deter liquidity providers
from providing auction liquidity, which adversely impacts customer
orders. See id.
    \12\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange acknowledges that there may be limited cases in which
market participants may seek to sell a zero-priced vertical or
butterfly spread, including when liquidating a position.\13\ Under the
proposal, zero-priced vertical or butterfly spread sell orders will
continue to be permitted to rest on the COB.\14\ By requiring zero-
priced vertical and butterfly spread buy orders to be designated as IOC
or Direct to PAR, the Exchange states that proposed Exchange Rule
5.34(b)(4)(B) will ensure that these zero-priced buy orders are either
executed immediately against marketable orders (in whole or in part)
and then cancelled, or are sent to directly to a PAR workstation for
manual handling by a Floor Broker.\15\ The Exchange further states that
by allowing zero-priced vertical and butterfly buy spread orders to be
submitted only as IOC or for manual handling, including manual
submission into a COA, the proposal continues to provide execution
opportunities for vertical and butterfly spread strategies that are
legitimately priced at zero, while preventing a significant number of
these orders from overwhelming the COB.\16\ Proposed Exchange Rule
5.34(b)(4)(B) provides the Exchange with flexibility to apply the
proposed price check on a class-by-class basis, which will permit the
Exchange to determine whether allowing zero-priced vertical and
butterfly spread orders to rest in the COB is appropriate for different
option classes, which may exhibit different trading characteristics and
have different market models.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Amendment No. 1 at 3.
    \14\ See id.
    \15\ See Notice, 87 FR 51725. Proposed Exchange Rule
5.34(b)(4)(B) also allows a zero-priced vertical and butterfly
spread buy order to initiate a COA if the order is auctioned via
PAR.
    \16\ See id.
    \17\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposal also revises the definition of butterfly spread in
Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(1)(B) to more precisely define what the
Exchange's System considers to be true and skewed butterfly spreads for
purposes of Exchange Rule 5.34(b) and to provide that the System
considers both skewed and true butterfly spreads to be butterfly
spreads. As described more fully in the Notice, Exchange Rule
5.34(b)(1)(B) currently states, in part, that ``If the exercise price
of the middle leg is halfway between the exercise prices of the other
legs, it is a ``true'' butterfly; otherwise, it is a ``skewed''
butterfly.'' The Exchange proposes to revise this sentence to state
that ``If the exercise price of the middle leg is the average of the
exercise prices of the other legs, it is a ``true'' butterfly; and if
the exercise price of the middle leg is less-in-the-money than the
average of the exercise prices of the other legs, it is a ``skewed''
butterfly.'' The Exchange states that the proposed changes more
accurately reflect what the Exchange's System considers to be a skewed
butterfly and a butterfly spread generally.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Notice, 87 FR 51725.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a national securities exchange.\19\ In particular, the
Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\20\ which requires, among other things,
that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest, and not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons set forth below, the Commission believes that the
proposal to adopt a price check that will reject or cancel vertical and
butterfly spread buy orders with a price of zero that are not
designated as IOC or Direct to PAR is designed to protect investors and
the public interest. As discussed above, orders to buy a vertical or
butterfly spread for a price of zero execute infrequently and instead
remain resting in the COB without being filled.\21\ The Exchange states
that these zero-priced vertical and butterfly spread buy orders
generate a substantial amount of market data that market participants
must process and synthesize into their systems, and that this excess
data, about which TPHs have expressed concern, may impede liquidity
providers from executing against marketable customer interest.\22\
Although vertical and butterfly spread buy orders priced at zero will
no longer be permitted to rest in the COB, the proposal will provide

for the continued execution of the limited number of vertical and
butterfly spread orders that are legitimately priced at zero. In this
regard, vertical and butterfly spread sell orders with a price of zero
will continue to have the ability to rest in the COB and market
participants will be able to submit zero-priced vertical and butterfly
spread IOC buy orders to execute against the resting zero-priced sell
orders.\23\ In addition, the proposal will allow market participants to
submit vertical and butterfly spread buy orders with a price of zero as
Direct to PAR for manual handling, and market participants will
continue to have the ability to submit zero-bid vertical and butterfly
spread orders as part of a paired order in a crossing transaction.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See Notice, 87 FR 51724. As noted above, based on its
analysis of such orders submitted from January 2022 through July
2022, the Exchange found that approximately only 1.3% of the
approximately 177 million zero-priced buy vertical and butterfly
spread contracts, of the approximately 6.5 million orders submitted
to rest in the COB, were filled. See Amendment No. 1 at 4.
    \22\ See Notice, 87 FR 51724. In addition, the Exchange states
that it has implemented multiple System enhancements to enable its
System to handle the large number of these strategies. See id.
    \23\ See Amendment No. 1 at 3 and proposed Exchange Rule
5.34(b)(4)(B).
    \24\ See Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(4)(B) and Amendment No. 1 at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposed changes to the definition
of butterfly spread are designed to protect investors and the public
interest by providing more precise definitions of skewed and true
butterfly spreads.

IV. Solicitation of Comments on Amendment No. 1 to the Proposed Rule
Change

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning whether Amendment No. 1 is consistent with the
Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:

V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 1

    The Commission finds good cause to approve the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, prior to the thirtieth day
after the date of publication of notice of the filing of Amendment No.
1 in the Federal Register. As described more fully above, Amendment No.
1 revises the proposal to acknowledge more clearly that, in limited
circumstances, vertical and butterfly spread sell orders may
legitimately be priced at zero, including when a market participant
seeks to liquidate a position. Amendment No. 1 also states that zero-
priced vertical and butterfly spread sell orders will continue to have
the ability to rest in the COB. Amendment No. 1 emphasizes that the
proposal provides methods for executing vertical and butterfly spread
buy orders priced at zero by allowing market participants to submit
these orders as IOC or for manual handling, or as part of a paired
crossing transaction. In addition, Amendment No. 1 replaces an
incorrect reference to ``approximately 177 million zero-priced buy
vertical and butterfly spread orders'' with a correct reference to
``approximately 177 million zero-priced buy vertical and butterfly
spread contracts,'' which helps to ensure that the proposal accurately
represents the scope of the issue that the proposal seeks to address.
Amendment No. 1 raises no novel regulatory issues and provides
additional discussion that assists the Commission in evaluating the
Exchange's proposal and determining that it is consistent with the Act.
Accordingly, the Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act,\25\ to approve the proposed rule change, as
modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VI. Conclusion

    It is Therefore Ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\26\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CBOE-2022-041), as modified
by Amendment No. 1, is approved.

[Docket No. 31467; Amdt. No. 4043]

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 removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) 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 January 23, 2023. 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 January 23, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes 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 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B,
when required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
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 form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the typed of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff

Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended 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
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that 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 under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    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.

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.

City of Vancouver, Washington

Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2009-0053

    The City of Vancouver, Washington (City) seeks a temporary waiver
of compliance from certain provisions of the Use of Locomotive Horns at
Highway-Rail Grade Crossings, 49 CFR Part 222. The City intends to
establish a New Partial Quiet Zone under the provisions of 49 CFR
222.39. Specifically, the City is seeking a waiver from: (1) The
provisions of 49 CFR 222.9, definition of a New Partial Quiet Zone so
that the hours of the new partial quiet zone will be from 10 p.m. to 6
a.m.; and (2) the provisions of 49 CFR 222.35(b)(1) so that the active
grade crossing warning devices at Jefferson Street are not required to
be equipped with constant warning time devices.
    49 CFR 222.9, definition of New Partial Quiet Zone reads as
follows: ``New Partial Quiet Zone means a segment of a rail line within
which is situated one or a number of consecutive public highway-rail
crossings at which locomotive horns are not routinely sounded between
the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., but are routinely sounded during the
remaining portion of the day, and which does not qualify as a Pre-Rule
Partial Quiet Zone or an Intermediate Partial Quiet Zone.''
    49 CFR 222.35(b)(1) reads as follows: ``Each public highway-rail
grade crossing in a New Quiet Zone established under this part must be

equipped, no later than the quiet zone implementation date, with active
grade crossing warning devices comprising both flashing lights and
gates which control traffic over the crossing and that conform to the
standards contained in the MUTCD. Such warning devices shall be
equipped with constant warning time devices, if reasonably practical,
and power-out indicators.'' The purpose of constant warning time
devices (CWT) is so that the crossing warning devices provide the same
amount of warning time regardless of the speed of the approaching
train.
    The City is in the process of establishing a new partial quiet zone
along the BNSF Railway's (BNSF) Northwest Division, Fallbridge
Subdivision, which would extend from approximately Milepost 9.95 to
Milepost 10.51. The new partial quiet zone will consist of three public
at-grade crossings: West 11th Street (DOT 092276S), Jefferson
Street (DOT 090249N), and West 8th Street (DOT
090248G). The City seeks a waiver from the defined hours for a
new partial quiet zone (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) in order to have the new
partial quiet zone's hours to be from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The City states
that the change is sought to provide noise relief during the downtown
residents and convention visitors prime sleeping periods while
minimizing the effect on peak commercial traffic movements or safety.
The City plans to utilize a temporary closure supplementary safety
measure at the West 8th Street crossing and that there would be
virtually no adverse impact on highway traffic if the street was open
to traffic from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
    The City's new partial quiet zone plan includes the use of medians
at the Jefferson Street grade crossing. The medians will be alternative
safety measures as the southern median will only extend 50 feet from
the gate. Jefferson Street is currently equipped with automatic warning
devices consisting of standard flashing lights with gates. However, the
warning devices are not equipped with CWT. The City states that the use
of CWT at this crossing is not reasonably practical at this location
since the crossing will be closed by December 31, 2011, as part of the
City's Waterfront Access project.
    The City is requesting a temporary waiver through the end of 2011,
at which time the crossings will be closed as part of the City's
Waterfront Access project.
    The City states that it works closely with BNSF on a variety of
projects and believes that it has a good working relationship with the
railroad. The City contacted BNSF immediately concerning the proposed
waivers and that the BNSF did not express any reservation with the
proposed new partial quiet zone hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The City
requested input from BNSF on the quiet zone improvements proposed for
Jefferson Street but had not received a response. The City does not
anticipate BNSF support for the portion of the waiver concerning CWT
and decided to file the waiver petition alone in order to expedite the
process. It also states that the lack of a joint submission will not
compromise public safety or will applying the requirement of a joint
submission be likely to significantly contribute to public safety.
    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-
2009-0053) and may be submitted by any of the following methods:

20BR, -40, -40AR, -40R, and -60 Series Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell) TFE731-2C, -3B, -3BR, -3C, -
3CR, -3D, -3DR, -4R, -5AR, -5BR, -5R, -20R, -20AR, -20BR, -40, -40AR, -
40R, and -60 series turbofan engines. This AD requires removal from
service of certain high pressure (HP) turbine rotor assemblies with
part numbers (P/Ns) 3075772-1 and 3060841-1 using a drawdown schedule,
and returning them to Honeywell for curvic root radius inspection. This
AD results from the manufacturer's report

that some HP turbine rotor discs received improperly machined radii in
the root of the forward and aft curvic teeth during manufacture. We are
issuing this AD to prevent uncontained failure of the HP turbine rotor
assembly, which could result in damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 6, 2008. The Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulations as of March 6, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You can get the service information identified in this AD

Angeles Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, Transport Airplane
Directorate, 3960 Paramount Blvd., Lakewood, CA 90712-4137; e-mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39
with a proposed AD. The proposed AD applies to Honeywell TFE731-2C, -
3B, -3BR, -3C, -3CR, -3D, -3DR, -4R, -5AR, -5BR, -5R, -20R, -20AR, -
20BR, -40, -40AR, -40R, and -60 series turbofan engines. We published
the proposed AD in the Federal Register on September 4, 2007 (72 FR
50648). That action proposed to require removal from service of certain
HP turbine rotor assemblies with P/Ns 3075772-1 and 3060841-1 using a
drawdown schedule, and returning them to Honeywell for curvic root
radius inspection.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is provided in
the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket
shortly after receipt.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We received no comments on the proposal or on
the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 400 HP turbine rotor discs
installed in TFE731-20R, -20AR, -20BR, -40, -40AR, -40R, and -60 series
turbofan engines, and 170 HP turbine rotor discs installed in TFE731-
2C, -3B, -3BR, -3C, -3CR, -3D, -3DR, -4R, -5AR, -5BR, and -5R series
turbofan engines, installed in airplanes of U.S. registry. We also
estimate that it will take about 42 work-hours per engine to perform
the actions at an unscheduled removal, and about 2 work-hours at a
scheduled removal. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour.
Required parts will cost about $46,535 per engine. We estimate that 50
percent of the HP turbine rotor discs will fail the curvic root radius
inspection. Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost of the
AD to U.S. operators to be $13,490,000.

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); 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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.
