Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to
Amend the Order Cancellation Fee

January 27, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby given
that on January 15, 2014, the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (``CHX'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

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

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    CHX proposes to amend Section E.8 of its Schedule of Fees and
Assessments (the ``Fee Schedule'') to amend the Order Cancellation Fee.
The text of this proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.chx.com/rules/proposed_rules.htm, at the
principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Section E.8 of the Fee Schedule to
amend the Order Cancellation Fee. Specifically, the Exchange proposes
to adopt proposed Section E.8(c) to provide an exemption from Order
Cancellation Fees for a given month if an Account Symbol \4\ meets an
Average Daily Volume (``ADV'') requirement for that month. The Exchange
does not propose to substantively amend the Order Cancellation Fee in
any other way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ An ``Account Symbol'' identifies a specific ``Trading
Account,'' as defined under CHX Article 1, Rule 1(ll). The terms are
used interchangeably throughout this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Current Order Cancellation Fee
    Under SR-CHX-2012-15,\5\ the Exchange adopted the current formula-
based Order Cancellation Fee detailed under Section E.8 of the Fee
Schedule, amended under SR-CHX-2013-11 \6\ and SR-CHX-2013-12,\7\ which
assesses a daily cancellation fee per Account Symbol and security, if
the order cancellation ratio exceeds a designated threshold. In sum,
the formula subtracts from the total daily number of ``Wide'' or ``W''
orders \8\ in a given security the product of ``Near'' or ``N'' orders
\9\ in the same security submitted by the Participant in the Regular
Trading Session in a given day and its corresponding ``N'' order
multiplier or ``Nmult.'' \10\ The difference is then divided by ``E,''
which is defined as the greater of the number one (1) or the sum of all
Wide and Near orders in a given security that are submitted and
executed (in whole or in part) in the Regular Trading Session
(excluding cross transactions) on a given day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68219 (November 13,
2012), 77 FR 69673 (November 20, 2012) (SR-CHX-2012-15) (``Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
Its Order Cancellation Fee'').
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69701 (June 5,
2013), 78 FR 35082 (June 11, 2013) (SR-CHX-2013-11) (``Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
the Order Cancellation Fee'').
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69903 (July 1,
2013), 78 FR 40788 (July 8, 2013) (SR-CHX-2013-12) (``Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
the Single-Sided Order Fees and Credits and the Order Cancellation
Fee'').
    \8\ Section E.8(a) of the Fee Schedule provides that ```W'
equals the number of Wide orders in a security priced at $1.00/share
or more, that is submitted during the Regular Trading Session,
through an Account Symbol, on a given day. An order shall be
considered Wide if any one of the following conditions are met:
    The order price of the security is inferior to the National Best
Bid (``NBB'') for a buy order or National Best Offer (``NBO'') for a
sell order at the time the order is received by the Matching System
and the difference between the order price and the NBB or NBO is
equal to or greater than the corresponding Threshold Away Amount of
the particular security; or
    The order is voluntarily cancelled by the order sender prior to
the expiration of its corresponding Minimum Duration (expressed in
milliseconds) after acceptance by the Matching System, without any
executions; or
    An order marked ``Do Not Display,'' pursuant to Article 1, Rule
2(c)(2).''
    \9\ Section E.8(a) of the Fee Schedule provides that ```N'
equals the number of Near orders (which must be display eligible) in
a security priced at $1.00/share or more submitted in the Regular
Trading Session, through an Account Symbol, on a given day. A Near
order is:
    An order where the difference between the order price and the
NBB or NBO is less than the corresponding Threshold Away Amount of
the particular security; and
    Where the order is not voluntarily cancelled by the order sender
prior to either (1) the expiration of the Minimum Duration of the
particular security or (2) a partial execution of the order,
whichever is earlier.''
    \10\ Section E.8(a) of the Fee Schedule provides that `` `Nmult'
is the corresponding multiplier value to be applied against `N'.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the resulting value is equal to or greater than the
corresponding ``Cancellation Ratio'' for that security, found under
paragraph (b), a corresponding Order Cancellation Fee would apply to
the Participant for that day's activity in that security. If, however,
the value is less than the corresponding Cancellation Ratio, the
Participant would not be assessed a fee. Currently, the Cancellation
Ratio and other values listed under paragraph (b) are consistent for
Tape A, B, and C securities. Although the fee is assessed daily,
Account Symbols are only billed after the end of the month.
    The purpose of the Order Cancellation Fee is to recoup some of the
costs associated with administering and processing large numbers of
cancelled orders and to incent Participants to post marketable orders
and, thereby, promote liquidity and single-sided order executions on
the Exchange.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed ADV Exemption
    Since the Order Cancellation Fee became operative on November 1,
2012, the Exchange has observed that some Account Symbols have been
billed Order Cancellation Fees notwithstanding exceptionally high ADV
in securities subject to the Order Cancellation Fee. That is, despite
consistent order sending and cancellation activity throughout the
course of the month, some high ADV Trading Accounts exhibited unusually
low ADV on one or two trading days and were consequently billed Order
Cancellation Fees for the month because the Order Cancellation Fee is
assessed daily. The Exchange submits that the need for an Order
Cancellation Fee for a Trading Account is obviated if it provides
valuable single-sided order executions and revenue to the Exchange.
This is because such exceptionally high ADV Trading Accounts support
the purpose of the Order Cancellation Fee (e.g., to promote single-
sided order executions), regardless of order cancellation activity.
    The current Order Cancellation Fee does not permit Trading Accounts
to leverage exceptionally high ADV attained over the course of a month
to eliminate the Order Cancellation Fee assessed due to unusually weak
trading days. Thus, in order to more equitably apply the current Order
Cancellation Fee, the Exchange now proposes to adopt proposed Section
E.8(c), which provides that all Order Cancellation Fees assessed to an
Account Symbol in a given month shall be waived if the ADV attributable
to the Account Symbol for the month is equal to or greater than 100,000
shares from single-sided orders executed at or greater than $1.00/
share.\12\ Trades resulting from cross orders and single-sided orders
executed below $1.00/share shall not be included in the ADV calculation
because such

orders are not subject to the Order Cancellation Fee.\13\ Moreover, the
proposed exemption will be applied at the Account Symbol level and not
at a security-specific level. That is, if a Trading Account meets the
100,000 shares ADV requirement for a given month, all Order
Cancellation Fees assessed under the Account Symbol for the month will
be waived. Correspondingly, the Exchange proposes to amend the first
paragraph of current Section E.8(a) to provide that the Order
Cancellation Fee is subject to the proposed exemption as stated under
proposed paragraph (c). The following example illustrates this
exemption.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The 100,000 shares value was determined based on historical
trading activity on the Exchange and shall only be modified by a
proposed rule filing pursuant to Rule 19b-4 under the Act.
    \13\ Section E.8(a) provides, in pertinent part, that ``a
cancellation fee shall apply for all cancellation messages relating
to orders in each security priced at $1.00/share or more.''

    Example. Assume that a Participant Trading Permit \14\ holder
has two Trading Accounts with Account Symbols ``A'' and ``B.'' For
the month of December 2013, the Participant was billed $3,000 in
Order Cancellation Fees. Specifically, Account Symbol A was assessed
$1,000 in Order Cancellation Fees for activity in five different
securities and had an ADV of 90,000 shares from qualified orders,
whereas Account Symbol B was assessed $2,000 in Order Cancellation
Fees for activity in three different securities and had an ADV of
110,000 shares from qualified orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Article 1, Rule 1(aa).

    Given that Account Symbol B had an ADV of 110,000 shares from
qualified orders in December 2013, the entire $2,000 in Order
Cancellation Fees assessed to Account Symbol B would be waived pursuant
to proposed Section E.8(c). However, given that Account Symbol A had an
ADV of 90,000 shares from qualified orders, the Trading Account would
not qualify for the proposed exemption and would be billed $1,000 in
Order Cancellation Fees. For the purposes of the proposed ADV
exemption, the Order Cancellation Fee assessed to specific securities
and ADV in specific securities is irrelevant.
    The Exchange proposes to make these amendments to Section E.8
operative February 3, 2014. The Order Cancellation Fee shall continue
to be calculated daily and billed after the end of the month. If an
Account Symbol meets the requirements of proposed paragraph (c), the
Account Symbol will not be billed an Order Cancellation Fee for that
month.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \15\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \16\ in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among members and other persons using its facilities. The
Exchange believes that the proposed ADV exemption from the Order
Cancellation Fee described herein promotes the equitable allocation of
the Order Cancellation Fee as it will more fairly allocate costs among
Participants according to their respective trading activity. A
Participant with a Trading Account that has exceptionally high ADV
provides additional revenue to the Exchange (e.g., Liquidity Removing
Fee under Section E.1 of the Fee Schedule and market data revenue),
which may be used to recoup some of the costs of administering and
processing cancelled orders. Thus, Participants with Trading Accounts
that meet the proposed ADV threshold for a given month should not be
billed Order Cancellation Fees assessed to such Trading Accounts for
that month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, these changes to the Fee Schedule would equitably
allocate reasonable fees among Participants in a non-discriminatory
manner by assessing cancellation fees on all Trading Accounts that
exceed a fixed Cancellation Ratio and by waiving cancellation fees on
all Trading Accounts that satisfy the requirements of the proposed ADV
exemption. Since all Participants are subject to the Order Cancellation
Fee and given that the proposed ADV exemption is available to all
Participants, the Exchange submits that the amended Order Cancellation
Fee is non-discriminatory.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not
believe that the proposed ADV exemption to the Order Cancellation Fee
burdens competition, but instead, enhances competition, as it is
intended to increase the competitiveness of, and draw additional volume
to, the Exchange. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market
in which market participants can readily direct order flow to competing
venues if they deem fee levels set by the Exchange to be excessive. The
proposed ADV exemption provides relief from the Order Cancellation Fee
to Participants that execute a requisite number of certain single-sided
orders submitted to the Exchange, which is intended to increase revenue
derived from trades and to draw additional liquidity to the Exchange.
Thus, the proposed rule change is a competitive proposal that is
intended to add additional liquidity and order executions to the
Exchange, which will, in turn, benefit the Exchange and all
Participants.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \17\ and subparagraph(f)(2) of Rule
19b-4 thereunder \18\ because it establishes or changes a due, fee or
other charge imposed by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

FERC-511, Transfer of Electric License

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0069.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-511 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: The Commission uses the information collected under the
requirements of FERC-511 to implement the statutory provisions of
Sections 4(e) and 8 of the Federal Power Act (FPA).\1\ Section 4(e)
authorizes the Commission to issue licenses for the construction,
operation and maintenance of reservoirs, powerhouses, and transmission
lines or other facilities necessary for the development and improvement
of navigation and for the development, transmission, and utilization of
power.\2\ Section 8 of the FPA provides that the voluntary transfer of
any license is made only with the written approval of the Commission.
Any successor to the licensee may assign the rights of the original
licensee but is subject to all of the conditions of the license. The
information filed with the Commission is a mandatory requirement
contained in the format of a written application for transfer of
license, executed jointly by the parties of the proposed transfer. The
sale or merger of a licensed hydroelectric project may occasion the
transfer of a license. The Commission's staff uses the information
collection to determine the qualifications of the proposed transferee
to hold the license and to prepare the transfer of the license order.
Approval by the Commission of transfer of a license is contingent upon
the transfer of title to the properties under license, delivery of all
license instruments, and evidence that such transfer is in the public
interest. The Commission implements these filing requirements in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR part 9.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 16 U.S.C. 797(e) and 801.

nations and among the several States, or upon any part of public
lands and reservations of the United States, or for the purpose of
utilizing the surplus water or water power from any Government dam.

FERC-515, Rules of Practice and Procedure: Declaration of Intention

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0079.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-515 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: The Commission uses the information collected under the
requirements of FERC-515 to implement the statutory provisions of
Section 23(b) of the Federal Power Act (FPA).\3\ Section 23(b)
authorizes the Commission to make a determination as to whether it has
jurisdiction over a proposed water project \4\ not affecting navigable
waters \5\ but across, along, over, or in waters over which Congress
has jurisdiction under its authority to regulate commerce with foreign
nations and among the several States. Section 23(b) requires that any
person intending to construct project works on such waters must file a
declaration of their intention with the Commission. If the Commission
finds the proposed project will have an impact on interstate or foreign
commerce, then the entity intending to construct the project must
obtain a Commission license or exemption before starting
construction.\6\ The information is collected in the form of a written
application, containing sufficient details to allow the Commission
staff to research the jurisdictional aspects of the project. This
research includes examining maps and land ownership records to
establish whether or not there is Federal jurisdiction over the lands
and waters affected by the project. A finding of non-jurisdictional by
the Commission eliminates a substantial paperwork burden for the

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-100-1A10
(Challenger 300) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

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

    Investigation of a recent high altitude loss of cabin
pressurization on a BD-100-1A10 aircraft determined that it was
caused by a partial blockage of a safety valve cabin pressure-
sensing port, in conjunction with a dormant failure/leakage of the
safety valve manometric capsule. The blockage, caused by
accumulation of lint/dust on the grid of the port plug, did not
allow sufficient airflow through the cabin pressure-sensing port to
compensate for the rate of leakage from the manometric capsule,
resulting in the opening of the safety valve. It was also determined
that failure of the manometric capsule alone would not result in the
opening of the safety valve.
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is possible loss of cabin pressure caused by the
opening of the safety valve. The proposed AD would require actions that
are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 4,
2011.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

this proposed AD based on those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    On May 3, 2010, we issued AD 2010-10-18, Amendment 39-16297 (75 FR
27406, May 17, 2010). That AD required actions intended to address an
unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    In Note 2 of AD 2010-10-18, we explained that the AD did not
mandate replacement of the cabin pressure-sensing port plug in both
safety valves, with a new gridless plug and that we were considering
further rulemaking. We now have determined that further rulemaking is
necessary and this NPRM follows from that determination. The MCAI
states:

    Investigation of a recent high altitude loss of cabin
pressurization on a BD-100-1A10 aircraft determined that it was
caused by a partial blockage of a safety valve cabin pressure-
sensing port, in conjunction with a dormant failure/leakage of the
safety valve manometric capsule. The blockage, caused by
accumulation of lint/dust on the grid of the port plug, did not
allow sufficient airflow through the cabin pressure-sensing port to
compensate for the rate of leakage from the manometric capsule,
resulting in the opening of the safety valve. It was also determined
that failure of the manometric capsule alone would not result in the
opening of the safety valve.
    This directive mandates a revision of the maintenance schedule,
the [repetitive] cleaning of the safety valves, the removal of
material from the area surrounding the safety valves and the
modification of the safety valves with a gridless cabin pressure-
sensing port plug.

The unsafe condition is possible loss of cabin pressure caused by the
opening of the safety valve. The required actions also include a
detailed visual inspection of the safety valves and surrounding areas
for discrepant material (e.g., foreign material surrounding the safety
valves, room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant on safety valves,
RTV excess on the bulkhead, tape near the safety valve opening, and, on
certain airplanes, insulation near the safety valve opening, and foam
in the area surrounding the safety valves), and for contamination found
in the safety valve pressure ports. If contamination is found on the
safety valve pressure ports, a detailed visual inspection for the
presence of RTV on the outside and inside diameter of the pressure
sensing port conduit is required. If discrepant materials are found,
removing discrepant material, cleaning the surfaces of the valves, and
securing insulation are required, as applicable. If the presence of RTV
is detected, cleaning the surfaces of the valves and installing a new
safety valve are required, as applicable. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a Note within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 67 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2010-10-18 and retained in this
proposed AD take about 9 work-hours per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product.
Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently required
actions is $765 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $0 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD
on U.S. operators to be $5,695, or $85 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-16297 (75 FR
27406, May 17, 2010) and adding the following new AD:

Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA-2010-1200; Directorate Identifier
2010-NM-136-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by February 4, 2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2010-10-18, Amendment 39-16297.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-100-1A10
(Challenger 300) airplanes, having serial numbers (S/Ns) 20001
through 20274 inclusive, certificated in any category.

    Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according
to paragraph (l) of this AD. The request should include a
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure
the continued operational safety of the airplane.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 21: Air
conditioning.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    Investigation of a recent high altitude loss of cabin
pressurization on a BD-100-1A10 aircraft determined that it was
caused by a partial blockage of a safety valve cabin pressure-
sensing port, in conjunction with a dormant failure/leakage of the
safety valve manometric capsule. The blockage, caused by
accumulation of lint/dust on the grid of the port plug, did not
allow sufficient airflow through the cabin pressure-sensing port to
compensate for the rate of leakage from the manometric capsule,
resulting in the opening of the safety valve. It was also determined
that failure of the manometric capsule alone would not result in the
opening of the safety valve.
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is possible loss of cabin pressure caused by
the opening of the safety valve.

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
