Airworthiness Directives; HPH s. r.o. Sailplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all HPH
s. r.o. Models 304C, 304CZ, and 304CZ-17 sailplanes. This AD results
from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an
aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as the lack of a drain hole in the elevator control rod,
which may allow water to accumulate in the control rod and lead to
possible corrosion. This condition could cause the elevator control rod
to fail, which could result in loss of control of the sailplane. We are
issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective September 12, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of September 12,
2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on June 5, 2012 (77 FR
33127). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    A broken elevator control rod in the vertical fin on a Kestrel
sailplane has been reported.
    The technical investigation revealed that water had soaked into
the elevator control rod through a control bore hole and resulted in
corrosion damage. The investigation concluded that the corrosion
cannot be detected from outside the elevator control rod.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
failure of the elevator control rod, possibly resulting in loss of
control of the sailplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, HPH spol. s.r.o. published
Service Bulletins (SB): G304CZ-06a), G304CZ17-06a), G304C-06a),
providing instructions for elevator control rod inspection and
replacement.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires accomplishment
of a one-time inspection of the elevator control rod in the vertical
fin and replacement with an improved control rod if control rod
without drainage hole is used.

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

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (77 FR 33127, June 5,
2012) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 33127, June 5, 2012) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 33127, June 5, 2012).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 10 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 6 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $233 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $7,430, or $743 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 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 this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Examining the AD Docket

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

Amendment 39-21811; AD 2021-23-13]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Various Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
helicopters equipped with a radio (also known as radar) altimeter. This
AD was prompted by a determination that radio altimeters cannot be
relied upon to perform their intended function if they experience
interference from wireless broadband operations in the 3.7-3.98 GHz
frequency band (5G C-Band). This AD requires revising the limitations
section of the existing rotorcraft flight manual (RFM) for your
helicopter to incorporate limitations prohibiting certain operations
requiring radio altimeter data when in the presence of 5G C-Band
interference in areas as identified by Notices to Air Missions
(NOTAMs). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 9, 2021.
    The FAA must receive comments on this AD by January 24, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In March 2020, the United States Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted final rules authorizing flexible use of the 3.7-3.98 GHz
band for next generation services, including 5G and other advanced
spectrum-based services.\1\ Pursuant to these rules, C-Band wireless
broadband deployment is permitted to occur in phases with the
opportunity for operations in the lower 100 megahertz of the band (3.7-
3.8 GHz) in 46 markets beginning as soon as December 5, 2021; however,
the FAA does not expect actual deployment to commence until January 5,
2022. This AD refers to ``5G C-Band'' interference, but wireless
broadband technologies, other than 5G, may use the same frequency
band.\2\ These other uses of the same frequency band are within the
scope of this AD since they would introduce the same risk of radio
altimeter interference as 5G C-Band.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The FCC's rules did not make C-Band wireless broadband
available in Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. Territories.
    \2\ The regulatory text of the AD uses the term ``5G C-Band''
which, for purposes of this AD, has the same meaning as ``5G'', ``C-
Band'' and ``3.7-3.98 GHz.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In April 2020, RTCA formed a 5G Task Force, including members from
RTCA, the FAA, aircraft and radio altimeter manufacturers, European
Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE), industry
organizations, and operators, to perform ``a quantitative evaluation of
radar altimeter performance regarding RF interference from expected 5G
emissions in the 3.7-3.98 GHz band, as well as a detailed assessment of
the risk of such interference occurring and impacting aviation
safety.'' \3\ Based on the work of the task force, RTCA published a
report, which concluded that there is ``a major risk that 5G
telecommunications systems in the 3.7-3.98 GHz band will cause harmful
interference to radar altimeters on all types of civil aircraft--
including commercial transport airplanes; business, regional, and
general aviation airplanes; and both transport and general aviation
helicopters.'' \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ RTCA Paper No. 274-20/PMC-2073, Assessment of C-Band Mobile
Telecommunications Interference Impact on Low Range Radar Altimeter
Options, dated October 7, 2020 (RTCA Paper No. 274-20/PMC-2073),
page i. This document is available in Docket No. FAA-2021-0954, and
at https://www.rtca.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SC-239-5G-Interference-Assessment-Report_274-20-PMC-2073_accepted_changes.pdf.
    \4\ RTCA Paper No. 274-20/PMC-2073, page i.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The report further concludes that the likelihood and severity of
radio frequency interference increases for operations at lower
altitudes. That interference could cause the radio altimeter to either
become inoperable or present misleading information, and/or also affect
associated systems on civil aircraft. The RTCA report refers to FCC
Report and Order (R&O) FCC 20-22,\5\ which identifies radio frequencies
and power level conditions for the new C-Band services. The RTCA report
identified the possibility of interference from both wireless emitters
(on base stations, for example) as well as onboard user handsets. The
RTCA report and conclusions remain under review, including by federal
spectrum regulators. The FAA risk assessment included consideration of
the RTCA report, public comments to the RTCA report, and analyses from
radio altimeter manufacturers and aircraft manufacturers in support of
the safety risk determination. The analyses FAA considered were
consistent with RTCA's conclusions pertaining to radio altimeter
interference from C-Band emissions. The FAA determined that, at this
time, no information has been presented that shows radio altimeters are
not susceptible to interference caused by C-Band emissions permitted in
the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ FCC Report and Order (R&O) FCC 20-22 in the Matter of
Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7-4.2 GHz Band, adopted February 28,
2020, and released March 3, 2020. This document is available in
Docket No. FAA-2021-0954, and at https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-expands-flexible-use-c-band-5g-0.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, the deployment of C-Band wireless broadband networks
is occurring globally. In certain countries, deployment has already
occurred in C-Band frequencies. In some countries, temporary technical,
regulatory, and operational mitigations on C-Band systems have been
implemented while aviation authorities complete their safety
assessments. Under the FCC rules adopted in 2020, base stations in
rural areas of the United States are permitted to emit at higher levels
in comparison to other countries.
    The radio altimeter is an important aircraft instrument, and its
intended function is to provide direct height-above-terrain/water
information to a variety of aircraft systems. Commercial aviation radio
altimeters operate in the 4.2-4.4 GHz band, which is separated by 220
megahertz from the C-Band telecommunication systems in the 3.7-3.98 GHz
band. The radio altimeter is more precise than a barometric altimeter
and for that reason is used where aircraft height over the ground needs
to be precisely measured, such as autohover or other low altitude
operations. The receiver on the radio altimeter typically is highly
accurate, however it may deliver erroneous results in the presence of
out-of-band radio frequency emissions from other frequency bands. The
radio altimeter must detect faint signals reflected off the ground to
measure altitude, in a manner similar to radar. Out-of-band signals
could significantly degrade radio altimeter functions during critical
phases of flight, if the altimeter is unable to sufficiently reject
those signals.
    Many operators need to be able to land in low visibility
conditions. These operators employ specially certified equipment and
flightcrew training in order to be able to fly closer to the ground
during approach in instrument conditions without visual reference to
the landing environment. These operations can only be conducted with
reference to actual height above the ground, as measured by a radio
altimeter.
    Additionally, automatic and/or manual flight guidance systems on
helicopters facilitate low visibility operations and rely on accurate
radio altimeter inputs. These inputs may provide height data for
landing and takeoff for Category A and Category B operations. Anomalous
(missing or erroneous) radio altimeter inputs to these systems may
cause the aircraft to be maneuvered in an unexpected or hazardous
manner during the final stages of approach and landing, and may not be
detectable by the pilot in time to maintain continued safe flight and
landing. Inaccurate radio altimeter data can result in pilots not
trusting their instruments, eroding the foundation on which all
instrument flight training is built.

    Although the FAA has determined operations immediately at risk are
those requiring a radio altimeter to takeoff, land, or establish and
maintain a hover, a wide range of automated safety systems rely on
radio altimeter data. The FAA continues to work with inter-agency and
industry stakeholders to collect data on potential effects to these
systems to determine whether additional mitigations are necessary. The
FAA determined, however, that mandatory action is not immediately
required for these systems.
    The FAA plans to use data provided by telecommunications providers
to determine which heliports, airports, or areas within the United
States have or will have C-Band base stations or other devices that
could potentially impact helicopter systems. NOTAMs will be issued, as
necessary, to state the specific areas where the data from a radio
altimeter may be unreliable due to the presence of 5G C-Band wireless
broadband signals.\6\ For this reason, this AD requires flight manual
limitations that prohibit certain operations requiring radio altimeter
data in areas that will be identified by NOTAMs. Due to the dynamic
nature of base station activation and the ongoing process of
identifying the resulting affected airspace, including potential
consideration for variability in C-Band deployment conditions such as
radiated power levels and locations, the FAA has determined that NOTAMs
are the best means to communicate changes in restrictions within
affected areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The FAA's process for issuing NOTAMs is described in FAA
Order 7930.2S, Notices to Air Missions (NOTAM), December 2, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the FAA notes that in accordance with paragraph (h) of
this AD, any person may propose and request FAA approval of an
alternative method of compliance (AMOC). The proposed AMOC must include
specific conditions that would address the unsafe condition (e.g., by
providing information substantiating that certain aircraft or altimeter
models are not susceptible to C-Band radio frequency interference).

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency has determined the
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in
helicopters with a radio altimeter as part of their type design.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires revising the limitations section of the existing
RFM for your helicopter to incorporate limitations prohibiting certain
operations requiring radio altimeter data when in the presence of 5G C-
Band wireless broadband signals in areas as identified by NOTAM.
    These prohibitions could prevent flights and could also result in
flight diversions.

Compliance With RFM Revisions

    Section 91.9 prohibits any person from operating a civil aircraft
without complying with the operating limitations specified in the RFM.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD to be an interim action. If final action
is later identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies foregoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because radio altimeter anomalies that are undetected by the aircraft
automation or pilot, particularly close to the ground, could lead to
loss of continued safe flight and landing. The urgency is based on C-
Band wireless broadband deployment, which is expected to occur in
phases with operations beginning as soon as January 5, 2022.
Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B).
    In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days,
for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forego notice and
comment.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0954 and Project Identifier
AD-2021-01170-R'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this final rule because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Dave
Swartz, Continued Operational Safety Technical Advisor, COS Program
Management Section, Operational Safety Branch, FAA, 222 W. 7th Ave, M/S
#14 Anchorage, AK 99513; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email:
[email protected]. Any commentary that the FAA receives which
is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public
docket for this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because FAA has determined
that it has good cause to

adopt this rule without prior notice and comment, RFA analysis is not
required.

Impact on Intrastate Aviation in Alaska

    For the reasons discussed above, this AD will not affect intrastate
aviation in Alaska.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1,828 helicopters of U.S.
registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this AD.
    Revising the existing RFM for your helicopter would take about 1
work-hour for an estimated cost of $85 per helicopter or $155,380 for
the U.S. fleet.
    As previously discussed, there may be other impacts to aviation;
however there remains uncertainty as to cost due to various factors
such as which areas within the United States have, or will have, base
stations or other devices that could interfere with aircraft radio
altimeters.

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.

[Docket No. FDA-2013-E-0475]

Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent
Extension; ELVITEGRAVIR

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the
regulatory review period for ELVITEGRAVIR (as a component of STRIBILD)
and is publishing this notice of that determination as required by law.
FDA has made the determination because of the submission of an
application to the Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO), Department of Commerce, for the extension of a patent which
claims that human drug product.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written petitions (two copies are required) and written comments
to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.
Submit petitions electronically to http://www.regulations.gov at Docket
No. FDA-2013-S-0610.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Friedman, Office of
Management, Food and Drug Administration, 10001 New Hampshire Ave.,
Hillandale Campus, Rm. 3180, Silver Spring, MD 20993,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug
and Patent Term Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide
that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as
the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical
device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory
review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a
product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the
amount of extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of USPTO may award
(for example, half the testing phase must be subtracted as well as any
time that may have occurred before the patent was issued), FDA's
determination of the length of a regulatory review period for a human
drug product will include all of the testing phase and approval phase
as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA has approved for marketing the human drug product ELVITEGRAVIR
(as a component of STRIBILD (cobicistat/emtricitabine/ELVITEGRAVIR/
tenofovir disoproxil fumarate)). STRIBILD is indicated as a complete
regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults who are
antiretroviral treatment-naive. Subsequent to this approval, the USPTO
received a patent term restoration application for ELVITEGRAVIR (as a
component of STRIBILD) (U.S. Patent No. 7,176,220) from Japan Tobacco
Inc., and the USPTO requested FDA's assistance in determining this
patent's eligibility for patent term restoration. In a letter dated
July 10, 2013, FDA advised the USPTO that this human drug product had
undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval of STRIBILD
represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use of the
ELVITEGRAVIR product. Thereafter, the USPTO requested that FDA
determine the product's regulatory review period.
    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
ELVITEGRAVIR (as a component of STRIBILD) is 2,666 days. Of this time,
2,360 days occurred during the testing phase of the regulatory review
period, while 306 days occurred during the approval phase. These
periods of time were derived from the following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became
effective: May 12, 2005. The applicant claims May 18, 2005, as the date
the investigational new drug application (IND) for ELVITEGRAVIR became
effective. However, FDA records indicate that the IND effective date
was May 12, 2005, which was the date the IND sponsor was notified that
clinical trials may proceed.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human drug product under section 505(b) of the FD&C Act: October
27, 2011. The applicant claims October 26, 2011, as the date the new
drug application (NDA) for STRIBILD (NDA 203-100) was initially
submitted. However, FDA records indicate that NDA 203-100 was submitted
on October 27, 2011.
    3. The date the application was approved: August 27, 2012. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that NDA 203-100 was approved on August
27, 2012.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the USPTO
applies several statutory limitations in its calculations of the actual
period for patent extension. In its application for patent extension,
this applicant seeks 1,021 days of patent term extension.
    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments and ask for a
redetermination by June 12, 2015. Furthermore, any interested person
may petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant
for extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review
period by October 13, 2015. To meet its burden, the petition must
contain sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept.
857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should
be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) electronic or written comments and written or
electronic

petitions. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. Identify
comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document. If you submit a written petition, two copies are
required. A petition submitted electronically must be submitted to
http://www.regulations.gov, Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610. Comments and
petitions that have not been made publicly available on http://www.regulations.gov may be viewed in the Division of Dockets Management
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The EPA reviewed EPAAR clause 1552.211-73, Level of Effort--Cost-
Reimbursement Term Contract, to make the clause more prescriptive in
describing the EPA's responsibilities when the Agency orders less level
of effort (LOE) than the maximum LOE specified in the subject clause;
e.g., if the clause specifies 100,000 hours for a given period of
performance but the contractor only provides 70,000 hours. The clause
provides that a downward equitable adjustment will be made to reduce
the fixed fee by the percentage by which the total expended LOE is less
than 100% of that specified in the LOE clause; e.g., the fixed fee
amount will be reduced by 30% using the same 100,000/70,000 hours
example. The clause title is also modified so that the clause is now
applicable to EPA LOE cost-reimbursement contracts, and paragraph (a)
has been revised. The EPAAR 1511.011-73 clause prescription is also
being updated accordingly. On April 10, 2015 (80 FR 19257) EPA sought
comments on the proposed rule and received no comments.

II. Final Rule

    This final rule amends the EPAAR to revise the following:
    1. The EPAAR 1511.011-73 clause prescription is updated.
    2. The clause title is revised as follows: Level of Effort--Cost-
Reimbursement Contract.
    3. Paragraph (a) has been revised.
    4. An expositional statement has been added to paragraph (c).

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (EO)12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
therefore, not subject to review under the EO.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
No information is collected under this action.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as Amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice
and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure
Act or any other statute; unless the agency certifies that the rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small
organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impact of this final rule on small
entities, ``small entity'' is defined as: (1) A small business that
meets the definition of a small business found in the Small Business
Act and codified at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental
jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school
district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; and
(3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is
independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of this rule on small
entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This action
revises a current EPAAR provision and does not impose requirements
involving capital investment, implementing procedures, or record
keeping. This rule will not have a significant economic impact on small
entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, Local, and Tribal
governments and the private sector.
    This rule contains no Federal mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of the Title II of the UMRA) for State, Local, and Tribal
governments or the private sector. The rule imposes no enforceable duty
on any State, Local or Tribal governments or the private sector. Thus,
the rule is not subject to the requirements of Sections 202 and 205 of
the UMRA.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and Local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects 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.''
    This rule does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects 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 as
specified in Executive Order 13132.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications.'' This rule does not have
tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks

    Executive Order 13045, entitled ``Protection of Children from
Environmental Health and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),
applies to any rule that: (1) Is determined to be economically
significant as defined under Executive Order 12886, and (2) concerns an
environmental health or safety risk that may have a proportionate
effect on children. This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045
because it is not an economically significant rule as defined by
Executive Order 12866, and because it does not involve decisions on
environmental health or safety risks.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution of Use'' (66 FR 28335, (May 22, 2001), because it is not a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA)

    Section 12(d) (15 U.S.C 272 note) of NTTA, Public Law 104-113,
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory
activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling
procedures and business practices) that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTA directs EPA to provide
Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use
available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
    This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. Therefore,
EPA is not considering the use of any voluntary consensus standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order (E.O.) 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)
establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main
provision directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable
and permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate,
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income populations in the United States.
    EPA has determined that this final rule will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not
affect the level of protection provided to human health or the
environment. This rulemaking does not involve human health or
environmental effects.

3. The authority citation for part 1552 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  5 U.S.C. 301 and 41 U.S.C. 418b.

0
4. Revise section 1552.211-73 to read as follows:

1552.211-73  Level of effort--cost-reimbursement contract.

    As prescribed in 1511.011-73, the contracting officer shall insert
the following contract clause in cost-reimbursement contracts including
cost contracts without fee, cost-sharing contracts, cost-plus-fixed-fee
(CPFF) contracts, cost-plus-incentive-fee contracts (CPIF), and cost-
plus-award-fee contracts (CPAF).

Level of Effort--Cost-Reimbursement Contract (May 2016)

    (a) The Contractor shall perform all work and provide all
required reports within the level of effort specified below. The
Contractor shall provide up to ____ direct labor hours for the base
period. The Government's best estimate of the level of effort to
fulfill these requirements is provided for advisory and estimating
purposes. The Government is only obligated to pay for direct labor
hours ordered and corresponding fixed fee for labor hours completed.
    (b) Direct labor includes personnel such as engineers,
scientists, draftsmen, technicians, statisticians, and programmers,
and not support personnel such as company management or data entry/
word processing/accounting personnel even though such support
personnel are normally treated as direct labor by the Contractor.
The level of effort specified in paragraph (a) of this section
includes Contractor, subcontractor, and consultant non-support labor
hours.
    (c) If the Contractor provides less than 90 percent of the level
of effort specified for the base period or any optional period
exercised, an equitable downward adjustment of the fixed fee, if
any, for that period will be made. The downward adjustment will
reduce the fixed fee by the percentage by which the total expended
level of effort is less than 100% of that specified in paragraph
(a). (For instance, if a hypothetical base-period LOE of 100,000
hours is being reduced to 70,000, the fixed fee shall also be
reduced by the same 30%. Using a corresponding hypothetical base-
period fixed fee pool of $300,000, the reduced fixed-fee amount is
calculated as:

$300,000 x (70,000 hours/100,000 hours) = $210,000.)
    (d) The Government may require the Contractor to provide
additional effort up to 110 percent of the level of effort for any
period until the estimated cost for that period has been reached.
However, this additional effort shall not result in any increase in
the fixed fee, if any.
    (e) If this is a cost-plus-incentive-fee (CPIF) contract, the
term ``fee'' in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section means ``base
fee and incentive fee.'' If this is a cost-plus-award-fee (CPAF)
contract, the term ``fee'' in paragraphs (c) and (d) means ``base
fee and award fee.''
    (f) If the level of effort specified to be ordered during a
given base or option period is not ordered during that period, that
level of effort may not be accumulated and ordered during a
subsequent period.
    (g) These terms and conditions do not supersede the requirements
of either the ``Limitation of Cost'' or ``Limitation of Funds''
clauses.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2016-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final Notice.

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

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: The effective date for each LOMR is indicated in the table
below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication.
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Mitigation has resolved any
appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown

and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and also are used to
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at www.msc.fema.gov.
