DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2013-0017]

Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or
Modification of a Railroad Signal System

    In accordance with Part 235 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice that
by a document dated February 6, 2013, Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS)
has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking
approval for the discontinuance or modification of a signal system. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0017.
    Applicant: Norfolk Southern Corporation, Mr. Brian Sykes, Chief
Engineer, C&S Engineering, 1200 Peachtree Street NE., Atlanta, Georgia
30309.
    NS seeks approval of the proposed temporary discontinuance of the
signal system at the Randolph Street Control Point on the Virginia
Division in Roanoke, VA, during a major track and signal
rationalization project. The Randolph Street Control Point uses
Microlok for the control of switches and signals. This Control Point
connects NS's H-Line, N-Line, and W-Line with its Roanoke Yard and
locations to the west.
    NS will be required to temporarily discontinue the use of the
signal system while performing a major part of the track work. The
Randolph Street Tower, where the Microlok system is currently housed,
will be removed to make room for a new track through that area. NS
estimates the discontinuance of signals for 90 to 120 days at the
Randolph Street Control Point during its construction efforts. During
that period, trains will operate through the area at restricted speed
on permission from the dispatcher, as well as a switch tender on the
ground. NS seeks to have all of the work completed with its signals
tested and placed back in service in the November/December 2013
timeframe. NS seeks to make the proposed changes to replace the older
Microlok system with newer technology solid-state equipment, to
increase train speeds through the area, and to facilitate the
installation of Positive Train Control.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal holidays.

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 and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov/. Follow the online

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In recent years, regulatory authorities and industry associations
from around the world have participated in many important initiatives
to promote international harmonization of regulatory requirements under
the ICH. FDA has participated in several ICH meetings designed to
enhance harmonization, and FDA is committed to seeking scientifically
based harmonized technical procedures for pharmaceutical development.
One of the goals of harmonization is to identify and reduce differences
in technical requirements for drug development among regulatory
agencies.
    ICH was established to provide an opportunity for harmonization
initiatives to be developed with input from both regulatory and
industry representatives. FDA also seeks input from consumer
representatives and others. ICH is concerned with harmonization of
technical requirements for the registration of pharmaceutical products
for human use among regulators around the world. The six founding
members of the ICH are the European Commission; the European Federation
of Pharmaceutical Industries Associations; FDA; the Japanese Ministry
of Health, Labour, and Welfare; the Japanese Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers Association; and the Pharmaceutical Research and
Manufacturers of America. The Standing Members of the ICH Association
include Health Canada and Swissmedic. Any party eligible as a member in
accordance with the ICH Articles of Association can apply for
membership in writing to the ICH Secretariat. The ICH Secretariat,
which coordinates the preparation of documentation, operates as an
international nonprofit organization and is funded by the Members of
the ICH Association.
    The ICH Assembly is the overarching body of the Association and
includes representatives from each of the ICH members and observers.
The Assembly is responsible for the endorsement of draft guidelines and
adoption of final guidelines. FDA publishes ICH guidelines as FDA
guidance.
    In the Federal Register of September 8, 2016 (81 FR 62141), FDA
published a notice announcing the availability of a draft guidance
entitled ``ICH S3A Guidance: Note for Guidance on Toxicokinetics: The
Assessment of Systemic Exposure in Toxicity Studies--Questions and
Answers.'' The notice gave interested persons an opportunity to submit
comments by December 7, 2016.
    After consideration of the comments received and revisions to the
guideline, a final draft of the guideline was submitted to the ICH
Assembly and endorsed by the regulatory agencies in November 2017.
    The Q&A guidance provides additional information to facilitate
interpretation of the S3A guidance. The S3A guidance has been
successfully implemented since 1994, and in recent years, analytical
method sensitivity has improved, allowing microsampling techniques to
be used in toxicokinetic assessment. This Q&A guidance focuses on
points to consider before incorporating the microsampling method in
toxicokinetic studies, acknowledges the benefits (and some limitations)
of the use of microsampling for assessing toxicokinetics in main study
animals, and acknowledges the overall important contribution of
microsampling to the 3Rs benefits (replacement, reduction, and
refinement), by reducing or eliminating the need for toxicokinetic
satellite animals.
    The Q&A guidance is intended to apply to the majority of
pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals; however, for all types of
molecules, consideration should be given on a case-by-case basis as to
whether the sensitivity of the measurement method is appropriate for
the small sample volumes available. The guidance on microsampling
provided in the Q&A can be used in any type of toxicology study, as
well as in rodents and nonrodents.

    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``S3A Guidance: Note for Guidance on
Toxicokinetics: The Assessment of Systemic Exposure in Toxicity
Studies: Focus on Microsampling--Questions and Answers.'' It does not
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance
is not subject to Executive Order 12866.

Federal Aviation Administration

[Docket No. FAA-2019-0264]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a Renewal of an Information Collection: Automatic
Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Rebate System

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
FAA invites public comments about its intention to request Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a renewal of an information
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on April 12, 2019. The FAA has launched a rebate program to
emphasize the urgent need for pilots to comply with Automatic Dependent
Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) Out requirements ahead of the January 1,
2020, compliance deadline. This program is defraying costs associated
with the ADS-B equipment and installation for eligible general aviation
(GA) aircraft, and helps ensure general aviation aircraft with ADS-B
Out equipage.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 17, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or faxed to<PHONE_NUMBER>, or mailed to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW, Washington,
DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gayle Thornton by email at:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0769.
    Title: Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Rebate
System.
    Form Numbers: Information is collected via a website specific to
the ADS-B Rebate program.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on April 12, 2019 (84 FR 15036).
    On May 21, 2010, the FAA issued a final rule requiring Automatic
Dependence Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out avionics on aircraft
operating in Classes A, B, and C airspace, as well as certain other
classes of airspace within the National Airspace System (NAS), no later
than January 1, 2020 (75 FR 30160). ADS-B Out equipage is a critical
step in achieving the benefits of NextGen, in that it enhances aircraft
surveillance with satellite-based precision. When properly equipped
with ADS-B, both pilots and controllers can see the same real-time
displays of air traffic, and pilots will be able to receive air traffic
services in places where not previously available.
    To meet this deadline for compliance, the FAA estimated that as
many as 160,000 general aviation aircraft would need to be equipped
with ADS-B Out. In developing the ADS-B Out final rule, the FAA assumed
that these aircraft owners would begin equipping new aircraft with ADS-
B equipment in 2012, and begin retrofitting the existing aircraft in
2013, to minimize costs associated with retrofitting outside of the
aircraft's heavy maintenance cycle. In any given year, avionics
installers are capable of completing approximately 35,000-50,000
installations. In order to guarantee that general aviation aircraft
that will operate in ADS-B airspace are equipped by the deadline,
approximately 23,000 aircraft would have needed to equip each year
beginning in early 2013. This would have ensured there would be a
balance between the expected demand for avionics installations and the
capacity of avionics installers. Owners of general aviation aircraft
who are particularly price sensitive are postponing their
installations. This trend demonstrates that there is a near-term need
to accelerate equipage, to ensure that pilots, manufacturers, and
retail facilities have adequate time and capacity to equip aircraft
with ADS-B Out avionics. This rebate provided an incentive for early
retrofitting and emphasized the urgent need for GA pilots compliance
with ADS-B Out requirements.
    Section 221 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012
provided the FAA with the authority to establish an incentive program
for equipping general aviation and commercial aircraft with
communications, surveillance, navigation, and other avionics equipment.
The FAA established the ADS-B Rebate Program to address the rate of
general aviation equipage by incentivizing aircraft owners who are
affected by the ADS-B Out requirements and are the most price sensitive
to the cost of avionics and the associated installation. The ADS-B
Rebate Program provides a one-time $500 rebate to an aircraft owner to
defray some of the cost of an ADS-B Out system meeting the program
eligibility requirements. The rebates are available on a first come
first served basis.
    The FAA, with input from industry partners (Aircraft Electronics
Association, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, and General
Aircraft Manufacturers Association), designed this rebate program
targeting specific eligibility requirements for avionics, aircraft
types, and aircraft owners. The eligibility requirements are as
follows:
    Eligible Avionics--Technical Standard Order (TSO)-certified Version
2 ADS-B Out system, purchased on or after June 8, 2016. Such equipment
must have a TSO marking for TSO-C154c, or TSO-C166b, or both. Eligible
ADS-B Out system equipment may have an embedded position source
compliant with one of the following TSOs: TSO-C-145c (or subsequent
versions), TSO-C146c (or subsequent versions), or may be connected to a
separate position source compliant with TSO-C-145c (or subsequent
versions) or TSO-C146c (or subsequent versions). Any separate position
source must comply with the guidance published in FAA Advisory Circular
(AC) 20-165B. ADS-B In/Out systems compliant with TSO-C154c, TSO-C166b,
or both, are also eligible.
    Eligible Aircraft--Only U.S.-registered, fixed-wing single-engine
piston aircraft first registered before January 1, 2016 are eligible
for the program. This eligibility is determined via the FAA Civil
Aircraft Registry. Program eligibility also requires permanent
installation of new avionics equipment in a single aircraft in
compliance with applicable FAA regulations and guidance material.
    Aircraft Owner--Program eligibility is limited to one rebate per
aircraft owner. An aircraft owner means either a single individual
owner or any owning entity (any legal ownership entity including but
not limited to an LLC, corporation, partnership or joint venture)
identified as the owner of the eligible aircraft in the FAA Civil
Aviation Registry.
    Exclusions--All aircraft for which FAA has already paid or
previously committed to upgrade to meet the ADS-B Out mandate. Software
upgrades to existing equipment are not eligible. Aircraft that already
have a Version 2 ADS-B Out system prior to the launch of the data
collection system are not eligible. New aircraft produced after January
1, 2016, are not eligible.
    For reimbursement under this program, the FAA Civil Aircraft
Registry information regarding ownership is controlling. The rebate
program uses the publically available database to determine eligibility
requirements based on the aircraft information. The aircraft owner is
responsible for ensuring that the FAA Civil Aircraft Registry
information is accurate before a claim for the rebate is submitted;
rebates will only be mailed to the registered owner and address as
indicated in the Civil Aircraft Registry.
    To request a rebate, the applicant must provide via the program
website a valid email address for official

correspondence and notifications and aircraft-specific information such
as the aircraft registration number, TSO certified equipment purchased,
and scheduled installation date. Once the information is submitted, the
FAA will validate eligibility for the program with the official records
regarding aircraft ownership contained in the publically available
Civil Aircraft Registry. Additionally, anyone requesting a rebate will
need to accept legal notices electronically by acknowledging their
agreement and acceptance and providing the name of the person
submitting the information on the individual web application.
    Through the ADS-B Rebate Program, aircraft owners are permitted to
reserve a rebate, validate their installation, and then claim their
rebate through the ADS-B Rebate Program website. The program steps and
timeline requirements are as follows:
    [1] Decide: The aircraft owner arranges for purchase and schedules
installation of TSO-certified avionics for an eligible aircraft.
    [2] Reserve: Before avionics installation occurs, the aircraft
owner must go to the ADS-B Rebate Program website to submit information
for a rebate reservation. Upon successful submission, the system will
generate an email with a Rebate Reservation Code. During the rebate
reservation process, the eligible aircraft's information is validated
against the FAA Civil Aircraft Registry, including ownership
information. If there are discrepancies, the aircraft owner may
continue with the reservation process; but before a valid Incentive
Code can be obtained in step [5], the aircraft owner must ensure that
the FAA Civil Aircraft Registry data for their eligible aircraft is
corrected.
    [3] Install: TSO-certified ADS-B avionics are installed in the
eligible aircraft.
    [4] Fly & Validate: Only after the prior steps are completed, the
eligible aircraft must be flown in the airspace defined in 14 CFR
91.225 for at least 30 minutes, with at least 10 aggregate minutes of
maneuvering flight, per the guidance in AC 20-165B
regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/
document.information/documentID/1028666, sections 4.3.2 and <IP_ADDRESS>-
<IP_ADDRESS> for Part 23 aircraft. After flight, the ADS-B data is used to
generate a Public Compliance Report (PCR) and General Aviation
Incentive Requirements Status (GAIRS) Report, which is how the
performance of the eligible aircraft's ADS-B installation is validated.
Note that it may be necessary to repeat this step more than once, until
the GAIRS Report indicates PASS for all fields and provides an
Incentive Code in the Rebate Status section. Once proper installation
and operation of the ADS-B is validated the FAA will notify the
applicant using the email address provided at the time of rebate
request.
    [5] Claim: Within 60 days of the scheduled installation date, the
aircraft owner gathers their Rebate Reservation Code (from step [2])
and their Incentive Code (from step [4]) and submits this information
as well as their name and aircraft number via the ADS-B Rebate Program
website to complete the claim for their rebate.
    The FAA is seeking comments from the public regarding the
information we collect for the program and how we collect it. The
information provided in this notice is solely to identify and collect
information from the public on the potential burden to an individual
that would result from this program.
    Respondents: Approximately 20,000 GA pilots.
    Frequency: Information is collected only during the times the user
is submitting their reservation and claiming their rebate after proof
of meeting the eligibility requirements.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 6 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Approximately 2,000 hours.

Random Drug Testing Rate for Covered Crewmembers for 2020

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of minimum random drug testing rate.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has set the calendar year 2020 minimum random
drug testing rate at 50 percent of covered crewmembers.

DATES: The minimum random drug testing rate is effective January 1,
2020 through December 31, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions about this notice,
please contact Mr. Patrick Mannion, Drug and Alcohol Prevention and
Investigation Program Manager, Office of Investigations and Analysis
(CG-INV), U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, via email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard requires marine employers to
establish random drug testing programs for covered crewmembers in
accordance with 46 CFR 16.230. Marine employers are required by 46 CFR
16.500 to collect and maintain a record of drug testing data for each
calendar year, and submit this data to the Coast Guard in a Management
Information System (MIS) Report by March 15 of the following year.
    Each year, the Coast Guard will publish a notice reporting the
results of random drug testing for the previous calendar year's MIS
data and the required minimum annual percentage rate for random drug
testing for the next calendar year. The purpose of setting a minimum
random drug testing rate is to promote maritime safety by establishing
an effective deterrent to drug misuse within the maritime workforce.
Intoxicated operations poses a serious threat to life, property and the
environment in the maritime commons. As such, the minimum random drug
testing rate is intended to deter and detect illegal drug misuse in the
maritime industry.
    The Coast Guard announces that the minimum random drug testing rate
for calendar year 2020 is 50 percent. The Coast Guard continues a 50
percent minimum random drug testing rate for 2020 as a result of MIS
data for the most recent reporting year which indicated that the
positive rate continues to be greater than one percent. 46 CFR
16.230(f)(2) requires the Commandant to

set the minimum random drug testing rate at 50 percent when the
positivity rate for drug use is greater than 1 percent.
    For 2020, the minimum random drug testing rate will be 50 percent
of covered employees for the period of January 1, 2020 through December
31, 2020 in accordance with 46 CFR 16.230(e).

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP18-137-000]

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review of the Buckeye Xpress Project

    On March 26, 2018, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (Columbia) filed
an application in Docket No. CP18-137-000 requesting a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural gas pipeline
facilities. The proposed Project is known as the Buckeye Xpress Project
(Project), and would increase the firm natural gas transportation
capacity on Columbia's system by 275 million cubic feet per day.
    On April 9, 2018, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or

FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project. Among other
things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal authorizations of
the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and to reach a final
decision on a request for a federal authorization within 90 days of the
date of issuance of the Commission staff's Environmental Assessment
(EA) for the Project. This instant notice identifies the FERC staff's
planned schedule for the completion of the EA for the Project.

 Deadline.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    Columbia's Project would consist of replacing 60.8 miles of aging
20- to 24-inch-diameter pipeline with 66.2 miles of new 36-inch-
diameter pipeline on Columbia's existing Line R-501, constructing 0.2
mile of 4-inch-diameter pipeline for the Wellston Lateral, installing
four new mainline valves, and modifying existing compressor and
regulator stations, all in Ohio and West Virginia. The project would
also abandon 1.1 miles of 2- to 3-inch-diameter distribution pipeline.
The new pipeline would be 5.4 miles longer than the existing pipeline
to avoid steep land contours.

Background

    On October 16, 2017, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Planned Buckeye Xpress
Project, Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of
Public Scoping Sessions (NOI). The NOI was issued during the pre-filing
review of the Project in Docket No. PF17-6 and was sent to affected
landowners; federal, state, and local government agencies; elected
officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American
tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers.
In response to the NOI, the Commission received comments from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Ohio Farm Bureau, the Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency, the Sierra Club, the Center for
Biological Diversity, the Ohio Environmental Council, the Ohio Valley
Conservation Coalition, and four landowners. Major issues raised during
scoping include alternatives, greenhouse gas emissions, the need for an
environmental impact statement instead of an environmental assessment,
upstream and downstream impacts, climate impacts, induced development,
compliance with Wayne National Forest's 2006 Forest Plan, and that the
project is not needed. All substantive comments will be addressed in
the EA.
    The U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are
cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This 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:

    It has been found the possibility of missing points of sealant
application on the vapor barrier assembly in the wing stub rear box.
In the event of fuel tank leak in this region associated with an
unsealed vapor barrier assembly, migration of flammable vapors and
fluids to middle electronic bay may occur, which then could lead to
an uncontained fire event if the flammable vapors finds an ignition
source.
* * * * *

We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 19, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 19, 2010.

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 January 5, 2010 (75
FR 260). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    It has been found the possibility of missing points of sealant
application on the vapor barrier assembly in the wing stub rear box.
In the event of fuel tank leak in this region associated with an
unsealed vapor barrier assembly, migration of flammable vapors and
fluids to middle electronic bay may occur, which then could lead to
an uncontained fire event if the flammable vapors finds an ignition
source.
* * * * *

The required actions include a detailed inspection for gaps, voids, or
holes in the sealant. Corrective actions include applying sealant into
any gaps, voids, or holes. 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 considered the single comment received.

Request To Change Paragraph Reference

    The manufacturer, EMBRAER, requests that we revise paragraph (g)(3)
of the NPRM to refer to the inspection specified in paragraph (g)(1) of
the NPRM rather than paragraph (f)(1) as stated in the NPRM, because
the inspection is required by paragraph (g)(1) of the NPRM.
    We agree to revise paragraph (g)(3) of the AD to refer to paragraph
(g)(1) of the AD. Paragraph (f)(1) of this AD does not exist and
paragraph (f) has no inspection requirement; paragraph (g)(1) of this
AD contains the AD's only inspection requirement. We have changed
paragraph (g)(3) of the AD accordingly.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the change described previously. We determined that this change
will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the
scope of the AD.

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 required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Explanation of Change to Costs of Compliance

    Since issuance of the NPRM, we have increased the labor rate used
in the Costs of Compliance from $80 per work-hour to $85 per work-hour.
The Costs of Compliance information, below, reflects this increase in
the specified hourly labor rate.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 197 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 5 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $83,725, or $425 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); 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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 the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57: Wings.

Reason

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

    It has been found the possibility of missing points of sealant
application on the vapor

barrier assembly in the wing stub rear box. In the event of fuel
tank leak in this region associated with an unsealed vapor barrier
assembly, migration of flammable vapors and fluids to middle
electronic bay may occur, which then could lead to an uncontained
fire event if the flammable vapors finds an ignition source.
* * * * *
The required actions include a detailed inspection for gaps, voids,
or holes in the sealant. Corrective actions include applying sealant
into any gaps, voids, or holes.

Compliance

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

Actions

    (g) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 6,000 flight hours or 24 months after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs first, do a detailed inspection of
the vapor barrier assembly in the wing stub rear box for missing
sealant which forms gaps, voids or holes, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-57-0036,
dated March 13, 2009 (for Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, -
100 SU, -200 LR, -200 STD, and -200 SU airplanes); or EMBRAER
Service Bulletin 190-57-0027, dated March 18, 2009 (for Model ERJ
190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW
airplanes).

    Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a detailed inspection is:
``An intensive examination of a specific item, installation, or
assembly to detect damage, failure, or irregularity. Available
lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good
lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as
mirror, magnifying lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface cleaning
and elaborate access procedures may be required.''

    (2) If the vapor barrier sealant is found to be correctly
applied in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-57-0036, dated March 13, 2009 (for
Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, -100 SU, -200 LR, -200 STD,
and -200 SU airplanes); or EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190-57-0027,
dated March 18, 2009 (for Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 IGW,
-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes); no further action is
required by this AD.
    (3) If any vapor barrier sealant is found missing (gaps, voids
or holes) during the inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of this
AD, before further flight apply sealant into the applicable gaps,
voids, and holes, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions
of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-57-0036, dated March 13, 2009 (for
Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, -100 SU, -200 LR, -200 STD,
and -200 SU airplanes); or EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190-57-0027,
dated March 18, 2009 (for Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 IGW,
-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-89015; File No. SR-NYSEAMER-2020-29]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE American LLC; Order Approving
a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 2, To Modify Rule
967NY Regarding the Treatment of Orders Subject to Trade Collar
Protection

June 4, 2020.

I. Introduction

    On April 9, 2020, NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ a
proposed rule change to modify Exchange Rule 967NY regarding the
treatment of orders subject to Trade Collar Protection. The Exchange
submitted Amendment No. 2, which superseded and replaced the proposed
rule change, on April 23, 2020.\4\ The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal Register on April 30, 2020.\5\ The
Commission received no comments on the proposal. This order approves
the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.

The Exchange submitted Amendment No. 1 on April 22, 2020, and
withdrew it on April 23, 2020.
    \5\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88740 (April 24, 2020),
85 FR 24057 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal, as Modified by Amendment No. 2

    The Exchange states that it proposes changes to Rule 967NY(a) to
modify functionality and to adopt enhancements to the operation of the
Trading Collars.\6\ The Exchange applies Trade Collar Protection to
incoming market orders and marketable limit orders (each a ``collared
order'' and, collectively, ``Marketable Orders'') if the width of the
NBBO is greater than one Trading Collar. As described more fully in the
Notice, the Exchange states that Trading Collars mitigate the risks
associated with orders sweeping through multiple price points
(including during extreme market volatility) and resulting in
executions at prices that are potentially erroneous.\7\ According to
the Exchange, by applying Trading Collars to incoming orders, the
Exchange provides an opportunity to attract additional liquidity at
tighter spreads and it ``collars'' affected orders at successive price
points until the bid and offer are equal to the bid-ask differential
guideline for that option (i.e., equal to the Trading Collar).\8\
Similarly, by applying Trading Collars to partially executed orders,
the Exchange states that it prevents the balance of such orders from
executing away from the prevailing market after exhausting interest at
or near the top of book on arrival.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Notice, supra note 5, 85 FR at 24058. ``Trading
Collars'' are determined by the Exchange on a class-by-class basis
and, unless announced otherwise via Trader Update, are the same
value as the bid-ask differential guidelines established pursuant to
Rule 925NY(b)(4). See Rule 967NY(a)(2).
    \7\ See Notice, supra note 5, 85 FR at 24058.
    \8\ See id.
    \9\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to modify the treatment of
incoming market orders when the width of the NBBO is greater than one
Trading Collar (i.e., a ``wide market'') and there is an existing
contra-side collared order. Currently, an incoming market order would
immediately execute against an existing contra-side collared order in a
wide market.\10\ The Exchange proposes to reject a market order to buy
(sell) received in a wide market if there is already a collared
Marketable Order to sell (buy).\11\ The Exchange states that the
proposed rule change would prevent the execution of the market order at
a potential erroneous price and provide the collared order greater
opportunity to receive execution.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Rule 967NY(a)(1)(A).
    \11\ See proposed Rule 967NY(a)(1)(B).
    \12\ See Notice, supra note 5, 85 FR at 24059.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to amend the operation of the Trading
Collar so that the display price would be the last execution price of
the collared order.\13\ Currently, the display price of a collared
Marketable Order could be based on either the available contra-side
trading interest within (or outside of) one Trading Collar or the
Collar Range \14\ of the collared order.\15\ The Exchange states that
the proposed rule change would simplify the method of selecting the
display price (i.e., the current collar execution price) thereby
enabling investors to gauge market interest, and, by using a single
standard to determine

the display price, provide more certainty for order senders.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See proposed Rule 967NY(a)(5).
    \14\ A ``Collar Range'' is within one Trading Collar above (for
buy orders) or below (for sell orders) the collar execution price.
See Rule 967NY(a)(4)(D).
    \15\ See Rule 967NY(a)(5)(A)-(B).
    \16\ See Notice, supra note 5, 85 FR at 24059.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, a collared order to buy (sell) would be assigned a new
collar execution price one Trading Collar above (below) the current
displayed price of the collared order and processed at the updated
price after the expiration of one second and absent an update to the
NBBO.\17\ The Exchange states that the current rule is silent as to the
impact of any portion of the collared order routing to an away market
as well as which side of the NBBO needs to update during the one-
second time period.\18\ Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to define an
``Expiration'' as when a collared order displays without executing,
routing, or repricing and there is no update to the same-side NBBO
price for a period of at least one second.\19\ The Exchange states that
the proposed modification makes clear that any such routing or same-
side NBBO updates would restart the one-second timer for repricing
purposes, and that collared orders subject to conditions that qualify
as a proposed Expiration would be repriced as set forth in Rule
967NY(a)(6)(C).\20\ Relatedly, the Exchange proposes to add a new
paragraph that provides that a market order that is collared will
cancel after it is subject to a specified number of Expirations, to be
determined by the Exchange and announced by Trader Update.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Rule 967NY(a)(6)(C).
    \18\ See Notice, supra note 5, 85 FR at 24059.
    \19\ See proposed Rule 967NY(a)(6)(C).
    \20\ See Notice, supra note 5, 85 FR at 24059.
    \21\ See proposed Rule 967NY(a)(6)(C)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange states that it will announce the
implementation of the proposed rule change in a Trader Update to be
published no later than 60 days following a Commission approval.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See Notice, supra note 5, 85 FR at 24059.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a national securities exchange.\23\ In particular, the
Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 2, is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\24\
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \24\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that the Exchange believes that the proposal
to reject incoming market orders when there is a contra-side collared
order would allow the collared order to continue to seek liquidity
while providing the latter-arriving, contra-side order protection from
execution in a wide market, which could be indicative of unstable
market conditions or market dislocation.\25\ The Exchange also believes
that rejecting the incoming market order rather than collaring it while
there is a collared order on the contra-side would provide greater
execution opportunities for the collared order.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See Notice, supra note 5, 85 FR at 24059.
    \26\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Exchange believes that the proposal to select the
display price of a collared order based on the current collar execution
price would provide order senders with more certainty and enable them
to gauge indications of market interest.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that the Exchange believes that the proposed
definition of ``Expiration'' and the proposal to limit the number of
Expirations per collared market order would improve the operation of
the Trading Collar functionality because canceling back market orders
that have persisted for a certain number of Expirations, which could be
indicative of unstable market conditions, should provide order senders
more certainty of the handling of such orders and help avoid such
orders receiving bad executions in times of market dislocation.\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ See id. at 24060.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Commission notes that the Exchange states that the
proposed rule modifications to the Trading Collar functionality are
similar to functionality available on other options exchanges.\29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ Specifically, the Exchange compares the Trading Collar
functionality, as proposed, with NASDAQ Options Market and NASDAQ
OMX BX, Options 3, Section 15 (Risk Protections) (b)(1), Acceptable
Trade Range. The Exchange states that these exchanges provide a risk
protection feature for quotes and orders, which prevents executions
(partial or otherwise) of orders beyond an ``acceptable trade
range'' (as calculated by the exchange) and that when an order (or
quote) reaches the limits of the ``acceptable trade range'', it
posts for a period not to exceed one second and recalculated a new
``acceptable trade range''. See id. at 24060, n.22.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the operation of the Trade Collar
Protection mechanism set forth in the proposal is consistent with the
Act. In addition, the Commission believes that the proposed changes
should provide more certainty for investors with respect to how their
orders will be handled on the Exchange. Accordingly, the Commission
believes that the proposal is reasonably designed to help prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, promote just and
equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, protect investors and the public interest.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\30\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEAMER-2020-29), as
modified by Amendment No. 2, be, and it hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\31\
