Introduction The Fertilizer Institute, on behalf of its member companies, initiated a Product Testing Project to collect, review, summarize, and where necessary develop additional health and environmental safety data for 23 of its high production volume inorganic fertilizer materials. These data and summaries provide valuable information that can be used to update Material Safety Data Sheets, answer customers' questions, and support product stewardship efforts. The chemical industry is also participating in a voluntary program of comparable scope for high production volume organic chemicals. 1 The 23 fertilizer materials were divided into five categories ( i. e., ammonia compounds, nitrate compounds, phosphate compounds, salts and acids) based on their primary constituents as shown in Table 1. The use of categories is a recognized and accepted method that allows health and environmental safety data from one chemical in the category to be used to represent one or more other related chemicals in the category ( USEPA 1999). The key is to find similar, or at least predictable, patterns and trends among the chemicals in a category. In this way, data can be pooled, resources are optimized, and fewer animals are used in testing, all without losing the ability to evaluate the hazards and safety of the individual chemicals. Note that some of the materials fall into more than one category ( e. g., diammonium phosphate [ DAP] is in both the phosphate and ammonia categories).

Searches were conducted using on line databases, standard scientific data compendia, and other published sources for toxicity, ecotoxicity, environmental fate, and physical chemical properties. The collected data were reviewed for quality and acceptability and then summarized according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ( OECD) Screening Information Data Set ( SIDS) dossier format ( OECD 1997). The OECD countries ( including the United States) have agreed on a set of tests and on types of data that are generally necessary to characterize the chemical behavior and potential hazards of chemicals released into the environment. The OECD SIDS dossier was chosen as a standard format for the TFI Product Testing Project in order that it would be scientifically defensible, broadly applicable and easily understandable to a wide range of stakeholders.

The following sections of this Executive Overview provide the rationale for development of the Phosphate Compounds category ( Section II); a synopsis of the available data related to the physical chemical properties, environmental fate, ecotoxicity and toxicity of the phosphate compounds in this category ( Section III); and a conclusion regarding the adequacy of the data to sufficiently characterize the category and the need for additional testing ( Section IV).

The data for monoammonium phosphate ( MAP) are summarized in the Chemical Profile and Data Summary tables. Because the evaluation of data adequacy relies on a category approach, the Data Summary table references Appendix B when data are available for one or more of the other materials in the category for those data elements where no MAP data are available. Appendix B provides a summary of the data for all of the phosphate compounds in the category.

1 HPV Chemical Challenge Program; USEPA 1999 ( http:// www. epa. gov/ opptintr/ chemrtk/ volchall. htm) 2 Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 The individual studies for MAP itself are presented in subsequent pages of this document. Separate data summary documents are available for each of the phosphate compounds in the category.

II. Rationale for the Phosphate Compounds Category The phosphate compounds category for fertilizer materials includes diammonium phosphate ( DAP), monoammonium phosphate ( MAP), liquid polyphosphate, single superphosphate ( SSP), and granular triple superphosphate ( GTSP) 2. These compounds are grouped because of chemical composition similarities; phosphate being a primary component. All four compounds in the category contain phosphorus, hydrogen and oxygen. Three of the compounds also contain nitrogen. In additional, the four compounds have similar and generally predictable patterns of behavior in the environment as well as toxicological properties.

Phosphate compounds disassociate in water, and therefore may be regarded as degradable ( European Commission 2000a). They are used by all living organisms and both the anion and cation are nutrients for algae ( European Commission 2000b). The primary contributor to aquatic toxicity appears to be the un ionized ammonia component of DAP and MAP, although excess phosphate may also have an effect ( Johnson and Sanders 1977). As a nutrient, phosphate may also stimulate growth in algae ( Aufderheide and Bussard 2000). When GTSP is applied to soil, the water soluble monocalcium phosphate rapidly dissolves into the soil solution and is quickly precipitated as available dicalcium phosphate. Inorganic phosphates are generally retained by most soils in fixed forms and therefore little is lost by leaching ( European Commission 2000a). Liquid polyphosphate fertilizers behave essentially as salts in soil ( Lohry 2001).

Phosphate compounds are Generally Recognized As Safe ( GRAS) by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration ( 21 CFR 582.1141; Bhat and Ramaswamy 1993) which allows them to be used as food and color additives. Phosphate is an essential nutrient required by all organisms for proper metabolism. Orthophosphates in general are absorbed from, and to a limited extent secreted into, the gastrointestinal tract. The transport of phosphate from the lumen of the gut is an active, energy dependent process, and there are factors that appear to modify the degree of its intestinal absorption. Vitamin D stimulates phosphate absorption, and this effect has been reported to precede the action of the vitamin on transport of calcium ion. In general, in adults, about two thirds of the ingested phosphate is absorbed from the bowel, and that which is absorbed from the gut is almost entirely excreted into the urine.

2 SSP and GTSP are combined into a single Health and Environmental Safety Data Summary Document. 3 Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 III. Summary of Data Available for the Phosphate Compounds Category Detailed data summaries for phosphate compounds are included in subsequent sections of this Health and Environmental Safety Data Summary Document for MAP. These data are briefly summarized here.

Physical Chemical Data The density of phosphate compounds varies from 0.93 1.83 g/ L. All phosphate compounds are highly soluble in water with solubility ranging from 18 588 g/ L at temperatures from 0 to 30 ° C. The one vapor pressure value reported for DAP indicates low volatility (< 100 Pa at 20 ° C). No specific data on the octanol water partition coefficient ( Kow) are available, but based on the high water solubility it is expected that Kow and bioaccumulation potential would be low, although the body does absorb phosphates as necessary to carry out vital functions. These compounds dissociate and do not undergo oxidation reduction reactions so redox potentials are not applicable.

Environmental Fate and Pathway Little direct environmental fate testing has been conducted with the phosphate compounds, largely because such compounds generally dissociate in solution and therefore photodegradation and biodegradation mechanisms are less important. However, phosphates may be regarded as biodegradable, as they are utilized by all living organisms. The phosphorus cycle is well understood ( e. g. see www. ppi far. org/ ppiweb/ ppibase. nsf/$ webindex/ article= 678CA758852569B5005C148685E4A99F).

Ecotoxicity Acute 96 hour studies have been reported in the literature on various fish species. These reported LC50 values range from 90 5,900 mg/ L for DAP and other compounds in the phosphate category. Additional acute fish toxicity studies have been conducted for MAP and liquid polyphosphate according to OECD protocols and under Good Laboratory Practice ( GLP) conditions. Results indicate no toxicity at the highest nominal concentration ( 100 mg/ L) tested in both tests. MAP and liquid polyphosphate concentrations were calculated based on measurements of total phosphate. For the high concentration in each test, the measured concentrations were 85.9 and 101 mg/ L of MAP and liquid polyphosphate, respectively. Acute studies with Daphnia magna were not available for members of the phosphate category, but studies have been conducted with commercial grade superphosphate on a similar daphnid species, Daphnia carinata. These 72 hour studies resulted in LC50 values of approximately 1,800 mg/ L at both 22 and 30 º C. Results from acute toxicity testing of other aquatic invertebrates have also been reported, with LC50 values ranging from about 1000 to over 5,000 mg/ L for DAP and superphosphates. Based on the standard Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act ( FIFRA) acute toxicity ratings for fish and Daphnia ( below), the compounds in this category are considered slightly toxic to practically non toxic. 4 Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 EC/ LC50 ( mg/ L) Toxicity Description < 0.1 Very Highly Toxic 0.1 1 Highly Toxic 1 10 Moderately Toxic 10 100 Slightly Toxic > 100 Practically Non Toxic Additional studies have been conducted to evaluate the toxicity of DAP and GTSP to an alga species, Selenastrum capricornutum. Both materials were tested according to OECD protocols under GLP conditions. The resultant 72 hr NOECs were 97.1 and 87.6 mg/ L, for DAP and GTSP, respectively. No adverse inhibitory effects were observed in either test. Some stimulation of growth was noted in both tests, with resultant NOEC values of 3.57 and 21.6 mg/ L for DAP and GTSP respectively. This effect is consistent with the known stimulatory ( nutrient) effect of phosphate compounds and reflects the phenomenon that some level of phosphate is essential ( e. g., fisheries productivity is dependent on sufficient nutrient availability) but excess nutrient levels can lead to overproduction.

Mammalian Toxicity Acute toxicity The only toxicity study available from the literature was one in which ewes were dosed with a granular preparation of superphosphate. The reported LD50 for this study was 5,000 6,000 mg/ kg bw. To provide additional data for the category, additional studies were initiated for DAP, MAP, and liquid polyphosphate using the OECD " up and down" protocol under GLP conditions. For all three compounds, rats received an initial dose of 2000 mg/ kg bw by oral gavage. All animals survived, gained weight, and appeared active and healthy throughout the study period, with no signs of toxicity observed for any of the test materials. Similarly, additional acute toxicity studies for exposure via the dermal route were conducted on DAP, MAP, and liquid polyphosphate using the OECD limit test protocol under GLP conditions. In dermal exposures of 5,000 mg/ kg bw, no signs of toxicity were observed and all animals survived, gained weight, and appeared active and healthy throughout the tests. Based on the standard FIFRA acute toxicity ratings for mammals ( below), the compounds in this category are considered to be of low to very low toxicity ( 40 CFR 156.62).

Toxicity Category I II III IV Toxicity Rating High Moderate Low Very Low Oral LD50   50 mg/ kg > 50 500 mg/ kg > 500 5000 mg/ kg > 5000 mg/ kg Dermal LC50   200 mg/ kg > 200 2000 mg/ kg > 2000 20,000 mg/ kg > 20,000 mg/ kg Inhalation LC50   0.2 mg/ L > 0.2 2 mg/ L > 2 20 mg/ L > 20 mg/ L 5 Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 Skin and eye irritation No specific animal studies are available for skin and eye irritation. Data for the dermal studies described above indicate that skin exposures are not a significant concern. However, dust from the solid materials and concentrated solutions of the liquid materials can be mild irritants.

Genotoxicity In vitro bacterial and non bacterial genotoxicity studies have been conducted on DAP and GTSP as representatives of the category. Using the OECD bacterial reverse mutation assay ( Ames) protocol under GLP conditions, S. typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, and TA 1537 were tested at concentrations of 50, 150, 500, 1,500, and 5,000 µ g/ plate. Using the OECD mammalian chromosome aberration test under GLP conditions, Chinese hamster ovaries were tested at concentrations from 185 to 1,480 µ g/ mL. In all of the in vitro genotoxicity studies, results were negative in all cases both with and without metabolic activation. One in vivo study is reported in the literature from 1988 in which single superphosphate was incorporated into the food of mice at 500 mg/ day for 7 days. Chromosomal aberrations were observed in the bone marrow and the authors concluded that single superphosphate was clastogenic and possibly mutagenic. Given the high doses of this study and the lack of effect noted in the in vitro studies conducted under GLP conditions, the genotoxicity potential appears to be low.

Repeated dose, reproductive and developmental toxicity Studies have been conducted on DAP and GTSP using the OECD Guideline 422 combined protocol that provides data on repeated dose exposures as well as reproductive and developmental endpoints. Doses of 250, 750, and 1,500 mg/ kg/ day were given by gavage to male and female rats daily ( 7 days/ week). Animals were divided between separate toxicity and reproductive subgroups. The exposure period for the toxicity subgroup was 35 days, while the exposure period for the reproductive subgroup was at most 28 days among males and 53 days among females. No treatment related mortality or signs of overt clinical toxicity were observed in either subgroup. In the toxicity subgroup, several hematological, clinical chemistry, and histopathological parameters among the low, mid, and high dose animals showed effects. In the reproductive subgroup, effects on body weight and food consumption were observed in a non dose related manner. No effects on offspring were observed in either study. For GTSP, the resulting NOAEL for reproductive/ developmental toxicity was 750 mg/ kg/ day. The resultant LOAELs were 250 and 1,500 mg/ kg/ day for the general toxicity and reproductive/ developmental toxicity, respectively. For DAP, the NOAEL for general toxicity was 250 mg/ kg/ day and for reproductive/ developmental toxicity was 1,500 mg/ kg/ day. The LOAELs were 500 and > 1,500 mg/ kg/ day for the general toxicity and reproductive/ developmental toxicity, respectively.

IV. Conclusion for the Phosphate Compounds Category A substantial amount of data has been produced for the compounds in the phosphate compounds category. These data include GLP studies on the acute oral and dermal toxicity of DAP, MAP, and liquid phosphate and bacterial and non bacterial genotoxicity studies on DAP and GTSP. 6 Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 Additionally, GLP acute fish studies were conducted on liquid polyphosphate and MAP, and GLP algae studies were conducted on DAP and GTSP. Combined repeat dose/ reproductive/ developmental studies were also conducted on DAP and GTSP. The results indicate that these compounds are slightly toxic to practically non toxic to aquatic organisms and of low to very low toxicity to mammals. The compounds in the phosphate category are adequately characterized. 7 Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 TABLE 1: CATEGORIES FOR PRODUCT TESTING PROJECT CATEGORY COMPOUND CAS NUMBER Ammonia Compounds Anhydrous ammonia Aqua ammonia Ammonium nitrate Ammonium sulfate Ammonium thiosulfate Nitrogen solutions ( UAN)* Ammonium phosphate sulfate Diammonium phosphate ( DAP) Monoammonium phosphate ( MAP) Urea 7664 41 7 1336 21 6 6484 52 2 7783 20 2 7783 18 8 15978 77 5 12593 60 1 7783 28 0 7722 76 1 57 13 6 Nitrate Compounds Sodium nitrate Ammonium nitrate Potassium nitrate Potassium sodium nitrate Nitrogen solutions ( UAN)* 7631 99 4 6484 52 2 7757 79 1 7757 79 1/ 7631 99 4 15978 77 5 Phosphate Compounds Diammonium phosphate ( DAP) Monoammonium phosphate ( MAP) Liquid polyphosphate Single superphosphate** Granular triple superphosphate** 7783 28 0 7722 76 1  8011 76 5 65996 95 4 Salts Potassium chloride Potassium magnesium sulfate Potassium nitrate Potassium sodium nitrate Potassium sulfate Calcium sulfate 7447 40 7 14168 73 1 7757 79 1 7757 79 1/ 7631 99 4 7778 80 5 7778 18 9 Acids Phosphoric acid Nitric acid Sulfuric acid 7664 38 2 7697 37 2 7664 93 9 * = Nitrogen solutions are represented largely by Urea Ammonia Nitrogen ( UAN; 15978 77 5) ** = Single superphosphate and granular triple superphosphate are combined into a single dossier.  = No CAS number readily available 8 Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 V.

1.8 OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT VALUE Type: OSHA PEL Value: 15 mg/ m3 total dust, 5 mg/ m3 respirable fraction Remarks: No specific limit has been set, however, the federal OSHA PEL for particulates not otherwise regulated applies to all fertilizer dusts. Regulated limits may vary in local jurisdictions.

1.9 SOURCES OF EXPOSURE Remarks: Exposures are expected to be limited because MAP is manufactured in closed systems. MAP can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol or dust, or after direct exposure to skin or eyes. Engineering controls such as mechanical ventilation, process or personnel 15 Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 enclosure, control of process conditions, and process modifications significantly reduce exposure. Local exhaust ( ventilation) control as close to the point of generation is both the most economical and safest method to minimize personnel exposure to airborne concentrations. Personal protective equipment includes neoprene or nitrile gloves, dust masks or fume hoods as appropriate, chemical safety goggles, and impervious apron, sleeves and boots. Field exposure to workers is possible when handling and using on farms as a fertilizer. However, fertilizers are applied by mechanical spreaders, which reduces contact exposure. Environmental releases are controlled at the manufacturing plant. Gaseous emissions are low due to use of scrubbers and liquid effluent is recovered as much as possible. Exposure to environmental receptors is dependent on the amount used as fertilizer on fields, the climatic conditions, and the hydrological conditions of the area of application. Phosphate materials are common in the environment and are essential nutrients for both plants and animals. References: European Commission. 2000. Monoammonium Phosphate.

Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 APPENDIX A   SIDS Data Availability Summary Monoammonium Phosphate ( MAP) CAS # 7722 76 1 Explanation of Appendix A Appendix A is a SIDS Data Summary table that provides an overview of availability and quality of the data used in this Health and Environmental Safety Data Summary for Monoammonium Phosphate. Y ( Yes) and N ( No) designations indicate whether data are available that meet the criteria for each column. The columns are described as:

Information: Data exist that were useful for describing the data element. These data may be from standard laboratory tests or from generally recognized published sources or professional experience.

OECD Study: The data were developed using standard OECD or essentially similar ( e. g., EPA harmonized protocols) guidelines.

GLP: The data were developed under standard Good Laboratory Practice provisions. These generally represent the highest quality data.

Other Study: Studies were conducted that could not be definitively identified as following OECD or GLP protocols. These studies were included when they were determined to be of adequate quality and provided relevant information to the characterization of the compound.

Estimation Method: In some cases, data may be estimated using established structure activity relationships. These methods are common for physical chemical parameters such as octanolwater partition coefficients and water solubility.

Acceptable: This column indicates whether the data are deemed acceptable by standard acceptability criteria and professional judgment. Only the data meeting adequacy standards are included in this summary document.

SIDS Testing Recommended: This column indicates whether additional testing is recommended based on an evaluation of the available data summarized in this document. It is generally not necessary to fill all of the apparent data gaps in order to adequately characterize the inherent hazard of chemicals. Information from other data elements and from other chemicals in the category, along with professional judgment, are useful in the final determination of the need for further testing.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Boston Stock Exchange Clearing
Corporation; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change With Respect to
the Amendment of the By-Laws of Its Parent Corporation, The NASDAQ OMX
Group, Inc. (``NASDAQ OMX'')

July 23, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on July 11, 2012, Boston Stock Exchange Clearing Corporation (``BSECC''
or the ``Corporation'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II and III below, which Items have been prepared primarily by
the Corporation. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Corporation proposes a rule change with respect to the
amendment of the by-laws of its parent corporation, The NASDAQ OMX
Group, Inc. (``NASDAQ OMX'').

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Corporation included
statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule
change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule
change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places
specified in Item IV below. The Corporation has prepared summaries, set
forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of
such statements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by BSECC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    NASDAQ OMX is proposing amendments to provisions of its by-laws
pertaining to the composition of the Management Compensation Committee
of the NASDAQ OMX Board of Directors. Specifically, NASDAQ OMX is
amending the compositional requirements of its Management Compensation
Committee in Section 4.13 to replace a requirement that the committee
be composed of a majority of Non-Industry Directors \4\ with a
requirement that the number of Non-Industry Directors on the committee
equal or exceed the number of Industry Directors. Thus, in the case of
a committee composed of four Directors, the current by-law provides
that only one Director may be an Industry Director, while the amended
by-law would allow up to two Directors to be Industry Directors. The
proposed compositional requirement for the committee with regard to the
balance between Industry Directors and Non-Industry Directors would be
the same as that already provided for in the by-laws with respect to
the Executive Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee, as
well as the full Board of Directors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ An ``Industry Director'' means a Director (excluding any two
officers of NASDAQ OMX, selected at the sole discretion of the
Board, amongst those officers who may be serving as Directors (the
``Staff Directors'')) who (1) Is or has served in the prior three
years as an officer, director, or employee of a broker or dealer,
excluding an outside director or a director not engaged in the day-
to-day management of a broker or dealer; (2) is an officer, director
(excluding an outside director), or employee of an entity that owns
more than ten percent of the equity of a broker or dealer, and the
broker or dealer accounts for more than five percent of the gross
revenues received by the consolidated entity; (3) owns more than
five percent of the equity securities of any broker or dealer, whose
investments in brokers or dealers exceed ten percent of his or her
net worth, or whose ownership interest otherwise permits him or her
to be engaged in the day-to-day management of a broker or dealer;
(4) provides professional services to brokers or dealers, and such
services constitute 20 percent or more of the professional revenues
received by the Director or 20 percent or more of the gross revenues
received by the Director's firm or partnership; (5) provides
professional services to a director, officer, or employee of a
broker, dealer, or corporation that owns 50 percent or more of the
voting stock of a broker or dealer, and such services relate to the
director's, officer's, or employee's professional capacity and
constitute 20 percent or more of the professional revenues received
by the Director or 20 percent or more of the gross revenues received
by the Director's firm or partnership; or (6) has a consulting or
employment relationship with or provides professional services to
NASDAQ OMX or any affiliate thereof or to the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (``FINRA'') or has had any such relationship or
provided any such services at any time within the prior three years.
    A ``Non-Industry Director'' means a Director (excluding the
Staff Directors) who is (1) A Public Director; (2) an officer,
director, or employee of an issuer of securities listed on a
national securities exchange operated by any subsidiary of NASDAQ
OMX that is a self-regulatory organization; or (3) any other
individual who would not be an Industry Director.
    A ``Public Director'' means a Director who has no material
business relationship with a broker or dealer, NASDAQ OMX or its
affiliates, or FINRA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ OMX and the Corporation believe that the change will provide
greater flexibility to NASDAQ OMX with regard to populating a committee
that includes Directors with relevant expertise and that is not
excessively large in relation to the size of the full Board of
Directors while continuing to ensure that Directors associated with
members of NASDAQ OMX's exchange subsidiaries and other broker-dealers
do not exert disproportionate influence of the governance of NASDAQ
OMX. As required by NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5605(d), the committee
would continue at all times to be composed solely of Directors who are
independent within the meaning of that rule.
    The Corporation believes that that the proposed rule change is
consistent with provisions of Section 17A of the Act because it will
help ensure that the Corporation is so organized and has the capacity
to comply with the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder.\5\ Specifically, the Corporation believes that the change
will provide greater flexibility to NASDAQ OMX with regard to
populating a committee that includes Directors with relevant expertise
and that is not excessively large in relation to the size of the full
Board of Directors, while continuing to ensure that Directors
associated with members of NASDAQ OMX's exchange subsidiaries and other
broker-dealers do not exert disproportionate influence of the
governance of NASDAQ OMX.

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

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

    The Corporation does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or

(ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the
Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove the proposed rule change or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
(Embraer) Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (Embraer) Model EMB-135ER, -
135KE, -135KL, -135LR, -145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP,
and -145EP airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination of the
need to revise the airplane airworthiness limitations related to the
pylon yokes I and II, and the skin panel of the windshield pillar. This
AD requires revising the maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of
various structural elements, which could affect the structural
integrity of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 6, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of March 6,
2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Embraer Model EMB -
135ER, -135KE, -135KL, -135LR, -145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -
145MP, and -145EP airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on September 4, 2014 (79 FR 52588).
    The Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC),
which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian
Airworthiness Directive 2014-01-01, dated January 20, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Embraer Model EMB
-135ER, -135KE, -135KL, -135LR, -145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -
145MP, and -145EP airplanes. The MCAI states:

    This [Brazilian] AD was prompted by a new revision to the
airworthiness limitations requirements [related to the pylon yokes I
and II, and the skin panel of the windshield pillar] of the
Maintenance Review Board Report. We are issuing this [Brazilian] AD
to ensure that fatigue cracking of various structural elements is
detected and corrected.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0622-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (79 FR 52588, September 4,
2014) 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 this 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 (79 FR 52588, September 4, 2014) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 52588, September 4, 2014).

Related Service Information

    We reviewed EMBRAER EMB145 Temporary Revision 15-3, dated August
26, 2013, to the Airworthiness Limitation Requirements of the EMBRAER
EMB145 Maintenance Review Board Report MRB 145/1150; and EMBRAER EMB145
Temporary Revision 15-4, dated August 26, 2013, to the Airworthiness
Limitation Requirements of the EMBRAER EMB145 Maintenance Review Board
Report MRB-145/1150. The service information describes airworthiness
limitations related to inspections of certain fuselage or pylon
components. You can find this information at http://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2014-0622.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 688 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour 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
on U.S. operators to be $58,480, or $85 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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/#!docketDetail;D=FAA-2014-0622; 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 this AD, the
regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information.
