[Docket No. FAA-2020-0512; Airspace Docket No. 20-AGL-10]
RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes T-301 and
T-305; Northcentral United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to establish area navigation (RNAV)
routes T-301 and T-305 in the northcentral United States. The proposed
new RNAV routes would expand the availability of RNAV routing in
support of transitioning the National Airspace System (NAS) from
ground-based to satellite-based navigation. Additionally, a portion of
the new RNAV routes would provide enroute structure where VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway segments were removed due to
the Cape Girardeau, MO, VOR being decommissioned in support of the
FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 30, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would expand the availability of RNAV in the
northcentral United States and improve the efficient flow of air
traffic within the NAS by lessening the dependency on ground-based
navigation.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019. FAA Order

7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of
this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

Background

    In 2003, Congress enacted the Vision 100--Century of Aviation
Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 108-176), which established a joint
planning and development office in the FAA to manage the work related
to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Today,
NextGen is an ongoing FAA-led modernization of the nation's air
transportation system to make flying safer, more efficient, and more
predictable.
    In support of NextGen efforts to improve the safety and efficiency
of the NAS, as well as transition the NAS from a ground-based to a
satellite-based Performance Based Navigation (PBN) system, the FAA is
proposing to establish RNAV routes T-301 and T-305 to provide
additional PBN enroute structure. This action would reduce air traffic
control (ATC) sector workload and complexity, reduce pilot-to-
controller communication, assist ATC when non-radar procedures are
required, and increase NAS capacity in the areas of the new RNAV T-
routes.
    Additionally, portions of the proposed T-routes would mitigate
previously removed airway segments from VOR Federal airways V-125 and
V-313 in the Cape Girardeau, MO, area due to the planned
decommissioning of the Cape Girardeau, MO, VOR in July 2020, as well as
supplement existing Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes beyond the Cape
Girardeau area. The new T-routes would also provide Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) pilots that are equipped for RNAV PBN additional ATS route
options for navigating around areas of heavy aviation activity and in
areas of limited or no radar coverage. Visual Flight Rules (VFR)
pilots, equipped with RNAV PBN, who elect to navigate via ATS routes,
could also take advantage of the proposed RNAV T-routes.
    The proposed T-301 would provide RNAV routing from the Cape
Girardeau, MO, area; through the Centralia, IL, and Springfield, IL,
areas; to the Peoria, IL, area. Similarly, the proposed T-305 would
provide RNAV routing from the Cape Girardeau, MO, area; through the
Sparta, IL, and Vandalia, IL, areas; to the Terra Haute, IN, area.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish RNAV routes T-301 and T-305.
The proposed new T-routes are described below.
    T-301: T-301 is a proposed new RNAV route that would extend between
the Cape Girardeau, MO, DME and the Peoria, IL, VORTAC. This T-route
would provide enroute routing in place of the recently removed V-313
airway segment between the Cape Girardeau, MO, DME and the Centralia,
IL, VORTAC; enroute routing adjacent to the existing V-67 airway
segments between the Centralia, IL, VORTAC and the Spinner, IL, VORTAC;
and enroute routing over the existing V-129 airway segment between the
Spinner, IL, VORTAC and the Peoria, IL, VORTAC.
    T-305: T-305 is a proposed new RNAV route that would extend between
the Cape Girardeau, MO, DME and the JIBKA, IN, waypoint. This T-route
would provide enroute routing adjacent to and slightly beyond the
recently removed V-125 airway segment between the Cape Girardeau, MO,
DME and the NIKEL fix; routing to transition northeastward to the
TYMME, IL, waypoint (new) located near the Vandalia, IL, VORTAC; and
enroute routing adjacent to the V-14 airway segments between the
Vandalia, IL, VORTAC and the Terra Haute, IN, VORTAC to the JIBKA, IN,
waypoint (new) located approximately one nautical mile northwest of the
Terra Haute VORTAC.
    United States RNAV T-routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes
listed in this document would be subsequently published in the Order.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies--21 CFR
Part 58

OMB Control Number 0910-0119--Extension

    Sections 409, 505, 512, and 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 348, 355, 360b, and 360e) and related statutes
require manufacturers of food additives, human drugs and biological
products, animal drugs, and medical devices to demonstrate the safety
and utility of their product by submitting applications to FDA for
research or marketing permits. Such applications contain, among other
important items, full reports of all studies done to demonstrate
product safety in man and/or other animals. In order to ensure adequate
quality control for these studies and to provide an adequate degree of
consumer protection, the Agency issued good laboratory practice (GLP)
regulations for nonclinical laboratory studies in part 58 (21 CFR part
58). The regulations specify minimum standards for the proper conduct
of safety testing and contain sections on facilities, personnel,
equipment, standard operating procedures (SOPs), test and control
articles, quality assurance, protocol and conduct of a safety study,
records and reports, and laboratory disqualification,

and include information collection provisions.
    Part 58 requires testing facilities engaged in conducting
toxicological studies to retain, and make available to regulatory
officials, records regarding compliance with GLPs. Records are
maintained on file at each testing facility and examined there
periodically by FDA inspectors. The GLP regulations require that, for
each nonclinical laboratory study, a final report be prepared that
documents the results of quality assurance unit inspections, test and
control article characterization, testing of mixtures of test and
control articles with carriers, and an overall interpretation of
nonclinical laboratory studies. The GLP regulations also require
written records pertaining to: (1) Personnel job descriptions and
summaries of training and experience; (2) master schedules, protocols
and amendments thereto, inspection reports, and SOPs; (3) equipment
inspection, maintenance, calibration, and testing records; (4)
documentation of feed and water analyses and animal treatments; (5)
test article accountability records; and (6) study documentation and
raw data.
    In the Federal Register of July 24, 2020 (85 FR 44900), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information.
    One comment was received that encouraged implementation of
automated collection methods and analytical software to evaluate
results. FDA appreciates this comment and continually seek ways to
employ efficient collection methods using our limited resources. The
comment suggested no revision to our burden estimate.
    FDA estimates the burden of this information collection as follows:

Amendment 39-15651; AD 2008-17-13]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -
300, -400, and -500 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes. This AD requires replacing the existing straight-to-90-
degree hose assembly for the Lavatory ``A'' water supply. The
replacement is a new straight hose assembly and a separate 90-degree
elbow fitting. This AD results from a report of a separated hose
assembly for the passenger water system. We are issuing this AD to
prevent a water leak into the flight deck ceiling, which could result
in an electrical short and possible loss of several functions essential
to safe flight.

DATES: This AD is effective November 5, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 5,
2008.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
certain Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on February
8, 2008 (73 FR 7488). That NPRM proposed to require replacing the
existing straight-to-90-degree hose assembly for the Lavatory ``A''
water supply. The replacement is a new straight hose assembly and a
separate 90-degree elbow fitting.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received from the four commenters.

Support for the NPRM

    Boeing concurs with the contents of the proposed rule. Air
Transport Association, on behalf of its member, United Airlines (UA),
states that UA supports the proposed rule as drafted.
    Margie Tillotson, a private citizen, has no objections to the NPRM.

Requests To Address Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) Parts

    Aviation Data Research (ADR) and Modification and Replacement Parts
Association (MARPA), make several comments related to PMA parts. ADR
and MARPA state that the NPRM should be modified to embrace PMA
alternatives to the original equipment

manufacturer (OEM) part numbers listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737-38A1054, dated August 23, 2007 (which we cited as the appropriate
source of service information for accomplishing the proposed actions).
ADR states that two parts could conceivably be affected by the design
problems underlying the proposed action: In 1992 Parker Hannifin
obtained a PMA on part number (P/N) 3112002-139 by licensure to produce
a replacement part for P/N 10-60871-139; in 1996 Crane Resistoflex
obtained a PMA on P/N R 23582-0366 by licensure to produce a
replacement part for P/N 10-60871-125.
    ADR points out that under the wording of the NPRM, these parts,
which presumably suffer the same defects as the OEM part, can be
installed in place of the OEM parts. In contrast, MARPA states that it
would appear that installation of PMA alternatives is forbidden, and
that it is presumptuous to assume that the PMA alternatives are likely
to be defective. ADR and MARPA request that the NPRM be revised to
cover possible defective PMA alternative parts. MARPA adds that the AD
should explicitly permit the installation of other FAA-approved
replacement or modification parts. In addition, ADR states that there
should be procedures ``within all AD writing units'' to perform PMA
research any time a particular part number is affected by a discovered
defect.
    The FAA recognizes the need for standardization of issues related
to PMA parts to which the commenter refers, and is currently in the
process of reviewing issues that address the use of PMAs in ADs at the
national level. However, the Transport Airplane Directorate considers
that to delay this particular AD action would be inappropriate, since
we have determined that an unsafe condition exists and that replacement
of certain parts must be accomplished to ensure continued safety.
Therefore, no change has been made to the final rule in this regard.
    We have evaluated the PMA part numbers to which the commenter
refers. As a point of clarification, the part numbers that the
commenter mentions, Boeing P/N 10-60871-139 (PMA replacement P/N
3112002-139) and Boeing P/N 10-60871-125 (PMA replacement P/N R 23582-
0366), are replaced only at the location affected by the AD because of
a change in design for that location. (These parts may be installed at
other locations, and the continued use of these parts at those
locations is acceptable.) We have found that Stratoflex makes
replacements for both P/N 10-60871-139 and P/N 10-60871-125. Stratoflex
(originally Crane Resistoflex) P/N 23582-0366, which is a replacement
for Boeing P/N 10-60871-125, is not in production but some of these
parts may be installed at the location affected by this AD. PMA P/N
3112002-139 and PMA P/N R 23582-0366 are marked with both the Boeing
part number and the PMA part number. Therefore, the requirements of the
AD apply to these PMA parts and the PMA parts must be removed from
service at the location affected by the AD. No change has been made to
the final rule in this regard.

Request To Make Service Information Publicly Available

    MARPA points out that, since Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-
38A1054 is not on the public record, it does not seem to meet the
criteria for incorporation by reference, in which the document must be
reasonably available to and usable by the persons affected by the
publication. MARPA states that the regulated industry has repeatedly
complained about unavailability of service information.
    We infer that MARPA would like us to make Boeing service
information available online. We are currently in the process of
reviewing issues surrounding the posting of service bulletins online as
part of an online AD docket. Once we have thoroughly examined all
aspects of this issue and have made a final determination, we will
consider whether our current practice needs to be revised. In the
meantime, these documents are available for public review at the
locations specified in paragraph (i)(3) of this AD. Further questions
regarding publication of documents in the Federal Register or
incorporation by reference should be directed to the OFR. No change to
the final rule is necessary in response to this comment.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 779 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it takes between 4 and 7 work-hours per airplane to
comply with this AD, depending on the airplane configuration. The
average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts cost about $400
per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to
the U.S. operators to be between $560,880 and $747,840, or between $720
and $960 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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-26-04 for
certain The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and
-500 series airplanes. AD 2007-26-04 required repetitive inspections
for cracking of certain fasteners, and repair if necessary; and a
preventive modification, which terminated the repetitive inspections.
This AD removes the mandatory modification; adds repetitive inspections
of the skin for cracking, a one-time inspection for defects of the
production countersunk rivets, and corrective actions if necessary; and
adds an optional skin trim-out repair, which will terminate certain
inspections. This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design
approval holder (DAH) indicating that certain skin panels are subject
to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). We are issuing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective July 25, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 25,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2007-26-04, Amendment 39-15306 (72 FR 71216,
December 17, 2007) (``AD 2007-26-04''). AD 2007-26-04 applied to
certain Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on October 20,
2016 (81 FR 72554) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by an
evaluation by the DAH indicating that the forward skin panel at the
station (STA) 259.5 circumferential butt splice between stringers 19L
and 24L is subject to WFD. The NPRM proposed to continue to require
repetitive inspections for cracking around the heads of the fasteners
on the forward fastener row in certain areas of a certain
circumferential butt splice, and repair if necessary. The NPRM also
proposed to add repetitive inspections of the skin for cracking at the
aft fastener column, and a one-time inspection for defects in the
production countersunk rivets, and corrective actions if necessary; and
add an optional skin trim-out repair, which would terminate certain
inspections. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracking of the STA
259.5 circumferential butt splice, which could result in loss of
structural integrity of the fuselage skin and possible loss of cabin
pressure.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Revise Terminating Action

    Southwest Airlines (SWA) requested that we revise paragraph (i) of
the proposed AD to specify that doing the optional repairs terminates
the initial and repetitive inspections instead of just the repetitive
inspections. SWA stated that if a terminating repair were installed
prior to the initial inspection, there is no justification for either
the initial or repetitive inspections.
    We agree with SWA's request. We have revised paragraph (i) of this
AD to specify that the terminating repairs are applicable to both the
initial and repetitive inspections.

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that accomplishing the supplemental
type certificate (STC) ST01219SE does not affect the actions specified
in the NPRM.
    We concur with the commenter. We have redesignated paragraph (c) of
the proposed AD as paragraph (c)(1) of this AD and added paragraph
(c)(2) to this AD to state that installation of STC ST01219SE does not
affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD.
Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is installed, a
``change in product'' alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval
request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR
39.17.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously, and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:

     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1267, Revision 1,
dated March 8, 2016 (``ASB 737-53A1267, R1''). The service information
describes procedures for detailed inspections and high frequency eddy
current (HFEC) surface inspections of the skin around the fastener
heads for any crack on the forward and aft fastener columns, left and
right sides, at STA 259.5 circumferential butt splice; a detailed
inspection for any defect of the production countersunk rivet heads on
both forward and aft fastener columns, left and right sides, at the STA
259.5 circumferential butt splice; and corrective actions, including a
skin trim-out repair and other repairs. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business or by the means identified in
the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 115 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the optional skin-trim-out repair specified in this
AD.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (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.

    (2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
ST01219SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/
rgstc.nsf/0/ebd1cec7b301293e86257cb30045557a/$FILE/ST01219SE.pdf)
does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by
this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is
installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53, Fuselage.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval
holder indicating that the forward skin panel at the station (STA)
259.5 circumferential butt splice between stringers 19L and 24L is
subject to widespread fatigue damage. We are issuing this AD to
prevent cracking of the STA 259.5 circumferential butt splice, which
could result in loss of structural integrity of the fuselage skin
and possible loss of cabin pressure.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Actions for Group 2 Airplanes

    For airplanes identified as Group 2 in ASB 737-53A1267, R1:
Within 120 days after the effective date of this AD, inspect the
airplane and do all applicable corrective actions using a method
approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph
(k) of this AD.

(h) Inspections for Group 1 Airplanes

    For airplanes identified as Group 1 in ASB 737-53A1267, R1:
Except as specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD, at the
applicable time specified in paragraph 1.E. ``Compliance'' of ASB
737-53A1267, R1, do the applicable actions specified in paragraphs
(h)(1) and (h)(2) of this AD; and do all applicable corrective
actions; in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of ASB
737-53A1267, R1, except as specified in paragraph (j)(2) of this AD
and as provided by paragraph (i) of this AD. Do all applicable
corrective actions before further flight. Repeat the applicable
inspections specified in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD thereafter at
the applicable intervals specified paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,''
of ASB 737-53A1267, R1, except as provided by paragraph (i) of this
AD.
    (1) Do detailed inspections and high frequency eddy current
(HFEC) surface inspections of the skin around the fastener heads for
any crack on the forward and aft fastener columns, left and right
sides, at STA 259.5 circumferential butt splice, in accordance with
Parts 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9 of the Accomplishment Instructions of ASB
737-53A1267, R1, as applicable.
    (2) Do a one-time detailed inspection for any defect of the
production countersunk rivet heads on both forward and aft fastener
columns, left and right sides, at STA 259.5 circumferential butt
splice, in accordance with Part 3 of the Accomplishment Instructions
of ASB 737-53A1267, R1.

(i) Repairs That Terminate Inspections in Repair Areas

    (1) For airplanes identified as Group 1, Configuration 1, in ASB
737-53A1267, R1: Doing the skin trim-out repair specified in Part 5
of the Accomplishment Instructions of ASB 737-53A1267, R1,
terminates the initial and repetitive inspections required by
paragraph (h) of this AD that are specified in Part 1 of the
Accomplishment Instructions of ASB 737-53A1267, R1, only; all other
inspections required by paragraph (h) of this AD must be done,
except as provided by paragraph (i)(2) of this AD.
    (2) For airplanes identified as Group 1, Configuration 1 in ASB
737-53A1267, R1: Doing the skin repair specified in Part 4 of the
Accomplishment Instructions of ASB 737-53A1267, R1, terminates the
initial and repetitive inspections required by paragraph (h) of this
AD that are specified in Part 1 and Part 2 of the Accomplishment
Instructions of ASB 737-53A1267, R1, for the repaired area only; all
other inspections required by paragraph (h) of this AD must be done,
except as provided by paragraph (i)(1) of this AD.

(j) Exceptions to Service Information

    (1) Where paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of ASB 737-53A1267,
R1, specifies a compliance time ``after the Revision 1 date of this
service bulletin,'' this AD requires compliance within the specified
compliance time after the effective date of this AD.
    (2) Although ASB 737-53A1267, R1, specifies to contact Boeing
for appropriate action, and specifies that action as ``RC''
(Required for Compliance), this AD requires repair before further
flight using a method approved in accordance with the procedures
specified in paragraph (k) of this AD.

(k) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office
(ACO), FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if
requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance
with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or
local Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (l) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Los Angeles ACO, to make those findings. To be approved,
the repair method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation
must meet the certification basis of the airplane and the approval
must specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2007-26-04 are approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of this AD.
    (5) Except as required by paragraph (j)(2) of this AD: For
service information that contains steps that are labeled as RC, the
provisions of paragraphs (k)(5)(i) and (k)(5)(ii) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-69044; File No. SR-ICEEU-2013-03]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Europe Limited; Notice
of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule
Change Relating to Clearing of Foreign Exchange Transactions

March 5, 2013.
    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 February 28, 2013, ICE Clear Europe Limited (``ICE Clear Europe'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared primarily by ICE Clear Europe. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons and to approve the proposed rule change on an
accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to implement new Part 17
of ICE Clear Europe's Rules, new FX Procedures, and new OTC FX Product
Guide and Published Terms to facilitate the clearing of foreign
exchange (``foreign exchange'' or ``FX'') transactions, initially non-
deliverable FX forward transactions.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, ICE Clear Europe 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 III below. ICE Clear Europe has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant
aspects of these statements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by ICE Clear Europe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    ICE Clear Europe submits new Part 17 of its Rules, new FX
Procedures and new OTC FX Product Guide and Published Terms to
facilitate the clearing of foreign exchange transactions, initially
non-deliverable FX forward transactions. The other proposed changes in
the Rules reflect conforming changes to definitions and related
provisions and other drafting clarifications, and do not affect the
substance of the Rules.
    The amendments adopt a new Part 17 of the Rules, which provides for
the basic terms and conditions on which foreign exchange transactions
will be cleared. Initially, ICE Clear Europe proposes to clear a series
of contracts that are non-deliverable forward (``NDF'') transactions in
the following currency pairs: USD/Brazilian Real, USD/Korean Won, USD/
China Yuan, USD/Indian Rupee, USD/Indonesian Rupiah, USD/Chilean Peso
and USD/Russian Ruble. The contract specifications for the cleared NDF
transactions are set forth in the new FX Procedures and related OTC FX
Product Guide and Published Terms.
    The amendments also provide for the establishment of a separate
guaranty fund for FX transactions (including a separate assessment
right applicable to Clearing Members that clear FX transactions (``FX
Clearing Members'')), to be applied to losses resulting from the
default of an FX Clearing Member. ICE Clear Europe will also have a
limited right of assessment, as set forth in Part 11 of the ICE Clear
Europe Rules, against non-defaulting FX Clearing Members in an amount
up to two times their required FX guaranty fund contribution as in
effect prior to the relevant default.
    Specifically, Rule 1701 sets forth definitions related to the
clearing of FX Contracts. Rule 1702 addresses the determination of
settlement prices for FX Contracts. Rule 1703 provides for the payment
of interest on mark-to-market margin for FX Contracts. Rule 1704
provides for the separate treatment of reference currency buyer and
seller positions for each category of proprietary or customer account.
New Rule 1705 addresses the settlement of FX contracts. Rules 1706 and
1707 establish an FX default committee to address defaults by FX
Clearing Members and default related policies and procedures. Rule 1708
addresses permitted use of certain FX-related data. Rule 1709
establishes certain requirements for guarantors of FX Clearing Members.
Rule 1710 sets out procedures for the termination of FX clearing
membership.
    Conforming and related amendments are also proposed to other parts
of the ICE Clear Europe Rules, including changes to definitions in Part
1 of the ICE Clear Europe Rules. Part 2 of the Rules has been amended
to address the inclusion of FX Clearing Members (including provisions
relating to the termination of FX Clearing Member status). Proposed
amendments to Parts 3 and 4 of the Rules contain various conforming and
clarifying changes, and Rule 406 contains special rules relating to the
netting of FX Contracts. Part 5 of the Rules has been amended to
address margin for FX Contracts. Part 9 of the Rules has been revised
to address defaults of FX Clearing Members and close-out of FX
Contracts on default, in addition to various clarifying changes. Part
11 of the Rules has been amended to reflect the creation of a separate
FX guaranty fund and to provide for contributions to and use of the FX
guaranty fund in various default scenarios. Revised Part 11 also
addresses ICE Clear Europe's power of assessment of additional FX
guaranty fund contributions from FX Clearing Members.
    ICE Clear Europe is also adopting a set of FX Procedures, which
address certain additional issues for FX Contracts and FX Clearing
Members, including (i) additional membership standards for FX Clearing
Members (beyond those set out generally in the Rules), (ii) procedures
for submission and acceptance of FX Contracts for clearing, (iii)
provision of FX Contract pricing data by FX Clearing Members to ICE
Clear Europe, (iv) settlement procedures for FX Contracts, (v)
determination of market prices for FX Contracts and interest on mark-
to-market margin and (vi) FX default committee procedures. The contract
specifications and terms for FX Contracts are set out in the FX
Procedures together with the OTC FX Product Guide and Published Terms
for FX Contracts.
    As part of the rule change, ICE Clear Europe will establish a
separate FX Risk Committee with up to 15 members, including up to 10
representatives from clearing members of ICE Clear Europe.
    ICE Clear Europe believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of the

Act \4\ and the regulations thereunder applicable to it. The rule
amendments will provide for clearing of an additional class of contract
and thereby promote the prompt and accurate clearance of transactions
and the protection of investors and the public interests. The proposed
amendments do not impact ICE Clear Europe's financial resources devoted
to its security-based swap related (i.e., credit default swap) clearing
business. In particular, ICE Clear Europe notes that it has established
three separate mutualized guaranty funds, one for energy products, one
for credit default swaps, and one for foreign exchange swaps.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    ICE Clear Europe does not believe the proposed rule change would
have any impact, or impose any burden, on competition.

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

    Written comments relating to the proposed change have been
solicited, but no comments have been received to date. ICE Clear Europe
will notify the Commission of any written comments received by ICE
Clear Europe.

III. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

and should be submitted on or before April 2, 2013.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change

    Section 19(b) of the Act \5\ directs the Commission to approve a
proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that
such proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such
organization. The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the Act, in particular the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act,\6\ and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to ICE Clear Europe. Specifically,
the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act,\7\ which requires, among other things,
that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt
and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and,
to the extent applicable, derivative agreements, contracts, and
transactions. The proposed rule change is designed to permit ICE Clear
Europe to clear promptly and accurately foreign exchange transactions,
beginning with non-deliverable FX forward transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1. In approving this proposed rule change, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its filing, ICE Clear Europe requested that the Commission
approve the proposed rule change on an accelerated basis for good cause
shown. The Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of
the Act,\8\ for approving the proposed rule change prior to the 30th
day after the date of publication of notice of filing in the Federal
Register because the proposed rule change implements new rules,
procedures, and other provisions related to the clearing of products
that are swaps subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (``CFTC'').\9\ ICE Clear Europe has represented that the
proposed rule change does not affect ICE Clear Europe's security-based
swap clearing activities. The proposed rule and procedure changes have
been submitted to the CFTC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \9\ See e.g., Further Definition of ``Swap,'' ``Security-Based
Swap,'' and ``Security-Based Swap Agreement''; Mixed Swaps;

2012) (Joint Final Rule with the CFTC) defining non-deliverable
forward contracts involving foreign exchange as swaps under Section
1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\10\ that the proposed rule change (SR-ICEEU-2013-03) be, and
hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis.

determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, 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. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and

technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it revokes the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Glass Ranch Airport, Carrizo Springs, TX, due to the
cancellation of the instrument procedures and closure of the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 62760; November 12, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-0976
to amend the Class E airspace at Glass Ranch Airport, Carrizo Spring,
TX. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 removes Glass Ranch Airport,
Carrizo Spring, TX, and the associated airspace from the airspace legal
description; updates the header to ``Carrizo Springs, TX'' (previously
Carrizo Springs, Glass Ranch Airport, TX) to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database; removes the city associated with the airports in
the airspace legal description to comply with changes to FAA Order JO
7400.2N, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; and updates the
geographic coordinates of Indio-Faith Airport, Carrizo Springs, TX, to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is necessary due to the cancellation of the instrument
procedures and closure of the Glass Ranch Airport.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
