[Project No. 14837-000]

Advanced Hydropower, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On January 24, 2017, Advanced Hydropower, Inc. filed an application
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power
Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the McNary Dam
Advanced Hydropower Project (project) to be located at U.S. Corps of
Engineer's (Corps) McNary Dam near Plymouth in Benton County,
Washington and Umatilla in Umatilla County, Oregon. The purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority
to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-
disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by
others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would use the Corps' existing spillway bays 1
and 2 at the McNary Dam, and would consist of the following new
facilities: (1) A 110-foot-wide, 440-foot-high intake channel with
gates and trash racks from the existing spillway bays 1 and 2 of the
McNary Dam spillway; (2) a 38-foot-wide, 40-foot-high, 50-foot-long
concrete penstock; (3) a 49-megawatt Alden turbine; (4) a draft tube
discharging flows to the existing tailrace; (5) a 1.5-mile-long, 13.8-
or 23-kilovolt transmission line interconnecting with the existing
McNary Dam switchyard; and (6) appurtenant facilities.\1\ The estimated
annual generation of the project would be 190 gigawatt-hours.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In a letter filed on April 11, 2017, the Corps states it
believes the Commission lacks jurisdiction over hydropower
development at the McNary Dam. However, the Corps also states it
does not oppose the issuance of a preliminary permit on operational
grounds despite noting several potential concerns with the proposal.

preliminary permit application following Corps' February 8, 2016
comments opposing the project) and Loxbridge Partners, LLC, 156 FERC

    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in any of the above
proceedings must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need

not be served on persons other than the Applicant.

facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulation, see 5 CFR
1320.8(d), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) how to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
    (iv) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g. permitting electronic
submission of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following collection of information:
    Title: Defect and Noncompliance Reporting and Notification.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0004.
    Affected Public: Businesses or individuals.
    Abstract: This notice requests comment on NHTSA's proposed
extension to approved collection of information OMB No. 2127-0004. This
collection covers the information collection requirements found within
various statutory sections in the Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966
(Act), 49 U.S.C. 30101, et seq., that address and require manufacturer
notifications to NHTSA of safety-related defects and failures to comply
with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) in motor vehicles
and motor vehicle equipment, as well as the provision of particular
information related to the ensuing owner and dealers notifications and
free remedy campaigns that follow those notifications. The sections of
the Act imposing these requirements include 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30119,
30120, and 30166. Many of these requirements are implemented through,
and addressed with more specificity in, 49

CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports (Part
573) and 49 CFR part 577, Defect and Noncompliance Notification.
    Pursuant to the Act, motor vehicle and motor vehicle equipment
manufacturers are obligated to notify, and then provide various
information and documents, to NHTSA in the event a safety defect or
noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) is
identified in products they manufactured. See 49 U.S.C. 30118(b) and 49
CFR 573.6 (requiring manufacturers to notify NHTSA, and provide certain
information, when they learn of a safety defect or noncompliance).
Manufacturers are further required to notify owners, purchasers,
dealers and distributors about the safety defect or noncompliance. See
49 U.S.C. 30118(b), 30120(a), and 49 CFR 577.7, 577.13. They are
required to provide to NHTSA copies of communications pertaining to
recall campaigns that they issue to owners, purchasers, dealers, and
distributors. See 49 U.S.C. 30166(f) and 49 CFR 573.6(c)(10).
    Manufacturers are also required to file with NHTSA a plan
explaining how they intend to reimburse owners and purchasers who paid
to have their products remedied before being notified of the safety
defect or noncompliance, and explain that plan in the notifications
they issue to owners and purchasers about the safety defect or
noncompliance. See 49 U.S.C. 30120(d) and 49 CFR 573.13. They are
further required to keep lists of the respective owners, purchasers,
dealers, distributors, lessors, and lessees of the products determined
to be defective or noncompliant and involved in a recall campaign, and
are required to provide NHTSA with a minimum of six quarterly reports
reporting on the progress of their recall campaigns. See 49 CFR 573.8
and 573.7, respectively.
    The Act and Part 573 also contain numerous information collection
requirements specific to tire recall and remedy campaigns. These
requirements relate to the proper disposal of recalled tires, including
a requirement that the manufacturer conducting the tire recall submit a
plan and provide specific instructions to certain persons (such as
dealers and distributors) addressing that disposal, and a requirement
that those persons report back to the manufacturer certain deviations
from the plan. See 49 U.S.C. 30120(d) and 49 CFR 573.6(c)(9). They also
require the reporting to NHTSA of intentional and knowing sales or
leases of defective or noncompliant tires.
    49 U.S.C. 30166(n), and its implementing regulation found at 49 CFR
573.10, mandates that anyone who knowingly and willfully sells or
leases for use on a motor vehicle a defective tire or a tire that is
not compliant with FMVSS, and with actual knowledge that the tire
manufacturer has notified its dealers of the defect or noncompliance as
required under the Act, is required to report that sale or lease to
NHTSA no more than five working days after the person to whom the tire
was sold or leased takes possession of it.
    Estimated Burden: The approved information collection associated
with 49 CFR part 573 and portions of 49 CFR part 577 presently holds an
estimated annual burden of 46,138 hours associated with an estimated
280 respondents per year. For information concerning how we calculated
these estimates please see the Federal Register Notices 78 FR 51381
(August 20, 2013).
    Our prior estimates of the number of manufacturers each year that
would be required to provide information under 49 CFR part 573, the
number of recalls for which 49 CFR part 573 information collection
requirements would need to be met, and the number of burden hours
associated with the requirements currently covered by this information
collection require adjustment as explained below.
    Based on current information, we now estimate 275 distinct
manufacturers filing an average of 854 Part 573 Safety Recall Reports
each year. This is a change from our previous estimate of 680 Part 573
Safety Recall Reports filed by 280 manufacturers each year.
    We continue to estimate that it takes a manufacturer an average of
4 hours to complete each notification report to NHTSA and that
maintenance of the required owner, purchaser, dealer, and distributors
lists requires 8 hours a year per manufacturer. Accordingly, the
subtotal estimate of annual burden hours related to the reporting to
NHTSA of a safety defect or noncompliance and maintenance of owner and
purchaser lists is 5,616 hours annually ((854 notices x 4 hours/report)
+ (275 MFRs x 8 hours)).
    In addition, we continue to estimate an additional 2 hours will be
needed to add to a manufacturer's Part 573 Safety Recall Report details
relating to the intended schedule for notifying its dealers and
distributors, and tailoring its notifications to dealers and
distributors in accordance with the requirements of 49 CFR 577.13. This
would total to an estimated 1,708 hours annually (854 notices x 2
hours/report).
    49 U.S.C. 30166(f) requires vehicle manufacturers to provide to the
Agency copies of all communications regarding defects and
noncompliances sent to owners, purchasers, and dealerships.
Manufactures must index these communications by the year, make, and
model of the vehicle as well as provide a concise summary of the
subject of the communication. We estimate this burden requires 30
minutes for each vehicle recall. This would total to an estimated 380
hours annually (760 vehicle recalls x .5 hours).
    In the event a manufacturer supplied the defect or noncompliant
product to independent dealers through independent distributors, that
manufacturer is required to include in its notifications to those
distributors an instruction that the distributors are to then provide
copies of the manufacturer's notification of the defect or
noncompliance to all known distributors or retail outlets further down
the distribution chain within five working days. See 49 CFR
577.7(c)(2)(iv). As a practical matter, this requirement would only
apply to equipment manufacturers since vehicle manufacturers generally
sell and lease vehicles through a dealer network, and not through
independent distributors. We believe our previous estimate of roughly
80 equipment recalls per year needs to be adjusted to 95 equipment
recalls per year to better reflect recent recall figures. Although the
distributors are not technically under any regulatory requirement to
follow that instruction, we expect that they will, and have estimated
the burden associated with these notifications (identifying retail
outlets, making copies of the manufacturer's notice, and mailing) to be
5 hours per recall campaign. Assuming an average of 3 distributors per
equipment item, (which is a liberal estimate given that many equipment
manufacturers do not use independent distributors) the total number of
burden hours associated with this third party notification burden is
approximately 1,425 hours per year (95 recalls x 3 distributors x 5
hours).
    As for the burden linked with a manufacturer's preparation of and
notification concerning its reimbursement for pre-notification
remedies, we continue to estimate that preparing a plan for
reimbursement takes approximately 8 hours annually, and that an
additional 2 hours per year is spent tailoring the plan to particular
defect and noncompliance notifications to NHTSA and adding tailored
language about the plan to a particular safety recall's owner
notification letters. In sum, these required activities add an

additional 3,908 annual burden hours ((275 manufacturers x 8 hours) +
(854 recalls x 2 hours)).
    The Safety Act and 49 CFR part 573 also contain numerous
information collection requirements specific to tire recall and remedy
campaigns, as well as a statutory and regulatory reporting requirement
that anyone who knowingly and intentionally sells or leases a defective
or noncompliant tire notify NHTSA of that activity.
    Manufacturers are required to include specific information related
to tire disposal in the notifications they provide NHTSA concerning
identification of a safety defect or noncompliance with FMVSS in their
tires, as well as in the notifications they issue to their dealers or
other tire outlets participating in the recall campaign. See 49 CFR
573.6(c)(9). We now estimate that the Agency administers 12 tire
recalls each year, on average, revised down from our previous estimate
of 15 tire recall each year. We estimate that the inclusion of this
additional information will require an additional two hours of effort
beyond the subtotal above associated with non-tire recall campaigns.
This additional effort consists of one hour for the NHTSA notification
and one hour for the dealer notification for a total of 24 burden hours
(12 tire recalls a year x 2 hours per recall).
    Manufacturer owned or controlled dealers are required to notify the
manufacturer and provide certain information should they deviate from
the manufacturer's disposal plan. Consistent with our previous
analysis, we continue to ascribe zero burden hours to this requirement
since to date no such reports have been provided and our original
expectation that dealers would comply with manufacturers' plans has
proven true.
    Accordingly, we estimate 24 burden hours a year will be spent
complying with the tire recall campaign requirements found in 49 CFR
573.6(c)(9).
    Additionally, because the agency has yet to receive a single report
of a defective or noncompliant tire being intentionally sold or leased,
our previous estimate of zero burden hours remains unchanged with this
notice.
    The previous clearance for this information collection allowed for
start-up costs for the Agency's VIN Look-up system and a new regulation
that required manufacturers to create a VIN Look-up service on their
respective Web sites. As these systems were launched successfully in
August 2014, the start-up estimates for costs and burden will now be
removed. The estimated costs to industry for one-time infrastructure
expenses to create a VIN-based recalls lookup service consisting of 108
hours, and costing a total of $45,000, will now be removed from this
information collection.
    Each manufacturer was also required to establish requirements,
analysis, and designs for their new recalls look-up tools. These
additional burdens stemmed from: The creation of the VIN search
interface; database setup to host the recall information; data refresh
procedures to populate recall information; server side VIN code lookup
and recall status retrieval; integration with existing manufacturer Web
site; and application testing. We estimated these burdens to total
1,332 hours and $130,005 and these costs will now be removed from this
information collection.
    We continue to believe nine vehicle manufacturers, who did not
operate VIN-based recalls lookup systems prior to August 2013, incur
certain recurring burdens on an annual basis. We estimate that 100
burden hours will be spent on system and database administrator
support. These 100 burden hours include: Backup data management and
monitoring; database management, updates, and log management; and data
transfer, archiving, quality assurance, and cleanup procedures. We
estimate another 100 burden hours will be incurred on web/application
developer support. These burdens include: operating system and security
patch management; application/web server management; and application
server system and log files management. We estimate these burdens will
total 1,800 hours each year (9 MFRs x 200 hours). We estimate the
recurring costs of these burden hours will be $30,000 per
manufacturer.\1\ We continue to estimate that the total cost to the
industry from these recurring expenses will total $270,000, on an
annual basis (9MFRs x $30,000).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ $8,000 (for data center hosting for the physical server) +
$12,000 (for system and database administrator support) + $10,000
(for web/application developer support) = $30,000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Agency previously estimated one-time startup costs that
manufacturers would assume in order to meet certain technical access
requirements to provide recall information to NHTSA's Web site. We
estimated that the total one-time costs to the industry from these
technical access requirements would require 1,914 burden hours (27 MFRs
x 72 hours) and total $189,270 (27 MFRs x $7,010) and we are now
removing these costs from this information collection.
    The Agency previously estimated one-time startup costs
manufacturers incurred to create a VIN list for 15 years of recall
information. We estimated that the total one-time costs to the industry
from this VIN list creation would require 1,620 hours (27 MFRs x 60
hours). We are now removing these costs from this information
collection.
    Changes to 49 CFR part 573 in 2013 required 27 manufacturers to
update each recalled vehicle's repair status no less than every 7 days,
for 15 years from the date the VIN is known to be included in the
recall. This ongoing requirement to update the status of a VIN for 15
years continues to add a recurring burden on top of the one-time burden
to implement and operate these online search tools. We calculate that 8
affected motorcycle manufacturers will make recalled VINs available for
an average of 2 recalls each year and 19 affected light vehicle
manufacturers will make recalled VINs available for an average of 8
recalls each year. We believe it will take no more than 1 hour, and
potentially much less with automated systems, to update the VIN status
of vehicles that have been remedied under the manufacturer's remedy
program. We continue to estimate this will require 8,736 burden hours
per year (1 hour x 2 recalls x 52 weeks x 8 MFRs + 1 hour x 8 recalls x
52 weeks x 19 MFRs) to support the requirement to update the recalls
completion status of each VIN in a recall at least weekly for 15 years.
    As the number of Part 573 Recall Reports has increased in recent
years, so has the number of quarterly reports which track the
completion of safety recalls. Our previous estimate of 3,000 quarterly
reports received annually is now revised up to an average of 3,800
reports annually. The quarterly reporting burden now totals 15,200
hours (3,800 quarterly reports x 4 hours/report).
    NHTSA's last update to this information collection established a
new online recalls portal for the submission of recall documents. We
continue to estimate a small burden of 2 hours annually in order to set
up a manufacturer's online recalls portal account with the pertinent
contact information and maintaining/updating their account information
as needed. We estimate this will require a total of 550 hours annually
(2 hours x 275 MFRs).
    Also updated in the last revision to this information collection,
NHTSA established a requirement that manufactures change or update
recall components in their Part 573 Safety

Recall Report. We continue to estimate that 20 percent of Part 573
reports will involve a change or addition. At 30 minutes per amended
report, this totals 86 burden hours per year (854 recalls x .20 = 171
recalls; 171/2 = 86 hours).
    As to the requirement that manufacturers notify NHTSA in the event
of a bankruptcy, we expect this notification to take an estimated 2
hours to draft and submit to NHTSA. We continue to estimate that only
10 manufacturers might submit such a notice to NHTSA each year, so we
calculate the total burden at 20 hours (10 MFRs x 2 hours).
    We continue to estimate that it takes manufacturers an average of 8
hours to draft their notification letters, submit them to NHTSA for
review, and then finalize them for mailing to their affected owners and
purchasers. We estimate that the 49 CFR part 577 requirements result in
6,832 burden hours annually (8 hours per recall x 854 recalls per
year).
    The estimate associated with the regulation which requires owner
notifications within 60 days of filing a Part 573 Safety Recall Report
remains must similarly be revised with an increase in recalls. We
previously calculated that about 25 percent of past recalls did not
include an owner notification mailing within 60 days of the filing of
the Part 573 Safety Recall Report. However, recent trends show that
only about 10 percent of recalls require an interim owner notification
mailing. Under the regulation, manufacturers must send two letters in
these cases: An interim notification of the defect or noncompliance
within 60 days and a supplemental letter notifying owners and
purchasers of the available remedy. Accordingly, we estimate that 680
burden hours are associated with this 60-day interim notification
requirement (854 recalls x .10 = 85 recalls; 85 recalls times 8 hours
per recall = 680 hours).
    As for costs associated with notifying owners and purchasers of
recalls, we continue to estimate this costs $1.50 per first class mail
notification, on average. This cost estimate includes the costs of
printing, mailing, as well as the costs vehicle manufacturers may pay
to third-party vendors to acquire the names and addresses of the
current registered owners from state and territory departments of motor
vehicles. In reviewing recent recall figures, we determined that an
estimated 58.4 million letters are mailed yearly totaling $87,600,000
($1.50 per letter x 58,400,000 letters). The requirement in 49 CFR part
577 for a manufacturer to notify their affected customers within 60
days would add an additional $8,760,000 (58,400,000 letters x .10
requiring interim owner notifications = 5,840,000 letters; 5,840,000 x
$1.50 = $8,760,000). In total we estimate that the current 49 CFR part
577 requirements cost manufacturers a total of $96,360,000 annually
($87,600,000 owner notification letters + $8,760,000 interim
notification letters = $96,360,000).
    Due to the past burdens associated with the requirement that
certain vehicle manufacturers setup VIN Look-up systems for their
recalled vehicles, many burden hours have been removed from this
information collection as these burdens and costs have already
occurred. However, given the recent increase in the number of safety
recalls the Agency administers yearly and the volume of products
included in those recalls, this information collection burden hour
total is increased from previous estimates. The 49 CFR part 573 and 49
CFR part 577 requirements found in today's rule will require 46,965
hours each year for OMB Control Number 2127-0004, an increase of 827
burden hours. Additionally, manufacturers impacted by 49 CFR part 573
and 49 CFR part 577 requirements will incur a recurring annual cost
estimated at $96,630,000 total.
    Estimated Number of Respondents-- NHTSA receives reports of defect
or noncompliance from roughly 275 manufacturers per year. Accordingly,
we estimate that there will be approximately 275 manufacturers per year
filing defect or noncompliance reports and completing the other
information collection responsibilities associated with those filings.
    In summary, we estimate that there will be a total of 275
respondents per year associated with OMB No. 2127-0004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    OSHA is providing notice that Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.
(ITSNA), is applying for expansion of the current recognition as a
NRTL. ITSNA requests the addition of one test standard to the NRTL
scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified in 29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific products covered within the
scope of recognition. Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes: (1)
the type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by the
applicable test standard; and (2) the recognized site(s) that has/have
the technical capability to perform the product-testing and product-
certification activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope.
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority;
however, recognition enables employers to use products approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification.
    The agency processes applications by a NRTL for initial recognition
and for an expansion or renewal of this recognition, following
requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires
that the agency

publish two notices in the Federal Register in processing an
application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the application and
provides a preliminary finding. In the second notice, the agency
provides a final decision on the application. These notices set forth
the NRTL's scope of recognition or modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for each NRTL, including ITSNA,
which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These pages are
available from the OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    ITSNA currently has thirty-five facilities (sites) recognized by
OSHA for product testing and certification, with the headquarters
located at: Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc., 545 East Algonquin
Road, Suite F, Arlington Heights, Illinois 60005. A complete list of
ITSNA's scope of recognition is available at https://www.osha.gov/nationally-recognized-testing-laboratory-program/its.

II. General Background on the Application

    ITSNA submitted an application dated April 5, 2023 (OSHA-2007-0039-
0051), requesting the addition of one test standard to the NRTL scope
of recognition. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did
not perform any on-site reviews in relation to this application.
    Table 1, below, lists the appropriate test standard found in
ITSNA's application for expansion for testing and certification of
products under the NRTL Program.

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

III. Preliminary Findings on the Application

    ITSNA submitted an acceptable application for expansion of the
scope of recognition. OSHA's review of the application files and
pertinent documentation indicates that ITSNA can meet the requirements
prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding the recognition to include
the addition of this one test standard for NRTL testing and
certification listed in Table 1. This preliminary finding does not
constitute an interim or temporary approval of ITSNA's application.
    OSHA seeks comment on this preliminary determination.

IV. Public Participation

    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether ITSNA meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of recognition as a NRTL.
Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and exhibits.
    Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request in
writing, stating the reasons for the request by the due date for
comments. OSHA will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester
justifies a longer time period. OSHA may deny a request for an
extension if it is not adequately justified.
    To review copies of the exhibits identified in this notice, as well
as comments submitted to the docket, contact the Docket Office,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor. These materials also are generally available online at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. OSHA-2007-0039 (for further
information, see the ``Docket'' heading in the section of this notice
titled ADDRESSES).
    OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely manner. After addressing the issues raised by these comments,
staff will make a recommendation to the Assistant Secretary of Labor
for Occupational Safety and Health on whether to grant ITSNA's
application for expansion of the scope of recognition. The Assistant
Secretary will make the final decision on granting the application. In
making this decision, the Assistant Secretary may undertake other
proceedings prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.
    OSHA will publish a public notice of the final decision in the
Federal Register.

V. Authority and Signature

    James S. Frederick, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health, authorized the preparation of this
notice. Accordingly, the agency is issuing this notice pursuant to 29
U.S.C. 657(g)(2), Secretary of Labor's Order No. 8-2020 (85 FR 58393,

[Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0229]

Issuance of Priority Review Voucher; Rare Pediatric Disease
Product

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
issuance of a priority review voucher to the sponsor of a rare
pediatric disease product application. The Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended by the Food and Drug Administration
Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), authorizes FDA to award priority
review vouchers to sponsors of rare pediatric disease product
applications that meet certain criteria. FDA has determined that
Xuriden (uridine triacetate), manufactured by Wellstat Therapeutics
Corp., meets the criteria for a priority review voucher.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry Bauer, Rare Diseases Program,
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration,
10903 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
FAX:<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is announcing the issuance of a priority
review voucher to the sponsor of a rare pediatric disease product
application. Under section 529 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360ff), which
was added by FDASIA, FDA will award priority review vouchers to
sponsors of rare pediatric disease product applications that meet
certain criteria. FDA has determined that Xuriden (uridine triacetate),
manufactured by Wellstat Therapeutics Corp., meets the criteria for a
priority review voucher. Uridine triacetate is a pyrimidine analog for
uridine replacement. Xuriden is indicated for the treatment of
hereditary orotic aciduria. Hereditary orotic aciduria is caused by a
deficiency in the activity of the pyrimidine pathway enzyme uridine 5'-
monophosphate synthase. The disorder is generally characterized by
anemia and/or other hematological manifestations, excessive urinary
excretion of orotic acid, failure to thrive, and developmental delay.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all The Boeing Company
Model MD-11 and MD-11F airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on August 18, 2021 (86 FR 46167). The NPRM was prompted by
reports indicating incidents of wires chafing against the inboard upper
corner of the observer station circuit breaker panel. In the NPRM, the
FAA proposed to require, depending on airplane configuration, doing a
general visual inspection of the right observer station upper main
circuit breaker panel and wiring for certain missing parts; doing an
inspection of the right observer station upper main circuit breaker
panel to determine if a certain bracket part number is installed; doing
a general visual inspection of certain wire assemblies for any damage;
modifying the observer station upper main circuit breaker panel; and
applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
wire chafing and arcing on the panel, which could cause damage to
equipment, and result in loss of electrical power and a possible in-

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from The Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) and Boeing who supported the NPRM without change.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as
proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic
burden on any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-24A204,
Revision 2, dated April 14, 2021. For certain airplanes, this service
information describes procedures for doing a general visual inspection
of the right observer station upper main circuit breaker panel and
wiring for missing installation of sleeving, grommets, and spacers;
doing an inspection of the right observer station upper main circuit
breaker panel to determine if bracket part number SR11240046-11 is
installed; and applicable on-condition actions. On-condition actions
include repairing or replacing damaged wires, installing sleeves and
routing wires, trimming and re-identifying the bracket, and replacing
any missing grommets or spacers.
    For certain other airplanes, this service information describes
procedures for doing a general visual inspection of wire assemblies
ABS9110 and ABS9115 for any damage (i.e., wire chafing, arcing),
modifying the observer station upper main circuit breaker panel, and
applicable on-condition actions. On-condition actions include repairing
or replacing damaged wires.
    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 ADDRESSES.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 118 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.
             Action                    Labor cost         Parts cost      Cost per product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspections.....................  Up to 17 work-hours              $0   Up to $1,445.......  Up to $170,510
                                   x $85 per hour =
                                   up to $1,445.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary actions
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. The FAA
has no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these
actions:

                                              On-Condition Costs *
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Action                           Labor cost            Parts cost         Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replacement, installation and trimming..  Up to 3 work-hours x $85              $428  Up to $683
                                           per hour = up to $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost estimates for the on-condition repairs
  specified in this AD.

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact
on affected operators.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

2021-24-02 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-21823; Docket No. FAA-
2021-0564; Project Identifier AD-2020-01350-T.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective February 1, 2022.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model MD-11 and MD-11F
airplanes, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24, Electrical
power.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports indicating incidents of wires
chafing against the inboard upper corner of the observer station
circuit breaker panel. The FAA is issuing this AD to address wire
chafing and arcing on the panel, which could cause damage to
equipment, and result in loss of electrical power and a possible in-
flight fire.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Required Actions

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: At the
applicable times specified in paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-24A204, Revision 2, dated April
14, 2021, do all applicable actions identified as ``RC'' (required
for compliance) in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-24A204, Revision
2, dated April 14, 2021.

(h) Exception to Service Information Specifications

    Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-24A204, Revision 2,
dated April 14, 2021, uses the phrase ``the Revision 2 date of this
service bulletin,'' this AD requires using ``the effective date of
this AD.''

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Los Angeles ACO Branch, 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 responsible Flight Standards
Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to the
manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of the
person identified in Related Information. Information may be emailed
to: [email protected].
    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the responsible Flight Standards 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 Company Organization Designation
Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Los
Angeles ACO Branch, FAA, 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) For service information that contains steps that are labeled
as Required for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs
(i)(4)(i) and (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.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the

Creek, mile 0.6, between Brooklyn and Queens, New York. This deviation
is necessary to allow the bridge owner to perform span locks adjustment
at the bridge.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 12:01 a.m. on October 3, 2016
to 5 a.m. on October 14, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pulaski Bridge, mile 0.6, across the
Newtown Creek, has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 39
feet at mean high water and 43 feet at mean low water. The existing
bridge operating regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.801(g)(1).
    The waterway is transited by commercial barge traffic of various
sizes.
    The bridge owner, New York City DOT, requested a temporary
deviation from the normal operating schedule to perform span locks
adjustment at the bridge.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Pulaski Bridge shall remain in
the closed position from October 3, 2016 to October 14, 2016 between
12:01 a.m. and 5 a.m.
    Vessels able to pass under the bridge in the closed position may do
so at anytime. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies and
there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass.
    The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterways through our
Local Notice and Broadcast to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessel operations can arrange their
transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation. The
Coast Guard notified known companies of the commercial oil and barge
vessels in the area and they have no objections to the temporary
deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: September 27, 2016.

Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, First Coast Guard District.
