33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2017-1015]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; China Basin, Mission Creek, San
Francisco, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to temporarily modify the operating
schedule that governs the 3rd Street Bridge, across China Basin,
Mission Creek, mile 0.0, at San Francisco, California. This action is
necessary to allow the bridge owner, the City of San Francisco, to keep
the drawspan in the closed-to-navigation position in order to conduct
critical mechanical and structural rehabilitation over an estimated 18
month period, scheduled to commence in February 2018. The temporary
change to the regulations is expected to meet the reasonable needs of
navigation on the waterway. We invite your comments on this proposed
rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before December 14, 2017.

ADDRESSES:  You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2017-1015 using Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below for
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed
rule, call or email Carl T. Hausner, Chief, Bridge Section, Eleventh
Coast Guard District; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Advance, Supplemental)
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On October 20, 2017, the City of San Francisco submitted a request
to the Coast Guard to temporarily change the drawbridge operating
schedule for the 3rd Street Bridge.
    The 3rd St Bridge at mile 0.0, across China Basin, Mission Creek,
at the City of San Francisco, California, has a vertical clearance of 3
feet at mean high water and 8 feet at mean low water. The waterway
users are recreational, law enforcement, and search and rescue.
    The purpose of this proposed temporary rule is to allow the bridge
owner to conduct critical mechanical and structural rehabilitation of
the bridge. It is reported that the bridge is not structurally
deficient; however, clear evidence of damaged and buckled steel members
and other damage to the bridge and the trunnion mechanism have been
identified. Without preventative maintenance, the damage will worsen
and ultimately compromise the structural integrity of the bridge. The
work will include blast cleaning and painting structural steel,
replacing the bridge deck, repairing the fender systems, repairing the
concrete counter weight, coating steel piles to inhibit corrosion, and
repairing the bridge endlocks.
    The existing regulations in 33 CFR 117.149 require the bridge to
open on signal if at least one hour notice is given.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to change the drawbridge operation
regulations in 33 CFR 117.149 by temporarily modifying the regulation
for the draw of the 3rd Street bridge. This proposed change will allow
the bridge owner to secure the bridge in the closed-to-navigation
position in order to conduct critical rehabilitation work on the
bridge.
    China Basin, Mission Creek, is 0.64 miles in length with the 3rd
Street Bridge at the mouth of the basin. Approximately 35 vessels are
moored upstream of the bridge and require the drawspan to open in order
to depart the basin into San Francisco Bay. The City of San Francisco
has indicated that they will assist vessel owners in China Basin,
Mission Creek, and find alternate moorings during the closure period.
Vessels able to transit the bridge, while in the closed-to-navigation
position, can continue to do so during the closure period.
    There are no alternative routes into China Basin, Mission Creek.
    In the event of an emergency, the bridge operator can open on
signal if at least 45 days advance notice is given.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on these statutes and Executive Orders and we discuss
First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the limited number
of vessels impacted and the ability of those vessel owners, located
upstream of the bridge, to receive assistance from the City of San
Francisco in finding alternate moorings while the bridge is in the
closed-to-navigation position. In addition, rehabilitation of the
bridge is

needed to ensure the safety and continued operation of the drawspan. We
believe that the proposed rule, in keeping the drawspan in the closed-
to-navigation position during the bridge's rehabilitation, would meet
the reasonable needs of present and future navigation on the waterway.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
bridge may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section IV.A
above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact
on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Government

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule simply promulgates
the operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from further review, under paragraph
32(e) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant Instruction M16475.1D. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which

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.

Biologics License Applications (BLAs) Procedures and Requirements

OMB Control Number 0910-0338--Extension

    This information collection supports Agency regulations and
recommendations found in associated guidance pertaining to BLA
procedures and requirements. A BLA is a request for permission to
introduce, or deliver for introduction, a biological product into
interstate commerce (Sec.  601.2 (21 CFR 601.2)). BLAs are regulated
under parts 600 through 680 (21 CFR parts 600 through 680). A BLA is
submitted by any legal person or entity who is engaged in manufacture
or an applicant for a license who takes responsibility for compliance
with product and establishment standards. Interested persons may visit
https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/development-approval-process-cber/biologics-license-applications-bla-process-cber for
additional information, including available Agency resources.
    Regulations in part 601 set forth applicable procedures for the
submission of license application information, including content and
format elements. The regulations also explain requirements for
suspension, revocation, and reissuance of BLAs and communicate
procedures for requesting a hearing. Additionally, the information
collection includes the submission of manufacturing change information
governed by section 506A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 356a), as well as postmarketing reports for
approved human drugs and licensed biological products governed by
section 506B of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 356b). Finally, regulations in
parts 610 through 680 establish both general and specific biological
product standards.
    To implement these provisions, we have developed the following
collection instruments:
1. Forms
    Form FDA 356h, Application to Market a New or Abbreviated New Drug
or Biologic for Human Use, provides a uniform format for submitting
BLAs. Form FDA 356h is a fillable PDF form that may be submitted
through our Electronic Submission Gateway (ESG), for which respondents
must create and maintain a user account. Utilizing Form FDA 356h helps
to ensure that an application is complete and contains all the
necessary information, so that delays due to lack of information may be
avoided. In addition, the form provides key information to FDA for
efficient handling and distribution to the appropriate staff for
review. We have recently made minor updates to Form FDA 356h resulting
from the October 3, 2022, reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User
Fee Act. In this collection we account for BLAs submitted using Form
FDA 356h.
    Form FDA 2252, Transmittal of Annual Report for Drugs and Biologics
for Human Use, is used by an applicant of a licensed biological product
to submit annual reports required by Sec.  601.70(b) (21 CFR
601.70(b)). Form FDA 2252 is also a fillable PDF form and approved in
OMB control number 0910-0001; however, in this information collection
we account for submissions pertaining to biological products.
    Form FDA 2253, Transmittal of Advertisements and Promotional
Labeling for Drugs and Biologics for Human Use, was developed for use
by respondents to transmit specimens of advertisements and promotional
labeling (e.g., circulars, package labels, container labels, etc.), as
well as labeling changes. The submission of this information is
required by Sec.  601.12 (21 CFR 601.12) for biological products and by
21 CFR 314.81 for drug products. Form FDA 2253 is a fillable PDF form
and is approved for use in OMB control number 0910-0001; however, in
this information collection we account for submissions pertaining to
biological products.
    Form FDA 3674, Certificate of Compliance Under 42 U.S.C.
282(j)(5)(B), with Requirements of ClinicalTrials.gov Data Bank, was
developed for use by respondents to certify submissions as required by
section 402(j)(5)(B) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act and is
submitted through our ESG. Form FDA 3674 is a fillable PDF form and is
approved for use in OMB control number 0910-0616; however, in this
information collection we account for submissions pertaining to
biological products.
2. Cover Sheets
    As provided for under Sec.  601.2(a), we also utilize cover sheets,
so denoted for purposes of identifying specific content information
within a given application.
3. Guidance Documents
    The guidance document ``Cooperative Manufacturing Arrangements for
Licensed Biologics,'' (November 2008), available at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/cooperative-manufacturing-arrangements-licensed-biologics, discusses
strategies for meeting an increased need for flexible manufacturing
arrangements. Since cooperative manufacturing arrangements can take a
considerable amount of time to develop, the guidance is intended to be
useful for planning purposes in the early phases of product
development. Many companies that perform only limited aspects of
manufacturing processes are interested in sharing or contracting parts
of manufacturing to facilitate product development and manufacturing
flexibility. The guidance discusses recommended communication between

licensed manufacturers and contract manufacturers regarding changes to
production and facilities, results of tests and investigations
regarding the product, types of products manufactured in the contract
facility, and standard operating procedures. We believe that the
information collection provisions in the guidance do not create a new
burden for respondents. We believe the reporting and recordkeeping
provisions are part of usual and customary business practices.
    All Agency guidance documents issued are consistent with our good
guidance practice regulations in 21 CFR 10.115, which provide for
public comment at any time. We maintain a searchable database of our
guidance documents at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents.
    Respondents to this collection of information are licensed
manufacturers of biological products. Based on the number of 2021
fiscal year application submissions, we estimate there are 371 such
respondents. The total annual responses are based on the number of
submissions (i.e., license applications, labeling and other
supplements, protocols, advertising and promotional labeling,
notifications) for a particular product received annually by FDA. The
hours per response are based on informal communications with industry
and our experience with the information collection.
    In the Federal Register of November 1, 2022 (87 FR 65776) we
published a 60-day notice soliciting comment on the proposed collection
of information. No comments were received.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Drought Management Team (DMT) established as a result of the 2002
drought. The DMT is comprised of state and federal resource agencies,
Progress Energy, Duke Energy and High Rock Lake Association. On August

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State

the State of Indiana.

amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and
administrative expenses.

supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Other Needs Assistance under section 408 will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.

[Release No. 34-53361; File No. SR-PCX-2006-13]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Pacific Exchange, Inc; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
its Fees and Charges

February 24, 2006.
    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 14, 2006, the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The PCX
filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of
the Act,\3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\ which renders the
proposal effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The PCX proposes to amend its Schedule of Fees and Charges for
Exchange Services in order to eliminate the royalty fee that the
Exchange assesses on options contracts traded on the NASDAQ 100
Tracking Index (``QQQQ''). The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the PCX's Web site (http://www.pacificex.com), at the

PCX's Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission's Public Reference
Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to eliminate the
royalty fee that the Exchange assesses on options contracts that have
as their underlying symbol QQQQ. The PCX presently charges Market
Makers, broker dealers, and OTP Firms $0.05 per contract side when
trading QQQQ options. In an effort to reduce costs associated with
trading on the PCX, the Exchange proposes to eliminate this fee. By
offering reduced fees, the PCX hopes to attract additional order flow
and encourage more trading by market participants in QQQQ options. The
PCX plans to implement the fee change on February 27, 2006.
2. Statutory Basis
    The PCX believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it is designed to
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members and issuers and other persons using its
facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

    Written comments on the proposed rule change were neither solicited
nor received.

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

    The foregoing rule change establishes or changes a due, fee, or
other charge applicable only to a member imposed by the Exchange, and,
therefore, has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of
the Act \7\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\8\ At any
time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).

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

240.15Ba2-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange
Act'') (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.)
    Rule 15Ba2-1 provides that an application for registration with the
Commission by a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form
MSD (17 CFR 249.1100). The Commission uses the information contained in
Form MSD to determine whether bank municipal securities dealers meet
the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act, to
develop a central registry where members of the public may obtain
information about particular bank municipal securities dealers, and to
develop statistical information about bank municipal securities
dealers.
    Based upon past submissions, the staff estimates that approximately
41 respondents will utilize this application procedure annually. The
staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary to comply
with the requirements of Rule 15Ba2-1 is 1.5 hours per respondent, for
a total burden of 61.5 hours. The average cost per hour is
approximately $67. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for the
respondents is approximately $4,120.
    Rule 15Ba2-1 does not contain an explicit recordkeeping
requirement, but the rule does require the prompt correction of any
information on Form MSD that becomes inaccurate, meaning that bank
municipal securities dealers need to maintain a current copy of Form
MSD indefinitely. Providing the information on the application is
mandatory in order to register with the Commission as a bank municipal
securities dealer. The information contained in the application will
not be kept confidential. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid control number.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0447, SEC File No. 270-392]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 17f-6

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously approved collection of
information discussed below.
    Rule 17f-6 (17 CFR 270.17f-6) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a) permits registered investment companies
(``funds'') to maintain assets (i.e., margin) with futures commission
merchants (``FCMs'') in connection with commodity transactions effected
on both domestic and foreign exchanges. Before the rule was adopted,
funds generally were required to maintain such assets in special
accounts with a custodian bank.
    The rule requires a written contract that contains certain
provisions designed to ensure important safeguards and other benefits
relating to the custody of fund assets by FCMs. To protect fund assets,
the contract must require that FCMs comply with the segregation or
secured amount requirements of the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') and
the rules under that statute. The contract also must contain a
requirement that FCMs obtain an acknowledgment from any clearing
organization that the fund's assets are held on behalf of the FCM's
customers according to CEA provisions.
    Because rule 17f-6 does not impose any ongoing obligations on funds
or FCMs, Commission staff estimates there are no costs related to
existing contracts between funds and FCMs. This estimate does not
include the time required by an FCM to comply with the rule's contract
requirements because, to the extent that complying with the contract
provisions could be considered ``collections of information,'' the
burden hours for compliance are already included in other PRA
submissions.\1\ Commission staff estimates that approximately 1,302
series of 155 funds which report that futures commission merchants and
commodity clearing organizations provide custodial services to the
fund.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The rule requires a contract with the FCM to contain two
provisions requiring the FCM to comply with existing requirements
under the CEA and rules adopted thereunder. Thus, to the extent
these provisions could be considered collections of information, the
hours required for compliance would be included in the collection of
information burden hours submitted by the CFTC for its rules.
    \2\ This estimate is based on the number of funds that reported
on Form N-CEN from July 31, 2020- July 31, 2021, in response to sub-
items C.12.6. and D.14.6. Money market funds are excluded from this
estimate because they are not eligible securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commission staff, however, estimates that any burden of the rule
would be borne by funds and FCMs entering into new contracts pursuant
to the rule as set forth in Table 1 below:

                     Table 1--Burden of Information Collection for Complying With Rule 17f-6

                                    15 funds \1\.........  15 funds x 1 hour = 15      15 hours x $425

                                                           13 hours + 15 hours = 28    $5,525 + $6,375 =
                                                            hours \3\.                  $11,900.
    Totals........................  130 series and 15      28 hours annually.........  $11,900 annually.
                                     funds annually \2\.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ These estimates are based on the assumption that 10% of series and funds that currently effect commodities
  transactions enter into new FCM contracts each year. This assumption encompasses series and fund that enter
  into FCM contracts for the first time, as well as fund complexes and fund that change the FCM with whom they
  maintain margin accounts for commodities transactions.
\2\ Commission staff estimates that approximately 155 funds, representing 1,302 separate fund series, currently
  effect commodities transactions and could deposit margin with FCMs in connection with those transactions
  pursuant to rule 17f-6. Staff further estimates that of this number, 15 funds and 130 series enter into new
  contracts with FCMs each year.

\3\ Based on conversations with fund representatives, Commission staff understands that funds typically enter
  into contracts with FCMs on behalf of series that engage in commodities transactions. Series covered by the
  contract are typically listed in an attachment, which may be amended to encompass new series. Commission staff
  estimates that the burden for a fund to enter into a contract with an FCM that contains the contract
  requirements of rule 17f-6 is one hour, and further estimates that the burden to add a series to an existing
  contract between a fund and an FCM is 6 minutes.
\4\ The $425 per hour figure for an attorney is from SIFMA's Management & Professional Earnings in the
  Securities Industry 2013, updated for 2021 modified by Commission staff to account for an 1,800-hour work-year
  and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.

    These estimates are made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a
representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules and
forms.
    The collections of information requirements of the rule are
necessary to obtain the benefit of relying on the rule. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control
number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following website, www.reginfo.gov.
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0360; Directorate Identifier 2010-CE-061-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Univair Aircraft Corporation Models
(ERCO) 415-C, 415-CD, 415-D, E, G; (Forney) F-1 and F-1A; (Alon) A-2
and A2-A; and (Mooney) M10 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) that applies to Univair Aircraft Corporation Models (ERCO) 415-C,
415-CD, 415-D, E, G; (Forney) F-1 and F-1A; (Alon) A-2 and A2-A; and
(Mooney) M10 Airplanes. The existing AD currently requires an
inspection of the aileron balance assembly and ailerons for cracks and
excessive looseness of associated parts with the required repair or
replacement of defective parts as necessary. Since we issued that AD,
we received a report of a Univair Aircraft Corporation Model ERCO 415-D
Ercoupe that crashed after an in-flight breakup due to possible aileron
flutter. This proposed AD would add airplanes to the Applicability
section and require inspections of the ailerons, inspections of the
aileron balance assembly and aileron rigging for looseness or wear with
a required repair or replacement of parts as necessary, and a reporting
of the inspection results. We are issuing this proposed AD to prevent
failure of the aileron assembly and associated parts, which could
result in loss of control.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 31, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2011-0360;
Directorate Identifier 2010-CE-061-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We issued AD 52-02-02 (21 FR 9447, December 4, 1956) for Ercoupe
Model 415 Series and Models E and G Airplanes. That AD requires an
initial and repetitive inspection of the aileron balance assembly,
including the aileron hinges, screws and control system, the ailerons
for cracks in support structure and skin, and the repair or replacement
of damaged parts. That AD resulted from several Ercoupe accidents. We
issued that AD as a precautionary measure.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 52-02-02, we received a report of a Univair
Aircraft Corporation Model ERCO 415-D Ercoupe that crashed after an in-
flight breakup. Witnesses of the accident noted that while the airplane
was banking both ailerons were ``fluttering'' at a high frequency, and
as the bank angle of the airplane increased to almost 90 degrees, the
left wing of the airplane ``folded back'' and separated from the
fuselage. We have received nine other documented cases of structural
failures of the wing and associated components of the airframe.
    There are several Univair airplane models that have similar type
design to that of above-referenced incidents, are not part of the
compliance of AD 52-02-02, and should be subjected to the requirements
of AD 52-02-02.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Ercoupe Service Memorandum Nos. 35, 56, and 57 (all not
dated). The Ercoupe Service Memorandum No. 35 describes procedures for
use in rigging or making adjustments to the rigging. The Ercoupe
Service Memorandum No. 56 describes procedures for the inspection of
control surfaces for cracks and excessive play and checking controls
for excessive movement. The Ercoupe Service Memorandum No. 57 describes
procedures for aileron balance weight inspection and removal.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would add airplanes to the Applicability section
of AD 52-02-02 and require inspections of the ailerons, add airplanes
to the Applicability section, add repetitive inspections of the aileron
bell crank and

the ailerons for looseness or wear with a repair or replacement of
parts as necessary, and add the requirement to report the inspection
results.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 2,600 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with the proposed
AD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                               Total cost per     Total cost on

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

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
for the flight control system that would be required based on the
results of the proposed inspection. We have no way of determining the
number of airplanes that may need this replacement:

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

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing airworthiness directive (AD)
52-02-02, (21 FR 9447, December 4, 1956), and adding the following new
AD:

Univair Aircraft Corporation: Docket No. FAA-2011-0360; Directorate
Identifier 2010-CE-061-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD action by
May 31, 2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 52-02-02 (21 FR 9447, December 4,
1956).

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Univair Aircraft Corporation Models
(ERCO) 415-C, 415-CD, 415-D, E, G; (Forney) F-1 and F-1A; (Alon) A-2
and A2-A; and (Mooney) M10 airplanes, all serial numbers, that are
certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport
Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight Controls.

Unsafe Condition

    (e) This AD was prompted by a Univair Aircraft Corporation Model
ERCO 415-D Ercoupe that crashed after an in-flight breakup due to
possible aileron flutter. We are issuing this AD to add airplanes to
the Applicability section and require inspections of the ailerons,
inspections of the aileron balance assembly and aileron rigging for
looseness or wear with a required repair or replacement of parts as
necessary, and a reporting of the inspection results.

Compliance

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