14 CFR Part 25

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0819; Special Conditions No. 25-519-SC]

Special Conditions: Bombardier Inc., Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-
500-1A11 Series Airplanes; Fuselage In-Flight Fire Safety and
Flammability Resistance

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final special conditions.

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

SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for the Bombardier Inc.
Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series airplanes. These airplanes
will have novel or unusual design features when compared to the state
of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport
category airplanes. These features are associated with the materials
used to fabricate the fuselage, which may affect fire propagation
during an in-flight fire. The applicable airworthiness regulations do
not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design
feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety
standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a
level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing
airworthiness standards.

DATES: Effective Date: March 21, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alan Sinclair, FAA, Airframe and Cabin

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 10, 2009, Bombardier Inc. applied for a type
certificate for their new Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A1 series
airplanes (hereafter collectively referred to as ``C-series''). The C-
series airplanes are swept-wing monoplanes with an aluminum alloy
fuselage sized for 5-abreast seating. Passenger capacity is designated
as 110 for the Model BD-500-1A10 and 125 for the Model BD-500-1A11.
Maximum takeoff weight is 131,000 pounds for the Model BD-500-1A10 and
144,000 pounds for the Model BD-500-1A11.
    The Bombardier C-series airplanes will be fabricated using
aluminum-lithium materials. The performance of airplanes consisting of
a conventional aluminum fuselage in an inaccessible in-flight fire
scenario is understood based on service history and extensive
intermediate and large-scale fire testing. The fuselage itself does not
contribute to in-flight fire propagation. This may not be the case for
an all-aluminum-lithium fuselage. Experience has shown that eliminating
the fire propagation of the interior materials and insulation materials
tends to increase survivability since other aspects of in-flight fire
safety (e.g., toxic gas emission and smoke obscuration) are typically
by-products of the propagating fire. The Bombardier C-series airplanes
must provide protection against an in-flight fire propagating along the
surface of the fuselage.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.17, Bombardier Inc. must show that the C-series airplanes meet
the applicable provisions of part 25, as amended by Amendment 25-1
through 25-129 thereto.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR Part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the C-series airplanes because of a
novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed
under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same novel or
unusual design feature, the special conditions would also apply to the
other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the C-series airplanes must comply with the fuel vent and
exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR Part 34 and the noise
certification requirements of 14 CFR Part 36; and the FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under Sec.  611 of Public Law 92-574,
the ``Noise Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of

the type-certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Bombardier C-series airplanes will incorporate the following
novel or unusual design features: The fuselage will be fabricated using
aluminum-lithium materials instead of conventional aluminum. This new
type of material must provide protection against an in-flight fire
propagating along the surface of the fuselage.

Discussion

    The Bombardier C-series airplanes will be fabricated using
aluminum-lithium materials. The performance of airplanes consisting of
a conventional aluminum fuselage in an inaccessible in-flight fire
scenario is understood based on service history and extensive
intermediate and large-scale fire testing. Experience has shown that
eliminating the fire propagation of the interior materials and
insulation materials tends to increase survivability since other
aspects of in-flight fire safety (e.g., toxic gas emission and smoke
obscuration) are typically by-products of the propagating fire. The
fuselage itself does not contribute to in-flight fire propagation. This
may not be the case for an all-aluminum-lithium fuselage.
    In the past, fatal in-flight fires have originated in inaccessible
areas of the airplane where thermal/acoustic insulation located
adjacent to the aluminum airplane skin has been the path for flame
propagation and fire growth. Concern over the fire performance of
thermal/acoustic insulation was initially raised by five incidents in
the 1990's, which revealed unexpected flame spread along the insulation
film that covered the thermal/acoustic insulation. In all cases, the
ignition source was relatively modest and, in most cases, was
electrical in origin (e.g., electrical short circuit, arcing caused by
chafed wiring, ruptured ballast case).
    In 1996, the FAA Technical Center began a program to develop new
fire test criteria for insulation films directly relating to in-flight
fire resistance. The current test standard at that time was evaluated
as well as another small-scale test method that has been used by
airplane manufacturers to evaluate flame propagation on thermal/
acoustic insulation materials.
    An inter-laboratory comparison of these methods revealed a number
of deficiencies. A new test method subjecting a material to a pilot
flame while the material is heated by a radiant panel was developed.
The new radiant panel test method and criteria were specifically
established to improve the evaluation of the in-flight fire ignition/
flame propagation of thermal/acoustic insulation materials based on
real-world fire scenarios. While these tests were developed for
thermal/acoustic insulation materials, this same type of test
methodology can be used to assess the flammability characteristics of
the proposed aluminum-lithium material for the fuselage.
    The FAA reviewed the test method proposed by Bombardier Inc. and
determined that a larger flame and test article would be necessary to
make a determination of the potential flammability of the aluminum-
lithium material. It would also be more representative of a real-life
fire scenario.
    The FAA recently conducted additional testing in our Components
Fire Test facility and determined that another way to assess the
survivability within the cabin of the C-series airplanes is to use the
cargo liner flammability test (part III of appendix F to part 25, Test
Method to Determine Flame Penetration Resistance of Cargo Compartment
Liners). However, the problem with using this particular test is that
when the aluminum panels melt, molten globs of aluminum fall directly
into the burner, which adversely affects the flame. So the FAA decided
that a similar test for the measurement of insulation burnthrough
resistance could be used (part VII of appendix F to part 25, Test
Method to Determine the Burnthrough Resistance of Thermal/Acoustic
Insulation Materials). Although this test method uses the same burner
as the cargo liner test, it uses a slightly larger flame. In addition,
the burner is not vertical, so there was no problem with molten
material falling into it, requiring disassembly of the burner. The only
slight change was the size of the sample and the sample holder. These
were modified slightly to accommodate the samples that we received.
    The recent FAA tests that were conducted in our Components Fire
Test facility used a 6-gallon/hour oil burner, the same apparatus used
to determine burnthrough resistance of thermal/acoustic insulation
(part VII of appendix F to part 25). The test used 16 by 24-inch Al-Li
panels that were installed into a sheet steel subframe, which measured
18 by 32 inches (outside dimensions). The subframe had an opening cut
into it, which measured 14.5 by 22.5 inches; this allowed the test
panels to be mounted onto the subframe using .250-20 UNC threaded
bolts.
    The FAA proposes that Bombardier use the test method contained in
part VII of appendix F to part 25, Test Method to Determine the
Burnthrough Resistance of Thermal/Acoustic Insulation Materials, with
the slight changes to the sample size and sample holder as an alternate
test method to show compliance with applicable requirements. Bombardier
Inc. is responsible for finding a suitable testing facility in which to
conduct the testing.

Discussion of Comments

    Notice of proposed special conditions No. 25-13-06-SC for the
Bombardier C-series airplanes was published in the Federal Register on
October 31, 2013 (78 FR 65231). No comments were received, and the
special conditions are adopted as proposed.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series airplanes. Should Bombardier
Inc. apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to
include another model on the same type certificate incorporating the
same novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would
apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on two model series of airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Special Conditions

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of
the type certification basis for Bombardier Inc. Models BD-500-1A10 and
BD-500-1A11 (C-series) airplanes.
    1. Fuselage In-Flight Fire Safety and Flammability Resistance.
Bombardier must demonstrate that the fuselage would not materially
contribute to the propagation of an in-flight fire or introduce any
additional in-flight fire risk.
    2. To demonstrate compliance, the test set-up and methodology must
be commensurate with 14 CFR Part 25, appendix F, part VII, except the
size of the test samples, modifications to the sample holder, and the
test methodology would be varied as described below.

    3. In demonstrating that the aluminum-lithium material used to
fabricate the fuselage has equal or better flammability resistance
characteristics than the aluminum alloy sheet typically used as skin
material on similar airplanes, the accepted test methods for compliance
include:
    a. Each test sample must consist of a flat test specimen. A set of
three samples of the material must be tested. The size of each sample
must be 16 inches by 24 inches by 0.063 inches.
    b. The test samples must be installed into a steel sheet subframe
with outside dimensions of 18 inches by 32 inches. The subframe must
have an opening cut into it of 14.5 inches by 22.5 inches. The tests
samples must be mounted onto the subframe using .250-20 UNC threaded
bolts.
    c. Test specimens must be conditioned at 70 [deg]F  5
[deg]F and 55 percent  5 percent humidity for at least 24
hours before testing.
    4. Demonstration of compliance will be achieved if the material is
not ignited during any of the tests.

[Release No. 34-64705; File No. SR-Phlx-2011-83]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change by NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC Relating
to a Remote Specialist Fee

June 20, 2011.
    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 June 13, 2011, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 Exchange proposes to adopt a new fee entitled ``Remote
Specialist Fee.''
    While fee changes pursuant to this proposal are effective upon
filing, the Exchange has designated these changes to be operative on
July 2, 2011. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site at http://nasdaqtrader.com/micro.aspx?id=PHLXfilings, at the principal office of the Exchange, 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 Exchange 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 the proposed rule change is to recoup costs
associated with maintaining a remote specialist post on the Exchange's
trading floor.
    The Exchange recently amended Rule 501, Specialist Appointment, and
Rule 1020, Registration and Functions of Options Specialists, to allow
qualified Exchange members to act as off-floor specialists in one or
more options classes (``Remote Specialist'').\3\ In conjunction with
recent amendments, the Exchange will staff and administer a physical
location or post on the trading floor to provide on-floor market
participants with a physical location to trade in options classes
allocated to a Remote Specialist. This physical location on the
Exchange's trading floor will require Exchange operations and
regulatory staff to be present at this post. As such, the Exchange
would incur additional operational and regulatory costs to maintain
this post and seeks to defray such costs by assessing a Remote
Specialist Fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64591 (June 8,
2011), 76 FR 33383 (June 2, 2011) (SR-Phlx-2011-79). A Remote
Specialist is an options specialist in one or more classes that may
not have a physical presence on an Exchange floor and is approved by
the Exchange pursuant to Rule 501.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is proposing to assess Remote Specialists a monthly
fee of $50 per option allocation.\4\ The Exchange would cap the fee at
$4,500 per month. The Exchange notes that the $4,500 proposed cap is
equivalent to the Specialist Post Fee \5\ which is currently assessed
on on-floor Specialists.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Pursuant to Rule 507, Application for Approval as an SQT or
RSQT and Assignment in Options, a Remote Specialist must meet
certain requirements to be approved as an RSQT. Rule 507(b)(i)
describes the process for the assignment of options. See Exchange
Rule 507. An RSQT is defined in Exchange Rule 1014(b)(ii)(B) as an
ROT that is a member or member organization with no physical trading
floor presence who has received permission from the Exchange to
generate and submit option quotations electronically in options to
which such RSQT has been assigned. An RSQT may only submit such
quotations electronically from off the floor of the Exchange.
    \5\ The Exchange assesses a Specialist Post fee of $1,125 per
month for a quarter post and $4,500 per month for a full post with a
maximum of $4,500 per month. See Exchange's Fee Schedule. The
Specialist posts are designed to facilitate Specialist interaction
with the trading crowd. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
59852 (April 30, 2009), 74 FR 21424 (May 7, 2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-39).
    \6\ Specialists are members who are registered as options
specialists pursuant to Rule 1020(a). See Exchange Rule 1020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While fee changes pursuant to this proposal are effective upon
filing, the Exchange has designated these changes to be operative on
July 2, 2011.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Fee Schedule
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \7\ in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \8\ in particular, in that
it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees and other charges
among Exchange members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that this Remote Specialist Fee is reasonable
because it seeks to recoup costs that are incurred by the Exchange for
maintaining a defined physical location or post on the Exchange's
trading floor to facilitate interaction amongst market participants
located on the Exchange's physical trading floor. The Exchange also
believes the proposal is reasonable because the Exchange proposes to
cap the Remote Specialist Fee at $4,500 per month, which is equal to
the maximum fees the Exchange assesses on-floor Specialists for the
Specialist Post Fee.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed Remote Specialist Fee is
equitable because it would be uniformly applied to all Remote
Specialists.

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

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

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\9\ At any time within 60 days of the filing
of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily
suspend 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. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall
institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be
approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. 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
the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information
section is arranged as follows:

I. Background
II. What action is EPA taking and what is the basis for this action?
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    On November 14, 2011, Illinois EPA submitted a revision to its
ozone SIP. This revision consists of an amendment to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
sections 218.208 (Exemptions from VOC Emission Limitations for Coating
Operations for the Chicago 8-hour ozone nonattainment area) and 219.208
(Exemptions from VOC Emission Limitations for Coating Operations for
the Metro-East St. Louis 8-hour ozone nonattainment area) by adding a
``small container exemption'' for pleasure craft surface coating
operations. EPA previously approved sections 218.208(c) and 219.208(c)
which specify that Illinois' surface coating VOC emission limitations
shall not apply to touch-up and repair coatings used by a can, coil,
vinyl, metal furniture and magnet wire coating operation, provided that
the source-wide volume of such coatings used does not exceed 1 quart
per 8-hour period or exceed 55 gallons/year for any rolling 12 month
period. (61 FR 5511 on February 13, 1996). The SIP revision which is
the subject of this action extends the exemption in sections 218.208(c)
and 219.208(c) to the pleasure craft surface coating limits set out in
sections 218.204(q)(5) and 219.204(q)(5). Illinois' SIP revision also
amends 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.208(e) and 219.208(e), the recordkeeping
and reporting provisions, to add pleasure craft coating operations that
are exempted from the limitations in 218.204(q) and 219.204(q) to the
coating operations subject to recordkeeping requirements. Sections
218.208(e) and 219.208(e) contain sufficient recordkeeping requirements
to establish whether these exemptions have been exceeded.

II. What action is EPA taking and what is the basis for this action?

    EPA is approving the State's request to add a ``small container
exemption'' for pleasure craft surface coating operations in the
Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas for
the reasons stated below.
    EPA published the Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Part Coatings
Control Technique Guidelines (MMPPC CTG) on October 7, 2008 (73 FR
58486). Members of the pleasure craft coatings industry contacted EPA
requesting reconsideration of the pleasure craft VOC limits contained
in EPA's 2008 MMPPC CTG. In response, EPA issued a memorandum on June
1, 2010, titled ``Control Technique Guidelines for Miscellaneous Metal
and Plastic Part Coatings--Industry Request for

Reconsideration,'' recommending that the pleasure craft industry work
with State agencies during their RACT rule development process to
assess what is reasonable for the specific sources regulated. EPA
stated that States can use the recommendations from the MMPPC CTG to
inform their own determinations as to what constitutes RACT for
pleasure craft coating operations in their particular ozone
nonattainment area. As stated in the memorandum, EPA will evaluate
State-developed RACT rules and determine whether the submitted rules
meet the RACT requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
    In 2010 and 2011 Illinois promulgated rules on VOC RACT emission
limitations for coating operations (See November 30, 2011 proposed
approval at 76 FR 74014). During that rulemaking the American Coatings
Association (ACA) commented to Illinois EPA that many VOC coating
regulations include a small container exemption not to exceed a liter
or a quart. The ACA stated that the basis for these exemptions is to
allow for small repairs and touch ups to existing coatings at the end
of the painting line to avoid having to completely recoat the product,
thus resulting in lower VOC emissions overall and supported a small
container exemption for pleasure craft coating operations.
    As a result of this comment and EPA's June 2010 memorandum
discussing the CTG and the pleasure craft industry, Illinois EPA
amended its small container exemptions to add the pleasure craft
coating operations. These exemptions limit the quantity of touch-up and
repair coatings used to a maximum quantity of 55 gallons per year of
such coatings.
    Illinois' approach is generally consistent with EPA's August 10,
1990, policy memorandum regarding an allowed ``Exemption for Low-Use
Coatings'' which states that ``[a] low-use exemption for specialty or
other coatings may be reasonable for a source that uses small
quantities for intermittent or specialty-type operations.'' In this
policy EPA stated that a plant-wide cutoff of 55 gallons per rolling
12-month period for all low-use coatings in the aggregate used at a
facility is reasonable. Also, EPA has previously approved the small
container exemption for Illinois' can, coil, vinyl, metal furniture and
magnet wire coating operations.
    EPA concludes that Illinois' small container exemption for pleasure
craft coating operations added to 35 Ill. Adm. Code sections 218.208
and 219.208 satisfies RACT requirements of the CAA. As noted above, the
exemption is for a source category identified by EPA as appropriate for
state consideration and development of what is reasonable for the
specific source category, the exemption may result in lower emissions
because allowing higher VOC touch-up and repair coatings could result
in less total coating use (and lower overall VOC emissions) and the
exemption is restricted to no more than 55 gallons per year of these
coatings, which is consistent with EPA's policy on exemptions for low-
use coatings.
    We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse
written comments are filed. This rule will be effective June 15, 2012
without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written
comments by May 16, 2012. If we receive such comments, we will withdraw
this action before the effective date by publishing a subsequent
document that will withdraw the final action. All public comments
received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the
proposed action. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. If we do
not receive any comments, this action will be effective June 15, 2012.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this

action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by June 15, 2012. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

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 supports standard instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (FR 82 16140, April 3, 2017), Docket No. FAA-2017-0165, to
modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at West Plains Regional Airport, West Plains, MO. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment was
received in support of the proposal.
    Except for editorial changes, this rule remains the same from the
NPRM.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.5-mile (from a 6.9-mile) radius of West
Plains Regional Airport,

West Plains, MO, and removes the segment extending 10 miles south from
the Hutton VOR/DME due to the decommissioning of the VOR, and
cancellation of the VOR approach. The airport name is changed from West
Plains Municipal Airport to West Plains Regional Airport. This action
enhances the safety and management of the standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at the airport.
    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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would 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.
