[Docket No. FMCSA-02-12844; FMCSA-02-12423; FMCSA-04-19477]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Renewals; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA previously announced its decision to renew the
exemptions from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations for 5 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to
exempt individuals from the vision requirement if the exemptions
granted will not compromise safety. The Agency has concluded that
granting these exemptions will provide a level of safety that will be
equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety maintained without
the exemptions for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Mary D. Gunnels, Director, Medical
Programs,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA, Department of
Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Room 8301, Washington, DC
20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Access

    You may see all the comments online through the Federal Document
Management System (FDMS) at http://www.regulations.gov.

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for a 2-year period if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The comment
period ended on March 9, 2009.

Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.

Conclusion

    The Agency has not received any adverse evidence on any of these
drivers that indicates that safety is being compromised. Based upon its
evaluation of the 5 renewal applications, FMCSA renews the Federal
vision exemptions for Lester G. Kelley, II, Dennis R. O'Dell, Jr.,
Jerry W. Parker, Virgil A. Potts, and Henry A. Shelton.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each renewal
exemption will be valid for 2 years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
    The exemption will be revoked if: (1) The person fails to comply
with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has
resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained before it was
granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not be consistent
with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.

    Issued on: March 18, 2009.

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by heavy corrosion found on the wing rear spar
lower girder. This proposed AD would require inspections of the
affected areas, modification of the wing trailing edge lower skin
panels, and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD
to detect and correct corrosion of the wing rear spar lower girder.
This condition could reduce the load-carrying capability of the wing,
possibly resulting in structural failure and loss of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 8, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0113, dated June 22, 2015 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Fokker Services
B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070, and 0100 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    On an F28 Mark 0070 aeroplane, heavy corrosion was found on the
wing rear spar lower girder. At small spots the effective thickness
of the vertical flange of the lower girder was almost lost.
Subsequently, a number of inspections were accomplished on other
aeroplanes to provide additional information on possible corrosion
in this area. Because the rear spar lower girder between Wing
Stations (WSTA) 9270 and 11794 is hidden from view by the inboard
and outboard aileron balancing plates, it is possible that corrosion
in this area remains undetected during the zonal inspections in zone
536 and 636 (MRB tasks 062505-00-01 and 062605-00-01).The heavy
corrosion was not only found in the area between WSTA 9270 and
11794, but also in the area where the rear spar lower girder is
directly visible.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, reduces the load
carrying capability of the wing, possibly resulting in structural
failure and loss of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Fokker Services
issued Service Bulletin (SB) SBF100-57-049 to provide instructions
to detect and remove corrosion and to modify the wing trailing edge
lower skin panels into access panels. SBF100-57-050 was issued to
provide repair instructions.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
inspections of the affected areas and, depending on findings,
accomplishment of applicable corrective action(s). This [EASA] AD
also requires modification of the wing trailing edge lower skin
panels into access panels [This modification is to provide ease of
access for later inspection and repairs in the affected areas.], and
reporting of the results of the inspections to Fokker Services.
    More information on this subject can be found in Fokker Services
All Operators Message AOF100.197.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-57-049, dated March 24,
2015, which describes procedures for an inspection for corrosion of
certain wing rear spar lower girder areas, modification of the wing
trailing edge lower skin panels, and corrective actions if necessary.
We also reviewed Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-57-050, Revision 1,
dated May 19, 2015, which describes procedures for repair of the wing
spar. This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 8 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 35 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $1,680
per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $37,240, or $4,655 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 372 work-hours and require parts costing $7,600, for a cost
of $39,220 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need this action.
    We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
for reporting. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on
these figures, we estimate the cost of this reporting on U.S. operators
to be $680, or $85 per product.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this proposed AD
is 2120-0056. The paperwork cost associated with this proposed AD has
been detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and
includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting
associated with this proposed AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the
accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should
be directed to the FAA at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC
20591, ATTN: Information Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this 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 this 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

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

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

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

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
    Currently, pursuant to Rule 5.1(b)(2), MSCI EAFE Index (``EAFE'')
and MSCI Emerging Markets Index (``EM'') options trade on the Exchange
from 9:30 a.m. until 4:15 p.m. Eastern time. The Exchange proposes to
amend Rule 5.1(b)(2)(A) to add EAFE and EM options to the list of index
options that may trade on the Exchange from 9:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time.
    By way of background, the Exchange currently lists and trades EAFE
and EM options (collectively, ``MSCI Index'' options). The EAFE Index
is designed to captures large and mid-cap representation across 21
developed markets countries (excluding the U.S. and Canada) with 902
constituents, which cover approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted
market capitalization in each country. The EM Index is designed to
capture large and mid-cap representation across emerging market
countries across 26 emerging markets country indexes with 1,388
constituents, which cover approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted
market capitalization in each country. The Exchange understands that
investors trade options on MSCI Indexes often use the prices of the
exchange-traded funds (``ETFs'') derived from the MSCI Indexes (e.g.,
iShares MSCI EAFE and EM ETFs), the components of which are stocks that
are components of the MSCI Indexes, to price options rather than
futures on the MSCI Indexes (which are often used to price index
options, such as options on the S&P 500). The related ETFs end regular
trading at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time each day. Closing trading in the MSCI
Index options at the same time the correlated ETFs end regular trading
\5\ will ensure investors have access to robust pricing of the ETFs,
the underlying stock components of which are stocks that are components
of the MSCI Indexes, they use to price the options, thus will reduce
investors' price risk. Other index options may currently trade from
9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ While the stocks may continue to trade in an aftermarket
trading session on the listing exchanges, there is less liquidity in
aftermarket trading, which generally leads to wider spreads and more
volatile pricing.
    \6\ See Rule 5.1(b)(2)(A), pursuant to which options on the
various S&P Select Sector Indexes may trade. Investors similarly use
pricing of the underlying stocks of the Sector Indexes to price
options and shares of ETFs derived from the Sector Indexes. See also
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 83112 (April 26, 2018), 83 FR
19365 (May 5, 2018) (SR-CBOE-2018-030).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of

Section 6(b) of the Act.\7\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \8\
requirements that the rules of an exchange be designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. Additionally, the Exchange
believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section
6(b)(5) \9\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed
to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or
dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, closing trading in the MSCI Index options at the
same time the related ETFs end regular trading will ensure investors
have access to robust pricing of the correlated ETFs (the underlying
stock components of which are also components of the MSCI Indexes) they
use to price the options, which protects investors by reducing their
price risk. Indeed, the Exchange notes that a number of Trading Permit
Holders (``TPHs'') have expressed to the Exchange that aligning the
close of trading in the MSCI Index options would reduce their pricing
risk at the end of the trading day. Additionally, the Exchange believes
lack of ETF pricing may cause Market-Makers to widen their quote
spreads and reduce their quote sizes for the part of the options
trading day during which ETF pricing is not available. The Exchange
believes the proposed rule change will, therefore, help maintain
meaningful liquidity in the MSCI Index options market, which liquidity
may otherwise be impacted if appointed Market-Makers quote during times
when pricing for the related ETFs is unavailable. Also, as noted above,
other index options may trade from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern
time.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See supra note 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not
believe the proposed rule change will impose any burden on intramarket
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act, because all market participants will be able to
trade MSCI Index options during the same trading hours. Other index
options may currently trade from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time,
which close at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time to similarly align with the
corresponding underlying stock prices.\11\ The Exchange does not
believe the proposed rule change will impose any burden on intermarket
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act, and may promote competition, because the proposed
rule change will align the trading hours for options on the MSCI
Indexes with the trading hours of correlated ETFs, which are comprised
of the underlying shares that comprise these indexes. Additionally,
MSCI Index options trade exclusively on Cboe Options. To the extent
that the proposed changes make Cboe Options a more attractive
marketplace for market participants at other exchanges, such market
participants are welcome to become Cboe Options market participant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See supra note 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \14\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \15\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay. The
Exchange believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest because the
proposed rule change does not raise any novel or unique issues not
previously considered by the Commission. The Exchange notes that the
proposed rule change applies to MSCI Index options trading hours
currently applicable to other index options of which the components
underlying such indexes and the related ETFs stop trading at 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time. Accordingly, the Commission believes that waiver of the
30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest. The Commission hereby waives the operative
delay and designates the proposal as operative upon filing.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 change should be approved or
disapproved.
