Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2022-09-03, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -
1041 airplanes. AD 2022-09-03 requires revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD
2022-09-03, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would
continue to require the actions in AD 2022-09-03 and require revising
the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate additional new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The
FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by December
27, 2022.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2022-09-03, Amendment 39-22023 (87 FR 29030, May
12, 2022) (AD 2022-09-03), which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model
A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2022-09-03 requires revising the
existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA
issued AD 2022-09-03 to address the potential failure of certain life-
limited parts, which could result in reduced structural integrity of
the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2022-09-03 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2022-09-03, the FAA has determined that
additional new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are
necessary.
    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2022-0124, dated June 28, 2022 (EASA
AD 2022-0124) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. EASA
AD 2022-0124 superseded EASA AD 2021-0206 (which corresponds to FAA AD
2022-09-03).
    Airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original
export certificate of airworthiness issued after May 2, 2022 must
comply with the airworthiness limitations specified as part of the
approved type design and referenced on the type certificate data sheet;
this proposed AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the
applicability.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the potential failure of certain life-
limited parts, which could result in reduced structural integrity of
the airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2022-0124 specifies new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits.
    This proposed AD would also require EASA AD 2021-0206, dated
September 15, 2021, which the Director of the Federal Register approved
for incorporation by reference as of June 16, 2022 (87 FR 29030, May
12, 2022).
    This material 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

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI described above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after
determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to
exist or develop in other products of these same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2022-09-03.
This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations, which are specified in EASA
AD 2022-0124 described previously, as proposed for incorporation by
reference. Any differences with EASA AD 2022-0124 are identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed

AD, the operator may not be able to accomplish the actions described in
the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the
operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) according to paragraph (m)(1) of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2022-0124 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2022-0124 through that incorporation, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a
particular section in EASA AD 2022-0124 does not mean that operators
need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2022-
0124. Service information required by EASA AD 2022-0124 for compliance
will be available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2022-1408
after the FAA final rule is published.

Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process

    The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
    For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged.
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
    The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections) may be used unless the actions and intervals are approved
as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in the AMOCs
paragraph under ``Additional AD Provisions.'' This new format includes
a ``New Provisions for Alternative Actions and Intervals'' paragraph
that does not specifically refer to AMOCs, but operators may still
request an AMOC to use an alternative action or interval.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 30 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2022-09-03 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate.
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed
actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: 49 CFR part 556, Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or
Noncompliance.
    OMB Number: 2127-0045.
    Type of Request: Extension of a Currently Approved Collection.
    Abstract: NHTSA's statute at 49 U.S.C. 30118, Notification of
Defects and Noncompliance, and 49 U.S.C. 30120, Remedies for Defects
and Noncompliance, generally requires manufacturers of motor vehicles
and items of replacement equipment to conduct a notification and remedy
campaign (recall) when their products are determined to contain a
safety-related defect or a noncompliance with a Federal motor vehicle
safety standard (FMVSS). Those sections require a manufacturer of motor
vehicles or motor vehicle equipment to notify distributors, dealers,
and purchasers if any of the manufacturer's products are determined to
either contain a safety-related defect or fail to comply with an
applicable FMVSS. The manufacturer is under a concomitant obligation to
remedy such a defect or noncompliance. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d)
and 30120(h), Exemptions, a manufacturer may seek an exemption from
these notification and remedy requirements on the basis that the defect
or noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle
safety. NHTSA exercised this statutory authority to excuse
inconsequential defects or noncompliances when it promulgated 49 CFR
part 556, Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or Noncompliance. This
regulation establishes the procedures for manufacturers to submit
exemption petitions to the agency and the procedures the agency will
use in evaluating those petitions. The petition must state the full
name and address of the applicant, the nature of its organization
(e.g., individual, partnership, or corporation), and the name of the
State or country under the laws of which it is organized. See 49 CFR
556.4(b)(3). The petition must also describe the motor vehicle or item
of replacement equipment, including the number involved and the period
of production, and the defect or noncompliance concerning which an
exemption is sought. See 49 CFR 556.4(b)(4). The petition must also set
forth all data, views, and arguments of the petitioner supporting the
petition, and be accompanied by three copies of the report the
manufacturer has submitted, or is submitting, to NHTSA in accordance
with 49 CFR part 573, relating to its determination of the existence of
the safety-related defect or noncompliance that is the subject of the
petition. See 49 CFR 556.4(b)(5) and (6). These requirements allow the
agency to ensure that inconsequentiality petitions are both properly
substantiated and efficiently processed.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit entities that
manufacture or import motor vehicles or motor vehicle replacement
equipment.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 150 hours; $4,500.
    Address: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk
Officer.
    Comments are Invited On: Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2019-0011]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

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

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to exempt 13 individuals from the
vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate
commerce. They are unable to meet the vision requirement in one eye for
various reasons. The exemptions enable these individuals to operate
CMVs in interstate commerce without meeting the vision requirement in
one eye.

DATES: The exemptions were applicable on August 15, 2019. The
exemptions expire on August 15, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Room W64-224,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. If you have
questions regarding viewing or submitting material to the docket,
contact Docket Services,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Public Participation

A. Viewing Documents and Comments

    To view comments, as well as any documents mentioned in this notice
as being available in the docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=FMCSA-2019-0011 and choose the document to review. If you do
not have access to the internet, you may view the docket online by
visiting the Docket Management Facility in Room W12-140 on the ground
floor of the DOT West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington,
DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, except
Federal holidays.

B. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    On July 15, 2019, FMCSA published a notice announcing receipt of
applications from 13 individuals requesting an exemption from vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and requested comments from the
public (84 FR 33801). The public comment period ended on August 14,
2019, and two comments were received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
determined that granting the exemptions to these individuals would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level
that would be achieved by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(10).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has distant visual acuity of at
least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with
corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 20/40 (Snellen)
in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at
least 70[deg] in the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability
to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing red,
green, and amber.

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received two comments in this proceeding. Linda Domenosky
submitted a comment requesting an application for an exemption from the
vision requirements in Sec.  391.41(b)(10). FMCSA has contacted Ms.
Domenosky to provide the necessary application material.
    Vicky Johnson submitted a comment stating that the Minnesota
Department of Public Safety has no objections to the decision to grant
an exemption to Rodney E. Mattson.

IV. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-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 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum

duration of a driver's medical certification.
    The Agency's decision regarding these exemption applications is
based on medical reports about the applicants' vision, as well as their
driving records and experience driving with the vision deficiency. The
qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each applicant
were stated and discussed in detail in the July 15, 2019, Federal
Register notice (84 FR 33801) and will not be repeated here.
    FMCSA recognizes that some drivers do not meet the vision
requirement but have adapted their driving to accommodate their
limitation and demonstrated their ability to drive safely. The 13
exemption applicants listed in this notice are in this category. They
are unable to meet the vision requirement in one eye for various
reasons, including amblyopia, aphakia, complete loss of vision, macular
hole, macular scar, optic nerve pallor, prosthesis, and retinal
detachment. In most cases, their eye conditions did not develop
recently. Eight of the applicants were either born with their vision
impairments or have had them since childhood. The five individuals that
developed their vision conditions as adults have had them for a range
of 3 to 30 years. Although each applicant has one eye that does not
meet the vision requirement in Sec.  391.41(b)(10), each has at least
20/40 corrected vision in the other eye, and, in a doctor's opinion,
has sufficient vision to perform all the tasks necessary to operate a
CMV.
    Doctors' opinions are supported by the applicants' possession of a
valid license to operate a CMV. By meeting State licensing
requirements, the applicants demonstrated their ability to operate a
CMV with their limited vision in intrastate commerce, even though their
vision disqualified them from driving in interstate commerce. We
believe that the applicants' intrastate driving experience and history
provide an adequate basis for predicting their ability to drive safely
in interstate commerce. Intrastate driving, like interstate operations,
involves substantial driving on highways on the interstate system and
on other roads built to interstate standards. Moreover, driving in
congested urban areas exposes the driver to more pedestrian and
vehicular traffic than exists on interstate highways. Faster reaction
to traffic and traffic signals is generally required because distances
between them are more compact. These conditions tax visual capacity and
driver response just as intensely as interstate driving conditions.
    The applicants in this notice have driven CMVs with their limited
vision in careers ranging for 3 to 104 years. In the past three years,
one driver was involved in a crash, and no drivers were convicted of
moving violations in CMVs. All the applicants achieved a record of
safety while driving with their vision impairment that demonstrates the
likelihood that they have adapted their driving skills to accommodate
their condition. As the applicants' ample driving histories with their
vision deficiencies are good predictors of future performance, FMCSA
concludes their ability to drive safely can be projected into the
future.
    Consequently, FMCSA finds that in each case exempting these
applicants from the vision requirement in Sec.  391.41(b)(10) is likely
to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.

V. Conditions and Requirements

    The terms and conditions of the exemption are provided to the
applicants in the exemption document and includes the following: (1)
Each driver must be physically examined every year (a) by an
ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the standard in Sec.  391.41(b)(10) and
(b) by a certified medical examiner (ME) who attests that the
individual is otherwise physically qualified under Sec.  391.41; (2)
each driver must provide a copy of the ophthalmologist's or
optometrist's report to the ME at the time of the annual medical
examination; and (3) each driver must provide a copy of the annual
medical certification to the employer for retention in the driver's
qualification file, or keep a copy in his/her driver's qualification
file if he/she is self-employed. The driver must also have a copy of
the exemption when driving, for presentation to a duly authorized
Federal, State, or local enforcement official.

VI. Preemption

    During the period the exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with this exemption with
respect to a person operating under the exemption.

VII. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 13 exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts the following drivers from the vision requirement, Sec.
391.41(b)(10), subject to the requirements cited above:

Shawn T. Cobbs (MD)
John H.L. Crews (UT)
Paul T. Fisher (MA)
Kevin S. Haas (PA)
Ricky L. Kilpatrick (OK)
Rodney E. Mattson (MN)
Jeffrey T. Molosz (IL)
William H. Moore (AL)
Thomas Pizzurro, Jr. (NY)
Glen A. Potts (PA)
Guillermo Rocha, Jr. (CA)
Lawrence A. Sivori (KY)
Sharon H. Waggoner (MO)

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), each exemption
will be valid for 2 years from the effective date unless revoked
earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be revoked if the following
occurs: (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 prior to being granted; or (3) continuation
of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals and objectives
of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-603, Critical Energy/Electric Infrastructure
Information Data Request.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0197.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-603 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The CEII request form and five versions of the non-
disclosure agreement (General Non-Disclosure Agreement, Media Non-
Disclosure Agreement, Federal Agency Acknowledgement and Agreement,
State Agency Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement, and Consultant Non-
Disclosure Agreement) are posted at https://www.ferc.gov/legal/ceii-foia/ceii.asp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Abstract: This collection is used by the Commission to implement
procedures for individuals with a valid or legitimate need for access
to Critical Energy/Electric Infrastructure Information (CEII), which is
exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552), subject to a non-disclosure agreement.
    On February, 21, 2003, the Commission issued Order No. 630 (66 FR
52917) to address the appropriate treatment of CEII in the aftermath of
the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and to restrict access due to
the ongoing terrorism threat. Given that such information would
typically be exempt from mandatory disclosure pursuant to FOIA, the
Commission determined that it was important to have a process for
individuals with a valid or legitimate need to access certain sensitive
energy infrastructure information. As such, the Commission's CEII
process is designed to limit the distribution of sensitive
infrastructure information to those individuals with a need to know in
order to avoid having sensitive information fall into the hands of
those who may use it to attack the Nation's infrastructure.\2\ This
collection was prepared as part of the implementation of the CEII
request process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission defined CEII to include information about
``existing or proposed critical infrastructure that: (i) relates to
the production, generation, transportation, transmission, or
distribution of energy; (ii) could be useful to a person planning an
attack on critical infrastructure; (iii) is exempt from mandatory
disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, and (iv) does not
simply give the location of the critical infrastructure. Critical
infrastructure means existing and proposed systems and assets,
whether physical or virtual, the incapacity or destruction of which
would negatively affect security, economic security, public health
or safety, or any combination of those matters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 4, 2015, the President signed the Fixing America's
Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) into law, which directed the
Commission to issue regulations aimed at securing and sharing sensitive
infrastructure information.\3\ On November 17, 2016, in Order No. 833
(in Docket No. RM16-15), the Commission adopted a Final Rule
implementing the FAST Act by

amending its regulations that pertain to the designation, protection,
and sharing of CEII. The Final Rule became effective on February 19,
2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, Public Law 114-
94, 61,003, 129 Stat. 1312, 1773-1779 (2015) (to be codified at 16

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

    The FERC-603, Critical Energy/Electric Infrastructure Information
(CEII) request form is largely unchanged from the previously approved
version. As in the previous version, a person seeking access to CEII
must file a request for that information by providing information about
their identity and the reason the individual needs the information.
With that information, the Commission is able to assess the requester's
need for the information against the sensitivity of the information.
The updated form has been changed to include one additional
requirement, a signed statement from the requester attesting to the
accuracy of the information provided in the request. This requirement
was inadvertently omitted from the previous form. See 18 CFR
388.113(g)(5)(i)(D). A sample updated CEII request form is attached to
this notice.
    Type of Respondents: Persons seeking access to CEII.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \4\ The Commission estimates the total
annual burden and cost \5\ for this information collection as follows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``Burden'' is the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
    \5\ The Commission staff thinks that the average respondent for
this collection is similarly situated to the Commission, in terms of
salary plus benefits. Based upon the FERC's 2019 average cost for
salary plus benefits, the average hourly cost is $80/hour.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56588; File No. SR-NYSE-2007-92]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange, LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to NYSE Rules 104(b) and 123D

October 1, 2007.
    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 September 28, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange, LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the NYSE. The
Exchange filed the proposal pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act
\3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 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)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The NYSE proposes to amend its Rule 104(b) to provide for an
automated opening message that will be effectuated through the
Specialist Application Programmed Interface (``SAPI''), to allow
specialists to open a security on a quote. Additionally, the Exchange
seeks to amend its Rule 123D (Openings and Halts in Trading) to clarify
that specialists may open a security on a trade or a quote. The text of
the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, on the
Exchange's Web site at http://www.nyse.com, 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 Exchange is filing this proposed rule change to amend its Rules
104(b) and 123D to allow specialists to open a security on a quote by
sending a message from the SAPI to the NYSE Display Book[supreg] system
for publication of a quote when there is no opening trade.\5\ The
proposed rule change merely provides the specialist with the ability to
electronically open a security on a quote, which currently may be
accomplished manually.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Display Book[supreg] system is an order management and
execution facility. The Display Book system receives and displays
orders to the specialists, contains the Book, and provides a
mechanism to execute and report transactions and publish the results
to the Consolidated Tape. The Display Book system is connected to a
number of other Exchange systems for the purposes of comparison,
surveillance, and reporting information to customers and other
market data and national market systems.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Rule 104(b)
    The Exchange seeks to add this electronic opening quote message
provision to Exchange Rule 104(b), which includes other SAPI trading
and quoting messages. The Exchange believes that, with increased
automation of trading, specialists should be able to perform their
trading and quoting functions both electronically and manually. To do
otherwise would unnecessarily limit their effectiveness in

the market and disadvantage investors. The proposed Rule 104(b)
provision refers to proposed Rule 123D, which clarifies that a
specialist is permitted to open a security in which he or she is
registered on either a trade or a quote.
Rule 123D: Specialist Obligations at the Opening
    The provisions of Exchange Rule 123D require a specialist to open
the securities in which he or she is registered. According to Rule
123D, specialists must, among other things, do the following when
opening and reopening their assigned securities:
     Open a registered security as close to the opening bell as
possible;
     Open securities in a timely, fair and orderly manner; and
     Provide timely and impartial information at all phases of
the opening process.
    The proposed rule change will codify the practice of the specialist
in the opening process, which is that the specialist may open an
assigned security on a trade or on a quote. The specialist may open a
security on a quote when there is no trade upon which to open. The
practice has been and will remain that if a specialist opens a security
on a quote, he or she must provide the highest bid price and lowest
offer price available to them.\6\ The proposed amendment to Rule 123D
refers to the proposed amendment of Rule 104(b) as described above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The specialist must also be guided by Exchange Rules 79A.30
(one or two points or more away from the last sale) and 115A (Orders
at Openings or in Unusual Situations) when opening and reopening
securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delayed or Untimely Openings
    Specialists' delayed or untimely openings of securities potentially
disadvantage market participants, as investors are unable to trade such
securities at the NYSE until the security is opened. The ability to
open a security on a quote via an automated quoting message will enable
the specialist to open their assigned securities in a timely manner,
thereby providing investors with access to the NYSE market as close to
9:30 a.m. as possible. Opening securities in a timely, fair and orderly
manner is consistent with the specialist's obligations under Exchange
Rules 123D and 104. Therefore, the Exchange believes it is imperative
to provide the specialist with an automated message that will assist
the specialist in opening their assigned securities on a quote. Through
this rule filing, the Exchange is merely seeking to automate an
approved specialist function that is presently performed manually.
    When a specialist on the NYSE fails to timely open a security that
also trades on other exchanges, the investor will generally trade that
particular security on other exchanges so as not to miss the market. As
a consequence of late openings, the NYSE could lose market volume and
market data revenue.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \7\ in that it is designed 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. The Exchange also believes
that the proposed rule change is designed to support the principles of
Section 11A(a)(1) of the Act \8\ in that it seeks to assure
economically efficient execution of securities transactions by making
it easier for specialists to open securities in which they are
registered on a quote in a timely fashion by providing an automated
quoting message that is effectuated through the SAPI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78(f)(b)(5).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

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

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

    Because the forgoing rule change does not: (1) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (3) become operative for 30 days
after the date of this filing, or such shorter time as the Commission
may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 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 NYSE has satisfied this
requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under 19b-4(f)(6) normally may not
become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing. However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) 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 requested that the Commission
waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest because it should assist the
specialist in its ability to open securities in a timely, fair, and
orderly manner. The Commission notes that the Exchange has represented
that this proposal would merely automate the ability that specialists
currently have to manually open trading in a security on a quote when
there is no opening trade. For these reasons, the Commission designates
the proposed rule change to be effective and operative upon filing with
the Commission.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative
delay, the Commission 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 such 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.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of draft GFI #278 entitled
``Human User Safety in New and Abbreviated New Animal Drug
Applications.'' This draft guidance is intended for sponsors interested
in pursuing the approval, or conditional approval, of new animal drugs
(including new generic animal drugs). This guidance addresses general
principles of HUS assessment for new animal drugs, sources of data,
mitigation strategies for proposed new animal drugs, potential
recommendations to address HUS concerns, and how HUS information should
be submitted to CVM.
    This level 1 draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's
good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR

10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current
thinking of FDA on ``Human User Safety in New and Abbreviated New
Animal Drug Applications.'' It does not establish any rights for any
person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable
statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    While this guidance contains no collection of information, it does
refer to previously approved FDA collections of information. Therefore,
clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521) is not
required for this guidance. The previously approved collections of
information are subject to review by OMB under the PRA. The collections
of information in 21 CFR part 511 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0117; in 21 CFR part 514 have been approved under OMB
control numbers 0910-0032 and 0910-0284; in 21 CFR part 516 have been
approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0605 and 0910-0620; and in
section 512(n)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21
U.S.C. 360b(n)(1)) have been approved under OMB control number 0910-
0669.

III. Electronic Access

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31433; Amdt. No. 4013]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective June 24, 2022. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of June 24, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Information Services, 6500 South

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed
on FAA form documents which are incorporated by reference in this
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20.
The applicable FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B,
when required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the typed of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for Part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    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.
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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
