transiting through, or anchoring within this safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port (COTP) San Diego or his
designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9:15 a.m. through 11:15 a.m. on
September 11, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it was impracticable since the
logistical details of the launching were not finalized nor presented to
the Coast Guard in time to draft and publish an NPRM. As such, the
event would occur before the rulemaking process was complete. Any delay
in the regulation's effective date would be contrary to the public
interest, as immediate action is necessary to provide for the safety of
vessels and users of the waterway.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. The issuance of final approval was
so recent that the rule will be made effective less than 30 days after
publication. Any delay in the effective date of this rule will expose
vessels and persons of the waterway to dangers posed by ship
launchings.

Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
navigable waters of the San Diego Bay to contribute to the safety of
the USNS Washington Chambers and surrounding vessels as this ship
launches from

NASSCO shipyards. There will be three tugboats to take control of the
vessel after the launch. This temporary safety zone is necessary to
provide for the safety of the vessels and users of the waterway.

Discussion of Rule

    The USNS Washington Chambers will be launched from NASSCO shipyard
into the San Diego Bay. The safety zone is required because the
vessel's planned launch location is in the maritime navigation channel.
The safety zone will be enforced on September 11, 2010. The limits of
the temporary safety zone include all navigable waters encompassed by
the following coordinates:

32[deg]41.39[min] N, 117[deg]08.66[min] W;
32[deg]41.24[min] N, 117[deg]09.05[min] W;
32[deg]41.05[min] N, 117[deg]08.73[min] W;
32[deg]41.20[min] N, 117[deg]08.34[min] W;
thence north along the shoreline to 32[deg]41.39[min] N,
117[deg]08.66[min] W.

    The safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the
vessels and users of the waterway. Persons and vessels are prohibited
from entering into, transiting through, or anchoring within this safety
zone unless authorized by the COTP San Diego or his designated
representative. Vessels or persons violating this section will be
subject to both criminal and civil penalties.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. This
determination is based on the size, duration, and location of the
safety zone. This rule will be enforced only 2 hours early in the day
when vessel traffic is low. Furthermore, vessel traffic can pass safely
around the zone.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor in a portion of the San Diego Bay from 9:15 a.m. to 11:15
a.m. on September 11, 2010.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. This
rule will be enforced only 2 hours early in the day when vessel traffic
is low. Vessel traffic can pass safely around the zone. Before the
effective period, the Coast Guard will publish a local notice to
mariners (LNM) and will issue broadcast notice to mariners (BNM) alerts
via VHF Channel 16 before the safety zone is enforced.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

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

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have
determined that it is not a ``significant energy action'' under that
order because it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse
effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator
of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated
it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a
Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g.),
of the Instruction. This rule involves the establishment of a safety
zone.
    An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

[Release No. 34-70346; File No. SR-MIAX-2013-41]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Miami International Securities
Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Options Fee Schedule

September 9, 2013.
    Pursuant to the provisions of 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 August 28, 2013, Miami International Securities
Exchange LLC (``MIAX'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a 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 is filing a proposal to amend its Fee Schedule.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.miaxoptions.com/filter/wotitle/rule_filing, at
MIAX's principal office, 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to establish a $0.05 transaction fee for
executions in standard option contracts and $0.005 transaction fee for
Mini Option contracts for Market Makers \3\ registered on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Market Makers may be registered as a Lead Market Maker or as
a Registered Market Maker. See Exchange Rule 600(b). Market Makers
registered on the Exchange for purposes of the transaction fee and
Section 1(a)(i) of the Fee Schedule include: (i) Registered Market
Maker (``RMM''); (ii) Lead Market Maker (``LMM''); (iii) Directed
Order Lead Market Maker (``DLMM''); (iv) Primary Lead Market Maker
(``PLMM''); and Directed Order Primary Lead Market Maker
(``DPLMM''). See MIAX Options Fee Schedule, Section 1(a)(i)--Market
Maker Transaction Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction fees for Market Makers are: (i) RMMs $0.23 per
contract for standard options or $0.023 for Mini Options; (ii) LMMs
$0.20 per contract for standard options or $0.020 for Mini Options;
(iii) DLMMs and PLMMs $0.18 per contract for standard options or $0.018
for Mini Options; and (iv) DPLMMs $0.16 per contract for standard
options or $0.016 for Mini Options.\4\ These transaction fees are
currently subject to a fee waiver until August 31, 2013.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See MIAX Options Fee Schedule, Section 1(a)(i)--Market Maker
Transaction Fees.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 70069 (July 30,
2013), 78 FR 47457 (August 5, 2013) (SR-MIAX-2013-36); 69710 (June
6, 2013), 78 FR 35349 (June 12, 2013) (SR-MIAX-2013-26).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to implement the new transaction fees
beginning September 3, 2013, after the current fee waiver expires. The
proposed transaction fees are designed both to enhance the Exchange's
competitiveness with other option exchanges and to strengthen its
market quality. The Exchange believes that the new fees will increase
both intermarket and intramarket competition by incenting market
participants and market makers on other exchanges to register as Market
Makers on the Exchange. In addition, the Exchange believes that the
reduced transaction fees for Market Makers registered on the Exchange
promote tighter bid-ask spreads by Market Makers, and increase the
volume of transactions in order to allow the Exchange to compete more
effectively with other options exchanges for such transactions.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its fee schedule
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \6\ in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \7\ in particular, in that
it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees and other charges
among Exchange members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposal is fair, equitable and not
unreasonably discriminatory. The proposal is reasonable because it
results in a decrease in Market Maker transactions fees for all Market
Makers on the Exchange in order to enable the Exchange to improve its
overall competitiveness and strengthen its market quality for all
market participants. The proposed fees are fair and equitable and not
unreasonably discriminatory because they will apply equally to all
Market Makers regardless of type. All Market Makers will be subject to
the same transaction fee, and access to the Exchange is offered on
terms that are not unfairly discriminatory. The registration as an
Exchange Market Maker is equally available to all market participants
and Electronic Exchange Members (``EEMs'') that satisfy the
requirements of Rule 600. Any market participant may choose to satisfy
the additional requirements and obligations of being a Market Maker in
order to qualify for the transaction fee.
    The decrease in transaction fees for Market Makers, and no other
market participants, is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because Market Markers on the Exchange have enhanced quoting
obligations measured in both quantity (% time) and quality (minimum
bid-ask differentials) that other market participants do not have.\8\
The proposal is reasonably designed to enhance the quality of quoting
and volume transactions by limiting the proposal to those market
participants that have these enhanced obligations to deliver quality
markets. Decreasing transaction fees should incent market participants
and market makers on other exchanges to register as Market Makers on
the Exchange, which will enhance the quality of quoting and increase
the volume of contracts traded in options listed on MIAX. To the extent
that this purpose is achieved, all the Exchange's market participants
should benefit from the improved market liquidity. Enhanced market
quality and increased transaction volume that results from the increase
in Market Maker activity on the Exchange will benefit all market
participants and improve competition on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See MIAX Rules 603, 604, 605.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that an increase in the number of Market
Makers, and an increase in the execution volume from Market Makers,
will result in increased revenue from other fees and dues that may
apply to Market Makers that may potentially offset a portion of the
lower transaction

fees.\9\ While the Exchange believes that an increase in the number of
Market Makers, and an increase in the execution volume from Market
Makers, may potentially result in increased trading activity of other
market participants, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed
fee will result in other market participants subsidizing the activity
of Market Makers since the Exchange is not proposing any changes to
increase the existing fees of other market participants in order to
compensate for the proposed fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange notes that the proposal has no effect on other
fees and dues that may apply to Market Makers including marketing
fees, Options Regulatory Fees, market data, and membership
application fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. The Exchange believes that the
proposal increases both intermarket and intramarket competition by
incenting market participants and market makers on other exchanges to
register as Market Makers on the Exchange, which will enhance the
quality of quoting and increase the volume of contracts traded on MIAX.
To the extent that there is an additional competitive burden on non-
Market Makers, the Exchange believes that this is appropriate because
Market Markers registered on the Exchange have enhanced quoting
obligations measured in both quantity (% time) and quality (minimum
bid-ask differentials) that other market participants do not have.
Decreasing transaction fees should incent market participants and
market makers on other exchanges to register as Market Makers on the
Exchange, which will enhance the quality of quoting and increase the
volume of contracts traded here. To the extent that this purpose is
achieved, all the Exchange's market participants should benefit from
the improved market liquidity. Enhanced market quality and increased
transaction volume that results from the anticipated increase in Market
Maker activity on the Exchange will benefit all market participants and
improve competition on the Exchange. The Exchange notes that it
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants
can readily favor competing venues if they deem fee levels at a
particular venue to be excessive. In such an environment, the Exchange
must continually adjust its fees to remain competitive with other
exchanges and to attract order flow. The Exchange believes that the
proposal reflects this competitive environment because it reduces the
Exchange's fees in a manner that encourages market participants to
register as Market Makers, to provide liquidity, and to attract order
flow to the Exchange. Given the robust competition for volume among
options markets, many of which offer the same products, proposals to
implement lower transaction fees to attract Market Maker volume like
this filing is consistent with the above-mentioned goals of the Act.
This is especially true for the smaller options markets, such as MIAX,
which is competing for volume with much larger exchanges that dominate
the options trading industry. As a new exchange, MIAX has a nominal
percentage of the average daily trading volume in options, so it is
unlikely that lowering transaction fees could cause any competitive
harm to the options market or to market participants. Rather, the
proposal is a modest attempt by a small options market to attract order
volume away from larger competitors by adopting an innovative pricing
strategy. The Exchange notes that if the proposal results in a modest
percentage increase in the average daily trading volume in options
executing on MIAX, while such percentage would represent a large volume
increase for MIAX, it would represent a minimal reduction in volume of
its larger competitors in the industry. The Exchange believes that the
proposal will help further competition, because market participants
will have yet another additional alternative in determining where to
execute orders and post liquidity if they factor the benefits of Market
Maker transaction fees into the determination.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor 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.\10\ 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.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2019-0727; Product Identifier 2019-NM-090-AD; Amendment
39-19840; AD 2020-03-15]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Airbus SAS Model A321-211, -212, -213, -231, and -232
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of erroneous positioning of
affected parts on the skin of the fuselage during the pre-drill phase,
which could result in unwanted drill-starts. This AD requires
inspections for the presence of unwanted drill-starts on affected
parts, and an inspection for cracks and corrective action if necessary,
as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD,
which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 2, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 2,
2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0098, dated May 3, 2019 (``EASA
AD 2019-0098'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Airbus SAS Model A321-211, -212, -213, -231, and
-232 airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus SAS
Model A321-211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2019 (84 FR 57657).
The NPRM was prompted by a report of erroneous positioning of affected
parts (internal upper doublers of the forward emergency exit doors (#2
position), left-hand and right-hand sides) on the skin of the fuselage
during the pre-drill phase, which could result in unwanted drill-
starts. The NPRM proposed to require inspections for the presence of
unwanted drill-starts on affected parts, and an inspection for cracks
and corrective action if necessary.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address unwanted drill-starts, which
could affect the fatigue properties of affected fuselage skin parts and
possibly result

in cracking of fuselage skin. See the MCAI for additional background
information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA has considered the comment
received. An anonymous person stated support for the NPRM.

Change Made to This Final Rule

    EASA AD 2019-0098, which is referenced in paragraph (g) of this AD,
specifies to report inspection results to Airbus within a certain
compliance time. The FAA has added paragraph (h)(3) to this AD to
clarify the compliance times for the reporting required by this AD.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule with the change described previously
and minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0098 describes procedures for inspections for the
presence of unwanted drill-starts on affected parts (internal upper
doublers of the forward emergency exit doors (#2 position), left-hand
and right-hand sides), high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections
for cracks, and corrective actions including repair of cracked parts.
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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 51 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Labor cost                Parts cost           Cost per product           Cost on U.S.  operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 73 work-hours x $85 per hour              $0  Up to $6,205.................  Up to $316,455.
 = Up to $6,205.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the reporting requirement in this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the
cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S. operators to be
$4,335, or $85 per product.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition action that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need this on-condition action:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Labor cost                 Parts cost        Cost per product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
93 work-hours x $85 per hour =              $4,300              $12,205
 $7,905.......................
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this 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 AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation
Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

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

ACTION: Notification of petition.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing
that we have filed a petition, submitted by Lallemand Inc., proposing
that the food additive regulations be amended to provide for the safe
use of vitamin D2 heat-killed (``inactive'') baker's yeast
as a source of vitamin D2 in specific food categories.

DATES: The food additive petition was filed on September 28, 2021.

ADDRESSES: For access to the docket to read background documents or
comments received, go to https://www.regulations.gov and insert the
docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document into
the ``Search'' box and follow the prompts, and/or go to the Dockets

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 409(b)(5) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5)), we are giving notice that
we have filed a food additive petition (FAP 1A4829), submitted by
Lallemand Inc., 1620 rue Prefontaine, Montreal, Quebec, H1W 2N8,
Canada. The petition proposes to amend the food additive regulations in
21 CFR part 172, Food additives permitted for direct addition to food
for human consumption, to allow for the safe use of vitamin
D2 heat-killed bakers yeast as a nutrient supplement in
foods to which vitamin D2 mushroom powder is currently
allowed to be added under Sec.  172.382 (21 CFR 172.382), at the
maximum level of vitamin D2 authorized under Sec.  172.382.
    The petitioner has claimed a categorical exclusion under 21 CFR
25.32(k) because the substance is intended to remain in food through
ingestion by consumers and is not intended to replace macronutrients in
food. In addition, the petitioner has stated that, to their knowledge,
no extraordinary circumstances exist that would warrant at least an
environmental assessment (see 21 CFR 25.21). If FDA determines a
categorical exclusion applies, neither an environmental assessment nor
an environmental impact statement is required. If FDA determines a
categorical exclusion does not apply, we will request an environmental
assessment and make it available for public inspection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register on December 20, 2017 (82 FR 60403), FDA
announced the availability of a draft guidance for FDA staff and
industry entitled ``Drug Products Labeled as Homeopathic.'' This draft
guidance was intended to describe how FDA intends to prioritize
enforcement and regulatory action with regard to drug products,
including biological products, labeled as homeopathic and marketed in
the United States without the required FDA approval that potentially
pose higher risk to public health.
    In response to comments received, we have revised the draft
guidance and are reissuing it to enable the public to review and
comment before it is finalized. In particular, we have added a
definition of ``homeopathic drug product'' for purposes of the
guidance, added additional explanation of some of the safety issues
that contributed to the development of the draft guidance, and
clarified the intent to use risk-based factors to prioritize
enforcement and regulatory actions involving homeopathic products that
are marketed without required FDA approval. In addition, the revised
draft guidance removes the statement that the Agency will withdraw the
compliance policy guide (CPG) simultaneous with the issuance of the
final guidance. Elsewhere in this Federal Register, FDA is announcing
the withdrawal of CPG 400.400.
    This revised draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's
good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The revised draft
guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on
``Drug Products Labeled as Homeopathic.'' 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. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the draft guidance
at either https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm or

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0213; Project Identifier 2018-CE-036-AD; Amendment
39-21818; AD 2021-23-19]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pacific Aerospace Limited Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes. This AD
results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies
the unsafe condition as insufficient separation of ground terminations
for individual power sources and static grounds. This AD requires
inspecting and separating, if applicable, the battery and generator
common ground connections on the airframe. The FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 11, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 11,
2022.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain serial-numbered
Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes with the battery
installed within the engine bay at the firewall. The NPRM published in
the Federal Register on August 9, 2021 (86 FR 43446). The NPRM was
based on MCAI from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which is the
aviation authority for New Zealand. The CAA issued DCA/750XL/30, dated
July 5, 2018 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes.
The MCAI states:

    The ground connections for the individual power sources (BATT &
GEN [battery and generator]) have been connected at a common ground
point on the aircraft. DCA/750XL/30 is issued to mandate the
instructions in Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB)
PACSB/XL/104 issue 1, dated 2 May 2018, or later approved revision
to separate the common ground connection on the airframe for the
individual power sources (BATT & GEN).

    The CAA advises the root cause is a deviation from the approved
engineering data. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to the
loss of primary and secondary power sources from corrosion of the
ground connection or failure of the fastening hardware, which could
result in the simultaneous loss of multiple systems. According to the
CAA, this condition was observed on the production line and has been
corrected for new airplanes in production. The MCAI requires inspecting
the battery ground connections and separating the ground connections as
necessary. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-
0213.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require detecting and correcting
ground terminations with insufficient separation on individual power
sources and static grounds for continued airworthiness. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI. The
FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety requires
adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is adopted
as proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin
PACSB/XL/104, Issue 1, dated May 2, 2018. The service information
specifies procedures for inspecting the battery ground connections and
separating the ground connections as necessary. 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 23 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA also estimates that it would take about 1 work-hour per
airplane to comply with the grounding connection inspection of this AD.
The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the cost of the
inspection on U.S. operators to be $1,955, or $85 per airplane.
    In addition, the FAA estimates that any necessary action to
separate the connections would take about 3 work-hours and require
parts costing $25, for a cost of $280 per airplane. The FAA has no way
of determining the number of airplanes that may need these actions.
    The FAA has included all costs in this cost estimate. According to
the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this AD may be covered
under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

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

The Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

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

2021-23-19 Pacific Aerospace Limited: Amendment 39-21818; Docket No.
FAA-2021-0213; Project Identifier 2018-CE-036-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective January 11, 2022.

 (b) Affected ADs

 (e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as insufficient
separation of ground terminations for individual power sources and
static grounds. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct
ground terminations with insufficient separation, which could lead
to loss of primary and secondary power sources if the ground
connection fails and consequent simultaneous loss of multiple
airplane systems.

 (f) Compliance

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

 (g) Inspection and Corrective Action

    (1) Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD,
inspect the battery installation in the engine bay to determine if
the ground leads connect to a single ground stud as shown in the
Accomplishment Instructions, figure 2, of Pacific Aerospace
Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/104, Issue 1, dated May 2, 2018
(PACSB/XL/104I1).
    (2) If the ground leads connect to a single ground stud, before
further flight, separate the battery ground lead connections by
following the Accomplishment Instructions, steps 4 through 36, of
PACSB/XL/104I1.

 (h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, International Validation Branch, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:	EFED’s Calculation of Acute Risk Quotients for Freshwater and Marine Estuarine Fish Based on the Upgraded Mandipropamid Fish Toxicity Studies.

TO:			Tony Kish, Risk Manager

Registration Division (7505P)

FROM:		Fred Jenkins, Biologist

Environmental Fate and Effects Division

THROUGH:		Dana Spatz, Acting Branch Chief

Environmental Risk Branch II

Environmental Fate and Effects Division (7507P)

Previously Syngenta requested a classification upgrade (from unacceptable to acceptable) of several acute fish toxicity studies testing mandipropamid, including MRID’s 468001-03, 468001-04, 468001-05, and 468001-06.  EFED agreed with Syngenta’s rationale and request in a memo dated October 19, 2007: “EFED’s Response to Syngenta’s Request to Upgrade Several Mandipropamid Aquatic Toxicity Studies, DP Barcode D345152.”

Now that these studies are considered scientifically valid and acceptable, they can be used in an  ecological risk assessment.  The RQ’s resulting from these additional endpoints are included below.  We note that these studies do not indicate any additional risks of concern to those discussed in EFED’s Screening Level Ecological Risk Assessment for Mandipropamid dated  July 24, 2007.

According to the acute RQ values for freshwater and marine estuarine fish (Table 1), mandipropamid does not pose a risk to freshwater or marine/estuarine fish, above the Agency’s Level of Concern.  The RQs were calculated based on the most sensitive species tested.

Table 1. Acute RQs for Fish Exposed to Mandipropamid including its degradate of toxic concern, SYN500003 and SYN504851.
