Airworthiness Directives; HPH s. r.o. Gliders

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for HPH s.
r.o. Models Glasf[uuml]gel 304C, Glasf[uuml]gel 304CZ, and
Glasf[uuml]gel 304CZ-17 gliders. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as jamming between the double two-ring end of the towing
cable and the deflector angles of the center of gravity (C.G.) release
mechanism. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 23, 2019
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued AD
No. 2018-0207-E, dated September 19, 2018 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    Jamming between the double two ring end of the towing cable and
the deflector angles of the affected part [C.G. release mechanism]
was reported for certain Glasfaser-Flugzeug-Service sailplanes.
Subsequent investigation identified incorrect geometry of the
deflector angles of the affected part as likely cause of the
jamming. Consequently, EASA issued Emergency AD 2018-0143-E to
require repetitive inspections.
    Due to design similarities between Glasfaser Glasfl[uuml]gel 304
sailplanes and the HPH Glasfl[uuml]gel 304, it was determined that
the same unsafe condition could also affect those sailplanes.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
failure to disconnect the towing cable, possibly resulting in
reduced or loss of control of the sailplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, HPH, spol.s r.o.
issued the SB to provide inspection instructions and corrective
action.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive inspections of the affected part, and, depending on
findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective actions(s).

You may examine the MCAI on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-0202.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    HPH spol.s r.o. has issued Service bulletin No. G304 CZ-10 a), G304
CZ-17--10 a), G304 C-10 a), dated August 28, 2018 (co-published as one
document). The service information contains procedures for measuring
the distance between the deflector angles at the C.G. release and
modifying the distance between the deflector angles if 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 of this AD.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action. The MCAI requires repeating the
actions in this AD at each annual inspection. We plan to publish a
notice of proposed rulemaking for these requirements. The planned
compliance time for these repetitive measurements would allow enough
time to provide notice and opportunity for prior comment.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

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

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because this
condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to failure to
disconnect the towing cable, possibly resulting in losing of control of
the glider, which could cause injury to people on the ground if the
towing cable breaks during a winch launch. As such, operators must take
corrective action before the next launch of the glider. Therefore, we
determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before
issuing this AD are impracticable. In addition, for the reasons stated
above, we find that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2019-0202; Directorate
Identifier 2018-CE-050-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 45 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
measure the distance between the deflector angles. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $3,825, or $85 per product.
    We estimate that any modification of the deflector angles that may
be necessary as a result of the inspection will take about 4 work-hours
and require parts costing $100, for a cost of $440 per product. We have
no way of determining the number of products that may need these
actions.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to small airplanes, gliders,
balloons, airships, domestic business jet transport airplanes, and
associated appliances to the Director of the Policy and Innovation
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that 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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

II. Background

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    Using direct final procedures, EPA is updating the chemical
identity listings SNURs for 36 chemical substances which were the
subject of PMNs. The SNURs were previously issued using generic
chemical names. This action identifies the specific chemical name and
chemical abstract number in the modified SNUR, as this information is
now publicly available. EPA is not changing the significant new use
reporting requirements, the basis, or the findings for these SNURs.
These SNURs will continue to require persons to notify EPA at least 90
days before commencing the manufacture or processing of a chemical
substance for any activity designated by these SNURs as a significant
new use. Receipt of such notices allows EPA to assess risks that may be
presented by the intended uses and, if appropriate, to regulate the
proposed use before it occurs.
    Previously, in the Federal Register of July 28, 2009 (74 FR 37224)
(FRL-8392-4), EPA issued a notice ``TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory
Update; Changing Certain Chemical Substances Identities from
Confidential to Non-Confidential.'' The notice announced that the
specific chemical identities of various chemical substances, including
36 subject to the SNURs identified in this direct final rule, would be
listed on the public version of the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to
determine that a use of a chemical substance is a ``significant new
use.'' Once EPA determines that a use of a chemical substance is a
significant new use, TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B) requires persons to submit
a significant new use notice (SNUN) to EPA at least 90 days before they
manufacture or process the chemical substance for that use. Persons who
must report are described in Sec.  721.5.

III. Direct Final Procedures

    EPA is issuing these chemical identity changes as a direct final
rule, as described in Sec.  721.160(c)(3) and Sec.  721.170(d)(4). In
accordance with Sec.  721.160(c)(3)(ii) and Sec.  721.170(d)(4)(i)(B),
the effective date of this rule is August 18, 2014 without further
notice, unless EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or
notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments before July 18,
2014.
    If EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or notice of
intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on one or more of these
SNURs before July 18, 2014, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections of
this direct final rule before its effective date. EPA will then issue a
proposed SNUR for the chemical substance(s) on which adverse or
critical comments were received, providing a 30-day period for public
comment.
    This rule updates the chemical identity of SNURs for a number of
chemical substances. Any person who submits adverse or critical
comments, or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments,
must identify the chemical substance to which it applies. EPA will not
withdraw a SNUR modification for a chemical substance not identified in
the comment.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866

    This rule modifies SNURs for several new chemical substances that
were the subject of PMNs, or TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. This
action does not alter any obligations under these SNURs and therefore
is not a significant action under Executive Order 12866, entitled
``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    According to Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to a collection of information that requires OMB
approval under PRA, unless it has been approved by OMB and displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The information collection
requirements related to this action have already been approved by OMB
pursuant to PRA under OMB control number 2070-0012 (EPA ICR No. 574).
This action does not impose any burden requiring additional OMB
approval.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    This rule would provide more specific information on the chemical
substances subject to the SNURs affected by the rule, and therefore
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    Based on EPA's experience with proposing and finalizing SNURs,
State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by these
rulemakings, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any
State, local, or Tribal government will be impacted by this rule. As
such, EPA has determined that this rule does not impose any enforceable
duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any effect on
small governments subject to the

requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et
seq.).

E. Executive Order 13132

    This action will not have a substantial direct effect on 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132, entitled
``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).

F. Executive Order 13175

    This rule does not have Tribal implications because it is not
expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This rule
does not significantly nor uniquely affect the communities of Indian
Tribal governments, nor does it involve or impose any requirements that
affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order
13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply to this
rule.

G. Executive Order 13045

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045, entitled
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because this is not an
economically significant regulatory action as defined by Executive
Order 12866, and this action does not address environmental health or
safety risks disproportionately affecting children.

H. Executive Order 13211

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because
this action is not expected to affect energy supply, distribution, or
use and because this action is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    In addition, since this action does not involve any technical
standards, NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note), does not apply to
this action.

J. Executive Order 12898

    This action does not entail special considerations of environmental
justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898, entitled
``Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).

V. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

USEPA Randy McDonald RTI International David Randall North State Engineering Brenda Shine IV. Introduction On August 20, 2002, representatives of the American Chemical Council met with EPA and contractors to discuss provisions in the proposed Miscellaneous Organic Chemicals NESHAP ( MON). Attached to this memoranda are a meeting agenda and other information developed by ACC, and information developed by EPA.

The following general issues were discussed, as indicated in the ACC Meeting agenda ( see Attachment A): 1) Applicability, 2) Emission Limitations, 3) Compliance Dates, and 4) Miscellaneous Issues.

The paragraphs below summarize the discussion.

V. Discussion A. Applicability The ACC put together logic diagrams for applicability   these diagrams are the same diagrams contained in the written comments ( see Attachment B). Overall the commenter's concerns are that applicability should be clear. They believe this clarity comes from using the NAICS codes to define processes that make MON product. Additionally, there should be some consideration of deminimis levels and impurities. They suggest looking at the HON definitions. They believe that there should be a separate floor and analysis for inorganics ( HCl) emissions. Finally, they want EPA to consider simplifying the compliance strategy when there is overlap with other standards. This situation would most often occur when multipurpose processing equipment is used. They suggest using the primary product concept or an opt in concept and allowing compliance with either rule for all processes that share the equipment. In addition to these 3 overlapping MACT standards for non dedicated equipment, EPA also needs to consider overlap with the Organic Liquid Distribution NESHAP and Part 60 and 61 rules.

Industry and EPA also discussed the family of materials concept contained in the proposed rule. EPA had some prior discussions with 3M and summarized the additional concept being discussed related to regulating equipment that is in multipurpose use ( i. e., a vent based annual mass threshold, regardless of process, above which control is required). Several ACC representatives ( Eastman and Kodak) stated that they did not report emissions information on EPA's proposed groupings of families of materials.

B. Emission Limitations The discussion focused on differences in batch and continuous operations. ACC's thoughts regarding the separation of continuous and batch vents have evolved somewhat from the position described in their written comments. They now believe a distinction is necessary between batch and continuous process vents, rather than processes. Another related issue is the definition of storage tank and process vent. An example concern is identical tanks in a tank farm that would be subject to different requirements only because they serve different functions. ACC submitted additional written comments regarding their preferred definitions for process vents, surge control vessels, and storage tanks ( see Attachment C). EPA also then presented additional information on a proposed solution to concerns raised by commenters ( see Attachment D). Under this approach, tanks with capacities less than 10,000 gallons would be considered either process vents or surge control vessels, depending on their function, and any tank over 10,000 would be considered a storage tank. Surge control vessels and bottoms receivers would be subject to the same requirements as storage tanks. The issues were not resolved during the meeting, but warrant additional review by both industry and EPA.

Additional concepts discussed were whether the rule should contain an allowance to route emission streams to fuel gas systems, using language like in the ethylene MACT to specify compliance requirements as in subpart SS for continuous process vents, exemptions for venting from opening of equipment for health and safety and for exemptions from equipment leak monitoring for components in high pressure systems which industry believes is a safety issue ( an example identified was polyethylene).

Another issue discussed was how to deal with aggregated vent streams. The ACC representatives favor the approach in subpart SS or subpart JJJ. The procedures in subpart JJJ were discussed, as was a potential variation offered by EPA ( see Attachment E).

C. Compliance Dates Issues discussed included an " opt in" early ( prior to the compliance date of the standards) to some of the standards   for example, the Subpart UU equipment leaks programs for all processes at a facility. Although the facilities could comply with UU for selected processes that 4 are covered by sources with applicability to the CAR, this takes a Title V permit change. Industry was unclear as to whether an opt in would trigger the same Title V revision process.

The ACC representatives reiterated their concern that requiring submittal of the notification of compliance status report on the compliance date rather than 150 days after the compliance date does not allow enough time to meet all of the compliance requirements, and it is inconsistent with the General Provisions and other rules. They also asked about the provision in other rules that allows up to 10 years to comply with the seal requirements for storage tanks equipped with internal or external floating roofs. This issue was resolved by pointing out that Table 4 of proposed subpart FFFF references § 63.1063( a) of subpart WW, which contains the requested language.

D. Miscellaneous Issues Miscellaneous items include whether a policy decision was made regarding removal of specific QA/ QC provisions in favor of QA/ QC in the general provisions, whether the MACT floors that the MON proposal was based on were valid and whether EPA was inclined to revise some of their technical analyses. EPA questionned ACC's comments related to the equipment leaks MACT floor  the written comments do not match EPA's database. EPA is also reviewing the wastewater MACT floor analysis and will develop a separate floor for methanol and solubles. The minimum applicability concentration appears to be 30,000 ppmw based on these analyses. The remaining floors probably will not be revised.

VI. Action Items A. ACC Members 1. Provide examples of large vessels that have floating roofs subject to subpart Kb and are receiving material from batch reactors.

2. Provide information on batch and/ or continuous characteristics of dryers.

3. Reexamine ACC comments on LDAR programs assigned to processes in the EPA database ( see comments on pages 68 70 of the ACC comments).

B. EPA 1. Look into the option of allowing facilities to opt in to the LDAR requirements of subpart UU before the compliance date.

2. Develop MACT floor for HCl emissions from process vents.

3. Continue to develop the " family of materials" concept. 5 4. Continue to examine options for process vents and storage tanks.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change and Amendments No. 1 and 2
Thereto To Modify the Fee for Connecting to a Nasdaq Data Center Over
the Internet

March 13, 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 December 22, 2006, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which
Items have been substantially prepared by Nasdaq. On January 19, 2007,
Nasdaq submitted Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. On
February 22, 2007, Nasdaq submitted Amendment No. 2 to the proposed
rule change.\3\ The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 2 replaced and superseded the original filing
and Amendment No. 1 in their entirety.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Nasdaq proposes to amend Rule 7034 to modify the fee for connecting
to a Nasdaq data center over the Internet. The text of the proposed
rule change is

available at Nasdaq, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.nasdaq.com
.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this filing is to change the fee that Nasdaq charges
for an Internet port used in the delivery of market data (Internet
ports are currently available to connect to Nasdaq systems via the INET
protocols) and to make certain conforming and clerical changes in the
text of Nasdaq Rule 7034, which sets out charges for Nasdaq
connectivity via the INET protocols.
    Following the recently completed consolidation of Nasdaq's three
order books and corresponding matching engines--INET, Brut, and
SuperMontage--into a single book (``SingleBook'') within the Nasdaq
Market Center (``NMC''), Nasdaq users have retained the ability to
connect with the NMC using the legacy access protocols of all three
systems. Access to the NMC via secure Internet connectivity is one of
several options available to INET protocol users both for entering
orders and for receiving market data. (The number of customers
currently using an Internet port to receive market data is relatively
small. Legacy SuperMontage and Brut protocols do not currently include
Internet access.) Other NMC connectivity options include extranet
connectivity, where a user contracts directly with a third-party
extranet provider, and private line connectivity, where a user leases a
circuit directly from a third-party provider.
    Today, Nasdaq charges INET protocol users an additional $200 (in
addition to the established charges for port pairs) for each port used
to connect to a Nasdaq data center over the Internet because making
such ports available requires Nasdaq to procure and maintain
appropriate telecommunications circuits connecting its data centers to
the points-of-presence of an Internet service provider. By contrast, in
the case of extranet and private circuit connections, Nasdaq is not
responsible for the outside telecommunications circuits.
    Since the introduction of Nasdaq's SingleBook, the volume of market
data being delivered from Nasdaq to subscribers has increased from a
peak of approximately 5Mbs at the end of October of 2006 to a peak of
approximately 25Mbs as of the date of this filing. Consequently, in
order to continue to adequately support Internet market data
connections, Nasdaq expanded its available Internet bandwidth. In light
of the expanded Internet bandwidth requirements, Nasdaq proposes to
increase its Internet port fee from $200 to $600 per Internet port that
is used to deliver market data. The additional Internet port fee with
respect to Internet ports used for order entry will remain unchanged at
the current $200 level.
    The proposed rule change also eliminates from the rule text
references to the locations of data centers (because the relevant fees
will not vary based on data center location) and it eliminates the
reference to and pricing for Instinet Portal (a product now available
from INET's former owner, Instinet, which INET was supporting on a
transitional basis). Finally, the proposed rule change makes a clerical
correction to the currently incomplete reference to SR-NASDAQ-2006-024
in the existing rule text.
2. Statutory Basis
    Nasdaq believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\4\ in general, and with
Sections 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ in particular, in that the proposal
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members and issuers and other persons using any
facility or system which Nasdaq operates or controls.

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

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

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

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) As the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or (ii) as to
which Nasdaq consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change; or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:I am an ulcerative colitis patient. Like many who develop this ADA-recognized condition, mine emerged after I quit smoking cigarettes. After nearly dying twice - once from dehydration and once from PREDNISONE - I reluctantly began smoking cigarettes again. I went into remission.

Smoking, however, was literally killing me. Once I learned about and researched eCigs, however, I decided to make the switch. Within a week, my coughing stopped. My resting heart rate dropped. My blood pressure normalized. I have remained in remission for close to a DECADE. And I haven't smoked a cigarette since.

It is doubtful that my story is common, but there are surely others out there who utilize eCigs "medicinally". After lower and appellate courts ruled that the FDA was out of its depth on the issue, it has come as quite a surprise that there is now a backlash against the product and that the FDA has renewed its efforts to become involved.

I ask that the comment period be extended so that stories like mine can be told and considered. Thank you.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA--2015-0005]

Notice of Buy America Waiver

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of Buy America waiver.

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

SUMMARY: This notice provides NHTSA's finding with respect to a request
to waive the requirement of Buy America from the Traffic Safety Office
(TSO) of the Ohio Department of Public Safety. NHTSA finds that a non-
availability waiver of the Buy America requirement is appropriate for
the purchase of printers using Federal highway traffic safety grant
funds because there are no suitable products produced in the United
States.

DATES: The effective date of this waiver is March 2, 2015. Written
comments regarding this notice may be submitted to NHTSA and must be
received on or before: March 11, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be submitted using any one of the
following methods:
     Mail: Docket Management Facility, M-30, U.S. Department of
Transportation, West Building, Ground Floor, Rm. W12-140, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.
     Fax: Written comments may be faxed to<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Internet: To submit comments electronically, go to the
Federal regulations Web site at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
online instructions for submitting comments.
     Hand Delivery: West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140,
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time,
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
    Instructions: All comments submitted in relation to this waiver
must include the agency name and docket number. Please note that all
comments received will be posted without change to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided. You
may also call the Docket at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For program issues, contact Barbara
Sauers, Office of Regional Operations and Program Delivery, NHTSA
(phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>). For legal issues, contact Andrew DiMarsico,
Office of Chief Counsel, NHTSA (phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>). You may send mail
to these officials at the National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC
20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice provides NHTSA's finding that a
waiver of the Buy America requirement, 23 U.S.C. 313, is appropriate
for Ohio's TSO to purchase printers using grant funds authorized under
23 U.S.C. 405(c) (section 405) and its predecessor, 23 U.S.C. 408.\1\
Section 405(c) funds are available for use by State highway traffic
safety programs to support the development and implementation of
effective State programs that, among other things, improve the
timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, integration, and
accessibility of State traffic safety data. 23 U.S.C. 405(c)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 23 U.S.C. 408 was repealed by the Moving Ahead for Progress
in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act, Public Law 112-141 Sec.  31109(d),
126 Stat. 756 (2012), and recodified at 23 U.S.C. 405(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Buy America provides that NHTSA ``shall not obligate any funds
authorized to be appropriated to carry out the Surface Transportation
Assistance Act of 1982 (96 Stat. 2097) or [Title 23] and administered
by the Department of Transportation, unless steel, iron, and
manufactured products used in such project are produced in the United
States.'' 23 U.S.C. 313. However, NHTSA may waive those requirements if
``(1) their application would be inconsistent with the public interest;
(2) such materials and products are not produced in the United States
in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory
quality; or (3) the inclusion of domestic material will increase the
cost of the overall project contract by more than 25 percent.'' 23
U.S.C. 313(b). In this instance, NHTSA has determined that a non-
availability waiver is appropriate for the printers that Ohio's TSO
seeks to purchase using Federal grant funds.
    Ohio's TSO seeks a waiver to purchase 250 Brother Pocket Jet 6 Plus
printer vehicle kits at $468.90 per unit to be used in Ohio's mobile
ticketing e-citation system and software package as part of a pilot
program.\2\ Ohio indicates that it has used the Brother printer in
enforcement vehicles for several years and it has proven to be a
durable mobile printing device for the type of environment they are
used in and the applications used by law enforcement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ As part of its initial request, TSO sought a waiver for
vehicle printer mounts. However, TSO has withdrawn its waiver
request for those items.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ohio's TSO is unable to identify any domestically manufactured
mobile printers that meet the requirements specified for the mobile
printers for use in its enforcement vehicles.\3\ NHTSA conducted
similar assessments \4\ and was unable to locate domestic manufacturers
of mobile printers with the specifications required by Ohio's TSO.
Since a mobile printer that meets the requirements identified by TSO
for use by its police officers is unavailable from a domestic
manufacturer, the Buy America waiver is appropriate. NHTSA invites
public comment on this conclusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ TSO requires mobile printers that are small (10.04'' long x
2.17'' width x 1.18'' height), 300 x 300 DPI, Bluetooth enabled,
direct thermal, uses full letter size page (8\1/2\'' x 11'') and
prints at 6 pages per minute.
    \4\ NHTSA conducted internet searches and reviewed several Web
sites that catalog products domestic made products: www.usaonly.us;
www.americansworking.com; www.madeinamericaforever.com;
www.unionbuiltpc.com and www.madeinusa.org.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In light of the above discussion, and pursuant to 23 U.S.C.
313(b)(2), NHTSA finds that it is appropriate to grant a waiver of the
Buy America requirement to TSO in order to purchase 250 Brother Pocket
Jet 6 Plus printer vehicle kits. This waiver applies to Ohio and all
other States seeking to use section 405(c) and eligible section 408
funds to purchase 250 Brother Pocket Jet 6 Plus printer vehicle kits
for the purposes mentioned herein. This waiver will continue through
fiscal year 2015 and will allow the purchase of these items as required
for Ohio's TSO. Accordingly, this waiver will expire at the conclusion
of fiscal year 2015 (September 30, 2015). In accordance with the
provisions of Section 117 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy of Users Technical Corrections Act
of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-244, 122 Stat. 1572), NHTSA is providing this
notice as its finding that a waiver of the Buy America requirement is
appropriate for the Brother Pocket Jet 6 Plus printer vehicle kits.
    Written comments on this finding may be submitted through any of
the methods discussed above. NHTSA may reconsider this finding, if
through comment, it learns of additional relevant information regarding
its decisions to grant and deny TSO's waiver request.
    This finding should not be construed as an endorsement or approval
of any products by NHTSA or the U.S. Department of Transportation. The
United States Government does not endorse products or manufacturers.

    Authority: 23 U.S.C. 313; Pub. L. 110-161.

    Issued in Washington, DC, under authority delegated in 49 CFR
part 1.95.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2023-0081]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on September 18, 2023,
Metrolink (SCAX); Alstom; Hallcon Corporation; and the International
Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers
(collectively, ``Petitioners''), petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 240
(Qualification and Certification of Locomotive Engineers) and part 242
(Qualification and Certification of Conductors). FRA assigned the
petition Docket Number FRA-2023-0081.
    Specifically, Petitioners request relief required to participate in
FRA's Confidential Close Call Reporting System (C\3\RS) Program.
Petitioners seek to shield reporting employees from mandatory punitive
sanctions that would otherwise arise as provided in Sec. Sec.
240.117(e)(1)-(4); 240.305(a)(1)-(4) and (a)(6); 240.307; 242.403(b),
(c), (e)(1)-(4), (e)(6)-(11), (f)(1)-(2); and 242.407. The C\3\RS
Program encourages certified operating crew members to report close
calls and protects the employees and the railroad from discipline or
sanctions arising from the incidents reported per the C\3\RS
Implementing Memorandum of Understanding.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested parties
desire an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted at www.regulations.gov.
Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.
    Communications received by January 16, 2024 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable.
    Anyone can search the electronic form of any written communications
and comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the
individual submitting the comment (or signing the document, if
submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.).
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the public to better
inform its processes. 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/
