14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0278; Directorate Identifier 2010-NE-10-AD;
Amendment 39-16901; AD 2011-26-11]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company (GE) GE90-
110B1 and GE90-115B Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above, with certain part number (P/N) high-pressure
compressor (HPC) stages 2-5 spools installed. This AD was prompted by
an aborted takeoff caused by liberation of small pieces from the HPC
stages 1-2 seal teeth and two shop findings of cracks in the seal
teeth. This AD requires eddy current inspection (ECI) or spot
fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) of the stages 1-2 seal teeth of
the HPC stages 2-5 spool for cracks. This AD only allows installation
of either HPC stator stage 1 interstage seals that are pregrooved or
previously worn seals with acceptable wear marks to prevent heavy rubs.
We are issuing this AD to detect cracks in the HPC stages 1-2 seal
teeth due to heavy rubs that could result in failure of the seal of the
HPC stages 2-5 spool, uncontained engine failure, and damage to the
airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective February 3, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of February 3,
2012.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this proposed AD,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 26, 2011 (76 FR
30573). That NPRM proposed to require ECI or spot FPI of the stages 1-2
seal teeth of the HPC stages 2-5 spool for cracks and to prohibit
installation of HPC stator stage 1 interstage seals that are not
pregrooved to prevent heavy rubs.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Remove Reference to ``Uncontained Engine Failure and Damage to the
Airplane''

    Two commenters, Boeing Company (Boeing) and GE, wanted us to remove
the reference to ``uncontained engine failure, and damage to the
airplane'' from the Summary and Unsafe Condition paragraphs. GE claimed
that all instances to date of material liberation have been contained.
The commenters further stated that it has been demonstrated that once
the crack reaches the aft tooth, it turns circumferentially, which
minimizes the amount of material liberated.
    We disagree. While all of the fractures to date have resulted in
small pieces that are contained by the engine case, the direction that
the crack will propagate cannot be determined with great certainty.
Cracks propagating into the seal will result in a more substantial
failure of the HPC stages 1-2 seal. Historical experience has shown
that catastrophic failure of critical rotating engine parts can result
in an uncontained engine failure that can damage the airplane. We did
not change the AD based on this comment.

Request Change to Service Bulletin Reference

    Two commenters, Boeing and GE, requested that we change the
``Previous Credit'' section by replacing ``SB GE90-100 S/B 72-0320,
Revision 01, dated May 11, 2010 or earlier revision'' with ``SB GE90-
100 S/B 72-0320, Revision 02, dated October 1, 2010, or earlier
version.'' The commenters indicated that the NPRM (76 FR 30573, May 26,
2011) mandates accomplishment of GE Service Bulletin (SB) GE90-100 S/B
72-0320, Revision 02, dated October 1, 2010, and therefore it would be
consistent to provide credit for accomplishment of GE SB GE90-100 S/B
72-0320, Revision 02, dated October 1, 2010, or an earlier revision.
    We agree. We changed the reference in the service bulletin to
Revision 02 in the Previous Credit paragraph.

Request To Allow Reinstallation of Previously Worn Seals

    Three commenters, FedEx, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways,
requested that the FAA allow the installation of previously worn seals.
Use of these seals is allowed by GE SB GE90-100 S/B 72-0360.
    We agree. We replaced the Installation Prohibition paragraph in the
AD with a new paragraph called ``Installation of HPC Stator Stage 1
Interstage Seals'' to allow for the installation of previously worn
seals. Refer to GE SB GE90-100 S/B 72-360, Revision 04, dated November
7, 2011, for seals eligible for installation.

Request Change in Installation Prohibition Section

    FedEx requested that wording in the ``Installation Prohibition''
section that states ``do not install any HPC forward case unless it has
an HPC stator stage 1 interstage seals, P/N 351-109-503-0'' be changed
to ``allow the installation of previously worn seals and/or potential
future (post-SB 72-0358) interstage seal configurations.'' FedEx
indicated that the current wording unnecessarily prohibits the
installation of any forthcoming design improvements to the interstage
seals that GE might develop.
    We partially agree. We agree with use of a previously worn
interstage seal because a worn interstage seal could prevent the HPC
stages 2-5 spool from cracking. We disagree with use of the phrase
``potential future (post-SB 72-0358) interstage seal configurations''
because the AD compliance section can only mandate the use of currently
approved designs. We added a new paragraph called ``Installation of HPC
Stator Stage 1 Interstage Seals,'' which allows for the installation of
previously worn seals.

Remove Reference to Pregrooved Seals

    GE stated that the AD requires the HPC module be reassembled with
pregrooved seals. GE indicated that this requirement to use pregrooved
seals is beyond the inspection requirements in GE90-100 S/B 72-0320. GE
said that the inclusion of pregrooved seal references would cause
disagreement with the ``Relevant Service Information'' and ``Previous
Credit'' paragraphs which refer only to the inspection requirement in
GE90-100 S/B 72-0320.
    We disagree. This AD is issued to mitigate a safety issue caused by
failure of the HPC stages 2-5 spool stages 1-2 seal. Reassembling the
HPC module with a pregrooved seal would prevent the heavy rubs that
result in HPC stages 2-5 spool stages 1-2 seal failure. We did not
change the AD based on this comment.

Request Correction to Address

    GE requested that its address in the Addresses paragraph be revised
to correct a missing space.
    We agree. We corrected the GE address in the Addresses paragraph of
the AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     [Agr]re consistent with the intent that was proposed in
the NPRM (76 FR 30573, May 26, 2011) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 30573, May 26, 2011).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 19 GE90-110B1 and GE90-115B
engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it will take about

2 work-hours per engine to perform the proposed actions, and that the
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about
$9,857 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost
of this AD to U.S. operators to be $190,513.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    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 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.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1708]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before July 10, 2017.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1708, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
For communities with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies
can be identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM
date listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and
FIS report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA
Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP16-456-000]

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on May 6, 2016, Southern Star Central Gas
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 4700 State Highway 56, Owensboro,
Kentucky 42301, filed in Docket No. CP15-456-000, an application
pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the
Commission's regulations, requesting approval to abandon the Shidler
Line in Osage County, Oklahoma. The abandonment will not adversely
affect any current customers served off the Shidler Line. Specifically,
the project consists of abandoning in place approximately 31 miles of
16-inch pipeline and associated facilities to avert additional cost
necessary for further evaluations, reconditioning and maintenance of
the pipe, in order to meet DOT/PHMSA compliance, all as more fully set
forth in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY,
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
David N. Roberts, Analyst Staff, Regulatory Compliance, Southern Star
Central Gas Pipeline, Inc., 4700 State Highway 56, Owensboro, Kentucky
42301, phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>, or, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 7 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    There is an ``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that enables
subscribers to receive email notification when a document is added to a
subscribed docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service,
please email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call<PHONE_NUMBER> (toll
free). For TTY, call<PHONE_NUMBER>.

    Rule 23c-1, OMB Control No. 3235-0260, SEC File No. 270-253.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 350l-3520), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 23c-1(a) under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR 270.23c-
1(a)) permits a closed-end fund to repurchase its securities for cash
if, in addition to the other requirements set forth in the rule, the
following conditions are met: (i) Payment of the purchase price is
accompanied or preceded by a written confirmation of the purchase
(``written confirmation''); (ii) the asset coverage per unit of the
security to be purchased is disclosed to the seller or his agent
(``asset coverage disclosure''); and (iii) if the security is a stock,
the fund has, within the preceding six months, informed stockholders of
its intention to purchase stock (``six month notice''). Commission
staff estimates that 78 closed-end funds undertake a total of 702
repurchases annually under rule 23c-1.\1\ Staff estimates further that,
with respect to each repurchase, each fund spends 2.5 hours to comply
with the rule's written confirmation, asset coverage disclosure and six
month notice requirements. Thus, Commission staff estimates the total
annual respondent reporting burden is 1755 hours.\2\ Commission staff
further estimates that the cost of the hourly burden per repurchase is
$295 (one half hour of a compliance attorney's time at $334 per
hour,\3\ and two hours of clerical time at $64 per hour \4\). The total
annual cost for all funds is estimated to be $207,090.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The number of closed-end funds that undertake repurchases
annually under rule 23c-1 is based on information provided in
response to Item 9 of Form N-CSR from December 30, 2013 through
December 30, 2014. Although 112 closed-end funds made disclosures
regarding ``publicly announced'' repurchase plans in response to
Item 9, not all repurchases are made pursuant to rule 23c-1. We
estimate that approximately 30% of such closed-end funds have not
made repurchases pursuant to rule 23c-1. Therefore, our estimate
does not include all 112 funds that made disclosures of publicly
announced repurchases under Item 9, but only a subset thereof.
    \2\ This estimate is based on the following calculation: 702
repurchases x 2.5 hours per repurchase = 1755 hours.
    \3\ The $334/hour figure for a compliance attorney is from
SIFMA's Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities
Industry 2013, modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-
hour work-year and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm
size, employee benefits and overhead.
    \4\ The $64/hour figure for a compliance clerk is from SIFMA's
Office Salaries in the Securities Industry 2013, modified by
Commission staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year and
multiplied by 2.93 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee
benefits and overhead.
    \5\ This estimate is based on the following calculation: 702
repurchases x $295 per repurchase = $207,090.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the fund must file with the Commission a copy of any
written solicitation to purchase securities given by or on behalf of
the fund to 10 or more persons. The copy must be filed as an exhibit to
Form N-CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and 274.128).\6\ The burden associated

with filing Form N-CSR is addressed in the submission related to that
form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In addition, Item 9 of Form N-CSR requires closed-end funds
to disclose information similar to the information that was required
in Form N-23C-1, which was discontinued in 2004.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of
the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Pamela Dyson, Acting
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
C/O Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549; or send
an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

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

General Comment:May 11, 2014

Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they offer me an opportunity to improve the quality of my life. I wish to provide you with my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

end on May 9, 2022. NHTSA is extending the comment period for the March
9, 2022 RFC notice by 30 days.

Avenue SE, West Building, Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 9, 2022, pursuant to fulfilling the
FAST Act directive and section 24213 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law, NHTSA published an RFC notice announcing its current and future
plans for updating NCAP (87 FR 13452). The RFC notice included
significant upgrades to NCAP, including (1) proposing to add four new
advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technologies, (2) proposing to
strengthen the current test procedures for certain existing ADAS
technologies, (3) proposing a near- and long-term roadmap for future
NCAP updates, (4) discussing various approaches on the development of a
new rating system for ADAS technologies, (5) discussing the rulemaking
process to update the NCAP safety information on the Monroney label
that includes a comprehensive consumer research, and (6) seeking
comment on emerging technologies to help people make safe driving
choices. The comment period for the RFC notice is scheduled to end on
May 9, 2022.

Comment Period Extension Requests

    The Alliance for Automotive Innovation and the Motor & Equipment
Manufacturers Association submitted a joint letter on March 25, 2022,
requesting a 30-day extension of the comment period. The requestors
state that the RFC notice addresses several complex topics that would
require conducting in-depth review and analysis to develop informed
feedback. They suggest the additional time would allow them to conduct
the detailed review of the notice and develop responses to the more
than 100 questions and issues included in the notice. The requestors
state that the additional time would allow for more fully developed
feedback to support the agency's next steps.
    In a joint letter submitted to the Agency on April 15, 2022,
Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, Center for Auto Safety, Public
Citizen, National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies, Kids &
Cars Safety, Vision Zero Network, Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety, Society for the Advancement of Violence and Industry Research,
and Families for Safe Streets, request a 60-day extension of the
comment period. The requestors state that the RFC notice raises
numerous complex technical and policy issues that requires significant
analysis. They note that extending the comment period is in the public
interest as it would permit the public with sufficient time to provide
specific and thorough feedback on the many substantial questions raised
in the notice, and provide the requesters with time to consult with a
variety of experts and stakeholders.

Agency Decision

    Pursuant to 49 CFR 553.19 and after thorough consideration of the
requests with various extension periods, NHTSA determined that the
requestors have provided sufficient justification for an extension, and
that the extension is consistent with the public interest (49 CFR
553.19). NHTSA agrees that allowing additional time for the public and
its stakeholders to provide comments to the many questions raised in
the RFC notice would better inform NHTSA on its final decision on the
various program areas and topics discussed in the RFC notice.
Therefore, NHTSA is granting the aforementioned requests to extend the
comment period; however, NHTSA is extending it only for 30 days.
Section 24213 of the November 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,
enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, requires NHTSA
to publish its final decision on the NCAP upgrade by November 15, 2022.
A 30-day extension appropriately balances NHTSA's interest in providing
the public with sufficient time to comment on the numerous questions
raised in the RFC notice, with its interest to issue a final decision
on the NCAP upgrade in a timely manner.
    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 322, 30111, 30115, 30117, and 30166;
delegation of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 49 CFR 501.8.

    Issued in Washington, DC, under authority delegated in 49 CFR
1.95 and 501.8.
