21 CFR Part 866

[Docket No. FDA-2017-N-5290]

Medical Devices; Immunology and Microbiology Devices;
Classification of the Mass Spectrometer System for Clinical Use for the
Identification of Microorganisms

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final order.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is classifying
the mass spectrometer system for clinical use for the identification of
microorganisms into class II (special controls). The special controls
that apply to the device type are identified in this order and will be
part of the codified language for the mass spectrometer system for
clinical use for the identification of microorganisms' classification.
We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying
the device into class II (special controls) will provide a reasonable
assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this
action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative
devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.

DATES: This order is effective October 24, 2017. The classification was
applicable on August 21, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Tjoe, Center for Devices and
Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire
Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 4550, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Upon request, FDA has classified the mass spectrometer system for
clinical use for the identification of microorganisms as class II
(special controls), which we have determined will provide a reasonable
assurance of safety and effectiveness. In addition, we believe this
action will enhance patients' access to beneficial innovation, in part
by reducing regulatory burdens by placing the device into a lower
device class than the automatic class III assignment.
    The automatic assignment of class III occurs by operation of law
and without any action by FDA, regardless of the level of risk posed by
the new device. Any device that was not in commercial distribution
before May 28, 1976, is automatically classified as, and remains
within, class III and requires premarket approval unless and until FDA
takes an action to classify or reclassify the device (see 21 U.S.C.
360c(f)(1)). We refer to these devices as ``postamendments devices''
because they were not in commercial distribution prior to the date of
enactment of the Medical Device Amendments of 1976, which amended the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act).
    FDA may take a variety of actions in appropriate circumstances to
classify or reclassify a device into class I or II. We may issue an
order finding a new device to be substantially equivalent under section
513(i) of the FD&C Act to a predicate device that does not require
premarket approval (see 21 U.S.C. 360c(i)). We determine whether a new
device is substantially equivalent to a predicate by means of the
procedures for premarket notification under section 510(k) of the FD&C
Act and part 807 (21 U.S.C. 360(k) and 21 CFR part 807, respectively).
    FDA may also classify a device through ``De Novo'' classification,
a common name for the process authorized under section 513(f)(2) of the
FD&C Act. Section 207 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization
Act of 1997 established the first procedure for De Novo classification
(Pub. L. 105-115). Section 607 of the Food and Drug Administration
Safety and Innovation Act modified the De Novo application process by
adding a second procedure (Pub. L. 112-144). A device sponsor may
utilize either procedure for De Novo classification.
    Under the first procedure, the person submits a 510(k) for a device
that has not previously been classified. After receiving an order from
FDA classifying the device into class III under section 513(f)(1) of
the FD&C Act, the person then requests a classification under section
513(f)(2).
    Under the second procedure, rather than first submitting a 510(k)
and then a request for classification, if the person determines that
there is no legally marketed device upon which to base a determination
of substantial equivalence, that person requests a classification under
section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act.
    Under either procedure for De Novo classification, FDA shall
classify the device by written order within 120 days. The
classification will be according to the criteria under section
513(a)(1) of the FD&C Act. Although the device was automatically placed
within class III, the De Novo classification is considered to be the
initial classification of the device.
    We believe this De Novo classification will enhance patients'
access to beneficial innovation, in part by reducing regulatory
burdens. When FDA classifies a device into class I or II via the De
Novo process, the device can serve as a predicate for future devices of
that type, including for 510(k)s (see 21 U.S.C. 360c(f)(2)(B)(i)). As a
result, other device sponsors do not have to submit a De Novo request
or premarket approval application (PMA) in order to market a
substantially equivalent device (see 21 U.S.C. 360c(i), defining
``substantial equivalence''). Instead, sponsors can use the less-
burdensome 510(k) process, when necessary, to market their device.

II. De Novo Classification

    On January 3, 2013, bioM[eacute]rieux, Inc. submitted a request for
De Novo classification of the Vitek[supreg] MS. FDA reviewed the
request in order to classify the device under the criteria for
classification set forth in section 513(a)(1) of the FD&C Act. We
classify devices into class II if general controls by themselves are
insufficient to provide reasonable assurance of safety and
effectiveness, but there is sufficient information to establish special
controls that, in combination with the general controls, provide
reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device for
its intended use (see 21 U.S.C. 360c(a)(1)(B)). After review of the
information submitted in the request, we determined that the device can
be classified into class II with the establishment of special controls.
FDA has determined that these special controls, in addition to general
controls, will provide reasonable assurance of the safety and
effectiveness of the device.

    Therefore, on August 21, 2013, FDA issued an order to the requestor
classifying the device into class II. FDA is codifying the
classification of the device by adding 21 CFR 866.3361. We have named
the generic type of device mass spectrometer system for clinical use
for the identification of microorganisms, and it is identified as a
qualitative in vitro diagnostic device intended for the identification
of microorganisms cultured from human specimens. The device is
comprised of an ionization source, a mass analyzer, and a spectral
database. The device is indicated for use in conjunction with other
clinical and laboratory findings to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial
and fungal infections.
    FDA has identified the following risks to health associated
specifically with this type of device and the measures required to
mitigate these risks in table 1.

       Table 1--Mass Spectrometer System for Clinical Use for the
     Identification of Microorganisms Risks and Mitigation Measures

                                          efforts to mitigate the risk
                                          of failure to correctly
                                          operate the instrument.

                                          marketing the device.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FDA has determined that special controls, in combination with the
general controls, address these risks to health and provide reasonable
assurance of safety and effectiveness. In order for a device to fall
within this classification, and thus avoid automatic classification in
class III, it would have to comply with the special controls named in
this final order. The necessary special controls appear in the
regulation codified by this order. The device is subject to premarket
notification requirements under section 510(k).

III. Analysis of Environmental Impact

    The Agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.34(b) that this action is
of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This final order establishes special controls that refer to
previously approved collections of information found in other FDA
regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The collections of information in
part 807, subpart E, regarding premarket notification submissions have
been approved under OMB control number 0910-0120, the collections of
information in 21 CFR part 820 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0073, and the collections of information in 21 CFR parts
801 and 809, regarding labeling have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0485.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 866

    Biologics, Laboratories, Medical devices.

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR part
866 is amended as follows:

PART 866--IMMUNOLOGY AND MICROBIOLOGY DEVICES

0
1. The authority citation for part 866 continues to read as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Titles: FERC-520 (Application for Authority to Hold Interlocking
Directorate Positions), FERC Form 561 (Annual Report of Interlocking
Positions), and FERC-566 (Annual Report of a Utility's 20 Largest
Purchasers).
    OMB Control Nos.: FERC-521 (1902-0083); FERC-561 (1902-0099); FERC-
566 (1902-0114).
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-521, FERC Form
561, and FERC-566 information collection requirements with no changes
to the current reporting requirements.
    Abstract: The Federal Power Act (FPA), as amended by the Public
Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA), mandates federal
oversight and approval of certain electric corporate activities to
ensure that neither public nor private interests are adversely
affected. Accordingly, the FPA proscribes related information filing
requirements to achieve this goal. Such filing requirements are found
in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), specifically in 18 CFR Parts
45, 46, and Section 131.31 and serve the basis for FERC-520, Form 561,
and FERC-566.
    Overview of the Three Data Collections. FERC-520, Form 561 and
FERC-566 provide views into complex electric corporate activities and
serve to safeguard public and private interests, as the FPA requires.
The Commission can use its enforcement authority when violations and
omissions of FPA requirements occur.
    FERC-520: FERC-520 is divided into two types of applications: Full
and informational. The full application, as specified in 18 CFR 45.8,
implements the FPA requirement under Section 305(b) that it is unlawful
for any person to concurrently hold the positions of officer or
director of more than one public utility; or a public utility and a
bank or financial institution that underwrites or markets public
utility securities; or a public utility and an electrical equipment
supplier to that public utility unless authorized by order of the
Commission. In order to obtain authorization, an applicant must
demonstrate that neither public nor private interests will be adversely
affected by the holding of the position. The full application provides
Commission staff with a list of certain information about any
interlocking position for which he/she seeks authorization including,
but not limited to, a description of duties, estimated time devoted to
the position, and any indebtedness to the public utility. The
informational application, as specified in 18 CFR 45.9, allows an
applicant to receive automatic authorization for an interlocked
position upon receipt of filing with the FERC. The informational
application applies only to those individuals who seek authorization as
(1) an officer or director of two or more public utilities where the
same holding company owns, directly or indirectly, that percentage of
each utility's stock (of whatever class or classes) which is required
by each utility's by-laws to elect directors; (2) an officer or
director of two public utilities, if one utility is owned, wholly or in
part, by the other and, as its primary business, owns and operates
transmission or generation facilities to provide transmission service
or electric power for sale to its owners; or (3) an officer or director
of more than one public utility, if such person is already authorized
under Part 45 to hold different positions as officer or director of
those utilities where the interlock involves affiliated public
utilities.
    Pursuant to 18 CFR 45.5, in the event that an applicant resigns or
withdraws from all Commission-authorized interlocked positions within a
corporate structure or is not re-elected or re-appointed to any
interlocked position within that corporate structure, FERC requires
that the applicant submit a notice of change within 30 days from the
date of the change.
    FERC Form 561: The Commission uses FERC Form 561 to implement the
FPA requirement that those who are authorized to hold interlocked
directorates annually disclose all the interlocked positions they held
the prior year. The positions that must be disclosed in the Form 561
are those

public utility officers and directors that hold positions with
financial institutions, insurance companies, utility equipment and fuel
providers, and with any of an electric utility's twenty largest
purchasers of electric energy. The FPA specifically defines most of the
information elements in the Form 561, including the information that
must be filed, the required filers, the directive to make the
information available to the public, and the filing deadline. The
Commission determined administrative aspects of the Form 561 such as
the filing format and instructions for filling out the form.
    FERC-566: FERC-566 implements FPA requirements that each public
utility annually publish a list of the purchasers of the 20 largest
annual amounts of electric energy sold by such public utility during
any one of 3 previous calendar years pursuant to rules prescribed by
the Commission. The public disclosure of this information provides
officers and directors with the information necessary to determine
whether any of the entities with whom they are related are any of the
largest 20 purchasers of the public utility with which they are
affiliated. Similar to the statutory detail in the FPA for Form 561,
the FPA identifies who must file the FERC-566 report and sets the
filing deadline. Additionally, the FPA specifies that those entities
required to report who have a holding company system can calculate
their total volumes of energy sold by including the amounts sold by
utilities within their holding company system. The FERC details in its
regulations special rules about the information to be provided in the
FERC-566 report. For example, FERC allows required filers to file
estimates of volumes based on actual information available to them if
actual volumes are not available by the statutory due date. However,
the FERC also requires revisions of those filed estimates with final
numbers by March 1st.
    Type of Respondents: Individuals who plan to concurrently become
board members of regulated electric utilities and of related or similar
businesses must request authorization by submitting a FERC-520. Those
who are authorized to hold interlocked directorates must annually
disclose all the interlocked positions that they held in the prior
calendar year by submitting a Form 561. Lastly, each public utility
must annually publish the FERC-566 to list the purchasers of the 20
largest annual amounts of electric energy sold by such public utility
during any one of 3 previous calendar years pursuant to rules
prescribed by the Commission.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the total
Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal
agency. For further explanation of what is included in the
information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54317; File No. SR-Amex-2006-70]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto
Relating to the Application of Certain Violations of the Minor Rule
Violation Fine Plan to Registered Options Traders, Supplemental
Registered Options Traders, and Remote Registered Options Traders

August 15, 2006.
    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 July 31, 2006, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or
``Exchange'') 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 prepared by Amex. On August 14,
2006, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 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\ In Amendment No. 1, Amex provided a specific paragraph
citation for the violation of Rule 958--ANTE (relating to the
restriction on ROTs quoting outside their assigned option class),
modified the description of this particular violation and similar
violations under the SROT and RROT rules, and corrected an omission
in the original proposed rule text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Amex Rule 590, which codifies the
Exchange's Minor Rule Violation Fine Plan, to include additional
violations of certain rules applicable to Registered Options Traders
(``ROTs''), Supplemental Registered Options Traders (``SROTs''), and
Remote Registered Options Traders (``RROTs'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on Amex's Web
site at http://www.amex.com, at Amex'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, as
amended, and discussed any comments it received on the proposal. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Amex Rule 590, the Minor Rule
Violation Fine Plan, to include the violations of certain rules
applicable to ROTs, SROTs, and RROTs.
    The Exchange's Minor Rule Violation Fine Plan provides a simplified
procedure for the resolution of minor rule violations. Codified in Amex
Rule 590, the Minor Rule Violation Fine Plan has three distinct
sections: Part 1 (``General Rule Violations''), which covers more
substantive matters that, nonetheless, are deemed ``minor'' by the
Commission and Amex; Part 2 (``Floor Decorum''), which covers Floor
Decorum and operational matters; and Part 3 (``Reporting Violations''),
which covers the late submission of routine reports.
    Part I of Rule 590 paragraph (g) applies to members, member
organizations, approved persons, or employees of members or member
organizations. In this regard, the Exchange proposes to amend Part 1 of
Rule 590 to include additional violations of certain rules applicable
to ROTs, SROTs, and RROTs. The proposal includes the addition of the
failure to comply with ROT, SROT, and RROT quoting requirements,
pursuant to Rules 958-ANTE (h)(iii), 993-ANTE (c)(ii), and 994-ANTE
(c)(iv).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange's SROT and RROT programs were recently approved
by the Commission on April 12, 2006 and April 13, 2006,
respectively. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53635 (April
12, 2006), 71 FR 20144 (April 19, 2006) (order approving the SROT
program); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53652 (April 13,
2006), 71 FR 20422 (April 20, 2006) (order approving the RROT
program).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 958-ANTE (h)(iii) provides that if a ROT transacted 20% or
more of his or her contract volume electronically, and not through open
outcry, during any calendar quarter, then for the next quarter he or
she would have an electronic quoting obligation. This analysis is
performed separately for each ROT's assigned option classes. The
required percentage varies from 20% to 60% depending on the contract
volume executed electronically on the Amex, in that option class, by
all Amex market participants. Rules 993-ANTE (c)(ii) and 994-ANTE
(c)(iv) require SROTs and RROTs to provide continuous two-sided
quotations in accordance with Rule 958-ANTE (c), in at least 60% of the
series of their assigned classes.
    Furthermore, the Exchange proposes to include as a violation, the
restriction on quoting outside assigned classes, as set forth in Rule
958-ANTE (a), Commentary .03 to Rule 993-ANTE, and 994-ANTE (c)(iii).
Commentary .03 to Rule 993-ANTE provides that a SROT may act in a
market-making capacity only in the option classes to which it is
assigned, while Rule 994-ANTE (c)(iii) states that a RROT may not enter
quotations electronically from outside the trading crowd in options
classes in which it is not assigned as an RROT.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with Section 6 of the Act \5\ in general and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \6\ in particular in that it is designed
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that proposed rule change would
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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 the Exchange 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, as amended, is consistent with the Act. Comments may be
submitted by any of the following methods:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Report of
Inspections Required by Airworthiness Directives

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on November 22, 2011, vol. 76, no. 225, page 72237.
Airworthiness Directives are regulations issued to require correct
corrective action to correct unsafe conditions in aircraft, engines,
propellers, and appliances. Reports of inspections are often needed
when emergency corrective action is taken to determine if the action
was adequate to correct the unsafe condition. The respondents are
aircraft owners and operators.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by February 27, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by
email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0056.
    Title: Report of Inspections Required by Airworthiness Directives.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this

    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Title 14 CFR part 39, Airworthiness Directives (AD),
authorized by Sec. Sec.  40113(a), 44701, and 44702 of Title 49 United
States Code, prescribes how the FAA issues ADs. The FAA issues ADs when
an unsafe condition is discovered on a specific aircraft type. If the
condition is serious enough and more information is needed to develop
corrective action, specific information may be required from aircraft
owners/operators. If it is necessary for the aircraft manufacturer or
airworthiness authority to evaluate the information, owners/operators
will be instructed to send the information to them.
    Respondents: Approximately 1,120 aircraft owners/operators.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,080 hours.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be

Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC
20503.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30731 ; Amdt. No. 3380]

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

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final Rule.

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

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

DATES: This rule is effective July 8, 2010. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of July 8, 2010.

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

For Examination

OK. 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

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

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedures before adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in
less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule '' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,1979); and
(3)does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

BILLING CODE 4910-13-P


Date: May 5, 2003 From: Thomas Holloway Subject: Response to ICF Memo To: H. Lynn Dail This memorandum summarizes our response to ICF's preliminary NEI queries, which are presented in their April 25, 2003 memorandum.

As noted in ICF's memorandum, there are some conflicts between the primary SIC codes listed in the NEI and the magnetic tape SIC codes provided by EPA. The magnetic tape SIC codes provided by EPA ( 3695, 2672, and 3861) are based on information retrieved from searches of the TRI database. The SIC codes 3695, 2672, and 3861 are associated with magnetic and optical recording media manufacturing, coated and laminated paper manufacturing, and photographic equipment and supplies, respectively.

According to ICF's NEI search results, most of the emissions from Quantegy and all of the emissions from Sony are from operations associated with SIC code 3679 ( electronic components manufacturing). This SIC code was not included in any of our TRI search results. Our contacts at Quantegy and Sony have verified that their facilities only produce magnetic tape, so all of the reported emissions for these facilities are from magnetic tape manufacturing operations. Therefore, the NEI emission estimates associated with SIC code 3679 must be associated with the facilities' magnetic tape manufacturing operations. ( Whether these facilities' operations actually belong in SIC code 3679 is another matter.) The SIC code 3679 specifically includes communications equipment manufacturing, audio/ video equipment manufacturing, printed circuit assembly, and other electronic components manufacturing. It is conceivable that audio, video, and data tape, which are magnetic tape products manufactured at Quantegy and Sony, could have been categorized as communications and audio/ video equipment under SIC code 3679.

Consequently, it must be concluded that Sony's cobalt emissions, the primary factor in the its elevated hazard index ( HI), are from magnetic tape manufacturing. According to our contact at Sony ( Mr. Mark Farmer, Environmental Manager, 334 793 7655, ext. 1011), their facility manufactures Advanced Metal Evaporated ( AME) tape for high data storage. The process involves the vaporization of cobalt under a vacuum and depositing it onto a plastic film. Mr. Farmer stated that there are very few emissions from the process; they have baghouses that collect cobalt dust from the cleaning of parts and equipment. Mr. Farmer also stated that they use some cobalt doped iron oxide powder ( approximately 3 weight percent) in their conventional coating process, and there are some fugitive emissions from this process. 2 With the exception of 3M, the differences in emission estimates between those reported in the NEI and those provided by EPA ( based on the TRI) are most likely due to a difference in base years from which emissions were estimated. The NEI emission estimates are very similar to TRI emission estimates for the year 1998, while EPA used TRI emission estimates for the year 2000. Except for Quantegy, this difference in base years had little effect, with NEI and TRI emission estimates falling within ± 15 percent of each other. In the case of Quantegy, TRI emission estimates were about 70 percent lower than NEI emission estimates, primarily because of a large reduction in methyl ethyl ketone emissions from this facility in the year 2000.

In the case of 3M, the difference in emission estimates between those reported in the NEI and those provided by EPA may be because the NEI search did not include the necessary SIC code. Another search for 3M using SIC code 3679 or a related SIC code may provide additional emissions data.

The NEI data for the Eastman Kodak facility show 2.75 tons of manganese/ manganese compound emissions and 3.3 tons of chromium/ chromium compound emissions. While not directly associated with magnetic tape manufacturing operations, the reported manganese and chromium emissions should be verified and somehow related to the current risk evaluation for this facility.

[Docket No. USCG-2015-0792]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Sacramento River, Freeport, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the Sacramento County highway bridge
across Sacramento River, mile 46.0, at Freeport, CA. The deviation is
necessary to allow the bridge owner to replace bridge counterweight
bolts. This deviation allows single leaf operation of the double
bascule highway bridge during the deviation period.

DATES: This deviation is effective without actual notice from August
27, 2015 to 6 a.m. on September 11, 2015. For the purposes of
enforcement, actual notice will be used from 8 p.m. on August 17, 2015,
until August 27, 2015.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG-2015-0792], is
available at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the
``SEARCH'' box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open Docket Folder on the
line associated with this deviation. You may also visit the Docket
Management Facility in Room W12-140 on the ground floor of the
Department of Transportation West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email David H. Sulouff, Chief, Bridge
Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email

call Cheryl Collins, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone 202-
366-9826.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The County of Sacramento has requested a
temporary change to the operation of the Sacramento County highway
bridge, a double bascule drawbridge, mile 46.0, over Sacramento River,
at Freeport, CA. The drawbridge navigation span provides 29 feet
vertical clearance above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation
position. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.189(b), the draw opens on
signal from May 1 through September 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At all
other times, the draw shall open on signal if at least four hours
notice is give to the drawtender at the Rio Vista Bridge across the
Sacramento River, mile 12.8. Navigation on the waterway is recreational
and commercial.
    Single leaf operation of the Sacramento County highway drawbridge
will occur from 8 p.m. on August 17, 2015 to 6 a.m. on September 11,
2015, to allow the bridge owner to replace corroded counterweight
bolts. This temporary deviation has been coordinated with the waterway
users. No objections to the proposed temporary deviation were raised.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may
do so at any time. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies with
one leaf in full operational status. There is no alternate route for
vessels to pass through the bridge in the closed position. The Coast
Guard will also inform waterway users through our Local and Broadcast
Notices to Mariners

of the change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessels can
arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary
deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: August 13, 2015.

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 14 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 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the

``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For

    Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on July 6, 2007.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
