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

ii. Labor and Workforce
    Each applicant selected for SS4A grant funding must demonstrate, to
the full extent possible consistent with the law, an effort to create
good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union and
incorporation of high labor standards as described in Section A. To the
extent that applicants have not sufficiently considered job quality and
labor rights in their planning, as determined by the Department of
Labor, the applicants will be required to do so before receiving funds,
consistent with Executive Order 14025, Worker Organizing and
Empowerment (86 FR 22829), and Executive Order 14052, Implementation of
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (86 FR 64335).
    As expressed in section A, equal employment opportunity is an
important priority. The Department wants to ensure that sponsors have
the support they need to meet requirements under E.O. 11246, Equal
Employment Opportunity (30 FR 12319, and as amended). All Federally
assisted contractors are required to make good faith efforts to meet
the goals of 6.9 percent of construction project hours being performed
by women and goals that vary based on geography for construction work
hours and for work being performed by people of color.\29\ Projects
over $35 million shall meet the requirements in Executive Order 14063,
Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects (87
FR 7363).

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

    The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has a Mega Construction Project Program
through which it engages with project sponsors as early as the design
phase to help promote compliance with non-discrimination and
affirmative action obligations. Through the program, OFCCP offers
contractors and subcontractors extensive compliance assistance,
conducts compliance evaluations, and helps to build partnerships
between the project sponsor, prime contractor, subcontractors, and
relevant stakeholders. OFCCP will identify projects that receive an
award under this notice and are required to participate in OFCCP's Mega
Construction Project Program from a wide range of federally assisted
projects over which OFCCP has jurisdiction and that have a project cost
above $35 million. DOT will require project sponsors with costs above
$35 million that receive awards under this funding opportunity to
partner with OFCCP, if selected by OFCCP, as a condition of their DOT
award. Under that partnership, OFCCP will ask these project sponsors to
make clear to prime contractors in the pre-bid phase that project
sponsor's award terms will require their participation in the Mega
Construction Project Program. Additional information on how OFCCP makes
their selections for participation in the Mega Construction Project
Program is outlined under ``Scheduling'' on the Department of Labor
website: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ofccp/faqs/construction-compliance.
iii. Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience
    It is the policy of the United States to strengthen the security
and resilience of its critical infrastructure against both physical and
cyber threats. Each applicant selected for SS4A grant funding must
demonstrate, prior to the signing of the grant agreement, effort to
consider and address physical and cyber security risks relevant to the
transportation mode and type and scale of the activities. Award
recipients that have not appropriately considered and addressed
physical and cyber security and resilience in their planning, design,
and oversight, as determined by the Department and the Department of
Homeland Security, will be required to do so before receiving
Implementation Grant funds for construction, consistent with
Presidential Policy Directive 21, Critical Infrastructure Security and
Resilience and the National Security Presidential Memorandum on
Improving Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure Control Systems.
Additionally, funding recipients must be in compliance with 2 CFR
200.216 and the prohibition on certain telecommunications and video
surveillance services or equipment.
    Award recipients shall also consider whether projects in
floodplains are upgraded consistent with the Federal Flood Risk
Management Standard, to the extent consistent with current law, in
Executive Order 14030, Climate-Related Financial Risk (86 FR 27967),
and Executive Order 13690, Establishing a Federal Flood Risk Management
Standard and a Process for Further Soliciting and Considering
Stakeholder Input (80 FR 6425).
iv. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)
    Funding recipients must comply with NEPA under 42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq. and the Council on Environmental Quality's NEPA implementing
regulations at 40 CFR 1500-1508, where applicable.
v. Other Administrative and Policy Requirements
    All awards will be administered pursuant to the Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards found in 2 CFR 200, subpart F, as adopted by the
Department at 2 CFR 1201. Additionally, as permitted under the
requirements described above, applicable Federal laws, rules, and
regulations of the relevant operating administration (e.g., the Federal
Highway Administration, etc.) administering the activities will apply
to the activities that receive SS4A grants, including planning
requirements, Stakeholder Agreements, and other requirements under the
Department's other highway and transit grant programs. DOT anticipates
grant recipients to have varying levels of experience administering
Federal funding agreements and complying with Federal requirements, and
DOT will

take a risk-based approach to SS4A program grant agreement
administration to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
    The Department will also provide additional technical assistance
and support resources to first-time DOT funding recipients and those
who request additional support, as appropriate. With respect to highway
projects, except as otherwise noted in this NOFO, please note that
these grants are not required to be administered under Title 23 of the
U.S.C., which establishes requirements that are generally applicable to
funding that is provided by formula to State departments of
transportation.\30\ Therefore, the administration and implementation of
SS4A grants should be more streamlined for the entities that are
eligible for SS4A awards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ Please note that some title 23 requirements apply
regardless of funding source. In particular, projects involving
routes on the National Highway System must meet the applicable
design standards at 23 CFR part 625.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As expressed in Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future Is Made
in All of America by All of America's Workers (86 FR 7475), it is the
policy of the executive branch to maximize, consistent with law, the
use of goods, products, and materials produced in, and services offered
in, the United States. Infrastructure projects are subject to the Build
America, Buy America Act (Pub. L. No 117-58, div. G Sec. Sec.  70901-
70927) as clarified in OMB Memorandum M-22-11.\31\ The Department
expects all recipients to be able to complete their projects without
needing a waiver. However, to obtain a waiver, a recipient must be
prepared to demonstrate how they will maximize the use of domestic
goods, products, and materials in constructing their project. Projects
under this notice will be subject to the domestic preference
requirements at Sec.  70914 of the Build America, Buy America Act, as
implemented by OMB, and any awards will contain the award terms
specific in M-22-11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stat. 429, 1298 (2021). For additional information on Sec.  70914,
see OMB-22-11. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/M-22-11.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SS4A award recipients should demonstrate compliance with civil
rights obligations and nondiscrimination laws, including Titles VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and accompanying
regulations. Recipients of Federal transportation funding will also be
required to comply fully with regulations and guidance for the ADA,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and all other civil rights requirements.
Additionally, to the extent practicable, Implementation Grants must
adhere to the proposed Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility
Guidelines.\32\ The Department's and the applicable Operating
Administrations' Office of Civil Rights may work with awarded grant
recipients to ensure full compliance with Federal civil rights
requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ https://www.access-board.gov/prowag/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In connection with any program or activity conducted with or
benefiting from funds awarded under this notice, recipients of funds
must comply with all applicable requirements of Federal law, including,
without limitation, the Constitution of the United States; the
conditions of performance, nondiscrimination requirements, and other
assurances made applicable to the award of funds in accordance with
regulations of the Department of Transportation; and applicable Federal
financial assistance and contracting principles promulgated by the
Office of Management and Budget. In complying with these requirements,
recipients, in particular, must ensure that no concession agreements
are denied or other contracting decisions made on the basis of speech
or other activities protected by the First Amendment. If the Department
determines that a recipient has failed to comply with applicable
Federal requirements, the Department may terminate the award of funds
and disallow previously incurred costs, requiring the recipient to
reimburse any expended award funds.

3. Reporting

i. Progress Reporting on Grant Activity
    Reporting responsibilities include quarterly program performance
reports using the Performance Progress Report (SF-PPR) and quarterly
financial status using the SF-425 (also known as the Federal Financial
Report or SF-FFR).\33\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ https://www.grants.gov/forms/post-award-reporting-forms.html.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ii. Post Award Reporting Requirements/Reporting of Matters Related to
Integrity and Performance
    If the total value of a selected applicant's currently active
grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from all
Federal awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for any period of time
during the period of performance of this Federal award, then the
applicant during that period of time must maintain the currency of
information reported in SAM that is made available in the designated
integrity and performance system (currently the Federal Awardee
Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)) about civil,
criminal, or administrative proceedings described in paragraph 2 of
this award term and condition. This is a statutory requirement under
section 872 of Public Law 110-417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313). As
required by section 3010 of Public Law 111-212, all information posted
in the designated integrity and performance system on or after April
15, 2011, except past performance reviews required for Federal
procurement contracts, will be publicly available. Additionally, if
applicable funding recipients must be in compliance with the audit
requirements in 2 CFR 200, Subpart F.
iii. Program Evaluation
    As a condition of grant award, SS4A grant recipients may be
required to participate in an evaluation undertaken by DOT, or another
agency or partner. The evaluation may take different forms such as an
implementation assessment across grant recipients, an impact and/or
outcomes analysis of all or selected sites within or across grant
recipients, or a benefit/cost analysis or assessment of return on
investment. The Department may require applicants to collect data
elements to aid the evaluation. As a part of the evaluation, as a
condition of award, grant recipients must agree to: (1) Make records
available to the evaluation contractor; (2) provide access to program
records, and any other relevant documents to calculate costs and
benefits; (3) in the case of an impact analysis, facilitate the access
to relevant information as requested; and (4) follow evaluation
procedures as specified by the evaluation contractor or DOT staff.
    Recipients and sub-recipients are also encouraged to incorporate
program evaluation including associated data collection activities from
the outset of their program design and implementation to meaningfully
document and measure the effectiveness of their projects and
strategies. Title I of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking
Act of 2018 (Evidence Act), Public Law 115-435 (2019) urges Federal
awarding agencies and Federal assistance recipients and sub-recipients
to use program evaluation as a critical tool to learn, to improve
equitable delivery, and to elevate program service and delivery across
the program lifecycle. Evaluation means ``an assessment using
systematic data collection and analysis of one or more

programs, policies, and organizations intended to assess their
effectiveness and efficiency'' (codified at 5 U.S.C. 311). For grant
recipients, evaluation expenses are allowable costs (either as direct
or indirect), unless prohibited by statute or regulation, and such
expenses may include the personnel and equipment needed for data
infrastructure and expertise in data analysis, performance, and
evaluation (2 CFR 200).

G. Federal Awarding Agency Contacts

    For further information concerning this notice, please contact the
Office of the Secretary via email at [email protected]. In addition, up to
the application deadline, the Department will post answers to common
questions and requests for clarifications on the Department's website

information about eligibility or the program, the applicant is
encouraged to contact the Department directly, rather than through
intermediaries or third parties, with questions. Department staff may
also conduct briefings on the SS4A grant selection and award process
upon request.

H. Other Information

1. Publication of Application Information

    Following the completion of the selection process and announcement
of awards, the Department intends to publish a list of all applications
received along with the names of the applicant organizations. The
Department may share application information within the Department or
with other Federal agencies if the Department determines that sharing
is relevant to the respective program's objectives.

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0674; Directorate Identifier 2009-NE-25-AD;
Amendment 39-16092; AD 2009-24-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211-Trent 800 Series
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. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    Under certain ambient conditions, ice can accumulate on the
walls of the fuel pipes within the aircraft fuel system, which can
then be released downstream when fuel flow demand is increased. This
released ice can then collect on the fuel-to-oil heat exchanger
(FOHE) front face and limit fuel flow through the FOHE.

    We are issuing this AD to prevent ice from blocking the FOHE, which
could result in an unacceptable engine power loss, and loss of control
of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective January 4, 2010. The Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulations as of January 4, 2010.

ADDRESSES: The Docket Operations office is located at Docket Management
Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue,
SE., West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-
0001.

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 was published in the Federal Register on July 23, 2009 (74 FR
36422). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    This Airworthiness Directive has been raised following an
incident involving dual loss of engine response in the final stages
of approach leading to touchdown short of the runway. The phenomenon
involved in the loss of engine response has also been seen in flight
affecting just one engine.
    Post incident analysis and investigation has established that,
under certain ambient conditions, ice can accumulate on the walls of
the fuel pipes within the aircraft fuel system, which can then be
released downstream when fuel flow demand is increased. This
released ice can then collect on the FOHE front face and limit fuel
flow through the FOHE. This type of icing event was previously
unknown and creates ice concentrations in the fuel system beyond
those specified in the certification requirements.

    To mitigate the risk of engine FOHE blockage, this AD requires
replacing the FOHE, part number (P/N) 55003001-1 or 55003001-11, with a
FOHE that has been modified using Rolls-Royce plc Alert Service
Bulletin (ASB) No. RB.211-79-AG257, Revision 1, dated September 14,
2009.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request To Eliminate ``Or Equivalent'' From Paragraph (e)

    Delta Airlines requests that we eliminate the words ``or
equivalent'' from paragraph (e) of the proposed AD.
    We agree. We deleted them from paragraph (e) of the AD.

Requests To List the Replacement FOHE P/N or Subsequent Post Alert
Service Bulletin FOHE P/N

    American Airlines, Rolls-Royce plc, Boeing, and the Airlines Pilot
Association (ALPA) request that we require replacing the FOHE, P/N
55003001-1 or 55003001-11, with a FOHE P/N 55003001-21, or subsequent
post Rolls-Royce plc ASB No. RB.211-79-AG257 FOHE P/N.
    We partially agree. Rulemaking requirements do not permit advance
approval of unknown future revisions to service bulletins and part
numbers. However, we agree that we can clarify the compliance to
identify the modification needed to replace the FOHE. We changed
paragraph (e) to state ``Unless already done, within 6,000 flight hours
after the effective date of this AD, but no later than January 1, 2011,
replace the FOHE, P/N 55003001-1 or 55003001-11, with an FOHE modified
using Rolls-Royce plc ASB No. RB.211-79-AG257, Revision 1, dated
September 14, 2009.

Request To Change the Summary and Discussion Paragraphs

    Boeing requests that we change the Summary and Discussion
paragraphs from ``under certain ambient conditions, ice can accumulate
on the walls of the fuel pipes within the aircraft fuel system'' to
``under certain ambient conditions, ice can accumulate on the walls of
the fuel pipes within the aircraft and/or engine fuel systems.'' The
commenter states that the current wording suggests that ice
accumulation is possible only in the aircraft-side wing and strut fuel
feed lines. Post incident analysis and investigation could not
conclusively identify where in the feed lines ice accumulated, nor did
it exclude the possibility of accumulation

within the engine-side fuel feed lines, and or components. The
suggested wording eliminates this ambiguity.
    We do not agree. For the purpose of this AD, separating the
aircraft fuel system from the engine fuel system is not necessary.
Together, they represent the single fuel system for the aircraft. We
did not change the AD.

Identify the AD as Terminating Action for AD 2009-05-11

    American Airlines requests that compliance with the AD on both
engines of an airplane be identified as terminating action for AD 2009-
05-11. AD 2009-05-11 currently requires on-ground and in-flight
procedures at the airplane-level.
    We do not agree. AD 2009-05-11, which is a Transport Airplane
Directorate AD, defines procedures for the aircraft and not the
engines. This AD is applicable to the engines only. Terminating the
requirements of AD 2009-05-11 must be done within the constraints of
that AD and cannot be defined in this AD. We did not change the AD.

Request To Revise the Costs of Compliance Estimate

    Rolls-Royce plc requests that we revise the estimated costs of
compliance from a total of $1,647,720, to a total of $8,098,530, to be
more accurate.
    We agree. Since we prepared our initial cost estimate, Rolls-Royce
has updated their information to us. We changed the costs of compliance
section in the AD preamble.

Request To Change the Compliance Time

    ALPA International requests that we change the proposed AD
compliance time from ``Within 6,000 flight hours after the effective
date of this AD, but no later than January 1, 2011'', to ``Within six
months after the effective date of the AD or within 6,000 flight hours
after receipt of the Service Bulletin.'' ALPA International believes
that the decreased compliance times are important since, in the event a
blockage of the FOHE, the current procedure requires an immediate idle
descent to melt the blockage. Due to this aircraft's design mission of
long range flight, it often operates over oceanic and geographically
remote areas where radar surveillance may not exist and communications
with the air traffic control is encumbered by language limits, poor
radio reception, and third party communication relay services. These
areas may concentrate traffic on specific routes or tracks. This
creates the potential for traffic conflicts during the descent, without
the ability to receive timely Air Traffic Control clearance or the
additional safety oversight provided by radar separation. This engine
rollback is very insidious to the crew and creates the potential for a
pilot to be faced with an immediate descent without adequate time to
compensate for traffic, weather, or terrain.
    We do not agree. On February 17, 2009, the Transport Airplane
Directorate issued AD 2009-05-11 that revises the airplane flight
manual to include in-flight procedures for pilots to follow in certain
cold weather conditions. That AD also includes mandating fuel
circulation procedures on the ground when certain conditions exist.
These procedures are considered adequate to assure continued safe
operation through all environments and conditions, including those
expressed by ALPA, until hardware modifications become available. Those
procedures also reduce hazardous amounts of ice buildup within the fuel
feed system and eliminate ice accumulation on the face of the FOHE. We
did not change the AD.

Request a Mandate To Retrofit At Least One Engine

    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) requests that we
mandate the retrofit of at least one engine on each airplane in the
affected fleet by the end of December 2009. The NTSB believes that the
January 1, 2011 compliance date for installation of the new FOHE is not
consistent with the risk associated with the original FOHE design.
    We do not agree. AD 2009-05-11 revises the airplane flight manual
to include in-flight procedures for pilots to follow in certain cold
weather conditions. It also includes mandating fuel circulation
procedures on the ground when certain conditions exist. It was issued
to assure continued safe operation until hardware modifications become
available. The actions reduce hazardous amounts of ice buildup within
the fuel feed system and eliminate ice accumulation on the face of the
FOHE. Those procedures were put into place while the investigation was
ongoing and in advance of a permanent solution to the problem. We
consider those procedures appropriate as an interim action to ensure
continued safe operation until a permanent solution can be
incorporated.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    The EASA AD 2009-0142, dated July 13, 2009, requires replacing the
FOHE within 6,000 flight hours from July 10, 2009 or before January 1,
2011, whichever occurs first. This AD requires replacing the FOHE
within 6,000 flight hours after the effective date of the AD, rather
than within 6,000 flight hours from July 10, 2009.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD will
affect about 138 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it
will take about 8.5 work-hours per product to comply with this AD. The
average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about
$58,005 per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
the AD on U.S. operators to be $8,098,530.

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

    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 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); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is provided in
the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket
shortly after receipt.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued AD
No. 2013-0084, dated April 5, 2013 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

During scheduled maintenance, cracks have been detected at the joint
between the hinge pin sub-assembly and the lock pin of the main
landing gear (MLG) lever hinge fitting (LHF) of a Piaggio P.180
aeroplane.
    The results of the subsequent investigation revealed that the
cracks were initiated by an unforeseen friction in the MLG wheel
lever sub-assembly.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to a
structural failure of the MLG, possibly resulting in loss of control
of the aeroplane during take-off or landing runs.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Piaggio Aero
Industries (PAI) issued Service Bulletin (SB) 80-0345 to provide
instructions for early identification of cracks in the MLG LHF and,
in case of identification of the crack, replacement of the MLG.
    For the reasons described above, this AD required inspections of
the MLG LHF and, depending on findings, replacement of the MLG.
    This AD is considered to be an interim action, and based on
gathered experience, further AD action may follow.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. has issued Mandatory Service
Bulletin No. 80-0345, and Appendix A, both dated September 20, 2012,
which includes Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin No. P180-32-32, dated
September 10, 2012. The actions described in this service information
are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed 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 proposing this AD because we evaluated all information
and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same type design.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action. We are requiring inspection(s)
of the left and right MLG LHF with a report to the manufacturer of the
results if cracks are found. We will work with the type certificate
holder to evaluate the report results to determine repetitive
inspection intervals and subsequent terminating action. Based on this
evaluation, we may initiate further rulemaking action to address the
unsafe condition identified in this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 109 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 11 total work-
hours, which is 2 work-hours for the initial visual inspection; 2 work-
hours for the detailed visual inspection; and 7 work-hours for the
fluorescent penetrant inspection, per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $101,915, or $935 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 7 work-hours and require parts costing $21,540 to replace a
left-hand LHF, for a cost of $22,153, and $20,662 to replace a right-
hand LHF, for a cost of $21,257.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate

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

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) 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. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

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

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    NSCC is proposing to provide certain NSCC Members (as defined
below) with a centralized, automated and standardized data repository
to transmit and receive Fee Data relating to IPS Eligible Products.\7\
Such NSCC Members would include (i) insurance companies that are
Insurance Carrier/Retirement Services Members (``Carriers''); and (ii)
Carriers' intermediaries, such as broker-dealers, banks and insurance
agencies, that are Members, Mutual Fund/Insurance Services Members and
Data Services Only Members that distribute participating Carriers'
insurance products (collectively, Distributors,'' and, together with
``Carriers,'' collectively referred to herein as ``NSCC Members'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ An ``IPS Eligible Product'' is defined in the Rules and
includes such insurance products, retirement or other benefit plans,
or programs that are identified by NSCC as eligible for processing
through its I&RS. See Rule 1, supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) Background
    On April 6, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor (``DOL'') issued new
regulations (collectively, ``DOL Fiduciary Rule'') regarding conflicts
of interest in retirement investment advice.\8\ The DOL Fiduciary Rule
generally expands the type of investment advice that is subject to
fiduciary standards under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (``ERISA'').\9\ Generally, under the new DOL Fiduciary Rule,
advisors subject to fiduciary standards will be limited in receiving
certain compensation for providing investment advice. In connection
with the DOL Fiduciary Rule, the DOL also introduced a new exemption
and modified existing exemptions to allow institutions to engage in
certain compensation and fee practices that might otherwise violate
fiduciary standards under ERISA rules if the institutions meet, among
other things, certain disclosure requirements relating to Fee Data. To
satisfy the disclosure requirements, Distributors will need to disclose
to their customers to whom the Distributors provide covered investment
advice certain Fee Data that is generated by Carriers. For example,
Distributors may need to disclose certain direct Carrier fees and
expenses, such as management fees, surrender charge rates, and standard
commission schedule data (``Commission Schedule Data''),\10\ and
certain indirect Carrier fees and expenses, such as third-party
payments, revenue sharing, and marketing allowances.

    \10\ Carriers publish schedules that list commission rates for
products that Distributors earn upon the sale of the products. For
example, a Carrier may provide that for the sale of a certain whole
life policy, the Distributors will earn a commission of 100 percent
of the premium for the first year. Carriers set the rates and then
publish this data periodically. Those rates are then reviewed and
approved by state regulatory authorities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Although I&RS currently provides communication links that connect
participating Carriers and Distributors, these existing links do not
provide Carriers with an efficient and centralized method to transmit
Fee Data to Distributors. Through the existing links, Distributors
would need to search for and retrieve information from multiple
Carriers, and Carriers would need to respond to information requests
from multiple Distributors, regarding the same IPS Eligible Products.
In addition, Carriers would need to use multiple I&RS links to transmit
all of the Fee Data required by the DOL Fiduciary Rule. As a result,
such Fee Data would be transferred in different formats, depending on
the method used to transmit the Fee Data. Further, in order to retrieve
the Fee Data, Distributors would need to extract the Fee Data from
multiple file types for each IPS Eligible Product.
    Therefore, NSCC developed the Insurance Profile functionality at
the request of and in consultation with industry participants. The
proposed Insurance Profile functionality would provide Carriers and
Distributors with a secure, centralized portal to allow Carriers to
place all of the requested Fee Data for each IPS Eligible Product into
a new data repository in a standardized data format. In this regard,
the Insurance Profile repository would enable Carriers to submit, and
Distributors to retrieve, Fee Data relating to IPS Eligible Products in
one centralized location. Having the Fee Data in a centralized
repository would streamline the Fee Data transfer and retrieval process
for Carriers and Distributors, and it would avoid the need to send and
retrieve Fee Data to and from various sources and in different formats.
(ii) Proposed Rule Changes
    NSCC proposes to enhance existing I&RS services to create a new
feature within I&RS, called Insurance Profile, that would enable
Carriers to transmit Fee Data to Distributors, or to otherwise supply
and provide access to Fee Data using a centralized repository.\11\
Insurance Profile would be an optional feature, and users would have
access to

the repository through either a full data subscription (``Full Data
Subscription'') or a limited data subscription (``Limited Data
Subscription''). The Full Data Subscription would allow for multiple
intraday loading, storage, and transmission of all available Fee Data
in the data repository. A Limited Data Subscription would allow for
multiple intraday loading, storage, and transmission of either (i)
Commission Schedule Data, or (ii) all Fee Data other than Commission
Schedule Data, at the user's choice. In addition, Distributors would
have the ability to access the repository with a ``User Web Interface
Only'' subscription. The User Web Interface Only subscription would
allow Distributors to view and download Fee Data but would not include
the ability to load, store, and transmit Fee Data using the data
repository.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Rule 57 generally provides that NSCC will not be
responsible for the completeness or accuracy of any data transmitted
between NSCC Members through I&RS, nor for any errors, omissions or
delays which may occur in the absence of gross negligence on NSCC's
part, in the transmission of such data between NSCC Members. See
Rule 57, Section 1(j), supra note 6. The proposed changes to Rule 57
would be subject to these limitations.
    \12\ Because Carriers would use the repository to load,
transmit, and store Fee Data, Carriers would not have the option to
subscribe to the User Web Interface Only, which only allows users to
view and download Fee Data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NSCC Members would be provided with access to the repository based
on their subscription type and in order to permit them to carry out
their respective roles in the distribution of Fee Data. For example,
Distributors subscribing to the User Web Interface Only subscription
will only be able to download through web-based portal file downloads,
while all other users would be able to download using mainframe-based
file downloads. The file downloads would be functionally equivalent
whether through mainframe-based file downloads or web-based portal file
downloads, however, the mainframe-based file downloads would permit the
downloading of more data at one time as compared to web-based portal
file downloads.
    NSCC also proposes to amend Addendum A of the Rules to include the
fees for subscription to the Insurance Profile feature. The proposed
fees would depend on whether the user has subscribed to a Full Data
Subscription, a Limited Data Subscription, or a User Web Interface Only
subscription. For a subscription that is not a User Web Interface Only
Subscription, NSCC would charge (i) $3,000 per month for a Full Data
Subscription; and (ii) $1,500 per month for a Limited Data
Subscription. For a User Web Interface Only Subscription, NSCC would
charge Distributors (i) $500 per month, plus a $1.25 per CUSIP download
transaction charge for a Full Data Subscription; and (ii) $250 per
month, plus a $1.25 per CUSIP download transaction charge for a Limited
Data Subscription.
    In addition, because the Fee Data being placed in Insurance Profile
is intended to be used to satisfy disclosure requirements and is not
intended to be used to commercialize the Fee Data retrieved therefrom,
the proposed rule change would make it clear that users may not use,
distribute, transmit, or otherwise make available Fee Data retrieved
from Insurance Profile as the basis for or as a part of a data product
or service offered for commercial gain to any other person without the
prior written consent of NSCC.
2. Statutory Basis
    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \13\ requires, in part, that the
Rules be designed to foster cooperation and coordination with persons
engaged in the clearance and settlement of securities transactions. The
proposed rule change would enhance NSCC Members' ability to access and
retrieve Fee Data information in a standardized and automated format
and in a secure, centralized location. By streamlining the ability of
NSCC Members to transmit and retrieve Fee Data between each other, NSCC
believes that the proposed rule change would foster cooperation and
coordination with NSCC Members engaged in the clearance and settlement
of securities, consistent with the requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(F)
of the Act.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \14\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the Act \15\ requires that the Rules
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its participants. NSCC believes that the proposed
rule change to Addendum A is consistent with this provision of the Act
because the proposed fees would align with the cost of delivering the
proposed Insurance Profile feature to NSCC Members, and such fees would
be allocated equitably among the NSCC Members that subscribe for
Insurance Profile. Therefore, by establishing fees that align with the
cost of delivery of this feature and allocating those fees equitably
among the subscribing NSCC Members, the proposed rule change would
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other
charges among its participants consistent with the requirements of
Section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the Act.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(D).
    \16\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NSCC does not believe that the proposed rule change would have any
adverse impact, or impose any burden, on competition because the
proposed rule change would add an optional function to NSCC's services
that would provide a more efficient method by which subscribing
Carriers and Distributors may transmit and receive Fee Data. Therefore,
as an optional feature available for subscription, the proposed rule
change would not disproportionally impact any NSCC Members.
    Moreover, because the proposed rule change would improve the
efficiency by which subscribing NSCC Members may transmit Fee Data and
satisfy their disclosure requirements, the proposed rule change may
have a positive effect on competition among Carriers and Distributors.
The proposed feature would provide these firms with a faster, more
streamlined method of transmitting and receiving Fee Data, and
therefore would enable IPS Eligible Products to be marketed more
quickly. Specifically, Distributors would have the ability to
distribute IPS Eligible Products into the market to consumers more
quickly because Distributors would have the ability to satisfy their
Fee Data disclosure requirements with respect to such IPS Eligible
Products on a timely basis using the proposed Insurance Profile.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    NSCC has not received or solicited any written comments relating to
this proposal. NSCC will notify the Commission of any written comments
it receives.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) \17\ of the Act and subparagraphs (f)(2) \18\ and (f)(4)
\19\ of Rule 19b-4 thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing
of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily
suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the
protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.
