SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Providing Postmarketing Periodic Safety Reports in the ICH
E2C(R2) Format (Periodic Benefit-Risk Evaluation Report).'' We are
issuing the guidance to describe the conditions under which FDA will
exercise its waiver authority to permit the holders of approved new
drug applications, abbreviated new drug applications, and biologics
license applications (applicants) to use the reporting format of the
PBRER to submit periodic safety reports for their marketed products.
The harmonized PBRER is intended to promote a consistent approach to
periodic postmarketing safety reporting among the ICH regions and to
enhance efficiency by reducing the number of reports generated for
submissions to the regulatory authorities.
    FDA's postmarketing safety reporting regulations require applicants
to submit periodic safety reports in the form of a Periodic adverse
drug experience report (PADER) (for drugs) or a Periodic adverse
experience report (PAER) (for biologics) (21 CFR 314.80(c)(2) and
600.80(c)(2), respectively). FDA has routinely granted waivers under 21
CFR 314.90(b) and 600.90(b) permitting applicants to submit an
internationally harmonized Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR)
prepared in accordance with ICH E2C (see 62 FR 27470, May 19, 1997) and
69 FR 5551, February 5, 2004)) instead of a PADER/PAER under conditions
stated in the waiver. On November 15, 2012, the ICH Steering Committee
signed off on the ICH harmonized guideline ``Periodic Benefit-Risk
Evaluation Report (PBRER) E2C(R2)'' and recommended that the PBRER
format be adopted by the ICH regulatory bodies of the three regions.
Therefore, the new and more comprehensive report format, the PBRER, has
superseded the PSUR report format.
    This guidance provides information on the steps applicants can take
to submit a PBRER to the FDA in place of a PSUR, PADER, or PAER. The
guidance discusses: (1) Applicants who have a waiver for their approved
product to submit a PSUR instead of a PADER/PAER and (2) applicants who
have not obtained a waiver and are currently submitting PADERs/PAERs as
required under FDA regulations. Because the PBRER has replaced the PSUR
as the ICH E2C harmonized postmarketing safety report format, FDA is
permitting applicants with an existing PSUR waiver to substitute the
PBRER for the PSUR without submitting a new waiver request. This
guidance describes the steps an applicant should take to submit the
PBRER instead of the PSUR. For applicants who do not have a PSUR waiver
for their approved application but would like to submit the PBRER
instead of the PADER/PAER, this guidance provides information on how to
submit a waiver request if they wish to do so.
    This guidance describes the content, format, and submission
deadlines applicants should follow when submitting the PBRER, as well
as U.S.-specific appendices that should be submitted with the PBRER. It
also explains how applicants can fulfill FDA's annual reporting
requirement while submitting a harmonized PBRER that covers a longer
reporting interval. In addition, FDA will consider requests to waive
the quarterly reporting requirement.
    This guidance finalizes the draft guidance for industry entitled
``Providing Postmarket Periodic Safety Reports in the ICH E2C(R2)
Format (Periodic Benefit-Risk Evaluation Report),'' which was announced
in the Federal Register of April 8, 2013 (78 FR 20926). We reviewed the
comments received on the draft guidance and revised several sections of
the guidance in response to comments and questions on topics such as
the submission of the nonexpedited individual case safety reports,
waivers of the quarterly reporting requirement, the supplemental
information to be provided with the PSUR/PBRER, handling gaps in
reporting with changes to the date of the data lock point for the
reporting interval, and accepted formats for the periodic safety
report. In response to comments, we also clarified the text in the
examples that were given in the draft guidance.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on providing postmarketing periodic safety
reports in the ICH E2C(R2) PBRER format. It does not establish any
rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can
use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.

III. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520). The collections of information related to submission of
waiver requests under Sec. Sec.  314.90(a) and 600.90 have been
approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0001 and 0910-0308. The
guidance also refers to collections of information that have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0771 related to providing
waiver-related materials in accordance with the guidance.

comments, the EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule.
    If the EPA receives adverse comments, the EPA will withdraw the
direct final rule and it will not take effect. The EPA will address all
adverse comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule, but will not institute a second comment period on this action.
Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at
this time. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may
be severed from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may adopt as final
those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse
comment.

Establishment of Restricted Area R-5306F; Cherry Point, NC

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes restricted area R-5306F at Marine
Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, NC. R-5306F extends from flight
level (FL) 180 to FL 290. Restricted area R-5306F overlie the existing
restricted area R-5306A, and the adjacent Core Military Operations Area
(MOA). Due to altitude constraints, the existing restricted airspace
structure around MCAS Cherry Point cannot fully support the training
requirements for current legacy aircraft as well as 4th and 5th
generation aircraft such as the F-35. In conjunction with R-5306A,
restricted area R-5306F will allow for realistic training to enable
pilots and aircrews to counter evolving threat nation warfare anti-
aircraft capabilities.

DATES: Effective date 0910 UTC, December 2, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to

assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of
aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority as it establishes restricted area airspace
at Cherry Point, NC, to enhance aviation safety and accommodate
essential U.S. Marine Corps training activities.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2019-0111 in the Federal Register (85 FR 16918; March 25, 2020),
proposing to expand the restricted airspace at MCAS Cherry Point, NC,
by establishing restricted area R-5306F, because the altitude
constraints of the current airspace structure cannot fully support U.S.
Marine Corps training and readiness requirements. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by establishing restricted area
R-5306F, Cherry Point, NC, to overlie the existing restricted area R-
5306A, and the adjacent Core MOA. Restricted area R-5306F extends from
FL 180 to FL 290. The time of designation is Monday through Friday,
0800 to 0000 hours, local time; other times by NOTAM.
    In conjunction with R-5306A, R-5306F will provide the low-altitude
to high-altitude restricted airspace needed to train in the variety of
tactics as discussed above.
    There are no current Air Traffic Service routes (i.e., jet routes
or Q-routes) or preferential IFR routes that are impacted by the
restricted area. R-5306F is joint-use special use airspace; meaning
that the using agency will return the restricted area to the
controlling agency (FAA, Washington ARTCC) on a real-time basis when
not in use by the using agency. Supersonic flight will not be conducted
in R-5306F.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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
Department of Transportation (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.
Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule does not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of establishing restricted
area R-5306F at MCAS Cherry Point, NC, qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5f, which categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review actions that increase the altitude of
special use airspace. As such, this action is not expected to result in
any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with
FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances,
the FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which
a normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study. The FAA's
categorical exclusion declaration and decision for this action is
separately documented in a categorical exclusion dated August 25, 2020.

II. Background and Purpose

    The Alternate Compliance Program (ACP) was launched as a pilot
program in 1995. A notice about the ACP was published in the Federal
Register on February 3, 1995. 60 FR 6687. Under the ACP, owners and
operators of eligible vessels may request inspection by an authorized
classification society, as defined in 46 CFR 8.100, using an
equivalence to the requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) comprising classification society rules, provisions of
International Maritime Organization (IMO) treaties, and a supplementary
list of requirements from the CFR that were not in IMO provisions or
classification society rules. A classification society gained
eligibility to participate in the ACP by meeting the standards
described in the regulations. If it met these standards, a
classification society was recognized and delegated authority to
conduct plan reviews and inspections, and issue, on the Coast Guard's
behalf, certain IMO certificates documenting compliance with IMO treaty
provisions.
    An interim rule establishing new 46 CFR part 8, ``Vessel Inspection
Alternatives'' was published in the Federal Register on December 27,
1996. 61 FR 68510. The pilot program was concluded in 1997 and the ACP
was fully implemented by a final rule published on December 24, 1997.
62 FR 67526.
    Predictably, the program has evolved since 1997 and the lessons
learned have been documented and typically implemented through Coast
Guard policy decisions, where appropriate. The May 2007 notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) preceding this final rule described the
Coast Guard's plans to expand the ACP and incorporate the lessons we
have learned into the CFR. 72 FR 28650, May 22, 2007. For example, when
the ACP was initiated, the Coast Guard chose to retain issuing
authority for the SOLAS Passenger Ship Safety Certificate (PSSC). This
decision was based on our experience with the complexities of the
passenger vessel plan review, inspection, and certification process.
Experience has shown that retaining this issuing authority has created
confusion over the roles of the Coast Guard versus the authorized
classification society under the ACP. Experience with the ACP has also
allowed us to gain confidence with the ACP process. Therefore, we
decided to grant PSSC issuing authority to authorized classification
societies.
    For similar reasons, in the May 2007 NPRM, we proposed to delegate
to authorized classification societies issuing authority for the High-
Speed Craft (HSC) Safety Certificate. This follows our determination
that the HSC Code is equivalent to the 46 CFR Subchapter H requirements
for passenger vessels. We published our

decision in Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 6-99 on
inspection of high-speed craft and in Policy Letter 01-00, dated May 3,
2000. NVIC 6-99 is available from the Coast Guard National Maritime
Center on the World Wide Web at http://www.uscg.mil/hq/gm/nvic/index90.htm. Policy Letter number 01-00 is available in the docket for
this rulemaking. As the Coast Guard and several classification
societies have now gained significant experience with the HSC Code, it
is now appropriate to add the HSC Certificate to the ACP.
    Our experience with the success of the ACP has also given us the
flexibility to explore applying the program to other types of vessels
that were originally excluded under our measured implementation
approach. Positive feedback and recommendations from the U.S. maritime
industry gathered since we initiated ACP demonstrate broad support for
this idea. As a result, in May 2007, we proposed that the ACP be
expanded to encompass Oceanographic Research Vessels that engage in
international voyages.
    Soon after the ACP rules went into effect, we recognized that a
classification society needs authorization to issue five basic IMO
certificates to fully leverage ACP flexibility, namely:
     The Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate from the
International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, 1974;
     The Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate from the
International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, 1974;
     The International Load Line Certificate from the
International Convention on Load Lines;
     The International Tonnage Certificate from the
International Convention on Tonnage Measurement; and
     The International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate
from the Protocol of 1978 relating to the International Convention for
the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973.
    While we have implemented this concept as part of our operating
policies, it had not been incorporated into 46 CFR part 8. Therefore,
in our May 2007 NPRM, we proposed to revise 46 CFR part 8 to require
that a classification society have authority to issue the five basic
IMO certificates to be eligible to participate in the ACP.
    The initial version of the ACP only applied to the American Bureau
of Shipping with whom the Coast Guard had collaborated to develop the
first U.S. Supplement--a list of differences between the CFR and the
combination of IMO treaty provisions and classification society rules.
As the program has expanded, we have engaged in similar partnerships
with other classification societies that are now approved to
participate in the ACP. Consequently, our specific references to the
American Bureau of Shipping in 46 CFR part 2 are outdated. Therefore,
in May 2007, we proposed to replace specific references to the American
Bureau of Shipping with a more general reference to authorized
classification societies. The term ``authorized classification
society'' is already defined in 46 CFR 8.100.

III. Discussion of Comments

    We received four letters commenting on the notice of proposed
rulemaking published May 22, 2007. 72 FR 28650. The commenters
supported the Alternate Compliance Program (ACP) and recommended the
Coast Guard expand the program further to the U.S. tank barge industry,
the Great Lakes shipping fleet, offshore supply vessels, and other
domestic vessels that receive classification and loadline certificates.
    The Coast Guard appreciates these comments. The ACP is one of many
ways the Coast Guard partners with our industry stakeholders to make
the best use of our combined resources, achieve a balance between
industry and government interests, and improve opportunities for the
U.S. maritime community to be competitive in the global marketplace.
The Coast Guard has opted not to delegate authority to implement our
regulations on domestic vessels.
    The owners of domestic vessels may apply for enrollment in other,
similar programs, such as the Streamlined Inspection Program (SIP)
described in 46 CFR part 8, subpart E. In the SIP, the vessel owner and
the Coast Guard work together to develop a Vessel Action Plan (VAP)
that prescribes the procedures for maintenance, examination, and
inspection of a vessel enrolled in the SIP. Under the SIP, owners of
domestic vessels earn, in a manner similar to the ACP, more autonomy,
flexibility, and responsibility for their vessels and operations under
Coast Guard oversight. We made no changes from the proposed rule based
on these comments.

IV. Discussion of Final Rule

    This final rule amends 46 CFR 2.01-25(a)(1) and (a)(2) to:
     List all SOLAS certificates required to be maintained
aboard ships, including the High-Speed Craft Safety Certificate; and
     Update the lists of SOLAS certificates that the Coast
Guard issues and that can be issued by an authorized classification
society on the Coast Guard's behalf.
    In the proposed regulatory text of the May 2007 NPRM, we omitted
the HSC Safety certificate from the list of IMO certificates the Coast
Guard would issue, but we did reference such an update in the preamble
of the NPRM (72 FR 28651). Therefore, in this final rule we added a
paragraph (ix) to Sec.  2.01-25(a)(2) to include HSC Safety in the list
of certificates issued by the Coast Guard.
    In Sec.  2.01-25(a)(3), we changed the phrase ``American Bureau of
Shipping'' to ``authorized classification society.''
    In Sec.  8.320(b), we added the following IMO certificates to the
list of those that can be issued by an authorized classification
society:
     Passenger Ship Safety Certificate, and
     High-Speed Craft Safety Certificate.
    Also, in Sec.  8.420(c), we added to the list of conditions for
eligibility to participate in the ACP, a requirement that a
classification society must have been delegated issuing authority for
the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate, Cargo Ship Safety
Equipment Certificate, International Load Line Certificate,
International Tonnage Certificate, and International Oil Pollution
Prevention Certificate.
    Finally, in new Sec.  189.15-5, we expand the ACP to include
Subchapter U ``Oceanographic Research Vessels.''

V. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does
not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    This rule will not impose mandatory costs on the public because it
enables voluntary alternatives to inspections by Coast Guard personnel.
We anticipate that vessel owners and operators will realize potential
cost savings due to the expansion of the ACP. In this rule, we add to
the delegation of certain inspections (and the resulting issuance of
certain certificates) to classification societies that potentially
leads to a

reduction of time and resources for plan review and the vessel
inspection process.

B. Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    In the NPRM, we certified under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that the proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities and we requested public comments on this
certification. We received no comments on this certification and adopt
it as final.
    This rule does not change any requirements in the regulations. It
simply updates and expands an existing voluntary program for alternate
compliance with Coast Guard regulations. Therefore, the Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

C. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule so they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the rule affects
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please consult Mr. William Peters, U.S. Coast Guard Office of Design
and Engineering Standards, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Coast Guard will
not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about
this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

D. Collection of Information

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

E. Federalism

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

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

G. Taking of Private Property

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

H. Civil Justice Reform

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

I. Protection of Children

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

J. Indian Tribal Governments

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

K. Energy Effects

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

L. Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in lieu of government-unique standards in their regulatory activities
unless the agency determines use of these standards would be
inconsistent with law or are otherwise impractical. Agencies not using
voluntary consensus standards in lieu of government-unique standards
must provide Congress, through the Office of Management and Budget,
with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent
with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus
standards are technical standards (e.g. specifications of materials,
performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures;
and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted
by voluntary consensus standard bodies.
    This rule does not use voluntary consensus standards as there are
none that meet the objectives of this rulemaking, and, therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

M. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under
section 2.B.2. Figure 2-1, paragraph 34(b), (d), and (e) of the
Instruction and neither an environmental assessment nor an
environmental impact statement is required. This rule involves the
delegation of authority, the inspection and documentation of vessels,
and equipment approval and carriage requirements. An environmental
analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012-17-13,
which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 707 airplanes, and
Model 720 and 720B series airplanes. For certain airplanes, AD 2012-17-
13 required using redefined flight cycle counts; determining the type
of material of the horizontal stabilizer, rear spar, and upper and
lower chords on the inboard and outboard ends of the rear spar;
repetitively inspecting for cracking of the horizontal stabilizer
components; and repairing or replacing the chord, or modifying chord
segments made of 7079 aluminum, if necessary. For all airplanes, AD
2012-17-13 required inspecting certain structurally significant items,
and repairing discrepancies if necessary. This new AD adds a
requirement to replace all chord segments made of 7079 aluminum with

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2012-17-13, Amendment 39-17176 (77 FR 55681,
September 11, 2012) (``AD 2012-17-13''). AD 2012-17-13 applied to
certain The Boeing Company Model 707 airplanes, and Model 720 and 720B
series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July
30, 2015 (80 FR 45453) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by a
determination that all chord segments made of 7079 aluminum must be
replaced with new, improved chord segments made of 7075 aluminum. The
NPRM proposed to continue to require, for certain airplanes, using
redefined flight cycle counts, determining the type of material of the
horizontal stabilizer, rear spar, and upper and lower chords on the
inboard and outboard ends of the rear spar; repetitively inspecting for
cracking of the horizontal stabilizer components; and repairing or
replacing the chord, or modifying chord segments made from 7079
aluminum, if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to continue to require,
for all airplanes, inspecting certain structurally significant items,
and repairing discrepancies if necessary. The NPRM proposed to add a
requirement to replace all chord segments made of 7079 aluminum with
new, improved chord segments made of 7075 aluminum. We are issuing this
AD to detect and correct stress corrosion and potential early fatigue
cracking in the horizontal stabilizer, which could compromise the
structural integrity of the stabilizer.

Comments

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

Request To Clarify Certain Language in Paragraph (i) of the Proposed AD

    Boeing asked that we clarify the description of the affected
components specified in paragraph (i) of the proposed AD, which is a
restatement of paragraph (i) of AD 2012-17-13. Boeing stated that the
intent of paragraph (i) of AD 2012-17-13 was to specify the inspection
requirements for rear spar upper inboard chord segments made from 7075
aluminum. Boeing added that the restatement in paragraph (i) of the
proposed AD specifies, ``For all airplanes with horizontal stabilizer
components made from 7075 . . .'' and noted that this description could
apply to any chord segment, not just the inboard upper. Boeing asked
that the description be clarified to specify ``any horizontal
stabilizer with a rear spar upper inboard chord segment made from 7075
aluminum, as determined during the inspection required by paragraph (h)
of this AD.''
    We agree to clarify paragraph (i) of this AD. The inspection
required by paragraph (i) of this AD must be done on upper chords made
from 7075 aluminum that are on the inboard end of the rear spar, as
specified in Boeing 707 Alert Service Bulletin A3515, dated December
19, 2007; and Boeing 707 Alert Service Bulletin A3515, Revision 1,
dated October 10, 2014; which are the appropriate sources of service
information for accomplishing the required actions. We have revised
paragraph (i) of this AD to clarify the inspection requirements. No
additional action is necessary for operators that have already complied
with paragraph (i) of this AD.

Request To Clarify Certain Language in Paragraph (j) of the Proposed AD

    Boeing also asked that we clarify the language in the restatement
of actions specified in paragraph (j) of the proposed AD in order to
specify that the inspections in paragraph (i) of the proposed AD can
only be deferred for 4,000 flight cycles if the upper inboard chord is
replaced with a new chord. Boeing stated that changing paragraph (i) of
the proposed AD ensures that it is clear that the inspection can only
be deferred for 4,000 flight cycles if the upper inboard chord is
replaced.
    We agree with the commenter for the reason provided. We have
changed paragraph (j) of this AD to specify ``For airplanes on which
the rear spar upper inner chord is replaced with a new chord . . . :''

Request To Clarify Certain Language in Paragraph (q) of the Proposed AD

    Boeing also asked that we clarify the language in the new actions
specified in paragraph (q) of the proposed AD. Boeing stated that
paragraph (j) of the proposed AD states when to resume the inspections
after the chord is replaced. Boeing added that paragraph (i) of the
proposed AD states the type of inspection and the repetitive inspection
interval. Therefore, Boeing stated that paragraph (q) of the proposed
AD should point to paragraph (i) of the proposed AD.
    We agree to clarify paragraph (q) of this AD. As noted above,
paragraph (j) of the this AD specifies inspecting the new chord within
4,000 flight cycles after the chord replacement, as required by
paragraph (i) of this AD, and repeating the inspections thereafter at
the times specified in paragraph (i) of this AD. Therefore, we have
included similar language in paragraph (q) of this AD.

Request To Clarify Service Information References

    In addition, Boeing asked that we include 707 in the title for
``Boeing Service Bulletin 3381,'' as identified in paragraphs (k) and
(l) of the proposed AD, to be consistent with all the other service
information references in the NPRM.
    We agree with the commenter for the reasons provided. We have
changed the service information references in paragraphs (k)(3)(i) and
(l) of this AD to specify ``Boeing 707 Service Bulletin 3381.''
    Boeing also asked that we change the semi-colon (located between
the service information references) in paragraph (k)(3)(ii) of the
proposed AD to a comma, because it breaks up the sentence in an
unintended way.
    We do not agree to change the semi-colon in paragraph (k)(3)(ii) of
this AD. In ADs, we use a semi-colon to separate service information
references, except in cases where the semi-colon between service
information might cause confusion, e.g., a sentence that already uses
semi-colons between text other than the service information. The semi-
colon in paragraph (k)(3)(ii) of this AD does not change the intent of
that paragraph. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described
previously, and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing 707 Alert Service Bulletin A3515, Revision 1,
dated October 10, 2014. The service

information describes procedures for incorporating a new cycle counting
procedure, determining the material for the horizontal stabilizer rear
spar chord segment, inspecting for stress corrosion cracking and
fatigue cracking, repair, and replacing all chord segments made of 7079
aluminum with new, improved chord segments made of 7075 aluminum. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 10 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 The parts for the modification could cost up to $2.28 million per airplane, depending on whether only one
  operator is ordering the parts or multiple operators. The parts cost will go down if multiple operators order
  parts at the same time.
2 The number of chords which must be replaced on each specific airplane varies.

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

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP19-481-000]

Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization; Transcontinental
Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC

    Take notice that on June 21, 2019, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC (Transco), Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251,
filed in Docket No. CP19-481-000 a prior notice request pursuant to
sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) to abandon, partially in place and partially by
removal, supply lateral pipelines located in offshore federal waters
near Louisiana. Specifically, Transco proposes to abandon an
approximately 19.24-mile, 10-inch-diameter pipeline extending subsea
from Ship Shoal Block 169 to Ship Shoal Block 87, Platform B, and an
approximately 1.06-mile, 8-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Ship
Shoal Block 87, Platform B to Ship Shoal Block 72 subsea tie-in (Supply
Laterals).
    Transco states that the abandonment of the Supply Laterals will
have no impact on the daily design capacity of, or operating conditions
on, Transco's pipeline system, nor will the abandonment have any
adverse impact on Transco's existing customers. Additionally, Transco
states that the Supply Laterals have not provided service to any
customers during the previous 12 months and are not covered under a
firm contract. Transco estimates the total cost of the abandonment to
be approximately $2.4 million, 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, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to
Charlotte Hutson Director, Rates & Regulatory, Transcontinental Gas
Pipe Line Company, LLC, Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251-
1396, by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to section 157.205 of
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    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 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 EA.
    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 commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, and will be
notified of any meetings associated with the Commission's environmental
review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve
copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party
commenters, will not receive copies of all documents filed by other
parties or 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 seven copies of the protest or intervention to
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE,
Washington, DC 20426.

    Dated: June 27, 2019.
