SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The artificial pancreas is one of FDA's Critical Path Initiatives,
a program dedicated to accelerating the availability of much needed
medical products. The Interagency Artificial Pancreas Working Group, a
group of multi-disciplined scientists and clinicians from FDA and NIH,
was established to support this initiative. The goals of the Artificial
Pancreas Initiative are twofold: to provide infrastructure for
narrowing the gap between basic biomedical knowledge and clinical
application of novel technologies, and to cross-fertilize and partner
with stakeholders in order to identify and overcome the clinical and
scientific challenges to the development of an artificial pancreas.
Through collaborative efforts, such as this workshop, the group strives
to develop innovative strategies to achieve their goals.

II. Agenda

    World renowned experts will present information on topics that are
instrumental to the development of an artificial pancreas, and each
session will be followed by roundtable discussions. Session topics will
include:
     State of the art design of closed-loop glycemic control
systems
     Results of recently conducted clinical trials
     Clinical trial design, including how to define successes
and failures of closed-loop systems

     Algorithms and in silico models
     Engineering challenges
     Patient considerations
     Metabolic monitoring
     Use of closed-loop systems in non-diabetic intensive care
patients
     Paths for developing marketable closed-loop systems
    The agenda for this public workshop is available on the internet at
http://www.blsmeetings.net/artificialpancreas08/agenda.pdf.
    More information about this public workshop is available at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission gives notice of the proposed
establishment of a system of records, entitled ``Ethics Conduct Rules
Files (SEC-60).'' The system will contain information related to the
SEC's ``Regulation Concerning Conduct of Members and Employees and
Former Members and Employees of the Commission'' (``Ethics Conduct
Rules''), currently located at 17 CFR Part 200 Subpart M, including
outside employment and activities, and covered securities transactions,
securities holdings and securities accounts.
    On May 22, 2009, to consolidate related responsibilities, the
Commission transferred all the Commission's Ethics Rules
responsibilities that resided in the Office of Human Resources
(consisting particularly of the administration of all of the SEC Ethics
Conduct Rules files) to the Commission's Ethics Office. Consistent with
the transfer of responsibilities, the Commission is establishing a
system of records in the Ethics Office to maintain records related to
the Ethics Conduct Rules applicable to Commission Members and
employees, including reports on securities transactions, holdings, and
accounts required by applicable Federal securities laws and
regulations.
    The Commission has submitted a report of the system of records to
the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, the

House Committee on Government Reform, and the Office of Management and
Budget, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act of 1974, as
amended, and Appendix I to OMB Circular A-130, ``Federal Agency
Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals,'' as
amended on February 20, 1966 (61 FR 6435).
    Accordingly, the Commission is establishing a system of records to
read as follows:

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0547; Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-028-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 727-200 and 727-200F series airplanes.
This proposed AD is intended to complete certain mandated programs
intended to support the airplane reaching its limit of validity (LOV)
of the engineering data that support the established structural
maintenance program. This proposed AD would require a one-time
inspection for cracking of the pressure floor of both main wheel wells,
and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary; and
would require modifying the pressure floor of both main wheel wells. We
are proposing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking in the pressure floor
of the main wheel wells, which could lead to rapid loss of cabin
pressurization.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 3,
2013.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2013-0547;
Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-028-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    As described in FAA Advisory Circular 120-104 (http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/120-104.pdf), several programs
have been developed to support initiatives that will ensure the
continued airworthiness of aging airplane structure. The last element
of those initiatives is the requirement to establish a LOV of the
engineering data that support the structural maintenance program under
14 CFR 26.21. This AD is the result of an assessment of the previously
established programs by Boeing during the process of establishing the
LOV for Boeing Model 727 series airplanes. The action specified in this
proposed AD is necessary to complete certain programs to ensure the
continued airworthiness of aging airplane structure and to support an
airplane reaching its LOV.
    We have received reports of cracks in the pressure floor of the
main landing gear (MLG) wheel wells. Three operators reported cracks
from 25 to 48 inches long, resulting in rapid decompression of the
airplane. Twenty-four operators reported 67 airplanes with cracks up to
two inches located in the reinforcing beads on both sides of the frame.
This fatigue cracking, if not corrected, could result in rapid loss of
cabin pressurization.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 727-53A0124, Revision 3, dated
November 30, 1989. For information on the procedures and compliance
times, see this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by
searching for Docket No. FAA-2013-0547.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require a one-time eddy current inspection,
penetrant inspection, or detailed inspection for cracking of the
pressure floor of both main wheel wells as described in Part I,
``Inspection,'' of the Accomplishment Instructions of the service
information described previously, and related investigative and
corrective actions if necessary; and would also require accomplishing
the modification specified in Part III, ``Preventive Modification,'' of
the Accomplishment Instructions of the service information described
previously.
    The phrase ``related investigative actions'' is used in this
proposed AD. ``Related investigative actions'' are follow-on actions
that: (1) Are related to the primary actions, and (2) are actions that
further investigate the nature of any condition found. Related
investigative actions in an AD could include, for example, inspections.
    In addition, the phrase ``corrective actions'' is used in this
proposed AD. ``Corrective actions'' are actions that correct or address
any condition found. Corrective actions in an AD could include, for
example, repairs.

Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Prior to accomplishing the preventive modification, this proposed
AD would require a one-time inspection of the pressure floor for cracks
in both the right and left main wheel wells, and corrective actions if
necessary, in lieu of the repetitive inspections specified in Boeing
Service Bulletin 727-53A0124, Revision 3, dated November 30, 1989. The
repetitive inspections are addressed by AD 91-22-08, Amendment 39-8068
(56 FR 57233, November 8, 1991). Additionally, the applicability of
this proposed AD is different than the effectivity described in Boeing
Service Bulletin 727-53A0124, Revision 3, dated November 30, 1989.

Explanation of Compliance Time

    The compliance time for the modification specified in this proposed
AD for addressing WFD was established to ensure that discrepant
structure is modified before WFD develops in airplanes. Standard
inspection techniques cannot be relied on to detect WFD before it
becomes a hazard to flight. We will not grant any extensions of the
compliance time to complete any AD-mandated service bulletin related to
WFD without extensive new data that would substantiate and clearly
warrant such an extension.

Related Rulemaking

    AD 90-06-09, Amendment 39-6488 (55 FR 8370, March 7, 1990),
requires accomplishing the preventive modification specified in Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 727-53A0124, Revision 2, dated May 2, 1975, for
airplane line numbers 1 through 1102 inclusive. AD 91-22-08, Amendment
39-8068 (56 FR 57233, November 8, 1991), requires compliance with the
inspection and repair, if necessary specified in Boeing Service
Bulletin 727-53A0124, Revision

3, dated November 30, 1989, for airplane line numbers 1 through 1832
inclusive, but does not require the preventive modification.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 94 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

                                      per hour = $18,870.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed
AD.

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.

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

General Comment:To whom it may concern:

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

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

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

I have encountered some negative media regarding electronic cigarettes, and frankly, much of it is not based on actual science.  Although I am in agreement that regulation needs to occur, this does not take away from the fact that electronic cigarettes are likely a better alternative to smoking and this matter needs to be handled with care.

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

Subject
Conversion of cement kiln input to output

		Dear Courtney:

		Here is information the original source of the 1.65 factor of feed to
clinker:

		Docket item II-B-37, A-92-53 (this is the docket for the 1999 Portland
Cement NESHAP final rule), has a reference for the 1.65 lb feed/ton
clinker. It was RN Shreve, in Chemical Industries Processes (something
like that), 1967, p. 171. Apparently the original reference (Chemical
Industries Processes) is not in the docket.  In docket item II-A-1 or 2,
there was an EPA document on methods for measuring process feed rate. In
the appendix, a
footnote says a typical conversion is 1.6 tons feed per ton of clinker.

		I also talked to Hector Ybanez of Holcim (the author of the email I
sent).  Hector said the theoretical conversion is 1.58 lb feed yields 1.0
lb clinker.  In reality (due to dust losses) the factor is typically 1.59
to 1.6.  He described 1.65 as a "good safe number".

		hector said there may be some long dry of wet kilns that are around 1.7
due to dust removal that is done for product quality reasons, but there
will be no new long dry or wet kilns built, so these types of kilns are
not affected by this rulemaking.

		Using the "safe" number of 1.65 actually results in a higher standard when
converting from an input based standard to an output based standard.

		For example, Assume you currently have an input based standard of 0.3
lb/ton feed.

		A conversion factor of 1.65 results in an output based standard of 0.495

		A conversion factor of 1.6 results in an output based standard of 0.48.
Therefore, using the 1.65 factor results in a higher standard and give the
benefit of doubt to the source.

		I am also forwarding an email form Mike Laney on the Florida data.  I
assume the conversions in these data were based on site specific
information supplied to Florida by the plants.  The values are a little
higher than I would expect based on what Hector told me - ranging from
1.62 to 1.75 with and average of 1.69.  Maybe Florida raw materials have
more carbonate than is typical.  However, even the range of the Florida
data is only an 8 percent difference.  Given that these is already
considerable variability allowance already built into the proposed rules,
I would say this variation in input to output ration is not significant.

FL conversion factors

The conversion factor used for each kiln is shown on far right of
spreadsheet. You can also see that FL set some limits in both units of
lb/ton feed and  lb/ton clinker (limits in blue shaded cells were
calculated).
