DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2012-0083]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated October 5, 2012, New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit) has petitioned
the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations at
49 CFR part 218, Railroad Operating Practices. FRA assigned the
petition Docket Number FRA-2012-0083.
    NJ Transit owns and operates service on the Pascack Valley Line,
which runs from Spring Valley, NY to Hoboken, NJ. Commuter rail service
for the three stations in New York State (Spring Valley, Pearl River,
and Nanuet) is provided under contract with Metro-North Railroad.
Woodbine Yard, located in Spring Valley, NY, has been in service long
before NJ Transit became operational on January 1, 1983. The yard
consists of three tracks terminating at the end of the 31-mile Pascack
Valley Line. In 2003, the yard was expanded and updated to make room
for additional commuter rail service on the line. All three tracks were
extended to the maximum distance allowed by the available land for
train storage and use by mechanical personnel for inspection,
servicing, and repairs that require Blue Signal Protection.
    The current Mechanical Department workforce at this facility
includes approximately 24 employees inspecting, servicing, and
repairing approximately 10 trains per day. The allotted times for
servicing equipment are restricted due to train availability, time of
day, and train scheduling requirements. Currently, all three tracks are
used for inspection, servicing, and repairs that require Blue Signal
Protection. The maximum track space on each track is being used to
accommodate the current length of the train consists. However,
complying with the current regulations requiring derails to be placed
150 feet away from equipment requiring Blue Signal Protection will
restrict the train lengths that can be placed on a given track. In
addition, lining and locking a track switch away from the track being
protected will restrict the amount of equipment that can be
simultaneously inspected, serviced, or repaired.
    Based on the situation described above, NJ Transit seeks a waiver
from 49 CFR Section 218.29(c)(1) for Woodbine Yard in Spring Valley,
NY. This section requires that derails protecting tracks under Blue
Signal Protection be placed ``no less than 150 feet'' from equipment
and locked ``with an effective locking device.'' The combination of the
yard layout at Spring Valley and equipment track occupancy is such that
meeting this requirement is impractical. In addition, the layout of
switches to individual tracks is such that the use of the method of
lining switches against movement as provided by Section 218.27(b) is
also impractical due to track configuration and the necessity to
inspect, service, and repair equipment on the adjacent tracks
simultaneously. In lieu of Section 218.29(c)(1), NJ Transit requests
that FRA grant permission to NJ Transit to use Section 218.29(a)(4)
that permits the placement of derails at least 50 feet from the end

of the equipment requiring Blue Signal Protection if the speed within
the area is restricted to not more than 5 mph.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.

Fw: question regarding - Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - Ban on Sale or

Distribution of Pre-Charged Appliances

"Mullenhard, Peter M.", Cindy Newberg

Mark,

We are currently drafting a final version of the rule that proposed a ban

on the sale and distribution of a/c and refrigeration equipment and

equipment components, such as condensing units, that are pre-charged with

R-22 (www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/2008/December/Day-23/a29999.pdf).   As

proposed, no person may sell or distribute air conditioning or

refrigeration equipment (including appliances and equipment components)

that are pre-charged with R-22 as of January 1, 2010.  The EPA proposal

did not make special provisions for equipment charged with R-22 that was

produced before January 1, 2010.  Note that the proposed prohibition does

not apply to equipment using reclaimed R-22 that has been reprocessed by

an EPA refrigerant reclaimer.

 In order to provide for a smooth transition out of R-22, (in a separate

rulemaking) EPA proposed to allow the use of virgin R-22 for the service

of existing equipment

(www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/2008/December/Day-23/a29965.pdf). The intent

of the proposal is to ban the use of R-22 in new installations, while

allowing the service of existing systems until they reach their normal

end-of-life.

While I have stated the intent of the proposal, there is no final rule as

of yet; therefore I cannot give you a definitive answer until the rule is

signed.  EPA understands the time sensitivity of this important action.

We anticipate a final version of the rule to be published by late fall.

EPA will post a copy of the rule on-line (www.epa.gov/ozone/strathome.html

) as soon as the final version can be made public.   Additional

information is available at

http://www.epa.gov/ozone/title6/phaseout/rulesoverview.html and

Subject:	question regarding - Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - Ban on Sale

or Distribution of Pre-Charged Appliances

Cindy,

I have a question regarding the "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - Ban on

Sale or Distribution of Pre-Charged Appliances".  Could you please advise

as to the status?  Would it be a correct interpretation of the current

rules that a manufacturer can continue to build new equipment that uses

R-22 after December 31, 2009 but it must be charged with refrigerant

manufactured prior to December 31, 2009?  If the proposed rule was passed

would this mean that manufactures could no longer produce equipment using

R-22 after December 31, 2009 (even using R-22 manufactured prior to

December 31, 2009)?

The Navy has Mobile Shelters that previously / currently use R-22 air

conditioners and we are transitioning to air conditioners that use

R-134a.  Because of modifications required to the Mobile Shelters we may

not be ready for installation of R-134a ECU's in the fielded Mobile

Shelters (we have approximately 5,000 Mobile Shelters) by December 31,

2009 and I am trying confirm we still will be allowed by the rules to

purchase R-22 air conditioners after December 31, 2009 provided they are

charged with R-22 manufactured prior to December 31, 2009.

Please contact me if you need any additional information.

thanks

Mr. Beard,

We are currently drafting a final version of the rule that proposed a ban

on the sale and distribution of a/c and refrigeration appliances and

equipment components (such as condensing units, linesets, acoils) that are

pre-charged with R-22

(www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/2008/December/Day-23/a29999.pdf).   As

proposed, as of January 1, 2010 no person may sell or distribute air

conditioning or refrigeration equipment (including appliances and

equipment components) that are pre-charged with R-22.  While this proposal

allows for the sale of inventoried components that were manufactured prior

to January 1, 2010, under a separate proposal

(www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/2008/December/Day-23/a29965.pdf) such

components could not be used in new construction and would only be allowed

to service existing R-22 systems.

EPA understands the time sensitivity of these important actions.   We

anticipate final versions of the rules to be published later this year.

EPA will post copies on-line(www.epa.gov/ozone/strathome.html) as soon as

the final versions can be made public.   Additional information is

Ms. Bohman,

I am e-mailing you in hope of obtaining clarification of the R-22

equipment phase out schedule. As you probably know rumors are running

rampant about this subject. My question to you is, as an HVAC distributor,

am I going to be allowed to sell R-22 air conditioning equipment after

January the 1st , 2010, provided that it has been manufactured prior to

this date. Any insight you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Mr. Reyes,

We are currently drafting a final version of the rule that proposed a ban

on the sale and distribution of a/c and refrigeration appliances and

equipment components (such as but not limited to condensing units,

linesets, acoils) that are pre-charged with R-22

(www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/2008/December/Day-23/a29999.pdf).

As proposed, as of January 1, 2010 no person may sell or distribute air

conditioning or refrigeration equipment (including appliances and

equipment components) that are pre-charged with R-22.  So if the proposal

is finalized, as of the first of next year you would not be able to import

components that are precharged with R-22.  The proposal did not

specifically address the transhipment of parts that are not intended to

enter U.S. commerce.  We will address such imports in the final rule.

EPA understands the time sensitivity of this important action.   We

anticipate a final version of the rule to be published later this year.

Airworthiness Directives; De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited
(Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-401 and -402
airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of a possible hard
contact between the #2 top high level sensor (HLS) terminal screw head
and the #6 outer wing fuel access panel stiffener flange. This proposed
AD would require removing and replacing or reworking the #6 outer wing
fuel access panel assembly. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket
for this rulemaking.

Background

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF-2021-08, dated March 9,
2021 (TCCA AD CF-2021-08) (also referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-
8-401 and -402 airplanes, serial numbers 4001 and 4003 through 4628
inclusive. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-
0694.
    This proposed AD was prompted by the discovery that as a result of
build tolerances, a hard contact could occur between the #2 top HLS
terminal screw head and the #6 outer wing fuel access panel stiffener
flange. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the possibility of
electrical arcing during a lightning strike, which could be a source of
ignition inside the fuel tank. See the MCAI for additional background
information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited has issued Service Bulletin
84-57-35, Revision A, dated February 11, 2021. This service information
describes procedures for replacing or reworking the #6 outer wing fuel
access panel assembly. The rework involves an eddy current or
fluorescent liquid penetrant inspection of the rework area for crack
indications. 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.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
and service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD
because the FAA evaluated all the relevant information and determined
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 54 airplanes of U.S. registry. For either replacement or repair
of the #6 outer wing fuel access panel, depending on the option
selected by the operator to comply with this proposed AD, the FAA
estimates the following costs:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Action                      Labor cost                 Parts cost              Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replacement.....................  Up to 10 work-hours x     Up to $16,430............  Up to $17,280.
                                   $85 per hour = Up to
                                   $850.
Repair..........................  13 work-hours x $85 per   $49......................  $1,154.
                                   hour = $1,105.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected operators.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Summary of Information About the Integrated Risk Information System
(IRIS)

    IRIS is a database that contains potential adverse human health
effects information that may result from chronic (or lifetime) exposure
to specific chemical substances found in the environment. The database
(available on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/iris) contains
qualitative and quantitative health effects information for more than
540 chemical substances that may be used to support the first two steps
(hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of a risk
assessment process. When supported by available data, the database
provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and inhalation reference
concentrations (RfCs) for chronic health effects, and oral slope
factors and inhalation unit risks for carcinogenic effects. Combined
with specific exposure information, government and private entities can
use IRIS data to help characterize public health risks of chemical
substances in a site-specific situation and thereby support risk
management decisions designed to protect public health.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-69790; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2013-59]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Amending Commentary
.02 to NYSE Arca Options Rule 6.72 To Extend the Penny Pilot in Options
Classes in Certain Issues Through December 31, 2013

June 18, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that on June 10, 2013, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``Exchange'' or ``NYSE
Arca'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .02 to NYSE Arca Options
Rule 6.72 in order to extend the Penny Pilot in options classes in
certain issues (``Pilot Program'') previously approved by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') through December
31, 2013. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the Exchange's principal office
and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange hereby proposes to amend Commentary .02 to Exchange
Rule 6.72 to extend the time period of the Pilot Program,\4\ which is
currently scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013 through December 31,
2013.\5\ The Exchange also proposes that the dates to replace issues in
the Pilot Program that have been delisted be revised to the second
trading day following July 1, 2013.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69106 (March 11,
2013), 78 FR 16552 (March 15, 2013) (SR-NYSEArca-2013-22).
    \5\ The Exchange has filed to make the Pilot Program permanent.
See SR-NYSEArca-2013-42.
    \6\ The month immediately preceding a replacement class's
addition to the Pilot Program (i.e., June) would not be used for
purposes of the analysis for determining the replacement class.
Thus, a replacement class to be added on the second trading day
following July 1, 2013 would be identified based on The Option
Clearing Corporation's trading volume data from December 1, 2012
through May 31, 2013. The Exchange will announce the replacement
issues to the Exchange's membership through a Trader Update.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This filing does not propose any substantive changes to the Pilot
Program: All classes currently participating will remain the same and
all minimum increments will remain unchanged. The Exchange believes the
benefits to public customers and other market participants who will be
able to express their true prices to buy and sell options have been
demonstrated to outweigh the increase in quote traffic.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) \7\ of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''), in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\8\ in particular, in that it is
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of
a free and open market and a national market system. The Exchange
believes that the Pilot Program promotes just and equitable principles
of trade by enabling public customers and other market participants to
express their true prices to buy and sell options. The proposal to
extend the Pilot Program is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open
market and a national market system, by allowing the Exchange and the
Commission additional time to analyze the impact of the Pilot Program
while also allowing the Exchange to continue to compete for order flow
with other exchanges in option issues trading as part of the Pilot
Program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on Competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Specifically, the Exchange
believes that, by extending the expiration of the Pilot Program, the
proposed rule change will allow for further analysis of the Pilot
Program and a determination of how the Program should be structured in
the future. In doing so, the proposed rule change will also serve to
promote regulatory clarity and consistency, thereby reducing burdens on
the marketplace and facilitating investor protection. The

Pilot Program is an industry wide initiative supported by all other
option exchanges. The Exchange believes that extending of the Pilot
Program will allow for continued competition between market
participants on the NYSE Arca trading similar products as their
counterparts on other exchanges, while at the same time allowing the
Exchange to continue to compete for order flow with other exchanges in
option issues trading as part of the Pilot Program.

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

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

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\12\

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing.\13\
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\14\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Commission believes
that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because doing so will
allow the Pilot Program to continue without interruption in a manner
that is consistent with the Commission's prior approval of the
extension and expansion of the Pilot Program and will allow the
Exchange and the Commission additional time to analyze the impact of
the Pilot Program.\15\ Accordingly, the Commission designates the
proposed rule change as operative upon filing with the Commission.\16\

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change along with a
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this pre-filing requirement.

2009), 74 FR 62857 (December 1, 2009) (SR-NYSEArca-2009-44). See
also supra note 4.
    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
