SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

     This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including: environmental,
human health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry,
pesticide users, and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or the use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA seeks public comment on petitions from the National Resources
Defense Council (NRDC) and Pesticide Action Network North America
(PANNA) requesting that EPA revoke all tolerances for endosulfan. These
petitions, available in EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0615, were submitted on
February 19, 2008 in response to EPA's 2007 human health and ecological
effects assessment updates for endosulfan (Federal Register of November
16, 2007; 72 FR 64624; FRL-8339-5). The updated assessments, as well as
the 2002 endosulfan registration eligibility decision, are available in
the electronic docket at http://www.regulations.gov under docket number
EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0944.
    Although the petitions requested both cancellation and revocation
of tolerances, this notice is seeking public comment only on the
requests to revoke all tolerances for residues of endosulfan
established under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) and
codified at 40 CFR 180.182.
    EPA will issue a separate Federal Register notice in early 2009
soliciting public comment on the NRDC and PANNA petitions' requests to
cancel all uses of endosulfan under section 6 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136d(b)).
The notice will be issued in conjunction with a request for public
comment on findings from an October 2008 Scientific Advisory Panel
(SAP) meeting on Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxicants (PBTs).
    Through this current notice, EPA is also soliciting information
from the public on endosulfan residues in/on commodities consumed by
Alaska

Natives, as well as additional information on endosulfan
bioaccumulation, persistence, toxicity, monitoring and transport, and
ecological incidents. This information will support EPA compliance with
Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice
in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations.
    To-date, EPA has received and reviewed the following studies to
better assess dietary risk to Alaska Natives from endosulfan residues:
    1. Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Fish Monitoring
Program: Analysis of Organic Contaminants;
    2. EPA Region 10 Columbia River Basin Fish Contaminant Survey 1996-
1998;
    3. EPA Region 10 Survey of Chemical Contaminants in Fish,
Invertebrates, and Plants Collected in the Vicinity of Tyonek,
Seldovia, Port Graham and Nanwalek and Cook Inlet, Alaska;
    4. National Park Service Western Airborne Contaminants Assessment
Project (WACAP) data; and
    5. Kelly, et al. ``Food Web-Specific Biomagnification of Persistent
Organic Pollutants,'' published July 13, 2007 in Science , vol. 317,
no. 5835, pp. 236 - 239.
The studies listed in this unit are available in docket ID number EPA-
HQ-OPP-2008-0615.
    EPA asks that comments on the NRDC and PANNA petitions' requests to
revoke all tolerances for residues of endosulfan be submitted within 60
days. Submission of information on endosulfan residues in/on
commodities consumed by Alaska Natives should also be submitted within
60 days.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-82456; File No. SR-BOX-2017-33]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX Options Exchange LLC; Order
Approving a Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Minimum Order Size for
the Floor Broker Guarantee Provided in BOX Rule 7600(f)

January 8, 2018.

I. Introduction

    On November 6, 2017, BOX Options Exchange LLC (the ``Exchange'' or
``BOX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend the minimum eligible order size from 500
contracts to 50 contracts to qualify for the Floor Broker guarantee
described in BOX Rule 7600(f). The proposed rule change was published
for comment in the Federal Register on November 24, 2017.\3\ The
Commission received no comments on the proposed rule change. This order
approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 82112 (November 17,
2017), 82 FR 55895 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For a more detailed description of the proposed rule change,
see Notice, supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, BOX Rule 7600(f) provides that a Floor Broker holding an
order of the eligible order size or greater is entitled to cross, after
all equal or better priced Public Customer bids or offers on the BOX
Book and any non-Public Customer bids or offers that are ranked ahead
of such Public Customer bids or offers are filled, 40% of the remaining
contracts in the order with other orders he is holding.\5\ Under the
current rule, the Exchange may determine, on an option by option basis,
the eligible order size for an order that may be transacted pursuant to
BOX Rule 7600(f), but the minimum eligible order size may not be less
than 500 contracts.\6\ Under the proposed rule change, the Exchange
proposes to reduce the minimum eligible order size from 500 contracts
to 50 contracts.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See BOX Rule 7600(f).
    \6\ See BOX Rule 7600(f)(2). Pursuant to BOX Rule 7600(f)(2),
the Exchange is required to communicate any changes to the eligible
order size to Participants via circular.
    \7\ See proposed BOX Rule 7600(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\8\
In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ which requires, among
other things, that the Exchange's rules be designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission notes
that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that the proposed rule change does not modify
the size of the Floor Broker guarantee, but rather modifies the size of
the order necessary in order to receive the guarantee. Orders submitted
by Floor Brokers for execution must execute at a price equal to or
better than the NBBO and (1) may not trade through any equal or better
priced Public Customer bids or offers on the BOX Book \10\ or any non-
Public Customer bids or offers on the BOX Book that are ranked ahead of
such equal or better priced Public Customer bids or offers, and (2) may
not trade through any non-Public Customer bids or offers on the BOX
Book that are priced better than the proposed execution price.\11\ In
addition, the Commission notes that the proposed change is similar to
the rules of other options exchanges \12\ and therefore, the Commission
does not believe that the reduction in the minimum order size
requirement raises any new regulatory issues.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See BOX Rule 100(a)(10) (defining BOX Book).
    \11\ See BOX Rule 7600(c).
    \12\ See Cboe Options Rule 6.74(d) and NYSE Arca Inc. Rule 6.47-
O(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the foregoing reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \13\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\14\ that the proposed rule change (SR-BOX-2017-33), be, and it
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

Assistant Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2013-0085]

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 June 12, 2013, the Commuter Rail Division of the Regional
Transportation Authority (Metra) and its operating company, the
Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corporation, jointly with
its contract carriers, Union Pacific Railroad (UP) and BNSF Railway
(BNSF), have petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a
waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad
safety regulations contained at 49 CFR Part 236, Rules, Standards, and
Instructions Governing the Installation, Inspection, Maintenance, and
Repair of Signal and Train Control Systems, Devices, and Appliances.
FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0085.
    Metra seeks a waiver from the requirements of 49 CFR 236.566,
Locomotive of each train operating in train stop, train control, or cab
signal territory; equipped. Specifically, Metra requests that the
application of Sec.  236.566 allow trains with failures of automatic
train stop (ATS), automatic train control (ATC), or automatic cab
signal (ACS) on passenger equipment at outlying facilities to proceed
into ATS-, ATC-, or ACS-equipped territory and operate to their
respective designated repair points under the same provisions allowed
for in Sec.  236.567, Restrictions imposed when device fails and/or is
cut out en route. This will require Sec.  236.829, Terminal, initial,
to be defined in a manner that allows the initial terminal to be the
designated ``repair point'' as defined in Sec.  238.5, Definitions: ``A
location designated by a railroad where repairs of the type necessary
occur on a regular basis. A repair point has, or should have, the
facilities, tools, and personnel qualified to make the necessary
repairs. A repair point need not be staffed continuously.''
    This waiver petition applies to five Metra lines where ATS, ATC, or
ACS is in effect. Those lines are Metra's Rock Island Line (ACS), UP's
North and Northwest Lines (ATS), UP's West Line (ATC), and BNSF's
Aurora Line (ACS). The Metra lines described in this waiver petition
operate across three Metra districts. Each of these districts has a
single, designated repair point, located near a downtown terminal
(LaSalle Street, Ogilvie Transportation Center, and Chicago Union
Station). The outlying facilities (Joliet, Blue Island, Elburn,
Harvard, McHenry, Crystal Lake, Barrington, Waukegan, Kenosha, and
Aurora) are currently used for overnight storage in preparation of
morning service. These outlying facilities are intended for minimal
maintenance and are not designed to handle major repairs. As a result,
any failures of train stop, train control, or cab signal must be
corrected at the designated repair points, not the outlying facilities.
Typically, when failures occur, the equipment must be moved in
nonrevenue service to the designated repair point in order to be
repaired. However, this only applies to those repairs that cannot be
readily performed at outlying facilities. When possible, minor repairs
are made at outlying facilities and this will continue to remain true
if the waiver is granted.
    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.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: Docket Operations Facility, U.S. Department of

     Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
    Communications received by November 18, 2013 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered as far as practicable.
    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any written
communications and comments received into any of our dockets by the
name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the document,
if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-69393; File No. SR-ISE-2013-32]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend the Market Maker Plus Rebate Program

April 18, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on April 10, 2013, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the proposed rule change, as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. 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\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The ISE proposes to amend the Market Maker Plus rebate program. The
text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web
site (http://www.ise.com), at the principal office of the Exchange, 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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange currently assesses per contract transaction fees and
provides rebates to market participants that add or remove liquidity
from the Exchange (``maker/taker fees and rebates'') in all symbols
that are in the Penny Pilot program (the ``Select Symbols''). The fee
change discussed below applies to both standard options and mini
options traded on the Exchange. The Exchange's Schedule of Fees has
separate tables for fees and rebates applicable to standard options and
mini options. The Exchange notes that while the discussion below
relates to fees and rebates for standard options, the fees and rebates
for mini options, which are not discussed below, are and shall continue
to be 1/10th of the fees and rebates for standard options.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See SR-ISE-2013-28 (not yet published) [sic].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's maker/taker fees and rebates apply to the following
categories of market participants: (i) Market Maker; \4\ (ii) Market
Maker Plus; (iii)

Non-ISE Market Maker; \5\ (iv) Firm Proprietary/Broker-Dealer; (v)
Professional Customer; \6\ and (vi) Priority Customer.\7\ In order to
promote and encourage liquidity in the Select Symbols, the Exchange
currently offers a $0.10 per contract rebate to Market Makers if the
quotes they send to the Exchange qualify the Market Maker to become a
Market Maker Plus. The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend
the Exchange's Market Maker Plus rebate incentive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The term ``Market Makers'' refers to ``Competitive Market
Makers'' and ``Primary Market Makers'' collectively. See ISE Rule
100(a)(25).
    \5\ A Non-ISE Market Maker, or Far Away Market Maker
(``FARMM''), is a market maker as defined in Section 3(a)(38) of the

    \6\ A Professional Customer is a person who is not a broker/
dealer and is not a Priority Customer.
    \7\ A Priority Customer is defined in ISE Rule 100(a)(37A) as a

not place more than 390 orders in listed options per day on average
during a calendar month for its own beneficial account(s).

    A Market Maker Plus is a Market Maker who is on the National Best
Bid or National Best Offer 80% of the time for series trading between
$0.03 and $5.00 (for options whose underlying stock's previous trading
day's last sale price was less than or equal to $100) and between $0.10
and $5.00 (for options whose underlying stock's previous trading day's
last sale price was greater than $100) in premium in each of the front
two expiration months and 80% of the time for series trading between
$0.03 and $5.00 (for options whose underlying stock's previous trading
day's last sale price was less than or equal to $100) and between $0.10
and $5.00 (for options whose underlying stock's previous trading day's
last sale price was greater than $100) in premium for all expiration
months in that symbol during the current trading month. A Market
Maker's single best and single worst overall quoting days each month,
on a per symbol basis, is excluded in calculating whether a Market
Maker qualifies for this rebate, if doing so will qualify a Market
Maker for the rebate.\8\

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

    The Exchange now proposes to amend the fees and rebates for Market
Makers who attain Market Maker Plus status. Specifically, Market Makers
qualifying for Market Maker Plus in the Select Symbols will pay no fee
and receive no rebate when providing liquidity against a Priority
Customer Complex order that legs into the regular orderbook.
    The Exchange currently provides Market Makers a report on a daily
basis with quoting statistics so that Market Makers can determine
whether or not they are meeting the Exchange's current stated criteria.
The Exchange will continue to provide Market Makers a daily report so
that Market Makers can track their quoting activity to determine
whether or not they qualify for the Market Maker Plus rebate.
    Since the rate changes to the Schedule of Fees pursuant to this
proposal will be effective upon filing, for the transactions occurring
in April 2013 prior to the effective date of this filing members will
be assessed the rates in effect immediately prior to those proposed by
this filing. For transactions occurring in April 2013 on and after the
effective date of this filing, members will be assessed the rates
proposed by this filing.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Schedule of
Fees is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934 (the ``Act'') \9\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \10\ in particular, in that it is an
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
Exchange members and other persons using its facilities. The impact of
the proposal upon the net fees paid by a particular market participant
will depend on a number of variables, most important of which will be
its propensity to add or remove liquidity in the Select Symbols and a
Market Maker's ability to qualify for Market Maker Plus status.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has determined to charge fees and provide rebates for
regular orders in mini options at a rate that is 1/10th the rate of
fees and rebates the Exchange currently provides for trading in
standard options. The Exchange believes it is reasonable and equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory to assess lower fees and rebates to
provide market participants an incentive to trade mini options on the
Exchange. The Exchange believes the proposed fees and rebates are
reasonable and equitable in light of the fact that mini options have a
smaller exercise and assignment value, specifically 1/10th that of a
standard option contract, and, as such, levying fees that are 1/10th of
what market participants pay today.
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change to not charge Market
Makers who qualify for Market Maker Plus status a fee or provide a
rebate when providing liquidity against a Priority Customer complex
order that legs into the regular orderbook is reasonable and equitable
because the purpose of the Market Maker Plus rebate is to incent
simple, non-complex order flow to the Exchange. The Exchange believes
the proposed rule change is also reasonable and equitable because it
will continue to differentiate Market Makers who meet higher quoting
standards and thereby encourage them to continue to post narrow and
liquid markets. The Exchange believes the proposed rule change will
also encourage Market Makers to post tighter markets in the Select
Symbols and thereby maintain liquidity and attract additional order
flow to the Exchange. The Market Maker Plus rebate employed by the
Exchange has proven to be an effective incentive for Market Makers to
provide liquidity in the Select Symbols.
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is not unfairly
discriminatory because it will uniformly apply to all Market Makers on
the Exchange. The Exchange further believes that the Exchange's Market
Maker Plus rebate is not unfairly discriminatory because this rebate
program is consistent with rebates that exist today at other options
exchanges. The Exchange believes that the Market Maker Plus rebate is a
competitive rebate and equivalent to incentives provided by other
exchanges and is therefore reasonable and equitably allocated to those
members that direct orders to the Exchange rather than to a competing
exchange. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market in which
market participants can readily direct order flow to another exchange
if they deem rebate levels at a particular exchange to be low.

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

    ISE believes that the proposed rule change, which will maintain
fees and rebates that are competitive and are within the range of fees
and rebates charged by other exchanges for similar orders, will not
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Indeed, as noted above, the
Exchange believes that the proposed change will promote competition
among Market Makers, as it is designed to allow Market Makers to post
tighter markets and compete for order flow and improve the Exchange's
competitive position.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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)(ii) of the Act \11\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\12\ because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by ISE.

    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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 777-300ER series airplanes. This AD was
prompted by a report that certain galley tripod mount assemblies were
not connected to the tie rods in the overhead support structure. This
AD requires an inspection of certain galleys for the presence of the
hardware that connects the tripod mount assembly to the tie rods in the
overhead support structure, and corrective actions if necessary. We are
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 9, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of August 9,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing Company
Model 777-300ER series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on November 17, 2016 (81 FR 81021) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM
was prompted by a report that the T53 and T52 tie rods to the tripod
mount assembly in the A2 and A3 galleys were found unattached during a
routine production inspection of certain airplanes before delivery. The
NPRM proposed to require an inspection of A2 and A3 galleys for the
presence of the hardware that connects the tripod mount assembly to the
tie rods in the overhead support structure, and corrective actions if
necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct an unconnected
galley tripod mount assembly to the tie rods in the overhead support
structure, which can cause a galley to come loose under a high dynamic
load, causing a risk of serious injury to passengers and the blocking
of evacuation routes.

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 the Inspection Type

    Boeing, Air New-Zealand (ANZ), and American Airlines (AA) requested
that we clarify whether the required inspection type is general visual
or detailed. The commenters noted that Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
777-25A0677, dated April 25, 2016, requires a general visual
inspection, while the proposed AD would require a detailed inspection.
ANZ inquired whether the detailed inspection was an additional
requirement or a terminology correction. Boeing requested that we
remove the detailed inspection description in paragraph (h) of the
proposed AD and replace it with a description of a general visual
inspection.
    We agree to clarify the inspection type required by this AD. A
general visual inspection is intended to detect obvious irregularities;
in this case, the irregularity to be detected--a missing pin or bolt
assembly that connects the tripod mount assembly to the applicable tie
rod--may not be obvious. A detailed inspection is therefore most
appropriate for this situation. We have not changed this AD in this
regard.

Request To Allow an Alternative Part

    AA requested that the proposed AD allow the use of a specific
alternative washer. AA provided no justification for this request.
    We infer that AA considers the use of alternative parts prohibited.
To clarify, substitutions are allowed under paragraph 3.A., Note 4., of
the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-
25A0677, dated April 25, 2016. Therefore, we have not changed this AD
in this regard.

Request To Add a Corrective Action

    AA requested that Boeing update Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-
25A0677, dated April 25, 2016, to add a corrective action if the
hardware is missing. AA stated that the service information specifies
to confirm the presence or absence of hardware, but gives no corrective
action if the hardware is missing.
    We do not control service bulletin changes, and we also disagree
with AA's characterization of the required actions. The service
information specifies inspecting to ``make sure the hardware (i.e., pin
assembly or bolt assembly) that connects the tripod mount assembly to
the T53 tie rod is installed.'' While investigating this issue, Boeing
found that the hardware was present, but not installed. Boeing has
confirmed that the service information does not need to include
corrective actions to address missing hardware. The hardware should be
present. If it is not, operators should install the correct hardware.
We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed, except for 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 Alert Service Bulletin 777-25A0677, dated April
25, 2016. The service information describes procedures for doing an
inspection of the area above the A2 and A3 galleys to make sure the
hardware (i.e., pin assembly or bolt assembly) that connects the tripod
mount assembly to the applicable T53 and T52 tie rods is installed, and
corrective actions. 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 4 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
                Action                         Labor cost           Parts cost        product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection............................  1 work-hour x $85 per                 $0             $85            $340
                                         hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this 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 available 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

    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.

principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Seattle ACO, to make those findings. To be approved, the
repair method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) For service information that contains steps that are labeled
as Required for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs
(i)(4)(i) and (i)(4)(ii) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in any of the above
proceedings must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of
self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not
institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice
of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides
notification that the entity making the filing has determined the
facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an
intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
14 copies of the intervention or protest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Commission's eLibrary system by clicking on the appropriate link in the
above list. They are also available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an eSubscription link
on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail notification
when a document is added to a subscribed dockets(s). For assistance
