14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-3140; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-063-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. 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 Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 300) airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by multiple reports of a short circuit
between the heater element and the metal sheath of the pitot-static
probe heater. This proposed AD would require replacement of the left
and right pitot-static probes with newly redesigned left and right
pitot-static probes. We are proposing this AD to prevent degradation of
the heating ability of the pitot-static probe heater, resulting in
erroneous airspeed indication during flight in icing conditions and
consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 14,
2015.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2015-04, dated March
17, 2015 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-100-1A10 (Challenger
300) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    There have been several reports where the pitot-static probe
heater came on and remained on regardless of the heater control
selected position. Investigation determined that the root cause is a
short circuit between the heater element and the metal sheath. If
not corrected, this condition may degrade the heating, resulting in
erroneous Airspeed Indication when flying in icing condition [and
consequent reduced controllability of the airplane].
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the replacement of the pitot-static
probes with a redesigned probe which will prevent this failure mode.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
3140.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Bombardier Service Bulletin 100-34-38, dated January 9,
2014. The service information describes procedures for replacement of
the left and right pitot-static probes with newly redesigned left and
right pitot-static probes, part numbers 0856WC3 and 0856WC4
respectively. 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 of this
NPRM.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our

bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have been
notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 126 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 12 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about
$13,468 per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $1,825,488, or $14,488 per
product.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-67557; File No. SR-CBOE-2012-075]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Fees Schedule

August 1, 2012.
    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 July 27, 2012, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II and III 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\ 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 its Fees Schedule. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's
Office of the Secretary, 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 Exchange 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 Exchange 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 proposes to amend its Marketing Fee. Currently, the
Marketing

Fee assessed on all Penny Pilot Exchange-Traded Fund (``ETF'') options
is $0.25 per contract, with the exception of DIA, for which the listed
Marketing Fee is $0.10 per contract.\3\ The Exchange hereby proposes to
eliminate the exception for DIA, thereby amending the Marketing Fee for
DIA to be $0.25 per contract. This change will place DIA on the same
footing regarding the Marketing Fee as other ETFs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Section 2. Exceptions also apply
regarding certain types of trades in SPY and QQQ, as discussed
elsewhere in this proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to change references to options on the
PowerShares QQQ Trust. The ticker symbol for PowerShares QQQ Trust was
changed from QQQQ to QQQ in 2011, but such changes were not reflected
on the CBOE Fees Schedule. In order to accurately reflect the ticker
symbol for the PowerShares QQQ Trust, the Exchange hereby proposes to
change references on the Fees Schedule to from QQQQ to QQQ.
    Currently, the marketing fee is not assessed on electronic
transactions in SPY and QQQ, except for electronic transactions
resulting from the Exchange's Automated Improvement Mechanism
(``AIM''). Because complex order transactions in SPY and QQQ made via
the Exchange's Complex Order Auction (``COA'') and Complex Order Book
(``COB'') are electronic and do not result from AIM, such transactions
do not incur the Marketing Fee. The Exchange now proposes to assess the
Marketing Fee on such transactions (with the exception of complex
orders that trade via COB against individual leg markets). By
collecting the Marketing Fee on these transactions, the Exchange can
then use such funds to attract greater order flow.
    When a complex order is entered on CBOE, it first generates a COA
and, if not filled there, is placed into the COB. In either case, a
market participant is aware that it is a complex order and, in electing
to trade against it, will know that such transaction will incur the
Marketing Fee and take that fact into account in making such an
election. However, CBOE's complex order processing also has the
capability to fill a complex order from the posted leg markets. In such
an event, the liquidity provider cannot know in advance if a simple or
complex order is going to transact against those leg markets and
therefore incur the Marketing Fee, and is thus not able to adjust his
quoted price accordingly. As such, the Exchange proposes to except
electronic complex orders in SPY and QQQ that trade against individual
leg markets from being assessed the Marketing Fee.
    Currently, transactions in XSP are assessed a Marketing Fee of
$0.10 per contract. The Exchange intends to revise the offering for XSP
in coming months, including the market model and fee schedule. In
advance of this change, the Exchange proposes to eliminate the XSP
Marketing Fee.
    The proposed changes are to take effect on August 1, 2012.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange
and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\4\
Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \5\, which provides that
Exchange rules may provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and
other persons using its facilities. Eliminating the $0.10 per contract
Marketing Fee for XSP is reasonable because XSP transactions will now
be assessed lower fees than previously. This change is equitable and
not unfairly discriminatory because XSP transactions will now be
assessed no Marketing Fee, similar to other singly-listed CBOE
products, such as DJX, OEX, SPX, VIX, XEO and Volatility Indexes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Eliminating the separate Marketing Fee for DIA and assessing the
$0.25 per contract Marketing Fee for DIA is reasonable because that
amount is the same amount as is being assessed for other ETFs. This is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the $0.25 per
contract Marketing Fee will be assessed to all market participants on
whom the Marketing Fee is assessed, and because DIA transactions will
now be assessed the same Marketing Fee as transactions in other ETFs.
    Assessing the Marketing Fee on complex order SPY and QQQ
transactions executed via COA and COB is reasonable because the amount
of the fee would be equivalent to the amount of the Marketing Fee
assessed on SPY and QQQ transactions executed via other means, as well
as the amount assessed on complex order transactions in other ETFs that
are executed via COA and COB. Assessing the Marketing Fee on complex
order SPY and QQQQ transactions executed via COA and COB is equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory because the Marketing Fee is assessed
on complex transactions in other ETFs that are executed via COA and
COB, as well as on SPY and QQQ transactions executed via other means.
    Excluding complex orders in SPY and QQQ that trade via COB against
individual leg markets from being assessed the Marketing Fee is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because such exclusion
prevents a situation in which a market participant trading the single
legs on COB elects to make a trade without knowing that he will be
assessed the Marketing Fee for executing such trade. Excluding complex
orders in SPY and QQQ that trade via COB against individual leg markets
from being assessed the Marketing Fee while still assessing the
Marketing Fee for complex orders in other products that trade via COB
against individual leg markets is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because, since in the other products the Marketing Fee
is assessed on simple, single leg electronic orders, a market
participant executing a trade in such products will know that the
Marketing Fee will be assessed and be able to take that knowledge into
account in determining whether or not to execute the trade.
    The Exchange believes the proposed change of references from QQQQ
to QQQ is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \6\ requirements that the
rules of an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to
remove impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open
market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. QQQ is now the correct ticker symbol
for the PowerShares QQQ Trust. As such, the accurate reflection of the
correct ticker symbol of QQQ eliminates potential investor confusion,
thereby removing impediments to and to perfecting the mechanism for a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general,
protecting investors and the public interest.

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CBOE 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.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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) \7\ of the Act and paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \8\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

    Abstract: This ICR is a description of the information collection
requirements for combustion units that use non-hazardous secondary
materials (NHSM) that are solid wastes and combines and harmonizes
prior regulatory amendments into one ICR. This ICR also includes the
burden associated with the 2016 amendments to the Final Rule (81 FR
6688, February 8, 2016), which added three materials to the list of
categorical non-waste fuels: (1) construction and demolition (C&D) wood
processed from construction and demolition debris according to best
management practices; (2) paper recycling residuals (PRRs) generated
from the recycling of recovered paper, paperboard and corrugated
containers and combusted by paper recycling mills whose boilers are
designed to burn solid fuel; and (3) creosote-treated railroad ties
that are processed and combusted in units designed to burn both biomass
and fuel oil as part of normal operations and not solely as part of
start-up or shut-down operations. Finally, this ICR includes the burden
associated with the 2018 amendments to the Final Rule (83 FR 5317,
February 7, 2018), which added three types of other treated railroad
ties (OTRTs) to the list of categorical non-waste fuels: (1) Creosote-
borate treated railroad ties, and mixtures of creosote, borate and
copper naphthenate treated railroad ties that are processed and
combusted in units designed to burn both biomass and fuel oil; (2)
Copper naphthenate treated railroad ties that are processed and then
combusted in units designed to burn biomass, biomass and fuel oil or
biomass and coal; and (3) Copper naphthenate-borate treated railroad
ties that are processed and then combusted in units designed to burn
biomass, biomass and fuel oil or biomass and coal.
