Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Depository Trust Company,
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, and National Securities Clearing
Corporation; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Changes Relating to Economic Sanctions and Embargo Programs
Administered and Enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control

May 14, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on March 31, 2009, April 1,
2009, and April 22, 2009, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation
(``FICC''), the National Securities Clearing Corporation (``NSCC''),
and The Depository Trust Company (``DTC''), respectively, filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed
rule change as described in Item I, II, and III, below, which Items
have been prepared primarily by FICC, NSCC, and DTC (collectively,
``Clearing Agencies''). The Clearing Agencies filed the proposed rule
changes pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \2\ and Rule
19b-4(f)(4) thereunder \3\ so that the proposals were effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule changes from interested persons.

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organizations' Statement of Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Changes

    The Clearing Agencies are adding language to their rules to make
clear that the Clearing Agencies' participants, members, and pledgees
(collectively, ``members'') must comply with the U.S. Department of the
Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control's (``OFAC'') sanctions and
embargo programs and as part of their compliance with OFAC sanctions
regulations must agree not to conduct any transaction or activity
through the Clearing Agencies that violate OFAC regulations.

II. Self-Regulatory Organizations' Statement of Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Changes

    In their filing with the Commission, the Clearing Agencies included
statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule
changes and discussed any comments they received on the proposed rule
change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places
specified in Item IV below. The Clearing Agencies have prepared
summaries, set forth in Section A, B, and C below, of the most
significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organizations' Statement of Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Changes

    The purpose of these rule filings is to add new language to the
Clearing Agencies' rules \4\ to clarify that the Clearing Agencies'
members must comply with OFAC's sanctions and embargo programs and as
part of their compliance with OFAC sanctions regulations must agree not
to conduct any transaction or activity through the Clearing Agencies
that violate such OFAC regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ FICC is amending Government Securities Division Rule 3,
Section 9, and Mortgage-Backed Securities Division Article III, Rule
1, Section 7. NSCC is amending Rule 2, Section 4. DTC is amending
Rule 2, Section 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, members subject to United States jurisdiction must
confirm to the Clearing Agencies that it has implemented a risk-based
OFAC compliance program. The Clearing Agencies will require each member
to execute a ``Confirmation of an OFAC Program'' letter (``OFAC
Letter''), which will serve to confirm that the member has
``implemented a risk-based program reasonably designed to comply with
applicable OFAC sanctions regulations.'' \5\ Each U.S. member's OFAC
Compliance Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, or other individual with
responsibility for managing the OFAC compliance program will be
required to submit the OFAC Letter at least every two years.\6\ Failure
to properly submit the OFAC Letter to the Clearing Agencies will result
in a $5,000 fine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The OFAC Letter is not intended to reallocate legal
liability related to the sanctions administered and enforced by
OFAC.
    \6\ The form of the OFAC Letter is attached to each of the
clearing agencies' rule filings with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Clearing Agencies state that the proposed rule changes are
consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \7\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder because such changes will enhance the
Clearing Agencies' ability to comply with applicable laws thereby
reducing risks and associated costs to the Clearing Agencies and their
participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.

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

B. Self-Regulatory Organizations' Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Clearing Agencies do not believe that the proposed rule changes
will have any impact on or impose any burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organizations' Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Changes Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Clearing Agencies have not solicited or received written
comments relating to the proposed rule changes. The Clearing Agencies
will notify the Commission of any written comments they receive.

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

    The foregoing rule changes have become effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(4) \9\ thereunder because each of the proposed rule changes
effects a change in an existing service of one of the Clearing Agencies
that (i) does not adversely affect the safeguarding of securities or
funds in the custody or control of the Clearing Agencies or for which
it is responsible and (ii) does not significantly affect the respective
rights of the clearing agencies or persons using the service. At any
time within sixty days of the filing of such rule changes, the
Commission may summarily abrogate such rule changes 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.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2016-9389; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-153-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new Airworthiness Directive (AD) for all
Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder
(DAH) indicating that certain wing fuel tank access panels are subject
to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This proposed AD would require
replacement of affected access panels and modification of the coamings
of the associated access holes. We are proposing this AD to prevent the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 3, 2017.

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

Discussion

    Fatigue damage can occur locally, in small areas or structural
design details,

or globally, in widespread areas. Multiple-site damage is widespread
damage that occurs in a large structural element such as a single rivet
line of a lap splice joining two large skin panels. Widespread damage
can also occur in multiple elements such as adjacent frames or
stringers. Multiple-site damage and multiple-element damage cracks are
typically too small initially to be reliably detected with normal
inspection methods. Without intervention, these cracks will grow, and
eventually compromise the structural integrity of the airplane. This
condition is known as widespread fatigue damage. It is associated with
general degradation of large areas of structure with similar structural
details and stress levels. As an airplane ages, WFD will likely occur,
and will certainly occur if the airplane is operated long enough
without any intervention.
    The FAA's WFD final rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) became
effective on January 14, 2011. The WFD rule requires certain actions to
prevent structural failure due to WFD throughout the operational life
of certain existing transport category airplanes and all of these
airplanes that will be certificated in the future. For existing and
future airplanes subject to the WFD rule, the rule requires that DAHs
establish a limit of validity (LOV) of the engineering data that
support the structural maintenance program. Operators affected by the
WFD rule may not fly an airplane beyond its LOV, unless an extended LOV
is approved.
    The WFD rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) does not require
identifying and developing maintenance actions if the DAHs can show
that such actions are not necessary to prevent WFD before the airplane
reaches the LOV. Many LOVs, however, do depend on accomplishment of
future maintenance actions. As stated in the WFD rule, any maintenance
actions necessary to reach the LOV will be mandated by airworthiness
directives through separate rulemaking actions.
    In the context of WFD, this action is necessary to enable DAHs to
propose LOVs that allow operators the longest operational lives for
their airplanes, and still ensure that WFD will not occur. This
approach allows for an implementation strategy that provides
flexibility to DAHs in determining the timing of service information
development (with FAA approval), while providing operators with
certainty regarding the LOV applicable to their airplanes.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2016-0125, dated June 21, 2016, which supersedes EASA AD 2014-0158,
dated July 7, 2014 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0100 series
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Based on findings on test articles, fatigue-induced cracks may
develop in the coamings of certain wing fuel tank access panels Part
Number (P/N) D12395-403 and P/N D12450-403, installed on Fokker F28
Mark 0100 aeroplanes.
    To ensure the continued structural integrity with respect to
fatigue, repetitive inspections were included in the Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness. Fokker Services also developed precautionary measures
to reduce stress loads in the affected areas by replacement of the
affected access panels with new panels, P/N D19701-401 and P/N
D19701-403, having thinner skin, and a modification by introducing
internal patches to the coamings of the affected access holes.
    These precautionary measures were introduced with Service
Bulletins (SB) SBF100-57-027 and SBF100-57-028. As part of the
Widespread Fatigue Damage re-evaluation, it was concluded that
repetitive inspections through the ALS do not provide a sufficient
level of protection against the fatigue-induced cracks.
    This condition, if not corrected, would affect the structural
integrity of the lower wing skins of both outer wings in the areas
surrounding the affected fuel tank access panels.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
replacement of the affected access panels and modification of the
coamings of these access holes.
    Post-modification inspection requirements depend on the actual
number of flight cycles accumulated at the moment of modification.
Related detailed information is provided in SBF100-57-027 and
SBF100-57-028, as well as in Fokker Services ALS Report SE-623 Issue
12.
    Fokker Services All Operators Message AOF100.178#05 provides
additional information concerning the subject addressed by this
[EASA] AD.

    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-2016-
9389.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Fokker Services B.V. has issued the following service information:
     Fokker Service Bulletin SBF 100-57-027, Revision 2, dated
December 11, 2013. This service information provides instructions to
replace certain fuel tank access panels.
     Fokker Service Bulletin SBF 100-57-028, Revision 2, dated
December, 11, 2013. This service information provides instructions to
modify the coamings of certain fuel tank access holes.
    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 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.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information

    In the ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Times'' section of the
MCAI, paragraphs (3) and (4) specify to incorporate or comply with
certain maintenance tasks (repetitive inspections). These actions are
not included in this proposed AD. Since EASA AD 2014-0158, dated July
7, 2014, was issued, EASA issued AD 2016-0125, dated June 21, 2016,
which includes a requirement to incorporate those maintenance tasks. We
are considering further rulemaking to require the actions specified in
EASA AD 2016-0125, dated June 21, 2016.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 15 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with 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.
