    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface to ensure that required controlled airspace
extending from the 6.5-mile radius of the airport to 9.6 miles
southwest of the airport is available to contain aircraft executing new
standard instrument approach procedures at Gruver Municipal Airport,
Gruver, TX. Controlled airspace is needed for the safety and management
of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (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);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would create additional controlled airspace at Gruver Municipal
Airport, Gruver, TX.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (Air).

The Proposed Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP16-467-000]

ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on June 3, 2016, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 700
Louisiana Street, Suite 700, Houston, TX 77002-2700, filed an
application pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and
Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, requesting authorization to
implement the permanent and temporary abandonment of certain
facilities, horsepower, and design capacity at its Grand Chenier
Compressor Station (CS), located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, all as
more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
    The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov
using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last
three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this application should be directed to
Linda Farquhar, Manager, Project Determinations and Regulatory
Administration, ANR Pipeline Company, 700 Louisiana Street, Suite 700,
Houston, Texas 77002-2700, by phone<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Specifically, ANR states that Grand Chenier CS is currently
certificated at 16,200 horsepower (HP) and has two units, one rated at
8,100 HP and the other ISO-rated at 9,700 HP. However, ANR has
determined that it can continue to meet current transportation
requirements without compression at the Grand Chenier CS. Thus, ANR
proposes to permanently abandon 6,500 HP of certificated horsepower at
its Grand Chenier CS. In order to effectuate this, ANR proposes to
abandon in place its 8,100 HP compressor unit. In addition, ANR
proposes to temporarily abandon the remaining certificated 9,700 HP and
192 million cubic feet per day of design capacity for a period of up

to 36 months. ANR states that this proposed temporary action will allow
ANR time to evaluate whether market demand predicates the need to
retain this horsepower and to react quickly to any changing market
conditions in the region. ANR states that the implementation of the
Project will not impact ANR's ability to serve existing firm contracts.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules (18 CFR 157.9),
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule will serve to
notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of
all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 5 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and five copies of the protest or intervention to
the Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 6, 2016.

    Dated: June 15, 2016.
Kimberly Bose,
Secretary.

[Docket No. USCG-2018-1013]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, Burlington, NJ
and Bristol, PA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the SR 413/Burlington-Bristol bridge,
which carries SR 413 across the Delaware River, mile 117.8, between
Burlington, NJ and Bristol, PA. The deviation is necessary to
facilitate an inspection and bridge maintenance. This deviation allows
the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position.

DATES: This deviation is effective without actual notice from December
3, 2018 through 3 p.m. on December 14, 2018. For the purposes of
enforcement, actual notice will be used from 7 a.m. on November 26,
2018, until December 3, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2018-1013 is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH''. Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Michael Thorogood, Bridge
Administration Branch Fifth District, Coast Guard, telephone 757-398-
6557, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The Burlington County Bridge Commission,
owner and operator of the SR 413/Burlington-Bristol bridge, that
carries SR 413 across the Delaware River, mile 117.8, between
Burlington, NJ and Bristol, PA, has requested a temporary deviation
from the current operating schedule to facilitate an inspection and
maintenance of various mechanical components of the vertical lift span
of the drawbridge. The bridge has a vertical clearance of 135 feet
above mean high water in the open position, and 61 feet above mean high
water in the closed position.
    The current operating schedule is set out in 33 CFR 117.716. Under
this temporary deviation, the bridge will be in the closed-to-
navigation position from 7 a.m. through 3 p.m.; Monday through Friday;
from 7 a.m. on November 26, 2018, through 3 p.m. on December 14, 2018.
    The Delaware River is used by a variety of vessels including deep
draft commercial vessels, U.S. government and public vessels, small
commercial vessels, tug and barge traffic, and recreational vessels.
The Coast Guard has carefully coordinated the restrictions with
waterway users in publishing this temporary deviation.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed-to-navigation
position may do so at any time. The bridge will open on signal, if at
least eight hours prior notification is given. The bridge will not be
able to open for emergencies and there is no immediate alternative
route for vessels unable to pass through the bridge in the closed
position. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterway
through our Local Notice and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators
can arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the
temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: November 27, 2018.

Brief Updates

PRZM3.12.2 Evaluation (M. Corbin)

QA/QC report is done but is going through EFED management review.  Currently addressing minor edits and additional documentation to improve clarity of document.  Will only address curve number and emergence dates presently.  A separate QA/QC review and report will be done later on volatility/temperature.

On EFED shell (current version PE4v01.pl) there is ongoing QA/QC of a new version of (PE5.pl).  PE5.pl will be needed to run the new version of PRZM (3.12.2).

A process has been established for QA/Q of the EXPRESS Shell.  Future updates will be provided.

Currently approved EFED PRZM Scenarios have been updated on the website.  This was required in order to clarify the distinction between EFED standard scenarios and OP scenarios.  Also, new scenarios which have been created since the last website update have been added.  EFED contractor is working on revisions to scenarios to respond to internal and external comments regarding inconsistencies between scenarios and to update the compatibility of the scenarios to the new EFED Shell (PE5.pl) and new version of PRZM (3.12.2).

Terrestrial Dissipation studies (M. Corbin)

The document is going through one final round of edits and French translation within PMRA (only on those edited portions of the document).  EFED/PMRA anticipate release of the document in spring 2006.

Drift reduction technology update (N. Birchfield)

EPA's Environmental Technology verification program is working with the team on this.  Open meeting has been arranged in late January to look at protocols already available for Measuring the impact of drift reduction technologies.  EFED are looking at getting a "reduction factor" that can be applied within standard risk assessment measures.  There will be a meeting in late January on drift reduction estimation.  Contact Norm Birchfield for further information.  RegDISP has been looked at but no code refinement has been done since last time.

Major Presentations

FOCUS Model Version Control Experiences (Russell Jones, Bayer CropScience)

Russell Jones presented the version control process used by the Forum for the Co-ordination of Pesticide Fate Models and their Use (FOCUS), an EU organization representing regulatory agencies, industry, and academia.  FOCUS provides guidance documents and software tools for performing exposure assessments and faces a version control challenge because they work with many organizations from different countries using different software packages.  FOCUS has a permanent workgroup that manages software changes and provides user support.  Model distribution is handled through their website, which includes all current and previous model versions.  When model bugs are identified, usually by users, the model developer corrects the problem and runs a standard set of test cases.  The updated model is made available to workgroup members who have two weeks to make a response.  An outside modeler then checks for possible interferences with other FOCUS models.  When finalized, the version number is updated, the model is posted to the website along with the test cases and supporting documentation, and users are notified.  The FOCUS group has found that this process is an effective way of managing version control with a minimum of effort.  The presentation included a walk-through of the FOCUS website,

Model Development and Version using a Collaboration environment (COLAB) - (Ken Rojas - USDA NRCS, Fort Collins)

Ken Rojas of USDA NRCS presented the efforts at the Information Technology Center in Fort Collins, Colorado to develop and implement a model version control system and quality assurance process.  The NRCS has developed CoLab which is a Collaborative Software Development system whose purpose is to facilitate software development.  The system consists of two components, "Codebeamer" and "Subversion".  Codebeamer is a commercial web application at the developer's tool level to help manage collaborative operations.  It is accessible via web browser, file browser (tortoise) or command line.  Data on all users is sharable to facilitate communication.  Codebeamer provides a document review management system with macros to ensure project tracking is efficient and tailored to user needs (e.g. milestones, bug/feature, and document tracker system).   Version control is managed using Subversion.  Subversion is an open source version control system designed to track, compare and undo changes to source code across multiple editing sessions.  It can manage concurrent changes and preserve a consistent code/document state for each version.  The system is designed to encourage documentation of any changes to model code and provide a repository for future changes/upgrades to model code.  The system allows for easy synchronization of multiple users operating at remote locations within a single centralized location.  Currently, NRCS has a total of 63 projects that are currently managed using this system.  Many of these projects are very complex and so subversion is used to track, compare and undo changes to source Code and documents across multiple editing sessions.

In addition, the presentation discussed NRCS' implementation of an Object Modeling System (OMS).  OMS is an integrated model development and application platform that promotes interaction between model developers and service providers.  The platform supports model component development and testing, managing a component library, integrating components into new and existing models, manages model applications, and analyzes model output.  The benefit of this system is that it supports new model development, facilitates long term maintainability of models by decomposing them into science processes, leads to customized models, and makes implementation easier.

More information on Colab, Subversion, and OMS can be found at

 https://colab.sc.egov.usda.gov.

Version Control for Great Lakes Models on Unix Systems (Russell Kreis, Grosse Isle Duluth - ORD- NHERL)

Russell Kreis of ORD-NHEERL gave a presentation on the modeling efforts associated with atrazine in the Great Lakes and transitioned this discussion into a summary of model QA and version control processes and issues learned.  Russ briefly went over a summary of the many projects completed by the Grosse Ile/Duluth office of ORD.  Specifically, Russ presented the concept behind the Lake Michigan Mass Balance project and walked the audience through the application of the model relative to atrazine.  In the Lake Michigan basin, atrazine is usually applied to corn fields in the spring to control broadleaf and some grassy weeds.  Approximately 850,000 kg are applied annually in the Lake Michigan basin.  The Lake Michigan Mass Balance Modeling framework includes computational transport, mass balance, and bioaccumulation and has 3 levels of spatial resolution (whole lake, 10 surface segments and 41 water segments, and a high- resolution model consisting of 2318 surface segments and 44,042 water segments).  The lake monitoring data showed fluctuating values of atrazine between 30 and 60 ng/l with seasonal loadings (spring to early summer) focused on the southeast and northwest shores.  Modeling predicts that with no increase or decrease in loadings that concentrations in the Lake will increase slightly and level off thereafter.

For the predictive modeling version control and archiving on UNIX system at EPA in Grosse Ile, MI, the following automated RCS system is being used:

RCS - Revision Control System - Version 5.7 - utility included with UNIX systems; and it's relatively user friendly

Other available and related systems include:

Parent: SCCS - Source Code Control System

CVS - Concurrent Version System, which is possibly the most widely used; layered on top of RCS, and more robust than RCS.

PRCS - Project Revision Control System - new front-end system similar to CVS, but more user-friendly

RCE - Revision Control Engine - successor to RCS; revision control with JAVA graphics interface

Some utilities are included as standard software with the UNIX operating system and are - version control - archive, file history, flexibility, and tracking.  Some of the operational utility includes - check in/check out (with limited access); identification/find; compare versions; and merge revisions.  Basic source control operation in RCS involves creating a RCS file whenever an authorized user opens a working file for reading or revision. After the review/revision of the working file is completed, the source control operation compares the working file to the RCS file and prompts the user to save or discard the changes. If the save option is chosen then it changes the RCS file with a new version number. If discarded, no change takes place in the RCS file.  The challenges faced by Grosse Ile include infrastructure support and maintenance for a high volume of data and metadata from Lake Michigan, SOPs and quality assurance documentation, version control, associated files, directories and utilities, archives, operational and user documentation, reports and publications, IT and QA audits.  They are also working towards migration to LINUX systems for better system longevity and availability.

QA for environmental fate data tasks in EFED  (Lisa Eisenhauer, USEPA- EFED)

Lisa Eisenhauer outlined EFED's procedures for quality assurance of tools such as exposure models that use environmental data.  First, the tool developer establishes objectives and puts together a project team.  The team outlines a project plan describing the project goals and assigning responsibilities for individual tasks.  After the tool and supporting documentation are developed, the version is locked down and quality control begins.  Lisa presented an example of a spreadsheet template used to track QC progress.  Before QC begins, for each objective, a series of checks are listed along with a definition of what a success for that check would be.  As QC is performed, the spreadsheet is updated with the status of each check.  The QC should consider the basic functionality of the code and its ability to handle ranges of potential data as well as review all support documents.  The purpose of this QC process is to identify, rather than solve, problems.  After QC is completed, the team determines what changes or fixes need to be made and the QC process is repeated.  The new tool is named according to version control policy and made available in a location that identifies it as the current version and separates it from all archived versions.  One person is designated to provide internal maintenance and the QA officer and webmaster do quarterly overall maintenance on all available tools.

Community Multi-Scale Air Quality *(CMAQ) Model - Quality Assurance and Version Control (Ken Schere and Shawn Roselle - Atmospheric Model development Branch NOAA/Atmospheric sciences modeling division - EPA/ORD/NERL)

CMAQ is an air quality model that can simulate many characteristics of air quality in periods of weeks to years and on scales ranging from city to national level.  The modeling system is made up of multiple linked models and processors, all of which require quality assurance.  QA is managed through project plans (QAPP) which direct model development, data acquisition, project management, and oversight.  In addition, guidelines have been established to provide a common format for coding and also for managing code testing, archiving, and version control.  When modifications are needed, model developers start with code from the model archive.  After making revisions, developers perform unit testing which is discussed with a development group, documented, and then passed on to a model code manager who is responsible for another layer of testing prior to integrating the code into the model archive.  A Concurrent Versions System is used to maintain a reproducible history of source files, with separate archives for each model that can only be updated by archive administrators.  Occasionally, codes are incorporated into the model which have been developed by external groups without the same QA guidelines.  These codes have to pass certain criteria before becoming part of the model and when they do, they are compartmentalized so that they are easily identifiable.  A peer review panel of external members meets regularly to provide comments and recommendations.

Evaluation of AGDISP Ground Boom Spray Drift Model (Al Barefoot/ T.S. Ramanarayanan, CLA Spray Drift Issues management team)

Rama gave background and information on using the model and then compared model output with field data and proposed the path forward.  A mechanistic model offers strategic advantages for drift prediction when compared with empirical models.  However, he showed that AGDISP consistently over-predicts drift from Ground boom sprays based on the Tom Wolf field data set.  Rama concluded that the model is not yet ready for regulatory use and proposed a path forward involving checking the performance of the Visual Basic interface, expanding existing data in terms of goodness of fit and sensitivity analysis, summarizing all comparison data for peer review and investigating the effect of droplet velocity

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0674; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-217-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 F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by a design review, which revealed that no
controlled bonding provisions are present on a number of critical
locations inside the fuel tank or connected to the fuel tank wall. This
proposed AD would require installing additional bonding provisions in
the fuel tank, and revising the airplane maintenance program by
incorporating fuel airworthiness limitation items and critical design
configuration control limitations. We are proposing this AD to prevent
an ignition source in the fuel tank vapor space, which could result in
a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 26,
2013.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2012-0242, dated November 12, 2012 (referred to
after this the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

Prompted by an accident * * *, the FAA published Special Federal
Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 88, and the Joint Aviation Authorities
(JAA) published Interim Policy INT/POL/25/12.
The design review conducted by Fokker Services on the Fokker 70 and
Fokker 100 in response to these regulations revealed that no
controlled bonding provisions are present on a number of critical
locations, inside the fuel tank or connected to the fuel tank wall.
This condition, if not corrected, may create an ignition source in
the fuel tank vapour space, possibly resulting in a fuel tank
explosion and consequent loss of the aeroplane.
For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires the
installation of additional bonding provisions and, subsequently, the
implementation of the associated Fuel Airworthiness Limitation Items
(ALI) and Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations
(CDCCL[s]) [and revising the maintenance program to incorporate the
ALIs and CDCCLs].

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.
    The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in fuel
tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the
adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes
subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for
fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, we issued a
regulation titled ``Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review,
Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements''
(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards
for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this rule
included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (``SFAR 88,''
Amendment 21-78, and subsequent Amendments 21-82 and 21-83).
    Among other actions, SFAR 88 (66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001) requires
certain type design (i.e., type certificate (TC) and supplemental type
certificate (STC)) holders to substantiate that their fuel tank systems
can prevent ignition sources in the fuel tanks. This requirement
applies to type design holders for large turbine-powered transport
airplanes and for subsequent modifications to those airplanes. It
requires them to perform design reviews and to develop design changes
and maintenance procedures if their designs do not meet the new fuel
tank safety standards. As explained in the preamble to the rule, we
intended to adopt

airworthiness directives to mandate any changes found necessary to
address unsafe conditions identified as a result of these reviews.
    In evaluating these design reviews, we have established four
criteria intended to define the unsafe conditions associated with fuel
tank systems that require corrective actions. The percentage of
operating time during which fuel tanks are exposed to flammable
conditions is one of these criteria. The other three criteria address
the failure types under evaluation: single failures, single failures in
combination with a latent condition(s), and in-service failure
experience. For all four criteria, the evaluations included
consideration of previous actions taken that may mitigate the need for
further action.
    The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) has issued a regulation that
is similar to SFAR 88 (66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). (The JAA is an
associated body of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC)
representing the civil aviation regulatory authorities of a number of
European States who have agreed to co-operate in developing and
implementing common safety regulatory standards and procedures.) Under
this regulation, the JAA stated that all members of the ECAC that hold
type certificates for transport category airplanes are required to
conduct a design review against explosion risks.
    We have determined that the actions identified in this proposed AD
are necessary to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel
tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result
in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

12, 2008.
    The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

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.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this AD, the operator may not be able to
accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this situation,
to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for
an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph (j) of this
AD. The request should include a description of changes to the required
inspections that will ensure the continued operational safety of the
airplane.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 10 products of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Fokker Services B.V.: Docket No. FAA-2013-0674; Directorate
Identifier 2012-NM-217-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by September 26, 2013.

0100 airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28, Fuel.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a design review, which revealed that no
controlled bonding provisions are present on a number of critical
locations inside the fuel tank or connected to the fuel tank wall.
We are issuing this AD to prevent an ignition source in the fuel
tank vapor space, which could result in a fuel tank explosion and
consequent loss of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD
performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions
have already been done.

(g) Installation of Bonding Provisions
