the existing certificated boundary and buffer zone; (2) to redefine the
cap rock of the gas storage formation; (3) install a gas compressor
unit; and (4) revise the maximum certificated wellhead shut-in pressure
at Southern Star's existing South Welda Storage Field located in
Anderson County, Kansas, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    This filing may be also 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, call<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    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 for
Environmental Review 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.
    Any questions regarding this application may be directed to David
N. Roberts, Manager, Regulatory Affairs, 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro,
Kentucky 42301 and at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    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, before the
comment date of this notice, 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 14 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.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing''
link.

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0821; Directorate Identifier 2010-NE-30-AD;
Amendment 39-17183; AD 2012-18-07]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-Trent 875-17, RB211-Trent 877-17,
RB211-Trent 884-17, RB211-Trent 884B-17, RB211-Trent 892-17, RB211-
Trent 892B-17, and RB211-Trent 895-17 turbofan engines. That AD
currently requires initial and repetitive ultrasonic inspections (UIs)
of certain low-pressure (LP) compressor blades identified by serial
number (S/N). This new AD requires the same actions but expands the
population of blades. This AD was prompted by the need to add the
inspections of the LP compressor blades listed by S/N in Appendices 3H
through 3L of RR plc Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. RB.211-72-AG244,
Revision 4, dated December 22, 2011. We are issuing this AD to prevent
multiple LP compressor blades from failing due to blade root cracks,
which could lead to uncontained engine failure and damage to the
airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective October 29, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference

of a certain publication listed in the AD as of October 29, 2012.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2012-06-23 (77 FR 20508, April 5, 2012). That
AD applies to the specified products. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on May 3, 2012 (77 FR 26216). That NPRM proposed to continue
to require initial and repetitive UIs of certain LP compressor blades
identified by S/N. This AD requires the same actions but expands the
population of blades.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Modify Initial Inspection Thresholds

    Commenters RR and The Boeing Company (Boeing) requested that the
initial inspection thresholds listed in Table 1 of the proposed AD be
the same as those in RR ASB RB.211-72-AG244. Alternatively, RR and
Boeing asked that we adjust the calendar months after the effective
date of the AD to make them equivalent to the calendar dates in the
ASB. RR claims that allowing parts to remain on wing longer than the
times specified in the ASB will increase the risk of a fan blade
failure before a crack is detected.
    We do not agree. The number of months for compliance after the
effective date of this AD is the same as in the EASA AD 2012-0025,
dated February 8, 2012. Also, shortening the initial inspection
thresholds now would require renotice and therefore delay
implementation of the AD. We did not change the AD.

Request To Revise Unsafe Condition Statement

    RR asked that we change the unsafe condition statement in the AD to
indicate that the AD is being issued to prevent multiple blades from
the same engine from failing. RR indicated that this change is needed
because a single blade failure from the root is, by design, a contained
event.
    We agree because multiple blades in an engine may develop cracks
and fail if not inspected. We changed the AD by revising the unsafe
condition statement in paragraph (d) of the AD from: ``We are issuing
this AD to prevent LP compressor blades from failing due to blade root
cracks, which could lead to uncontained engine failure and damage to
the airplane'' to ``We are issuing this AD to prevent multiple LP
compressor blades from failing due to blade root cracks, which could
lead to uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.''

Request To Revise Compliance Paragraph (e)(3)

    Commenter American Airlines (American) requested that we change
paragraph (e)(3) from ``* * * and paragraphs 1. through 3.B. of
Appendix 1 of that ASB, or paragraphs 3.B.(1) through 3.B.(3) of
Accomplishment Instructions of RR ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244 * * *,'' to
``* * * and paragraphs 1. through 3.B. of Appendix 1 of that ASB, or
paragraph 3.B.(3) of Accomplishment Instructions of RR ASB No. RB.211-
72-AG244 * * *.''. American argued that paragraphs 3.B.(1) and 3.B.(2),
which require removal of the air intake fairing/spinner and spinner
extension and annulus fillers, are not needed to resolve the unsafe
condition noted in the AD.
    We agree in part. We agree to remove the references to paragraphs
3.B.(1) and 3.B.(2) from the AD because it is not necessary to mandate
the procedures used to remove the air intake fairing/spinner and
spinner extension and annulus fillers. We disagree that removal of
these parts does not need to be mentioned in the AD because these parts
need to be removed before performing the UI. We therefore revised
paragraph (e)(3) in the AD from: ``Use paragraph 3.A.(2) of
Accomplishment Instructions of RR ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244, Revision 4,
dated December 22, 2011, and paragraphs 1. through 3.B. of Appendix 1
of that ASB, or paragraphs 3.B.(1) through 3.B.(3) of Accomplishment
Instructions of RR ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244, Revision 4, dated December
22, 2011, and paragraphs 1. through 3.C. of Appendix 2 of that ASB, to
perform the UIs.'' to ``Use paragraph 3.A.(2) of Accomplishment
Instructions of RR ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244, Revision 4, dated December
22, 2011, and paragraphs 1. through 3.B. of Appendix 1 of that ASB, or
paragraphs 3.B.(3) of Accomplishment Instructions of RR ASB No. RB.211-
72-AG244, Revision 4, dated December 22, 2011, and paragraphs 1.
through 3.C. of Appendix 2 of that ASB, to perform the UIs. Prior to
inspecting the blades per paragraph 3.B.(3) of the Accomplishment
Instructions remove the air intake fairing/spinner and spinner
extension and annulus fillers.''

Request To Revise Compliance Paragraph (e)(6)

    American requested that paragraph (e)(6) of the AD be revised to
read: ``After the effective date of this AD, do not install any
affected LP compressor blade that has reached the initial inspection
threshold in Table 1, unless it has passed the UI required by this
AD.'' American indicated that the wording of the proposed AD implied
that if a blade fails a visual inspection, it may not be reinstalled
even if it passes a subsequent UI.
    We agree. We revised the paragraph to read: ``After the effective
date of this AD, do not install any affected LP compressor blade that
has reached the initial inspection threshold in Table 1 to paragraph
(e), unless it has passed the UI required by this AD.'' We also moved
this paragraph to a separate Installation Prohibition paragraph (f).

Request To Revise Previous Credit Paragraph

    American asked that the AD allow compressor blades inspected
ultrasonically before the effective date

of this AD using RR SB RB.211-72-E175, Revision 7, dated April 11,
2011, to be installed without further inspection. American indicated
that the UI instructions in SB RB.211-E175, Revision 7, are identical
to the UI instructions in ASB RB.211-72-AG244.
    We agree. We changed the Credit for Previous Actions paragraph in
the AD from, ``You may take credit for the initial inspection that is
required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD if you performed the initial
inspection before the effective date of this AD using RR ASB No.
RB.211-72-AG244, dated August 7, 2009; ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244,
Revision 1, dated January 26, 2010; ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244, Revision
2, dated August 18, 2011; or ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244, Revision 3, dated
December 13, 2011,'' to ``You may take credit for the initial
inspection that is required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD if you
performed the initial inspection before the effective date of this AD
using RR ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244, dated August 7, 2009; ASB No. RB.211-
72-AG244, Revision 1, dated January 26, 2010; ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244,
Revision 2, dated August 18, 2011, ASB No. RB.211-72-AG244, Revision 3,
dated December 13, 2011 or RB.211-72-E175, Revision 7, dated April 11,
2011.''

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that
these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator nor
increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD affects
about 158 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also
estimate that it will take about 3 hours per engine inspection and six
inspections will be needed per year. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. We estimate that one LP compressor blade per year will need
replacement at a cost of about $82,000. Based on these figures, we
estimate the annual cost of the AD on U.S. operators to be $323,740.
Our cost estimate is exclusive of possible warranty coverage.

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 have determined that 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.

II. Background

What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the discretion of the
Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any
provision of FIFRA if the Administrator determines that emergency
conditions exist which require the exemption. The Louisiana Department
of Agriculture and Forestry has requested the Administrator to issue a
specific exemption for the use of ethofenprox on rice to control rice
water weevil, Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus. Information in accordance with
40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of this request.
    As part of this request, the Applicant asserts that the current
emergency situation with respect to weevil management has arisen
primarily from the continuing, and probably increasing, practice of
cultivating crawfish in ponds

in close proximity to rice fields in southern Louisiana. The great
majority of crawfish ponds (at least 75%) are close enough to rice
fields to be affected by the management practices used in rice. All of
the insecticides currently registered for use against the rice water
weevil in Louisiana are toxic to crawfish. The use of ethofenprox for
weevil control has one significant advantage over currently used liquid
products in that it is formulated as a granular and thus there is far
less potential for drift. The Applicant states that the estimated
economic loss if no effective weevil controls are available is over 8
million dollars.
    The Applicant proposes to make no more than two applications of
0.9% ethofenprox to 255,000 acres of rice in Louisiana between March 1
and August 1, 2006. A maximum of 45,645 pounds of active ingredient
will be required.
    This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the
application itself. The regulations governing section 18 of FIFRA
require publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a
specific exemption proposing a first food use of a chemical.
    The notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the
application.
    The Agency, will review and consider all comments received during
the comment period in determining whether to issue the specific
exemption requested by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and
Forestry.

Survivability

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final special conditions.

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

SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for the Bombardier
Aerospace, Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series airplanes. These
airplanes will have novel or unusual design features when compared to
the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for
transport category airplanes. These design features are composite
materials used in the construction of the fuel tank skin and structure,
which may behave differently in a post-crash fire than traditional
aluminum construction. These special conditions contain the additional
safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to
establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the
existing airworthiness standards.

DATES: Effective Date: This action is effective on November 24, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 10, 2009, Bombardier Aerospace applied for a type
certificate for their new Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series
airplanes (hereafter collectively referred to as ``CSeries''). The
CSeries airplanes are swept-wing monoplanes with an aluminum alloy
fuselage sized for 5-abreast seating. Passenger capacity is designated
as 110 for the Model BD-500-1A10 and 125 for the Model BD-500-1A11.
Maximum takeoff weight is 131,000 pounds for the Model BD-500-1A10 and
144,000 pounds for the Model BD-500-1A11.
    Conventional airplanes with aluminum skin and structure provide a
well-understood level of safety during post-crash fire scenarios with
respect to fuel tanks. This is based on service history and extensive
full-scale fire testing. The CSeries airplanes will not be fabricated
primarily with aluminum for the fuel tank structure. Instead, they will
be fabricated using predominantly composite structure and skin for the
wings and fuel tanks. Composites may or may not have the equivalent
capability of aluminum, and current regulations do not provide
objective performance requirements for wing and fuel tank structure
with respect to post-crash fire safety. Because the use of composite
structure is novel and unusual with respect to the designs envisioned
when the applicable regulations were promulgated, additional tests and
analyses substantiation will be required to show that the CSeries
airplanes will provide an acceptable level of safety with respect to
the performance of the wings and fuel tanks during an external fuel-fed
fire.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.17, Bombardier Aerospace must show that the CSeries airplanes
meet the applicable provisions of 14 CFR part 25 as amended by
Amendments 25-1 through 25-129.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the CSeries airplanes because of a
novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed
under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar
novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also
apply to the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the CSeries airplanes must comply with the fuel vent and
exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise
certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36, and the FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under Sec.  611 of Public Law 92-574,
the ``Noise Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type-
certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The CSeries airplanes will incorporate the following novel or
unusual design features: The structural elements and skin of the wings
and fuel tanks will be fabricated using predominantly composite
materials rather than conventional aluminum.

Discussion

    Transport category airplanes in operation today have traditionally
been designed with aluminum materials. Conventional airplanes with
aluminum skin and structure provide a well-understood level of safety
during post-crash fires with respect to fuel tanks. Current regulations
were developed and have evolved under the assumption that wing
construction would be of aluminum materials.
    Aluminum has the following properties with respect to fuel tanks
and fuel-fed external fires:
     Aluminum is highly thermally conductive and readily
transmits the heat of a fuel-fed external fire to fuel in the tank.
This has the benefit of rapidly driving the fuel tank ullage to exceed
the upper flammability limit of fuel vapors prior to fuel tank skin
burn-through or heating of the wing upper surface above the auto-
ignition temperature, thus greatly reducing the threat of fuel tank
explosion.
     Aluminum panels at thicknesses previously used in wing
lower surfaces of large transport category airplanes have been fire
resistant as defined in 14 CFR 1.1 and Advisory Circular (AC) 20-135,
Powerplant Installation and Propulsion System Component Fire Protection
Test Methods, Standards, and Criteria.
     Heat absorption capacity of aluminum and fuel prevent
burn-through or wing collapse for a time interval that generally
exceeds the passenger evacuation time.
    The ability of aluminum wing surfaces to withstand post-crash fire
conditions when wetted by fuel on their interior surface has been
demonstrated by tests conducted at the FAA Technical Center. Results of
these tests have verified adequate dissipation of heat across wetted
aluminum fuel tank surfaces so that localized hot spots do not occur,
thus minimizing the threat of explosion. This inherent capability of
aluminum to dissipate heat also allows the wing lower surface to retain
its load-carrying characteristics during a fuel-fed ground fire and
significantly delay wing collapse or burn-through for a time interval
that usually exceeds evacuation times. In addition, as an aluminum fuel
tank is heated with significant quantities of fuel inside, fuel vapor
accumulates in the ullage space, exceeding the upper flammability limit
relatively quickly and thus reducing the threat of a fuel tank
explosion prior to fuel tank burn-through.
    Fuel tanks constructed with composite materials may or may not have
equivalent properties. AC 20-107B (Change 1), Composite Aircraft
Structure, section 11b, ``Fire Protection, Flammability and Thermal
Issues,'' states: ``Wing and fuselage applications should consider the
effects of composite design and construction on the resulting passenger
safety in the event of in-flight fires or emergency landing conditions,
which combine with subsequent egress when a fuel-fed fire is
possible.'' Pertinent to the wing structure, post-crash fire passenger
survivability is dependent on the time available for passenger
evacuation prior to fuel tank breach or structural failure. Structural
failure can be a result of degradation in load-carrying capability in
the upper or lower wing surface caused by a fuel-fed ground fire and
also as a result of over-pressurization caused by ignition of fuel
vapors in the fuel tank.
    For the CSeries airplanes, composite materials will be used to
fabricate the majority of the wing fuel tank. Hence, the current
regulations may not be adequate for the certification of the CSeries
airplanes featuring wing fuel tanks fabricated with composite material.
Therefore, Bombardier must present additional confirmation by test and
analysis that the CSeries airplanes' design provides an acceptable
level of safety with respect to the performance of the wing fuel tanks
when exposed to the direct effects of post-crash ground fire or under-
wing fuel-fed fires.
    These special conditions contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of
safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness
standards.

Discussion of Comments

    Notice of proposed special conditions No. 25-14-08-SC for the
Bombardier CSeries airplanes was published in the Federal Register on
July 16, 2014 (79 FR 41457). No comments were received, and the special
conditions are adopted as proposed.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series airplanes. Should Bombardier
Aerospace apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to
include another model incorporating the same novel or unusual design
feature, the special conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on two model series of airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.
