Airworthiness Directives; BAE SYSTEMS (OPERATIONS) LIMITED Model
BAe 146 Airplanes, and Model Avro 146-RJ Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
that applies to the products listed above. This AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an
aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    During the period 2001/2002, skin cracking was found adjacent to
the butt joint forward of frame 19 * * *. The cracks emanated from
chemically-etched pockets on the internal surface of the skin. * * *
[C]racking in multiple adjacent bays * * * could compromise the
structural integrity of the fuselage in the event that the multiple
cracks joined into a single crack. * * *
    During 2008, a further report was received at BAE Systems of a
13.78 inch crack in an AVRO 146-RJ that occurred 514 flight cycles
(FC) short of the next 4 000-FC repetitive inspection interval. * *
*

* * * * *
We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 26, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 26,
2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of August
2, 2005 (70 FR 37022, June 28, 2005).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on January 13, 2011 (76
FR 2281), and proposed to supersede AD 2005-13-19, Amendment 39-14156
(70 FR 37022, June 28, 2005). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    During the period 2001/2002, skin cracking was found adjacent to
the butt joint forward of frame 19 when unrelated in-service
maintenance inspections of the forward fuselage structure were being
completed. The cracks emanated from chemically-etched pockets on the
internal surface of the skin. The then current MRB [maintenance
review board] inspection requirements were not adequate to address
cracking in multiple adjacent bays, which could compromise the
structural integrity of the fuselage in the event that the multiple
cracks joined into a single crack. Investigations resulted in the
publication of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Inspection Service
Bulletin (ISB).53-167 in June [27,] 2003, which was made mandatory
by CAA UK AD 007-06-2003. The ISB was subsequently re-issued at
Revision 1 during 2004 [May 18, 2004] to clarify the inspection
requirements and provide an improved inspection procedure. CAA UK AD
G-2005-0002 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2005-13-19] (EASA approval
number 2005-313) was issued to require accomplishment of the
improved inspections.
    During 2008, a further report was received at BAE Systems of a
13.78 inch crack in an AVRO 146-RJ that occurred 514 flight cycles
(FC) short of the next 4 000-FC repetitive inspection interval. A
reassessment of ISB instructions and its supporting data concluded
that these original inspection periods were too long, and the method
for defining the areas requiring inspection could be open to
misinterpretation. In response, BAE Systems has updated the ISB to
Revision 2 [dated December 12, 2008] to reduce the inspection
intervals, introducing different inspection intervals associated
with specific areas of the forward fuselage skins and instructions
to inspect additional areas of the forward fuselage skin.
    For the reasons described above, this AD retains the
requirements of CAA UK AD G-2005-0002, which is superseded, and
requires the implementation of revised repetitive inspections,
including inspection of additional areas of the forward fuselage
skin panels for cracking and follow-on repair action(s), depending
on findings.
    This AD is [further] revised to acknowledge the issuance of BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited ISB.53-167 Revision 3, [dated June 17,
2009] which allows the repetitive inspection intervals to be
extended and introduces grace periods to carry out the initial
inspections. In addition, this AD at Revision 1 [EASA AD 2009-
0070R1, dated July 2, 2010] acknowledges the issuance of BAE Systems
ISB.53-167 Revision 4 [dated June 10, 2010] which corrects the grace
period for the initial inspections on BAe 146 aeroplane types.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 1 product of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2005-13-19 and retained in this
AD take 40 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per
work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently
required actions is $3,400 per product.
    We estimate that it will take about 32 work-hours per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of the AD on U.S. operators to be $2,720, or $2,720 per product.

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 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 the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

or by e-mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    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 14 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 15b1-1/Form BD, SEC File No. 270-19, OMB Control No. 3235-
0012

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information provided for in Rule 15b1-1 (17 CFR 240.15b1-
1) and Form BD (17 CFR 249.501) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Form BD is the application form used by firms to apply to the
Commission for registration as a broker-dealer, as required by Rule
15b1-1. Form BD also is used by firms other than banks and registered
broker-dealers to apply to the Commission for registration as a
municipal securities dealer or a government securities broker-dealer.
In addition, Form BD is used to change information contained in a
previous Form BD filing that becomes inaccurate.
    The total industry-wide annual time burden imposed by Form BD is
approximately 4,118.07 hours, based on approximately 11,137 responses
(183 initial filings + 10,954 amendments). Each application filed on
Form BD requires approximately 2.75 hours to complete and each amended
Form BD requires approximately 20 minutes to complete. (183 x 2.75
hours = 503.25 hours; 10,954 x 0.33 hours = 3,614.82 hours; 503.25
hours + 3,614.82 hours = 4,118.07 hours.) The staff believes that a
broker-dealer would have a Compliance Manager complete and file both
applications and amendments on Form BD at a cost of $314/hour.
Consequently, the staff estimates that the total internal cost of
compliance associated with the annual time burden is approximately
$1,293,073.98 per year ($314 x 4,118.07). There is no external cost
burden associated with Rule 15b1-1 and Form BD.
    The Commission uses the information disclosed by applicants in Form
BD: (1) To determine whether the applicant meets the standards for
registration set forth in the provisions of the Exchange Act; (2) to
develop a central information resource where members of the public may
obtain relevant, up-to-date information about broker-dealers, municipal
securities dealers, and government securities broker-dealers, and where
the Commission, other regulators, and SROs may obtain information for
investigatory purposes in connection with securities litigation; and
(3) to develop statistical

information about broker-dealers, municipal securities dealers, and
government securities broker-dealers. Without the information disclosed
in Form BD, the Commission could not effectively implement policy
objectives of the Exchange Act with respect to its investor protection
function.
    Completing and filing Form BD is mandatory in order to engage in
broker-dealer activity. Compliance with Rule 15b1-1 does not involve
the collection of confidential information.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: Charles Riddle, Acting
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an
email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-28976; Directorate Identifier 2007-NE-28-AD;
Amendment 39-15244; AD 2007-22-08]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 768-
60, 772-60, 772B-60, and 772C-60 Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) provided by the aviation authority for
the United Kingdom to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI states the following:

    This action is necessary following the discovery of IP
Compressor Rotor stage 2-3 interstage spacer cracking on an in-
service Trent 700 engine. Stress analysis of the damaged rotor has
shown a possible threat to the rotor integrity, the cracking
therefore presents a potential unsafe condition. The cause of the
cracking is currently under investigation.

We are issuing this AD to detect cracks in the stage 2-3 interstage
spacer of the intermediate pressure (IP) Compressor Rotor. Cracking of
the stage 2-3 interstage spacer could result in an uncontained engine
failure and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 13, 2007.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of RR service bulletins (SBs) RB.211-72-AE753, Revision 1,
dated May 24, 2005, and RB.211-72-AF197, dated December 20, 2006,
listed in the AD as of November 13, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 2007-0136, dated May 14, 2007, to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products. The EASA AD states:

    This Airworthiness Directive requires inspections for cracks in
the stage 2-3 interstage spacer of the IP Compressor Rotor during
shop visit.
    This action is necessary following the discovery of IP
Compressor Rotor stage 2-3 interstage spacer cracking on an in-
service Trent 700 engine. Stress analysis of the damaged rotor has
shown a possible threat to the rotor integrity, the cracking
therefore presents a potential unsafe condition. The cause of the
cracking is currently under investigation.

You may obtain further information by examining the EASA AD in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Rolls-Royce plc has issued Service Bulletins RB.211-72-AE753,
Revision 1, dated May 24, 2005, and RB.211-72-AF197, dated December 20,
2006. The actions described in that service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the EASA AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of this AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of the
United Kingdom, and is approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the United Kingdom, they have
notified us of the unsafe condition described in the EASA AD and
service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all the information provided by the EASA and determined the
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design. We are issuing this AD to detect
cracks in the stage 2-3 interstage spacer of the IP Compressor Rotor.
Cracking of the stage 2-3 interstage spacer could result in an
uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane. This AD requires
inspecting the stage 2-3 interstage spacer using an eddy current
inspection process at every shop visit. You must use the service
information described previously to perform the actions required by
this AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Although no airplanes that are registered in the United States use
these engines, the possibility exists that the engines could be used on
airplanes that are registered in the United States in the future. The
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on
other RR RB211 Trent 768-60, 772-60, 772B-60, and 772C-60 turbofan
engines of the same type design. Therefore, we determined that notice
and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are
unnecessary and that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2007-28976; Directorate
Identifier 2007-NE-28-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov
, including any personal information you provide. We

will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this 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 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 this AD:
    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); and
    3. 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2784-004-CA]

Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for
the Rollins Transmission Line Project located within the Bear River
basin, on private land in Placer and Nevada counties, California. The
transmission line extends 0.72 mile from Nevada Irrigation District's
(NID) existing Rollins powerhouse switchyard (part of the Yuba-Bear
Hydroelectric Project, FERC Project No. 2266) to the junction with
PG&E's Drum-Grass Valley-Weimer transmission line (non-FERC

jurisdictional). Commission staff has prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) that analyzes the potential environmental effects of
the transmission line and concludes that issuing a new license for the
Rollins Transmission Line Project, with appropriate environmental
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the project and alternatives and concludes that licensing
the project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2014-0011-N-22]

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces that the renewal Information Collection Requests (ICR)
abstracted below are being forwarded to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describes the nature of
the information collection and its expected burden. The Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the
following collection of information was published on September 5, 2014
(79 FR 56616).

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before January 5, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Brogan, Office of Planning
and Evaluation Division, RRS-21, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200
New Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 25, Washington, DC 20590 (Telephone:
(202) 493-6292), or Ms. Kimberly Toone, Office of Information
Technology, RAD-20, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Ave. SE., Mail Stop 35, Washington, DC 20590 (Telephone: (202) 493-
6132). (These telephone numbers are not toll-free.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),
Public Law 104-13, sec. 2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised at
44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue two notices seeking public
comment on information collection activities before OMB may approve
paperwork packages. 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.12. On September 5, 2014, FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on ICR that the agency is seeking
OMB approval. See 79 FR 56616. FRA received no comments in response to
this notice.
    Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 44 U.S.C.
3507(b); 5 CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires OMB to approve or
disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and 60 days after the 30 day
notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)-(c); 5 CFR 1320.12(d); see also
60 FR 44978, 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the 30 day notice
informs the regulated community to file relevant comments and affords
the agency adequate time to digest public comments before it renders a
decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to OMB within 30 days of publication
to best ensure having their full effect. 5

CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
    The summary below describes the nature of the information
collection request (ICR) and the expected burden. The revised request
is being submitted for clearance by OMB as required by the PRA.

    Title: Identification of Cars Moved in Accordance with Order 13528.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0506.
    Abstract: This collection of information identifies a freight car
being moved within the scope of Order 13528 (now codified at under 49
CFR 232.3). Otherwise, an exception will be taken, and the car will be
set out of the train and not delivered. The information that must be
recorded is specified at 49 CFR 232.3(d)(3), which requires that a car
be properly identified by a card attached to each side of the car and
signed stating that such movement is being made under authority of the
Order. Section 232.2(d)(3) does not require retaining cards or tags.
When a car bearing a tag for movement under this provision arrives at
its destination, the tags are simply removed. This requirement/record
comes into play only when a railroad finds it necessary to move
equipment as specified above. FRA estimates that approximately 400 cars
per year are moved under this Order.
    Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
information collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses (Railroads).
    Form(s): N/A.
    Annual Estimated Burden: 67 hours.

    Title: U.S. Locational Requirement for Dispatching U.S. Rail
Operations.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0556.
    Abstract: Part 241 requires, in the absence of a waiver, that all
dispatching of railroad Operations that occurs in the United States be
performed in this country, with a minor exception. A railroad is
allowed to conduct extraterritorial dispatching from Mexico or Canada
in emergency situations, but only for the duration of the emergency. A
railroad relying on the exception must provide written notification of
its action to the FRA Regional Administrator of each FRA region in
which the railroad operation occurs; such notification is not required
before addressing the emergency situation. The information collected
under this rule will be used as part of FRA's oversight function to
ensure that extraterritorial dispatchers comply with applicable safety
regulations.
    Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
information collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses (Railroads).
    Form(s): N/A.
    Annual Estimated Burden: 8 hours.

    Addressee: Send comments regarding this information collections to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 Seventeenth Street NW., Washington, DC 20503,
Attention: FRA Desk Officer. Comments may also be sent via email to OMB
at the following address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Comments are invited on the following: Whether the proposed
collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Department, including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimates of
the burden of the proposed information collections; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
ways to minimize the burden of the collections of information on

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55921; File No. SR-ODD-2007-03]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Order Granting Approval of Accelerated Delivery of Supplement to the
Options Disclosure Document Reflecting Certain Changes to Disclosure
Regarding Credit Default Options

June 18, 2007.
    On April 25, 2007, The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'')
submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),
pursuant to Rule 9b-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ five preliminary copies of a supplement to its options
disclosure document (``ODD'') reflecting certain changes to disclosure
regarding credit default options (``CDOs'').\2\ On June 18, 2007, the
OCC submitted to the Commission five definitive copies of the
supplement.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 17 CFR 240.9b-1.
    \2\ See letter from Jean M. Cawley, Senior Vice President and
Deputy General Counsel, OCC, to Sharon Lawson, Senior Special
Counsel, Division of Market Regulation (``Division''), Commission,
dated April 24, 2007.
    \3\ See letter from Jean M. Cawley, Senior Vice President and
Deputy General Counsel, OCC, to Sharon Lawson, Senior Special
Counsel, Division, Commission, dated June 18, 2007. This letter
provides that the definitive supplement supersedes and replaces the
previous supplement submitted on June 15, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ODD currently contains general disclosures on the
characteristics and risks of trading standardized options. Recently, an
options exchange amended its rules to permit the listing and trading of
certain CDOs.\4\ The proposed supplement amends the ODD to accommodate
this change by providing disclosure regarding CDOs, including credit
default basket options.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55871 (June 6,
2007), 72 FR 32372 (June 12, 2007) (SR-CBOE-2006-84).
    \5\ See SR-CBOE-2007-26.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the proposed supplement to the ODD adds new
disclosure regarding the characteristics of CDOs, including disclosure
regarding adjustments. Furthermore, the proposed supplement to the ODD
adds new disclosure regarding risks associated with the purchase and
sale of CDOs.\6\ The proposed supplement is intended to be read in
conjunction with the more general ODD, which, as described above,
discusses the characteristics and risks of options generally.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Commission notes that the options markets must continue
to ensure that the ODD is in compliance with the requirements of
Rule 9b-1(b)(2)(i) under the Act, 17 CFR 240.9b-1(b)(2)(i),
including when future changes regarding CDOs are made. Any future
changes to the rules of the options markets concerning CDOs would
need to be submitted to the Commission under Section 19(b) of the
Act. 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 9b-1(b)(2)(i) under the Act \7\ provides that an options
market must file five copies of an amendment or supplement to the ODD
with the Commission at least 30 days prior to the date definitive
copies are furnished to customers, unless the Commission determines
otherwise, having due regard to the adequacy of information disclosed
and the public interest and protection of investors.\8\ In addition,
five copies of the definitive ODD, as amended or supplemented, must be
filed with the Commission not later than the date the amendment or
supplement, or the amended options disclosure document, is furnished to
customers. The Commission has reviewed the proposed supplement and
finds, having due regard to the adequacy of information disclosed and
the public interest and protection of investors, that the proposed
supplement may be furnished to customers as of the date of this order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 17 CFR 240.9b-1(b)(2)(i).
    \8\ This provision permits the Commission to shorten or lengthen
the period of time which must elapse before definitive copies may be
furnished to customers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Rule 9b-1 under the Act,\9\
that definitive copies of the proposed supplement to the ODD (SR-ODD-
2007-03), reflecting changes to disclosure regarding CDOs, may be
furnished to customers as of the date of this order.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2013-1062; Airspace Docket No. 13-ACE-3]
RIN 2120-AA66

Modification of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes; North Central
United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies three Jet Routes (J-45, J-151, and J-233)
and a high altitude area navigation (RNAV) route (Q-19). The FAA is
taking this action due to a service restriction of the Des Moines, IA
(DSM), VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR)/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC)
facility that provides navigation guidance for a portion of the ATS
routes identified.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, July 24, 2014. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Colby Abbott, Airspace Policy and
Regulations Group, Office of Airspace Services, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Wednesday, January 22, 2014, the FAA published in the Federal
Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify J-45, J-151,
J-233, and Q-19 in the vicinity of the DSM VORTAC, Des Moines, IA (79
FR 3545). Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on this proposal to
the FAA. No comments were received in response to the NPRM.

Differences From the NPRM

    Subsequent to publication of the NPRM, an error in the J-233 route

description format was identified. Airway and route legal descriptions
are published in FAA Order 7400.9X, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points. Current format guidelines for these legal descriptions require
that the order of points in a description be listed from ``south-to-
north'' or from ``west-to-east,'' as applicable. The description for J-
233 in the NPRM listed the points from ``north-to-south,'' in error.
The rule simply reverses the order of the points listed for J-233 to a
``south-to-north'' format for standardization. The route structure is
unchanged from that proposed in the NPRM.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying Jet Routes J-45, J-151, and J-233, and high
altitude RNAV route Q-19. The DSM, VOR radial restrictions have made
this action necessary. The route modifications are outlined below.
    J-45: J-45 extends between Virginia Key, FL, and Aberdeen, SD. The
route segment between the St Louis, MO (STL), and DSM VORTACs is
relocated over the Kirksville, MO (IRK), VORTAC and extended
approximately four nautical miles (NM) to restore navigable route
structure using serviceable DSM VOR radials.
    J-151: J-151 extends between Cross City, FL, and Whitehall, MT. The
route segment between STL and O'Neil, NE (ONL), VORTACs is realigned
over the IRK and Omaha, NE (OVR), VORTACs, providing a nearly direct
routing from STL to ONL and reducing the route segment by 12.5 NM.
    J-233: J-233 extends between STL and Waterloo, IA (ALO). The route
is realigned over the IRK VORTAC to resolve an extended service volume
flight check failure impacting the navigable use of the route.
    Q-19: Q-19 extends between Nashville, TN (BNA), and the PLESS fix,
overlying a portion of J-45. The route is extended northwest from the
PLESS fix over the STL VORTAC to the DSM VORTAC, retaining a direct
routing capability between STL and DSM for aircraft capable of flying
RNAV routes.
    The navigation aid radials cited in the proposed Jet Route and high
altitude RNAV route descriptions below, are stated relative to True
north.
    Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004 and high altitude RNAV
routes (Q) are published in paragraph 2006, respectively, of FAA Order
7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Jet Routes and high
altitude RNAV route listed in this document will be subsequently
published in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does 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 United States Code. 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.
    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 the
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 modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve the safe
and efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,
paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any
potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment.

Airworthiness Directives; APEX Aircraft Model CAP 10 B Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    A case of loose bond (ungluing) of one mounting wooden block of
the control stick base cover, found during the cover reinstallation,
was reported to the Type Certificate Holder (TCH) and led to the
issuance of the ``recommended'' Service Bulletin (SB) No. 031004 in
February 2004. Since that date, other similar occurrences have been
reported. This SB in its revision 1, has therefore been reclassified
``mandatory'' by the TCH.

    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 30, 2008.
    On April 30, 2008, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this
AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2008 (73
FR 4123). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    A case of loose bond (ungluing) of one mounting wooden block of
the control stick base cover, found during the cover reinstallation,
was reported to the Type Certificate Holder (TCH) and led to the
issuance of the ``recommended'' Service Bulletin (SB) No.031004 in
February 2004. Since that date, other similar occurrences have been
reported. This SB in its revision 1, has therefore been reclassified
``mandatory'' by the TCH.
    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) mandates inspection of the
mounting blocks of the control stick base cover for loose bonds and
repair, as necessary.
    These actions are intended to address the identified unsafe
condition so as to prevent separation of the mounting blocks from
the wing spar which could result in restricted movement of the
ailerons and elevators with possible partial or complete loss of
controls.

    The MCAI requires an inspection of the four mounting wooden blocks
of the control stick base cover. You are to take corrective action by
repairing any loose blocks where inspection indicates necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.

    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 52 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about .5 work-hour per product to
comply with basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is
$80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $135 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S.
operators to be $9,100 or $175 per product.

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 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 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); and
    (3) 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 AD and placed it in the AD Docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES
section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after
receipt.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 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:

2008-07-04 APEX Aircraft: Amendment 39-15445; Docket No. FAA-2008-
0057; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-102-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective April
30, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to the following CAP 10 B airplanes that are
certificated in any category:
    (i) serial numbers 300 through 310; and
    (ii) serial numbers 1 through 40 that have been retrofitted with
carbon/wood wing reference 5702-0104048* (*with or without a
variable letter or number at the reference end).

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 57: Wings.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    A case of loose bond (ungluing) of one mounting wooden block of
the control stick base cover, found during the cover reinstallation,
was reported to the Type Certificate Holder (TCH) and led to the
issuance of the ``recommended'' Service Bulletin (SB) No. 031004 in
February 2004. Since that date, other similar occurrences have been
reported. This SB in its revision 1, has therefore been reclassified
``mandatory'' by the TCH.
    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) mandates inspection of the
mounting blocks of the control stick base cover for loose bonds and
repair, as necessary.
    These actions are intended to address the identified unsafe
condition so as to prevent separation of the mounting blocks from
the wing spar which could result in restricted movement of the
ailerons and elevators with possible partial or complete loss of
controls.

    The MCAI requires an inspection of the four mounting wooden
blocks of the control stick base cover. You are to take corrective
action by repairing any loose blocks where inspection indicates
necessary.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions within the
next 6 months after April 30, 2008 (the effective date of this AD),
following APEX Aircraft Service Bulletin No. 031004 R1, Revision 1,
dated November 12, 2007:
    (1) Inspect the four mounting wooden blocks of the control stick
base cover for loose bonding (gluing); and
    (2) If any wooden block is found to be loose, take corrective
action.

FAA AD Differences

    Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
