RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics (Formerly
Known as Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); reopening of
comment period.

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

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive
(AD) for certain Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and
SAAB 340B airplanes. The NPRM proposed to supersede AD 2012-24-06. AD
2012-24-06 currently requires replacing the stall warning computer
(SWC) with a new SWC that provides an artificial stall warning in icing
conditions, and modifying the airplane for the replacement of the SWC.
The NPRM was prompted by a determination that airplanes with certain
modifications were excluded from the applicability in AD 2012-24-06,
and are affected by the identified unsafe condition; and the SWC
required by AD 2012-24-06 contained erroneous logic. This action
revises the NPRM by reducing the compliance time for replacing the
SWCs. We are proposing this supplemental NPRM (SNPRM) to prevent
natural stall events during operation in icing conditions, which could
result in loss of control of the airplane. Since this compliance time
reduction imposes an additional burden to operators, we are reopening
the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these
proposed changes.

DATES: We must receive comments on this SNPRM by August 26, 2016.

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Saab AB, Saab
Aeronautics Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 340B airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on December 17, 2015 (80 FR 78699)
(``the NPRM''). The NPRM proposed to supersede AD 2012-24-06, Amendment
39-17276 (77 FR 73279, December 10, 2012) (``AD 2012-24-06''). AD 2012-
24-06 currently requires replacing the SWC with a new SWC that provides
an artificial stall warning in icing conditions, and modifying the
airplane for the replacement of the SWC. The NPRM was prompted by a
determination that airplanes with certain modifications were excluded
from the applicability in AD 2012-24-06, and are affected by the
identified unsafe condition; and the SWC required by AD 2012-24-06
contained erroneous logic. The NPRM proposed to add airplanes to the
applicability, and would add requirements to replace the existing SWCs
with new, improved SWCs and modify the airplane for the new replacement
of the SWC.

Actions Since Previous NPRM Was Issued

    Since we issued the NPRM, we have determined that the compliance
time for replacing the SWCs must be reduced to ensure the unsafe
condition is addressed prior to the beginning of icing season after
publication of the AD. We have determined that parts are available to
support the reduced compliance time.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0218, dated September 29, 2014 (referred
to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on certain Saab AB, Saab
Aeronautics Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 340B airplanes. The MCAI
states:

    A few natural stall events, specifically when operating in icing
conditions, have been experienced on SAAB 340 series aeroplanes,
without receiving a prior stall warning.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in loss of
control of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, SAAB developed a
modified stall warning system, incorporating improved stall warning
logic, and issued Service Bulletin (SB) 340-27-098 and SB 340-27-
099, providing instructions to replace the Stall Warning Computer
(SWC) with a new SWC, and instructions to activate the new SWC. The
new system included stall warning curves optimized for operation in
icing conditions, which are activated by selection of Engine Anti-
Ice.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD 2011-0219 [http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2011-0219, which corresponds to FAA AD 2012-24-
06] to require installation of the improved SWC.
    After that [EASA] AD was issued, in-service experience with the
improved stall warning system revealed cases of premature stall
warning activation during the take-off phase. In numerous recorded
cases, the onset of stall warning occurred without the 6 minute
delay after weight off wheels.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to premature stick
shaker activation and consequent increase in pilot workload during
the take-off phase, possibly resulting in reduced control of the
aeroplane.
    To correct this unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2013-0254
[http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2013-0254] retaining the requirements
of EASA AD 2011-0219, which was superseded, to require deactivation
of the ice speed curves in the improved SWC on SAAB 340 aeroplanes,
in accordance with SAAB SB 340-27-116.
    Since EASA AD 2013-0254 was issued, SAAB developed a technical
solution to eliminate the premature activation of the stall warning
ice curves and issued SB 340-27-120 (modification of the existing
Stall Warning System installation), SB 340-27-121 (activation of
improved SWC for aeroplanes with a basic wing tip) and SB 340-27-122
(activation of improved SWC for aeroplanes with an extended wing
tip). SAAB SB 340-27-120 provides modification and installation
instructions valid for pre- and post-SB 340-27-097, 340-27-098, SB
340-27-099 and SB 340-27-116 aeroplanes. For aeroplanes modified in
accordance with SAAB AB mod. No. 2650 and/or mod. No. 2859 which are
no longer registered in Canada, SAAB AB issued SAAB AB SB 340-27-109
to provide modification and installation instructions to remove the
ice speed curve function.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2013-0254, which is superseded, and requires
modification of the Stall Warning and Identification System and
replacement of the SWC with an improved unit.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
6544.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics has issued the following service
information:
     Saab Service Bulletin 340-27-109, dated April 14, 2014.
     Saab Service Bulletin 340-27-116, dated October 18, 2013.
     Saab Service Bulletin 340-27-120, dated July 11, 2014.
     Saab Service Bulletin 340-27-121, dated July 11, 2014.
     Saab Service Bulletin 340-27-122, dated July 11, 2014.
    The service information describes procedures for deactivating the
stall warning speed curves in the SWCs for certain airplanes; replacing
the existing SWCs with new, improved SWCs; and modifying the airplane
for the new replacement of the SWC. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business or by the means identified in
the ADDRESSES section.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this proposed AD. We considered the comments received.

Request To Reduce Compliance Time

    Saab asked that the compliance time in paragraph (h) of the
proposed AD (in the NPRM) for replacement of the SWC be reduced from 12
to 3 months. Saab stated that a global alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) was issued by the FAA on September 4, 2014, with a compliance
time of 18 months; therefore, operators should have scheduled
replacement of the SWCs after the AMOC was issued. Saab also stated
that the MCAI required compliance within 18 months after September 29,
2014, and that time has expired. Saab added that reducing the
compliance time to 3 months is more in line with the MCAI. In addition,
Saab noted that all operators have ordered replacement SWCs, and Saab
has those parts in stock and ready for delivery.
    We agree with the commenter's request to reduce the compliance
time, for the reasons provided. We also note that reducing the
compliance time will ensure that new SWCs are installed before the
icing season begins. We have changed the compliance time in paragraph
(h) of this proposed AD from 12 to 3 months accordingly.

Request To Correct Email Address

    Saab asked that the Saab email address in the proposed AD (in the
NPRM) be corrected to specify the following:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    We agree with the commenter's request. The email address for Model
SAAB 2000 airplanes was inadvertently cited in the NPRM. We have
corrected the address in the ADDRESSES section and in paragraph (l)(2)
of this proposed AD.

Request To Use Later Revisions of Service Information

    Silver Airways asked if we could include subsequent revisions of
the referenced service information for AD 2012-24-06.
    We do not agree with the commenter's request because this proposed
AD does not require the service information referenced in AD 2012-24-
06. This proposed AD does refer to the latest available service
information for the proposed actions. Referring to a specific service
bulletin in an AD and using the phrase ``or later FAA-approved
revisions'' violates Office of the Federal Register regulations for
approving materials that are incorporated by reference. However,
operators may request approval to use a later revision of the
referenced service information as an AMOC under the provisions of
paragraph (k)(1) of this proposed AD. We have not changed this final
rule regarding this issue.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This SNPRM

    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 these
same type designs.
    Certain changes described above expand the scope of the NPRM. As a
result, we have determined that it is necessary to reopen the comment
period to provide additional opportunity for the public to comment on
this SNPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this SNPRM affects 105 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2012-24-06, and retained in
this SNPRM, take about 78 work-hours per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work-hour. Required parts cost about $33,000 per
product. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that
are required by AD 2012-24-06 is $39,630 per product.
    The new requirement of this SNPRM adds no additional economic
burden.

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.

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:

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket Nos. Cp07-39-000]

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

December 21, 2006.
    Take notice that on December 15, 2006, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, SE, Charleston, West
Virginia 25314 filed in Docket No. CP07-39-000, an application pursuant
to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, for
authorization to abandon by sale to Chesapeake Appalachia, LLC
(Chesapeake) certain natural gas facilities located in Boone, Lincoln,
and Putnam Counties, West Virginia. Columbia further requests that the
Commission finds the facilities, when sold, as exempt from the
Commission's jurisdiction pursuant to Section 1(b) of the NGA, all as
more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may also 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 access the document. For
assistance, call<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Fredric J. George, Lead Counsel, Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation,
PO Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia 25325-1273, or call (304) 357-
2359.
    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 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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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 via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
(http://www.ferc.gov) site under the ``e-Filing'' link.

    Comment Date: January 10, 2007.

NOTICE OF REGISTRATION OF TRADE NAMES

Part 215 of the Department’s Regulations (14 CFR Part 215) provides
that any certificated air carrier wishing to use an alternative trade
name must first register that name with the Department.  The rule
further states that the Department may register such name after the
carrier gives notification of the proposed use of the name to similarly
named carriers.

Atlantic Coast Airlines, Inc. (ACA) is a certificated air carrier.  In
July 2003, the carrier announced plans to begin a new low-cost air
service operating out of Washington (Dulles).  On November 19, 2003, the
carrier filed a request that the Department register “Independence
Air” as a trade name for use in these new services.  At the same time,
ACA also requested that the Department register the trade name “ACA
Private Shuttle.”  According to ACA, “ACA Private Shuttle” is an
informal name that it uses to market its non-scheduled services.

After reviewing our files, we have identified no other certificated,
commuter, or foreign air carriers using a name similar to
“Independence Air” or “ACA Private Shuttle.”  Under these
circumstances, we hereby register “Independence Air” and “ACA
Private Shuttle” as trade names to be used by ACA in its certificated
air carrier operations.

Title:  NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (Renewal)

ICR numbers:  EPA ICR No. 1773.09, OMB Control No. 2050-0171

ICR Status:   This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2008.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.  An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable.  The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.

	Abstract:   EPA, under authority of section 112d of the Clean Air Act,
established National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAPs) for hazardous waste combustors:  hazardous waste burning
incinerators, cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns,
industrial/commercial/institutional boilers and process heaters, and
hydrochloric acid production furnaces.  These NESHAPs are found in 40
CFR part 63, subpart EEE.  Under these standards, hazardous waste
combustors are required to meet emission levels that reflect the maximum
achievable control technology.

	Subpart EEE of 40 CFR part 63 requires hazardous waste combustors to
perform testing and monitoring and submit various reports and perform
recordkeeping activities in order to demonstrate compliance with
emission standards.  Much of the information is kept on-site at the
facilities; some is also submitted to the EPA or the delegated state
agency.  Facilities and EPA use the data to ensure compliance with
Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards.

Burden Statement:  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden
for this collection of information is estimated to average 52 hours per
response.  Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency.  This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply
with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have
subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a
collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the
collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Respondents/Affected Entities:  Business or other for-profit, and State,
Local, or Tribal governments.

	Estimated Number of Respondents:  289

	Frequency of Response:  On occasion

	Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:  199,897

	Estimated Total Annual Cost:  $21,696,865, includes $16,010,727 for
annualized labor cost, and $5,686,138 in annualized capital or O&M
costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,630 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens.  This decrease is due to the fact that most
sources have completed several actions involving one-time costs, such as
initial notification, notice of the intent to comply, as well as public
meetings related to these actions.
