What Information Is EPA Particularly Interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What Should I Consider When I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page

Register citation.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
business or other for-profit, not-for-profit institutions, farms, as
well as state, local or tribal governments.
    Title: Requirements for Generators, Transporters, and Waste
Management Facilities Under the RCRA Hazardous Waste Manifest System.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0801.16, OMB Control No. 2050-0039.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31,
2008. 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: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as
amended, establishes a national program to assure that hazardous waste
management practices are conducted in a manner that is protective of
human health and the environment. EPA's authority to require compliance
with the manifest system stems primarily from RCRA section 3002(a)(5).
This section

mandates a hazardous waste manifest ``system'' to assure that all
hazardous waste generated is designated for and arrives at the
appropriate treatment, storage, and disposal facility. An essential
part of this manifest system is the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest
(Form 8700-22A). The manifest is a tracking document that accompanies
the waste from its generation site to its final disposition. The
manifest lists the wastes that are being shipped and the final
destination of the waste. The manifest system is a self-enforcing
mechanism that requires generators, transporters, and owner/operators
of treatment, storage, and disposal facilities to participate in
hazardous waste tracking. In addition, the manifest provides
information to transporters and waste management facility workers on
the hazardous nature of the waste, identifies wastes so that they can
be managed appropriately in the event of an accident, spill, or leak,
and ensures that shipments of hazardous waste are managed properly and
delivered to their designated facilities.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.52
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.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 131,803.
    Frequency of response: Per Waste Shipment.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
13.37.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 3,264,991.
    Estimated total annual costs: $152,600,000. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $150,000,000 for labor and an estimated cost
of $2,600,000 for capital investment and maintenance and operational
costs.

What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No.
1, To Amend Article 20, Rule 10 Regarding Clearly Erroneous
Transactions

June 21, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\, and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on June 17, 2010, the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (``CHX'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the CHX. On June 21,
2010, the Exchange submitted Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule
change. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on
the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    CHX proposes to amend Article 20, Rule 10 to amend its rules
regarding clearly erroneous transactions. The text of this proposed
rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at http://
www.chx.com and in the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the CHX included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule changes and
discussed any comments it received regarding the proposal. The text of
these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV
below. The CHX has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C
below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The CHX is proposing to amend Article 20, Rule 10 regarding is
handling of clearly erroneous trade executions. First, the Exchange
proposes replacing existing paragraph (c)(2) of Rule 10, entitled
``Unusual Circumstances and Joint Market Rulings'' with a new
paragraph, entitled ``Multi-Stock Events Involving Twenty or More
Securities.'' Second, the Exchange is replacing existing paragraph
(c)(4) of Rule 10, entitled ``Numerical Guidelines Applicable to
Volatile Market Opens'' with a new paragraph, entitled ``Individual
Stock Trading Pauses.'' Third, the Exchange is proposing changes to
existing paragraphs (f) and (g) of Rule 10 to eliminate the ability of
the Exchange to deviate from the Numerical Guidelines contained in
paragraph (c)(1) (other than under limited circumstances set forth in
paragraph (f)) when deciding which transactions will be reviewed by the
Exchange as potentially clearly erroneous. Finally, the Exchange
proposes modifications to paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(3) and (e) of Rule 10
consistent with the proposed changes to paragraphs (c)(2) and (c)(4).
As proposed, the provisions of paragraphs (c), (e)(2), (f), and (g) of
Rule 11.17, as amended pursuant to this filing, would be in effect
during a pilot period set to end on December 10, 2010. If the pilot is
not either extended or approved permanent by December 10, 2010, the
prior versions of paragraphs (c), (e)(2), (f), and (g) of Rule 11.17
would be in effect.
    The Exchange is proposing the rule changes described below in
consultation with other markets and Commission staff to provide for
uniform treatment: (1) Of clearly erroneous execution reviews in Multi-
Stock Events involving twenty or more securities; and (2) in the event
transactions occur that result in the issuance of an individual stock
trading pause by the primary market and subsequent transactions that
occur before the trading pause is in effect on the Exchange. The
Exchange has also proposed additional changes to Rule 10 that reduce
the ability of the Exchange to deviate from the objective standards set
forth in the Rule. The proposed changes are described in further detail
below.
Revised Paragraph (c)(2) Related to Multi-Stock Events Involving Twenty
or More Securities
    The Exchange proposes to eliminate the majority of existing
paragraph (c)(2), which provides flexibility to the Exchange to use
different Numerical Guidelines or Reference Prices in various ``Unusual
Circumstances.'' The Exchange proposes to replace this paragraph with
new language that would apply to Multi-Stock Events involving twenty or
more securities whose executions occurred within a period of five
minutes or less. The revised paragraph would retain language making
clear that during Multi-Stock Events involving twenty or more
securities the number of affected transactions may be such that
immediate finality is necessary to maintain a fair and orderly market
and to protect investors and the public interest. Accordingly, in such
circumstances, decisions made by the Exchange in consultation with
other markets could not be appealed. Further, as proposed, in
connection with reviews of Multi-Stock Events involving twenty or more
securities, the Exchange may use a Reference Price other than
consolidated last sale in its review of potentially clearly erroneous
executions. With the exception of those securities under review that
are subject to an individual stock trading pause as described in
proposed paragraph (c)(4), and to ensure consistent application across
market centers when proposed paragraph (c)(2) is invoked, the Exchange
will promptly coordinate with the other market centers to determine the
appropriate review period, which may be greater than the period of five
minutes or less that triggered application of proposed paragraph
(c)(2), as well as select one or more specific points in time prior to
the transactions in question and use transaction prices at or
immediately prior to the one or more specific points in time selected
as the Reference Price. The Exchange will nullify as clearly erroneous
all transactions that are at prices equal to or greater than 30% away
from the Reference Price in each affected security during the review
period selected by the Exchange and other markets consistent with the
proposed paragraph (c)(2).
    Because the Exchange and other market centers are adopting a
different threshold and standards to handle large-scale market events,
which would include events occurring during times of high volatility at
the beginning of regular trading hours, the Exchange proposes deletion
of paragraph (c)(4) (``Numerical Guidelines Applicable to Volatile
Market Opens'') of the existing rule. The Exchange believes that this
provision is no longer necessary, and if maintained, could result in
extremely high Numerical Guidelines (up to 90%) in certain
circumstances.
Revised Paragraph (c)(4) Related to Individual Stock Trading Pauses
    The primary listing markets for U.S. stocks recently amended their
rules so that they may, from time to time, issue

a trading pause for an individual security if the price of such
security moves 10% or more from a sale in a preceding five-minute
period. In this regard, the Exchange recently amended its rules to
pause trading in an individual stock when the primary listing market
for such stock issues a trading pause in any Circuit Breaker
Securities, as defined in Interpretation and Policy .06 of Rule 2 of
Article 20.\3\ As described above, the Exchange is proposing to
eliminate existing paragraph (c)(4) (``Numerical Guidelines Applicable
to Volatile Market Opens''). The Exchange proposes adopting a rule,
numbered as (c)(4) following such elimination, which will provide for
uniform treatment of clearly erroneous execution reviews in the event
transactions occur that result in the issuance of an individual stock
trading pause by the primary listing market and subsequent transactions
that occur before the trading pause is in effect on the Exchange. The
proposed rule change is necessary to provide greater certainty of the
clearly erroneous Reference Price for transactions that trigger a
trading pause (the ``Trigger Trade'') and subsequent transactions
occurring between the time of the Trigger Trade and the time the
trading pause message is received by the Exchange from the single plan
processor responsible for consolidation and dissemination of
information for the security and put into effect on the Exchange,
especially under highly volatile and active market conditions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See, CHX Article 20, Rule 2; see also Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 62252 (June 10, 2010), 75 FR 34186 (June 16, 2010)
(SR-CHX-2010-10).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to revise paragraph (c)(4) of Rule 10 to
allow the Exchange to use the price that triggered a trading pause in
an individual stock (the ``Trading Pause Trigger Price'') as the
Reference Price for clearly erroneous execution reviews of a Trigger
Trade and transactions that occur immediately after a Trigger Trade but
before a trading pause is in effect on the Exchange. As proposed, the
phrase ``Trading Pause Trigger Price'' shall mean the price that
triggered a trading pause in any Circuit Breaker Securities as defined
in Interpretation and Policy .06 of Rule 2 of Article 20. The Trading
Pause Trigger Price reflects a price calculated by the primary listing
market over a rolling five-minute period and may differ from the
execution price of a transaction that triggered a trading pause. The
Exchange will rely on the primary listing market that issued an
individual stock trading pause to determine and communicate the Trading
Pause Trigger Price for such stock. The Exchange proposes to make clear
in the text that the proposed standards in paragraph (c)(4) apply
regardless of whether the security at issue is part of a Multi-Stock
Event involving five or more securities as described in proposed
paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2).
    As proposed, the Numerical Guidelines set forth in Rule 10(c)(1),
other than those Numerical Guidelines applicable to Multi-Stock Events,
would apply to reviews of Trigger Trades and subsequent transactions.
The Exchange proposes to review, on its own motion pursuant to
paragraph (g) of the Rule, all transactions that trigger a trading
pause and subsequent transactions occurring before the trading pause is
in effect on the Exchange. The Exchange has proposed to limit such
reviews to reviews of transactions that executed at a price lower than
the Trading Pause Trigger Price in the event of a price decline and
higher than the Trading Pause Trigger Price in the event of a price
rise. Because the proposed rules for trading pauses would only apply
within the Regular Trading Session,\4\ an execution would be reviewed
and nullified as clearly erroneous if it exceeds the following
thresholds:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Regular Trading Session operates from 8:30 a.m. CT to
3:00 p.m. CT. Article 20, Rule 1(b). According to rules of the
primary listing markets, an individual stock trading pause can be
issued based on a Trigger Trade that occurs at any time between 8:45
a.m. and 2:35 p.m. CT. See, NASDAQ Rule 4120(a)(11), NYSE Rule 80C,
and NYSE Arca Rule 7.11.

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

Revisions to Paragraphs (f) and (g)
    Consistent with other proposals made in this filing, the Exchange
proposes modifying paragraphs (f) and (g) to eliminate the ability of
an Exchange official to deviate from the Numerical Guidelines contained
in the Rule other than under very limited circumstances set forth in
paragraph (f).
    Current paragraph (f) provides an officer of the Exchange or other
senior level employee designee the ability on his or her own motion, to
review and rule on executions that result from ``any disruption or a
malfunction in the use or operation of any electronic communications
and trading facilities of the Exchange, or extraordinary market
conditions or other circumstances in which the nullification of
transactions may be necessary for the maintenance of a fair and orderly
market or the protection of investors and the public interest exist.''
Without modification, the language ``extraordinary market conditions or
other circumstances * * * '' would leave the Exchange with broad
discretion to deviate from the Numerical Guidelines set forth in
paragraph (c)(1). Thus, the Exchange proposes narrowing the scope of
paragraph (f) so that it only permits the Exchange to nullify
transactions consistent with that paragraph (including at a lower
Numerical Guideline) if there is a disruption or malfunction in the
operation of the Exchange's system. For the same reason, the Exchange
proposes eliminating the words ``use or'' from the language in
paragraph (f) to make clear that the provision only applies to a
disruption or malfunction of the Exchange's system (and not of an
Exchange user's systems).
    Paragraph (g) gives an officer of the Exchange or other senior
level employee designee the ability on his or her own motion to review
transactions as potentially clearly erroneous. Consistent with the goal
of achieving more objective and standard results, the Exchange proposes
deleting language in existing paragraph (g) that would allow the
Exchange to deviate from the Numerical Guidelines contained in
paragraph (c)(1). In addition, the Exchange proposes to make clear that
any Officer of the Exchange or other senior level employee reviewing
transactions on his or her own motion must follow the guidelines set
forth in proposed paragraph (c)(4), if applicable.

Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to modify paragraph (g) to state
that an officer must rely on paragraphs (c)(1)-(4) of Rule 10 when
reviewing transactions on his or her own motion.
Additional Conforming Revisions to Paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(3) and (e)
    Based on proposed paragraph (c)(2), the Exchange has proposed
certain conforming changes to paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(3) and (e) of the
existing Rule, as described below. Under current Rule 10, a transaction
may be found to be clearly erroneous only if the price of the
transaction to buy (sell) that is the subject of the complaint is
greater than (less than) the Reference Price by an amount that equals
or exceeds the Numerical Guidelines set forth in paragraph (c)(1) of
the Rule. The ``Reference Price'' is currently defined as ``the
consolidated last sale immediately prior to the execution(s) under
review except for in Unusual Circumstances as described in paragraph
(c)(2)'' of Rule 10. The Exchange proposes modifying paragraph (c)(1)
consistent with the changes described above such that the Exchange
shall use the consolidated last sale immediately prior to the
execution(s) under review as the Reference Price except for: (A) Multi-
Stock Events involving twenty or more securities, as described in
proposed paragraph (c)(2); (B) transactions not involving a Multi-Stock
Event as described in proposed paragraph (c)(2) that trigger a trading
pause and subsequent transactions, as described in proposed paragraph
(c)(4), in which case the Reference Price shall be determined in
accordance with that paragraph (c)(4); and (C) in other circumstances,
such as, for example, relevant news impacting a security or securities,
periods of extreme market volatility, sustained illiquidity, or
widespread system issues, where use of a different Reference Price is
necessary for the maintenance of a fair and orderly market and the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange also
proposes modifying paragraph (c)(1) to reduce uncertainty as to the
applicability of the Numerical Guidelines, by requiring a finding that
an execution was clearly erroneous if such execution exceeds the
Numerical Guidelines, subject only to the Additional Factors included
in paragraph (c)(3). Moreover, the Exchange proposes revising the
existing description for Multi-Stock Events that is contained on the
Numerical Guidelines chart to make clear that different Numerical
Guidelines apply for Multi-Stock Events involving five or more, but
less than twenty, securities whose executions occurred within a period
of five minutes or less. In addition, the Exchange proposes adding to
the Numerical Guidelines chart a row that contains the Numerical
Guidelines (30%) for Multi-Stock Events involving twenty or more
securities whose executions occurred within a period of five minutes or
less.
    The Exchange proposes clarifying paragraph (c)(3) to make clear
that the additional factors set forth in that paragraph are not
intended to provide any discretion to an Exchange official to deviate
from the guidelines that apply to Multi-Stock Events or to transactions
in securities subject to individual stock trading pauses.
    Finally, the Exchange proposes amending paragraph (e)(2), related
to appeals of clearly erroneous execution decisions by the Exchange, to
preserve non-appealability of all joint rulings between the Exchange
and one or more other market centers. The Exchange believes that
certainty and consistency is critical to reviews of related executions
that span multiple market centers. Accordingly, although the Exchange
has proposed deletion of such language from existing paragraph (c)(3),
the Exchange proposes adding such language back in to paragraph (e)(2)
to make clear that joint market rulings are not appealable.
2. Statutory Basis
    Approval of the rule change proposed in this submission is
consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder that are applicable to a national securities
exchange, and, in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of
the Act.\5\ In particular, the proposed change is consistent with
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ because it would promote just and
equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and perfect the
mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, protect investors and the public interest. The proposed
rule change is also designed to support the principles of Section
11A(a)(1) \7\ of the Act in that it seeks to assure fair competition
among brokers and dealers and among exchange markets. The Exchange
believes that the proposed rule meets these requirements in that it
promotes transparency and uniformity across markets concerning reviews
of potentially clearly erroneous executions in various contexts,
including reviews in the context of a Multi-Stock Event involving
twenty or more securities and reviews resulting from a Trigger Trade
and any executions occurring immediately after a Trigger Trade but
before a trading pause is in effect on the Exchange. Further, the
Exchange believes that the proposed changes enhance the objectivity of
decisions made by the Exchange with respect to clearly erroneous
executions.

impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    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 would expand the availability of RNAV in Alaska and
improve the efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace
System (NAS) by lessening the dependency on ground based navigation.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2021-1083; Airspace Docket No. 19-AAL-62) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to FAA Docket No. FAA-2021-1083; Airspace Docket No. 19-AAL-62''. The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified comment
closing date will be considered before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this action may be changed in light of
comments received. All comments submitted will be available for
examination in the public docket both before and after the comment

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

Background

    In 2003, Congress enacted the Vision 100-Century of Aviation
Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 108-176), which established a joint
planning and development office in the FAA to manage the work related
to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Today,
NextGen is an ongoing FAA-led modernization of the nation's air
transportation system to make flying safer, more efficient, and more
predictable.
    In support of NextGen, this proposal is part of a larger and
comprehensive T-route modernization project in the state of Alaska. The
project mission statement states: ``To modernize Alaska's Air Traffic
Service route structure using satellite based navigation Development of
new T-routes and optimization of existing T-routes will enhance safety,
increase efficiency and access, and will provide en route continuity
that is not subject to the restrictions associated with ground based
airway navigation.'' As part of this project, the FAA evaluated the
existing Colored Airway structure for: (a) Direct replacement (i.e.,
overlay) with a T-route that offers a similar or lower Minimum En route
Altitude (MEA) or Global Navigation Satellite System Minimum En route
Altitude (GNSS MEA); (b) the replacement of the colored airway with a
T-route in an optimized but similar geographic area, while retaining
similar or lower MEA; or (c) removal with no route structure (T-route)
restored in that area because the value was determined to be
insignificant.
    The aviation industry/users have indicated a desire for the FAA to
transition the Alaskan en route navigation structure away from
dependency on Non-Directional Beacons (NDB), and move to develop and
improve the RNAV route structure. The FAA proposes to amend RNAV route
T-229 to provide an alternate waypoint (WP), VANTY WP, in anticipation
of the future decommissioning of the Point Hope, AK, (PHO) NDB. The
proposed amendment would also provide a lowered GNSS MEA, from 4,000
Mean Sea Level (MSL) to 3,000 MSL, between the SURGE WP and the VANTY
WP. The SURGE WP is not a turn point on the route, so the proposal does
not include it in the legal description but it will be depicted on the
sectional chart.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend RNAV
route T-229 in the vicinity of Point Hope, AK in support of a large and
comprehensive T-route modernization project for the state of Alaska.
The proposed route is described below.
    T-229: The FAA proposes to amend T-229 from the SURGE WP to the
newly established VANTY WP. The rest of the route would remain
unchanged.
    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11F dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The RNAV listed in this document would be published subsequently in FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
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 will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

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

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2015-0239]

Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Volvo Trucks
of North America Application for an Exemption

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
announces its decision to grant Volvo Trucks of North America's (Volvo)
application for a limited 2-year exemption from 49 CFR 393.60(e)(1) on
behalf of motor carriers operating Volvo commercial motor vehicles
(CMVs) to use a rain and ambient light detection sensor mounted in the
windshield area

at a height lower than what is currently allowed by the regulation. The
sensor is part of a hands-free driver aid equipment package intended to
improve driver safety. The Agency has determined that the placement of
the rain and ambient light detection sensor in the windshield area
would not have an adverse impact on safety and that the terms and
conditions of the exemption would achieve a level of safety equivalent
to or greater than the level of safety provided by the regulation.

DATES: This exemption is effective December 21, 2015 and ending
December 20, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Luke Loy, Vehicle and Roadside
Operations Division, Office of Carrier, Driver, and Vehicle Safety, MC-
PSV,<PHONE_NUMBER>, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or
comments submitted to notice requesting public comments on the
exemption application, go to www.regulations.gov at any time or visit
Room W12-140 on the ground level of the West Building, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., ET, Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays. The on-line Federal document
management system is available 24 hours each day, 365 days each year.
The docket number is listed at the beginning of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 to grant
exemptions from certain parts of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations. FMCSA must publish a notice of each exemption request in
the Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the
public an opportunity to inspect the information relevant to the
application, including any safety analyses that have been conducted.
The Agency must also provide an opportunity for public comment on the
request.
    The Agency reviews safety analyses and public comments submitted,
and determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The decision of
the Agency must be published in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(b)) with the reasons for denying or granting the application
and, if granted, the name of the person or class of persons receiving
the exemption, and the regulatory provision from which the exemption is
granted. The notice must also specify the effective period and explain
the terms and conditions of the exemption. The exemption may be renewed
(49 CFR 381.300(b)).

Volvo's Application for Exemption

    Volvo applied for an exemption from 49 CFR 393.60(e)(1) to allow
the placement of a rain and ambient light detection sensor on Volvo
CMVs lower in the windshield than is currently permitted by the
Agency's regulations in order to utilize a mounting location that
allows the sensor to function correctly. A copy of the application is
included in the docket referenced at the beginning of this notice.
    Section 393.60(e)(1) of the FMCSRs prohibits the obstruction of the
driver's field of view by devices mounted on the windshield. Antennas,
transponders, and similar devices must not be mounted more than 152 mm
(6 inches) below the upper edge of the windshield. These devices must
be located outside the area swept by the windshield wipers, and outside
the driver's sight lines to the road and highway signs and signals.
    The application stated:

    Volvo is making this request so that it becomes possible to
introduce a rain and ambient light detection sensor as an option on
some Volvo commercial motor vehicles. In order for the sensor to
function correctly, it must be installed in the wiper swept area of
the windshield. This is due to the fact that an unswept portion of
the windshield, which would not necessarily be kept clean and dry by
the wipers, could make it difficult for the sensor to determine if
the wipers are needed or not. The sensor, which is approximately 2.6
inches tall by 2.2 inches wide, would be placed on the passenger
side of the windshield, outside the driver's sight lines to all
mirrors, highway signs, signals, and view of the road ahead.
Therefore, we respectfully request an exemption to grant us
permission to proceed with the installation of the sensor on the
lower part of the windshield within the bottom 6 inches of the area
swept by the wipers. . .
    This will enable Volvo to install this hands-free driver aid
equipment for commercial motor vehicle operators while ensuring the
adherence to the specified location requirements requested. . .

    Without the proposed exemption, Volvo stated that it will not be
able to deploy the rain sensor and ambient light system in vehicle
models because (1) its ``customers will be fined for violating the
current regulation,'' and (2) ``the rain and ambient light sensing
system will not perform adequately and will not generate the hands-free
driver aid benefits that would be expected.''
    The exemption would apply to all Volvo CMVs. Volvo believes that
mounting the sensor lower in the windshield will allow it to function
properly while maximizing the external view of the road and maintaining
an adequate forward facing field of view for the driver.

Comments

    FMCSA published a notice of the application in the Federal Register
on July 24, 2015, and asked for public comment (80 FR 44186).
    The Agency received one comment from an anonymous commenter,
supporting the exemption application.

FMCSA Decision

    The FMCSA has evaluated the Volvo exemption application. The Agency
believes that granting the temporary exemption to allow the placement
of the rain and ambient light detection sensor lower in the windshield
than is currently permitted by the Agency's regulations will provide a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of
safety achieved without the exemption because (1) based on the
technical information available, there is no indication that the rain
and ambient light detection sensor would obstruct drivers' views of the
roadway, highway signs and surrounding traffic; (2) generally, trucks
and buses have an elevated seating position that greatly improves the
forward visual field of the driver, and any impairment of available
sight lines would be minimal; and (3) the location within the bottom 7
inches of the area swept by the windshield wiper \1\ and out of the
driver's normal sightline will be reasonable and enforceable at
roadside. In addition, the Agency believes that the use of rain and
ambient light detection sensors by fleets is likely to improve the
overall level of safety to the motoring public.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In its exemption application, Volvo referenced two different
mounting locations: ``within the bottom 6 inches of the area swept
by the wipers,'' and ``within 7 inches at the bottom of the wiper
swept area of the windshield. FMCSA confirmed with the applicant,
Mr. Tim LaFon, Volvo's Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, that
the top of the sensor will be located 160 mm (6.3 inches) from the
bottom of the windshield. As such, the subject exemption permits
mounting of the rain and ambient light detection sensor within the
bottom 7 inches of the area swept by the wipers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This action is consistent with previous Agency action permitting
the placement of similarly-sized devices on CMVs within the lower
portion of the windshield within the bottom 7 inches of the wiper swept
area. In March 2015, FMCSA granted a temporary exemption to Volvo/
Prevost, LLC enabling the mounting of lane departure warning

(LDW) system sensors not more than 7 inches above the lower edge of the
area swept by the windshield wipers and outside the driver's sight
lines to the road and highway signs and signals (80 FR 13460). FMCSA is
not aware of any evidence showing that the installation of the LDW
system sensors has resulted in any degradation in safety.

Terms and Conditions for the Exemption

    The Agency hereby grants the exemption for a 2-year period,
beginning December 21, 2015 and ending December 20, 2017. During the
temporary exemption period, motor carriers will be allowed to operate
CMVs manufactured by Volvo equipped with rain and ambient light
detection sensors placed on the lower part of the passenger side of the
windshield within the bottom 7 inches of the area swept by the wipers,
outside the driver's sight lines to all mirrors, highway signs,
signals, and view of the road ahead. The exemption will be valid for 2
years unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be
rescinded if: (1) Motor carriers and/or commercial motor vehicles fail
to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b).
    Interested parties possessing information that would demonstrate
that motor carriers operating Volvo CMVs equipped with rain and ambient
light sensors are not achieving the requisite statutory level of safety
should immediately notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any such
information and, if safety is being compromised or if the continuation
of the exemption is not consistent with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315(b), will take immediate steps to revoke the exemption.

Preemption

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31313(d), as implemented by 49 CFR
381.600, during the period this exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation applicable to interstate commerce that
conflicts with or is inconsistent with this exemption with respect to a
firm or person operating under the exemption. States may, but are not
required to, adopt the same exemption with respect to operations in
intrastate commerce.

    Issued on: December 10, 2015.

Airworthiness Directives; Pacific Aerospace Limited Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) AD 2014-20-13
for certain Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes. 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 fatigue cracks on the fin forward pickup
plates, which could cause it to fail. We are issuing this AD to require
actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 15, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of December 15,
2015.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to add an AD that would apply to certain Pacific Aerospace
Limited Model 750XL airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on August 27, 2015 (80 FR 51966), and proposed to supersede AD
2014-20-13, Amendment 39-17986 (79 FR 60329, October 7, 2014).
    Since we issued AD 2014-20-13, Amendment 39-17986 (79 FR 60329,
October 7, 2014), Pacific Aerospace Limited has revised the related
service information and developed a terminating action for the
repetitive inspections.
    The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which is the aviation authority
for New Zealand, has issued AD DCA/750XL/18A, dated August 4, 2015
(referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    DCA/750XL/18A revised to add note 2 and introduce minor
editorial changes. This AD supersedes DCA/750XL/18 and DCA/750XL/16A
to introduce the requirements in Pacific Aerospace Limited Mandatory
Service Bulletin (MSB) PACSB/XL/068 issue 5, dated 29 June 2015. The
revised MSB introduces a life limit for fin forward pickup P/N 11-
10281-1 and reduces the torque setting for the fin forward pickup
bolt to alleviate some of the loads applied to the pickup. The MSB
also introduces a replacement fin forward pickup P/N 11-03375-1
which is not life limited.

    You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2015-3620-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (80 FR 51966, August 27,
2015) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (80 FR 51966, August 27, 2015) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (80 FR 51966, August 27, 2015).

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Pacific Aerospace Limited Mandatory Service Bulletin
PACSB/XL/068, Issue 5, dated June 29, 2015. The service bulletin
describes procedures for reducing the torque setting for the fin
forward pickup bolt. The service bulletin also introduces a new,
improved replacement fin forward pickup plate, part number (P/N) 11-
0375-1, to replace P/N 11-10281-1. 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 of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 18 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 22 work-hours per product to
comply with all the requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is
$85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $1,692 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $64,116, or $3,562 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 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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
3620; 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.

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-17986 (79 FR
60329, October 7, 2014) and adding the following new AD:

2015-23-03 Pacific Aerospace Limited: Amendment 39-18319; Docket No.
FAA-2015-3620; Directorate Identifier 2015-CE-024-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) becomes effective December 15,
2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2014-20-13, Amendment 39-17986 (79 FR 60329,
October 7, 2014).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL
airplanes, all serial numbers through XL-193, XL-195, and XL-197,
certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 53: Fuselage.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by 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 fatigue cracks
on the fin forward pickup plates. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct cracked fin forward pickup plates to prevent failure of
the fin forward pickup plates, which could result in reduced
control.

(f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the actions in paragraphs (f)(1) through
(f)(4) of this AD:
    (1) Within the next 150 hours time-in-service (TIS) after
December 15, 2015 (the effective date of this AD), reduce the fin
forward pickup bolt torque following the procedures in section 1.D.,
paragraphs A. 1) and A. 2) of the PLANNING INFORMATION in Pacific
Aerospace Limited Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/068, Issue 5,
dated June 29, 2015.
    (2) At or before reaching 2,000 hours total time-in-service
(TTIS) or within the next 150 hours TIS after December 15, 2015 (the
effective date of this AD), whichever occurs later, and repetitively
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 600 hours TIS or 12 months,
whichever occurs first, do a detailed visual inspection and liquid
penetrant inspection of the fin forward pickup plates for any
evidence of cracking. Do the inspections following the procedures in
sections 2.A. and 2.B. of the ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS in Pacific
Aerospace Limited Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/068, Issue 5,
dated June 29, 2015.
    (3) If cracks are found during any inspection required in
paragraph (f)(2) of this AD, before further flight, replace the fin
forward pickup plates with new fin forward pickup plates, part
number (P/N) 11-03375-1. Do the replacement following the procedures
in section 2.C. of the ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS in Pacific
Aerospace Limited Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/068, Issue 5,
dated June

29, 2015. This replacement terminates the repetitive inspections
required in paragraph (f)(2) of this AD.
    (4) If no cracks are found during any inspection required in
paragraph (f)(2) of this AD, at or before reaching 6,000 hours TTIS
or within the next 600 hours TIS after December 15, 2015 (the
effective date of this AD), whichever occurs later, replace the fin
forward pickup plates, P/N 11-10281-1, with P/N 11-03375-1. Do the
replacement following the procedures in section 2.D. of the
ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS in Pacific Aerospace Limited Mandatory
Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/068, Issue 5, dated June 29, 2015. This
replacement terminates the repetitive inspections required in
paragraph (f)(2) of this AD .
