DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2006-24647]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on September 3, 2021, the
Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum (HVRM) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained
at 49 CFR part 219, Control of Alcohol and Drug Use. The relevant FRA
Docket Number is FRA-2006-24647.
    Specifically, HVRM requests an extension of existing relief from 49
CFR part 219, subpart E, Reasonable Cause Testing; subpart G, Random
Alcohol and Drug Testing Programs; and subpart K, Referral Programs.\1\
HVRM is a volunteer-operated, non-profit operating railroad museum,
located in North

Judson, Indiana. HVRM requests this extension due to its limited
weekend operating schedule and Chesapeake & Indiana Railroad's (CKIN)
weekday schedule. On those few occasions each year where local
communities have festivals, HVRM and CKIN maintain communication
regarding HVRM's operation times.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ By rule dated June 10, 2016 (81 FR 37894), portions of 49
CFR part 219 were revised, which slightly changes the regulations
from which HVRM now seeks relief versus relief sought in the past.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
    Communications received by November 18, 2021 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic
form of any written communications and comments received into any of
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or
signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to
better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit,
including any personal information the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records notice (DOT/
ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/privacy. See also https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice for the

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-332, OMB Control No. 3235-0378]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form F-8

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

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the

Office of Management and Budget this request for extension of the
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form F-8 (17 CFR 239.38) may be used to register securities of
certain Canadian issuers under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C.
77a et seq.) that will be used in an exchange offer or business
combination. The information collected is intended to ensure that the
information required to be filed by the Commission permits verification
of compliance with securities law requirements and assures the public
availability of such information. The information provided is mandatory
and all information is made available to the public upon request. We
estimate that Form F-8 takes approximately one hour per response to
prepare and is filed by approximately 5 respondents. We estimate that
25% of one hour per response (15 minutes) is prepared by the company
for a total annual reporting burden of one hour (15 minutes/60 minutes
per response x 5 responses = 1.25 hours rounded to nearest whole
number).
    An agency may conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
by September 21, 2022 to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Accreditation of Third-Party Certification Bodies To Conduct Food
Safety Audits and To Issue Certifications--21 CFR Part 1; Subpart M

OMB Control Number 0910-0750--Extension

    FDA provides for accreditation of third-party certification bodies
(CBs) to conduct food safety audits of eligible foreign food
facilities, and issue food and facility certifications, pursuant to the
FDA Food Safety Modernization Act. In accordance with 21 CFR part
1.600, Subpart M, FDA uses certifications issued by accredited third-
party auditors/CBs in deciding whether to admit certain imported food
into the United States that FDA has determined poses a food safety risk
and in deciding whether an importer is eligible to participate in a
program for expedited review and entry of food imports. Except for
limited circumstances in which we may directly accredit CBs to
participate in the accredited third-party audits and certification
program, we will recognize accreditation bodies (ABs) to accredit
third-party auditors/CBs. Use of accredited third-party CBs and food
and facility certifications has helped us prevent potentially harmful
food from reaching U.S. consumers and thereby improve the safety of the
U.S. food supply. This collection of

information increases efficiency by reducing the number of redundant
audits to assess compliance with applicable food safety requirements of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and FDA
regulations.
    We estimate that there are about 200,000 foreign food and feed
exporters that offer their food and feed for import into the United
States. These foreign food and feed exporters include approximately
130,000 food and feed production facilities and approximately 71,000
farms. A proportion of these foreign food and feed exporters may offer
food subject to mandatory certification requirements under section
801(q) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 381(q)(3)). In that case, the
eligible entities must either comply with this collection of
information to obtain certification from a CB accredited under the
third-party program to continue exporting their food products into the
United States, or a foreign government designated by FDA, or lose their
access to U.S. markets. We assume that in any given year, 75 foreign
food and feed exporters will be subject to section 801(q) of the FD&C
Act.
    We estimate that 25 ABs will accredit CBs that will conduct food
safety audits of foreign eligible entities that offer food or feed for
import to the United States. We also estimate that approximately 207
CBs accredited by the 25 AB applicants will comply with the collection
of information to participate in the program. In addition, we expect
that one CB will apply and participate in the third-party program via
direct accreditation by FDA under this collection of information.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

    The total annual recordkeeping burden by 25 recognized ABs and 208
CBs accredited under the third-party program is estimated at 6,253
hours (see table 1). We assume that all ABs that apply for recognition
in the program become recognized and all CBs that apply for
accreditation are accredited. The total annual reporting burden by 25
recognized ABs and 208 CBs accredited under the program is estimated at
7,919 hours (see table 2).
    We have adjusted our burden estimate since last OMB approval of the
information collection to reflect the removal of burden associated with
one-time recordkeeping activities resulting from the implementation of
new provisions. This results in an overall decrease of 60,650 annual
burden hours.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[CGD09-07-119]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Schoenith Family Foundation Fireworks, Detroit
River, Detroit, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
Detroit River, Detroit, MI. This safety zone is intended to restrict
vessels from a portion of the Detroit River during the September 23,
2007 Schoenith Family Foundation Fireworks display. This temporary
safety zone is necessary to protect spectators and vessels from the
hazards associated with fireworks displays.

DATES: This rule is effective from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on September 23,
2007.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in
the docket, are parts of docket CGD09-07-119 and are available for
inspection or copying at U.S. Coast Guard Sector Detroit, 110 Mt.
Elliot Ave., Detroit, MI 48207 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LT Jeff Ahlgren, Waterways Management,
U.S. Coast Guard Sector Detroit, 110 Mount Elliot Ave., Detroit MI
48207;<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. The permit application was not
received in time to publish an NPRM followed by a final rule before the
effective date. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good cause exists for making
this rule effective fewer than 30 days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying this rule would be contrary to the public interest
of ensuring the safety of spectators and vessels during this event and
immediate action is necessary to prevent possible loss of life or
property. This temporary safety zone should have minimal negative
impact on the public and navigation because it will be enforced for
only a one and one half hour period on one day. In addition, the area
restricted by the safety zone is minimal, allowing vessels to transit
around the safety zone to pass.

Background and Purpose

    This temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels and spectators from hazards associated with a fireworks
display. Based on accidents that have occurred in other Captain of the
Port zones, and the explosive hazards of fireworks, the Captain of the
Port Detroit has determined that fireworks launches proximate to
watercraft pose a significant risk to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of recreation vessels, congested
waterways, darkness punctuated by bright flashes of light, alcohol use,
and debris falling into the water could easily result in serious
injuries or fatalities. Establishing a safety zone to control vessel
movement around the location of the launch platform will help ensure
the safety of persons and property at these events and help minimize
the associated risks.

Discussion of Rule

    A temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
spectators and vessels during the setup, loading and launching of a
fireworks display in conjunction with the Schoenith Family Foundation
Fireworks. The fireworks display will occur between 8 p.m. and 8:30
p.m. on September 23, 2007.

    The safety zone for the fireworks will encompass all waters of the
Detroit River within a 210' radius of the fireworks launch site located
at position 42[deg]21.2[min] N; 82[deg]58.4[min] W. (DATUM: NAD 83).
    All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port or the on-scene representative. Entry
into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Detroit or his on-scene
representative. The Captain of the Port or his on-scene representative
may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does
not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    This determination is based on the minimal time that vessels will
be restricted from the zone and the zone is an area where the Coast
Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners from the zones'
activation.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in a portion of the Detroit River near Detroit, MI
between 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. on September 23, 2007.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will be in effect for only one and one half hours for one event;
vessel traffic can safely pass outside the safety zone during the
event; and in the event that this temporary safety zone affects
shipping, commercial vessels may request permission from the Captain of
the Port Detroit to transit through the safety zone. The Coast Guard
will give notice to the public via a Broadcast to Mariners that the
regulation is in effect.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offered to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they could better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. Small
businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who
enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and
the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman
evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness
to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of
the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard
will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this rule would not result in such expenditure, we do
discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not concern an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    The Coast Guard recognizes the treaty rights of Native American
Tribes. Moreover, the Coast Guard is committed to working with Tribal
Governments to implement local policies and to mitigate tribal
concerns. We have determined that these regulations and fishing rights
protection need not be incompatible. We have also determined that this
Rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175,
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because
it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian
tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Nevertheless, Indian Tribes
that have questions concerning the provisions of this rule or options
for compliance are encouraged to contact the point of contact listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedure; and related management
system practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD
and Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 5100.1, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that there are no factors in this case that would limit the use of a
categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the Instruction.
Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction, from further environmental
documentation.
    A final ``Environmental Analysis Check List'' and ``Categorical
Exclusion Determination'' are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1088; Directorate Identifier 2008-NE-15-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Dowty Propellers

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to revise airworthiness directive (AD) 2008-21-07
that applies to certain Dowty Propellers model R408/6-123-F/17
propellers. AD 2008-21-07 requires initial and repetitive inspections
of the blade bonded metallic leading edge (L/E) guards for correct
bonding until they accumulate more than 1,200 flight hours (FH) time in
service. Since we issued AD 2008-21-07, Dowty Propellers has introduced
updated service bulletins that identify terminating action to the
requirements of AD 2008-21-07. This proposed AD would maintain the
inspection and replacement requirements of AD 2008-21-07, provide an
optional terminating action to those requirements, and add a new part
number to the list of affected parts. We are proposing this AD to
prevent the loss of the bonded metallic L/E guard of the propeller,
which could result in damage to the propeller or to the airplane, or
injury to personnel.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 24,
2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    On October 3, 2008, we issued AD 2008-21-07, Amendment 39-15691 (73
FR 61346, October 16, 2008), (``AD 2008-21-07''), for all Dowty
Propellers model R408/6-123-F/17 propellers. AD 2008-21-07 requires
initial and repetitive inspections of the blade bonded metallic L/E
guards for correct bonding until they accumulate more than 1,200 FH
time in service. AD 2008-21-07 resulted from three in-service
occurrences of blades losing the bonded metallic L/E guard. We issued
AD 2008-21-07 to prevent the loss of the bonded metallic L/E guard of
the propeller, which could result in damage to the propeller or to the
airplane, or injury to personnel.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2008-21-07, Dowty Propellers has introduced
updated service bulletins that identify terminating action to the
repetitive inspection requirements of AD 2008-21-07. Dowty has also
informed us of the need to add blade part number 697071278-18 to the
list of affected parts. Also since we issued AD 2008-21-07, the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued AD 2007-0223R4, dated
September 30, 2013, which requires repetitive inspections of the
affected propellers and clarifies terminating action.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Dowty Propellers Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No.
D8400-61-A69, Revision 1, dated September 18, 2007. The ASB describes
procedures for initial and repetitive inspections of blade bonded
metallic L/E guards, and repair or replacement of blades that fail
inspection. We also reviewed Service Bulletin (SB) No. D8400-61-70,
Revision 3, dated June 3, 2013, and SB No. D8400-61-83, Revision 4,
dated June 3, 2013, which provide optional terminating action for the
repetitive inspection requirement of this proposed AD.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would maintain the initial and repetitive
inspections of the propeller blade bonded metallic L/E guards required
by AD 2008-21-07 (73 FR 61346, October 16, 2008). This proposed AD
would also provide an

optional terminating action to the repetitive inspection requirements
of AD 2008-21-07, and would add a new part number to the list of
affected parts.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 174 propellers
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would
take about 4 hours per propeller to comply with this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per hour. Required parts cost about $352 per
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost of this
proposed AD to U.S. operators is $120,408.

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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe
condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in
this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this 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 that the 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 to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, 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:

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 removing airworthiness directive (AD)
2008-21-07, Amendment 39-15691 (73 FR 61346, October 16, 2008), and
adding the following new AD:

Dowty Propellers (formerly Dowty Aerospace Propellers): Docket No.
FAA-2008-1088; Directorate Identifier 2008-NE-15-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by February 24,
2014.

(b) Affected Ads

    This AD revises AD 2008-21-07, Amendment 39-15691 (73 FR 61346,
October 16, 2008).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Dowty Propellers model R408/6-123-F/17
propellers with blades, part numbers 697071200-18, 697071210-18,
697071227-18, 697071240-18, 697071245-18, 697071257-18, or
697071278-18, installed.

(d) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by three in-service occurrences of blades
losing the bonded metallic leading edge (L/E) guard. We are issuing
this AD to prevent the loss of the bonded metallic L/E guard of the
propeller, which could result in damage to the propeller or to the
airplane, or injury to personnel.

(e) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
    (1) Within the next 50 flight hours (FH) or within 30 days after
the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, inspect all
affected blade assemblies where the bonded metallic L/E guard has
accumulated 1,200 FH time in service or less since installation, in
accordance with the instructions of Dowty Propellers Alert Service
Bulletin (ASB) No. D8400-61-A69, Revision 1, dated September 18,
2007.
    (2) Within 50 FH or 30 days, whichever occurs first, after
installing a replacement blade, inspect the affected blade assembly
where the bonded metallic L/E guard has accumulated 1,200 FH time in
service or less since installation, in accordance with the
instructions of Dowty Propellers ASB No. D8400-61-A69, Revision 1,
dated September 18, 2007.
    (3) Thereafter, at intervals not to exceed 100 FH, repeat the
inspection of the affected blade assemblies in accordance with the
instructions of Dowty Propellers ASB No. D8400-61-A69, Revision 1,
dated September 18, 2007, until the blade bonded metallic L/E guard
has accumulated more than 1,200 FH time in service since
installation.
    (4) If, during any of the inspections required by this AD,
disbonding is found, apply the criteria in Appendix A of Dowty
Propellers ASB No. D8400-61-A69, Revision 1, dated September 18,
2007 and, within the associated time period, repair or replace the
affected blade assembly in accordance with Dowty Propellers ASB No.
D8400-61-A69, Revision 1, dated September 18, 2007.
    (5) Blades that were repaired within the first 101.6 mm (4.0
inches) of the tip of the blade as specified in Appendix D of Dowty
Propellers ASB No. D8400-61-A69, Revision 1, dated September 18,
2007, are eligible to continue in service for another 500 FH after
accomplishment of the repair. Repair does not terminate the
repetitive inspection requirements of paragraph (e)(3) of this AD.

(f) Optional Terminating Action

    As optional terminating action to the repetitive inspection
requirements of paragraph (e)(3) of this AD, modify the affected
propeller using Dowty Propellers Service Bulletin (SB) No. D8400-61-
70, Revision 3, dated June 3, 2013, or SB No. D8400-61-83, Revision
4, dated June 3, 2013, as applicable.

(g) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    The Manager, Boston Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, may

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
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 amend Class C airspace and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Evansville Regional Airport,
Evansville, IN.

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 and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2016-9540/
Airspace Docket No. 16-AGL-27.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,

air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface to within a 7.1-mile
radius of the airport (from a 6.8-mile radius) at Evansville Regional
Airport, Evansville, IN.
    The 4.4-mile wide segment (2.2. miles from each side of the 001
degree bearing from the airport) extending from the 6.8-mile radius of
the airport would be modified to a 4-mile wide segment extending from
the proposed 7.1-mile radius of the airport to 11.6 miles north (from
11.2 miles).
    The 4.4-mile wide segment (2.2 miles from each side of the 181
degree bearing from the airport) extending from the 6.8-mile radius of
the airport to 11.3 miles south of the airport would be removed due to
the decommissioning of the Evansville NDB.
    The Pocket City VORTAC navigation aid segment would be amended to
within a 7.1-mile radius (from a 6.8-mile radius) of the airport to the
VORTAC.
    This proposal also would update the geographic coordinates of the
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database, as well as
updating the coordinates of Skylane Airport listed under Evansville
Regional Airport in Class C airspace.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the cancellation and
decommissioning of the non-directional radio beacon (NDB) and NDB
approaches which would enhance the safety and management of the
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the
airport.
    Class C and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 4000
and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in
14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would 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.
