[Docket No. FAA-2017-1092; Airspace Docket No. 17-AWP-27]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Merced, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E surface airspace and Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Merced
Regional/Macready Field, Merced, CA, to accommodate airspace redesign
due to the decommissioning of the El Nido VHF Omnidirectional Range/
Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) as the FAA transitions from
ground-based to satellite-based navigation. This action also removes
Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface;
updates the airport name to match the FAA's aeronautical database; and
replaces the outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with Chart
Supplement. These actions are necessary for the safety and management
of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, January 3, 2019. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under Title 1,
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

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
amends Class E airspace at Merced Regional/Macready Field, Merced, CA,
to support IFR operations.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for Docket
FAA-2017-1092 in the Federal Register (83 FR 2574; January 18, 2018) to
modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Merced Regional/Macready Field, Merced, CA. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. Two comments
were received in support of the proposal. In their comment, AOPA stated
that the NPRM did not comply with FAA guidance in Order 7400.2,
Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters, because a graphic was not
included in the docket. Additionally, AOPA encouraged the FAA to follow
their guidance by making the action effective date concurrent with
publication of the VFR sectional chart publication date.
    The FAA has determined AOPA's comments raised no substantive issues
related to the proposed changes to the airspace addressed in the NPRM.
To the extent the FAA failed to follow its policies related to
publishing graphics in the docket and coincidental to the sectional
chart date, we note the following.
    The FAA provided graphics for this proposal on February 15, 2018.
Nevertheless, specific to AOPA's comment regarding the FAA already
creating a graphical depiction of new or modified airspace overlaid on
a Sectional Chart for quality assurance purposes, this is not correct
nor required in all cases. During the airspace reviews, airspace
graphics may be created, if deemed necessary, to determine if there are
terrain issues, or if cases are considered complex. However, in many
cases, a graphic is not required when developing an airspace proposal.
    With respect to AOPA's comment addressing effective dates, FAA
Order 7400.2L, para 2-3-7.a.4. states that, to the extent practicable,
airspace areas and restricted areas should become effective on a
sectional chart date and that consideration should be given to
selecting a sectional chart date that matches a 56-day en route chart
cycle date. The FAA does consider Class E airspace amendment effective
dates to coincide with the publication of sectional charts, to the
extent practicable; however, this consideration is accomplished after
the NPRM comment period ends in the Final Rule. Substantive comments
received to NPRMs, flight safety concerns, management of IFR operations
at affected airports, and immediacy of required proposed airspace
amendments are some of the factors that must be taken into
consideration when selecting the appropriate effective date. After
considering all factors, the FAA may determine that selecting an
effective date that conforms to a 56-day en route chart cycle date that
is not coincidental to sectional chart dates is better for the NAS and
its users rather than awaiting the next sectional chart date.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Merced Regional/Macready Field, Merced, CA, to within a
6.6-mile (increased from a 6.1-mile) radius of the airport, and removes
the segment extending southeast of the airport (2.6 miles southeast of
the El Nido VOR/DME) due to the decommissioning of the navigation aid.
    Also, this action remove the Class E airspace extending upward from
1,200 feet above the surface because it is wholly contained within the
Sacramento en route airspace area.

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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent
Extension; BRILINTA

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the
regulatory review period for BRILINTA and is publishing this notice of
that determination as required by law. FDA has made the determination
because of the submission of applications to the Director of Patents
and Trademarks, Department of Commerce, for the extension of a patent
which claims that human drug product.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug
and Patent Term Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide
that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as
the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical
device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory
review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a
product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the
amount of extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of Patents and
Trademarks may award (for example, half the testing phase must be
subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the patent
was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a regulatory review
period for a human drug product will include all of the testing phase
and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA has approved for marketing the human drug product BRILINTA
(ticagrelor). BRILINTA is indicated to reduce the rate of thrombotic
cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Subsequent to this approval, the Patent and Trademark Office received
patent term restoration applications for BRILINTA (U.S. Patent Nos.
6,525,060; 6,251,910; 7,250,419; and 7,265,124) from AstraZeneca UK
Limited, and the Patent and Trademark Office requested FDA's assistance
in determining this patent's eligibility for patent term restoration.
In a letter dated

August 7, 2012, FDA advised the Patent and Trademark Office that this
human drug product had undergone a regulatory review period and that
the approval of BRILINTA represented the first permitted commercial
marketing or use of the product. Thereafter, the Patent and Trademark
Office requested that FDA determine the product's regulatory review
period.
    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
BRILINTA is 2,976 days. Of this time, 2,364 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 612 days occurred
during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became
effective: May 29, 2003. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that
the date the investigational new drug application became effective was
on May 29, 2003.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human drug product under section 505(b) of the FD&C Act: November
16, 2009. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the new drug
application (NDA) for BRILINTA (NDA 22-433) was submitted on November
16, 2009.
    3. The date the application was approved: July 20, 2011. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that NDA 22-433 was approved on July 20,
2011.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the Patent and
Trademark Office applies several statutory limitations in its
calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its
applications for patent extension, this applicant seeks 1,014 days,
1,032 days, or 1,794 days of patent term extension.
    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments and ask for a
redetermination by June 30, 2014. Furthermore, any interested person
may petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant
for extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review
period by October 27, 2014. To meet its burden, the petition must
contain sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept.
857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should
be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) electronic or written comments and written or
electronic petitions. It is only necessary to send one set of comments.
Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the
heading of this document. If you submit a written petition, two copies
are required. A petition submitted electronically must be submitted to
http://www.regulations.gov, Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610.

on http://www.regulations.gov may be viewed in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus Helicopters
Model MBB BK 117 D 2 helicopters. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on August 27, 2018 (83 FR 43559). The NPRM was prompted by
reports of unintended lifting of several flip guards. The NPRM proposed
to require replacing the flip guard with flip guard part number (P/N)
79553511 on the collective lever switch unit.
    We are issuing this AD to address unintended lifting of a flip
guard. This condition could result in inadvertent cutting of the rescue
hoist cable and subsequent personal injury.
    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, issued EASA AD No. 2017-0038, dated February 22, 2017
(EASA AD No. 2017-0038), to correct an unsafe condition for certain
Airbus Helicopters Models MBB-BK 117 D-2 and MBB-BK 117 D-2m
helicopters. EASA advises that multiple events were reported of
unintended lifting of the flip guard and that the flip guard has two
stable positions, open and closed. EASA AD No. 2017-0038 states that if
the unintended lifting is not detected, the requirement for dual action
when activating the rescue hoist cable cut is not guaranteed. According
to EASA, this condition, if not corrected, could result in inadvertent
cutting of the rescue hoist cable and subsequent personal injury.
    EASA further advises that Airbus Helicopters has developed an
improved mono-stable (closed) flip guard, and EASA AD No. 2017-0038
requires installing the new flip guard and re-identifying the
collective lever switch unit.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule, but we did not receive any comments on the NPRM.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement
with the European Union, EASA has notified us of the unsafe condition
described in the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated
all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these
same type designs and that air safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD applies to Airbus Helicopters Model MBB-BK 117 D-2m
helicopters, whereas this AD does not since these models are not type
certificated in the U.S. Also, the EASA AD requires compliance within
440 hours time in service (TIS), however, this AD requires compliance
before the next hoist operation or within 440 hours TIS, whichever
occurs first. Finally, the EASA AD requires identifying the collective
lever switch unit with the service information number; this AD does
not.

Related Service Information

    Airbus Helicopters has issued Alert Service Bulletin No. MBB-BK117
D-2-67A-002, Revision 0, dated January 23, 2017. This service
information contains procedures for replacing flip guard P/N 79552176
with improved flip guard P/N 79553511 and for identifying the
collective lever switch unit with the alert service bulletin number.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 21 helicopters of U.S. Registry.
At an average labor rate of $85 per hour, we estimate that operators
may incur the following costs in order to comply with this AD.
    Replacing the flip guard requires about 14 hours, and required
parts cost $735, for a cost per helicopter of $1,925 and a cost of
$40,425 to the U.S. fleet.
    According to Airbus Helicopter's service information, some of the
costs of this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected individuals. We do not control warranty
coverage by Airbus Helicopters. Accordingly, we have included all costs
in our cost estimate.

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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),

    (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.
