SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 In the Matter of Royale Globe Holding Inc., File No. 500-1;
Order of Suspension of Trading

April 8, 2016.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
Royale Globe Holding Inc. because of questions regarding the accuracy
of publicly available information about the company's operations and
securities ownership, including details about its affiliation with
Maxim Capital Limited, a purported investment company operating under
the name Maxim Trader. Royale Globe Holding Inc. is delinquent in its
periodic filings with the Commission, having not filed any periodic
reports since it filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended July 31,
2015. Royale Globe Holding Inc. (CIK No.<PHONE_NUMBER>), is a Nevada
corporation with its principal place of business listed as Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia with stock quoted on OTC Link (previously, ``Pink
Sheets'') operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the ticker symbol
ROGP.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT,
April 8, 2016, through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on April 21, 2016.

    By the Commission.
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.

Spring, MD 20993-0002<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

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.

Applications for FDA Approval To Market a New Drug: Patent Submission
and Listing Requirements and Application of 30-month Stays on Approval
of Abbreviated New Drug Applications Certifying That a Patent Claiming
a Drug Is Invalid or Will Not Be Infringed--OMB Control Number 0910-
0513--Extension

    Section 505(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(b)(1)) requires all NDA applicants to file, as
part of the NDA, ``the patent number and the expiration date of any
patent which claims the drug for which the applicant submitted the
application or which claims a method of using such drug and with
respect to which a claim of patent infringement could reasonably be
asserted if a person not licensed by the owner engaged in the
manufacture, use, or sale of the drug.'' Section 505(c)(2) of the FD&C
Act (21 U.S.C. 355(c)(2)) imposes a similar patent submission
obligation on holders of approved NDAs when the NDA holder could not
have submitted the patent information with its application. Under Sec.
505(b)(1) of the FD&C Act, we publish patent information after approval
of an NDA application in the list entitled ``Approved Drug Products
with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations'' (the Orange Book). If patent
information is submitted after NDA approval, Sec.  505(c)(2) of the
FD&C Act directs us to publish the information upon its submission.
    FDA regulations at Sec. Sec.  314.50(h) (21 CFR 314.50(h)) and
314.53 (21 CFR 314.53) clarify the types of patent information that
must and must not be submitted to FDA as part of an NDA, an amendment,
or a supplement, and require persons submitting an NDA, an amendment,
or a supplement, or submitting information on a patent after NDA
approval, to make a detailed patent declaration using Form FDA 3542a
and Form FDA 3542.
    The reporting burden for submitting an NDA, an amendment, or
supplement in accordance with Sec.  314.50 (a) through (f), and (k) has
been estimated by FDA and the collection of information has been
approved by OMB under OMB control number 0910-0001. We are not re-
estimating these approved burdens in this document. Only the reporting
burdens associated with patent submission and listing, as explained
below, are estimated in this document.
    The information collection reporting requirements are as follows:
    Section 314.50(h) requires that an NDA, an amendment, or a
supplement contain patent information described under Sec.  314.53.
    Section 314.53 requires that an applicant submitting an NDA, an
amendment, or a supplement, except as provided in Sec.  314.53(d)(2),
submit on Forms 3542 and 3542a, the required patent information
described in this section.
    Compliance with the information collection burdens under Sec. Sec.
314.50(h) and 314.53 consists of submitting with an NDA, an amendment,
or a supplement (collectively referred to as ``application'') the
required patent declaration(s) on Form 3542a for each ``patent that
claims the drug or a method of using the drug that is the subject of
the new drug application or amendment or supplement to it and with
respect to which a claim of patent infringement could reasonably be
asserted if a person not licensed by the owner of the patent engaged in
the manufacture, use, or sale of the drug product'' (Sec.  314.53(b)).
Such patents claim the drug substance (active ingredient), drug product
(formulation and composition), or method of use. If a patent is issued
after the application is filed with FDA, but before the application is
approved, the applicant must submit the required patent information on
Form 3542a as an amendment to the application, within 30 days of the
date of issuance of the patent.
    Within 30 days after the date of approval of an application, the
applicant must submit Form 3542 for each patent that claims the drug
substance (active ingredient), drug product (formulation and
composition), or approved method of use for listing in the Orange Book.
In addition, for patents issued after the date of approval of an
application, Form 3542 must be submitted within 30 days of the date of
issuance of the patent.
    FDA requests OMB approval for the following information collection:

\1\ There are no capital costs, operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    The numbers of patents submitted to FDA for listing in the Orange
Book in 2012, 2013, and 2014 were 458, 509, and 617, respectively, for
an annual average of 528 (458 patents + 509 patents + 617 patents)/3
years = 528 patents/year). Because many of these individual patents are
included in multiple NDA submissions, there could be multiple
declarations for a single patent. From our previous review of
submissions, we believe that approximately 14 percent of the patents
submitted are included in multiple NDA submissions, and thus require
multiple patent declarations. Therefore, we estimate that 74 (528
patents x 14 percent) patents will be multiple listings, and there will
be a total of 602 patents (528 patents + 74 patents = 602 patents)
declared on Form FDA 3542. We approved 86, 94, and 107 NDAs in calendar
years 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, of which we estimate based on
our previous review that approximately 71 percent submitted patent
information for listing in the Orange Book. The remaining NDAs
submitted Form FDA 3542 as required and declared that there were no
relevant patents. We also approved approximately 101, 101, and 110 NDA
supplements in FYs 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, for which
submission of a patent declaration would be required. We estimate there
will be 200 instances (based on an average of 96 NDA approvals and 104
supplement approvals per year) where an NDA holder would be affected by
the patent declaration requirements, and that each of these NDA holders
would, on average, submit 3.4 declarations (602 patent declarations +
74 no relevant patent declarations)/200 instances = 3.4 declarations
per instance) on Form FDA 3542. We filed 112, 116, and 113 NDAs in
2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, and 112, 112, 156 NDA supplements
in 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, for which submission of a patent
declaration would be required. We estimate there will be 241 instances
(based on an average of 114 NDAs filed and 127 NDA supplements filed
per year) where an NDA holder would be affected by the patent
declaration requirements. We estimate, based on a proportional increase
from the number of declarations for approved NDAs, that there will be
an annual total of 819 declarations (241 instances x 3.4 declarations
per instance = 819 declarations) on Form FDA 3542a submitted with these
applications. Based upon information provided by regulated entities and
other information, we previously estimated that the information
collection burden associated with Sec.  314.50(h) (citing Sec.  314.53)
and Forms FDA 3542 and 3542a will be approximately 5 hours and 20 hours
per response, respectively.

    EPA has concluded that the emissions inventories provided by the
state are complete and as accurate as possible given the input data
available for the relevant source categories. EPA also believes that
these inventories provide information about VOC and ammonia as
PM2.5 precursors in the context of evaluating redesignation
of the Cleveland area under subpart 4. Therefore, we are proposing to
approve the 2007/2008 ammonia and VOC emissions inventories submitted
by the state, in conjunction with the 2005 and 2008 NOX,
direct PM2.5, and SO2 emissions inventories, as
fully meeting the comprehensive inventory requirement of section
172(c)(3) of the CAA for the Cleveland area for the 1997 annual and
2006 24-hour PM2.5 standards.

C. Ohio's MVEBs

1. How are MVEBs developed?
    Under the CAA, states are required to submit, at various times,
control strategy SIP revisions and maintenance plans for
PM2.5 nonattainment areas and for areas seeking
redesignations to attainment of the PM2.5 standard. These
emission control strategy SIP revisions (e.g., RFP and attainment
demonstration SIP revisions) and maintenance plans create MVEBs based
on onroad mobile source emissions for criteria pollutants and/or their
precursors to address pollution from onroad transportation sources. The
MVEBs are the portions of the total allowable emissions that are
allocated to highway and transit vehicle use that, together with
emissions from other sources in the area, will provide for attainment,
RFP or maintenance, as applicable.
    Under 40 CFR part 93, a MVEB for an area seeking a redesignation to
attainment is established for the last year of the maintenance plan.
The MVEB serves as a ceiling on emissions from an area's planned
transportation system. The MVEB concept is further explained in the
preamble to the November 24, 1993, transportation conformity rule (58
FR 62188).
    Under section 176(c) of the CAA, transportation plans and
transportation improvement programs (TIPs) must be evaluated to
determine if they conform with the area's SIP. Conformity to the SIP
means that transportation activities will not cause new air quality
violations, worsen existing air quality violations, or delay timely
attainment of the NAAQS or any required interim milestone. If a
transportation plan or TIP does not conform, most new transportation
projects that would expand the capacity of roadways cannot go forward.
Regulations at 40 CFR part 93 set forth EPA policy, criteria, and
procedures for demonstrating and assuring conformity of such
transportation activities to a SIP.
    When reviewing SIP revisions containing MVEBs, including attainment
strategies, rate-of-progress plans, and maintenance plans, EPA must
affirmatively find ``adequate'' or approve for use in determining
transportation conformity before the MVEBs can be used. Once EPA
affirmatively approves or finds the submitted MVEBs to be adequate for
transportation conformity purposes, the MVEBs must be used by state and
Federal agencies in determining whether transportation plans and TIPs
conform to the SIP as required by section 176(c) of the CAA. EPA's
substantive criteria for determining the adequacy of MVEBs are set out
in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). Additionally, to approve a motor vehicle
emissions budget EPA must complete a thorough review of the SIP, in
this case the PM2.5 maintenance plan, and conclude that the
SIP will achieve its overall purpose, in this case providing for
maintenance of the 1997 annual PM2.5 standard.
    EPA's process for determining adequacy of a MVEB consists of three
basic steps: (1) Providing public notification of a SIP submission; (2)
providing the public the opportunity to comment on the MVEB during a
public comment period; and, (3) EPA taking action on the MVEB. The
process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP MVEBs is codified
at 40 CFR 93.118.
2. What is a safety margin?
    A ``safety margin'' is the difference between the attainment level
of emissions (from all sources) and the projected level of emissions
(from all sources) in the maintenance plan. As shown in Table 6,
NOX emissions in the Cleveland area are projected to have
safety margins of 50,795 tpy and 75,893 tpy in 2015 and 2022,
respectively (the difference between the attainment year, 2008,
emissions and the projected 2015 and 2022 emissions for all sources in
the Cleveland area). Table 7 shows direct PM2.5 emissions in
the Cleveland area are projected to have safety margins of 1,737 tpy
and 2,512 tpy in 2015 and 2022, respectively. Even if emissions reached
the full level of the safety margin, the area would still demonstrate
maintenance since emission levels would equal those in the attainment
year.
    The transportation conformity rule allows areas to allocate all or
a portion of a ``safety margin'' to the area's motor vehicle emissions
budgets. (40 CFR 93.124(a))
3. What are the MVEBs for the Cleveland area?
    The maintenance plans submitted by Ohio for the Cleveland area
contain primary PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs for the area
for the years 2015 and 2022. Ohio EPA has determined the 2015 MVEBs for
the Cleveland area to be 1,371.35 tpy

for primary PM2.5 and 35,094.70 tpy for NOX. Ohio
EPA has determined the 2022 MVEBs for the Cleveland area to be 880.89
tpy for primary PM2.5 and 17,263.65 tpy for NOX.
Ohio EPA allocated 178.87 tpy and 4,477.57 tpy to the 2015 primary
PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs, respectively, to provide for
mobile source growth. Similarly, Ohio EPA allocated 114.90 tpy and
2,251.78 tpy to the 2022 primary PM2.5 and NOX
MVEBs, respectively.
    The transportation conformity rule allows areas to allocate all or
a portion of a ``safety margin'' to the area's motor vehicle emissions
budgets. (40 CFR 93.124(a)) The state is not requesting allocation to
the MVEBs of the entire available safety margins reflected in the
demonstration of maintenance. Therefore, even though the state has
submitted MVEBs that exceed the projected onroad mobile source
emissions for 2015 and 2022 contained in the demonstration of
maintenance, the increase in onroad mobile source emissions that can be
considered for transportation conformity purposes is well within the
safety margins of the PM2.5 maintenance demonstration.
Further, once allocated to mobile sources, these safety margins will
not be available for use by other sources.
    Ohio did not provide emission budgets for SO2, VOCs, and
ammonia because it concluded, consistent with the presumptions
regarding these precursors in the conformity rule at 40 CFR
93.102(b)(2)(v), which predated and was not disturbed by the litigation
on the PM2.5 implementation rule, that emissions of these
precursors from motor vehicles are not significant contributors to the
area's PM2.5 air quality problem.
    EPA issued conformity regulations to implement the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS in July 2004 and May 2005 (69 FR 40004, July 1,
2004 and 70 FR 24280, May 6, 2005, respectively). Those actions were
not part of the final rule recently remanded to EPA by the Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia in NRDC v. EPA, No. 08-1250 (Jan.
4, 2013), in which the Court remanded to EPA the implementation rule
for the PM2.5 NAAQS because it concluded that EPA must
implement that NAAQS pursuant to the PM-specific implementation
provisions of subpart 4 of part D of title I of the CAA, rather than
solely under the general provisions of subpart 1. That decision does
not affect EPA's proposed approval of the Cleveland area MVEBs.
    First, as noted above, EPA's conformity rule implementing the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS was a separate action from the overall
PM2.5 implementation rule addressed by the Court and was not
considered or disturbed by the decision. Therefore, the conformity
regulations were not at issue in NRDC v. EPA.\13\ In addition, as
discussed in section III.B., the Cleveland area is attaining the 1997
annual and 2006 24-hour standards for PM2.5 with 2010-2012
design values of 13.0 [mu]g/m\3\ and 30 [mu]g/m\3\, respectively, which
are well below the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS of 15 [mu]g/m\3\
and the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS of 35 [mu]g/m\3\. The
modeling analysis conducted for the RIA for the 2012 PM NAAQS indicates
that the design value for this area is expected to continue to decline
through 2020. Further, the state's maintenance plan shows continued
maintenance through 2022 by demonstrating that NOX,
SO2, and direct PM2.5 emissions continue to
decrease through the maintenance period. For VOC and ammonia, RIA
inventories for 2007 and 2020 show that both onroad and total emissions
for these pollutants are expected to decrease, supporting the state's
conclusion, consistent with the presumptions regarding these precursors
in the conformity rule, that emissions of these precursors from motor
vehicles are not significant contributors to the area's
PM2.5 air quality problem and the MVEBs for these precursors
are unnecessary. With regard to SO2, the 2005 final
conformity rule (70 FR 24280) based its presumption concerning onroad
SO2 motor vehicle emissions budgets on emissions inventories
that show that SO2 emissions from onroad sources constitute
a ``de minimis'' portion of total SO2 emissions. As can be
seen from the data presented in Table 8, onroad emissions in 2022 are
less than 0.3% of total SO2 emissions in the area. In
addition, onroad SO2 emissions decrease throughout the
maintenance period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The 2004 rulemaking addressed most of the transportation
conformity requirements that apply in PM2.5 nonattainment
and maintenance areas. The 2005 conformity rule included provisions
addressing treatment of PM2.5 precursors in MVEBs. See 40
CFR 93.102(b)(2). While none of these provisions were challenged in
the NRDC case, EPA also notes that the Court declined to address
challenges to EPA's presumptions regarding PM2.5
precursors in the PM2.5 implementation rule. NRDC v. EPA,

    The availability of the SIP submissions with these 2015 and 2022
MVEBs was announced for public comment on EPA's Adequacy Web site on
October 6, 2011, for the 1997 annual PM2.5 standard and
August 9, 2012, for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standard, at:
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/currsips.htm. The EPA
public comment periods on adequacy of the 2015 and 2022 MVEBs for the
Cleveland area closed on November 7, 2011, and September 10, 2012, for
the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standards,
respectively. No adverse comments on the submittals were received
during the adequacy comment period.
    EPA has reviewed the submitted budgets for 2015 and 2022, including
the added safety margins using the conformity rule's adequacy criteria
found at 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4) and the conformity rule's requirements for
safety margins found at 40 CFR 93.124(a). EPA has determined that the
area can maintain attainment of the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS for the relevant maintenance period with onroad
mobile source emissions at the levels of the MVEBs since total
emissions will still remain under attainment year emission levels. EPA
is therefore finding adequate and proposing to approve the MVEBs
submitted by Ohio EPA for use in determining transportation conformity
in the Cleveland area.

V. Summary of Proposed Actions

    EPA is proposing to determine that the Cleveland area is attaining
the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standards and that
the area has met the requirements for redesignation under section
107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA. EPA is thus proposing to approve the requests
from Ohio EPA to change the legal designations of the Cleveland area
from nonattainment to attainment for the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 standards. EPA is proposing to approve Ohio's
PM2.5 maintenance plans for the Cleveland area as revisions
to the Ohio SIP because the plans meet the requirements of section 175A
of the CAA. EPA is proposing to approve 2005 and 2008 emissions
inventories for primary PM2.5, NOX, and
SO2, and 2007/2008 emissions inventories for VOC and ammonia
as satisfying the requirement in section 172(c)(3) of the CAA for a
comprehensive, current emission inventory. Finally, EPA finds adequate
and is proposing to approve 2015 and 2022 primary PM2.5 and
NOX MVEBs for the Cleveland area. These MVEBs will be used
in future transportation conformity analyses for the area.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, redesignation of an area to attainment and the
accompanying approval of a maintenance plan under section 107(d)(3)(E)
are actions that affect the status of a geographical area and do not
impose any additional regulatory requirements on sources beyond those

imposed by state law. A redesignation to attainment does not in and of
itself create any new requirements, but rather results in the
applicability of requirements contained in the CAA for areas that have
been redesignated to attainment. Moreover, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions
of the CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40
CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to
approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA.
Accordingly, these proposed actions do not impose additional
requirements beyond those imposed by state law and the CAA. For that
reason, these proposed actions:
     Are not ``significant regulatory actions'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     do not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     are certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     do not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     do not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     are not economically significant regulatory actions based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     are not significant regulatory actions subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     are not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     do not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications
as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because a determination of attainment is an action that affects the
status of a geographical area and does not impose any new regulatory
requirements on tribes, impact any existing sources of air pollution on
tribal lands, nor impair the maintenance of ozone national ambient air
quality standards in tribal lands.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-16-01 for
certain The Boeing Company Model airplanes. AD 2015-16-01 required
incorporating design changes to improve the reliability of the cabin
altitude warning system by installing a redundant cabin altitude
pressure switch, replacing the aural warning module (AWM) with a new or
reworked AWM, and changing certain wire bundles or connecting certain
previously capped and stowed wires as necessary. For certain airplanes,
AD 2015-16-01 also required prior or concurrent incorporation of
related design changes by modifying the instrument panels, installing
light assemblies, modifying the wire bundles, and installing a new
circuit breaker, as necessary. This AD retains all actions required by
AD 2015-16-01. This AD was prompted by the discovery of a typographical
error in AD 2015-16-01 that referred to a nonexistent paragraph. We are
issuing this AD to prevent the loss of cabin altitude warning, which
could delay flightcrew recognition of a lack of cabin pressurization,
and could result in incapacitation of the flightcrew due to hypoxia (a
lack of oxygen in the body), and consequent loss of control of the
airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective November 12, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 15,
2015 (80 FR 48013, August 11, 2015).
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of
November 7, 2012 (77 FR 60296, October 3, 2012).
    We must receive any comments on this AD by December 14, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On July 22, 2015, we issued AD 2015-16-01, Amendment 39-18226 (80
FR 48013, August 11, 2015), for certain The Boeing Company Model 737
airplanes. AD 2015-16-01 required incorporating design changes to
improve the reliability of the cabin altitude warning system by
installing a redundant cabin altitude pressure switch, replacing the
AWM with a new or reworked AWM, and changing certain wire bundles or
connecting certain previously capped and stowed wires as necessary. For
certain airplanes, AD 2015-16-01 also required prior or concurrent
incorporation of related design changes by modifying the instrument
panels, installing light assemblies, modifying the wire bundles, and
installing a new circuit breaker, as necessary. AD 2015-16-01 resulted
from the report of a flightcrew not receiving an aural warning during a
lack of cabin pressurization event. We issued AD 2015-16-01 to prevent
the loss of cabin altitude warning, which could delay flightcrew
recognition of a lack of cabin pressurization, and could result in
incapacitation of the flightcrew due to hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in
the body), and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2015-16-01 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2015-16-01, Amendment 39-18226 (80 FR 48013,
August 11, 2015), we have discovered a typographical error in paragraph
(j)(1)(iii) of AD 2015-16-01. That error referred to paragraph (j)(4),
which is a paragraph that does not exist in AD 2015-16-01. The correct
reference is paragraph (j)(1)(iv) of AD 2015-16-01. We have changed
paragraph (j)(1)(iii) of this AD accordingly.
    We have also revised paragraph (g)(2) of this AD to remove a
limitation to use only Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-
21-1165, Revision 3, dated July 16, 2014, after the effective date of
AD 2015-16-01, Amendment 39-18226 (80 FR 48013, August 11, 2015).

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following service information:
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-31A1325, Revision 2,
dated June 5, 2014.
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-31A1332, Revision 4,
dated October 31, 2013.

     Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-21-1164,
Revision 2, dated August 23, 2013.
     Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-21-1165,
Revision 3, dated July 16, 2014.
    The service information describes procedures for incorporating
design changes to improve the reliability of the cabin altitude warning
system by installing a redundant cabin altitude pressure switch,
replacing the AWM with a new or reworked AWM, and changing certain wire
bundles or connecting certain previously capped and stowed wires as
necessary. 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.

FAA's Determination

    We are issuing 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.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires the same actions as those required in AD 2015-16-
01, Amendment 39-18226 (80 FR 48013, August 11, 2015).

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    We are superseding AD 2015-16-01, Amendment 39-18226 (80 FR 48013,
August 11, 2015), to correct a typographical error in paragraph
(j)(1)(iii) of AD 2015-16-01, which inadvertently referenced a non-
existent paragraph, and to revise paragraph (g)(2) of this AD to remove
a limitation to use only Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-
21-1165, Revision 3, dated July 16, 2014, after the effective date of
AD 2015-16-01. We have made no other changes to the requirements
published in AD 2015-16-01. Therefore, we find that notice and
opportunity for prior public comment are unnecessary and that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments before it becomes effective. However, we invite
you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send
your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include
the docket number FAA-2015-4207 and Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-123-
AD at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments
on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects
of this AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date
and may amend this AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 1,618 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The new requirements of this AD add no additional economic burden. The
current costs for this AD are repeated for the convenience of affected
operators, as follows.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition

that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    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 DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (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)
2015-16-01, Amendment 39-18226 (80 FR 48013, August 11, 2015) and
adding the following new AD:

2015-21-11 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-18304; Docket No. FAA-
2015-4207; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-123-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective November 12, 2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2015-16-01, Amendment 39-18226 (80 FR 48013,
August 11, 2015).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to The Boeing Company airplanes, certificated in
any category, as identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this
AD.
    (1) Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300,-400, and -500 series
airplanes, as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 737-21-1164, Revision 2, dated August 23, 2013.
    (2) Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800,-900, and -900ER series

Bulletin 737-21-1165, Revision 3, dated July 16, 2014.

 (d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 21, Air
Conditioning.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the report of a flightcrew not receiving
an aural warning during a lack of cabin pressurization event. We are
issuing this AD to prevent the loss of cabin altitude warning, which
could delay flightcrew recognition of a lack of cabin
pressurization, and could result in incapacitation of the flightcrew
due to hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in the body), and consequent loss
of control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Retained Installation, With Removal of Limitation To Use Certain
Service Information

    This paragraph restates the actions required by paragraph (g) of
AD 2015-16-01, Amendment 39-18226 (80 FR 48013, August 11, 2015),

Scoping Meetings

    Commission staff will hold two scoping meetings in the vicinity of
the project at the times and places noted below. The daytime meeting
will focus on resource agency, Indian tribes, and non-governmental
organization concerns, while the evening meeting is primarily for
receiving input from the public. We invite all interested individuals,
organizations, and agencies to attend one or both of the meetings, and
to assist staff in identifying particular study needs, as well as the
scope of environmental issues to be addressed in the environmental
document. The times and locations of these meetings are as follows:

http://www.ferc.gov, using the ``eLibrary'' link. Follow the directions
for accessing information in paragraph n. Based on all oral and written
comments, a Scoping Document 2 (SD2) may be issued. SD2 may include a
revised process plan and schedule, as well as a list of issues,
identified through the scoping process.

Environmental Site Review

Environmental Site Review (site visit) of the project on Wednesday
October 25, 2016, starting at 9:00 a.m. and ending at or about 3:00

Meeting Objectives

    At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) Initiate scoping of the
issues; (2) review and discuss existing conditions and resource
management objectives; (3) review and discuss existing information and
identify preliminary information and study needs; (4) review and
discuss the process plan and schedule for pre-filing activity that
incorporates the time frames provided for in Part 5 of the Commission's
regulations and, to the extent possible, maximizes coordination of
federal, state, and tribal permitting and certification processes; and
(5) discuss the appropriateness of any federal or state agency or
Indian tribe acting as a cooperating agency for development of an
environmental document.
    Meeting participants should come prepared to discuss their issues
and/or concerns. Please review the PAD in preparation for the scoping
meetings. Directions on how to obtain a copy of the PAD and SD1 are
included in item n. of this document.

Meeting Procedures

    The meetings will be recorded by a stenographer and will be placed
in the public records of the project.
