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

    The Exchange proposes to adopt a rule relating to the effectiveness
of a Permit Holder. The text of the proposed rule change is available
on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to adopt a rule governing the effectiveness
of Permit Holder status. In particular, the Exchange proposes to add
language to its rules to codify the requirement that each applicant, to
be a Permit Holder, must become effective in that status within 90 days
of the date of the applicant's approval. The Exchange also proposes to
clarify that a Permit Holder shall become effective upon (i) satisfying
applicable requirements to obtain a Trading Permit and (ii) the release
of a Trading Permit to that Permit Holder by the Registration Services
Department (``RSD'').

    By way of background, pursuant to C2 Rule 3.1 (Trading Permits), if
an applicant to become a C2 Permit Holder is already a Trading Permit
Holder of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE
TPH''), that applicant can take advantage of a streamlined process to
become a Permit Holder on C2 as compared to an applicant that is not
already a CBOE TPH. Specifically, a CBOE TPH applicant would need to
submit certain Exchange forms which indicate its intention to trade on
the Exchange and which submits it to Exchange jurisdiction, as well as
complete other operational matters as determined by the Exchange (e.g.,
complete connectivity testing).\3\ If an applicant is not already a
CBOE Trading Permit Holder (a ``Non-CBOE TPH''), the applicant must
complete a more involved application process which includes, among
other things, the submission of an application to the Exchange and
payment of any applicable application fees.\4\ Additionally, the
Exchange will investigate each Non-CBOE TPH applicant (with the
exception of any applicant that was a Permit Holder or that was
investigated by the Exchange within 9 months prior to the date of
receipt of that applicant's application). Upon completion of the
application process for either a CBOE TPH or Non-CBOE TPH applicant,
RSD determines whether to approve or disapprove the application. The
Exchange notes however, that even if RSD determines to approve a CBOE
or Non-CBOE TPH applicant to become a C2 Permit Holder upon completion
of this process, that applicant is not automatically considered an
``effective'' Permit Holder (i.e., the applicant is not yet permitted
to participate on the Exchange in the capacity in which they applied
and have been approved to act in). Rather, in order to be considered an
effective Permit Holder, the applicant must satisfy applicable
requirements to obtain a Trading Permit (i.e., submission of all
required forms, fees and documentation prescribed by the Exchange,
completion of any required investigation, satisfaction of applicable
orientation and/or exam requirements established by the Exchange and
any other registration and qualification requirements and completion of
connectivity testing) and (ii) RSD must release a Trading Permit to
that Permit Holder. In order to provide further transparency in the
rules, the Exchange proposes to codify these requirements in the rules
and make it explicitly clear that any applicant to become a C2 Permit
Holder shall become an effective Permit Holder upon (i) satisfying the
applicable requirements to obtain a Trading Permit and (ii) the release
of a Trading Permit to that Permit Holder by RSD (i.e., RSD assigns via
its Trading Permit System (``TPS'') a permit number to the applicant
Permit Holder). The Exchange believes the proposed rule change will
provide additional clarity to the rules and reduce confusion regarding
the application process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See C2 Rule 3.1(c)(1).
    \4\ See C2 Rule 3.1(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange next notes that there are instances in which an
applicant (either a CBOE TPH or Non-CBOE TPH) has completed the
application process and RSD is ready to approve the application, but
the applicant needs more time before it is ready to become effective
(i.e., before it is ready to participate on the Exchange in the
capacity in which they applied and have been approved to act in). For
example, an applicant may have completed the application process but
requires more time to resolve logistical issues relating to their
systems or connectivity before it can participate on the Exchange and
therefore wishes to hold off on requesting a Trading Permit. As such,
the Exchange proposes to permit a Permit Holder to become effective as
a Permit Holder within 90 days from the date RSD approved the applicant
to become a C2 Permit Holder. If the Permit Holder does not become
effective within 90 days, the applicant's application will expire. The
Exchange notes that providing a deadline to become effective also
obligates applicants to be diligent in resolving any open issues they
have and ensures finality to the application process. Lastly, the
Exchange notes that the requirement to go effective within 90 days of
the date of approval of an application exists on other exchanges as
well.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See, CBOE Rule 3.10 and ISE Rule 306(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\6\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \7\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \8\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \8\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes it would be beneficial to
market participants to expressly state in the rules that any applicant
to become a C2 Permit Holder shall become an effective Permit Holder
upon (i) satisfying the applicable requirements to obtain a Trading
Permit and (ii) the release of a Trading Permit to that Permit Holder
by RSD. The Exchange believes the proposed rule change will provide
additional clarity to the rules and reduce confusion regarding the
application process, thereby removing impediments to and perfecting the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system. The
Exchange also believes the proposed rule change is beneficial in that
it provides applicants seeking to become a Permit Holder a reasonable
time frame to resolve any open issues prior to becoming effective,
while also requiring applicants to be diligent in resolving such open
issues in a timely matter and ensuring finality to the application
process. Additionally, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule
changes are designed to not permit unfair discrimination among market
participants, as the proposed changes are applicable to all applicants
to become Permit Holders.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    C2 does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change does not
impose any burden on intramarket competition because it applies to all
applicants to become C2 Permit Holders. The Exchange also does not
believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on
intermarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Specifically, the Exchange is
merely attempting to

add additional transparency to its rules relating to the application
process as well as provide for a reasonable time frame for C2 Permit
Holder applicants to become effective on C2 as Permit Holders. The
Exchange notes that, to the extent that the proposed changes make C2
more attractive for trading, market participants trading on other
exchanges are welcome to become Permit Holders and trade at C2 if they
determine that this proposed rule change has made C2 more attractive or
favorable.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) \10\ thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of
the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily
suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the
protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission will
institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change
should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wenatchee Works primary aluminum smelter (Wenatchee Works) located near
Wenatchee, Washington and to its successors and/or assignees.
    (b) Best available retrofit technology (BART) emission limitations
for Potline 5--(1) Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission limit.
Starting November 10, 2014, SO2 emissions from Potline 5
must not exceed 46 pounds per ton of aluminum produced during any
calendar month as calculated in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section.
    (i) Compliance demonstration. Alcoa must determine SO2
emissions, on a calendar month basis using the following formulas:

SO2 emissions in pounds = (carbon ratio) x (tons of aluminum
produced during the calendar month) x (% sulfur in baked anodes/100) x
(% sulfur converted to SO2/100) x (2 pounds of
SO2 per pound of sulfur)

SO2 emissions in pounds per ton of aluminum produced =
(SO2 emissions in pounds during the calendar month)/(tons of
aluminum produced during the calendar month)

    (A) The carbon ratio is the calendar month average of tons of baked
anodes consumed per ton of aluminum produced as determined using the
baked anode consumption and aluminum production records required in
paragraph (h)(2) of this section.
    (B) The % sulfur in baked anodes is the calendar month average
sulfur content as determined in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (C) The % sulfur converted to SO2 is 90%.
    (ii) Emission monitoring. The % sulfur of baked anodes must be
determined using ASTM Method D6376 or an alternative method approved by
the EPA Region 10.
    (A) At a minimum, Alcoa must collect no less than four baked anode
core samples during each calendar week.
    (B) Calendar month average sulfur content must be determined by
averaging the sulfur content of all samples collected during the
calendar month.
    (2) Particulate matter (PM) emission limit. Starting November 10,
2014, PM emissions from the Potline 5 Gas Treatment Center stack must
not exceed 0.005 grains per dry standard cubic foot of exhaust gas.
    (3) Nitrogen oxides (NOX) emission limit. Starting January 7, 2015,
NOX emissions from Potline 5 must not exceed, in tons per
calendar month, the emission limit determined under paragraph
(b)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (i) Compliance demonstration. Alcoa must determine NOX
emissions, on a calendar month basis using the following formula:

NOX emissions in tons per calendar month = (the emission
factor determined under paragraph (b)(3)(ii) of this section, in pounds
of NOX per ton of aluminum produced) x (number of tons of
aluminum produced in the calendar month)/(2000 pounds per ton).

    (ii) NOX emission factor development. By September 9, 2014, Alcoa
must submit to the EPA a plan for testing NOX emissions from
Potline 5 and developing an emission factor in terms of pounds of
NOX per ton of aluminum produced. This plan must include
testing NOX emissions from both the Gas Treatment Center
stack and the potline roof vents along with measurements of volumetric
flow and aluminum production such that mass emissions can be determined
and correlated with aluminum production. Within 90 days after the EPA
approval of the plan, Alcoa shall conduct the testing and submit the
resultant emission factor to the EPA at the address listed in paragraph
(i)(5) of this section.
    (iii) NOX emission limit. NOX emission limit in tons per
calendar month = (the emission factor determined under paragraph
(b)(3)(ii) of this section, in pounds of NOX per ton of
aluminum produced) x (5546.2 tons of aluminum per month)/(2000 pounds
per ton).
    (c) Best available retrofit technology (BART) emission limitations
for Anode Bake Furnace #62--(1) Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission limit.
Starting November 10, 2014, the sulfur content of the coke used in
anode manufacturing must not exceed a weighted average of 3.0 percent
during any calendar month as calculated in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this
section.
    (i) Compliance demonstration. The weighted monthly average sulfur
content of coke used in manufacturing shall be calculated as follows:

Weighted average percent sulfur =
[sum](C1-nxSC1-n/100)/[sum]C1-n*100

Where:

Cn is the quantity of coke in shipment n in tons
SCn is the percent sulfur content by weight of the coke
in shipment n
n is the number of shipments of coke in the calendar month

    (ii) Emission monitoring. Alcoa must test each shipment of coke for
sulfur content using ASTM Method D6376 or an alternative method
approved by the EPA Region 10. Written documentation from the coke
supplier certifying the sulfur content is an approved alternative
method.
    (2) Particulate matter (PM) emission limit. Starting November 10,
2014, the PM emissions from the anode bake furnaces stack must not
exceed 0.01 grains per dry standard cubic foot of exhaust gas.
    (3) Nitrogen oxides (NOX) emission limit. Starting November 10,
2014, the anode bake furnaces must only combust natural gas.

(NOX) emission limit for an approved alternative fuel. Compliance with
a Best Available Control Technology (BACT) emission limit for
NOX for the anode bake furnaces, established in a Prevention
of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit issued pursuant to 40 CFR
52.21 or pursuant to an EPA-approved PSD program that meets the
requirements of 40 CFR 51.166, shall be deemed to be compliance with
BART for a fuel other than natural gas.
    (d) Best available retrofit technology (BART) emission limitations
for Ingot Furnace 1 (IP-1), Ingot Furnace 2 (IP-2), and Ingot Furnace
11 (IP-11)--(1) Particulate matter (PM) emission limits. Starting

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act to study the feasibility of the
proposed Soule River Hydroelectric Project No. 13528 located on the
Soule River, within the Ketchikan Recording District, First Judicial
District, near Hyder, Alaska. The project would occupy federal lands
within the Tongass National Forest. The sole purpose of a preliminary
permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a
license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does
not authorize the permit holder to perform any land disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others
without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) A proposed concrete dam
with a maximum height of 160 feet; (2) a proposed storage reservoir
with a normal water surface area of 950 acres, an active storage
capacity of approximately 60,000 acre-feet, and a gross storage
capacity of approximately 74,000 acre-feet; (3) a proposed 12-foot-
diameter, 12,000-foot-long penstock; (4) a proposed powerhouse
containing 2 generating units with a total installed capacity of 75
megawatts; (5) an open channel tailrace; (6) a 138-kilovolt, 9.72 mile-
long submarine cable transmission line connecting to the existing
interconnection transmission system in Hyder, and (7) appurtenant
facilities. The proposed Soule River Hydroelectric Project would have
an average annual generation of 270 gigawatt-hours.

Amendment 39-21545; AD 2021-10-12]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-09-
14, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041
airplanes. AD 2020-09-14 required revising the existing airplane flight
manual (AFM) to define a liquid-prohibited zone on the flight deck and
provide procedures following liquid spillage on the center pedestal. AD
2020-09-14 also required installing a removable integrated control
panel (ICP) cover on the flight deck and further revising the AFM to
include instructions for ICP cover use. This AD requires installing a
new, water-resistant ICP, which allows removing the ICP protective
cover and the AFM revisions, as specified in a European Union Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD
was prompted by development of a new, water-resistant ICP. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective July 29, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 29,
2021.

ADDRESSES: For material incorporated by reference (IBR) in this AD,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0203, dated September 23, 2020
(EASA AD 2020-0203) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2020-09-14, Amendment 39-19910 (85 FR
30601, May 20, 2020) (AD 2020-09-14). AD 2020-09-14 applied to certain
Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. The NPRM published in
the

Federal Register on February 22, 2021 (86 FR 10493). The NPRM was
prompted by a new, water-resistant ICP developed by the manufacturer to
address the identified unsafe condition. The NPRM proposed to continue
to require revising the existing AFM to define a liquid-prohibited zone
on the flight deck and provide procedures following liquid spillage on
the center pedestal. The NPRM also proposed to continue to require
installing a removable ICP cover on the flight deck and further
revising the AFM to include instructions for ICP cover use, as
specified in EASA AD 2020-0203. The NPRM also proposed to require
installing a new, water-resistant ICP, which would allow removing the
ICP protective cover and the AFM revisions, as specified in EASA AD
2020-0203.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address the potential for dual-engine
in-flight shutdown (IFSD), possibly resulting in a forced landing with
consequent damage to the airplane and injury to occupants. See the MCAI
for additional background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA has considered the comment
received. The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA)
indicated its support for the NPRM.

Change to the Costs of Compliance Section

    In the NPRM, the FAA did not provide a parts cost estimate for the
new actions, and it was noted that the FAA had received no definitive
data regarding cost estimates for those parts. Since publication of the
NPRM, the FAA has obtained a parts cost estimate from the manufacturer,
and has updated the Costs of Compliance section of this final rule
accordingly.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for minor
editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0203 describes procedures for revising the AFM to
define a liquid-prohibited zone on the flight deck and provide
procedures following liquid spillage on the center pedestal, installing
an ICP cover on the flight deck, and further revising the AFM to
include instructions for ICP cover use. EASA AD 2020-0203 also
describes procedures for installing a new, water-resistant ICP;
removing the ICP protective cover; and removing the AFM revisions. This
material 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 15 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                   $3,570.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FAA has received no definitive data regarding cost estimates for these parts.

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected operators. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected operators. As a result, the FAA has included all known costs
in the 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.
    The FAA is 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

0
b. Adding the following new AD:

2021-10-12 Airbus SAS: Amendment 39-21545; Docket No. FAA-2020-1178;
Project Identifier MCAI-2020-01325-T.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective July 29, 2021.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2020-09-14, Amendment 39-19910 (85 FR 30601,
May 20, 2020) (AD 2020-09-14).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041
airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European

    (3) Where EASA AD 2020-0203 refers to the effective date of EASA
AD 2020-0090, this AD requires using June 4, 2020 (the effective
date of AD 2020-09-14).
    (4) Where paragraph (7) of EASA AD 2020-0203 specifies removing
the AFM [airplane flight manual] changes ``as required by paragraph
(2) or (4) of [the MCAI], as applicable,'' this AD requires removing
the AFM changes required by paragraph (1), (2), (4), or (5), as
applicable, from the AFM.
    (5) For airplanes with Mod 116010: This AD does not require the
actions specified in paragraphs (1), (3), and (4) of EASA AD 2020-
0203, as specified in paragraph (g) of this AD.
    (6) ``Note 1'' of EASA AD 2020-0203 does not apply to this AD.
However, after the actions required by EASA AD 2020-0203, paragraphs

Federal Railroad Administration

49 CFR Chapter II

[Docket No. FRA-2009-0038]
RIN 2130-AC11

Risk Reduction Program

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of public hearings.

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

SUMMARY: FRA is announcing public hearings to provide interested
persons an opportunity to discuss the development of a regulation
requiring certain railroads to develop a Risk Reduction Program (RRP).
The Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 requires the development and
implementation of railroad safety risk reduction programs. Risk
reduction is a comprehensive, system-oriented approach to safety that
(1) determines an operation's level of risk by identifying and
analyzing applicable hazards and (2) develops plans to mitigate that
risk. Each RRP is statutorily required to be supported by a risk
analysis and a Risk Reduction Program Plan (RRPP), which must include a
Technology Implementation Plan and a Fatigue Management Plan.

DATES: To encourage participation, two public hearings will be held. A
public hearing will be held on July 19, 2011, in Chicago, and a public
hearing will be held on July 21, 2011, in Washington, DC. At both
locations, the times of the public hearings will be from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m.

ADDRESSES: Public Hearings. The public hearing in Chicago will be held
at the W Chicago City Center Hotel located at 172 West Adams, in the
Great Room I, Plateau. The public hearing in Washington, DC, will be
held at the Doubletree Hotel located at 1515 Rhode Island Avenue, NW.,
in the Terrace Ballroom.
    Attendance: Any persons wishing to make a statement at the hearing
should notify FRA's Docket Clerk, Michelle Silva, by telephone, e-mail,
or in writing, at least five business days before the date of the
hearing. Ms. Silva's contact information is as follows: FRA, Office of
Chief Counsel, Mail Stop 10, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington,
DC 20590; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For
information on facilities or services for persons with disabilities or
to request special assistance at the meetings, please contact by
telephone or e-mail as soon as possible, Wendy A. Noble Burns at 202-
493-6304 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Miriam Kloeppel, Staff Director, Risk
Reduction Program Division, Office of Safety Analysis, FRA, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue, SE., Mail Stop 25, Washington, DC 20590; telephone: 202-
493-6224; e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Matthew L. Navarrete,
Trial Attorney, Office of Chief Counsel, FRA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue,
SE., Mail Stop 10, Washington, DC 20590; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-
mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested parties are invited to present
oral statements and to proffer information and views at the hearings.
The hearings will be informal and will be conducted by a representative
designated by FRA in accordance with FRA's Rules of Practice (49 CFR
211.25). The hearings will be non-adversarial proceedings; therefore,
there will be no cross examination of persons presenting statements or
proffering evidence. An FRA representative will make an opening
statement outlining the scope of each hearing. After all initial
statements have been completed, those persons wishing to make a brief
rebuttal will be given the opportunity to do so in the same order in
which the initial statements were made. Additional procedures, as
necessary for the conduct of the hearings, will be announced at the
hearings. The purpose of these hearings is to receive oral comments in
response to an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) that
requested public comment on a potential risk reduction rulemaking. See
75 FR 76345-76351, Dec. 8, 2010. A transcript of the discussions will
be made part of the public docket in this proceeding.
    Public Participation Procedures. Any person wishing to participate
in one of the public hearings should notify the Docket Clerk by mail or
at the address or fax number provided in the Attendance section at
least five working days prior to the date of the hearing and submit
three copies of the oral statement that he or she intends to make at
the proceeding. The notification should identify the party the person
represents, the particular subject(s) the person plans to address, and
the time requested. The notification should also provide the Docket
Clerk with the participant's mailing address and other contact
information. FRA reserves the right to limit participation in the
hearings of persons who fail to provide such notification. FRA reserves
the right to limit the duration of presentations if necessary to afford
all persons with the opportunity to speak.

Background

    In Sec.  103 of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008, Public Law
110-432, 122 Stat. 4854 (Oct. 16, 2008) (codified at 49 U.S.C. 20156)
(hereinafter RSIA), Congress directed the Secretary of Transportation
to issue a regulation by October 16, 2012, requiring certain railroads
to develop an RRP. While the statute vests certain responsibilities
with the Secretary of the U.S. DOT (Secretary), the Secretary has since
delegated those responsibilities to the FRA Administrator. See 49 CFR
1.49(oo); 74 FR 26981 (June 5, 2009); see also 49 U.S.C. 103(g).
    Each railroad subject to the regulation would have to develop and
implement an RRP approved by FRA. See 49 U.S.C. 20156(a)(1). This RRP
is required to be supported by an RRPP. See 49 U.S.C. 20156(d)(2). FRA
would conduct an annual review to ensure that each railroad has
complied with its RRP. See 49 U.S.C. 20156(a)(3). The RSIA mandates
that the following three categories of railroads be required to develop
and implement an FRA-approved RRP:
    (1) Class I railroads;
    (2) Railroad carriers with inadequate safety performance, as
determined by the Secretary; and
    (3) Railroad carriers that provide intercity rail passenger or
commuter rail passenger transportation (passenger railroads).

See 49 U.S.C. 20156(a)(1).

    Railroads not required to implement RRPs under the RSIA would be
permitted to voluntarily submit plans meeting the requirements of any
final RRP regulation for FRA review and approval. See 49 U.S.C.
20156(a)(4).
    On December 8, 2010, FRA published an ANPRM soliciting public
comment on how FRA can best develop a risk reduction regulation based
upon the RSIA's requirements. See 75 FR 76345-76351. The ANPRM
discussed certain major components that must be included in the final
rule under the RSIA and identified various approaches that FRA could
take in developing the rule. The purpose of these hearings is to

receive oral comment in response to the issues discussed in the ANPRM.
    FRA encourages all interested persons to participate in one of
these hearings, at the addresses noted above. We encourage participants
wishing to make oral statements to plan on attending an entire hearing,
since FRA may not be able to accommodate competing requests to appear
at specific times.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0771; Airspace Docket No. 10-AGL-12]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Mansfield, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Mansfield, OH, to
accommodate new Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAP) at Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport, Mansfield, OH.
The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of
Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, March 10, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone (817) 321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 21, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for Mansfield,
OH, creating additional controlled airspace at Mansfield Lahm Regional
Airport (75 FR 64965) Docket No. FAA-2010-0771. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E
airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, 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.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to accommodate SIAPs at Mansfield Lahm Regional
Airport, Mansfield, OH. This action is necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 controlled airspace at Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport,
Mansfield, OH.
