SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71017; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2013-134]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
to Modify the Listing of Additional Shares Fees Payable by Non-U.S.
Companies

December 6, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on November 29, 2013, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``NASDAQ'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by NASDAQ.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    NASDAQ is proposing to modify the listing of additional shares fees
payable by non-U.S. companies.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, 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. 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
    NASDAQ's listing of additional shares fees are designed, in part,
to offset the costs of NASDAQ's regulatory program associated with
oversight of listed companies, including the review of share issuances
for compliance with the shareholder approval and voting rights rules,
the regulatory review of entities and individuals that purchase a
significant interest in a listed company in a transaction with the
company, and NASDAQ's efforts to increase the transparency of
interpretations of its rules. Currently, the applicable fees depend on
whether the company is a domestic or non-U.S. company. Domestic
companies pay a fee of $0.01 per share, subject to a minimum quarterly
fee of $5,000, for any amount of shares in excess of 49,999 shares
issued during a quarter, and a maximum fee of $65,000 per year.\3\ In
contrast, non-U.S. companies pay a flat fee of $5,000 for any amount of
shares in excess of 49,999 shares issued during a year.\4\ There is no
fee for issuances of up to 49,999 shares per quarter for domestic
companies and up to 49,999 shares per year for non-U.S. companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Rules 5910(b)(1) and 5920(b)(1).
    \4\ Rules 5910(b)(2) and 5920(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ proposes to make two changes to the listing of additional
shares fees payable by non-U.S. companies. First, NASDAQ proposes to
modify the rule such that a foreign company that is not a Foreign
Private Issuer \5\ pays the same listing of additional shares fees as a
domestic company. For purposes of NASDAQ's other rules, a foreign
company that is not a Foreign Private Issuer is treated the same as a
domestic company.\6\ Further, unlike a Foreign Private Issuer, a
foreign company that is not a Foreign Private Issuer files the same
quarterly reports as a domestic company \7\ and is typically not
primarily traded on another marketplace. As such, NASDAQ believes it is
appropriate to treat these companies the same as domestic companies for
purposes of the listing of additional shares fee because they are
subject to the same rules and generally trade primarily on NASDAQ.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ ``Foreign Private Issuer'' is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the
Act, 17 CFR 240.3b-4. See Rule 5005(a)(18). A foreign company that
is not a Foreign Private Issuer would be considered a ``foreign
issuer'' under Rule 3b-4. A foreign issuer is also defined to
include a foreign government that issues securities.
    \6\ For example, while a Foreign Private Issuer can rely on an
exemption from most of NASDAQ's corporate governance requirements
under Rule 5615(a)(3), a foreign company that is not a Foreign
Private Issuer is not eligible for that exemption.
    \7\ Under SEC Rule 13a-13(b)(2), 17 CFR 240.13a-13(b)(2), a
Foreign Private Issuer is not required to file quarterly reports
with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, NASDAQ proposes to increase the listing of additional
shares fee applicable to Foreign Private Issuers from $5,000 to $7,500
per year effective January 1, 2014. As under the current rule, no fee
would be charged for issuances of up to 49,999 shares per year. NASDAQ
believes this change would reduce the current disparity in the listing
of additional shares fees paid by Foreign Private Issuers, which also
benefit from NASDAQ's regulatory program, and other companies, while
still recognizing that those Foreign Private Issuers generally also
trade on another marketplace and are subject to an exemption from many
of NASDAQ's corporate governance rules. While the proposed $7,500 per
year fee would exceed the $5,000 minimum fee applicable to companies
that are not Foreign Private Issuers, NASDAQ believes that this higher
fee is appropriate given that fee [sic] for Foreign Private Issuers is
assessed annually, instead of quarterly, and that Foreign Private
Issuers are not subject to per share fees, which can range as high as
$65,000 per year.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ NASDAQ also proposes to make non-substantive changes to
replace the term ``issuer'' with the defined term ``Company''
throughout the rules and to improve readability of the rule text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ will implement these changes on January 1, 2014.\9\ A
foreign company that is not a Foreign Private Issuer will first owe the
$0.01 per share listing of additional shares fee for the change in
shares outstanding during its first fiscal quarter beginning on or
after January 1, 2014.\10\ A Foreign Private Issuer will be subject to
the new $7,500 fee for the change in its shares outstanding starting
with its first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2014.\11\
Following effectiveness, if a company ceases to be a Foreign Private
Issuer, it will be assessed the listing of additional shares fee based
on its new status effective with the start of its next fiscal year,
when it is also required to start filing Forms 10-Q and 10-K.\12\ If a
company becomes a Foreign Private Issuer, it similarly will become
subject to the fee applicable to Foreign Private Issuers at the
beginning of its next fiscal year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Until January 1, 2014, the online NASDAQ rule book will
reflect the currently effective fees with a note indicating that
this fee change is pending and will become effective on January 1,
2014. The online NASDAQ rule book will also contain a link to the
text of the revised rule.
    \10\ For example, a company with a December 31st year end would
first owe the fee under Rule 5910(b)(1) or Rule 5920(b)(1) for the
change in its shares outstanding during its first quarter, as
reflect [sic] in the difference between the shares outstanding
reported on its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and
its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
    \11\ A Foreign Private Issuer with a December 31st fiscal year
will first pay the new fee for shares issued between January 1, 2014
and December 31, 2014 and will be billed for those share issuances
based on the Form 20-F filed in 2015.
    \12\ A foreign company is required to determine whether it is a
Foreign Private Issuer on an annual basis as of the end of its
second fiscal quarter. If the company determines that it is no
longer a Foreign Private Issuer, it must transition to domestic
reporting status beginning on the first day of the next fiscal year.
SEC Rule 3b-4(e), 17 CFR 240.3b-4(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    NASDAQ believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\13\ in general and with
Sections 6(b)(4) and (5) of the Act,\14\ in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members, issuers and other persons using its
facilities, and does not unfairly discriminate between customers,
issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ believes that the proposed fees are reasonable and not
unfairly discriminatory because they will better allocate costs of
NASDAQ's regulatory program across the listed companies that benefit
from that program. NASDAQ believes that the proposed $2,500 increase in
the listing of additional shares fee applicable to Foreign Private
Issuers is reasonable and an equitable allocation of a portion of the
costs of NASDAQ's regulatory program, which benefits these companies.
While the proposed $7,500 per year fee would exceed the $5,000 minimum
quarterly fee applicable to companies that are not Foreign Private
Issuers, NASDAQ believes that this higher fee is appropriate given that
Foreign Private Issuers are not subject to per share fees, which can
range as high as $65,000 per year. In addition, continuing a separate,
lower fee for Foreign Private Issuers remains a reasonable and
equitable allocation of fees because Foreign Private Issuers generally
trade on another marketplace and have exemptions available to many of
NASDAQ's governance rules,

including the shareholder approval and voting rights rules.
    NASDAQ also believes that it is reasonable and not unfairly
discriminatory to charge a foreign company that is not a Foreign
Private Issuer the same fee as a domestic company. The listing
situation of a foreign company that is not a Foreign Private Issuer is
more similar to a domestic company than it is to a Foreign Private
Issuer in that a Foreign Private Issuer often will trade on another
marketplace and is subject to exemptions from many of NASDAQ's
corporate governance rules. On the other hand foreign companies that
are not Foreign Private Issuers, like domestic companies, do not
typically trade on other marketplaces and are not eligible to
exemptions from the governance requirements. Similarly, a Foreign
Private Issuer receives different treatment under the Commission's
rules than a foreign company that is not a Foreign Private Issuer.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ For example, a Foreign Private Issuer is not required to
file quarterly reports and is exempt from the proxy rules. See SEC
Rules 13a-13(b)(2), 17 CFR 240.13a-13(b)(2), and 3a12-3(b), 17 CFR
240.3a12-3(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, NASDAQ believes that the proposed fees are consistent with
the investor protection objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \16\
in that they are designed to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to remove impediments to a free and open market and national
market system, and in general to protect investors and the public
interest. Specifically, the fees are designed to ensure that there are
adequate resources for NASDAQ's listing compliance program, which helps
to assure that listing standards are properly enforced and investors
are protected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    NASDAQ does not believe that the proposed rule change will result
in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. The market for
listing services is extremely competitive and listed companies may
freely choose alternative venues based on the aggregate fees assessed,
and the value provided by each listing. This rule proposal does not
burden competition with other listing venues, which are similarly free
to set their fees. For these reasons, NASDAQ does not believe that the
proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition for
listings.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \17\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\18\ 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.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -200PF, -200CB, and -300 series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracking of the forward
bulkhead web, web stiffeners, attachment angles, and thermal anti-ice
(TAI) spray ring assemblies of the engine air intake cowl. This AD
requires replacing the forward bulkhead assembly, TAI spray ring
assembly, and attachment fittings of the air intake cowl. We are
issuing this AD to prevent the failure of air intake cowl components
due to cracking, which could result in the air intake cowl separating
from the engine and striking critical airplane control surfaces that
could result in a loss of airplane control; severe engine damage and
loss of thrust; or large parts striking a person or property on the
ground.

DATES: This AD is effective July 1, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of July 1, 2014.

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 The Boeing Company
Model 757-200, -200PF, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2012 (77 FR 64242).
The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracking of the forward bulkhead
web, web stiffeners, attachment angles, and thermal anti-ice (TAI)
spray ring assemblies of the engine air intake cowl. The NPRM proposed
to require replacing the forward bulkhead assembly, TAI spray ring
assembly, and attachment fittings of the air intake cowl. We are
issuing this AD to prevent the failure of air intake cowl components
due to cracking, which could result in the air intake cowl separating
from the engine and striking critical airplane control surfaces that
could result in a loss of airplane control; severe engine damage and
loss of thrust; or large parts striking a person or property on the
ground.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(77 FR 64242, October 19, 2012) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Requests To Delay Final Rule Pending Modification as Terminating Action

    FedEx, American Airlines (AAL), and United Airlines (UAL) requested
that we delay issuance of this final rule until the manufacturer can
release service information that contains instructions for a
modification as terminating action for the repetitive replacements
proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012). In lieu of that,
FedEx and AAL requested we include a modification as terminating
action. FedEx and AAL stated that it would be more beneficial to
accomplish the terminating modification rather than doing the interim
replacements of the air intake cowl bulkhead assemblies or parts. UAL
noted that airlines are working with Boeing to obtain improvements to
the current design, which includes a three-part solution to most
structural design deficiencies.
    FedEx explained that Rolls-Royce was scheduled to release service
information including a terminating modification for the repetitive
replacements during the first quarter of 2013. UAL stated repetitive
replacement of the forward bulkhead is expensive and does not solve the
inherent design problem.
    We partially agree. We agree that a terminating modification, if
available, should be included as part of this final rule, because
eliminating the in-service safety issue is a preferred choice over
repetitive replacement of assemblies or parts.
    However, we disagree with delaying issuance of this final rule
until service information containing procedures for a terminating
modification becomes available. We have not received an exact date for
release of the planned Rolls-Royce service information. We have
determined that to delay this final rule would be inappropriate, since
we have determined that such a delay would not adequately address the
unsafe condition in a timely manner and that replacing the forward
bulkhead assembly components must be done to ensure continued safety.
When the terminating modification becomes available, we might consider
additional rulemaking. Operators may apply for approval of an
alternative method of compliance (AMOC) for these actions in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph (l) of

this AD. We have not changed this final rule in this regard.

Request To Reference Latest Service Information and Allow Credit

    Rolls-Royce Group PLC (Rolls-Royce) requested that we refer to the
latest service information: Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service
Bulletin RB.211-71-AG698, Revision 1, dated September 28, 2012, which
was issued to correct minor typographical errors. Rolls-Royce also
requested that we allow credit for actions done previously using Rolls-
Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-AG698, dated
October 14, 2011.
    We agree to reference the latest service information and to allow
credit for using certain previous revisions. We have updated paragraphs
(g) and (h) of this final rule to reference Rolls-Royce Alert Non-
Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-AG698, excluding Appendix 1 and
including Appendices 2, 3, and 4, Revision 2, dated June 20, 2013,
which corrects a certain air intake cowl serial number; and to
reference Bombardier Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB211-E4-
A1003, Revision 3, dated February 4, 2014, which corrects certain part
numbers. We also have revised paragraph (i) of this final rule to allow
credit for certain actions done before the effective date of this AD
using Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-
AG698, dated October 14, 2011; or Revision 1, dated September 28, 2012.
We also have revised paragraph (i) of this final rule to allow credit
for certain actions done before the effective date of this AD using
Bombardier Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB211-E4-A1003,
Revision 1, dated August 15, 2012; and Revision 2, dated December 5,
2012.

Requests To Delay Final Rule Until Service Information is Corrected

    FedEx requested that this final rule be delayed until a part number
in certain service information is corrected. FedEx stated that Appendix
3 of Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-
AG698, dated October 14, 2011, called out part number LJ35477 for both
``Angle ATT FWD Outer'' and ``Angle Attachment FWD Outer.'' However,
the correct part number for the latter part is LJ35478.
    We do not agree to delay issuance of this final rule. However, we
note that the part number error has already been corrected in Appendix
3 of Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-
AG698, Revision 1, dated September 28, 2012; and Revision 2, dated June
20, 2013. We have updated paragraphs (g), (h), (j), and (k) of this
final rule to reference Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service
Bulletin RB.211-71-AG698, excluding Appendix 1 and including Appendices
2, 3, and 4, Revision 2, dated June 20, 2013; and Bombardier Alert Non-
Modification Service Bulletin RB211-E4-A1003, Revision 3, dated
February 4, 2014; as the appropriate sources of service information for
removing and replacing, with new parts, the forward bulkhead assembly,
TAI spray ring assembly, and attachment fittings of the air intake
cowl. Bombardier Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB211-E4-
A1003, Revision 3, dated February 4, 2014, also includes corrected part
number information: Part number LJ35479, with quantity two, was
corrected to LJ50537 and LJ50538, with one quantity each; part number
LJ35482 was corrected to LJ50535; and part number LJ35483 was corrected
to LJ50536.
    AAL and FedEx requested that certain service information be updated
to allow the use of alternative rivets (fasteners) in place of obsolete
``MS20426DD'' fasteners. The commenters stated that service information
should include suitable alternatives; however, the commenters did not
propose suitable alternative fastener information.
    We have confirmed with the parts manufacturer that the subject
rivets (fasteners) are not obsolete, as indicated by the commenters. In
addition, while we agree that it would be beneficial if the service
information were to include acceptable alternative fastener
information, in light of the urgency of the identified unsafe
condition, we do not find it appropriate to delay this final rule to
wait for additional revised service information. We included paragraph
(l) in this final rule to provide operators a means to request approval
of the use of an alternative fastener if sufficient data are presented
that demonstrate the rivet (fastener) is a suitable alternative. We
have not changed this final rule in this regard.

Request To Issue Component AD Instead of Airplane AD

    FedEx requested that the applicability in paragraph (c) of the NPRM
(77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012) be revised to reference component part
numbers and serial numbers, rather than specific airplanes. FedEx
stated that the NPRM should apply to components rather than airplanes
because the applicability of the NPRM, as written, will create
confusion and will inhibit operator AD tracking capabilities.
    We disagree with the commenter's request. According to FAA policy,
if an unsafe condition results from the installation of a particular
component in only one particular make and model of airplane, the AD
would apply to the airplane model, not the component. The reason for
this is simple: If the AD applies to the airplane model equipped with
the item, operators of those airplanes will be notified directly of the
unsafe condition and the action required to correct it. While we assume
that operators can identify the airplane models they operate, they may
not be aware of specific items installed on the airplanes. Therefore,
specifying the airplane models in the applicability as the subject of
the AD prevents an operator's ``unknowing failure to comply'' with the
AD. In this case, the air intake cowls of the affected design with the
identified unsafe condition are known to be confined to Model 757
airplanes; therefore, it is appropriate for the FAA to issue an
airplane AD, not a component AD. We have not changed this final rule in
this regard.

Request To Clarify Applicability Regarding Pratt & Whitney Engines

    US Airways requested the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012) be
revised to clarify actions for airplanes equipped with Pratt & Whitney
engines.
    We clarify that the applicability statement in paragraph (c) of
this final rule only identifies Boeing Model 757-200, -200PF, -200CB,
and -300 series airplanes equipped with certain Rolls-Royce engines.
This final rule does not apply to airplanes equipped with Pratt &
Whitney engines. No change has been made to this final rule in this
regard.

Request To Revise a Calendar-Based to a Cycle-Based Compliance Time

    UPS requested that the compliance times in the NPRM (77 FR 69242,
October 19, 2012) be revised from calendar-based to cycle-based time
for the replacement requirement. UPS noted that the NPRM requires
replacement of forward bulkhead assemblies of air intake cowls at
calendar date intervals based solely on the date of manufacture. UPS
stated this requirement imposes unnecessary hardship and higher costs
to low-utilization operators. UPS stated that since the issue is one of
metal fatigue, a high-utilization operator will subject the same
components to multiple times the fatigue exposures as a low-utilization
operator over the same period.
    UPS also stated that spare intake cowls that have never been in
service--and therefore have not seen metal fatigue--are subject to the
same calendar-based replacement intervals, and that this severely
degrades the value

and usability of intake cowls over time. UPS stated a cycle-based
compliance time would provide all operators the ability to maximize
utilization cycles on the affected intake cowls and defer the high
costs of replacement.
    We disagree with the commenter's request to provide a cycle-based
compliance time because UPS did not provide any data to support a
particular cycle-based compliance time. Boeing and Rolls-Royce provided
risk analyses and recommended corrective action based on a prescribed
calendar-based compliance time. At the time we developed the NPRM (77
FR 69242, October 19, 2012), Boeing and Rolls-Royce stated there were
no reliable data to support a risk analysis based on cycle and time
usage, e.g., tracking (1) ownership of air intake cowls, (2) which
airplane a particular engine air intake cowl had been installed on, (3)
which engine a particular air intake cowl had been installed on, and
(4) the cycle or time usage on a certain air intake cowl. Thus, Boeing
and Rolls-Royce decided to manage the interim solution as a fleet risk,
requiring replacements at a specific time based on the air intake cowl
serial number.
    However, if any operator has complete data on its air intake cowl
usage and substantiating data to justify a cycle-based compliance time,
then that operator may apply for approval of an AMOC in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph (l) of this AD. We have not changed this
final rule in this regard.

Requests for Extension of Compliance Time

    FedEx and US Airways requested we extend the proposed compliance
time from 12 months to 24 months. Both suggested this revised
compliance time be applied for the cowls having the oldest serial
numbers (4001 through 4121). US Airways stated that the older cowls are
likely to have had a recent shop visit in which damaged components have
been detected and repaired. Both stated that neither the manufacturer
nor overhaul vendors could provide kits or manpower to accomplish the
tasks.
    We infer that the commenters are referring to paragraph (h)(1) of
the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012). We disagree with the requests
to extend the specified compliance time since Rolls-Royce and
Bombardier have verified that adequate parts and repair facility
capacity are available to support the compliance time of this final
rule. Paragraph (l) of this AD provides operators the opportunity to
request approval of an AMOC if data are presented that prove an
alternative compliance time will provide an acceptable level of safety.
We have not changed this final rule in this regard.

Request To Use Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Completion Date as
Initial Accomplishment of Forward Bulkhead Replacement

    AAL stated if the operator suspects the Bombardier Aerospace E4X
STC was applied to the nose cowl, but the data plate does not reflect
it, the operator should contact Bombardier to determine if that
particular serial number nose cowl had the STC applied. AAL stated if
the STC was done, then that date can be used as the initial
accomplishment of the forward bulkhead replacement.
    We disagree with the request. We infer from AAL's statement that
AAL incorrectly assumes that Bombardier Aerospace STC ST02102NY (http:/
/rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory--and--Guidance--Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
256325188c3b1f2f8625705f004dd977/$FILE/ST02102NY.pdf) specifies the
replacement of the forward bulkhead assembly. Bombardier Aerospace STC
ST02102NY specifies replacement of the metal intake barrel liner in the
535E4 Dyna-Rohr inlet series with a composite intake barrel liner; and
also specifies the embodiment of new double thickness insulation
blankets, additional intake barrel support brackets, a 50,000 series
engine ring, lipskin main diffuser and joints, primary assembly inner
rear angles and joints, and a bonding strap, among other associated
changes. Bombardier Aerospace STC ST02102NY does not replace the
forward bulkhead assembly of the air intake cowl.
    However, for operators having sufficient repair records for the
replacement of a forward bulkhead assembly, paragraph (l) of this AD
provides the opportunity to request approval of an AMOC if data are
presented to show that the work accomplished is equivalent to the
applicable replacement required by this final rule. We have not changed
this final rule in this regard.

Requests To Clarify Compliance Time on Previously Reworked Air Intake
Cowls

    Rolls-Royce and Boeing requested the compliance time specified in
paragraph (g) of the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012) be modified
by removing the phrase ``or within 12 months after the effective date
of this AD, whichever is later'' and replacing it with a different
compliance time.
    Boeing stated that the risk assessment used to develop the
compliance times did not account for any previous air intake cowl
replacement and assumed all air intake cowls would be replaced by a
phased compliance time.
    Rolls-Royce stated that air intake cowls that previously had parts
replaced with the applicable kits would only need to be replaced again
within 144 months since the last replacement, or according to the
phased compliance times specified in paragraph (h) of the NPRM (77 FR
69242, October 19, 2012), whichever is later. Rolls-Royce stated the
compliance times specified in paragraph (g) of the NPRM would penalize
the operators that had previously performed the required actions.
    We agree with the commenters' requests to revise the specified
compliance time. Operators that had previously replaced air intake cowl
parts should not be penalized by having to comply with this AD sooner
than operators that had not done any replacement. For consistency with
the compliance time recommended by the manufacturer, we have removed
the phrase ``or within 12 months after the effective date of this AD,
whichever is later'' in paragraph (g) of this final rule and replaced
it with the phrase ``or according to the applicable time specified in
paragraphs (h)(1) through (h)(12) of this AD, whichever is later.''

Requests To Allow Repairs Using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
Data

    AAL and FedEx requested the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012)
contain a statement about future repairs allowing operators the ability
to do structural repairs of the forward bulkhead using OEM/owner/
operator manuals and specifications using OEM/owner/operator
manufactured replacement parts in the event of a premature forward
bulkhead failure.
    Clarification is needed regarding allowing operators to do future
structural repairs of the forward bulkhead. We infer from the comments
that the commenters are requesting to perform bulkhead repairs without
the need to apply for approval of AMOCs to do those repairs. After
accomplishing the actions required by this AD, future maintenance and/
or preventive maintenance under 14 CFR part 43 is permitted provided
the maintenance does not result in changing the AD-mandated
configuration (reference 14 CFR 39.7).
    For repairs that do change the AD-mandated configuration, paragraph
(l)(3) of this AD allows repair methods to be approved by Boeing
Commercial Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) that
has been

authorized by the Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
to make those findings. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Requests for Correction of Typographical Error

    Boeing, FedEx, AAL, and US Airways requested we correct ``535EX''
cowls to ``535E4X'' cowls for referring to air intake cowls that have
been modified using Bombardier Aerospace STC ST02102NY (http://
rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory--and--Guidance--Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
256325188c3b1f2f8625705f004dd977/$FILE/ST02102NY.pdf) in paragraphs
(g), (h), and (i) of the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012). FedEx
stated this typo also exists in the Relevant Service Information
section of the preamble of the NPRM.
    We agree. We have changed paragraphs (g), (g)(1), and (h) of this
final rule to refer to ``535E4X'' cowls. In addition, we removed the
introductory phrase that appeared in paragraph (i) of the NPRM (77 FR
69242, October 19, 2012), which included the incorrect cowl reference.
However, because the Relevant Service Information section is not
restated in the preamble of this final rule, we have not made any
change to the preamble of this final rule in that regard.

Requests for a Way To Clearly Identify Air Intake Cowls

    AAL and FedEx requested a clear means of identifying E4X air intake
cowls on which Bombardier Aerospace STC ST02102NY (http://rgl.faa.gov/
Regulatory--and--Guidance--Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
256325188c3b1f2f8625705f004dd977/$FILE/ST02102NY.pdf) has been applied
to the air intake cowl. AAL and FedEx stated, in two cases where
Bombardier Aerospace STC ST02102NY was applied to AAL's air intake
cowl, the data plate should have been labeled ``CSRSCH1001,'' but it
was not. AAL stated that, if the data plate does not reflect it, the
operator should contact Bombardier to determine if a particular serial
number nose cowl had the STC applied.
    We infer from AAL's and FedEx's statements that, if air intake
cowls modified by Bombardier Aerospace STC ST02102NY (http://
rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory--and--Guidance--Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
256325188c3b1f2f8625705f004dd977/$FILE/ST02102NY.pdf) are not clearly
identified, an operator could inadvertently use the wrong service
bulletin. If the data plate does not clearly identify the air intake
cowl as an E4X cowl, an operator must determine the correct
identification through the airplane's records. We agree with AAL's
comment that contacting the holder of the STC might be an appropriate
means to determine if the air intake cowl is one that had the STC
applied. No change has been made to this final rule in this regard.

Request To Allow Use of Undrilled Parts

    AAL requested that the referenced service information be revised to
allow the use of undrilled parts in place of certain drilled parts. AAL
noted that Bombardier has delivered kits that included the correct part
with no pilot holes.
    We do not agree to delay issuance of this final rule until revised
service information can be approved and released. However, we agree
with the commenter's request to allow use of undrilled parts. After our
discussion with the manufacturers, we have determined the following
parts are acceptable for use: undrilled attachment angles and
attachment angle joints having a part number with a suffix `U';
undrilled attachment angles, attachment angle joints, diaphragm
segments and reinforcing plate that have a trim allowance left, having
a part number with a suffix `S'; and rib stiffeners, with pilot holes
and trim allowance left, that have a part number with a suffix `S.'
These separate/loose kit parts used for accomplishment of this final
rule must be undrilled or with just the pilot holes present prior to
modification. While accomplishing the repair, the final size holes must
be drilled and, where applicable, the parts must be trimmed with
reference to the removed parts or to the retained existing structure.
    We have added a new paragraph (k) to this final rule to allow the
use of certain undrilled parts, undrilled parts with trim allowance
remaining, or parts with pilot holes and trim allowance remaining that
are supplied as separate/loose kit parts, and that have a part number
with an `S' or `U' suffix in place of the plain part number specified
in Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-AG698,
excluding Appendix 1 and including Appendices 2, 3, and 4, Revision 2,
dated June 20, 2013; and Bombardier Alert Non-Modification Service
Bulletin RB211-E4-A1003, Revision 3, dated February 4, 2014. We have
redesignated subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Requests for Removing Non-Existent Engine Reference

    Boeing and Rolls-Royce requested we remove the reference to ``-
535E4X'' engines from paragraph (c) of the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October
19, 2012).
    We agree with the commenters' request. There are no engines with a
-535E4X designation. Therefore, we have removed the reference to -
535E4X engines from paragraph (c) of this final rule.

Request To Reference Air Intake Cowl Part Numbers and Serial Numbers

    Boeing requested we revise the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012)
to reference the inlet cowl part number and serial number series
instead of the Dyna-Rohr standard and the Bombardier standard when
referring to the different inlet configurations in paragraphs (g)(2)
and (g)(3) of the NPRM. Boeing stated this provides positive
identification of the inlet configurations.
    We disagree with the request. Proper identification of part and
serial numbers will avoid confusion for compliance with this final
rule. However, inserting all the specific part and serial numbers in
this final rule would duplicate required information that is already
contained in the referenced service information. No change has been
made to this final rule in this regard.

Request To Revise Certain Terminology

    US Airways requested we change the word ``replace'' to the word
``repair'' in the identification of affected airplanes in paragraph (g)
of the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012). Also, US Airways requested
we change the terms ``replacement of the air intake cowl,''
``replacement,'' and ``replace,'' in multiple locations of the NPRM to
``accomplishment of the applicable service bulletin on the inlet
cowl.''
    US Airways stated that the word ``repair'' is a more accurate
description of the action taken on the inlet cowl to incorporate the
referenced service information. US Airways stated that clarifying the
wording would aid operators in tracking accomplishment of the NPRM (77
FR 69242, October 19, 2012), and added that the wording change would
prevent confusion between requiring the replacement of the forward
bulkhead parts versus replacement of the inlet cowl itself.
    We partially agree. We disagree with changing the term ``replaced''
to ``repaired'' because that change in terminology is inaccurate. We
agree that this final rule should be modified because accomplishment of
the applicable service information on an air intake cowl addresses the
unsafe condition. We, therefore, have revised paragraphs (g) and (h) of
this final rule by adding the words, ``replace the air intake cowl with
a cowl which has had

the forward bulkhead assembly, TAI spray ring assembly, and associated
attachment fittings of the air intake cowl replaced using a kit or new
parts,'' to provide a more accurate description of what is required.

Request for Credit Using Unpublished Service Information

    UAL requested credit for work for previous inspections and repairs
on affected cowls using Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service
Bulletin RB.211-71-AG242 (no revision or date given). UAL stated this
service information recommends an extension of 72 months for the
initial repetitive replacement. UAL stated that over fifty percent of
its inlets have been repaired or overhauled, and most air intake cowl
inlets have had the bulkhead inspected and cracks repaired by
replacement of individual structural parts.
    We disagree. The only applicable and allowable service information
for Model 757 airplanes with Rolls-Royce engines is Rolls-Royce Alert
Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-AG698. Rolls-Royce has
informed us that Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin
RB.211-71-AG242 was never officially published. We have not reviewed
that service information to determine whether it is equivalent to
Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-AG698.
Thus, we cannot provide credit for work that was accomplished using
Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-AG242.
For operators having sufficient repair records for the bulkhead
assembly of an air intake cowl, paragraph (l) of this AD provides the
opportunity to request approval of an AMOC if data are presented that
show that previous work accomplished was equivalent to the work
specified by Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin
RB.211-71-AG698. We have not changed this final rule in this regard.

Request for Credit Through Extension of Compliance Time

    FedEx requested credit for any previous inspections or repairs by
being allowed an extension of the compliance time proposed in the NPRM
(77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012). FedEx stated that all of its inlet
cowls had been inspected and any damage to inlet cowl bulkheads had
been repaired during regular maintenance intervals.
    We disagree with the commenter's request because we do not know if
previous repairs or inspections are equivalent to the requirements
specified by this final rule. For operators having sufficient repair
records for the bulkhead assembly of an air intake cowl, paragraph (l)
of this AD provides the opportunity to request approval of an AMOC if
data are presented that show that previous work accomplished is
equivalent to the work specified in Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification
Service Bulletin RB.211-71-AG698. We have not changed this final rule
in this regard.

Request To Revise Service Bulletin Citation

    Rolls-Royce requested we revise the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19,
2012) to refer to the Rolls-Royce RB.211-71-AG698 publication as
``Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-
AG698.''
    We agree with the commenter's request because the service
information includes the words ``Alert Non-Modification'' in the title.
We have revised the title of the Rolls-Royce service information
throughout this final rule accordingly. We have also changed the
reference to the Bombardier RB211-E4-A1003 publication to ``Bombardier
Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB211-E4-A1003,'' in a similar
manner, throughout this final rule.

Requests To Allow the Use of Later Revisions of Service Information

    FedEx and AAL requested that the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19,
2012) contain a general statement allowing the use of subsequent FAA-
approved revisions of the service information as acceptable methods of
compliance for the NPRM.
    We disagree with the commenters' request. Allowing the use of later
revisions of service documents in an AD is not allowed by the Office of
the Federal Register regulations for approving materials incorporated
by reference. Affected operators may, however, request approval to use
a later revision of referenced service information as an AMOC in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (l) of this final
rule. We have not changed this final rule in this regard.

Requests To Resolve Issues Relating to Warranty Coverage and Published
Cost Data

    AAL and FedEx requested that warranty considerations be included in
the Costs of Compliance of the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012) to
remove the economic burden of the NPRM on the operators. AAL, UAL, and
FedEx stated that the bulkhead is a flawed design. UAL stated that to
replace the flawed bulkhead every 144 months with a bulkhead of the
same flawed design is expensive and does not solve the inherent design
problem. FedEx and AAL noted that the cost of parts kits purchased from
Bombardier is unreasonably high, and that Bombardier charges higher
costs for kits if an operator does not use Bombardier's services and
facilities to perform the work. FedEx added that the NPRM (77 FR 69242,
October 19, 2012) addresses a safety issue and that parts costs should
not be governed by business tactics or profits.
    We find that no change to the final rule is necessary in this
regard. Warranties are not regulated by the FAA. We use manufacturer-
quoted parts costs provided in referenced service information in our
calculation of the Costs of Compliance. We are not aware of any
warranty remedies for the actions required by this final rule.

Statement Regarding the Installation of Winglets

    Aviation Partners Boeing (APB) stated that accomplishing the
supplemental type certificate STC ST01518SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/
Regulatory--and--Guidance--Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
48e13cdfbbc32cf4862576a4005d308b/$FILE/ST01518SE.pdf) does not affect
the actions specified in the NPRM (77 FR 64242, October 19, 2012).
    We concur with the commenter. We have redesignated paragraph (c) of
the NPRM as (c)(1) and added new paragraph (c)(2) to this final rule to
state that the designation of (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory--and--
Guidance--Library/rgstc.nsf/0/48e13cdfbbc32cf4862576a4005d308b/$FILE/
ST01518SE.pdf) does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions
required by this final rule. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC
ST01518SE is installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

Explanation of Change Made to This Final Rule

    We have changed paragraph (i) of this final rule to allow credit
for actions done before the effective date of this AD using Rolls-Royce
Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-71-AG698, dated October
14, 2011; and Revision 1, dated September 28, 2012.
    Since we issued the NPRM (77 FR 69242, October 19, 2012), we have
received updated service information from Bombardier. Bombardier Alert
Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB211-E4-A1003, Revision 3, dated
February 4, 2014, corrects part number

errors contained in previous service information.
    We also revised paragraph (i) of this AD to allow credit for
actions done previously using Bombardier Alert Non-Modification Service
Bulletin RB211-E4-A1003, dated June 27, 2012; Revision 1, dated August
15, 2012; and Revision 2, dated December 5, 2012, provided that where
this service information specifies part number LJ35479, quantity of
two, part numbers LJ50537 and LJ50538, quantity of one each, be used.
Also, where this service information specifies part number LJ35482, use
part number LJ50535, and where this service information specifies part
number LJ35483, use part number LJ50536.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 64242, October 19, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 64242, October 19, 2012).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action due to on-going investigation
into the nature, cause, and extent of the cracking. If final action is
later identified, based on the results of the investigation, we might
consider further rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 332 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    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 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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2014-09-07 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-17842; Docket No. FAA-
2012-1103; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-131-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective July 1, 2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -200PF,
-200CB, and -300 series airplanes, certificated in any category,
equipped with Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4, -535E4-B, and -535E4-C
engines; or with Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4, -535E4-B, and -535E4-C
engines that have air intake cowls that were modified by Bombardier
Aerospace Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST02102NY (http://
rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory--and--Guidance--Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
256325188c3b1f2f8625705f004dd977/$FILE/ST02102NY.pdf), commonly
known as 535E4X cowls.
    (2) Installation of supplemental type certificate (STC)
ST01518SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory--and--Guidance--Library/
rgstc.nsf/0/48e13cdfbbc32cf4862576a4005d308b/$FILE/ST01518SE.pdf)
does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by
this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01518SE is
installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 71, Powerplant.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of cracking of the forward
bulkhead web, web stiffeners, attachment angles, and thermal

anti-ice (TAI) spray ring assemblies of the engine air intake cowl.
We are issuing this AD to prevent the failure of air intake cowl
components due to cracking, which could result in the air intake
cowl separating from the engine and striking critical airplane
control surfaces that could result in a loss of airplane control;
severe engine damage, and loss of thrust; or large parts striking a
person or property on the ground.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Replacement of Air Intake Cowl Forward Bulkhead Assemblies
Previously Disassembled

    For airplanes on which the air intake cowls were replaced before
the effective date of this AD using a kit or parts identified in
paragraph (g)(1), (g)(2), or (g)(3) of this AD: Within 144 months
since replacement of the air intake cowl, or according to the
applicable time specified in paragraphs (h)(1) through (h)(l2) of
this AD, whichever is later, replace the air intake cowl with a cowl
which has had the forward bulkhead assembly, TAI spray ring
assembly, and associated attachment fittings of the air intake cowl
replaced using a kit or new parts, in accordance with the

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

 [Docket Nos. CP07-44-002; CP07-45-001]

Southeast Supply Header, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Amendment Hi Field Lateral
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

February 21, 2008.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the amendment Southeast Supply
Header (SESH) is proposing. The requested amendment would approve the
proposed Hi Fields Lateral Project, consisting of an 11-mile 16-inch
outside diameter natural gas lateral pipeline between the SESH mainline
pipeline in Mobile County, Alabama and the Daniel Electric Generating
Plant in Jackson County, Mississippi. Additional equipments would be
installed as part of the proposed amendment. The EA will be used by the
Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the
project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help determine which issues
need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period
will close on March 24, 2008. Details on how to submit comments are
provided in the Public Participation section of this notice.
    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government agencies; elected officials; Native American
tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers.
State and local government representatives are asked to notify their
constituents of this proposed project and to encourage them to comment
on their areas of concern.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' addresses a number
of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and
how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is available for
viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    SESH proposes to construct approximately 11 miles of new 16-inch
outside diameter natural gas pipeline that would be installed from the
SESH mainline pipeline in Mobile County, Alabama, extending directly in
a southwesterly direction to Southern Company's Daniel Electric
Generating Plan facilities in Jackson County, Mississippi. Description
of the proposed facilities will include the following:
     Approximately 11 miles of new 16-inch outside diameter
natural gas pipeline;
     installing a new gas chromatograph building and satellite
communications equipment within Southern Company existing Plant Daniel
meter and regulation (M&R) station, which is located within the Daniel
Electric Generating Plant; and
     installing two mainline valves on either end of the Hi
Fields lateral.
    All project activities would be contained in Mobile County Alabama,
and Jackson County Mississippi. Construction of the proposed project
would affect approximately 177 acres of land. The cost for constructing
the proposed project would be approximately $19.4 million.
    The general location of the proposed facilities is shown in
Appendix 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices are
available on the Commission's Web site at the ``eLibrary'' link or
from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary refer to the ``Additional Information''
section of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail. Requests for detailed maps
of the proposed facilities should be made directly to El Paso.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The EA Process

    We \2\ are preparing this EA to comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which requires the Commission to take
into account the environmental impact that could result if it
authorizes SESH's proposal. By this notice, we are also asking federal,
state, and local agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise
with respect to environmental issues to formally cooperate with us in
the preparation of the EA. These agencies may choose to participate
once they have evaluated the proposal relative to their
responsibilities. Additional agencies that would like to request
cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the FERC's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NEPA also requires the FERC to discover and address concerns the
public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as
``scoping.'' The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the
analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By this
Notice of Intent, we are requesting public comments on the scope of the
issues to address in the EA. All comments received are considered
during the preparation of the EA.
    The EA will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the
construction and operation of the proposed project under these general
headings:

 Geology and soils
 Land use
 Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands
 Cultural resources
 Vegetation and wildlife
 Air quality and noise
 Endangered and threatened species

    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project
or portions of the project, where necessary, and make recommendations
on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending
on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be
published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies, public
interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners,
newspapers, libraries, and the Commission's official service list for
this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA
is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make
our recommendations to the Commission.
    To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the
instructions in the Public Participation section below.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. By becoming a commentor, your
concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission.
You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the
proposal, alternatives to the proposal including alternative compressor
station sites, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact.
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Please
carefully follow

these instructions to ensure that your comments are received in time
and properly recorded:
     Send an original and two copies of your letter to:
Kimberley D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First St., NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426;
     Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas
Branch 2, PJ-11.2;
     Reference Docket No. CP07-44-002 & CP07-45-001; and
     Mail your comments so that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before March 24, 2008.
    The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments. See 18
Code of Federal Regulations 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on
the Commission's Internet Web site at http://www.ferc.gov under the
``eFiling'' link and the link to the User's Guide. Prepare your
submission in the same manner as you would if filing on paper and save
it to a file on your hard drive. Before you can file comments you will
need to create an account by clicking on ``Login to File'' and then
``New User Account.'' You will be asked to select the type of filing
you are making. This filing is considered a ``Comment on Filing.''
    We may mail the EA for public comment. If you are interested in
receiving it, please return the Information Request (Appendix 2). If
you do not return the Information Request, you will be taken off the
mailing list.

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an official party to the proceeding, or ``intervenor''. To
become an intervenor you must file a motion to intervene according to
Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
385.214). Intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the
Commission's decision. Motions to Intervene should be electronically
submitted using the Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov.
Persons without Internet access should send an original and 14 copies
of their motion to the Secretary of the Commission at the address
indicated previously. Persons filing Motions to Intervene on or before
the comment deadline indicated above must send a copy of the motion to
the Applicant. All filings, including late interventions, submitted
after the comment deadline must be served on the Applicant and all
other intervenors identified on the Commission's service list for this
proceeding. Persons on the service list with e-mail addresses may be
served electronically; others must be served a hard copy of the filing.
    Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be
granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they
have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be
adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor
status to have your environmental comments considered.

Environmental Mailing List

    An effort is being made to send this notice to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially
affected by the proposed project. This includes all landowners who own
homes within distances defined in the Commission's regulations of
certain aboveground facilities.
