14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2019-0319; Product Identifier 2019-NM-005-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-07-
05, which applies to all Airbus Model A300 B2, A300 B4, A300 B4-600,
and A300 B4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 F4-605R airplanes. AD
2002-07-05 requires repetitive inspections for cracking of certain
fittings, corrective action if necessary, and, for certain airplanes, a
modification. AD 2002-07-05 also provides an optional terminating
action for the repetitive inspections. Since we issued AD 2002-07-05,
we determined that, for certain airplanes, the existing inspection
compliance times were not sufficient to address the unsafe condition
and needed to be reduced. This proposed AD would require repetitive
inspections for cracking of certain fittings, corrective actions if
necessary, and, for certain airplanes, a modification, as specified in
an European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which will be
incorporated by reference. We are proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 24, 2019.

Discussion

    We issued AD 2002-07-05, Amendment 39-12699 (67 FR 16983, April 9,
2002) (``AD 2002-07-05''), for all Airbus Model A300 B2, A300 B4, A300
B4-600, and A300 B4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 F4-605R
airplanes. AD 2002-07-05 requires repetitive inspections for cracking
of certain fittings, corrective action if necessary, and, for certain
airplanes, a modification. AD 2002-07-05 also provides an optional
terminating action for the repetitive inspections. AD 2002-07-05
resulted from reports of cracked frame (FR) 40 aft fittings at stringer
33 on the left and right sides of the fuselage. The cracking has been
attributed to local stress concentrations at the upper flange runout of
FR40. We issued AD 2002-07-05 to address propagation of cracks on the
FR40 aft fittings due to local stress concentrations at the upper
flange runout of FR40, which could result in reduced structural
integrity of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2002-07-05 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2002-07-05, we determined that, for certain
airplanes, the existing inspection compliance times were not sufficient
to address the unsafe condition and needed to be reduced.
    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0011R1, dated February 22, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0011R1'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A300 series

airplanes; Model A300 B4-600 series airplanes; Model A300 B4-600R
series airplanes; and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes; and
certain Model A300 F4-605R airplanes. The MCAI states:

    After embodiment of Airbus SB [service bulletin] A300-53-0161,
cracks were reported on three aeroplanes. Investigations highlighted
that these cracks were caused by a local stress concentration at
FR40 upper flange run-out, where the profile of the FR40 changes at
the centre wing box connection.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could affect the
structural integrity of the aeroplane.
    Subsequently to this finding, Airbus established a High
Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection program for A300 aeroplanes
implemented in service through Airbus SB A300-53-0296. In the same
time, Airbus launched mod. 10430 in production line associated to SB
A300-53-6048 for the retrofit campaign for A300-600. The same HFEC
inspection program was defined for A300-600 aeroplanes and included
in SB A300-53-6048 instructions.
    [Direction Generale de l'Aviation Civile] DGAC France AD F-1998-
481-270 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2002-07-05] was published to
mandate the embodiment of these two SBs.
    DGAC France AD F-2000-038-032 was also published later to
mandate Airbus SB A300-53-9017 applicable to A300-600ST aeroplanes.
    Since DGAC France AD F-1998-481-270 and F-2000-038-032 were
issued, material data used in the frame of fatigue and damage
tolerance analysis has been changed. It was determined that the
existing threshold and interval values must be reduced for A300-600
and A300-600ST fleet. Consequently, Airbus revised SB A300-53-6048
to Revision 05 and SB A300-53-9017 to Revision 02 to take into
account the new thresholds and intervals.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirement of DGAC France AD F-1998-481-270R2 and F-2000-038-032R1,
which are superseded, and introduces new thresholds and intervals
for A300-600 and A300-600ST aeroplanes.
    This [EASA] AD is revised to correct a typo in the
Applicability, introduces Tables 1a and 1b, replacing original Table
1, to clarify inspection compliance times, and removes Note 1. This
revised [EASA] AD also grants credit for actions accomplished using
previous revisions of the applicable SB.

    For the Model A300-600 airplanes (Model A300 B4-600 series
airplanes; Model A300 B4-600R series airplanes; Model A300 C4-605R
Variant F airplanes; and Model A300 F4-605R airplanes) that are pre-
modification 10430, the initial compliance time is before 7,700 total
flight cycles. For the Model A300-600 airplanes that are post-
modification 10430, the initial compliance time is before 21,100 total
flight cycles. For Model A300 series airplanes, the initial compliance
time is between 10,500 total flight cycles and 14,000 total flight
cycles, depending on configuration.

Explanation of Retained Requirements

    Although this proposed AD does not explicitly restate the
requirements of AD 2002-07-05, this proposed AD would retain certain
requirements of AD 2002-07-05. Those requirements are referenced in
EASA AD 2019-0011R1, which, in turn, is referenced in paragraph (g) of
this proposed AD.

Explanation of Change to Terminating Action

    Paragraph (e) of AD 2002-07-05 states that accomplishment of the
modification specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-6053,
Revision 1, dated October 31, 1995; or Revision 02, dated June 2, 1999;
or Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-0297, Revision 2, dated October 31,
1995; terminates the requirements of AD 2002-07-05. However, EASA AD
2019-0011R1 does not include terminating action. Therefore, this
proposed AD would not include that terminating action.

Explanation of Change to Credit Service Information

    Note 2 of AD 2002-07-05 provides credit for actions accomplished
using Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-6048, dated January 16, 1996.
However, EASA AD 2019-0011R1 does not include credit for Airbus Service
Bulletin A300-53-6048, dated January 16, 1996. Therefore, this proposed
AD would not include that credit.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0011R1 describes procedures for modifying the profile
of the FR40 aft fittings for certain airplanes, repetitive HFEC
inspections for cracking of certain fittings, corrective actions for
any cracking found, and reporting inspections findings. 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, and it is publicly available through the EASA
website.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced
above. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all pertinent
information and determined an unsafe condition exists and is likely to
exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2019-0011R1 described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD. This proposed AD also would require sending
the inspection results to Airbus SAS.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a process to
use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information for
compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. As a result,
EASA AD 2019-0011R1 will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final
rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with the
provisions specified in EASA AD 2019-0011R1, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Service information specified in EASA AD 2019-0011R1 that is required
for compliance with EASA AD 2019-0011R1 will be available on the
internet http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2019-0319 after the FAA final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 66 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                         Estimated Costs for Required Actions *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Action                            Labor cost              Parts cost           Cost per  product             Cost on U.S.  operators
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retained actions from AD 2002-07-05...  Up to 102 work-hours x $85 per            $874  Up to $9,544...................  Up to $629,904.
                                         hour = $8,670.
New proposed actions..................  Up to 37 work[dash]hours x $85           2,550  Up to $5,695...................  Up to $375,870.
                                         per hour = $3,145.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting.

    We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the proposed reporting requirement in this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S. operators to be
$5,610, or $85 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition action specified in this proposed
AD.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this NPRM is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this NPRM has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this NPRM is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the
Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13   [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2002-07-05, Amendment 39-12699 (67 FR 16983, April 9, 2002), and adding
the following new AD:

Airbus SAS: Docket No. FAA-2019-0319; Product Identifier 2019-NM-
005-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by June 24, 2019.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces 2002-07-05, Amendment 39-12699 (67 FR 16983,
April 9, 2002) (``AD 2002-07-05'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model airplanes specified in
paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of this AD, certificated in any
category, as identified in European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD
2019-0011R1, dated February 22, 2019 (``EASA AD 2019-00R1'').
    (1) Model A300 B2-1A, B2-1C, B2K-3C, B2-203, B4-2C, B4-103, and
B4-203 airplanes.
    (2) Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-620, and B4-622 airplanes.
    (3) Model A300 B4-605R and B4-622R airplanes.
    (4) Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes.
    (5) Model A300 F4-605R airplanes.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53, Fuselage.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of cracked frame (FR) 40 aft
fittings at stringer 33 on the left and right sides of the fuselage,
and a determination that the existing inspection compliance times
were not sufficient to address the unsafe condition and needed to be
reduced. We are issuing this AD to address propagation of cracks on
the FR40 aft fittings due to local stress concentrations at the
upper flange runout of FR40, which could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, EASA AD 2019-0011R1.

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2019-0011R1

    (1) For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements
of this AD: Where EASA AD 2019-0011R1 refers to its effective date,
or February 6, 2019 (the effective date of EASA AD 2019-0011, dated
January 23, 2019) this AD requires using the effective date of this
AD.
    (2) The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2019-0011R1 does not
apply to this AD.
    (3) Paragraphs (7) and (8) of EASA AD 2018-0011R1 specify to
report inspection results to Airbus within a certain compliance
time. For this AD, report inspection results at the applicable time
specified in paragraph (h)(3)(i) or (h)(3)(ii) of this AD.
    (i) If the inspection was done on or after the effective date of
this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the inspection.
    (ii) If the inspection was done before the effective date of
this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the effective date
of this AD.

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
directly to the International Section, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (j)(2) of this AD. Information
may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (i) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (ii) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2002-07-05 are approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of EASA AD 2019-0011R1 that
are required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International
Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus SAS's
EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the
approval must include the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): For any service information
referenced in EASA AD 2019-0011R1 that contains RC procedures and
tests: Except as required by paragraph (i)(2) of this AD, RC
procedures and tests must be done to comply with this AD; any
procedures or tests that are not identified as RC are recommended.
Those procedures and tests that are not identified as RC may be
deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with the
operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining
approval of an AMOC, provided the procedures and tests identified as
RC can be done and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition. Any substitutions or changes to procedures or tests
identified as RC require approval of an AMOC.
    (4) Paperwork Reduction Act Burden Statement: A federal agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information
displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number
for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public reporting for
this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 1
hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
completing and reviewing the collection of information. All
responses to this collection of information are mandatory. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing
the burden should be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. EL11-38-000]

Cobb Customer Requesters v. Cobb Electric Membership Corporation,
Cobb Energy Management Corporation, Cooperative Energy Inc.,
Power4Georgians LLC, Dwight T. Brown, W.T. Nelson III; Notice of
Complaint

    Take notice that on April 26, 2011, Cobb Customer Requesters (CCR
or Complainant) filed a complaint against Cobb Electric Membership
Corporation (Cobb EMC), Cobb Energy Management Corporation (Cobb
Energy), Cooperative Energy Inc. (CEI), Power4Georgians LLC (P4G), Mr.
Dwight T. Brown and Mr. W.T. Nelson III (Respondents). CCR requests the
Commission institute an investigation into alleged acts involving the
failure to comply with the Federal Power Act and the Commission's
regulations. In support of its complaint and request for investigation,
CCR points to what it identifies as a series of misstatements,
omissions and inaccurate filings with the Commission in relation to
Cobb EMC's, and its affiliate, CEI's, request for and the Commission's
authorization of market-based rate authorization, and the request for
and the Commission's authorization of the holding of interlocking

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2019-0048; Product Identifier 2018-NE-19-AD; Amendment
39-19556; AD 2019-03-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Engine Alliance Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-11-16 for
all Engine Alliance (EA) GP7270 and GP7277 turbofan engines with a
certain engine fan hub assembly. AD 2018-11-16 required a one-time eddy
current inspection (ECI) of the engine fan hub blade slot bottom and
blade slot front edge for cracks, a visual inspection of the engine fan
hub assembly for damage, and removal of parts if damage or defects are
found that are outside serviceable limits. This AD retains these
requirements, but expands the population of affected engine fan hub
assemblies and revises the compliance time for the inspections. This AD
was prompted by the FAA's determination that inspections need to be
expanded to all EA GP7270 and GP7277 turbofan engines. We are issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective March 6, 2019.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of March 6,
2019.
    We must receive comments on this AD by April 5, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued AD 2018-11-16, Amendment 39-19304 (83 FR 27891, June 15,
2018), (``AD 2018-11-16''), for certain EA GP7270 and GP7277 turbofan
engines. AD 2018-11-16 required a one-time ECI of the engine fan hub
blade slot bottom and blade slot front edge for cracks, a visual
inspection of the engine fan hub assembly for damage, and removal of
parts if damage or defects are found that are outside serviceable
limits. AD 2018-11-16 resulted from an uncontained failure of the
engine fan hub assembly. We issued AD 2018-11-16 to detect defects,
damage, and cracks that could result in an uncontained failure of the
engine fan hub assembly.

Actions Since AD 2018-11-16 was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2018-11-16, we determined that inspections need
to be expanded to all EA GP7270 and GP7277 turbofan engines with a
certain engine fan hub assembly because all engines are subject to the
unsafe condition. As a result, EA published EA Alert Service Bulletin
(ASB) EAGP7-A72-389, Revision No. 3, dated October 18, 2018, to expand
the population of engine fan hub assemblies that require inspection. We
also determined that we could remove the EA GP7272 turbofan engine from
the Applicability paragraph of this AD because the engine was not
manufactured. The Applicability paragraph of this AD aligns with the EA
service information. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed EA ASB EAGP7-A72-389, Revision No. 3, dated October 18,
2018. The ASB describes procedures for ECI and visual inspection of the
GP7270

and GP7277 engine fan hub assembly. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business or by the means identified in
the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

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

AD Requirements

    This AD requires a one-time ECI of the GP7270 and GP7277 engine fan
hub blade slot bottom and blade slot front edge for cracks, a visual
inspection of the engine fan hub assembly for damage, and removal of
the engine fan hub assembly if damage or defects are found that are
outside of serviceable limits.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    No domestic operators use this product. Therefore, we find good
cause that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
unnecessary. In addition, for the reason stated above, we find that
good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30
days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments before it becomes effective. However, we invite
you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this final
rule. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES
section. Include the docket number FAA-2019-0048 and product identifier
2018-NE-19-AD at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite
comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy
aspects of this final rule. We will consider all comments received by
the closing date and may amend this final rule because of those
comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this final rule.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects zero engines installed on
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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

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.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP10-165-000]

Cameron LNG, LLC; Notice of Application

May 5, 2010.
    On April 22, 2010, Cameron LNG, LLC filed with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission) an application under Section 3(a) of
the Natural Gas Act to install spare natural gas pipeline compression
facilities at the site of its existing liquefied natural gas terminal
in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
    Questions concerning this application may be directed to William D.
Rapp, Senior Regulatory Counsel at Cameron LNG, LLC, 101 Ash Street,
HQ-12, San Diego, CA 92101 or by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify Federal and State agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all Federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance

with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA
(18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the
service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other
parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other
party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for
court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://
www.fere.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426. This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov using
the ``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On April 3, 2012, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled: Special Local Regulation and Security Zone: War of
1812 Bicentennial Commemoration, Port of Boston, Massachusetts; in the
Federal Register (77 FR 19963). Two comments were received in the
proposed rule's docket:
     One comment was accidentally misfiled from an unrelated
FAA regulation and did not pertain to our proposed rulemaking. It has
since been removed from the docket for this rule by the Docket
Management System.
     One comment asked simply ``Will there be any provisions
for Press Boats for the event? If so how should the vessel be flagged
or identified as such?'' The Coast Guard recommends that a boat with
members of the media onboard, display something with the word ``MEDIA''
that is visible to other vessels.
    No public meeting was requested of the Coast Guard, and none was
held.
    The event sponsor hosted a planning and coordination meeting that
was open to the public on October 12, 2011 and held an Initial Planning
Conference on February 14-15, 2012 and a mid-term planning conference
on May 8, 2012 in

Boston, MA. Recommendations to employ a similar pattern to that which
was used during the Sail Boston 2009 events were received during this
meeting; such recommendations are incorporated into this document.
    Additionally, informal discussions were held with port stakeholders
in December 2011, January, March, April, and May 2012 during the
Boston's Port Operators Group monthly Meetings, and comments
recommending the use of traffic patterns the way they were used during
Sail Boston 2009 have been addressed.
    On January 26, 2012 the Coast Guard briefed federal, state, and
local government agencies to update them on Coast Guard planning for
the War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration Events. This meeting was
also attended by several local business leaders. Nothing discussed at
this meeting impacted the drafting of this proposed regulation.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Any delay in the effective date of
this rule could jeopardize the safety of life on navigable waters and
protection of U.S. and Foreign military vessels, U.S. and foreign
government sailing vessels, private vessels, spectators, and the Port
of Boston during these events.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231, 46
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; Public Law 107-295,
116 Stat. 2064; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No.
0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast Guard to define special
local regulations and security zones.
    The purpose of this rule is to promote the safe navigation of
vessels and the safety of life and property during the heavy volume of
vessel traffic expected in the Port of Boston during the War of 1812
Bicentennial Commemoration events.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The United States Navy is planning a series of events nationwide to
celebrate the commemoration of the War of 1812. The Port of Boston
events will occur between June 28 and July 6, 2012. The events will
consist of a gathering of U.S and foreign military vessels, U.S. and
foreign government sailing vessels mooring in various berths throughout
the Port of Boston.
    The War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration events are expected to
conform to the following outline of events:
    1. June 28-29--Multiple U.S. and foreign military vessels arrive;
    2. June 30: Arrival of the U.S. and foreign government sailing
vessels;
    3. June 28 through July 6: Security Zones in effect;
    4. June 30 through July 6: Public tours of U.S and Foreign military
vessels and U.S and foreign government sailing vessels;
    5. June 29 through July 6: Vessel movement control measures in
effect;
    6. July 4: USS CONSTITUTION and USCGC EAGLE Parade;
    7. July 4: USN Blue Angles aerial demonstration.
    On July 4, starting at 11 a.m. there will be salute to the USS
CONSITUTION and USCGC EAGLE as they sail from Constitution Pier,
outbound Boston Main Channel to Castle Island and return. This will be
followed by an air demonstration by the Navy's Blue Angels above Boston
Inner Harbor at approximately 12:15 p.m.

Special Local Regulations

    In the year 2009, a similar event, Sail Boston 2009, drew several
hundred thousand spectators by both land as well as water to Boston
Harbor.
    Recognizing the significant draw this event may have on
recreational boating traffic, the Coast Guard's is establishing a
special local regulation that would create vessel movement control
measures in Boston Harbor through a Regulated Area, which will be in
effect during the War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration events.
    This regulated area is needed for vessel movement control measures
and to facilitate law enforcement vessel access to support facilities.
Additionally, the regulated areas will protect the maritime public and
participating vessels from possible hazards to navigation associated
with dense vessel traffic.
    The Regulated Area establishes a counter-clockwise traffic pattern
around Boston Inner Harbor to ensure spectator vessels are following an
organized route, facilitating the smooth flow of boating traffic,
thereby minimizing disruption on the waterway. A Coast Guard Patrol
Commander (PATCOM) will be designated and on scene controlling the flow
of traffic through the Regulated Area.
    The waterway between the World Trade Center Pier and the Fish Pier,
as well as the waterway within the Reserved Channel do not constitute
large areas for unhindered navigation. Due to the navigation
restrictions in these waterways, when vessels over 125 feet enter the
area, on-scene patrol personnel will halt the flow of vessel traffic
and allow no other vessel in the channel until the vessel greater than
125 feet is clear of the narrow channel.
    Due to concerns of tenants at the World Trade Center, Fish Piers
and the Black Falcon Terminal, waterside viewing hours for vessels
berthed at these facilities will be limited to times specified in the
regulatory text, outside of which only vessels which are tenants within
the channels of the World Trade Center, Fish Pier and Reserved Channel
will be authorized access within those areas.
    A comment was received on the proposed ruling requesting to know
what provisions will be made to identify press boats. To help identify
a press boat, The Coast Guard recommends that a boat with members of
the media onboard, display something with the word ``MEDIA'' that is
visible to other vessels.

Security Zones

    Additionally, the Coast Guard is establishing 25-yard security
zones surrounding participating vessels while moored. The regulations
will be in effect in Boston Harbor throughout the effective period.
These restrictions are expected to minimize the risks associated with
the anticipated large number of recreational vessel traffic within the
confines of Boston Inner Harbor operating in conjunction with
commercial deep draft vessel traffic that pose a significant threat to
the safety of life.
    This rule is effective and will be enforced from 9 a.m. on June 29,
2012 to 6 p.m. on July 6, 2012.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) Executive Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under that Order.

    Although this regulation imposes traffic restrictions in portions
of Boston Harbor during the events, the effect of this regulation will
not be significant for the following reasons: the regulated area and
security zones will only be in place during the week long War of 1812
activities, and Extensive advance notice will be made to mariners via
appropriate means, which may include broadcast notice to mariners,
local notice to mariners, facsimile, marine safety information
bulletin, local Port Operators Group meetings, the Internet, USCG
Sector Boston Homeport Web page, and local newspapers and media. The
advance notice will permit mariners to adjust their plans accordingly.
Additionally, the regulated area is tailored to impose the least impact
on maritime interests without compromising safety.
    Similar restrictions were established for Sailing Boston 1992,
2000, and 2009 events. Based upon the Coast Guard's experiences from
those previous similar magnitude events, these regulations have been
narrowly tailored to impose the least impact on maritime interests yet
provide the necessary level of safety.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entitles during rulemaking. The Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    This rule would affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit, fish, or anchor in portions of Boston Harbor during various
times during the effective period.
    The rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the same reasons outlined in
the Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563 section above.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the would affect your small
business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

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

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that it does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

8. Taking of Private Property

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

9. Civil Justice Reform

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

10. Protection of Children

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

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``Significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves temporary security zones and a special
local regulation. This regulatory action is categorically excluded from
further environmental analysis and review paragraph 34(g) and (h)
respectively of figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist and Categorical Exclusion
Determination are available in the

docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

II. Background

    On June 6, 2017, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision
to renew exemptions for 134 individuals from the insulin-treated
diabetes mellitus prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) to operate a CMV
in interstate commerce and requested comments from the public (82 FR
26222). The public comment period ended on July 6, 2017 and one comment
was received.
    As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the
eligibility of these applicants and determined that renewing these
exemptions would achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding diabetes
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person:
    Has no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of
diabetes mellitus currently requiring insulin for control.

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received one comment in this preceding. Irenee Muluh stated
that she is in favor of renewing the exemptions for all 134 drivers in
this notice if they have remained compliant with the standards of the
program.

IV. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 134 renewal exemption applications
and comments received, FMCSA announces its' decision to exempt the
following drivers from the rule prohibiting drivers with ITDM from
driving CMVs in interstate commerce in 49 CFR 391.64(3):
    As of July 2, 2017, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
