SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Requirements for Generators, Transporters, and Hazardous Waste Management Facilities Under the RCRA Hazardous Waste Manifest System, OMB Control No. 2050   0039; EPA ICR No. 801.14) expiring 3/ 30/ 2002. This is an extension of a currently approved collection. Abstract: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ( RCRA), as amended, establishes a national program to assure that hazardous waste management practices are conducted in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment. EPA's authority to require compliance with the manifest system stems primarily from RCRA section 3002( a)( 5). This section mandates a hazardous waste manifest `` system'' to assure that all hazardous waste generated is designated for and arrives at the appropriate treatment, storage, and disposal facility. An essential part of this manifest system is the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest ( Form 8700   22A). The manifest is a tracking document that accompanies the waste from its generation site to its final disposition. The manifest lists the wastes that are being shipped and the final destination of the waste. The manifest system is a self enforcing mechanism that requires generators, transporters, and owner/ operators of treatment, storage, and disposal facilities to participate in hazardous waste tracking. In addition the manifest provides information to transporters and waste management facility workers on the hazardous nature of the waste, identifies wastes so that they can be managed appropriately in the event of an accident, spill, or leak, and ensures that shipments of hazardous waste are managed properly and delivered to their designated facilities. This system does not ordinarily involve intervention on the part of EPA unless hazardous wastes do not reach their point of disposition within a specified time frame. In most cases, RCRA authorized States operate the manifest system, and requirements may vary among authorized States. EPA believes manifest requirements and the resulting information collection mitigate potential hazards to human health and the environment by ensuring that hazardous waste is sent to and received by appropriate treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, by initiating appropriate response actions if a shipment does not reach its intended destination, and by providing necessary emergency response information in the event of an accident, spill, or leak during transportation. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The Agency notes that the burden hour and cost estimates given below are based on estimates approved by OMB during the 1999 ICR renewal process. The Agency did not have the most recent Biennial Reporting System ( BRS) information available at the time of completion of this ICR. The Agency will update these burden estimates using the most recent BRS information and publish the revised burden estimates in a second Federal Register notice. Affected entities will have an opportunity to comment on the revised burden estimates during a comment period for the second FR notice. EPA would like to solicit comments to: ( i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; ( ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; ( iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ( iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the VerDate 11< MAY> 2000 18: 09 Nov 26, 2001 Jkt 197001 PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 27NON1.

Notice of Availability for Draft Guidance on Source Determinations for Combined Heat and Power Facilities Under the Clean Air Act New Source Review and Title V Programs AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA). ACTION: Notice of availability; reopening of comment period.

SUMMARY: The EPA is hereby reopening for 15 days the public review and comment period regarding a preliminary draft of its pending guidance on Source Determinations for Combined Heat and Power ( CHP) Facilities under the Clean Air Act New Source Review and Title V Programs ( 66 FR 52403, October 15, 2001). The combined generation of heat and power, also known as cogeneration, has been an energy supply option for nearly 100 years and is used in many sectors of the economy. In light of ever increasing demand for energy, electric power industry restructuring and crossprogram pollution prevention initiatives, EPA is committed to improving the efficiency at which we convert fuels into useful energy. Properly designed and implemented CHP is a key element to achieving the nation's energy goals, because CHPs are capable of independently providing power to the grid or customers other than the host facility and therefore can help alleviate power shortfalls. Recognizing this, the Report of the National Energy Policy Development Group recommends `` that the President direct the EPA Administrator to promote CHP through flexibility in environmental permitting.'' A draft of EPA's guidance is available for public review and comment. The EPA does not intend to respond to individual comments, but rather to consider the comments from the public in the preparation of the final guidance. It is important that the draft guidance being made available today for public review and comment does not represent official EPA policy or a formal position on the subject matter discussed and therefore is not to be relied on in interpreting EPA policy.

DATES: The comment period on the draft guidance will close on December 12, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Pamela J. Smith, Information Transfer and Program Integration Division ( MD   12), Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, U. S. EPA, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711, telephone 919   541   0641, telefax 919   541   5509 or E mail smith. pam@ epa. gov.

(b) Test fuel specifications. Use a test fuel meeting the
specifications described in ICAO Appendix 4. The test fuel must not
have additives whose purpose is to suppress smoke, such as
organometallic compounds.
    (c) Test conditions. Prepare test engines by including accessories
that are available with production engines if they can reasonably be
expected to influence emissions.
    (1) The test engine may not extract shaft power or bleed service
air to provide power to auxiliary gearbox-mounted components required
to drive aircraft systems.
    (2) Test engines must reach a steady operating temperature before
the start of emission measurements.
    (d) Alternate procedures. In consultation with the EPA, the FAA may
approve alternate procedures for measuring emissions. This might
include testing and sampling methods, analytical techniques, and
equipment specifications that differ from those specified in this part.
An applicant for type certification may request this approval by
sending a written request with supporting justification to the FAA and
to the Designated EPA Program Officer. Such a request may be approved
only in the following circumstances:
    (1) The engine cannot be tested using the specified procedures.
    (2) The alternate procedure is shown to be equivalent to or better
(e.g., more accurate or precise) than the specified procedure.
    (e) LTO cycles. The following landing and take-off (LTO) cycles
apply for emission testing and calculating weighted LTO values:

    (f) Pollutant-specific test provisions. Use the following
provisions to demonstrate whether engines meet the applicable
standards:
    (1) Smoke number. Use the equipment and procedures specified in
ICAO Appendix 2 and ICAO Appendix 6. Test the engine at sufficient
thrust settings to determine and compute the maximum smoke number.
    (2) nvPM. Use the equipment and procedures specified in ICAO
Appendix 7 and ICAO Appendix 6, as applicable:
    (i) Maximum nvPM mass concentration. Test the engine at sufficient
thrust settings to determine and compute the maximum nvPM mass
concentration produced by the engine at any thrust setting, according
to the procedures of ICAO Appendix 7.
    (ii) LTO nvPM mass and number. Test the engine at sufficient thrust
settings to determine the engine's nvPM mass and nvPM number at the
rated output identified in table 1 to paragraph (e) of this section.
    (3) HC, CO, and NOX. Use the equipment and procedures specified in
ICAO Appendix 3, ICAO Appendix 5, and ICAO Appendix 6, as applicable.
Test the engine at sufficient thrust settings to determine the engine's
HC, CO, and NOX emissions at the rated output identified in
table 1 to paragraph (e) of this section.
    (4) CO2. Calculate CO2 emission values from
fuel mass flow rate measurements in ICAO Appendix 3 and ICAO Appendix 5
or, alternatively, according to the CO2 measurement criteria
in ICAO Appendix 3 and ICAO Appendix 5.
    (g) Characteristic level. The compliance demonstration consists of
establishing a mean value from testing some number of engines, then
calculating a ``characteristic level'' by applying a set of statistical
factors in ICAO Appendix 6 that take into account the number of engines
tested. Round each characteristic level to the same number of decimal
places as the corresponding standard. Engines

comply with an applicable standard if the testing results show that the
engine type certificate family's characteristic level does not exceed
the numerical level of that standard.
    (h) System loss corrected nvPM emission indices. Use the equipment
and procedures specified in ICAO Appendix 8, as applicable, to
determine system loss corrected nvPM emission indices.

Subpart C--Reporting and Recordkeeping

Sec.  1031.205  Definitions.

    The following definitions apply to this part. Any terms not defined
in this section have the meaning given in the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7401-7671q). The definitions follow:
    Aircraft has the meaning given in 14 CFR 1.1, a device that is used
or intended to be used for flight in the air.
    Aircraft engine means a propulsion engine that is installed on or
that is manufactured for installation on an airplane for which
certification under 14 CFR is sought.
    Aircraft gas turbine engine means a turboprop, turbojet, or
turbofan aircraft engine.
    Airplane has the meaning given in 14 CFR 1.1, an engine-driven
fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by
the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings.
    Characteristic level has the meaning given in Appendix 6 of ICAO
Annex 16 (incorporated by reference, see Sec.  1031.210). The
characteristic level is a calculated emission level for each pollutant
based on a statistical assessment of measured emissions from multiple
tests.
    Date of manufacture means the date on which a manufacturer is
issued documentation by FAA (or other recognized airworthiness
authority for engines certificated outside the United States) attesting
that the given engine conforms to all applicable requirements. This
date may not be earlier than the date on which engine assembly is
complete. Where the manufacturer does not obtain such documentation
from FAA (or other recognized airworthiness authority for engines
certificated outside the United States), date of manufacture means the
date of final engine assembly.
    Derivative engine for emissions certification purposes means an
engine that has the same or similar emissions characteristics as an
engine covered by a U.S. type certificate issued under 14 CFR part 33.
These characteristics are specified in Sec.  1031.130.
    Designated EPA Program Officer means the Director of the Assessment
and Standards Division, 2000 Traverwood Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan
48105.
    Emission index means the quantity of pollutant emitted per unit of
fuel mass used.
    Engine model means an engine manufacturer's designation for an
engine grouping of engines and/or engine sub-models within a single
engine type certificate family, where such engines have similar design,
including being similar with respect to the core engine and combustor
designs.
    Engine sub-model means a designation for a grouping of engines with
essentially identical design, especially with respect to the core
engine and combustor designs and other emission-related features.
Engines from an engine sub-model must be contained within a single
engine model. For purposes of this part, an original engine model
configuration is considered a sub-model. For example, if a manufacturer
initially produces an engine model designated ABC and later introduces
a new sub-model ABC-1, the engine model consists of two sub-models: ABC
and ABC-1.
    Engine type certificate family means a group of engines (comprising
one or more engine models, including sub-models and derivative engines
for emissions certification purposes of those engine models) determined
by FAA to have a sufficiently common design to be grouped together
under a type certificate.
    EPA means the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
    Except means to routinely allow engines to be manufactured and sold

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on our proposed collection of certain
information. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the

PRA), Federal Agencies must publish a notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each
proposed reinstatement of an existing collection of information and
allow 60 days for public comment. This notice invites comments on a
voluntary consumer survey entitled, ``Food Safety Survey.''

DATES: Submit either written or electronic comments on the collection
of information by December 31, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50-400B, Rockville,
MD 20850<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed reinstatement of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, we are publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, we invite
comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of our functions,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the
accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of
automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.

Food Safety Survey--(OMB Control Number 0910-0345)--Reinstatement

I. Background

    Under section 903(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(21 U.S.C. 393(b)(2)), we are authorized to conduct research relating
to foods and to conduct educational and public information programs
relating to the safety of the nation's food supply. The Food Safety
Survey measures consumers' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about food
safety. Previous versions of the survey were collected in 1988, 1993,
1998, 2001, 2006, and 2010. Data from the previous Food Safety Surveys
and from this proposed survey will be used to evaluate two Healthy
People 2020 objectives: (1) Increase the proportion of consumers who
follow key food safety practices (Objective FS-5), and (2) reduce
severe allergic reactions to food among adults with a food allergy
diagnosis (Objective FS-4) (Ref. 1). Data from this survey will also be
used to measure progress toward the United States Department of
Agriculture's Food Safety Inspection Service's FY2011-FY2016 Strategic
Plan goal of ensuring that, ``Consumers, including vulnerable and
underserved populations, adopt food safety best practices'' (Ref. 2).
Additionally, Food Safety Survey data are used to measure trends in
consumer food safety habits including hand and cutting board washing,
cooking practices, and use of food thermometers. Finally, data are used
to evaluate educational messages and to inform policymakers about
consumer attitudes about technologies such as food irradiation and
biotechnology.
    The proposed Food Safety Survey will contain many of the same
questions and topics as previous Food Safety Surveys to facilitate
measuring trends in food safety knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors
over time. The proposed survey will also be updated to explore emerging
consumer food safety topics and expand understanding of previously
asked topics. For example, recent papers in both the United States
(Ref. 3) and Europe (Refs. 4 and 5) have pointed to changing
epidemiology of listeriosis where adults over 60 years old have the
highest rates of the illness. One reason for the increase in
listeriosis rates among those over 60 years old could be increasing
host susceptibility due to widened use of immunocompromising
medications. We plan to include questions on the proposed survey to
document the proportion of those over 60 years old who self-report
taking a defined list of major immunocompromising medications. In
conjunction with our established questions about safe food handling and
eating potentially risky foods, the additional questions will expand
our understanding of listeriosis among those over 60. Other new topics
planned to be covered on the survey include: Consumer understanding of
mechanically tenderized beef, awareness of foodborne pathogens such as
Toxoplasma gondii, and awareness of the risks associated with eating
raw sprouts.
    The methods for the proposed Food Safety Survey will be largely the
same as those used with the previous Food Safety Surveys. One major
difference is that, unlike the data collection mode for previous Food
Safety Surveys that used only land telephone lines, the proposed survey
will include cell phones in addition to landlines. A nationally
representative sample of 4,000 adults (2,400 landline and 1,600 cell
phone) will be selected at random for the telephone interviews. The
survey will also include an oversample of Hispanics and Blacks to
ensure a minimum of 400 each. Additionally, 50 non-respondents will be
asked to participate in a short version of the survey from which we
will conduct a non-response analysis. Participation in the survey will
be voluntary. Cognitive interviews and a pre-test will be conducted
prior to fielding the survey.
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2019-0267; FRL-10003-54-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Limited Maintenance Plans for the
1997 Ozone NAAQS; Evansville, Fort Wayne, Greene County, Jackson
County, Muncie, and Terre Haute Areas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
revision to Indiana's State Implementation Plan (SIP). The state
submitted an update to its 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS or standard) Limited Maintenance Plans (LMP)
for the Evansville, Fort Wayne, Greene County, Jackson County, Muncie,
and Terre Haute areas. The plans for these areas provide for the
maintenance of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS through the end of the
second 10-year portion of the maintenance period. This action makes
federally enforceable as part of the Indiana SIP certain commitments
related to maintenance of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS in these areas.
EPA proposed to approve this submission on August 19, 2019.

DATES: This final rule is effective on January 27, 2020.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R05-OAR-2019-0267. All documents in the docket are listed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever

``we,'' ``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary
information section is arranged as follows:

I. What is being addressed by this document?
II. What comments did we receive on the proposed SIP revision?
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What is being addressed by this document?

    On April 25, 2019, Indiana submitted a request to update its 1997
8-hour ozone NAAQS LMPs for the Evansville, Fort Wayne, Greene County,
Jackson County, Muncie, and Terre Haute areas. These LMPs are designed
to maintain the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS through the end of the second
10-year period beyond redesignation.

II. What comments did we receive on the proposed SIP revision?

    On August 19, 2019, EPA proposed approval (84 FR 42876) of
Indiana's LMPs. An explanation of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements,
a detailed analysis of the revisions, and EPA's reasons for proposing
approval were provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), and
will not be restated here. The comment period closed on September 18,
2019. EPA received one anonymous comment during the public comment
period. This comment was not adverse and supports EPA's approval of
Indiana's submittal.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    Under the CAA, EPA is finalizing approval of Indiana's 1997 8-hour
ozone NAAQS LMPs for the following areas: Evansville, Fort Wayne,
Greene County, Jackson County, Muncie, and Terre Haute, as proposed.
These LMPs meet all applicable requirements under CAA sections 110 and
175A.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by February 25, 2020. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

Inflation Adjustments to Liability Limits Governed by the
Montreal Convention Effective December 30, 2009

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department is publishing guidance to U.S. and certain
foreign air carriers on inflation adjustments to liability limits of
air carriers and foreign air carriers under the Montreal Convention.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicholas Lowry, Attorney, Office of
Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings (C-70), 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE.,
Washington, DC 20590,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice provides guidance to U.S. and
certain foreign air carriers on inflation adjustments to liability
limits of air carriers and foreign air carriers under the Montreal
Convention (Convention).\1\ The adjustments affect limits on liability
for damages for passenger death or injury, delay in passenger's
arrival, and the loss, delay or damage to baggage or cargo, increasing
those limits by approximately 13 percent and will be effective in
December 2009. The U.S. and foreign air carriers affected by these
changes to the Convention include those providing international
carriage between countries that, like the United States, are parties to
the Convention, and all who provide round trip foreign air
transportation that originates and terminates in the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for
International Carriage by Air, done at Montreal on May 28, 1999.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The liability limits are those set out in Articles 21 and 22 of the
Montreal Convention. Under Article 24 of the Convention, ICAO is to
review those limits every five years in light of inflation that has
occurred during that period. In a note of June 30, 2009, the Secretary
General of ICAO advised parties to the Convention of revisions required
pursuant to this review. These revisions are as follows, stated in
Special Drawing Rights (SDRs): \2\: for destruction, loss, damage or
delay of cargo 19 per kilogram (currently 17); for destruction, loss,
damage, or delay of baggage, per passenger, 1,131 (currently 1,000);
for delay in carriage of passengers, 4,694 (currently 4,150); ``strict
liability'' for death or bodily injury to passengers, 113,100
(currently 100,000). The revised amounts reflect inflation between 2003
and 2008 in the countries whose currencies comprise the SDR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The SDR, an international reserve asset, is a defined basket
of major currencies periodically reviewed by the International
Monetary Fund to reflect the relative importance of the constituent
currencies. As of October 28, 2009, the U.S. dollar value of the SDR
was $1.58.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to the terms of Article 24, the increased limits will take
effect six months following the notice referred to above, or December
30, 2009. Carriers should, therefore, revise their contracts of
carriage, tariffs, required notices, and practices to conform to the
Convention's requirements. Failure to implement in a timely manner the
revised liability limits and required notices would, in the view of the
Aviation Enforcement Office, constitute an unfair or deceptive business
practice and unfair method of competition in violation of 49 U.S.C.
41712. This disclosure guidance, it should be noted, also extends to
ticket agents and indirect air carriers. Questions regarding this
notice may be addressed to the Office of Aviation Enforcement and
Proceedings (C-70), U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey
Ave., SE., Washington, DC 20590.

    Dated: November 9, 2009.
