Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50, MYSTERE-FALCON 900, FALCON
900EX, FALCON 2000, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes. This AD was prompted
by a report of an in-flight lightning strike to the WHELEN anti-
collision light located on the top of the vertical fin tip that caused
severe damage and resulted in the loss of some airplane functions. This
AD requires modification of the anti-collision light bonding. We are
issuing this AD to prevent loss of electrical power and essential
airplane functions, and possible reduced control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective November 22, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of November 22,
2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain
Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50, MYSTERE-FALCON 900, FALCON
900EX, FALCON 2000, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes. The SNPRM published in
the Federal Register on June 17, 2016 (81 FR 39597) (``the SNPRM''). We
preceded the SNPRM with a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that
published in the Federal Register on September 24, 2015 (80 FR 57545)
(``the NPRM''). The NPRM proposed to require modification of the anti-
collision light bonding. The NPRM was prompted by a report of an in-
flight lightning strike to the WHELEN anti-collision light located on
the top of the vertical fin tip that caused severe damage and induced
the loss of some airplane functions. The SNPRM proposed to clarify the
applicability. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of electrical
power and essential airplane functions, and possible reduced control of
the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0006, dated January 15, 2015 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Dassault
Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50, MYSTERE-FALCON 900, FALCON 900EX,
FALCON 2000, and FALCON 2000EX airplanes. The MCAI states:

    An occurrence was reported where a Falcon 2000 aeroplane
experienced an in-flight lightning strike, which caused severe
damage and induced the loss of some aeroplane functions. The
investigation results revealed that the entering point of the
lightning was at the WHELEN anti-collision light located on the top
of the vertical fin tip.
    When the lightning strike hit the anti-collision light, an
electric arc occurred between the aeroplane structure and the anti-
collision light and created a conductive path by which the lightning
current entered inside the aeroplane. Further analysis has
determined that the electrical bonding between the WHELEN anti-
collision light, Part Number (P/N) 01-0790044-09, and the fin tip
fairing or the No. 2 engine air intake cover is insufficient to
withstand a lightning strike.
    In case of severe lightning, this condition, if not corrected,
could lead to an unsafe condition (loss of electrical power and/or
of essential functions) possibly resulting in reduced control of the
aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Dassault Aviation
developed a modification (mod) to improve the WHELEN anti-collision
light bonding when the anti-collision light is located on top of the
vertical fin tip or on No. 2 engine air intake cover, and issued
several Service Bulletins (SB) to modify all affected aeroplanes in
service.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
modification of the anti-collision light bonding.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
3629.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the SNPRM or on the determination
of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
SNPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following service information.
     Dassault Service Bulletin F50-481, Revision 1 (also
referred to as 481-R1), dated January 26, 2015.
     Dassault Service Bulletin F900-372, Revision 1 (also
referred to as 372-R1), dated January 26, 2015.
     Dassault Service Bulletin F900-378, Revision 1 (also
referred to as 378-R1), dated January 26, 2015.
     Dassault Service Bulletin F900EX-285, Revision 1 (also
referred to as 285-R1), dated January 26, 2015.

     Dassault Service Bulletin F900EX-305, Revision 1 (also
referred to as 305-R1), dated January 26, 2015.
     Dassault Service Bulletin F2000-337, Revision 1 (also
referred to as 337-R1), dated January 26, 2015.
     Dassault Service Bulletin F2000EX-108, Revision 1 (also
referred to as 108-R1), dated January 26, 2015.
    The service information describes procedures for modifying the
anti-collision light bonding. These documents are distinct since they
apply to different airplane models in different configurations. 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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 778 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 12 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $801 per
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on
U.S. operators to be $1,416,738, or $1,821 per product.

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

    We determined that 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 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.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
The Boeing Company Model 767-2C series airplanes. This AD was prompted
by arcing on an electrical terminal lug in a certain electrical power
panel that caused heat and smoke damage, as a result of a loose power
feeder terminal lug connection. This AD requires inspection of each
terminal lug on certain electrical power panels for evidence of arcing
and/or loose connection and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 20, 2023.
    The FAA must receive comments on this AD by May 22, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA received a report of an arcing event on an electrical
terminal lug in the P34 panel that caused heat and smoke damage within
the panel. It was determined that the arcing was a result of a loose
power feeder terminal lug connection. An investigation into the root
cause determined that the terminal lug was not torqued to the required
specifications resulting in a loose connection. The under-torqued
terminal lug was determined to be a workmanship issue. Additional
inspections to other electrical power panels resulted in multiple
findings of under-torqued terminal lugs. Under-torqued terminal lugs,
if not addressed, could result in arcing that may lead to loss of
critical function and loss of continued safe flight and landing. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency has 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 general visual inspection of electrical terminal
lugs, wires, and attached components in certain electrical power panels
for electrical arcing damage, and repair or replacement of any damaged
part; and a detailed inspection of each terminal lug for loose lugs in
certain power panels, and retorquing each loose terminal lug.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    There are currently no affected airplanes on the U.S. Register.
Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
unnecessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3). In addition, for the
foregoing reason(s), the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include Docket No. FAA-2023-0433 and Project Identifier AD-
2022-00619-T at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this final rule because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Hien T.
Nguyen, Aerospace Engineer, Systems and

Equipment Section, FAA, Seattle ACO Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des
Moines, WA 98198; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email: [email protected].
Any commentary that the FAA receives that is not specifically
designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this
rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment,
RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    Currently, there are no affected U.S.-registered airplanes. For any
affected airplane that is imported and placed on the U.S. Register in
the future, the FAA provides the following cost estimates to comply
with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Action                             Labor cost             Parts cost       Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspections............................  43 work-hours x $85 per hour =            $0  $3,655 per inspection
                                          $3,655 per inspection cycle.                  cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of the
inspections. The FAA has no way of determining the number of aircraft
that might need these on-condition actions:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per
                    Action                                    Labor cost                 Parts cost    product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove and Replace............................  1 work-hour x $85 per hour = $85......           $0          $85
Apply Torque..................................  1 work-hour x $85 per hour = $85......            0           85
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the replacement parts or repairs specified in 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.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change by NYSE Amex LLC Amending NYSE
Amex Equities Rule 123C(8)(a)(1) To Extend the Operation of the Extreme
Order Imbalances Pilot

October 9, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on October 5, 2009, NYSE Amex LLC (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Amex'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Amex Equities Rule
123C(8)(a)(1) to extend the operation of the pilot to temporarily
suspend certain NYSE requirements relating to the closing of securities
on the Exchange until the earlier of Securities and Exchange Commission
approval to make such pilot permanent or December 31, 2009. The text of
the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's
Public Reference Room, and http://www.nyse.com.

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 self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    NYSE Amex Equities Rule 123C(8)(a)(1) allows the Exchange to
temporarily suspend certain rule requirements at the close when extreme
order imbalances may cause significant dislocation to the closing
price. The rule has operated on a pilot basis since April 2009
(``Extreme Order Imbalances Pilot'' or Pilot).\4\ Through this filing,
NYSE Amex proposes to extend the Pilot until the earlier of Securities
and Exchange Commission approval to make such Pilot permanent or
December 31, 2009.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities and Exchange Act Release No. 597755 [sic]
(April 13, 2009) 74 FR 18009 (April 20, 2009) (SR-NYSEALTR-2009-15).
    \5\ The Exchange notes that parallel changes are proposed to be
made to the rules of New York Stock Exchange LLC. See SR-NYSE-2009-
104.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background
    Pursuant to NYSE Amex Equities Rule 123C(8)(a)(1), the Exchange may
suspend NYSE Amex Equities Rules 52 (Hours of Operation) to resolve an
extreme order imbalance that may result in a closing price dislocation
at the close as a result of an order entered into Exchange systems, or
represented to a DMM orally at or near the close.\6\ The provisions of
NYSE Amex Equities Rule 123C(8)(a)(1) operate as the Extreme Order
Imbalance Pilot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See NYSE Amex Equities Rule 123C(8)(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a condition of the approval to operate the Pilot, the Exchange
committed to provide the Commission with information regarding: (i) How

often a Rule 52 temporary suspension pursuant to the Pilot was invoked
during the six months following its approval; and (ii) the Exchange's
determination as to how to proceed with technical modifications to
reconfigure Exchange systems to accept orders electronically after 4
p.m.
    The Extreme Order Imbalance Pilot is scheduled to end operation on
October 13, 2009. The Exchange is currently preparing a rule filing
seeking permission to make the provisions of the Pilot permanent with
certain modifications but does not expect that filing to be completed
and approved by the Commission before October 13, 2009.
Proposal To Extend the Operation of the Extreme Order Imbalance Pilot
    The Exchange established the Extreme Order Imbalance Pilot to
create a mechanism for ensuring a fair and orderly close when interest
is received at or near the close that could negatively affect the
closing transaction. The Exchange believes that this tool has proved
very useful to resolve an extreme order imbalance that may result in a
closing price dislocation at the close as a result of an order entered
into Exchange systems, or represented to a DMM orally at or near the
close.
    As the Exchange has previously stated, invocation of the provisions
NYSE Amex Equities Rule 123C(8) to attract offsetting interest is
intended to be used for extreme, and likely rare circumstances where
there exists such a large imbalance at the close that a DMM is unable
to close the security without significantly dislocating the price of
the security. This is evidenced by the fact that during the course of
the Pilot, the Exchange invoked the provisions of NYSE Amex Equities
Rule 123C(8), including the provisions of the Extreme Order Imbalance
Pilot pursuant to NYSE Amex Equities Rule 123C(8)(a)(1), in only two
securities on June 26, 2009, the date of the annual rebalancing of
Russell Indexes.
    In addition, during the operation of the Pilot, the Exchange
determined that it would not be as onerous, as previously believed, to
modify Exchange systems to accept orders electronically after 4 p.m.
The Exchange anticipates that such system modifications could be
completed by December 31, 2009.
    Given the above, the Exchange believes that provisions governing
the Extreme Order Imbalance Pilot should be made permanent. Through
this filing the Exchange seeks to extend the current operation of the
Pilot in order to allow the Exchange to formally submit a filing to the
Commission to convert the provisions governing the Pilot to permanent
rules and complete the technological modifications required to accept
orders electronically after 4 p.m. The Exchange therefore request and
[sic] extension from the current expiration date of October 13, 2009,
until the earlier of Securities and Exchange Commission approval to
make such Pilot permanent or December 31, 2009.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the
requirement under Section 6(b)(5) \7\ that an Exchange have rules that
are designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that the
instant filing is consistent with these principles. Specifically an
extension will allow the Exchange to: (i) Prepare and submit a filing
to make the provisions governing the Extreme Order Imbalance Pilot
permanent; (ii) have such filing complete public notice and comment
period; and (iii) complete the 19b-4 approval process. The rule
operates to protect investors and the public interest by ensuring that
the closing price at the Exchange is not significantly dislocated from
the last sale price by virtue of an extreme order imbalance at or near
the close.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) \8\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \9\ thereunder.
Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (1) Does not significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) does not
impose any significant burden on competition; and (3) by its terms,
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule
change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act
and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.\10\ However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) permits the Commission to designate a shorter
time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest. The Exchange requested that the Commission waive
the 30-day operative delay, as specified in Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\11\
which would make the rule change operative immediately. The Exchange
believes that continuation of the Pilot does not burden competition and
would operate to protect investors and the public interest by ensuring
that the closing price at the Exchange is not significantly dislocated
from the last sale price by virtue of an extreme order imbalance at or
near the close.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the self-regulatory organization to give the
Commission notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. NYSE Amex has satisfied this requirement.
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it would allow the Pilot to continue without interruption while
the Exchange works towards submitting a separate proposal to make the
Pilot permanent. Accordingly, the Commission designates the proposed
rule change as operative upon filing with the Commission.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a
proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by July 9,
2014.

ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are
received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer,
FAX:<PHONE_NUMBER>, or emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>All
comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910-0687.
Also include the FDA 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, 8455 Colesville Rd., COLE-14526, Silver
Spring, MD 20993-0002<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Testing Communications on Biological Products--(OMB Control Number
0910-0687)--Extension

    FDA is authorized by section 1003(d)(2)(D) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)(D)) to conduct educational
and public information programs relating to the safety of regulated
biological products. FDA conducts needed research to help ensure that
such programs have the highest likelihood of being effective. FDA
expects that improving communications about biological products will
involve many research methods, including individual indepth interviews,
mall-intercept interviews, focus groups, self-administered surveys,
gatekeeper reviews, and omnibus telephone surveys. The information will
be used to explore concepts of interest and assist in the development
and modification of communication messages and campaigns to fulfill the
Agency's mission to protect the public health.
    The information collected will serve three major purposes. First,
as formative research it will provide critical knowledge needed about
target audiences to develop messages and campaigns about biological
product use. Knowledge of consumer and health care professional
decisionmaking processes will provide the better understanding of
target audiences that FDA needs to design effective communication
strategies, messages, and labels. These communications will aim to
improve public understanding of the risks and benefits of using
biological products by providing users with a better context in which
to place risk information more completely.
    Second, as initial testing, it will allow FDA to assess the
potential effectiveness of messages and materials in reaching and
successfully communicating with their intended audiences. Testing
messages with a sample of the target audience will allow FDA to refine
messages while still in the developmental stage. Respondents will be
asked to give their reaction to the messages in either individual or
group settings.
    Third, as evaluative research, it will allow FDA to ascertain the
effectiveness of the messages and the distribution method of these
messages in achieving the objectives of the message campaign.
Evaluation of campaigns is a vital link in continuous improvement of
communications at FDA.
    In the Federal Register of October 1, 2013 (78 FR 60287), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information based on
prior experience with the various types of data collection methods
described in this document:
