SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.65 and approval by
the Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to 45 CFR part 11
and by the General Services Administration, FDA is announcing the
renewal of the Pharmaceutical Science and Clinical Pharmacology
Advisory Committee (the Committee). The Committee is a discretionary
Federal advisory committee established to provide advice to the
Commissioner. The Committee advises the Commissioner or designee in
discharging responsibilities as they relate to helping to ensure safe
and effective drugs for human use and, as required, any other product
for which FDA has regulatory responsibility.
    The Committee reviews and evaluates scientific, clinical, and
technical issues related to the safety and effectiveness of drug
products for use in the treatment of a broad spectrum of human
diseases, the quality characteristics which such drugs purport or are
represented to have, and as required, any other product for which FDA
has regulatory responsibility, and makes appropriate recommendations to
the Commissioner. The Committee may also review Agency sponsored
intramural and extramural biomedical research programs in support of
FDA's drug regulatory responsibilities and its critical path
initiatives related to improving the efficacy and safety of drugs and
improving the efficiency of drug development.
    The Committee shall consist of a core of 14 voting members
including two Chairpersons. Members and Chairpersons are selected by
the Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in
the fields of pharmaceutical sciences (pharmaceutical manufacturing,
bioequivalence research, laboratory analytical techniques,
pharmaceutical chemistry, physiochemistry, biochemistry, molecular
biology, immunology, microbiology) and clinical pharmacology (dose-
response, pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics, modeling and simulation,
pharmacogenomics, clinical trial design, pediatrics, and special
populations and innovative methods in drug development), biostatistics,
related biomedical and pharmacological specialties, current good
manufacturing practices, and quality systems implementation. Members
will be invited to serve for overlapping terms of up to 4 years. Almost
all non-Federal members of this committee serve as Special Government
Employees. The core of voting members may include one technically
qualified member, selected by the Commissioner or designee, who is
identified with consumer interests and is recommended by either a
consortium of consumer-oriented organizations or other interested
persons. In addition to the voting members, the Committee may include
up to three non-voting members who are identified with industry
interests.

Sara Lee Bakery Goods; Notice of Filing of Self-Certification of
Qualifying Status of Cogeneration Facility

January 11, 2007.
    Take notice that on May 19, 2006, as completed on December 22,
2006, Sara Lee Bakery Goods filed a notice of self-certification of
qualifying status of a cogeneration facility, pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(a) of the Commission's regulations.
    Take notice that on December 26, 2006, Sara Lee Bakery Goods, 110
Sara Lee Road, Tarboro, NC 27886 filed with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission a notice of self-certification of a facility as a
qualifying cogeneration facility pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(a) of the
Commission's regulations.
    This qualifying cogeneration facility consists of an 1825 kW
packaged diesel engine generator set operating on 2 fuel oil.
The package is set on concrete pads. The unit is self-contained,
including all necessary switchgear and controls. The electricity is
generated at 480 V, 3 phase, 60 Hz. The facility is located at 110 Sara
Lee Road, Tarboro, NC 27886.
    This qualifying facility interconnects with the Town of Tarboro's
electric distribution system. The facility will provide standby power
and occasionally supplementary power to Sara Lee Bakery Goods.
    A notice of self-certification does not institute a proceeding
regarding qualifying facility status; a notice of self-certification
provides notice that the entity making filing has determined the
Facility meets the applicable criteria to be a qualifying facility. Any
person seeking to challenge such qualifying facility status may do so
by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii).
    This filing is accessible online at http://www.ferc.gov, using the

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0320]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Monongahela River (MM 0.22), Allegheny
River (MM 0.8), and Ohio River (0.8), Pittsburgh, PA.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a special local
regulation for certain navigable waters of the Allegheny, Monongahela,
and Ohio Rivers in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, PA. This action is
necessary to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters
during the weekend of the Luke Bryan concert at Heinz Field. This
proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from loitering,
anchoring, stopping, mooring, remaining, or drifting in any manner

that impedes safe passage of another vessel to any launching ramp,
marina, or fleeting area unless authorized by the Captain of the Port
Marine Safety Unit Pittsburgh or a designated representative. In
addition, this proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels
from loitering, anchoring, stopping, or drifting more than 100 feet
from any river bank unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Marine
Safety Unit Pittsburgh or a designated representative. We invite your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before May 2, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0320 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Petty Officer Jennifer Haggins,
Marine Safety Unit Pittsburgh, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 412-221-
0807, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of the Port Marine Safety Unit Pittsburgh
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Heinz Field notified the Coast Guard that it would be holding a
concert from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on June 30, 2018. Heinz Field is located
in close proximity to the banks of the Ohio and Allegheny Rivers, which
is a high vessel traffic area used by both commercial and recreational
vessels. Due to the proximity of Heinz Field to these waterways, it
will be a destination for many recreational vessels to anchor and
loiter throughout the concert weekend of June 29, 2018 to July 1, 2018.
The Coast Guard is concerned about possible collisions that could occur
in this area and the impact of vessel congestion on maritime commerce
due to transit delays. The Captain of the Port Marine Safety Unit
Pittsburgh (COTP) has determined that this special local regulation is
necessary to maintain an open navigation channel and ensure the safety
of vessels and these navigable waters during the concert weekend.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters adjacent to Heinz Field on the Allegheny,
Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers before, during, and after the Luke Bryan
concert weekend. The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under
authority in 33 U.S.C. 1233.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) with a 15-day prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant
to section (b)(3) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.
553). This provision authorizes an agency to publish a rule in less
than 30 days before its effective date for ``good cause found and
published with the rule.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the Coast Guard
finds that good cause exists for publishing this NPRM with a 15-day
comment period because it is impractical to provide a 30-day comment
period. This proposed special local regulation is necessary to ensure
the safety of vessels and persons during the concert weekend. It is
impracticable to publish an NPRM with a 30-day comment period because
we must establish this special local regulation by June 29, 2018. A 15-
day comment period would allow the Coast Guard to provide for public
notice and comment, but also publish a rule, if adopted, soon enough
that the length of the notice and comment period does not compromise
public safety.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP proposes to establish a special local regulation for all
navigable waters of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers between
the Ninth Street Highway Bridge at mile marker (MM) 0.8, Allegheny
River, Fort Pitt Highway Bridge at MM 0.22, Monongahela River, and West
End-North Side Highway Bridge at MM 0.8, Ohio River. The duration of
the special local regulation is intended to ensure the safety of
vessels on these navigable waters before, during, and after the concert
weekend. This proposed rule would apply to any vessel operating within
the area, including a naval or public vessel, except a vessel engaged
in law enforcement, servicing aids to navigation, or surveying,
maintaining, or improving waters within the regulated area. No vessel
would be permitted to loiter, anchor, stop, moor, remain or drift in
any manner that impedes safe passage of another vessel to any launching
ramp, marina, or fleeting area unless authorized by the COTP or a
designated representative. In addition, no vessel or person would be
permitted to loiter, anchor, stop, remain, or drift more than 100 feet
from any riverbank unless authorized by the COTP or a designated
representative. They may be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16. Persons and
vessels permitted to enter this regulated area must transit at their
slowest safe speed and comply with all lawful directions issued by the
COTP or the designated representative. The regulatory text we are
proposing appears at the end of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size and
location of the special local regulation. The special local regulation
will impact a small section of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio
Rivers, less than three total miles. Moreover, the special local
regulation will not stop vessels from transiting the area, it will only
establish certain areas where vessels are prohibited from loitering,
anchoring, stopping, remaining, or drifting because it impedes
navigation near launching ramps, marinas, and fleeting areas, or
commercial traffic in the rivers. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue
Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNMs) via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about
the regulated area and the rule would allow vessels to seek permission
to enter the regulated area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider

the potential impact of regulations on small entities during
rulemaking. The term ``small entities'' comprises small businesses,
not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated
and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule would not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
regulated area may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    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 proposed rule. If the rule 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
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. 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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves a special
local regulation that prohibits vessels from loitering, anchoring,
stopping, remaining or drifting more than 100 feet from any bank.
Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of Implementation of the
National Environmental Policy Act, Department of Homeland Security
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01. A preliminary 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 proposed rule.

G. 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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.
    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be
submitted using http://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate
instructions.
    We accept anonymous comments. All comments received will be posted
without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and the
docket, visit http://www.regulations.gov/privacyNotice.
    Documents mentioned in this NPRM as being available in the docket,
and all public comments, will be in our online docket at http://www.regulations.gov and can be viewed by following that website's
instructions. Additionally, if you go to the online docket and sign up
for email alerts, you will be notified when comments are posted or a
final rule is published.

Triadimenol Risk Assessments; Notice of Availability and Risk
Reduction Options

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's risk
assessment, and related documents for the triazole fungicide
triadimenol and for its free triazole metabolites, and opens a public
comment period on these documents. The triazole fungicides, which
include triadimenol, triadimefon, and propiconazole, and others, share
the common metabolites 1,2,4-triazole, triazole alanine, and triazole
acetic acid (also known as free triazoles). EPA has conducted an
aggregate risk assessment for the free triazole metabolites to ensure
that aggregate exposure and risk from these common metabolites meet the
current safety standards. he public is encouraged to suggest risk
management ideas or proposals to address the risks identified. EPA is
developing a tolerance reassessment decision (TRED) for triadimenol
through a modified, 4-Phase public participation process that the
Agency uses to involve the public in developing pesticide
reregistration and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these
programs, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides meet current health and
safety standards.

profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is releasing for public comment its human health risk
assessment and related documents for triadimenol, a triazole fungicide,
and an aggregate risk assessment for the free triazole metabolites, and
encouraging the public to suggest risk management ideas or proposals.
Triadimenol is a systemic fungicide used as a seed treatment for
barley, corn, cotton, oats, rye, sorghum, and wheat. In addition, other
triazole fungicides, which may metabolize to triazole conjugates, are
formulated into pharmaceutical products which are approved for use by
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
    Additionally, an import tolerance on bananas has been established.
Tolerances are established for residues of triadimenol and its
butanediol metabolite in/on various plant commodities and are regulated
as metabolites of the fungicide triadimefon. EPA developed the risk
assessment and risk characterization for triadimenol through a modified
version of its public process for making pesticide reregistration
eligibility and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these
programs, EPA is ensuring that pesticides meet current standards under
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food
Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA).
    EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice, for
interested parties to provide comments and input on the Agency's risk
assessment for triadimenol and for the free triazole metabolites 1,2,4-
triazoleole alanine, and triazole acetic acid. Such comments and input
could address, for example, the availability of additional data to
further refine the risk assessments, such as both acute and subchronic
neurotoxicity studies, a Developmental Neurotoxicity (DNT) study,
information on potential exposure to triazole conjugates from
pharmaceutical products, and separate metabolism studies (seed
treatment) to confirm residues of concern, or could address the
Agency's risk assessment methodologies and assumptions as applied to
this specific pesticide.
    Through this notice, EPA also is providing an opportunity for
interested parties to provide risk management proposals or otherwise
comment on risk management for triadimenol. As there are no residential
uses associated with triadimenol, the aggregate risk assessment
includes exposure from food and drinking water only. Acute and chronic
aggregate risks (food and drinking water) are below the Agency's level
of concern for all population subgroups. The current risk assessment
only addresses risks associated with residues of triadimenol resulting
from the use of triadimenol as an active ingredient. There are
additional exposures to triadimenol residues that result from the use
of the active ingredient triadimefon, because triadimefon degrades to
triadimenol, but those exposures have not been aggregated with
exposures from the use of triadimenol alone because the risks
associated with the active ingredient triadimefon are currently
unacceptable. However, once the triadimefon risks have been refined or
mitigated, EPA will conduct an aggregate assessment of the risks
associated with triadimenol residues that result from the use of both
active ingredients, triadimenol and triadimefon. In targeting these
potential risks of concern, the Agency solicits comments on assumptions
used in the current risk assessment as well as information on effective
and practical risk reduction measures.
    EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income, in the development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks
information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a
result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may
have atypical, unusually high exposure to

triadimenol or its free triazole metabolites, compared to the general
population.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004 (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9), explains that in conducting these
programs, the Agency is tailoring its public participation process to
be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of
the issues, and degree of public concern associated with each
pesticide. For triadimenol, a modified, 4-Phase process with one
comment period and ample opportunity for public consultation seems
appropriate in view of its refined risk assessment and other factors.
However, if as a result of comments received during this comment period
EPA finds that additional issues warranting further discussion are
raised, the Agency may lengthen the process and include a second
comment period, as needed. The decisions presented in the TRED may be
supplemented by further risk mitigation measures when EPA considers
whether a cumulative assessment is necessary for the triazole group of
pesticides.
    All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES,
and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. Comments
will become part of the Agency Docket for Triadimenol. Comments
received after the close of the comment period will be marked ``late.''
EPA is not required to consider these late comments.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission
of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ``the
Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active
ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' before calling in
product-specific data on individual end-use products and either
reregistering products or taking other ``appropriate regulatory
action.''
    Section 408(q) of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to
review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of
August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets
the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review
is to be completed by August 3, 2006.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
that applies to certain Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series
airplanes, and Model C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called
A300-600 series airplanes). This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    [T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation
Regulation 88).* * *
    Under this regulation, all holders of type certificates for
passenger transport aeroplanes * * * are required to conduct a
design review against explosion risks. The replacement of some types
of P-clips and improvement of the electrical bonding of the
equipment in the fuel tanks [were] are rendered mandatory. * * *
* * * * *
    Subsequently, an internal review * * * led * * * to * * * an
additional check [for blue coat] of the bonding points in the centre
tank. * * *
More recently, another internal review [introduced] additional work
[installing bonding points] for aeroplanes under Configuration 03 *
* * and additional work [bonding the fuel jettison system--blanking
plates] on the wing tanks for aeroplanes under Configuration 07. * *
*

The unsafe condition is damage to wiring in the wing, center, and trim
fuel tanks, due to failed P-clips used for retaining the wiring and
pipes, which could result in a possible fuel ignition source in the
wing, center, or trim fuel tanks. We are issuing this AD to require
actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 23, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of November 23,
2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain other publications as of March 6, 2008 (73 FR
5731, January 31, 2008).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on April 6, 2011 (76 FR
18960), and proposed to supersede AD 2008-03-04, Amendment 39-15353 (73
FR 5731, January 31, 2008). That NPRM (76 FR 18960, April 6, 2011)
proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    [T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation
Regulation 88). In their letters referenced 04/00/02/07/01-L296,
dated 04 March 2002, and 04/00/02/07/03-L024, dated 03 February
2003, the JAA recommended the application of a similar regulation to
the National Aviation Authorities (NAA).
    Under this regulation, all holders of type certificates for
passenger transport aeroplanes with either a passenger capacity of
30 or more, or a payload capacity of 3,402 kg (7,500 lbs) or more
which have received their certification since 01 January 1958, are
required to conduct a design review against explosion risks. The
replacement of some types of P-clips and improvement of the
electrical bonding of the equipment in the fuel tasks are rendered
mandatory by this AD.
    Initially, EASA AD 2006-0325, which addressed the same unsafe
condition, also applied to A300-600 aeroplanes. Airbus subsequently
introduced additional work at Revision 1 of SB A300-28-6064 [dated
April 3, 2007] applicable to A300-600 aeroplanes. As a result, EASA
AD 2006-0325 was revised to remove A300-600 aeroplanes from the
applicability, and concurrently EASA AD 2007-0233 was issued,
applicable to A300-600 aeroplanes. Unfortunately, the
`Applicability' section of EASA AD 2007-0233 was not correctly
defined, erroneously deleting one modification in the combination
that would exclude aeroplanes from having to comply. Consequently,
the AD 2007-0283 was issued, requiring the same actions as AD 2007-
0233, which was superseded, but expanded the group of aeroplanes to
which AD 2007-0283 applied [FAA AD 2008-03-04 (73 FR 5731, January
31, 2008) corresponds with EASA AD 2007-0283].
    Subsequently, an internal review of Airbus SB A300-28-6064 led
the manufacturer to correct the figures of the SB. In particular, an
additional check [for blue coat] of the bonding points in the centre
tank was introduced in Revision 03 of Airbus SB A300-28-6064 [dated
December 15, 2008], prompting EASA to issue AD 2009-0143.
    More recently, another internal review of Airbus SB A300-28-6064
again resulted in corrected figures in the SB. Additional work on
the center tank [installing bonding points] for aeroplanes under
Configuration 03 (as defined in the SB [Service Bulletin A300-28-
6064, Revision 04, dated August 24, 2009]) and additional work
[bonding the fuel jettison system--blanking plates] on the wing
tanks for aeroplanes under Configuration 07 have been introduced in
Revision 04 of Airbus SB A300-28-6064 [dated August 24, 2009].
    For the reason described above, this new AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2009-0143, which is superseded, and requires
the additional work introduced in Revision 04 of Airbus SB A300-28-
6064 [dated August 24, 2009].

The unsafe condition is damage to wiring in the wing, center, and trim
fuel tanks, due to failed P-clips used for retaining the wiring and
pipes, which could result in a possible fuel ignition source in the
wing, center, or trim fuel tanks. The required actions also include
checking the electrical bonding points of certain equipment in the
center fuel tank for the presence of a blue coat and

doing related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. The
related investigative action is to measure the electrical resistance
between the equipment and structure, if a blue coat is not present. The
corrective action is to electrically bond the equipment, if the
measured resistance is greater than 10 milliohms. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request for Extension of Compliance Time

    UPS and FedEx requested an extension to the 8-month compliance time
specified in the NPRM (76 FR 18960, dated April 6, 2011) in order to
accomplish the additional actions. FedEx requested that the compliance
time for the additional actions be at the latest of the 40-month
compliance time specified in AD 2008-03-04, Amendment 39-15353 (73 FR
5731, January 31, 2008), any alternative methods of compliance that
extend that compliance time or within 12 months after the effective
date of the new AD. UPS requested that the compliance time be extended
to 60 months. UPS stated that the two additional bonding points
specified in the NPRM are no more unsafe than the original 264 bonding
points required in AD 2008-03-04. UPS noted that it schedules tank
entry checks at 60 months and that the original issue of the service
information allowed for a 60-month compliance time.
    We agree with extending the compliance time and have determined
that extending the compliance time to 30 months is appropriate. In
developing an appropriate compliance time for this action, we
considered the safety implications, parts availability, and normal
maintenance schedules for the timely accomplishment of the
modification. In consideration of these items, we have determined that
a 30-month compliance time will ensure an acceptable level of safety
and allow the modifications to be done during scheduled maintenance
intervals for most affected operators. We have also coordinated with
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on this issue. We have changed
the compliance time in paragraph (h) of this AD to ``within 30 months
after the effective date of this AD.''

Request for Change to Cost of Compliance Work-Hours

    FedEx stated that they averaged 800 work-hours versus the 632 work-
hours listed in the NPRM (76 FR 18960, dated April 6, 2011) to
accomplish the existing modifications. FedEx also stated that 9 work-
hours, as specified for the additional actions, may be adequate if done
in conjunction with the other modifications; however, additional work-
hours will be required for airplanes that have been previously been
modified.
    We infer that FedEx is requesting that we increase the work-hours
estimate to accomplish the existing and new modifications. We do not
agree to revise the work-hours. Work-hours may vary among operators.
Our estimate is based on the information provided in the relevant
service information. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Request for Material Substitutions

    FedEx requested that we add wording to the NPRM (76 FR 18960, dated
April 6, 2011) that material substitutions supplied by Airbus are
approved for use and do not require an alternative method of compliance
(AMOC). FedEx stated that the kits specified in Airbus Service
Bulletins A300-28-6064, Revision 01, dated April 3, 2007; A300-28-6068,
dated July 20, 2005; and A300-28-6077, Revision 01, dated October 26,
2006; might contain parts that are not listed in the kit description
specified in the service information.
    We do not agree with the request to revise the AD to include
wording that material substitutions are approved for use. Airbus
Service Bulletins A300-28-6064, Revision 01, dated April 3, 2007; A300-
28-6068, dated July 20, 2005; and A300-28-6077, Revision 01, dated
October 26, 2006; contain language in the ``Standard Practices''
section of paragraph 3.A. ``General'' of the Accomplishment
Instructions that specifies which alternative materials are allowed. We
have not changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Update Service Information to Latest Revision

    FedEx stated that Airbus has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin
A300-28-6064, Revision 05, dated September 27, 2010, and requested that
we update our references in the NPRM (76 FR 18960, dated April 6,
2011).
    We agree with the request and have updated the references in
paragraphs (c)(1), (g)(4), and (h) of this AD to include Airbus
Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-28-6064, Revision 05, dated September
27, 2010. Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-28-6064, Revision 05,
dated September 27, 2010, provides clarifications of the actions and
materials but contains no substantive changes.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 125 products of U.S.
registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2008-03-04 Amendment 39-15353
(73 FR 5731, January 31, 2008) and retained in this AD take about 632
work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour.
Required parts cost about $6,870 per product. Based on these figures,
the estimated cost of the currently required actions is $60,590 per
product.
    We estimate that it will take about 9 work-hours per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $100 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $108,125, or $865 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 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); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (76 FR 18960, dated April 6,
2011), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations office
(telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will
be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    [T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation
Regulation 88). * * *
    Under this regulation, all holders of type certificates for
passenger transport aeroplanes * * * are required to conduct a
design review against explosion risks. The replacement of some types
of P-clips and improvement of the electrical bonding of the
equipment in the fuel tanks [were] are rendered mandatory * * *.
* * * * *
    Subsequently, an internal review * * * led * * * to * * * an
additional check [for blue coat] of the bonding points in the centre
tank. * * *
    More recently, another internal review [introduced] additional
work [installing bonding points] for aeroplanes under Configuration
03 * * * and additional work [bonding the fuel jettison system--
blanking plates] on the wing tanks for aeroplanes under
Configuration 07 * * *.

The unsafe condition is damage to wiring in the wing, center, and
trim fuel tanks, due to failed P-clips used for retaining the wiring
and pipes, which could result in a possible fuel ignition source in
the wing, center, or trim fuel tanks.

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

as follows: The MCAI provides a compliance time of 8 months to do
the actions specified in paragraph (h) of this AD. This AD requires
that the actions specified in paragraph (h) of this AD be done
within 30 months.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (i) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

As an individual consumer I would like to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises an overwhelming number of significant issues and questions on which I would like to comment. However, the current deadline makes it very difficult for consumers like me to do the research to provide thoughtful, accurate feedback based on reliable data. Given that the FDA took years to release the  Proposed Rule it seems quite reasonable to allow the public at least six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

E-cigarettes allowed me to immediately and painlessly quit my two and a half pack a day cigarette habit of over four decades when other methods failed miserably so being able to provide worthwhile comments on the Proposed Rule is something that is desperately important to me personally. It is my hope that you will allow me as well as other consumers a reasonable amount of time to provide my personal story with e-cigarettes as well as fact-based comments on the many issues The Proposed Rule raises for me as a consumer. It is my understanding that 21 CFR 10.40 gives the FDA the authority to grant an extension request for the comment period and that the FDA has granted such requests on numerous occasions in the past.

Thank you for your consideration.
