SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79714; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2016-136]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Order Approving a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, Amending NYSE
Arca Equities Rule 7.35 To Provide for Widened Auction Collars for the
Core Open Auction on Volatile Trading Days

December 30, 2016.

I. Introduction

    On September 28, 2016, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``Exchange'' or ``NYSE
Arca'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to widen Auction Collars for the Core Open Auction
on volatile trading days. The proposed rule change was published for
comment in the Federal Register on October 14, 2016.\3\ On November 23,
2016, the Commission designated a longer period within which to approve
the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or
institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed
rule change.\4\ On December 12, 2016, the Exchange filed Amendment No.
1 to its proposed rule change.\5\ The Commission received no comment
letters on the proposed rule change. This order approves the proposed
rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79068 (October 7,
2016), 81 FR 71127 (``Notice'').
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79388, 81 FR 86368
(November 30, 2016). The Commission designated January 12, 2017, as
the date by which it shall approve, disapprove, or institute
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule
change.
    \5\ In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange replaced all references in
the filing to Rule 7.35P with Rule 7.35, as the Exchange recently
amended its rules to eliminate the ``P'' modifier. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 79078 (October 11, 2016), 81 FR 71559
(October 17, 2016) (SR-NYSEArca-2016-135). The Exchange also
corrected a typographical error in the proposed text in Rule
7.35(a)(10)(A). Finally, the Exchange provided additional details
regarding its authority under the proposal to widen Auction Collars
when it determines that it is necessary or appropriate for the
maintenance of a fair and orderly market, and represented that if it
were to widen Auction Collars under this authority, it would
announce by Trader Update such widened collars before the Core Open
Auction. Because Amendment No. 1 does not materially alter the
substance of the proposed rule change or raise unique or novel
regulatory issues, Amendment No. 1 is not subject to notice and
comment (Amendment No. 1 is available at: https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2016-136/nysearca2016136-1.pdf).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.35 to
widen Auction Collars \6\ for the Core Open Auction on volatile trading
days. Currently, Rule 7.35(a)(10)(A) provides that the price collar
threshold for the Core Open Auction is 10% for securities with an
Auction Reference Price \7\ of $25.00 or less, 5% for securities with
an Auction Reference Price greater than $25.00 but less than or equal
to $50.00, and 3% for securities with an Auction Reference Price
greater than $50.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.35(a)(10) (defining ``Auction
Collar'' to mean the price collar thresholds for the Indicative
Match Price for the Core Open Auction, Trading Halt Auction, or
Closing Auction).
    \7\ See NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.35(a)(8)(A) (defining
``Auction Reference Price'' for the Core Open Auction to mean the
midpoint of the Auction NBBO or, if the Auction NBBO is locked, the
locked price, and if there is no Auction NBBO, the prior trading
day's Official Closing Price).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the proposal, if as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, the E-mini S&P
500 Futures are +/- 2% from the prior day's closing price of the E-mini
S&P 500 Futures, or if the Exchange determines that it is necessary or
appropriate for the maintenance of a fair and orderly market, the
Auction Collar for the Core Open Auction would be 10%, regardless of
the Auction Reference Price. If the Exchange determines to widen
Auction Collars under the ``fair and orderly'' provision, the Exchange
would announce by Trader Update the widened collars before the Core
Open Auction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Amendment No. 1, supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\9\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ which requires, among other things, that the
rules of a national securities exchange be designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that, according to the Exchange, the proposed
Auction Collars would allow for additional price movement during
periods of market-wide volatility, and at the same time continue to
prevent auctions from occurring at prices significantly away from the
Auction Reference Price.\11\ The Exchange also states its belief that
widening the Auction Collars could reduce the possibility of securities
triggering multiple trading pauses under

the Regulation NMS Plan to Address Extraordinary Market Volatility.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Notice, supra note 3, at 71127.
    \12\ See id. at 71128.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Moreover, according to the Exchange, the proposal would permit it
to widen Auction Collars under the ``fair and orderly'' provision when
the E-Mini S&P 500 Futures are not +/-2% from the prior day's closing
price as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, but widening the Auction Collars
would otherwise be warranted.\13\ The Exchange also states that the
``fair and orderly'' provision would be invoked for unusual
circumstances.\14\ According to the Exchange, using 2016 as an example,
if the proposed rule had been in place, the Exchange would have widened
Auction Collars on only two days (i.e., June 24, 2016, the day after
the ``Brexit'' vote, and November 9, 2016, the day after the U.S.
Presidential election).\15\ Of these two days, the Exchange would have
invoked the ``fair and orderly'' provision only for November 9 because,
by 9:00 a.m., the futures markets had returned to within 2% of the
prior day's closing price.\16\ However, because of the overall volume
of trading and uncertainty in the market that day, the Exchange
believed it was appropriate to widen the Auction Collars.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Amendment No. 1, supra note 5.
    \14\ See id.
    \15\ See id. The Exchange filed proposed rule changes to
temporarily widen Auction Collars for the Core Open Auction on these
two days. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 78152 (June 24,
2016), 81 FR 42781 (June 30, 2016) (SR-NYSEArca-2016-90) and 79275
(November 9, 2016), 81 FR 80703 (November 16, 2016) (SR-NYSEArca-
2016-146).
    \16\ See Amendment No. 1, supra note 5.
    \17\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the Exchange's representations, the Commission believes
that the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, would
help to promote orderly and efficient Core Open Auctions on volatile
days and would provide transparency on such days regarding the Core
Open Auction parameters. Based on the foregoing, the Commission finds
that the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \18\ and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It Is Therefore Ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\19\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEArca-2016-136), as
modified by Amendment No. 1, be, and hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-81068; File No. SR-ICEEU-2017-007]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Europe Limited; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change Relating to Amendments to the ICE Clear
Europe Limited Articles of Association

June 30, 2017.

I. Introduction

    On May 2, 2017, ICE Clear Europe Limited (``ICE Clear Europe''),
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change (SR-
ICEEU-2017-007) to amend its Articles of Association. The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on May 19,
2017.\3\ The Commission received no comment letters regarding

the proposed change. For the reasons discussed below, the Commission is
approving the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-80674 (May 19, 2017),
82 FR 23080 (May 19, 2017) (SR-ICEEU-2017-007) (the ``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    As more fully described in the Notice, the proposed rule change
seeks to amend the Articles of Association, among other things, to
update the Articles to add definitions that reflect ICE Clear Europe's
existing committees, change the minimum number of directors from two to
six, provide for selection of replacement or additional directors by
the Nominations Committee, make use of a Senior Independent Director
appointed in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, stagger
the retirement or rotation of independent directors (the provisions for
the retirement or rotation of CDS directors will not change),
explicitly provide that directors appoint members of relevant
committees, which operate under their own terms of reference, require
independent directors to disclose to the Board of Directors all other
directorships that they hold both prior to appointment and on an
ongoing basis, adopt new procedures identifying and addressing
conflicts of interest of directors with respect to both transactions
with ICE Clear Europe where a director has an interest and matters in
the ordinary course in which directors' interests are affected (i.e.,
directors affiliated with clearing members), make clarifications to
notice waiver requirements, and require a written record of all
unanimous or majority decisions of the directors for at least ten
years. Additionally, ICE Clear Europe proposed other non-substantive
corrections and clarifications to the Articles of Association. For
example, various references to persons have been revised to be gender-
neutral, and various articles have been renumbered in light of the
changes discussed above.

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act directs the Commission to approve a
proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that
such proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such
organization.\4\ Section 17A(b)(3)(C) of the Act requires,\5\ among
other things, that the rules of a clearing agency \6\ assure a fair
representation of its participants in the selection of its directors
and administration of its affairs. Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act
requires,\7\ among other things, that the rules of a registered
clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent
applicable, derivative agreements, contracts, and transactions, to
assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the
custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest. Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2) requires that a covered clearing agency
\8\ shall establish, implement, maintain and enforce written policies
and procedures reasonably designed to provide for governance
arrangements that are clear and transparent; clearly prioritize the
safety and efficiency of the covered clearing agency; support the
public interest requirements in Section 17A of the Act; establish that
the board of directors and senior management have appropriate
experience and skills to discharge their duties and responsibilities;
specify clear and direct lines of responsibility; and consider the
interests of participants' customers, securities issuers and holders,
and other relevant stakeholders of the covered clearing agency.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(C).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(C).
    \6\ The ``rules of a clearing agency'' include its articles of
incorporation and bylaws. 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(27).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \8\ See 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(a)(5) (defining ``covered clearing
agency'').
    \9\ See 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 17A of the Act and Rule 17Ad-22 thereunder. In particular,
the Commission finds that the amendments will clarify aspects of ICE
Clear Europe's governance framework and thus, in ICE Clear Europe's
view, facilitate the efficient operation of the clearing house and the
prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of transactions. The
Commission believes that these amendments are consistent with ICE Clear
Europe's obligation to have governance arrangements that are clear and
transparent, prioritize the safety and efficiency of the clearing
agency, and support the public interest requirements in Section 17A of
the Act and the objectives of owners and participants. Finally, with
respect to potential conflicts of interest concerning matters in the
ordinary course in which directors' interests are affected, the
Commission believes that this provision is consistent with the
requirement that the rules of a clearing agency assure a fair
representation of its participants in the administration of its
affairs. ICE Clear Europe has represented that these provisions are not
intended to result in the recusal or disqualification of member-
affiliated directors as a class,\10\ but rather could result in recusal
on a case-by-case basis depending on the conflict. Further, any recusal
is not automatic; rather, ICE Clear Europe's shareholders or the
remaining directors have the ability to determine whether full or
limited participation by the interested director is appropriate.
Moreover, ICE Clear Europe currently affords members participation in
product risk committees and on the Board's Risk Committee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In particular, ICE Clear Europe has represented that the
recusal provisions in proposed Article 53 of its Shareholder
Articles would not prohibit member-affiliated directors from
participating in decisions relating to margin levels as a general
matter, decisions to clear new contracts, or other similar general
matters that are applicable to all members or particular classes of
clearing members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Relying on these findings and assurances, the Commission believes
that the proposed rule change is consistent with Sections 17A(b)(3)(C)
and (F) of the Act,\11\ and Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(C) and (F).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act
that the proposed rule change (SR-ICEEU-2017-007) be, and hereby is,
approved.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission
considered the proposal's impact on efficiency, competition, and
capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

    For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\14\

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 Series
Airplanes, and Model A340-200 and -300 Series Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule; rescission.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment rescinds airworthiness directive (AD) 2009-18-
19 for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by EASA, to rescind
EASA AD 2010-0083. The MCAI specifies the following:

    It has been assessed that multiple NRV [non-return valve]
failures in combination with certain trapped fuel cases could
potentially increase the quantity of unusable fuel on the aeroplane,
possibly leading to fuel starvation which could result in engines
in-flight shut down and would constitute an unsafe condition. To
prevent and detect this condition, EASA issued EASA AD 2010-0083.
    Based on in service experience, mainly on the results of the
operational test required by

EASA AD 2010-0083, Airbus has performed a safety analysis on the NRV
to check if the safety objectives are met.
    This analysis of the Collector Cell motive flow line NRV, taking
into account all failure scenarios, concludes that the previous non
compliance can be alleviated. Consequently, no unsafe condition
exists any more on the affected NRV.
    For the reasons described above, EASA AD 2010-0083 is cancelled.

    This AD rescinds the parallel FAA AD 2009-18-19.

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 10, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by rescinding an existing AD. That NPRM was published in the
Federal Register on December 30, 2010 (75 FR 82325) and proposed to
rescind AD 2009-18-19, Amendment 39-16016 (74 FR 46322, September 9,
2009). That AD was intended to address an unsafe condition on the
products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2009-18-19, EASA issued Airworthiness Directive
2010-0083-CN, dated September 20, 2010, to cancel EASA AD 2010-0083,
dated May 3, 2010, for the specified products. EASA AD 2010-0083-CN
states:

    It has been assessed that multiple NRV [non-return valve]
failures in combination with certain trapped fuel cases could
potentially increase the quantity of unusable fuel on the aeroplane,
possibly leading to fuel starvation which could result in engines
in-flight shut down and would constitute an unsafe condition. To
prevent and detect this condition, EASA issued EASA AD 2010-0083.
    Based on in service experience, mainly on the results of the
operational test required by EASA AD 2010-0083, Airbus has performed
a safety analysis on the NRV to check if the safety objectives are
met.
    This analysis of the Collector Cell motive flow line NRV, taking
into account all failure scenarios, concludes that the previous non
compliance can be alleviated. Consequently, no unsafe condition
exists any more on the affected NRV.
    For the reasons described above, EASA AD 2010-0083 is cancelled.

    This AD rescinds the parallel FAA AD 2009-18-19. 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 received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusions

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require the rescission of the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and, in general, agree with the
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.

Regulatory Findings

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

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, 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 75-26-05
for Bell Helicopter Textron (Bell) Model 204B, 205A-1 and 212
helicopters. AD 75-26-05 currently requires removing and visually
inspecting each main rotor (M/R) blade and, depending on the
inspection's outcome, repairing or replacing the M/R blades. This
proposed AD would require more frequent inspections of certain M/R
blades and would also apply to Model 205A helicopters. This proposed AD
would have no requirement that helicopter blades be removed to conduct
the initial visual inspections. These proposed actions are intended to
detect a crack and prevent failure of an M/R blade and subsequent loss
of helicopter control.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 5, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Docket: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for sending your
comments electronically.

closed if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay.
We may change this proposal in light of the comments we receive.

Discussion

    On December 3, 1975, we issued AD 75-26-05, Amendment 39-2457 (40
FR 57783, December 12, 1975) for Bell Model 204B, 205A-1, and 212
helicopters. AD 75-26-05 requires, at intervals not to exceed 12 months
installed time, visually inspecting the grip pad, grip plates,
doublers, drag plates, and adjacent surfaces for voids, edge voids,
corrosion, cracks, and adhesive squeeze-out along bond lines. AD 75-26-
05 prohibits returning to service any blade with a crack or an adhesive
void exceeding certain limits. For damage within certain limits, the M/
R blade can be repaired, refinished, and reinstalled.
    AD 75-26-05 was prompted by an evaluation of a cracked M/R blade
that concludes that initial cracking resulted from corrosion. These
actions were intended to detect a crack and corrosion and prevent
further corrosion in the M/R blade inboard portion.

Actions Since AD 75-26-05 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 75-26-05, Bell has evaluated an M/R blade
installed on a Model UH-1H helicopter with multiple fatigue cracks
around the blade retention bolt hole. The cracks resulted from a void
between the lower grip plate and the grip pad. A ``substantial'' void
also was found at the outboard doubler tip on the lower blade surface.
Different part-numbered M/R blades of the same type may also be
installed on Model 204B, 205A, and 205A-1 helicopters. We have
determined that more frequent inspections than those required by AD 75-
26-05 are necessary to detect cracking or certain damage. While AD 75-
26-05 requires removing the blades from the M/R hub, the inspections in
this proposed AD would not. AD 75-26-05 applies to the Model 212
helicopter, and this proposed AD would not because similar inspections
on Model 212 blades addressing the unsafe condition are required by AD
2011-23-02 (76 FR 68301, November 4, 2011). We are including specific
part-numbered blades in the applicability so that the proposed AD would
no longer be required if a new blade is designed that is not subject to
the unsafe condition.

FAA's Determination

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

Related Service Information

    Bell issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. UH-1H-13-09, dated
January 14, 2013, for the Model UH-1H helicopter (ASB UH-1H-13-09). ASB
UH-1H-13-09 specifies a one-time visual inspection, within 10 hours
time-in-service (TIS), of the lower grip pad and upper and lower grip
plates for cracks, edge voids, and loose or damaged adhesive squeeze-
out. ASB UH-1H-13-09 also specifies a repetitive visual inspection,
daily and at every 150

hours TIS, of the lower grip pad, upper and lower grip plates, and all
upper and the lower doublers for cracks, corrosion, edge voids, and
loose or damaged adhesive squeeze-out. Similar inspections are
contained in Bell ASB No. 204-75-1 (ASB 204-75-1) and No. 205-75-5 (ASB
205-75-5), both Revision C and both dated April 25, 1979, for Bell
Model 204B and 205A-1 helicopters, respectively. ASB 204-75-1 and ASB
205-75-5 call for daily inspections and for inspections, rework, and
refinishing every 1,000 hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs first.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require within 25 hours TIS or 2 weeks,
whichever occurs first, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 25
hours TIS or 2 weeks, whichever occurs first, cleaning the upper and
lower surfaces of each M/R blade from an area starting at the butt end
of the blade to three inches outboard of the doublers. The proposed AD
also would require visually inspecting various M/R parts for a crack or
corrosion using a 3X or higher power magnifying glass and a light.
    If there is a crack, corrosion, an edge void, loose or damaged
adhesive squeeze-out, or an edge delamination before further flight,
this proposed AD would require repairing the M/R blade or replacing it
with an airworthy M/R blade, depending on the condition's severity.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    The proposed AD would require all inspections every 25 hours TIS or
2 weeks, whichever occurs first. ASB UH-1H-13-09 specifies a one-time
inspection within 10 hours TIS, and then a second repetitive inspection
daily and at every 150 hours TIS, while ASB 204-75-1 and ASB 205-75-5
call for daily visual inspections, and inspections, rework, and
refinishing every 1,000 hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs first.
This proposed AD contains more detailed inspection requirements and a
more specific inspection area than the instructions in ASB UH-1H-13-09.
The service information applies to M/R blade, part number (P/N) 204-
011-250, and was issued for Model 204B and 205A-1 helicopters. The
proposed AD also applies to P/N 204-011-200, because this blade is of
the same type and susceptible to the unsafe condition. The proposed AD
also applies to certain M/R blades installed on the Model 205A
helicopters. While none of these models are registered in the U.S.,
they were included because of blade P/N eligibility.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 52 helicopters of
U.S. Registry and that labor costs average $85 a work-hour. Based on
these estimates, we expect the following costs:
    Cleaning and performing all inspections of a set of M/R blades (2
per helicopter) would require a half work-hour. No parts would be
needed. At an estimated 24 inspections a year, the cost would be $1,032
per helicopter and $53,664 for the U.S. fleet.
    Replacing an M/R blade would require 12 work hours and parts would
cost $90,656 for a total cost of $91,676 per blade.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
No. 75-26-05, Amendment 39-2457 (40 FR 57783, December 12, 1975), and
adding the following new AD:

Bell Helicopter Textron: Docket No. FAA-2015-3821; Directorate
Identifier 2014-SW-025-AD.

(a) Applicability

    This AD applies to Model 204B, 205A, and 205A-1 helicopters with
a main rotor (M/R) blade, part number (P/N) 204-011-200-001 or P/N
204-011-250-(all dash numbers), installed, certificated in any
category.

(b) Unsafe Condition

    This AD defines the unsafe condition as a crack in an M/R blade,
which could result in failure of an M/R blade and subsequent loss of
helicopter control.

(c) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 75-26-05, Amendment 39-2457 (40 FR 57783,
December 12, 1975).

(d) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by July 5, 2016.

(e) Compliance

    You are responsible for performing each action required by this
AD within the specified compliance time unless it has already been
accomplished prior to that time.

(f) Required Actions

    (1) Within 25 hours time-in-service (TIS) or 2 weeks, whichever
occurs first, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 25 hours TIS
or 2 weeks, whichever occurs first, clean the upper and lower
exposed surfaces of each M/R blade from an area starting at the butt
end of the blade to three inches outboard of the doublers. Using a
3X or higher power magnifying glass and a light, inspect as follows:

    (i) Visually inspect the exposed areas of the lower grip pad and
upper and lower grip plates of each M/R blade for a crack and any
corrosion.
    (ii) On the upper and lower exposed surfaces of each M/R blade
from blade stations 24.5 to 35 for the chord width, visually inspect
each layered doubler and blade skin for a crack and any corrosion.
Pay particular attention for any cracking in a doubler or skin near
or at the same blade station as the blade retention bolt hole (blade
station 28).
    (iii) Visually inspect the exposed areas of each bond line at
the edges of the lower grip pad, upper and lower grip plates, and
each layered doubler (bond lines) on the upper and lower surfaces of
each M/R blade for the entire length and chord width for an edge
void, any corrosion, loose or damaged adhesive squeeze-out, and an
edge delamination. Pay particular attention to any crack in the
paint finish that follows the outline of a grip pad, grip plate, or
doubler, and to any loose or damaged adhesive squeeze-out, as these
may be the indication of an edge void.
    (2) If there is a crack, any corrosion, an edge void, loose or
damaged adhesive squeeze-out, or an edge delamination during any
inspection in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, do
the following:
    (i) If there is a crack in a grip pad or any grip plate or
doubler, replace the M/R blade with an airworthy M/R blade.
    (ii) If there is a crack in the M/R blade skin that is within
maximum repair damage limits, repair the M/R blade. If the crack
exceeds maximum repair damage limits, replace the M/R blade with an
airworthy M/R blade.
    (iii) If there is any corrosion within maximum repair damage
limits, repair the M/R blade. If the corrosion exceeds maximum
repair damage limits, replace the M/R blade with an airworthy M/R
blade.
    (iv) If there is an edge void in the grip pad or in a grip plate
or doubler, determine the length and depth using a feeler gauge.
Repair the M/R blade if the edge void is within maximum repair
damage limits, or replace the M/R blade with an airworthy M/R blade.
    (v) If there is an edge void in a grip plate or doubler near the
outboard tip, tap inspect the affected area to determine the size
and shape of the void. Repair the M/R blade if the edge void is
within maximum repair damage limits, or replace the M/R blade with
an airworthy M/R blade.
    (vi) If there is any loose or damaged adhesive squeeze-out along
any of the bond lines, trim or scrape away the adhesive without
damaging the adjacent surfaces or parent material of the M/R blade.
Determine if there is an edge void or any corrosion by lightly
sanding the trimmed area smooth using 280 or finer grit paper. If
there is no edge void or corrosion, refinish the sanded area.
    (vii) If there is an edge delamination along any of the bond
lines or a crack in the paint finish, determine if there is an edge
void or a crack in the grip pad, grip plate, doubler, or skin by
removing paint from the affected area by lightly sanding in a span-
wise direction using 180-220 grit paper. If there are no edge voids
and no cracks, refinish the sanded area.
    (viii) If any parent material is removed during any sanding or
trimming in paragraphs (f)(2)(vi) or (f)(2)(vii) of this AD, repair
the M/R blade if the damage is within maximum repair damage limits,
or replace the M/R blade with an airworthy M/R blade.

(g) Special Flight Permit

    Special flight permits are prohibited.

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Fort Worth Aircraft Certification Office, FAA,
may approve AMOCs for this AD. Send your proposal to: Charles

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Developing Drugs for
Treatment.'' ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that
primarily affects motor neurons in the cerebral motor cortex,
brainstem, and spinal cord, leading to loss of voluntary movement and
difficulty in swallowing, speaking, and breathing. The purpose of this
guidance is to assist sponsors in the clinical development of drugs for
the treatment of ALS. Specifically, it addresses FDA's current thinking
regarding the clinical development program and clinical trial designs
for drugs to support an indication for the treatment of ALS. This
guidance addresses the clinical development of drugs intended to treat
the main neuromuscular aspects of ALS (i.e., muscle weakness and its
direct consequences, including shortened survival).
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on developing
drugs for the treatment of ALS. It does not establish any rights for
any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable
statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive
Order 12866.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0014, the collections of
information in 21 CFR part 314 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0001, and the collections of information referred to in the
guidance for industry entitled ``Establishment and Operation of
Clinical Trial Data Monitoring Committees'' (available at https://www.fda.gov/downloads/RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/ucm127073.pdf)
have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0581.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the draft guidance
at either https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm or
