14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0599; Directorate Identifier 2011-NE-19-AD;
Amendment 39-16922; AD 2012-01-10]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General
Electric Company (GE) CF34-10E series turbofan engines. This AD was
prompted by a report of heavy wear found on the seating surface of the
center vent duct (CVD) (commonly referred to as center vent tube)
support ring and on the inside diameter of the fan drive shaft at the
mating location. This AD requires removing from service all CVD support
assemblies and any fan drive shaft on the affected engines if wear is
found on either the CVD support ring or the fan drive shaft. We are
issuing this AD to prevent fan drive shaft failure, leading to
uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective February 27, 2012.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact GE-
Aviation, M/D Rm. 285, One Neumann Way, Cincinnati, OH 45215, phone:

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 published in the Federal

Register on October 18, 2011 (76 FR 64287). That NPRM proposed to
require removing from service all CVD support assemblies and any fan
drive shaft on the affected engines if wear is found on either the CVD
support ring or the inside diameter of the fan drive shaft.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Include an Engine Serial Number (S/N)

    One commenter, Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services, requests that
we include engine S/N 994187 in the applicability. They cite the GE All
Operators Wire they received as being accurate with the affected engine
S/Ns, which includes S/N 994187.
    We agree. We added S/N 994187.

Request To Allow Previous Credit

    One commenter, GE, requests that we allow previous credit for
engines with records of prior CVD support assembly replacement and fan
drive shaft inspection per the Engine Manual, before the effective date
of the AD.
    We agree that previous credit should be allowed. Paragraph (e) of
the AD requires compliance before accumulating 11,500 total cycles-in-
service on the engine, unless already done. We did not change the AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the change described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 71 GE CF34-10E series turbofan
engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it will take about 8 work-hours per engine to perform a replacement of
the CVD support assembly and visual inspections, and that the average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. A replacement CVD support assembly
costs about $3,080. We estimate that two fan drive shafts will fail
inspection and require replacement. A replacement fan drive shaft costs
about $126,900. We estimate that no additional labor costs would be
incurred to perform the required part replacements as the replacements
are done at time of scheduled engine shop visit. Based on these
figures, we estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be
$520,760.

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

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2012-01-10 General Electric Company: Amendment 39-16922; Docket No.
FAA-2011-0599; Directorate Identifier 2011-NE-19-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective February 27, 2012.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to General Electric Company (GE) CF34-10E series
turbofan engines, serial number (S/N) 994116, and S/Ns 994118
through 994187, inclusive.

(d) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a report of heavy wear found on the
seating surface of the center vent duct (CVD) (commonly referred to
as center vent tube) support ring and on the inside diameter of the
fan drive shaft at the mating location. The wear is caused by
relative motion between the CVD support assembly (consisting of
self-locking nut, part number (P/N) 2226M57G03, threaded sleeve, P/N
2226M55P03, and support ring, P/N 2226M56P01) and the fan drive
shaft, during engine operation. We are issuing this AD to prevent
fan drive shaft failure, leading to uncontained engine failure and
damage to the airplane.

(e) Compliance

    Comply with this AD before accumulating 11,500 total cycles-in-
service on the engine, unless already done.

(f) Removal from Service of CVD Support Assembly and Determination of
Fan Drive Shaft Serviceability

    Visually inspect the seating surface of the CVD support ring for
wear.
    (1) If there is sign of wear on the CVD support ring, remove the
CVD support assembly and the fan drive shaft from service before
further flight.
    (2) If there is no sign of wear on the CVD support ring, remove
the CVD support assembly from service and borescope inspect the
inside diameter of the fan drive shaft at the CVD support ring
contact area for wear.
    (3) If there is sign of wear on the inside diameter of the fan
drive shaft, remove the fan drive shaft from service before further
flight.

(g) Installation Prohibition

    After the effective date of this AD, do not return to service
any CVD support assembly (consisting of self-locking nut, P/N
2226M57G03, threaded sleeve, P/N 2226M55P03, and support ring, P/N
2226M56P01) or fan drive shaft removed from service as specified in
this AD.

(h) Definition

    For the purposes of this AD, the phrase ``sign of wear'' is
defined as any visual indication of removal of parent material from
the CVD seating surface or the fan drive shaft.

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    The Manager, Engine Certification Office, FAA, may approve AMOCs
for this AD. Use the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to make your
request.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 10A-1; SEC File No. 270-425; OMB Control No. 3235-0468.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 10A-1 (17 CFR 240.10A-1) implements the reporting requirements
in Section 10A of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78j-1) which was enacted
by Congress on December 22, 1995 as part of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Public Law 104-67, 109 Stat 737. Under
section 10A and Rule 10A-1 reporting occurs only if a registrant's
board of directors receives a report from its auditor that: (1) There
is an illegal act material to the registrant's financial statements,
(2) senior management and the board have not taken timely and
appropriate remedial action, and (3) the failure to take such action is
reasonably expected to warrant the auditor's modification of the audit
report or resignation from the audit engagement. The board of directors
must notify the Commission within one business day of receiving such a
report. If the board fails to provide that notice, then the auditor,
within the next business day, must provide the Commission with a copy
of the report that it gave to the board.
    Likely respondents are those registrants filing audited financial
statements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a, et
seq.) and the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1, et
seq.).
    It is estimated that Rule 10A-1 results in an aggregate additional
reporting burden of 10 hours per year. The estimated average burden
hours are solely for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are
not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or
study of the costs of SEC rules or forms.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312, or send an
e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: Executive Order 12862, ``Setting
Customer Service Standards,'' directs Federal agencies to provide
service to the public that matches or exceeds the best service
available in the private sector (58 FR 48257, Sept. 11, 1993). In order
to work continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet
our customers' needs, FMCSA seeks to extend OMB approval of a generic
clearance to collect qualitative feedback from our customers on our
service delivery. The surveys covered in this generic clearance provide
a way for FMCSA to collect this data directly from our customers.
    The proposed future information collection activity provides a
means to garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an
efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration's
commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and
opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative
results that can be generalized to the population of study. This
feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of
issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication,
training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or
services. The information collected from our customers and stakeholders
will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient and satisfying
experience with FMCSA's programs.
    The solicitation of feedback will target areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of issues with service delivery.
Responses will be assessed to plan and inform efforts to improve or
maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If this
information is not collected, vital feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency's services will be unavailable.
    The Agency will only submit a collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the following conditions:
     The collections are voluntary;

     The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or
burden-hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents
and the Federal Government;
     The collections are non-controversial and do not raise
issues of concern to other Federal agencies;
     Any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions
from respondents who have experience with the program or may have
experience with the program in the near future;
     Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected
only to the extent necessary and is not retained;
     Information gathered will be used only internally for
general service improvement and program management purposes and is not
intended for release outside of the agency;
     Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of
substantially informing influential policy decisions; and
     Information gathered will yield qualitative information;
the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically
reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the
population of study.
    Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful
information, but it does not yield data that can be generalized to the
overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative
information will not be used for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as
monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such
data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target
population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame,
the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the
precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing
potential non-response bias, the protocols for data collection, and any
testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding
the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for
other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative
results.
    As a general matter, information collections will not result in any
new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask
questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes,
religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered
private.
    Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0049.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently-approved information
collection.
    Respondents: State and local agencies, the general public and
stakeholders, original equipment manufacturers and suppliers to the
commercial motor vehicle (CMV) industry, fleets, owner-operators, state
CMV safety agencies, research organizations and contractors, news
organizations, safety advocacy groups, and other Federal agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 9,270.
    Estimated Time per Response: Range from 5-30 minutes.
    Expiration Date: March 31, 2018.
    Frequency of Response: Generally, on an annual basis.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,233.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA to enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize or include your
comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.

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

participation in the re-opening (following a halt, suspension, or
pause) of a primary listing market (BATS, NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE MKT, or
NYSE Arca) if received before the re-opening time of such market; and
(ii) amend the ROOC routing option to remove a provision regarding not
routing orders in BATS listed securities designated for participation
in the re-opening process on BATS following a halt, suspension, or
pause.

Web site at www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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 Exchange 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 these 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
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 11.11, Routing to Away Trading
Centers, to: (i) Enable Users \7\ to designate their orders for
participation in the re-opening (following a halt, suspension, or
pause) of a primary listing market (BATS, NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE MKT, or
NYSE Arca); and (ii) amend the ROOC routing option to remove a
provision regarding not routing orders in BATS listed securities
designated for participation in the re-opening process on BATS
following a halt, suspension, or pause. The Exchange currently offers
the ROOC routing option, under which Users may designate their orders
for participation in the opening or closing process, in addition to the
re-opening (following a halt, suspension, or pause), of a primary
listing market, if received before the opening/re-opening/closing time
of such market.\8\ However, some Users only wish that their orders be
routed to participate in the primary market's re-opening process, and
not its opening or closing processes. Therefore, the Exchange proposes
to enable Users to designate their orders for participation in the re-
opening of a primary listing market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The term ``User'' is defined as ``any Member or Sponsored
Participant who is authorized to obtain access to the System
pursuant to Rule 11.3.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(ee).
    \8\ See Exchange Rule 11.11(g)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed optionality would operate like the current ROOC
routing option, but for routing to the primary listing market's opening
or closing process. Lastly, like the ROOC routing option, any remaining
shares will either be posted to the EDGX Book, executed, or routed to
destinations on the System routing table.\9\ Should no halt,
suspension, or pause occur on the primary listing market, such orders
would remain on the EDGX Book, executed, or routed to destinations on
the System routing table.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The term ``System routing table'' refers to the proprietary
process for determining the specific options exchanges to which the
System routes orders and the order in which it routes them. See
Exchange Rule 11.11(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Exchange proposes to amend the ROOC routing option
to remove a provision regarding not routing orders in BATS listed
securities designated for participation in the re-opening process on
BATS following a halt, suspension, or pause. Previously, due to system
limitations, the Exchange was unable to route orders in BATS listed
securities to participate in the re-opening process on BATS following a
halt, suspension or pause. In such case, the orders remained on the
EDGX Book \10\ and became eligible for execution once the halt,
suspension, or pause has been lifted. The Exchange has since performed
the necessary system modifications and removed this restriction from
its system. The Exchange is now able to route orders in BATS listed
securities to BATS to participate in the reopening following a halt,
suspension or pause pursuant to the ROOC routing option. Therefore, the
Exchange proposes to remove this

restriction from the description of the ROOC routing option under Rule
11.11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The term ``EDGX Book'' is defined as ``the System's
electronic file of orders.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \11\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \12\ in particular, in that it is designed 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. Certain Users whose orders
are resting on the EDGX Book may wish that their order only be routed
to the primary market's re-opening process following a halt, suspension
or pause, and not the primary market's opening or closing processes.
The proposed rule change promotes just and equitable principles of
trade because it would provide such Users with additional flexibility
where they wish that their order only be eligible to route to the
primary listing market to participate in the re-opening process
following a halt, suspension or pause. In addition, and as discussed
above, the proposed rule change is similar to the Exchange's current
ROOC routing option.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also believes its proposal to remove a provision from
the description of the ROOC routing option regarding not routing orders
in BATS listed securities designated for participation in the re-
opening process on BATS following a halt, suspension, or pause is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \13\ in that it intended
[sic] to make the Exchange's rules clearer and less confusing for
investors by eliminating a provision that is no longer necessary.
Previously, due to system limitations, the Exchange was unable to route
orders in BATS listed securities to participate in the re-opening
process on BATS following a halt, suspension or pause. The Exchange has
since removed this restriction from its system. The proposed change
updates the description of the ROOC routing option to remove this
restriction for BATS listed securities as the Exchange is now able to
route such orders to BATS to participate in the opening process
following a halt, suspension or pause. Therefore, the Exchange believes
the proposal removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general,
protects investors and the public interest because it would enable the
Exchange to treat orders in BATS listed securities that are subject to
the ROOC routing option like NYSE and Nasdaq listed securities and
route such order [sic] to the re-opening process on BATS following a
halt, suspension or pause.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposal will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that its proposal would
increase competition because it offers Users an alternative means to
route orders to the primary listing market to participate in the re-
opening following a halt, suspension, or pause as if they entered
orders on that market directly. In addition, the proposed rule change
amendment to the ROOC routing option is not designed to address any
competitive issues but rather avoid investor confusion by updating the
rule text to reflect current system functionality.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    Because the proposed rule change does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, 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 \14\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon
filing. The Exchange stated that waiver of the operative delay will
allow the ROOC routing option to be used to route orders in BATS listed
securities to BATS to participate in the re-opening process on BATS.
The Exchange also stated that the proposal would enable orders in BATS
listed securities to be treated like orders in NYSE and Nasdaq listed
securities when using the ROOC routing option. Moreover, the Exchange
stated that the proposed new routing functionality would operate like
its current ROOC routing option and would provide Users with additional
flexibility to have their orders routed only to the primary market's
re-opening process. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative
delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon
filing.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also 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 summarily may temporarily suspend 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

[Docket No. FDA-2014-P-0549]

Determination That SULAR (Nisoldipine) Extended-Release Tablets,
10 Milligrams, 20 Milligrams, 25.5 Milligrams, 30 Milligrams, and 40
Milligrams, Were Not Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of Safety or
Effectiveness

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that
SULAR (nisoldipine) extended-release tablets, 10 milligrams (mg), 20
mg, 25.5 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg, were not withdrawn from sale for reasons
of safety or effectiveness. This determination means that FDA will not
begin procedures to withdraw approval of abbreviated new drug
applications (ANDAs) that refer to these drug products, and it will
allow FDA to approve ANDAs for nisoldipine extended-release tablets, 10
mg, 20 mg, 25.5 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg, if all other legal and regulatory
requirements are met.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emily Gebbia, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6217, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 240-
402-0980.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417)
(the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate
versions of drug products under an ANDA procedure. ANDA applicants
must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which they are
seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the same
strength and dosage form as the ``listed drug,'' which is a version of
the drug that was previously approved. ANDA applicants do not have to
repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain
approval of a new drug application (NDA).
    The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which
requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes
this list as part of the ``Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic
Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is known generally as the ``Orange
Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs are removed from the list if the
Agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug's NDA or ANDA for
reasons of safety or effectiveness or if FDA determines that the listed
drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness (21
CFR 314.162).
    A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may
determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug was withdrawn
from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination
may be made at any time after the drug has been withdrawn from sale,
but must be made prior to approving an ANDA that refers to the listed
drug (Sec.  314.161 (21 CFR 314.161)). FDA may not approve an ANDA that
does not refer to a listed drug.
    SULAR (nisoldipine) extended-release tablets, 10 mg, 20 mg, 25.5
mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg, is the subject of NDA 20-356, held by Shionogi
Inc., and initially approved on February 2, 1995. SULAR is indicated
for the treatment of hypertension.
    SULAR (nisoldipine) extended-release tablets, 10 mg, 20 mg, 25.5
mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg, are currently listed in the ``Discontinued Drug
Product List'' section of the Orange Book. Emcure Pharmaceuticals USA,
Inc., submitted a citizen petition dated April 28, 2014 (Docket No.
FDA-2014-P-0549), under 21 CFR 10.30, requesting that the Agency
determine whether SULAR (nisoldipine) extended-release tablets, 25.5
mg, was withdrawn from sale for

reasons of safety or effectiveness. Although the citizen petition did
not address the 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg strengths, those
strengths have also been discontinued. On our own initiative, we have
also determined whether those strengths were withdrawn for safety or
effectiveness reasons.
    After considering the citizen petition and reviewing Agency records
and based on the information we have at this time, FDA has determined
under Sec.  314.161 that SULAR (nisoldipine) extended-release tablets,
10 mg, 20 mg, 25.5 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg were not withdrawn for reasons
of safety or effectiveness. We have carefully reviewed our files for
records concerning the withdrawal of SULAR (nisoldipine) extended-
release tablets, 10 mg, 20 mg, 25.5 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg from sale. We
have also independently evaluated relevant literature and data for
possible postmarketing adverse events. We have found no information
that would indicate that these products were withdrawn from sale for
reasons of safety or effectiveness. Moreover, the petitioner has
identified no data or other information suggesting that SULAR
(nisoldipine) extended-release tablets, 25.5 mg, was withdrawn for
reasons of safety or effectiveness.
    Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list SULAR (nisoldipine)
extended-release tablets, 10 mg, 20 mg, 25.5 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg, in
the ``Discontinued Drug Product List'' section of the Orange Book. The
``Discontinued Drug Product List'' delineates, among other items, drug
products that have been discontinued from marketing for reasons other
than safety or effectiveness. FDA will not begin procedures to withdraw
approval of the approved ANDAs that refer to SULAR (nisoldipine)
extended-release tablets. Additional ANDAs that refer to SULAR
(nisoldipine) extended-release tablets, 10 mg, 20 mg, 25.5 mg, 30 mg,
and 40 mg, may be approved by the Agency as long as they meet all other
legal and regulatory requirements for the approval of ANDAs. If FDA
determines that labeling for this drug product should be revised to
meet current standards, the Agency will advise ANDA applicants to
submit such labeling.

    Dated: August 19, 2014.

Associate Commissioner for Policy and Planning.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56653; File No. SR-NASD-2007-056]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (n/k/a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.);
Order Approving Proposed Rule Change To Establish a Membership Waive-In
Process for Certain NYSE Member Organizations

 October 12, 2007.

I. Introduction

    On July 25, 2007, the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (``NASD'') (n/k/a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'')) \1\ filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'' or ``SEC'') pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\3\ a proposed rule change to adopt Interpretive Material
1013-1 (``IM-1013-1''), a membership waive-in process for certain New
York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'') member organizations, and Interpretive
Material Section 4(b)(1) and 4(e) (``IM-Section 4(b)(1) and 4(e)'') to
Schedule A of the By-Laws, a membership application fee waiver for
those NYSE member organizations that apply for membership pursuant to
IM-1013-1. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the
Federal Register on September 7, 2007.\4\ The Commission received no
comment letters on the proposed rule change. This order approves the
proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On July 26, 2007, the Commission approved a proposed rule
change filed by NASD to amend NASD's Certificate of Incorporation to
reflect its name change to the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc., or FINRA, in connection with the consolidation of
the member firm regulatory functions of NASD and NYSE Regulation,
Inc. (``NYSE Regulation''). See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
56146 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42190 (August 1, 2007).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56347 (August 31,
2007), 72 FR 51483 (``Notice'').

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

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    In connection with the recently approved plan to consolidate the
member regulation operations of NASD and NYSE Regulation into a single
organization (``Transaction''),\5\ NASD proposed to establish a waive-
in process to enable approximately 95 NYSE member organizations that
are not also NASD members to become members of FINRA. The proposed
waive-in process would apply to firms that, as of July 25, 2007: (1)
Are approved NYSE member organizations; or (2) have submitted an
application to become an NYSE member organization and are subsequently
approved for NYSE membership (together, ``NYSE-only member
organizations''), provided that such firms were not also NASD members
as of the closing of the Transaction (i.e., as of July 30, 2007).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ On July 26, 2007, the Commission approved amendments to
NASD's By-Laws to implement governance and related changes to
accommodate the consolidation of the member firm regulatory
functions of NASD and NYSE Regulation, Inc. See Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 56145 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42169 (August 1, 2007).
The date of closing of the Transaction was July 30, 2007.
    \6\ The NYSE filed a companion proposal to amend NYSE Rule 2(b)
to require its member organizations to be members of FINRA, which
the Commission approved today. See Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 56654 (SR-NYSE-2007-67) (``Release No. 34-56654'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    IM-1013-1 would establish a process to allow NYSE-only member
organizations to become automatically FINRA members and to register
automatically all associated persons whose registrations are approved
with NYSE in registration categories recognized by FINRA, upon
submission to FINRA's Member Regulation Department (``Department'') of
a signed waive-in membership application (``Waive-In Application'').\7\
The Department would review the Waive-In Application within three
business days of receipt and, if complete, issue a letter notifying the
applicant that it has been approved for membership. The Membership
Agreement would become effective on the date of such notification
letter.\8\ In addition, the proposed rule change would create IM-
Section 4(b)(1) and 4(e) to Schedule A of the NASD By-Laws, which would
exempt the applicants from the fee for each initial Form U-4 for the
registration of any representative or principal associated with the
firm at the time it submits its application for FINRA membership
pursuant to IM-1013-1 and from the FINRA membership application fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Waive-In Application would require information such as:
(1) General company information (including the Central Registration
Depository (``CRD'') Number and contact person); (2) an attestation
that all information on the applicant's CRD form, as of the date of
submission of the Waive-In Application is accurate and complete and
fully reflects all aspects of the applicant's current business,
including, but not limited to, ownership structure, management,
product lines and disclosures; (3) the identity of the firm's
Executive Representative; (4) completed and signed Entitlement
Forms; (5) a signed FINRA Membership Agreement; and (6)
representations that the applicant's Uniform Application for Broker-
Dealer Registration (Form BD) will be amended as needed to keep
current and accurate, that all individual and entity registrations
with FINRA will be kept current; and that all information and
statements contained in the Waive-In Application are current, true
and complete.
    \8\ The Commission notes that, under the amendment to NYSE Rule
2(b), which was approved today, NYSE-only member organizations are
provided a 60 day grace period within which they must apply for and
be approved for FINRA membership. See Release No. 34-56654, supra
note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As set forth in proposed IM-1013-1, the NYSE-only member
organizations admitted to FINRA membership would be subject to the NYSE
rules incorporated by FINRA, FINRA's By-Laws and Schedules to By-Laws,
including Schedule A (Assessments and Fees), and NASD Rule 8000
(Investigations and Sanctions) and Rule 9000 (Code of Procedure)
Series, provided that their securities business is limited to floor
brokerage on the NYSE, or routing away to other markets orders that are
ancillary to their core floor business under NYSE Rule 70.40
(``permitted floor activities'').\9\ If an NYSE-only member
organization admitted pursuant to proposed IM-1013-1 seeks to expand
its business operations to include any activities other than the
permitted floor activities, such firm must apply for and receive
approval to engage in such business activity pursuant to NASD Rule
1017. Upon approval of such business expansion, the firm would become
subject to all NASD rules, in addition to those NYSE rules incorporated
by FINRA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ For purposes of this filing, activities that are ancillary
to a Floor broker's core business include: (i) Routing orders in
NYSE-traded securities to an away market for any reason relating to
their ongoing Floor activity, including regulatory compliance or
meeting best-execution obligations; or (ii) provided that the
majority of transactions effected by the firm are effected on the
NYSE, sending to other markets orders in NYSE-traded or non-NYSE-
traded securities and/or futures if such orders relate to hedging
positions in NYSE-traded securities, or are part of arbitrage or
program trade strategies that include NYSE-traded securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, associated persons of an NYSE-only member organization
admitted to FINRA pursuant to IM-1013-1 would be subject to the same
set of rules as the firm with which they are associated, namely the
NYSE rules incorporated by FINRA, FINRA's By-Laws and Schedules to By-
Laws, and the NASD Rule 8000 and 9000 Series.

III. Discussion

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
association.\10\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 15A(b)(2) of the Exchange
Act,\11\ which requires a national securities association to be so
organized and have the capacity to carry out the purposes of the
Exchange Act and to enforce compliance by its members and persons
associated with its members with the provisions of the Exchange Act.
Further, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 15A(b)(6) of the Exchange Act,\12\ in that it
is designed, among other things, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices; 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission
notes that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(2).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposed rule change is intended
to facilitate the consolidation of the member firm regulation functions
of NASD and NYSE Regulation under a single self-regulatory
organization, thereby encouraging more effective and efficient
regulation of brokers and dealers and their associated persons. The
Commission notes that NYSE has a comprehensive membership application
and review process.\13\ Accordingly, eligible NYSE-only member
organizations that will become FINRA members pursuant to the waive-in
process already have been subject to NYSE's extensive screening
process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See, e.g., NYSE Rules 301 (Qualifications for Membership)
and 304A (Member and Allied Member Examination Requirements).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change provides eligible NYSE-only member
organizations (and their associated persons) with an expedited process
to become FINRA members, provided that they engage in permitted floor
activities only. Moreover, an eligible NYSE-only member organization
would not be assessed either FINRA's membership application fee or the
initial Form U-4 registration fee when it submits its application for
FINRA membership.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\14\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NASD-2007-056), be, and it
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In December 2016, PHMSA issued an interim
final rule (IFR) titled: ``Pipeline Safety: Underground Natural Gas
Storage Facilities'' (81 FR 91860). In the IFR, PHMSA established
minimum federal safety standards for intrastate and interstate
underground natural gas storage facilities under its regulatory
authority at 49 U.S.C. 60101 and 60102 and as directed by section 12 of
the ``Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety
Act of 2016.'' On January 18, 2017, the American Gas Association, the
American Petroleum Institute, the American Public Gas Association, and
the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) jointly
submitted a petition seeking reconsideration of certain provisions of
the IFR. (INGAA has since withdrawn from the petition.)
    Recognizing that the IFR set certain deadlines by which the
operators of underground natural gas storage facilities must act but
that would occur before PHMSA could adopt a final rule, PHMSA published
a notice on June 20, 2017, in the Federal Register (82 FR 28224),
announcing that (1) the agency would not issue enforcement citations to
operators for non-compliance with certain provisions of the IFR for a
period of one year after publication of the final rule, and (2) it
intended to address the issues raised by the petitioners in the final
rule. For these reasons, PHMSA is now providing the public with an
additional opportunity to comment on the IFR and an opportunity to
comment on the issues raised in the petition. PHMSA is therefore
reopening the comment period for this IFR until November 20, 2017. All
documents and comments related to this matter are available for review
at http://www.regulations.gov in docket number PHMSA-2016-0016.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on October 11, 2017, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.
Alan K. Mayberry,
Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.
