[Docket No. FAA-2020-0463; Product Identifier 2013-SW-041-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to remove Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-
17-01, which applies to certain Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B,
AS350BA, AS350B1, AS350B2, AS350B3, AS350C, AS350D, AS350D1, AS355E,
AS355F, AS355F1, AS355F2, AS355N, and AS355NP helicopters. AD 2015-17-
01 requires certain inspections of each tail rotor pitch horn assembly
(pitch horn) for a crack, replacement of a cracked pitch horn, and a
repetitive visual inspection of certain pitch horns. AD 2015-17-01 is
no longer necessary because the cause of the unsafe condition has been
removed from all affected helicopter models. Accordingly, the FAA
proposes to remove AD 2015-17-01.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 27,
2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2020-0463;
Product Identifier 2013-SW-041-AD'' at the beginning of your comments.
The FAA specifically invites comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this NPRM. The FAA will

NPRM because of those comments.
    The FAA will post all comments received, without change, to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide.
The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

Discussion

    The FAA issued AD 2015-17-01, Amendment 39-18234 (80 FR 50554,
August 20, 2015) (``AD 2015-17-01''), for certain Airbus Helicopters
Model AS350B, AS350BA, AS350B1, AS350B2, AS350B3, AS350C, AS350D,
AS350D1, AS355E, AS355F, AS355F1, AS355F2, AS355N, and AS355NP
helicopters. AD 2015-17-01 requires certain inspections of each pitch
horn for a crack, repetitive visual inspections of certain pitch horns
for a crack, replacing a cracked pitch horn before further flight, and
before installing any pitch horn having part number 350A121368 with
more than 0 hours time-in-service, dye-penetrant inspecting it for a
crack. AD 2015-17-01 was prompted by a report of a crack in the yoke of
a pitch horn and is intended to detect a crack in the pitch horn to
prevent failure of the pitch horn, loss of the anti-torque function,
and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. The FAA issued AD
2015-17-01 to detect a crack in the pitch horn to prevent failure of
the pitch horn, loss of the anti-torque function, and subsequent loss
of control of the helicopter.

Actions Since AD 2015-17-01 Was Issued

    Since issuing AD 2015-17-01, the FAA has determined that the chin
weights installed per Airbus Modification 07 5601 (that caused the
pitch horn to crack) can only be installed on Model AS350B3
helicopters. The FAA had previously issued AD 2014-05-10, Amendment 39-
17783 (79 FR 17408, March 28, 2014), which requires Model AS350B3
helicopters to remove the chin weights. The FAA has determined that
with the chin weights removed, the unsafe condition no longer exists on
Model AS350 and AS355 helicopters.

FAA's Conclusions

    Upon further consideration, the FAA has determined that AD 2015-17-
01 is no longer necessary. Accordingly, this proposed AD would remove
AD 2015-17-01. Removal of AD 2015-17-01 would not preclude the FAA from
issuing another related action or commit the FAA to any course of
action in the future.

Related Costs of Compliance

    This proposed AD would add no cost. This proposed AD would remove
AD 2015-17-01 from 14 CFR part 39; therefore, operators would no longer
be required to show compliance with that AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA has 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 above, I certify that the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Medicated Feed Mill License Application--21 CFR Part 515

OMB Control Number 0910-0337--Extension

    Feed manufacturers that seek to manufacture feed using Category II,
Type A medicated articles or manufacture certain liquid and free-choice
feed, using Category I, Type A medicated articles that must follow
proprietary formulas or specifications are required to obtain a
facility license under section 512 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b). Our regulations in part 515
(21 CFR part 515) establish the procedures associated with applying for
a facility license. We require that a manufacturer seeking a facility
license submit a completed medicated feed mill license application
using Form FDA 3448 (Sec.  515.10(b) (21 CFR 515.10(b))). We use the
information submitted to establish that the applicant has made the
certifications required by section 512 of the FD&C Act, to register the
mill, and to schedule a pre-approval inspection.
    We require the submission of a supplemental medicated feed mill
license application for a change in facility ownership or a change in
facility address (Sec.  515.11(b) (21 CFR 515.11(b))). If a licensed
facility is no longer manufacturing medicated animal feed under Sec.
515.23 (21 CFR 515.23), a manufacturer may request voluntary revocation
of a medicated feed mill license. An applicant also has the right to
file a request for hearing under Sec.  515.30(c) (21 CFR 515.30(c)) to
give reasons why a medicated feed mill license should not be refused or
revoked.
    In the Federal Register of December 26, 2018 (83 FR 66280), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

    These estimates are based on our experience with medicated feed
mill license applications. We estimate that we will receive 14
medicated feed mill license applications, 54 supplemental applications,
29 requests for voluntary revocation, and that these submissions will
take approximately 15 minutes per response, as shown in table 1, rows 1
through 3. We estimate that preparing a request for a hearing under
Sec.  515.30(c) takes approximately 4 hours, as shown in table 1, row
4. In table 2, we estimate that 837 licensees will keep the records
required by 21 CFR 510.305, expending a total of 25 hours annually.
    Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an
overall decrease of 2 hours and a corresponding decrease of 56
responses/records. We attribute this adjustment to a net decrease in
the number of submissions we received over the last few years.

Acceptance Criteria for Portable Oxygen Concentrators Used on
Board Aircraft; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Office of the
Secretary (OST), Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects a final rule which replaces the
existing process by which the Federal Aviation Administration (Agency
or FAA) approves portable oxygen concentrators (POC) for use on board
aircraft in air carrier operations, commercial operations, and certain
other operations using large aircraft. The FAA currently assesses each
POC make and model on a case-by-case basis and if the FAA determines
that a particular POC is safe for use on board an aircraft, the FAA
conducts rulemaking to identify the specific POC model in an FAA
regulation. The final rule replaces the current process and allows
passengers to use a POC on board an aircraft if the POC satisfies
certain acceptance criteria and bears a label indicating conformance
with the acceptance criteria. The labeling requirement only affects
POCs intended for use on board aircraft that were not previously
approved for use on aircraft by the FAA. Additionally, the rulemaking
will eliminate redundant operational requirements and paperwork
requirements related to the physician's statement. As a result, the
rulemaking will reduce burdens for POC manufacturers, passengers who
use POCs while traveling, and affected aircraft operators. The final
rule also made conforming amendments to the Department of
Transportation's (Department or DOT) rule implementing the Air Carrier
Access Act (ACAA) to require carriers to accept all POC models that
meet FAA acceptance criteria as detailed in this rule.

DATES: This correction will become effective on July 5, 2016.

    On May 24, 2016, the FAA published a final rule entitled,
``Acceptance Criteria for Portable Oxygen Concentrators Used On Board
Aircraft'' (81 FR 33098).
    The final rule affects the use of POCs on board aircraft in
operations conducted under title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) parts 121, 125, and 135, by replacing the existing FAA case-
by-case approval process for each make and model of POC in Special
Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 106, with FAA acceptance
criteria. Under SFAR No. 106, each time the FAA approves a specific
model of POC for use on board aircraft, the agency updates the list of
approved POCs in the SFAR.
    The final rule removes SFAR No. 106 and replaces it with POC
acceptance criteria and specific labeling requirements to identify POCs
that conform to the acceptance criteria. POCs that conform to the final
rule acceptance criteria will be allowed on board aircraft without
additional FAA review and rulemaking.
    As with existing requirements for FAA approval of POCs that may be
used on aircraft, the final rule acceptance criteria and labeling
requirement only apply to POCs intended for use on board aircraft.
    However, the final rule was published with an incorrect references
to AC 120-95B, when the new AC is actually AC 120-95A.

Correction

    In FR Doc. 2016-11908, pages 33102, 33111, and 33113, in the
Federal Register of May 24, 2016, make the following corrections:
    1. On page 33102, third column, footnote 5, first line, correct
``AC 120-95B'' to ``AC 120-95'';
    2. On page 33111, in the first column, tenth line from the bottom,
correct ``AC 120-95B'' to read as ``AC 120-95A'';
    3. On page 33113, in the first column, third line from the top in
parenthesis, correct ``AC 120-95B'' to read as ``AC 120-95A'';
    4. On page 33113, in the second column, second paragraph,
thirteenth line, correct ``AC 120-95B'' to read as ``AC 120-95A''.

    Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements of the HCFC
Allowance System.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2014.03, OMB Control No. 2060-0498.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on June 30,
2006. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included on
the related collection instrument or form, if applicable.
    Abstract: In order to continue to meet its obligations under the
Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol)
and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), EPA maintains an
allowance system for class II controlled substances or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). Under the Protocol, the U.S. is
obligated to limit HCFC consumption (defined by the Protocol as
production plus imports, minus exports) under a specific cap. The U.S.
is also a signatory to amendments that froze HCFC production on January
1, 2004. EPA is controlling U.S. production and import of HCFCs by
granting baseline allowances based on the historical activity levels of
producers and importers. Since each allowance will be equal to 1
kilogram of HCFC, EPA will be able to monitor the quantity of HCFCs
being produced, imported, exported, transformed, or destroyed. There
are two types of allowances: Consumption allowances and production
allowances. Transfers of production and consumption allowances among
producers and importers are allowed. Producers, importers, and
exporters are required to submit to EPA quarterly reports of the
quantity of HCFCs in each of their transactions; they are also required
to report the quantity of HCFCs transformed or destroyed. EPA requires
all producers, importers, and exporters maintain records such as
Customs entry forms, bills of lading, sales records, and canceled
checks to support their quarterly reports. The quarterly reports may be
faxed or mailed to EPA and soon may be submitted electronically, where
they are handled as confidential business information. EPA stores the
submitted information in a computerized database designed to track
allowance balances and transfer activities. When electronic reporting
is available, EPA will change its guidance document and revise the ICR
if there is any change in burden hours. EPA uses collected information
to ensure that the U.S. maintains compliance with the Protocol caps, to
report annually to the United Nations Environment Programme the U.S.
activity in HCFCs, and to ensure that allowance holders are in
compliance. The respondents are producers, importers, and exporters of
HCFCs; and entities granted HCFC-141b exemption allowances.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is currently estimated to
average less than one hour per response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 52.
    Frequency of response: quarterly, annual, or one-time only.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
114.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 3,292 hours for respondents.
    Estimated total annual costs: $472,197 for respondents. This
includes the current OMB-approved estimated burden cost of $253,089 and
an estimated cost of $219,108 for capital investment or maintenance and
operational costs. There is no change of hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB.

What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received, historical information
with complying with the requirements of this ICR, and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive by the closing date for
comments. We may change these special conditions based on the comments
we receive.

Background

    On March 29, 2012, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation applied for a
type certificate for their new Model GVII-G500 airplane. The Model
GVII-G500 airplane will be a large-cabin business jet with seating for
19 passengers. It will incorporate a low, swept-wing design with
winglets and a T-tail. The powerplant will consist of two aft-fuselage-
mounted Pratt & Whitney turbofan engines. Avionics will include four
primary display units and multiple touchscreen controllers. The flight-
control system is a three-axis, fly-by-wire system incorporating active
control/coupled side sticks.
    The Model GVII-G500 will have a wingspan of approximately 87 feet
and a length of just over 91 feet. Maximum takeoff weight will be
approximately 76,850 pounds and maximum takeoff thrust will be
approximately 15,135 pounds. Maximum range will be

approximately 5,000 nautical miles, and maximum operating altitude will
be 51,000 feet.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions ofTitle 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.17, Gulfstream must show that the Model GVII-G500 airplane
meets the applicable provisions of part 25 as amended by Amendments 25-
1 through 25-137.
    In addition, the certification basis includes other regulations,
special conditions, and exemptions that are not relevant to these
proposed special conditions.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for Model GVII-G500 airplanes because of a
novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed
under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same novel or
unusual design feature, the special conditions would also apply to the
other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Model GVII-G500 airplane must comply with the fuel-vent
and exhaust-emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34, and the noise-
certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36; and the FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under Sec.  611 of Public Law 92-574,
the ``Noise Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Model GVII-G500 airplane will incorporate the following novel
or unusual design features:
    Gulfstream proposes to reduce the margin between VC/
MC and VD/MD, required by 14 CFR
25.335(b), based on the incorporation of a high-speed protection system
in the airplane's flight-control laws. The high-speed protection system
limits nose-down pilot authority at speeds above VC/
MC, and prevents the airplane from performing the maneuver
required under Sec.  25.335(b)(1).
    These proposed special conditions contain the additional safety
standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a
level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing
airworthiness standards.

Discussion

    Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 25.335(b)(1) is an
analytical envelope condition which was originally adopted in Part 4b
of the Civil Air Regulations to provide an acceptable speed margin
between design cruise speed and design dive speed. Flutter clearance
design speeds and airframe design loads are impacted by the design dive
speed. While the initial condition for the upset specified in the rule
is 1g level flight, protection is afforded for other inadvertent
overspeed conditions as well. Section 25.335(b)(1) is intended as a
conservative enveloping condition for potential overspeed conditions,
including non-symmetric ones. To establish that potential overspeed
conditions are enveloped, Gulfstream must demonstrate that any reduced
speed margin based on the high-speed protection system in the Model
GVII-G500 airplane will not be exceeded in inadvertent or gust-induced
upsets resulting in initiation of the dive from non-symmetric
attitudes; or that the airplane is protected by the flight-control laws
from getting into non-symmetric upset conditions. Gulfstream must
conduct a demonstration that includes a comprehensive set of conditions
as described below.
    These special conditions are proposed in lieu of Sec.
25.335(b)(1). Section 25.335(b)(2), which also addresses the design
dive speed, is applied separately (Advisory Circular (AC) 25.335-1A
provides an acceptable means of compliance to Sec.  25.335(b)(2)).
    Special conditions are necessary to address the Model GVII-G500
airplane high-speed protection system.These proposed special conditions
identify various symmetric and non-symmetric maneuvers that will ensure
that an appropriate design dive speed, VD/MD, is
established.
    Special Condition 2 of these proposed special conditions references
AC 25-7C, section 8, paragraph 32, ``Gust Upset,'' included here for
reference:
    In the following three upset tests, the values of displacement
should be appropriate to the airplane type and should depend upon
airplane stability and inertia characteristics. The lower and upper
limits should be used for airplanes with low and high maneuverability,
respectively.
    (i) With the airplane trimmed in wings-level flight, simulate a
transient gust by rapidly rolling to the maximum bank angle appropriate
for the airplane, but not less than 45 degrees nor more than 60
degrees. The rudder and longitudinal control should be held fixed
during the time that the required bank is being attained. The rolling
velocity should be arrested at this bank angle. Following this, the
controls should be abandoned for a minimum of 3 seconds after
VMO/MMO, or after 10 seconds, whichever occurs
first.
    (ii) Perform a longitudinal upset from normal cruise. Airplane trim
is determined at VMO/MMO using power and thrust
required for level flight, but with not more than maximum continuous
power and thrust. This is followed by a decrease in speed, after which
an attitude of 6 to l2 degrees nose down, as appropriate for the
airplane type, is attained with the power, thrust, and trim initially
required for VMO/MMO in level flight. The
airplane is permitted to accelerate until 3 seconds after
VMO/MMO. The force limits of Sec.  25.143(d) for
short term application apply.
    (iii) Perform a two-axis upset, consisting of combined longitudinal
and lateral upsets. Perform the longitudinal upset, as in paragraph
(ii) above, and when the pitch attitude is set, but before reaching
VMO/MMO, roll the airplane to between 15 and 25
degrees. The established attitude should be maintained until 3 seconds
after VMO/MMO.
    Special Conditions 3 and 4 of these proposed special conditions
indicate that failures of the high-speed protection system must be
improbable and must be annunciated to the pilots. If these two criteria
are not met, then the probability that the established dive speed will
be exceeded, and the resulting risk to the airplane, are too great. On
the other hand, if the high-speed protection system is known to be
inoperative, then dispatch of the airplane may be acceptable as allowed
by proposed Special Condition 5. Dispatch would only be acceptable if
appropriate reduced operating speeds, VMO/MMO, as
well as the overspeed warning for exceeding those speeds, are provided
in both the airplane flight manual and on the flightdeck display, and
are equivalent to that of the normal airplane with the high-speed
protection system operative.
    We do not believe that application of the ``Interaction of Systems
and Structures'' Special Conditions (reference GVI Issue Paper A-2), or
EASA Certification Specification 25.302, are appropriate in this case,
because design dive speed is, in and of itself, part of the design
criteria. Stability and control, flight loads, and flutter evaluations
all depend on the design dive speed. Therefore, a single design dive
speed should be established

that will not be exceeded, taking into account the performance of the
high-speed protection system as well as its failure modes, failure
indications, and accompanying flight-manual instructions.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Model GVII-G500 airplane. Should Gulfstream apply at a later date for a
change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating
the same novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would
apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on one model of airplane. It is not a rule of general applicability.

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Proposed Special Conditions

0
Accordingly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes the
following special conditions as part of the type certification basis
for Gulfstream Model GVII-G500 airplanes.
    1. In lieu of compliance with Sec.  25.335(b)(1), if the flight-
control system includes functions that act automatically to initiate
recovery before the end of the 20-second period specified in Sec.
25.335(b)(1), VD/MD must be determined from the
greater of the speeds resulting from conditions (a) and (b) of these
special cConditions. The speed increase occurring in these maneuvers
may be calculated if reliable or conservative aerodynamic data are
used.
    (a) From an initial condition of stabilized flight at
VC/MC, the airplane is upset so as to take up a
new flight path 7.5 degrees below the initial path. Control
application, up to full authority, is made to try to maintain this new
flight path. Twenty seconds after initiating the upset, manual recovery
is made at a load factor of 1.5g (0.5 acceleration increment), or such
greater load factor that is automatically applied by the system with
the pilot's pitch control neutral. Power, as specified in Sec.
25.175(b)(1)(iv), is assumed until recovery is initiated, at which time
power reduction, and the use of pilot-controlled drag devices, may be
used.
    (b) From a speed below VC/MC, with power to
maintain stabilized level flight at this speed, the airplane is upset
so as to accelerate through VC/MC at a flight
path 15 degrees below the initial path (or at the steepest nose-down
attitude that the system will permit with full control authority if
less than 15 degrees). The pilot's controls may be in the neutral
position after reaching VC/MC and before recovery
is initiated. Recovery may be initiated 3 seconds after operation of
the high-speed warning system by application of a load of 1.5g (0.5
acceleration increment), or such greater load factor that is
automatically applied by the system with the pilot's pitch control
neutral. Power may be reduced simultaneously. All other means of
decelerating the airplane, the use of which is authorized up to the
highest speed reached in the maneuver, may be used. The interval
between successive pilot actions must not be less than 1 second.
    2. The applicant must also demonstrate that the speed margin,
established as above, will not be exceeded in inadvertent or gust-
induced upsets resulting in initiation of the dive from non-symmetric
attitudes, unless the airplane is protected by the flight-control laws
from getting into non-symmetric upset conditions. The upset maneuvers
described in Advisory Circular 25-7C, ``Flight Test Guide for
Certification of Transport Category Airplanes,'' section 8, paragraph
32, sub-paragraphs c(3)(a), (b), and (c), may be used to comply with
this requirement.
    3. The probability of any failure of the high-speed protection
system, which would result in an airspeed exceeding those determined by
Special Conditions 1 and 2, must be less than 10-5 per
flight hour.
    4. Failures of the system must be annunciated to the pilots. Flight
manual instructions must be provided that reduce the maximum operating
speeds, VMO/MMO. With the system failed, the
operating speed must be reduced to a value that maintains a speed
margin between VMO/MMO and VD/
MD, and that is consistent with showing compliance with
Sec.  25.335(b) without the benefit of the high-speed protection
system.
    5. The applicant may request that the Master Minimum Equipment List
relief for the high-speed protection system be considered by the FAA
Flight Operations Evaluation Board, provided that the flight manual
instructions indicate reduced maximum operating speeds as described in
Special Condition 4. In addition, the flightdeck display of the reduced
operating speeds, as well as the overspeed warning for exceeding those
speeds, must be equivalent to that of the normal airplane with the
high-speed protection system operative. Also, the applicant must show
that no additional hazards are introduced with the high-speed
protection system inoperative.

CREOSOTE RESIDUE CHEMISTRY Background:

Creosote, an oil based wood preservative, unlike pentachlorophenol, historically has not had agriculture base uses, or any indirect food contact uses, and hence was never a subject of FDA's food basket survey. Creosote is a complex mixture of aromatic/ phenolic compounds and from simple two ring cyclic organic hydrocarbons to five / six membered fused cyclic substances. These polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs) constitute about 85% of the total mixture of creosote. These PAHs range from being moderately water soluble ( see product chemistry science chapter) to being practically insoluble ( chrysene, pyrene etc.). In a 1979 Document of the Environmental Protection Agency on the Water Related Environmental Fate of 129 Priority Pollutants ( EPA 440/ 4 79 029b, 1979, Volume II), the Agency observed: "  under most environmental conditions, the dominant aquatic transport process for the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons will be adsorption onto the suspended particulates. The role of volatilization is unknown but under certain conditions ( e. g., water agitation) it could be competitive with adsorption. The ultimate fate of naphthalene and possibly other polycyclic aromatic appear to be biodegradable by microganisms and metabolism ( biotransformation) by multi cellular organisms." No food related exposure from the creosote mixture was indicated at that time.

The Agency issued a Position Document 4 ( PD 4) in 1984 on Wood Preservative Pesticides specifically about Creosote, Pentachlorophenol and Inorganic Arsenicals. The Document stated that " The Agency was concerned that food, feed and water may become contaminated from home and farm use of pentachlorophenol or creosote products and that there could be direct contact with domestic animals or livestock." Having the same concern in mind the Agency earlier had proposed ( PD 2/ 3) to include the label amendment: " Do not use creosote or pentachlorophenol in a manner which may result in direct exposure of domestic animals or livestock or in the contamination of food, feed, or drinking or irrigation water ( e. g., food crates, irrigation flumes, vegetable stakes, feed lot bins and watering troughs." Therefore, in PD 4, the Agency established the Final Regulatory Position that all wood preservatives such as oil based creosote must include the following information their product use labels:

" Do not apply where there may be direct contact with domestic animals or livestock and where there may be contact with food, feed or drinking and irrigation water." The Agency concluded that this statement on the use labels for creosote application would eliminate the possibility of liquid formulation contact with food, feed or water during the pesticide application. ( Wood preservative Pesticide: Creosote, Pentachlorophenol and Inorganic Arsenicals, PD 4, Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances, Washington, DC 20460, July 1984).

There is no report of which shows migration of creosote or its components into ground water. Creosote is disposed off in hazardous waste landfills only after it has been treated to EPA specified standards ( after the toxic phenolic components have been eliminated).

PAHs which constitute the largest percent of the creosote mixture have been shown to partition between water, soil and animals. The K OC of some of the PAHs are high and have high binding constants with soil and bioaccumulation of some of these PAHs have been shown to take place with benthic organisms. A number of bioaccumulation studies have appeared in the recent literature and these indicate that the PAHs have a tendency to bioaccumulate in a number of aquatic organisms as well as benthic ones.( See science chapter on environmental fate of creosote). However, very few of these studies show that any significant biomagnification in aquatic food chains take place. In fact more studies have shown that the some of PAHs are rapidly metabolized by aquatic organisms and are thus eliminated from biological systems. Thus some of the PAHs components though present but not at high level in some of the human food items ( aquatic), food chain biomagnification does not seem to be of concern in the exposure scenario.

The use patterns of creosote do not apply to RACs, direct food contact or indirect food contact surfaces and hence no residue chemistry data ( Series 860 Residue Chemistry Test Guidelines) 2 was asked by the Agency nor was submitted.

The Agency has no concerns about residues on direct food contact, food contact surfaces and or biomagnification through trophic transfer at this time. If further scientific research shows a high degree of bioaccumulation and biomagnification due to exposure from creosote or some of its components, residue chemistry data may be required in the future.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP12-495-000]

Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission L.L.C.; Notice of
Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Pony
Express Pipeline Conversion Project and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Pony Express Pipeline
Conversion Project involving conversion of facilities from natural gas
to oil and construction and operation of new facilities by Kinder
Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission L.L.C. (KMIGT) in various counties
in Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska. The Commission will use this
EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is
in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on October 29, 2012.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the facilities for the new segments of
natural gas pipeline proposed in this project. The company would seek
to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the
Commission approves the project, that approval conveys with it the
right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to
produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with
state law.
    KMIGT provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I
Need To Know?''. This fact sheet addresses a number of typically-asked
questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate
in the Commission's proceedings. It is also available for viewing on
the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    KMIGT proposes to: (1) Abandon certain natural gas pipeline
facilities and the natural gas service therefrom by transfer to an
affiliate, Kinder Morgan Pony Express Pipeline LLC (KMPXP), for the
purpose of converting the facilities to oil transportation facilities;
and (2) construct and operate certain replacement type facilities
necessary to continue service to existing natural gas firm
transportation customers following the proposed conversion. KMIGT also
is seeking authorization to construct

certain new compression, pipeline segments and interconnects and has
agreed to enter into transportation arrangements with Southern Star
Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (SSC), Trailblazer Pipeline Company, LLC
(Trailblazer), Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd. (WIC) and Natural Gas
Pipeline Company of America LLC (NGPL) in order to maintain service for
the long-term customer needs of approximately 104,000 dekatherms per
day (Dth/day).

Facilities

    KMIGT requests Natural Gas Act, Section 7(b) authorization to
abandon in place approximately 432.4 miles of the existing Pony Express
Pipeline (consisting of 139.1 miles of 20-inch-diamter pipeline, 244.5
miles of 22-inch-diameter pipeline and 48.8 miles of 24-inch-inch-
diameter pipeline), with appurtenances, commencing at the discharge
side of the Guernsey Compressor Station located in Platte County,
Wyoming and terminating at the NGPL Interconnect located in Lincoln
County, Kansas.
    The facilities listed in Table 1 would be abandoned under Section
7(b) of the regulations. Note, numerous additional ancillary facilities
and interconnects would also be abandoned.

Non-Jurisdictional Facilities

    KMPXP is planning to convert/construct the following non-
jurisdictional facilities:
     Convert the 432 miles of pipeline abandoned by KMIGT to
transport oil;
     Construct the 260-mile pipeline (Cushing Lateral) from
Lincoln County, Kansas to Cushing, Oklahoma;
     Construct 4 to 11 pump stations along the existing Pony
Express Pipeline (PXP); and
     Replace certain short pipe segments (spans, exposed stream
crossings, etc.).
    In addition, the planned crude oil pipeline would include
approximately 35 new horizontal directional drill crossings at
sensitive locations along the PXP. KMPXP plans to file applications
with appropriate U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) districts by the
end of 2012 for the proposed crude oil pipeline. Under Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act, a permit would be required for activities such as
crossing an intermittent or perennial stream or wetland with a pipeline
or access road or placing temporary diversion structures in a waterway.
As required, KMPXP would prepare a Section 404 pre-construction
notification (PCN) for Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma for submittal to
the USACE. The PCNs would also include documentation of coordination
for Endangered Species Act compliance and Section 106 compliance. In
addition, potential State permits are listed below that may be required
from the State Engineer's Office, Water Quality Division, or Air
Quality Division:
     401 Water Quality Certification application;
     Stormwater Notice of Intent;
     Hydrostatic test water intake and discharge permit
applications; and
     Air Quality Construction permit applications.
    These non-jurisdictional facilities are not subject to the FERC's
environmental review procedures. We have made a decision to not review
these non-jurisdictional facilities in the EA. However, the EA will
describe their location, status, and known environmental impacts, and a
list of the responsible agencies. We are specifically seeking comment
on this decision.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 261.7
acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline.
Following construction, KMIGT would maintain about 110.4 acres for
permanent operation of the project's facilities including 64.3 acres
for the aboveground facilities; the remaining acreage would be restored
and revert to former uses. The proposed 22 miles of 4-inch-diameter
pipeline beginning in Rawlins County Kansas and terminating in
Hitchcock County, Nebraska would parallel and overlap the existing Pony
Express Pipeline for its entire length, and approximately 0.4 miles of
the pipeline would require new right-of-way. About 51 percent of the
proposed 3 miles of 4-inch-diameter pipeline within Logan County,
Colorado would parallel the existing PXP.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\2\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of
the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA, we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Land use;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Air quality and noise;
     Endangered and threatened species;
     Public safety; and
     Alternatives.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. Depending on
the comments received during the scoping process, we may also publish
and distribute the EA to the public for an allotted comment period. We
will consider all comments on the EA before making our recommendations
to the Commission. To ensure we have the opportunity to consider and
address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the
Public Participation section beginning on page 7.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues of
this project to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the
EA.\3\ Agencies that would like to request cooperating agency status
should follow the instructions for filing comments provided under the
Public Participation section of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with applicable State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO), and to
solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested
Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on
historic properties.\4\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPOs as the project
develops. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EA for this project will document our
findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status
of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified several issues that we think deserve
attention

based on a preliminary review of the proposed facilities and the
environmental information provided by KMIGT. This preliminary list of
issues may be changed based on your comments and our analysis.
     The project may impact wildlife habitat;
     The project may potentially spread noxious weeds and
aquatic invasive species;
     The project may affect federally endangered or threatened
species; and
     The project could potentially affect cultural resources;
and
     Noise impacts may occur at noise sensitive areas from
horizontal directional drilling activities and a new compressor station
addition and existing compressor station modifications.

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the project. We will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related
to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and
government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the
proposed project.
    If we publish and distribute the EA, copies will be sent to the
environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would
prefer to receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD
version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please
return the attached Information Request (appendix 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the
process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard
by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a
request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are in
the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the Commission's Web
site.
