Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31011; Amdt. No. 3638]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These
regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised
criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace
System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities,
adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These
changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective April 13, 2015. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of April 13, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE., West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South

telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20.
The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form documents is
unnecessary.
    This amendment provides the affected CFR sections, and specifies
the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their applicable effective
dates. This amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the
procedure and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97
of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on the
criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument
Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific
conditions existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in
this rule have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an
emergency action of immediate flight safety relating directly to
published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(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);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet at
Gove County Airport, Quinter, KS, in support of IFR operations at the
airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 23495; April 28, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0298 to
establish Class E airspace at Gove County Airport, Quinter, KS, in
support of IFR operations at the airport. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface of the earth at Gove County Airport, Quinter, KS. The
Class E airspace will be established to within 5.5 miles of the Gove
County Airport. This area would provide airspace for new Area
Navigation Procedures at Gove County Airport, Quinter, KS.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-83033; File No. SR-Phlx-2018-14)

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Order Approving a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment Nos. 1, 2, and 3, To
Adopt Protections for Butterfly Spreads and Box Spreads

April 11, 2018.

I. Introduction

    On February 9, 2018, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or the ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to
amend Phlx Rule 1098, ``Complex Orders on the System,'' to adopt
protections for Complex Orders that are box spreads or butterfly
spreads.\3\ On February 21, 2018, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to
the proposed rule change, which superseded the original filing in its
entirety. The proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, was
published for comment in the Federal Register on March 1, 2018.\4\ On
April 9, 2018, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to the proposal. On
April 10, 2018, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 3 to the proposal,
which superseded Amendment No. 2 in its entirety.\5\ The Commission
received no comments regarding the proposed rule change. This order
approves the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment Nos. 1, 2,
and 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ For purposes of the electronic trading of Complex Orders, a
``Complex Order'' is an order involving the simultaneous purchase
and/or sale of two or more different options series in the same
underlying security, priced as a net debit or credit based on the
relative prices of the individual components, for the same account,
for the purpose of executing a particular investment strategy. See
Phlx Rule 1098(a)(i).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 82766 (February 23,
2018), 83 FR 8914 (March 1, 2018) (``Notice'').
    \5\ In Amendment No. 3, the Phlx revised the proposal to (1)
replace references in proposed Phlx Rule 1098(i)(i) to ``Complex
Order'' with ``Butterfly Spread,'' and to ``Complex Market Order''
with ``Butterfly Spread entered as a Market Order;'' (2) revise
proposed Phlx Rule 1098(i)(i)(a) to indicate that the Initial
Maximum Value is the distance between the strike price of the leg
with the mid-point and either of the outer leg strike prices; (3)
replace references in proposed Phlx Rule 1098(j)(i) to ``Complex
Order'' with ``Box Spread'' and to ``Complex Market Order'' with
``Box Spread entered as a Market Order;'' (4) amend proposed Phlx
Rules 1098(i)(i) and (j)(i) to refer to ``an order being
auctioned,'' rather than an ``auction;'' and (5) delete the
reference to ``spread'' in proposed Phlx Rule 1098(j)(i)(b). Because
Amendment No. 3 makes only clarifying and technical changes, and
does not present unique or novel regulatory issues, it is not
subject to notice and comment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment
Nos. 1, 2, and 3

    As described more fully in the Notice, the Exchange proposes to
amend Phlx Rule 1098 to adopt protections that will prevent the
execution of a butterfly spread \6\ or a box spread \7\ at a price
outside of specified minimum and maximum values (the ``Butterfly Spread
Protection'' and the ``Box Spread Protection,'' respectively).\8\ Under
the Butterfly Spread Protection, a butterfly spread that is priced
higher than the Maximum Value \9\ or lower than the Minimum Value \10\
will be cancelled. A butterfly spread entered as a market order will be
accepted but will be restricted from trading at a price that is higher
than the Maximum Value or lower than the Minimum Value. \11\ Similarly,
under the Box Spread Protection, a box spread that is priced higher
than the Maximum Value \12\ or lower than the Minimum Value \13\ will
be cancelled. A box spread entered as a market order will be accepted
but will be restricted from trading at a price that is higher than the
Maximum Value or lower than the Minimum Value.\14\ The Butterfly Spread
Protection and the Box Spread Protection apply to orders being
auctioned and to auction responses, and they apply throughout the
trading day, including during the pre-market, the opening process, and
trading halts.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ A butterfly spread is a three legged Complex Order with the
following: (1) Two legs to buy (sell) the same number of calls
(puts); (2) one leg to sell (buy) twice the number of calls (puts)
with a strike price at mid-point of the two legs to buy (sell); (3)
all legs have the same expiration; and (4) each leg strike price is
equidistant from the next sequential strike price. See proposed Phlx
Rule 1098(i).
    \7\ A box spread is a four legged Complex Order with the
following: (1) One pair of legs with the same strike price with one
leg to buy a call (put) and one leg to sell a put (call); (2) a
second pair of legs with a different strike price from the pair
described in (1) with one leg to sell a call (put) and one leg to
buy a put (call); (3) all legs have the same expiration; and (4) all
legs have equal volume. See proposed Phlx Rule 1098(j).
    \8\ See Notice, 83 FR at 8915.
    \9\ For a butterfly spread, the Maximum Value is calculated by
adding the Initial Maximum Value (the distance between strike price
of the leg with the mid-point strike and either of the outer leg
strike prices) and the Maximum Value Buffer. The Maximum Value
Buffer is the lesser of a configurable absolute dollar value or
percentage of the Initial Maximum Value set by the Exchange and
announced via a notice to members. See proposed Phlx Rule
1098(i)(i)(a).
    \10\ For a butterfly spread, the Minimum Value is calculated by
subtracting the Minimum Value Buffer (a configurable absolute dollar
value set by the Exchange and announced via a notice to members)
from the Initial Minimum Value of zero. See proposed Phlx Rule
1098(i)(i)(b). The Phlx notes that the Minimum Value could be less
than zero. See Notice, 83 FR at 8915. The Phlx states that a market
participant seeking to trade out of a position at intrinsic value
might not find a contra-side willing to trade without a premium. The
Phlx notes that an incremental allowance outside of the minimum/
maximum value would allow for a small premium to offset commissions
associated with trading and could incentivize participants to take
the other side of a spread trading at intrinsic value. The Phlx
further notes that a participant might find it financially
beneficial to pay a small premium to close out its position rather
than carry the position to expiration and take delivery. See id.
    \11\ See proposed Phlx Rule 1098(i)(i).
    \12\ For a box spread, the Maximum Value is calculated by adding
the Initial Maximum Value (the distance between the strike prices of
each pair of leg strike prices) and the Maximum Value Buffer. The
Maximum Value Buffer is the lesser of a configurable absolute dollar
value or percentage of the Initial Maximum value set by the Exchange
and announced via a notice to members. See proposed Phlx Rule
1098(j)(i)(a).
    \13\ For a box spread, the Minimum Value is calculated by
subtracting the Minimum Value Buffer (a configurable absolute dollar
value set by the Exchange and announced via a notice to members)
from the Initial Minimum Value of zero. See proposed Phlx Rule
1098(j)(i)(b).
    \14\ See proposed Phlx Rule 1098(j)(i).
    \15\ See proposed Phlx Rules 1098(i)(i) and (ii), and 1098(j)(i)
and (ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Phlx states that the proposal is responsive to member input and
will provide members with additional functionality that will assist
them in managing risk.\16\ In addition, the Phlx states that the buffer
allowance from the minimum and maximum values permitted for the
execution of butterfly and box spreads will provide market participants
with flexibility to manage their business.\17\ The Phlx notes that it
currently offers similar order protection features for Complex Orders
to avoid erroneous trades, including the Strategy Price Protection and
the Acceptable Complex Execution (``ACE'') Parameter.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Notice, 83 FR at 8916.
    \17\ See id. at 8917.
    \18\ See id. at 8915. See also Phlx Rules 1098(g) (Strategy
Price Protection) and 1098(h)(i) (ACE Parameter).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\19\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\20\ which
requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities
exchange be

designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the Butterfly Spread Protection and
the Box Spread Protection will help market participants mitigate risk
by preventing the execution of butterfly and box spreads at prices that
are outside of specified minimum and maximum values. The Commission
notes that the Phlx has indicated that the protections are responsive
to input from Phlx members.\21\ In addition, the Commission notes that
another options exchange has adopted similar price protections.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See Notice, 83 FR at 8916.
    \22\ See CBOE Rule 6.53C, Interpretation and Policy .08(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\23\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Phlx-2018-14), as modified
by Amendment Nos. 1, 2, and 3, is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\24\

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0422; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-177-AD;
Amendment 39-17146; AD 2012-15-16]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by
reports that various pushrods had been manufactured with tubes having
the incorrect heat treatment. This AD requires replacing the affected
pushrod assembly. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of rudder
control, reduced directional control of the airplane on the ground, or
a jammed nose landing gear (NLG) door that could prevent the NLG from
retracting or extending.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 12, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 12,
2012.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 1, 2012 (77 FR
25642). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    It was discovered that various pushrods installed on the DHC-8
Series 100/200/300/400 aeroplanes had been manufactured with tubes
having the incorrect heat treatment, using 6061-T4 instead of 6061-
T6. The incorrect heat treatment appreciably degrades the strength
of these affected pushrods. Failure of these affected pushrods could
result in a loss of rudder control, reduced directional control of
the aeroplane on the ground or a jammed nose landing gear (NLG) door
that could prevent the NLG from retracting or extending.
    This [Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA)] directive mandates
the replacement of the affected pushrod assembly.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (77 FR 25642, May 1, 2012)
or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed--except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 25642, May 1, 2012) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 25642, May 1, 2012).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 171 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 28 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $6,504
per product. Where the service information lists required parts costs
that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $1,519,164, or $8,884 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.

    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

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

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (77 FR 25642, May 1, 2012),
the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations office
(telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will
be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.
