14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2022-0290; Project Identifier AD-2021-01266-T]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10
airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report from Boeing that
Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) discovered a design issue in
the engine fuel feed system, which could result in fuel flow
restrictions to both engines when ice that has accumulated in the
airplane fuel feed system suddenly releases into the engines. This
proposed AD would require revising the existing airplane flight manual
(AFM) to update the limitations on minimum fuel temperatures. The FAA
is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 31,
2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket
Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
     Hand Delivery: Deliver to Mail address above between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

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 ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-0290; Project Identifier
AD-2021-01266-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to
Takahisa Kobayashi, Aerospace Engineer, Propulsion Section, FAA,
Seattle ACO Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198; phone
and fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email: [email protected]. Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA has received a report from Boeing that affects certain
Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes, with RRD Model Trent 1000
engines installed. RRD discovered and reported to Boeing that a design
issue in the engine fuel feed system could result in fuel flow
restrictions to both engines when ice that has accumulated in the
airplane fuel feed system suddenly releases into the engines. The
sudden release of accumulated ice into the engine fuel feed system, in
combination with low fuel temperatures, could cause freezing
temperatures at the inlet of certain engine fuel feed system
components. This condition, if not addressed, could result in fuel flow
restrictions to both engines, causing a potential loss of dual engine
thrust control and reduced controllability of the airplane.

Explanation of Applicability

    The applicability of this proposed AD includes additional
designations for RRD Model Trent 1000 engines not explicitly identified
on the model list of the FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) Number
E00076EN, but are identified on the EASA TCDS EASA.E.036. The
parenthetical text included in paragraph (c) of this proposed AD is an
additional identifier for RRD Model Trent 1000 engines that specifies
certain build standards have been incorporated on the engine. The
designation of ``/01'' identifies RRD Model Trent 1000 engines on which
Service Bulletin 72-G319 has been incorporated, and ``/01A'' identifies
RRD Model Trent 1000 engines on which Service Bulletin 72-G893 has been
incorporated.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require revising the existing AFM to update
the limitations on minimum fuel temperatures.

Compliance With AFM Revisions

    Section 91.9 prohibits any person from operating a civil aircraft
without complying with the operating limitations specified in the AFM.
FAA regulations also require operators to furnish pilots with any
changes to the AFM (14 CFR 121.137) and pilots in command to be
familiar with the AFM (14 CFR 91.505).

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this proposed AD interim action. Boeing is
currently working with RRD to develop updated electronic engine control
(EEC) software, which will change the engine oil temperature amber line
indicated in the engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS).
This change will ensure that, before takeoff, the engine oil
temperature would be warm enough to operate the engine with cold fuel.
The updated EEC software combined with the action required by this
proposed AD will address the unsafe condition identified in this AD.
Once this software is developed, approved, and available, the FAA might
consider additional rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 14 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                      = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend listing rules applicable to
companies whose business plan is to complete one or more business
combinations (the ``Original Proposal''). The Exchange is filing this
proposal (``Amendment No. 1'') to amend the Original Proposal.
Amendment No. 1 supersedes the

Original Proposal in its entirety to add an additional disclosure
requirement.

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 aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Nasdaq is filing this amendment to SR-NASDAQ-2020-062, which was
published for comment by the Commission on September 16, 2020.\8\ The
original proposal would allow certain acquisition companies listed
under IM-5101-2 with a 15-day period after closing a business
combination to provide evidence that the combined company satisfied the
round lot shareholder requirement for initial listing at the time of
the business combination. This Amendment No. 1 would require a company
relying on this 15-day period to file a Form 8-K, were required by SEC
rules, or issue a press release noting that the company is relying upon
the additional 15 calendar days available under Nasdaq rules to
demonstrate compliance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 99897 (September 22,
2020), 85 FR 59574 (September 16, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In 2009, Nasdaq adopted additional listing requirements for a
company whose business plan is to complete an initial public offering
and engage in a merger or acquisition with one or more unidentified
companies within a specific period of time (``Acquisition
Companies'').\9\ Such a company is required to keep at least 90% of the
proceeds from its initial public offering in an escrow account and,
until the company has completed one or more business combinations
having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of
the escrow account, must meet the requirements for initial listing
following each business combination.\10\ If a shareholder vote on the
business combination is held, public shareholders voting against a
business combination must have the right to convert their shares of
common stock into a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then in the
escrow account (net of taxes payable and amounts distributed to
management for working capital purposes) if the business combination is
approved and consummated.\11\ If the combined company does not meet the
initial listing requirements following a business combination, Nasdaq
Staff will issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Nasdaq Rule
5810.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58228 (July 25, 2008),
73 FR 44794 (July 31, 2008) (adopting the predecessor to IM-5101-2).
    \10\ See Nasdaq Rule IM-5101-2(d) and (e).
    \11\ See Nasdaq Rule IM-5101-2(d). If a shareholder vote on the
business combination is not held, the company must provide all
shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares for cash
equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then in the
deposit account (net of taxes payable and amounts distributed to
management for working capital purposes). Nasdaq Rule IM-5101-2(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the existing rules, ``following each business combination''
with an Acquisition Company, the resulting company must satisfy all
initial listing requirements. The rule does not provide a timetable for
the company to demonstrate that it satisfies those requirements,
however. Accordingly, Nasdaq proposes to modify the rule to specify if
the Acquisition Company demonstrates that it will satisfy all
requirements except the applicable round lot shareholder requirement,
then the company will receive 15 calendar days following the closing to
demonstrate that it satisfied the applicable round lot shareholder
requirement immediately following the transaction's closing.
    Ordinarily, in determining compliance with the round lot
shareholder requirement at the time of a business combination, Nasdaq
will review a company's public disclosures and information provided by
the company about the transaction. For example, the merger agreement
may result in the Acquisition Company issuing a round lot of shares to
more than 300 holders of the target of the business combination at
closing. If public information is not available that enables Nasdaq to
determine compliance, Nasdaq will typically request that the company
provide additional information such as registered shareholder lists
from the company's transfer agent, data from Cede & Co. about shares
held in street name, or data from broker-dealers and from third parties
that distribute information such as proxy materials for the broker-
dealers.\12\ If the company can provide information demonstrating
compliance before the business combination closes, no further
information would be required.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Companies must seek this information from third parties
because many accounts are held in street name and shareholders may
object to being identified to the company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    However, Nasdaq has observed that in some cases it can be difficult
for a company to obtain evidence demonstrating the number of
shareholders that it has or will have following a business combination.
As noted above, shareholders of an Acquisition Company may redeem or
tender their shares until just before the time of the business
combination, and the company may not know how many shareholders will
choose to redeem until very close to the consummation of the business
combination. In cases where the number of round lot shareholders is
close to the applicable requirement, this could affect the ability for
Nasdaq to determine compliance before the business combination closes.
Accordingly, for a company that has demonstrated that it will satisfy
all initial listing requirements except for the round lot shareholder
requirement before consummating the business combination, Nasdaq will
allow the company 15 calendar days after the closing of the business
combination, if necessary, to demonstrate that it also complied with
the round lot requirement at the time of the business combination. To
be clear, the company must still demonstrate that it satisfied the
round lot shareholder requirement immediately following the business
combination; the proposal is merely giving the company 15 calendars
days to provide evidence that it did.
    Providing Acquisition Companies with an additional 15 days to
demonstrate compliance with the round lot rule as of the date of the
business combination will result in the continuation of the listing of
companies that have completed a business combination but not yet
demonstrated that they satisfied all initial listing requirements. For
this reason, the Exchange proposes that each Acquisition Company that
has not demonstrated compliance with the applicable round lot
shareholder requirement on the date of the business combination's
closing will be required to issue a press release or file a Form 8-K,
if required, prior to closing of the business combination, stating that
the company is relying upon the additional 15 calendar days available
under Nasdaq rules to demonstrate

compliance. The company also will be required to note that in the event
it is unable to demonstrate compliance, the company will be subject to
delisting. In the event the Acquisition Company does not make the
required public disclosure prior to the closing of the business
combination, Nasdaq will halt trading in the company's securities until
such time as the required announcement is made public.
    Nasdaq believes that this proposal balances the burden placed on
the Acquisition Company to obtain accurate shareholder information for
the new entity and the need to ensure that a company that does not
satisfy the initial listing requirements following a business
combination enters the delisting process promptly. If the company does
not evidence compliance within the proposed time period, Nasdaq staff
would issue a delisting determination, which the company could appeal
to an independent Hearings Panel as described in the 5800 Series of the
Nasdaq Rules. Nasdaq also believes that the disclosure requirement will
help provide transparency to investors about the status of the company
during this time.
    Finally, Nasdaq proposes a non-substantive change to eliminate a
duplicate paragraph in paragraphs (d) and (e) of IM-5101-2 and to add a
new paragraph designation.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\13\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\14\ in particular, in that it is designed 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, by imposing a specific timeline for Acquisition Companies to
demonstrate that they will comply with the initial listing requirements
following a business combination and allowing a reasonable period of
time for the company to provide evidence that it complied with the
round lot shareholder requirement at the time of the business
combination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule would specify the time when an Acquisition
Company must demonstrate compliance with the initial listing standards
following the completion of a business combination, thereby enhancing
investor protection. Specifically, it would require an Acquisition
Company to provide evidence before completing the business combination
that it will satisfy all requirements for initial listing, except for
the round lot shareholder requirement. While the proposed rule would
allow Acquisition Companies 15 calendar days, if needed, to provide
evidence that they also complied with the round lot shareholder
requirement at the time of the business combination, that additional
time is a reasonable accommodation given both the difficulty companies
face in identifying their shareholders and the ability for the
Acquisition Company's shareholders to redeem their shares when the
business combination is consummated. In that regard, Acquisition
Companies are unlike other newly listing companies, which do not face
redemptions and are not already listed and trading at the time they
must demonstrate compliance. Importantly, the company must still
demonstrate that it satisfied the round lot shareholder requirement
immediately following the business combination. The proposed rule also
requires an Acquisition Company utilizing the additional 15 day period
after closing of the business combination to file a Form 8-K, were
required by SEC rules, or issue a press release, prior to the closing
of the business combination, noting that the company is relying upon
the additional 15 calendar days available under Nasdaq rules to
demonstrate compliance. The company must also note that in the event it
is unable to demonstrate compliance, the company will be subject to
delisting. In the event the Acquisition Company does not make the
required disclosure prior to the listing of the combined company,
Nasdaq will halt trading in the company's securities until such time as
the required announcement is made public. The Exchange believes this
disclosure requirement will ensure that prospective investors are aware
that the company has not yet demonstrated that it meets the shareholder
requirement and therefore may be delisted. In light of these
requirements, Nasdaq believes that the proposed rule change
appropriately balances the protection of prospective investors with the
protection of shareholders of the Acquisition Company, the latter of
whom would be harmed if Nasdaq issued a delisting determination at a
time when the company did, in fact, satisfy all initial listing
requirements but could not yet provide proof.
    The proposed rule change is also consistent with Section 6(b)(7) of
the Act in that it provides a fair procedure for the prohibition or
limitation by the Exchange of any person with respect to access to
services offered. The proposed rule change accounts for the particular
difficulties encountered by Acquisition Companies when attempting to
determine their total number of shareholders due to the ability of
shareholders to redeem their shares. Acquisition Companies will still
be required to demonstrate compliance with all initial listing
standards immediately following the business combination, which is the
initial listing of the combined company. This is no different from the
requirements imposed on other newly listing companies.
    The non-substantive changes to eliminate a duplicate paragraph in
paragraphs (d) and (e) of IM-5101-2 and to add a new paragraph
designation will improve the rule's readability and thereby remove an
impediment to a free and open market and a national market system and
help to better protect investors, which Nasdaq believes is consistent
with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.\15\

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule would clarify
that a company listing in connection with a merger with an Acquisition
Company must provide evidence before completing the business
combination that it will satisfy all requirements for initial listing,
although a reasonable accommodation would be made to allow the company
to demonstrate compliance with the round lot shareholder requirement
before issuing a delisting letter if that is the only requirement that
the company cannot demonstrate compliance with before completing the
business combination. This change is not expected to have any impact on
competition.

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

    On December 21, 2020, the Commission issued an Order Instituting
Proceedings \16\ (``OIP'') pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act
to determine whether to approve or disapprove the Original Proposal

superseded by this Amendment No. 1. In response to the OIP, the Council
of Institutional Investors (``CII'') submitted a comment letter dated
January 7, 2021.\17\ Simultaneous to the submission of this Amendment
No. 1, the Exchange is submitting a comment letter in response to the
Commission's OIP. That comment letter addresses the issues raised in
the CII comment letter.
