Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-24 airplanes. This AD
results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies
the unsafe condition as movement of the aft fuel pipe within the
coupling, which can cause damage to the O-rings and lead to a fuel
leak, fuel fire or explosion, and consequent loss of control of the
airplane. This AD requires replacing and prohibits installing affected
parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 14, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 14,
2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Pilatus Model PC-24
airplanes with a certain part-numbered flexible saddle clamp installed
between frame 34 and 36. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
July 30, 2020 (85 FR 45810). The NPRM proposed to require actions to
correct the unsafe condition on the specified products and was prompted
by MCAI originated by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA),
which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European
Union. EASA issued AD No. 2019-0240, dated September 25, 2019 (referred
to after this as ``the MCAI''), which states:

    An occurrence was reported where, during maintenance, when
system pressure was applied to a motive-flow fuel pipe, the aft fuel
pipe was found to move to the end stop within the coupling. When
system pressure was released, the aft fuel pipe returned to its
point of origin. This movement can cause damage to the O-rings.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to a fuel leak and
consequently a fuel contamination of the rear fuselage, which, in
combination with an ignition source in this

area, could possibly result in a fuel fire or fuel vapour explosion
and consequent loss of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Pilatus issued the
[service bulletin] SB to provide modification instructions.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires
replacement of affected parts with serviceable parts, as defined in
this AD, and prohibits (re-) installation of affected parts.

    You may examine the MCAI on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2020-
0719.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Pilatus PC-24 Service Bulletin No. 28-002, dated
May 3, 2019. The service information contains procedures for replacing
the two flexible saddle clamps on the left-hand (LH) motive-flow fuel
pipe and the two flexible saddle clamps on the right-hand (RH) motive-
flow fuel pipe with fixed saddle clamps. This service information also
contains procedures for replacing the four O-rings on the LH and RH
motive-flow fuel pipes. This service information is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD will affect 16 products of U.S.
registry. The FAA also estimates that it will take about 7 work-hours
per product to comply with the requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $5,000
per product.
    Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the cost of the AD on
U.S. operators will be $89,520 or $5,595 per product.
    According to the manufacturer, all or some of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, the FAA has included all costs in
this cost estimate.

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

    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 this AD:
    (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.

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

[Docket ID PHMSA-2012-0004]

Pipeline Safety: Random Drug Testing Rate

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Minimum Annual Percentage Rate for Random Drug
Testing.

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

SUMMARY: PHMSA has determined that the minimum random drug testing rate
for covered employees will remain at 25 percent during calendar year
2012.

DATES: Effective January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stanley Kastanas, Program Manager,
Substance Abuse Prevention Program, PHMSA, U.S. Department of
Transportation, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER> or email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Operators of gas, hazardous liquid, and
carbon dioxide pipelines and operators of liquefied natural gas
facilities must select and test a percentage of covered employees for
random drug testing. Pursuant to 49 CFR 199.105(c)(2), (3), and (4),
the PHMSA Administrator's decision on whether to change the minimum
annual random drug testing rate is based on the reported random drug
test positive rate for the pipeline industry. The data considered by
the Administrator comes from operators' annual submissions of
Management Information System (MIS) reports required by 49 CFR
199.119(a). If the reported random drug test positive rate is less than
one percent, the Administrator may continue the minimum random drug
testing rate at 25 percent. In 2010, the random drug test positive rate
was less than one percent. Therefore, the minimum random drug testing
rate will remain at 25 percent for calendar year 2012.
    On January 19, 2010, PHMSA published an Advisory Bulletin (75 FR
2926) implementing the annual collection of contractor MIS drug and
alcohol testing data. All applicable Sec.  199.119 (drug testing) and
Sec.  199.229 (alcohol testing) MIS reporting operators are responsible
for the submission of all contractor MIS reports to PHMSA, as well as
their own, by March 15, 2012.
    Contractors with employees in safety-sensitive positions who
performed, as defined in Sec.  199.3 of 49 CFR Part 199, covered
functions, must submit these reports only through the auspices of each
operator for whom these covered employees performed those covered
functions (i.e., maintenance, operations or emergency response).

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 5103, 60102, 60104, 60108, 60117, and
60118; 49 CFR 1.53.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-86842; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2019-069]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Modify the Manner in Which It Calculates Volume, Liquidity and Quoting
Thresholds Applicable To Billing on the Exchange in Relation to a
Systems Issue Experienced by SIAC on August 12, 2019

August 30, 2019.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on August 28, 2019, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to modify the manner in which it calculates
volume, liquidity and quoting thresholds applicable to billing on the
Exchange in relation to a systems issue experienced by SIAC on August
12, 2019, which impacted trade and quote dissemination across all
markets.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to modify the manner in which it calculates
volume, liquidity and quoting thresholds applicable to billing on the
Exchange in relation to the August 12, 2019 systems issue, which
impacted trade and quote dissemination across all markets.\3\
Specifically, on August 12, 2019, SIAC \4\ determined to fail over to
back up servers after receiving indications that its primary systems
had become unstable, causing connectivity disruptions. The fail over to
secondary systems failed to cure the problem, resulting in market-wide
issues with the Consolidated Quote System and the Consolidated Tape
System, including gaps in the intra-day trades, quotes, and other
messages that were attempted to be sent to it. Consequently, the
accuracy of the transaction and quotation data for August 12, 2019 is
unknown.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See https://www.ctaplan.com/alerts#110000144324.
    \4\ SIAC is the operator of the Consolidated Quote System and
Consolidated Tape System, which disseminate real-time trade and
quote information in New York Stock Exchange LLC (Network A) and
Bats, NYSE Arca, NYSE American and other regional exchange (Network
B) listed securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result, the Exchange is unable to accurately calculate member
transaction fees and credits, including calculations for the Exchange's
incentive programs, since several of the Exchange's transaction fees
and credits are based on trading, quoting and liquidity thresholds that
members must satisfy in order to qualify for the particular rates
(e.g., percentage of Consolidated Volume, Average Daily Volume, and
time at the NBBO). The Exchange therefore proposes to exclude August
12, 2019 from all tier calculations described in Equity 7, Sections 114
\5\ and 118 \6\ in order to reasonably ensure that a member that would
otherwise qualify for a particular threshold during August 2019, and
the corresponding transaction rate and/or incentive, would not be
negatively impacted by the August 12, 2019 systems issue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Equity 7, Section 114 provides the Exchange's market quality
incentive programs.
    \6\ Equity 7, Section 118 provides the fees and credits for use
of the Exchange's order execution and routing services.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections
6(b)(4) and (5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it provides for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges
among its members, issuers and other persons using its facilities and
does not unfairly discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers or
dealers, and 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. In this regard, because the accuracy
of the transaction and quotation data disseminated by SIAC for August
12, 2019 is unknown, the Exchange believes that it is reasonable to
exclude August 12, 2019 from all tier calculations described in Equity
7, Sections 114 and 118, which would reasonably ensure that a member's
qualification for various pricing programs would be based on the data
that the Exchange believes is accurate. The Exchange also believes that
the proposed rule change is reasonable because the SIAC systems issue
that caused inaccurate transaction and quotation data was not within
Nasdaq's control nor can Nasdaq correct or otherwise remediate the
issue. Including August 12, 2019 transaction and quotation data for
purposes of tier calculations described in Equity 7, Sections 114 and
118 could result in inaccurate determinations for member rates based on
the extent to which their transactions and quotations were impacted by
the August 12, 2019 event in comparison to the overall inaccuracies in
the data provided by SIAC for that date. Consequently, the Exchange
believes that the proposed change is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because it would result in all market participants on
the Exchange being treated equally by excluding August 12, 2019 from
all tier calculations described in Equity 7, Sections 114 and 118.
Last, excluding August 12, 2019 from all tier calculations described in
Equity 7, Sections 114 and 118 is in the public interest because it
will provide Exchange members with the closest approximation of the
fees and credits

that they would have been eligible for if accurate data for August 12,
2019 were available and included in the monthly calculation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 change would
treat all market participants on the Exchange equally by excluding
August 12, 2019 from all tier calculations described in Equity 7,
Sections 114 and 118. Moreover, the Exchange believes that the proposed
change would enhance competition between competing marketplaces by
enabling the Exchange to fairly assess its members fees and to apply
credits in light of systems issues that occurred, which are beyond the
control of the Exchange.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \11\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \12\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The
Exchange begins the calculation and billing of member fees and credits
under Equity 7, Sections 114 and 118 at the close of each month, and an
operative delay would disrupt the normal billing process, which may
cause expense and potential investor confusion. Therefore, the
Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and
designates the proposal as operative upon filing.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

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

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Guidance for Industry on How to Submit a Notice of
Final Disposition of Investigational Animals Not Intended for Immediate
Slaughter in Electronic Format to the Center for Veterinary Medicine

AGENCY:  Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:  Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the reporting requirements for
the information collection activity ``How to Submit a Notice of Final
Disposition of Investigational Animals Not Intended for Immediate
Slaughter In Electronic Format to the Center for Veterinary Medicine.''

DATES:  Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of
information by April 6, 2010.

ADDRESSES:  Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denver Presley, Jr., Office of
Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr.,
PI50-400B, Rockville, MD 20850,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Guidance for Industry on How to Submit a Notice of Final Disposition of
Investigational Animals Not Intended for Immediate Slaughter in
Electronic Format to the Center for Veterinary Medicine--21 CFR
514.117(b)(2) and 21 CFR 511.1(b)(5); (OMB Control Number 0910-0453)--
Extension

    The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) monitors the final
disposition of investigational animals where such animals do not enter
the human food chain immediately at the completion of an
investigational study. CVM's monitoring of the final disposition of
investigational food animals is intended to ensure that unsafe residues
of new animal drugs do not get into the food supply. CVM issues a
slaughter authorization letter to investigational new animal drug
(INAD) sponsors that sets the terms under which investigational animals
may be slaughtered (21 CFR 511.1(b)(5)). Also in the letter, CVM
requests that sponsors submit a notice of final disposition of
investigational animals (NFDA) not intended for immediate slaughter.
NFDAs have historically been submitted to CVM on paper. CVM's guidance
entitled ``How to Submit a Notice of Final Disposition of
Investigational Animals Not Intended for Immediate Slaughter in
Electronic Format to CVM,'' provides sponsors with an option to submit
an NFDA as an e-mail attachment to CVM via the Internet.
    The likely respondents are INAD sponsors.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

                                 Table 1.--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden\1\
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21 CFR Section/       No. of         Annual Frequency       Total Annual        Hours per

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.
\2\ Electronic submissions received between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2008.

    The number of respondents in table 1 of this document are the
number of sponsors registered to make electronic submissions (40). The
number of total annual responses is based on a review of the actual
number of such submissions made between January 1, 2008, and December
31, 2008. Thus, FDA estimates the total reporting burden at 1.3 hours
(16 x .08 = 1.3 total hours).

    Dated: January 29, 2010.

39-19101; AD 2017-23-07]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The
Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found in the lower
chord of the left wing rear spar. This AD requires repetitive
inspections for cracking of the lower chord of the rear spar and lower
aft skin and applicable on-condition actions. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 26, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 26,
2017.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all The Boeing Company
Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 15, 2017 (82 FR
38641). The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracks found in the lower
chord of the left wing rear spar. The NPRM proposed to require
repetitive low frequency eddy current (LFEC) inspections for cracking
of the lower chord of the rear spar and detailed inspections for
cracking of the lower aft skin at wing buttock line (WBL) 157 and
applicable on-condition actions.
    We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the lower
chord of the rear spar and the lower aft skin at WBL 157.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. We have considered the comments received.

Support for the NPRM

    The Boeing Company supported the NPRM.

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that accomplishing the Supplemental
Type Certificate (STC) ST01219SE does not affect the actions specified
in the NPRM.
    We concur with the commenter. We have redesignated paragraph (c) of
the proposed AD as paragraph (c)(1) of this AD and added paragraph
(c)(2) to this AD to state that installation of STC ST01219SE does not
affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD.
Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is installed, a
``change in product'' alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval
request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR
39.17.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the change described previously and minor
editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1333, dated May
12, 2017. This service information describes procedures for repetitive
LFEC inspections for cracking of the lower chord of the rear spar and
detailed inspections for cracking of the lower aft skin at WBL 157,
applicable on-condition actions (e.g., repair), and instructions for
airplanes that have an existing repair in the inspection area. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 190 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the instructions for airplanes that have an existing
repair in the inspection area specified in this 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.
    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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),

    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13   [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2017-23-07 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-19101; Docket No. FAA-
2017-0773; Product Identifier 2017-NM-067-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective December 26, 2017.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -
200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, certificated in
any category.
    (2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
ST01219SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/
rgstc.nsf/0/ebd1cec7b301293e86257cb30045557a/$FILE/ST01219SE.pdf)
does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by
this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is
installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57, Wings.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the report of a crack indication in the
horizontal flange of the lower chord of the left wing rear spar at
wing buttock line (WBL) 157 and multiple reports of similar crack
findings on other airplanes. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct cracking of the lower chord of the rear spar and the lower
aft skin at WBL 157. Undetected cracks could lead to the inability
of the lower chord of the rear spar, a principal structural element,
to sustain limit load, which could adversely affect the structural
integrity of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Required Actions

    (1) For Group 2 airplanes identified in Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1333, dated May 12, 2017: Except as required by
paragraph (h) of this AD, at the applicable times specified in
paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737-57A1333, dated May 12, 2017, do all applicable actions
identified as ``RC'' (required for compliance) in, and in accordance
with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1333, dated May 12, 2017.
    (2) For Group 1 airplanes identified in Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1333, dated May 12, 2017: Within 120 days after the
effective date of this AD, inspect the airplane and do all
applicable corrective actions using a method approved in accordance
with the procedures specified in paragraph (i) of this AD.

(h) Exceptions to Service Information Specifications

    (1) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1333, dated May
12, 2017, uses the phrase ``after the original issue date of this
service bulletin,'' for purposes of determining compliance with the
requirements of this AD, the phrase ``after the effective date of
this AD'' must be used.
    (2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1333, dated May
12, 2017, specifies contacting Boeing, and specifies that action as
RC: This AD requires using a method approved in accordance with the
procedures specified in paragraph (i) of this AD.

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Los Angeles ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority
to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures
found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your
request to your principal inspector or local Flight Standards
District Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to
the manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (j) of this AD. Information may
be emailed to: [email protected].
    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Los Angeles ACO Branch, to make those findings. To be
approved, the repair method, modification deviation, or alteration
deviation must meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the
approval must specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) Except as required by paragraph (h)(2) of this AD: For
service information that contains steps that are labeled as RC, the
provisions of paragraphs (i)(4)(i) and (i)(4)(ii) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, NASDAQ 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. NASDAQ 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 proposes to offer the Clearly Erroneous Module, which is
currently available as part of a Regulation Reconnaissance
subscription, as a stand-alone service with a tiered fee structure. The
Clearly Erroneous Module provides subscribers with trade alerts of
potentially erroneous trades on NASDAQ, the ability to electronically
submit clearly erroneous reports with NASDAQ MarketWatch and to
anonymously negotiate erroneous trades with contra-parties, real-time
erroneous filing status, and access to the subscriber's historical
clearly erroneous data. Access to the Clearly Erroneous Module will be
available as an add-on to the NASDAQ Workstation and Weblink ACT 2.0 or
the Clearly Erroneous Viewer.
    The Clearly Erroneous Module and the Reg NMS Module are the core
functions of the Regulation Reconnaissance service.\3\ The Regulation
Reconnaissance service is offered to subscribers at a cost of $1,000
per MPID, per month.\4\ Certain member firms that possess many MPIDs
have informed NASDAQ that the current price structure for subscription
to the Clearly Erroneous Module through the Regulation Reconnaissance
service is cost prohibitive as it does not provide a tiered fee
schedule based on the number of MPIDs subscribed. These member firms
require multiple MPIDs due to the nature of their businesses and have a
need to monitor clearly erroneous compliance for each MPID. In
addition, certain member firms may not desire the full functionality of
Regulation Reconnaissance, yet currently must pay for a full
subscription. To make the service more cost effective for all member
firms, including those that possess a large number of MPIDs, NASDAQ is
proposing to offer the Clearly Erroneous Module as a stand-alone
service for a fee of $400 per MPID per month for any member firm that
subscribes 15 or fewer MPIDs and for a fee of $100 per MPID per month
for each MPID subscribed in excess of 15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For a description of the Regulation Reconnaissance service,
see http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/TraderP.aspx?id=RegRecon.
    \4\ See Rule 7041(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    NASDAQ believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\5\ in general, and with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, because it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system. The Clearly Erroneous Module is
designed to assist firms with monitoring their clearly erroneous
compliance and, as such, is an important tool that members may use to
help maintain the regulatory integrity of the markets. NASDAQ believes
that offering the module as a stand-alone service at a reduced fee will
encourage wider use of this regulatory tool that is otherwise cost-
prohibitive to member firms, particularly those that possess a large
number of MPIDs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ also believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \7\ in that it provides for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
members and issuers and other persons using any facility or system
which the NASDAQ operates or controls, and it does not unfairly
discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers. NASDAQ is
offering the Clearly Erroneous Module at a rate lower than the
Regulation Reconnaissance service, which includes both the Clearly
Erroneous Module and the Reg NMS Module. As such, member firms are
provided an option to pay for only the service they desire at a
discounted rate. Use of Clearly Erroneous Module is voluntary, and
member firms will continue to have access to the Clearly Erroneous
Module through a Regulation Reconnaissance subscription if they so
choose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ believes that offering the Clearly Erroneous Module at a
further discounted rate applicable to each MPID subscribed in excess of
15 is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act.\8\ As noted, use of
the Clearly Erroneous Module is voluntary and the subscription fees
will be imposed on all purchasers equally based on the number of MPIDs
subscribed. In this regard, the proposed reduced per MPID fee is
available to any member that subscribes more than 15 MPIDs, with the
reduced fee applying only to each MPID in excess of 15. The Clearly
Erroneous Module it [sic] is a useful regulatory tool that, because it
is bundled with Regulation Reconnaissance, is cost prohibitive to
member firms that possess many MPIDs due to the nature of their
businesses. As such, offering the service at a discounted rate to
members that subscribe many MPIDs will allow these members to receive
the benefit of the service that, under a non-tiered fee structure, only
firms with fewer MPIDs could justify. Further, NASDAQ receives greater
incremental benefits, both tangible and intangible, from providing
multiple subscriptions to its members notwithstanding the reduced fee.
NASDAQ notes that it currently provides other services with a tiered
fee structure based on the on the number of users or subscribers.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Id.
    \9\ For example, NASDAQ's InterACT service is offered for
subscription fee of $300 per month, per user, for the first three
users, and $100 per month, per user, for each additional user, with
a maximum fee of $1,500 per month, per member firm. See Rule 7049.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed fees will cover the costs associated with separately
offering the service, responding to customer requests, configuring
NASDAQ's systems, programming to user specifications, and administering
the service, among other things, and may provide NASDAQ with a profit
to the extent costs are covered. NASDAQ believes that the proposed fee
structure strikes a balance between covering these costs, and making
this useful regulatory tool cost effective for all member firms.

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

    NASDAQ does not believe that the proposed rule change will result
in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\10\ At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission
that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest,
for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(a)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Title: Confidentiality Rules (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1665.07, OMB Control No. 2020-0003.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2006.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: In the course of administering environmental protection
statutes, EPA collects data from thousands of facilities in many
sectors of the U.S. economy. In many cases, industry marks the data it
submits to EPA as CBI. In addition, businesses submit information to
EPA without the Agency requesting the information. EPA

established the procedures described in 40 CFR part 2, subparts A and
B, to protect the confidentiality of information as well as the rights
of the public to obtain access to information under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). In accordance with these regulations, when EPA
finds it necessary to make a final confidentiality determination (e.g.,
in response to a FOIA request or in the course of rulemaking or
litigation), or in advance confidentiality determination, it shall
notify the affected business and provides an opportunity to comment
(i.e., to submit a substantiation of confidentiality claim). This ICR
relates to the collection of information that will assist EPA in
determining whether previously submitted information is entitled to
confidential treatment.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4.9
hours 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are businesses and other for-profit companies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,330.
    Frequency of Response: 1 per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 6,521 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $240,158, includes $0 annualized
capital or O&M costs and $240,158 annual labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved
ICR Burdens.

[Docket No. CP21-94-000]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice Granting
Interventions

    On April 9, 2021, the Commission issued notice of Transcontinental
Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC's (Transco) application pursuant to section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for a certificate of public convenience and
necessity to construct and operate the Regional Energy Access Expansion
Project. The notice established April 30, 2021, as the deadline for
filing motions to intervene.
    On March 2, 2022, the Commission issued the Notice of Availability
of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the project and opened
a new intervention and comment period ending on April 25, 2022.
Pursuant to the Commission's regulations, any person may file to
intervene on environmental grounds based on the draft EIS and such
intervention will be deemed timely if filed within the draft EIS
comment period.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR 157.10(a)(2) (2021) (providing that ``any person may
file to intervene on environmental grounds based on the draft
environmental impact''); id. at Sec.  380.10(a)(1)(i) (allowing any
person to file a motion to intervene on the basis of a draft
environmental impact statement).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 25, 2022, the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters
filed timely, doc-less motions to intervene noting multiple
environmental concerns regarding the project. On April 25, 2022, the
New Jersey Conservation Foundation filed a timely motion to intervene
environmental concerns regarding the project's GHG emissions and
proximity to environmental justice communities. Transco opposes these
motions for failing to show ``good cause'' by stating that they have a
clear and direct interest in this proceeding which no other party can
adequately represent.\2\

    Pursuant to Rule 214(c)(2) of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure,\3\ if an answer in opposition to a timely motion to
intervene is filed within 15 days after the motion to intervene is
filed, the movant becomes a party only when the motion is expressly
granted. Because both New Jersey League of Conservation Voters and the
New Jersey Conservation Foundation demonstrated that they represent
interests that may be affected by the outcome of this proceeding and
identified environmental grounds for their interventions, their motions
to intervene are granted.

notice DOT/ALL 14 (Federal Docket Management System (FDMS)), which can

name of the submitter.

II. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at
the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a
driver's medical certification.
    The nine individuals listed in this notice have requested an
exemption from the hearing requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11).
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting the exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by statute.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person first perceives a forced
whispered voice in the better ear at not less than 5 feet with or
without the use of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of an audiometric
device, does not have an average hearing loss in the better ear greater
than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a
hearing aid when the audiometric device is calibrated to American
National Standard (formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5--1951.
    This standard was adopted in 1970 and was revised in 1971 to allow
drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a hearing
aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (Apr. 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3, 1971).
    On February 1, 2013, FMCSA announced in a Notice of Final
Disposition titled, ``Qualification of Drivers; Application for
Exemptions; National Association of the Deaf,'' (78 FR 7479), its
decision to grant requests from 40 individuals for exemptions from the
Agency's physical qualification standard concerning hearing for
interstate CMV drivers. Since that time the Agency has published
additional notices granting requests from hard of hearing and deaf
individuals for exemptions from the Agency's physical qualification
standard concerning hearing for interstate CMV drivers.
