SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63046; File No. SR-FINRA-2010-050]

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change Relating to Online Filing of Arbitration Claims

October 5, 2010.
    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 September 27, 2010, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. (``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared substantially by
FINRA. FINRA has designated the proposed rule change as constituting a
``non-controversial'' rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4
under the Act,\3\ which renders the proposal effective upon receipt of
this filing by the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice
to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.

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

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

    FINRA is proposing to amend Rules 12302 and 13302 of the Customer
and Industry Codes of Arbitration Procedure, respectively (``Codes'')
to update the rules relating to online filing of arbitration claims.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
    To initiate an arbitration claim at FINRA, a claimant files a
signed and dated Submission Agreement, a Statement of Claim that
specifies the relevant facts and remedies requested, and any additional
documents supporting the Statement of Claim (``initial documents'').
The claimant may file in hard copy, submitting enough copies of each of
the initial documents for the Director, each arbitrator, and each other
party. As an alternative, FINRA Rules 12302 and 13302 provide that a
claimant may use the Online Arbitration Claim Filing system
(``System'') to complete part of the claim filing process through the
Internet. The rules state that the claimant completes a Claim
Information Form online, and submits a Statement of Claim (along with
supporting documents) electronically through the System. Once the Claim
Information Form is complete, the System generates a FINRA Dispute
Resolution Tracking Form (``Tracking Form'') for the claimant to
reproduce. The claimant then files, in hard copy, the Tracking Form and
any materials not submitted electronically. When a claimant files
electronically, FINRA makes copies of the documents submitted through
the System for the arbitrators and the other parties in the case.
    Recently, FINRA implemented programming enhancements that allow
claimants to file all of the initial documents electronically if they
file through the System. FINRA is proposing to make technical, non-
substantive amendments to Rules 12302 and 13302 to update the rule
language to reflect that claimants may file all of the initial
documents electronically.
    If the SEC approves the proposed rule change, FINRA would continue
to permit claimants to file their claims in hard copy. The proposed
rule change specifies that if a claimant does not elect to file
electronically, the claimant would be required to file enough copies of
the initial documents for the Director, each arbitrator and each other
party.

The System's User Guide explains, in detail, the methods for filing a
claim.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\4\ which requires, among
other things, that the rules of a national securities association be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. FINRA believes that the
proposed rule change will assist in the efficient administration of
arbitrations by updating the relevant rule language to reflect that
claimants may file all of the initial documents electronically through
the System. FINRA believes these technical, non-substantive amendments
will enhance the Codes by making them easier to understand and apply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA 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.

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

    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 \5\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\6\

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

cancel their registrations of certain products containing the pesticide
calcium thiosulfate. The request would terminate the last calcium
thiofulfate product registered for use in the U.S. EPA intends to grant
this request at the close of the comment period for this announcement
unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment
period that would merit its further review of the request, or unless
the registrant withdraws their request within this period. Upon
acceptance of this request, any sale, distribution, or use of products
listed in this notice will be permitted only if such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the
final order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.

    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background on the Receipt of Requests to Cancel and/or Amend
Registrations to Delete Uses

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from United
Industries Corp. to cancel 8860-67 Liquid Lime-Sulphur 32 Degrees Baume
product registration. In a letter dated January 24, 2007, United
Industries Corp. requested EPA to cancel affected product registrations
identified in this notice (Table 1). Specifically, United Industries
Corp. requests voluntary cancellation of the product Liquid Lime-
Sulphur 32 Degrees Baume due to lack of use. This product has never
been manufactured or marketed by United Industries Corp. Action on the
registrant's request will terminate the last calcium thiosulfate
products registered in the United States.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from a registrant
to cancel calcium thiosulfate product registrations. The affected
products and the registrants making the requests are identified in
Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.
    Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any
time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA
requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, section
6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period
on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor
agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The calcium thiosulfate registrant has requested that EPA waive the
180-day comment period. EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the
proposed request.
    Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within 30 days of
publication of this notice, or if the Agency determines that there are
substantive comments that warrant further review of this request, an
order will be issued canceling the affected registration.

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

IV. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request and Considerations for
Reregistration of Calcium Thiosulfate

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before 30 days after date of
publication in the Federal Register. This written withdrawal of the
request for cancellation will apply only to the applicable FIFRA
section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If the products(s) have
been subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date of
cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation
action are controlling.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. This Notice proposes the following existing stocks
provision: The prohibition on sales, distribution, and use of existing
stocks by the registrant will be effective on the date of the
cancellation order.
    Persons other than the registrant will be able to continue to sell
and/or use existing stocks of cancelled products until such stocks are
exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled
product. The order will specifically prohibit any use of existing
stocks that is not consistent with such previously approved labeling.
If, as the Agency currently intends, the final cancellation order
contains the existing stocks provision just described, the order will
be sent only to the affected registrants of the cancelled products. If
the Agency determines that the final cancellation order should contain
existing stocks provisions different than the ones just described, the
Agency will publish the cancellation order in the Federal Register.

Airworthiness Directives; Avidyne Corporation Integrated Flight
Displays

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Avidyne
Corporation (Avidyne) Integrated Flight Displays (IFDs) part number (P/
N) 700-00083-() loaded with software release <IP_ADDRESS> or earlier release
(referred to as Model R9--10 inch), P/N 700-00171-() loaded with
software release <IP_ADDRESS> or earlier release (referred to as Model R9--
12 inch), and P/N 700-00182-() loaded with software release <IP_ADDRESS> or
earlier release (referred to as Model IFD540). This emergency AD was
sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of all aircraft
that incorporate the above referenced Avidyne IFDs. This AD requires
incorporating an operational limitation into the Limitations section of
the airplane flight manual (AFM) or airplane flight manual supplement
(AFMS). This AD was prompted by reports of Avidyne IFDs displaying
incorrect course deviation indication information during GPS approaches
(incorrect display of lateral deviations). We are issuing this AD to
correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective July 1, 2015 to all persons except those
persons to whom it was made immediately effective by Emergency AD 2015-
10-51, issued on May 18, 2015, which contained the requirements of this
amendment.
    We must receive comments on this AD by July 31, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On May 18, 2015, we issued Emergency AD 2015-10-51, which requires
incorporating an operational limitation into the Limitations section of

the airplane flight manual (AFM) or airplane flight manual supplement
(AFMS). This emergency AD was sent previously to all known U.S. owners
and operators of all aircraft that incorporate Avidyne Corporation
(Avidyne) Integrated Flight Displays (IFDs) part number (P/N) 700-
00083-() loaded with software release <IP_ADDRESS> or earlier release
(referred to as Model R9--10 inch), P/N 700-00171-() loaded with
software release <IP_ADDRESS> or earlier release (referred to as Model R9--
12 inch), and P/N 700-00182-() loaded with software release <IP_ADDRESS> or
earlier release (referred to as Model IFD540).
    This action was prompted by reports of Avidyne IFDs displaying
incorrect course deviation indication information during GPS approaches
(incorrect display of lateral deviations). This condition occurs when
the airplane is flying in certain approaches, the leg to the Final
Approach Fix (FAF) is active, and the leg to the FAF is not aligned
with the final approach course (i.e., an angled entry to the FAF). The
software of the Avidyne IFDs as referenced above will produce lateral
deviations to the final approach course as soon as the leg to the FAF
becomes active. Therefore, when the leg does not align with the final
approach course, the course deviation indicator (CDI) will show a
deviation when, in fact, the aircraft is on the proper course for the
active leg. This could result in the pilot making flight decisions that
put the aircraft in unsafe flight conditions, flying into airspace that
was, by the GPS approach design, to be avoided (terrain, obstacle,
traffic, restricted).

FAA's Determination

    We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires incorporating an operational limitation into the
Limitations section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) or airplane
flight manual supplement (AFMS). The operational limitation will
contain the following:
     Flying a full procedure (non Vector-to-Final) GPS
approach, with a course change at the Final Approach Fix (FAF), is
prohibited.''
     ``Flying a GPS approach, with a Direct-To or with an Omni-
Bearing Selector (OBS) leg to the FAF, is prohibited.''

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because of
the Avidyne IFDs displaying incorrect course deviation indication
information during GPS approaches (incorrect display of lateral
deviations), which could result in the pilot making flight decisions
that put the aircraft in unsafe flight conditions, flying into airspace
that was, by the GPS approach design, to be avoided (terrain, obstacle,
traffic, restricted). Therefore, we find that notice and opportunity
for prior public comment are impracticable and that good cause exists
for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include Docket Number FAA-2015-2191 and
Directorate Identifier 2015-CE-015-AD at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this
AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 324 products installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with 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.

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):

2015-10-51 Avidyne Corporation: Amendment 39-18183; Docket No. FAA-
2015-2191; Directorate Identifier 2015-CE-015-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective July 1, 2015 to all persons except those
persons to whom it was made immediately effective by Emergency AD
2015-10-51, issued on May 18, 2015, which contained the requirements
of this amendment.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    Avidyne Corporation (Avidyne) Integrated Flight Displays (IFDs)
part number (P/N) 700-00083-() loaded with software release <IP_ADDRESS>
or earlier release (referred to as Model R9--10 inch), P/N 700-
00171-() loaded with software release <IP_ADDRESS> or earlier release
(referred to as Model R9--12 inch), and P/N 700-00182-() loaded with
software release <IP_ADDRESS> or earlier release (referred to as Model
IFD540). These IFDs are installed on, but not limited to, airplanes
that are certificated in any category and are identified in the
following:
    (1) For Model R9--10 inch: AML STC SA00282BO. This document can
be found at: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/
rgstc.nsf/0/24d8d8ba6cb57e4f86257d1d0055dec4/$FILE/
SA00282BO_AML.pdf.
    (2) For Model R9--12 inch: Korea Aerospace Industries KC-100
(currently being type validated by the FAA).
    (3) For Model IFD540: STC SAA00343BO. This document can be found
at: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/
5084676a444f3b2b86257d20005d08ab/$FILE/SA00343BO_AML.pdf.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association
(ATA) of America Code: 34, Navigation.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of Avidyne IFDs displaying
incorrect course deviation indication information during GPS
approaches (incorrect display of lateral deviations). This condition
occurs when the airplane is flying in certain approaches, the leg to
the Final Approach Fix (FAF) is active, and the leg to the FAF is
not aligned with the final approach course (i.e., an angled entry to
the FAF). The software of the Avidyne IFDs as referenced above in
the Applicability section, paragraph (c) of this AD, will produce
lateral deviations to the final approach course as soon as the leg
to the FAF becomes active. Therefore, when the leg does not align
with the final approach course, the course deviation indicator (CDI)
will show a deviation when, in fact, the aircraft is on the proper
course for the active leg. We are issuing this AD to prevent such
incorrect display of lateral deviations, which could result in the
pilot making flight decisions that put the aircraft in unsafe flight
conditions, flying into airspace that was, by the GPS approach
design, to be avoided (terrain, obstacle, traffic, restricted).

(f) Compliance

    Unless already done, comply with paragraphs (g)(1) through
(g)(4) of this AD, including all subparagraphs.

(g) Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) or Airplane Flight Manual Supplement
(AFMS) Limitation

    (1) Before further flight after July 1, 2015 to all persons
except those persons to whom it was made immediately effective by
Emergency AD 2015-10-51, issued on May 18, 2015, which contained the
requirements of this amendment, incorporate the operational
limitations listed in paragraphs (g)(1)(i) and (g)(1)(ii) of this AD
into the Limitations section of the AFM or AFMS, as applicable. This
can be done by inserting a copy of this AD into the Limitations
section of the AFM or AFMS.
    (i) ``Flying a full procedure (non Vector-to-Final) GPS
approach, with a course change at the Final Approach Fix (FAF), is
prohibited.''
    (ii) ``Flying a GPS approach, with a Direct-To or with an Omni-
Bearing Selector (OBS) leg to the FAF, is prohibited.''
    (2) This action may be done by an owner/operator (pilot) holding
at least a private pilot certificate and must be entered into the
airplane records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with
14 CFR 43.9(a)(1)(4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be
maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.173 or 135.439.
    (3) Paragraphs (g)(3)(i) and (g)(3)(ii) of this AD provides
examples of prohibited and allowed GPS approach per paragraph
(g)(1)(i) of this AD:
    (i) An example of a prohibited GPS approach per paragraph
(g)(1)(i) of this AD can be found at: http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1505/05597r25.pdf.
    (ii) An example of an allowed GPS approach per paragraph
(g)(1)(i) of this AD can be found at: http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1505/00626rz29.pdf.
    (4) This AD is no longer applicable if software is installed
that is different than that referenced in paragraph (c)
Applicability of this AD.

(h) Special Flight Permit

    Under 14 CFR 39.23, special flight permits are prohibited for
this AD.

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Boston Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
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 ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (j) of this AD.
    (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.

Airworthiness Directives; CFM International S.A. Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all CFM International, S.A. (CFM) CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B model
turbofan engines with a certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) inner
stationary seal installed. This proposed AD was prompted by cracks
found in the rotating air HPT front seal. This proposed AD would
require removal, inspection, and replacement of the affected HPT inner
stationary seal, and depending on the findings, removal and replacement
of the rotating air HPT front seal. The FAA is proposing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

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

Discussion

    The FAA received a report that two cracks were discovered on a CFM
CFM56-5B model turbofan engine rotating air HPT front seal during a
routine engine shop visit. After investigation, CFM determined that the
HPT inner stationary seal, part number 1808M56G01, may not have
received the correct braze heat treat cycle at the time of the
honeycomb replacement. As a result, the affected HPT inner stationary
seal could lead to a localized separation of the replaced honeycomb,
which may affect the life of the rotating air HPT front seal. This
condition, if not addressed, could result in an uncontained release of
the rotating air HPT front seal, damage to the engine, and damage to
the airplane.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed CFM Service Bulletin (SB) CFM56-5B S/B 72-0952,
dated April 23, 2019, and CFM SB CFM56-7B S/B 72-1054, dated April 23,
2019. CFM SB CFM56-5B S/B 72-0952, dated April 23, 2019, describes
procedures for repairing the CFM56-5B turbofan engine HPT inner
stationary seal honeycomb. CFM SB CFM56-7B S/B 72-1054, dated April 23,
2019, describes procedures for repairing the CFM56-7B turbofan engine
HPT inner stationary seal honeycomb. 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.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is proposing this AD because it evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require removal, inspection, and replacement
of the affected HPT inner stationary seal and, depending on the
findings, removal and replacement of the rotating air HPT front seal
with a part eligible for installation.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 210 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. Operators have the option to
replace or repair the affected HPT inner stationary seal. The part cost
is for replacement with a repaired HPT inner stationary seal.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

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

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
engines that might need these replacements:

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.
    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 engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

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) 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-139, OMB Control No. 3235-0128]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 12f-1

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 12f-1 (17 CFR 240.12f-
1), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a
et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of
information to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for
extension and approval.
    Rule 12f-1 (``Rule''), originally adopted in 1979 pursuant to
Sections 12(f) and 23(a) of the Act, and as further modified in 1995
and 2005, sets forth the requirements for filing an exchange
application to reinstate unlisted trading privileges (``UTP'') in a
security in which UTP has been suspended by the Commission pursuant to
Section 12(f)(2)(A) of the Act. Under Rule 12f-1, an exchange must
submit one copy of an application for reinstatement of UTP to the
Commission that contains specified information, as set forth in the
Rule. The application for reinstatement, pursuant to the Rule, must
provide the name of the issuer, the title of the security, the name of
each national securities exchange, if any, on which the security is
listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, whether transaction
information concerning the security is reported pursuant to an
effective transaction reporting plan contemplated by Rule 601 of
Regulation NMS, the date of the Commission's suspension of unlisted
trading privileges in the security on the exchange, and any other
pertinent

information related to whether the reinstatement of UTP in the subject
security is consistent with the maintenance of fair and orderly markets
and the protection of investors. Rule 12f-1 further requires a national
securities exchange seeking to reinstate its ability to extend unlisted
trading privileges in a security to indicate that it has provided a
copy of such application to the issuer of the security, as well as to
any other national securities exchange on which the security is listed
or admitted to unlisted trading privileges.
    The information required by Rule 12f-1 enables the Commission to
make the necessary findings under the Act prior to granting
applications to reinstate unlisted trading privileges. This information
is also made available to members of the public who may wish to comment
upon the applications. Without the Rule, the Commission would be unable
to fulfill these statutory responsibilities.
    There are currently 24 national securities exchanges subject to
Rule 12f-1. The burden of complying with Rule 12f-1 arises when a
potential respondent seeks to reinstate its ability to extend unlisted
trading privileges to any security for which unlisted trading
privileges have been suspended by the Commission, pursuant to Section
12(f)(2)(A) of the Act. The staff estimates that each application would
require approximately one hour to complete. Thus, each potential
respondent would incur on average one burden hour in complying with the
Rule.
    The Commission staff estimates that there could be as many as 24
responses annually for an aggregate annual hour burden for all
respondents of approximately 24 hours (24 responses x 1 hour per
response). Each respondent's related internal cost of compliance for
Rule 12f-1 would be approximately $242.00 (the cost of one hour of
professional work of a paralegal needed to complete the application).
The total annual cost of compliance for all potential respondents,
therefore, is approximately $5,808 (24 responses x $242.00 per
response).
    Compliance with Rule 12f-1 is mandatory. Rule 12f-1 does not have a
record retention requirement per se. However, responses made pursuant
to Rule 12f-1 are subject to the recordkeeping requirements of Rules
17a-3 and 17a-4 of the Act. Information received in response to Rule
12f-1 shall not be kept confidential; the information collected is
public information.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted by
January 2, 2024.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to:
[email protected].

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP23-535-000]

WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Scoping Period
Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed South
Spearfish Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental document, that will discuss
the environmental impacts of the South Spearfish Project involving
construction, operation, and abandonment of facilities by WBI Energy
Transmission, Inc. (WBI Energy) in Lawrence County, South Dakota. The
Commission will use this environmental document in its decision-making
process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience
and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies regarding the project. As part of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) review process, the Commission takes into account
concerns the public may have about proposals and the environmental
impacts that could result from its action whenever it considers the
issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity and
authorization for abandonment of facilities. This gathering of public
input is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of the scoping
process is to focus the analysis in the environmental document on the
important environmental issues. Additional information about the
Commission's NEPA process is described below in the NEPA Process and
Environmental Document section of this notice.
    By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the
scope of issues to address in the environmental document. To ensure
that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your
comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 13, 2023. Comments may be
submitted in written form. Further details on how to submit comments
are provided in the Public Participation section of this notice.
    Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental
impacts. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what
issues they need to evaluate in the environmental document. Commission
staff will consider all written comments during the preparation of the
environmental document.
    If you submitted comments on this project to the Commission before
the opening of this docket on August 28, 2023, you will need to file
those comments in Docket No. CP23-535-000 to ensure they are considered
as part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You
are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent
domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach
an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be
determined by a judge in accordance with state law. The Commission does
not subsequently grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise of that
eminent domain authority. The courts have exclusive authority to handle
eminent domain cases; the Commission has no jurisdiction over these
matters.
    WBI Energy provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the
FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do
I Need To Know?'' which addresses typically asked questions, including
the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's
proceedings. This fact sheet along with other landowner topics of
interest are available for viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov)
under the Natural Gas, Landowner Topics link.

Public Participation

    There are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the
Commission. Please carefully follow these instructions so that your
comments are properly recorded. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208-
3676 or [email protected].
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature, which is on the Commission's website (www.ferc.gov) under the

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
    Additionally, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which makes it easy to stay informed of all issuances and
submittals regarding the dockets/projects to which you subscribe. These
instant email notifications are the fastest way to receive notification
and provide a link to the document files which can reduce the amount of
time you spend researching proceedings. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to register for eSubscription.
    The Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) supports
meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
environmental justice communities, Tribal members and others, access
publicly available information and navigate Commission processes. For
public inquiries and assistance with making filings such as
interventions, comments, or requests for rehearing, the public is
encouraged to contact OPP at<PHONE_NUMBER> or [email protected].

Summary of the Proposed Project

    The proposed project would allow for incremental firm
transportation capacity from WBI Energy's existing Line Section 15 in
western South Dakota to the community of Spearfish, South Dakota for
Montana-Dakota Utilities, Company. Specifically, WBI Energy proposes
the following in Lawrence County, South Dakota:
     modify the Deadwood-Central City Lateral Takeoff Valve
Setting adjacent to the Deadwood Mainline Transfer Station on WBI
Energy's Line Section 15;
     increase the maximum allowable operating pressure of the
8-inch-diameter Deadwood-Central City Lateral from the Deadwood
Mainline Transfer Station to the proposed South Spearfish Station;
     install two pig launcher/receivers,\1\ one at each end of
the uprated Deadwood-Central City Lateral;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into
and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline,
conducting internal inspections, or other purposes. A pig launcher/
receiver are facilities where pigs are inserted/retrieved from the
pipeline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     construct the new South Spearfish Station adjacent to the
existing South Spearfish Lateral Takeoff Valve Setting. The new station
would contain the relocated South Spearfish Town Border Station and the
new Deadwood Lateral Transfer Station;
     relocate approximately 500 feet of the South Spearfish
Lateral adjacent to the South Spearfish Town Border Station and the
existing South Spearfish Lateral Takeoff Valve Setting; and
     abandon by sale the existing 5.5-mile-long 4-inch-diameter
South Spearfish Lateral and certain town border station equipment, at
the existing South Spearfish Town Border Station to Montana-Dakota upon
the commissioning of the new South Spearfish Town Border Station.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary''. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice. At
this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's
Public Reference Room. For assistance, contact FERC at
[email protected] or call toll free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY
(202) 502-8659.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the Project will affect approximately 8.1 acres of
land, including temporary workspace needed for construction of pipeline
and aboveground facilities, staging area, and access roads. Following
construction, approximately 4.7 acres would revert to pre-construction
conditions and uses. The remaining approximately 3.4 acres, including
the permanent pipeline easement and aboveground facility sites, would
be retained for permanent operation of the Project.

NEPA Process and the Environmental Document

    Any environmental document issued by the Commission will discuss
impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation
of the proposed project under the relevant general resource areas:
     geology and soils;
     water resources and wetlands;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     threatened and endangered species;
     cultural resources;
     land use;
     environmental justice;
     air quality and noise; and
     reliability and safety.
    Commission staff will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the
proposed project or portions of the project and make recommendations on
how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Your
comments will help Commission staff identify and focus on the issues
that might have an effect on the human environment and potentially
eliminate others from further study and discussion in the environmental
document.
    Following this scoping period, Commission staff will determine
whether to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the EIS will present Commission
staff's independent analysis of the issues. If Commission staff
prepares an EA, a Notice of Schedule for the Preparation of an
Environmental Assessment will be issued. The EA may be issued for an
allotted public comment period. The Commission would consider timely
comments on the EA before making its decision regarding the proposed
project. If Commission staff prepares an EIS, a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an EIS/Notice of Schedule will be issued, which will open up an
additional comment period. Staff will then prepare a draft EIS which
will be issued for public comment. Commission staff will consider all
timely comments received during the comment period on the draft

EIS and revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS.
Any EA or draft and final EIS will be available in electronic format in
the public record through eLibrary \3\ and the Commission's natural gas
environmental documents web page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). If eSubscribed, you
will receive instant email notification when the environmental document
is issued.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the
last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With this notice, the Commission is asking agencies with
jurisdiction by law and/or special expertise with respect to the
environmental issues of this project to formally cooperate in the
preparation of the environmental document.\4\ Agencies that would like
to request cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for
filing comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, section 1501.8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultation Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, the Commission is using this notice to initiate
consultation with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office,
and to solicit their views and those of other government agencies,
interested Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential
effects on historic properties.\5\ The environmental document for this
project will document findings on the impacts on historic properties
and summarize the status of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes: federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials; public
interest groups; Native American Tribes; other interested parties; and
local libraries. This list also includes all affected landowners (as
defined in the Commission's regulations) who are potential right-of-way
grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for project purposes,
or who own homes within certain distances of aboveground facilities,
and anyone who submits comments on the project and includes a mailing
address with their comments. Commission staff will update the
environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that
Commission notices related to this environmental review are sent to all
individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/
or potentially affected by the proposed project.
