II. Background

A. What action is the agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this notice announces the
availability of EPA's final registration review decisions for the
pesticides in the table below--propionic acid and salts, case 4078,
urea sulfate, case no. 7213, methidathion, case no. 0034, and methyl
parathion, case no. 0153. The active ingredient propionic acid is a
fungicide and bactericide that is used to control fungi and bacteria in
stored hay and grains, inhibit bacterial growth in drinking water for
livestock and poultry, control mold and fungi in poultry litter and
animal feed, and sanitize pre-cleaned food contact surfaces. Propionic
acid is also used as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations.
Propionic acid and its salts, sodium and calcium propionates, are
approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States
as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. Propionic acid
and salts, are exempt from the requirement of a tolerance. Urea sulfate
is used as a desiccant on cotton. No food crop uses remain and all
tolerances for urea sulfate have been deleted. Methidathion is a non-
systemic, organophosphate (OP) used as an insecticide/acaricide on a
wide variety of terrestrial food and feed crops and terrestrial non-
food crops. Methyl parathion is a restricted use OP insecticide and
acaricide registered for use on a variety of food and feed crops, with
the majority of use occurring on cotton, corn, and rice.

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a registration review decision is the
Agency's determination whether a pesticide meets, or does not meet, the
standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA has considered propionic acid
and salts, urea sulfate, methidathion, and methyl parathion in light of
the FIFRA standard for registration. The propionic acid and salts, urea
sulfate, methidathion, and methyl parathion Final Decision documents in
the docket describes the Agency's rationale for issuing a registration
review final decision for these pesticides.
    In addition to the final registration review decision documents,
the registration review docket for propionic acid and salts, urea
sulfate, methidathion and methyl parathion also

includes other relevant documents related to the registration review of
these cases. The proposed registration review decisions were posted to
the docket and the public was invited to submit any comments or new
information. During the 60-day comment period, the public comments
received were not substantive and did not affect the Agency's final
decisions. Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the registration review case
docket for propionic acid and salts, urea sulfate, methidathion, and
methyl parathion will remain open until all actions required in the
final decisions have been completed.
    Background on the registration review program is provided at:
http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review. Links to earlier
documents related to the registration review of these chemicals are
provided at: http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/propionic_acid/index.htm., http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/urea_sulfate/index.htm., http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/methidathion/index.htm., http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/methyl-parathion/index.html.

B. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 3(g) of FIFRA and 40 CFR part 155, subpart C, provide
authority for this action.

[Docket No. FAA-2016-9588; Airspace Docket No. 16-AAL-5]

Amendment of Class E Airspace, Soldotna, AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Soldotna Airport, Soldotna, AK. After
review of the airspace, the FAA found redesign necessary due to
procedure modifications. This action also removes reference to the
Soldotna non-directional radio beacon (NDB) in the legal description
and updates the geographic coordinates of the airport. This action
enhances the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport and
of aircraft within the National Airspace System.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 7, 2017. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends Class E airspace at Soldotna Airport, Soldotna, AK, to
conform the airspace size necessary for the current instrument flight
rules (IFR) operations under standard instrument approach and departure
procedures at the airport.

History

    On March 23, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR
14839) Docket FAA-2016-9588 a notice of proposed rulemaking to modify
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at
Soldotna Airport, Soldotna, AK. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received to the proposed
rule.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Soldotna Airport, Soldotna, AK. The segment extending
from the 10.1-mile radius of the airport within 4 miles either side of
the 270[deg] bearing of the Soldotna NDB is revised from 4 miles to 2.4
miles with the reference to the NDB changed to the Soldotna Airport.
    The segment extending from the 10.1-mile radius to 21 miles west of
Soldotna Airport is modified to 11 miles west of the airport.
    The segment within 4 miles south of the 090[deg] bearing of
Soldotna Airport is revised to 3.5 miles. This action is necessary
because the airspace as previously configured exceeded the minimum size
required for current arrivals and departures.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

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

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A340-200 and -300 Series
Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. 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 describes the unsafe condition as:

    An A340-300 aeroplane experienced the opening of the engine
n[deg]3 lower left thrust reverser pivoting door during climb.
    This event was the result of a primary lock malfunction and non-
engagement of the secondary lock.
* * * * *
    Deployment of one thrust reverser door in flight and during the
take-off constitutes an unsafe condition.
* * * * *

Deployment of one thrust reverser door in flight or during take-off
could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This AD
requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition
described in the MCAI.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 2, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document listed in the AD as of November 2,
2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2009-0063, dated March 11, 2009, and corrected
March 20, 2009 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    An A340-300 aeroplane experienced the opening of the engine
n[deg]3 lower left thrust reverser pivoting door during climb.
    This event was the result of a primary lock malfunction and non-
engagement of the secondary lock.
    Preliminary investigations have revealed two main findings:

--The primary lock lever arm of the affected door was contaminated
with lubrication fluid, which is a known contributor to incorrect
operation;
--The actuator of the deployed door was found with 3 shim sets
installed whereas the system is designed for a maximum of one shim
set. It is considered that installation of three shim sets has a
detrimental effect on the secondary lock capacity to engage in case
of primary lock failure.

    Deployment of one thrust reverser door in flight and during the
take-off constitutes an unsafe condition.
    In order to ensure that the fleet is clear from unauthorized
actuator shimming configurations which may lead to non-engagement of
the secondary lock, EASA AD 2008-0074 required a one-time visual
inspection to check that no more than one shim set per pivoting door
actuator was installed.

    Another A340-300 experienced a similar event after the
publication of AD 2008-0074.
    Airbus and CFM are currently investigating the root cause.
    As a consequence, Airbus has defined a one-time inspection
programme [for defects] to decrease the thrust reverser sensitivity
to primary lock release.
    This AD requires the accomplishment of a one-time [detailed]
inspection programme which consists in [the following actions]:

--Primary lock inspection [for improper locking],
--Pivoting door seal inspection [for defective seal],
--Pivoting door actuator gimbal gap inspection [for gaps exceeding
limits],
--Pivoting door hydraulic actuators inspection to check that one
shim set is installed (consequently [EASA] AD 2008-0074, which
required to check the installation of one shim set only per pivoting
door actuator, is superseded by this [EASA] AD [2009-0063]),
--Pivoting door adjustment [to ensure proper operation of pivoting
door], and their associated corrective actions.

    Further mandatory action is foreseen (introduction of Additional
Return Line restrictor on external engines).

* * * * *
Deployment of one thrust reverser door in flight or during take-off
could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. Corrective
actions include replacing with new or serviceable parts the thrust
reverser pivoting door primary lock, the thrust reverser pivoting door,
and the thrust reverser pivoting door actuator; removing excess shims
from the thrust reverser pivoting door actuator or adding a shim; and
adjusting the thrust reverser pivoting door. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued All Operators Telex A340-78A4040, dated February
18, 2009. The actions described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.
    There are no products of this type currently registered in the
United States. However, this rule is necessary to ensure that the
described unsafe condition is addressed if any of these products are
placed on the U.S. Register in the future.

Differences Between the AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a Note within the AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Since there are currently no domestic operators of this product,
notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are
unnecessary.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2009-0907; Directorate
Identifier 2009-NM-072-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.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective November
2, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A340-211, -212, and -213
series airplanes; and Model A340-311, -312, and -313 series
airplanes; certificated in any category; all manufacturer serial
numbers.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 78: Engine
exhaust.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continued airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    An A340-300 aeroplane experienced the opening of the engine
n[deg]3 lower left thrust reverser pivoting door during climb.
    This event was the result of a primary lock malfunction and non-
engagement of the secondary lock.
    Preliminary investigations have revealed two main findings:

--The primary lock lever arm of the affected door was contaminated
with lubrication fluid, which is a known contributor to incorrect
operation;
--The actuator of the deployed door was found with 3 shim sets
installed whereas the system is designed for a maximum of one shim
set. It is considered that installation of three shim sets has a
detrimental effect on the secondary lock capacity to engage in case
of primary lock failure. Deployment of one thrust reverser door in
flight and during the take-off constitutes an unsafe condition.

    In order to ensure that the fleet is clear from unauthorized
actuator shimming configurations which may lead to non-engagement of
the secondary lock, EASA AD 2008-0074 required a one-time visual
inspection to check that no more than one shim set per pivoting door
actuator was installed.
    Another A340-300 experienced a similar event after the
publication of AD 2008-0074.
    Airbus and CFM are currently investigating the root cause.
    As a consequence, Airbus has defined a one-time inspection
programme [for defects] to decrease the thrust reverser sensitivity
to primary lock release.
    This AD requires the accomplishment of a one-time [detailed]
inspection programme which consists in [the following actions]:

--Primary lock inspection [for improper locking],
--Pivoting door seal inspection [for defective seal],
--Pivoting door actuator gimbal gap inspection [for gaps exceeding
limits],
--Pivoting door hydraulic actuators inspection to check that one
shim set is installed (consequently [EASA] AD 2008-0074, which
required to check the installation of one shim set only per pivoting
door actuator, is superseded by this [EASA] AD [2009-0063]),
--Pivoting door adjustment [to ensure proper operation of pivoting
door], and their associated corrective actions.

    Further mandatory action is foreseen (introduction of Additional
Return Line restrictor on external engines).
* * * * *
Deployment of one thrust reverser door in flight or during take-off
could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. Corrective
actions include replacing with new or serviceable parts the thrust
reverser pivoting door primary lock, the thrust reverser pivoting
door, and the thrust reverser pivoting door actuator; removing
excess shims from the thrust reverser pivoting door actuator or
adding a shim; and adjusting the thrust reverser pivoting door.

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 1,800 flight hours after the effective date of this
AD, do the detailed inspections for the discrepancies identified in
paragraphs (f)(1)(i), (f)(1)(ii), (f)(1)(iii), (f)(1)(iv), and
(f)(1)(v) of this AD, in accordance with the applicable paragraph of
Airbus All Operators Telex A340-78A4040, dated February 18, 2009
