[Docket ID FEMA-2016-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final notice.

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

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: The effective date for each LOMR is indicated in the table
below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication.
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Mitigation has resolved any
appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and also are used to
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at www.msc.fema.gov.

number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

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

Healthcare Professional Survey of Prescription Drug Promotion--(OMB
Control Number 0910--New)

I. Regulatory Background

    Section 1701(a)(4) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
300u(a)(4)) authorizes the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to
conduct research relating to health information. Section 903(d)(2)(c)
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C.
393(d)(2)(c)) authorizes FDA to conduct research relating to drugs and
other FDA regulated products in carrying out the provisions of the FD&C
Act.

II. Description

    The rise of direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug advertising and
prescription drug promotion has affected healthcare professionals in a
number of ways. First, healthcare professionals regularly encounter
patients who have been exposed to DTC ads. Second, healthcare
professionals also see and hear such ads directly as mass media
consumers themselves. Since clarification of the adequate provision
requirement for prescription drug broadcast ads in 1997, FDA has faced
numerous questions about the influence of DTC pharmaceutical marketing
because such advertising directly engages consumers and potentially
affects interactions between patients and their physicians (Refs. 1 and
2). Those questions have grown more urgent with the growth of DTC
advertising in recent years (Refs. 3 and 4). In 2002, FDA considered
this form of promotion sufficiently important as a force in the
physician-patient interaction that they surveyed both patients and
physicians regarding their perceptions of DTC advertising (Ref. 5).
Now, nearly a decade later, there are critical reasons to return to the
field to gather more evidence on the influence of DTC advertising in
the examination room and on the relationships between healthcare
professionals and patients.
    One of the most noteworthy aspects of the current healthcare
environment in 2011 is the role now played by various physician
extenders. Naylor and Kurtzman (Ref. 6) recently noted that nurses are
the single largest group of healthcare providers in the United States
and they argue that nurse practitioners will play an increasingly vital
role in primary care delivery. Similarly, physician assistants also
bolster the ability of our healthcare system to offer some types of
care at lower cost. The aforementioned 2002 FDA study did not include
nurse practitioners or physician assistants in the sample; that study
focused on general practitioners and specialists in several key areas
targeted by DTC advertising. Murray and colleagues (Ref. 7) also
conducted a large-scale survey of U.S. physicians regarding their
perceptions of DTC advertising, but they also did not include nurse
practitioners or physician assistants in their sample. Because DTC
advertising likely affects daily interactions between patients and
nurse practitioners and physician assistants--similar to the 2002 FDA
study that suggested the influence of advertising on physicians' work
lives--including these groups in the new sample will further
understanding of DTC advertising in the healthcare system.
    Another limitation of the 2002 FDA study was the extent to which
the results were nationally representative. As FDA has acknowledged,
the initial set of results as reported were applicable to survey
respondents but were not weighted to reflect national statistics as to
the age, sex, and racial composition of the healthcare professional
population. Similar to many types of surveys that have struggled in
recent decades with declines in cooperation rates (Ref. 8), surveys of
healthcare professionals in general often can benefit from weighting to
reduce nonresponse bias. The current survey will include weighted
responses from respondents that will reflect national demographic
patterns.
    Over the past decade, researchers have been able to better assess
how DTC advertising has unfolded in the United States and determine the
questions that warrant further survey work. For example, researchers
have worried for a number of years that DTC advertising might produce
adverse outcomes, such as clinically inappropriate patient requests for
drugs or patient overestimation of the efficacy of advertised
medications (Refs. 5, 7, 9, and 10). At the same time, the 2002 FDA

survey found that roughly as many physicians thought DTC advertising
had a positive effect on their practice as those who thought there had
been a negative influence. Moreover, the 2002 FDA survey found that
roughly a third of physicians surveyed thought that DTC advertising had
essentially no influence on their practice. The question of whether a
similar pattern will emerge now, despite the growth of DTC advertising,
is a vital one. Furthermore, FDA will benefit from knowing more detail
about the various types of perceived effects DTC advertising might
have. For example, some healthcare professionals might be ambivalent
rather than strongly in favor of or opposed to DTC advertising. In
addition, with the proliferation of social media platforms, the
emergence of online pharmaceutical marketing, and the evolution of
office detailing practices (Refs. 11 and 12), FDA will benefit by
knowing more about healthcare professionals' awareness of new and
emerging drug promotion sites and practices. The proposed survey will
address these issues.

III. Method Overview

    We propose a nationally representative sample of healthcare
professionals that will yield 2,000 responses from 500 general
practitioners, 500 specialists, 500 nurse practitioners, and 500
physician assistants. Such a design will help to ensure our ability to
discuss not only healthcare professional perceptions generally but also
to assess potential variation between different types of healthcare
professionals. This sample will be recruited from a national Internet
healthcare professional panel that includes over 70,000 individuals
originating from the American Medical Association master file and other
medical organizations. Because there are not enough individuals in this
panel to satisfy the needs of the proposed project, nurse practitioners
and physician assistants will be specially recruited from relevant
professional organizations.
    Healthcare providers are a difficult group to recruit, and so
several strategies will be put into place to achieve a high response
rate. These include sending prenotification letters before online
invitation, lengthening the data collection period to 8 weeks (from the
more typical 4 weeks), tailoring contact materials, disclosing FDA
sponsorship on survey materials, and conducting reminder telephone
calls. Appropriate weighting will be applied to adjust for any survey
nonresponse as well as any noncoverage or undersampling and
oversampling resulting from the sample design.
    Participants who agree to participate will answer questions online.
The survey is expected to take no longer than 20 minutes. This will be
a one-time (versus annual) data collection.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows: The total respondent sample for this data collection is 2,025.
We will sample 25 respondents for basic programming pretesting and
2,000 respondents for the full study. We estimate the response burden
to be 20 minutes, for a burden of 1,008 hours.

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Turboprop
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) PW120, PW121, PW121A, PW124B,
PW127, PW127E, PW127F, PW127G, and PW127M turboprop engines. This AD
requires removal of the O-ring seal from the fuel manifold fitting.
This AD was prompted by reports of fuel leaks at the interface between
the fuel manifold and the fuel nozzle that resulted in engine fire. We
are issuing this AD to prevent in-flight fuel leakage, which could lead
to engine fire, damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective August 15, 2014.

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 the specified products. The
NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 21, 2014 (79 FR
15707). The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    There have been reported incidences of fuel leaks at the
interface between the flexible fuel manifold and the fuel nozzle. On
occasion, these events resulted in an engine fire on PW100 series
engine installations. The data indicates that nearly all of the
subject manifold fuel leaks were caused by inadequate B-nut torque
application during installation, after maintenance work was
performed on the fuel nozzle/manifold.
    Sealing of the fitting connections between the fuel manifolds
and the fuel nozzle adapters is achieved through conical metal-to-
metal surface seating. An additional O-ring seal on the fitting was
installed to arrest any fuel leak past the conical sealing surfaces.
In-service experience has indicated that leakage past the sealing
surfaces, as a result of improper torquing during installation of
the manifold, may not be immediately evident until the failure of
the O-ring seal allows the fuel to leak into the nacelle area.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received.

Request To Mandate Incorporation of Service Bulletins

    UTair Aviation JSC requested that we mandate incorporation of P&WC
Service Bulletins (SBs) PW100-72-21841, Revision No. 1, dated November
29, 2013; and PW100-72-21848, Revision No. 1, dated November 15, 2013,
in the AD. The commenter suggested that incorporation by reference of
these SBs would improve safety compared to the compliance proposed in
the NPRM (79 FR 15707, March 21, 2014).
    We disagree. We note that prior to implementation of these SBs, an
operator would need to remove the affected O-ring seals, which would
fulfill the requirements of this AD. We do not find that requiring
accomplishing these service bulletins through incorporation by
reference in this AD is necessary. We did not change this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects about 150 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about
2.5 hours per engine to perform the inspection or replacement required
by this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be
$31,875.

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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, 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.

    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
Golden Apple Oil and Gas, Inc. (``Golden Apple''), a Nevada corporation
headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Questions have arisen regarding the
accuracy of assertions by Golden Apple, and by others, in press
releases and internet postings to investors concerning, among other
things: (1) The company's assets, (2) the company's business
operations, (3) the company's current financial condition, and (4)
financing arrangements involving the issuance of Golden Apple shares.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the above-listed
company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, April 7, 2006,
through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on April 21, 2006.

    By the Commission.
