Removal of the Special Rule for Model Aircraft; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final rule published on December 11,
2020. In that final rule, which became effective on the date of
publication, the FAA removed the regulations codifying the Special Rule
for Model Aircraft as a result of a change in applicable law. The FAA
inadvertently listed an incorrect amendment number for the final rule.
This document corrects that error.

DATES: This correction is effective July 26, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 11, 2020, the FAA published the
Removal of the Special Rule for Model Aircraft final rule (85 FR
79823). After the rule was published, the FAA discovered it had listed
Amdt. No. 1-73 for the changes to title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
part 1, instead of Amdt. No. 1-74.

Electronic Access and Filing

    A copy of the final rule may be viewed online at http://www.regulations.gov using the docket number listed above. A copy of
this final rule will also be placed in the docket. Electronic retrieval
help and guidelines are available on the website. It is available 24
hours each day, 365 days each year. An electronic copy of this document
may also be downloaded from the Office of the Federal Register's
website at http://www.ofr.gov and the Government Publishing Office's
website at http://www.gpo.gov.

Good Cause for Adoption Without Prior Notice

    Under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553), the
Agency generally offers interested parties the opportunity to comment
on proposed regulations and publish rules not less than 30 days before
their effective dates. However, the APA provides that an agency is not
required to conduct notice-and-comment rulemaking or delay effective
dates when the agency, for good cause, finds that the requirement is
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest (5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and (d)(3)). There is good cause to waive both of
these requirements here as they are unnecessary, as this action merely
makes a technical correction to the amendment number of a published
final rule.

Correction

    In FR Doc. 2020-26726 (85 FR 79823) published on December 11, 2020,
the following correction is made:
    1. On page 79823, in the second column, in the heading of the final
rule, correct ``Amdt. Nos. 1-73, 61-148, 101-10, 107-6'' to read
``Amdt. Nos. 1-74, 61-148, 101-10, 107-6''.

    Issued under authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 106(f) and 44809,

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD No. 2019-0199, dated August 16,
2019, to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters Deutschland
GmbH (AHD), formerly Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH, Eurocopter
Espa[ntilde]a S.A., Model EC135 P1, EC135 P2, EC135 P2+, EC135 P3,
EC135 T1, EC135 T2, EC135 T2+, EC135 T3, EC635 P2+, EC635 P3, EC635 T1,
EC635 T2+, and EC635 T3 helicopters. EASA advises of a report of a
broken Ti-bolt. Subsequent investigation revealed that an improper heat
treatment process was accomplished on a batch of Ti-bolts, which can
lead to hydrogen embrittlement. The investigation also identified the
critical location where these Ti-bolts are installed on helicopters.
According to EASA, this condition, if not detected and corrected, could
lead to failure of an affected Ti-bolt installed in a critical
location, possibly resulting in reduced control of the helicopter.
Accordingly, the EASA AD requires a one-time inspection of Ti-bolt part
number (P/N) L535M2001203 marked with manufacturer monogram ``D'' or
with an illegible manufacturer monogram installed on the forward tail
rotor (T/R) drive shaft and, depending on the inspection results,
replacing the Ti-bolt. The EASA AD also prohibits the (re)installation
of these Ti-bolts.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that an
unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of
these same type designs.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
No. EC135-00A-001, Revision 1, dated September 2, 2019, for Airbus
Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model EC135 T1, T2, T2+, T3, P1, P2, P2+,
P3, 635 T1, 635 T2+, 635 T3, 635 P2+, and 635 P3 helicopters, and
Airbus Helicopters ASB No. EC135H-00A-001, Revision 1, dated September
2, 2019, for Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model EC135, T3H, P3H,
635 T3H, and 635 P3H helicopters. This service information specifies
inspecting the forward T/R drive shaft, distance plate of the 5B-0.50-
2.50P-XN-1 antenna, main rotor controls, FWD connection of ball bearing
control, and AFT connection of ball bearing control and yaw actuator
for the installation of Ti-bolt P/N L535M2001203, EN3308-040020F,
L221M1040201, EN3740-060020F, and EN3308-060020F, marked with
manufacturer monogram ``D'' or an illegible manufacturer monogram. If a
specified Ti-bolt is installed, the service information specifies
replacing the Ti-bolt and discarding the removed Ti-bolt.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require removing any Ti-bolt P/N
L535M2001203 marked with manufacturer monogram ``D'' or with an
illegible manufacturer monogram installed on the forward T/R drive
shaft from service. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing an
affected Ti-bolt on the forward T/R drive shaft of any helicopter.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD applies to Model EC135 P1, EC135 P2, EC135 P2+, EC135
P3, EC135 T1, EC135 T2, EC135 T2+, EC135 T3, EC635 P2+, EC635 P3, EC635
T1, EC635 T2+, and EC635 T3 helicopters and requires inspecting Ti-bolt
P/N L535M2001203 marked with manufacturer monogram ``D'' or with an
illegible manufacturer monogram installed on the forward T/R drive
shaft. This proposed AD applies to Model EC135P1, EC135P2, EC135P2+,
EC135P3, EC135T1, EC135T2, EC135T2+, and EC135T3 helicopters with a Ti-
bolt P/N L535M2001203 marked with manufacturer monogram ``D'' or with
an illegible manufacturer monogram installed on the forward T/R drive
shaft instead. This proposed AD does not apply to Model EC635 P2+,
EC635 P3, EC635 T1, EC635 T2+, or EC635 T3 helicopters because these
models are not FAA type-certificated. The EASA AD requires discarding
the affected Ti-bolts, whereas this proposed AD would require removing
the affected Ti-bolts from service instead.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 326 helicopters of
U.S. registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this proposed AD.
    Replacing a Ti-bolt would take about four work-hours and parts
would cost about $82 for an estimated cost of $422 per Ti-bolt.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Learjet Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Learjet Inc. Model 45 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of
two cases of premature corrosion found on the structural support flange
for the engine thrust reverser. This AD requires inspecting for any
corrosion, and damage to the sealant; installing sealants and gaskets;
and related investigative and corrective actions as necessary. We are
issuing this AD to prevent failure of the thrust reverser structural
support, which could result in departure of the thrust reverser from
the engine that could subsequently result in damage to the adjacent
support structure and engine controls, airframe structure, and control
surfaces. Departing thrust reversers could also result in injury to
persons on the ground.

DATES: This AD is effective August 19, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 19,
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 certain Learjet Inc. Model
45 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on February
10, 2014 (79 FR 7601). The NPRM was prompted by a report of two cases
of premature corrosion found on the structural support flange for the
engine thrust reverser that attaches the thrust reverser to the engine.
The thrust reverser's attach flange is made of aluminum and the
corrosion of that flange can be caused by contact with exposed graphite
fibers from the engine's composite bypass duct. The NPRM proposed to
require doing a fluorescent penetrant inspection of the metallic
components of the thrust reverser's attach flange for any corrosion;
inspecting the thrust reverser flange for damage to the sealant, as
applicable; installing sealants and gaskets, as applicable, to the
thrust reverser flanges and service island flanges; and related
investigative and corrective actions as necessary. We are issuing this
AD to prevent failure of the thrust reverser structural support, which
could result in departure of the thrust reverser from the engine that
could subsequently result in damage to the adjacent support structure
and engine controls, airframe structure, and control surfaces.
Departing thrust reversers could also result in injury to persons on
the ground.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Add Service Information to Paragraph (i) of This AD

    Bombardier requested that paragraph (i) of the proposed AD (79 FR
1601, February 10, 2014) be revised to add Bombardier Service Bulletin
40-78-03, Revision 1, dated November 5, 2012; or Bombardier Service
Bulletin 45-78-9, Revision 1, dated November 5, 2012. Bombardier stated
that adding this service information to paragraph (i) of the proposed
AD would allow credit for accomplishing the requirements of paragraph
(g) of the proposed AD before the effective date of the AD.
    We disagree with revising paragraph (i) of this AD. The purpose of
paragraph (i) of this AD is to allow credit for using an earlier
revision of the required service information before the effective date
of the AD if that earlier revision is considered acceptable for
addressing the unsafe condition. If actions required by paragraph (g)
of this AD were accomplished before the effective date of the AD, using
the service information required by paragraph (g) of this AD, those
actions are considered acceptable for compliance, since paragraph (f)
of this AD states ``Comply with this AD within the compliance times
specified, unless already done.'' We have not changed this AD in this
regard.

Clarification of Marketing Designation

    We have revised Note 1 to paragraph (c) of this AD to clarify the
marketing designations that Model 45 airplanes might be known as.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (79 FR 1601, February 10, 2014) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 1601, February 10, 2014).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 365 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs

covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    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:

[Release No. 34-54598; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2006-042]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Modify Nasdaq Rule 4760 Relating to the Operation of the Nasdaq
Crossing Network

October 13, 2006.
    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 October 4, 2006, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed
rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items
have been prepared by Nasdaq. Nasdaq filed the proposed rule change
pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposed rule change effective upon
filing with 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

    Nasdaq is proposing to modify Nasdaq Rule 4760 relating to the
operation of the Nasdaq Crossing Network. Nasdaq plans to implement the
proposed rule change on November 6, 2006. The text of the proposed rule
change is available on Nasdaq's Web site (http://www.nasdaq.com), at

Nasdaq's principal office, 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, Nasdaq included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. Nasdaq has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    On July 5, 2006, the Commission approved Nasdaq Rule 4760 which
governs the operation of the Nasdaq Crossing Network.\5\ The Nasdaq
Crossing Network will provide a new execution option to market
participants trading in Nasdaq and other exchange-listed securities
that will facilitate the execution of trades quickly and anonymously.
Nasdaq expects to launch the operation of the Crossing Network on or
about November 6, 2006.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54248 (July 31,
2006), 71 FR 44738 (August 7, 2006) (SR-NASDAQ-2006-019). Prior to
the effective date of Nasdaq's operation as an exchange for Nasdaq-
listed securities, the rule governing the Nasdaq Crossing Network
had been approved as an NASD rule (NASD Rule 4716). Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 54101 (July 5, 2006), 71 FR 39382 (July 12,
2006) (SR-NASD-2005-140).
    \6\ Telephone conference between Jan Woo, Attorney, Division of
Market Regulation, Commission, and Jeffrey Davis, Senior Associate
General Counsel, Nasdaq, on October 4, 2006 (correcting a
typographical error in the filing which stated that Nasdaq plans to
launch the operation of the Crossing Network on or about October 30,
2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In anticipation of the launch, Nasdaq has proposed some minor
modifications to Nasdaq Rule 4760. Due to the intervening approval of
Nasdaq's Single Book integration rule proposal \7\ which has caused a
conflict regarding the numbering of certain Nasdaq rules, Nasdaq
proposes to renumber the provisions governing the operation of the
Nasdaq Crossing Network as Nasdaq Rule 4770.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54155 (July 14,
2006), 71 FR 41291 (July 20, 2006) (SR-NASDAQ-2006-001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, in response to input from our members and other market
participants, Nasdaq proposes to modify the times of the Reference
Price Crosses during the regular hours session. Under the proposed rule
change, the regular hours session crosses would commence at 10:45 a.m.,
12:45 p.m., and 2:45 p.m. Eastern Time.
    Nasdaq also proposes to add a clarification to Nasdaq Rule 4770
about how Reference Price Cross orders will be allocated. The existing
rule provides that Reference Price Cross orders will be allocated on a
pro-rata basis, so that shares will be allocated pro-rata in round lots
to eligible orders based on the original size of the order. If
additional shares remain after the initial pro-rata allocation, those
shares will continue to be allocated pro-rata to eligible orders until
a number of round lots remain that is less than the number of eligible
orders. The proposed rule change clarifies that any remaining shares
will be allocated to the order which has designated the smallest
minimum acceptable execution quantity. If more than one such order
exists, any remaining shares will be allocated to the oldest eligible
order.
2. Statutory Basis
    Nasdaq believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of section 6 of the Act,\8\ in general and with section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions
in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. Nasdaq believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with these requirements in that the
changes are designed to address market participant input and issues
raised in testing relating to Nasdaq's proposed reference price
crossing product, which

will provide the Nasdaq additional means for facilitating transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 5 U.S.C. 78f.
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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: (1)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) impose any significant burden on competition; and (3) by
its terms become operative for 30 days after the date of this filing,
or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule
change has become effective pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) \10\ of the
Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

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

    Aquashade (Interim Decision). Aquashade is as an aquatic herbicide
whose mode of action is light filtration. It is primarily used in small
water bodies like ornamental ponds and small lakes, fountains and other
landscaping water features, swimming holes, aquaculture ponds, and
animal watering holes. The Ecological Risk Assessment found no level of
concern risk exceedances to all taxa. The Human Health Risk Assessment
also indicated no risk (dietary, residential, and occupational).
Aquashade was not on either initial list of chemicals to be screened
under the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP), and an
endangered species assessment has not been conducted at this time. No
mitigation is proposed at this time. The Agency's final registration
review decision is dependent upon the assessment of risks to threatened
and endangered species and after an EDSP Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) Section 408(p) determination has been made.
    Nithiazine (Interim Decision). The Nithiazine Summary Document was
published on March 18, 2009. Nithiazine is used as part of a bait
station to control flies in animal housing facilities and other
industrial operations. The structure of the bait station makes contact
between nithiazine and humans unlikely; therefore, there are no human
health risk concerns for nithiazine. Since the active ingredient is
contained in a bait station, no ecological exposure is expected.
Therefore, there are no ecological risk concerns for nithiazine.
Nithiazine does not pose a threat to pollinators and the Agency has
determined that it will cause No Effect to listed species. The Agency
has determined that no additional data are required at this time to
support the continuing registrations of nithiazine products. The final
decision on the registration review for nithiazine will occur after an
EDSP FFDCA section 408(p) determination has been made.
    d-Limonene (Interim Decision). The registration review docket for
d-limonene opened in September 2010. d-Limonene is a naturally
occurring chemical obtained from the rind of citrus fruits. It is
registered for use as an acaricide, insecticide, herbicide, insect
repellent, and is used as an inert ingredient for scent and flavoring
in other non-pesticide products. d-Limonene is currently registered for
use in/on food crops (citrus, pome fruits, grapes), feed crops, non-
food crops (ornamentals, Christmas trees, fencerows, recreational
areas, wood protection) and for residential uses. EPA published the
draft human health and ecological risk assessments in December 2014. A
qualitative human health assessment was conducted, and the Agency
concluded that d-limonene does not pose a risk to human health. A
quantitative ecological risk assessment was conducted and levels of
concern were exceeded for terrestrial plants and mammals (risks to
birds and terrestrial invertebrates could not be precluded). The Agency
is requiring modifications to several labels to reduce potential risks
of d-limonene to terrestrial birds and mammals. In addition, the Agency
will make several modifications to 40 CFR part 180. The Agency will
establish an exemption for the herbicidal uses of d-limonene from a
tolerance under subpart D, and existing exemption from tolerances from
the repellant uses of d-limonene under 180.539 subpart C will be moved
to subpart D for insecticidal uses. This Interim Decision does not
cover the EDSP component of this registration review case, nor does it
include a complete endangered species assessment or pollinator risk
assessment. The Agency's final registration review decision is
dependent upon the assessment of risks to threatened and endangered
species and pollinators as well as a determination under FFDCA Section
408(p) regarding endocrine disruption.
    2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol- 3(4H)-one, 5,6-dihydro-2- methyl-
(Interim Decision). There is one EPA registered product containing
active ingredient 2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol-3(4H)-one, 5,6- dihydro-2-
methyl-, also known as MTI. MTI is a materials preservative for use in
the manufacture of aqueous compositions used in the manufacture of
imaging products. The Agency did not require any additional data in
support of MTI's registration review or need to conduct human health or
environmental risk assessments due to the lack of exposure concerns for
MTI's registered use. Based on the lack of potential exposure, the
Agency made a ``no effect'' determination for listed species under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA). Except for the EDSP component of the MTI
registration review case, the Agency is not requiring additional data
and is not proposing any risk reduction measures for this case. The
final decision on the registration review for MTI will occur after the
EDSP FFDCA section 408(p) determination is made.
    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 the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA has considered the pesticides found in the
Table in this unit in light of the FIFRA standard for registration. The
Interim Decision document in the dockets describes the Agency's
rationale for issuing a registration review interim decision for these
pesticides.
    In addition to the interim registration review decision documents,
the registration review dockets for the pesticides listed in the Table
in this unit also includes other relevant documents related to the
registration review of these cases. The proposed interim registration
review decisions were posted to the docket and the public was invited
to submit any comments or new information.
    EPA addresses the comments or information received during the 60-
day comment period in the discussion for each pesticide listed in this
document. During the 60-day comment period, no public comments were
received for aquashade, nithiazine, or 2H-Cyclopent(d)isothiazol-
3(4H)-one, 5,6-

dihydro-2- methyl (MTI). Comments were received for d-limonene however
the public comments received were not substantive and did not affect
the Agency's interim decision.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the registration review case docket
for the pesticides listed in the Table in Unit II will remain open
until all actions required in the interim decisions have been
completed.
    Background on the registration review program is provided at:
https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation/registration-review-process.
Links to earlier documents related to the registration review of these
pesticides are provided in the pesticide chemical search data base
accessible at https://iaspub.epa.gov/apex/pesticides/f?p=chemicalsearch:1.

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 modifies the Class D and Class E airspace at Palmdale USAF Plant
42 Airport Palmdale, CA, to ensure the safety and management of
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 72610, November 13, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0942
to modify Class D and Class E airspace, Palmdale USAF Plant 42 Airport
Palmdale, CA. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
    Class D, E4, and E5 airspace designations are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E,
dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and 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 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies the Class E airspace,
designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area, at
Palmdale USAF Plant 42 Airport, Palmdale, CA. This airspace area is
designed to contain IFR aircraft descending below 1,000 feet above the
surface and is described as follows: That airspace extending upward
from the surface within 1 mile each side of the 270[deg] bearing from
the airport, extending from the 4.3-mile radius to 7.5 miles west of
Palmdale USAF Plant 42 Airport. This Class E airspace area is effective
during the specific dates and times established, in advance, by a
Notice to Airmen. The effective date and time will thereafter be
continuously published in the Chart Supplement.
    This action also modifies the Class E airspace, extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface. This airspace area is designed to
contain IFR arrivals descending below 1,500 feet above the surface and
IFR departures until reaching 1,200 feet above the surface. This
airspace area is described as follows: That airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.8-mile radius of the
airport, and within 6.1 miles each side of the 080[deg] bearing from
the airport, extending from the 6.8-mile radius to 12.9 miles east of
the airport, and within 4 miles north and 8 miles south of the 086[deg]
bearing from the airport, extending from the airport to 14.3 miles east
of the airport, and within 2 miles each side of the 274[deg] bearing
from the airport, extending from the 6.8-mile radius to 13.4 miles west
of Palmdale USAF Plant 42 Airport.
    Additionally, this action removes the Class E airspace, extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface. This airspace area is wholly
contained with the Los Angeles en route airspace area and duplication
is not necessary.
    Further, this action removes the Palmdale VORTAC from the Class E4
and the Class E5 legal descriptions. Removal of the navigational aid
allows the airspace to be defined from a single reference point,
simplifying how the airspace is described.
    Also, this action removes the Lancaster, Gen. William J. Fox
Airfield, CA, from the Class E5 legal description. Removal of the
airport allows the airspace to be defined from a single reference
point, simplifying how the airspace is described.
    Lastly, this action implements several administrative corrections
to the airspaces' legal descriptions. The airport name in the second
line of the Class D, Class E4, and Class E5 text header is updated to
``Palmdale USAF Plant 42 Airport, CA.'' The last sentence in the Class
D and Class E4 legal descriptions is updated to replace the term
``Airport/Facilities Directory.'' with the term ``Chart Supplement.''
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

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 will only
affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that
this rule, when promulgated, would 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.
