SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62325; File No. SR-Phlx-2010-85]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change Relating
to FLEX Equity Options

June 18, 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 June 15, 2010, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III, below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to assess a transaction charge for members
trading Flexible Exchange[reg] Options (``FLEX Options'').\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A FLEX option is a customized option that provides parties
to the transaction with the ability to fix terms including the
exercise style, expiration date, and certain exercise prices. See
Exchange Rule 1079. FLEX Options are a trademark of the Chicago
Board Options Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While changes to the Exchange's Fee Schedule pursuant to this
proposal are effective upon filing, the Exchange has designated this
proposal to be effective for trades settling on or after June 30, 2010.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqtrader.com/micro.aspx?id=PHLXfilings, at the
principal office of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference
Room, and on the Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The

Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C
below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose.
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to establish a new fee
for equity options transactions executed pursuant to Exchange Rule 1079
(``FLEX equity options''). The Exchange believes that the proposed fee
reduction for trading FLEX equity options will encourage members to
trade additional FLEX equity options contracts on the Exchange,
resulting in additional order flow to the Exchange. Currently, the fees
which members are assessed when trading FLEX equity options are the
standard equity option fees.
    Currently, members who trade FLEX equity options are assessed the
standard equity options fees delineated in Section II of the Fee
Schedule. The Exchange is proposing to reduce transaction fees to $0.10
per contract side for FLEX equity options for all participants, except
Customers.\4\ Specifically, the Exchange proposes to assess a $.10
transaction charge on Professionals \5\, Specialists \6\, Registered
Options Traders \7\, Streaming Quote Traders (``SQT'') \8\, Remote
Streaming Quote Traders (``RSQT'') \9\, Broker-Dealers and Firms.
Customers would continue to remain free in FLEX equity options as they
currently are in equity option products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ At this time the Exchange is not proposing to otherwise
amend its equity option fees.
    \5\ Rule 1000(b)(14) provides in relevant part: ``The term
``professional'' means any person or entity that (i) is not a broker
or dealer in securities, and (ii) places more than 390 orders in
listed options per day on average during a calendar month for its
own beneficial account(s).
    \6\ A Specialist is an Exchange member who is registered as an
options specialist pursuant to rule 1020(a).
    \7\ A Registered Option Trader is defined in Exchange Rule
1014(b) as a regular member or a foreign currency options
participant of the Exchange located on the trading floor who has
received permission from the Exchange to trade in options for his
own account. A ROT includes a SQT, a RSQT and a Non-SQT, which by
definition is neither a SQT or a RSQT. See Exchange Rule 1014 (b)(i)
and (ii).
    \8\ An SQT is an Exchange Registered Options Trader (``ROT'')
who has received permission from the Exchange to generate and submit
option quotations electronically through an electronic interface
with AUTOM via an Exchange approved proprietary electronic quoting
device in eligible options to which such SQT is assigned. See
Exchange Rule 1014(b)(ii)(A).
    \9\ An RSQT is an ROT that is a member or member organization
with no physical trading floor presence who has received permission
from the Exchange to generate and submit option quotations
electronically through AUTOM in eligible options to which such RSQT
has been assigned. An RSQT may only submit such quotations
electronically from off the floor of the Exchange. See Exchange Rule
1014(b)(ii)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange currently waives the Firm equity options transaction
fees for members executing facilitation orders pursuant to Exchange
Rule 1064 when such members are trading in their own proprietary
account.\10\ Similar to the equity option fees, which are currently
subject to the aforementioned waiver, the Exchange would continue to
apply the waiver to members executing facilitation orders pursuant to
Exchange Rule 1064 to FLEX equity option transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The waiver does not apply to orders where a member is
acting as agent on behalf of a non-member. See Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 60477 (August 11, 2009), 74 FR 41777 (August 18,
2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-67).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While changes to the Exchange's Fee Schedule pursuant to this
proposal are effective upon filing, the Exchange has designated this
proposal to be effective for trades settling on or after June 30, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis.
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Fee Schedule
is consistent with section 6(b) of the Act \11\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(4) of the Act \12\ in
particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees
and other charges among Exchange members. The Exchange believes that
the proposed fees for FLEX options are equitable and reasonable because
all participants will equally be assessed $.10 per contract and
Customers will continue to remain free for equity options transactions
executed pursuant to Exchange Rule 1079.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, the Exchange's proposal to extend the current waiver
for members executing facilitation orders pursuant to Exchange Rule
1064 to FLEX equity options is reasonable and equitable because it
would continue to allow members the benefit of a waiver they receive
today.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \13\ and paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \14\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the 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.

Amendment 39-18460; AD 2016-07-15]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. This AD was prompted by a
fuel leak that occurred in the baggage compartment during fuel system
pressurization. This AD requires opening the fuel boxes and restoring
the sealing. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of a connector
or coupling on a fuel line, which, in combination with a leak in the
corresponding enclosure (i.e., fuel box), could result in a fire in the
baggage compartment and affect the safe flight of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective May 16, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 16,
2016.

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 Dassault Aviation
Model FALCON 7X airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on November 27, 2015 (80 FR 74056) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was
prompted by a fuel leak that occurred in the baggage compartment during
fuel system pressurization. The NPRM proposed to require opening the
fuel boxes and restoring the sealing. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct failure of a connector or coupling on a fuel line, which,
in combination with a leak in the corresponding enclosure (i.e., fuel
box), could result in a fire in the baggage compartment and affect the
safe flight of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0116, dated May 13, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Dassault
Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During the fuel system pressurization of a production line
Falcon 7X aeroplane, a fuel leak occurred in the baggage
compartment. The technical investigations concluded that a double
failure of a connector (or coupling) on a fuel line, in combination
with a defective fuel tightness of the corresponding enclosure (fuel
box), caused the leak.
    Failure of the second barrier (fuel box) is a dormant failure,
as this will only manifest itself in case of connector (or fuel pipe
coupling) failure in flight.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in a fire in the
baggage compartment, which would affect the aeroplane safe flight.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Dassault Aviation
issued Service Bulletin (SB) F7X-284, which provides instructions to
restore the sealing of the Left Hand (LH) and Right Hand (RH) fuel
boxes.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires opening
of the fuel boxes and restoration of the sealing of the fuel boxes
to meet the initial design specifications.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
5813.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data 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 for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Dassault Service Bulletin 7X-284, Revision 1, dated
April 8, 2014. The service information describes procedures for opening
the fuel boxes and restoring the sealing. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal

course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 39 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 16 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts are negligible. Based on
these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be
$53,040, or $1,360 per product.
    According to the manufacturer, all of the costs of this AD may be
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

    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 that 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; 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-03-
12 for all Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes. AD
2013-03-12 currently requires revising the maintenance program to
incorporate new or revised maintenance requirements and airworthiness
limitations. Since we issued AD 2013-03-12, the manufacturer has issued
a revision to the airplane maintenance manual (AMM) that introduces new
or more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness
limitations. This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or revised
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are
proposing this AD to prevent reduced structural integrity of the
airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 21,
2017.

    On February 1, 2013, we issued AD 2013-03-12, Amendment 39-17347
(78 FR 9798, February 12, 2013) (``AD 2013-03-12''). AD 2013-03-12
requires actions intended to address an unsafe condition on all
Dassault Aviation Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes. Since we issued AD
2013-03-12, the manufacturer has issued a revision to the AMM that
introduces new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or
airworthiness limitations.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2016-0067, dated April 7, 2016 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Dassault Aviation
Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The airworthiness limitations and maintenance requirements for
the Myst[egrave]re Falcon 50 type design are included in DA
Myst[egrave]re Falcon 50 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) chapter
5-40 and are approved by EASA.
    Failure to implement these limitations or accomplish these tasks
could result in an unsafe condition [reduced structural integrity of
the airplane]. Consequently, compliance with these actions has been
identified as mandatory for continued airworthiness.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD 2011-0246 [which corresponds to FAA
AD 2013-03-12] to require accomplishment of the maintenance tasks,
and implementation of the airworthiness limitations, as specified in
DA Myst[egrave]re Falcon 50 AMM chapter 5-40 Revision 21.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, DA issued revision 23 of the
Mystere Falcon 50 AMM chapter 5-40 (hereafter referred to as `the
ALS' in this [EASA] AD), which introduces new and more restrictive
maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations.
    The ALS introduces, among others, the following changes:

--Addition of more detailed data regarding SSIP program,
--Task 53-50-35-220-802 ``Detailed inspection of the frame 35 upper
and lower sections'', replacing Task 53-50-35-220-801,
--Task 55-00-00-270-801 ``Ultrasonic inspection for stress corrosion
in stabilizer hinges'', replacing Task 55-00-00-250-801, and
--Task 78-31-00-250-802 ``Special detailed inspection (fluorescent
penetrant) of thrust reverser door hinge fittings'', replacing Task
78-31-00-250-801.

    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD, retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2011-0246, which is superseded, and requires
the implementation of the maintenance tasks and airworthiness
limitations, as specified in the ALS.

    This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate

new or revised maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations.
You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
9569.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Dassault Aviation has issued Section 05-40/00, Airworthiness
Limitations, of Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations, of the
Dassault Falcon 50/50EX Maintenance Manual, Revision 23, dated July
2015. The service information describes maintenance requirements and/or
airworthiness limitations. 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 and Requirements of This Proposed 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 proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.
    This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance
documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance with
these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have
been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed
by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able to accomplish the
actions described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with
14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative
method of compliance according to paragraph (l)(1) of this proposed AD.
The request should include a description of changes to the required
actions that will ensure the continued damage tolerance of the affected
structure.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 249 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The actions required by AD 2013-03-12, and retained in this
proposed AD, take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost
of the actions that are required by AD 2013-03-12 is $85 per product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $21,165, or $85
per product.

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 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. 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; 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.

The Proposed Amendment

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

U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary July 2, 2003 PFOA ECA Fluoropolymers Technical Workgroup Meeting Summary, 6/ 23/ 03 51 participants; Attendance list in docket at OPPT 2003 0012 0125.

The meeting included three sections: I. Presentation on scope of all Fluoropolymer Industry LOI commitments II. Discussion/ Questions III. Identification of workgroup next steps; determination of workgroup assignments for workgroup and plenary meetings on July 9 and 10, 2003.

I. LOI Commitments  Summary of Industry Presentations The Fluoropolymer Manufacturers Group ( FMG) presentation detailed the fluoropolymer industry LOI commitments, including the topics of product stewardship, physical chemical properties of fluoropolymers, articles of commerce testing, and incineration. The slide presentation is available in the docket at OPPT 2003 0012 0125.

Product Stewardship FMG LOI Product Stewardship commitments include funding additional toxicity and fate studies; updating information materials including their Guide for Safe Handling of Fluoropolymer Resins and Guide for Safe Handling of Fluoropolymer Dispersions publications; continued training and technical support for fluoropolymer processors; funding a study to understand material fate for users of dispersion fluoropolymers; and sharing technology across the fluoropolymer industry to reduce environmental emissions. FMG stated that their commitment to reduce environmental emissions of APFO 50% by 2006 is currently ahead of schedule.

Physical/ Chemical Properties FMG reported on their LOI commitments with regards to physical/ chemical ( p chem) properties of fluoropolymers. They distributed a report entitled Basic Fluoropolymer Data to provide a comprehensive literature search of available physical/ chemical properties data for three principal fluoropolymers. FMG asserted that this information adequately addresses Item # 2 of the EPA ECA Preliminary Framework document regarding physical/ chemical properties, and that no further testing would be needed. The workgroup was asked to review the information and forward any specific clarification questions to Mary Dominiak at EPA for distribution and discussion at the next meeting.

Articles of Commerce Testing FMG reported on their LOI commitments with regard to Article of Commerce Testing. The FMG presentation described their intent to evaluate the potential for articles of commerce to contribute to APFO exposure. The analysis of articles will include dry fluoropolymer resins as U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary July 2, 2003 2 well as liquid fluoropolymer dispersions. FMG noted that most products sold as dry powders and pellets have all residual PFOA removed prior to sale, while the dispersions contain a certain amount of APFO when sold.

FMG reported that the selection criteria for articles to be tested under the FMG LOI commitments will be based on widespread consumer use and the exposure potential for industrial and commercial products. FMG stated that, due to the small amount of fluoropolymers present, little potential exposure is expected. The articles to be selected would be classified according to consumer applications, industrial applications, high heat processing and low heat processing. The high heat processing would be expected to drive off APFO, while the low heat processing would not. Test article selection priority would be assigned based on potential exposure routes for consumer products, low heat processed products, and higher volume industrial applications.

The testing protocol FMG proposed for articles testing would be FDA's 21 CFR 175.300 for new articles and FDA Test  Guidance for Industry dated April, 2002 for aged articles. FMG indicated that the next steps for analysis of new articles will be the review of 15 candidate articles and the final determination of articles for testing; the development and finalization of the study plan; the validation of all analytical methods; the identification of candidate articles from at least 2 different manufacturers each for testing; and the completion of a proposed time line of work through the end of this year. Aged articles will be evaluated based upon the results of the new articles testing.

Incineration With respect to incineration, FMG acknowledged that its LOI did not include provisions for incineration testing, but that FMG agreed that this information would be useful and could be an appropriate focus for an ECA. FMG reported that its intent would be to determine whether incineration results in the emission of PFOA from fluoropolymers and fluoropolymer containing articles. FMG proposed a protocol for incineration testing based on the University of Dayton lab scale thermal degradation test which focuses on municipal and hazardous waste incineration. FMG would select representative articles and fluoropolymers for analysis. The incineration protocol would be adapted to evaluate fluoropolymers using the 3M study as a basis. Results of the 3M incineration study are forthcoming. The adapted protocol would be reviewed with EPA prior to the start of any testing.

II. Discussion/ Questions EPA clarified that the product stewardship elements generally included in an ECA involve submitting reports on the nature, extent and range of stewardship activities during a period on a company by company basis. EPA noted that although the LOI includes provisions for FMG to update the Agency, the LOI commitment may not extend to the level of detail or cover the period of time that EPA might contemplate for an ECA. U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Meeting Summary July 2, 2003 3 Interested parties asked whether the submitted handout of Physical/ Chemical properties was an effort to explain why additional degradation testing is not necessary. FMG responded that based on inherent properties, the materials are highly resistant to thermal and chemical insult, and that conducting traditional biodegradation studies would, in their opinion, not be productive. FMG stated that the handout document was an effort to summarize the already available data, and that FMG believes there is no need for additional testing. FMG suggested that the workgroup review the data and forward any questions regarding the need for clarification to Mary Dominiak for submission to FMG. FMG promised to make every effort to submit the responses in a timely fashion.

Many of the workgroup participants had questions about the selection of articles of commerce, including the list of choices and the criteria for selection, and whether both dry and dispersion products were being considered. The workgroup suggested FMG provide a matrix describing which articles of commerce will be included under the LOI commitments. The matrix would include consumer and industrial applications, and indicate whether they are manufactured at high or low temperatures. The workgroup expressed concern that without such a matrix, it is not possible to understand what testing is included under the FMG LOI commitment. FMG stated that they would be able to provide a matrix by the next meeting on July 9.

Parties questioned whether FDA 175.300 was the appropriate test for articles of commerce testing, given that it is a test for coatings that may not be appropriate for all fluoropolymer applications. FMG responded that the intent was to use a well recognized test, not a specific test method.

III. Next Steps ° FMG will deliver to EPA a matrix of products and articles with proposed testing selection criteria by 7/ 7 for distribution. The matrix will include consumer and industrial products, and temperature considerations. ° Send questions concerning p chem properties in particular and the FMG LOI and the FMG presentation to Mary Dominiak by COB on 6/ 27. These will be forwarded to Lynn Harris by 7/ 3 for response prior to the next workgroup meeting on 7/ 9. ° Should the 3M incineration protocol and findings be available prior to the 7/ 9 meeting, hard copies will be made available for review at the 7/ 9 meeting. Requests for hard copies should be sent to Mary Dominiak so that appropriate copies can be made. ° EPA will consider what information needs to be included in the proposed Report Schedule. Most of the information could already be contained in the LOI commitment. Any time line information not available will be incorporated into a summary at a later date. ° Be considering workgroup spokesperson for plenary meeting on 7/ 10.
