DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2225-021]

Public Utility District No. 1 of Pend Oreille County, Washington;
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for amendment to
authorize removing Mill Pond Dam by demolishing the dam without
building a cofferdam to promote sediment outflow and facilitate
sediment transport to the downstream reaches of Sullivan Creek. This is
a change from the removal method approved by the Commission in its
Order Accepting Surrender of License and Authorizing Disposition of
Project Facilities issued March 20, 2013 (142 FERC ] 62,232). The
project is located on Sullivan Creek near the town of Metaline Falls,
Pend Oreille County, Washington. The project occupies federal lands
administered by the U.S. Forest Service within the Colville National
Forest.
    The application, filed with the Commission on January 30, 2017,
contains an applicant prepared Supplemental Environmental Assessment in
its Exhibit E (pages 13-65). In staff's independent review of the
licensee's Exhibit E, staff has decided to adopt the licensee's
Supplemental Environmental Assessment and issue it as staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA analyzes the potential
environmental impacts of the project plus the proposed mitigation
measures and concludes that granting the amendment to licensing would
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available
for public inspection. The EA and supplement may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''

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

II. Description of the Proposal, as Modified by Amendment No. 2 \9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Additional information regarding the Fund, the Trust, and
the Shares, including investment strategies, creation and redemption
procedures, and portfolio holdings can be found in Amendment No. 2,
supra note 7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Description of the Fund

    The Exchange proposes to list and trade Shares of the Fund \10\
under BZX Rule 14.11(f)(4), which governs the listing and trading of
Trust Issued Receipts \11\ on the Exchange. Volatility Shares LLC
(``Sponsor''), a Delaware limited liability company and a commodity
pool operator, serves as the Sponsor of the Trust.\12\ Tidal ETF
Services LLC serves as the administrator; U.S. Bank National
Association serves as custodian of the Fund and the Shares; U.S.
Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as the sub-administrator and transfer
agent; and Wilmington Trust Company is the sole trustee of the Trust.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The Exchange states that the Fund has filed a draft
registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933,
dated December 6, 2019 (File No. 377-02945) (``Draft Registration
Statement''). The Exchange represents that the Fund will not trade
on the Exchange until there is an effective registration statement
for the Fund.
    \11\ Rule 14.11(f)(4) applies to Trust Issued Receipts that
invest in ``Financial Instruments.'' The term ``Financial
Instruments,'' as defined in Rule 14.11(f)(4)(A)(iv), means any
combination of investments, including cash; securities; options on
securities and indices; futures contracts; options on futures
contracts; forward contracts; equity caps, collars and floors; and
swap agreements.
    \12\ The Exchange states that the Sponsor is not a broker-dealer
or affiliated with a broker-dealer. The Exchange further states that
in the event that (a) the Sponsor becomes a broker-dealer or newly
affiliated with a broker-dealer, or (b) any new sponsor is a broker-
dealer or becomes affiliated with a broker-dealer, it will implement
and maintain a fire wall with respect to its relevant personnel or
such broker-dealer affiliate, as applicable, regarding access to
information concerning the composition and/or changes to the
portfolio, and will be subject to procedures designed to prevent the
use and dissemination of material non-public information regarding
the portfolio.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange states that the Fund seeks to provide daily investment
results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to the performance
of the Short VIX Futures Index (SHORTVOL) (``Index'').\13\ The Index
seeks to offer short exposure to market volatility through publicly
traded futures markets and measures the daily inverse performance of a
theoretical portfolio of first- and second-month futures contracts on
the Cboe Volatility Index (``VIX'').\14\ The Fund does not seek to
achieve its primary investment objective over a period of time greater
than a single day. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a
single day is the result of its return for each day compounded over the
period and usually will differ in amount and possibly even direction
from either the inverse of the VIX or the inverse of a portfolio of
short-term VIX Futures Contracts for the same period. These differences
can be significant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The Index is sponsored by Cboe Global Indexes (``Index
Sponsor''). The Index Sponsor is not a registered broker-dealer, but
is affiliated with a broker-dealer. The Exchange represents that the
Index Sponsor has implemented and will maintain a fire wall with
respect to the broker-dealer affiliate regarding access to
information concerning the composition of and/or changes to the
Index. In addition, the Exchange represents that the Index Sponsor
has implemented and will maintain procedures that are designed to
prevent the use and dissemination of material, non-public
information regarding the Index.
    \14\ The Exchange states that the VIX is designed to measure the
implied volatility of the S&P 500 over 30 days in the future and is
calculated based on the prices of certain put and call options on
the S&P 500. The Exchange states that the VIX is reflective of the
premium paid by investors for certain options linked to the level of
the S&P 500.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund will primarily invest in VIX futures contracts traded on
the Cboe Futures Exchange, Inc. (``CFE'') (``VIX Futures Contracts'')
based on components of the Index to pursue its investment objective. In
the event accountability rules, price limits, position limits, margin
limits or other exposure limits are reached with respect

to VIX Futures Contracts, the Sponsor may cause the Fund to obtain
exposure to the Index through over-the-counter (``OTC'') swaps
referencing the Index or referencing particular VIX Futures Contracts
comprising the Index (``VIX Swap Agreements'').
    The Fund may also invest in VIX Swap Agreements if the market for a
specific VIX Futures Contract experiences emergencies (e.g., natural
disaster, terrorist attack or an act of God) or disruptions (e.g., a
trading halt or a flash crash) or in situations where the Sponsor deems
it impractical or inadvisable to buy or sell VIX Futures Contracts
(such as during periods of market volatility or illiquidity). The VIX
Swap Agreements in which the Fund may invest may or may not be
cleared.\15\ The Fund will collateralize its obligations with Cash and
Cash Equivalents \16\ consistent with the 1940 Act and interpretations
thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ The Exchange represents that the Fund will only enter into
VIX Swap Agreements with counterparties that the Sponsor reasonably
believes are capable of performing under the contract and will post
collateral as required by the counterparty. The Fund will seek,
where possible, to use counterparties, as applicable, whose
financial status is such that the risk of default is reduced;
however, the risk of losses resulting from default is still
possible. The Sponsor will evaluate the creditworthiness of
counterparties on a regular basis. In addition to information
provided by credit agencies, the Sponsor will review approved
counterparties using various factors, which may include the
counterparty's reputation, the Sponsor's past experience with the
counterparty and the price/market actions of debt of the
counterparty. The Fund may use various techniques to minimize OTC
counterparty credit risk including entering into arrangements with
counterparties whereby both sides exchange collateral on a mark-to-
market basis. Collateral posted by the Fund to a counterparty in
connection with uncleared VIX Swap Agreements is generally held for
the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated tri-party account at
the custodian to protect the counterparty against non-payment by the
Fund.
    \16\ For purposes of the proposal, ``Cash and Cash Equivalents''
has the meaning set forth in BZX Rule 14.11(i)(4)(C)(iii) applicable
to Managed Fund Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition to VIX Swap Agreements, if the Fund is unable to meet
its investment objective through investments in VIX Futures Contracts,
the Fund may also obtain exposure to the Index through listed VIX
options contracts traded on the Cboe Exchange, Inc. (``Cboe'') (``VIX
Options Contracts'').
    The Fund may also invest in Cash and Cash Equivalents that may
serve as collateral in the VIX Futures Contracts, VIX Swap Agreements,
and VIX Options Contracts (collectively, ``VIX Derivative Products'').
    If the Fund is successful in meeting its objective, its value
(before fees and expenses) on a given day should gain approximately as
much on a percentage basis as the level of the Index when it rises.
Conversely, its value (before fees and expenses) should lose
approximately as much on a percentage basis as the level of the Index
when it declines. The Fund primarily acquires short exposure to the VIX
through VIX Futures Contracts, such that the Fund has exposure intended
to approximate the Index at the time of the net asset value (``NAV'')
calculation of the Fund.\17\ However, as discussed above, in the event
that the Fund is unable to meet its investment objective solely through
the investment of VIX Futures Contracts, it may invest in VIX Swap
Agreements or VIX Options Contracts. The Fund may also invest in Cash
or Cash Equivalents that may serve as collateral to the Fund's
investments in VIX Derivative Products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ The Exchange states the Fund's NAV will be calculated at
4:00 p.m. ET.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund is not actively managed but rather seeks to remain fully
invested in VIX Derivative Products (and Cash and Cash Equivalents as
collateral) that provide exposure to the Index consistent with its
investment objective without regard to market conditions, trends or
direction. In seeking to achieve the Fund's investment objective, the
Sponsor uses a mathematical approach to determine the type, quantity
and mix of investment positions that the Sponsor believes in
combination should produce daily returns consistent with the Fund's
objective. The Sponsor relies upon a pre-determined model to generate
orders that result in repositioning the Fund's investments in
accordance with its investment objective.

B. VIX Futures Contracts

    The Index is comprised of, and the value of the Fund will be based
on, VIX Futures Contracts. VIX Futures Contracts are measures of the
market's expectation of the level of VIX at certain points in the
future, and as such, will behave differently than current, or spot,
VIX. According to the Exchange, while the VIX represents a measure of
the current expected volatility of the S&P 500 over the next 30 days,
the prices of VIX Futures Contracts are based on the current
expectation of what the expected 30-day volatility will be at a
particular time in the future (on the expiration date). As a result,
the Index and the Fund should be expected to perform very differently
from the inverse of the VIX over all periods of time.

C. Description of the Index

    The Index is designed to express the daily inverse performance of a
theoretical portfolio of first- and second-month VIX Futures Contracts
(``Index Components''), with the price of each VIX Futures Contract
reflecting the market's expectation of future volatility. The Index
seeks to reflect the returns that are potentially available from
holding an unleveraged short position in first- and second- month VIX
Futures Contracts. While the Index does not correspond to the inverse
of the VIX, as it seeks short exposure to VIX, the value of the Index,
and by extension the Fund, will generally rise as the VIX falls and
fall as the VIX rises. However, as noted above, because VIX Futures
Contracts correlate to future volatility readings of VIX, while the VIX
itself correlates to current volatility, the Index and the Fund should
be expected to perform significantly different from the inverse of the
VIX. Further, unlike the Index, the VIX, which is not a benchmark for
the Fund, is calculated based on the prices of certain put and call
options on the S&P 500.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See supra note 14.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Index employs rules for selecting the Index Components and a
formula to calculate a level for the Index from the prices of these
components. Specifically, the Index Components represent the prices of
the two near-term VIX Futures Contracts, replicating a position that
rolls the nearest month VIX Futures Contract to the next month VIX
Futures Contract on a daily basis in equal fractional amounts. This
results in a constant weighted average maturity of approximately one
month. The roll period usually begins on the Wednesday falling 30
calendar days before the S&P 500 option expiration for the following
month (``Cboe VIX Monthly Futures Settlement Date'') and runs to the
Tuesday prior to the subsequent month's Cboe VIX Monthly Futures
Settlement Date.

III. Proceedings To Determine Whether to Approve or Disapprove SR-
CboeBZX-2020-003, as Modified by Amendment No. 2, and Grounds for
Disapproval Under Consideration

    The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Section
19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \19\ to determine whether the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, should be approved or
disapproved. Institution of such proceedings is appropriate at this
time in view of the legal and policy issues raised by the proposal.
Institution of proceedings does not indicate that the

Commission has reached any conclusions with respect to any of the
issues involved. Rather, as described below, the Commission seeks and

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act,\20\ the Commission is
providing notice of the grounds for disapproval under consideration.
The Commission is instituting proceedings to allow for additional
analysis of the proposal's consistency with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,
which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national
securities exchange be ``designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade,'' and ``to protect investors and the public
interest.'' \21\

IV. Procedure: Request for Written Comments

    The Commission requests that interested persons provide written
submissions of their views, data, and arguments with respect to the
issues identified above, as well as any other concerns they may have
with the proposal. In particular, the Commission invites the written
views of interested persons concerning whether the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) or any other provision of the Act, or the rules and regulations
thereunder. Although there do not appear to be any issues relevant to
approval or disapproval that would be facilitated by an oral
presentation of views, data, and arguments, the Commission will
consider, pursuant to Rule 19b-4, any request for an opportunity to
make an oral presentation.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act, as amended by the
Securities Act Amendments of 1975, Public Law 94-29 (June 4, 1975),
grants the Commission flexibility to determine what type of
proceeding--either oral or notice and opportunity for written
comments--is appropriate for consideration of a particular proposal
by a self-regulatory organization. See Securities Act Amendments of
1975, Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs, S. Rep. No.
75, 94th Cong., 1st Sess. 30 (1975).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments regarding whether the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 2, should be approved or disapproved by May 19, 2020. Any
person who wishes to file a rebuttal to any other person's submission
must file that rebuttal by June 2, 2020.
    The Commission asks that commenters address the sufficiency of the
Exchange's statements in support of the proposal, which are set forth
in Amendment No. 2,\23\ in addition to any other comments they may wish
to submit about the proposed rule change. In this regard, the
Commission seeks commenters' views regarding whether the Exchange's
proposal to list and trade Shares of the Fund, which seeks to provide
daily investment results that correspond to the performance of an index
that measures the daily inverse performance of a theoretical portfolio
of first- and second-month VIX Futures Contracts, is adequately
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, and to protect
investors and the public interest, and is consistent with the
maintenance of a fair and orderly market under the Exchange Act. In
particular, the Commission seeks commenters' views regarding whether
the Exchange has adequately described the potential impact of sudden
fluctuations in market volatility on the Index and on the Fund's
operation and performance for the Commission to make a determination
under Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2008-0098]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated July 5, 2013, Iowa Interstate Railroad (IAIS) has petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained
at 49 CFR Part 223, Safety Glazing Standards--Locomotives, Passenger
Cars and Cabooses. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2008-
0098.
    IAIS, a Class III railroad, has requested an extension, with two
modifications, of a previously granted waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the safety glazing standards as prescribed by 49
CFR 223.15, Requirements for existing passenger cars, for 14 open-
window coach cars used in tourist and excursion service. Specifically,
the car numbers are: RRDX 804, 806, 810, 814, 816, 819, 820, 822, 826,
831, 834, 836, 837, and 838. These cars were built by the Canadian Car
and Foundry Company in 1953 for the Canadian Pacific Railway, and were
used in Montreal, QC, in commuter service until 2005. The cars were
purchased by the parent company of IAIS, Railroad Development
Corporation, in autumn 2006 for excursion service on an infrequent
basis. The cars are locomotive-hauled and operate over a mixture of
urban and rural areas at speeds up to 30 mph.
    The glazing in these coaches is polycarbonate plastic and meets the
requirement for Canadian passenger equipment glazing, but may not meet
the requirements of 49 CFR Part 223. Since the cars were purchased and
delivered to IAIS, there have been no acts of vandalism against the
glazing. The primary use of the cars is fundraising for local volunteer
fire departments along the IAIS line.
    The railroad has requested two modifications to the conditions of
the original waiver. First, remove the limitation that the cars only be
operated a maximum of 10 times a year to provide the opportunity to
improve the use of the equipment. Second, increase the speed
restriction from 30 mph to 40 mph to match the timetable speed of other
IAIS trains. The other conditions set by the original waiver will
remain in effect.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue, SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following

    Communications received by September 23, 2013 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered as far as practicable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What Information is EPA Particularly Interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of PRA, EPA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What Should I Consider when I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
    6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

III. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply
to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
persons who manufacture, process or import, use, distribute, or dispose
of one or more specified chemical substances.
    Title: TSCA Section 4 Test Rules, Consent Orders, Test Rule
Exemptions, and Voluntary Data Submission.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1139.08, OMB Control No. 2070-0033.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on June 30,
2008. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is
designed to assure that chemicals that may pose serious risks to human
health or the environment undergo testing by manufacturers or
processors, and that the results of such testing are made available to
EPA. EPA uses the information collected under the authority of TSCA
section 4 to assess risks associated with the manufacture, processing,
distribution, use, or disposal of a chemical, and to support any
necessary regulatory action with respect to that chemical.
    EPA must assure that appropriate tests are performed on a chemical
if it decides:
    1. That a chemical being considered under TSCA section 4(a) may
pose an ``unreasonable risk'' or is produced in ``substantial''
quantities that may result in substantial or significant human

exposure or substantial environmental release of the chemical.
    2. That additional data are needed to determine or predict the
impacts of the chemical's manufacture, processing, distribution, use,
or disposal.
    3. That testing is needed to develop such data. Rules and consent
orders under TSCA section 4 require that one manufacturer or processor
of a subject chemical perform the specified testing and report the
results of that testing to EPA.
TSCA section 4 also allows a manufacturer or processor of a subject
chemical to apply for an exemption from the testing requirement, if
that testing will be or has been performed by another party. This
information collection applies to reporting and recordkeeping
activities associated with the information that EPA requires industry
to provide in response to TSCA section 4 test rules, consent orders,
test rule exemptions, and other data submissions.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40
CFR part 790). Respondents may claim all or part of a document
confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim
of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance
with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 243
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 58.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
10.4.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 112,590 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $ 5,662,701. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $ 5,662,701 and an estimated cost of $ 0 for
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval?

    There is a net decrease of 90,424 hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease reflects EPA's revised estimates of the
number of test rules and consent orders that the Agency expects to
issue in the future, as well as revised estimates of the amount of
testing still to be done under EPA's High Production Volume Challenge
Program. The supporting statement includes detailed analyses of these
revised estimates. This change is an adjustment.

V. What is the Next Step in the Process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce
the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0793; Project Identifier MCAI-2020-00976-R;
Amendment 39-21243; AD 2020-19-02]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2000-22-19
for Eurocopter France (now Airbus Helicopters) Model SA330F, G, and J
helicopters. AD 2000-22-19 required repetitively inspecting certain
tail rotor (T/R) blades for skin debonding and a crack. Since the FAA
issued AD 2000-22-19, the inspection procedures have been revised.
Additionally, the FAA is adding an affected part-numbered T/R blade and
the FAA-validation for Model SA330F and G helicopters has been
cancelled. This new AD revises the applicability, requires repetitively
inspecting affected T/R blades with the new inspection procedures, and
depending on the inspection results, repairing or replacing the T/R
blade. This new AD also prohibits installing an affected T/R blade
unless it has passed the inspections. The actions of this AD are
intended to address an unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 7, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document listed in this AD as of October 7,
2020.
    The FAA must receive comments on this AD by November 6, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and the FAA did not provide you with notice and an opportunity
to provide your comments prior to it becoming effective. However, the
FAA invites you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written
comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments reference a
specific portion of the AD, explain the reason for any recommended
change, and include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not
contain duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of
written comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters
should submit them only one time.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will file in the docket all

comments received, as well as a report summarizing each substantive
public contact with FAA personnel concerning this rulemaking during the
comment period. The FAA will consider all the comments received and may
conduct additional rulemaking based on those comments.

Confidential Business Information

    Confidential Business Information (CBI) is commercial or financial
information that is both customarily and actually treated as private by
its owner. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552),
CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to
this final rule contain commercial or financial information that is
customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this final rule, it is important that
you clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each
page of your submission containing CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will
treat such marked submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they
will not be placed in the public docket of this final rule. Submissions
containing CBI should be sent to Matt Fuller, AD Program Manager,
Continued Operational Safety Branch, Airworthiness Products Section,
General Aviation and Rotorcraft Unit, FAA, 10101 Hillwood Pkwy., Fort
Worth, TX 76177; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically
designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this
rulemaking.

Discussion

    The FAA issued AD 2000-22-19, Amendment 39-11967 (65 FR 68071,
November 14, 2000) (``AD 2000-22-19''), for Eurocopter France (now
Airbus Helicopters) Model SA330F, G, and J helicopters with a T/R blade
part number (P/N) 330A12-0000-(all dash numbers), 330A12-0000-(all dash
numbers), or 330A12-0006-(all dash numbers), installed.
    AD 2000-22-19 required, within a compliance time interval based on
whether a de-icing system was installed, repetitively inspecting each
T/R blade for skin debonding and eddy current inspecting for a crack.
The FAA issued AD 2000-22-19 to prevent fatigue cracking of a T/R
blade, failure of a T/R blade, and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.

Actions Since AD 2000-22-19 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2000-22-19, EASA, which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, issued EASA AD No.
2016-0059-E, dated March 22, 2016 (EASA AD 2016-0059-E), to correct an
unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter,
Eurocopter France, Aerospatiale) Model SA 330 J helicopters. EASA AD
2016-0059-E retains the requirements of Direction
G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC) France AD 87-032-
052(B)R3, dated January 23, 1991, which it supersedes, and also
mandates improved service instructions.
    Airbus Helicopters issued the improved service instructions in
Emergency Alert Service Bulletin No. 05.101, Revision 0, dated March
21, 2016, to extend the eddy current inspection area and specify new
tooling to inspect the extended area.
    Also, since the FAA issued AD 2000-22-19, it was identified that AD
2000-22-19 inadvertently listed T/R blade P/N 330A12-0000-(all dash
numbers) twice in its applicability and omitted T/R blade P/N 330A12-
0005-(all dash numbers). This final rule removes T/R blade P/N 330A12-
0000-(all dash numbers) altogether from the applicability because these
part-numbered T/R blades have been retired from the fleet and expands
the applicability by adding helicopters with T/R blade P/N 330A12-0005-
(all dash numbers) installed.
    Additionally, at the request of Airbus Helicopters, Model SA330F
and G helicopters have been removed from the FAA Type Certificate Data
Sheet (TCDS). According to Airbus Helicopters, none of these aircraft
models are in existence. EASA, the state of design, has also removed
these models from its TCDS. As a result, the FAA is removing these
models from the applicability.

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 issuing this AD after
evaluating all of the information provided by EASA and determining the
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
helicopters of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus Helicopters has issued Emergency Alert Service Bulletin No.
05.101, Revision 0, dated March 21, 2016, for Model SA330J helicopters
with certain T/R blades with and without a de-icing system installed.
This service information specifies procedures for a visual and in-depth
inspection of the T/R blades for skin debonding and an eddy current
inspection of the T/R blades for a crack using various crack detectors.
    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.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires within 30 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the
effective date of this AD or within 30 hours TIS after last inspecting
the T/R blades as required by paragraph (a) of AD 2000-22-19, whichever
occurs first, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 15 hours TIS
for blades with de-icing systems installed or 30 hours TIS for blades
without de-icing systems installed:
     Accomplishing a visual and in-depth inspection of each T/R
blade for debonding. If there is debonding within allowable limits,
this AD requires repairing or replacing the T/R blade before further
flight. If there is debonding that exceeds allowable limits, this AD
requires replacing the T/R blade before further flight.
     Eddy current inspecting each blade for a crack. If there
is a crack, this AD requires replacing the T/R blade before further
flight.
    This AD also prohibits installing an affected T/R blade on any
helicopter unless it passes the inspections required by this AD.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires returning a T/R blade with debonding that
exceeds allowable limits or a crack to Airbus Helicopters, whereas this
AD requires replacing the T/R blade instead.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment,
RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 15 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 AD.
    Inspecting the T/R blades for debonding takes about 0.75 work-hour
for an estimated cost of $64 per helicopter and $960 for the U.S.
fleet, per inspection cycle. Eddy current inspecting the T/R blades for
a crack takes about 1.75 work-hours for an estimated cost of $149 per
helicopter and $2,235 for the U.S. fleet, per inspection cycle.
    If required, replacing a T/R blade takes about 4 work-hours and
parts cost about $19,000, for an estimated cost of $19,340.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.)
authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment procedures for
rules when the agency, for ``good cause'' finds that those procedures
are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.''
Under this section, an agency, upon finding good cause, may issue a
final rule without seeking comment prior to the rulemaking.
    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because fatigue cracking in a T/R blade could lead to failure of a T/R
blade and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. This type of
fatigue cracking in a T/R blade could cause a pilot to perform an
emergency landing. Because these helicopters primarily conduct
operations over water or forested mountains, the FAA determined the
corrective action must be completed within 30 hours TIS, a time period
of up to approximately two months based on the average flight-hour
utilization rates of these helicopters. Therefore, notice and
opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable and contrary to
public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). In addition, for the
reasons stated above, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30
days.

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 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, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866, and
    2. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2008-N-0130]

Determination That RELAFEN (Nabumetone) Tablets and Three Other
Drug Products Were Not Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of Safety or
Effectiveness

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that the
four drug products listed in this document were not withdrawn from sale
for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination means that
FDA will not begin procedures to withdraw approval of abbreviated new
drug applications (ANDAs) that refer to the drug products, and it will
allow FDA to continue to approve ANDAs that refer to the products as
long as they meet relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Olivia A. Pritzlaff, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, rm. 6308, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-3601.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-417)
(the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate
versions of drug products approved under an ANDA procedure. ANDA
sponsors must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which
they are seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the
same strength and dosage form as the ``listed drug,'' which is a
version of the drug that was previously approved. Sponsors of ANDAs do
not have to repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary
to gain approval of a new drug application (NDA). The only clinical
data required in an ANDA are data to show that the drug that is the
subject of the ANDA is bioequivalent to the listed drug.
    The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)),
which requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA
publishes this list as part of the ``Approved Drug Products With
Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is generally known as the
``Orange Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs are withdrawn from the
list if the agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug's NDA or
ANDA for reasons of safety or effectiveness, or if FDA determines that
the listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or
effectiveness (21 CFR 314.162).
    Under Sec.  314.161(a) (21 CFR 314.161(a)), the agency must
determine whether a listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of
safety or effectiveness: (1) Before an ANDA that refers to that listed
drug may be approved or (2) whenever a listed drug is voluntarily
withdrawn from sale, and ANDAs that refer to the listed drug have been
approved. Section 314.161(d) provides that if FDA determines that a
listed drug was removed from sale for safety or effectiveness reasons,
the agency will initiate proceedings that could result in the
withdrawal of approval of the ANDAs that refer to the listed drug.
    FDA has become aware that the drug products listed in the table in
this document are no longer being marketed.

    FDA has reviewed its records and, under Sec.  314.161, has
determined that the drug products listed in this document were not
withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness.
Accordingly, the agency

will continue to list the drug products listed in this document in the
``Discontinued Drug Product List'' section of the Orange Book. The
``Discontinued Drug Product List'' identifies, among other items, drug
products that have been discontinued from marketing for reasons other
than safety or effectiveness.
    Approved ANDAs that refer to the NDAs listed in this document are
unaffected by the discontinued marketing of the products subject to
those NDAs. Additional ANDAs for the products may also be approved by
the agency if they comply with relevant legal and regulatory
requirements. If FDA determines that labeling for these drug products
should be revised to meet current standards, the agency will advise
ANDA applicants to submit such labeling.

    Dated: February 29, 2008.
Jeffrey Shuren,
Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
