SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-58117; File No. SR-CBOE-2008-69]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change Relating to an Extension of the Linkage Fee Pilot Program

July 8, 2008.
    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 30, 2008, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``CBOE'' or ``Exchange'') 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
substantially by CBOE. 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

    CBOE proposes to amend its Fees Schedule to extend through July 31,
2009 the Options Intermarket Linkage (``Linkage'') fees pilot program.
The text of the proposed rule change is available at http://
www.cboe.org/legal, the Exchange, and 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, CBOE 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 Exchange's fees for Principal (``P'') and Principal Acting as
Agent (``P/A'') orders \3\ are operating under a pilot program
scheduled to expire on July 31, 2008.\4\ The Exchange proposes to amend
its Fees Schedule to extend the pilot program until July 31, 2009. The
Exchange is proposing no other changes to the operation of the pilot
program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Under the Plan for the Purpose of Creating and Operating an
Options Intermarket Linkage (``Plan'') and Exchange Rule 6.80(12),
which tracks the language of the Plan, a ``Linkage Order'' means an
Immediate or Cancel Order routed through the Linkage as permitted
under the Plan. There are three types of Linkage Orders: (i) ``P/A
Order'', which is an order for the principal account of a specialist
(or equivalent entity on another Participant Exchange that is
authorized to represent Public Customer orders), reflecting the
terms of a related unexecuted Public Customer order for which the
specialist is acting as agent; (ii) ``P Order'', which is an order
for the principal account of an Eligible Market Maker and is not a
P/A Order; and (iii) ``Satisfaction Order,'' which is an order sent
through the Linkage to notify a member of another Participant
Exchange of a Trade-Through and to seek satisfaction of the
liability arising from that Trade-Through.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56132 (July 25,
2007), 72 FR 42158 (August 1, 2007) (SR-CBOE-2007-71).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange assesses its members the following Linkage order
related fees: (i) $.30 per contract transaction fee, and (ii) $.10 per
contract surcharge fee on transactions in options on the Nasdaq-100
Index (MNX and NDX) and options on the Russell 2000 Index (RUT).\5\
Satisfaction orders are not assessed Exchange fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Footnote 14. Surcharge fees are also
assessed on OEX, XEO, SPX, volatility index options, DJX and DXL
options; however, Linkage fees do not apply to these products as
they are not multiply listed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that extension of the Linkage fee pilot
program until July 31, 2009 will give the Commission further
opportunity to evaluate the appropriateness of Linkage fees.
    The Exchange also proposes to amend Section 21 of the Fees Schedule
to change the Linkage fees pilot expiration date included in that
section to July 31, 2009, thereby extending the term of the DPM Linkage
Fees Credit program for PA orders.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) \7\ of the Act in particular, in that it is designed to
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among CBOE members and other persons using its
facilities. The Exchange believes that extension of the Linkage fee
pilot program until July 31, 2009 will give the Commission further
opportunity to evaluate the appropriateness of Linkage fees.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of 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 solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
    (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest;
    (ii) Impose any significant burden on competition; and
    (iii) Become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was
filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\

    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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2017-1163; Product Identifier 2017-CE-041-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Models G-IV and GIV-X
airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by the potential for fatigue
cracks developing in the main landing gear actuator attachment fitting
that had a certain repair incorporated. This proposed AD would require
incorporating new revisions into the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness of the Limitations section of the FAA-approved
maintenance program (e.g., maintenance manual) that establish an
inspection cycle for the repaired MLG side brace actuator fittings. We
are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 26,
2018.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    We were notified that fatigue cracking in the main landing gear
(MLG) actuator attachment fitting could occur on certain Gulfstream
Aerospace Corporation (Gulfstream) Models G-IV and GIV-X airplanes that
are Maintenance Steering Group ``MSG-3'' compliant and have had repair
SE05732102 incorporated.
    It has been determined that incorrect fracture toughness was used
in calculating repetitive inspection intervals based on damage
tolerances. Repair SE05732102 for the MLG side brace fitting was issued
without Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA). Gulfstream has
developed new ICA to address this issue.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in failure of the
MLG actuator attachment, which could compromise the lateral support of
the MLG during ground maneuvers, possibly leading to collapse of the
affected MLG with consequent loss of control. In addition, this
condition could also cause the MLG side brace to fail, which could
result in penetration of the wing fuel tank and cause an uncontained
fire.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Gulfstream G350 Customer Bulletin Number 192A, dated
June 15, 2017, including Appendix A, Gulfstream Document GIV-SGER-553,

incorporated and determining initial and repetitive inspection
requirements for the main landing gear side brace fitting. 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

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 709 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to small airplanes and domestic business jet transport airplanes to the
Director of the Policy and Innovation Division.

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation: Docket No. FAA-2017-1163; Product
Identifier 2017-CE-041-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by January 26, 2018.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to the following Gulfstream Aerospace
Corporation model airplanes that are certificated in any category:
    (1) Model G-IV, serial numbers (S/Ns) 1000 through 1399 having

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association
(ATA) of America Code 32, Landing Gear.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the potential for fatigue cracks in the
main landing gear (MLG) actuator attachment fitting that had a
certain repair incorporated. We are issuing this AD to prevent
failure of the MLG actuator attachment. The unsafe condition, if not

corrected, could compromise the lateral support of the MLG during
ground maneuvers, possibly leading to collapse of the affected MLG
with consequent loss of control. In addition, this condition could
also cause the MLG side brace to fail, which could result in a
penetration of the wing fuel tank causing an uncontained fire.

(f) Compliance

    Within the next 100 hours time-in-service after the effective
date of this AD, comply with the actions in paragraphs (g) through
(i) of this AD, unless already done.

Gulfstream G300 Customer Bulletin Number 238A; and Gulfstream G400
Customer Bulletin Number 238A; all dated June 15, 2017, as
applicable. The service information referenced in this paragraph
specifies sending a service reply card back to Gulfstream Aerospace
Corporation if repair SE05732102 for the MLG side brace fitting has
been not been incorporated. This action is not required in this AD.

(h) Determine Initial and Repetitive Inspection Requirements

    If it is determined during the maintenance records inspection
required in paragraph (g) of this AD that repair SE05732102 for the
MLG side brace fitting has been incorporated, determine the initial
and repetitive inspection requirements using the Accomplishment
Instructions of the service information identified in paragraph (g)
of this AD along with the following documents, as applicable. Comply
with the inspection requirements as determined.

as Required for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs (g)
through (i) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. An AMOC is required for any deviations to RC steps,
including substeps and identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-21-
03, which applied to Airbus Helicopters Model AS332L2 helicopters with
a certain yaw control damper support (support) installed. AD 2014-21-03
required repetitively inspecting the support attachment points for a
crack. Since the FAA issued AD 2014-21-03, an improved (reinforced)
support was developed. This AD retains the inspection requirements of
AD 2014-21-03 and requires installing the improved support as specified
in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is
incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 1, 2022.

    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document listed in this AD as of March 1, 2022.
    The FAA must receive comments on this AD by March 31, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2014-21-03, Amendment 39-17995 (79 FR 63809,
October 27, 2014) (AD 2014-21-03), for Airbus Helicopters Model AS332L2
helicopters with a support part number (P/N) 332A25-1334-00 installed.
AD 2014-21-03 required for helicopters with 3,900 hours time-in-service
(TIS) or more, within 100 hours TIS and thereafter at intervals not
exceeding 825 hours TIS, inspecting each support at the four attachment
points for a crack. If there is a crack, AD 2014-21-03 required
replacing the support before further flight. AD 2014-21-03 was prompted
by EASA AD 2014-0080, dated March 27, 2014 (EASA AD 2014-0080), issued
by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters,
formerly Eurocopter, Eurocopter France, Aerospatiale, Model AS332L2
helicopters with support P/N 332A25-1334-00 installed. EASA advised of
several reports of cracks on the two front attachment points of the
support, and that subsequent investigations determined pilot actions on
the yaw pedals could generate detrimental loading conditions on the
support attachment points and initiate a crack. This condition, if not
addressed could lead to structural failure of the support, detachment
of the damper unit, possible blocking of the yaw flight control
channel, and reduced control of the helicopter. Accordingly, EASA AD
2014-0080 required repetitive inspections of the support and, if there
is a crack, replacing the support.

Actions Since AD 2014-21-03 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2014-21-03 Airbus Helicopters developed an
improved support with improved fatigue and load carrying capabilities
and issued service information that provides instructions for modifying
the support.
    Accordingly, EASA issued AD 2021-0086, dated March 24, 2021 (EASA
AD 2021-0086), which superseded EASA AD 2014-0080. EASA AD 2021-0086
retains the inspection requirements of EASA AD 2014-0080 and requires
replacement of any affected part with a serviceable part. EASA AD 2014-
0086 also expands the applicability to include all Model AS332L2
helicopters. See EASA AD 2021-0086 for additional background
information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0086 specifies procedures for repetitively inspecting
the support at the four attachment points in accordance with the
instructions of the service information. EASA AD 2021-0086 also
specifies procedures for modifying the helicopter by replacing an
affected part with an improved part, which is a terminating action for
the repetitive inspections. EASA AD 2021-0086 prohibits installing any
affected part on any helicopter.
    This material 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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No.
AS332-05.00.98, Revision 1, dated February 10, 2021 (ASB AS332-05.00.98
Rev 1), which specifies procedures to inspect for cracks on the support
at the four attachments of the yaw damper. ASB AS332-05.00.98 Rev 1
specifies if any crack is found, replace the support by modifying your
helicopter in accordance with the modification service bulletin.
    The FAA also reviewed Airbus Helicopters Service Bulletin SB No.
AS332-67.00.52, Revision 0, dated March 2, 2020, which specifies
procedures to modify your helicopter by replacing the support with a
new improved support (modification 0728207).

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 known relevant information and determining that the
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on
other helicopters of these same type designs.

Explanation of Retained Requirements

    Although this AD does not explicitly restate the requirements of AD
2014-21-03, this AD retains certain requirements of AD 2014-21-03.
Those requirements are referenced in EASA AD 2021-0086, which in turn,
is referenced in paragraph (g) of this AD.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2021-0086, described previously, as incorporated by reference, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this AD and except as discussed under ``Differences Between this AD and
EASA AD 2021-0086.''

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use certain civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result,
EASA AD 2021-0086 is incorporated by reference in this AD. This AD
therefore, requires compliance with EASA AD 2021-0086 in its entirety,
through that incorporation, except for any differences identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that
are the same as the heading of a particular section in EASA AD 2021-
0086 does not mean that operators need comply only with that section.
For example, where the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions
and compliance times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not
limited to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance
Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2021-0086. Service information specified in EASA
AD 2021-0086 that is required for compliance with it will be available
at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2022-0019 after the FAA final rule is published.

Differences Between This AD and EASA AD 2021-0086

    Where Note 1 of EASA AD 2021-0086 identifies the flight hours (FH)
specified in Table 1 of EASA AD 2021-0086 are those accumulated by the
affected part on April 3, 2014 (the effective date of EASA AD 2014-
0080), since first installation on a helicopter, this AD requires using
the total hours TIS accumulated by the helicopter as of the effective
date of this AD. Where Table 1 of EASA AD 2021-0086 requires a
compliance time of within 100 FH after April 3, 2014, this AD requires
a compliance time of within 100 hours TIS after the effective date of
this AD. Where paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2021-0086 allows credit for
inspections of a helicopter as required in paragraph (1) of its AD if
the inspections are accomplished before the effective date of its AD,
this AD allows credit for the initial inspection of a helicopter as
required by paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2021-0086, if accomplished before
the effective date of this AD.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) 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 providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    There are currently no domestic operators of these products.
Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
unnecessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). In addition, for the
foregoing reasons, 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.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-0019; Project Identifier MCAI-
2021-00371-R'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this final rule because of those comments.
    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 post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.

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 AD 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 AD, 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 AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to: Hal
Jensen, Aerospace Engineer, Operational Safety Branch, Compliance &
Airworthiness Division, FAA, 950 L'Enfant Plaza N SW, Washington, DC
20024; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email [email protected]. Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

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 prior notice and
comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    There are no costs of compliance with this AD because there are no
helicopters with these type certificates on the U.S. Registry.

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

    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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Section 61.113(a) of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
states that no person who holds a private pilot certificate may act as
pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property
for compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or
hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft.
    Section 61.113(c) states that, for any flight carrying passengers,
a private pilot may not pay less than the pro rata share of the
operating expenses (fuel oil, airport expenditures, or rental fees).
This prohibition means that a private pilot can pay more, but not less,
of these expenses when split equally among all the people aboard the
aircraft. Private pilot certificates are considered to be an entry-
level pilot's license, and the purpose of this regulation is to limit
the operations of private pilots commensurate to their certification
level. Pilots wishing to pay less than their pro rata share (or fly for
hire) must obtain a commercial pilot certificate, which has higher
certification requirements and may be required to comply with
additional operating requirements.
    Some pilots and other individuals have recognized a need to provide
transportation services for conveyance of people needing non-emergency
medical treatment. Section 821 of Public Law 112-95, requires, with
certain limitations, that the FAA allow an aircraft owner or operator
to accept reimbursement from a volunteer pilot organization for the
fuel costs associated with a flight operation to provide transportation
for an individual or organ for medical purposes (and for other
associated individuals).
    Volunteer pilot organizations have petitioned the FAA for exemption
from the requirements of Sec.  61.113(c) so that their pilots can be
reimbursed for some or all of the expenses they incur while flying
these flights. To allow compensation for expenses for the
transportation of individuals, these private pilots are participating
in an activity that would otherwise be prohibited by Sec.  61.113(c).
    The FAA has determined this activity can be conducted safely with
limits applied to the organizations, pilots, and aircraft. Beginning in
2010, the FAA issued several exemptions to charitable medical flight
organizations granting relief from the requirements of Sec.  61.113(c).
The exemptions contain conditions and limitations that are intended to
raise the level of safety for these flights. These conditions and
limitations include:
    1. Developing of a pilot qualification and training program;
    2. Authenticating pilots' FAA certification;
    3. Requiring flight release documentation;
    4. Imposing minimum pilot qualifications (flight hours, recency of
experience, etc.);
    5. Requiring a 2nd class FAA medical certificate;
    6. Requiring the filing of an instrument flight plan for each
flight;
    7. Restricting pilots to flight and duty time limitations;
    8. Requiring mandatory briefings for passengers;
    9. Imposing higher aircraft airworthiness requirements; and
    10. Requiring higher instrument flight rules (IFR) minimums.

The FAA recognizes the practical implications and benefits from this
type of charity flying and will continue to issue exemptions for
flights described

by Section 821 of Public Law 112-95. The FAA will continuously update
these conditions and limitations as necessary to best ensure these
operations meet this equivalent level of safety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Before a Federal agency can collect certain
information from the public, it must receive approval from the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB). In compliance with these requirements,
this notice announces that the following information collection request
has been forwarded to OMB. In the October 29, 2015 Federal Register

proposed collection of information. We received zero comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 80 FR 24314 (April 30, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OMB Control Number: To be issued at time of approval.
    Title: Heavy Vehicle Collision Warning Interfaces.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Abstract: Crash warning systems (CWSs) for commercial motor
vehicles have been available for more than 20 years. CWSs can include
features such as forward collision and lane departure warnings and use
a variety of sensor technologies (e.g., radar) to determine the crash
risk of a collision. CWSs are designed to warn the driver to take
action to avoid or mitigate a potential crash.
    CWSs are available as both options from OEMs and as aftermarket/
retrofit devices. While there are certain similarities between
offerings within a particular CWS product class (e.g., forward
collision warning (FCW)), there are also differences in how suppliers
present collision warnings, including the design of visual displays and
auditory alerts. Typically, suppliers will use a combination of visual
and audio modalities to convey a potential crash situation to the
driver. However, their implementations vary across factors such as the
visual interface, auditory alert, and the salience of alerts. While CWS
implementations change and evolve, it is likely that certain warning
interfaces are more effective than others during crash-imminent
situations. This research seeks to examine the impact of CWSs as they
pertain to commercial motor vehicle safety. The primary goal of this
effort is to evaluate CWSs and assess the effectiveness of these
driver-vehicle interfaces for heavy trucks and motorcoaches.
    Respondents: Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee
drivers with a valid Class A commercial driver license.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: It is estimated that up to 60
Class A CDL drivers will participate; however, it is estimated that up
to 100 Class A CDL drivers will complete the eligibility questionnaire
in order to obtain 60 Class A CDL drivers that meet the criteria to
participate.
    Estimated Time per Response: Completion of the eligibility
questionnaire is expected to take 10 minutes while the demographics
questionnaire is expected to take two minutes. The mid-study
questionnaires 10 minutes total and the post study questionnaire will
take 15 minutes.
    Total Estimated Burden: 37 minutes per respondent (44 hours total).
    Frequency of Collection: Onetime for the eligibility, post study,
and demographic questionnaire; three times for the mid study
questionnaire.
    NHTSA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

[Docket No. FAA-2022-0452; Project Identifier MCAI-2021-01356-A]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A (Piaggio) Model P-180
airplanes. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as
accumulation of water and subsequent freezing in the pitot-tube, which
results in pitot-tube blockage. This proposed AD would require
modifying the total air temperature (TAT) probe heater electrical
circuit and revising your existing airplane flight manual (AFM). The
FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 26,
2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM 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 NPRM, 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 NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Mike
Kiesov, Aviation Safety Engineer, General Aviation & Rotorcraft
Section, International Validation Branch, FAA, 901 Locust, Room 301,
Kansas City, MO 64106. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is
not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket
for this rulemaking.

Background

    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued
EASA AD 2019-0144, dated June 19, 2019 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to address an unsafe condition on all Piaggio Model P.180
Avanti and Avanti II airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Occurrences of pitot-tube blockage were reported, leading to in-
flight air data loss. Investigation results indicated that
accumulation of water and subsequent freezing was the failure cause.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to unreliable
indication or loss of in-flight air data provided by systems
deriving their data from measuring air pressure, possibly resulting
in loss of control of the aeroplane.
    To address this potentially unsafe condition, Piaggio issued the
applicable AFM TC [Piaggio Aviation P.180 AVANTI II/EVO Temporary
Change 79, dated September 17, 2018; and Piaggio Aviation P.180
AVANTI Temporary Change No. 36 and No. 79], providing instructions
to switch on pitot-tube heater before taxi if operation in heavy
rain, snow or icing condition is expected. To prevent concurrent
activation of TAT probe heater on ground, which could lead to
temporary air data indications failure, Piaggio issued the
applicable SBs [Piaggio Service Bulletin No. 80-0430 Revision 1 and
Piaggio Service Bulletin No. 80-0457, original issue], providing
modification instructions to inhibit on-ground power supply to TAT
probe heater, when the pitot-tube heater is activated.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
amendment of the applicable AFM and, for certain aeroplanes,
modification of the TAT probe heater electrical circuit.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2022-
0452.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Piaggio Aviation S.p.A. Service Bulletin No. 80-
0430, Revision 1, dated April 30, 2019; and Piaggio Aero Industries
S.p.A. Service Bulletin No. 80-0457, Revision 1, dated February 12,
2020. These service bulletins specify procedures for modifying the TAT
heater circuit in order to inhibit its engagement on the ground when
the pitot heater is turned on. These documents are distinct because
they apply to airplanes in different configurations.
    The FAA reviewed Piaggio Aviation P.180 AVANTI II/EVO Temporary
Change No. 79, dated September 17, 2018. Temporary Change (TC) 79
revises the Limitations and Normal Procedures sections of the existing
AFM to include updated procedures for airplane operation when the
modification for inhibition of the TAT heater (on ground) has been
installed.
    The FAA also reviewed Piaggio Aviation P.180 AVANTI Temporary
Change No. 36, dated April 11, 2019. TC 36 revises the Emergency and
Normal Procedures sections of the existing AFM to include additional
procedures to avoid air data computer (ADC) failure due to water
trapped and frozen in pitot lines.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Piaggio Aero Industries Service Bulletin No. 80-
0454, Revision 0, dated March 6, 2017; Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A.
Service Bulletin No. 80-0425, Revision 0, dated May 30, 2017; and
Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Service Bulletin No. 80-0425, Revision
2, dated June 4, 2018. This service information specifies procedures
for replacing the Messier-Dowty nose and main landing gear and steering
system with a Magnaghi nose and main landing gear and Eaton steering
system.
    The FAA also reviewed Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Service
Bulletin No. 80-0430, Revision 0, dated August 10, 2017. This service
information specifies procedures for modifying the TAT heater circuit
in order to inhibit its engagement on the ground when the pitot heater
is turned on.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM
after determining the unsafe condition described previously is likely
to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI

    The MCAI requires informing all flight crews of the AFM revisions
and operating accordingly thereafter, and this proposed AD would not
because those actions are already required by FAA operating
regulations.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 101 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would 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:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13   [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A: Docket No. FAA-2022-0452; Project
Identifier MCAI-2021-01356-A.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by May 26, 2022.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A Model P-180
airplanes, all serial numbers (S/Ns), certificated in any category.

 (d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 3411, Pitot/Static
System.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as accumulation of
water and subsequent freezing in the pitot-tube. The FAA is issuing
this AD to prevent blockage of the pitot-tube. The unsafe condition,
if not addressed, could result in temporary air data indications
failure, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Required Actions

    (1) For all airplanes: Within 30 days after the effective date
of this AD, revise the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) for
your airplane by adding into the Emergency Procedures and Normal
Procedures sections the information in Piaggio Aviation P.180 AVANTI
Temporary Change No. 36, dated April 11, 2019; or by incorporating
into the Limitations and Normal Procedures sections the information
in Piaggio Aviation P.180 Avanti II/EVO Temporary Change No. 79,
dated September 17, 2018; as applicable to your airplane S/N. Using
a different document with language identical to that in Piaggio
Aviation P.180 AVANTI Temporary Change No. 36, dated April 11, 2019;
or Piaggio Aviation P.180 Avanti II/EVO Temporary Change No. 79,
dated September 17, 2018, is acceptable for compliance with this
requirement.
    (2) For airplanes identified in paragraph (g)(2)(i) and (ii) of
this AD: Within 660 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective
date of this AD or 24 months after the effective date of this AD,
whichever occurs first, modify the total air temperature (TAT) probe
heater electrical circuit by following the Accomplishment
Instructions, paragraphs (6) through (27), in Piaggio Aero
Industries S.p.A. Service Bulletin No. 80-0457, Revision 1, dated
February 12, 2020.
    (i) S/N 1105, if Piaggio Aero Industries Service Bulletin No.
80-0454, Revision 0, dated March 6, 2017, is not incorporated; and
    (ii) S/Ns 1106 through 1234 inclusive, if Piaggio Aero
Industries S.p.A. Service Bulletin No. 80-0425, Revision 2, dated
June 4, 2018, is not incorporated.
    (3) For airplanes identified in paragraphs (g)(3)(i) through
(iii) of this AD: Within 660 hours TIS after the effective date of
this AD or 24 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever
occurs first, modify the TAT probe heater electrical circuit by
following the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs (6) through
(21), in Piaggio Aviation S.p.A. Service Bulletin No. 80-0430,
Revision 1, dated April 30, 2019.
    (i) S/Ns 1002, 3001, 3003, 3004, 3006, and 3007;
    (ii) S/N 1105, if Piaggio Aero Industries Service Bulletin No.
80-0454, Revision 0, dated March 6, 2017, is incorporated; and
    (iii) S/Ns 1106 through 1234 inclusive, if Piaggio Aero
Industries S.p.A. Service Bulletin No. 80-0425, Revision 2, dated
June 4, 2018, is incorporated.

(h) Credit for Previous Actions

    This paragraph provides credit for the modification required by
paragraph (g)(3) of this AD, if the modification was done before the
effective date of this AD using Piaggio Aviation Service Bulletin
No. 80-0430, Revision 0, dated August 10, 2017.

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
