[Docket No. FAA-2011-0731; Directorate Identifier 2010-NE-39-AD
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Corp. (PW) JT9D-7R4H1
Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
PW JT9D-7R4H1 turbofan engines. This proposed AD would require removing
certain high-pressure compressor (HPC) shafts before their certified
life limits, and establishes a new, lower life-limit for these parts.
This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracks in five HPC shafts.
We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 29, 2011.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2011-0731;
Directorate Identifier 2010-NE-39-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We received reports of five JT9D-7R4H1 engines containing an HPC
shaft with cracks in the thread grooves of the rear shaft. These
engines have the highest-thrust rating of the JT9D models, and were
operating in hot environments. Higher operating metal

temperatures impose a greater low-cycle fatigue life debit for each
operating cycle, requiring removing the affected shafts before reaching
their certified life limits. All of the cracked shafts were from the
same fleet and engine model. This condition, if not corrected, could
result in failure of the HPC shaft that could lead to an uncommanded
in-flight shutdown or a possible uncontained engine failure and damage
to the airplane.

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:
     For HPC shafts that have more than 4,500 cycles-since-new
(CSN) on the effective date of this AD, removing the HPC shaft from
service within 500 cycles-in-service (CIS) after the effective date of
this proposed AD or at the next shop visit after the effective date of
this proposed AD, whichever occurs first.
     For HPC shafts that have 4,500 or fewer CSN on the
effective date of this AD, removing the HPC shaft from service before
exceeding 5,000 CSN.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would not affect any engines
installed on airplanes of 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, 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

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2009-0561-200919; FRL-8965-8]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and
Designations of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; North
Carolina: Greensboro-Winston Salem-High Point; Determination of
Attaining Data for the 1997 Fine Particulate Matter Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to determine that the Greensboro-Winston
Salem-High Point, North Carolina, (hereafter referred to as
``Greensboro, North Carolina'') nonattainment area for the 1997 fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS) has attained the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. This
proposed determination is based upon complete, quality assured, quality
controlled, and certified ambient air monitoring data for the years
2006-2008 showing that this area has monitored attainment of the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS. In addition, monitoring data thus far
available, but not yet certified, in the EPA Air Quality System (AQS)
database for 2009 show that this area continues to meet the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS. If this proposed determination is made final,
the requirement for the State of North Carolina to submit an attainment
demonstration and associated reasonably available control measures
(RACM), a reasonable further progress (RFP) plan, contingency measures,
and other planning State Implementation Plans (SIPs) related to
attainment of the standard for the Greensboro, North Carolina,
PM2.5 nonattainment area, shall be suspended. This
requirement would remain suspended as long as this area continues to
meet the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What Action Is EPA Taking?
II. What Is the Effect of This Action?
III. What Is the Background for This Action?
IV. What Is EPA's Analysis of the Relevant Air Quality Data?
V. Proposed Action
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What Action Is EPA Taking?

    EPA is proposing to determine that the Greensboro, North Carolina,
PM2.5 nonattainment area has attained the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS. This determination is based upon complete,
quality assured, quality controlled, and certified ambient air
monitoring data for the years 2006-2008 showing that the area has
monitored attainment of the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. In addition,
monitoring data thus far available, but not yet certified, in the EPA
AQS database for 2009, show that this area continues to meet the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS.

II. What Is the Effect of This Action?

    If this determination is made final, under the provisions of EPA's
PM2.5 implementation rule (see 40 CFR 51.1004(c)), the
requirement for the State of North Carolina to submit an attainment
demonstration and associated RACM, RFP plan, contingency measures, and
any other planning SIPs related to attainment of the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS for the Greensboro, North Carolina,
PM2.5 nonattainment area, shall be suspended. This
requirement would remain suspended as long as this area continues to
meet the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.
    As further discussed below, the proposed determination for the
Greensboro, North Carolina, PM2.5 nonattainment area would:
(1) Suspend the requirement to submit an attainment demonstration and
associated RACM (including reasonably available control technologies),
RFP plan, contingency measures, and any other planning SIPs related to
attainment of the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS; (2) continue until such
time, if any, that EPA subsequently determines that the area has
violated the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS; (3) be separate from, and not
influence or otherwise affect, any future designation determination or
requirements for the Greensboro, North Carolina, area based on the 2006
PM2.5 NAAQS; and (4) remain in effect regardless of whether
EPA designates this area as a nonattainment area for purposes of the
2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. Furthermore, as described below, any such
final determination would not be equivalent to the redesignation of the
area to attainment based on the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.
    If this rulemaking is finalized and EPA subsequently determines,
after notice-and-comment rulemaking in the Federal Register, that the
area has violated the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS, the basis for the
suspension of the specific requirements, set forth at 40 CFR
51.1004(c), would no longer exist, and the area would thereafter have
to address pertinent requirements.
    The determination that EPA proposes with this Federal Register
notice is not equivalent to a redesignation of the area to attainment.
This proposed action, if finalized, would not constitute a
redesignation to attainment under section 107(d)(3) of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) because we would not yet have an approved maintenance plan
for the area as required under section 175A of the CAA nor a
determination that the area has met the other requirements for
redesignation. The designation status of the area would remain
nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS until such time as
EPA determines that it meets the CAA requirements for redesignation to
attainment.
    This proposed action, if finalized, is limited to a determination
that the Greensboro, North Carolina, PM2.5 nonattainment
area has attained the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. The 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS became effective on July 18, 1997 (62 FR 36852),
and are set forth at 40 CFR 50.7. The 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS,
which became effective on December 18, 2006 (71 FR 61144), are set
forth at 40 CFR 50.13. EPA is currently in the process of making
designation determinations, as required by CAA section 107(d)(1), for
the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA has not made any designation
determination for the Greensboro, North Carolina, area based on the
2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. This proposed determination, and any final
determination, will have no effect on, and is not related to, any
future designation determination that EPA may make based on the 2006
PM2.5 NAAQS for the Greensboro, North Carolina, area.
Conversely, any future designation determination of the Greensboro,
North Carolina, area, based on the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, will
not have any effect on the determination proposed by this notice.
    If this proposed determination is made final and the Greensboro,
North Carolina, area continues to demonstrate attainment with the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS, the requirement for the State of North Carolina
to submit for the Greensboro, North Carolina, PM2.5
nonattainment area an attainment demonstration and associated RACM, RFP
plan, contingency measures, and any other planning SIPs related to
attainment of the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS will remain suspended
regardless of whether EPA designates this area as a nonattainment area
for purposes of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. Once the area is
designated for the 2006 NAAQS, it will have to meet all applicable
requirements for that designation.

III. What Is the Background for This Action?

    On July 18, 1997 (62 FR 36852), EPA established a health-based
PM2.5 NAAQS at 15.0 micrograms per cubic meter ([mu]g/m\3\)
based on a 3-year average of annual mean PM2.5
concentrations, and a twenty-four hour standard of 65 [mu]g/m\3\ based
on a 3-year average of the 98th percentile of 24-hour concentrations.
EPA established the standards based on significant evidence and
numerous health studies demonstrating that serious health effects are
associated with exposure to particulate matter. The process for
designating areas following promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS is
contained in section 107(d)(1) of the CAA. EPA and State air quality
agencies initiated the monitoring process for the 1997 PM2.5
NAAQS in 1999 and began operating all air quality monitors by January
2001. On January 5, 2005, EPA published its air quality designations
and classifications for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS based upon air
quality monitoring data from those monitors for calendar years 2001-
2003 (70 FR 944). These designations became effective on April 5, 2005.
The Greensboro, North Carolina, area is comprised of Davidson County
and Guilford County, North Carolina, and was designated nonattainment
for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS (see 40 CFR part 81).

IV. What Is EPA's Analysis of the Relevant Air Quality Data?

    EPA has reviewed the ambient air monitoring data for
PM2.5, consistent with the requirements contained in 40 CFR
part 50, as recorded in the EPA AQS database for the Greensboro, North
Carolina, PM2.5 nonattainment area. On the basis of that
review, EPA has concluded that this area attained the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS during the 2006-2008 monitoring period. Under
EPA regulations at 40 CFR 50.7:
    (1) The annual primary and secondary PM2.5 standards are
met when the annual arithmetic mean concentration, as determined in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix N, is less than or equal to
15.0 [mu]g/m\3\.
    (2) The 24-hour primary and secondary PM2.5 standards
are met when the 98th percentile 24-hour concentration, as determined
in accordance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix N, is less than or equal to
65 [mu]g/m\3\.
    Table 1 shows the design values (the metrics calculated in
accordance with 40 CFR part 50, appendix N, for determining compliance
with the NAAQS) for the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS for the
Greensboro, North Carolina, nonattainment area monitors for the years
2006-2008. Table 2 shows the design values for the 1997 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS for these same monitors for the same 3-year
period.

    EPA's review of these data indicates that the Greensboro, North
Carolina, nonattainment area has met and continues to meet the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA is soliciting public comments on the issues
discussed in this document. These comments will be considered before
taking final action.

V. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to determine that the Greensboro, North Carolina,
nonattainment area for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS has attained the
1997 PM2.5 NAAQS based on 2006-2008 monitoring data. As
provided in 40 CFR 51.1004(c), if EPA finalizes this determination, it
will suspend the requirements for the State of North Carolina to submit
for this area an attainment demonstration and associated RACM, RFP
plan, contingency measures, and any other planning SIPs related to
attainment of the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS as long as the area
continues to attain the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action proposes to make a determination based on air quality
data, and would, if finalized, result in the suspension of certain
Federal requirements. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National

Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with
the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

    In addition, this rule does not have Tribal implications, as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law.

Discussion and follow-up items (with owner's name in bold):

SwRI testing update – Houshun

See slides sent previously by Houshun

Analyzing 12 regression models each for bsfc and fuel flow, using
various combinations of N/V, work, T, N for ISB and N13 engines on
parent and child ratings

Models using N and T terms so far have better correlations than N/V and
cycle work, and fuel flow might be better than bsfc

Most promising regression model will be built into ‘debug version’
of GEM

Half-hill cycle results – Erik

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31468; Amdt. No. 4044]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These
regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised
criteria,

or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such
as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new
obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are
designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight
rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective January 23, 2023. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of January 23, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Information Services, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
    For information on the availability of this material at NARA, email
[email protected] or go to: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center online at nfdc.faa.gov
to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedures
and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., STB Annex, Bldg. 26, Room 217,
Oklahoma City, OK 73099. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by amending
the referenced SIAPs. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP
is listed on the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National
Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20. The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the
need for a special format make their verbatim publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction
on charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the
advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and publication
of the complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form
documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections, and specifies the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with
their applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the
airport and its location, the procedure and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for Part 97
of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on criteria
contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures
(TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Form F-4 OMB Control No. 3235-0325, SEC File No. 270-288

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Form F-4 (17 CFR 239.34) is used by foreign issuers to register
securities in business combinations, reorganizations and exchange
offers pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.).
The information collected is intended to ensure that the information
required to be filed by the Commission permits verification of
compliance with securities law requirements and assures the public
availability of such information. Form F-4 takes approximately 1,457
hours per response and is filed by approximately 39 respondents. We
estimate that 25% of the 1,457 hours per response (364.25 hours) is
prepared by the registrant for a total annual reporting burden of
14,206 hours (364.25 hours per response x 39 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    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 control number.

    Please direct your written comment to Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

Assistant Secretary.
