14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-0394; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-252-AD;
Amendment 39-15457; AD 2008-08-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F.27 Mark 050 and F.28
Mark 0100 Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This 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 describes the unsafe condition as:

    Recently, a Fokker 100 (F28 Mark 0100) operator noted that the
electrical connectors of the PSUs (Passenger Service Units) did not
lock properly during installation in the aircraft. The PSU panels
installed in Fokker 50 (F27 Mark 050 and Mark 0502) aircraft are
similar to those installed in the Fokker 100. Investigation revealed
that the lack of locking is caused by the tolerance in thickness of
the gaskets (seals) inside the PSU connectors. This condition, if
not corrected, may cause the connector to overheat, leading to
electrical arcing and subsequent failure of the PSU Panels. In such
instances, smoke is likely to be emitted. * * *

We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 19, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 19, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on January 10, 2008 (73
FR 1848). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Recently, a Fokker 100 (F28 Mark 0100) operator noted that the
electrical connectors of the PSUs (Passenger Service Units) did not
lock properly during installation in the aircraft. The PSU panels
installed in Fokker 50 (F27 Mark 050 and Mark 0502) aircraft are
similar to those installed in the Fokker 100. Investigation revealed
that the lack of locking is caused by the tolerance in thickness of
the gaskets (seals) inside the PSU connectors. This condition, if
not corrected, may cause the connector to overheat, leading to
electrical arcing and subsequent failure of the PSU Panels. In such
instances, smoke is likely to be emitted. To remedy and prevent
these problems, the PSU manufacturer Honeywell International
Aerospace Electronic Systems (formerly known as Grimes Aerospace
Company), has narrowed the tolerances of these gaskets. Since an
unsafe condition has been identified that is likely to exist or
develop on aircraft of these type designs, this Airworthiness
Directive requires inspection [to verify if the J1/P1 and J2/P2
interface connectors can be properly locked and gaskets are present]
and, where necessary, replacement of the affected PSU Panel J1 and
J2 Interface Connector gaskets.

Corrective actions include installing a gasket, verifying that the J1
and J2 receptacle locking tabs are not deformed, replacing the
receptacle, and installing a new PSU panel. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

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

Correction to Quoted Material in the NPRM

    We have corrected two instances where we miscopied the references
to the PSU panels in the quoted material as I1 and I2, which should
have been J1 and J2.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described
previously. We determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 9 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 4 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $2,880, or $320 per
product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2008-08-05 Fokker Services B.V: Amendment 39-15457. Docket No. FAA-
2007-0394; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-252-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective May 19,
2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to the Fokker airplanes identified in
paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any
category.
    (1) Fokker Model F.27 Mark 050 airplanes, equipped with
Honeywell International (Grimes Aerospace) Passenger Service Units
(PSUs), part number 10-1178-XX series.
    (2) Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0100 airplanes, equipped with
Honeywell International (Grimes Aerospace) PSUs, part number 10-
1178-XX series or 10-1571-XX series, unless modified in accordance
with Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-25-070.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 25:
Equipment/Furnishings.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    Recently, a Fokker 100 (F28 Mark 0100) operator noted that the
electrical connectors of the PSUs (Passenger Service Units) did not
lock properly during installation in the aircraft. The PSU panels
installed in Fokker 50 (F27 Mark 050 and Mark 0502) aircraft are
similar to those installed in the Fokker 100. Investigation revealed
that the lack of locking is caused by the tolerance in thickness of
the gaskets (seals) inside the PSU connectors. This condition, if
not corrected, may cause the connector to overheat, leading to
electrical arcing and subsequent failure of the PSU Panels. In such
instances, smoke is likely to be emitted. To remedy and prevent
these problems, the PSU manufacturer Honeywell International
Aerospace Electronic Systems (formerly known as Grimes Aerospace
Company), has narrowed the tolerances of these gaskets. Since an
unsafe condition has been identified that is likely to exist or
develop on aircraft of these type designs, this Airworthiness
Directive requires inspection [to verify if the J1/P1 and J2/P2
interface connectors can be properly locked and gaskets are present]
and, when necessary, replacement of the affected PSU Panel J1 and J2
Interface Connector gaskets.

Corrective actions include installing a gasket, verifying that the
J1 and J2 receptacle locking tabs are not deformed, replacing the
receptacle, and installing a new PSU panel.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Within 36 months after the effective date of this AD unless
already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Inspect the affected Honeywell International (Grimes
Aerospace) PSU Panel Interface Connectors for proper locking of the
connectors and to verify that gaskets are installed, in accordance
with Part 3., ``Accomplishment Instructions,'' of Fokker Service
Bulletin SBF50-25-061 or SBF100-25-108, both dated March 31, 2006,
as applicable.
    (2) When discrepancies are found, before next flight, do all
applicable corrective actions as detailed in Part 3.,
``Accomplishment Instructions,'' of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF50-
25-061 or SBF100-25-108, both dated March 31, 2006, as applicable.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-76984; File No. SR-Phlx-2016-07]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to Make
Minor Changes to Rule 1064, Crossing, Facilitation and Solicited Orders

January 28, 2016.
    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 January 14, 2016, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to make minor changes to Rule 1064, Crossing,
Facilitation and Solicited Orders.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the filing is to improve the readability of Rule
1064 with a few minor changes. Rule 1064 is lengthy and covers several
complicated, related topics.
    First, the Exchange proposes to add headings to certain paragraphs
to make it easier to locate each of the following topics: Crossing,\3\
Anticipatory Hedging \4\ and Floor Qualified Contingent Cross.\5\
Paragraph (b), Facilitation Orders and paragraph (c), Solicited Orders,
already have headings so headings would now run consistently throughout
the rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Rule 1064(a).
    \4\ Rule 1064(d).
    \5\ Rule 1064(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, the Exchange also proposes to move the language from two
commentaries into the body of the rule, also to improve readability.
Specifically, the language in Commentary .03 is being moved to become
the new Rule 1064(a)(iv), because it relates to crossing orders, which
is covered in paragraph (a). Also, the language in Commentary .04 is
being moved to become the new Rule 1064(d)(iii), which is related to
the anticipatory hedging provisions currently in paragraph (d).
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \7\ in particular, in that it is designed to protect
investors and the public interest by improving the readability of a
lengthy and complicated rule. The Exchange believes that the proposed
headings and merging of commentary language into the main body of the
rule should prevent confusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Because the proposal merely
reorganizes a rule, it has no impact on either inter-market or intra-
market competition.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    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)(iii) of the Act \8\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(a)(iii).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL9675-2]

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): Withdrawal of Nine Total Maximum
Daily Loads (TMDLs)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Withdrawal of Nine TMDLs.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA hereby withdraws nine final Total Maximum Daily Loads
(TMDLs) for Chloride, Sulfate, and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) for the
Bayou de L'Outre Watershed in Arkansas. The EPA withdraws the Bayou de
L'Outre TMDLs due to the discovery of inconsistencies in the values
used to derive the flow and load duration curves, resulting in the
calculation of TMDLs which do not accurately reflect the loading
capacity of the segments. This action does not affect seven other final
TMDLs published under the same Federal Register notice (see 76 FR
52947) which pertain to segments 08040203-010, 08040204-006, and
08040206-015, -016, -716, -816, -916. The Agency hereby withdraws the

[Docket No. USCG-2014-0213]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Coquille River, Bandon, OR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing the operating schedule that
governs the U.S. 101 highway drawbridge also known as Bullard's
Drawbridge, near Bandon, Oregon. The change will allow the drawbridge
to permanently remain in the closed-to-navigation position, no longer
opening for vessel traffic. While there is vessel traffic on this
waterway, no one has requested a drawbridge opening since 1998. Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT) owns the bridge and requested to
update the operating schedule accordingly.

DATES: This rule is effective May 18, 2015.

ADDRESSES:  Documents mentioned in this preamble are part of docket
USCG-2014-0213. To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being

U.S.C. United States Code

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On December 22, 2014, the Coast Guard published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation;
Coquille River, Coos Bay, OR'' in the Federal Register (79 FR 76249).
We received four comments on the proposed rule but these comments did
not address the substance of this rulemaking. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    ODOT owns and operates the US 101 Highway Bridge also known as
Bullard's Drawbridge on the Coquille River in Bandon, Oregon. ODOT
requested that the drawbridge regulation be amended to allow the bridge
to remain in the permanently closed-to-navigation position. ODOT
provided the Coast Guard with bridge logs which indicated no request
for bridge openings have been received since 1998.
    The Coast Guard believes this rule change is reasonable, and will
continue to meet the present and future needs of navigation. Based on
the records provided by ODOT to the Coast Guard, it is expected that
the new rule will have no known impact to navigation or other waterway
users.
    US 101 Highway Bridge, in the closed-to-navigation position,
provides 28.1 feet of vertical clearance at mean high water and 35 feet
at low water.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The operating regulations at 33 CFR 117.875 will change the
operation of the US 101 Highway Bridge, also known as Bullard's
Drawbridge, on the Coquille River in Bandon, Oregon such that it will
not be required to open for marine traffic at any time. The change was
requested by ODOT, the owner of the bridge, because there have not been
any request to open for marine traffic since 1998.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under those Orders. The Coast Guard bases this
finding on the fact that the bridge has remained in the closed position
for the last 16 years without any impacts to waterway users.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. The Coast Guard received no
comments on the NPRM for this rule and there is no indication that any
small entities will be affected by this rule since the bridge has
remained in the closed position for the last 16 years without any
impacts to waterway users.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the ``For Further
Information Contact'' section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of

their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act
addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local,
or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one year. Though
this rule will not result in such expenditure, we do discuss the
effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule would not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule simply promulgates the operating regulations or
procedures for drawbridges. This rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117
