SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-087, OMB Control No. 3235-0078]

Submission for OMB review; 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:
    Rule 15c3-3

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule
15c3-3 (17 CFR 240.15c3-3), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Furthermore, notice is given regarding new
collections of information that were previously proposed in Rule 18a-4
(OMB No. 3235-0700) and that are being moved to this Rule 15c3-3 (OMB
No. 3235-0078) based on comments received during the rulemaking
process.
    With respect to the extension of the previously approved collection
of information, Rule 15c3-3 requires that a broker-dealer that holds
customer securities obtain and maintain possession and control of
fully-paid and excess margin securities they hold for

customers. In addition, the Rule requires that a broker-dealer that
holds customer funds make either a weekly or monthly computation to
determine whether certain customer funds need to be segregated in a
special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of the firm's
customers. It also requires that a broker-dealer maintain a written
notification from each bank where a Special Reserve Bank Account is
held acknowledging that all assets in the account are for the exclusive
benefit of the broker-dealer's customers, and to provide written
notification to the Commission (and its designated examining authority)
under certain, specified circumstances. Finally, broker-dealers that
sell securities futures products (``SFP'') to customers must provide
certain notifications to customers and make a record of any changes of
account type.
    A broker-dealer required to maintain the Special Reserve Bank
Account prescribed by Rule 15c3-3 must obtain and retain a written
notification from each bank in which it has a Special Reserve Bank
Account to evidence the bank's acknowledgement that assets deposited in
the Account are being held by the bank for the exclusive benefit of the
broker-dealer's customers. In addition, a broker-dealer must
immediately notify the Commission and its designated examining
authority if it fails to make a required deposit to its Special Reserve
Bank Account. Finally, a broker-dealer that effects transactions in
SFPs for customers will also have paperwork burdens to make a record of
each change in account type.
    The Commission staff estimates a total annual time burden of
approximately 625,490 hours and a total annual cost burden of
approximately $1,440,513 to comply with the existing information
collection requirements of the rule.
    With respect to the new collections of information, in 2019, the
Commission adopted amendments to establish segregation and notice
requirements for broker-dealers with respect to their security-based
swap activity. The Commission staff estimates a total annual time
burden of approximately 96,601 hours and a total annual cost burden of
approximately $65,334 to comply with the new information collection
requirements of the rule.
    The Commission staff thus estimates that the aggregate annual
information collection burden associated with Rule 15c3-3 is
approximately 722,091 hours and $1,505,847.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website, www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom,
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-16-
08, which applies to all The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B,
747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, and 747SR
series airplanes. AD 2007-16-08 currently requires repetitive
inspections for cracking of the station 800 frame assembly, and repair
if necessary. Since we issued AD 2007-16-08, we have received
additional reports of cracks found at the forward and aft inner chord
strap and angles on the station 800 frame on the left-side and right-
side main entry doors. This proposed AD would expand the inspection
area. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracks
that could extend and fully sever the frame, which could result in
development of skin cracks that could lead to rapid depressurization of
the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 14, 2015.

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

Discussion

    On July 30, 2007, we issued AD 2007-16-08, Amendment 39-15147 (72
FR 44728, August 9, 2007), for all The Boeing Company Model 747-100,
747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D,
and 747SR series airplanes. AD 2007-16-08 requires repetitive
inspections for cracking of the station 800 frame assembly, and repair
if necessary. AD 2007-16-08 resulted from several reports of cracks of
the station 800 frame assembly on airplanes that occurred sooner than
previously anticipated. We issued AD 2007-16-08 to detect and correct
fatigue cracks that could extend and fully sever the frame, which could
result in development of skin cracks that could lead to rapid
depressurization of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2007-16-08, Amendment 39-15147 (72 FR 44728, August 9,
2007), Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2007-16-08, Amendment 39-15147 (72 FR 44728,
August 9, 2007), we received additional reports of cracking found at
the forward and aft inner chord strap and angles on the station 800
frame on the left-side and right-side main entry doors. These cracks
are outside the inspection area of AD 2007-16-08. We have determined
that additional inspections are needed. This proposed AD would expand
the inspection area to include the station 800 frame between stringer
18 and stringer 30.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2451, Revision 2,
dated June 13, 2014. The service information describes procedure for
inspecting and repairing cracking of the door number 2 forward edge
frame assembly at body station 800. Refer to this service information
for information on the procedures and compliance times. This service
information is reasonably available; see ADDRESSES for ways to access
this service information.

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

    Although this proposed AD does not explicitly restate the
requirements of AD 2007-16-08, Amendment 39-15147 (72 FR 44728, August
9, 2007), this proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD
2007-16-08. Those requirements are referenced in the service
information identified previously, which, in turn, is referenced in
paragraphs (g) and (h) of this proposed AD. This proposed AD would
require additional inspections. This proposed AD would require
accomplishing the actions specified in the service information
described previously, except as discussed under ``Differences Between
this Proposed AD and the Service Information.''

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2451, Revision 2, dated
June 13, 2014, specifies to contact the manufacturer for instructions
on how to repair certain conditions, this proposed AD would require
repairing those conditions in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 124 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.
             Action                     Labor cost          Parts cost     Cost per product        operators

                                  $85 per hour = $4,505                    inspection cycle.   inspection cycle
                                  per inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in 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.

Regulatory Findings

    We have 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 that the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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

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 removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2007-16-08, Amendment 39-15147 (72 FR 44728, August 9, 2007), and
adding the following new AD:

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2015-0498; Directorate Identifier
2014-NM-152-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by May 14, 2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2007-16-08, Amendment 39-15147 (72 FR 44728,
August 9, 2007).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B
SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, and 747SR
series airplanes, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53, Fuselage.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found on the station
800 frame on the left-side and right-side main entry doors (MED), at
the forward and aft inner chord strap and angles, which are outside
the inspection area of AD 2007-16-08, Amendment 39-15147 (72 FR
44728, August 9, 2007). We are issuing this AD to detect and correct
fatigue cracks that could extend and fully sever the frame, which
could result in development of skin cracks that could lead to rapid
depressurization of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Inspections of Station 800 Frame Assembly Between Stringer 14 and
Stringer 30

    Except as required by paragraph (i) of this AD, at the
applicable time specified in paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2451, Revision 2, dated June
13, 2014: Do a detailed inspection for cracking in the inner chord
strap, angles, and exposed web adjacent to the inner chords, and do
surface and open hole high-frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections
for cracking in the inner chord strap and angles of the station 800
frame assembly between stringer 14 and stringer 30, in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747-53A2451, Revision 2, dated June 13, 2014. Repeat the
inspections at the applicable times specified in paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2451,
Revision 2, dated June 13, 2014.

(h) Repair of Cracking

    If any cracking is found during any inspection required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, before further flight, repair the cracking
using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified
in paragraph (k) of this AD.

(i) Exception to the Service Information

    (1) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2451, Revision 2,
dated June 13, 2014, specifies a compliance time ``after the
Revision 2 date of this service bulletin,'' this AD requires
compliance within the specified time after the effective date of
this AD.
    (2) The Condition column of paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of
the Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2451, Revision 2, dated
June 13, 2014, refers to total flight cycles ``as of the Revision 2
date of this service bulletin.'' This AD, however applies to
airplanes with the specified total flight cycles or total flight
hours as of the effective date of this AD.

(j) Credit for Previous Actions

    This paragraph provides credit for the inspections and repairs
of the inner chord strap and angles of the station 800 frame
assembly between stringer 14 and stringer 18 required by paragraphs
(g) and (h) of this AD, if those actions were performed before the
effective date of this AD using Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-
53A2451, Revision 1, dated November 10, 2005.

(k) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
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 Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (k)(1) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair required by this AD if it is approved by the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization
(ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to make
those findings. For a repair method to be approved, the repair must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) AMOCs approved for AD 2007-16-08, Amendment 39-15147 (72 FR
44728, August 9, 2007), are approved as AMOCs for the corresponding
provisions of this AD.

BILLING CODE 4910-13-P


July 30, 2004 Dr. Debra Edwards Special Review and Reregistration Division ( 7508C) Office of Pesticide Programs U. S. Environmental Protection Agency 1801 South Bell Street Arlington, Virginia 22202 Dear Dr. Edwards:

Re: Azinphos Methyl ( Guthion) Phase Out for Potatoes During the reregistration process for Azinphos Methyl ( Guthion), the National Potato Council ( NPC) filed written comments on January 28, 2002, on the need to continue its use on potatoes. The NPC also consulted with potato growers who were using the product or who would potentially need the product. The consensus, at that time, was that Guthion was a valuable product for the control of the Colorado potato beetle, banded cucumber beetle, leaf hopper, European corn borer, flea beetle, leafhoppers, spittle bugs, tarnished plant bug, and tuber worms.

At that time, NPC also tried to look down the road at other newer products, still in development or under review for registration, to determine if effective alternatives to Guthion would be available in the future. At that point, the prospects for effective alternative products seemed bright. Based on that analysis, NPC worked with EPA to develop a scheduled phase out for Guthion instead of immediate cancellation. The NPC appreciates the work by EPA staff to accommodate this result. NPC has continued to evaluate the use of Guthion during the phase out in order to determine the impact that adherence to the phase out schedule would have on potato production. Alternative products have not surfaced so as to be available at the end of the Guthion phase out for potatoes.

In addition, we are informed that resistance to many of the other available insecticides is developing more quickly than expected. This increases the need for broader spectrum insecticides, in particular, and the need for more products to use in rotation to prevent resistance development.

The NPC has been informed that there continues to be a significant need for Guthion in the Pacific northwest, and possibly, also in Colorado and the Mid Atlantic region as Guthion continues to be an effective treatment for many insect pests. We are informed that many of the currently available alternatives are not as effective, and/ or have associated resistance problems. Dr. Debra Edwards July 30, 2004 Page 2 On behalf of the potato growers we represent, the NPC respectfully requests that EPA begin a process with the potato industry and the registrant to reevaluate the decision to phase out the use of Guthion on potatoes. We look forward to working productively with you and your staff to evaluate and update current use and benefit data, resistance issues, and to identify possible strategies that could extend the availability of Guthion beyond 2005 for potatoes.

Sincerely,

John Keeling Executive Vice President/ CEO WDC99 954808 1.027357.0010

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company 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 The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-
200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR,
and 747SP series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an
evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) indicating that the nose
wheel well is subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This proposed
AD would require modification of the nose wheel body structure; a
detailed inspection of the nose wheel body structure for any cracking;
a surface high frequency eddy current inspection (HFEC) or an open hole
HFEC inspection of the vertical beam outer chord and web for any
cracking; and all applicable related investigative actions including
repetitive inspections, and other specified and corrective actions. We
are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking in the
nose wheel well structure; such cracking could adversely affect the
structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 12,
2016.

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

Discussion

    Fatigue damage can occur locally, in small areas or structural
design details, or globally, in widespread areas. Multiple-site damage
is widespread damage that occurs in a large structural element such as
a single rivet line of a lap splice joining two large skin panels.
Widespread damage can also occur in multiple elements such as adjacent
frames or stringers. Multiple-site damage and multiple-element damage
cracks are typically too small initially to be reliably detected with
normal inspection methods. Without intervention, these cracks will
grow, and eventually compromise the structural integrity of the
airplane. This condition is known as widespread fatigue damage. It is
associated with general degradation of large areas of structure with
similar structural details and stress levels. As an airplane ages, WFD
will likely occur, and will certainly occur if the airplane is operated
long enough without any intervention.
    The FAA's WFD final rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) became
effective on January 14, 2011. The WFD rule requires certain actions to
prevent structural failure due to WFD throughout the operational life
of certain existing transport category airplanes and all of these
airplanes that will be certificated in the future. For existing and
future airplanes subject to the WFD rule, the rule requires that DAHs
establish a limit of validity (LOV) of the engineering data that
support the structural maintenance program. Operators affected by the
WFD rule may not fly an airplane beyond its LOV, unless an extended LOV
is approved.
    The WFD rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) does not require
identifying and developing maintenance actions if the DAHs can show
that such actions are not necessary to prevent WFD before the airplane
reaches the LOV. Many LOVs, however, do depend on accomplishment of
future maintenance actions. As stated in the WFD rule, any maintenance
actions necessary to reach the LOV will be mandated by airworthiness
directives through separate rulemaking actions.
    In the context of WFD, this action is necessary to enable DAHs to
propose LOVs that allow operators the longest operational lives for
their airplanes, and still ensure that WFD will not occur. This
approach allows for an implementation strategy that provides
flexibility to DAHs in determining the timing of service information
development (with FAA approval), while providing operators with
certainty regarding the LOV applicable to their airplanes.
    We received an evaluation by the DAH indicating that the nose wheel
well is subject to WFD. This condition, if not corrected, could result
in cracking in the nose wheel well structure; such cracking could
adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2887, dated
December 2, 2015. The service information describes procedures for
modification of the nose wheel body structure; a detailed inspection of
the nose wheel body structure for any cracking; a web surface HFEC and
an open hole HFEC inspection of the vertical beam outer chord for any
cracking; and repair. 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, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service
Information.''

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2887, dated December 2, 2015,
specifies to contact the manufacturer for certain instructions, but
this AD requires accomplishment of repair methods, modification
deviations, and alteration deviations in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

Explanation of Compliance Time

    The compliance time for the modification specified in this proposed
AD for addressing WFD was established to ensure that discrepant
structure is modified before WFD develops in airplanes. Standard
inspection techniques cannot be relied on to detect WFD before it
becomes a hazard to flight. We will not grant any extensions of the
compliance time to complete any AD-mandated service bulletin related to
WFD without extensive new data that would substantiate and clearly
warrant such an extension.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 107 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in 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.

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.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2010-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8151]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities, where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP), that are scheduled for suspension on the effective
dates listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the
floodplain management requirements of the program. If the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the
community has adopted the required floodplain management measures prior
to the effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension
will not occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in
the Federal Register on a subsequent date.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact David Stearrett, Mitigation Directorate,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return,
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management
aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future flooding.
Section 1315 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage as authorized under
the NFIP, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.; unless an appropriate public body
adopts adequate floodplain management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The communities listed in this document no longer
meet that statutory requirement for compliance with program
regulations, 44 CFR part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be
suspended on the effective date in the third column. As of that date,
flood insurance will no longer be available in the community. However,
some of these communities may adopt and submit the required
documentation of legally enforceable floodplain management measures
after this rule is published but prior to the actual suspension date.
These communities will not be suspended and will continue their
eligibility for the sale of insurance. A notice withdrawing the
suspension of the communities will be published in the Federal
Register.
    In addition, FEMA has identified the Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHAs) in these communities by publishing a Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM). The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated
in the fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial
assistance (except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a
flood) may legally be provided for construction or acquisition of
buildings in identified SFHAs for communities not participating in the
NFIP and identified for more than a year, on FEMA's initial flood
insurance map of the community as having flood-prone areas (section
202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a),
as amended). This prohibition against certain types of Federal
assistance becomes effective for the communities listed on the date
shown in the last column. The Administrator finds that notice and
public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary
because communities listed in this final rule have been adequately
notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless an appropriate
public body adopts adequate floodplain management measures with
effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no longer comply
with the statutory requirements, and after the effective date, flood
insurance will no longer be available in the communities unless
remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.

    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

FOREIGN CARRIER EXEMPTION CONDITIONS
                              ATTACHMENT

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the foreign carrier
applicant(s) shall:

1) Not conduct any operations unless it holds a currently effective
authorization from its homeland for such operations, and it has filed a
copy of such authorization with the Department;

2) Comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration, including, but not limited to, 14 CFR Parts 129, 91, and
36, and with all applicable U.S. Government requirements concerning
security, including, but not limited to, 49 CFR Part 1546 or 1550, as
applicable.  To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government
requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing
any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its International Principal Security Inspector (IPSI) to advise
the IPSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

3) Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage contained
in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any operations
under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the form of a
completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation Administration’s
Program Management Branch (AFS-260), Flight Standards Service (any
changes to, or termination of, insurance also shall be filed with that
office);

4) Not operate aircraft under this authority unless it complies with
operational safety requirements at least equivalent to Annex 6 of the
Chicago Convention;

5) Conform to the airworthiness and airman competency requirements of
its Government for international air services;

6) Except as specifically exempted or otherwise provided for in a
Department Order, comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 203,
concerning waiver of Warsaw Convention liability limits and defenses;

7) Agree that operations under this authority constitute a waiver of
sovereign immunity, for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1605(a), but only with
respect to those actions or proceedings instituted against it in any
court or other tribunal in the United States that are: a) based on its
operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or b) based on
a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term “international air transportation” means “international
transportation” as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

8) Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

9) Comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 217, concerning the
reporting of scheduled, nonscheduled, and charter data;

10) If charter operations are authorized, except as otherwise provided
in the applicable aviation agreement, comply with the Department’s
rules governing charters (including 14 CFR Parts 212 and 380); and

11) Comply with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and limitations
required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the Department,
with all applicable orders or regulations of other U.S. agencies and
courts, and with all applicable laws of the United States.

This authority shall not be effective during any period when the holder
is not in compliance with the conditions imposed above.  Moreover, this
authority cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without explicit
Department approval under Title 49 of the U.S. Code.

												 05/2004

 Aerolitoral/Aeromexico Code-Share Conditions (OST-2006-24705)

The codeshare operations authorized here are subject to the following
conditions:

(a)  The statement of authorization will remain in effect only as long
as (i) Aerolitoral and Aeromexico continue to hold the necessary
underlying authority to operate the codeshare services at issue, and
(ii) the codeshare agreement providing for the codeshare operations
remains in effect.

(b) Aerolitoral and/or Aeromexico must promptly notify the Department if
the codeshare agreement providing for the codeshare operations is no
longer effective or the carriers decide to cease operating any or all of
the approved codeshare services.    We expect this notification to be
received within 10 days of such non-effectiveness or of such decision.
Such notices should be filed in docket OST-2006-24705.

(c)  The codesharing operations conducted under this authority must
comply with 14 C.F.R. Part 257 and with any amendments to the
Department’s regulations concerning codeshare arrangements that may be
adopted.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the contract between the
carriers, our approval here is expressly conditioned upon the
requirements that the subject foreign air transportation be sold in the
name of the carrier holding out such service in computer reservation
systems and elsewhere; that the carrier selling such transportation
(i.e., the carrier shown on the ticket) accept responsibility for the
entirety of the codeshare journey for all obligations established in its
contract of carriage with the passenger; and that the passenger
liability of the operating carrier be unaffected.

(d)  The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that
neither Aerolitoral or Aeromexico shall give any force or effect to any
contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these
conditions.

We may amend, modify, or revoke this authority at any time without
hearing, at our discretion.

 The Department is acting on the application of Aerolitoral and
Aeromexico prior to the expiration of the 15-day answer period with the
consent of all parties served.

Demonstration of Backup and Complementary Positioning,
Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Capabilities of Global Positioning System
(GPS)

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Request for information (RFI).

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is planning to
conduct a field demonstration of technologies with a Technology
Readiness Level (TRL) of six or higher, as described in the Federal
Highway Administration Technology Readiness Level Guidebook,\1\ that
are capable of providing backup positioning, navigation, and/or timing
services to critical infrastructure (CI) in the event of a temporary
disruption to GPS. This demonstration effort also is expected to
encompass technologies capable of providing complementary PNT functions
to GPS by either expanding PNT capabilities, including cross checks, or
extending them to GPS or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-
denied or degraded user environments. DOT is issuing this Request for
Information (RFI) to seek levels of interest and additional information
from PNT technology vendors on participation in the demonstration. The
information requested can be found in the supplemental information
section of this RFI.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Overview

    As a co-chair and member of the National Executive Committee for
Space-based PNT, a provider and user of U.S. critical infrastructure
(CI) services,

and as the lead civil agency for PNT in the Federal Government, DOT is
interested in leveraging PNT service technology initiatives currently
being undertaken by industry.
    Section 1606 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2018 (Pub. L. 115-91), directed the Secretary of Defense, the
Secretary of Transportation, and the Secretary of Homeland Security to
jointly develop a plan for carrying out a backup GPS capability and
complementary PNT demonstration.
    This RFI outlines the information requested for DOT, in
coordination with the Department of Homeland Security and Department of
Defense, to conduct a demonstration of candidate technologies capable
of serving as a backup and/or complement to GPS in order to ensure
resilient PNT services for U.S. CI operations.

2. Technical Information

    DOT is seeking the following information from technology vendors
for the purpose of conducting a successful demonstration, and to
develop an efficient schedule for scenario development, deployment of
demonstration systems, and completion of data collection and analysis.
The respondents are being asked to provide the information below with
respect to their proposed PNT backup technology(ies), and may also
provide supplemental information that they believe to be relevant to a
successful demonstration if they so choose. The information requested
consists of the following:
    1. A description of the technology(ies) and CI application(s),
including cybersecurity and other security measures inherent in the
system, and if the technology(ies) is/are for timing only, location
only, or both timing and location.
    2. Identify the TRL for the proposed technology(ies).
    3. Identify whether the vendor is willing to participate in the
demonstration by providing material (hardware and user equipment when
applicable), engineering (technology deployment, configuration, and
data collection support), and logistical support during the preparation
and execution phases of the demonstration.
    4. Identify whether this support is contingent on the government
providing some funding.
    5. Provide information about the needed infrastructure (e.g.,
power, network, etc.) that would be necessary to deploy the vendor
technology(ies) at a DOT-furnished demonstration site.
    6. Identify any constraints on participation, e.g., lead-time,
demonstration timelines, funding, infrastructure (HVAC, power, shelter,
and equipment space, etc.).
    7. Identify radiofrequency bands and transmit power levels in terms
of peak Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP). This is needed
during the planning phase depending on the selected demonstration
site(s).
    8. Identify where the technology(ies) is/are currently deployed and
in use, if applicable. Provide location, date of deployment, and if the
deployment is available for examination.
    Abbreviations should be defined either on first use or in a
glossary. Charts and graphics should have quantitative data clearly
labeled. Assumptions should be clearly identified. Proprietary and
other sensitive information should be so marked with requested
disposition instructions. Submitted responses shall be UNCLASSIFIED
