Airworthiness Directives; Pacific Aerospace Limited Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as chafing damage in
the port wing skin caused by the fuel system finger filters. This
proposed AD would require inspecting the wing internal skin for chafing
and taking any necessary corrective actions. The FAA is proposing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by September
13, 2021.

provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Mike
Kiesov, Aviation Safety Engineer, General Aviation & Rotorcraft
Section, International Validation Branch, FAA, 901 Locust, Room 301,
Kansas City, MO 64106. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is
not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket
for this rulemaking.

Background

    The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which is the aviation authority
for New Zealand, has issued AD No. DCA/750XL/34, effective date
February 7, 2019 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct
an unsafe condition for certain Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    DCA/750XL/34 is prompted by a report of finding chafing damage
in the port wing skin caused by the fuel finger filters. The [CAA]
AD is issued to introduce inspection and repair requirements with
the issue of Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB)

PACSB/XL/099 issue 1, dated 16 January 2019.

    The MCAI requires inspecting the wing internal skin for chafing and
taking any necessary corrective actions. You may examine the MCAI in
the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0603.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Pacific Aerospace Limited Mandatory Service
Bulletin PACSB/XL/099, Issue 1, dated January 16, 2019. The service
information contains procedures for removing and modifying the
inspection panel assembly, inspecting the wing internal skin for
chafing, repairing any chafing damage and replacing the fuel filter as
necessary, and reinstalling the inspection panel assembly. 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

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

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

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

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 23 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA also estimates that it
would take about 5 work-hours per airplane to do the inspection and
modification requirements of this proposed AD, and no parts would be
necessary. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the cost of the
inspection and modification for U.S. operators to be $9,725, or $425
per product.
    In addition, the FAA estimates that any necessary follow-on actions
for repair or replacement requirements of this proposed AD would take
about 6 work-hours and require parts costing $150, for a cost of $660
per airplane. The FAA has no way of determining the number of airplanes
that may need these actions.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

Discussion

    As highlighted in the United States Coast Guard Cyber Strategy,
cyber security is one of the most serious economic and national
security challenges we face as a nation. Adversaries, including state-
sponsored and independent hacker groups, terrorists, Transnational
Organized Crime groups, and insider threats can pose significant
threats to our nation's Marine Transportation System (MTS). Yet these
same systems allow the MTS to operate with an impressive record of
efficiency and reliability. With approximately 360 sea and river ports,
which handle more than $1.3 trillion in annual cargo, we are dependent
on a safe, secure, and efficient MTS, which in turn is highly dependent
on a complex, globally-networked system of technology.
    The maritime industry continues to increase use of cyber
technology. Facility operators use computers and cyber dependent
technologies for communications, engineering, cargo control,
environmental control, access control, passenger and cargo screening,
and many other purposes. Facility safety and security systems, such as
security monitoring, fire detection, and general alarm installations
increasingly rely on computers and networks. While these computer and
network systems create benefits, they are inherently vulnerable and
could introduce new vulnerabilities. Exploitation, misuse, or simple
failure of cyber systems can cause injury or death, harm the marine
environment, disrupt vital trade activity, and degrade the ability to
respond to other emergencies.
    There are many resources, technical standards, and recommended
practices available to the marine industry that can help their
governance of cyber risks. Facility operators should use those
resources to promote a culture of effective and proactive cyber risk
management. The purpose of this draft NVIC is to begin to lay out a
series of policies and procedures to mitigate these risks while
ensuring the continued operational capability of the nation's MTS.
    The provisions of the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA)
(Pub. L. 105-297, November 25, 2002) address the security of the MTS
and authorize regulations. Under the authority of MTSA, the Coast Guard
has promulgated regulations, located in subchapter H of Title 33 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which provide general parameters for
port and facility security while allowing facility owners and operators
the discretion to determine the details of how they will comply. Owners
and operators are responsible for assessing vulnerabilities and
ensuring the security of their facilities with Coast Guard oversight
and guidance. The Coast Guard currently has the regulatory authority to
instruct facilities and Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) facilities
regulated under MTSA to address computer system and network
vulnerabilities within their required Facility Security Assessment
(FSA) and to address these vulnerabilities, if necessary, within the
Facility Security Plan (FSP).
    This draft NVIC would provide guidance and recommended practices
for MTSA regulated facilities to address cyber-related vulnerabilities.
It consists of two major parts. The first part, titled ``Cyber Security
and MTSA: 33 CFR parts 105 and 106,'' and labeled enclosure 1,
discusses the existing MTSA regulatory requirements that are applicable
to cyber security related threats. These provisions, located in parts
105 and 106 of 33 CFR, currently require that owners and operators of
MTSA-regulated facilities and OCS facilities conduct FSAs, and if
applicable, include in their FSPs measures addressing any
vulnerabilities identified in the FSA. The NVIC would lay out the Coast
Guard's interpretation of these existing requirements as they would
apply to cybersecurity threats and recommended additions to the FSP. As
these regulations are currently in force, the recommendations of the
NVIC, if finalized, would serve as the Coast Guard's interpretation of
those regulations. The NVIC would assist the owner/operator in
identifying cyber systems that are related to MTSA regulatory
functions, or whose failure or exploitation could cause or contribute
to a Transportation Security Incident.
    This NVIC also contains a more detailed set of cybersecurity
parameters, labeled as enclosure 2 and titled ``Cyber Governance and
Cyber Risk Management Program Implementation Guidance,'' which provides
best recommended practices. This proposed guidance, derived from a
variety of standardized industry practices including the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework
(CSF), lays out the basics for establishing a set of security policies
designed to counter cybersecurity threats. These policies involve the
establishment of roles and responsibilities for a Cyber Risk Management
team, policies, and program, as well as guidance on how to implement
such a program over a variety of business models. It also provides
recommendations for developing security measures including inventory,
access control, acceptable use policies, and network design. The
recommendations in enclosure 2 of this proposed NVIC would provide the
foundation for an effective strategy to help prevent and mitigate the
damage from cybersecurity threats to the MTS.
    With the publication of this draft NVIC, the Coast Guard is seeking
industry and public comments on the necessity, robustness,
implementation, and costs of the proposed cybersecurity guidance.
Specifically, we are seeking comments on the feasibility of its
implementation, how flexible and useful it is in addressing the broad
scope of vulnerabilities and risk facing regulated facilities, and its
ability to remain valid when technology and industry's use of
technology changes. In

addition, we seek comments on whether this guidance aligns with
activities that may already be taking place by industry. The Coast
Guard will carefully consider all comments submitted during the comment
period before promulgating any final guidance. This notice is issued
under authority of 5 U.S.C. 522(a).

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Office of Port and Facility
Compliance.

person at this same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release approximately 0.845 acres of airport
property at the Winterset Municipal Airport (3Y3) under the provisions
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On March 19, 2020, the Winterset Airport
Authority Chairman requested from the FAA that 0.845 acres
of property be released to Madison County for the purpose of relocating
N. 8th Avenue and establishing a new right of way and utility corridor.
On March 27, 2020, the FAA determined the request to release property
at the Winterset Municipal Airport (3Y3) submitted by the Sponsor meets
the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and
the release of the property does not and will not impact future
aviation needs at the airport. The FAA may approve the request, in

this Notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    Winterset Municipal Airport (3Y3) is proposing the release of a two
parcels, totaling 0.845 acres. The release of land is
necessary to comply with Federal Aviation Administration Grant
Assurances that do not allow federally acquired airport property to be
used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the subject property will
result in the land at the Winterset Municipal Airport (3Y3) being
changed from aeronautical to nonaeronautical use and release the land
from the conditions of the AIP Grant Agreement Grant Assurances. In
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will
exchange these parcels for a parcel adjacent to the airport containing
the previous N. 8th Avenue road right of way and utility corridor.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2007-28771; Airspace Docket No. 07-ACE-8]

Modification of Class E Airspace; Fort Scott, KS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part
71 (14 CFR 71) by modifying Class E airspace at Fort Scott Municipal
Airport, KS. Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have been
developed for Fort Scott Municipal Airport, KS. Additional controlled
airspace extending upward from the surface and upward from 700 feet
above the surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing
these approaches. This action increases the area of the existing
controlled airspace for Fort Scott Municipal Airport, KS.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective on 0901 UTC, December 20,
2007. The director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation
by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision
of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments. Comments
for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before October
1, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the Docket Management

received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets Office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The Docket Office (telephone 1-800-647-5527) is on the plaza
level of the Department of Transportation NASSIF building at the above
address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Grant Nichols, System Support, DOT
Regional Headquarters Building, Federal Aviation Administration, 901
Locust, Kansas City, MO, 64106; at telephone number<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to 14 CFR 71 modifies the
Class E airspace area at Fort Scott Municipal Airport, KS. The radius
of the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth is expanded from within a 6.4-mile
radius to within a 7-mile radius of the airport. This modification
brings the legal description of the Fort Scott Municipal Airport, KS
Class E5 airspace area into compliance with FAA Orders 7400.2F and
8260.19C. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated
September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. of the same order. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document would be published
subsequently in the Order.

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

    The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in adverse
or negative comment and, therefore, is issuing it as a direct final
rule. Previous actions of this nature have not been controversial and
have not resulted in adverse comments or objections. Unless a written
adverse or negative comment or a written notice of intent to submit an
adverse or negative comment is received within the comment period, the
regulation will become effective on the date specified above. After the
close of the comment period, the FAA will publish a document in the
Federal Register indicating that no adverse or negative comments were
received and confirming the date on which the final rule will become
effective. If the FAA does receive, within the comment period, an
adverse or negative comment, or written notice of intent to submit such
a comment, a document withdrawing the direct final rule will be

published in the Federal Register, and a notice of proposed rulemaking
may be published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this rulemaking by
submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as they may desire.
Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing reasoned
regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are specifically invited
on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and
energy-related aspects of the proposal. Communications should identify
both docket numbers and be submitted in triplicate to the address
listed above. Commenter's wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of
their comments on this notice must submit with those comments a self-
addressed, stamped postcard on which the following statement is made:
``Comments to Docket No FAA-2006-28771/Airspace Docket No. 07-ACE-8.''
The postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.

Agency Findings

    The regulations adopted herein 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. Therefore, it
is determined that this final rule does not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation is non-controversial
and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. For the reasons
discussed in the preamble, I certify that this regulation (1) is not a
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is
not a ``significant rule'' under Department of Transportation (DOT)
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
and (3) if promulgated, 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.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
since it contains aircraft executing instrument approach procedures to
Fort Scott Municipal Airport, KS.

Amendment to the Allethrins Reregistration Eligibility Decision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's Revised
Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the allethrins series of
pesticides. EPA amended the allethrins RED to include an assessment of
a registered use for the allethrins (use in commercial animal housing
automatic misting systems), which was not considered in the original
RED.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, farm worker and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How Can I Get Copies of this Document and Other Related Information?

    1. Docket. EPA has established a docket for this action under
docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0986. Publicly
available docket materials are available either in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard
copy, at the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public
Docket in Rm. S-4400, One Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal

    2. Electronic access. You may access this Federal Register document
electronically through the EPA Internet under the ``Federal Register''
listings at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) directs EPA to reevaluate existing pesticides to ensure
that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. In the
Federal Register issue of September 26, 2007 (72 FR 54662) (FRL-8144-
8), EPA issued a RED for the allethrins under section 4(g)(2)(A) of
FIFRA. Due to their uses, risk, and other factors, the allethrins were
reviewed through the modified 4-Phase public participation process.
Subsequent to publication of the RED, the technical registrant (Valent
BioSciences Corporation) identified a product (EPA registration number
21165-62) registered for use in commercial animal housing automatic
misting systems, a use not addressed in the RED or in the supporting
risk assessments. As a result, the Agency updated the allethrins
occupational and residential risk assessment to include an evaluation
of this product and use pattern, and revised the RED accordingly. All
other risk assessments described in the original RED remain the same.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, directs that, after
submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ``the
Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active
ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' before calling in product
specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering
products or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.''

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the Tower Drawbridge across the
Sacramento River, mile 59.0, at Sacramento, CA. The deviation is
necessary to allow the community to participate in the New Year's Eve
fireworks. This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-
navigation position during the deviation period.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 8:30 p.m. on December 31, 2016
to 12:15 a.m. on January 1, 2017.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG-2016-1044], is

``SEARCH'' box and click ``SEARCH''. Click on Open Docket Folder on the
line associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email David H. Sulouff, Chief, Bridge
Section, Eleventh Coast Guard District; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: California Department of Transportation has
requested a temporary change to the operation of the Tower Drawbridge,
mile 59.0, over Sacramento River, at Sacramento, CA. The vertical lift
bridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30 feet above
Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw operates
as required by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the waterway is
commercial and recreational.
    The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position
from 8:30 p.m. on December 31, 2016 to 12:15 a.m. on January 1, 2017,
to allow the community to participate in the New Year's Eve fireworks.
This temporary deviation has been coordinated with the waterway users.
No objections to the proposed temporary deviation were raised.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may
do so at any time. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies
and there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The
Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterway through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their
transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: December 9, 2016.
