[EPA-R02-OAR-2019-0164; FRL-9993-70-Region 2] Approval of Air Quality
Implementation Plans;

New Jersey; Determination of Attainment for the 1971 Sulfur
Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard; Warren County
Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to make
the determination that the Warren County Sulfur Dioxide
(SO2) Nonattainment Area has attained the 1971
SO2 primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS). This action does not constitute a redesignation to
attainment. The Warren County Nonattainment Area will remain
nonattainment for the 1971 primary and secondary NAAQS until EPA
determines that the Area meets the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements for
redesignation to attainment, including an approved maintenance plan. If
the EPA finalizes this rule, certain attainment planning requirements
will be suspended for so long as the area remains in attainment of the
NAAQS. This action is being taken under the CAA.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 19, 2019.

I. Background

a. Nonattainment Designation

    The EPA designated all of Warren County, New Jersey as attainment
for the 1971 SO2 primary and secondary NAAQS on March 3,
1978 (43 FR 8962). On December 31, 1987 (52 FR 49408), the EPA
redesignated portions of Warren County as nonattainment for both the
primary and secondary 1971 SO2 NAAQS at the request of the
State of New Jersey (the State) to revise the air quality designation
for the area identified in the State's request. EPA issued a minor
correction to the

redesignation on March 14, 1988 (53 FR 8182).
    The 1971 SO2 NAAQS consisted of two primary standards
for the protection of public health and one secondary standard for the
protection of public welfare. The primary SO2 NAAQS
addressed 24-hour average and annual average ambient SO2
concentrations. The secondary standard addressed 3-hour average ambient
SO2 concentrations. The level of the annual SO2
standard was 0.03 parts per million (ppm) (or 80 micrograms per cubic
meter ([mu]g/m\3\)) not to be exceeded in a calendar year. See 40 CFR
50.4(a). The level of the 24-hour standard was 0.14 ppm (or 365 [mu]g/
m\3\), not to be exceeded more than once per calendar year. See 40 CFR
50.4(b). The level of the secondary SO2 standard is a 3-hour
standard of 0.5 ppm (or 1300 [mu]g/m\3\), not to be exceeded more than
once per calendar year. See 40 CFR 50.5(a).
    The EPA subsequently finalized a revised, more stringent
SO2 primary NAAQS that included a shorter 1-hour averaging
period on June 2, 2010.\1\ The 2010 SO2 primary standard was
set at a level of 75 parts per billion (ppb) (or 196.4 [mu]g/m\3\)
based on the 3-year average of the annual 99th percentile of daily
maximum 1-hour average SO2 concentrations. See 40 CFR
50.17(a)-(b). The EPA provided that the 24-hour and annual standards
were to be revoked for all areas one year after their individual
designations under the 2010 primary NAAQS, except for areas previously
designated nonattainment that did not have an approved SIP for the new
1-hour standard. See 40 CFR 50.4(e). The 3-hour secondary NAAQS remains
in effect. The EPA designated \2\ all of New Jersey, including Warren
County, for the new primary, one hour 75 ppb 2010 SO2 NAAQS
as attainment/unclassifiable on December 21, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 75 FR 35520, June 22, 2010.
    \2\ See 83 FR 1098, January 9, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EPA initially designated all of Warren County, which is part of
the Northeast Pennsylvania-Upper Delaware Valley Interstate Air Quality
Control Region (AQCR), as ``better than national standards'' (otherwise
known as ``attainment'') for the 1971 primary and secondary
SO2 NAAQS on March 3, 1978 (43 FR 8962). On April 30, 1986
and June 26, 1986, the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP) submitted a request to EPA to revise the air quality
designation for parts of Warren County from ``attainment'' to
``nonattainment'' with respect to the 1971 primary and secondary
SO2 NAAQS. The EPA revised the designations for those parts
of Warren County to ``does not meet standards'' (otherwise known as
``nonattainment'') based on the State's request under section 107 of
the CAA and the EPA's assessment of air dispersion screening modeling
performed by the NJDEP and others that showed portions of Warren County
were in violation of the NAAQS.
    The boundaries of the nonattainment area were based on the results
of New Jersey's Valley screening model analysis to determine the impact
from the Martins Creek Generating Station (i.e., Martins Creek),
located in Northampton, Pennsylvania (PA) and other nearby sources, to
elevated terrain in Warren County out to 14 kilometers from Martins
Creek. New Jersey modeled eight existing major sources \3\ at the time
in the AQCR using worst-case meteorology in the Valley screening model
analysis. The emission rates for the Pennsylvania sources included in
the modeling dwarfed those from the New Jersey facilities; emissions
from the Pennsylvania sources were up to two orders of magnitude higher
than those from New Jersey facilities. The highest emission rates were
from Martins Creek, and the Portland Generating Station (i.e.,
Portland), which was also located in Northampton, PA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Pennsylvania sources evaluated were Martins Creek,
Metropolitan Edison (later known as Portland Generating Station),
Bethlehem Steel, Coplay Cement, Hercules Cement, and Lone Star. New
Jersey sources were Hoffman LaRoche and Ingersoll-Rand.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The December 31, 1987 nonattainment redesignation for Warren County
included the entire Townships of Harmony, Oxford, White, and Belvidere,
and portions of Liberty \4\ and Mansfield \5\ Townships. See 52 FR at
49411, 53 FR 8182, and 40 CFR 81.331. The remaining portion of Warren
County remained designated as attainment. The designated nonattainment
area included impacted areas in New Jersey only as determined by the
Valley screening modeling and did not include the areas in PA where the
large contributing sources were located such as the Martins Creek and
Portland facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Portions of Liberty south of UTM coordinate N4522 and West
of UTM E505 (See 53 FR 8182, March 14, 1988).
    \5\ Portions of Mansfield west of UTM E505 (See 53 FR 8182,
March 14, 1988).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since the December 1987 redesignation, SO2 emissions
have been reduced considerably from contributing sources due to the
shut-down of coal-fired boilers at Martins Creek and Portland. Martins
Creek coal fired units were shut down in September 2007 (and removed
approximately one year later). Portland coal-fired units were shut down
in June 2013 (Unit 2), and May 2014 (Unit 1). Further background
information can be found in the Technical Support Document (TSD) for
this rulemaking, located in the docket.
    New Jersey was required to submit an attainment SIP to the EPA
within 18 months \6\ of November 15, 1990, or May 15, 1992. The Warren
County Nonattainment Area was required to attain the NAAQS within five
years \7\ after November 15, 1990. Therefore, the Warren County
SO2 Nonattainment Area's attainment date was November 15,
1995.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ CAA Sec.  191(b).
    \7\ CAA Sec.  192(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 14, 2018, the Center for Biological Diversity, Center for
Environmental Health, and Sierra Club (CBD) filed suit against the EPA
in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
seeking to compel the EPA to, among other things, determine that New
Jersey had failed to submit a required SIP for the New Jersey portion
of the Northeast Pennsylvania-Upper Delaware Valley Interstate Air
Quality Control Region (part) nonattainment area, and amended that
complaint on December 17, 2018. See Center for Biological Diversity, et
al., v. Wheeler, Civ. No. 18-cv-3544-YGR (N.D. Cal.). This case is
still pending.
    The NJDEP submitted a request on August 17, 2018 for the EPA to
make the determination that the Warren County SO2
Nonattainment Area had attained the 1971 primary and secondary
SO2 NAAQS (Warren County SO2 Clean Data Request).
This request can be found in the docket for this rulemaking.

b. The EPA's Clean Data Policy

    Following enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990, EPA promulgated
its interpretation of the requirements for implementing the NAAQS in
the general preamble for the Implementation of Title I of the CAA
Amendments of 1990 (General Preamble). See 57 FR 13498, 13564 (April
16, 1992). In 1995, based on the interpretations in the General
Preamble of CAA sections 171, 172, and 182, EPA set forth what has
become known as its ``Clean Data Policy'' for the 1-hour ozone
NAAQS.\8\ EPA's Clean Data Policy represents the Agency's
interpretation that certain nonattainment area planning requirements of
part D of the CAA are suspended for areas that are attaining

the NAAQS. The specific requirements that are suspended by a
determination of attainment, also known as a Clean Data Determination
(CDD), include those measures that are designed to help an area that is
not attaining the standard plan for and achieve attainment, i.e., the
attainment demonstration, reasonably available control measures (RACM),
reasonable further progress measures, and contingency measures for
failure to meet deadlines for RFP and attainment by the attainment
date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Memorandum from John S. Seitz, Director, Office of Air
Quality Planning Standards, ``RFP, Attainment Demonstration, and
Related Requirements for Ozone Nonattainment Areas Meeting the Ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standard,'' May 10, 1995.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA has applied this interpretation of the CAA to the
implementation of nearly every criteria pollutant in individual area
notice-and-comment rulemakings suspending certain attainment-planning
requirements,\9\ in national implementation rules for ozone and
particulate matter NAAQS,\10\ and in the most recent implementation
guidance document for sulfur dioxide \11\. EPA's Clean Data Policy
interpretation has been upheld by multiple courts.\12\ When states
request that the EPA make a CDD of a designated SO2 NAAQS
nonattainment area, the EPA will determine whether an area has attained
the NAAQS based on air quality monitoring data (when available) and air
quality dispersion modeling information for the affected area as
necessary. A CDD does not constitute a formal redesignation to
attainment. If the EPA subsequently determines that an area is no
longer attaining the standard, those requirements that were suspended
by the CDD once again apply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See, e.g., 69 FR 21717 (April 22, 2004) (San Francisco Bay
Area, 1-hour ozone); 75 FR 27944 (May 19, 2010) (Coso Junction,
California, PM10); 78 FR 66280 (November 5, 2013)

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

II. Summary of New Jersey CDD Request and the EPA Analysis

    In its August 17, 2018 CDD request, the NJDEP provided several
analyses to demonstrate that the Warren County SO2
Nonattainment Area's air quality is meeting the 3-hour, 24-hour, and
annual 1971 SO2 NAAQS. The information submitted includes
ambient air quality data and interpretive analysis for air monitoring
sites located in the vicinity of the Warren County Nonattainment Area
and recorded into the EPA's Air Quality System (AQS); ambient air
quality data from a special study (i.e., Warren County Air Monitoring
Project) within the Warren County Nonattainment Area; and
SO2 emissions trends both within Warren County and from
principal sources associated with the SO2 nonattainment
designation. Additionally, New Jersey provided a list of existing SIP-
approved measures and other federally enforceable measures, pursuant to
permitting requirements under the CAA, that apply to SO2
sources both within the Warren County Nonattainment Area, and to
principal sources associated with the 1987 SO2 nonattainment
designation under the 1971 NAAQS.
    In our analysis, the EPA considered an air dispersion modeling
study performed in the late 1990s to evaluate the impacts of Martins
Creek, Portland, and other sources in the Warren County Nonattainment
Area. The EPA also considered SO2 emissions trends, and
control measures both within Warren County and from the primary
contributing sources. Additionally, EPA considered ambient air quality
data from the Columbia, NJ; Chester, NJ; and Easton, PA air monitoring
sites in AQS; as well as from the Warren County Air Monitoring Project
Special Study. Finally, the EPA also evaluated, and considered New
Jersey's analysis to estimate SO2 concentrations in the
Warren County Nonattainment Area based on the interpolation of data
from the Columbia, NJ; Chester, NJ; and Easton, PA air monitoring
sites.
    The primary emission sources that caused violations of the 1971
SO2 NAAQS, namely Martins Creek and Portland, have
dramatically reduced emissions. Martins Creek, which in 1990 emitted
33,300 tons of SO2 per year, has shut down its coal-fired
boilers, and the remaining oil-fired boilers are currently emitting an
average of 88 tons of SO2 per year. Portland, which in 1990
emitted 25,400 tons of SO2 per year, has shut down its coal
units, and is currently emitting less than 0.5 tons of SO2
per year. No other source in the area emits more than 15 tons of
SO2 per year. Modeling conducted in June 1999 showed that
attainment could be assured with only slight reductions in then
allowable emissions, indicating the dramatic subsequent reductions in
the emissions of Martins Creek and Portland have caused the area now to
attain the 1971 standards. In the current absence of significant
sources in the area, the monitoring data that is available from various
sites within Warren County and neighboring counties may be considered
indicative of current air quality. These monitors show concentrations
well below the 1971 NAAQS
    A detailed summary of the EPA's review and rationale for this
proposed CDD may be found in the TSD, located in the docket. Based on
the EPA's analysis, the EPA agrees with New Jersey that the area is
meeting attainment and is proposing to make the determination that the
Warren County Nonattainment Area has attained the 3-hour, 24-hour, and
annual 1971 SO2 NAAQS.

III. Proposed Action

    The EPA proposes to make the determination that the Warren County
Nonattainment Area has attained the 3-hour, 24-hour, and annual 1971
SO2 NAAQS. This proposed ``Clean Data Determination'' is
based on air quality monitoring data, air quality dispersion modeling
information, as well as other supporting information indicated in the
proposal. If the EPA finalizes this determination that the area has
attained the 3-hour, 24-hour, and annual 1971 SO2 NAAQS, it
would suspend the requirements for the State to submit a reasonable
further progress plan, attainment demonstration, contingency measures
and any other planning SIP relating to attainment of the 3-hour, 24-
hour, and annual 1971 SO2 NAAQS for so long as the Warren
County Nonattainment Area continues to meet each NAAQS. Although these
requirements would be suspended, the EPA would not be precluded from
acting upon these elements at any time if submitted to the EPA for
review and approval.
    Issuance of a CDD would not constitute a redesignation of the
Warren County Nonattainment Area to attainment for the 3-hour, 24-hour,
and annual 1971 SO2 NAAQS under CAA section 107(d)(3).
Neither does the proposed CDD involve approving any maintenance plan
for the Warren County Nonattainment Area, nor does it serve as a
determination that the Warren County Nonattainment Area has met all the
requirements for redesignation under the CAA; any such redesignation
would require, among other things, that the attainment is attributable
to permanent and enforceable measures. Therefore, the designation
status of the Warren County Nonattainment Area will remain
nonattainment for the 3-hour, 24-hour, and annual 1971 SO2
NAAQS until such time as the EPA takes final rulemaking action to
determine that the Warren County Nonattainment Area meets the CAA

requirements for redesignation to attainment. The EPA is soliciting
public comments on the issues discussed in this document. Public
comments will be considered before the EPA takes final action.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action proposes to make an attainment determination based on
air quality data and other information would, if finalized, result in
the suspension of certain Federal requirements and would not impose any
additional requirements. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because it is not a significant regulatory
action under Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 1985,
April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the attainment determination would not apply on any
Indian reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian
tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).

flood insurance rate maps, and (b) data accuracy, data quality, data
currency, and data eligibility; (3) how to maintain, on an ongoing
basis, flood insurance rate maps and flood risk identification; (4)
procedures for delegating mapping

activities to State and local mapping partners; and (5)(a) methods for
improving interagency and intergovernmental coordination on flood
mapping and flood risk determination, and (b) a funding strategy to
leverage and coordinate budgets and expenditures across Federal
agencies. Furthermore, the TMAC is required to submit an annual report
to the FEMA Administrator that contains: (1) A description of the
activities of the Council; (2) an evaluation of the status and
performance of flood insurance rate maps and mapping activities to
revise and update Flood Insurance Rate Maps; and (3) a summary of
recommendations made by the Council to the FEMA Administrator.
    The TMAC must also develop recommendations on how to ensure that
flood insurance rate maps incorporate the best available climate
science to assess flood risks and ensure that FEMA uses the best
available methodology to consider the impact of the rise in sea level
and future development on flood risk. The TMAC must collect these
recommendations and present them to the FEMA Administrator in a future
conditions risk assessment and modeling report.
    Further, in accordance with the Homeowner Flood Insurance
Affordability Act of 2014, the TMAC must develop a review report
related to flood mapping in support of the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP).
    Agenda: On June 23, 2015, the TMAC members will discuss the
Council's work process for preparation of the Annual Report and Future
Conditions Report due in October 2015, and receive report outs from the
following TMAC subcommittees: (1) Future Conditions; (2) Flood Hazard
Risk Generation and Dissemination; and (3) Operations, Coordination,
and Leveraging. A brief public comment period will take place prior to
any votes. In addition, invited subject matter experts will brief TMAC
members on FEMA's mapping program and the progress of FEMA's Flood
Insurance Reform Flood Mapping Integrated Project Team (IPT) to date,
and present a tribal perspective on the program.
    On June 24, 2015, the TMAC members will (1) discuss the report outs
from the TMAC subcommittees, (2) deliberate on content for the 2015
reports, and (3) discuss next steps for TMAC discussions and report
development, including a vote on the annotated outlines for the Annual
Report and Future Condition Report due in October 2015. A brief public
comment period will take place prior to a vote. The full agenda and
related briefing materials will be posted for review by June 15, 2015
at http://www.fema.gov/TMAC.

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0433; Directorate Identifier 94-ANE-39-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2014-24-
08 that applies to all Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-535E4-37, RB211-
535E4-B-37, and RB211-535E4-C-37 turbofan engines with certain low-
pressure (LP) fuel filter-to-high-pressure (HP) fuel pump tube
assemblies, or HP fuel pump-to-fuel flow governor (FFG) or FFG-to-HP
pump inlet overspill return tube assemblies and flanged adaptor
installed. AD 2014-24-08 requires replacing certain LP fuel filter-to-
HP fuel pump tube assemblies. Since we issued AD 2014-24-08, fuel leaks
have occurred at the flanged joints of the HP fuel pump-to-FFG tube
assembly and FFG-to-HP pump inlet overspill return tube assembly. This
proposed AD would retain the original AD requirements and also require
installation of new HP fuel pump-to-FFG and FFG-to-HP pump inlet
overspill return tube assemblies and flanged adaptor. We are proposing
this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 10, 2017.

Discussion

    On November 20, 2014, we issued AD 2014-24-08, Amendment 39-18041
(79 FR 71308, December 2, 2014), ``AD 2014-24-08,'' for all RB211-
535E4-37, RB211-535E4-B-37, and RB211-535E4-C-37 turbofan engines. AD
2014-24-08 expands the applicability to include the RB211-535E4-C-37
turbofan engine and requires removal from service of additional part
number (P/N) LP fuel filter-to-HP fuel pump tube assemblies. AD 2014-
24-08 resulted from reports of fuel leaks that resulted in engine in-
flight shutdowns. We issued AD 2014-24-08 to prevent loss of fuel
supply to the engine, which could lead to the in-flight shutdown of one
or more engines, loss of thrust control, and damage to the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2014-24-08 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2014-24-08, fuel leaks have occurred at the
flanged joints of the HP fuel pump-to-FFG and FFG-to-HP pump inlet
overspill return tube assemblies. Also since we issued AD 2014-24-08,
the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued AD 2017-0006,
dated January 10, 2017.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Rolls-Royce plc has issued Service Bulletin (SB) RB.211-73-G230,
Revision 3, dated April 8, 2016. The SB describes a modification (mod
73-G230) and introduces new HP fuel pump-to-FFG and FFG-to-HP pump
inlet overspill return tube assemblies with a larger O-ring groove on
the end adaptor sealing face. RR has also issued Service Bulletin SB
RB.211-73-H131, Revision 1, dated September 2, 2014. The SB introduces
a new LP fuel filter-to-HP fuel pump tube 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

    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 retain the original AD requirements and also
require installing new HP fuel pump-to-FFG or FFG-to-HP pump inlet
overspill return tube assemblies and flanged adaptor. This proposed AD
changes the compliance requirement for replacing the LP fuel filter-to-
HP fuel pump tube assembly adding a not to exceed flight hour/flight
cycle life limit, consistent with the EASA AD requirements. This
proposed AD would also prohibit re-installation of earlier HP fuel
pump-to-FFG and FFG-to-HP pump inlet overspill return tube assemblies,
as well as LP fuel filter to HP pump tube assemblies, P/N AE709623-1.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 100 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

 assemblies.                         hour = $722.50.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, 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:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56167; File No. SR-BSE-2007-33]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Boston Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed
Rule Change as Modified by Amendment No. 1 To Extend the Linkage Fee
Pilot Program

July 30, 2007.
    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 July 9, 2007, Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been substantially prepared by the Exchange. On July 25, 2007, the
Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. This order
provides notice of the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment
No. 1, and approves the proposed rule change, as amended, on an
accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 BSE proposes to amend the Fee Schedule of the Boston Options
Exchange (``BOX''), the options trading facility of the BSE, to extend
until July 31, 2008, the current pilot program applicable to the
options intermarket linkage (``Linkage'') fees and to make some
technical changes to the Fee Schedule. The text of the proposed rule
change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference
Room, and http://www.bostonstock.com.

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 III below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange's fees for Principal (``P'') and Principal Acting as
Agent (``P/A'') Orders \3\ executed on BOX currently operate under a
pilot program scheduled to expire on July 31, 2007.\4\ The BSE proposes
to extend the current pilot program for such Linkage fees through July
31, 2008. Because all Linkage Orders received by BOX are for the
account of a market maker on another exchange, Linkage fees that are
applicable to P Orders and P/A Orders are the same as fees applicable
to market makers on other exchanges that submit orders to BOX outside
of Linkage. The side of a BOX trade opposite a P Order or P/A Order
would be billed normally as any other BOX trade. Consistent with the
Plan for the Purpose of Creating and Operating Linkage, no fees will be
charged to a party sending a Satisfaction Order to BOX. Rather, a fee
will be

charged to the BOX Options Participant that was responsible for the
trade-through that caused the Satisfaction Order to be sent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Under Chapter XII, Section 1(j) of the BOX Rules, a
``Linkage Order'' means an Immediate or Cancel order routed through
Linkage. There are three types of Linkage Orders:
    (i) ``P/A Order,'' which is an order for the principal account
of a Market Maker (or equivalent entity on another Participant
Exchange that is authorized to represent Public Customer orders),
reflecting the terms of a related unexecuted Public Customer order
for which the Market Maker is acting as agent;
    (ii) ``P Order,'' which is an order for the principal account of
a market maker (or equivalent entity on another Participant
Exchange) and is not a P/A Order; and
    (iii) ``Satisfaction Order,'' which is an order sent through
Linkage to notify a Participant Exchange of a Trade-Through and to
seek satisfaction of the liability arising from that Trade-Through.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54225 (July 27,
2006), 71 FR 44056 (August 3, 2006) (SR-BSE 2006-26).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The BSE believes that extending the Linkage fee pilot program until
July 31, 2008 will give the Exchange and the Commission additional time
and opportunity to evaluate the appropriateness of Linkage fees.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that the
proposed rule change provides for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members and other
persons using its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

III. 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:

). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments,

all written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that
are filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating
to the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person,
other than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance
with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for inspection
and copying in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 100 F Street,
NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours
of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Copies of such filing also will be available for
inspection and copying at the principal office of the Exchange. All
comments received will be posted without change; the Commission does
not edit personal identifying information from submissions. You should
submit only information that you wish to make available publicly. All
submissions should refer to File Number SR-BSE-2007-33 and should be
submitted on or before August 24, 2007.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
the Proposed Rule Change

    After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange,\7\ and, in particular, the requirements of section 6(b) of
the Act \8\ and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with section 6(b)(4)
of the Act,\9\ which requires that the rules of the Exchange provide
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other
charges among its members and other persons using its facilities. The
Commission believes that the extension of the Linkage fee pilot until
July 31, 2008 will give the Exchange and the Commission further
opportunity to evaluate whether such fees are appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In approving this rule change, the Commission notes that it
has considered the proposal's impact on efficiency, competition, and
capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission also finds good cause for approving the proposed
rule change prior to the 30th day after the date of publication of the
notice of filing thereof in the Federal Register. The Commission
believes that granting accelerated approval of the proposed rule change
will preserve the Exchange's existing pilot program for Linkage fees
without interruption as the Exchange and the Commission continue
considering the appropriateness of Linkage fees.
    Therefore, the Commission finds good cause, consistent with section
19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act,\10\ to approve the proposed rule change
on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\11\ that the proposed rule change (SR-BSE-2007-33), as modified by
Amendment No. 1, be, and it hereby is, approved on an accelerated
basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\12\

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1364; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-103-AD;
Amendment 39-15928; AD 2009-12-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500
Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This AD requires
modifying the control power wiring of the normal supply fan and the low
flow sensor for the equipment cooling system of the electronic flight
instrument system (EFIS). This AD results from a report of loss of both
the normal EFIS cooling supply and the indication of EFIS cooling loss
due to a single failure of the battery bus, causing eventual power-down
of the EFIS displays; the standby attitude indication is also powered
by this battery bus. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of all
attitude indications from both the standby indicator and EFIS displays,
which could decrease the ability of the flightcrew to maintain the safe
flight and landing of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective July 16, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of July 16,
2009.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
certain Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. That
NPRM was published in the Federal Register on January 12, 2009 (74 FR
1153). That NPRM proposed to require modifying the control power wiring
of the normal supply fan and the low flow sensor for the equipment
cooling system of the electronic flight instrument system (EFIS).

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Supportive Comments

    Boeing and Continental Airlines support the actions in the NPRM.

Request To Add an Alternate Method of Compliance

    Lufthansa German Airlines asks that we add a method acceptable for
compliance with the corresponding requirements of the NPRM. Lufthansa
notes that, as specified in paragraphs (f), (g)(1), and (g)(2) of the
NPRM, actions done in accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737-21A1156, Revision 1, dated October 23, 2007; or Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-21A1156, dated June 20, 2006; are acceptable for
compliance. Lufthansa adds that these actions prevent loss of all
attitude indications from both the standby indicator and EFIS displays
in case of battery bus failure. (The following is a clarification of
the commenter's description of acceptable sources of service
information specified in this AD: Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-
21A1156, Revision 2, dated December 11, 2008, is the source of service
information referred to in the NPRM for accomplishing the specified
actions. Actions done previously in accordance with Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-21A1156, Revision 1, dated October 23, 2007; or
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin

737-21A1156, dated June 20, 2006 (for Groups 1 and 2 airplanes
identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-21A1156, Revision 1),
are acceptable for compliance with the corresponding requirements of
this AD.)
    Lufthansa asks that we consider another method to address this
unsafe condition, which is to append an abnormal procedure task to the
flight crew operations manual in case of battery bus failure to specify
setting the equipment cooling switch to alternate if the battery bus
fails. This would allow the alternate supply fan to still cool the EFIS
displays and prevent them from failing.
    We disagree with the commenter's request to add this additional
method of compliance to the AD requirements. The identified unsafe
condition is loss of all attitude indications from both the standby
indicator and EFIS displays, which could decrease the ability of the
flightcrew to maintain the safe flight and landing of the airplane.
Although we recognize the commenter's suggestion provides some safety
mitigation for the unsafe condition, the inherently unsafe design of
the EFIS cooling system must be corrected to ensure that flightcrews
are equipped with attitude indications. Therefore, after the
modification of the control power wiring of the EFIS cooling system is
done, revising the flightcrew operations manual is not necessary and is
not acceptable as an alternate method of compliance to this AD. We have
made no change to the AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 263 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S.
operators to comply with this AD.

                                                                     Estimated Costs

     Currently, there are no Group 3 airplanes on the U.S. Register.
However, if an affected airplane is imported and placed on the U.S.
Register in the future, the required actions would take about 5 work
hours, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD for Group 3 airplanes to be
$400 per airplane.

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

    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 that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
    (3) 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG
Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) BR700-710A1-10, -
710A2-20, and -710C4-11 turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted
by a seized low-pressure turbine (LPT) fuel shut-off pawl carrier
caused by corrosion of the pawl carrier pivot pin. This proposed AD
would require removing the pawl carrier pivot pins, part number (P/N)
BRR17117, from service and replacing them with parts eligible for
installation. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the fuel
shut-off mechanism, uncontained part release, damage to the engine, and
damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 31, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Docket Management Facility, U.S. Department of

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD 2016-0034, dated February 24, 2016 (referred to hereinafter as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    Seizing of a fuel shut-off mechanism pawl carrier was reported.
The subsequent investigation determined that corrosion of the pawl
carrier pivot pin P/N BRR17117, was the failure cause.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to loss of the fuel
shut-off mechanism functionality and loss of the engine over-speed
protection, possibly resulting in release of high-energy debris,
with consequent damage to, and/or reduced control of the airplane.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-4551.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of
Germany, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the European Community, EASA has
notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of
the same type design. This NPRM would require removing the pawl carrier
pivot pin, P/N BRR17117, from service and replacing with a part
eligible for installation.

Related Service Information

    RRD has issued ASB SB-BR700-72-A101523, Revision 3, dated December
10, 2015. The service information describes procedures for replacing
the pawl carrier pivot pins. 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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 4 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 3
hours per engine to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Required parts cost about $860 per engine. Based
on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed AD on U.S.
operators to be $4,460.

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 to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, 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.
