1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that July 13, 2011, NYSE Amex LLC (``NYSE Amex'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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 self-regulatory organization
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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 17--NYSE Amex Equities to
permit its Routing Broker to operate consistent with the requirements
of SEC Rule 15c3-5.\5\ Specifically, the proposed rule change would
allow the Routing Broker, in its sole discretion, to reject orders
pursuant to risk management

controls and supervisory procedures maintained by the Routing Broker
pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-5. The Exchange is proposing substantially
similar rule changes for its options market, and the Exchange's
affiliates, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'') and NYSE Arca, Inc.
(``NYSE Arca''), also are proposing substantially similar rule
changes.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Rule 13--NYSE Amex Equities defines ``Routing Broker'' as
``the broker-dealer affiliate of the Exchange and/or any other non-
affiliate third-party broker-dealer that acts as a facility of the
Exchange for routing orders entered into Exchange systems to other
market centers for execution whenever such routing is required by
Exchange Rules and Federal securities laws. The Routing Broker(s)
will operate as described in Exchange Rule 17--NYSE Amex Equities.''
    \6\ See SR-NYSEAmex-2011-53 (options), SR-NYSE-2011-34, SR-
NYSEArca-2011-49 (equities), and SR-NYSEArca-2011-50 (options).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Archipelago Securities LLC (``Arca Securities'') currently is the
primary outbound Routing Broker for the Exchange. The outbound routing
function for the Exchange is governed by Rules 13 and 17--NYSE Amex
Equities. Rule 17(c)(1)(A)--NYSE Amex Equities currently provides that
the Routing Broker cannot change the terms of an order or the routing
instructions, nor can it exercise any discretion about where to route
an order.
    On November 3, 2010, the Commission adopted SEC Rule 15c3-5,\7\
pursuant to which, among other things, broker-dealers providing market
access are required to implement certain pre-order entry checks in
order to manage the financial, regulatory, and other risks associated
with providing their customers with market access. In anticipation of
the upcoming July 14, 2011 compliance date for SEC Rule 15c3-5, the
Exchange is proposing to amend Rule 17--NYSE Amex Equities to describe
the manner in which the Routing Broker will handle routable orders
consistent with SEC Rule 15c3-5.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63241 (November 3,
2010), 75 FR 69792 (November 15, 2010) (File No. S7-03-10).
    \8\ The Commission extended the compliance date to November 30,
2011 for all of the requirements for fixed income securities and the
requirements of SEC Rule 15c3-5(c)(1)(i) for all securities. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64748 (June 27, 2011), 76 FR
38293 (June 30, 2011) (File No. S7-03-10).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the Exchange proposes to adopt Rule 17(c)(1)(A)(ii)--
NYSE Amex Equities to provide that, in the Routing Broker's sole
discretion, pursuant to risk management controls and supervisory
procedures maintained by the Routing Broker pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-
5, the Routing Broker may reject any order or series of orders as
necessary to manage the financial, regulatory, and other risks of the
Routing Brokers(s) providing ``market access,'' as that term is defined
in SEC Rule 15c3-5(a)(1).\9\ The Routing Broker's policies and
procedures for compliance with SEC Rule 15c3-5 will address two
circumstances: (1) When the Routing Broker routes orders on behalf of
the Exchange for the purpose of accessing other trading centers with
protected quotations in compliance with Rule 611 of Regulation NMS
under the Act \10\ for ``NMS stocks'' (as that term is defined in Rule
600 of Regulation NMS),\11\ or in compliance with a national market
system plan for listed options (``exempt orders''); and (2) when the
Routing Broker routes orders on behalf of the Exchange for any other
purpose, including pursuant to the terms of an order type adopted by
the Exchange or pursuant to a routing strategy through which the
Routing Broker routes orders to market centers that are not posting
``protected quotations'' (as that term is defined in Rule 600 of
Regulation NMS) \12\ (``non-exempt orders'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The existing text of Rule 17(c)(1)(A)--NYSE Amex Equities
would be renumbered as Rule 17(c)(1)(A)(i)--NYSE Amex Equities.
    \10\ 17 CFR 242.611.
    \11\ 17 CFR 242.600(47).
    \12\ 17 CFR 242.600(58).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to exempt orders, SEC Rule 15c3-5(b) provides that a
broker-dealer that routes orders on behalf of an exchange for the
purpose of accessing other trading centers with protected quotations in
compliance with Rule 611 of Regulation NMS for NMS stocks, or in
compliance with a national market system plan for listed options, is
subject only to the requirements of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rule.
SEC Rule 15c3-5(c)(1)(ii) provides that the risk management controls
and supervisory procedures required by the Rule must include elements
reasonably designed to prevent the entry of erroneous orders, by
rejecting orders that exceed appropriate price or size parameters, on
an order-by-order basis or over a short period of time, or that
indicate duplicative orders. Accordingly, for exempt orders, the
Routing Broker will reject any order or series of orders that it
determines, in its sole discretion, to be erroneous or duplicative.
Currently, the only orders that the Routing Broker routes on behalf of
the Exchange are exempt orders.
    With respect to non-exempt orders, all of the requirements of SEC
Rule 15c3-5 would apply to orders that the Routing Broker routes on
behalf of the Exchange, and the proposed rule change is intended to
provide the Routing Broker with authority to reject such orders as
necessary to comply with SEC Rule 15c3-5, as may be necessary in the
future. In this regard, the risk management controls and supervisory
procedures of the Routing Broker would include, as applicable, controls
to prevent the entry of orders that exceed appropriate pre-set credit
or capital thresholds in the aggregate for each customer and the
broker-dealer and, where appropriate, more finely-tuned by sector,
security, or otherwise by rejecting orders if such orders would exceed
the applicable credit or capital thresholds.\13\ In addition, the risk
management controls and supervisory procedures of the Routing Broker
would be reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable
regulatory requirements.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See 17 CFR 240.15c3-5(c)(1)(i).
    \14\ See 17 CFR 240.15c3-5(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\15\ In particular,
the proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\16\
because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, and,
in general, protect investors and the public interest. The proposed
rule is consistent with the requirements of the Act because the change
is necessary for the Exchange's Routing Broker to comply with SEC Rule
15c3-5. The Exchange also believes that the proposed changes will
benefit member organizations of the Exchange because it provides
clarity on the procedures employed by the Routing Broker consistent
with SEC Rule 15c3-5.

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition 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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time

as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \17\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under 19b-4(f)(6) normally may not
become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.\19\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \20\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may
become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange notes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay will allow Arca Securities to comply
with Rule 15c3-5 under the Act by July 14, 2011; \21\ the compliance
date for Rule 15c3-5. For this reason, the Commission believes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, and designates the proposed rule
change to be operative upon filing with the Commission.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by
the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
    \20\ Id.
    \21\ 17 CFR 240.15c3-5.
    \22\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0068; Directorate Identifier 2010-NE-05-AD;
Amendment 39-16331; AD 2010-12-10]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CF6-45 and
CF6-50 Series Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-45 and CF6-50 series
turbofan engines with certain low-pressure turbine (LPT) rotor stage 3
disks installed. That AD required initial and repetitive borescope
inspections of the high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor stage 1 and stage
2 blades for wear and damage, including excessive airfoil material
loss. That AD also required fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) of
the LPT rotor stage 3 disk under certain conditions and removal of the
disk from service before further flight if found cracked. This ad
requires the same inspections at reduced intervals and additional
borescope inspections. This AD also requires repetitive exhaust gas
temperature (EGT) system checks. This AD results from reports received
of two additional LPT rotor stage 3 disk events. We are issuing this AD
to prevent critical life-limited rotating engine part failure, which
could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the
airplane.

DATES: Effective June 24, 2010.
    We must receive any comments on this AD by August 9, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Use one of the following addresses to comment on this AD.

238-7199.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 by superseding
AD 2010-06-15, Amendment 39-16240 (75 FR 12661, March 17, 2010). That
AD required initial and repetitive borescope inspections of the HPT
rotor stage 1 and stage 2 blades for wear and damage, including
excessive airfoil material loss. That AD also required FPI of the LPT
rotor stage 3 disk under certain conditions and removal of the disk
from service before further flight if found cracked. That AD was the
result of three reports of uncontained failures of LPT rotor stage 3
disks and eight reports of cracked LPT rotor stage 3 disks found during
shop visit inspections. That condition, if not corrected, could result
in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2010-06-15 Was Issued

    Since AD 2010-06-15 was issued, we received reports of two
additional LPT rotor stage 3 disk events, bringing the total number of
events to five. Additionally, the National Transportation Safety Board
issued Safety Recommendations A-10-98 through A-10-101. These
recommendations include performing a borescope inspection of the HPT
rotor blades more frequently than was originally required in AD 2010-
06-15.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    The unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or
develop on other GE CF6-45 and CF6-50 series turbofan engines of the
same type design. For that reason, we are issuing this AD to prevent
critical life-limited rotating engine part failure, which could result
in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane. This AD
requires initial and repetitive borescope inspections of the HPT rotor
stage 1 and stage 2 blades. This AD also requires additional borescope
inspections and FPI of the LPT rotor stage 3 disk, depending on the
results of the borescope inspection. This AD also requires repetitive
EGT system checks.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate
adoption of this AD, we have found that notice and opportunity for
public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable, and that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Interim Action

    These actions are interim actions and we may take further
rulemaking actions in the future.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment; however, we invite you to send us any written relevant data,
views, or arguments regarding this AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2010-0068; Directorate
Identifier 2010-NE-05-AD'' in the subject line of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might suggest a need
to modify it.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact
with FAA personnel concerning this AD. Using the search function of the
Web site, anyone can find and read the comments in any

of our dockets, including, if provided, the name of the individual who
sent the comment (or signed the comment on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). You may review the DOT's complete Privacy
Act Statement in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (65
FR 19477-78).

Examining the AD Docket

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

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 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 the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type
Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership
(CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) 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 Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-
500-1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a design review
that identified the fixed emergency locator transmitter (ELT) lithium
batteries would not be sufficiently cooled by the outside air in the
event of a thermal runaway event. This proposed AD would require
replacing the ELT with a new ELT with redesigned batteries, as
specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is proposed for incorporation
by reference (IBR). 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 October 23,
2023.

Background

    Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued Transport Canada AD CF-2023-31, dated May 8, 2023 (Transport
Canada AD CF-2023-31) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model
BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states a design review
identified that the fixed ELT lithium batteries would not be
sufficiently cooled by the outside air in the event of a thermal
runaway event. As a result, a thermal runaway could lead to an
uncontrolled fire of the fixed ELT, which may compromise the structural
integrity of the aircraft structure in the area where the fixed ELT is
installed.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at
regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2023-1817.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Transport Canada AD CF-2023-31 specifies procedures for replacing
the fixed ELT with an ELT with improved batteries that do not rely on
cooling from the outside. The replacement includes modifying two
electrical harnesses and installing a new ELT support assembly, ELT,
and aircraft identification module (AIM). This material is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in 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
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in Transport Canada AD CF-2023-31 described previously, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate Transport Canada AD CF-2023-31 by reference
in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require
compliance with Transport Canada AD CF-2023-31 in its entirety through
that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Service information
required by Transport Canada AD CF-2023-31 for compliance will be
available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2023-1817 after the
FAA final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 71 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 work-hours x $85 per hour = $1,615........................         $12,804          $14,419       $1,023,749
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected operators.

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.

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0185]

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement: Safe Parameters
for Ice Operations

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is announcing its intent to enter into a
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with W.L. GORE
and Associates Inc. (GORE) to conduct insulation value testing for the
Coast Guard's Maritime Cold Weather Suit System (MCWSS) in the air
instead of the water, which the system was designed for. While the
Coast Guard is currently considering partnering with GORE, we are
soliciting public comment on the possible nature of and participation
of other parties in the proposed CRADA. In addition, the Coast Guard
also invites other potential non-Federal participants, who have the
interest and capability to bring similar contributions to this type of
research, to consider submitting proposals for consideration in similar
CRADAs.

DATES: Comments must be submitted to the online docket via http://www.regulations.gov on or before May 21, 2018.
    Synopses of proposals regarding future CRADAs must reach the Coast
Guard (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) on or before May 21, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments online at http://www.regulations.gov
following website instructions.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this notice
or wish to submit proposals for future CRADAs, contact LT Ryan Huebner,

(see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). Documents mentioned in this
notice, and all public comments, are in our online docket at http://www.regulations.gov and can be viewed by following that website's
instructions. Additionally, if you go to the online docket and sign up
for email alerts, you will be notified when comments are posted or a
final rule is published.
    If desired, submit detailed proposals for future CRADAs directly to
the Coast Guard (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).

Discussion

    CRADAs are authorized under 15 U.S.C. 3710(a).\1\ A CRADA promotes
the transfer of technology to the private sector for commercial use, as
well as specified research or development efforts that are consistent
with the mission of the Federal parties to the CRADA. The Federal party
or parties agree with one or more non-Federal parties to share research
resources, but the Federal party does not contribute funding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The statute confers this authority on the head of each
Federal agency. The Secretary of DHS's authority is delegated to the
Coast Guard and other DHS organizational elements by DHS Delegation
No. 0160.1, para. II.B.34.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CRADAs are not procurement contracts. Care is taken to ensure that
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the contracting process. CRADAs have
a specific purpose and should not be confused with procurement
contracts, grants, and other type of agreements.
    Under the proposed CRADA, the R&D Center will collaborate with one
non-Federal participant. Together, the R&D Center and the non-Federal
participant will conduct thermo conductive tests on the Coast Guard's
MWCSS in various environmental scenarios to determine the system's
insulation properties to be used to create safe parameters for
personnel wearing the MWCSS during Ice Rescue missions.
    We anticipate that the Coast Guard's contributions under the
proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) Provide appropriate staff with pertinent expertise to take the
lead in accomplishing the required tasks;
    (2) Provide information regarding the ensemble items and parameters
needed for creating the test plan;
    (3) Provide all support resources, including travel, for Coast
Guard staff that supports this CRADA;
    (4) Obtain, transport and provide all of the ensemble items to be
used during the testing;
    (5) Provide personnel support to non-Federal participant to assist
with setting up and execute testing in accordance with the agreed upon
test plan;
    (6) Work with non-Federal participant to develop a Final Report,
which will document the methodologies, findings, conclusions, and
recommendations of this CRADA work.
    We anticipate that the non-Federal participants' contributions
under the proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) Provide appropriate staff with pertinent expertise to support
the above mentioned tasks;
    (2) Provide all necessary facility resources needed to conduct
insulation value testing;
    (3) Provide technical approach for the test plan;
    (4) Lead the testing runs of the Coast Guard's MWCSS in accordance
with the agreed upon test plan;
    (5) Provide test data upon completion of testing.
    The Coast Guard reserves the right to select for CRADA participants
all, some,

or no proposals submitted for this CRADA. The Coast Guard will provide
no funding for reimbursement of proposal development costs. Proposals
and any other material submitted in response to this notice will not be
returned. Proposals submitted are expected to be unclassified and have
not more than five single-sided pages (excluding cover page, DD 1494,
JF-12, etc.). The Coast Guard will select proposals at its sole
discretion on the basis of:
    (1) How well they communicate an understanding, of and ability to
meet, the proposed CRADA's goal; and
    (2) How well they address the following criteria:
    (a) Technical capability to support the non-Federal party
contributions described, and
    (b) Resources available for supporting the non-Federal party
contributions described.
    Currently, the Coast Guard is considering GORE for participation in
this CRADA. This consideration is based on the fact that GORE has
demonstrated its technical ability and availability of appropriate
facilities to effectively determine insulation properties of clothing.
However, we do not wish to exclude other viable participants from this
or future similar CRADAs.
    This is a technology assessment effort. The goal of the Coast Guard
for this CRADA is to determine the insulation properties of the Coast
Guard's MWCSS in the air instead of the water which the system was
designed for. Special consideration will be given to small business
firms/consortia, and preference will be given to business units located
in the U.S. This notice is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C.
552(a).

    Dated: April 10, 2018.

39-19748; AD 2019-19-12]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-10-07
for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) Model S-76C helicopters.
AD 2018-10-07 required inspecting the engine collective position
transducer (CPT). This new AD retains the requirements of AD 2018-10-07
and expands the applicability. This AD is prompted by the determination
that an additional part-numbered engine CPT is affected by the same
unsafe condition.

The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2018-10-07, Amendment 39-19282 (83 FR
23355, May 21, 2018) (``AD 2018-10-07''). AD 2018-10-07 applied to
Sikorsky Model S-76C helicopters with a Turbomeca, S.A., Arriel 2S1 or
Arriel 2S2 engine with an engine CPT part number (P/N) 76900-01821-104
installed. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 23, 2019
(84 FR 23740). The NPRM was prompted by the determination that an
additional part-numbered CPT is affected by the same unsafe condition
identified in AD 2018-10-07. The NPRM proposed to retain all of the
requirements of AD 2018-10-07, which required initial and recurring
inspections of each CPT by measuring resistance, linearity resistance
movement, and differential voltage, and depending on the outcome of the
inspections, replacing the CPT. The NPRM also proposed to add engine
CPT P/N 76900-01821-105 to the applicability. The FAA is issuing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Comments

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

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed; however,
since issuance of the NPRM, Sikorsky issued Maintenance Manual, SA
4047-76C-2, Temporary Revision 73-10, dated June 25, 2019 (TR 73-10),
to update Sikorsky Maintenance Manual, SA 4047-76C-2, Temporary
Revision No. 73-08, dated September 20, 2017 (TR 73-08). The NPRM
proposed to require completing certain corrective actions with TR 73-
08. This final rule includes the option to use TR 73-10 for those
corrective actions instead.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Sikorsky S-76 Helicopter Alert Service Bulletin
76-73-8, Revision A, dated December 4, 2015 (ASB 76-73-8A), which
specifies a one-time inspection of total resistance, linearity
resistant movement, excitation voltage, and differential voltage of the
CPTs using CPT Text Box P/N 76700-40009-042. The FAA also reviewed
Sikorsky Maintenance Manual, SA 4047-76C-2, Temporary Revision No. 73-
07, dated August 17, 2016 (TR 73-07), which specifies procedures for
removing, installing, and adjusting the CPTs, and inspections of total
resistance, linearity resistant movement, excitation voltage, and
differential voltage of the CPTs. TR 73-07 also divides the procedures
by CPT Test Box P/N by providing separate procedures for test boxes
modified by Sikorsky Special Service Instructions (SSI) No. 76-96,
dated August 19, 2016, which is not incorporated by reference in this
AD.
    Additionally, the FAA reviewed TR 73-08, which updates procedures
in TR 73-07. TR 73-08 does not divide the procedures by CPT Test Box P/
N as it eliminates the procedures for CPT Text Box P/N 76700-40009-042.
TR 73-08 omits obsolete figures and it provides inspection results as
pass or fail.
    Finally, the FAA reviewed TR 73-10, which updates procedural steps
and graphics in TR 73-08.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Sikorsky S-76 Helicopter ASB 76-73-8, Basic Issue,
dated August 21, 2015 (ASB 76-73-8). ASB 76-73-8 contains the same
procedures as ASB 76-73-8A; however, ASB 76-73-8A updates Sikorsky's
contact information for submitting a purchase order.
    The FAA also reviewed Sikorsky SA 4047-76C-2-1, Temporary Revision
No. 5-181, dated August 21, 2015 (TR 5-181); Task 5-20-00 of Sikorsky
Airworthiness Limitations and Inspection Requirements, Publication No.
SA 4047-76C-2-1, Revision 24, dated December 15, 2015 (Task 5-20-00);
and Section 73-22-04 of Chapter 73 Engine Fuel and Control, of Sikorsky
Maintenance Manual, SA 4047-76C-2, Revision 31, dated December 15, 2015
(Section 73-22-04). TR 5-181 specifies adding CPT inspections
referenced in Section 73-22-04 to the 300-hour inspection checklist
contained in Task 5-20-00.
    The FAA also reviewed Sikorsky Safety Advisory No. SSA-S76-11-0002,
dated May 17, 2011. This service information provides precautionary
instructions to minimize hazardous situations that might result from an
unreliable CPT.
    The FAA also reviewed Sikorsky SSI No. 76-96, dated August 19,
2016, which specifies procedures to modify CPT Test Box P/N 76700-
40009-042 and re-identify it as P/N 76700-40009-043. This one-time
modification reduces the instructions to inspect the CPT and improves
the inspection accuracy.
    The FAA also reviewed Sikorsky SSI No. 76-87, dated July 24, 2015,
and SSI No. 76-87A, Revision A, dated August 21, 2015. These SSIs
specify a one-time

inspection of total resistance, linearity resistant movement,
excitation voltage, and differential voltage of the CPTs using CPT Text
Box P/N 76700-40009-042.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD interim action. The design approval
holder is currently developing a terminating action that will address
the unsafe condition identified in this AD. Once this action is
developed, approved, and available, the FAA might consider additional
rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 115 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. The FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85
per work-hour.
    The inspections take about 3.75 work-hours for an estimated cost of
$319 per helicopter and $36,685 for the U.S. fleet per inspection
cycle. Replacing a CPT takes about 6 work-hours and parts cost $3,072
for an estimated replacement cost of $3,582.

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