Proposed Approval of the Central Characterization Project's
Remote-Handled Transuranic Waste Characterization Program at General
Electric Vallecitos Nuclear Center

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of availability; opening of public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is
announcing the availability of, and soliciting public comments for 45
days on, the proposed approval of the radioactive, remote-handled (RH),
transuranic (TRU) waste characterization program implemented by the
Central Characterization Project (CCP) at General Electric Vallecitos
Nuclear Center in Sunol, California. This waste is intended for
disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico.
    In accordance with the WIPP Compliance Criteria, EPA evaluated the
characterization of RH TRU debris waste from GEVNC-CCP during an
inspection conducted on December 2-4, 2008. Using the systems and
processes developed as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's)
Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) program, EPA verified whether DOE could
adequately characterize RH TRU waste, consistent with the Compliance
Criteria. The results of EPA's evaluation of GEVNC-CCP's RH program and
its proposed approval are described in the Agency's inspection report,
which is available for review in the public dockets listed in
ADDRESSES. We will consider public comments received on or before the
due date mentioned in DATES.
    This notice summarizes the waste characterization processes
evaluated by EPA and EPA's proposed approval. As required by the 40 CFR
194.8, at the end of a 45-day comment period EPA will evaluate public
comments received, and if appropriate, finalize the reports responding
to the relevant public comments, and issue a final report and approval
letter to DOE.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 7, 2009.

II. Background

    DOE is developing the WIPP, near Carlsbad in southeastern New
Mexico, as a deep geologic repository for disposal of TRU radioactive
waste. As defined by the WIPP Land Withdrawal Act (LWA) of 1992 (Pub.
L. No. 102-579), as amended (Pub. L. No. 104-201), TRU waste consists
of materials with radionuclides that have atomic numbers greater than
92 (with half-lives greater than twenty years), in concentrations
greater than 100 nanocuries of alpha-emitting TRU isotopes per gram of
waste. Much of the existing TRU waste consists of items contaminated
during the production of nuclear weapons, such as rags, equipment,
tools, and sludges.
    TRU waste is itself divided into two categories, based on its level
of radioactivity. Contact-handled (CH) TRU waste accounts for about 97
percent of the volume of TRU waste currently destined for the WIPP. It
is packaged in 55-gallon metal drums or in metal boxes and can be
handled under controlled conditions without any shielding beyond the
container itself. The maximum radiation dose at the surface of a CH TRU
waste container is 200 millirems per hour. CH waste primarily emits
alpha particles that are easily shielded by a sheet of paper or the
outer layer of a person's skin.
    Remote-handled (RH) TRU waste emits more radiation than CH TRU
waste and must therefore be both handled and transported in specially
shielded containers. Surface radiation levels of unshielded containers
of remote-handled transuranic waste exceed 200 millirems per hour. RH
waste primarily emits gamma radiation, which is very penetrating and
requires concrete, lead, or steel to block it.
    On May 13, 1998, EPA issued a final certification of compliance for
the WIPP facility. The final rule was published in the Federal Register
on May 18, 1998 (63 FR 27354). EPA officially recertified WIPP on March
29, 2006 (71 FR 18015). Both the certification and recertification
determined that WIPP complies with the Agency's radioactive waste
disposal regulations at 40 CFR part 191, subparts B and C, and is
therefore safe to contain TRU waste.
    The final WIPP certification decision includes conditions that (1)
prohibit shipment of TRU waste for disposal at WIPP from any site other
than the Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL) until the EPA
determines that the site has established and executed a quality
assurance program, in accordance with 194.22(a)(2)(i), 194.24(c)(3),
and 194.24(c)(5) for waste characterization activities and assumptions
(Condition 2 of Appendix A to 40 CFR part 194); and (2) (with the
exception of specific, limited waste streams and equipment at LANL)
prohibit shipment of TRU waste for disposal at WIPP (from LANL or any
other site) until EPA has approved the procedures developed to comply
with the waste characterization requirements of 194.22(c)(4) (Condition
3 of Appendix A to 40 CFR part 194). The EPA's approval process for
waste generator sites is described in Section 194.8 (revised July
2004).
    Condition 3 of the WIPP Certification Decision requires EPA to
conduct independent inspections at DOE's waste generator/storage sites
of their TRU waste characterization capabilities before approving their
program and the waste for disposal at the WIPP. EPA's inspection and
approval process gives EPA (a) discretion in establishing technical
priorities, (b) the ability to accommodate variation in the site's
waste characterization capabilities, and (c) flexibility in scheduling
site waste characterization inspections.
    As described in Section 194.8(b), EPA's baseline inspections
evaluate each waste characterization process component (equipment,
procedures, and personnel training/experience) for its adequacy and
appropriateness in characterizing TRU waste destined for disposal at
WIPP. During an inspection, the site demonstrates its capabilities to
characterize TRU waste(s) and its ability to comply with the regulatory
limits and tracking requirements under 194.24. A baseline inspection
may describe any limitations on approved waste streams or waste
characterization processes [Sec.  194.8(b)(2)(iii)]. In addition, a
baseline inspection approval must specify what subsequent waste
characterization program changes or expansion should be reported to EPA
[Sec.  194.8(b)(4)]. The Agency is required to assign Tier 1 (T1) and
Tier 2 (T2) designations to the reportable changes depending on their
potential impact on data quality. A T1 designation requires that the
site must notify EPA of proposed changes to the approved components of
an individual waste characterization process (such as radioassay
equipment or personnel), and EPA must also approve the change

before it can be implemented. A waste characterization element with a
T2 designation allows the site to implement changes to the approved
components of individual waste characterization processes (such as
visual examination procedures) but requires EPA notification. The
Agency may choose to inspect the site to evaluate technical adequacy
before approval. EPA inspections conducted to evaluate T1 or T2 changes
are follow-up inspections under the authority of Sec.  194.24(h). In
addition to the follow-up inspections, if warranted, EPA may opt to
conduct continued compliance inspections at TRU waste sites with a
baseline approval under the authority of Sec.  194.24(h).
    The site inspection and approval process outlined in Sec.  194.8
requires EPA to issue a Federal Register notice proposing the baseline
compliance decision, docket the inspection report for public review,
and seek public comment on the proposed decision for a period of 45
days. The report must describe the waste characterization processes EPA
inspected at the site, as well as their compliance with Sec.  194.24
requirements.

III. Proposed Baseline Compliance Decision

    EPA has performed a baseline inspection of RH TRU waste
characterization activities at GEVNC-CCP (EPA Inspection No. EPA-GEVNC-
CCP-RH-12.08-8). The purpose of EPA's inspection was to verify that the
waste characterization program implemented at GEVNC-CCP for
characterizing RH TRU, retrievably-stored, debris waste is technically
adequate and meets the regulatory requirements at 40 CFR 194.24.
    The RH waste that DOE is proposing for WIPP disposal is from the
decontamination and demolition (D&D) of Hot Cell 4 in Building 102 at
GEVNC between 2008 and 2009. The hot cells were used primarily for non-
destructive examination of fuel materials and the production of
radionuclide sources. The examinations consisted mainly of post-
irradiation examination (PIE) of uranium fuel and reactor components
until 1982. Since then, the hot cell has been used for the production
of radionuclide sources.
    Initially, CCP was not prepared for the EPA inspection and did not
provide sufficient objective evidence for the Agency's evaluation
during the inspection. This resulted in EPA identifying several
significant issues. EPA concluded that the inspection could not be
completed and that extensive documentation revisions were necessary. In
early 2009, CCP provided revised documentation in the form of
additional technical information and objective evidence in response to
the outstanding issues EPA had identified previously. These are
discussed in EPA's GEVNC Inspection Report (EPA DOCKET NO: A-98-49, II-
A4-113) available in the regulatory docket accompanying this FR notice.
    The inspection scope covered only one RH waste stream (GEVNC.01);
no additional RH TRU waste is to be generated during the D&D of the Hot
Cell 4. This inspection's focus was to evaluate the acceptable
knowledge (AK) records that had been assembled to document RH TRU WC
activities, in conjunction with the development of scaling factors,
dose-to-curie (DTC) and visual examination (VE) to confirm physical and
radiological contents of individual TRU RH debris waste containers, and
the use of the WIPP Waste Information System (WWIS) to report and track
waste information. This inspection was similar to previous EPA
inspections of CCP WC activities at RH waste sites (see Air Docket Nos.
A-98-49, II-A4-72; A-98-49, II-A4-73; A-98-49, II-A4-96; A-98-49, II-
A4-104; and A-98-49, II-A4-111). Today's proposed baseline approval,
therefore, is limited to one retrievably-stored RH TRU debris waste
stream (GEVNC.01).
    The EPA inspection team identified one finding and five concerns
related to WC processes GEVNC-CCP implemented to characterize RH debris
waste (see Attachments B.1 through B.6 of the accompanying inspection
report). GEVNC-CCP revised a number of specific documents to address
the EPA finding and concerns.
    After reviewing the documents provided by DOE through early 2009,
EPA determined that the GEVNC-CCP RH WC program was technically
adequate and that all concerns have been resolved. Therefore, EPA is
proposing to approve the following GEVNC-CCP RH WC program components
implemented to characterize GEVNC RH Waste Stream GEVNC.01 only:

(1) The AK process for the RH TRU debris waste stream designated as
Waste Stream GEVNC.01 generated during the D&D of Hot Cell 4
(2) The radiological characterization process using DTC and scaling
factors for assigning radionuclide values to Waste Stream GEVNC.01 that
is documented in CCP-AK-GEV-501, Revision 1, as supported by the
revised calculation packages and detailed in EPA's GEVNC Inspection
Report mentioned above
(3) The VE process to identify waste material parameters (WMPs) and the
physical form of the waste
(4) The WWIS to submit data for both characterization and certification
for RH TRU waste
(5) The attainment of pertinent data quality objectives (DQOs)

    Since all the RH waste at GEVNC is only one debris waste stream
from D&D activities, no Tier 1 (T1) changes for the EPA-evaluated waste
characterization components are needed. No additional RH TRU debris
waste streams requiring characterization by CCP for disposal at the
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant will be generated. Following an EPA
inspection, CCP and other TRU sites routinely revise WC procedures as
additional waste containers are characterized and waste-related
information is generated. EPA refers to these changes as Tier 2 (T2)
changes that require EPA review at regular intervals. The waste stream
at GEVNC to be disposed of at the WIPP is of limited volume, and as of
the date of this proposed report, more than 75% of the waste has been
characterized and packaged. Soon after the CBFO issues a certification,
all of the RH TRU waste will be disposed. No additional RH debris waste
characterization will occur once the debris from D&D activity is
characterized and disposed of at WIPP. The quarterly notification of T2
changes required of other waste characterization sites is not
applicable to GEVNC-CCP. In lieu of a quarterly T2 changes submission,
however, a one-time T2 information submission to EPA will be necessary.
Therefore, no later than four weeks after the last shipment of RH
debris waste from the site, GEVNC-CCP must provide applicable T2
changes included in Table 1 below to EPA for review.
    GEVNC has indicated that a small quantity of debris from the D&D
operation may qualify as contact-handled (CH) TRU debris (i.e., not
meeting the external dose rate criterion for RH TRU). It is expected
that GEVNC-CCP will ship these CH debris containers to CCP at the Idaho
National Laboratory (INL-CCP) for characterization as CH waste prior to
disposal at the WIPP. EPA notification prior to shipment concerning
these CH waste containers is necessary. In addition, upon
characterizing these GEVNC CH containers, INL-CCP must provide EPA
documentation on how CH container-specific AK information was handled,
non destructive assay (NDA) data on the individual drums, and other
supporting information, as appropriate.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

Food Safety Research; Investigations Focused on Promoting the
Safety of Produce

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA-Center for Food Safety
and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN)) is announcing the availability of
approximately $1.0 million in research funds for fiscal year (FY) 2008.
It is anticipated that individual grants will receive a total of
$250,000 to $500,000 to cover both direct and indirect costs. These
funds will be used to support research efforts to advance the safe
transportation and preparation of produce and to help reduce the
incidence of foodborne illness that may be associated with fresh
produce consumption. The award will provide 18 months of support. There
will be no additional years of noncompetitive continuation support. A
copy of the full text of this announcement will be posted in Grants.gov
and on FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Web site at
http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/list.html.
    Key Dates: Receipt Date: Applications are due within 90 days after
the publication of the funding opportunity in the Federal Register.

I. Funding Opportunity Description

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Food Safety and
Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) maintains an active intramural research
program. This research is focused on five primary CFSAN program
priorities; ensuring the safety of food, dietary, supplements and
cosmetics; improving nutrition; and promoting the security and
integrity of the food supply. When resources permit, CFSAN supports
extramural research grants intended to help advance these program
priorities. The extramural program endeavors to support novel research
efforts, expertise, and resources not found within CFSAN. In
particular, it is intended that any additional extramural research
efforts in food safety will complement the Center's intramural research
efforts, and generally enhance the Agency's and the Nation's ability to
reduce the incidence of food borne illness and protect the integrity of
the nation's food supply.
    Applications submitted in response to this Request for Application
must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov (http://
www.grants.gov) using the SF 424 Research and Related (R&R forms and
the SF 424 (R&R) Application Guide.) Paper applications will not be
accepted.

Project Emphasis

    FDA is announcing the availability of competitively awarded funding
for FY 2008 to be used for research intended to help enhance produce
safety. Proposed projects designed to fulfill the specific objectives
of either of the following requested project topic categories will be
considered for funding. Applications may address only one project and
its objectives per application. It should be noted that CFSAN will
place greater value on those proposals addressing the objectives in a
manner that will lead to practical solutions, which, if implemented,
will help improve the safety of prepared and consumed fresh-cut
produce. No proposed projects should involve human research subjects.

A. Project Topic Category 1

    Conduct laboratory based studies assessing the handling of fresh-
cut produce by consumers that may compromise the microbiological safety
of the product prior to its consumption. Quantifiable information is
being sought regarding the consequences of typical consumer handling
behaviors that compromise fresh produce safety and about practical
alterations in consumer behaviors that may be easily employed to
improve the safety of the product they eat. These must be laboratory
based studies and not consumer behavioral studies involving human
subjects.

B. Project Topic Category 2

    Identify and assess problem(s) that occur during the transportation
of fresh produce between producer processing facilities and point of
retail sale to the consumer. The research may focus on an individual
problem and its impact on a single commodity or a group of commodities.
Alternatively, the research may focus on a set of related or
interdependent problems and their impact on a single commodity or a
group of commodities. It is expected the research effort will provide
practical solutions that can be used to enhance product safety and
integrity during the transportation phase of its production.

II. Award Information

Mechanism of Support

    This Request for Application will use the Research Project Grant
R01 award mechanism. The applicant will be solely responsible for
planning, directing, and executing the proposed project. FDA will
support the competitively awarded grants under the authority of section

Extension:
    Securities Rule 477; OMB Control No. 3235-0550, SEC File No. 270-
493.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 477 (17 CFR 230.477) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) sets forth procedures for withdrawing a
registration statement, including any amendments or exhibits to the
registration statement. The rule provides that if an issuer intends to
rely on the safe harbor contained in Securities Act Rule 155 to conduct
an unregistered private offering of securities, the issuer must
affirmatively state in the withdrawal application that it plans to
undertake a subsequent private offering of its securities. Without this
statement, the Commission would not be able to monitor a company's
reliance on, and compliance with, Securities Act Rule 155(c). All
information submitted to the Commission under Securities Act Rule 477
is available to the public for review. Information provided under
Securities Act Rule 477 is mandatory. The information is required on
occasion. We estimate that approximately 300 issuers will file
Securities Act Rule 477 submissions annually at an estimated one hour
per response for a total annual burden of approximately 300 hours. We
estimate that 100% of the reporting burden is prepared by the issuer.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov.

Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

proposed rule change SR-OCC-2015-013 pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\2\ The proposed rule change was published for comment in
the Federal Register on June 26, 2015.\3\ The Commission did not
receive any comments on the proposed rule change. This order approves
the proposed rule change.

80 FR 36867 (June 26, 2015) (SR-OCC-2015-013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Description

    According to OCC, it is amending Rule 1001(a) to codify the
Commission's recent approval of and non-objection to procedures for
resizing the clearing fund on a monthly basis and increasing such
clearing fund size on an intra-month basis to ensure OCC maintains
sufficient financial resources consistent with

regulatory requirements (``Procedures'').\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74980 (May 15,
2015), 80 FR 29364 (May 21, 2015) (SR-OCC-2015-009) and Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 74981 (May 15, 2015), 80 FR 29367 (May 21,
2015) (SR-OCC-2015-811). OCC recently amended the Procedures. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 75255 (June 22, 2015), 80 FR
36869 (June 26, 2015) (SR-OCC-2015-012) (changing the method by
which certain dashboard reports are distributed).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, OCC recently adopted the Procedures which, according
to OCC, are designed to clarify for clearing members and market
participants the manner in which OCC would resize the clearing fund on
a monthly basis and, if necessary, collect additional financial
resources through intra-day margin calls and intra-month increases of
the clearing fund.\5\ According to OCC, under the Procedures, OCC
continues to size the clearing fund on the first business day of each
month, with the clearing fund size equal to a base amount and an
additional prudential margin of safety determined by OCC, currently set
at $1.8 billion. The base amount is equal to the peak five-day rolling
average of clearing fund draws \6\ observed over the preceding three
calendar months. Under the Procedures, OCC must issue an intra-day
margin call in the event that a projected draw on the clearing fund
under stress tests conducted by OCC exceeds 75% of the then-current
size of OCC's clearing fund. In addition, OCC must increase the size of
the clearing fund intra-month where a projected draw, after taking into
account intra-day margin collected under the Procedures, exceeds 90% of
the then-current size of the clearing fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Id.
    \6\ According to OCC, clearing fund draws are the amounts that
OCC would have been required to draw against the clearing fund under
the daily idiosyncratic default and minor systemic default scenario
calculations conducted by OCC (i.e., the amount of projected losses
not covered by margin deposits or deposits in lieu of margin).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to OCC, it is amending Rule 1001(a) to codify, in
accordance with the Procedures, the process by which such clearing fund
size: (i) Is determined and set on a monthly basis, and (ii) may be
increased on an intra-month basis. OCC believes that the proposed rule
change provides greater transparency to clearing members and other
market participants, because OCC's practices with regard to the monthly
sizing of the clearing fund and OCC's ability to increase the clearing
fund intra-month in accordance with the Procedures would be codified in
the text of Rule 1001(a).

II. Discussion and Commission Findings

    Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act \7\ directs the Commission to
approve a proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements
of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such
organization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \8\ and Rule 17Ad-22(b)(3) of the
Act.\9\ Rule 17Ad-22(b)(3) of the Act requires OCC to establish,
implement, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to maintain sufficient financial resources to
withstand, at a minimum, a default by the participant family to which
it has the largest exposure in extreme but plausible market
conditions.\10\ OCC is amending Rule 1001(a) to reflect the process by
which OCC determines its clearing fund size on a monthly basis and
increases its clearing fund size on an intra-month basis. As stated
above, OCC already adopted Procedures that reflect this change.\11\ By
amending Rule 1001(a) to codify the Procedures, as described above, and
thus permitting OCC to take action pursuant to the Procedures, OCC
should be able to be more responsive to sudden increases in exposure
and less sensitive to short-run reductions in exposure that could
inappropriately reduce the overall size of the clearing fund. As a
result, OCC should be in a better position to maintain sufficient
financial resources to withstand, at a minimum, a default by the
participant family to which it has the largest exposure in extreme but
plausible market conditions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(b)(3).
    \10\ Id.
    \11\ See supra note 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For these same reasons, OCC's rule change is consistent with
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act,\12\ which requires, in part, that the
rules of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and to
assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the
custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible. By maintaining financial resources in this manner, OCC is
less likely to be subject to disruptions in its operations as a result
of a default of a participant family, thereby facilitating the prompt
and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and
assuring the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the
custody or control of OCC or for which it is responsible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Conclusion

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the
proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act and in
particular with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \13\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\14\ that the proposed rule change (SR-OCC-2015-013) be, and it
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series

Boeing Material Specification (BMS) 8-39 flexible urethane foam were
found during a routine inspection. This AD requires an inspection for
foam insulation on the dripshield above the overhead panel support
structure and replacement if necessary. For certain airplanes, this AD
also requires replacement of foam insulation on the overhead panel
support structure. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing Company
Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2018 (83 FR 8199).
The NPRM was prompted by reports that additional areas of BMS 8-39
flexible urethane foam were found during a routine inspection. The NPRM
proposed to require an inspection for foam insulation on the dripshield
above the overhead panel support structure and replacement if
necessary. For certain airplanes, the NPRM also proposed to require
replacement of foam insulation on the overhead panel support structure.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents the comments received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment. Boeing and United Airlines
stated that they supported the NPRM.

Request To Correct a Typo in the Service Information

    Delta Airlines (DAL) requested that we correct a typo in Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-0621, Revision 1, dated
August 4, 2017. DAL stated that during its review of Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-0621, Revision 1, dated August 4,
2017, it found a typo in the instructions in step 4 of figures 1 and 3
in the ``More Data'' column. DAL stated that the instructions refer to
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) chapter ``777 AMM 23-92-02,'' but the
correct chapter should be ``777 AMM 23-93-02.''
    We agree with the commenter that there is a typo in Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-0621, Revision 1, dated August 4,
2017. The correct reference should be ``777 AMM 23-93-02.'' However,
the typo is not in an ``RC'' (required for compliance) step in Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-0621, Revision 1, dated
August 4, 2017, and the AMM is provided only as a reference in Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-0621, Revision 1, dated
August 4, 2017. Therefore, we have not changed this 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
this final rule as proposed, except for minor editorial changes. We
have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-0621,
Revision 1, dated August 4, 2017. This service information describes
procedures for a general visual inspection for foam insulation on the
dripshield above the overhead panel support structure and replacement
if necessary. This service information also describes procedures for
replacement of foam insulation on the overhead panel support structure.
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 AD affects 132 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or
develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2018-14-02 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-19322; Docket No. FAA-
2018-0115; Product Identifier 2017-NM-110-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective August 13, 2018.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -
300, and -300ER series airplanes, certificated in any category, as
identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-0621,
Revision 1, dated August 4, 2017.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 25, Equipment/
furnishings.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports that additional areas of Boeing
Material Specification (BMS) 8-39 flexible urethane foam were found
during a routine inspection pursuant to a previously issued AD. The
degradation of the foam over time increases the potential for an
uncontrolled fire below the passenger compartment floor and other
locations outside the areas covered by smoke detection and fire
protection systems. We are issuing this AD to address BMS 8-39
flexible urethane foam found in certain areas of an airplane, which,
if exposed to an ignition source, could cause loss of control of the
airplane during a fire.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Inspection and Replacement of Foam Installation

    Except as required by paragraph (h) of this AD: At the
applicable times specified in paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-0621, Revision 1,
dated August 4, 2017, do all applicable actions identified as ``RC''
(required for compliance) in, and in accordance with, the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 777-25-0621, Revision 1, dated August 4, 2017.

(h) Exception to Service Information Specifications

    For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of
this AD: Where Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-
0621, Revision 1, dated August 4, 2017, uses the phrase ``the
original issue date of this service bulletin,'' this AD requires
using ``the effective date of this AD.''

(i) Credit for Previous Actions

    This paragraph provides credit for the corresponding actions
specified in paragraph (g) of this AD, if those actions were
performed before the effective date of this AD using Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-0621, dated December 10, 2014.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Seattle ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority to
approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found
in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request
to your principal inspector or local Flight Standards District
Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to the
manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of the
person identified in paragraph (k)(1) of this AD. Information may be
emailed to: [email protected].
    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Seattle ACO Branch, to make those findings. To be approved,
the repair method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation
must meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval
must specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) For service information that contains steps that are labeled
as RC, the provisions of paragraphs (j)(4)(i) and (j)(4)(ii) of this
AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.
