14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0444; Project Identifier MCAI-2020-01601-T]
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 reports of wear
damage found between the bonding clamps and the fuel feed tubes inside
the left- and right-hand fuel tanks. This proposed AD would require
repetitive inspections of the fuel feed tubes for damage, replacement
if necessary, and modification of the fuel feed line installation
inside the left- and right-hand fuel tanks, which would terminate the
repetitive inspections, as specified in a Transport Canada Civil
Aviation (TCCA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference.
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 July 12,
2021.

Background

    TCCA, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued TCCA
AD CF-2019-19R1, issued November 1, 2019 (TCCA AD CF-2019-19R1) (also
referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Canada
Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes.
    This proposed AD was prompted by reports of wear damage found
between the bonding clamps and the fuel feed tubes inside the left- and
right-hand fuel tanks. In one incident, the wear damage resulted in a
hole in the main engine feed tube located in the collector tank, and
subsequent fuel imbalance during flight. Service experience indicates
that a number of fuel feed tubes inside both of the fuel tanks are
exposed to chafing damage, which may lead to failure of the fuel feed
tube. The FAA is proposing this AD to address failure of certain fuel
feed tubes, which could lead to a severe fuel imbalance or fuel
starvation of one engine, or in the event of the failure of multiple
fuel tubes feeding both engines, could result in an in-flight shutdown
of both engines. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    TCCA AD CF-2019-19R1 describes procedures for repetitive
inspections of the fuel feed tubes for damage, replacement if any
damage is found, and modification of the fuel feed line installation
inside the left- and right-hand fuel tanks, which would terminate the
repetitive inspections.
    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 the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    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 the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the FAA
evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other
products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in TCCA AD CF-2019-19R1 described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and the European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to develop a process to use certain EASA
ADs as the primary source of information for compliance with
requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has since coordinated

with other manufacturers and civil aviation authorities (CAAs) to use
this process. As a result, TCCA AD CF-2019-19R1 will be incorporated by
reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore,
require compliance with TCCA AD CF-2019-19R1 in its entirety, through
that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Service information
specified in TCCA AD CF-2019-19R1 that is required for compliance with
TCCA AD CF-2019-19R1 will be available at https://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0444 after the FAA
final rule is published.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this proposed AD interim action. If final action
is later identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 46 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Labor cost                    Parts cost               Cost per product       Cost on U.S.  operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 91 work-hours x $85 per   Up to $15,265.............  Up to $23,000............  Up to $1,058,000.
 hour = Up to $7,735.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:

                                     Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Labor cost                             Parts cost                       Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 work-hours x $85 per hour = $255.....  Up to $77,000......................  Up to $77,255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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) 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.

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:

    Title: NSPS for Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1730.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0363.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2013.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or
additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial
notification report, performance tests, periodic reports, and maintain
records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period
during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports are also
required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 115
hours per response. ``Burden'' means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and operators of hospital,
medical or infectious waste incinerators.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,912.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $664,375, which includes $378,826 in
labor costs, $90,924 in capital/startup costs, and $194,625 in
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens; however, this increase is not due to any program
changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because
the revised standard has been in effect for more than three years and
the requirements are different during initial compliance for new
facilities, as compared to on-going compliance for existing facilities.
The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the
initial activities for subject facilities. This includes purchasing
monitoring equipment, conducting performance tests and establishing
recordkeeping systems. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs
for existing facilities. Activities for existing source include
continuously monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual
reports. In addition, there are a number of new facilities that are in
the initial compliance phase described above. The overall result is an
increase in burden hours, labor costs, and O&M costs. Furthermore, a
portion of the labor cost increase is a result of increased labor
rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics to calculate burden costs.
    Additionally, there is an adjustment decrease in capital costs in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is not due to any program
changes. The previous ICR assumed all capital costs associated with
monitoring were incurred during a single year; whereas this ICR
calculates the average capital costs for new sources of each year that
is covered under the ICR.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I hope this letter finds you well.

I am a 58 year old graphic designer, writer, mother and grandmother.  Electronic cigarettes saved my  life.

I've only just now learned about the ability to comment on the Smoking Act etc.  Please - please give us time to comment.

Please allow an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. Please allow the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

Please allow we e-cig users to have time to gather our thoughts and make our contributions.   This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.   Does no one take us into consideration?  We are the end users of the product you seek to regulate and we deserve our say.

Thank you so much.

Sincerely, Rosemarie Scott-Griffiths

[Docket Nos. FDA-2009-E-0202 and FDA-2009-E-0204]

Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent
Extension; LUSEDRA

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the
regulatory review period for

LUSEDRA and is publishing this notice of that determination as required
by law. FDA has made the determination because of the submission of
applications to the Director of Patents and Trademarks, Department of
Commerce, for the extension of a patent which claims that human drug
product.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments and petitions to the Division of
Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630
Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Submit electronic comments
to http://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Friedman, Office of Regulatory
Policy, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg.
51, rm. 6222, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug
and Patent Term Restoration Act (Public Law 100-670) generally provide
that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as
the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical
device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory
review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a
product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the
amount of extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of Patents and
Trademarks may award (for example, half the testing phase must be
subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the patent
was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a regulatory review
period for a human drug product will include all of the testing phase
and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA recently approved for marketing the human drug product LUSEDRA
(fospropofol disodium). LUSEDRA is a sedative-hypnotic agent indicated
for monitored anesthesia care sedation in adult patients undergoing
diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Subsequent to this approval, the
Patent and Trademark Office received patent term restoration
applications for LUSEDRA (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,204,257 and 6,872,838)
from University of Kansas, and the Patent and Trademark Office
requested FDA's assistance in determining the patents' eligibility for
patent term restoration. In a letter dated September 29, 2009, FDA
advised the Patent and Trademark Office that this human drug product
had undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval of
LUSEDRA represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use of
the product. Thereafter, the Patent and Trademark Office requested that
FDA determine the product's regulatory review period.
    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
LUSEDRA is 2,405 days. Of this time, 1,962 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 443 days occurred
during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became effective:
May 15, 2002. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the date the
investigational new drug application became effective was on May 15,
2002.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human drug product under section 505(b) of the act: September 27,
2007. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the new drug
application (NDA) 22-244 was submitted on September 27, 2007.
    3. The date the application was approved: December 12, 2008. FDA
has verified the applicant's claim that NDA 22-244 was approved on
December 12, 2008.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office applies several statutory limitations in
its calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its
applications for patent extension, this applicant seeks 1,424 days of
patent term extension for patent no. 6,204,257 and 899 days of patent
term extension for patent no. 6,872,838.
    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments and ask for a redetermination
by June 4, 2010. Furthermore, any interested person may petition FDA
for a determination regarding whether the applicant for extension acted
with due diligence during the regulatory review period by October 4,
2010. To meet its burden, the petition must contain sufficient facts to
merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d
sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should be in the format specified in
21 CFR 10.30.
    Comments and petitions should be submitted to the Division of
Dockets Management. Three copies of any mailed information are to be
submitted, except that individuals may submit one copy. Comments are to
be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading
of this document. Comments and petitions may be seen in the Division of
Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0403; Airspace Docket No. 11-AWP-3]

Modification of Class E Airspace; Alturas, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Alturas Municipal
Airport, Alturas, CA. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate
aircraft using Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS)
standard instrument approach procedures at Alturas Municipal Airport.
This improves the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, October 20, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eldon Taylor, Federal Aviation
Administration, Operations Support

Group, Western Service Center, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, WA 98057;
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 19, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice
of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at Alturas, CA (76
FR 28915). Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15,
2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by creating additional Class E surface airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Alturas, CA, to accommodate
IFR aircraft executing RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach
procedures at the airport. This action is necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
regulation: (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) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S.
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it establishes
additional controlled airspace at Alturas Municipal Airport, Alturas,
CA.
