Advancing the Development of Pediatric Therapeutics: Pediatric
Clinical Trial Endpoints for Rare Diseases With a Focus on Pediatric
Patient Perspectives; Public Workshop

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Pediatric Therapeutics, Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), is announcing a public workshop entitled
``Advancing the Development of Pediatric Therapeutics (ADEPT 6):
Pediatric Clinical Trial Endpoints for Rare Diseases with a Focus on
Pediatric Patient Perspectives.'' The purpose of this workshop is to
discuss pediatric patient-specific engagement in the development of
clinical trial endpoints for rare diseases.

DATES: The public workshop will be held on November 12, 2019, from 8
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for
registration date and information.

ADDRESSES: The public workshop will be held at the FDA White Oak
Campus, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 31 Conference Center, the Great
Room (Rm. 1503-A), Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002. Entrance for the
public workshop participants (non-FDA employees) is through Building 1,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Patient engagement is critical in the development of patient-
focused study endpoints that measure clinical benefit in clinical
trials. Asking patients what aspects of their disease they consider
important to measure is especially important for rare diseases, given
the lack of established endpoints for many rare diseases, the small
number of patients available for enrollment in trials, and the
heterogeneity of disease manifestations (e.g., between patients and
over time). While there is increased emphasis on incorporating the
patient voice in rare disease drug development activities, there is an
increased need for pediatric patient-specific engagement efforts.
Pediatric rare disease drug development would benefit from direct and
early involvement of pediatric patients and their caregivers in
determining the most relevant and clinically meaningful endpoints and
outcome assessment tools for use in clinical trials.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    In this workshop, FDA will obtain the pediatric patient perspective
on their disease/condition and what is most important to consider when
designing rare disease trials. There will also be discussion regarding
patients' thoughts on clinical endpoints that are currently being used
in clinical trials, potential areas of innovation, and how to create
processes that might include pediatric patients and their caregivers as
collaborators in endpoint development in early stages of medical
product development (e.g., protocol design). The morning session will
focus on identifying endpoints that capture important aspects of how
pediatric patients feel and function. The afternoon session will focus
on steps for development of clinical outcome assessment tools for use
in pediatric patient populations and the potential role of child and
youth friendly technology in endpoint assessments.

III. Participation in the Public Workshop

    Registration: Persons interested in attending this public workshop
must register online at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/adept-6-workshop-pediatric-clinical-trial-endpoints-for-rare-diseases-registration-67523118465 by November 5, 2019. For those without internet access,

Amendment 39-17324; AD 2013-02-03]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-Trent 970-84, 970B-84, 972-84, 972B-84, 977-
84, 977B-84, and 980-84 turbofan engines. This AD requires replacement
of the fuel oil heat exchanger (FOHE). This AD was prompted by a report
of an in-flight increase of N2 intermediate pressure rotor vibrations
resulting in an engine surge and pilot shut down of the engine. We are
issuing this AD to prevent rotor bearing oil starvation, uncontained
engine failure, and damage to the airplane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) EASA AD 2012-
0260, dated

December 11, 2012, to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:
    During a revenue service flight, a Trent 900 engine experienced
increased N2 intermediate pressure (IP) vibrations, followed by an
engine surge. The pilot shut down the engine, the aeroplane carried out
an air turn-back, and a 3-engine landing was successfully performed.
Subsequent investigation results revealed the presence of oil by-pass
seal material from the Fuel-to-Oil Heat Exchanger (FOHE) in the
restrictor hole of the Tail Bearing Housing (TBH) cover plate. The
blocked restrictor hole caused oil starvation to the low pressure (LP)
and IP location bearings.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to LP
location bearing damage, possibly resulting in uncontained engine
failure and consequent damage to the aeroplane.

The oil baffle seals in FOHE, part number 47111-1241, become damaged
with use and loose seal material can block the restrictor hole. You may
obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    RR has issued Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin RB.211-79-
AH031, dated October 25, 2012. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the United Kingdom and is
approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral
agreement with the European Community, EASA has notified us of the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information
referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    No domestic operators use this product. Therefore, we find that
notice and opportunity for prior public comment are unnecessary and
that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than
30 days. Accordingly, this AD is effective upon publication.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2012-1334; Directorate
Identifier 2012-NE-49-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    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).

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this 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 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 regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

 C 1 APPENDIX C Calculation Methods and GENEEC2 Model Input/ Output Tables Showing Estimated Environmental Concentrations ( EECs) for Direct Application to Water In addition to crop and non crop terrestrial uses, imazapyr can be applied directly to surface waters for control of aquatic weeds. Estimations of aquatic EECs resulting from direct application to water have not changed substantially from the April 2003 EFED drinking water assessment in support of new uses for aquatic weeds. However, the current label ( 8/ 25/ 03) for HABITATTM herbicide indicates that a one half mile setback from drinking water intakes is required. EFED does not currently have an approved policy for calculating EECs in water bodies where pesticides are applied with a set back distance from drinking water intakes. Therefore, the half mile setback distance was not considered in April 2003 assessment, and is not considered here. As a result, the assessment presented herein is more conservative than one where a setback distance is considered.

To assess exposure concentrations for direct application of imazapyr to control aquatic weeds, EFED used as a reference or benchmark water body the standard EFED pond used for estimating ecological exposure to aquatic organisms from runoff of chemicals applied terrestrially. The standard pond allows for dissipative or degradative processes once the chemical reaches the pond. A complete description of the standard pond, including its dimensions, volume, and chemical characteristics are given in the general description for the EFED GENEEC2 surface water model which is available at the EPA internet site:

http:// www. epa. gov/ oppefed1/ models/ water/ geneec2_ description. htm EECs for Direct Application of Imazapyr to GENEEC2 Ecological Pond In order to have a standard aquatic environment in which all chemicals could be assessed and compared on an equal footing, EFED developed a " standard agricultural field farm pond" scenario for all aquatic exposure assessments. This " standard pond" scenario assumes that rainfall onto a treated, 10 hectare agricultural field causes pesticide laden runoff into a one hectare, 20,000 cubic meter volume, 2.00 meter deep water body. Although this ` standard scenario' was designed to predict pesticide concentrations in the standard farm pond, it has been shown to be a good predictor of upper level pesticide concentrations in small but ecologically important upland streams ( Effland et al., 1999). By simple calculation, and assuming no attenuating factors such as foliar interception, direct application at the maximum rate of 1.5 pounds ae/ acre to the entire surface area of a two meter deep " standard pond" yields a acute, peak concentration of 84 : g/ L ( ppb). Direct application of 1.5 pounds of imazapyr to the surface of water bodies 1.0 feet and  C 2 3.0 feet deep would produce acute, peak concentrations of 552 and 184 : g/ L ( ppb), respectively.

Aquatic EECs for the direct application of imazapyr to surface waters as well as aerial, ground, and granular applications modeled using the GENEEC2 ecological pond scenario are presented in Table IIIB 2. If imazapyr is applied directly to the entire surface of the GENEEC2 pond and uniformly mixed throughout its volume, the maximum pond concentration of imazapyr is calculated by simply dividing the total mass of pesticide applied to the pond by its volume at three water depths.

The " standard pond" has a surface area of 1.00 hectares and is 2.00 meters deep, therefore, it has a volume of 20,000 cubic meters or 2.00 x 107 liters ( L). The maximum imazapyr application rate derived from the label is 1.50 lb/ acre, and since 1.00 lb/ acre is equivalent to 1.121 kg/ ha, the application rate is equivalent to 1.682 kg/ ha or 1.682 x 109 : g/ ha. Thus, the peak concentration for imazapyr is:

( 1.682 x 109 : g/ ha x 1.00 ha)/( 2.00 x 107 L) = 84.1 : g/ L ( ppb)

Direct application of 1.5 pounds of imazapyr to the surface of a water body 2.0 meters deep would produce an acute concentration of 84.1 : g/ L ( ppb). Direct application of 1.5 pounds of imazapyr to the surface of water bodies 1.0 feet and 3.0 feet deep would produce acute concentrations of 552 and 184 : g/ L ( ppb), respectively. Calculated concentrations can be found in Table C 1, below.

Table C 1: Direct Application of 1.5 Pounds per Acre to the Surface of Water.

Water Depth Peak Concentration Maximum 4 Day Average Maximum 21 Day Average Maximum 60 Day Average Maximum 90 Day Average 1.0 Foot 552 : g/ L ( ppb) 552 : g/ L ( ppb) 549 : g/ L ( ppb) 542 : g/ L ( ppb) 538 : g/ L ( ppb)

3.0 Foot 184 : g/ L ( ppb) 184 : g/ L ( ppb) 183 : g/ L ( ppb) 181 : g/ L ( ppb) 179 : g/ L ( ppb)

2.0 Meter 84.1 : g/ L ( ppb) 84.1 : g/ L ( ppb) 83.6 : g/ L ( ppb) 82.6 : g/ L ( ppb) 81.9 : g/ L ( ppb)

In order to conveniently use the built in GENEEC2 routines to estimate imazapyr concentrations in the pond as a function of time for the 2.0 meter water depth, one can adjust the application rate in the GENEEC2 terrestrial routine to yield the directly calculated 84.1 ppb peak concentration. Since GENEEC2 output is directly proportional to application rate, one may simply use any trial terrestrial output ( within compound solubility limits) and use the appropriate proportionality factor to generate the peak concentration. For example, if the terrestrial single application rate of 1.5 lb / acre and the appropriate chemical specific inputs for imazapyr are used, the following results are obtained:  C 3 GENEEC ( Ecological Pond) Results for Terrestrial Application of Imazapyr RUN No. 111 FOR Imazapyr ON Any Crop * INPUT VALUES *  RATE (#/ AC) No. APPS & SOIL SOLUBIL APPL TYPE NO SPRAY INCORP ONE( MULT) INTERVAL Kd ( PPM ) (% DRIFT) ZONE( FT) ( IN)  1.500( 1.500) 1 1 0.07 11000.0 AERL_ B( 13.0) .0 .0 FIELD AND STANDARD POND HALFLIFE VALUES ( DAYS)  METABOLIC DAYS UNTIL HYDROLYSIS PHOTOLYSIS METABOLIC COMBINED ( FIELD) RAIN/ RUNOFF ( POND) ( POND EFF) ( POND) ( POND)  2062.00 2 N/ A 5.30 657.20 .00 657.20 GENERIC EECs ( IN MICROGRAMS/ LITER ( PPB)) GENEEC Version 2.0 Aug 1, 2001  PEAK MAX 4 DAY MAX 21 DAY MAX 60 DAY MAX 90 DAY GEEC AVG GEEC AVG GEEC AVG GEEC AVG GEEC  90.10 90.02 89.56 88.50 87.70 Using the peak concentration of 90.1, the proportionality factor is 84.1/ 90.10 or 0.9334.

Additionally, with all other inputs being equal, GENEEC2 output values are directly proportional to the application rate. Therefore, the ratio  C 4 between the peak concentrations for the 1 foot and 3 foot water depths, and the peak concentration for the two meter depth, can be used to calculate concentrations at the other four GENEEC2 output intervals ( Table C 1).

A simpler, equivalent, general method of calculation ( tabulated by Dr. DeWitt) for a water body of uniform depth is to divide the mass of pesticide applied per unit cross sectional surface area by the volume of that unit water column. Concentrations along the edge of a standing water body can be estimated by consulting the DeWitt table for an application rate of 1.5 lbs/ acre applied to a six inch depth of water. Therefore, a uniform application of 1.5 lbs/ acre, without the standard EFED assumption of instantaneous mixing throughout the water body, would yield an estimated edge of water concentration of 1100 ppb.


         Results of EPA's Section 610 Review of the Final Rule for  Mobile Source Air Toxics: Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Mobile Sources                                                          EPA Office of Transportation and Air Quality                                  November 2016

      On February 26, 2007, EPA published the final rulemaking "Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Mobile Sources" (72 FR 8428), hereinafter referred to as the "MSAT2" rule.  EPA promulgated this rule primarily to establish new controls on gasoline fuel, light-duty passenger vehicles, and portable fuel containers to reduce emissions of benzene and other mobile source air toxics.

       Pursuant to Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), EPA has completed a review of the MSAT2 rule to determine whether the provisions that could affect small entities should be continued without change, or should be rescinded or amended to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities.  As discussed below, we have concluded that no changes in the rule are warranted.       Background               As EPA began to develop the rule, we formally evaluated the potential impacts of the program on small businesses according to the requirements of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA), which is part of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.  During this process, we assessed the potential impact of the rule on the types of small entities that would be directly affected by the rule  -  gasoline fuel refiners, portable fuel container (gas can) manufacturers, and manufacturers in the light-duty vehicle industry (vehicle manufacturers including small volume manufacturers, independent commercial importers, and alternative fuel vehicle converters).  EPA determined that several companies in these categories met the Small Business Administration criteria of small entities, and we took the additional steps specified by SBREFA to identify and address concerns of these small entities.  A federal Interagency SBREFA Panel was convened to consider the available information from small entities and other sources.  The Panel made several recommendations for EPA to consider in the rule, and we proposed and took comment on these recommendations.                In the final rule, EPA generally adopted the major flexibilities and hardship relief provisions that were recommended by the Panel (72 FR 8528), finalizing special provisions to allow for: additional compliance lead time and hardship provisions (of up to an additional two years' of lead time) for light-duty vehicle manufacturers; additional compliance time and special averaging, banking, and trading (ABT) provisions for small gasoline refiners and importers, and hardship provisions for all gasoline refiners and importers; and additional lead time and certification provisions, as well as hardship provisions, for all gas can manufacturers.               Discussion of the Five Statutory Factors              As discussed below, EPA has reviewed the 2007 MSAT2 final rule with respect to the five factors set forth in Section 610 of the RFA.                1.  Continued Need for the Rule              One of the factors that must be considered in a Section 610 review is the continued need for the rule under review.  Air toxics can cause a variety of serious health effects, including cancer.  Mobile sources are projected to continue to be a significant contributor to emissions of air toxics (which are also known as hazardous air pollutants) across the country into the future, notwithstanding EPA rules finalized over the past two decades that have been, and will keep on, providing reductions in mobile source air toxics emissions.  In particular, benzene continues to be one of the most important drivers of national cancer risk from air toxics.  According to EPA's 2011 National Air Toxics Assessment, the entire country experiences an elevated cancer risk from benzene.  Although benzene emissions will be decreasing, EPA's projections indicate that cancer risk from benzene will continue to be of potential concern.  Estimates examining benzene emission trends at the time of the final rule indicated that mobile sources were responsible for about 60 percent of benzene emissions, and were expected to remain above 40 percent by 2020.  We predicted that the final fuel benzene standards and hydrocarbon standards for vehicles and portable fuel containers would together reduce total emissions of air toxics by 330,000 tons in 2030, including 61,000 tons of benzene.  We also predicted that, as a result of the MSAT2 final rule, in 2030: passenger vehicles would emit 45 percent less benzene, gas cans would emit almost 80 percent less benzene, and gasoline would contain 38 percent less benzene overall.              Controlling emissions from light-duty highway vehicles, gasoline, and portable gasoline containers has had, and continues to have, important public health and welfare benefits.  The provisions of the rule applying to all gasoline fuel refiners, gas can manufacturers, and light-duty vehicle manufacturers and their related industries have proven to be feasible and effective.  EPA concludes that the rule continues to be necessary, feasible, and effective.              2.  Nature of Complaints or Comments Received Concerning the Rule              EPA received one comment during the public comment period for this Section 610 review, however this comment was outside the scope of the review. 	       3.  Complexity of the Rule              The Agency must also consider the complexity of the rule under review.  Although cost-effectively achieving the air pollution improvements of the program required us to establish a number of regulatory provisions, we carefully coordinated the various requirements and worked with industry participants, large and small, to facilitate implementation.  The rule also included a number of provisions aimed at easing the burden of compliance for all affected gasoline fuel refiners, gas can manufacturers, and light-duty vehicle manufacturers, independent commercial importers, and alternative fuel vehicle converters.  Further, we developed a Small Entity Compliance Guide following the publication of the final rule, which provided descriptions of the regulations and small entity provisions, Q&As, and other helpful compliance information.              4.  Extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules              The Agency must also consider the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules.  As with previous vehicle regulations, we specifically designed the MSAT2 program vehicle requirements and phase-in schedule to build on the existing Federal programs and to mesh with and complement related programs in California and other states.  Similarly, we designed the phase-in for the gasoline benzene requirements and the small refiner provisions to transition smoothly and to coexist with earlier gasoline and diesel fuel requirements, so that refiners could integrate program implementation.  With regard to gas cans, the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) in response to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, acted in support of ASTM F2517-05 "Determination of Child-Resistance for Portable Fuel Containers for Consumer Use" and EPA coordinated the MSAT2 gas can requirements with this action.  Subsequent to the 2007 MSAT2 rule, and in response to consumer notifications to EPA and CPSC identifying concerns related to the design of newer gas cans, EPA promulgated a rulemaking to clarify design options available to the industry (80 FR 9078, February 19, 2015).  At this time, we are not aware of any current overlap, duplication, or conflict with other similar programs administered by EPA or other agencies.                     5.  Relevant Changes to Technology, Economic Conditions, or Other Factors              Finally, the Agency must consider the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule under review.  Refinery benzene reduction technology has continued to evolve over the past decade.  In addition, light-duty vehicle manufacturers have continuously improved their technologies, including emission-related technologies, over the years.  Lastly, improvements have been made to gas can manufacturing during this timeframe as well.  EPA does not believe that these changes, or the general economic fluctuations that these refining and manufacturing industries have faced, have introduced any significant additional burdens on small entities subject to this rule.               Conclusion              Based on EPA's Section 610 review of the 2007 MSAT2 final rule, as discussed in this document, EPA is not making any amendments to the rule.  As part of any future rulemakings related to these industries, EPA will continue to work with small-entity representatives to minimize any potential unfavorable impacts on these companies while meeting the need for emission reductions.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-09-
11, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300
series airplanes. AD 2011-09-11 currently requires repetitive
inspections for hydraulic fluid contamination of the interior of the
strut disconnect assembly; repetitive inspections for discrepancies of
the interior of the strut disconnect assembly, if necessary; repetitive
inspections of the exterior of the strut disconnect assembly for
cracks, if necessary; corrective action if necessary; and an optional
terminating action for the inspections. Since we issued AD 2011-09-11,
we have received reports of side and top cover plates installed with
missing fastener bolts, which results in an unsealed opening on the
system disconnect assembly. This proposed AD would add, for certain
airplanes, an inspection of the side and top cover plates to determine
if all cover plate attach fasteners have been installed, and installing
any missing fasteners including doing an inspection for damage, and
repair if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct
hydraulic fluid contamination, which can cause cracking of titanium
parts in the system disconnect assembly; and also to detect and correct
missing fasteners, which results in unsealed openings on the system
disconnect assembly. Both unsafe conditions can compromise the engine
firewall and result in fire hazards for both the engine compartment and
the strut.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 10,
2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    On April 12, 2011, we issued AD 2011-09-11, Amendment 39-16673 (76
FR 24354, May 2, 2011), for The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300
series airplanes equipped with Pratt and Whitney engines. AD 2011-09-11
requires repetitive inspections for hydraulic fluid contamination of
the interior of the strut disconnect assembly; repetitive inspections
for discrepancies of the interior of the strut disconnect assembly, if
necessary; repetitive inspections of the exterior of the strut
disconnect assembly for cracks, if necessary; corrective action if
necessary; and an optional terminating action for the inspections. AD
2011-09-11 resulted from reports of system disconnect boxes
contaminated with hydraulic fluid, which led to subsequent cracking of
titanium parts in the system disconnect assembly. We issued AD 2011-09-
11 to detect and correct hydraulic fluid contamination, which can cause
cracking of titanium parts in the system disconnect assembly, resulting
in compromise of the engine firewall. A cracked firewall can allow fire
in the engine area to enter the strut and can lead to an uncontained
engine strut fire if flammable fluid is present. Cracking of the
disconnect box may also reduce the effectiveness of the fire
extinguishing system in the engine compartment and could contribute to
an uncontained engine fire. In addition, a cracked disconnect box can
leak flammable fluids into the engine compartment, which can initiate
an engine fire, and lead to one or both fire conditions discussed
above.

Actions Since AD 2011-09-11, Amendment 39-16673 (76 FR 24354, May 2,
2011) Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2011-09-11, Amendment 39-16673 (76 FR 24354, May
2, 2011), we have received reports of side and top cover plates
installed with two fastener bolts on airplanes on which a replacement
of the titanium system disconnect assembly was accomplished in
accordance with AD 2011-09-11. An operator reported that the side and
top cover plates were only temporarily installed with two fasteners for
each cover plate; additional bolts were not in the kits, and the
service bulletin did not provide instructions to install the remaining
bolts. Missing fasteners will allow for fastener holes on the cover
plates to be not closed off, and cover plates to be loose and not
sealed tightly against the disconnect box assembly, resulting in
compromise of the engine firewall. This compromise of the engine
firewall can lead to a fire breach and hazardous effects that have the
same effects as the disconnect box with cracks. In addition, loose
cover plates on the electrical side of the disconnect box, and
vibration from the airplane and engine can cause damage to the
electrical connectors and wire routing into, through, and out of the
disconnect box. Damaged electrical connectors or wires can cause
unwanted engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS) messages or
non-responsive action by the crew when there are actual EICAS messages.
Damaged electrical connectors or wires can create an ignition source
for flammable fluids and result in an uncontained strut fire or fuel
explosion.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 777-54A0024, Revision 2, dated
January 23, 2014. For information on the procedures and compliance
times, see this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2014-0580.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2011-09-11,
Amendment 39-16673 (76 FR 24354, May 2, 2011). This proposed AD would
add, for certain airplanes, an inspection of the side and top cover
plates to determine if all cover plate attach fasteners have been
installed, and installing any missing fasteners including doing an
inspection for damage, and repair if necessary.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 54 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.

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

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs/
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspections. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these repairs/replacements:

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

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe
condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in
this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

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 removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2011-09-11, Amendment 39-16673 (76 FR 24354, May 2, 2011), and adding
the following new AD:

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2014-0580; Directorate Identifier
2014-NM-081-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by October 10,
2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2011-09-11, Amendment 39-16673 (76 FR 24354,
May 2, 2011).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300
series airplanes, certificated in any category; equipped with Pratt
and Whitney engines; as identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 777-
54A0024, Revision 2, dated January 23, 2014.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 54, Nacelles/
Pylons.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of system disconnect boxes that
have been contaminated with hydraulic fluid and, in one incident,
led to subsequent cracking of titanium parts in the system
disconnect assembly. We have received reports of side and top cover
plates installed with missing fastener bolts, which results in an
unsealed opening on the system disconnect assembly. We are issuing
this AD to detect and correct hydraulic fluid contamination, which
can cause cracking of titanium parts in the system disconnect
assembly; and also to detect and correct missing fasteners, which
results in unsealed openings on the system disconnect assembly. Both
unsafe conditions can compromise the engine firewall and result in
fire hazards for both the engine compartment and the strut.

Avenue, SW., Renton, WA 98057; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 18, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Pagosa
Springs, CO, (73 FR 3430). This action would improve the safety of IFR
aircraft executing a new RNAV GPS SIAP approach procedure at Stevens
Field, Pagosa Springs, CO. 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 7400.9R signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15,
2007, 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 establishing Class E airspace at Pagosa Springs, CO.
Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft
executing a new RNAV (GPS) approach procedure at Stevens Field, Pagosa
Springs, CO.
    The FAA has determined that 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 that 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 FAAs 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
controlled airspace at Stevens Field, Pagosa Springs, CO.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part
211, notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) has received a request for a waiver of compliance from certain
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is
described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.

CSX Transportation, Inc.

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0173]

    Pursuant to 49 CFR 213.113(a), and with respect to testing Class 1
tracks in yards, CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSX) petitions for a waiver
from applying remedial actions, which are prescribed for defects found
during rail inspections for Class 3 tracks and above, and is proposing
alternate remedial actions to be taken for defects found during
inspection of Class 1 yard tracks.
    CSX requests a waiver from 49 CFR 213.113 remedial actions for the
following reasons:
    1. Inspection of rail is not required for Class 1 yard tracks under
49 CFR 213.237, and a program to do so (under a waiver grant) increases
safety beyond present requirements.
    2. Class 1 yard tracks are low risk due to the 10 mph maximum
speed.
    3. Defect growth, which is dependent on accumulated tonnage, is
slower on Class 1 yard tracks due to slow accumulation of tonnage.
    4. Yard tracks can have unusual rail sections requiring uncommon
rail plugs and bars, which can extend the remedial action lead time
beyond the actions prescribed for Class 3 and above tracks.
    5. The proposed Class 1 yard track remedial actions provide for
additional time, if necessary and prudent, to relay and replace fit
rail into the track instead of using plug rail.
    6. Application of remedial actions of defects found in Class 3 and
above tracks, to defects found in Class 1 yard tracks, may divert
limited resources and focus away from higher risk Class 3 and above
tracks.
    CSX proposes the following remedial actions for defects found
during rail inspection of Class 1 yard track, and requests that this
waiver be granted to apply these remedial actions to Class 1 yard track
only. (Refer to 49 CFR 213.113(a)(2), remedial action table and notes.)
    Proposed remedial actions for defects found during testing of Class
1 yard tracks:
    1. Compound fissure:
     Note B, no change.
     Note A2, change to, ``* * * up to 48 hours prior to
another such visual inspection * * *.''
     Note A, no change.
    2. Transverse fissure, detail fracture, engine burn fracture,
defective weld:
     Less than 80 percent but not less than 60 percent; apply
bars within 48 hours.
     100 percent but not less than 80 percent; inspect every 48
hours until repaired or bars applied.
    3. Horizontal split head, vertical split head, split web, piped
rail, and head and web separation:
     Greater than 1 inch and less than 4 inches; inspect rail
during monthly yard track inspection.
     Greater than 4 inches; inspect every 48 hours until
repaired or bars applied.
     Break out in rail head; inspect every 48 hours until
repaired or bars applied.
    4. Bolt hole crack:
     Greater than \1/2\ inch and less than 1\1/2\ inches;
inspect rail during monthly yard track inspection.
     Break out in rail head; inspect every 48 hours until
repaired or bars applied.
    5. Broken base, damaged rail:
     Inspect during monthly yard track inspection.
    6. Ordinary break:
     Apply bars within 48 hours.
    Once granted, this waiver will improve track safety by specifically
identifying rail inspection programs for yard tracks and prescribing
remedial actions specific to yard tracks.
