SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Food and Cosmetic Export Certificate Application Process

OMB Control Number 0910-0793--Revision

    Some countries may require manufacturers of FDA-regulated products
to provide certificates for products they wish to export to that
country. Accordingly, firms exporting products from the United States
often ask FDA to provide such a ``certificate.'' In many cases, foreign
governments are seeking official assurance that products exported to
their countries can be marketed in the United States, or that they meet
specific U.S. requirements. In some cases, review of an FDA export
certificate may be required as part of the process to register or
import a product into another country. An export certificate generally
indicates that the particular product is marketed in the United States
or otherwise eligible for export and that the particular manufacturer
has no unresolved enforcement actions pending before, or taken by, FDA.
FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) issues
export certificates for food and cosmetic products. Interested persons
may request a certificate electronically via the Certificate
Application Process (CAP), a component of the FDA Industry Systems, or
by contacting CFSAN for assistance. To facilitate the application
process we have eliminated paper-based forms. For food products, we
have expanded the electronic options for providing facility and product
information. Respondents will now be able to identify facilities based
on a food facility registration number, FDA Establishment
Identification (FEI) number, or Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
number. The system uses these identifiers to locate and auto-populate
name and address information, eliminating the need for users to
manually enter this information and reducing the time to complete the
application. Respondents can also upload product information via a
spreadsheet, which reduces the time needed to enter product
information, particularly for applications that include multiple
products. All information is entered using electronic Forms FDA 3613d,
3613e, 3613g, and 3613l and used to evaluate certificate requests.
    While burden associated with information collection activities for
export certificates issued for other FDA-regulated products is approved
under OMB control no. 0910-0498, this collection specifically supports
export certificates issued by CFSAN. Also, because we have eliminated
paper-based forms, respondents who require assistance with completing
export certificate applications online may contact CFSAN directly by
email ([email protected]) or telephone (240-402-
2307). Instructions for Form FDA 3613d are available online at https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/internationalactivities/exporters/ucm353912.htm
and instructions for Form FDA 3613e are available online at https://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/ImportsExports/Exporting/ucm260280.htm. Draft screenshots of Form FDA 3613g and 3613l are
available for comment online at https://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/ImportsExports/Exporting/default.htm.
    Description of Respondents: The respondents to this collection of
information are firms interested in exporting U.S.-manufactured food
and cosmetic products to foreign countries that require export
certificates.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
\2\ All forms are submitted electronically via the Certificate Application Process (CAP).

    We have revised the currently approved burden estimate for the
information collection to reflect the elimination of paper-based forms.
Specifically, and based on our experience with the information
collection, we have reduced the estimated time to prepare a submission
from 1.5 hours to 0.5 hour. The previous estimate was based on the time
necessary to prepare a paper submission, but all firms requesting
export certificates now provide submissions electronically via CAP. We
believe that the time to prepare an electronic submission is under 0.25
hour, but are estimating 0.5 hour as a conservative approach to address
all scenarios. We base our estimates of the total annual responses on
our experience with certificate applications received in the past 3
fiscal years.
    We expect that most firms requesting export certificates in the
next 3 years will choose to take advantage of the option of electronic
submission via CAP. If a firm is unable to submit their information via
CAP, they may contact CFSAN and request assistance. CFSAN will assist
firms in entering their information into the electronic system so that
the firm may receive their export certificates in a timely manner. Our
burden estimates in Table 1 are based on the expectation of 100 percent
participation in the electronic submission process. Providing the
opportunity to submit the information in electronic format has reduced
our previous estimates for the time to prepare each submission.

    Dated: December 26, 2017.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-15-17 for
certain Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes; and Model
A340-200 and -300 series airplanes. AD 2009-15-17 required an
inspection for damage to the protective treatments or any corrosion of
all main landing gear (MLG) bogie beams, and application of protective
treatments if no damage or corrosion was found. If any damage or
corrosion was found, corrective action followed by the application of
protective treatments was required. This new AD continues to require
inspections for damage to the protective treatments or any corrosion of
all MLG bogie beams, application of protective treatments, and
corrective action if necessary. This new AD also requires modification
of the MLG bogie beams, which terminates the repetitive inspections for
any modified bogie beam. This new AD allows optional methods of
compliance for certain actions, and adds Airbus Model A330-200
Freighter series airplanes to the applicability. This new AD revises
the compliance times and adds a one-time inspection for airplanes that
were inspected too early. This AD was prompted by reports of thin paint
coats and paint degradation on enhanced main landing gear (MLG) bogie
beams, as well as reports that some airplanes have been inspected too
early and not re-inspected as needed. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct damage or corrosion of the MLG bogie beams, which could
cause a runway excursion event, bogie beam detachment from the
airplane, or MLG collapse, and could result in damage to the airplane
and injury to the occupants.

DATES: This AD is effective November 2, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of November 2,
2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a second supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking
(SNPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2009-15-17, Amendment
39-15980 (74 FR 37523, July 29, 2009) (``AD 2009-15-17''). AD 2009-15-
17 applied to certain Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes,
and Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes. The second SNPRM
published in the Federal Register on February 5, 2016 (81 FR 6185)
(``the second SNPRM''). We preceded the second SNPRM with the first
SNPRM, which was published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2014 (79
FR 12414) (``the first SNPRM''). We preceded the first SNPRM with a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that published in the Federal
Register on September 25, 2013 (78 FR 58978) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM
was prompted by reports of thin paint coats and paint degradation on
enhanced MLG bogie beams. The NPRM proposed to continue to require
inspections for damage to the protective treatments or any corrosion of
all MLG bogie beams, application of protective treatments, and
corrective action if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require
modification of the MLG bogie beams, which would terminate the
repetitive inspections for any modified bogie beam. In addition, the
NPRM proposed to allow optional methods of compliance for certain
actions, and to add Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes to
the applicability. The first SNPRM proposed to revise the compliance
times and add a one-time inspection for airplanes that were inspected
too early. The second SNPRM proposed to clarify the required actions
and the specific configurations to which the actions must be applied.
We are issuing this AD to detect and correct damage or corrosion of the
MLG bogie beams, which could cause a runway excursion event, bogie beam
detachment from the airplane, or MLG collapse, and could result in
damage to the airplane and injury to the occupants.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2013-0267R1, dated March 4, 2014; corrected May 8, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model
A330-200 Freighter, -200, and -300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200
and -300 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The operator of an A330 aeroplane (which has a common bogie beam
with the A340) reported a fracture of the Right Hand (RH) main
landing gear (MLG) bogie beam, which occurred while turning during
low speed taxi maneuvers. The bogie fractured aft of the pivot point
and remained attached to the sliding tube by the brake torque
reaction rods. After this RH bogie failure, the aeroplane continued
for approximately 40 meters on the forks of the sliding member
before coming to rest on the taxiway.
    The investigations revealed that this event was due to corrosion
pitting occurring on the bore of the bogie beam.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to a
runway excursion event or to detachment of the bogie from the
aeroplane, or to MLG collapse, possibly resulting in damage to the
aeroplane and injury to the occupants.
    To enable early detection and repair of corrosion of the
internal surfaces, EASA issued EASA AD 2007-0314 to require a one-
time inspection of all MLG bogie beams, except Enhanced MLG bogie
beams, and the reporting of the results to Airbus. EASA AD 2007-0314
was revised and later superseded by EASA AD 2008-0093, reducing the
inspection threshold period.
    The results of subsequent investigations showed thin paint coats
and paint degradation, confirmed as well on Enhanced MLG bogie
beams. To address this additional concern, EASA issued AD 2011-0141
[which was not mandated by the FAA], retaining the requirements of
EASA AD 2008-0093, which was superseded, to require a one-time
visual inspection of all MLG bogie beams, including a visual
examination of the internal diameter for corrosion or damage to
protective treatments of the bogie beam and measurement of the paint
thickness on the internal bore, accomplishment of the applicable
corrective actions and a modification of the MLG bogie beam to
improve the coat paint application method, and application of
corrosion protection.
    Prompted by in-service requests, EASA issued EASA AD 2012-0015
retaining the requirements of EASA AD 2011-0141, which was
superseded, and introducing repetitive inspections of the MLG bogie
beams, which allows extension of the compliance time for the MLG
bogie beam modification from 15 years to 21 years. Modification of a
MLG bogie beam constitutes terminating action for the repetitive
inspections for that MLG bogie beam.
    Reports on inspection results provided to Airbus show that some
aeroplanes were initially inspected too early (before 4 years and 6
months since aeroplane first flight with bogie beam installed/
installed after overhaul) and have not been re-inspected as
required.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2012-0015, which is superseded, and
redefines the inspection periodicity. This [EASA] AD also introduces
a specific one-time inspection for aeroplanes that have been
inspected too early.
    Prompted by operator comments, this [EASA] AD is revised to
clarify the required actions and the specific configurations to
which the actions must be applied. Appendix 1 of this [EASA] AD has
been amended accordingly.
    This [EASA] AD is republished to editorially correct paragraph
(4).

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2013-
0828.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comment received on the second
SNPRM and the FAA's response.

Request To Revise the Applicability of the Second SNPRM

    American Airlines (AAL) requested that we revise the applicability
of the proposed AD (in the second SNPRM) to exclude airplanes with MLG
bogie beams that have had Airbus modification 58896 embodied in-
service, as specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A330-32-3237. AAL
pointed out that paragraph (c) of the proposed AD (in the second SNPRM)
does not reflect MLG bogie beams that were modified in-service.
    We disagree with the request to revise the applicability of the
proposed AD (in the second SNPRM). Paragraph (k) of this AD
specifically requires inspection, repair, modification, and re-
identification of the MLG bogie beams. However, paragraph (f) of this
AD states that actions already done need not be repeated. If an
operator has already accomplished the actions required by paragraph (k)
of this AD before the effective date of this AD, then the modified
airplane is already in compliance with the corresponding requirements
of this AD. We have not made any changes to this AD in this regard.

Additional Changes Made in This AD

    We have revised paragraph (m)(1) of this AD to remove reference to
paragraph (g) of this AD; the reporting requirement specified in
paragraph (m)(1) of this AD is required only for the

inspection required by paragraph (k) of this AD.
    We have also revised paragraph (m)(2) of this AD to reference the
correct service information for reporting inspection findings for the
inspection required by paragraph (h) of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
second SNPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the second SNPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 51 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it takes about 34 work-hours per product to
comply with this AD, and 1 work-hour per product for reporting. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $151,725, or
$2,975 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 10 work-hours at a labor rate of $85 per work-hour, for a
cost of $850 per product. We have no way of determining the number of

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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 that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    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.

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)
2009-15-17, Amendment 39-15980 (74 FR 37523, July 29, 2009), and adding
the following new AD:

2016-18-07 Airbus: Amendment 39-18637; Docket No. FAA-2013-0828;
Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-036-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective November 2, 2016.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2009-15-17, Amendment 39-15980 (74 FR 37523,
July 29, 2009) (``AD 2009-15-17'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to the airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1)
and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category, all
manufacturer serial numbers (MSN), except those on which Airbus
modification 58896 has been embodied in production.
    (1) Airbus Model A330-223F, -243F, -201, -202, -203, -223, -243,
-301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes.
    (2) Airbus Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, and -313
airplanes.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32, Landing
gear.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of thin paint coats and paint
degradation on enhanced main landing gear (MLG) bogie beams, as well
as reports that some airplanes have been inspected too early and not
re-inspected as needed. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct
damage or corrosion of the MLG bogie beams, which could cause a
runway excursion event, bogie beam detachment from the airplane, or
MLG collapse, and could result in damage to the airplane and injury
to the occupants.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Repetitive Inspections for Certain Airplane Configurations

    For airplanes equipped with basic MLG (201252 series), or growth
MLG (201490 series): After 54 months at the earliest, but no later
than 72 months since the left-hand (LH) or right-hand (RH) MLG bogie
beam's first flight on an airplane, or since its first flight on an
airplane after overhaul, as applicable, clean the internal bore and
accomplish a detailed inspection of internal surfaces of the LH and
RH MLG bogie beams to detect any damage to the protective treatments
and any corrosion, and measure the paint thickness on the internal
bore, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus
Service Bulletin A330-32-3225, Revision 02, including Appendix 1,
dated October 26, 2012; or Airbus Service Bulletin A340-32-4268,
Revision 03, including Appendix 1, dated January 14, 2013; as
applicable. Repeat the inspections thereafter at intervals not less
than 54 months, but not exceeding 72 months, after the most recent
inspection. During overhaul of a MLG bogie beam, any corrosion will
be removed, which means that the first inspection after overhaul of
that MLG bogie beam, as required by this paragraph, is between 54
months and 72 months since its first flight on an airplane after
overhaul.

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0835]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Hackensack River, Jersey City,
NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the Hack-Freight Railroad Bridge across
the Hackensack River, mile 3.1, at Jersey City, New Jersey. The
deviation is necessary to replace four counterweight sheave assemblies
on the west tower of the bridge. This temporary deviation allows the
bridge to remain in the closed-to navigation position during the
construction period.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 6 a.m. on September 30, 2018,
until 6 a.m. on October 7, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2018-0835, is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Judy K. Leung-Yee, Bridge Management
Specialist, First District Bridge Branch, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone
212-514-4336, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The owner of the bridge, Consolidated Rail
Corporation, requested a temporary deviation in order to replace four
counterweight sheave assemblies on the west tower of the bridge.
    The Hack-Freight Railroad Bridge across the Hackensack River, mile
3.1, at Jersey City, New Jersey is a vertical lift bridge with a
vertical clearance of 11 feet at mean high water and 16 feet at mean
low water in the closed position. The existing drawbridge operating
regulation is listed at 33 CFR 117.723(c).
    This temporary deviation will allow the Hack-Freight Railroad
Bridge to remain in the closed position from 6 a.m. on September 30,
2018, to 6 a.m. on October 7, 2018. The waterway is transited by
recreational and commercial vessels. Coordination with known waterway
users has indicated no objection to the closure of the draw. Vessels
able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so at
anytime. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies. There is
no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass.
    The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through
our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their
transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: September 21, 2018.

California Environmental Protection Agency Printed on Recycled Paper Air Resources Board Alan C. Lloyd, Ph. D. Chairman 1001 I Street ° P. O. Box 2815 Sacramento, California 95812 ° www. arb. ca. gov Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor September 23, 2004 Honorable Michael O. Leavitt Administrator U. S. Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D. C. 20460 Re: 1998 2003 Amendments to the California Zero Emission Vehicle Regulation; Request for Confirmation That Amendments Pertaining to 2003 2006 Model Years Are Within the Scope of Previous Waivers of Preemption Under Clean Air Act Section 209( b), and Request for Waiver of Preemption for the Amended Requirements for Model Years 2007 and Subsequent Dear Administrator Leavitt:

During 1999 2003, the California Air Resources Board ( ARB or Board) adopted four sets of amendments to the California Zero Emission Vehicle ( ZEV) regulation. I am writing to request that you confirm ARB's determination that the aggregated amendments resulting from the four rulemakings as they affect model years 2003 2006 are within the scope of the waiver of preemption under Clean Air Act ( CAA) section 209( b) for the original ZEV regulation   adopted as part of California's first generation Low Emission Vehicle ( LEV I) rulemaking. I am also requesting that you issue a new waiver of preemption for the amended ZEV regulations applicable to the 2007 and subsequent model years.

Attachment 1 to this letter is Executive Order 04 062, which contains findings that the ZEV amendments applicable to model years 2003 2006 are within the scope of previous waivers, and that the California emission standards for passenger cars and light duty trucks as amended by the ZEV amendments are at least as protective of the public health and welfare as the comparable federal standards. Attachment 2 is a comprehensive document setting forth the basis for our requests. Attachment 3 is a list of the pertinent documents that are contained electronically on the two enclosed CD ROMs.

The California ZEV regulation is an important component of ARB's motor vehicle emission control program, and I am sure you will want to have our request processed in a timely manner. Administrator Michael O. Leavitt September 23, 2004 Page 2 If you need additional information on this item, please call me at ( 916) 445 4383. Legal questions may be directed to Senior Staff Counsel Tom Jennings at ( 916) 323 9608, and technical questions may be directed to Chuck Shulock, Vehicle Programs Specialist, at ( 916) 322 6964.

Memorandum to the Docket
From: Jim O'Leary
Subject: Telephone conversation with David Case, Environmental Treatment Council (ETC)
On February 4, 2016 Cpan Lee and I had a telephone conversation with David Case of ETC to better understand his concerns about modifying the Biennial Report (BR) to require LQGs to report all hazardous wastes generated in the reporting year. Currently, BR regulations focus on hazardous waste generated and shipped off-site during the reporting year. This has the potential impact of LQGs not reporting wastes generated between October 1 and December 31 of the reporting year since LQGs have up to 90 days to accumulate hazardous waste on-site before sending off-site to a permitted TSDF.
Currently, TSDFs use manifest data to provide information to LQGs to complete BR submissions, if not actual BR submission reports.
